My wife and son Judy and Armando Bucciarelli run a fantastic Butcher and Deli Shop. Best meats, chicken, cold cuts and side dishes found anywhere. Also a new Salad Bar. As for catering (forget about it) no catering is to small or large. Judy will work with you to get the exact order to fill your needs and help to stay within your budget. They bring back the old type family owned business. Their team is well trained and know that the customer comes 1st.
I must say they have help many people at different times. One example that stands out high is when Salisbury and surrounding towns had a 3 day lost of power. Judy and Armando and some friends gave away more than $50k worth of Meats, Chicken and take out meals to the State Police, Newburyport police and a homeless shelter. There are many more that I won't mention because I choose not to use there names.
In closing they do things to help their community that they like to stay under the radar.

I'm certainly aware that there are many more programs available, but these are the one's I am focusing on right now. I also use Reunion for the Macintosh I am not aware of any upgrades to the program.
I've mentioned before that I do not do software reviews. I made that choice years ago. The real reason that I do not do software reviews is because I like all of the programs. I have almost all of these programs on my computer right now and I try to keep up with their features and changes so that I can teach the programs when necessary and help people with technical support. The new one in the list that I've not yet tried is the Behold program. During the next few weeks I hope to get into each of these programs again to see what changes have been made and new features added.

i love how you just slipped that in at the end...can we have more on the art teaching tomorrow please? i'm sure there's a blog post in it.
ps. yarn yarn yarn...i love that word. i'm sure i've asked this before but is yarn a general term for wool, cotton etc?

ahh what a wise question my dear Fran...i have learnt to use the word 'yarn' whilst living in the US because it seems to be a generic term, just the way we use 'wool' as a generic term in the UK...i would wander in to yarn shops and ask about the wool and i always got 100% wool so in the end i discovered that i needed to use the word 'yarn' and if it is wool i am after than i say 'wool yarn'..you see i have learnt so many things moving to another country. like for example i must say 'vacuming' rather 'hoovering' as 'hoover' is the brand name and people would look at me like i was a bit deranged when i said "oh yes, just doing a bit of hoovering"...at least i like to think it was that and not just because they thought i was strange looking with an accent to boot :)

As attractive a knitted dish cloths is I have HUGE issues with them....
However I would use one to put Harry's water bowl on.
The 'yarn' is however gorgeous....
My husband says the only time our house is tidy is either if we have visitors or the house is for sale...

Wow, I love the colours, isn't it great that we live in a world where you can knit yourself a stylish eco-friendly dishcloth!
I also lived in the US, but at the time I wasn't a knitter...I still use the word yarn, there must be some yank left in me I guess x

I love your eco-friendly disclothes and am jealous that I don't knit. I have one cloth knitted by a dear friend as she was (gulp) dying and I haven't been able to bring myself to use it. My suggestion is to give more than one as a gift or it might be viewed as "too good to use" (especially if you die and can't knit any more).
- October 25, 2007 at 3:09 PM
- dottie angel said...
good point Diane, i decided that one knitted dishcloth is not enough that's why i thought i would combine it with a tea towel...
your point is also a very good one to raise...when my grandmother died it meant so much to be surrounded by her art, her memory lives on in her pictures that she created and a knitted dishcloth is much the same...i believe any knitted item given, is knitted 'love', because who ever knitted it for you was thinking of you at the time...thanks for sharing your thoughts with me :)

What beautiful colors! Love the Little House reference too, I often think (HOW did she do it all?) I think that show makes me a little crazy, raises my expectations of myself too high. Sewing all the clothes, cooking from scratch, farming, raising kids and all the while being the most cheery woman ever? I need to remind myself that it is a fictional show!

well, i, for one, think your dishclothes are fabulous and would be thrilled if any member of my family presented me with such a thoughtfully lovely gift : )

When I clean my house, the dog starts pacing around and looking at the front door expectantly... when will they be here? she thinks.
- October 26, 2007 at 1:33 AM
That cracked me up about the canceled appointment - and then saying thankyou. I do this ALL the time and feel such an idiot. Such a Brit trait.
Oh and by the way I say 'yarn' now not wool because of reading all the American blogs...I have to be careful saying it to the lady in the market or I get a strange look!
Perhaps I should reclaim the generic 'wool'. Funny how we are influenced.....

- Jane said...
actually I can't believe that I read this post and thought "knitted dishcloths - what a good idea" - I have now come to my senses and shall not be following you, beautiful as they are - perhaps a face cloth or two. . .
I am also mistaken by schools, brownie groups etc as an arty person. They are always very, very disappointed when I turn up and can't draw.
Finally got around to packing up the bordery thing so it will go in the post on Monday.

This gave me the idea of a mug that would be a frozen winter scene, then when hot water (from an Aslan teapot would be an extra bonus) was poured in, it would shift into a spring scene of Narnia.
I would also love a wardrobe filled with fut coats that leads into Narnia, but I think that's a little less likely to happen.
So, what are your ideas?

Washington (CNN) -- Before Tuesday night's debate, polls showed Mitt Romney had gained ground with women voters.
But his comments about using "whole binders full of women" as a hiring aid while governor, whiffing on an equal pay law question, and alluding to helping women get home to cook dinner has landed the GOP presidential hopeful in verbal quicksand with some female voters.
He'll have to do some serious repair to regain traction, political experts say.
Online erupts over 'Binders full of women'
That's because Tuesday night's debate made clear that both presidential campaigns are focusing on female voters — a group that makes up the majority of the electorate.
Some of the spiciest exchanges between the candidates in their second debate were over so-called "women's issues."
"Romney's discussion of his promotion of women in his gubernatorial administration was ... problematic," said Andra Gillespie, an associate professor of political science at Emory University in Atlanta. "First, Romney's description of how he found female appointees sounded an awful lot like affirmative action, and someone will bring this up again.
Accusations, interruptions define bruising debate
Also, the Twitterverse exploded with links to articles about how Bain Capital under Romney's leadership didn't have a female partner."
The highest-ranking woman in his gubernatorial administration was his No. 2, Lieutenant Gov. Kerry Healey. Beth Myers has long held senior positions in Romney's political campaign.
President Barack Obama was quick to use the "binders" line against Romney on the campaign trail Wednesday.
"We don't have to collect a bunch of binders to find qualified, talented, driven young women ready to learn and teach in these fields right now," Obama told supporters in Mount Vernon, Iowa.
Vice President Joe Biden at a campaign event Wednesday in Greeley, Colorado, questioned where Romney's comments were coming from.
"What I can't understand is how he has gotten in this sort of 1950s time warp in terms of women," he said.
Romney responded on Twitter: @MittRomney "I understand the challenges women face and want to make it easier for them in the workplace."
'Romney just can't connect with working women'
During the debate at Hofstra University in New York, Romney, who worked in business before serving as governor of Massachusetts, said he "learned a great deal" about the inequalities between men and women in the workplace when leading his state.
When he and his staff ran into problems finding qualified female applicants to fill cabinet posts, Romney said he "went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks,' and they brought us whole binders full of women."
Undecided women voters who were watching the debate and participating in a focus group in Ohio reacted positively to Romney's anecdote during dial-testing for CNN. The responses from the women jumped sharply on-screen when Romney spoke about workplace flexibility.
The tweets, posts and pictures quickly exploded on the internet.
Before the debate ended, there were Twitter hashtags and handles, a series of memes on Tumblr, and a Facebook page with over 100,000 fans. The "binders full of women" phrase was the third-fastest rising search on Google during the debate.
Romney's comments 'extremely offensive to women'
Not to be outdone or out-messaged, the Romney campaign put out an ad as the debate wrapped up, clarifying the GOP nominee's support for contraception and belief that in some cases abortion should be legal.
But there is a lingering perception behind the comedic Internet takes on Romney's "binders full of women" response and pre-emptive advertising aimed at women that he is disconnected from the day-to-day issues facing that critical group of voters. And in a close election, that type of narrative could be a problem for Romney as he fights to woo a narrow pool of voters.
5 things we learned from the debate
"The gap between Obama and Romney was declining and I'm not sure ... if the governor made significant headway (with women voters)," said Meena Bose, director of the Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency at Hofstra.
A USA Today/Gallup poll conducted last week showed Romney had closed the gap with women and was within one point among women who are likely voters, 48% for Romney and 49% for Obama.
Throughout the debate, Obama and Democrats sought to reverse that trend and widen that gap.
Obama tried to draw a distinction between himself and Romney on a number of women's issues, tying equal pay, contraceptives and health care to the economy.
Obama said his administration's Affordable Care Act gives insured women free contraception coverage and asserted that Romney "feels comfortable having politicians in Washington decide the health care choices that women are making."
Romney reacts to frenzy over 'binders' comment
Romney pushed back, calling the president's statement "completely and totally wrong." While not opposing the availability of contraception, Romney opposes the contraception rule, arguing it forces some religious institutions to go against their faith.
After the debate, Democratic pundits criticized Romney's efforts to hire women.
"What it demonstrates here and why these debates are important because they're a window into what people are really thinking and how they operate," former Clinton adviser and Democratic analyst Richard Socarides said on CNN's Early Start. "Here's a situation where, you know, it should have been readily apparent to anyone that there were plenty of qualified women but they had to make this special effort."
Socarides gave Romney points for trying to hire women but said in doing so, "Romney demonstrates that he's living in another world." "Qualified women should be apparent to everyone," added Socarides.
He said he didn't understand why Romney "has to go out and make this special effort to find women."
And though Romney sought to highlight his support of flexible work schedules for women, his reference to women who need such schedules to race home to make dinner for their families may have ruffled some female voters the wrong way.
Opinion: Romney's empty 'binders full of women'
"His discussion of work-life balance appeared condescending to some because of the reference to women cooking dinner," Gillespie said.
Romney will now have to rebuff the Obama campaign's attempts to define him as someone who is anti-woman, political experts say.
Romney campaign surrogate Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, said one reason more women may be looking to vote for Romney is because of his economic message.
"The Number One issue with women is jobs and the economy," Blackburn said on CNN's Early Start recently.
The former governor will have to do more of this type of messaging if he wants to sway this group, Bose said.
Romney, she said, will have to hammer home the message "what's good for women is good for the country."

" We live in Houston, Texas and are visiting our daughter and her family in Lawrence, KS. The 'check engine' light in our 2007 Toyota Tundra came on when we were about 200 miles from Lawrence. I dropped it off at Crown Toyota and they fixed it up for us - it turned out to be a very minor problem. Service Department was outstanding. When we returned to pick up the truck, my wife and I decided to take a look at the 2020 Tundras and Highlanders to get a feel for what we would like when we were finally ready to replace our Tundra. Myk Barta, in his relaxed and low-pressure manner, patiently took us through the choices. We were impressed with Myk and Crown Toyota in general and decided to give them a chance to find exactly what we were looking for and make us a fair deal. Two days later we drove off in our new 2020 Highlander Hybrid and we're very happy. I would highly recommend Myk Barta and Crown Toyota. Myk made the new car buying experience pleasant. "
" If you get tired of the big city hassle, take a little drive to this place just west of Kansas City and you won't be disappointed!! I highly recommend salesman Myk Barta and for wrapping up the deal ask for Chase Johnson. These are a couple local guys that will treat you like a neighbor!! I will be moving out of state soon and may just road trip 16 hrs to purchase my next from these guys!!! "
" I got exactly the car I wanted at a great price. Their service center made sure that everything was perfect and like new. They continue to do fantastic maintenance service on my car! "
" Myk Barta was excellent! He took the time to evaluate our needs with us and help us come up with what worked best for our family and price range. Great Experience! "
" Had a great experience at Crown Toyota. Pete was great and everything was easy and efficient. Will certainly use them again when in the market for another Toyota. "
" You know that great feeling you feel when you get exactly what you want just how you want it?! Pete James went above and beyond to make sure I got exactly what I wanted, Dallas Summers made me confident in knowing I had the correct financing, and Jake Sacks went out of his way to check in on me and make sure his team did everything they could to ensure buying the truck of my dreams was an easy and professional experience. I left Crown Toyota yesterday feeling that great feeling. I honestly cannot say enough about the relaxed experience I had at Crown Toyota, so a huge thanks to Jake Sacks, Dallas Summers, and Pete James for making my dreams come true. "
" Great experience with David Wilson from the time we walked in the door to the time we were given a COVID 19 "hand shake" after the sale. Very professional and courteous during the entire sales cycle. We will definitely check back with David when it is time for our next new car! "
" My husband and I bought our first car through them a little over a week ago and we loved the experience!! Charlie Ross was our dealer and he was a great great man!!!! He explained everything even when e started to feel a little overwhelmed he helped break everything down and made it so stress free and hassle free and if you want to get a great car and a great experience he is the man to see!!!! Thank you so much for the whole experience!!!! "
" Matt R., Toyota Service Advisor, went above and beyond for getting my 2020 Toyota Corolla fixed right. He gave total TQM service. The air conditioning system was not cooling. Matt had his mechanic pin point the problem. He was able to get me get a car to use , while I waited for the news about my car. It was the condenser coil and Matt called to tell me the bad news. My car Insurance company wanted rebuilt part for my new car. American Family did make it right, so Matt did. He contacted his upper management people. Toyota paid for all of it! Thank you Matt, Crown Toyota, and Toyota! This why I am part of the Toyota family. "
" Recently purchased a 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport from Crown Toyota in Lawrence. After my truck broke down Discovered them after researching available inventory across several different dealerships. Simple and straightforward, the buying process was what car buying should be for consumers making such a large investment. After arriving at the dealership the following day, my new vehicle was already tagged and ready for me to drive home. Terry wrapped up the purchase and got me the best deal Imaginable "
" Monday, June 8, 2020 To Whom It May Concern: It gives me great pleasure to write this recommendation for Tristan Bland of Crown Toyota in Lawrence, Kansas. I have just purchased my 5th car from this dealership and 4th from Tristan. I can assure you that the days of car salesman jokes and horrific experiences buying a new car are over. At least, at Crown Toyota and with Tristan as your advocate, those days are certainly a thing of the past. I called Tristan to ask if he had anything that fit my needs. He asked for specifics and called me back within the hour. He had all his options as well as one car that he handpicked for me. He nailed it because he takes the time to know his customers. He knows that relationship is what is important, not to sell one car, but to have repeat buyers. His patience is unending. Mine was not. It is very difficult for my husband to make a decision even when he knows what he wants to do. When I had waited long enough for something that I know we wanted, Tristan knew exactly how to help my husband take action. We were in the dealership from 9-12 and then from 2-7 (closing time). Tristan gave us all his attention and gave us many options. He was patient beyond words. I also must comment on Tristan's knowledge and expertise in cars and the entire car buying process. He left no stone unturned and also helped us to learn about other cars that were not Toyotas. He showed no bias, just explained the differences between the equipment and the cars and discussed with us what would be the best fit. I would like to say that Tristan saved his "extra special" treatment just for us but I know that not to be true. Many of my friends have gone to him and the results and reactions have been the same. His desk is lined with trophies that he has received through the 15 years he has worked at Crown Toyota. Each one, I am sure, is well deserved. For anyone who is intimidated about buying a new car, Tristan will be someone you can trust with pros and cons and make your experience even quite enjoyable! Return customer for years and for years to come, Shelley Rissien "
" Over the last several years I've worked with Charlie Ross at Crown to purchase three vehicles and lease another. I chose Crown because I like Toyotas and it was the nearest dealership to me at the time. Now I live an hour away but still drove to Lawrence to work with Charlie to purchase my latest. He's attentive, honest, cares about your experience and satisfaction, and communicates before, during, and after the sale to provide an amazing customer experience. I hope when I need to buy my next car that I can work with Charlie Ross again to get it. "
" Awesome service. The staff was very personable! This was my first car purchase and they made it a great experience. Tristan helped me find a great car for a great price. "
" I have been a Toyota owner since 1997. Crown Toyota in Lawrence is an hour from where I live but after talking with Nile, I found him to be very friendly and helpful so I made the drive to see what he had for me to look at. He did not pressure me to purchase and helped find the perfect replacement for me. I traded in my 16-year-old Highlander for a 2017 Highlander. "
" I just recently bought my very first NEW car from Terry at Crown- and am absolutely thrilled with it. I also can't say enough good about my very positive experience with Terry, Chase and the entire team there. Frankly, this was not an easy sale, but they were all incredibly patient and gracious as I waffled and re-hashed options over severalmonths. Just as we were making a final choice, the coronavirus hit, and we had to table the whole process for a few more months. Once I was able to resume work, we resumed the buying process as well, and it was indeed seamless. We were never pressured and we were treated 'like family' every step of the way. Truly- I so appreciated Terry, his gracious patience, and his helpful and kind nature. BEST car acquisition of my life! "
" Bill and I were very pleased with our car-buying experience with Amy Beasley. We bought a new Hybrid Highlander and she did a great job of working with us. "
" Great dealership with great professional salespeople. They do business the right way and keep their word. I would highly recommend them. "
A positive experience
" I bought a 2020 RAV4 from Crown Subaru in May 2020. Sales consultant Gabby McGann provided excellent online service, expertly responding to my requests for information about various cars. She hung in there with me for a couple weeks, never putting pressure on me, always being the ultimate, helpful, knowledgeable professional. She also pointed out the specials and incentives that would help me get the best deal possible. Sales consultant Van Thompson helped close the deal when I went in to test drive cars and Gabby was in training. Van also expertly explained to me everything I needed to know about the car I purchased and answered my many questions. General Manager Jacob Sacks helped craft a great deal that I am very happy with. Business Manager Dallas Summers was efficient with his paper work and I was able to drive the car off the lot the same day of purchase. Every interaction was one of respect and professionalism. I highly recommend Crown Automotive for your next vehicle purchase. "

" If you are looking for a Toyota this is the place to go. We have bought two new vehicles from them in the past year. No muss, no fuss. They seem to be able to come up with whatever you want, unlike some other dealers we visited. Other dealers will sell you what's on their lot and that's it. And at Crown, if you can get Nile Hamer you will be in good hands. He knows his stuff. "
" Terry was excellent to work with.He was very knowledgeable and helpful.I enjoyed the experience with Crown Toyota and Terry.I would highly recommend them. "
" Bought a 2020 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 from crown Toyota. Decent customer service good sales man Mr. Barta. "
" I really appreciate Myk Barta's help in my purchase of a Toyota. The buying process is seamless and the service is professional. I would definitely like to recommend my friends and relatives to this dealership. Thank you Crown Toyota. "
" Bought a 2017 Nissan Rogue SL from this dealership; Pete James really did a good job of setting the car up for a test drive on short notice and making the actual purchase process comfortable. He and Kristen Efurd gave some really helpful answers over email in the days after the sale, and I also had good interactions with a gentleman from the finance department whose name I did not catch but who helped get me a better rate from the same credit union I had been working with before. Thank you to everyone at Crown Toyota Volkswagen! "
" Went to to begin the process of getting into another lease since my current was coming to an end. Had no intentions on getting into a new car that day, but couldn't pass up what Zack Krishtalka (sales consultant) was offering. He listened to what I needed and wanted and was able to make a deal. Great fast service, and overall a fantastic experience and would recommend everyone to go check them out if you are in the market or just looking. Will be back for sure. "
" I had the best car buying experience ever when I purchased a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze from Chris Cantwell! Chris provided a first-rate experience, he was professional and polite, he listened to me, he was very attentive to my needs, he was well-versed, and I didn't feel pressured or rushed. He made followup calls to make sure everything was okay with the car and my family was pleased with the vehicle selection. He offered me a warm beverage and even a snack from his desk! Chris Cantwell went above and beyond in customer service and overall dealership experience. He is truly an asset to Crown Toyota of Lawrence! If you ever need a car in the future I highly recommend you ask for Chris Cantwell. The entire buying process and the staff at Crown Toyota of Lawrence were all very pleasurable; I recommend this dealership. It is the best dealership I have found in the state of Kansas. "
" I had a great car buying experience (that doesn't happen often).. I purchased a used Tundra. I could see that they already had the car reasonably priced, and were transparent regarding their pricing when I asked further details. Chris Cantwell was my consultant and was very knowledgeable and helpful even though he was new to the dealership. I will definitely return to Crown Toyota of Lawrence for my future car buying needs. Thanks Chris! "
" Was looking to get the best deal I could find on a 2019 Jetta R Line as part of the model year end closeout sale. Happy to say that Jadyn Anderson was able to get me into not just a great vehicle, but an upgraded vehicle at the exact price point that I could pay. I never imagined I'd score such a great deal on a new car. Transaction was easy, no hassle from anyone about upsells, warranties, etc.; just a clean and quick transaction. Big thanks to Jadyn for her work and making the deal really easy to complete. It was worth the drive to Lawrence from the KC metro to get this deal. "
" My family and I have been doing business with Crown Toyota for over 20 years. We recently bought a used Sienna and couldn't be happier. Tristan, Zac and Randy always take great care of us. I always recommend them to people looking for a new or good preowned Toyota. "
" I bought my used 2014 F-150 from here a few months ago. I payed in cash and they had no problem with that. They were flexible with the price and I got a fair deal. I was impressed as well with their thorough vehicle Inspection process and the friendliness of my sales rep. I was unimpressed with the manners of the man who seemed to be the manager on the floor. Each time that I had an interaction with him, he was cold and borderline rude with his responses. I was also told on the day that I purchased my truck that "it should only be a few minutes and we'll get right to you.". I waited on the financial department for 3.5 hours. Overall I got a great truck for a great price. I wish that they sold more used fords though! "
" I bought my used 2014 F-150 from here a few months ago. I payed in cash and they had no problem with that. They were flexible with the price and I got a fair deal. I was impressed as well with... more "
" Bought a vehicle from them on Valentine's Day. My salesman was David Stewart and I cannot recommend him enough! This was my first time buying from an actual dealer and he and the entire crown staff made the process easy and stress free. This is the BEST place to buy a car from! They are fair, kind, and you couldn't find a better place or cars for the prices. "
" Recently bought a Toyota RAV4 XSE from Justin at this location. Super nice guy. Low pressure, which we appreciated! The experience was much better than anticipated. He even took the time to show... more "

California University of Pennsylvania objects to town's alcohol fee
New ordinance charges a fee when alcohol is served at Convocation Center
Officials with state-owned California University of Pennsylvania are objecting to a new borough ordinance that would charge the school a fee whenever alcohol is served at the school's new Convocation Center.
California Borough Council approved the measure Nov. 1; it would charge California University of Pennsylvania at least $750 per event, and up to $3,750 for sold-out shows in the 6,000 seat arena.
The school's vice president for marketing and university relations, Craig Butzine, says the ordinance is unnecessary and illegal. State law prohibits municipalities from adopting laws that target individual businesses or entities.
The borough's mayor didn't immediately return a call for comment Thursday.
The Observer-Reporter of Washington, Pa. (http://bit.ly/YQC5T7 ) reports school officials contend local zoning allows for alcohol sale on school grounds, so any additional regulations are illegal.

Diamond interchange may become reality on Brown Deer Road
Roundabouts are becoming more and more common, but what about diamonds?
The new traffic idea is part of a long-term solution to aging roads in Milwaukee County.
At first glance, what's called a double cross-over diamond interchange at Interstate 43 and Brown Deer Road is a little confusing.
If approved over the next few years, it would be brand new to Wisconsin and part of a 14-mile overhaul on Interstate 43.
This is how it would work: When drivers on the right-hand side of Brown Deer Road approach the overpass, they would stay on the right side of the road, but if there's a diverging diamond., the drivers would cross onto the left side and then back to the right.
Brian DeNeve, with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, said more than a dozen states are already using diamonds.
He said Brown Deer Road would be a perfect spot because the area has enough space for new ramps and sees heavy volume.
"It does need a new interchange, mainly because this entire stretch of road was done 50 years ago," DeNeve said.
DeNeve also said the diamond is safer and allows for more free flow traffic.
The DOT is hoping even more drivers see their vision of the future.

SEATTLE – The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Survivorship Program offers information and resources to cancer survivors determined to get the New Year off to a healthy start.
There are 12 million survivors in the United States, and while it's good news that their numbers are growing, not all are problem-free. Many have long-term health needs resulting from having cancer and being treated for it.
Karen Syrjala, Ph.D., director of Biobehavioral Sciences and co-director of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Survivorship Program, suggests these New Year's resolutions for survivors who want to lead healthier lives:
- "I resolve to get a personal doctor." If you don't have a primary care provider, now is the time to find one. As a survivor you have special needs for someone who monitors your overall health, including cholesterol and heart health, diabetes risks, second cancers, bone health, and other areas of health and wellness that keep survivors thriving.
- "I resolve to plan for my long-term survivorship care." Get a summary of your surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy doses to communicate to your primary care provider. Survivorship programs such as the one at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center can help you create a personalized plan for follow-up care to share with your doctor. Talk with your primary care doctor about potential long-term effects of your cancer treatment and how you'll watch out for your individual risks.
- "I resolve to get moving." Physical activity is the clearest step you can take to benefit your health. It is certain to make you feel better and help your body and brain to function better. It can even reduce your cancer-related risks. Make opportunities to walk or take stairs. Move more during the day, even if it's a 5 or 10 minute break 3 times a day to walk up a few flights of stairs. Build muscles to build energy and reduce fatigue. Join an exercise program for cancer survivors to get you started if it's just too hard to do alone. Check with your local Y to see if they have a program for cancer survivors.
- "I resolve to learn about and practice healthy nutrition." Eating lots of fruit and vegetables is the goal. Whole foods are better than supplements. Focus on eating more of what your body needs (fruits and vegetables) and less on trying not to eat certain foods. Find out what supplements are good for you and which to avoid. Look online, attend a nutrition workshop for cancer survivors or schedule an appointment with a nutritionist if you are unsure what is healthy for you or have digestion problems.
- "I resolve to manage my fear of cancer recurrence." First, find out your risk of recurrence from your health care provider. Second, remember that risk is based on averages and does not apply to you as an individual. Third, consider counseling to help you face your fears and move forward.
- "I resolve to attend to my body's needs." To help ensure your long-term survival and a better quality of life, don't smoke, limit alcoholic drinks to one per day, and use sunscreen to protect your skin. Make sure you get sufficient vitamin D.
- "I resolve to manage symptoms." Don't suffer unnecessarily. Talk to your doctor if you have fatigue or lack of stamina that does not improve with time; chemo brain, or mental fog, that makes it hard to work or remember what you need to do; pain, neuropathy (numbness or pain in your feet hands or elsewhere) or other aches or symptoms that make it hard to enjoy your life. Make an appointment to focus solely on the symptoms that reduce your quality of life. If you have lymphedema or other difficulty moving your body, now might be the time to see a physical therapist.
- "I resolve to connect with other survivors." Your family and friends are great support pillars. However, many find it valuable to talk or exercise with others who have experienced cancer and truly understand what it's like to be a survivor. Look for resources in your community and online.
- "I resolve to read 'Facing Forward: Life After Cancer Treatment.'" This is a free booklet from the National Cancer Institute that lists services to help you live a healthy, happy life after cancer. If you don't have one from your treatment provider, call the NCI at 800-4-CANCER (422-6237).
- "I resolve to learn more about a cancer survivorship program in my community." In the Northwest region, visit the website of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Survivorship Program at www.fhcrc.org/survivorship.

'La Tartine Gourmande': blogger Béatrice Peltre shares her favourite recipes, food memories and infectious love of clafoutis
Spring is the perfect time to cook from Béatrice Peltre's cookbook 'La Tartine Gourmande: Recipes for an Inspired Life' (Roost Books, 2012). Her French-influenced recipes and stories are fresh and colourful, and wonderfully presented. Peltre, originally from France and now living in Boston, Massachusetts with her husband Philip and daughter Lulu, has an approachable attitude towards food and cooking. As a food stylist, photographer and 2011 SAVEUR Best Food Blog Award-winning blogger, Peltre has honed the craft of presenting accessible recipes to her readers, accompanied by inspiring photos and personal stories.
"My blog [LaTartineGournamde.com] has always been a motor for everything I do. When I started in 2005, I really didn't have any intentions," she says. "But the support I received from my readers, and the fact that I was getting so much positive feedback, people wanting more of the specific stories that I was writing, really helped me to define the voice that the book has as well as the blog. And actually, what I really wanted to do is translate what you find on the blog, into a book."
Friends and family are central to Peltre's tales about food in both her cookbook and on her blog. In the introduction to her book, she goes back to the beginning of her love of food in the countryside in northeastern France: her 'obsession' with family gardens, collecting eggs at her grandmother's house and learning to cook by her mother's side. "I didn't understand it until much later but it's why I'm such a food-obsessed person," she says. "We talked about food all the time and to this day, when I call my mother in France, we're going to end up at some point in our conversation talking about something food-related. Whether it's a vegetable she's growing, whether she's been to a restaurant, what meal she's been making that day. It's always been very present in our lives."
Cooking and travel now go hand in hand for Peltre. She has a travel kit of cooking essentials that she never leaves home without. "People laugh about it but nobody complains once I'm there. They always say, 'You're crazy! Why are you taking your vegetable grater?' Well, you never know, you know," she says, laughing. "And I end up making good use of it!" Her kit includes a set of collapsible measuring cups, a vegetable grater, a vegetable peeler, a set of silicone baking cups, ring molds if she's planning to bake more elaborate cakes and gluten-free flours if she's going somewhere they may not be readily available. One occasional item speaks to her dedication – a juicer. "It was great," she says. "I remember being in a hotel making carrot juice and thinking, 'I love this! I have my carrot juice on site!'"
Peltre's travels to countries such as Italy, Australia and New Zealand, and her love of different cuisines and flavours have greatly influenced the kinds of dishes she cooks and recipes she develops. "I'm pretty sure to this day, my mother has never cooked with coconut milk," she says. "I love coconut milk, lemongrass, ginger… and that shows me that I learned by her side but I evolved as a cook because I've been exposed to many different things."
Twists on traditional favourites are evident throughout 'La Tartine Gourmande.' "I love to take the idea of a very traditional French recipe, maybe even something I loved as a kid, and change it," Peltre says. "There's a recipe in my cookbook for 'hachis parmentier,' which is basically the equivalent of shepherd's pie. So you have mashed potatoes and leftover ground meat, and my own version has coconut milk and chicken in it instead, which has been cooked with ginger and other flavours that you would never find in a traditional 'hachis parmentier.'"
Vegetables and fruit are the stars in 'La Tartine Gourmande,' with seafood, poultry and prosciutto making appearances in several dishes. "I eat meat now but I used to be a vegetarian for eight or ten years, and I think it shows in the kinds of ingredients that I choose because [the book is] heavy on vegetables and fruit and grains," Peltre says. "That's something I know well because I cooked for a big chunk of my adult life without meat. So I have my favourite ingredients that I use over and over."
Peltre's recipes use gluten-free flours such as millet and quinoa but she doesn't identify the cookbook as being simply 'gluten-free.' "I don't think, 'I cook gluten-free first.' I focus on celebrating food every day with beautiful things and they happen to be gluten-free," she says. Several of the recipes offer substitutions for all-purpose flour to accommodate what people are most likely to have in their pantries. For example, the French classic custard-like dessert, clafoutis (pronounced kla-foo-TEE), is presented in both savoury and sweet varieties with the sweet 'Cherry clafoutis' calling for millet flour and almond meal, and unconventional lime and coconut milk. For the purists, Peltre offers substitutions for the clafoutis her mother still bakes for her – cream instead of coconut milk and no lime, and all-purpose flour in place of the gluten-free varieties. Peltre is a self-professed clafoutis lover. "Coming to the U.S., I always took for granted that everybody knew what a clafoutis was," she says. "And then you say, 'I made a clafoutis.' 'You made what?' 'You don't know what a clafoutis is? Let me tell you!'"
From 'La Tartine Gourmande: Recipes for an Inspired Life' by Béatrice Peltre (Roost Books, 2012)
Beet and Quinoa Tabouli
Tabouli is commonly prepared with couscous, but I prefer the salad when quinoa is used instead. The natural dye of beets adds a cheerful pink hue to this tabouli that makes the salad stand out on your plate. Add colourful cherry tomatoes picked right off the vine or bought at your local farmers' market, a handful of fresh herbs with lemon juice and olive oil, and you're guaranteed to have what I like to think of as the perfect summer lunch.
Note: If you want to give the quinoa extra flavour, use vegetable broth rather than water.
Serves 4 to 6
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 cup (200 g; 7 oz) uncooked white quinoa
2 cups (475 ml) water or homemade vegetable broth
Sea salt
1 large cooked beet, peeled and diced
1 cup mixed cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
3 oz (90 g) feta cheese, crumbled
For the vinaigrette:
Sea salt and pepper
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped mint
Toast the pine nuts in a frying pan over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until lightly coloured and fragrant; remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain it in a colander. Add it to a pot and cover with the water or broth and a pinch of sea salt. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat, cover, and simmer for 12 to 14 minutes, or until all of the water or broth is absorbed. Remove from the heat and keep covered for 5 more minutes. Transfer the quinoa to a bowl and fluff it with a fork; let cool. Add the beet and toss gently. The quinoa will take on a nice pink colour. Add the tomatoes, onion, and cheese.
To prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the sea salt and pepper with the lemon juice and oil, and whisk to emulsify. Stir in the herbs. Dress the salad with this vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning to your taste. Add more dressing if you like and serve with the pine nuts.
To cook the beet (unpeeled), you have two options: Add it to a pot of water, bring to a boil, and cook until it's easy to insert a knife in the middle. Or you can wrap it in aluminum foil and bake it in an oven preheated to 375ºF (190ºC). The cooking time depends on the size of the beet — it can take between 40 minutes and 1 hour — check regularly. Once cooked through, let cool before peeling the beet.
Arugula Risotto with Basil and Lemon
At times, when I think about a risotto, I feel I must have been Italian in a previous life. Cooking this wonderful dish is inspiring – and much easier than most people think. Each time I make it, I find it fascinating to see how the dish evolves from dry rice into a creamy rich concoction, which is exquisite no matter what flavours and ingredients you end up using. I cooked this particular risotto for the first time to surprise my parents on their wedding anniversary. I had picked fresh herbs in my brother's fantastic vegetable garden – incomparable- and absolutely adored the aromas and simplicity of this elegant dish. Eating it is like having the scents of summer concentrated onto your plate. To dress the dish up even more, saute a few shrimp and serve them on top of the risotto.
Serves 4
Sea salt
3 packed cups (60 g; 2 oz) arugula
1 packed cup (25 g; 1 oz) basil leaves
1 packed cup (25 g; 1 oz) parsley leaves, plus a few sprigs to decorate
4 1/2 cups (1 liter 60 ml) homemade vegetable broth, or more as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more to drizzle
1 tablespoon (14 g; 1/2 oz) unsalted butter
1 shallot, coarsely chopped
1 leek, white part only, finely chopped
Finely grated zest of 1 organic lemon
1 1/2 cups (300 g; 10 1/2 oz) carnaroli rice, or another risotto rice, like Arborio or Vialone Nano
1/3 cup (80 ml) white vermouth or dry white wine
3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
1 1/2 oz (40 g) grated pecorino or Parmesan cheese, plus more to serve
In a pot, combine a large volume of water with a generous pinch of sea salt and bring to boil. Add the arugula and herbs and blanch them for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Rinse under cold water and let cool. Squeeze the excess water out of the herbs by pressing with the tips of your fingers and finely chop; set aside.
In the same pot, warm the vegetable stock; set aside.
In a heavy pot, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the shallot, leek, and lemon zest and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes, without browning, until soft and fragrant. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the vermouth and cook, stirring, until the liquid is absorbed. Add 1 cup of broth and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice has absorbed all the liquid. Add more broth and repeat. Watch that the heat is not too high so that the rice does not cook too quickly. Add the rest of the broth and the herbs, and continue to cook, stirring, until the herbs are well combined. Remove from the heat and stir in the mascarpone and the grated pecorino cheese. Season with pepper, cover, and set aside for 2 minutes.
Serve the risotto in shallow individual plates with a drizzle of oil and more grated pecorino cheese. Decorate with a few sprigs of parsley.
If you want to do some preparation ahead of time, you can freeze the cooked herbs. Once you have squeezed out the excess water, pack them tightly into an ice cube tray (makes 5 regular-size ice cubes). Add a little water and place in the freezer.

This attractive dessert is made for people like me and Philip who cannot resist anything described with words like "dark chocolate" and "custard." Maybe you are one of these people too? It offers a rich silky aromatic chocolate flan-like cream balanced by a light caramel sauce that you'll want to dip your fingers into.
Serves 6
You will need:
Six 6-ounce ramekins
Canola oil, for the ramekins
For the caramel:
1/2 cup (100 g: 3 1/2 oz) fine granulated white sugar
2 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon hot water
For the chocolate custard:
2 1/4 cups (530 ml) whole milk
1 vanilla bean, split open and seeds scraped out
5 green cardamom pods, crushed
3 oz (90 g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons blond cane sugar
Unsweetened cocoa powder, to dust
Oil six 6-ounce ramekins; set aside.
To prepare the caramel: Heat the sugar and cold water in a small pot. Swirl the pot in a circular movement so that the sugar absorbs the water. Bring to a boil, then simmer at a medium heat — do not stir the sugar at this point, although you can swirl the pot occasionally — and watch the caramel develop. It will be ready when it's golden in colour, which takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the hot water, and stir quickly. Pour the caramel into the oiled ramekins, making sure to coat the bottom and sides; set aside.
Preheat the oven to 300ºF (150ºC).
To prepare the custard: In a pot, combine the milk with the vanilla bean and seeds and cardamom pods and bring to a boil, making sure that it doesn't overflow. When it boils, remove from the heat and add the chocolate, whisking quickly so that the chocolate melts evenly. Cover and let infuse for 20 min¬utes. Discard the vanilla bean and cardamom, and using a fine sieve or chinois, strain the chocolate milk.
In the meantime, using a stand mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar for 1 minute. Pour the chocolate milk in and stir quickly. With a spoon, remove any foam that might have formed at the surface. Divide the chocolate custard among the 6 caramel-filled ramekins and place them in a water bath. Place the custards in the oven and cook for about 50 minutes. To check if they are ready, jiggle the ramekins a little — the centre of the cream should be almost set but not fully (they'll finish setting once they cool down). Remove the ramekins from the oven and let cool com¬pletely. Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours, or overnight, until the custard is completely set.
To unmold the crème caramel easily, dip the ramekins in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes, taking care to not let the water spill in. Run the blade of a knife between the custard and the edge of the ramekins. Turn onto a plate and serve with dusted cocoa on top.

Burke said an autopsy was performed Dec. 24 by a Farmington, Mo., forensic pathologist. The coroner had no information on why Okoru was being held at the jail. The Williamson County Sheriff's Department referred calls about the death to Burke.
The investigation continues by the Illinois State Police and Burke's office.

Suspect charged in 1981 shooting
ADDISON -- A man who authorities said fled to Mexico after a 1981 shooting in Addison was formally charged Tuesday with the murder.
Jesus Villareal, 50, who also uses the name Jesus Rodriguez, was indicted on first-degree murder charges in connection with the Aug. 26, 1981, shooting of John Spoors.
Villareal recently was extradited to the U.S. from his home state of Zacatecas. Mexican Federal Police arrested him Jan. 8 on a warrant from the Addison Police Department.
He is scheduled to appear Jan. 12 in DuPage County Circuit Court.

No prison time in obstruction case
VILLA PARK -- An Elk Grove Village man convicted of lying to police investigating the March 2007 murder of Rebecca Klein will not serve any time in state prison, but a DuPage County judge sentenced him Tuesday to 75 days in the county jail's work release program.
Robert Edwards, 42, also was sentenced to probation for a term of 30 months. A jury convicted Edwards of obstruction of justice after a three-day trial in November.
"There is no more important task (the police) could actually do than investigate a murder," assistant state's attorney Joe Ruggiero said at the sentencing. "(Edwards) knowingly, intentionally and selfishly obstructed them in that task."
Klein was suffocated with a plastic garbage bag March 15, 2007, and stuffed in the trunk of her 1966 Ford Mustang, which was left in the garage of the Villa Park home she shared with her girlfriend, authorities said. Her body was found there two days later.
The girlfriend, 28-year-old Nicole Abusharif, is charged with the murder and attempting to conceal it. She is scheduled to stand trial in January.
Edwards worked with Abusharif at a Des Plaines company that sets up video security systems.
After initially telling police they were only friends from work, Edwards later admitted he and Abusharif used drugs together and discussed having a three-way sexual encounter. He also lied to police about the last time he talked to her before the murder and about where he was on the night it occurred, prosecutors said.
During the investigation, police found more than 100 pornographic images of children on Edwards's computer. He still faces child pornography charges in Cook County Circuit Court.

7 arrested, 5 wanted on heroin charges
ROCKFORD -- Every Sunday for the past several months, hundreds of people would flock to a back parking lot of a Rockford housing project to get a free $10 hit of heroin, a token of appreciation from their supplier, law-enforcement officials said today.
Details of the weekly heroin giveaways emerged as officials announced the arrests of seven of the 12 people who police say are members of a large-scale heroin-distribution business.
The arrests are the result of a joint investigation into the ring, allegedly headed by Sammy R. Gordon, 45, of Rockford, officials said.
Gordon and several others were arrested Tuesday morning at several locations throughout Rockford.
Those involved in the investigation include the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department; the Rockford Police Department; the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
The ring was exposed through undercover purchases, surveillance and other investigation methods to infiltrate the ring, officials said at a news conference today.
Also arrested were Robert Smith, 38; Paul Gipson, 26; Caprisha L. Sherman, 25; Mercedes Colon, 21; David Chapman, 46; and Richard Taylor, 23.
Police still are looking for five others. They are Samuel Skinner, Jemal Sturkey, Curtis Hurt, Mario Lambert and Russell Lottie.

Just got back from a trip to Fairfax, Virginia to help DearMYRTLE with 4 presentations at the Fairfax Genealogical Society Spring Conference.
On the way home, I had two stops to make. One was to drop off a book that I had created on the Worthington's who lived in the Worthington House in the Monocacy Battlefield.
On the way there, I stopped by an old cemetery just south of the Battle field to see the renovations that had been done to the Zion Church and Cemetery, Founded in 1802.
Here is a picture I took in 1999.
and today
Dropped of the book, as promised but stopped by the "Thomas Farm" house, the neighboring farm to the Worthington House. Have driven by it many times, but not close enough to take a photo.
(the surprise is coming)
I have a 2nd cousin who lives just north of Gettysburg, but have never stopped by to visit.
The "back story" is that I works for my 2nd cousin's father one summer. I knew about "the Gettysburg Farm" but didn't know where it was. Today, I stopped, not out of the blue, but they were going to be home and it was OK to visit.
The surprise was as soon as the door was open, I thought I had escaped by 60+ years, as the smell of Apple Sauce cooking just rolled out of the door. It was like walking into the kitchen of my grandmothers house, or even my mother as they cooks apple sauce. I had forgotten just how great freshly made, home made, apple sauce really was.
Where was my camera when I needed it. On the stove was an apple sauce grinder just like my grandmother had and used on the stove, with it still dripping the sauce. In fact, the grinder was my grandmothers SISTERs apply sauce grinder doing all of the work, with a little help from my 2nd cousin.
Oh was that good.
After catching up a little and talking about what I had been doing, and sharing my spare copy of the Monocacy book, we talked about my other cousin DearMYRTLE and how we were connected. Now, my 2nd cousin was from Chester County. I mentioned one of the names on a Power Point slide the Myrt showed in Fairfax the day before, and my cousin know immediately the surname. I didn't have to say any more. We talked a little more and mentioned Conrad Weiser, one my Myrt's ancestors.
This is the Conrad Weiser Homestead in Womelsdorf, PA.
As soon as I mentioned "Weiser", my cousin's face lit up, her husband got up and went to a collection of CDs and brought back a Music CD by a Weiser. (sorry, forgot the artist name). But my cousin's children KNOW the many Weiser family members living in the area. Now the homestead is probably 45 minutes away from where I was, but to make that connection, was NOT Expected.

Curtis Jenkins leads Farmingdale to brink of conference title
Curtis Jenkins emerged from the locker room after the game wearing shorts, a shooting shirt . . . and a fedora.
"I like wearing it," he said of the hat. "It's a little ugly, but it's a symbol."
It symbolizes the player who made the biggest contribution to Farmingdale's latest victory. After the Dalers' 66-47 boys basketball win over Freeport Friday, which put them on the cusp of a Nassau Conference AA-I championship, Jenkins was selected as the newest owner of the felt black hat, which is actually made for a woman.
It's called the Daler Derby and after each win, it's awarded to the game MVP, who gets to keep it until the next practice or game.
It looked rather awkward sitting atop the head of a 6-foot small forward but Jenkins did a little of everything to earn the right to wear it. He scored 10 points, grabbed nine rebounds, had seven steals and, ultimately, modeled one hat.
All of Jenkins points, as well as five of his steals, came in a 25-13 second quarter as Farmingdale opened a 20-point lead. Midway through the quarter, Jenkins intercepted a pass and raced down court for a two-handed dunk. Seconds later, he stole the ball again at midcourt and converted a layup in transition.
"I realized that my team needed a lift," Jenkins said. "The separation wasn't enough, so I had to do what I could."
Kevin Petit-Frere had 17 points, including a season-high four three-pointers. With the shot clock winding down midway through the third quarter, Petit-Frere drained a three from deep beyond the arc on the left wing to give Farmingdale a 45-24 lead.
"I know I've always been a shooter, but this game I was just knocking them down," he said. "We were coming off a tough loss, so we really wanted to get this win."
Kyhiem Chaplin scored nine of his 13 points in the third quarter for Freeport (7-3). Joshua Chester added nine points, all of which came in the fourth.
Dalique Mingo had 17 points as Farmingdale (8-1) moved within one win of capturing its first outright conference title since the 2002-03 season.
"Of course the big goal is at the end," Farmingdale coach Jim Pastier said. "But if we can win this conference, these guys will get a plaque and a banner up on the wall and it'll hang there forever. It's a great accomplishment."
As is wearing that ugly Daler Derby.

With the setting sun the light upon the meadow began to fade. The evening winds danced in the sweet grass and spoke gently to the man still standing at the meadow's edge.
"For seven years you have come here to mourn your love. You must come here no more. She came to you to release you and now you must release her. For seven years she has forgone the joys of her reward to come here and suffer with you. For seven years she has watched you stand here in this field from season to season and year to year.
You must come here no more. There is nothing for you here that is not already burned upon your heart. In another day, another time, this once again will be your special place, yours and hers and the two of you will never leave it, unless you leave together. It is not yet that time. You cannot stay here and you must not hold her to this place. It is time for you to go, to go on with the life that you have yet to live. It is time for you to go."
Erinhue heard the message riding upon the wind and knew it to be the wind and word of truth. Another life awaited him. Another life that he held more dear than his own depended upon his presence and yet another would be devastated should he chose to ignore the truth and remain. There were little ones, brand new lives that would need wise stewarding as they began their way in life.
There was nothing for him here and everything beyond the confines of this recollection simply waiting for him to gaze in that direction. It was time to leave this place, to put away its memories, to release its ghosts, to revere its spirit and walk away.
For another moment Erinhue gazed out over the meadow. The silver light of the full moon cast feathery shadows sweeping across the sweet grass floor. For one last moment Erinhue allowed his heart to break as he sank down into the carpet of wild flowers and sent the pain back into the earth. In one more moment, he stood, drew three deep breaths, then turned towards the new life that waited. In one more and final moment, he spoke her name then turned and walked away.

Stars mean nothing, when you watch the NFL draft, check out what their high school rankings were, way too many flew under the radar for the scouting services to be proved accurate. So many 'top' prospects don't pan out, whether it be for off the field issues, or the fact that they just aren't good enough. I've come to the conclusion that its pretty pointless following the recruitment of a kid from March -> Signing day when: 1) there's a good chance he won't sign with you; and 2) there's a good chance that he won't be the player you hope he'll be.
So for these reasons, I'm sorry to say that this will be the last post on MGoRecruit.
I'd like to thank all of you for your continued support over the last two and a half years, I never really imagined that the site would become so popular - 6 million hits! I started the blog because I was bored over the summer and loved Michigan football; of course I still love Michigan football, but nowadays I just won't have the time to keep the blog running with high quality. So again, thank you so much for following the blog and putting up with my recruiting ramblings for so long!
Fortunately for you, as Michigan fans there are plenty of ways to get your recruiting fix. The godfather of UM recruiting is and always will be Sam Webb, and I can't recommend his morning radio show and/or podcasts enough. They really do cover all the important stories, and if anyone has an idea where a recruit is going, it's Sam. Then you have another great free source over at MGoBlog, which I'm sure you already know about, but its worth mentioning that Ace does a great job over there.
I haven't spoken much with SimplyComplex lately, but I'm sure he'll continue to work in the field of Michigan recruiting, so make sure you follow him here on twitter. I'd also like to thank him for the great contributions he's made to the site over the last month.
So yeah, that's it. Best of luck to all you in whatever you're up to the future, and thanks for everything.
Go Blue.

Texas Ranger impersonator gets probation
A member of a Texas separatist group who was twice arrested for impersonating a Texas Ranger agreed Wednesday to begin serving probation.
Gregory Brent Davis, a 62-year-old member of the Republic of Texas, also agreed to pay a $1,250 fine and complete 200 hours of community service as part of his plea agreements for impersonating a public servant and unlawfully carrying a handgun.
Republic of Texas members believe that Texas never legally joined the United States and hope for a peaceful return to national sovereignty, according to the group's website.
Davis initially was arrested at a charity rodeo event in July 2011 while wearing a silver badge that said "Ranger" and carrying a Colt Model 1911 pistol in a leather holster, according to court documents.
When approached by Helotes Police Chief Robert Hunley, Davis identified himself as "Col. Gregory Davis, director of Rangers" and "claimed he was asked to assist with security at the event," authorities noted.
Suspicious after listening to "several extreme boasts and unbelievable claims regarding his tour of duty in Vietnam," Hunley contacted an actual Texas Ranger who confirmed Davis was not among the agency's ranks.
Davis later failed to make a court appearance, prompting a second arrest, this time by San Antonio police.
Officers followed him to a bank where Davis made a transaction while wearing the badge, with a gun on his hip. He told the officers that he had "paperwork giving him authority as a Ranger," court documents state.
Davis was set to go to trial in the 379th state District Court in May, but the proceedings were postponed after he twice refused to change from his jail scrubs into clothes provided to him by his attorney, according to court records.
