Last night the Atlanta Thrashers were spared the indignity of dropping yet another rung on the NHL standings ladder. Had the New Jersey Devils continued their winning ways against the Ottawa Senator they would have jumped over the Thrashers and moved them down to 12th place in the Eastern Conference. It would have also left them with the 6th fewest points in the NHL standing…just one position out of being a lottery pick team in this summers draft.
Instead, the last place Senators edged the Devils 2-1 and the Thrashers remain in 11th place in the east and just two clicks north of Lotterypickville's city limits. It's a distance that has continued to shrink over the last few weeks as we've traveled down the road that is the second half of this NHL season.
Going into tonight's game in Carolina, Atlanta remains seven points out of a possible playoff spot. And while some still cling to the ever-fading hopes that a playoff run is possible, the sad fact here is that there is a much greater chance that they'll have the team's logo affixed to one of the ping-pong balls to determine the exact order of the first five picks in this June's draft.
That's because the Florida Panthers pulled to within two points of the Thrashers Tuesday night by snapping the Chicago Blackhawks eight-game winning streak with a 3-2 win. At the same time, the New York Islanders were knocking off the Toronto Maple Leafs in overtime.
New York now is but three points behind Atlanta, however they have played two more games.
Had the Colorado Avalanche found a way to knock off the Minnesota Wild last night, instead of losing 5-2,then we'd be looking at only being just three points ahead of the 28th place team in the league. Or, as some would say, three points away from having at least a chance at winning the number-one overall pick.
All this means is that unless they can find a way to pull some points from tonight's tilt with the Hurricanes, the NHL standings floor could continue to creep up a little closer. Yes, only seven points separates the Thrashers from a playoff position… but seven points in the opposite direction is a spot in the bottom three and a chance for the #1 overall pick in the draft.
The Canes go into tonight's matchup only one point south of the eighth place Buffalo Sabres and three north of the tenth place Leafs, so they're fighting to keep their place in the list of teams still legitimately in the race. They haven't played since losing 5-2 to the Hawks Friday night.
The Thrashers will go into the game without defenseman Dustin Byfuglien for the first time this season. He didn't even make the trip to Raleigh with the team yesterday and is listed with a "lower body injury" and is day to day. Buff took a shot during Saturday night's overtime win over the Panthers and seemed to be in a serious amount of pain on the bench afterwards, although he was bale to continue.
That was a good thing too, because he tallied assists on three of the team's four goals Saturday night, including setting up Andrew Ladd's winner in overtime. He also had the primary assists on both of Blake Wheelers goals and finished the game with a +2 rating with 9 shots on goal.
Byfuglien remains second on the team in overall scoring. His 19 goals and 30 assists for 49 points is just one behind Ladd, who has 25 goals and 25 assists.
Having Buff out of the lineup certainly doesn't help. But the rest of the lineup will have to find a way to deal with it…or the buffer between them and Lotterpickville will continue to erode away.

Carry over-
Some may believe I am being hypocritical of Chara because I favor the physical game. But players also have to be held accountable; that's all I am calling for. Chara knew what he is doing and he shouldn't be let off the hook by old-schoolers who claim it's "part of the game". Clean hits are part of the game, taking your man out – but not what Chara and other players are doing in the league today. He weighs 260# and knows one of his hit's is going to carry more "weight" than a hit by a smaller man. Judge the intent of the hit, don't excuse the size of the man.
Stroz is right-there's a big carpet at the league office that has alotta dirt under it-the aftermath of Chara's check will be swept under the rug by the end of the day-that will be that.

I am getting excited about another lottery pick, another player taken high that will be rushed to the NHL too early. So much excitement!
My Bills picking 3rd in the NFL draft, maybe the Thrashers in the 33 spot too!?

Yep, Chara will get off lightly. The NHL suspends a 4th line winger getting 5 minutes a game (see Gillies) over a questionable hit to prove how tough they now are on these things.
Chara should get at least 10 games, probably 20 if you compare it to Gillies hit…but the NHL probably won't even suspend him because he is a star and the Bruins are jockeying for playoff position.

I'd like to see Postma have a good game…

RH, thanks for reminding me of my team's demise. Avs owned that game for 2.5 periods, and well, you know the outcome. Only good thing I took from that was the hilarity of seeing Budaj fight at the end. As an NHL.com poster said, "Stephen Hawking called, he wants to fight Peter Budaj." LOL! Thrash has a chance, but as for the Avs, see you at the lottery pick….

March 9th, 2011

Chara should get a minimum of five games. He knew what he was doing and where they were on the ice when he hit him. Did he mean to hurt him or send him into the dividing wall? Maybe not, but you have to be responsible for what you do out ther.
March 9th, 2011

AHL-level talent (with a few exceptions)
ECHL-level or less ownership
Lotteryville it is.
March 9th, 2011

I don't think that Chara intentionally put him into that partition. He is not known as a dirty player… aggressive and tough, yes, but not dirty. I think he meant to give the guy an extra little shove into the boards and it just happened to be at the wrong spot. I do think he should get a 2 to 4 game suspension… just to put out the message that if you are going to play that aggressively, you may have to pay the price. Just my two cents.
I will be watching tonite… but with a defeated attitude. go thrash.

The distance between the Thrasher franchise and and a move to Winnipeg is narrowing by the day however. You guys may indeed luck out though if the Coyotes collapse first.

2:02 pm
Great retorts to Uncle Troll!
Anyway, I see we're finally icing a winning line-up tonite! But seriously, if we're not going to give Schremp top 6 minutes, then what was the point of the waiver acquisition. He obviously has far more skill and natural talent than Anthony Stewart. I think the only reason Stapes is on this line is because a) he's right-handed b) speedy and c) more defensively sound than Stewart and Antropov combined. I think Rammer may be trying to confuse Maurice who loved exploiting our 2nd and 3rd lines at RBC. Now he may not know how to match up. Too bad Postma will be lucky to get his fanny off the pine for more than 8 mins.
March 9th, 2011
2:15 pm
Stan-I am on the fence as to whether Chara is marginally dirty or not, though he's not alone. In contrast, you see a kid like Luke Schenn in Tronna doling out clean, honest hits every night and you want to feed the marginal guys a tape to show them how it's done right. Schenn leads the legaue in hits-he was hard on the Thrashers last time the Loafs were in town.

Ah, Milty the Moron is back to bother the good people of Atlanta. Do you not realize this team is not moving? If one does, we get it here in Quebec City, not out there in the frozen plains of Manitoba. Keep wishing lil Milty….

Schremp – Little – Stapleton
Now that is the Shrimp line.
March 9th, 2011
2:28 pm
We're gonna have to start charging trolls. I say $1 (US) for every schmuck who comes here from A TOWN WITH NO PRO NHL TEAM and makes their nasty comments. Uncle Milty needs to stay on TSN.ca and troll there.
The fine is doubled to $2 for trolls who have been in a city that has had problems with ownership etc in the past decade and dealt with tons of bogus "the team is moving rumors" – they should know better.
Finally it is increased to $10 for anyone who drops by here with a sense of entitlement, saying that it is their "Birthright". Being that much of a jackhole to a bunch of people they have never met and a city that they have never visited deserves a higher amount.
We are American, we snubbed the crown centuries ago and even though there are crazies here who assert again and again that our President "isn't a natural citizen" I have NEVER heard a single American ever say "Baseball belongs in America ONLY. Its out birthright!" Hence the spread of baseball around the world… if it were up to Canada then Hockey would be as famous as curling.
God knows that curling is soooooo exciting – only in Canada would someone think sweeping in front of a rock sliding on ice is fun.
Pretty sure if we fined each troll that came along here in the space of any given year then Rawhides Rowdies (known as RR, LLC) would be able to buy everything from A$G without an issue.
Remember Canada, be sure to pay your fines in AMERICAN dollars. This crappy global economy will depress your dollar soon enough against the American dollar and your town of Winnipeg will lose their team again – and instead of the good folks in Atlanta feeling your pain we will all gladly remind you that you deserved it – Karma is a beyatch! We didn't take a team from Canada. Right now Canada wants to take a SECOND team from us. Why not go beat up on the Islanders?
Does the NYC area NEED 3 teams?

Soma – if hockey can only be in Canada, then let us remember that the car is German, the airplane and artificial ice are American, Beer is from Mesopotamia (ancient Iraq)…shall I go on? Wanna try and run a league without those four items? I for one like that ideas and products spread all over the world.
March 9th, 2011
2:36 pm
I dream of a Jamaican Hockey Team that beats Canada in the olympics. That'd really put sand in their shorts.
I don't want hockey to be in Canada only, the people who troll here keep saying that it is "Their sport" and belongs up there before it belongs in Atlanta.
People are evil about Atlanta in the Canadian press!
March 9th, 2011
2:43 pm
Soma – I understand what your saying…just adding my 2 cents as to how silly their argument is.
Canada has a history of this in hockey. For decades they sent a mens league team to the olympics so that they had an excuse when the Soviets or Czechs would beat them…"we never send our best" kinda thing. What cracks me up more is this faux patriotism…who cares in Cape Breton if a team from Phoenix moves to Winnipeg? It's 2000 miles away. I didnt get jacked up because the USA got a team from Canada when the Jets moved for the very same reason.
March 9th, 2011

Thrashers are staying right here – so keep dreaming and put on a jacket:
Good Day.

Just terrible how this team has played out, and nothing looks like it will change anytime soon.
March 9th, 2011
3:26 pm
As a Thrasher fan who happens to be Canadian (I live in Vancouver), I get really disappointed by all the anti-Canada comments that fly around here. I come here to see what local fans of the team have to say, as they are closer to the action (I've never been to a game in ATL) and generally have more incite into the Thrasher goings on. If I wanted patriotism and political rhetoric, I'd go somewhere else. I understand the frustration one must feel when having to listen to people in the media speculate about the Thrashers relocating but please remember that not all Canadians believe what the trolls and media say. Some of those Canadian even cheer for the Thrashers. Please don't paint us all with the same giant brush.
I hope what I am saying will not flame the Anti-Canada talk. I want to continue to come here and read what people have to say about our Thrashers.
March 9th, 2011
3:33 pm
Trevor Gillies is/was expendable by the league for them to make an example of. Chara and Lucic are not. A dirty and ugly double standard from the NHL. That is far worse than any of the "dirty hits" that may or may not have occured.
Full disclosure: I know Gillies. He is a great team guy and would stick up for anyone on his team. He saw an injustice happen right in front of him and he did what needed to be done. That is old time hockey like it or not but his hit on Clutterbuck was far less dirty than what Chara or Lucic did. Gillies is 6′3″ 235 pounds of pure animal picking on guys his own size. Not so with Chara and Lucic.
As for the Thrashers' lottery pick, like the NHL making an example of its stars, not gonna happen.
March 9th, 2011

Jason – You're good. We just get tired of the trolls, the majority of which are Canadian douchebags.
It's too bad that a few douchebags are giving Canadians a bad name.
March 9th, 2011

No punishment for Chara. Wow. Just wow.
March 9th, 2011
3:44 pm
No suspension for Chara? The NHL continues to circle the toilet bowl into the Mickey Mouse leage farce that it has become. What. A. Joke.
I'm looking forward to Bogosian having a huge night tonight now that he'll finally be paired with Toby Enstrom!
March 9th, 2011
3:49 pm
So if I understand this right, if Zach Bogosian runs Cole into the glass, breaks a vertebrae and gives him a severe concussion…..then that's OK.
Good to know.
March 9th, 2011
3:53 pm
Jason – No disrespect intended. I've been to Canada several times and only break out being a jerk to the people who treat us like garbage when it comes to hockey. If I offended you, I apologize. Its assumed when I am ticked off at Canada my insults are to those who come here insulting us first. Aside from the aforementioned hockey fans that I do not like Canada is a wonderful country.
Your fellow countrymen have no problem telling us we don't deserve a team, that we are too stupid to understand hockey, and make generalizations about us. Nothing more than a defense mechanism.
Two rights don't make a wrong, and I know that, I don't go to blogs of teams I don't support and talk garbage, it irritates almost all of us Thrashers fans when people from up north do that to us.
We will take every fan we can get! Thank you!
March 9th, 2011
4:02 pm
Jason-I grew up on the Canadian / U.S. border and listened the endless flow of bashing on America by Canadian media, specifically the CBC and every major newspaper in Canada. We are not bashing Canadians; our blog is continually invaded by people that either are or pretend to be Canadian, telling what we know or do not know about hockey AND that we don't deserve a team. If such invasions never took place, we would never say a bad thing about Canadians. We have a number of Canadians n this blog-they are our hockey brothers. I have Canadian relatives and friends, I hold them very near and dear to my heart.
You are welcome to continue to come here and talk hockey on the best hockey blog in either country, all of North America. And why? Cuz we know our hockey.
FYI-glad to have yet another Thrasher fan in the great Canadian Northwest.

4:19 pm
Cornbread, I wasn't saying GIllies' hit was wrong…on the contrary, it was a perfectly clean, legal shoulder-to-shoulder hit. The league just decided to make an example out of him because he's a 'nobody' playing on Long Island.
But, by setting THAT line (10 games for a very questionable call) they should hold others to the same bar. Which we now know ain't gonna happen.

Colin Campbell strikes again. I'm looking forward to his son being laid out on the ice after the next Bruins and Canadians game.
March 9th, 2011
4:28 pm
Colin Campbell and his office's wheel of justice is a freakin' pathetic insult to the integrity of the league as well as its fans. It's hard enough for hockey fans to get the respect of other sports fans because of this notion that hockey players are mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging idiots when it's anything but. While hockey players are not exactly Rhodes Scholars, for the most part they are good kids who play hard every night and with passion. I'm not sure what needs to happen in order for the league to convince players to respect each other more, but when the punishments fluctuate so wildly, how are we to expect that any of the punishments will truly deter players from doing the same in future actions and behavior. Will someone need to die before the NHL really gets serious about enforcing rules and creating an atmosphere of respect and honor among its players?
March 9th, 2011

Stroz – if I was Greg Campbell, I'd be very afraid next time I played the Habs. He better watch out for Ryan White or Hal Gill's elbow!

But, by setting THAT line (10 games for a very questionable call) they should hold others to the same bar. Which we now know ain't gonna happen.
I daresay we've known for a long time that some teams and players are more immortal than others.

4:47 pm
If it were someone like Bogey who registered that hit most of the Atlanta hating hockey world would be calling for a suspension for the rest of the season, hell if Chara were on, say the Panthers we would be hearing how "actions such as these must NOT be tolerated". People complain about the salary cap era and parity but looking at punishments any fool can see that there is no parity in discipline.
For every player like Giles who is made an example of there are your Matt Cooke types who only get proper justice from players like Evander Kane.
Chara had no intent to injure, but he could have killed the other player. A fractured C4 is a VERY bad thing (my wife has had repeat spinal surgery in her neck)
March 9th, 2011

"It's hard enough for hockey fans to get the respect of other sports fans because of this notion that hockey players are mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging idiots when it's anything but. While hockey players are not exactly Rhodes Scholars….."
Smoothie – It always amazes me to consider the case of one George Parros of the Anaheim Ducks. He is (at least, one of) their enforcer. Here is a guy who played at Princeton for four years, was team captain his senior year, who majored in Economics. His senior thesis was on a longshoreman's labor dispute. Wikipedia says he was recently named the 4th smartest professional athlete.
March 9th, 2011
4:49 pm
Gotta win tonight…and every night quite frankly. Wish I could see Postma play but in CHI.
Does anyone have the internet link to watch the game?
March 9th, 2011
4:59 pm
Getting back to tonight's game, I think the real difference between ATL and CAR will be on full display. CAR will come out and play hard – looking like a team that knows this is a must-win game and will play to that level. ATL, I'm afraid, will again show little concern about their predicament and come out flat, play 20 minutes of good hockey at some point during the game, but spend the other 40 minutes in their own zone trying to clear the puck. This time of year, good teams will beat teams with fewer points because they are getting prepared for the playoffs. Sadly, it's been months since we've seen that from the Thrashers. Still, I hope I'm wrong because I want the win!
March 9th, 2011
5:08 pm
TomLysiak – interesting, so George Parros is not only a well-groomed pugilist, he IS damn near a Rhodes Scholar! Come to think of it, I don't recall George ever being involved in an incident such as this where the line between intent and accident was so blurry. He seems like an honorable guy much like Eric Boulton who only fights when the code is observed and invitations are extended.
March 9th, 2011
5:11 pm
You know the system is corrupt when we all expected Chara to skate.
Campbell's actions, his obvious interference with ref's in his son's games, and his arrogance has made it obvious that he can not do his job anymore.
The madness of recusing himself from his son's teams and then having a direct subordinate make the decision is madness. This is the frickin NHL folks, not the local rec league.

Media Release
Senator Ian Campbell
Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministers for the Environment, Sport, Territories, and Local Government
8 August 1996
Senator Ian Campbell, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for the Environment, today told representatives from the recycling industry that the Federal Government supports a more co-operative and a national approach to recycling and will back this with $5 million from the Telstra Environment Package.
In a conference hosted by the Liquidpaperboard Carton Manufacturers Association in Sydney today, Senator Campbell reaffirmed the Government's support of a 50% reduction of waste going to landfill by the year 2000, but said that the setting of arbitrary targets alone was not enough to achieve this target.
"A National Co-operative Strategy will provide sensible and practical criteria for goal setting and allow the Federal Government to work with State, Territory, and local Governments to achieve the best possible result for our environment," Senator Campbell said.
"Most importantly, the Federal Government will work with industry, not against it, to achieve recycling targets."
"Effective recycling policy is one that encourages a productive partnership between industry, retailers, consumers, and all areas of government."
Senator Campbell said that a broader range of industries and waste streams will receive attention in waste reduction initiatives, which will promote not only better waste management practices but also provide industry with further opportunities.
Industry was reminded however, that additional funding for Waste Management Awareness Programs was dependent upon the minor parties supporting the partial privatisation of Telstra.
"The National Waste Management Awareness Program, costed at $5 million over five years, will encourage higher levels of domestic recycling which will not only help our environment, but provide industry with greater opportunities," Senator Campbell said.
"The Democrats' decision to block the sale of Telstra will not only allow the environmental degradation to continue, but will also affect green industries."
Senator Campbell said that the Democrats had indicated they had no objection to using money from Telstra to fund the environment package as they had proposed syphoning 7% of Telstra's revenues to finance the Natural Heritage Trust. The Democrats had yet to explain how this $200 million per year would be replaced - whether it was to be by higher taxes or cuts to expenditure or increased borrowing.

Rice, Jim
James Edward Rice
Born: March 8, 1953, Anderson, South Carolina
Played For:
Boston Red Sox (1974-89)
Elected to the Hall of Fame by Baseball Writers: 2009
Jim Rice's 16-year big league career in Boston continued a legacy of renowned Red Sox left fielders that included Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski. One of the most feared right-handed hitters of his era, Rice clubbed at least 20 homers in 11 of his first 12 full seasons and led the American League in total bases four times, homers three times and RBI and slugging percentage twice each. The powerfully built eight-time All-Star amassed 2,452 hits, a .298 batting average, 382 home runs and 1,451 RBIs. Rice captured the Junior Circuit's Most Valuable Player Award in 1978, when he collected 406 total bases -- the most in the AL in more than 40 years.
Click here to see additional information provided by Baseball-Reference
Did You Know:
that Jim Rice is the only player in major league history to record over 200 hits while hitting 39 or more home runs for three consecutive seasons.
I'd be staring him down, he'd be staring right back and I'm telling you there was no man I wanted to face less than Jim Rice. He was the strongest, toughest guy, most competitive man I ever faced.

Not a bad idea to make more spells usable when moving, but I think all of them might be overkill.
Or maybe something like a cast time penalty if certain spells are cast while moving. Just a slight penalty that would make casters want to use those spells if the opportunity presented itself, but give melee a chance to break LoS or attempt to close the distance for the interrupt. Either way, both players would have a choice to make, and may make for some interesting battles. The caster is choosing whether he has enough distance to get the spell off before I can use sprint and catch him. I'm deciding if I can catch him with sprint, or if I should pop CoS or try to find cover.
Just an idea

This is a great idea and I wish it would be implemented. This really would work best for trinkets, rings, necklaces, relics, idols, etc.
For these items its hard to make a "lower tier" version and that is one of the most significant reasons that 25 man gear is significantly better. A solution like this would make it possible for 10 man raiders to get the 25 man gear (AND make 10 mans more appealing to 25 man raiders).
I also think there needs to be some more incentive to run heroics. A tier of heroics like H MgT with all epics from bosses could be a step, also some better gear purchases with EoH would help greatly. Perhaps give 5 and 10 mans the route to accumulate a large number of badges, say 100 for a MH weapon and 50 for an OH weapon - where the weapons are equivalent to 25 man content. This worked well in BC...I don't know why the expensive badge gear for heroic badges was not continued.

I agree. I am really surprised that Goblins don't have a + to engineering skill. Kinda weird imo.
Also, all the expansion news is great and all, but its still really far away. Will be interesting to see where the headlines go from here.
I have a few friends that are "planning" what they are doing for the expansion. Seeing as how faction changes are possible and new races. People talk like its dropping at the end of this year.
mtsadowski said...
Goblins having Alchemy KIND of makes sense. Here's how I see it: Goblins love to blow stuff up. Blowing stuff up requires a lot of chemical reactions. Alchemy would fit that.
I agree with you both that the alchemy part makes sense. I just think since there are two specialized paths in engineering, Gnomish and Goblin, that some kind of props would have been given in some sort of way. At least the two are not the same faction should they issue it to both. Or make is so the gnomes get the +skill if they go gnomish, and the goblins the + if they go goblin. If either decide to not go the engi way, give them alchy. Just a thought.

Choosing a school
Placement of children with special educational needs
Parental preference has to be taken into account when arranging for a placement for children with special educational needs.
It must be noted that the legal responsibility on the Local Authority (LA) is to provide appropriate education for a child with special educational needs. There is no legal duty to provide the best education.
The policy of inclusion means that most children with special educational needs will be educated in mainstream schools, rather than special schools. However, children can only be educated in special schools if they have a Statement of special educational needs.
The Education Act places a general duty on the LA to educate a child with a Statement of special educational needs in a mainstream school, unless it would be incompatible with:
- the wishes of the parent: or
- the provision of efficient education for other children.
This duty means that mainstream education cannot be refused because the child's needs cannot be provided for within the mainstream sector. This duty does not give a parent the right to veto mainstream education for their child.
If a parent does not wish their child to be educated in a mainstream school, the LA may arrange a placement at a special school. Even if the parent prefers a special school, the decision on placement is made by the LA and a mainstream school can be named on a Statement. There is a right to appeal to a Special Educational Needs Tribunal on this question.
On receipt of the proposed Statement, parents are invited to consider their preference for any maintained school that can meet their child's needs, or make representations in favour of a non-maintained or independent school. Parents can also choose alternative provision – such as education at home – although the LA must be satisfied that the educational provision is suitable.
All maintained mainstream schools must publish information and a report on the school's policy on special educational needs. This must be made available to parents.
More information about choosing a school is available from the DirectGov web site.

Same as before
Disclaimer: I don't own the Ronin Boyz or Byakuen, I'm just messing with them for a little while and I promise to return them to Bandai eventually and relatively unharmed.
Ryo yawned and stretched from where he stood in the living room. He had just finished his swim for the day, trying to re-energize himself. Work had been hell at the bar he worked at all last week, and this week was going to suck as well. Between making ten complicated drinks at the same time and fighting with the occasional drunk customer who was bothering any of the performers, he was wiped out. He had hoped a brisk swim would help him wake up from what would have been a sleepy afternoon, but to no avail.
He took the towel that he had grabbed and quickly rubbed it through his hair, towel drying it into a tangled mess. He felt a cool, wet nose in the middle of his back and turned to see Byakuen standing behind him, regarding him curiously. "Hey -Blaze," he offered with a smile. "We're all set for food, believe me; I had the misfortune of skinning your kills. So you don't need to go out and hunt down any extra food, okay big guy?"
Ryo turned back to what he was doing, once again glad that he was the only one in the house at the moment, he could drip on the carpet and there was no one around to yell at him. Seiji was off helping out at the dojo, Shin and Touma both had classes, and Shu had gone to take inventory at one of many of his mother's restaurants.
Ryo let out a light shout when he felt a rough tongue scrap across his lower back. "Ow, -Blaze, I don't need another bath, okay, I've already had two."
He didn't get very far at all. Byakuen barely had two steps before pinning down one of his many charges. All it took for the great beast was biting onto Ryo's swim trunks and pulling him down. The large animal walked over the fallen body of the barer of wildfire and gently nudged his head up at the base of his neck before he licked the black haired boy's neck.
Ryo tried to wiggle out of the way of the rough tongue, only to find that one very heavy paw was placed in the middle of his back. The harsh tongue scrapped along his neck, shoulders, and even a good chunk of his back, thoroughly giving him the lick bath that so many kits fought against to begin with.
What's gotten into Byakuen? Ryo wondered between wincing as layers off flesh were being pulled away. Well, maybe not pulled away, but thoroughly scrubbed.
Ryo let out a loud yelp at one point when Byakuen's rough tongue swabbed along the delicate skin of the back of his arms. Again, he tried to get away, but was unable to do so until the large tiger decided that he was clean enough to let go of. By that point however, a good part of Ryo's back and shoulders were a little more on the raw side do to the sandpaperery feel of the sponge that had just given on of his most thorough baths ever.
Touma walked into the house, glad that his classes were done with for the night. Now, all he had to do was make dinner for the remaining Ronins and then study for a little bit, he had a big test on Friday to look forward to. He waved at Byakuen as he walked by, trying to decide what he wanted to do first. It had already been a long day, and he couldn't decide if he wanted a nap, a snack, or maybe a swim.
He was barely surprised to see Ryo's swimming trunks and towel in the bathroom as he entered to get a glass of water. What did surprise him however was the tube of cream used for dealing with rashes, gashes and scraps. I hope Ryo didn't fall down the hill side into the lake, that would hurt, the blue haired archer thought as he put the cream away. Still, it was a small mystery that nagged at the back of his mind as he came out from the restroom.
Byakuen stood before him, blocking the entrance to the kitchen. "Look -Blaze, we both know the rules, right? I'm not allowed to feed you after you've gone hunting. So why don't you just go outside if you're hungry and get yourself something to eat." The large cat didn't budge an inch. "All right, suite yourself, but when I'm back from getting a swim, you had better be out of the way tiger."
Touma was startled to see Byakuen still in front of the doorway a few minutes later when he came downstairs from his, Shin's, and Shu's room. He too had plans for a refreshing swim, just like Ryo had earlier. This time, instead of the tiger stalking his victim from behind, he just patiently walked towards Touma.
The slender youth started to walk backwards, feeling suddenly nervous about the way that Byakuen was approaching him. It wasn't hard for the large animal to first pin Touma up against a wall and then knock him over and pin him down by placing a large paw on his stomach.
The blue haired boy was almost petrified with fright until he felt the first swipe of the rough tongue against his neck. A startled shout escaped his lips, surprised to feel the skin being tugged on as he was bathed by the giant furball. I think I know why Ryo needed the scrap cream now, Touma thought with a moan. I just wish that I hadn't had to experience it to find out as well.
Seiji looked up from his book in time to see Ryo shut the door to their room. The blonde was hardly surprised to see that his lover looked haggard. "Hey, Kitty, you alive more or less?"
"Not fully no," was the tired response. Ryo walked over and fell onto their bed face first, laying on top of the sheets without thought or care. He jumped a little when Seiji placed a comforting hand on his back.
Seiji put his book down and gave him a thoughtful look. "All right, what's got you so skittery?"
Ryo pulled off his vest from work, displaying the loving red marks that were left over from being pounced on by Byakuen earlier that afternoon. "-Blaze decided that I needed a bath for some reason. I don't get it, he's never done that before."
"Never?" Seiji asked. "Are you sure? He gave another one to Touma earlier today. Maybe he just thought that you both needed to be taken care of."
"Yeah, but Byakuen has never been that maternal, it's weird."
"Well," Seiji began as he kissed his lover on the cheek. "You and Touma are the youngest, maybe he just thought that you needed someone to look after you for a little." Then he chuckled, "although I do have to say that I wish it was me who gave you the bath instead."
Ryo glared playfully at him, "Just you wait, you'll get yours, you'll see."

Misplaced investments abound anywhere you look. Investments whether public or private need to have a purpose and provide some sort of return. The place that I talking about today is in Portland, ME and is located just 1/2 a block north of the Amtrak/Concord Coach Station. The sidewalk is a private investment that facilitates travel between the parking lot of the Clarion Hotel and the hotel itself. Below is a handy Google Map of the site.
What we see is a sidewalk that runs horizontally through the parking lot and abruptly stops nearly 5-6 feet from the public sidewalk leading to the train/bus station. Here are a photo looking out from the private sidewalk to the public sidewalk.
Notice that the fence isn't there for security, but it does block passage through the majority of the parking area to the train station. I wonder if they thought a partial fence would be enough to keep hoodlums and vandals at bay, believing them to only put forth the effort if the fence prevented them from accessing 1/2 the parking area?
I am not sure why I am writing about this. People could in fact just walk around and through the roadway and enter the lot the way cars do. They could trample through the bushes or the hotel could have saved a couple hundred bucks in fence and spent it on completing the sidewalk. Now they have a fence that really doesn't do anything, and an incomplete sidewalk that doesn't facilitate travel to the train and bus station from their establishment.
I am not even sure I would have picked this up as a planner reviewing the site plan. It just seems that creating connections in logical places only improves a transportation system.
* It is noted that the private hotel owned sidewalk was built before the public sidewalk, which is the "only" way to get to the train station if one is on foot, unless you trespass on private property or walk in the roadway. Regardless, the investment should have been made by the city to link the two amenities up. The cost would have been negligible considering the entire cost of the project and reflects a serious lack of concern for how functional networks operate. It could be argued that the hotel wouldn't want the sidewalk to be linked, which may be the case and that is their prerogative, but if an effort wasn't made……
How do you encourage people to walk more? Someone in Waterville proposed a project where we create walking routes around town that head out from the library. I have been helping out with some mapping on the project and hope to include some of the work in another project of mine. The map below is an example map that families can check out at the library, pick a route and go for a walk.
Personally, I walk a lot. Partly because I have a dog, and partly because I like taking my time getting places and don't mind a stroll for real life activities. I am probably in the minority here and don't value my time the same way as others do, counting my walks as time well spent. I also enjoy being able to experience life at a human scale. I wrote a bit about a great post I read that talks about cycling and its importance in seeing the community as it is, and not at 50mph. You really get to know a place well when you walk or cycle through it.
I just wonder what it would take to get people to exchange one trip a week in a car for one on foot or bike? Will high gas prices do it? Diabetes? I don't know. For now I am going to work with people on projects that encourage walking as a form of recreation and transportation. I want to mimic the efforts made in Raleigh, NC at constructing signs indicating distances to destinations. Those signs were removed by the city. Protest ensued and the signs were put back up. Change takes time and maybe a bit of encouragement.
Coming to a library near you Watervillians. Get out and take a walk. Combine it with a trip!

Georgia defensive tackle commitment Lamont Gaillard from Fayeteville, N.C., looks to be sticking with the Bulldogs after visiting Miami over the weekend, his coach at Pine Forest High School said late Monday afternoon.
"There was some conversation back and forth, but I think he's still pretty much set on Georgia," Bill Sochovka said. "Right now, that's where he's headed to Georgia."
Gaillard spoke to new Georgia defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt after getting an email or text about a defensive tackle possibly flipping from Florida State, where Pruitt previously coached.
"I don't know if it was somebody outside trying to put some ideas in Lamont's head to flip him from Georgia to Miami," Sochovka said. "That's possible. We all know that."
Sochovka said Miami did a great job recruiting and made an impressive presentation, but that coach Al Golden knew getting Gaillard to switch was a longshot.
"In my mind, it probably solidified his decision to stay with Georgia," Sochovka said. "Not saying Miami did anything wrong or bad or anything like that. It probably helped unconfuse him."

I am sick to death of the Zandalari dungeons. Even when running them with a geared guild group they're just too long--aside from the stupid cap that means I can't just run normal heroics until my eyes bleed to get to the weekly cap on my non-raiding alts, for the most part it takes less than half the time to run a normal heroic (especially ones with optional bosses) than it does to run a troll. And (fill in favorite deity here) forbid you try to pug the Zandalaris! My pugs (which I always run with at least one other friend) are hit or miss--sometimes we get a really good group and just blast through, but wiping over and over because your pug lock can't manage 5K DPS on the last boss of ZG is just demoralizing.
Aside from that, they're just *boring*. I mean, yeah, they were cool when they were new, and I kind of got my fill of ZA back when it was a raid. But being forced to alternate between ZG and ZA to cap points is...ugh. I've gotten to where I don't even bother running them anymore--I just take longer to get upgrades for my non-raiding alts because I just can't stand the thought of looking at those two dungeons anymore.
I was sick of them fast. I ran ZA quite a bit the first time around, plus farming Zandalar rep and mounts before the 60 version disappear, so the locales became engrained in my mind.
While the revamped versions are very well done, they still look the same. On the other hand, most of the other dungeons are extremely well done artistically speaking, and I haven't tired of looking at them. But WoW is a very reward-oriented game, so of course I've skipped over the lower tier as the time spent vs. reward is much lower than doing the Zul'Agains.
vocenoctum said...
I still run "old" heroics fine, queue times are less and it's faster and generally easier. You still get people new to them occasionally, but no biggie. There's also of course a wider variety of gear to help out. For those farming VP, I'd say even just removing the stupid weekly cap would help. You could easily run twice as many old heroics as troll heroics for a more enjoyable time usually...
Oh well.

We have new details on a shooting at the Childress Police Department. The man who walked through the doors of the Childress Police Department with a shotgun Sunday night is reportedly mentally ill. That is what the father of 39 year old Jeff Whitten tells us.
According to the Department of Public Safety...an officer ordered Whitten to put the gun down and shot him in the arm when he did not. We are told Whitten is in stable condition following surgery at Northwest Texas Hospital. Whittens father declined to speak to us on camera but says his son had not been taking his medication for weeks. Texas Rangers are now trying to figure out what made Whitten bring a shot gun through the police departments front door. "He was there and he had a gun and an officer shot him. All that is you know lining up just fine. The main thing is motive. What was he doing there? Why did he do this," said DPS Trooper Daniel Hawthorne. Trooper Hawthorne says he cannot comment on whether Whitten is mentally ill. The police department tells us they are making some safety changes after the shooting.

Hypertension/High Blood Pressure Health Center
Water Pill Works Best for High Blood Pressure
Is Blood Pressure Treatment Color-Blind? continued...
Among the new findings reported by Wright and colleagues in the April 6 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association:
- African-Americans who took the diuretic achieved better blood pressure control than those who took the other drugs.
- Diuretics were better than the two newer drugs for reducing the rates of heart failure in African-Americans. Among non-African-Americans, those who took calcium-channel blockers had the highest risk of heart failure.
- Neither of the two newer drugs was more effective than the diuretic for preventing heart attacks or death from heart disease in African-Americans and non-African-Americans.
- The findings showed that ACE inhibitors are less effective than other drugs for lowering blood pressure and preventing poor outcomes in African-Americans. African-Americans who took ACE inhibitors had a 40% greater risk of stroke, a 30% greater risk of heart failure, and a 19% greater risk for cardiovascular events than those who took the diuretic.
"The overall ALLHAT conclusions that thiazide-type diuretics are indicated as the drug of choice for initial therapy of hypertension apply to both blacks and non-black patient populations," the researchers conclude.
They also recommend calcium-channel blockers over ACE inhibitors as the initial treatment for African-Americans who cannot take a diuretic.
'Issue Is Settled'
In an editorial accompanying the new findings, James Neaton, PhD, of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, agrees that diuretics are the clear first choice for all patients with high blood pressure who can take them, regardless of race.
Most patients end up needing a combination of several types of blood pressure drugs to adequately control their hypertension, however.
"It is now time to move beyond comparisons of diuretics with other classes of blood pressure-lowering drugs; that issue has been settled," he writes. "Determining how to lower blood pressure to more optimal levels in the most cost-effective manner and in the populations at risk is the new priority."
Wright admits to being frustrated that so few people with high blood pressure who could be benefiting from
"It is unfortunate that [physicians] still shy away from giving a diuretic at all or from giving diuretics in adequate doses to control blood pressure," he says.

Chocolate Cream Cake, Sponge Bob Square Pants with Patrick at Goo Lagoon
This time I would love to share my newest creation on a wonderful chocolate cream cake made for my son's 9th B-day.
My kids are big fan of SpongeBob Square Pants cartoon so I decided to create Goo Lagoon cake with all the bells and whistles to make cake realistic as much as possible.
I handmade and hand painted: SpongeBob, Patrick, Goo Lagoon sign, ocean, life vest, crabby patties and squiggly decorations out of homemade fondant.
Sand effect was created with Nilla wafers, nicely ground.
Cake was Chocolate cream, six inch, wonderful, light and delicious.
Cheddar Cheese Crackers, Gluten and Egg Free
Crunch, munch crackers are a must. Especially yellow ones, how my kids like to call them.
Beauty of these recipe is that you can choose the cheese of your choice and every time crackers will be different. Like spicy with pepper jack, zing with feta or creamy with fontina.
Love to have some homemade crackers on hand when on the go.
Selection of store bought gluten free crackers is limited and to be honest all those crackers are very pricey.
This is amazing recipe, super easy and quick to make. Also there is no eggs in this recipe.
Homemade Gluten-Free Cheddar Cheese Crackers
Makes 70 crackers, 1 inch size
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 stick butter, cold
1/4 cup kefir
1 tsp. sea salt, optional
1 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Combine the butter, cheese and kefir in the bowl of a mixer
and beat at slow speed until blended. Gradually add the flours until just combined, scraping the sides of the bowl if necessary. The dough should have all pulled away from the sides of the bowl and formed a ball.
Roll out the dough with a floured rolling pin until the disk is about an 1/8-inch thick. Cut with a cookie cutter shape no bigger then 1 inch.
Place dough 1 inch apart on the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.
Let the crackers first rest in fridge for about 20 minutes and then transfer the pan to bake for 12-16 minutes or until golden.
Cool on baking sheets or wire racks for 20 minutes.
When completely cooled store crackers in an airtight container.
Sunflower Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Gluten and Nut Free
Mid week afternoon require some serious cookies. Before kids games you have to have a boost of wonderful aromatic cookies.
Since baseball season is in full swing and tennis tournaments are almost every weekend, I made a system of making healthy cookies and freeze the leftovers so every time we need one we just have them ready to go.
This time I had a sunflower seeds in a pantry so instead of almonds I decided to grind these and use them in a cookies.
Fantastic flavor, tiny bit salty but with semi sweet chocolate chunks make dream cookies.
Plus these are not only gluten free they are also nut free for everybody who needs to avoid nuts.
Makes 12 cookies
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chunk
1/2 cup butter
1 egg
1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup sunflower seeds (grind)
1/4 cup tapioca starch
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon organic vanilla sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar, optional
Preheat oven to 350F.
Using double broiler melt chocolate chunks with tea spoon of milk and tiny bit of butter. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally till smooth, set aside.
Grind the sunflower seeds.
In a stand up mixer bowl add cold butter, sugar, egg, vanilla sugar, melted chocolate.
Mix just for a few spins, then add all the flours. Texture should be like a dough.
With hands roll the dough and form balls adding few chocolate chunks and if wanted extra pieces of sunflower seeds for the crunch.
Pop cookies in the oven for 14 minutes.
Let them cool and if you like you can sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
Fantastic aroma and texture combination of trail mix and great cookie.
Rubber Duckies Fondant Toppers, Surf's Up!!
Surf rubber duckies birthday party idea, SOUNDS GREAT:-)
This is a super party idea for any age and everybody can enjoy the fun of water and cuteness of rubber duckies cupcakes!!
Ducky pool theme party can be at your local Gym, YMCA or any other indoor pool facility available for party rental.
In this case cupcakes were gluten free red velvet with cream cheese frosting.
Few tips:
In your pool party invitation, ask the party guests to bring their swimsuits, a change of clothes, flip flops and a towel.
Use fun pool party supplies to pull in the summer theme, oversized beach balls are always a hit!
The entire party time will be taken with the kids swimming and playing together in the pool. Hopefully, you will dive right in and lead some games, or have a few parents who are interested in getting in as well so they can lead games too:
- Have a rubber duck race. Give each child a rubber duck and have them use their noses to move it to the other side of the pool. First one there wins!
– Play water volleyball!
– Have a splash contest from the diving board to see who can make the biggest splash! Make sure to follow pool rules, however!
– Play Shark! Have the birthday kid start off as the shark and tag the fish (the rest of the kids in the pool). As the fish are tagged, they also become sharks. The game is over when the pool is full of sharks!

Espresso Adventures with DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Machine
So this year there is a new machine in our kitchen and have to say that we all are very happy with the purchase. It works fantastic, makes amazing espresso shots with perfect crema. Milk foam is the way it should be. If you prefer cappuccino, milk can be fluffy and for latte very creamy. Excellent machine and affordable price.
The DeLonghi EC155 lets you create delicious espresso 2 different ways. You can use the Sempre Crema Filter to brew using your favorite ground coffee beans, and depend on a smooth layer of crema every time you brew. The EC155 also comes with a special filter basket for use with ESE pods for added convenience—no grinding, dosing, or tamping needed.
A dependable pump means consistent, well-extracted espresso shots and lots of steam. The DeLonghi EC155 features a powerful 15 bar pump to create a consistent extraction every time. It's also self-priming—a rare feature for a machine at this price point. This feature means you don't have to worry about complicated set-up when you first get the machine or after a long period without being used.
A dial on the front of the machine controls the EC155 and it features 5 different settings. From left to right, they are steam, power off, power on, coffee/hot water dispensing. Indicator lights are also located around this center dial and will illuminate when the machine is on and when the machine is at proper brewing or steaming temperature.
Great heat stability and durability are the major qualities of a stainless steel boiler. They are less vulnerable to pitting and damage from scale build-up. Not only does the EC155 have a stainless steel boiler, it also has 2 separate thermostats so that the proper temperature is always reached for brewing or steaming.
I like to buy whole espresso beans, local or imported, brewed espresso coffee tastes great every time. Also for the milk, non fat makes fantastic foam, but if you prefer soy, almond or rice milk- excellent choices too.
Depends of type, texture, aroma and cup size of the day, you can always make your own cup of amazing espresso.
Have to add that steamer can make fantastic hot chocolate or cocoa for the kids or adults, super cramy and delicious:-)
Thanks for reading and have a Happy and Healthy year.
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas!!

Happy Thanksgiving! Gluten Free Homemade Stuffing Recipe
Happy Thanksgiving!
This year Thanksgiving lunch will be delicious and gluten free:-)
We will be making boneless turkey breast wrapped in pancetta and homemade gluten free stuffing with:
sweet carrots, flavorful parsnip, crunchy celery, red onion and just a few strips of goodness of pancetta to compliment flavor of the bird.
You will need these ingredients:
1 loaf gluten-free sandwich bread, Rudi♥s, diced into 1-inch cubes
1 large red onion, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
4 medium carrots, diced
1 parsnip, diced
2 large eggs
4 strips pancetta,chopped
4 cups chicken stock, heated
Heat the oven to 350°. Spread the bread cubes out on a baking sheet. I love to sprinkle bread with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. This is optional.
Put the baking sheet in the oven and toast the bread. After 10 minutes or so, toss the bread cubes around to another side. When all sides are toasted, about 20 minutes.
Set a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion, celery, carrots, parsnip. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden. Add bacon and cook for another 5 minutes.
Toss stuffing together with the bread cubes. Put them all into a greased 8 x 12-inch casserole pan.
Whisk the eggs vigorously and slowly drizzle into the hot stock.
Pour this stock evenly over the stuffing. Cover the casserole pan with foil.
Bake the stuffing for 30 minutes, then take off the tin foil. Bake additional 10 minutes until the bread cubes are firm.
If you like you can pop the dish under the broiler for few minutes for nice golden crust.
What an amazing side dish. Flavor is rich, you can tell that is homemade, feels good.
Happy Thanksgiving!

9 New Ways We Sit, Thanks to Tech
Mobile computing has changed the way we communicate, the way we work ... and the way we lounge.
Mobile computing has changed the way we communicate, the way we work ... and the way we lounge.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved over-the-counter sale of the Hollywog WiTouch device, targeting back pain. The WiTouch Pro model, with advanced features, is available with a doctor's prescription. The WiTouch device offers a drug-free solution for lower back pain. The wearable device with replaceable gel pads is flexible and discreet. SEE ALSO: Why Sitting Too Much Is Dangerous The lightweight product utilizes Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to target pain.
Because sitting is apparently killing you slowly, here's a web app that will help you remember to give your bottom a break every now and then. The Standing Clock lets you keep a log of how much time you spend standing. It's as simple as a single click of a button in your web browser, and it even tracks your standing hours and minutes over time in a handy graph form. The Standing Clock is a web app, so there's no software to install.
Even with the recent news that sitting down will kill you, most of us are unable to make major changes to our workspace set-up. To help you stay healthy, we've taken a look at some alternatives to the traditional office chair. Trying to stay healthy despite a sedentary desk-based career is all about better posture, circulation and most importantly moving more.

#5904 Canadian Mountie RCMP (Hasbro) -
SearsStock No. 38074 Plain Box
The original GI Joe American soldier was marketed
as an action figure in basic military fatigues purchased in a 2 part
style box - accompanying him were various military outfits one could
purchase separately to dress him in. As the 60's moved on, and
Hasbro needed to refelct the times, Joe began getting accessories that
were more adventure than military themed. Sold for a very
short time in 1967 and, reportedly sold only in Canada, this outfit is
one of the more difficult to come by. This is a 1967 GI Joe
"Action Men" Canadian Mountie set. Made exclusively for Sears
Canada. It's incredibly hard to find today. It
Don't be confused by the all too common Action Man
version. This one's all original, 100% 1960s Hasbro.

Catskill Fly Fishing
Center and Museum
This page was last updated on
August 5, 2003 2:41 PM
Trout habitat encompasses not only the river
itself, and the banks with its tangle of trees, bushes and other
assorted plant life, but also the entire watershed
that produces steady flows of water into it. Nevertheless, it
is the banks of the river we are most familiar with, and travel
along as we search for the next secluded pool. The waters'
edge of most rivers flowing through hardwood forests have in their
understory, among the crowded assemblages
of plant life, a surprisingly wide variety of shade
tolerant flowering annual and perennial plants. For those
of us who anticipate and revel in their arrival each year, the
fishing season is defined into sub-seasons according to the flowering
cycle of each species.
Late April is when the Red Trillium and Dutchman's
Britches bloom along the path along many of the rivers in the
Northeast. Both of these flowering plants show off their wares
and roughly coincide with the hatching of Hendrickson mayflies.
In early July, gaudy orange patches of day lilies follow the gentle
course of the West Branch of the Delaware River, signaling the
emergence of the delicate Dorotheas. The annual cycle of familiar
wild flowers and stream insects reassures us, whether we are conscious
of it or not, that we are emotionally linked to these seasonal
patterns of renewal. That is probably why many of us choose to
be there in the first place.
The banks of all rivers are an ecotone,
and collectively support a diverse community
of plants and animals. Because the stream bank is so rich in wild
flowers and other foliage, as well, riverbanks serve as gathering
places for animals. Some come to slake their thirst, while others,
like toads and other amphibians, are temporary visitors, requiring
water in which to lay their eggs.
The discovery of a wild flower, often hidden
away in the shadow of a rock or sapling, never fails to delight.
Ants clinging to Ductchman's Britches and emerging flowers
pushing their way through the dead, dry leaves of last year's
fall thrill the careful onlooker. In Robert Frost's poem:
The Hardwood Groves, he tells us that the forest floor leaves:
"....must be pierced by flowers....".
The poet's eye remains sharp and clear, guiding us to truths
if we have the patience to look for them.

You could call Clay McCarty a benevolent dairy case stalker. Every time he walks into a grocery store, large or small, he heads directly to the dairy case and makes a beeline for the stacks of yogurt cups. He isn't looking for odd flavors or new varieties—nor is he a yogurt junkie.
Rather, he's picking up the Dannon yogurt cups and packs, scanning each for the plant locator code. His quarry: PLT 48.
That's the code for yogurt produced in Dannon's Fort Worth, Texas, facility. All of the milk that is used to produce that yogurt comes from McCarty Family Farms' 7,200 cows in northwest Kansas.
Yep, all of it.
Past Innovative Dairy Farmer winners:
More on McCarty Farms:
About the Innovative Dairy Farmer award
More on yogurt production
In Europe, Dannon's parent company, Danone, has long championed its arrangement with dairy farms. "One of their core corporate values is to have a direct relationship with their dairy farmers," McCarty says. "They call it 'cow to cup.' They value their dairymen as true business partners."
So since April 2012, the McCartys—parents Tom and Judy and sons Mike, Clay, David and Ken—have been the sole supplier of milk for the Texas plant. Three tankers of condensed milk solids leave Rexford, Kan., each day and make their way 650 miles south to Texas.
The unique arrangement, among many other innovations, has garnered the McCartys the recognition of being named the 2013 Innovative Dairy Farmer of the Year. The award, now in its 15th year, is sponsored annually by the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and Dairy Today magazine.
The family will be honored at Dairy Forum 2013, sponsored by IDFA, in Orlando, Fla., later this month.
McCarty Family Farms received two nominations for the award. The first came from Dale Rodman, Kansas Secretary of Agriculture; the second from The Dannon Company, Inc., itself.
"Tom and Judy McCarty took a risk and moved from rural Pennsylvania to the plains of Kansas in 1999 to give their four sons the opportunity to fulfill their goals to be dairy farmers," Rodman says.
"Thirteen years later, McCarty Family Farms has become an innovative leader in the Kansas dairy industry and a key component in three western Kansas communities, creating steady jobs that are a boost to rural economies," he says.

I know that doctors recommend breastfeeding over formula, but I'm having a hard time with it. I've worked with a lactation consultant, but it's still not happening. I feel like a failure and am afraid to admit that I've been giving my baby formula! What can I do?
- Tracey
It's true that breast milk is pediatricians' first choice for newborns. And in an ideal world, breastfeeding would be easy and the right fit for all moms. But the reality is that breastfeeding doesn't work for every new mom. Ultimately you've got to make the choice that's right for you and your family.
Many new moms can't breastfeed due to medical conditions, medications they're taking, or work, travel, and scheduling issues that make it impractical. And while some find breastfeeding easy from the get-go, it's extremely challenging for others. Even with the help of a lactation consultant, it can feel like the baby just isn't taking to it!
The stress of wanting to breastfeed but struggling with it can be too much, especially with the tidal wave of other life changes that come with a baby. Some new moms find it helpful to pump breast milk and deliver it from a bottle. But in some cases, formula may be the right choice.
Rest assured, commercially prepared infant formula is a nutritious alternative for babies. And bottle feeding offers its own benefits — it allows fathers, grandparents, and other caregivers to get involved with feeding the baby and enjoy quality bonding time. Because formula digests more slowly than breast milk, formula-fed babies usually need to eat less often than do breastfed babies.
With everything that's now known about the benefits of breastfeeding, it can be easy to feel like you're somehow shortchanging your baby if you use formula. But you're not. Giving your baby formula is nothing to be ashamed of. You're not the only mom doing so, and you're doing everything you can to help your baby thrive.
If you continue to have questions or concerns, talk with your doctor.

Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Atlanta Hawks requested waivers on forward Antawn Jamison Friday, one day after obtaining the veteran at the trade deadline.
The Hawks acquired Jamison from the Los Angeles Clippers Thursday in exchange for the rights to European forward Cenk Akyol, but decided not to add him to the roster. The team instead re-signed forward Cartier Martin for the remainder of the season.
Martin was waived Thursday, when his second 10-day contract with the Hawks expired, to make room for Jamison's addition.
Jamison had played sparingly with the Clippers this season, his 16th in the NBA. In 22 games with Los Angeles, the 37-year-old averaged 3.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 11.3 minutes.
Martin averaged 6.7 points and 2.0 rebounds, while shooting 42.4 percent from 3-point range, in 31 games over two separate stints with the Hawks this season. He was first waived by Atlanta in January, played briefly with the Chicago Bulls, and re-joined the Hawks on Feb. 1.
