the flow of the sense is nice here, combined with a fine poetic sentiment. there is, however, a rather alarming issue at hand. the situation seems rather reminiscent of Naso's complaint at Amores.I.2, that ol' Cupid has stolen a foot, for is not your hexameter only so by name?
perhaps here may be an opportune time to iterate my couplet entitled
-elegeion elisionis-
inconcinnum incompositumque inceptum Elegiae ora /
usque eludereque elidereque immodice est.
the couplet is in metre with elision between every word, and, by the glorious magic of synaephea, elision between the two lines.

i hope everyone has enjoyed their metrical excursus thus far, and i look forward to seeing further efforts from all, i.e. additional verses by the erudite fellows involved thus far and the diligent still coming round to post.
whiteoctave wrote:Yes, Benissime, the couplets do concern you.
A rough translation of them might run 'Let us occupy the Olympian palace of the Muses in their willingness, Muses who long ago bestowed Homer with stories to sing for evermore and breathed inspiration upon Hesiod. Grant Stephen, daughters of Great Zeus, a more insulting* line for his poem, and grant too that I do not compose worthless elegiacs with worthless expressions, children of Mnemosyne, but ward off such things from me!'
whiteoctave wrote:* I imagine Will has a better translation for this word, as I may well be on the wrong lines.
I imagine the missing letter of stich' is a and that it is a cheaky Annisesque formation by analogy from the defective noun *stix, which only occurs in the gen. sing. and nom. & acc. pl. - I think we have addressed this before!
Greek suggestions would be interesting, in order to show the discrepancy that the languages can often hold in composition.

What is Property Management?
Property management—also known as real estate management—encompasses all aspects of running an income property, from finding and screening tenants to maintaining the property, collecting rent, and handling any issues that arise.
While some professional property managers specialize in certain types of services, most are prepared to take full responsibility for your property—unless you'd prefer to handle certain things yourself. To learn more about the services property management companies offer, read 10 Reasons to Hire a Property Manager.
Why Use a Professional Property Manager?
Professional property management can make owning (and profiting from!) rental properties a hassle-free experience.
For most, the decision to use a professional real estate manager is a simple cost/benefit equation. Not only are they experts at handling properties and tenants, they generally take only a small percentage of the monthly rent in exchange for their services. When you consider what you get in return—a hassle-free, essentially passive income streamâthe decision to employ a professional property manager is a no-brainer for the majority of rental property owners.
While the right property manager can greatly benefit any rental property owner, you might especially want to consider hiring one if any of the following things are true:
- You live further than a couple of neighborhoods away from your rental property
- You're not a home maintenance guru
- You don't have at least 10-12 hours per month to deal with tasks related to your rental property
- You don't want to have to make yourself constantly available in case of emergency
- You don't have a good working knowledge of landlord-tenant law
- You don't ever want to have to worry about dealing with difficult or non-paying tenants
Finding and Selecting a Property Management Company
We know property management, and as the leading directory our only goal is to quickly connect you with the property manager that best fits your specific needs.
At All Property Management, we make finding property managers easy. Whether you're looking for someone to manage a single-family residence, apartment building, commercial property, or homeowners' association, you can use our database of thousands of property management companies to:
- Search for property management companies by zip code
- View up-to-date descriptions of these property managers' services
- Receive fast, free quotes
Selecting a property management company is a slightly more difficult task. Not only do you want a manager with the right experience and the right price, you want to make sure the company's overall focus and management style are a good fit for you. Read Choosing the Right Property Manager and 215-318-2326 to learn more about how to make the right choice.

the weekendWednesday, June 16, 2010
You know what last weekend was? TNNA, where like past years, my mother and sister and I had an awesome girls weekend. I saw some amazing yarn, and MANY sweaters I would love to knit.
Check out this display at blue sky alpacas. Can you stand it? All those beautiful hand knits! I wanted to move right in. Posters and all. (Would love to make that sweater in the top right.)
Spud & Chloe. I know. Cute, cute, cute. (How about that baby and pattern in the poster!)
Classic Elite. One of my all time favorite booths to check out. SO many great patterns for the fall. I am in love with that sweater up there. That one over there. The one with the purple shirt under it. I know! I would love to make it.
Amy Butler. Did you know she has a line of organic yarn? Yep. And a pattern book to boot. Chalked full of beautiful things. (I wanted to move right in here, too.)
Veronik Avery. Veronik has another new book out. Filled with fabulous projects from small to large.

BOW, Wash. — Rancher Hugh Mark Blackwood was in the process of correcting water runoff issues when he was assessed a $14,000 penalty in December 2011 by the state agency that had demanded the work.
Blackwood said he's having a hard time paying the penalty and making the repairs.
The penalty could have been much higher, in the hundreds of thousands.
An inspector from Washington state's Department of Ecology had sampled water on his property 12 times in the 19 previous months, finding readings as high as 3,500 times the state's surface water quality standard for fecal coliform bacteria.
Ecology found "a concrete slab partially covered with manure, and a hillside covered in manure-contaminated mud and used cattle bedding, both drain directly to ditches that flow to Wear Creek, a tributary of the Samish River."
"Ecology was trying to help Mr. Blackwood come into compliance," field inspector Mark Kaufman said. "We offered technical and financial assistance and contacted neighboring farmers to help him."
Blackwood, who raises replacement heifers on his 30 acres between Bow and Sedro-Woolley, denied assistance from Ecology, Kaufman said. In the months after the initial inspection in February 2010, the rancher worked with the Skagit Conservation District to develop a farm plan and to implement Best Management Practices to keep manure out of surface water.
Work to divert runoff by sealing a ditch in a culvert progressed slowly, Blackwood said. The Conservation District "took a huge amount of time," and weather added to the delay.
Ecology issued warning letters and, in January 2011, sent a formal order directing Blackwood to correct the problems.
"We worked our heads off," Blackwood said. About 60 feet of ditch were yet to be completed when he was assessed the penalty.
Blackwood said the Conservation District had granted him a 90-day extension, but Carolyn Kelly, district manager of the Skagit CD said, "We don't have the ability to grant an extension. That's Ecology's discretion."
Despite the work Blackwood had done, discharges continued to exceed state standards.
In imposing the penalty in December 2011, Richard Grout, manager of Ecology's Bellingham Field Office, said the farm was "the single largest ongoing contributor of manure and manure-related contaminants in the Samish River Watershed."
"Although the penalty being considered is significant, the penalty could have been much higher," Grout wrote. "When considering 12 inspections with no significant action taken over the period of 19 months, the penalty could have been calculated at $360,000. Additionally, the penalty could have been calculated for 249 days of noncompliance with conditions of (the) Immediate Action Order. Using Ecology's enforcement discretion, the actual penalty is based upon only one day of discharges above the state water quality standard."
The Revised Code of Washington addressing violations of surface water quality standards, such as fuel spills and hazardous waste discharge, allows assessment of penalties up to $10,000 per day. Blackwood was cited both for violating the law and for failure to comply with the notice of correction.
Kaufman said when Blackwood's appeal failed, the penalty was payable and due. Blackwood elected to make payments and he has kept current on them, Kaufman said.
Kelly said the Conservation District continues to work with Blackwood to make sure he implements all necessary practices.
The 75-year-old Blackwood supplements his Social Security retirement income by raising the heifers. He said he has spent $20,000 so far on the penalty and lawyer fees and isn't sure how he can handle the costs.
"I don't know. I'm kind of stuck," he said. "Do I spend money to fix things or just leave?"

With a foot or more of snow still blanketing most of northern Minnesota, the snowmobiling season may extend into April for the first time in many years, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said.
With a foot or more of snow still blanketing most of northern Minnesota, the snowmobiling season may extend into April for the first time in many years, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said. State trails will remain open on public land while weather and snow conditions permit; however grant-in-aid snowmobile trails close for the season on April 1, when permits with private landowners expire.
"We have had great snowmobiling this year, especially in the last half of the season, and we owe a great debt of thanks to the many snowmobile club volunteers who made it possible by grooming Minnesota's extensive system of grant-in-aid trails," said Courtland Nelson, director of the DNR's Parks and Trails Division. "Of the state's 22,000 miles of snowmobile trails, 21,000 miles are maintained by snowmobile club members. They worked long and hard this winter, and we appreciate the great work that they did."
Late season snowmobilers need to be aware of changing conditions, including bare spots, flowing water and exposed rocks. Some gates may be closed on grant-in-aid trails.
"As the temperatures rise, riding conditions are likely to deteriorate," said Andrew Korsberg, DNR trail program coordinator. "We advise checking conditions before hitting the trails."
The statewide snow depth map and state trail conditions are updated by 2 p.m. every Thursday at www.mndnr.gov/snow. For the most up-to-date trail conditions, contact the local trail administrator. Contact information can be found online or by calling the DNR Information Center Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at 651-296-6157 or toll-free 888-646-6367.
Even if snow conditions are good, the DNR reminds snowmobilers not to ride on trails that traverse private land. After April 1, riding these trails without the landowner's permission would be trespassing.

A HOTEL owner claims caravans that look 'like public toilets' are ruining his guests' view of the seafront.
David Knight, owner of the Leam Hotel, said his guests cannot see Weymouth Bay from the lounge area of his property after the caravans appeared on the Esplanade.
He said: "It's terrible. We pay extortionate business rates, being a seafront hotel.
"Why should we do that and then have that view taken away from us?"
Mr Knight said he has guests from as far away as Scotland who come to enjoy the view.
"They are paying to have the sea view, and some even bring their binoculars to see the boats, and then they arrive and it looks like there are public toilets on the Esplanade."
He added: "There has been absolutely no consultation, and when guests ask me how long they will be there for, I have to say I have no idea.
"It puts people off coming down."
The three caravans are part of the Haven Caravan Show, which has been on the seafront over the past week.
As reported in the Echo in April, the sponsorship deal between Weymouth and Portland Borough Council and Haven Littlesea Holiday Park is worth £20,000, which includes caravan shows on the seafront as well as branding of tourism leaflets and events brochures.
Dave Price, of the hotel and guesthouse leaseholders association, said: "I do not think it is appropriate having the caravans in that location.
"They do not look very nice and I've had general bad comments about them from guests myself.
"They tend to turn up around bank holidays and stay for a few days or a week, but the council never consults us."
Weymouth and Portland Borough Council defended the decision to rent the land to Haven for the show.
Councillor Mike Goodman, chairman of the management committee, said: "Haven Caravan Show is currently using the borough council's multi-purpose activities and entertainment site next to the Jubilee clock.
"The site has been used for numerous activities, including caravan promotion, for many years and is a very popular venue for events and activities throughout the year.
"Money generated from the site is invested back into the borough events programme, which further stimulates the economy, promotes Weymouth and Portland as a great destination to visit and provides support to community activities."
But Mr Knight said the caravans were "dumped" without prior warning right in front of his hotel.
"We used to have the fairground on our doorstep, which we didn't mind because it was a bit of a novelty.
"Then that was moved down the road and we got the caravans."
He added: "This has been going on for a while now but it's getting a bit too regular.
"It's just another example that the council don't care about tourists or hotel owners.
"We have had a bad time recently and this is just another kick in the chops."
Council decision
A SPOKESWOMAN for Haven said: "We are told by the council where the caravans will be placed along the seafront.
"However, we are sorry if hoteliers feel it is spoiling their guests' views."

Kansas Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan is preparing to discuss Gov. Sam Brownback's proposals to abolish two popular income tax deductions for homeowners and cancel a scheduled decline in the state sales tax.
Jordan scheduled a Friday morning briefing with reporters.
Brownback's plan would eliminate a projected $267 million budget shortfall in the fiscal year that starts July 1 while also allowing future reductions in income tax rates. The state has a budget gap because it cut income taxes aggressively last year.
Brownback wants to eliminate income tax deductions for the property taxes Kansans pay on their homes and the interest charged on their mortgages.
The governor also seeks to keep the sales tax at 6.3 percent instead of letting it to 5.7 percent in July, as state law now requires.

We had an interesting week of committee work, floor work, and lively debate. Monday, in the Committee for Local Government, I presented HB65, which would allow 18 year olds to run for office in 4th class cities.
We had an interesting week of committee work, floor work, and lively debate. Monday, in the Committee for Local Government, I presented HB65, which would allow 18 year olds to run for office in 4th class cities.
Dirk Deaton, from Noel, had the idea for the proposal and was on hand to appear as a witness for the bill. The committee was impressed with his testimony and we expect to hear the outcome of their vote this week. Dirk and his dad did a tour of the Capitol and ended up on the top of the dome! It is really a special treat for me to have visitors come to the Capitol and if you haven't been there, you are really missing a treat.
I heard HB320 Monday afternoon. It deals with providing protection for people who report illegal activity at their place of work. The bill gives a clear description of what an employer must do when there is a report of illegal activity and provides clear language of how an employee is to be treated after making a report. In the past there have been instances of an employee being fired for reporting misconduct and this bill seeks to remedy the problem.
Monday, Feb. 11, I was privileged to meet with Ross Babbitt, Aaron Gent and Jay Mitchell at a reception and dinner sponsored by the Telecommunications Industry Association. They always have a very informative meeting and it sure is helpful to have folks from home there to explain things to us.
Tuesday, Feb. 12 in session, we took up HB256. This piece of legislation deals with drawing a clear line between public safety and public information. There was a concern that things like school disaster response plans might be made public through information disclosures and thus available to those who wish to do harm. We must take care that transparency in government doesn't jeopardize public safety.
On Wednesday I held a public hearing on two Right to Work proposals. These bills were for the most part identical to the bill last week that set an attendance record for a committee hearing. I was pleasantly surprised to see only about 45 people in the hearing room. Once again, all who were present and wished to testify were given the opportunity to speak.
By conducting a fair hearing and allowing everyone to participate, we can get a good understanding of both points of view and this will guide us on whether to pursue the legislation further. In floor action Wednesday, we took up HJR5 and HB48. These bills deal with voter I.D. This subject has always been heavily favored in our part of the state. It really makes good sense to me to require positive identification for exercising our most important right. We had significant opposition from the large metropolitan areas but after 6 hours of debate, the vote heavily favored the proposal. Now we will send it to the Senate where it will undoubtedly face several more grueling hours of debate. I have to give great credit to Senator Richard and the Senate leadership for getting right down to business this year. If we're not careful, they will have stuff ready for us before we send them anything. Working together is always in the best interest of the voters, and both houses seem determined to accomplish this.
Finally, I want to address some rather silly legislation that has been proposed by a couple of St.Louis reps that seem intent on stirring up the mud. HB545 is a goofy proposal that we should have 90 days to turn in our "assault weapons" or to ship them out of Missouri. First, let me explain something. Any one of the 163 Representatives has the right to submit a bill for consideration. Once the bill is turned into the clerk's office, it becomes public information. This allows a rep to "grandstand" an issue if they so please. They so pleased! HB545 is so outrageous that it shouldn't even have been considered news. It was unfortunately spread all over the internet and most all of the reps in the state have spent all weekend answering constituents concerns. This bill will NOT GO ANYWHERE. At least in Missouri. Maybe Illinois, California and Canada. In my humble opinion, we need to spend our time and efforts on enforcing our current laws and working on proposals for better care for the mentally unstable.
This week we will be meeting in sub committee on Child Abuse Reporting and will hear from the department heads about the current methods they use to categorize calls. I also have Transportation and Workforce Hearings so I will have a lot to report next time. Until then, I am and remain, in your service.

There's been talk for years about creating a path, to be used by foot or bicycles, from Andover to Augusta.
There's been talk for years about creating a path, to be used by foot or bicycles, from Andover to Augusta.
Now, a grassroots organization is working in conjunction with several other unities to turn the "Rails to Trails" path into a reality.
The Redbud Trail will follow the old railroad tracks that stretch about eight miles from north Andover to south Augusta. The plan calls for it to be a beautiful paved pathway that will eventually be connected to the Redbud Trail that leads to downtown Wichita.
Anyone interested in volunteering, or getting involved in the organization, is encouraged to call 204-8476 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. The organization also has a Facebook page under "Andover-Augusta RailTrail Initiative."
The project was identified a priority by "Envisioning Andover," a group of community leaders chosen to help Andover remain as progressive and relevant as possible. David Levy, an active cyclist, was part of those sessions and chose to be the organizer and spokesperson for the path project.
"Things like this don't just happen," Levy said. "People have to make it happen."
In April, the grassroots organization met in the Andover Central Park Lodge to discuss the plan and challenges of such a trail. About 30 people were in attendance.
Levy describes the Redbud Trail as a long-term project and is hoping a grant will help fund it, along with private donations and other partnerships. The grassroots organization in working with the City of Andover, the Andover Historical Society, the Prairie Travelers, the Bike/Walk Alliance of Wichita and a handful of other entities.
Among those at the meeting was Ed Lincoln, a longtime trails advocate who lives in Wichita. He's been involved in many Rails to Trails projects that continue to gain popularity across the United States.
"You go out and run on a trail two or three times and it's just magic," Lincoln said. "You can be in the middle of a city, but you're running in wide open spaces – away from the traffic and peaceful. It's just unbelievable."
Supporters of Rails to Trails projects say that not only do they promote fitness and recreation, they also boost a city's economy and historical roots.
"It's a great opportunity for us," Levy said, "and I don't want to see us let it go."

Doubled-haploids hasten barley, wheat development for Northwest farmers
By John O'Connell
Capital Press
The American Malting Barley Association now has only two recommended winter malt barley varieties, drastically limiting the options of growers. But a new cross of those varieties, called 10.0777, may soon provide growers with a powerful new option that offers the best attributes of each.
And thanks to an innovative laboratory shortcut, that hybrid will be available years ahead of the normal breeding timeline. Called doubled haploid technology, it is part of a scientific trend that is bringing new barley and wheat hybrids to market in the Pacific Northwest faster than ever before.
Pat Hayes, a barley breeder at Oregon State University, explained that 10.0777, crossed four years ago, is a doubled haploid. That means it was bred with two identical sets of genes — haploids — to avoid variation among the progeny. The technology fast-forwards breeding by years without introducing foreign genes, as is done with controversial genetically modified organisms.
Hayes said 10.0777, which would still be in development without doubled haploids, is "planted all over the Pacific Northwest and in the AMBA qualifying trial."
Now the method of choice for breeding corn and some other crops, doubled haploid technology has existed for decades but has seen expanded use in recent years. In wheat and barley, public and private breeding programs alike are increasingly contracting with doubled haploid laboratories to speed up their work. Still others are implementing the technology themselves.
Hayes first dabbled in doubled haploids about 25 years ago, using a less efficient method, but abandoned the practice when it didn't pencil out economically. He resumed doubled haploid production in the spring of 2012 with a $10,000 AMBA grant. His laboratory now has contracts to make doubled haploids for seven other barley programs — including Washington State University's and the USDA's Agricultural Research Service in Aberdeen, Idaho — and should become self-sufficient by July. He charges $35 per doubled haploid plant.
How it works
The traditional approach to barley breeding involves fertilizing the egg of one parent plant with the pollen of another and self-pollinating the progeny that best express the desirable characteristics of both.
Genetic variation is cut in half with each subsequent self-pollinated generation. After about five generations, the plants breed true, meaning other gene combinations are mostly gone and progeny consistently have the best attributes of both parents.
After making a cross in his doubled haploid program, Hayes places an anther from the best first-generation plant into a special medium. With a regimen of nutrients and hormones, his medium "tricks" pollen grains from the anther into generating a plant in the absence of an egg. The resulting doubled haploid plants simply replicate the single gene strand in the pollen to produce a second set of identical genes, thereby avoiding the need to breed out variability in subsequent generations.
"We're not messing with the underlying genetic content that's there," Hayes said. "We're just getting new combinations of genes, and they would have occurred naturally if you went through enough cycles of self-pollination."
To date, OSU's internal program has generated 5,200 doubled haploid lines from 320 crosses, both for malting and food barley development, said Assistant Professor Alfonso Cuesta-Marcos. OSU has made 500 other lines for customers.
"Our projection for 2014-2015 is that we will generate approximately 5,000 doubled haploid lines, of which 3,500 will be for the OSU barley breeding program and 1,500 for external customers," Cuesta-Marcos said. "We have not released any (doubled haploid) variety yet, but we have a good set of potential varieties in preliminary yield trials."
Pursuing a new winter barley
Improved methods used to make doubled haploids have reduced the cost of the technology. It's beginning to make economic sense in barley breeding, explained Scott Heisel, AMBA vice president and technical director.
He said the technology has been especially useful in the effort to develop badly needed new winter malt barley varieties. Breeders pursuing spring varieties can plant extra generations in greenhouses or warm winter climates. Shortcuts are limited for winter barleys, which must be exposed to winter growing conditions.
Gonghse Hu, barley breeder at the Aberdeen, Idaho, Agricultural Research Service facility, hired Hayes last October to produce 1,000 doubled haploid families from crosses made in his laboratory. All of them will be 2-row winter malt varieties. When the first doubled haploid plants are sent back to Hu for field trials, he'll seek improved winter hardiness and malting quality.
"For winter barley, doubled haploid can reduce three to four years. That's significant," said Hu, who now utilizes doubled haploids in about 5 percent of his breeding program. He also hopes to expand his use of doubled haploids and to further expedite breeding with genomics — selections based on genetic markers associated with certain traits.
Idaho Barley Commission Administrator Kelly Olson considers the combination of genomic selection and doubled haploids to be "the cutting edge of breeding techniques today."
"In barley we've struggled to keep up because we haven't seen this huge influx of private-sector dollars like we have in corn and soy, and now in wheat," Olson said. "The exciting thing for barley's story is we, too, have the ability to utilize these technologies, and we are — maybe at a smaller scale."
Speeding up wheat breeding
As a research associate and Ph.D. student at Virginia Tech University, Jianli Chen bred doubled haploid wheat through a common method utilizing corn pollen.
Scientists first remove the anthers from a wheat plant resulting from the cross of two desirable parents. Eggs of the emasculated plant are then fertilized with corn pollen, stimulating embryo development. Corn and wheat are too dissimilar for any of the corn genetics to remain throughout embryo development. The developing embryo is then removed and placed in a medium with hormones and nutrients, causing it to continue growing into a plant with a single set of genes. By applying a chemical, scientists cause the plant to make exact duplicates of its chromosomes, creating a doubled haploid plant.
Chen continued utilizing the approach in 2008, after taking a position as wheat breeder with the University of Idaho's Aberdeen Research and Extension Center. One of her initial doubled haploid crosses, the soft white winter wheat IDO 1108, entered regional planting trials in 2012. It has good resistance to the fungal diseases stripe rust and dwarf bunt, good end-use qualities and posts strong yields, Chen said.
"If we had gone through the normal process, this year would be the first year of yield trials," Chen said. "I think we saved three to five years."
Doubled haploid breeding ultimately proved too costly for Chen to continue. She now hires a private company in Kansas, Heartland Plant Innovations, to create her doubled haploids. Chen eventually plans to utilize doubled haploids in at least half of her hard white wheat breeding.
WSU started its doubled haploid wheat breeding laboratory in late 2009 with financial help from the Washington Grain Commission. WSU continues to breed doubled haploid wheat and has made its program self-sufficient by doing paid work for programs at Colorado State University and North Dakota State University. WSU uses genomic analysis to further expedite the breeding process.
WSU wheat breeder Arron Carter said the program now has its first doubled haploid lines in statewide variety testing, with its initial breeding emphasis on plants with multiple genes that offer stripe rust resistance. Though WSU utilizes the corn embryo breeding method, Carter explained his laboratory is working to perfect a process with microspores — making a doubled haploid exclusively from wheat pollen, as Hayes does in his barley lab. In a few years, Carter anticipates microspores will become the preferred method in doubled haploid wheat, as well.
"Most winter wheat breeding programs are starting to look at doubled haploids. If they haven't fully converted, at least they're starting to make a few crosses to evaluate how it will be useful to their program," Carter said.

I could not be more pleased. I got the basil for a big kitchen window and it is just striking. It is very well made and the plume on the print slightly reflects light. I ordered top/down-bottom/up but originally received the blind without this feature. I called customer service and they immediately sent a new blind.

40 is remarkably like 39
Only without the 3 and the 9. There's a 4 and a 0 instead. This was not obvious to me until today. Eleni made me a new friendship bracelet. Bela picked and arranged this bouquet for me. Jeff made me coffee and we spent about an hour together making a new playlist for my ipod which now includes this 30 year old song by Yaz that I love so much (I'm sorry it's so synth-y, I'm old). Roman said "happy birthday to me Mommy". All the kids made a birthday hat for Cash to wear, so it's sorta like Cash said happy birthday right up until he pawed it off and ran away. Then they made me a ginormous banana-nutella smoothie and banana-nutella toast which I choked down with a big smile on my face. Pierrette showed up to work with a 6pack of Stella, pink roses and red velvet cupcakes. In just two years she has gotten to know me really well. Tonight we are going out for burgers with the kids. Then maybe ice cream too.
I love it so far.

What popular songs/bands that are heard on the top 40 today will be listened to and cherished 40-50 years down the road? Who here listens to today's mainstream music and really gets into it and studies it and becomes passionate about it to the point where you could almost or actually cry because of how beautiful it is? Just like I thought...none and nobody...because it's 99% trash.
Have Lil' Wayne, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift produced timeless music that will be listened to, played, and cherished by future generations much like Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, and Lynard Skynard? Will kids in 50 years have Justin Beiber or Bruno Mars or Maroon 5 posters hanging in their bedrooms? The answer to both of these questions in my opinion is no. I would also venture to say that kids in future generations will still be putting up Pink Floyd posters in their rooms and wearing t-shirts. Why? Because music has gone way down hill. I'm not saying that all music in previous generations is timeless, but there was certainly a lot more. Like way more.
Also, I was going over the top 40 just now. It looks like every single band is actually not even an actual band, but rather some person who is the "face" of the band that does the singing and gets all the credit for everything as well as the picture on the cover. Who plays the drums and bass guitar for these artists? Who plays the keyboard? Where are the actual MUSICIANS (you know, the people that actually make these songs work) and why aren't they getting the credit they deserve? I'm willing to bet that most of the artists listed on the top 40 didn't even write their own songs. Sure, maybe they wrote the lyrics (big deal this is music not poetry, words aren't even required) and maybe came up with the melody or so, but did they write eve ry single note for every single instrument to be played? Did they write the transitions and organize it? Highly doubtful. Today's music is much easier to perform, so I'd think that we would be more inclined to give credit to the actual writers for doing the hard part.So why aren't we hearing about the musicians and only seeing the face of the singer? This leads me to my next point.
Why are so many of these "artists" physically attractive? Back in the day, most artists were not your typical hot guy/girl, but now they are today. That seems suspicious to me, because I doubt that somehow over the past 20 years or so that attractive people inherited all the musical talent. Seems like the music industry has figured out that the average listener cares a little more about physical looks than musical talent, which is sad. Ella Fitzgerald is ugly as sin, but she could out sing any of the current female artists today WITHOUT any studio/electronic enhancements to her voice. I doubt she would become famous this day and age.
I realize that there are a lot of indy bands and stuff that we will never hear on the top 40 that are actually pretty good. But it's sad that we have to really dig and search for this stuff on our own. Also, it's annoying cause I can't get away from the mainstream no matter how I try...go to a restaurant/store and there it is. Get in my friends car, there it is. Turn on the TV, there it is. I'm tired of it. It's garbage. End Rant.

Historic season comes to an end with 42-10 defeat
Adrian College supporters called for a black out at Saturday's game, but Franklin College found the power switch anyway. The Grizzlies defeated the Bulldogs 42-10 in the NCAA Division III playoff game at the Multi-sport Performance Stadium.
Franklin rolled up 511 yards of total offense, while limiting Adrian to 225 yards.
Grizzlies coach Mike Leonard said he wasn't surprised by the performance.
"Going back to 1964, all everybody has ever talked about was the offense we play here. It's still called the run-and-shoot, even if we don't run it strictly," he said. "Our defense tends to get overlooked, but it has been outstanding."
Franklin brought a nationally-ranked offense into the game, averaging nearly 42 points per game. However, all season, Adrian (9-2) had a defense that gave up about 11 points per game, and the fan base used the blackout theme for inspiration. However, the Grizzlies didn't let the electric atmosphere in the stadium deter them.
Adrian coach Jim Deere said Franklin (9-2) didn't do anything that wasn't expected, they just did it well. Deere credited Franklin's playoff experience with having a lot to do with the performance.
"They just know how to prepare for the playoffs," he said.
Adrian linebacker Deontae Bridgeman, who had 10 tackles in the game, said the team was confident it could win.
"When we stopped them in the first quarter, we got all excited, though maybe we got a little too happy," he said. "Then when Hunter went down, it was a battle to stay with them."
Junior linebacker Hunter Juntunen suffered a leg injury midway through the first quarter and didn't return. Deere said Wallen Augustin played well, but the team clearly missed Juntunen.
"He is the leader on defense. He makes the calls. When he went down, we just couldn't stay with them," Deere said. "I thought coming out after halftime we could get some momentum going, but we just didn't get it done."
Franklin quarterback Jonny West threw for 303 yards and four touchdown passes — three to Kyle Linville. West was able to spread the wealth around, hitting seven different receivers
For the game, Linville had nine catches for 176 yards. Leonard said there is no secret to the duo's success.
"They've been playing together since high school, so they know each other inside and out," he said. "It was the same high school I went to and I don't usually like to recruit friends' kids, but I'm awfully glad these two came to Franklin."
The game was scoreless after one quarter, but Franklin put four touchdowns on the board in the second, when Adrian scored all of its points. Just before the half, the Grizzlies were up 28-7 and driving for another score, when Bridgeman stepped in front of an intended receiver, picked off a West pass and weaved his way 71 yards to the Franklin 14-yard line. However, the Bulldogs had to settle for a half-ending, 26-yard field goal by Dustin Salliotte to pull to within 28-10.
Adrian got the ball to start the second half, and Deere felt his team could get back in the contest.
"I thought if we could score and hold them down a bit, we had a shot," he said.
The Grizzlies defense clamped down and held the Bulldogs offense in check. One player they were able to keep out of the end zone was Justin Hemm, three-time All-MIAA receiver. In a match-up of two prolific wide receivers, Hemm caught 12 passes for 119 yards.
Adrian managed only 52 yards on the ground, while quarterbacks Taylor Copacia and Aaron Tenney combined to hit 21 of 35 passes for 225 yards. The only Adrian touchdown was a 2-yard run by Kyle Smock, which cut Franklin's lead to 14-7.
"This just shows us that if we work hard next year, we can be back for the playoffs," Bridgeman said. "We're going to be OK."
Bridgeman and Juntunen will be seniors in 2013, and Adrian will have experience and talent up and down the lineup on both sides of the ball. That is something Deere said he will take comfort in, even if he is losing Hemm.
"I told the kids today you are disappointed, but tomorrow you reflect on what you have accomplished," he said.

Philadelphia is the fifth-largest city in the country and has some of the best transportation, activities and medical resources available. A home care aide can really provide the extra help many older adults need in getting out of their home and living active, engaging lives.
Philadelphia has a range of public, shared, and private transportation options. The Philadelphia public transit system, SEPTA, has a wide range throughout the Metro Philly area, with both subway lines and regional rails that stretch over state lines and connect with regional transit systems. For mobility-impaired individuals, however, paratransit is a better option. CCT Connect offers service within ¾ of a mile of local bus routes. Reservations can be made between 1 and 3 days in advance and fares are $4.00 each way. For shorter-distance, more immediate service, Uber is a mobile app that lets users hail a private car within minutes. For this kind of transportation, Uber or local car services are the best way to travel.
Philadelphia has a wide variety of activities for seniors, from great art museums and cultural events to interactive senior centers and exercise classes. Both the Rodin Museum and the Barnes Foundation have world-renowned French art collections. The latter has more Impressionist paintings than anywhere outside of Paris, and both are wheelchair accessible. For music-lovers, the Philadelphia Orchestra plays a wide repertory of classical pieces, from Tchaikovsky to Gershwin. In terms of a more communal experience, Philadelphia's many senior centers have a plethora of activities. Seniors can find bridge games and knitting classes, planned trips to local cultural centers, and discussions about short stories and novels. And for exercise, local YMCAs have Silver Sneakers programs, which have classes, education and social programs for older adults. It's increasingly important to stay active as we age, and whether that means going to cultural events or taking a daily walk, seniors can benefit from a host of options in the greater Philadelphia area.
Medical Resources
As the largest city in the state, Pennsylvania has a number of superb hospitals and public offices dedicated to aging. The second-best hospital in the state is the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania-Penn Presbyterian. Thomas Jefferson University Hospital is also highly rated, the fourth-best hospital in Pennsylvania. Hahnemann University Hospital is a regional standout, and is nationally ranked in nephrology. In addition the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging has their office on N Broad St, and their online link has plenty of health and wellness information for seniors. Regional Medicare and Medicaid administrators are also located in downtown Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is a world-class city, with superb transportation, activities, and medical resources. For those seniors looking to take advantage of home care as they age in place, plenty of opportunities exist throughout the Philadelphia area to stay empowered and engaged.

Below-zero temperatures failed to stop almost 30 bird lovers in Saturdays annual Christmas Bird Count. This was Audubons 113th Christmas Bird Count across the Americas. It started Dec. 14 and will end Saturday.
The purpose is to take a census of local birds for research and conservation, according to Audubon.
Among those volunteers gathered at 8 a.m. at chilly Santa Rita Park was biologist Susan Allerton of the Durango Bird Club. She gave the counting teams their coverage areas and bird lists.
While many of the birds being counted are sighted regularly, she said the volunteers also were looking for any unusual birds.
Perhaps propitiously, a bald eagle flew along the Animas River as the groups were getting their count area maps. It was to be the first of several eagles sighted in the bird count.
While out with her team, Allerton said the group originally planned an earlier date, but the snowstorms caused several volunteers to look at a later date. Even so, the extremely cold temperatures early in the morning were probably keeping some of the birds under cover.
Allertons team included ornithologists Brenda Wright and Coen Dexter of Nucla. The couple, formerly with the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, had helped conduct bird counts earlier this month in Nucla and Pagosa Springs, Dexter said. This was their first time counting birds in the Durango area.
The team drove to areas such as County Road 221 at Colorado Highway 172 and all the way to Ranchos Florida and beyond.
Allerton and her team sighted a number of birds by noon, though fewer than expected because of the temperatures, she said.
About 70-plus different species were sighted by the groups Saturday.
Among the less common birds sighted were the white-winged dove, mourning dove and Barrows Goldeneye, a duck. Some others not seen often but sighted Saturday were the northern shrike, northern pygmy owl and a Merlin, which is a falcon.
More common birds spotted were a thrush called Townsends Solitaire, lots of ravens, Oregon juncos, a horned lark, mallard ducks in flight, red-tailed hawks, a Wilsons Snipe (which encouraged jokes and stories about snipe hunts), pine siskins, downy woodpeckers, chickadees and another bald eagle.
All three on the Allerton team had previously participated as field workers for the Second Colorado Breeding Bird Atlas, sponsored by the Fort Collins Audubon Society and other organizations such as Fort Lewis College.
Wright and Dexter also have led birding trips.
Dexter said the annual Christmas count may tally as little as 1 to 2 percent of the birds in an area, or as much as 20 percent in certain areas.

text: Economic thinking begins with the recognition of scarcity. The limitation of the means for securing the ends that are the purpose of individual or collective action requires choosing among possible means. The ends themselves are limited by the finitude of human aspirations and of life itself. Choosing rationally among ends, as well as among suitable means, requires principles of choice. Economics is the science of those principles.Curated by Samuel Bostaph, this exhibition will trace the formulation of modern economic thought through representative texts drawn from the Rare Book & Manuscript Library's Hollander Economic Library collection.Assembled by Jacob Harry Hollander (1871-1940), Professor of Political Economy at Johns Hopkins University, the Hollander Library is one of the Rare Book & Manuscript Library's great treasures. Containing nearly 4100 books, manuscripts, letters, realia, and portraits, it encompasses the broad sweep of almost 450 years of economic thought.

The 43-year-old Cortez man, who had his second-degree murder conviction vacated in October, had his bond amount set at $100,000 cash on Tuesday morning.
Although a bond hearing, the most dramatic statements of the day was when the the victim's mother asked that Farrell Greenlee be released, believing the shooting death of her daughter was accidental.
"I will do everything I can to help Mr. Farrell out," Opal Stewart said. "In my mind this thing was an accident. I do not think he shot my daughter on purpose."
She also said she supported the 7.5 year plea agreement that Wilson denied back in 2004.
Russell Wasley, district attorney for the 22nd Judicial District, asked District Court Judge Douglas Walker to set Greenlee's bond amount at $250,000 cash after informing the court that case law showed the man was eligible for a bond amount. Wasley pointed out that this is what the bond was set at in 2004.
Greenlee's conviction was vacated due to ineffective counsel at his 2004 trial.
The DA's office has appealed District Judge Jeffrey Wilson's order that Greenlee's sentence be vacated, and no decision is expected anytime soon.
Walker was upset that a pre-sentence report was not done prior to Tuesday's hearing, something he had ordered last week.
Wasley said the case is now old, but the summary and statement of facts of the case have not changed.
He said a young woman was killed, wrapped in a blanket, put in the trunk of a car before the body was put in a refrigerator on an isolated location on the farm of Greenlee's father.
Wasley said the only reason the body was ever found was the cryptic jail-house letter Greenlee sent to his father.
The district attorney said there would be a risk to the community if Greenlee is able to make bail, and added people are in fear of him. He said one witness mentioned during the first trial that there was no doubt his life was in danger.
Wasley said Greenlee allegedly told the witness he "may have popped a snitch" in reference of Marcie Stewart-Jacobson talking to law enforcement about the methamphetamine being used. He also allegedly told the witness to lie and say the victim had left the house in a pickup truck.
"This case arose out of the background of meth," he said, also mentioning two instances where Greenlee failed to appear in court — one on 2001 for disturbing the peace in Denver and a 1998 charge where he was accused of theft in Montezuma County.
"I understand Judge Wilson has vacated the conviction, but I believe there is some value to that finding," Wasley said.
He said Wilson's order mentioned that the defense was far superior than the prosecution in the first trial, but Greenlee was still convicted.
"Given all that, Mr. Greenlee has a lot to lose, and because of that, he is a flight risk," he said.
Wasley said if Greenlee is able to make bond the stipulations should include call-ins to pre-trial services twice a day, drug testing, an active GPS monitor and the order to stay away from the 13 people on the protection list.
However Stewart, the mother of the victim, and Mari Wareham, who was Greenlee's girlfriend at the time of the shooting, said they did not fear Greenlee and asked their names be removed from the list, which Walker granted.
Calinda (Forristall) Hackett was added to the protection list.
Greenlee's attorney, Tom Williamson said the facts of the case are not necessarily correct because there is no evidence to support the shooting of Stewart-Jacobson was intentional.
He also said it is rare for a judge to vacate a conviction due to ineffective counsel, and not only did defense attorneys not call a witness to rebut the testimony of a prosecution witness, the pathologist who testified at the trial has since changed his opinion.
"This wasn't a fair trial," he said, adding that Greenlee and his family lived most their lives in the Cortez area.
Williamson also told Walker that Greenlee is not the same person he was in 2004 when his client was considered a junkie.
Greenlee's mother sat in the front row of the gallery next to the victim's mother, while Greenlee's father sat in the back row. About 25 people attended. Greenlee's attorney said the mother has agreed to allow him to stay with her if he makes bail.
"Mr. Greenlee has every intention to make the bond work," he said. The alleged death threats, he said, occurred nine years ago during trial while Greenlee was in jail.
Wasley conceded the alleged death threat calls to convince people to not testify in the first trial were not made by Greenlee but does not know who made the calls .
Greenlee also addressed the court. He said that he has been off drugs for nine years and is now a completely different person.
"I will do whatever it takes," he added and asked Walker to not set the bond so high that it would be unattainable.
Walker, in setting the bond amount, said Greenlee has a lot to lose at a potential future trial and a lot to lose if he skipped bail, which would cost his family the bail money.
"The allegations are very serious — death of a human being, drug use and the hiding of a body," Walker said.
If Greenlee makes bail, he will be drug tested up to three times a week, have an active GPS monitor and not be allowed to possess a firearm.
Walker said he might consider a property bond in the future provided he receive information on the property that would be used, including an appraisal, equity and other liens.
Walker said he would set another hearing to discuss changing the cash bond to a property bond if this was requested by the defense.

Here are some great books on classic cartoons. I put them roughly in order of the periods.
Maltin's book is a great overview of all the studios. You can tell he really loves his subject. He gives you a good feel of what was going on at all the various Golden Age studios.
Wait'll you read the ugly true life story!
This is a really interesting book about that genius-jack-of-all-trades, Ubbe Iwerks. It also has great stories about the many stars that worked with him, including Grim Natwick, Irv Spence, Bob and Chuck, Shamus and more.
A warm look at the Looney Tunes Studio from someone who was there. It's refreshingly absent of politics and critical opinions. Martha gives you the feeling that it was a really fun place to work and all the people were great. Makes you wish there was a funny cartoon studio today.
Chuck Jones wrote an autobiography...twice! The first one has more original drawings from the actual cartoons. By the middle of the first one, he got the idea to trace over his old drawings to update them to his more modern angular style, and by the second book, almost all the drawings were updated retracings of the old ones. So get the first if you like the original drawings of the characters from the 40s and 50s.
Strangely, after writing the same book twice, he forgot both times to talk about his cohort and biggest influence - Bob Clampett. Thank God that there are Blogs to fill in the gaps!
Great interviews with Tex and Mike Maltese too.
Post-Classic Cartoons
The original Preston Blair book is the best "how to" animation book ever written. Beware of the million imposters!
This is where I first found a complete list - in order of every Yogi Bear cartoon! I know you all need that.
David Gerstein put out a great compilation of Otto Messmer's Felix The Cat comics from the early 30s.
Now curiously, where is a book on Clampett?
