The Spearman girls cross country team has a motto that has proven appropriate and powerful the last four years.
When you call one Lynxette, you get the whole pack.
The Spearman girls will try Saturday for their fourth consecutive Class 2A cross country state championship at the UIL Cross Country State Championships at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock.
The Lynxette Pack, as they've grown to call themselves, includes five seniors who know nothing but winning state championships — Tylo Farrar, Gately Garnett, Sarah Snider, Malory Martin and Shelby Hanna.
"They all have the same mission," said coach Starla Whiteley, who also has won state each year as Spearman's head coach.
The motto and nickname originated with Whiteley after she took part in a scholarship benefit run in Canadian.
The race was for Miles Henderson, a Canadian High School graduate who was killed in November 2006 serving in Iraq.
According to T-shirts at the event, Henderson's former squadron had a motto: When you call one wolf, you get the whole pack.
Farrar leads Spearman's pack. The senior won the Region I-2A meet Saturday in Lubbock and finished fifth in state last year.
Gena Hargrove and Itzel Meza also are part of Spearman's attempt at a four-peat.
"They have such great character," Whiteley said of the team. "They're high-class people and always want to do the right thing and be at the right place.
"I think that's really their whole basis. That's what keeps them together and keeps them motivated."
Whiteley said winning state again is important for her and the Lynxette Pack.
"It's a very hard job to be the top dog, or who everyone is looking for," Whiteley said. "You always want to keep the tradition and keep the legacy.
"I certainly don't want my seniors to go out not winning it."

This was an excellent hotel for us as we needed to be near Furman University. It is still close enough to downtown Greenville that we spent a great evening downtown and then were back at the hotel within fifteen minutes. Room was clean, inviting but the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Very pleasant experience and would stay there again and recommend it highly. ...

By Robert Sandiford
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Feb 21 (Reuters) - With the state of the economy foremost on their minds, Barbadians lined up early to vote in general elections on Thursday morning.
Following a night of loud, last-minute campaigning by the ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP) and the challenging Barbados Labour Party (BLP), polling stations opened quietly.
Political campaigning is banned at polling stations in the southeast Caribbean nation of 290,000 people, as are all electronic communication devices, including cell phones and cameras.
Many voters started to line up in the predawn hours, and businesses either opened late or were allowing workers to leave earlier to vote.
Thirty seats in Parliament are at stake, with the leader of the winning party becoming prime minister.
Polling released on Monday by the Caribbean Development Research Services Inc, or CADRES, gave a slight margin in favor of the opposition BLP, both in terms of seats and in popular support.
Thirty-seven percent of respondents said they favored opposition leader Owen Arthur, 63, of the BLP, who was prime minister from 1994 to 2008, while 32 percent supported DLP incumbent Freundel Stuart, 61. The poll predicted the BLP could win 17 to 20 parliamentary seats, with the ruling DLP, taking 10 to 13 seats.
There are 68 candidates in all, counting independents and those running for the fledgling Bajan Free Party, and some 234,000 eligible voters.
Elections were called three weeks ago and there have been no televised debates between the leaders of the two main parties.
Stuart has had difficulty stabilizing a shaky economy that has suffered credit rating downgrades by Standard & Poors and Moody's Investors Service in the last seven months.
The BLP is considered conservative and pro-business, whereas the DLP is considered to be more mindful of working-class and middle-class needs. Both parties promise to keep more money in voters' pockets but have not said how they would do that.
Election results are expected by late Thursday evening. (Editing by David Adams, Jane Sutton and Eric Walsh)

The mission of Williamson County Cowboy Church is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, to lead souls to the Lord Jesus Christ in salvation, and to disciple and teach them who they are in Christ Jesus, and how to live a victorious life in their covenant rights and privileges. The fulfillment of that mission takes place when those believers become rooted and grounded enough in God's Word to reach out and teach others these same principles.
We are called to lead folks to the place where they operate proficiently in the biblical principles of faith, love, healing, prosperity, redemption and righteousness, and to the place where they can share those principles with others.
We are called to assist believers in becoming rooted, grounded and established in the Word of God by teaching them to give God's Word first place in their lives (Colossians 1:23, Psalm 112).
We are called to build an army of mature believers, bringing them from milk to meat, from religion to reality. We are called to train them to become skillful in the word of righteousness, to stand firm in the spiritual warfare against the kingdom of darkness (Hebrews 5:12-14, Ephesians 6:10-18).
We are called to proclaim that "Jesus Is Lord" in our meetings, at team ropings and special events that we host, at rodeo events, and in our daily lives. Our vision is being accomplished through the ministry efforts of Williamson County Cowboy Church , through local events that we host, through evangelistic ministries that are sent out from this church, and through the use of television, radio, campaigns, conventions, books, tapes, recordings and more.

Wow, this is one very impressive plugin. The only thing that stops me from using it now, is that I have been a long time user of Gallery 2. It would be a monumental task for me to start migrating all the albums/photos from that to this gallery.
Is there any migration scripts, or is it possible to develop one? I am sure a lot of people is in the same boat!

I'm designing a class library for discrete mathematics, and I can't think of a way to implement an infinite set.
What I have so far is: I have an abstract base class, Set, which implements the interface ISet. For finite sets, I derive a class FiniteSet, which implements each set method. I can then use it like this:
FiniteSet<int> set1 = new FiniteSet<int>(1, 2, 3);
FiniteSet<int> set2 = new FiniteSet<int>(3, 4, 5);
Console.WriteLine(set1); //{1, 2, 3}
Console.WriteLine(set2); //{3, 4, 5}
Console.WriteLine(set1); //{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Now I want to represent an infinite set. I had the idea of deriving another abstract class from set, InfiniteSet, and then developers using the library would have to derive from InfiniteSet to implement their own classes. I'd supply commonly used sets, such as N, Z, Q, and R.
But I have no idea how I'd implement methods like Subset and GetEnumerator - I'm even starting to think it's impossible. How do you enumerate an infinite set in a practical way, so that you can intersect/union it with another infinite set? How can you check, in code, that N is a subset of R? And as for the issue of cardinality.. Well, that's probably a separate question.
All this leads me to the conclusion that my idea for implementing an infinite set is probably the wrong way to go. I'd very much appreciate your input :).
Edit: Just to be clear, I'd also like to represent uncountably infinite sets.
Edit2: I think it's important to remember that the ultimate goal is to implement ISet, meaning that any solution has to provide (as it should) ways to implement all of ISet's methods, the most problematic of which are the enumeration methods and the IsSubsetOf method.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The state school superintendent and the
A Plus Education Partnership are joining the governor to encourage
the Legislature to legalize charter schools in Alabama.
Gov. Bob Riley, State Superintendent of Education Joe Morton and
A Plus President Caroline Novak held a news conference Monday to
promote the legislation that will be introduced Tuesday by
Republicans Sen. Steve French and Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin.
Riley says passage of the legislation would help Alabama qualify
for an additional $200 million in federal education money. The
legislation is opposed by the Alabama Education Association because
charter schools aren't required to follow the state tenure law and
some other educational laws.

First: I've implement a fairly complex scrolling mechanism for images, that allows to scroll over a few hundred thousands (theoretically) in one single scroll view. This is done by preloading small portions upon scrolling, while re-using all UIImageViews. Currently all I do is to assign new created UIImage objects to those re-used UIImageViews.
It might be better if it's possible to also re-use those UIImage objects by passing new image data to them.
Now the problem is, that I am currently using the -imageNamed: method. The documentation says, that it caches the image.
Problems I see in this case with -imageNamed: As the image gets scrolled out of the preloading range, it's not needed anymore. It would be bad if it tries to cache thousands of images while the user scrolls and scrolls and scrolls. And if I would find a way to stuff new image data into the UIImage object for re-using it, then what happens with the old image that was cached?
So there is one method left, that seems interesting: -initWithContentsOfFile:
This does not cache the image. And it doesn't use -autorelease, which is good in this case.
Do you think that in this case it would be better to use -initWithContentsOfFile:?

The midfielder was devastated when the Hoops were dumped out by St Mirren in Sunday's semi-final clash at Hampden. The shock 3-2 defeat cost them a meeting with Hearts in the final and ended any hopes of a domestic treble this season.
But, having already booked their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, and with another Clydesdale Bank Premier League title looking likely, Ledley knows there is still plenty to look forward to.
He said: "We've got the SPL, the Champions League and the other cup as well. We just need to concentrate on those, take it game by game and rebuild and go again.
"We've had a fantastic achievement already to get into the last 16 of the Champions League and hopefully we can get a fantastic result against Juventus and go from there. We know it's going to be difficult but hopefully we can achieve it."
Celtic had been strong favourites ahead of the cup tie but it was Saints who drew first blood when Esmael Goncalves marked his debut with a goal. Gary Hooper levelled just before the break but Charlie Mulgrew failed to hand Celtic the advantage when he saw a poor penalty saved.
Mulgrew then conceded a spot-kick of his own, which was tucked away by Paul McGowan, before Steven Thompson struck for the Paisley club. Mulgrew netted with what proved to be the last kick of the game, as Celtic left it far too late to rescue the tie.
Ledley said: "We are devastated as a team. It wasn't a good performance at all from us.
"It was a sore one for us and we just didn't get going. I'm not too sure why that was the case.
"We will probably watch the video again and see what happened. We were unlucky again but we need to punish teams from the off."

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama Forestry Commission has sent
another 14 firefighters to Texas to help fight wildfires.
The commission says two strike teams have gone to replace the
dozen firefighters that have returned from a two-week deployment in
the Kingsville and Edinburg areas of south Texas. The new crew also
will spend 14 days there.
The region is suffering extreme drought conditions making it a
tinderbox for wildfires. Since the first of the year, about 14,000
wildfires have burned more than 700,000 acres and almost 1,200
structures in Texas.
The deployment is part of a firefighting agreement Alabama has
with other southern states.

Man charged in wheelchair skirmishDecember 03,2012ST. JOHNSBURY A 71-year-old Vermont man is facing charges after allegedly trying to run down an elderly neighbor with his motorized wheelchair.
Gordon Kiefer of St. Johnsbury pleaded not guilty last week to a misdemeanor charge of violating an abuse prevention order.
The Caledonian-Record reported that 70-year-old Barbara Elzohairy told police that Kiefer came at her one afternoon last month while she was looking in a shoe store window on a downtown sidewalk. She said she jumped into a doorway to avoid being hit.
Elzohairy lives in the same downtown apartment building as Kiefer and has had a prevention from abuse order against him since June. She said this was the second time Kiefer had tried to hurt her with his wheelchair.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia University and ex-coach Rich Rodriguez will get their day in court.
Judge Robert Stone set an April 3 hearing date in Monongalia County Circuit Court. Stone will hear several motions and counterclaims filed in WVU's lawsuit over a $4 million buyout clause in Rodriguez's contract.
Among the motions are orders to compel Rodriguez to produce evidence and a request to expedite the trial. Both sides have indicated a desire to finish before football season.
Rodriguez resigned in December after seven seasons with the Mountaineers to take the head coaching job at Michigan, taking some of his coaches and recruits with him.
WVU claims Rodriguez owes the full amount he agreed to pay in his contract. Rodriguez claims he signed that agreement under false pretenses, expecting certain verbal promises from the administration to be kept. They included the reduction or elimination of the buyout clause -- a promise WVU denies.
Depositions of Rodriguez and athletic director Ed Pastilong were scheduled for this month, but WVU attorney Tom Flaherty said Friday those will be conducted in April.
WVU sued Rodriguez Dec. 27, sparking a bitter public feud with charges and countercharges of lying and destruction of documents. The case was briefly sent to federal court, where a judge decided the case should be heard in state court.
His resignation shocked fans and the team headed for the Fiesta Bowl. The gradual disintegration of the relationship between Rodriguez and the WVU Athletic Department was documented in a series of e-mails outlining the coach's failed attempts to gain more control of the football program.

PS4 reveal could feature a God of War announcement – rumour
PS4 is expected to be revealed tonight, along with a string of debut games. God of War developer Sony Santa Monica Studio has dropped a mighty big tease about something that could be Kratos-flavoured for tonight.
Could this be a new PS4 God of War title, or would it be too soon considering God of War: Ascension is yet to release?

Electronics and electrical circuitry may have significant application to the natural sciences, particularly the study of nervous mechanisms. To attract the physical scientists' interest and to provide an empirical biological background, Wooldridge has produced this review of brain function, designed for the lay reader, and published in paperback format.
In well-organized fashion the book progresses from the neuron and its electrical properties to the complexities of conscious mental processes. Even though the straightforward biological descriptions of these first five chapters are clearly written, and the comparison of nerve structure and function to electronic devices is often apt and enlightening, this first portion is occasionally tiresome. In the ensuing chapters, the book becomes alive. The same lucid style of writing combines with absorbing content. Current knowledge of the brain's higher functions— emotion and consciousness, personality and speech, memory and learning—is expounded. The well-chosen reports of experimental progress illuminate and add color

How come we feel so bad when we've got it so good? Even after a 12% gain in the S&P 500 index this year, uncertainty about the fiscal cliff, increased taxes, and still-high unemployment continue to wear down investors. Year to date, domestic equity funds have seen $110 billion in net outflows.
The new year could bring more of the same if economic uncertainty fails to lift, making the key question for investors not which way the market is headed in 2013, but which stocks are going to go up.
For the third year in a row, Barron's is taking a crack at that question, with our 10 Favorite Stocks for 2013, including blue-chips like Apple aapl -0.12459267778416715% Apple Inc.

No matter which way the market goes, well-run companies should be able to deliver higher revenue and profits, even in a tough environment. All of our new favorites could produce 15% to 20% total returns (including dividends) next year. Here's a closer look:
APPLE is still going strong, even as the company's shares have traded down 23%, to around $540, from a September peak of $705. None of the recent investor concerns -- lower margins, supply constraints, management changes, iPad competition, and the iPhone 5 map fiasco -- are major. It's true that Apple's earnings growth has slowed to a 23% rate from more than 100% a year ago, but that's understandable, given the company's $156 billion in annual sales.
Veteran UBS tech analyst Steve Milunovich recently wrote that it's a "good time" to add to positions in Apple before year end, with the stock trading near its lowest price/earnings ratio in five years after two disappointing quarters. He carries a price target of $780. Apple trades for only 11 times projected profit of $49 a share in its current fiscal year, ending in September 2013. Strip out Apple's huge cash holding of $128 a share, and the effective P/E is just eight.
Even after implementing a dividend -- now providing a 1.9% yield -- and a modest buyback program, Apple should build cash at a rate of $40 billion annually. There's room for a higher dividend and a more aggressive share-repurchase program in 2013. Both could play well with investors.
BARNES & NOBLE'S bookstore division dominates the field, and the company's Nook e-reader unit is holding its own against Amazon.com AMZN 0.8237998432122879% Amazon.com Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD758.81 6.2 0.8237998432122879% /Date(1469826000284-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 6662071 AFTER HOURS USD758.06 -0.75 -0.09883897154755472% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 114979 P/E Ratio 188.75870646766168 Market Cap 359732094672.976 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 522691 More quote details and news » (AMZN) and Apple. These achievements aren't reflected in Barnes & Noble's depressed stock price, which is flat this year at around $14. The stores now control almost two-thirds of the country's retail shelf space for books and are expected to generate more than $300 million of pretax cash flow in the fiscal year ending in April. The stores could be worth the entire current stock price -- Barnes & Noble has an equity value of just $880 million.
The Nook division is losing money, but that reflects a market-share grab, as Barnes & Noble seeks to get its e-readers into the hands of as many consumers as possible and then sell them profitable digital content, including books and magazine subscriptions. Microsoft MSFT 0.8361501512186443% Microsoft Corp.

That implies that Barnes & Noble's 82.4% of Nook is worth $1.4 billion, or $24 a share.

BLACKROCK received a big vote of confidence this fall when director James Grosfeld purchased nearly 500,000 shares of the investment manager in the open market for $94 million, one of the largest insider purchases in the past decade. Grosfeld, a former CEO of Pulte Homes, wouldn't comment, but he clearly sees value in BlackRock shares, which have lagged behind those of its peers this year.
BlackRock, at $193, is valued at 13 times projected 2013 profit of $15 a share, a slight discount to its rivals; it yields 3.1%. BlackRock is the No. 1 investment manager, overseeing $3.7 trillion in assets. Its iShares is the leading provider of exchange-traded funds, with half of the market.
The three main concerns about BlackRock are that it's too big to grow, that competitive pressure in ETFs from Vanguard will push down fees, and that longtime CEO Larry Fink, viewed as one of his industry's best executives, might leave for the top job at the U.S. Treasury Department. (See Feature "Madame Treasury Secretary?".)
Bulls such as Morgan Stanley analyst Matthew Kelley see double-digit earnings growth next year, driven by iShares. Fink has dismissed talk that he wants to succeed soon-to-retire Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. "I'm not leaving this job," Fink said last week. "I will be at BlackRock as long as my board wants me here."
GENERAL DYNAMICS is best known as a defense contractor, but unlike its peers, it has a valuable nondefense business that isn't reflected in its share price. Gulfstream, a leading maker of corporate jets, produces almost 30% of General Dynamics' profits, and that percentage should rise in the next few years, with deliveries of Gulfstream's new top-of-the-line plane, the G650, which sells for $60 million and can fly nonstop from New York to Tokyo.

Gulfstream is expected to generate more than $2 a share of that. Put a P/E multiple of 14 on that contribution, and the private-jet business could be worth $30 per General Dynamics share. This suggests that the defense business -- including tanks, other armored vehicles, and nuclear submarines -- is valued at just seven times forward earnings. Defense contractors face tighter Pentagon appropriations, but the industry probably will avoid draconian reductions in spending, assuming Congress and the president reach a budget deal.
Barclays analyst Carter Copeland argues that General Dynamics could be the only major defense contractor to show higher operating profits through 2015. Incoming CEO Phebe Novakovic, who takes the top job on Jan. 1, could be a positive catalyst. What could be in store? A higher dividend, more aggressive share buybacks, or even a Gulfstream spinoff. The company has rejected the spinoff idea, but some investors think Novakovic might reconsider. Copeland's price target: $87.
JPMORGAN CHASE is a best-in-class bank, trading at a below-average price. At around $42, its shares fetch just eight times projected 2013 profit of $5.31 a share. That's one of the lowest price/earnings ratios among major banks.

MARATHON PETROLEUM is a leader among independent oil refiners, one of the strongest industry groups in the stock market during 2012. Now trading at about $60, the stock could hit $82, according to Morgan Stanley energy analyst Evan Calio. Refiners have benefited from the boom in oil production in the central U.S. and western Canada, which has enabled them to buy crude at a discount to world prices, bolstering profit margins. That favorable price gap is expected to remain in place next year.

NOVARTIS combines one of the pharmaceutical industry's best profit outlooks with an overlooked sum-of-the-parts story. At $62 -- 12 times projected 2013 profits -- the giant Swiss drug maker trades in line with its global peers. Its shares yield 3.4%. Profits at Novartis are expected to be down this year, in part because of the loss of U.S. patent protection for the blockbuster blood-pressure drug Diovan. But earnings are likely to rise next year.
Key drivers include Gilenya, a new drug for multiple sclerosis. Novartis also owns Alcon, a leading eye-care outfit, and Sandoz, one of the world's top generic-drug makers. Novartis doesn't get much credit for Alcon, which it bought in 2011 in a deal that valued Alcon at about $55 billion. Bernstein drug analyst Tim Anderson writes that Novartis "has one of the best revenue and EPS-growth profiles through 2016." He carries an Outperform rating and a $71 price target.

Headquartered in The Hague, Royal Dutch has bet big on huge liquefied-natural-gas projects in Australia and elsewhere; it now gets about half of its energy output from gas. That exposure worries investors for two reasons: First, the cost of massive LNG projects is rising, running into tens of billions of dollars; and second, the current link of LNG prices to oil could weaken. However, prices for internationally traded gas -- which mostly goes to the Asian market -- are much higher than those in the U.S.
The LNG concerns seem overdone, and Royal Dutch has the wherewithal to complete existing projects, even if oil prices fall moderately. Royal Dutch looks like a low-risk way to play the energy market.

(NWSA, the publisher of Barron's) all have gained about 30%. Viacom fetches 11 times projected 2013 profit, a sharp discount to its peers' average 13.
The shares have been hurt by persistent rating declines at the cable networks, mainly Nickelodeon. The bull case is that Viacom is steadily going private through one of the media industry's most aggressive share-buyback programs. That could lift the stock in 2013. Viacom repurchased more than 10% of its stock in its fiscal year ended in September, and a comparable buyback is expected in fiscal 2013.
Hits and Misses
Our list of stock picks for 2012 is nicely outpacing the S&P. Our home runs: Comcast and Seagate. Two strikeouts: Vodafone and Royal Dutch, a stock we think will bounce back strongly in 2013.
Viacom could fetch a sizable premium in a takeover, thanks to its valuable cable assets. The company is controlled by Sumner Redstone, 90. While Redstone plans to pass on his stake to his grandchildren, unexpected things can happen after the death of a controlling shareholder. Analysts at Gabelli have put Viacom's private-market value at $86 a share in 2014.
WESTERN DIGITAL and rival disk-drive maker Seagate have languished amid worries about the future of the PC market. The two major players trade at single-digit price/earnings ratios. Our preference now is for Western Digital, wdc -11.527001862197393% Western Digital Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD47.51 -6.19 -11.527001862197393% /Date(1469826000323-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 17619524 AFTER HOURS USD47.52 0.01 0.021048200378867607% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 39426 P/E Ratio 37.70634920634921 Market Cap 13371071954.3751 Dividend Yield 4.209640075773521% Rev. per Employee 169970 More quote details and news » which has badly trailed Seagate this year. At $37, the shares trade for less than five times projected profits of $7.65 a share.
The disk-drive market remains substantial, with annual sales of more than 500 million storage devices. While PC sales aren't growing, demand for storage is, and other forms of memory are too costly for storing massive amounts of data. And since Seagate and Western Digital control more than 80% of the market, pricing pressures are unlikely. Western Digital has a strong balance sheet, with $1.4 billion, or $5 per share, in net cash. Given that and its earnings power, a leveraged buyout of the company is possible.
The company has pledged to earmark half of its free cash flow for stock buybacks and dividends, and there's room to boost the payout, which at 2.7% is just half of Seagate's. Needham analyst Richard Kugele has a Strong Buy rating on Western Digital and a $46 price target.

This paper examines the role of the police in supporting community based mental health services for the chronically mentally ill in a mid-sized midwestern city. Cooperation between the police and mental health system, as reflected in training and procedural agreements for emergency evaluations and hospitalization, achieves the conversion of the police to a medical model view of mental illness which stresses the importance and effectiveness of medication compliance so that the police will act upon this belief in their handling of the mentally ill. However, police recognition of the limits of the medical model and organizational change impacts upon cooperative police practices. Police experience conflict over the assumed therapeutic goals of community treatment and the important gatekeeping function community mental health systems perform under deinstitutionalization. Erosion of the police belief in the effectiveness of community mental health, and the resulting change in practices, may provide an important, yet partial, counterbalance to the control exerted by the medical model. The availability of police authority to assure compliance, or in some cases to reinforce the consequences of non-compliance with medication, raises questions about police-mental health relationships that are too cooperative.

I've set up WordPress a while back and it a nice piece of software; except that it seems that anyone can post whatever random junk comments (usually for various pills, adult websites, gambling etc.) they like on it.
This is completely off topic from what my website is about, so I've set the options that anyone who wants to comment should register first, and all comments should be approved by a moderator.
Yet still I'm getting streams of often incoherent rubbish posted by bizarrely named users, who definitely didn't register before posting their silly comments. And it's only the fact that I'm deleting this rubbish that stops it popping up on my website and getting me in trouble with my web host, whos T&C specifically prohibits adult and offensive material.
Please fix this bug in the next release, because it's taking me an awful lot of time to remove all this mess. And I'd much rather be writing interesting articles than dealing with ill-mannered lunatics.
Additionally, most of these disgusting links seem to be hosted by a domain called nameintel.com. I've tried complaining to these people to shut down the offending pages, but nameintel.com won't respond to me, so I've escalated the problem to the next tier, a company called spry.com and they won't respond to me either.
Since you're the experts, please advice who I can talk to in order to stop this nuisance, until you can fix the issue. Otherwise I'm just going to have to stop using WordPress; because what started out as some fun writing that quite a lot of people seemed to enjoy reading and commenting on is now causing me much too much stress and headache.

Tascosa Golf Club and its members recently donated 96 turkeys — approximately 1 ton — to the High Plains Food Bank.
The benefit came through a promotion run by the golf club in an effort to give back to the community.
For every turkey donated by a member, Tascosa Golf Club gave a gift certificate for a free round of golf with cart for the member to bring a guest at no charge to the member.
The result was a win/win situation for both the members and the food bank. The last truckload of turkeys went to the food bank on Nov. 25.
