Developers like to know what a city wants and what the rules are. It is not attractive to outside investors to have to seek a variance each time they want to do something a little different. We need to scrap the current zoning plan and totally re-plan Minden to be conducive to modern development while accentuating our lovely charm and character that draws us all here. It's time to share Minden! But first we must decide where we are going by planning and rezoning our city and writing modern standards, which will attract new businesses and housing development.]]>

Mayor receives support from son
In reading Mr. Abler's letter in the March 13 edition of the Brainerd Dispatch I would like to say this:
Thank you, Dad! As your oldest son I thought I would publish my bias up front so my perspective is understood. I am most certainly proud of you. I witness Mr. Abler's letter as a sour grapes attack, from your opponent in the recent election for mayor of Crosslake, who lost without the support of his community.

Meet the Woman Behind Barack Obama's Online Persona
You've most definitely seen it by now. Michelle Obama, wearing a red-and-white checkered dress, stands with her back to the camera. Her arms are wrapped around her husband, the hints of a smile lingering on the edges of his lips. "Four more years," reads the text, which was posted on the Obama campaign's social media accounts around 11:15 p.m. on election night' just as it became clear the president had won a second term.
The photo, taken by a campaign photographer just a few days into the job, pretty much won the Internet: 816,000 retweets, the most likes ever on Facebook; thousands of reblogs on Tumblr. And yet it wasn't chosen by the president's press secretary, or even a senior-level operative, but by 31-year-old Laura Olin, a social media strategist who'd been up since 4 am. For the first time since the campaign ended, she talked to Tumblr, in partnership with The Daily Beast, about what it's like being the voice of the President — where millions of people, and a ravenous press, await your every grammatical error. Excerpts:
So how does it actually work… being the voice of the President? Who makes the decisions about what to post?
All of our decisions were made in house—in Chicago, mostly—so we weren't getting direct directives from the White House or anything. But we [tried] as much as possible to have voices for each account, so depending on the message—because we had all these channels—we had an appropriate place to put it. Obviously some stuff was sufficiently huge so that it went everywhere, but as much as possible we tried to tailor the message for the channel and the audience.
It must be daunting.
It was kind of terrifying, actually. My team ran the Barack Obama Twitter handle, which I think was probably most susceptible to really embarrassing and silly mistakes. We didn't ever really have one, which I still can't believe I pulled off.

Seven staright wins for Clausen crew
By Neil Macdonald
Coach Gary Clausens Borderites picked up their fifth, six and seventh straight NCC baseball victories to complete a week of wins.
The Bs edged Granite Falls 6-5 on April 1 at the Pipe, topped the Tigers 13-5 on April 3 in G-Falls and took an 8-3 triumph from the Cougars in Lakewood on April 5. The wins kept Blaine locked in first place with Nooksack Valley in the NCC, each possessors of a 7-0 record.
With the score knotted 5-5 in the bottom of the seventh and two Borderites aboard in the April 1 game, a Tiger attempt to pick off Blaine runner Ryan Pike turned sour for Sultan, sweet for Blaine. The ball went astray and Pike came home with the winning run. Craig Anderson, who got the win, went 2-for-3, including a double. Kyle Green was 2-for-4 with a RBI and Pike was 3-for-4, with a double and a RBI.
Starter Bob Francis went 3 1/3 innings and struck out five to win the April 3 game for the Borderites. After Anderson opened the tilt with a home run for Blaine, Chris Klemen went 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs; Francis, 2-for-4 with 3 RBIs and a double and Grant Sanders, 2-for-3 with a double.
Sanders contributed considerably to Blaines conquering of Lakewoods Cougars with a pair of home runs and 5 RBIs. Anderson went 2-for-3, drove in 3 runs and added another homer to the Borderite bat barrage. Laird Dickie (2-0) went the distance for the win, scattering four hits and striking out six..
Back to Top
low-medallist twice
Borderite Kevin Farmer carded a 39 to tie for low medalist as Blaine tallied a five-man total of 240 to finish second to Meridians 233 in a three-way NCC golf tourney at Kayak Point on April 2. Lakewood trailed with 267. Other Borderite scores were Doug Goldsby 48, Adam Dolan 48, Kyle Goddard 52, Matt Wiens 53 and Travis Black 56.
Farmer was low medalist with a 1-over 73 as the Borderites dropped a 444-457 non-conference decision to Bellinghams Red Raiders on April 5 at Semiahmoo GCC. Farmers near-par performance included a pair of birdies and was another enviable outing for the Borderite ace. Other Blaine scores: Goldsby 85, Dolan 94, C.J. Stauffer 101, Goddard 104 and Black 112..
Back to Top
3-3 Record for Fastpitch
It wasnt the best of weeks for Blaines fastpitch nine as the Lady Bs went 1-for-3 to go into spring break with a 3-3 record in the North Cascades Conference.
The toughest of the two losses was probably the Nooksack Valley fray on April 5 at NV since it could have gone either way. The Pioneers, however, put two runs across in their half of the seventh to edge the Lady Bs 7-6.
Blaines Alisa Burke went 3-for-4 and hit two doubles and Brandy Johanneesson hit 2-for-4.
Undefeated South Whidbey picked up their sixth straight NCC fastpitch win, defeating Blaine 18-0 on April 3 at the Pipe. Holly Steckler and Krista Walter got the Lady Bs only hits in the tilt.
Blaine strung together five hits, three Sultan errors and 24 walks for their win of the week, defeating the Turks 19-8 on April 1 at Sultan. Steckler went 2-for-4 and Brandy Johanneson hit a two-run double to lead the Lady Bs at the plate. Walter picked up the win.
Trojans edge soccer Borderites
Conference-leading Meridian (9-1) won a 1-0 squeaker over Blaine (4-5) at the Pipe on April 5. It was the second time this season the Trojans topped the Borderites 1-0. The last time was in an Ides of March windstorm at Laurel.
This time the weather was soccer-friendly. The Trojans, however, werent. The moment of truth came at the 16-minute mark of the second half. Meridians Mike Geleynse, chaperoning the ball downfield, circumvented the attentions of two Blaine offenders intent on relieving him of the ball, got into space and promptly put the ball in a corner of the Borderite net.
The Bs continued to come at the Ts, but Meridian keeper Keenan Haak turned an onslaught of goal-bound shots into saves.
Blaines Zach Freeman sank the crucial counter in a shootout with second-place Sultan and GK Eli Dugger made a just as crucial stop of a Turk attempt to tie things back up as Blaine took a 1-0 OT win home from Sultan on April 3.
The win came after Lynden Christian had blanked the Borderites 2-0 on April 1 at the Pipe as Nick Ammons scored a pair of goals for the Lyncs. Ammons initial goal, an unassisted effort, came at the eight-minute mark of the first half. His second, six minutes into the second half, came off an assist from Chad DeHaan.
Schedule Changes
Two Borderite contests, victims of Marchs ill-mannered snit of snow, cold and wind have been rescheduled. The March 19 boys soccer game against Mt. Baker has been re-slated for 3:30 p.m. on April 16 at MB. The March 20 fastpitch tilt against Lakewood has been set for 4:30 p.m. April 19 in LW.
Tri-meet Track Wins for Borderites
Blaine picked up a pair of firsts in a NCC tri-school track and field meet at Blaine High School stadium on April 4. The Borderite boys tallied 80 points to Nooksack Valleys 57 and Meridians 53 to win the boys division, while the Lady Bs scored 86 points to Meridians 61.5 and NVs 31.5 to win the girls division.

Hmm, the raw food diet...

What kind of nutrients can you get by heating though? I now eat only a heated meal perhaps once a day (brown rice or some fish). Can someone explain that to me, please
Posted 14 December 2004 - 04:05 PM
Posted 14 December 2004 - 04:09 PM
Anyway I think this raw food idea is good if you take it with no exageration.
Posted 14 December 2004 - 04:28 PM
Sensitive people cannot deal with the large presence of antibodies in raw food items. Even cows cannot, so they "cook", that is, ferment their food in their stomachs, and birds do something similar in their goiter. It is also difficult to crush the sturdy cell walls of raw foods such as cauliflower, whole grains, pulses, etc. through chewing and make use of the enzymes and nutrients these cells contain, unless, of course, heat breaks down the cellulose. Although raw food may have more nutrients in it than cooked food, it doesn't necessarily get used by the body, especially by Vata and Kapha types whose digestive fire (AGNI) is naturally low. Pitta types with a strong digestion may be able to live of raw foods for a certain length of time in the warmer seaso, but in the long-term their immune systems may also be overtaxed through constant secretion of antibodies needed to fight the plant antibodies (antigens). Heat would naturally destroy these antigens.
Also....just thinking about lycopene, the enzyme in tomatoes that is thought to be a cancer fighter and immune booster, needs to be heated, preferably with oil, in order to be absorbed. That's just an example off the top of my head.

Right but this is the same website that supports your water pinching the sebaceos glands theory thus causing edema in the skin. You've knocked this website down before (despite people's results), yet this is theory that you somewhat (?) adhere to yourself as to a possible reason why drinking water helped clear you.

2012 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor
In 2012, Morocco made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The Government provided specialized training to labor inspectors on child labor; committed funding for projects in several regions, including projects to eliminate the worst forms of child labor in handicrafts and commercial sexual exploitation; implemented programming on trafficking of girls; and conducted research on children working as domestic servants in Casablanca. In addition, the Government began Phase II of the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH), a community-based poverty alleviation program designed to enhance the lives of vulnerable families and children, and continued to invest in education in rural areas through the cash assistance program, Tayssir. Despite these efforts, the Government lacks a coordinating mechanism to combat all worst forms of child labor. Children in Morocco continue to engage in the worst forms of child labor, particularly in hazardous activities in agriculture and domestic service.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY: Monday night, 43-year old Mark Lynch was out on bond. But deputies say they caught him with burglary tools, gloves and a plan to take thousands of dollars worth of copper wire.
Heavy machinery, massive mounds of concrete, and a potential copper wire jack pot are the items that deputies say enticed a burglar.
"We found that someone broke into the building and was prepping to steal lots of copper. I mean we're talking massive," said Robert Carpenter, with the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office.
Carpenter says deputies caught Lynch red-handed inside the concrete plant.
"He had his burglary tools and his gloves on," Carpenter said. "When asked about his gloves, he said, 'Oh, it was cold.'"
But deputies say Sunday afternoon, the temperature was far from cold.
Carpenter explained what Lynch didn't know is that deputies had set up a surveillance system at a few weeks ago after someone broke into the same plant.
Deputies say they were just waiting for the burglar to return.
"Thinking the bad guy may come back again, we set up special surveillance cameras inside that are motion controlled; and sure enough, we got alerted. Cops got there and caught him crawling out of the building," Carpenter said.
Lynch told deputies he just wanted to take a look around the building, but deputies say they think otherwise.
The site has been vacant for more than a year. Owners are hoping to keep bad guys out with no trespassing signs, barbed wire, a chain locked fence and a little help from deputies.
"Bad guys may want to think twice now about going back," Carpenter said.
Lynch is charged with burglary and deputies think he may have been involved with that previous break in.
As of Monday though, he was out on bond and under investigation.

Love these Shorts!
Member since
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I purchased these shorts in the red orange, and I would say they appear to be more of an intense coral color. These shorts are SUPER lightweight, and have an awesome waistband that doesn't slip. A cool feature that's not in the description of this product is there is also a free wax comb in the back pocket ;)
great short

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love a good board short, but hate bad chafing that you get from getting in or out of the ocean and pool. These fit true to size and have a great band at the top that stays on when surfing but doesn't cinch in too tight. I love the material and the cut, I'd recommend these to any girl who frequents the board shorts but hates getting inner thigh chafe!
Does the back pocket have velcro or something...

Does the back pocket have velcro or something to secure it shut?

Yep, it has velcro to hold it shut.

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
Oregon Police are trying
to identify suspects involved in recent thefts from a local Walmart.
The first is a woman who
allegedly stole a computer from the store on Navarre in Oregon Wednesday. Her
two children were with her.
"I think it's really sad
that a woman would take her children into a store and expose them to that
situation," said Sgt. Kelly Thibert of the Oregon Police Department. "I know
that times are hard for people, but really, to involve your children in those
kinds of activities is just a shame."
The woman left in a
vehicle described as a burgundy Ford E 150 van. A "SUNOCO" sticker was seen on
the rear left-side door and a right brake light was out.
The second theft occurred Thursday.
Police say two suspects worked together to steal a computer.
One suspect was a male
wearing a gray baseball hat, jeans, black shoes with blue soles, and a black
and white checkered shirt. The other was a female wearing white shoes, a brown
coat with tan fur around the hood, and jeans.
They left in a gray
minivan that has a broken rear window covered by plastic, a dented bumper, and
is missing a rear tail-light on the passenger side.
Anyone with information on
these suspects is asked to call the Oregon Police Department at 419-698-7062.

Volume 64 Issue 59 wsusignpost.com Friday, March 1, 2002 oThe SngLQpdDS WdDDDDDOQcSSFS pare off Olympic Volunteers from WSU reflect on experiences Tanna Barry editor in chief In a brilliance of light and cheers, the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games came to a close in Salt Lake City, but for many people who volunteered in the event, their experiences will stay with them for a much longer time than the two-week games. Volunteers did everything from help in the games to meet famous celebrities and hang out with the best athletes in the world. "It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said Mandy Medina, who has been the coordinator for Weber State "It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Have you ever seen the sunrise over the top of snow-capped mountains with Olympic flags flying? I hadn't until now." Mandy Medina WSU student government coordinator University's student government for the last two years. "Have you ever seen the sunrise over the top of snow-capped mountains with Olympic flags flying? I hadn't until now." Medina worked for the event services preparation team at Snowbasin during the games. She helped prepare the venue for visitors. She said her experience was "absolutely priceless." Her most memorable experience was when she helped in the concession stand on the first day of the downhill. "Only 20 out of 80 concession stand workers reported for work that day, and they were scrambling to get volunteers that could run the concession stands," she said. She was recruited to run a cash register at the booth. "At 9:58 a man approached me and asked to buy some beer. We were told that we couldn't sell it until 10:00, and no exceptions," she said. "So, I checked the time and told him that he could either step aside and let me assist some one else and then serve him the beer, or he could wait." She said he waited with his hands folded in front of him and a smirk on his face. "I thought it was pretty hilarious," she said. "He fussed about the 'stupid liquor laws' for two minutes. In the meantime I just smiled at him and watched his antics. When the clock struck 10:00 I gave him the beer and wished him a good morning." Medina was just one of many people from WSU who volunteered for the Olympics. The Web site for WSU's media relations department has 94 people listed See Volunteers page 3 Paralympics to have same display of ignited spirit Heather Wheatley features editor The 19th Olympic Games have come to a close. However, for three Olympic venues, the competition is in no way finished. The eighth Paralympic Winter Games of 2002 will begin following a vibrant six days of ceremonies. The Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games may have started with what was called a ceremony and then ended with an irreverent party, but the Paralympic Winter Games will just skip right to the party for the opening ceremony. The "Journey of Fire" will precede the opening ceremony. It will take place March 1, 2, 4 and 5 throughout 16 Utah communities. Each community will create its own Olympic flame and torch that represents that particular community. On March 6, each community will send a piece of their flame in a lantern to be joined with the 15 others at the city county building in Salt Lake City to create the Paralympic flame. The next day, 100 flame carriers will carry that flame past several Salt Lake City landmarks before being brought to Rice-Eccles Stadium to light the cauldron that will remain lighted during the Paralympic Winter Games of 2002. "We will have the same kind of grandeur we had last night in the closing ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games," Joy Kohnken. Paralympic spokesperson, said. "It's going to be phenomenal." The flame carriers were nominated not only for their passion, values and community spirit but also for the way i they represent the Inter national Paralympic , Committee motto , Mind. Body. Spirit.

I lowever, it is March 8 that really matters game time. With just over 7.000 participants, among which include 5.45 volunteers for every athlete and official. This is no small event. Athletes from more than 40 countries are more than ready for their days on the slopes or on the ice sheet. No one can blame them when they are living a dream. "We're here for the gold," Kohnken said. The SLC Paralympic sport program will model that of the 1998 Nagano program. Three sports, four disciplines and 25 events will consume the attention of every athlete for nine days. The three sports are Alpine Skiing. Nordic Skiing and Ice Sledge 1 lockey. Alpine Skiing includes the downhill. super-G, giant slalom and slalom events. Athletes with disabilities use adaptive equipment to be able to play the same sports as other Olympians. "It's the same level of passion, drive and commitment of any world-class athlete," Kohnken said. "The Paralympics is the pinnacle of sports for these athletes. -... Their inspiration is an ' Cf amazing by-product we get to experience." The alpine skiing is divided into categories depending on the disability. Athletes who have a visual impairment will use sighted guides who lead them through the course. Competitors with single-leg amputations use a single ski. ski crutches or orthopedic aids. Competitors with double-leg amputations use a sit-ski (mon ski). Those with arm amputations compete in the events without using poles. The nordic skiing contains the biathlon for men and women and the cross country events. The biathlon contains a course of 2.5 kilometer legs. In between each leg are mounted air guns used by competitors to shoot the targets. A sound system is used to aid visually-impaired competitors by indicating when to fire. The cross country events are divided into three categories: sitting, visually impaired and standing. The cross country events are the only sport on the program to include athletes with an intellectual disability. Ice sledge hockey is similar to ice hockey in both game play and excitement. The only difference is that competitors sit on sledges with two blades Soo Spirit page

As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

A strong brand and a top employer
Attention-grabbing headlines are used to illustrate with humor and self-confidence what defines a career at Henkel: facing new challenges every day, a variety of tasks and the aspiration to achieve excellence.
In launching its employer branding campaign, Henkel is positioning itself as the employer of choice for potential new staff members. "Henkel wants to attract the most talented people worldwide – and, naturally, also wants them to stay with the company," explains Jens Plinke, who is responsible for employer branding at Henkel. The photos and videos used in the campaign deliberately feature Henkel staff, thereby reinforcing the employees' identification with and loyalty to the company. The campaign involves ten international Henkel employees – from a female marketing manager from Italy to a production foreman in Germany. "After all, who can communicate more effectively than our own employees that Henkel is an exciting and innovative company?" asks Jens Plinke.
Professionally produced
The campaign will be used consistently throughout all HR communication measures worldwide, for instance on Henkel's career websites, in job advertisements and on banners and posters in conjunction with university activities and campus exhibitions. Online advertisements will include a direct link to a video of the given Henkel employee. Plinke reports, "When producing the campaign, we ensured the highest standard of professionalism in everything from image analysis using the 'Limbic Map' neuro-marketing tool to the campaign visuals." Taking their places behind the camera were celebrity photographer Gabriele Oestreich-Trivellini, known as GABO, and the well-known German film director Clarissa Ruge.
Henkel: Germany's Top Employer 2011
Numerous external awards have confirmed that Henkel offers an international, attractive working environment. For example, in March 2011, the company was recognized for the second time in succession by the CRF Institute as "Germany's Top Employer". And in international terms, too, Henkel counts among the most admired companies: in the latest ranking of the 'World's Most Admired Companies' published by the American Fortune magazine, Henkel is rated fifth in the world in the 'Soaps and Cosmetics' category.

Hockey Canada is making full use of the new extended deadline by the International Ice Hockey Federation to submit its roster for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi and will announce its men's roster on Tuesday, Jan. 7 at Noon et/9am pt.
After appeals from some top European participants - namely Russia, Sweden, Finland and the Czech Republic - last week, the National Hockey League, NHL Players' Association and the IIHF agreed to move the date to Tuesday, Jan. 7.
The new date gives countries extra time to take injuries into account, like Canada is doing with Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos's broken tibia.
USA Hockey will move forward with plans to announce both its men's and women's Olympic hockey teams on Jan. 1 as part of the Winter Classic.
The 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi run from Feb. 7 to Feb. 23 and the preliminary round of the hockey competition begins Feb. 12.

Still the king of search ads, with no end to its reign in sight, Google Google has for years tried to diversify into display ads, the pictorial banners that support most Web sites. Despite those efforts, Facebook has zoomed into the lead in display ads. But with the rapid growth of Google's own display ads on partner sites, its YouTube service, and Android phones has some forecasters predicting the search giant will capture the lead next year.
Neal Mohan, Google's VP of display advertising, shed some light on what's coming next in display for Google at Federated Media Publishing's Signal SF conference this morning in San Francisco. Here are the highlights of his talk with Federated Media Founder and Executive Chairman John Battelle, author of The Search who also writes the seminal Searchblog:
Q: What about the controversy about Google going around the privacy protections of the Safari browser to put a cookie on people's machines?
Mohan: We announced a few months ago we'd be placing +1 buttons on ads on our display network to people who are signed into Google and opted into advertising. So we chose to use a known workaround in Safari to make a temporary connection to do this personalization. Because of that, it also opened the door for our general third-party ad serving technology, the DoubleClick cookie, to be placed. That was an unintended consequence. Really, the intent was to honor our users' intention to opt in to this kind of personalization.
Q: Who's right, the choices people make for the browser or choices they make for the services on it?
Mohan: We tried to honor what our users wanted in the signup process.
Q: Google's brand has taken a bit of a bruising, a lot of it from taking a very focused attempt to make Google+ work and integrate it with everything. Why?
Mohan: Our focus is on our users. We know that we can make our products a lot better when we know something about our users. For example, if they're searching for travel a couple of months out and we can see conflicts from what's on their calendar, we can surface that. Our efforts to personalize our services based on that type of information is not limited to Google+. It's across all of these services, because we know that's what makes our products dramatically better for users.
Q: I would like it if I could see Instagram photos when I'm on Google. Or Facebook Facebook. But it seems the only way we can do that now is if you do a deal with Facebook. Can we flip that model to give control to users?
Mohan: All the parties involved need to ascribe to that. Just Google doing that won't solve the problem.
Q: You're pretty big, though, wouldn't it help?
Mohan: [Same answer.]
Q: It feels like Google is being put into a walled garden.
Mohan: I wouldn't put it that way. Google from its earliest days has been about the open Web. It's a core tenet.
Q: I stumble on that when I see that in search results, we see only Google+ as social results.
Mohan: We are not the only party in those relationships. I'll leave it at that.
Q: You've got quite a stack [of ad technologies]. Are there still holes in your offerings?
Mohan: The progress has been dramatic. Real-time bidding didn't even exist a few years ago. As for big unsolved problems: Measurement. But how do we get from $25 billion to $50 billion in online ads to $300 billion to $400 billion? Measuring the efficacy of digital marketing. This is a big area of focus in 2o12 and subsequent years.
Q: Will preroll always be the main ads for YouTube? It feels very unGoogley.
Mohan: I think we can get past that. Every advertiser would say they don't want an interruptive experience that doesn't bring some value or emotional experience for users. TrueView allows users to skip ads. Advertisers are willing to pay dramatically more for views that are real (not skipped).
Q: Can clicks apply as a signal of intent to display advertising as well as search?
Mohan: Yes. The click is one aspect. There are other signals that tell us about the usefulness of ads. There's a whole slew of other signals you can use because they're on this bigger canvas, including direct signals from our users.
Q (from the audience now): What is the atomic unit of Google display ads?
Mohan: It depends on the context of the user. On YouTube, the atomic unit is something that incorporates video. Across the Web on our display network, the challenge is the hardest. Every single Web site is different.
Q: When are you going to have ads running in Google+?
Mohan: Can't say.
Q (audience): Does Google have a different methodology for measurement than others out there?
Mohan: We think there are some unique capabilities that we can bring to the market. Not to replace others out there in the market, but to supplement them to make them dramatically more actionable.
Q (audience): There are so many ways to advertise with Google that it can get confusing.
Mohan: I do hear that. We'd like to get better about that. We'd like to give more systematic recommendations across channels. We are working very hard at that. It's very related to the measurement.

Hi. My name is Karen O'Connor and my husband, Kevin, and I own Red Rooster Quilts. Our quilt shop is locate in beautiful Dublin, Ohio home of the Memorial Golf Tournament and now playing the President's Cup Golf Tournament. We have over 3500 bolts of fabric and 100+ samples on display. Please visit us when you are in town or shop on line at www.redroosterquilts.com. This is my first recipe on Moda Bake Shop and I am so excited! I love fall and Halloween and I think I have more quilts and decorations for those seasons than any other season. I hope you enjoy this little spider web quilt.
4 - The Boo Crew Mini Charm Packs by Sweetwater + 1 extra purple spider print 2" square
1/4 yard of Moda Solid black #9900 99
1/4 yard of Boo Crew Tricky Orange #5512 21 for binding
3/4 yards of Boo Crew The Bash Green # 5510 13 for backing
1 craft size batting
1 - 2 1/2" square Olfa ruler #QR2S
1 - Sewline Fabric Mechanical Pencil green
Best Press
Quilt Basting Spray by Sullivans
Aurifil thread
Open one mini charm pack at a time. You will need 36 of the charms. Cut each 2 1/2" square in half on the diagonal. I like to carefully open the pack and leave them stacked neatly. I choose about 6 charms at a time to cut. You can choose however many you are comfortable with.
Sometimes the corners are not very well defined. Just do your best to center the ruler and slice. We will be trimming them up later so it's not that critical that you get the exact center.
Layout your triangles like this. It's not critical that you put the same prints in the exact same spot as I did. What does matter are the purples. If you want your purples to be all the same in the center then you need to place the purple spiders in the same spots as I did.
Sew each pair of triangles together with a scant 1/4" seam allowance.
A perfect 2" block! Love it when that happens.
Continue to sew the triangles together and square them up to 2". Sew the blocks together into rows then sew the rows together to make this block: Make 4 blocks total.
Sew one 2" x 9 1/2" strip to the 2" purple block. Then sew the other 2" x 9 1/2" to the other side. Sew this strip to the blocks in the center.
Sew the 2" x 20" strip to each side.
Sew the 2" x 23" to the top and bottom. Spray the entire quilt top with Best Press and press.
Layer with your batting and backing. I like to use the Sullivans quilt basting spay. I lay my backing down, wrong side up and spray. Then I fold my batting in half and lay the fold down in the center. I smooth the half down that is on the backing. Then I fold the other half over and smooth it down. Repeat with the top.
I drew a diagonal line with the Sewline fabric mechanical pencil down the center of each color to make squares. I sewed on the line with black thread. You can see the quilting better on the back:
Makes one little quilt ~23" square. It would be great as a center piece on your table with a basket of candy or a vase of flowers or with a candle. Makes a great addition to your Halloween décor!

In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

"If you live to be a hundred, I want to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you." A sign on my desk at home quotes these words of wisdom from the great philosopher Winnie the Pooh. And words of comfort to a man whose best friend once promised him she will outlive him.
I can close my eyes each night when I go to bed knowing that in the morning before I get out of bed I can start my day with a kiss and the peace that my best friend will be right next to me as my new day begins.
By Jesus L. Lopez
Created by territorial law in 1889, the New Mexico State Hospital opened its doors in May 1893, and since that time has been the mainstay of the Las Vegas economy. In recent history, the number of employees at the Hospital has hovered at about 1,000, and few in this area have not had one or more family members employed there. Needless to say, the area economy may not have survived through the years without the State Hospital.
No shame in standing up for beliefs
There should be an inalienable understanding that the "Fiestas" are in celebration of our people, our talents, our accomplishments. It is fitting that our Vegas All Stars, Little Leaguers, veterans, school clubs, civic organizations, Fiesta royalty and our nearby communities be celebrated.
Our attention should not be diverted from the greatness of community by an undeserved slap in our faces by Alfonso Ortiz's poor judgment again.
Many people have fond, nostalgic recollections of an era of railroads in their home town. They recall the familiar whistle, waving to riders and — if they're old enough — the sooty residue that belched out of the line's smokestacks.
Residents of the streets closest to the Amtrak line, Railroad, Pecos and Commerce, doubtless remember the coal-operated engines that left ashes in their yards.
It's heartening — but I certainly won't say humbling — to have received a number of comments on the last few Works of Art, describing observations from countries such as the Czech Republic and Austria, during the two weeks-plus we spent there with family.
"Humbling" is the wrong word. It connotes a feeling of humiliation, as if some of my observations were ridiculous.
But let's drop the humility and discuss instead the reactions of some people to the articles about Prague and Hallstatt.

Framed by the tree-spotted foothills of Vermont, Rocky Ridge Golf Club's 18-hole course unfurls across a verdant expanse of rolling farmland. Throughout the course, elevated fairways and greens offer breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding mountains, as well as a safe lookout from which golfers can detect rival armies of croquet players. Flower beds and rocky outcrops along short-grass corridors further accent the layout's bucolic environs. Clubbers looking for lessons can seek out golf pro Ed Coleman, who roams the grounds in a zen state attained through 20 years of coaching experience and aromatherapy that uses the odor of freshly mowed fairways. Cozy, green-side seating and tables nestled in shaded porches await golfers for post-round relaxing at the clubhouse restaurant.
Kelly "Kel" Rossiter résumé includes time at a corporation, in the military, and at a Zen monastery, but the work experience most relevant to his current job took place outside. He has led outdoor trips in 12 countries on four continents—and as the owner of Adventure Spirit, he continues these trips in the Northeast US. He and his team of guides oversee ice-climbing, mountain-climbing, and rock-climbing adventures throughout the region, from New York's Adirondack Mountains to Vermont's Bristol Cliffs. Their trips include expert guidance and all necessary gear, which saves climbers the hassle of making their own ropes from the hair that grows on untended rock faces.
Boston Brew Tours immerse visitors in the city's beer culture while introducing palates to award-winning pilsners, IPAs, and stouts. Each outing takes roughly five hours as the guides?all homebrewers themselves?transport small groups to notable breweries and beer bars throughout the city. These stops can include opportunities to visit local nanobreweries as well as the suds-producing hubs of nationally renowned brands such as Night Shift Brewing, Idle Hands, Mystic and many others. Over the course of each tour, guests will be able to sample tastes of more than 12 different beers and enjoy a beer-focused lunch, all while learning about the evolution of brewing over the centuries.
For Petra Cliffs owners Steve and Andrea Charest, purchasing the climbing and bouldering school wasn't just a good business opportunity, but a way to add value to the local climbing community. Avid climbers themselves, they helped the facility develop into a place where beginners feel comfortable grabbing their first grips, but also one where advanced climbers and boulderers still feel challenged. Within the 8,500-square-foot space, visitors can climb, take lessons, tackle a high-ropes course, or even work out on strength-training equipment. Of course, the staff puts safety and knowledge above all else, and they teach and keep up with professional development courses so they don't miss learning about new protocols or new rock formations that may have evolved in the last five years.
Spanning 140 feet and welcoming up to 424 shipmates, the Spirit of Ethan Allen III stages public and private cruises along Lake Champlain's shoreline in prime view of the Adirondack and Green Mountain ranges. Furnished with heating and air conditioning, each of the ship's three decks seat guests for an array of occasions, including luncheon cabaret shows, brunches, dance parties, and murder-mystery dinners all fueled by the ship's executive chef. The captains disclose historical tidbits and folklore during daily narrated scenic cruises and remain quiet during nightly sunset cruises to let guests groove to background music, sip on spirited beverages, and fill out long-overdue tax forms.
The story of the United States Navy begins on Lake Champlain. The year was 1776, and the fledgling American Revolution seemed doomed to failure almost before it began after a naval retreat to the town known today as Whitehall, New York. Then the Continental Congress issued a command on June 17 of 1776 "to build, with all expedition, as many galleys and armed vessels as ... shall be sufficient to make us indisputably masters of the lakes Champlain and George." By August, eight new gunboats were afloat on the lake—just in time to face the British in the Battle of Valcour.
That story and hundreds more come to life in the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum's collection of more than 15,000 artifacts, images, and documents. Visitors can marvel at the massive 10' x 8' rudder of the steamboat Champlain II, and explore her shipwreck in real time using a remote-operated vehicle. In the Hazelett Watercraft Center, the 111-year-old ice yacht Storm King towers over 90 dugouts, bark canoes, kayaks, rowing skiffs, and sailboats. But the core of the museum is the Key to Liberty exhibit, where visitors can read eyewitness accounts of the Battle of Valcour and marvel at a 9-foot scale model of a gunboat. On fair days, the full-size gunboat replica Philadelphia II sets sail, giving passengers a glimpse of a distant era without the bother of going though a time machine broker first.

with little booties this Fall and can't stop adding them to my collection.
I just got the the 'Mary Margaret Olive Leather Boots'
from the Indigo by Clarks line and they are so cute and comfortable.
What I like most is that they come up a little higher and they cover my leggings nicely.
Some of the shorter booties hit right at the end of my leggings so I have to becareful
and make sure my black socks cover and hold them down. No need to worry with
these booties though!
I also love these because I can wear them all day long and my feet don't get sore
or tired. I wear them all day at work or even to go shopping in, like today :)
Look at how cute my hubs is... We're thinking about having him do

Insiders Are Bullish About These 4 Dividend Stocks
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Empirical studies show that stock investors who mimic insiders can outperform the market by as much as 7 percentage points. This estimate is based on the assessment of stock market returns over the past fifty years. Mimicking insider purchases is advantageous because it is a strategy based on actions that are a result of well-informed decisions of individuals who have an intrinsic knowledge about the companies whose stocks are purchased and about the firms' broad competition.
In the month of October, there have been several noteworthy insider purchases of dividend-paying stocks. Some of the dividend payers reporting insider activity include the banking giant, Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC), a semiconductor equipment maker, Applied Materials (NASDAQ: AMAT), an asset management firm, BlackRock (NYSE: BLK), and a women's specialty retailer, Limited Brands (NYSE: LTD). These four companies are well-known large-cap players, paying dividend yields above that of the 10-year Treasury bond and above or on par with that of the S&P 500 index.
Wells Fargo & Co.
By asset size, this bank is the fourth largest in the United States. It pays a dividend yield of 2.6% on a low payout ratio of 28%. Its competitors JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) and Bank of America (BAC) are yielding 2.9% and 0.4%, respectively. JP Morgan was also popular among insiders when it was trading around $33. It gained 25% since those purchases. Over the past five years, Wells Fargo's EPS expanded at an average annual rate of 2.7% per year. After a cut in May 2009, the bank's dividend has increased 4.4 times. Analysts forecast Wells Fargo's EPS growth to average 8.7% per year for the next half decade. The bank beat analysts' EPS expectations in its third quarter, with EPS growing 23% over the past year to a new record. The vibrant mortgage refinancing and purchase activities have been fueling growth at this bank. Improving credit quality has also boosted earnings performance. Still, as is the case with the U.S. banking industry at large, Wells Fargo reported a drop in net interest margin amid a continued low interest rate environment due to the Fed's expansionary monetary policy. In the future, the bank is expected to continue to benefit from the rebound in the housing market. The stock has a ROE of 12.7% and return on invested capital [ROIC] of 6.2%. As regards its valuation, the stock trades on a price-to-book ratio above the average for its respective industry. The stock is up 27% over the past 12 months.
On October 17, one of the company's Directors, Stephen Sanger, purchased 10,000 shares of Wells Fargo at an average price of $33.96 per share. Currently, the shares are trading at $33.70 per share. The stock is also Warren Buffett's favorite investment in the financial services sector. It constitutes the second largest holding or 18.5% of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio. Value investor Ken Fisher is also bullish about Wells Fargo.
Applied Materials
This $13.2-billion manufacturer of semiconductor equipment is paying a dividend yield of 3.3% on a payout ratio of 43%. Its rival Lam Research Corporation (LRCX) is not paying any regular dividends, while competitor KLA-Tencor Corporation (KLAC) is paying a dividend yield of 3.4%. Over the past five years, Applied Materials' EPS and dividends grew at average annual rates of 8.4% and 9.1%, respectively. Analysts forecast that its EPS will expand at an accelerated rate of 9.7% per year for the next five years. While its EPS growth is expected to accelerate in the long term, the near-term performance is challenged by several headwinds. In the previous quarter, Applied Materials' revenue dropped 16% year-over-year, while earnings plunged 54%. Back in March 2012, Gartner, an IT research firm, predicted that worldwide semiconductor manufacturing equipment spending would drop nearly 12% in 2012 before rebounding by a double-digit rate of 10.5% in 2013, when spending is projected to total $43 billion. This scenario could be questioned given the extended weakness in the sector. In 2014, manufacturing equipment spending is expected to grow by mid single digits. It is forecast to decline again in 2015. Applied Materials has a free cash flow yield of 11.5%, ROE of 12.8%, and ROIC of 10.5%. On a forward P/E basis, the stock is trading at 19.8x, compared to Lam Research's 13.7x and KLA-Tencor's 11.7x. The stock is down 10.4% over the past 12 months.
On October 5, a company's Director, Robert Swan, purchased 8,890 shares at an average price of $11.22 per share. Currently, the stock is trading at $10.69 a share. Fund managers Sandy Nairn (Edinburgh Partners) and Charles De Vaulx (International Value Advisers) are the largest hedge fund investor in the stock.
This $32-billion asset manager pays a dividend yield of 3.2% on a payout ratio of 46%. Peers T. Rowe Price Group Inc. (TROW) and State Street Corporation (STT) are paying lower dividend yields of 2.1% and 2.2%, respectively. Over the past five years, Blackrock's EPS and dividends grew at average rates of 26.2% and 19.3% per year, respectively. EPS growth is forecast to average 12.5% per year for the next half decade. Recently, the company reported third-quarter financial performance, featuring a 4.3% increase in revenues and a 15% jump in net income from the same quarter the year earlier. Top line growth was driven by investment advisory services while earnings were helped by lower operating expenses and gains on investments. Assets under management totaled $3.67 trillion as of September 30, 2012, up 9.8% year-over-year. Growth in assets under management was supported by higher net inflows, market valuation gains, investment performance, and the acquisition of Swiss Re Private Equity Partners. The company's ETFs saw inflows of $25 billion in the quarter. The company is cutting fees to compete better with rivals, which will take a bite out of its margins. The firm boasts ROE of 9.2% and ROIC of 7.1%. As regards its valuation, the stock has a forward P/E of 13.0x, which is below the average ratio for its respective industry and lower than 17.4x for competitor T. Rowe Price Group. Rival State Street has a forward P/E of 10.6x. The stock is up 24.4% over the past year.
On October 18 and 19, one of the company's directors, James Grosfeld, purchased a total of 300,000 shares at an average price of $190.45 per share. He directly owns over 400,000 shares and about 100,000 indirectly. The stock is now trading at $187.05 a share. BlackRock's stock is also popular with billionaire and value investor Ken Fisher, who initiated a new position in the stock in the second quarter.
Limited Brands
This $14-billion women's retailer of specialty apparel, beauty and personal care is best known for its brands of Bath & Body Works and Victoria's Secret. The company pays a dividend yield of 2.1% on a payout ratio of 42%. For comparison, its rival Hanesbrands Inc. (HBI) does not pay any dividends, while Gap (GPS) and LVMH Moet Hennessy (LVMUY) pay dividend yields of 1.4% and 2.4%, respectively. Over the past five years, Limited Brands' EPS grew at an average annual rate of 10.1% per year. Analysts forecast that the company's EPS growth will accelerate to an average rate of 14.5% per year for the next five years. The regular quarterly dividends have increased 67% since the fourth quarter of 2010. Last month, the company paid a special dividend of $1.00 per share (equivalent to the current annual dividend). The company recently posted earnings that beat analyst expectations and upped its outlook based on strong sales at its flagship stores. The stock boasts a ROE of 38.5% (five-year average) and ROIC of 17%. Limited Brands has a forward P/E of 15.6x, which is a 4% premium to its respective industry's ratio of 15.0x. Competitor Gap Inc., with a forward P/E of 16.2x, is trading at a premium to Limited Brands, while Hanesbrand, with a forward P/E of 10.4x is trading at a deep discount. Limited Brands' stock has gained 12.2% over the past 12 months.
On October 2, the company's Director, Michael Morris—who is also a Director at Alcoa (AA) and Hartford Financial Services Group (HIG) as well as Chairman and retired President and CEO of American Electric Power Company, Inc. (AEP)—acquired 10,110 shares of Limited Brands at an average price of $49.43 per share. The stock is now trading at $48.34 per share. The stock is also popular with hedge fund manager Doug Silverman (Senator Investment Group), who initiated a new position in the stock in the second quarter. Among hedge fund managers, Donald Chiboucis (Columbus Circle Investors) holds the largest stake in the stock.

Alzheimer's Disease (cont.)
Health Tools
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
The cause of Alzheimer's disease isn't clear. It's likely that there are several causes. Alzheimer's disease causes changes or deterioration in certain areas of the brain that control thinking, communication, and behavior. Some of the deterioration may be related to a loss of chemical messengers in the brain (neurotransmitters)—acetylcholine, in particular—that allow nerve cells in the brain to communicate properly.
Some theories have suggested that metals, such as zinc or aluminum, play a role in Alzheimer's disease. But research hasn't found much evidence to support these theories. Experts agree that there is no reason to leave zinc out of your diet or to avoid items that contain aluminum, such as cooking utensils or soda pop cans.

The summer of 2011 did not inspire much confidence about the immediate future:
- Stagnant job growth and lowered GDP numbers,
- U.S. debt downgraded after a nasty debt-ceiling battle,
- Several eurozone countries in crisis and world financial markets roiling,
- London burning after deep UK budget cuts that point to a growing wealth divide, and
- Back at home, raging tropical storms in the east and catastrophic wildfires in the west.
The once-common assumption that living conditions and economic opportunities will improve for each new generation now seems dubious. It's depressing stuff with no easy solutions. Where to find some inspiration for how to move beyond current challenges and plan for a better future? British economist Diane Coyle offers some ideas on how to get started in her new book, The Economics of Enough: How to Run the Economy as if the Future Matters.
Despite what the title might suggest, this book is no "eco-screed" that trashes traditional economic thought in favor of some rosy, utopian worldview. Far from it: the analysis is rigorous and the arguments well informed by prior research. In fact, the first half of the book feels like a lengthy literature review, and it's a bit of a slog for a non-economist.
But the broad themes the book goes on to explore—addressing the challenges of climate change, high debt levels, income inequality, and deteriorating social capital, all while the economy undergoes technological transformation—are well worth your while. They provide a rich context to assess our present troubles and speak to realistic ideals for how to face the future.
The critical question posed in this book is what legacy we intend to leave behind—what is "enough" for us to consume today so that we don't leave an unsustainable burden of environmental, social, and economic debt to future generations. Coyle notes that "current and recent generations in the rich economies have been living beyond their means and will need to correct that by saving more and consuming less." That reality is complicated by what she sees as a breakdown of collective trust and a lack of effective governance in today's society.
A first step in making needed changes involves measurement. Coyle dismisses the notion that a conventional focus on economic growth should be tossed aside in pursuit of a new "happiness" measure, as others have proposed. Indeed, research shows that economic growth contributes greatly to happiness. "What's more," she adds, "poor countries in particular need to continue growing to reduce poverty and satisfy natural aspirations to reach the living standards of the leading economies." As a result, Coyle insists that GDP growth should remain a policy target.
The critical difference in the twenty-first century is how to adequately capture the vast changes in economic growth brought by improved productivity and technological advances. Coyle proposes a wider array of statistics beyond GDP and the existing national accounts. These new, longer-term measures would track social and economic progress, including generational accounting (to capture the burden of future pension and welfare obligations), comprehensive wealth (to bring the future impacts of current policies into decision-making), and productivity in services and other intangibles (to better capture their true economic value). She acknowledges that these measurement changes would take time to gain traction and could be especially difficult to develop in poor economies.
Institutions matter as well, as reflected in what Coyle defines as the currently dysfunctional U.S. political system. She advocates a major restructuring of the public sector in line with changes that have already been integrated into the private sector.
International economic institutions could also bear some major reforming to "embrace a public service mission, openness, and greater direct engagement with the members of the public whose lives they will ultimately affect." Of course, putting the necessary resources and political will behind these sweeping changes would be a mammoth task.
Another daunting challenge is the current extremes of income inequality, which have destabilized large swaths of the globe and are undermining the foundations of future economic dynamism. Coyle advocates attacking this problem through legal and regulatory structures. She suggests using the tax system to drive out excessive bonuses and performance pay, and she takes a pretty hard stab at what she sees as paltry reforms in the banking industry following the financial crisis, calling for the breakup of big banks. What her analysis lacks, though, is the obvious need for lower-skilled workers to increase their levels of education and training to compete in today's high-tech workplace.
Coyle also calls for savings incentives to spur economic growth. Some of these are happening already—such as making people opt out of, rather than opt into, retirement savings plans. Replacing the progressive income tax with a consumption tax would discourage excessive spending, she says, and could also discourage the use of high-carbon products and services. Interestingly, where the consumption tax was once championed mostly by commentators on the right side of the political spectrum, it is now being considered by the left as a way to halt over-consumption of scarce resources. Businesses, too, would need to change their perspectives, adopting a longer time horizon than the traditional two-year investment cycle.
Cuts in entitlement spending are inevitable to halt insurmountable debt burdens, and they are bound to be painful. Coyle suggests engaging citizens more directly in public policy through the internet to improve "transparency and legitimacy in decision-making and offer a defense of policy decisions against lobbying and legal gaming."
Still, tough changes that include longer work horizons, less time off, and reduced pensions will become a reality. Those changes are made even tougher by what Coyle perceives as a lack of collective trust that we can actually harness the measures, values, and institutions we need to avoid ripping apart the social capital that holds society together.
If market capitalism is to deliver social well-being that speaks to the welfare of future generations, the most important ingredient will be the attitudes of individuals. I am reminded of President John F. Kennedy's remarks to the students at American University in June 1963, just a few months before his death: "Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."
While idealistic in its scope, Diane Coyle's book helps us think about some specific ways to make "the economics of enough" work for both today and tomorrow.

How Moms Can Make the Most of Baby and Toddler Naptime
Plan for Short, Medium, and Long Naps
Not all naps are created equal. When time is short, spend your energy strategizing according to the amount of time you have, says Pantley. "If your child's nap is short I'd suggest using this time to create a to-do list for the day/week/month. That's one thing that can keep you grounded and more peaceful all the rest of the day."
If naptime is a little longer, tackle the things that are hard to do with little ones underfoot. Says Pantley, "Save tasks you can do with a little 'helper' for when your child is awake."
What do real moms do? Here are some suggestions based on nap length:
