Christmas cookies and Holiday hearts… I just love this time of the year with all of the beautiful decorations and gatherings. This year will be a bit sad. I know that I will miss Aunt Dot. She did love shopping, cooking and getting ready for the Holidays. I would always go to Atlanta to spend some time with her during the holidays and boy would we have fun! Phil could not keep up with us. Enjoy the Holidays with friends and family members that you love. I will say once again, "Life is so short, live each day to its fullest!"
The Gingerbread House event at The Viking Store in Atlanta with Aunt Dot and our cousins has been an annual tradition for years. Since the girls and I did not get to go to Atlanta to make a Gingerbread House we just did the CANDY COTTAGE in Albany! It is on the dining room table as a magnificent centerpiece for the holidays! Things have changed in my life – there is a void, but a lot of beautiful memories. Making cookies for the Cookie Swap is a must and that tradition has to go on! The girls have the aprons that our dear friend, Peggy Guillebeau, gave them when they were little. They ask every year about the aprons when we start talking about the Cookie Swap. Start a family TRADITION this year, if you have not already started something!!
"Bubbles! Let's get May to print an invitation for the Cookie Swap", both of the girls squealed! We rushed to Itty Bitty to select an invitation. Itty Bitty has tons to choose from and after careful deliberation, the Snowman was chosen. Good choice GIRLS!! All of the info was given and we waited for the invites to be printed. Guest list made, envelopes addressed and our cookie list was selected along with the grocery list! Of course, the party would be held at Bubbles' and Phil's house. We both love the children and their friends filling our house with laughter. What a blessing!
The best part of a Cookie Swap is that you leave with a bag full of goodies. Carson eats all of the icing off of the Holiday Cookies and gorges herself on anything that is chocolate. She is definitely kin to my side of the family with the chocoholic addiction!! My Daddy loves chocolate and Aunt Dot loved it as well. Carson and Phil even have their hiding places for their chocolate stash!!!
Collins and I found ornaments at the Dollar store for everyone that was invited. We also found the perfect bags for the guests to pack their cookies in to take home. You will see.
I will share some of the recipes with you that are our favorites. Hope that you will enjoy making these with your children and grandchildren. Our Grandson, Kiran lives in California. I do hope that he will be able to share in one of the annual Cookie Swaps in the years to come. If he cannot get to Albany to decorate cookies, we will just pack up the cookbooks and cookie cutters and go west to have a party for his friends!
"Krisp Kringles" Dipped in White Chocolate
2 Tablespoons margarine
6 cups of Christmas red and green rice cereal (This is a seasonal item)
6 cups of miniature marshmallows
1 package Vanilla CandiQuik candy coating
Prepare a 9 x 13 inch pan by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray. In a large saucepan, melt margarine over low heat. Add mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and add cereal, stirring to coat evenly. Spread in prepared pan using a buttered spatula. Cool and cut into squares. A 2 x 2 inch square is a good size. Insert a kraft stick into the square. Follow the directions on the CandiQuik package for melting. Dip the Krisp Kringles into the candy coating and sprinkle with Holiday sugar before the coating dries.
Fill a candy jar partially full with Gum Drops and arrange the Treats in it for serving. The Gum Drops help to hold the Krisp Kringles in place. You can also tie a pretty ribbon around the top of the jar.
Rene Rene, my mother actually made these and they were a hit!
Aunt Peggy's Old Fashioned Tea Cakes
These are fun for the children to roll out and cut!
½ pound butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond flavoring
Cream butter and sugar; add well beaten eggs. Sift flour, cream of tartar and baking soda together. Add the dry ingredients to butter, sugar and egg mixture. Add vanilla. Roll thin and cut with a biscuit cutter or holiday cutter. Bake at 350 degrees on an ungreased cookie sheet until light brown. Remove from pan and cool on a rack. Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
These are delicious! Aunt Peggy is Paula's Aunt. She lives in my neighborhood and we love for her to come and be with us anytime, especially when there is an activity.
Cream Cheese Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 package (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
½ teaspoon vanilla flavoring
2 ½ cups all purpose flour
On medium speed, beat butter and cream cheese until blended. Add sugar, beat until fluffy. Add egg yolks and vanilla; beat until blended. Beat in flour, ½ cup at a time. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to ¼ inch thickness. Using cookie cutters dipped in flour, cut out cookies, re-rolling scraps. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes to until golden around the edges. Cool on racks.
Royal Icing for Cream Cheese Cookies
On medium-high speed beat 16 oz. confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons meringue powder and 6 tablespoons warm water until glossy and spreadable. If too thick beat in additional water, 1 teaspoon at time. Keep covered with damp paper towels when not in use. Divide icing among separate bowls and tint with assorted food colorings. Makes 2 ½ cups icing.
**If you cannot find meringue powder in the baking section of the grocery store, try a specialty store that carries baking supplies.
*** DO NOT USE FAT FREE CREAM CHEESE! Those cookies will run all over the pan! I actually called Paula when this catastrophe occurred and asked her what in the world could have happened. She had the nerve to ask me if I was using a good recipe. Guess what Sista, it was yours!!! All we could figure out was that I had used the fat free cream cheese. Made it the second time with regular cream cheese and all was well! She reminded me that a recipe is a formula and DO NOT CHANGE the ingredients.
Shirley's Potato Chip Cookies
½ cup margarine
½ cup butter
2 cups all purpose flour
½ cup sugar
½ cup crushed potato chips
½ cup chopped pecans
2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Mix margarine, butter, flour and sugar. Blend in potato chips, vanilla, and nuts. Roll dough into balls the size of a walnut and place on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet. Press down or flatten balls with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in granulated sugar. Bake for 30 minutes.
Shirley Geer is a dear friend of mine and a wonderful cook! Believe me you will have to share this recipe with everyone that sinks their teeth into one of these delicious cookies.
Shep's Cheese Crispies
I cannot give this recipe to you. Susan Geeslin, another friend of mine, uses her Mother's recipe for these "to die for" Cheese Crispies. We always look forward to having these during the holidays, well actually anytime of the year! Susan actually bakes, sells and ships these scrumptious delicacies. Children and adults of every age LOVE these. She is always on the Cookie Swap list. Her email is firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to talk to her about an order. I promise you will not be disappointed!
Holiday Cooler
Polish Granny's silver punch bowl, ladle and wash those punch cups that have been tucked away since last year.
Pour chilled Sprite (you can use Diet Sprite) into the punch bowl. Float a large container of lime sherbet in the bowl. Ladle into cups and YUMMY! You can put a few strawberries in for color.
Time for the Cookie Swap to begin! I do hope that you will give this party a try. All ages have such a great time. There will always be those special memories that you can reminisce about for years to come!
Happy Holidays from our house to yours!
Love and Hugs,
Time to start planning the Christmas Dinner! Have you ever prayed that the oven and dishwasher make it through the holidays???
Paula, I love watching you and your family. I miss seeing your show, I watched you everyday. My son lives in Charleston S.C. He took me to the Lady & Sons to eat. Oh my goodness! People are always telling me that I look just like the cooking lady Paula Deen. I always tell them that you are my hero. May God Bless You

Add a few spoonfuls of parmesan cheese to the flour and cornmeal breading and it kicks the tomatoes up another notch. Bev

I just bought Paula's Peach Salad Dressing and wondered if anyone has a good recipe that they use it in?

Man charged in VFW shooting
HOPEWELL - A Petersburg man is in critical condition after being shot early Sunday morning during a gathering at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10387, located at 206 Winston Churchill Drive.
At 1:49 a.m., police were monitoring a large crowd gathered at the VFW when an altercation broke out. A passenger in a vehicle was shot in the head and torso. Officers responded immediately to the shots and apprehended a suspect at the scene.
Jacory Moore, 23, of Petersburg, was transported to John Randolph Medical Center and then to Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center in Richmond, where he remains in critical condition.
Kentrell Butts, 20, of Hopewell, was charged with aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, reckless handling of a firearm, discharging a firearm in the city limits and discharging a firearm in a public place. He is being held without bond at Riverside Regional Jail in Prince George County.
The Hopewell Police Department is asking anyone who may have witnessed the shooting or any possible altercations that may have occurred inside the VFW to call detectives at 804-541-2284 or the police non-emergency line at 804-541-2222.

An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural
Introduction | "R" Reading | Curse of the Pharaoh | End-of-the-World Prophecies
Index | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | Y | Z
demon (or daemon, from the Greek daimon) A malevolent spirit. Demons are often invisible, but can see, usually have wings and can fly, know the future, can propagate (with other demons or with humans), and can die. Demons come in all sizes, so they can enter and inhabit the bodies of humans and animals, but are inhibited from this by properly-selected charms and they fear fire, water, light, salt, and certain herbs. Sneezing is said to provide a demon with the opportunity of flying up one's nose, thus the expression, "Bless you!" or "Bonne santé!" or "Gesundheit!" as a response to a sneeze. It's not known to help, but it can't hurt.
The Lesser Key of Solomon, the Lemegeton manuscript now in the British Museum, lists seventy-three demons in hierarchial progression, but there are so many other menus to choose from, one is hard put to decide which listing to accept. These head demons, former rebellious angels, bring about storms, shipwreck, earthquakes, and other cataclysms.
Demons, as drawn by Hans Holbein the Younger.
Occultists, with their uncanny wisdom, have estimated that there are 7,250,000 demons currently in action, who are controlled by some seventy-nine higher powers. The hierarchy of demons is as follows:
One emperor
Seven kings
Twenty-four dukes
Thirteen marquis demons
Ten counts
Eleven presidents
There are thirteen other less fancy officers in this court, and the regular common demons are under the control of this royalty.
The Talmud, not to be outdone, declares that there are 7,405,926 demons in existence. The Greek philosophers Porphyry and Thales believed in demons. The Templars, a group of French knights dedicated to protecting Christians on their way to slaughter infidels during the Crusades, adopted the demon Baphomet as part of their strange religious rites, a fact all the more mysterious because the name is a corruption of Mahomet.
Demons are believed to inhabit deserts in preference to most other zones, perhaps favoring the closer resemblance to their home clime.

After years of wooing from Big Finish, Tom finally agreed to reprise his role as the Fourth Doctor for them and Destination Nerva marked his Big Finish debut.
Released in January 2012 and written and directed by Nick Briggs, it featured Louise Jameson as Leela as it takes immediately after the season 14 closer The Talons of Weng-Chiang.
This story sees the Doctor and Leela visit space station Nerva. For the Doctor it is a return visit having been there before in the season 12 stories The Ark In Space & Revenge of the Cybermen. This time around it is in a different time period from the season 12 stories.
As The Ark In Space was at the near beginning of the Fourth Doctor era it seems somehow fitting that for Nerva to be the setting for his Big Finish debut.
Among the guest stars are Raquel Cassidy, who had appeared in the TV series in 2011 in The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People, and Tilly Gaunt, daughter of Revelation of the Daleks guest star William Gaunt.
The menace that is presented here is quite good in this very enjoyable Fourth Doctor Big Finish debut.
The highlight of the accompanying interviews was when Louise Jameson said about Tom telling her about deciding to do the Big Finishes in which she jokingly says that he shouldn't do them as they are awful !

- Mike Komisarek
- Elias Lindholm
- Anton Khudobin
- Andrej Sekera
While the Hurricanes did not add any marquee names this offseason, the acquisitions of Mike Komisarek — who was bought out of his contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs — and Andrej Sekera via a trade with Buffalo could sure up a defense that allowed 159 goals last season, which was second-worst in the league.
The Hurricanes saw firsthand how important a backup goalie is when they lost Cam Ward for the season in March, so they signed Anton Khubodin on July 5. Khubodin spent last season with the Boston Bruins going 9-4-1 as the backup behind Tuukka Rask.
Carolina drafted Elias Lindholm with the fifth overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, and quickly inked him to a three-year, entry-level deal.

I Never Saw that Land Before
[I NEVER SAW THAT LAND BEFORE] by EDWARD THOMAS
I never saw that land before, And now can never see it again; Yet, as if by acquaintance hoar Endeared, by gladness and by pain, Great was the affection that I bore
To the valley and the river small, The cattle, the grass, the bare ash trees, The chickens from the farmsteads, all Elm-hidden, and the tributaries Descending at equal interval;
The blackthorns down along the brook With wounds yellow as crocuses Where yesterday the labourer's hook Had sliced them cleanly; and the breeze That hinted all and nothing spoke.
I neither expected anything Nor yet remembered: but some goal I touched then; and if I could sing What would not even whisper my soul As I went on my journeying,
I should use, as the trees and birds did, A language not to be betrayed; And what was hid should still be hid Excepting from those like me made Who answer when such whispers bid.

James encourages Stephanie not to give up as she is being operated on. Amber informs Ridge and Taylor what happened and Lieutenant Baker informs them Sheila has been out of prison for three weeks after she switched places with another inmate. The lieutenant advises Ridge that Stephanie's condition is not good and he should call the rest of the family.
Brooke helps Bridget with her homework when Bridget wonders if Brooke will warm up to the idea of Rick being a father. After all, Brooke must feel something for the child. Brooke isn't thinking that way since she believes adoption is the only solution. Ridge calls Brooke and reports that Stephanie has been shot. Rick fantasizes about his future with Amber when Brooke informs him of Stephanie's situation and they head to the hospital.
Eric and Thorne arrive as the lieutenant says Sheila escaped with the baby but the police are doing everything they can to find her. The doctor operating on Stephanie gives the Forresters good news: Stephanie is going to be fine. Amber admires how close the Forresters are. Stephanie regains conscious and James informs her that Sheila got away with Mary but he will always be there to protect her.
The rest of the family join James and express their gratitude that Stephanie will be ok. Brooke and her kids arrive and Rick hugs Amber. After Brooke and the kids go in to see Stephanie, Amber experiences some pain and dizziness. The Forresters are surprised when Stephanie says Amber saved her life. Rick goes to get Amber and is shocked to find Amber collapsed on the floor!
Share this story with friends, family or the world.
Rick screams for a doctor to help Amber who has passed out at the hospital. Bridget tells Brooke that Amber passed out. The doctor exams Amber and finds she has a nasty cut on the back of her head as a result of her fight with Sheila. The blackout is caused by internal bleeding and could affect the baby due to the loss of oxygen.
Three Spectra production workers express their concern over the lack of work since Grant has been gone. There hasn't been enough business to produce a spring fashion show with Spectra's head designer in the hospital. C.J. joins the Spectra team and is determined to learn the business from ground up. The workers hate to do this, but with no work, they can not support their families and are forced to quit. Sally tries to explain the setback is only temporary but the workers realize Grant is not coming back and there is only one month until the spring showing. Sally asks to give her two more weeks, but the workers can't afford it. They quit. Darla reports that Sheila escaped from prison and shot Stephanie. Sally, C.J., and Darla head to the hospital.
Lieutenant Baker informs there is still no sign of Sheila but vows to find her and Mary. Brooke informs Stephanie and the rest of the Forresters that Amber has been admitted to the hospital after passing out from a blow to the head. There might be some internal bleeding under the skull and Amber could lose the baby.
Amber's CAT scan shows there has been some internal bleeding but there is not any pressure or swelling so there is no need to operate. Overall, Amber will be fine but until there are more tests run, the jury's still out regarding the baby. The doctor reports the news to Brooke and the Forresters. Rick comforts Amber who is scared to death she might lose her baby. Brooke and Eric hear Amber say how much she loves the baby.
Share this story with friends, family or the world.
Amber fears for her baby's life as Taylor relates to Amber's situation since she almost lost Thomas last year. Taylor advises the best thing Amber can do for her baby is to relax and stay calm. The doctor preps Amber for an ultrasound. The doc doesn't hear a heartbeat so she schedules Amber for a second ultrasound using a machine that is more sensitive. If there is a hearbeat, this machine will be able to pick it up.
Bridget tells her parents it's obvious how much Rick and Amber love each other. Bridget realizes Rick and Amber are young, but what they have is more than a high school crush. Stephanie blames herself for the baby's life being in jeopardy. Amber risked her life defending Stephanie against Sheila and that is something Stephanie will never forget.
C.J. reports to Sally that Amber suffered a concussion and the baby might not make it. C.J. fears for Amber because he knows how much the baby means to her. Sally wonders if Eric and Brooke can't help but feel some relief if Amber did lose the baby.
Amber wonders what she was thinking fighting with Sheila, but Rick urges her not to think the worst. The thought of losing her baby frightens Amber to death. Amber's baby may be dead because of her. Taylor, Eric, Brooke, and Bridget anxiously await the result of the second ultrasound. Taylor reminds everyone to keep a positive attitude. Brooke still can't imagine her sixteen year old son with a child. The doc readies Amber for the ultrasound. Just as Amber is about to give up hope of hearing the baby's heartbeat, Amber is overjoyed when she finally hears the heartbeat. Brooke notices how much the baby means to Amber.

James and Rick take Stephanie and Amber home from the hospital. Stephanie is wearing a left arm sling, otherwise she seems to be doing just fine. James asks Connie if there have been any messages and she sadly tells him that there haven't been any. Amber hopes that Sheila doesn't hurt the baby, but James insists that the one thing he is sure of is that Sheila would never hurt Mary. Just then, Connie comes in after answering the door and tells James that the messenger has brought him a parcel. Opening the envelope, James finds that it is a letter from Sheila.
Bridget joins her parents at the breakfast table telling Eric that she is so happy that he is coming over for breakfast so often. He says that he enjoys it also. When she asks where Rick is, they tell her that Amber was being released from the hospital today and he was taking her to Stephanie's house. Bridget is happy that the baby is okay and says that she knows her parents are happy about that also. She mentions that she saw her mother's face yesterday when the doctor was searching for the heartbeat. She says that Amber is special; she has a certain charisma. Eric says that he wouldn't call what Amber has charisma. What she has has had a negative affect on Rick. Bridget says that the jury is still out on that. Anyway, it isn't the worse thing that could happen to Rick. Brooke tells her daughter that yes, it is the worse thing that could happen to her brother. Bridget says that she knows what her mother was thinking yesterday and she wanted that baby to be alive.
Macy tells Sally that she is going to Mexico City. She has been researching alternative medicines on the Internet and there is a drug down there that has been showing good results with cancer.
Grant is looking awful. He is barely there and he has several days growth of beard. His doctor, Dr. Hughes, comes in saying that the nurse told him that he wanted to see him. Grant looks up at the doctor and weakly tells him that it is time. What do you mean? The doctor asks Grant. Grant tells him that he knows what he means. He wants to be taken off the machines as they discussed earlier. Dr. Hughes is hesitant. He thinks it is too soon and he also thinks that they should talk to Macy about it. Grant says that he doesn't have much time left. "Will you help me go out the way I want?" He asks the doctor.
Stephanie sends Connie to make breakfast then asks James about the letter. He reads it to them. Sheila tells him that his daughter is safe and she will guard her with her life. She will raise Mary to be a responsible adult and she will never let harm come to her. She assures James that she is sane and focused. She has no regrets about anything that happened. She promises that she will tell Mary all about her father; she will make him as real to Mary as if he were there with them. She says that she could not abandon her daughter, especially to Stephanie but neither could she abandon her to James. She pleads with him to stop trying to find her. The longer he searches for her, the more he will prevent Mary from having a stable life since she will have to be constantly moving to keep away from him. Once again she assures him that she will take good care of their daughter. She says that she continues to love James and she is sorry for the pain she has caused him. "In fairness," she tells him, "you brought it on yourself. I trust that Stephanie is with her maker. I am told that there is a merciful God; for Stephanie's sake, I hope so!"
Rick asks if James wants him to call the police but James stops him. Why? Asks Stephanie. James says that he needs some time to think this out. He kisses Stephanie and leaves the house. "Poor James," Amber says. "No, poor Mary," Stephanie says.
Brooke tells Bridget that the baby should never have been conceived but she didn't wish it harm. It is more than that, Bridget insists. "That was not just any baby you were reacting to. Rick and Amber are having your first grandchild. That is why you were freaking out."
The doctor tells Grant that he will have to sign papers for the machines to be unhooked and Grant says that is fine with him. Bring them on, he says. Now it gets interesting. He tells the doctor that he has a suit and tie in the closet and he wants the doctor to help him into it. Then he needs him to order some flowers for his wife. The doctor agrees and goes to get the papers for Grant to sign.
Brooke tells Bridget that she is mistaken. This was just a baby in danger and she was only as concerned for it as she would be for any baby in that situation. She still thinks that the right thing is to put the baby up for adoption. Eric mentions that he thinks that is what her brother should do also; he says that Bridget is romanticizing the situation. Bridget says that Rick was there for Amber; anyone could see that they were in love. Eric tells her that being in love doesn't make Rick ready to be a father. Bridget thinks that since this is Rick's baby, they should have her living there with them. "Do you really want Stephanie raising your first grandchild, Mom?"
Sally tells Macy that if she believes in this new medicine that strongly, she will go with her to Mexico. Macy rushes into her mother's arms, crying. The phone rings and when she answers, Macy hears her husband's voice. He tells her to come right over to the hospital; come as quick as you can, he tells her. Macy says that she will be right there.
Rick kisses Amber good bye and leaves for school. Amber is going upstairs to lay down when Stephanie asks her to come and sit beside her on the couch. She tells Amber that she didn't sleep very well last night. Amber asks if she was in pain but Stephanie says that she was okay; she was just trying to figure out the best way to thank Amber for saving her life. Amber reminds her that she also saved Amber's wife; she didn't have anywhere to go and Stephanie let her stay here with her. "I came to your door step---your worse nightmare---and ended up a blessing in disguise." She tells Stephanie that everyone thinks that all she wants is the money, but that isn't so. Yes, the money is a part of it, but the most important thing is being a member of this family. She loves this family; she looks at them and sees the closeness---something that she has never had---and she wants it for herself and her baby. "If what I did makes you see that I'm not a bad person, then it was worth it." She says that her acceptance into the family begins with Stephanie; she is the engine that runs the family. She can make it possible. Stephanie only smiles as she gathers her in her arms.
C.J. is leaving for school. Sally tells him to take a little time today and say some special prayers for his sister and her husband. She says that she has a feeling that today might make a big difference for them. "Also, ask God to help your sister find the strength to endure what she is going through."
Macy arrives at the hospital and finds Grant laying on the bed dressed in a nice suit and tie with a dressy striped shirt. He has a white rose in his lapel. When Macy looks at him in surprise, he reminds her that she bought this suit for him. He reaches to the side of the bed and hands her a large bouquet of flowers and tells her that she is the best part of him. Macy asks what is going on; are they releasing him today? "In a way, yes," answers Grant. Macy wonders if it is okay for him to come home so soon; he is still weak and sick. "I'm not going home," Grant tells her. "What is going on?" Macy demands. "Why did you need to see me?"

C.J. returns to Sally's office and she asks him what he is doing there; why aren't you in class. C.J. tells her that he is worried about Grant; Grant has been like a big brother to him. He thinks that they should be at the hospital with him but Sally tells him that Macy is there. "I want a chance to say goodbye," C.J. tells her. Sally says that Grant could have another month, even six more months. That is what his sister believes. She tells him that she and Macy are flying to Mexico tonight for a medication that Macy believes will work wonders. C.J. is afraid that Grant might die while they are gone but Sally tells him that Grant would never let that happen!
Grant reminds Macy of the first time he wore the suit that Macy had bought for him. It was the night when they opened the coffeehouse. "You told me I looked like Humphery Bogart, hopping for table to table; we were so happy and it has only gotten better after that." He tells her. Macy tells him that they will have it all back; he will go into remission and they will be at the coffeehouse together just like before. She tells him that there are so many treatments out there; they will go find the one that will work for him. Grant interrupts. He tells her that he has been so fortunate to find a woman like her and to be able to share the past year with her. We will have much longer, Macy says. "That is not for us to say," Grant tells her. "We've had each other as long as we needed one another and for that I am truly grateful." Macy jumps up and tells him that she needs to get the doctor; she wants him to hook the machines back up. "Come here, Sweetheart," Grant says. "I'm done with that; no more machines. Don't look at me like that, Macy." Macy says that she is going to get the doctor. "The doctor can't help me now," Grant says softly. He holds out his hand and Macy takes it. He pulls her close.
Ridge goes to Pierce Peterson's office and peeks in. He calls out for Taylor. When he doesn't get an answer, he slowly comes in and looks around. The office is empty. He looks at the bag of lunch he is holding and hopes that she isn't out to lunch. She walks over to the side table and sees the crystal. He picks it up and holds it while it swings and sways, reflecting the light in multicolor. Just then, Bailey comes in and orders him to put it down. "Well, hello, Bailey Boy," Ridge says in a cheerful but insolent voice. In a hard voice, Bailey orders him out of the office. Ridge tells him to take it easy and calls him "my man." Bailey takes umbrage at this and informs him that he is not his man. "If you call me that again, you will regret it!"
Sally says that Macy loves Grant so much. It is a miracle to find that kind of love. C.J. says that he did what she asked; he said a prayer for Grant and Macy. Sally assures him that God will answer one way or the other. "You think that Grant is going to die today, don't you?" He asks.
Grant asks Macy to sit next to him but she wants to have the IV's hooked back up. She tells him that she has already told her mother not to include them in any holiday plans because they will be traveling. She has heard about a clinic in the Philippines that is doing miraculous work with cancer. "Today is all we have," Grant tells her. "The future doesn't matter; that is never more true than now. Now, no more talking about the future. Treat this moment as if it were the only one that will ever matter."
Macy sits beside him and holds his hand. He tells her that he had an amazing gift of consciousness; every breath was a celebration. But he had more than a gift of consciousness. Earlier he fell asleep and it was the deepest sleep that he has ever had; it was more than sleep, he was halfway there and it was beautiful. It was every bit as fulfilling and wonderful as being awake. He says that he learned something from the experience. Death is nothing to be afraid of. "We come in this world from who knows where and it is truly a miracle. When we are ready, we grow and move on and that is another miracle. Every stage of life is as important and joyful and wonderful as the last and when we are ready to move on to the next stage, we never want to go back. Macy, I want to move on. I'm ready to move on."
"I'm here for you, Grant," Macy says with tears streaming down her face. Grant tells her that he hopes those are tears of joy for him and his new adventure. "Now, will you show me the best part of you? Will you show me one of your beautiful smiles?" Macy struggles through her tears to give Grant a smile and she finally succeeds. Grant is happy to see her smile. "Now, sing for me----Please!"
"You are an animal, Ridge!" Bailey says. "That is the only way I can describe you." Ridge feigns fright! "What are you going to do, Bailey, spit on me? If I am such an animal I wonder why Taylor married me."
"As do I Ridge, as do I!" Bailey answers.
Ridge tells him that the reason he can't see that he and Taylor belong together is that he and his boss are so caught up with themselves and their self-importance. They are victims of their own runaway egos. Bailey laughs and says Taylor is able to see beyond those egos to see the wonderful man behind them. "Ah!" Ridge says as he sees the light. "I see now. Your black heart hopes that Taylor will show an interest in Pierce Peterson." Ridge says that they get Taylor so wound up here at work that it takes him hours to get her relaxed once she gets at home. Bailey says that it isn't easy for Taylor to go home every night to a husband who mocks the work that she believes in but Ridge denies that he mocks Taylor's work. But he does worry that some dishonest people with no moral values will take advantage of her. But he warns Bailey that if that ever happens, Taylor will be out of there and it won't be his decision it will be hers. "There is no chemistry between your boss and my wife," Ridge warns Bailey. "Your boss doesn't stand a chance." He slaps the lunch bag into Bailey's hands and tells him to tell Taylor that he stopped by. After Ridge leaves, Bailey flips the lunch into the trash. "It's time. Yes, it's time I made my move."
C.J. thinks that if Grant is going to die today, then they should be there. Sally says that they will be there as soon as Macy calls. But if she doesn't call, then they don't belong there. She says that he may want to be alone with his wife; he may need time with her to prepare her for what is going to happen. She feels now that that is why he was so insistent in her rushing down there today. Then we have to respect their privacy, C.J. says, but I am going to miss him. Whether he goes today or next week, I am really going to miss that guy.
Macy tells Grant that she cannot sing today. Today is all we have, Grant tells her. "If I had my choice, I would leave this world sitting on a mountain top watching the sunset listening to the sound of your beautiful voice carrying me through." Macy nods her head and struggles to control herself. Slowly and falteringly she begins to sing "Wind Beneath My Wings." As her voice grows stronger, Grant closes his eyes and smiles. By the end of the song, he appears to be resting quietly with a tear in the corner of his eye. Macy calls out to him but he doesn't answer. Getting up, she lays her head beside his and strokes his face with her hand while she begins to weep. Grant is gone.

Publication: The Day
Waterford - With an approved renovate-as-new status, about $15 million in previously ineligible construction costs for the new high school are now on the table for state reimbursement.
That means the cost to taxpayers will be significantly reduced for the $68.3 million project, Superintendent Jerome Belair said Friday.
Belair said he is still waiting to hear from the state about exactly how much it will reimburse the town for the project, but at an estimated 34 percent, Belair said it would be a "significant amount."
The approval required a special legislative petition - crafted by state Sen. Andrea L. Stillman, D-Waterford, and state Rep. Betsy Ritter, D-Waterford - that would allow certain parts of the project that didn't quality for the renovate-as-new status to now qualify. That legislation was drafted in June and, upon Board of Education and School Building Committee approval, was sent to the state the following month.
"It was a long haul, but it was definitely worthwhile. I know the taxpayers are going to be the direct beneficiary because the debt service will be lowered," Belair said. "In order to qualify for renovate-as-new status, all of the facility must have a life expectancy of 20 years. We looked at the cost and felt the town could win greatly if we could do the upgrade to 20 years, that way we could be eligible."
School board Chairwoman Kathleen McCarty said the designation is a "win-win" for the town and doesn't change the scope of the project. The School Building and Maintenance Committee is watching the bottom line very carefully, she said.
"There's no additional funding added to the project at all. There's not one extra dime being put into it, and this is all because of the new status," she said.
High school construction is on target, and students are expected to move into the new building after April vacation.

More Info:
Tips, Names and screennames, Interests and other information, Friends of friends
Names and screennames
Try searching on the person's name first. However, this will not always bring up the person you are looking for as people don't always put their full name on their profile. For example, if you do a myspace people search, many people are using screennames and not their full name. If you don't get the person you are looking for, try variations of the name such as removing the last name or using a nickname. Also try location to help narrow the search results.
Interests and other information
If a name and location search don't turn up the person you are looking for, try searching using other information as well. Try to be as specific as possible to start with and make the search more general if the results are too narrow. You can try to refine the results by adding interests you know that the person is interested in – such as favorite movies or hobbies.
Friends of friends
Groups of friends often stick together. You can also try searching for someone by searching for mutual friends or people that you know are their friends and trying to find the person on their friend lists. You can then contact the person. This is called foafing (friend of a friend) and is a common way to re-connect with lost friends.

Chip Quik® Will Work Equally as Well on Lead-Free Circuit Boards
New Chip Quik ®Lead-Free Products
In a typical rework situation, an engineer designing a prototype board may have to change an SMD, install a test socket or adapter, replace a chip component, lift some SMD pins for test access, run tests with different SMD components, run a QC analysis after removing a failed component, etc. A technician may have to change a defective SMD, install an upgrade modification, repair a poor solder connection, remove components from a board, make a field repair on location, troubleshoot an inoperative board, etc. A contract manufacturer may have to change a component due to a production error, touch up solder joints after inspection, repair a board after going through the ATE (automatic test equipment), etc. These examples fall into the category of low volume rework. Fast, safe, easy, and affordable rework is needed. To send the board out to a rework specialist or to hire a trained technician would not be practical and/or economically feasible.
As you can see, becoming proficient at SMD solder/ desolder rework is to your advantage. You will save time and money. Also, you become less dependent on others. Best of all, fewer boards will be scrapped.
NOTE: Detailed desolder, solder, rework instructions
are explained in the Chip Quik® Newsletters.

Try Me is an electronic t-shirt that tweets the meaning of hugs @bomboniahugs.
Hugs are a very popular gesture. We hug to say 'Hi!', we hug to mean 'It's been nice to meet you' and we also hug to express much more: 'I'd really love to see you again', 'Mmmm you smell so good' or 'Who cares if tomorrow never comes' and we can give those different meanings in a very subtle way just by holding the hug a little longer. Try Me measures that time, figures out the meaning of the hug and sends updates to my account in Twitter.
Try Me has been awarded the Editor's Choice Blue Ribbon at Maker Faire NYC 2010. It's been invited to the International Symposium of Wearable Computers in Seoul 2010, Tokyo University's MetaPerception Group / Ishikawa-Oku Lab and showcased at different venues in NYC like the Gizmodo Show '09, the ITP Spring Show '09, the Media Lounge Show '09, at the Saint Valentine's Chocolate and I in 2010 and at 3LD Art Space in 2011.

~ miss me ~ is inspired by the infamous Whale 52, that sings at the frequency of around 52 hertz, while all the other whales communicate using frequencies that range between 15 and 25. Whale 52, first traced in 1994 by US submarines, known as the loneliest whale, is believed to be the only one of his species.
~ miss me ~ is the fragrance of the journey from an exceptional loneliness to a magnificent freedom. Panty-less and meticulously handcrafted, Miss Me is an exclusive dark and serene bouquet with a final pinch in the soul created in the Summer-y nights of New York City, 2012.
~ miss me ~ is presented sprayed in fans. Fans are used individually and the scent would flow towards the user rather than the other way around, in a wrapping fashion that acts as a shield. As a Spaniard I am very familiar with the use of fans. For the presentation of the fragrance, I've made an installation with a video recording of the Mediterranean sea at night under the moonlight [the recording was made just across Dalí's house in Spain] and modified its saturation according to the frequency variations of the actual sings of Whale 52 so while we can't hear it we would see the color of the reflexion of the moonlight change.
When a fan is picked up, the video of the ocean fades to a video of the shadow of a woman -myself- dancing in the daytime, as a ritual that expresses freedom and maximum joy.

What does the Center for Disability Resources (CDR) do?
The Center for Disability Resources facilitates equal access for students with disabilities by coordinating accommodations and support services. The CDR works with graduate and undergraduate students with various types of disabilities including learning, physical, hearing, visual, psychological, and chronic medical conditions.
How do I register with the CDR?
Registration includes submission of both the Application for Accommodations and Services and disability documentation (see general guidelines and specific guidelines). There are separate application forms for undergraduate and graduate students. (See Undergraduate Application for Accommodations & Services(PDF) and Graduate Application for Accommodations & Services(PDF)) After review of a student's application and relevant documentation, the CDR will coordinate services and accommodations based on eligibility. The student will receive a letter indicating specific accommodations they are eligible to receive. In addition, an appointment will be set up for an orientation session. The CDR works with students with various types of disabilities including learning, physical, hearing, visual, psychological, and chronic medical conditions.
- Undergraduate Student Registration
- Graduate Student Registration
How do high school services differ from college disability services?
The following information is geared primarily toward families of undergraduate students. While much of the information is still relevant, please contact the CDR for further information on how you can support your graduate student.
The Center for Disability Resources (CDR) is available to speak with you and your student about the important differences between high school and college with respect to services for students with disabilities. Understanding these differences will help to ensure a smooth transition period for both you and your student. Below we have provided a summary that highlights these differences. We have also included information that is specific to our program for students with disabilities.
In high school, teachers or other school personnel identified students who were in need of services, provided free assessments, and developed Individualized Educational Plans (IEP's) based on these assessments. These plans may have included a modified curriculum, specialized instruction, tutoring, academic accommodations, and other individualized services.
In contrast, post-secondary education requires students with disabilities to be much more self-directed about gaining access to the key accommodations they need. While K-12's emphasis is on ensuring students' success, post-secondary disability services is focused upon "leveling the playing field" for students with disabilities so that they have equal opportunity and equal access. With these important distinctions in mind, the following represent key features of the Center for Disability Resources at Illinois Institute of Technology.
- Students must self identify to the CDR to request accommodations.
- Students also must provide reasonable accommodations of their condition/disability. Colleges are not responsible for assessing or determining students' disability status or related needs. Colleges also have the right to set reasonable standards regarding the type of documentation needed / required and can further require that such documentation be current.
- Higher education institutions, including Illinois Institute of Technology, review students' documentation and determine their disability-related needs for academic adjustments and reasonable accommodations.
- Reasonable accommodations coordinated by the CDR for eligible students include extended time on exams, note taking services, textbooks and other materials in an alternate format, sign language interpretation, and transcription services.
- Students are expected to follow the established procedures for receiving reasonable accommodations in order to maintain their eligibility for such accommodations.
- The CDR consults with faculty and/or students' academic programs to ensure that accommodations do not modify the fundamental nature of these programs.
Please note: Individualized services and tutoring are not considered reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the two laws which govern the provision of accommodations at the college level.
Please consult the links below for a more comprehensive overview of the differences between high school disability services and college disability services.

If you have any questions, please contact us.
College Affordability for Students with Disabilities
What qualifies as a disability?
Disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment, which substantially limits one or more of an individual's major life activities. This is typically supported by a formal record of the impairment. "Impairment" is defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Construction on a new
farmers market in Boone County is nearing completion.
The Friendly Market of Northern Kentucky is scheduled to open in about a month in Florence, and workers are moving fast to get the job done. Owner of
the market, Jack Berberich, says crews have been working around the clock since
"We were at work some days when it was zero or below a couple of days, but you do what you have to
do," explained Berberich.
says the 10,000 square foot market, which is located off exit 178 on I-75, will have a Findlay Market flare.
"What I
like about Findlay Market is the atmosphere, and so that is what I hope to
capture here. Not to copy, but to capture that environment, but more importantly
to support Kentucky agriculture," said Berberich.
The Friendly Market will be an outdoor farmer's pavilion, as well as a store consisting of 85% local and regional Kentucky products.
"We're going to have meats, breads made from Kentucky flour. We will have ice cream that's being made from a
family in Bowling Green, vegetables, Taste of Belgium..." added Berberich.
says his goal is to keep the tradition of farming alive in his home state.
parents had a farm. I owned a farm. Hopefully it will show the young folks they
can participate in agriculture and still have a nice living," said Berberich.
He says the farmers pavilion part of the Friendly Market will be open in 2 to 3
weeks and the store will be open by end of May.

Between the yard signs and the TV ads, it seems you can't go anywhere these days without being bombarded by messages from political campaigns -- and now they may be finding you somewhere new: your cell phone.
Julie Holgate says the campaigning has gone too far. "I've been getting knocks on my door," she explains, "[I] thought the cell phone would be safe."
No such luck. On Tuesday, a text message popped up on her phone that read, "Find our why top anti-fracking lawyers pour money into Heitkamp's campaign."
Holgate wasn't sure what to think about the message. "Is it illegal?" she asked. "I don't even know."
We went to Cass County State's Attorney Birch Burdick to find out. "I understand that there are some complaints that ... they were uninvited messages," he tells us, "and some folks ... given their calling plan, had to pay for the messages." Burdick says campaigning through text messages is not illegal in the state of North Dakota, although there are laws against automated audio messages, or so-called "robo calling."
Legal or not, it can be annoying. Holgate says she's disgusted with how far the campaigning has gone, declaring, "It makes me almost not want to vote for whoever who sent this."
A group out of Virginia called the Life and Marriage PAC is responsible for the anti-Heidi text messages.
Burdick says residents can contact their legislators if they wish to see campaign text messages banned.

Author Dennis Cooper has also excerpted on his blog some of the more choice quotes he found online from one of Kinski's books, All I Need is Love. He certainly wasn't lacking for sex, since Kinski, despite his looks and batty tendencies -- or perhaps because of them? -- had a way with the ladies. But I digress. If you think Abel Ferrara's choice words for Herzog, Kinski's frequent collaborator and frenemy, was bad, check this out:
Now I absolutely despise the murderer Herzog. I tell him to his face that I want to see him perish like the llama he executed. He should be thrown to the crocodiles alive! An anaconda should throttle him slowly! The sting of a deadly spider should paralyze him! His brain should burst from the bite of the most poisonous of all snakes! Panthers shouldn't slit his throat open with their claws, that would be too good for him! No. Big red ants should piss in his eyes, eat his balls, penetrate his asshole, and eat his guts! He should get the plague! Syphilis! Malaria! Yellow fever! Leprosy! In vain. The more I wish the most horrible of deaths on him and treat him like the scum of the earth that he is, the less I can get rid of him!YouTube crazy time after the jump! A recording made of Kinski and Herzog during the filming of Aguirre, the Wrath of God:
Klaus Kinski is bored on set, dammit.
Kinski's legendary freakout on the set of Fitzcarraldo, as seen in the doc My Best Fiend.
Acording to Herzog, the "natives" were so horrified by Kinski, they offered to kill him.
But in the end, Klaus is a gentle butterfly.
Need more Kinski? Here's a cool site. Beware of the automatic soundbite that plays when the site loads. It's a little alarming.

Infant's father goes to prison for abuse.
30-year-old Brian Bowder was sentenced to 18 months to three years in the state correctional system Tuesday for child abuse, a Class IIIA Felony. He pleaded no contest to the charge in December. The prosecution had agreed to remain silent at sentencing and not file an additional child abuse charge for another incident.
The Cassgram reports that in previous court hearings, prosecutors said Bowder, who resided in Greenwood at the time, became impatient with his then four-month-old daughter's crying and bit, hit, pinched and squeezed the child last June.
Addressing Cass County District Court Judge Randall Rehmeier, Bowder said, "there's no excuse for my behavior."
Bowder's three-page criminal record includes theft, assault and resisting arrest offenses in Alaska. Bowder had several previous probation sentences revoked.
In handing down the sentence, Rehmeier described this offense as "particularly egregious."

'Bachelorette' stars: Faking it for fame
The new issue of Us Weekly has a very entertaining cover story on how "Bachelorette" stars Emily Maynard and Jef Holm are faking their engagement.
I know, I know: It's hard to believe that two fame junkies pretended to be together on a rigged reality TV show to gain attention, but stay with me here.
Apparently, Holm's former girlfriend and current hook-up buddy (whom he was dating when he went on "The Bachelorette") went into tell-all mode to Us Weekly. The ex, Kaylee Shepherd, says that Holm revealed to her that he and Maynard are faking it. In August, a "texting scandal" hit — Maynard was caught sexting another man, which Us Weekly, the Woodward and Bernstein of tabloids, uncovered. Maynard, desperate to preserve her good girl image, hatched a plan to pay off Holm with half of her "Bachelorette" money. "Jef said their relationship isn't what it seems. It's all basically for TV," Shepherd tells Us.
"It's all basically for TV"? You don't say. Next thing you know, you'll be telling me some actors and actresses get plastic surgery and/or take too many prescription drugs in order to fill the dark void that being famous created. Stop ruining my happy place, Us Weekly!
Kate Gosselin's bodyguard moves on to Honey Boo Boo
Kate Gosselin's bodyguard has moved on from the "Plus 8" family to a new, more up-and-coming dysfunctional brood: the "Honey Boo Boo" clan.
According to Wet Paint, the unnamed bodyguard is watching the whole family, and not just breakout star Alana.
They "like to go out and eat at local restaurants at all hours of the day or night," a source tells the site. This habit prompted the recent hiring of two guards to help with security.
I don't know who you are, fearless reality TV bodyguard, but I really hope you are taking notes for an upcoming memoir. That would be magical.
Miley Cyrus: We are forever
Don't expect Miley Cyrus and fiancé Liam Hemsworth to rush down the aisle anytime soon. "I already feel married. I know we are forever. I don't need the paper right now," Cyrus tells Us Weekly. "I don't know when we will get married yet. We are still enjoying being engaged. I've got so much planning to do with the tours and getting my record out. First I have my movie, then my record — then I'll do my wedding planning."
Question: Don't young, ridiculously famous people know that by now, every time they say,"we are forever," they have completely doomed their relationship?
