Health care on the sick list
"Initiative 695 will force the Bremerton-Kitsap County Health District to make drastic budget cuts next year.Its director, Dr. Willa Fisher, explained the district must reduce its budget by at least $750,000 to compensate for the loss of state motor vehicle excise tax funds next year. Health district number-crunchers expected to get $618,024 next year in vehicle tax money. Theyll have to cut more than that from programs because some of the district services generate revenue from fees and contracts.District grant money will also be lost because many of the grants are contingent on matching funds that the agency can no longer afford.Fisher said she expected the district to significantly increase environmental and health fees to a point where the programs pay for themselves. This could limit access to district services for people who cant afford to pay.State-mandated services like communicable disease response and prevention, sexually transmitted disease clinics and HIV/AIDS counseling and testing will be preserved despite the budget cuts, but at a lower level of service, according to Fisher.In a health board memo, Fisher said the cutbacks could severely limit childhood immunizations, the districts ability to deal with communicable disease outbreaks, and tests for sexually transmitted diseases and HIV.Of the unmandated programs, district officials proposed eliminating the Child Health Advocate program, which is aimed at reducing child abuse and neglect through positive intervention and prevention services provided on an individual family basis, Fishers memo states.The health board, comprised of mayors, city council members and the Kitsap County Commissioners, will vote on the proposed reductions in December. On Jan. 1, 2000, I-695 will prohibit any tax or fee increase that is not authorized by voters."

The life of your dreams, everything you would love to be, do or have, has always been closer to you than you knew... because the power to everything you want is inside you.
The positive force of love can create anything good, increase the good things and change anything negative in your life.
Whatever you give out in life is... what you receive back in life.
Without exception, every person who has a great life used love to achieve it. The power to have all the positive and good things in life is love.
You are creating your life with your thoughts and your feelings. Whatever you think and feel creates everything that happens to you and everything you experience in life.
You can change your life, because you have an unlimited ability to think and talk about what you love, and so you have an unlimited ability to bring everything good in life to you.
Lord Byron 1788 - 1824

Live by intuition and inspiration and let your whole life be a revelation.
Start each day in my peace and stillness, then you can go forth and face whatever the day may bring, in perfect peace and joy.

Life is just a vehicle through which you get to unleash your presence.
The quality of your life is determined by the clarity of your connection to yourself.
Your commitment to honouring your perfection and potential is the key that opens the door to endless days of vitality, abundance and love. Your connection to your health and spirituality is not sourced from your identity or your mind. It is sourced from the Soul. This deeper place - your authentic Soul Signature - is where we have to go to find the truth of your being.
Your Soul Signature is your spiritual DNA - who you are at your core, the most authentic part of you. When we begin to tap into our inherent power, step out of the shadows of fear and self-doubt, and begin living and speaking our truth, we're healthier, happier and in harmony with ourselves.

Every single person who's drifted in and out of your life is a part of your divinely chosen experience. So, give thanks for all of these people, and take serious note of what they brought you.
Don't die with your music still in you.
Know that success and inner peace are your birthright, that you are a child of God and as such that you're entitled to a life filled with joy, love and happiness.
Love what you do and do what you love.
It's as simple as that.
Loving people live in a loving world.
Hostile people live in a hostile world.
But it's the same world.
On your daily journeys, listen to those inner signals that help you make the right choices, no matter what anyone thinks.
Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
The only limits you have are the limits you believe.
Truly believe in the potential for humans to live in peace and be receptive to all, and you'll be someone who's at peace and receptive to life's possibilities.
Truth is not something that you look for, it's something that you live.
When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor...

The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are...
Goodness, Beauty and Truth.
The one who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The one who walks alone, is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.

There are only two ways to live your life.
One - as though nothing is a miracle.

for only those that do, get to experience them.

Think less... Do more.

The moment you accept responsibility for EVERYTHING in your life,

only learn, grow and become better than you've ever been before.

but where you go depends entirely on who you choose to be.

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.

Emmet Fox 1886 - 1951
The story of your life is really the story of the relations between yourself and God.
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer,
no disease that enough love will not heal,
no door that enough love will not open...
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble,
how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough
you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world.
Whatever you experience in your life is really but the out-picturing of your own thoughts and beliefs. Now, you can change these thoughts and beliefs, and then the outer picture must change too. The outer picture cannot change until you change your thought.

Think of all the beauty still left around you... and be happy.
Benjamin Franklin 1706 - 1790
Happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.
There was never a good war or a bad peace.
Morgan Freeman 1937
Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen...
that stillness becomes radiance.

It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749 - 1832
It is not doing the things we like to do, but liking the thing we have to do, that makes life blessed.

A section of Northwest Thompson Road that was closed when a culvert overflowed early Monday has opened, but only for local traffic.
Mike Pullen, spokesman for Multnomah County, said Monday afternoon that the section that has reopened is between Northwest Cornell Road and 53rd Drive. The road had to be closed while county crews worked to unplug a blockage that was causing the culvert to overflow after last night's heavy rainfall.
Pullen said water has receded but debris must still be cleared away. He said that through traffic should use alternate routes such as Cornell for the time being.

GUNTERSVILLE - Raw oysters, fried oysters, steamed oysters, grilled oysters, oysters Bienville - the list seems neverending. In truth, these are just a beginning.
Wintzell's Oyster House is the ultimate seafood restaurant. It brings 70-plus years of Gulf Coast tradition to the banks of the Tennessee River. And it offers much more than oysters.
This is the first franchised restaurant under the Wintzell's name, which began as a six-stool oyster bar in 1938. It was on Mobile's historic Dauphin Street and owned by J. Oliver Wintzell.
New owners took over in the 1970s and began expanding into other Gulf Coast towns. But they kept the rustic look and the trademark sayings penned by the founder. The motto here is "Oysters - fried, stewed and nude."
Seafood selections cover the spectrum from boiled shrimp to oysters Rockefeller. Oysters on the half shell cost $8.99 per dozen, and appetizers range from $6.99 for fried dill pickles to $9.99 for a basket of crawfish tails.
The pickles are very good - crisp slices served with ranch dressing. Fried green tomatoes are plump, nicely breaded and smothered with the restaurant's crawfish sauce.
That same sauce flavors crabcakes and provides the base for shrimp and grits. The restaurant serves shrimp and crawfish etouffee, Cajun seafood fettuccini and seafood au gratin. Prices range from $13.99 to $15.99.
An oyster sampler for $17.99 includes four each of the restaurant's oysters Monterey, Bienville, Rockefeller and famous grilled. Fried oysters are lightly battered and very good, costing $15.99 on the dinner menu. They are also on the J.O. platter, a fried sampler for $18.99 at dinner, or the junior J.O. for $8.99 at lunch. Oyster poboy sandwiches cost $8.99.
Fish dinners include grouper, mahi mahi, red snapper, tilapia, flounder and catfish. Each can be grilled, blackened or broiled, and four distinctive sauces are available.
Don't miss the grand finale at Wintzell's. Homemade banana or bread pudding are the basics, but the restaurant also serves delightful Snickers pie and "better than your mama's" chocolate cake. They cost $3.99 to $4.99.
From the lakeside setting to the delightful desserts this is one sweet restaurant.

Shoot. Now I need to figure out if it is the cheese or the wine causing me to be bloated so much of the time. Dairyfree March, maybe? I'll try to back off the wine once this job is finished and before I start the next heavy duty outside project. There is just something about rewarding myself with a nice glass of wine when I have been busting tail all day.
Need to start paying more attention to hunger signals and not eating just because it is meal time.

Jocketty: 'It's been very quiet'
The non-waivers Trade Deadline is less than a week away (Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET) and there hasn't been much in the way of rumblings from the Reds.
"It's very quiet. There have been a lot of conversations but nothing of substance," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said on Thursday during batting practice at Dodger Stadium.
Jocketty and much of his inner circle is on the road trip. Among the things the Reds have their eye on is a right-handed bat to help the offense. But the team is in a situation where they feel they can afford to wait on the return of left fielder and right-handed bat Ryan Ludwick, who began a rehab assignment on Wednesday. It's a similar situation with pitching as the Reds await the return of ace Johnny Cueto and key relievers Jonathan Broxton and Sean Marshall.
"When we get them back, it strengthens our club even more," Jocketty said. "I don't want to trade prospects to improve the club.
"Unless something develops in the next week, I'm not sure you'll see us do anything."
I will have more from Jocketty in my Reds notebook tonight — including his thoughts on whether the July 31 deadline should get pushed back.
11 Comments
Does he know we are 5 games out and can't afford to lose anymore ground.
Cardinals haven't beat a team with a winning record since 6/29 and they haven't won a series over a team with winning record since beating the Reds on 6/7 thru 6/9. They have four straight series coming up against teams with winning records. I'm not worried just yet.
I agree with Joketty right now. I dont want to give up the few elite prospects we have right now. I would not hate giving up Hamilton, still not sure he is the real deal. I dont want to give up anymore pitching. Gone are the power days, now pitching wins… I would also love this team to be able to make a run for Choo at end of year.
Reds can definitely keep Choo, but to do that, they have to trade Latos, Bailey, or Cueto, because they can't pay all three of them big money for the long term. I think you'll see one of them gone in the next couple of years. If Cingrani and Stephenson are here full time in two years, the Reds would have money to pay Choo.
Really it seems the biggest mistake has been the purchase of our bullpen. Latos, Bailey and Cueto are very cost effective right now for at least 2 or 3 more years. But with the Broxton move that really seems to have limited this club. I would think the Choo signing would bring in such an Asian import of sales that it would pay for itself. Especially if the Reds market that just right. You have to think Cingrani takes Arroyo spot unless they re-sign Arroyo and trade Bailey while the price is high. I like his potential but he just doesnt seem like a personality fit on this team. I could be completely wrong.
How did Greg Reynolds seem to you guys? Is he a 'possible' for a future rotation?
The two biggest money makers for a MLB team are attendance and local tv rights. Both of those revenue streams are projected to increase; as did our overall salaries for the last few seasons…
2011 – $75.9m
2012 – $82.2m
2013 – $107.5m
Also, we already have a few players that need to be signed; Bailey and Latos.
From all I have seen and read, Choo will be requesting a contract in the $12-$13m range for 3+ seasons. Also, from what I have read, he likes the Reds and probably would like to play for the Reds for several years, however he was told by Boras to not discuss the future until the end of the season. I personally do not see us signing Choo to such a healthy contract. What would help the Reds make dollar decisions for next season would be for us to make the playoffs and have a number of playoff home games; pure gravy! One last note, any Reds' fan should be thanking their lucky stars for our current owner; Castellini, because the last few (Schott, Lindner) before him didn't know what they were doing and deprived fans of any kind of competitive team. Castellini is a godsend and we, the fans, will reap the benefits of his ownership.
if the reds give choo the qualifying offer will we then get the additional first round pick if he refuses?
I can't imagine the Reds trading Bailely, Latos or Cueto. They didn't trade Bailey when he was mediocre; now that he appears to have learned how to pitch, can't see him leaving the Reds. He is only 27 and he sports a 3.84 ERA. He is very strong and just now coming into his power years (27-31). Latos is also very strong and very durable and very young (25). His has a 3.39 ERA and a number of prospects were traded for him, so I don't see him not being a Red for years to come. Cueto is Cueto and if he can resolve his injury, the Reds couldn't and wouldn't trade their #1 starter. Resolving his injury finally and completely should be their #1 priority. They have achieved what they have achieved while missing Cueto, Marshall and Broxton for much of the season. All should not play a game until 100% healed.
I bet they can keep Choo if Arroyo walks away. All of Arroyo's money put toward Choo is a pretty significant amount.
It is a fair amount; $11.5m. However, we need to keep in mind that Bailey and Latos are in need of extended contracts. The other hurdle the Reds would need to scale if they signed Choo to a long term agreement, what about Hamilton and their lengthy investment…what would they do with him? In my view, I would put my chips down on Robinson. As I indicated in another post, I would school him in the off season for CF next year; let Choo go and deal Hamilton for another necessary piece. Robinson has proven that he can hit MLB pitching; Hamilton, of course, has not.

And I had a tooth bothering me a little so less chewing meant less aggravating it.
I am a complete failure at not eating breakfast. I am going to try to eat my last meal between 4 and 5 pm, so I can have breakfast once I get to the office between 6 and 7 am, and still maintain the minimal 14 hour window. I have never been good at skipping dinner either, but maybe if I have <50 calories snack allowed in the LG protocol before bed, I can do it.
I can't try tonight since it would mean eating a protein bar, and the good food won't be available until after 6 pm, but I will make arrangements tomorrow.

Fat 2 Fit - One Woman's Journey
Unfortunately doesn't apply in my case, since I have to cook and feed the rest of the family Even if I pack everybody's lunches in the evening (which I hate doing because I am so tired, and it will get soggy overnight), I still need to make my husband's breakfast in the morning, and what I am going to do while it's cooking? Might as well pack lunches. But that's get me to handling tons of food right off the bat at 4 am, so by the time I get to the office at 6, I really want breakfast. I dunno, fasting never makes things easier. I used to think that maybe it is easier since I don't lag food to the office, but then I get so hungry that I will go shop for food at lunch break, and it is far pricier even if I get to a grocery store than what I buy in bulk. And now when I have to workout after work, I hit the worst low of the day just as I leave work at 2;30 and by the time I get to the gym at 3:30 it is so hard to get going. The day gym starts opening at 5 am instead of 5:30 am will be the happiest day of my life!!!

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
I have never been a breakfast person, so unintentionally I have been sort of IF-ing all my life. Since going Primal I have made a few adjustments. Mainly eating my first meal around 1:30 - 2 pm. and my second and last one before 7. Now, sometimes (mostly during PMS) I'd feel like having a small snack in between or before bed time, but I try to resist it if I can.
There are days when I'm busy with work or something or simply don't feel hungry so I just have one very large meal in the evening.
I also work out in the morning in semi-fasted state, meaning after my cup of coffee with just a splash of cream.
For people who are uncomfortable going 14-20 hours everyday without food, couldn't you pick maybe one day a week and not eat from supper to supper that day? I used to do that from Sunday night to Monday night and it always seemed a good way to start the week.
I sometimes end up eating 2 meals between 7am and 1pm, then not eating until breakfast the next day. Any reason why I shouldn't eat more in the morning as opposed to eating more in the evening? Just it seems more "normal" to skip breakfast rather than dinner...

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
I am in a regular routine of skipping breakfast, so I guess IF just sort of happens. I eat at noon, and as late as 10pm, sometimes midnight, so my if window ranges from 12 to 16 hours depending on the day.
I decided on Monday night at about midnight that I was going to fast. It's been 38 hours now and am pretty comfortable with it. I'll probably last 42-44 hours total and have some dinner tonight to eat some of the leftovers in the fridge.
I miss long fasts. 8/16's are so routine now, and I can easily eat a days worth of calories in a meal or two so weight loss never really happens anymore. I'm curious to see how alternate day fasting will work. I'm thinking of giving it a try, and skipping meals on Sunday, Tuesday and most of Thursday. I haven't decided yet.
I believe the eating cycle helps to regulate the circadian rhythm. I always kept feeling extremely full after waking up from a night of free bingeing after 20-24 hour fasts, so now I am eating 3 meals a day, with breakfast being just broth around 7am, a large lunch around 11-1 and dinner around 7 of eating only easily digestible things.
My sleep quality has definitely improved, and my workout recovery has been a lot better. As a result, I have improved my lifts somewhat after plateuing for months, and I feel more energetic in general, with less overall stiffness. My weight has been the same the entire time I began fasting to after I began this new eating cycle, although I think I lost a bit of fat and packed on ever MORE muscle, although if I am glycogen-depleted, my pants begin to feel really loose.
My husband does the cooking in our house, but it's twice a day only. He does breakfast for DS who eats it while DH makes and packs lunches, snacks, and our breakfast (which we eat at 11/12). It takes him about an hour all-told. Then in the evening, he makes a quick dinner (30 minutes or less), and sometiems we stew or roast something which will be lunches/snacks the next day.
this is different than before when DH was eating 5-6 times a day, making 3-4 fresh meals and then also having snacks, which meant a lot of time spent eating and in the kitchen comparatively.

Episode: 11-14-11: Counterpoint host Scott Harris discusses the campaign to stop the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline; the European economic crisis; the recent IAEA report on Iran's nuclear program & Occupy Wall Street's international outreach
Counterpoint, hosted by Scott Harris heard every Monday on WPKN 89.5 FM,Bridgeport, CT between 8:00-10:00 pm ET. Webstreaming and audio archives at http://wpkn.org
Susan Casey-Lefkowitz , director of the international program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, discusses their ongoing campaign to stop the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would cross the continent from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico - and their reaction to the Obama administration's announcement of a 12-18 month review of the environmental impact of the project, that will effectively delay any decision on the pipeline until after the 2012 presidential election.
Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research assesses the causes and proposed solutions to the Eurozone's current economic crisis, discussing the deflationary effect of deep cuts in government spending, the shrinking of the public sector and the possibility of indebted nations such as Greece, moving to drop the Euro as their currency.
Darryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, who analyzes the recently released report from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which provides information on Iran's nuclear program and new details on what they say is that nation's development of nuclear warheads. Kimball will discuss the likely reaction from the U.S., Europe, Russia and China, as Israel and some GOP presidential candidates call for military airstrikes against Iranian nuclear research facilities.
Nathan Schneider, editor of the online journal Waging Nonviolence, talks about his recent trip to Athens where he attended a meeting between an Occupy Wall Street organizer and a number of Greek activists involved in neighborhood assemblies in that nation which is actively resisting European Union-imposed austerity policies. His reporting offers a unique perspective on the new global movement that is emerging, as well as a possible preview of how the U.S. Occupy movement might look a year or two down the road.

BRIDGETON — Bank of America on Monday will open a temporary mobile banking center near the facility whose roof partially collapsed last weekend, company spokesman T.J. Crawford said.
The red RV-like truck with a satellite dish will allow customers to perform normal transactions in the parking lot on Cohansey Street opposite the building now undergoing repairs, Crawford said.
He added that safe deposit boxes were still located inside the old building, and night drops would not occur at the mobile banking center.
Customers can also visit the bank's branch at 60 Cornwell Drive in Upper Deerfield Township.
Crawford said he had no word on when repairs would be completed to the old bank building at Commerce and Laurel streets.
City construction code official Robert Mixner said the same. Construction crews and an architect will likely inform police and fire officials when it is safe to allow traffic to pass in the bank's immediate area.
Mixner said on Wednesday that crews were removing damaged portions of the bank's roof and needed to finish stabilizing the roof altogether.

BATON ROUGE -- State lawmakers will be getting paid $3 a day less when they attend their annual legislative sessions, special sessions or are on official state business, legislative officials said Monday.
House Clerk Alfred "Butch" Speer said the the per diem allowance for lawmakers went from $152 to $149 as of Saturday. The drop is the second year in a row that lawmakers' allowance fell. In 2010, it went from $159 to $152.
Since 2009, legislators' daily food and lodging allowances have fallen by $10.
The increase or decrease of the per diem is based on the federal government's costs for its employees to travel in various parts of the nation.
Speer said the new per diem allows $93 for lodging and $56 for meals in the Baton Rouge area; last year, the federal guidelines allowed $96 for lodging and $56 for meals.
The rates will remain in place until next Oct. 1, 2012, Speer said.
Lawmakers get the per diem for every day they are in session, attend meetings between sessions or are on official state business.
Speer said lawmakers are paid 51 cents a mile to travel, a penny more than in 2010. The rate will be re-evalauted by the federal government and a new rate may go into effect as of Jan. 1.
Lawmakers who live in the same parish where they attend meetings do not qualify for the mileage payments.
Based on the drop in the per diem, the Legislature will save about $37,000 of its $46.4 million operating budget for the House and Senate, based on a 60-day session held in an 85-day period, starting in March.
Even though the session does not last 85 days, lawmakers are paid for the entire 85-day period.
In addition to the mileage and per diem, lawmakesr are paid a salary of $16,800 a year and get a $6,000 annual unvouchered expense allowance.

And an exaggerated weekend at that.
We left home on Wednesday and went wherever whim took us.
We ate out, cruised the back roads, and slept in lovely rooms that I didn't have to clean in the morning.
It was, I kept thinking, a last hurrah before our accountant called with the news of how many thousands we owed Uncle Sam this year.
A last breather before I have to scramble to get my winter chores finished and begin the spring outdoor work.
For the working middle class, it seems the tax burden just gets worse and worse. We wait for the other shoe to fall this time of year. Getting away is my coping mechanism. I didn't think about taxes once, except on our first day when I sorted receipts for two hours in the car while my husband drove.
Last year, the feds took all the money I'd saved for a trip to Germany.
God willing, we will have enough left after April 15 to go to Starbucks for a latte.
Once a liberal who wanted to share with the world, I've become fed up with handouts.
I'm not talking about welfare for people who are emotionally, physically or mentally disabled. I want them to get enough to live decently from those of us who are in temporary escape from disaster.
So we sailed through four days of fun, knowing we would have to shell out an enormous amount of money that hardly makes working worth anything other than the satisfaction of carrying our own weight.
We were en route home to reality with the stuff for the accountant in neat piles in the trunk. It was 11 p.m. We had our favorite '60s music on the radio, and I was reading a wonderful novel, "Someone Knows My Name," when my husband started talking about the coming need to replace our car — a 2000 silver Cadillac with 160,000 on its odometer.
"Well," I said, as I always do. "Let's wait until it dies."
I have a friend, Marianne, who always says: "A car payment a month for a year adds up to a trip to Europe."
And it does.
I repeated her mantra.
With all due respect to all the car vendors out there, I must say I despise cars.
They are like children who never leave home. You are continually spending money on them, insuring them and feeding them various nutrients. When I buy tires, I want to invite friends to come by for a drink so they can ooh and aah over them.
I know wealthy people who drive cars until the wheels fall off. I have a friend, well into the front ranks of multimillionaires, who just sold his 1990 Lexus. And no, that isn't a misprint.
I went back to my reading thinking the issue was settled when Carl said: "Dear!"
I was momentarily confused. He doesn't call me dear — thank goodness.
I looked up just as we broadsided a very large doe.
We escaped the additional shock of the air bags, which didn't go explode into our faces.
Carl got out to look for the deer which had been propelled through the night sky into a ditch.
She was breathing. Her left ear was twitching. So was her right hind hoof.
Carl called the police and told them to hurry, that the deer was alive.
A sheriff's deputy arrived about 10 minutes later. As he started walking to the front of the car for an inspection, I said: "Please shoot the deer."
He continued and looked over the car and asked if we were OK.
"We're fine. Please shoot Bambi now," I said.
A few moments later I heard the merciful shot. I've never heard a gunshot before, but believe me, it was music to my ears.
"Thank you. Thank you," I said.
"So now what?" I thought, as steam rose from the hood which looked like a fur boa had been attached to it.
We needed a ride home.
Carl called my sister, Dawn, in Laketon Township, a hundred miles from the scene.
"She's in bed for sure," I said. "But she is all we have."
It wasn't until the next day that I thought of her son-in-law Darin, who is 30 years younger and would have been awake and eager to help anyone in need.
I gathered all the maps, tax papers, and other stuff in the car and wrapped it all in two knap sacks that I made out of blankets. My husband was impressed. He didn't know I was that clever.
The wrecker took us part way and she met us at a grocery store. I spent my time waiting by doing the week's food shopping. She knew our pain. She got a deer a year ago. I had gotten my own huge buck about a decade ago.
At 3:30 a.m., the saint was back in her bed thinking about the 8 a.m. appointment she had.
It all makes me wonder why men sit in the cold woods for days looking for deer that never appear. Heck, just drive around if you want a deer.
Within two days we got the word. The car was totaled. Gone. History.
It was Carl's wish come true. I accused him of wishing for a new car so badly that he summoned Bambi and sacrificed her for his own gain.
By the third day, he'd bought a new-to-us luxury sedan.
We refuse to ride in a car that is smaller than a deer.

There's something wrong with this picture:
Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney forecasts a $74.6 million surplus by the end of the year, and talks about a property tax cut for county residents next year.
Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner proposes a city budget with no tax increases and no layoffs.
The Syracuse City School District, which started out facing a $50 million budget deficit, now plans to cut more than 6 percent of its spending and eliminate the jobs of at least 500 teachers, teachers aides, administrators and other staffers — more than 14 percent of its work force.
Something is way out of whack when city and county governments can hold the line, even look forward to cutting taxes, while already hard-pressed city schools — and some suburban and rural districts as well — lay off teachers, increase class sizes and try to make do with less.
To be sure, there are strings attached to all these numbers. The county "windfall" comes from a change in the sales tax formula, combined with an improved local economy boosting sales tax revenues. That formula change, by the way, sent big new tax bills to town and village residents, some of whom would like to see any surplus used to relieve their burden.
In Syracuse, the budget-balancing act depends on using cash reserves. There could also be layoffs if the city can't wring concessions from employee unions in upcoming negotiations.
City schools, meanwhile, are on the receiving end of a triple-whammy this year. First, the district faces its perennial budget woes, driven by the relentless rise in fixed costs for pensions, wages and benefits, as well as a shortage of local revenue in a city where more than half the property is tax-exempt. Then there's a cut in state aid as Albany struggles to fill a $10 billion spending gap. Finally, any across-the-board percentage cut in state aid, which modestly hits districts that can raise most of their dollars from local property taxes, really hurts Syracuse, which relies on Albany for two-thirds of its school budget.
Both Syracuse and Onondaga County face an uncertain fiscal future. The city's reserves are gone. Mahoney warns that rising "mandated costs" for pensions, health care and other purposes will strain the county budget.
But in the short term, city and county governments appear poised to enjoy relative stability, while the schools struggle to maintain educational standards as hundreds of teachers and other staffers are losing their jobs.

For the first time in nearly two decades, Phillipsburg Sewer Utility users are facing an increase in the rates they pay.
During Tuesday night's Town Council meeting, Mayor Harry Wyant Jr. discussed the plan to raise sewer rates by 2 percent to provide needed capital for utility upkeep and improvements.
Wyant said the increase, the first since 1996, would have a very minimal impact on users' sewer bills while restoring utility capital that has been depleted over the years.
Wyant estimates the 2 percent increase would translate to a quarterly increase of between $1 and $1.50 for the average residential user in Phillipsburg.
The four surrounding municipalities that receive sewer service from the Phillipsburg utility would be charged a 2 percent increase, Wyant said. They include the townships of Greenwich, Lopatcong and Pohatcong and Alpha Borough.
Wyant said it will be up these four municipalities if the increase will be passed along to their sewer users or absorbed partially or fully by each municipality.
The proposed rate increase will be discussed in more detail during the Dec. 11 Town Council meeting. During that meeting, a discussion is planned to be held with the neighboring municipalities receiving sewer service from Phillipsburg.
Wyant said it is important to restore a funding "cushion" to account for both foreseen and unforeseen sewer utility expenses, such as an approximate $1 million loss in equipment as a result of Hurricane Sandy. While Wyant is hopeful most of this loss will be covered by insurance, he noted the importance of "building back the capital cushion that has been depleted as time goes on."
Council President Randy Piazza Sr. said he agrees with the 2 percent rate adjustment.
Like the mayor, he noted the importance of having capital on hand for the 60-year-old utility.
"Unforeseen things happen and we have to be ready for them," Piazza said.

HIGHLAND HTS. The BP gas station, 6267 Wilson Mills Road, just west of The Shoppes at Alpha Place, has closed.
Council President Cathy Murphy said that city leaders have been contacted by representatives of the convenience store chain 7-Eleven about possibly opening a store at the location.
"We're still waiting to learn more," Murphy said. "We haven't received any building plans from them at this time."

Lately I've been sniffing around the internet looking for possible houses/apartments to rent long-term or buy. Firstly, I don't use the Euro, so I'm not sure if 65.000 EU to buy an apartment is cheap or not (I've converted it, it's roughly $91,000 USD, but I'm still unsure as to the "fairness" of this price).
I guess what I'm asking is this:
Where are good places to buy real estate?
What are good prices to pay for housing/apartments?
Are landlords willing to haggle on prices?
What are good websites/organizations to look at?
Thank you to anyone who responds!
(sorry if this is a repeated topic!)

Sometimes you don't realize how big a band is really getting until you see them live. Five Finger Death Punch released their debut Way of the Fist in 2007, but their impact is now being felt in a huge way. After witnessing the group's live assault at this year's Mayhem Festival, it was finally time for Five Finger Death Punch to embark on a headlining tour, where they could play longer sets and stand completely on their own.Kicking off the night was Bury You Dead, fresh on a few high-profile tours. The group recently survived a recent van wreck in the Great White North, so it was surprising to see the band back in the land of poutine and maple syrup, but they brought their brand of hardcore-infused metal north of the border to put on a frenzied performance. While their sound screams mediocre and generic, Bury Your Dead knows how to get a crowd worked up and put on an impressive performance. The groups set was comprised of a large number of tracks from their recently released self-titled new album, but also included tracks from the Cover Your Tracks and Beauty and the Breakdown albums. The highlight of the groups set was new frontman Myke Terry (ex-Cassius) who created some of the best crowd interaction of the night In This Moment followed unfortunately failed to keep the momentum going. The group took the stage and immediately ran through a couple of the heavier tracks ("Ashes" and "Prayers") and from their impressive debut Beautiful Tragedy. Although the band was obviously plagued by technical problems, they still created solid energy throughout the room. It wasn't until the group started to perform tracks from their recently released sophomore effort, The Dream where the train started to derail. The new material when performed next to tracks from the group's debut sounded stale and was a big disappointment. After hearing multiple tracks of new material that seemed to bleed into one long song, the band played the new single Forever and closed a disappointing set.The anticipation for Five Finger Death Punchs set grew to ballistic levels almost immediately, with fans chanting the bands name louder than the music blaring out of the PA. Frontman Ivan Moody greeted fans enthusiasm with a maniacal performance that proved showed why he has become one of the best frontman currently in the business. Throughout the bands hour long set, Moody had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand commanding the pit to unleash the gates of hell on tracks like Way of the Fist and White Knuckles, while prancing around like a puppet on a string during Salvation.Former WASP guitarist Darrell Roberts barreled out some vicious licks alongside fellow guitarist Zoltan Bathory, while bass player Matt Snell laid down some heavy grooves. The end result was one of the best of the best live shows that has hit the Toronto area in years. www.myspace.com/fivefingerdeathpunch

Unable to walk without a walker due to osteoarthritis.
Love it. I was unable to get up out of our regular recliner anymore without assistance. When my husband helped hoist me to my feet, he pulled on my arm, and my shoulder joint was beginning to object. Now I can get up without assistance or permission! Also love being able to adjust my angle of sitting to the most comfortable position. Our recliner had two positions...feet up, feet down!
Only hard part was saving up the money to buy it!

A well made chair built for comfort, style, and functionality was all true for this chair.
|Service & Delivery
Since it was a special order chair, it took a little over 3 weeks to get. Did not pay the extra to have the chair brought into the house or put together. We were able to put the chair together with ease after a little struggle getting it into the house.
I shopped around all the Medical supplies store in my area before I purchase this chair for my husband who has Parkinson's. Got a better ideal on what to order after seeing all the different chairs and having my husband try them out. I also got a better ideal on what the colors really looked like. I feel I got the best price from US Medical Supplies on line. We got the heat and massage with the chair and found the hand control simple and easy to use. Up graded the color and got the lumbar pillow. Glad we looked around before ordering.

HACKENSACK — It seems like the Internet should have killed travel agencies.
These days, anyone can find the fare they want and the hotel they want on their own, all without budging from their desk.
But Florida Vacations, based in Hackensack, is thriving, increasing sales seven times over by bringing on dozens of new agents. And Vacation.com, a consortium of more than 5,000 travel agencies, recently recognized Florida Vacations as one of six member agencies with the fastest year-over-year sales growth.
Robert F. Schoonhen, who founded Florida Vacations 15 years ago, said some travelers still prefer the personal touch of a travel agent.
"If you're spending $10,000 on a honeymoon, isn't it nicer to call someone up versus just booking it on your own?" he said.
Schoonhen started the business just as the Internet was starting to disrupt the industry. But the Paramus resident used it to his advantage, allowing him to draw clients from across and even outside the country. The agency, located in a nondescript office on State Street, has no walk-in traffic to speak of.
While the Schoonhen started the business strictly booking trips to Florida, it has expanded to destinations worlwide.
In time, Betty Krystyniak and Brigitte Kiledjian, who oversee the roughly 50 outside agents who work with Florida Travels, joined the business.
The three have kept up with social media to make it easier for potential customers to find them.
"You have to keep everybody informed," Kiledjian said. "If you just lay back and do nothing, they're not going to come to you."
But the most important way they've retained customers, Schoonhen said, is by being available to clients. Schoonhen fields calls from customers at all hours of the day.
"Certain people want to be able to call someone," he said. "People feel important when they can say 'I can call someone.'"
The company is poised to take advantage of an expected increase in summer travel this year. A study by American Express found that 69 percent of Americans plan to travel over the summer, a 17 percent increase over last year.
"I think the country as a whole is coming to a realization that they need pleasure in their life besides work," Krystyniak said.

CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio -- Chagrin Falls visitors will see more signs on North Main Street after council created a theater district Monday and is discussing a possible arts district.
Though it doesn't create any zoning changes, a theater district allows Chagrin Valley Little Theatre and River Street Playhouse to put up more signs in the downtown area. Both theater buildings are tucked away on River and West streets, which council said visitors have trouble finding.
"They are primarily going to be directional signs," said Chagrin Falls Councilwoman Janis Evans. "There is not visibility for the theater."
CVLT Board of Directors President Tom Neff said the theater district is part of a marketing effort, and he is glad the council took action. Area business owners also expressed support for the idea, saying the theaters can be difficult for visitors to find.
"Tons of people come to the store asking where the theater is," said Edward DeTomaso, owner of Dave's Cosmic Subs in Chagrin Falls. "[The theater] is a great asset. It is tucked away though."
DeTomaso and Cori Imbrigiotta, co-owner of Haven Style House, both said River and West streets have a lot of businesses that are a little harder to spot.
"There is a lot of great stuff back here," Imbrigiotta said.
While plans for the theater district are in motion, community members have also started to talk about a possible arts district seeing as the village has three galleries in the downtown area. Evans said the Chagrin Falls Arts Commission will be talking about an arts district in the future.
"We do have a problem with signage in town," she said. "It is something we are certainly looking at for the future."
Mary Ann Breisch, executive director for Valley Art Center, said she attended the arts commission meeting April 7, where community members discussed the idea for a theater district.
"There was enthusiasm but also a concern for equitability as far as highlighting all of the arts," she said.
Valley Art Center sits at 155 Bell St., about a quarter of a mile from North Main Street.

Indoor plants need to be transplanted into a larger container periodically, or they become pot/root-bound and their growth is retarded. Water the plant well before starting, so the soil will hold the root ball together when you remove it from the pot. If you have trouble getting the plant out of the pot, try running a blade around the edge of the pot, and gently whacking the sides to loosen the soil.
Always use fresh soil when transplanting your indoor plant. Fill around the plant gently with soil, being careful not to pack too tightly -- you want air to be able to get to the roots. After the plant is in the new pot, don't fertilize right away... this will encourage the roots to fill in their new home.
The size pot you choose is important too. Select one that is not more than about 1 inch greater in diameter. Remember, many plants prefer being somewhat pot bound. Always start with a clean pot!
Prevention and Control: Isolate infested plants from those that are not. Consult your local garden center professional or the Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal insecticide/chemical recommendation. Encourage natural enemies such as lady beetles in the garden to help reduce population levels of mealy bugs. Fungi : Leaf Spots Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.
Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.
Pest : Scale Insects Scales are insects, related to mealy bugs, that can be a problem on a wide variety of plants - indoor and outdoor. Young scales crawl until they find a good feeding site. The adult females then lose their legs and remain on a spot protected by its hard shell layer. They appear as bumps, often on the lower sides of leaves. They have piercing mouth parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Scales can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Prevention and Control: Once established they are hard to control. Isolate infested plants away from those that are not infested. Consult your local garden center professional or Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal recommendation regarding their control. Encourage natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden. Diseases : Blight Blights are cause by fungi or bacteria that kill plant tissue. Symptoms often show up as the
rapid spotting or wilting of foliage. There are many different blights, specific
to various plants, each requiring a varied method of control.
