96th Annual Ephrata Fair Draws Huge Crowd
(Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese)
Gorgeous autumn weather ushered in the first few days of the 96th Annual Ephrata Fair, which was followed by a rather dreary day Thursday and then more lovely weather to wrap up the week. Thousands of area residents turned out to enjoy great food, plenty of entertainment, the excellent parade, and everything in between. Shown from top left going clockwise, are two-year-old Abbie Moyer who found great joy in meeting a goat, and commented, "You're real tall!"; Paige Kiehl with an arm full in the 9 to 11 year old girls pig chase competition, and her rivals are standing looking in awe at the size of her catch and the audience cheered her on to complete the monumental task; Joylynn Hippey (as the mad hatter) makes final preparations with fellow dance studio friends to perform in the parade; perennial kids favorite corn crib is abuzz with activity; the imaginative group from Destinations to Explore wowed the crowd with storybook characters; Richard Saylor navigates his tractor blind folded during the tractor games; a gorgeous vegetable display; graceful dancers in the parade; and a crowd eagerly awaits their tasty sample of Monkey Bread.

Tiny Victorian Cottage in the Woods
A dream home in a dream landscape, this tiny Victorian-style cottage used to be a hunting cabin in the Catskills. The amazing transformation was the work of one woman, Sandra Foster, who used vintage columns, flooring and wavy glass windows, and completed the carpentry herself. Most of the items were found at yard sales or crafted by her own hand. A stream runs between Ms. Foster's cottage and the trailer that she and her husband live in. Some people don't wait for their dream homes; they make them instead.

Roy Oswalt came into last night's outing having been forced from his previous start by a tight back. How is back is actually doing is something we might never know, but he had more than enough to mow down the Padres. He allowed just one hit through six shutout innings before a high pitch count forced him from the game. The Phils scored three early runs with the help of homers from Francisco and Schneider and the bullpen held after Oswalt departed as the Phils earned a win in the first of their four-game set with the Padres.
The Phils have now hit four home runs in their last two games, which have driven in six of the seven runs the team has scored. The offense continues to scuffle, having scored 30 runs in the last ten games. Howard, Ibanez and Rollins continue to struggle in the heart of the order for the Phils — last night they combined to go 1-for-12 with six strikeouts, three walks and 11 men left on base.
The Phillies are 12-6 on the year after beating the Padres 3-0 last night in San Diego.
Oswalt got the start for the Phillies allowed one hit and two walks over six shutout innings. He struck out seven and dropped his ERA on the year to 1.88. After four starts he has an 0.88 ratio for the season — in 24 innings he's allowed 15 hits and six walks.
The Phillies have seven quality starts in their last eight games.
He walked Jason Bartlett 3-2 to start the bottom of the first. Oswalt got Orlando Hudson looking for the first out and Jorge Cantu on a fly ball to center for the second before Bartlett stole second. Oswalt got Chase Headley to fly to left to end the inning.
He started the second with a 2-0 lead and got Ryan Ludwick to fly to right for the first out. Nick Hundley was next and Oswalt walked him on another 3-2 pitch. Cameron Maybin flew to right and Chris Denorfia struck out to leave Hundley at first.
Oswalt struck the pitcher Mat Latos out to start the third with the Phils up 3-0. Bartlett and Hudson both grounded out behind Latos.
It took 14 pitches and nine foul balls, but Oswalt got Cantu swinging to start the fourth. Headley struck out behind him and Ludwick lined to third.
He got the first two Padres to start the fifth before Denorfia lined a single to right. Pitcher Cory Luebke, who took over for Latos in the fifth, was next and he struck out swinging to leave Denorfia stranded.
Oswalt threw a 1-2-3 sixth. He ended the inning having thrown 106 pitches.
Herndon took over in the seventh with the Phils still up 3-0. He got the first two before Hundley lined a single to center. Maybin walked behind him, putting two men on and bringing Denorfia to the plate as the tying run. Lefty Will Venable hit for the righty Denorfia and Bastardo came in to pitch to him. Bastardo got ahead of Venable 1-2, but threw three straight balls to walk him and the bases were loaded for the pitcher's spot in the order. Righty Alberto Gonzalez hit for Luebke and flew to right to leave the bases loaded.
Herndon wasn't charged with any runs there, but it still wasn't a real impressive outing as he lowered his ERA to 8.22.
Bastardo was back to start the eighth and Bartlett led off with a single to left. Hudson struck out and Cantu flew to left for the first two outs. Lefty Eric Patterson hit for the pitcher and struck out looking to end the inning.
In seven appearances, Bastardo has now thrown eight scoreless innings in which he's struck out 11. He's allowed three hits and four walks.
Contreras started the ninth and got the first two before Maybin doubled to left. The lefty Venable walked on five pitches, bringing Gonzalez to the plate as the tying run. Lefty Brad Hawpe hit for the righty Gonzalez and Contreras struck him out looking 3-2 to end the game.
Three scoreless innings for the pen preserves the shutout, but they allowed three hits and three walks. Contreras threw 26 pitches, Bastardo 23 and Herndon 15.
The bullpen for the Phils is walking too many batters. They have now walked 27 in 51 innings (about 4.76 per nine innings).
The Phillies lineup against righty Mat Latos went (1) Victorino (2) Polanco (3) Rollins (4) Howard (5) Ibanez (6) Francisco (7) Orr (8) Schneider. Lefties Orr and Schneider in the lineup against the righty. Ibanez hits fifth with Francisco sixth, so Francisco breaks up the four left-handed hitters.
Polanco reached on an error by the pitcher Latos with one out in the first and stole second. Rollins was next and looped a ball that fell in left. The throw went to third, but Polanco was safe there and the play allowed Rollins to take second. It put men on second and third with one out, but Howard struck out swinging 2-2 and Ibanez struck out swinging 3-2.
Nothing for the Phils, who get to send their left-handed four and five hitters to the plate against a righty. Howard can't bring the runner home from third with one out. Ibanez continues to strike out at a worrisome rate — including last night's game he has struck out in 25.3% of his plate appearances so far this season. For his career he has struck out in about 15.7% of his plate appearances.
Francisco hit an 0-2 pitch out to center to start the second. 1-0. Orr flew to center for the first out before Schneider hit a 3-1 pitch out to right-center. Oswalt and Victorino both struck out.
Francisco has three home runs on the year. Two of them have now come on an 0-2 count and the other also came with two strikes (a 2-2 pitch from Blaine Boyer on April 6). For Francisco, it was his first extra-base hit since April 8. Including last night he's gone 6-for-36 with a home run and four walks since April 8.
Polanco singled to start the third and moved to second on a walk by Rollins. Howard struck out for the first out before a walk to Ibanez loaded the bases for Francisco. Francisco hit a ball to right that Denorfia didn't handle for the second San Diego error in 2 1/3 innings. Everyone moved up a base and Polanco scored, making it 3-0 with one out and the bases still loaded. Orr popped up to second on the infield fly rule and Schneider grounded out to second, leaving the runners stranded.
Again Polanco and Rollins get on base to do what they can to rally the Phils. Again Howard strikes out. Francisco's ball would have scored Polanco even if Denorfia had caught it, but Orr comes up empty in a big spot with less than two outs.
Victorino and Polanco walked back-to-back with one out in the fourth. Rollins struck out for the second out before the Phils pulled off a double-steal. It put men on second and third for Howard, but he struck out again to leave both men stranded.
Polanco on base again. Howard strikes out again with men on base. Through four innings, Howard was 0-for-3 with three strikeouts and six men left on base. The only inning in which he hadn't struck out with two men on base was the second.
Francisco walked with one out in the fifth and apparently five walks through 4 1/3 was enough for the Padres to pull Latos. Lefty Cory Luebke took over and struck out lefties Orr and Schneider to set the Phils down.
Polanco singled to left with two outs in the sixth, but Rollins lined to third behind him.
The Phils went in order in the seventh.
Orr singled to left off of righty Pat Neshak to start the eighth. Schneider flew to center for the first out before Mayberry, who was double-switched into the game in the bottom of the seventh, moved Orr to second with a single to left. A walk to Victorino loaded the bases, but Polanco hit into a double-play to turn the Phils away.
Ibanez walked with two outs in the ninth. With righty Chad Qualls pitching for San Diego, Gload hit for Bastardo and flew to left for the third out.
Victorino was 0-for-3 with two walks. He has at least one hit in six of his last eight, but his line overall in those eight games isn't so impressive — 233/361/433. Two walks last night puts him on pace to walk 63 times this year, which would be a career high. He's walked in about 9.0% of his plate appearances so far this year. 8.2% last year and 7.5% for his career.
Polanco 2-for-4 with a walk. 360/415/493 for the year.
Rollins was 1-for-4 with a walk, dropping his average to .260. He's slugging .315 for the season with one RBI, which puts him on pace to drive in nine runs. He needs to hit with more power or move out of three-hole.
Howard was 0-for-5 with four strikeouts and six men left on base. He's 4-for-his-last-29 with a double, three walks and 11 strikeouts (138/235/172). In the first nine games of the season he hit 361/390/639 and struck out seven times in 41 plate appearances. Over the last nine games he has hit 156/263/281 and struck out 12 times in 38 plate appearances.
Ibanez was 0-for-3 and walked twice. He's 4-for-his-last-28 with ten strikeouts.
Francisco 1-for-2 with a home run, a sac fly and a walk. Nice to see him have a big game with his long struggles. He's not striking out, he's just not getting hits. Over his last 36 plate appearances he's struck out just twice but put up a 161/250/258 line (5-for-31 with a home run and four walks).
Orr was 1-for-4 with a big popup in the third. He's 6-for-16 (.375) with a walk and six singles on the year.
Schneider was 1-for-4 with a home run and five men left on base. 2-for-12 with two home runs on the year gives him the highest slugging percentage on the team at .667.
Cole Hamels (1-1, 4.32) faces lefty Clayton Richard (1-0, 4.50) tonight in game two of the set. Richard has made four starts this season, but one of them was only an inning long before the game was delayed by rain. Two of the other three have been good, but his last time out he was hit hard by the Astros, allowing six runs in 5 1/3 innings. Hamels got hammered by the Mets in his first start of the year, but has been very good his last two times out, allowing two runs over 14 innings while striking out 15. He hasn't given up a home run yet this year.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
This is a mature, refi ned cabernet sauvignon, with
a bouquet of complexity, with lifted aromas of cedar, menthol, blackcurrant, cigar box, roasted capsicum, nutmeg and marzipan.
The palate is soft and supple, displaying a textural
component that has been made more prominent by
extended maturation in the bottle. Long fi ne grained tannins are apparent, with a vibrancy of fresh fruit that shows potential for further development with age.
"A new offering that I have never tasted before is the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon, The Benbournie, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 14 months in French oak. This spectacular effort admirably demonstrates what can be achieved in Clare Valley with Cabernet. Gorgeous peppery, minty, black currant and flowery scents jump from the glass of this inky/purple-hued wine. Full-bodied, powerful, intense and rich, with notes of roasted meats, dried herbs, and spice, good purity and a sensational finish, it is accessible now and should drink well for 15-20 years."
96 Points
The Wine Advocate
"For a late-release 2002, this is still very youthful, packing layers of rich cassis and blackberry fruit into a soft jacket of vanilla, cedar and toasted coconut. It's full-bodied, lush and velvety—a simply terrific Cabernet that should prove to have excellent aging potential as well. Drink now–2020"
93 Points
Wine Enthusiast
"Firm in texture, with a plush layer of cherry and red currant fruit pushing through, shaded with fresh red pepper and sage character as the finish persists. A distinctive wine with an aristocratic feel. Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2010 through 2014. 100 cases imported."
92 Points
Wine Spectator
"Deep red. Spicy red- and blackcurrant aromas are complicated by zesty mint, anise and rose, with an undercurrent of suave oak spice. Fleshy and sweet, with ripe cassis and kirsch flavors given depth by mocha and licorice; picks up dried herbs and espresso on the finish. Became riper and more dark-fruit-driven with air, but at no expense of clarity."
91 Points
International Wine Cellar
"Deep colour and equally deep-flavoured wine, with blackcurrant fruit at the extremely ripe end of the scale, the tannins and oak well-handled. Cork."
91 Points
Australian Wine Companion
From the heart of South Australia, Jim Barry was a legendary and beloved Clare Valley identity. Since 1959, Jim Barry Wines reflect the Barry family's commitment to making table wines with an emphasis on quality and enjoyment. Jim Barry's philosophy of winemaking was very simple: own the vineyards to develop the best fruit flavors possible and retain these flavors during winemaking. The rich, full-bodied Jim Barry wines distinctly embody this simple winemaking philosophy.
Known for its Rieslings, all in screw cap since the year 2000, the wines of Clare Valley are distinctive. The Riesling here is dry, dry, dry. Delicate yet firm, these wines won't remind you of Germany or Alsace - they have a flavor all their own. The lime flavors and zesty acidity make the wine perfect for summer sipping or pacific rim food (aka, seafood). Notable Facts Since...Read More About Clare Valley
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes.

Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

Vettel ran away with the main event on Sunday afternoon, leading every lap from pole position, but Formula One's first foray of the year to North America was as much about the people attending the race and the track's unique setting on the Ile Notre Dame in the St Lawrence river.
Hugh Grant had switched allegiance since his last visit to a grand prix, at Monza in 2012. Back then he was a guest of Ferrari, having just picked up a new set of wheels in Maranello, but this weekend he was a guest of Red Bull Racing and loving every moment of chatting to Sebastian Vettel after the race, if their mutual back-slapping was understood correctly!
McAvoy, a star of X-Men and Atonement, was an interested observer on the grid. While loving the excitement of it all, he also found the improvisation of the mechanics a surprise. "These are the most sophisticated cars in the world," he said. "So, how come there's so much gaffer tape all over them?"
Many former F1 stars were in the paddock over the weekend as well. Double world champion Emerson Fittipaldi showed up on Saturday, joining a host of other champions such as Jacques Villeneuve, Damon Hill and Niki Lauda, and you couldn't help wondering on Saturday evening if Williams rookie Bottas mightn't be a champion of the future.
Rain has always been a great leveller in F1, but what made the weather conditions so tricky during qualifying was the fact that they were never consistent. Persistent drizzle made the track greasy; it was too wet for dry tyres, but not wet enough for full wet tyres either. For the first time in recent memory, the entire session was completed on intermediate tyres.
Bottas drove with brilliant consistency throughout all three segments of qualifying and he lined up third, taking some impressive scalps along the way. In fact, the only cars ahead of him on the grid were Vettel and Hamilton. "As soon as it became clear that the conditions weren't going to improve enough for slicks," said Valtteri, "I thought a good result was possible."
Unfortunately, Valtteri's Williams FW35 didn't have the dry-weather pace to bring home his and the team's first points of the season. That at least saved him getting wet because he'd vowed to jump into the rowing lake at the back of the paddock if he'd come home inside the top 10.
Rounding off a brilliant weekend of entertainment in Montreal were the Rolling Stones, who played in the city's Bell Centre on Sunday evening. They played a three-hour set, gaining praise from Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner. "Mick and the guys are fitter than the drivers," he said. Wild horses the lot of them.

Executive Summary
In this age of botnets, rootkits, spyware, and other bleeding-edge security threats, file infectors are frequently thought of as a dead threat. But during the past year or so, it has observed an unprecedented growth in classic file-infecting viruses that have enjoyed a relatively high degree of success in the wild - causing widespread damage to computer systems. Many of the new viruses seen today aren't advancements in their own right; rather, they have just taken advantage of advancements in technology. And the sophistication of infection techniques and vectors used by viruses these days are on the rise.

Thanks for reply...
I have installed "newsletter-trunk-r113848(2).tar" module for Newsletter.
But I click on "create" button in admin it is not working same problem.
so can you tell me why this type of problem occurs...and also tell me which module works perfectly for newsletter.

Re: Newsletter Module
22 December 2010 at 9:02am
But I click on "create" button in admin it is not working same problem.
Do you get a red error box when creating the newsletter (bottom of the screen) or does it simply sit there doing nothing?
One thing you can do to debug is to install Firebug (if you're using firefox) or if you're using Safari/Chrome just look at the 'console' tab. When you click create you should see a new line appear in the console with the ajax request, from there you can drill down into what the response is and any errors which occur.

I'm having a similar issue with the newsletter module, all looks like it is installed ok, pages registered, classes etc, but 'create' button in newsletter not doing anything at all. can anyone help?
These are the details based on solutions in thread...
Installed into 'silverstripe-newsletter' folder in main directory
go to create newsletter in CMS and nothing occurs
chrome console spits out this on button press: event.layerX and event.layerY are broken and deprecated in WebKit. They will be removed from the engine in the near future.
Any ideas?

Re: Newsletter Module
14 January 2012 at 4:01pm
The folder needs to be called 'newsletter'. LayerX/LayerY is a seperate issue but shouldn't affect the CMS currently.

Scorpio: Taking responsibility for making your dreams a reality is vital. Possible money flow, changes in home and where you live. Healing issues from childhood may happen for some. Nurturing sensual/sexual experiences may find you. Be open!
Sagittarius: Risk-taking, sense of adventure, self-love and self-appreciation are focus. Relationships expand and flourish. Be of service where possible. If something doesn't feel right, you can't do it, no matter what the reward. Jump into what does feel good and don't look back!
Capricorn: It's about you making the first move in business and personal relationships and not waiting for the other person. You may surprise yourself and transform in front of your own eyes. Work and health may flourish. A move is possible. You may find yourself teaching others what you know.
Aquarius: Energized! Ready to go! You want to make something happen. Putting foundations in place in career and may formally teach others. Writing, speaking, networking. Social events are plentiful. Deep changes for the better in how you see yourself. Have fun!
Pisces: Be clear with yourself. Don't look at life through rose-colored glasses right now. Friendships will change. Career may expand. Home and family flourish and nurture you. Beauty and fashion infuse your professional life. If traveling, have some educational piece in your itinerary. It will off set delays. Others find you magnetic!

Beth Dichter's curator insight, May 18, 8:39 PM
Do your students need to practice with grammar and punctuation? Quill provides worksheets for students in Grades 1 - 8 that have spelling and grammar errors. Students have to correct the errors. Quill corrects the papers, showing students what they did correctly, or what needs to be corrected.
Create your own classroom, provide students a code to sign-in, and pick your assignments. Students work at their pace and you can view their work through the dashboard.
As Richard Byrne states in this post "Having the pre-made activities at your disposal and having the opportunity to quickly see how your students did on each activity will free up some of your time."
There is a video that explains the site in more detail, or you may go directly the the website: http://www.quill.org/
Beth Dichter's curator insight, April 4, 9:21 PM
Andrew Church has created a tool for Self-Assessment and Reflection that asks students to answer 4 questions:
* What can I do? ((How am I going?)
* What can't I do? (How am I going?)
* How does my work compare with others? (How am I going?)
* What can I do better? (Where do I go next?)
And then students are asked to look ahead with this question:
* What are my next steps? (What actions are you going to take as a result of your reflections? Who can help me? Where to next?)
You can download two versions of this as a pdf file. One is in portrait mode and one in landscape mode. Church also asks that you provide him with feedback.
Linda Buckmaster's curator insight, April 5, 1:29 AM
"I have been working on a tool for self assessment/reflection and feedback...This particular tool is based around the work of Stephen Dinham and John Hattie & Helen Timperley."
Jasmin Hodge's curator insight, February 10, 6:58 AM
Great resource I've passed onto our Art and Design and Student Union... see what fun I can have with my kids too - a very professional looking product at the end that students will be desperate to show off to friends and family :)
BI Media Specialists's curator insight, January 31, 9:36 AM

The CIA World Factbook is a great encyclopedic source of information about all the countries in the world and a great place for students to find information for the classic country report project. But have you ever wished that the World Factbook would be linked to the current events and media sources for the country of your choice? That is exactly what the BBC news has created with their Country Profiles page, an expansion on their regional tabs (such as Africa and Asia). This is a link worth bookmarking, and one I'll including in tag with a compilation of the best resources that I've put on this site (IMHO-If you have nominees that aren't on the list, let me know).

Beijing's Pollution is depicted throug this picture which shows that the factory is the equivalent of the "yello brik road" in this instance because it is where everything happens and where all the work is done and then the city landscape is depicted as cold in the dark grey scale. It depicts not only the spacial regognition but the actual, socitetal views on each place in relation to eachother.
Tracy Galvin's curator insight, May 3, 4:52 PM
It is a beautiful image until you read what it is actually depicting. It is very sad that a nation would choose money over the health of their citizens.
Glenn Cades Colada's curator insight, May 8, 7:36 PM
Beijing's pollution.
This is very interesting because it comes to show how humans have evolved and how they don't really care about the Earth's atmosphere.

In the Winnie the Pooh Movie Pooh's Grand Adventure, the character Rabbit has absolute confidence in the printed word and especially the map.
Questions to ponder: How much do we trust any given map? How much should we trust a map (or the printed word)? What makes a document reliable or unreliable?
Melissa Marshall's curator insight, November 28, 2013 1:04 AM
The user is putting total trust in the map to get from A to B. How can we trust the map? What are the features of good infromation? A useful discussion-starter.
Steven Flis's curator insight, December 16, 2013 3:38 AM
I think this video is a perfect example of todays modern soceity. Many people in this would today are exactly like rabbit, they believe everything they see without questioning its integrity. this has cause alot of problems in todays internet fueled world with anyone being able to post whatever they want and call it fact. This is where we need more people like Pooh who question everything. Pooh sees where he wants to go with his own eyes and can tell that rabbit is leading him the wrong way. This is relateable to so much in geography but to keep it simple ill compare it to Pythagoras proclaimed the earth was spherical. He question something everyone in the world took as a fact and nobody believed him because it was already stated that the world was flat. Just like pooh questioning the "offical map"

Officials at Northern Illinois University have fired the chief of the NIU Police Department.
The attorney for former Police Chief Donald Grady said he doesn't believe Grady's handling of a rape case against a university police officer is the lone factor in his firing Tuesday. The officer, Andrew Rifkin, was accused of sexually assaulting a student, but charges against him were eventually dismissed. Grady was placed on leave in November during an investigation of the department's handling of that case.
Attorney Michael Fox said an investigation into an off-the-books repository for proceeds from the sale of university-owned scrap metal and other materials contributed to Grady's dismissal. Eight NIU employees and one former employee were criminally charged Oct. 16.
"Is President (John) Peters responsible for those nine individuals?" Fox told the (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle. "Should he have known about that? Why is he treated any differently?"
Fox said university officials have no evidence Grady knew a subordinate, Lt. Kartik Ramakrishnan, had placed two witness statements in Rifkin's personnel file instead of turning them over to the state's attorney. He called Grady's termination "very unjust."
Grady had been praised for his department's actions after the Feb. 14, 2008, shootings on NIU's campus. That attack left five students and the gunman dead. Grady was one of the first officers to enter the lecture hall where the shootings took place. Survivors praised Grady for his bravery.
The case involving the sexual assault of a student was plagued by questions after it emerged that an investigator at the NIU Police Department failed to reveal statements from the student's friends, who claimed she and the officer were involved in a consensual relationship. Though it's never been explained why the department would suppress information that might have aided the former officer's defense, the judge in the case determined it was done intentionally and not as a result of an oversight.
Fox also was critical of NIU Acting Director of Public Safety Bill Nicklas' handling of Grady's review and the letter of termination he wrote to his client.
"We asked (Nicklas) what evidence do you have that (Grady) knew? His answer was silence," Fox said. "I think we're entitled to something more than silence when you take the career of a man of Chief Grady's status away."
In Nicklas' letter to Grady, he said he did not believe Grady's assertions that he wasn't involved with hiding the witness statements.
NIU officials say Acting Police Chief Darren Mitchell is now leading the department.

Phew! Two hours of "The Voice" is a lot to process. The NBC show was heavy on the tug-at-your-heartstrings contestant backstories tonight, which can make for some intense emotional weight-lifting. But we all survived, and slowly but surely, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton are building up their teams.
So let's tackle the new additions first.
Team Christina
Halley and Leland are a Nashville duo who call themselves "The Line." Their cover of Tom Petty's "American Girl" got the crowd clapping and singing along with the anthemic chorus, and got all the judges to spin their chairs.
Lindsey, 22, from Sacramento, with long dark hair and a half-shaved head, got Christina, Cee Lo and Blake to all push their buttons with her cover of Trey Songz's "Say Aah." A breathy, beautiful and wholly refreshing take on the club staple. Lindsey listed Fiona Apple as one of her influences to Carson Daly, and Blake Shelton, bless his country heart, asked her: "What's that girl's name? Fiona Apple? Is she an influence?" Oh, Blake, you're so adorable.
Which brings Christina's team member total to four. Eight to go.
Team Cee Lo
Jamar, 29, from the Bronx, got only one judge to push the button with his work on the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army," but that one button-push was all he needed. Jamar said he's hero-worshipped Cee Lo for years so, as Adam said, "this is a match made in heaven."
Angie, 31, from St. Louis, Mo. is a staff sergeant with the U.S. Air Force, and has achieved some YouTube success because of her singing chops. A clip of her singing Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" caught Carson's attention and secured her an invite to audition. Again, only Cee Lo pushed his button for her and her cover of Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker," but this girl's tough – she's been on seven deployments, after all – so I don't think she was hurt by a lack of button-pushing.
Cee Lo's team total: three. Nine to go.
Team Blake
Gwen, 37, from North Dakota, has a voice that was described by the judges as tender, considerate, cool, strong. Her incredibly sweet and endearing cover of "Stay" caught the attention of Cee Lo and Adam as well, but she went with Blake, and the country music gods rejoiced.
Jermaine, 32, is a back-up singer for Alicia Keys and is R&B through and through. Though his take on the pop-punk princess Avril Lavigne's "Complicated" elicited a button-push from Cee Lo, he went with Blake. This should be interesting.
Three on Blake's team, nine more spots to fill.
Team Adam
Kim, 50, from Los Angeles, is my new personal hero. The oldest contestant on the show yet, she is fierceness embodied. People can place limitations on you because of your age, she says, but she's still going for her dream. Her singing on "Tell Me Something Good" was full of energy, power and, well, sexuality. She went with Adam, but I think she and Christina belong on a team together – her boobs were giving Christina's a run for their money tonight.
Angel, 23, also from L.A., went with Adam as well after he and Cee Lo duked it out for the young lady's choice. She sang "Someone Like You," and God help me, Adele gets me EVERY TIME.
With the addition of these two, Adam still has nine spots to fill on his team.
And That Prince Medley…
Was delightful. We got to see Adam's face, biceps and tattoos all at once, and while Blake's take on "Kiss" wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, the medley was pretty great – even though it lacked "Raspberry Beret." And Cee Lo's outfit is something that needs to be added to my closet, a.s.a.p., but preferably in Snuggie form.

There's nothing like a celebrity mom losing the baby weight the old fashioned way to make us feel better about our chances of getting the sexy back. And Kristin Cavallari's recent confession that breastfeeding baby Camden Jack has really helped her slim down is a double win for us everyday women out here.
It's a celebrity endorsement of breastfeeding that helps shut down the haters, and it's a little boost for the ladies who are feeling a little down about that tummy pooch. But is Kristin right? Is breastfeeding really going to help? Maybe you should ask these other celebrity moms who swear it helped them get back to their pre-baby weight.
These moms in Hollywood who wanted to give their babies a good start in life and have gotten a good start on the weight loss because of it. Yeah, forget all the negative things you've heard about what breastfeeding can do to your body. Your boobs will droop because of age anyway, ladies, but cutting the weight can only be good for you -- not just in terms of looks but health too!
Check out this list -- do any of them surprise you? How did breastfeeding change your body?
Image via Maressa Brown
I breastfed my first child for 10 months, and am currently breastfeeding my 4 month old. Everyone I know who breastfed lost their baby weight fast (and some even more), but I can't seem to lose the last 10 while I breastfeed, no matter what I do! I am super jealous, is all :) I wouldn't change my decision to breastfeed just for those 10 pounds, but I wish they'd disappear already!
Snooki may breast feed to lose weight but I question all the alcohol she loves. Sick of stars like this.
On that note...should I feel sorry for Jessica Simpson for gaining 60+ pounds..NOPE. I bet she has a hell of a lot of stretch marks that she will always blame her baby for. If you want to gain that much weight good for you. Don't hate us moms who are logical and put cream on daily to prevent the marks and do not gain 60lbs.

Happy birthday, Chestnuthill! You're 250!
Chestnuthill Township, which was an official locality before the Revolutionary War was even fought, will mark its quarter-millennium anniversary this year and will celebrate by holding a parade and large community festival at the West End Fairgrounds in September.
West End businesses, community organizations and other groups will be allowed, for a small fee, to set up booths and displays at the festival.
Groups, clubs and other entities that make up the fabric of the West End community will be allowed to march in the parade. Food and drinks will be served and artifacts and historical documents displayed.
"The entire celebration is a way of us pausing to reflect on where we are and how we got here and to document some of the information," said Norm Burger, chairman of a Chestnuthill Township committee set up to organize the anniversary celebration.
"Quite a bit of the detail of our history gets lost as each generation passes, and if one does not take time to capture that history, the detail and the understanding that goes along with it goes missing," Burger said.
And what an impressive history Chestnuthill Township has.
Originally set up under British rule, the township was named for the abundant chestnut trees that once lined many roads and dotted hillsides in the area.
In fact, according to the Monroe County Historical Society, the large hill that one summits when driving into the village of McIlhaney on Old Route 115 was the "Chestnut Hill."
Many of the township's chestnut trees, unfortunately, died off in the 1800s, in a chestnut blight.
Some other interesting historical facts about Chestnuthill:
As part of the 250th anniversary celebration, Chestnuthill Township plans to publish a book detailing the township's history.
Chestnuthill is looking for more people and businesses to help sponsor the anniversary events.
The township will give out gifts and other benefits to sponsors. People who want to be a sponsor or want to have a booth at the anniversary festival, which will be held on the weekend of Sept. 7, can stop by the Chestnuthill Township building for forms.

Immaculate Conception, Ascension, Easter are rip-offs of pagan festivals?
Easter still bears the name of the goddess the holiday was stole from.
Rasmussen Reports is out with some data sure to make anti-Christmas heads spin. The vast majority of Americans believe Christmas should be focused on Jesus, not Santa.
Should Christmas be more about Jesus Christ or Santa Claus? It may seem hard to tell looking at the popular culture, but Americans overwhelmingly think the emphasis should be on Jesus.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 76% of American Adults believe Christmas should be more about Jesus. Only 14% think it should be more about Santa, but another 10% are not sure.

What is Solitary Kidney?
Solitary kidney is a condition in which instead of two kidneys, a person has a single kidney. A person may be born with one kidney (renal agenesis), have two kidneys but only one functional (renal dysplasia) or lose one kidney to a disease, such as kidney cancer. People who donate one of their kidneys have a solitary kidney. The kidneys perform the following:
Filter waste from the blood
Help maintain water balance and blood pressure
Keep the proper balance of minerals in the blood
Most people who have one kidney lead normal healthy lives. Some people experience complications including reduced kidney function and high blood pressure.Symptoms
High blood pressure
Increased protein in the urine or proteinuria
Reduced filtering capacity measured by glomerular filtration rate (GFR). A reduced GFR, measured by a blood test, can occur in people with a single kidney. As long as these conditions are under control, they will probably not affect the overall health dramatically, but regular monitoring is needed.
Some people discover they have a single kidney by accident.An X-ray and/or an ultrasoundTo monitor possible strain on the single kidney, regular blood and urine tests are needed.
Controlling blood pressure with lifestyle changes and/or medication
Sensible diet and avoiding too much protein to avoid putting strain on the kidney
Avoiding injury is important but the child should still engage in physical activity. Discuss appropriate sports with your doctor.
When to Call for Help
If your child has symptoms including high blood pressure, blood in the urine or foamy urine, swelling in the face, hands, legs, talk to your pediatrician.
At Hopkins Children's, solitary kidney is treated by the division of Nephrology.

What's Up, Doc?
You've seen them once, and you're seeing them again. Welcome the massive return of the '90s staple shoe, Doc Martens. With their signature rubber sole and thick stitching, the boots are one of the most recognizable in the history of kicks. Ultimately, the design of new Docs hasn't changed much, with the company opting to stay true to their wheelhouse while adding some contemporary selections to the board. If you've held onto your pair from high school, pull them back out. And if they're not your style anymore, keep in mind there's a market on eBay just chomping at the bit to buy them.

Stop U.S. Tax Dollars From Funding Population Control In China
China's infamous one-child policy has brought forced abortion and sterilization, fines, persecution, and imprisonment to millions of Chinese women. But many people don't realize that a UN agency, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) works alongside the Chinese government to help make this possible.
Our careful research has shown the connection between the United Nations and Chinese population control activities. Our investigators have spent hundreds of hours walking through actual UNFPA counties in China, interviewing villagers and taping testimonies.
We use this testimony to fight the UNFPA's population control activities by hitting them where it really hurts: their pocketbook. According U.S. law, tax dollars cannot be spent to promote forced abortion in other countries. While the UNFPA claims that its activities are free from coercion, we have repeatedly shown that, in China, the UNFPA does precisely that. As a result, working with U.S. lawmakers, we have stripped nearly $800 million dollars from the UNFPA's budget over the years, and turned that money over toward programs that actually help women and families around the world.
But the fight continues. Recent U.S. legislation has re-funded the UNFPA, despite its population control agenda. And the UNFPA continues to promote its agenda not just in China, but all throughout the world.

God's Blessings
This has really helped preserve my sanity and, increase productivity. So much stress/pressure was added to my life the last two years I was ready to give up. After some intense prayer I was lead to include in my evening routine a few minutes to "list" what had made me feel overwhelmed and offer it to God in prayer. When I wake each morning I thank God for His blessings and then still my mind for a moment. I love how He fills it with a clear answer for handling my greatest challenges! It works! Try it!

BREVARD - By the time you are finished reading this article, more than three people will have died as a result of heart disease.
Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of Americans, taking more lives of women than all forms of cancer combined, and accounting for the most infant deaths due to congenital cardiovascular birth defects.
As a result, the American Heart Association has teamed with walkers, donors and volunteers around the nation to fight heart disease by putting on its annual Heart Walk to raise funds supporting research and prevention of heart disease.
This year's 4-mile walk will come to the Space Coast Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 15 at 7:30 a.m. The walk is free, but walkers are eligible for a Heart Walk T-shirt, once they have raised a minimum of $100. The goal of the event is to raise $100,000 locally.
Melbourne resident Shannon Royer, who will participate in the walk as part of HealthSouth Sea Pines Rehabilitation Hospital, said she is exposed to patients with heart disease on a daily basis. This encouraged her to walk to raise awareness about the preventative aspect of cardiovascular complications.
"I see a great number of stroke patients who come through the hospital doors," said Mrs. Royer, who serves as the hospital's marketing coordinator. "The therapy they receive while at Sea Pines is life-changing and nothing short of miraculous, however, it is still tragic that in many cases, strokes are a preventable incident."
Currently, less than 1 percent of Americans meet the American Heart Association's criteria for ideal cardiovascular health, which requires eating a healthy, balanced diet - with at least three daily servings of fruits and vegetables - and participating in moderate exercise for at least 150 minutes per week, among other factors.
"I would be comfortable assuming that everyone knows at least one person affected by heart disease in some form," Mrs. Royer said. "I hope people participate in their loved ones honor, or at the least, come kick-start their own heart healthy lifestyle by walking 4 miles with a huge support team."

Health employment not as strong as it used to be
May 06, 1999
Until the late 1990s, health employment had been a growing share of the private economy. While health services remains among the small group of industries that add large numbers of workers almost every month, employment growth has slowed recently.
[Chart data—TXT]
Although managed care and other cost control strategies were in place by 1992, the impact on employment was limited in that year. Since then, employment growth in health services has slowed. This is in sharp contrast to an acceleration of employment growth among many other services industries.
As the growth rate of health care expenditures has slowed, so has growth in health services employment. Managed care and strong competition have caused a restructuring of the health industry. These changes led to a reduction in inpatient hospital stays and resulted in sharply slower growth of hospital employment. The average annual rate of growth in hospital jobs was 3.6 percent from 1987 to 1992; from 1992 to 1997 it was 0.6 percent.
These industry employment data are a product of the Current Employment Statistics program. For more information see "Health services industry: still a job machine?"Monthly Labor Review, March 1999.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Editor's Desk, Health employment not as strong as it used to be on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/1999/may/wk1/art04.htm (visited September 23, 2014).
