Grocery Stores & Supermarkets in Dry Branch, GA
Helpful Definition for: Grocery Stores & Supermarkets
Dry Branch has grocery stores and/or supermarkets. A grocery store essentially sell food items. The kind of items available can be quite broad in its spectrum and can incorporate the tastes and preferences of a multicultural population (including "exotic" food products favored by people of a particular ethnicity). A supermarket is an expanded form of a grocery store, being self-service in nature and having a selection of both food and non-food/household items available for sale. Items that are usually sold here include meat, fresh produce, dairy, baked goods, alcohol, pet supplies, medicines, household cleaners and clothes (the items available in the non-food section can vary a fair bit). The store in Dry Branch is located close to residential areas for ease of the customers. The items for sale are put up in displays for convenience of selection (as well as an advertising tactic), and the shopping hours are often long, in some cases, being open 24 hours in a day. The prices are often kept low, prioritizing higher sales vis-a-vis profit margins. Some other facilities may also be available along with the store, such as banks, cafés, childcare options during shopping, photo processing, video rentals and gas stations. There are a number of supermarket chains throughout the country. They usually operate on the franchise model.

When Susan Cahill graduates from Queen's in 2011, she won't just leave with a PhD in Art History, she'll also leave with a strong, vibrant network to help her launch her career.
Cahill began her education in her native Newfoundland, studying English and theatre at Memorial University. She didn't discover art history until a few years later, while she was working in Montreal. She decided to fuel her newfound passion by taking a few courses at Concordia University. She then applied to- and was accepted in - four graduate programs. "I had several choices," she says, "but I chose Queen's because I'd heard such good things about it." One of her Concordia professors had gone to Queen's and so had a close friend. Both had nothing but good things to say.
After completing her M.A. and most of her doctoral work, Cahill agrees with them wholeheartedly. "In my experience, it's an extremely supportive environment," she says, adding that she felt that support right from the start. "And I don't just mean when I arrived here," she says. "I mean even before that - during the application process. The first professor I spoke with was incredibly supportive. She made helpful suggestions and put me in touch with other students. It was a very warm, welcoming environment to walk into."
That warmth has remained throughout Cahill's time here. "For me, the strongest thing Queen's has to offer is a community of grad students and faculty," she says. "It's not a competitive environment at all. It's not about succeeding above others - it's about everyone succeeding together."
It's a philosophy that Cahill thoroughly embraces. "This is a great place to build personal and professional relationships," she says, adding that relationship building is especially important for people like her, who aspire to a career in academia. "The students I'm meeting now will be my professional colleagues later," she explains. "I'm building a network for the future so that when conferences and books and projects come up, I'll have a whole list of collaborators. It expands the scope of what I'll be able to do."
With that in mind, Cahill and colleague Sarah E.K. Smith embarked on an experiment in 2007. "We were curious about the process of getting published," she recalls. "Publishing is a great way to get established, but we didn't know much about how to do it." Cahill and Smith found out the hard way, by launching their own publication, Shift, the Queen's Journal of Visual and Material Culture (www.shiftjournal.org), an interdisciplinary journal just for graduate students. Their first issue launched online in the fall of 2008.
Conceived in part as another avenue for grad students to get published, Shift has succeeded beyond Cahill's wildest dreams, attracting submissions from across the campus and around the world and exponentially increasing the size of her network and the possibilities for future collaborations.
As Cahill heads into the final years of her doctoral work, she's preparing to hand Shift off to a new editor. "When we took on the project, we said we'd do it for three years," she says. She's already put the call out for a new Co-editor and is planning to step aside after the next issue. "The plan is for it to continue once we leave," she says. "Queen's has given me so much and this is something I can give back."

Should More Students Take the Bus To School?
One resident who lives across from Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School had some signs up this fall that prompted a discussion about students taking the bus to school.
There's often traffic backups around the schools - and especially along Route 1A near Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School and Miles River Middle School - at opening and closing times.
Some of the traffic is from students. All 136 students spaces at the high school have been sold, according to Donna Bunk, administrative assistant to Superintendent Michael Harvey. And about 650 students ride the bus each day, according to Bunk, based on data provided by Salter Transportation, which operates the school district's buses.
That is about 57 percent of the 1,135 students that go to school on the combined campus - 430 at the middle school and 705 at the high school.
The traffic backups prompted one school neighbor to put up signs this fall that have stirred discussion. The signs read: "Tired of Sitting in Traffic? Put Your Kids on the Bus."
What do you think? Should more students take the bus to school? Are there other ways to eliminate traffic congestion near the schools? Tell us below in the comments section.

When you have over 1,000 kids (plus staff to support learning) going to one place during the morning rush-hour on 1-A in the morning, you're bound to have traffic. The only way to cut down the congestion is to have the two schools start at different times or perhaps have school start later around 8:30 after the morning rush hour.
Beth Webber
8:50 am on Sunday, November 11, 2012
There are many ways to cut down on congestion, including students taking the bus and not being driven to school! The "rush hour" is a direct result of this and could be eliminated with increased bus ridership and even carpooling. That said, the traffic on 1A isn't that bad and the police detail at the school is extremely helpful in moving cars along. I do wonder if the bus is free for students or not... anyone?
Laetitia Allen Rodde

The bus is free to everyone, for now. Case in point: California, where there are no more busses! Take advantage of this service while you can, and be green, too.
Beth Webber

In the interest of full disclosure, my three kids carpool, take the bus AND are driven to school. I'm certainly guilty of taking up my share of road space!

i like the idea of the two schools starting at different hours. also, i do find that school busses are more of a traffic nuisance than cars as they make frequent stops that hold up traffic and seldom pull over to let the accumulated traffic pass. it would help congestion if they were instructed to do so.
Charlotte Lidrbauch
11:11 am on Sunday, November 11, 2012
There are also over 100 Choice kids that attend the high school, and they have to be driven from their respective towns.

Having the schools start at different times will only create traffic twice rather than once in the morning. As for the "traffic", it is hardly bad. So it takes you an extra 5 to 10 minutes to get where you're going, big deal. If this is one of our towns big problems, then we are the luckiest people in the world.
Jennifer Flynn
2:35 pm on Sunday, November 11, 2012
I am for the buses. My original reasoning was for environmental reasons but the congestion in the morning and afternoon with all the drivers it certainly another reason. I think all of the traffic is a deterrent for walkers and bikers...it is crazy busy and seems dangerous with some many cars/buses. Kids should take the bus that is what is it is there for and it is what our taxes pay for.
Arguments for driving I have heard:
1. It comes too early in the morning. (personally I think school starts too early for middle and high schoolers so I get it but it is what it is...go to be earlier and get up and get the bus)
2. My kids has to sit on the bus for 30 minutes cause they are the first stop. (wow. cool they get to chill out/relax/talk with friends/day dream for 30 minutes in our completely over scheduled world. Sounds like a gift to me)
3. it is my check in time with my child (I get this one. some of my best conversations are with my kids one-on-one in the car...but maybe they could take the bus a few days and a ride with mom or dad would be a special once a week thing)
hmmmmmm I wonder if gas were $10 a gallon it would eliminate this wasteful driving....but that is for another debate:)
Carol A Mazzetta

Jennifer thinks school starts too early, with all the days off the kids have now how on earth can they compete in this world? Our kids can't hold a candle to the Europian kids and Japan & China are so far ahead we'll never catch up. Having a conversation with a teenager is "like" you know impossible unless they use the word "like" a dozen times! We've dumbed down our schools to the point where a D is now a passing mark.

as to deidre"s comment,yes the busses should pull over they use to have to 30 yrs ago when i was in school and the police use to enforce it if they followed some of the busses and pulled them over they would get it.As far as another pickup time for middle schoolers the towns should have thought about that before they built the middle school.the cost would be a burden considering considering they would need to get more drivers and busses elementary school kids need the busses at 8 am.Besides it would just drag out the traffic problems all day ,and from what i read in the chronicle the schools need more money from school choice kids enrollment,So i don't see a quick fix on this problem anytime soon

Personally, I see a lot of kids getting coddled on this one; there are kids who live less than a mile from school who could walk or bike and do not. There are also a lot of kids who are eligible to take the bus and don't. Getting to school on time is an easy and incredibly safe way (particularly in Hamilton/Wenham) for kids to learn to take some responsibility for themselves, their schedule, and their role in getting an education (i.e. their "job" at the moment).
As for the bus stopping more, I question whether this would be an issue as the bus has to drive the route anyway and makes most of the stops as it is, so I question whether it would really be stopping more in any significant way.
There has also been very lively discussions about our bussing in regards to budget; apparently, because we are a regional school system we are required to provide transportation at a cost of something like $600,000 (don't quote me here). If we can't consider cost savings in regards to transportation because of this stipulation, it would be a far less waste of our money if people would use it.
MaryBeth Dyer
6:37 pm on Sunday, November 11, 2012
Yes, we are required to have bussing because we are a regionsl district. As for busses moving over as a rule, this would make me very nervous as my kids actually have to cross Essex St every morning to get on the bus and would thus be run over by passing cars. Two start times? More busses, more logistics, more money...
chris a
7:31 pm on Sunday, November 11, 2012
i meant pulling over to let the cars sitting behind them pass instead of trying to pass when they stop for a child. the same way they did yrs ago.and if the bus stop is on the other side of the street they should be there ahead of time
7:44 pm on Sunday, November 11, 2012
The traffic at the school is nothing compared to a morning at rush hour down 1A in North Beverly. even on the worst morning traffic at the regional might slow you down 2 mins. If I choose to drive my child so be it!

What about that kid who does not ride the bus because of the bullying that takes place on the Bus? What Hamilton/ Wenham? That could not be possible..... There are lots of bullies that ride the bus and there are many kids that are tired of being bullied with little being done. I say, get over it the traffic, make signs about something a little more crucial like the kids starving in NJ....
Michelle Bailey
8:13 am on Monday, November 12, 2012
Ask the principals, they'll tell you most bullying happens not in the class, but unstructured time, bus, lunch, recess, and hallways. Really, is it important how you get to school?
Rob Karpp

I loved it when I first saw these signs as I had been thinking the same thing for years. Think of the money the school system could save by eliminating some buses that no one is using anyway. Although I am sure that it is probably mandated somehow and not possible.
But lets be honest here, the REAL issue here people is that we need to stop coddling our children. I know it's horrifying to think of our kids having to walk all the way to the bus stop get in that big scary bus and take the long ride to school.
Ask yourself, how hard would your parents have laughed at you at the mere suggestion of a ride to school??
Full disclosure here too- My wife and I are also guilty of driving "our little Angels" to school because they didn't want to ride in the "Loser Cruiser".
Hopefully more of us will wake up and let our kids take that very dangerous journey to the bus stop and for a ride on the "loser cruiser" Who knows, they may actually like it! (And I might get to work on time)

???? LOSER CRUISER ???? Really??? Why do people (especially adults!) always have to "label" a student who rides a bus to school as a "loser"??? I have been driving a school bus in Hamilton and Wenham for 26 years, and I find this very offensive. Shame on you!
And why eliminate the buses? Think of the money parents could save on gas by letting their children ride on the bus!
Rob Karpp
9:06 am on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
Maybe I wasn't clear- My frustration is that kids are NOT riding the bus. I want more kids to ride the busses that we are paying for and the parents to stop driving them....
Michelle Bailey

On Tues. night Dr. Englander, the speaker on bullying at the HWRHS, told parents one way to stop bullying on the bus is to drive your kids to school.

We live at the dead end of Ellis Ave across from the Buker. The traffic is ridiculous!! We can't get in or out during the morning or afternoon drop-off/pick-up for all the cars and SUVs. Students need to take the bus or walk (we did). And parents, put down the phone and pay attention while you are in the school zone!!!
David West

Why can't all the kids in a neighborhood walk to one meeting point to be picked up? It really bothers me that the buses have to stop at every house and pick up kids. Not sure if this is the case in Hamilton but I get stuck behind school buses frequently for miles and when I drive by I often see a parent sitting in a car at the end of the driveway with the car idling while the kids stay nice and toasty. How is this helping our kids be strong? I get stuck in the school traffic often and it's frustrating so I also wish there was a better solution.

I think I'm the only student to comment on this so far, so here goes. I park in one of those 136 spots everyday, and frankly while traffic isn't pleasent, I have learned to live with it. I've carpooled with neighbors and siblings to to school for the past four years, and this year I drive home neighbors whenever they need a lift. Aside from choice kids, I live about as far away from the school a possible for a HW student (I live near 128/Gordon, approx a 12 minute commute. I leave at 7:12 every morning and with traffic am still able to make it to school with 5-10 minutes to spare. In tema of a student driving to school, it's really not that bad.
Someone earlier commented that kids in a neighborhood should walk to a mutual meeting point to get picked up. While that may work for a small neighborhood/single street, for larger neighborhoods such as Asbury Grove and Parsons Hill, that really wouldn't work.
The whole "put your kids on the bus" campaign that is apparently going on makes sense but is unneeded. Aside from parents who are late to work because of dropping off your kids (you should be putting your children on the bus anyway), just be patient and sit in "traffic" for an extra five minutes out of your day. We are two small towns, and HWRHS happens to be on 1A. It's practically unavoidable to not sit in traffic for an extra five mins every morning due to the schools position, I know from experience. Leave home a couple minutes earlier if need be.

Max is absolutely right!If you are driving the same route to work every day, you know that there will be "back-up" at certain points.In the morning, when I leave my house to pick up my school bus, I know that if I leave 2 minutes late, I will get behind one of "those" school buses, therefore making me late.It is within our control! As for buses pulling over each time there is a line of traffic behind us? Sure, we could do that, however, that adds time to the childrens' ride time.We try to only keep students on the bus for half an hour, maximum. Pulling over would add time to the route.
I have been driving a bus in HW for 14 years. It is a GREAT job with GREAT students! I, for one, have NEVER had a problem with bullying and communicate with all parents/students to make sure that there are no problems. I may be out-of-line here by saying this but, if you see a problem with bullying on the bus, maybe you should talk to your driver. This is our job! If a driver is not paying attention, they should not be driving your children.
On another note, my son attends St. John's Prep. I DO love picking him up every day, having that one-on-one time, however, I would LOVE to save on gas and time and save that one-on-one time for when he got off if there was a bus available to drop him off.

sorry...I ran out of space...........What I see? I see so many parents who are TOLD by their children that they refuse to take the bus because it is a "Loser Cruiser" (Holly...it is the children that that label this...not the parents). I say....TAKE THAT OPTION AWAY FROM YOUR CHILDREN! They take the bus, PERIOD! My 2 boys always took the bus. There wasn't another option given to them. I took the bus throughout my school years...there wasn't another option given!
As for the congestion? Go and sit by each school for 10 minutes before school starts and 10 minutes after. VOILA...the congestion is gone. It is a necessary evil, but to Max' point...learn to accept it and move on. If you want to drive your child to school? You are welcome to...just be patient and understanding. It is simple.
We live in a wonderful community with wonderful students (believe me...I have driven for some other schools on trips). We should all be very proud! Let's support one another in whatever decision is made.

A group of scientists have revealed results directly relating areas of the brain responsible for emotional responses, to patients that develop chronic back pain over time.
Relying on fMRI scans to determine the full extent of the connection, the scientists suggest that the detection of early brain changes may hold the key to identifying patients that are at a high risk of chronic back pain.
Once these changes have been categorised, drugs can be developed to manage the symptoms and possibly even cure back pain.
The Results
Shown for the first time in Nature Neuroscience, Professor Vania Apakarian has proved that the more communication there is between specific parts of the brain, the greater the chance of mild back pain becoming chronic.
When individuals have emotional responses to events, the insula region of the brain becomes active. Furthermore, the nucleus accumbens is responsible for teaching the brain to adapt to different surroundings, and also becomes active when stimulated by new environments.
The scientists' research suggests that a person's ability to recover is as much to do with the state of the brain, as well as the extent of the injury itself. In other words, the on-going pain from an injury is a result of the activity between different parts of the brain.
Previous Limitations
Previous research on chronic back pain has been hindered by limitations in study design. For example, comparisons have been made between healthy brains and brains dealing with back pain, however scientists have not been able to identify the reasons why the pain becomes chronic.
People with spinal injury claims continue to suffer chronic back pain years after an accident.
Other limitations the researchers discovered included not being able to analyse the different causes of back pain – changes in medication or home furniture for example. Previously, scientists were only able to take snap shots of pain-related brain activity at one point in time.
With these types of studies, research is limited to discovering links, leaving scientists to only suggest ways in which the pain is driven by the brain. However with this latest discovery, scientists expanded their research to longitudinal methods, taking multiple measures over a period of time.
The Study
The study consisted of 39 people with sub-acute to moderate back pain. For the study to be valid, it was necessary that each patient had no history of back pain, and their current paid started 1-4 months previously.
Patients were subjected to an initial assessment, and then three more over the course of the year including fMRI scans. They were also asked to rate the levels of their pain over the course of the assessments.
The research revealed that there was a much greater level of communication between the insula and nucleus accumbens parts of the brain in patients whose back pain became chronic. Furthermore, analysing their data, it was agreed that the early scans had an 85 per cent of predicting which participants would continue to have chronic back pain.
Hailed as a breakthrough in the treatment of back pain, future generations will benefit from this in-depth research. As more drugs are developed, and different ways of recovery are introduced into medicine, thousands of people will profit and be able to take advantage from this detailed discovery.

Update on state RTTT plans -- Updated again!
Jan. 25, 2010 11:33 a.m.
New news: Out of 41 states and DC that applied, only TWO as of Jan. 27 have not posted live links to their applications. New York finally made their application public today.
We have been trying to compile the states that have posted their plans, but education blogger extraordinaire Alexander Russo of This Week in Education has more nimble fingers, and has posted 24 states so far (and the District of Columbia). He also credits the folks who fed him the links.
We are including all 41 applicants with live links for the ones who have posted their packages. Let us know if others go live! We're up to 39 with posted applications. South Dakota is keeping their applications a secret to protect their ability to compete, so what's posted is the partial app available on the USDOE website. On Feb. 1, Hawaii told edmoney.org contributor Nirvi Shah it will be releasing it's complete 900+ page application "shortly" and a summary will be posted online "soon." (A link to what's available is now down below.) New Hampshire has put much of their app online too, but additional portions must be requested from their department of ed.

dude, have you looked at any online hydro store or ebay?
So what type of lights should i use to grow my weed. I know to use the MH or the HPS bulbs are best and id like to use either one. But when i go to the home depot im not sure what im looking for because i find the MH and HPS bulbs but dont know what watt i need or how much lumes output i need. Im only trying to grow like 4 or 5 plants in a small box that im trying to make a grow box. Also they told me that those lights are used for outdoor and they wouldnt work indoor, how do set it up to where i can use my MH or HPS bulb indoor?
dude, have you looked at any online hydro store or ebay?
hey man, you have the option of running 250, 400, 600 and 1000 watt. those are the most typical indoor grow sizes for HID. You will also need some sort of hood and ballast of the same size bulb. To be honest, with a question like that you should prob pick up a book or movie on growing before you decide to start spending money on anything. Knowledge is power and to be able to grow good plants you'll need a lot of power. You can find a lot of helpful videos on youtube or if you're a pirate find jorge servant grow dvd, that shit is pretty helpful. This forum is also very resourceful when you open you're eyes a bit. just make sure that the topic isn't already around like a million plus times before you pop questions like these. Good luck though! we all start somewhere!
and to answer you're question just a little more thoroughly, you can hit 4-5 plants with whatever size bulb you want, it will just affect your yield.
As stated you need more than a bulb. Kits are generally cheaper.
Have a great one. Advice is for folks with a legal grow and worth what you paid for it.
okay so lets say i buy the kit for it. is that all i would need to make the light work or would i have to plug it into a outlet or would i have to wire it into my house?
Yes you plug it in. An example for a kit is Virtual Sun. Hps and MH bulbs, hangers , cool tube, timer, switchable ballast and cords.
Have a great one. Advice is for folks with a legal grow and worth what you paid for it.
lol its just like a normal light really just with a ballast

The right wing media and blogosphere are furiously promoting a new "study" on voter fraud by Horace Cooper, a black conservative who claims that photo ID laws and other Republican initiatives to combat virtually non-existent voter fraud help protect poor and minority voters.
Though outlets like Fox News are calling it a "study," it's nothing of the sort. It's little more than an op-ed piece that lists allegations of voter fraud, most of which turn out to be pure air when they're examined. Here's a great example:
Then there is New Mexico, where the secretary of state recently identified over 64,000 instances – or nearly 10% of those who voted – of voter irregularities sent to the state police for investigation.
This claim demonstrates two things: Cooper's utter lack of honesty and how the right uses these huge numbers of potential illegal votes as evidence of actual illegal votes. We've seen these claims all over the country. When they say "voter irregularities" what they mean is any discrepancy between the state's Qualified Voter File and any other state database. So they find 64,000 "discrepancies" between those databases and then leap to the conclusion that there may have been 64,000 people voting illegally. OMG! That's terrible! Yeah, it would be. But it simply isn't true.
In fact, that same secretary of state that found those "discrepancies" released a report after examining all of them and guess what was found? More than 99.9% of them were simply clerical errors — a missing middle initial in one database compared to another, or a missing apartment number, or a new address that was updated in one database but not the other, and so forth. The end result? A grand total of 19 potential illegal votes — even those have not yet been substantiated. And none of them involved impersonating a voter at the polls, which is the only thing that photo ID laws could possibly prevent (they were all cases of someone illegally registered to vote, so they were on the voter rolls and if they showed their ID, they'd be allowed to vote even under the Republican restrictions).
And this is important: That report came out in November, 2011. Cooper's report is dated August, 2012. So he's still claiming 64,000 potential cases of voter fraud in New Mexico 10 months after the same person who made the initial claim of that number found that there were only 19 possible cases of actual voter fraud out of that 64,000. That tells you pretty much all you need to know about Cooper's rigorous analysis.
Here's another great example of the dishonesty of this "study":
Lest we think that this sort of thing only happens on the east coast, we should remember the illegal ballots cast by an estimated 5,000 non-citizens in Colorado's elections in 2010. Colorado's Secretary of State reported that a state study found nearly 12,000 people registered to vote in Colorado who were not citizens and were therefore not legally eligible to vote. Of those, the state believes that perhaps as many as 5,000 voted in the 2010 general election.
Almost all of this is false. As Justin Levett points out, what the Colorado study actually showed was that 11,805 people were registered to vote who had not been eligible to vote at the time they got their driver's license. But all but 11,699 of those people had registered to vote long after they got their driver's license, often many years later. You don't have to be a citizen to get a driver's license, of course, so it's not evidence of anything that someone who was not a citizen when they got their license would be a citizen, and therefore eligible to vote, when they later register to vote. In fact, during the same time frame that this state study covered, more than 32,000 Colorado residents became American citizens. It would hardly be a surprise if 1/3 of those who became citizens during that time period registered to vote after having earlier received a driver's license.
The more you examine these claims of voter fraud, the more obvious it becomes that it is virtually non-existent. And the Republicans resort to these kinds of obvious distortions to justify policies that could disenfranchise millions of poor and minority voters. But that's a feature, not a bug.
Talking Points Memo also points out that Cooper has a serious credibility problem himself. He was one of the staffers convicted of falsifying disclosure reports to cover up illegal gifts from Jack Abramoff, a charge to which he pleaded guilty.

The exponential growth in wellness programs indicates that Corporate America believes that medicalizing the workplace, through paying employees to participate in health risk assessments ("HRAs") and biometric screens, will reduce healthcare spending.
It won't. As shown in my book Why Nobody Believes the Numbers and subsequent analyses, the publicly reported outcomes data of these programs are made up—often to a laughable degree, starting with the fictional Safeway wellness success story that inspired the original Affordable Care Act wellness emphasis. None of this should be a surprise: in addition to HRAs and blood draws, wellness programs urge employees to go to the doctor, even though most preventive care costs more than it saves. So workplace medicalization saves no money – indeed, it probably increases direct costs with these extra doctor visits – but all this medicalization at least should make a company's workforce healthier.
Except when it doesn't — and harms employees instead, which happens altogether too often.
Yes, you read that right. While some health risk assessments just nag/remind employees to do the obvious — quit smoking, exercise more, avoid junk food and buckle their seat belts — many other HRAs and screens, from well-known vendors, provide blatantly incorrect advice that can potentially cause serious harm if followed.

Allan Davis had his biggest year in 2012 and he is continuing in January as he drove four winners on Saturday afternoon at Dover Downs, headed by 18-1 Southern Viking in the $12,500 mares featured pace.
Southern Viking challenged front-pacing Auf Wiedersehen (Jack Parker) after the three-quarters and then took over entering the homestretch. The 5-year-old Matt's Scooter-Perfect Viking daughter trained by Anastas Papadopoulos for Brandon, Wanda and Cliff Murray took a lifetime mark of 1:55.4. Powerful Honey (Roger Plante) closed strongly to finish second in front of Squeezeme Pleaseme (Eddie Davis Jr.).
Earlier, Davis and trainer Wayne Givens collaborated on a trio of other winners; Niel Gargiulo and Reg Hazzard's Peach Pistol a 1:51.4 win in a $9,000 pace; All Pro Hall in 1:53 taking a $10,000 claiming pace for Mark Givens and Legacy Racing Of DE and fast finishing Totally De Vie, winner of a $7,500 claiming pace in 1:54.3 for Billie Givens and the first of two wins for Legacy Racing Of DE.
Daryl Bier led off the first of three wins guiding George and Janette Hobbs' Road Rash home in 1:57.2 to win a $6,500 conditioned trot. Shopping With Art, a recent addition to the Bier barn, won for the fourth consecutive start, notching a 1:52 triumph in a $10,500 pace. Bier's third win came piloting It Hurts Me to a 1:55 success for Annette Leech and trainer Tony Domino in a $10,000 mares claimer.
Also visiting the winner's circle three times was Tony Morgan. His winners were Todd Wise's JJscollegefund, winning her maiden in 1:58.3 in a $5,000 pace; Crissman Stable's Ivegivenwhatigot made it two straight winning a $7,500 claimer in 1:54.3 and then Foulk Stables' This Is It, winner of a trot in a new mark of 1:58.4.

Wireless Technology Terms, Glossary and Dictionary
SFN: Single Frequency Network
A single-frequency network (SFN) is a broadcast network where several transmitters simultaneosly send the same signal over the same frequency channel. Analogue FM and AM radio broadcast networks as well as digital broadcast networks can operate in this manner. The aim of SFNs is efficient utilization of the radio spectrum, allowing a higher number of radio and TV programs in comparison to traditional multi-frequency network (MFN) transmission. An SFN may also increase the coverage area and decrease the outage probability in comparison to an MFN since the total received signal strength may increase to positions midway between the transmitters.

About Wheelchair Tennis
Wheelchair tennis celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2011 as an organised sport. Since its inception in the United States in 1976, it has become one of the fastest growing wheelchair sports in the world.
It has been a Paralympic sport since 1992, the same year in which an international wheelchair tennis tour was conceived that now boasts over 170 tournaments across 46 countries.
The only rule change from the able-bodied game is that the ball is allowed to bounce twice, as long as the first bounce is within the confines of the court. To take a look at the full ITF rules click here.
The Tennis Foundation runs the Wheelchair Tennis Performance programme for British players with support from UK Sport.
Any individual who is medically diagnosed as having a permanent mobility-related disability resulting in a substantial or total loss of function in one or more lower extremities is eligible to play wheelchair tennis.
There is an additional quad division where those with a permanent disability in three or more limbs can play and this is a mixed category for male and female.
Full eligibility rules can be found on the ITF Wheelchair tennis website. To take at look at these click here
Get Involved
One of the best sources of information if you want to play tennis is the Tennis Foundation, Great Britain's leading tennis charity. Its vision is to ensure the sport is inclusive and accessible to every kind of community, and it provides information on the sport for both disabled and non-disabled players.
The Tennis Foundation delivers a full programme of activities for people with disabilities, including taster sessions, one-day clinics and camps for people of all ages and abilities. In addition, they run a full range of tournaments, which provide competitive playing opportunities at local, national and international level.
There are an increasing number of places available throughout the country which offer regular wheelchair tennis programmes and sessions with Lawn Tennis Association (LTA)-licensed tennis coaches. Some also have purpose-built tennis wheelchairs, provided by the Tennis Foundation to get you started.

The Secret to Happiness: Sisters!
What's the secret to happiness? According to a study by the University of Ulster, the answer is: having sisters!
Lead researcher Professor Tony Cassidy said: "Sisters appear to encourage more open communication and cohesion in families.
"However, brothers seemed to have the alternative effect. Emotional expression is fundamental to good psychological health and having sisters promotes this in families."
He said many of the participants had been brought up in families where parents had split and the impact of sisters was even more marked in these circumstances.
"I think these findings could be used by people offering support to families and children during distressing times. We may have to think carefully about the way we deal with families with lots of boys."

LTE: Board Needs Code of Ethics
Former LWV voter services chair calls on supervisors to adopt past guidelines for behavior.
Dear Editor,
In 2007, Loudoun County's reputation was in tatters. The Washington Post published a series of articles that called into question the ethics of the Republican Board of Supervisors. There were allegations of corruption and first-hand reports of an FBI investigation. This was not a pleasant time to call Loudoun County home.
At the time, as Voters Services Chair of the Loudoun League of Women Voters, I began to work on a committee that included Supervisor Jim Burton and his wife Lina Burton and Senator Mark Herring. We drafted a Code of Ethics that the Board of Supervisors could adopt to increase the public trust. I don't need to agree with every decision my elected officials make, but as a taxpayer and voter I expect the highest standards of ethics.
It was a great day for Loudoun County in 2008 when eight members of the newly-elected Board of Supervisors voted to adopt the ethics pledge. It was a statement that the County would hold itself to the highest standards. The Code of Ethics passed with bi-partisan support. Supervisor Lori Waters, a Republican, championed it. Chairman Scott York strongly supported it. Every Democrat supported the ethics pledge. Eugene Delgaudio, a Republican, was the only member to not vote in favor of a Code of Ethics.
Fast forward to 2012 and we have a new Board of Supervisors and a new set of unpleasant allegations suggesting Supervisor Delgaudio has misused County resources for his political benefit. But prior to Delgaudio's alleged unethical behavior becoming public this new Board of Supervisors decided to take Loudoun County backwards, by moving to set aside the Code of Ethics. In January of this year, Chairman Scott York called the ethics pledge "all about show." Supervisor Delgaudio said that "actions speak louder than words."
As someone who has voted for Republicans and Democrats, including Chairman York, I agree that actions speak louder than words. And sometimes inaction tells another story. This Board's deliberate refusal to pass an ethics pledge has set the stage, again, for a Loudoun County government that does not adhere to the strongest, self-imposed set of ethics.
It's my hope that Chairman York and his colleagues will use this crisis to act and state unequivocally that it supports transparent and ethical government. The Board can start by adopting the Code of Ethics many of us worked so hard on a bi-partisan basis to implement.

One of the practical benefits of our Code of Ethics was that it reminded us,
always, to ask ourselves, "Have we kept our promise of integrity to the
I agree with Denise about NOT having to agree with a politician 100 percent
of the time. I certainly didn't agree with Lori Waters or Susan Buckley all
of the time, but I never had reason to question their respect for our Code
of Ethics. It's a shame that no one can say that for the members of this
Mary M. Bathory Vidaver
10:13 am on Saturday, October 6, 2012
As the person who drafted the LWV recommendations, I can safely state that the Code of Ethics passed by the 2008 Board was not a part of its work but a version of the code adopted by the 2004 Board a year or two into their term.
The LWV committee report (some dozen or so pages) formed the foundation of Jim Burton's Transparency in Government initiative. The Board adopted four of the six recommendations. However, under heavy pressure from the Economic Development Commission, NAIOP, NVBIA, and the County Administrator that the disclsoure requirement would have a chilling effect on recruitment of volunteers and employees (though it did not appear to do so in Arlington and other Virginia counties which had enacted such requirements), the 2008 Board chose not to adopt the disclsoure requirements for Board appointees and for County land use and procurement staffs. The first failed 2-7 (Burton and McGimsey yes); the second failed 1-8 (Burton yes). By that time, no one was interested in lobbying the General Assembly for the 14 recommendations that required General Assembly action.
Would the passage of those proposals have changed anything? Hard to say. Individuals can ignore policies; a new majority on the Board or the General Assembly can overturn actions taken by their predecessors. Still, it would have sent a clear message to the public by both bodies that our governing officials were at least interested in maximizing the appearance of transparency.
Elder Berry

I've stopped asking myself how much worse the actions of this BOS can get. The previous board's ethics pledge whether comprehensive or not was clear and understandable. This current board now has failed repeatedly to uphold standards of transparency and ethical behavior. It is truly sad when we school our children in kindergarten or first grade about standards of behavior that this BOS can't seem to grasp or has decided to simply ignore. Mr. York in particular is almost impossible to explain, in that he has apparently regressed in what standard of behavior he is willing to promise Loudoun citizens. Mr. Delgaudio is what he always seems to have been: a complete disgrace to his office and to the county.

Have you guys seen video of This Man Owns Congress. From a Newtown resident. I haven't mastered entering video's yet.
May I carry a concealed firearm in California?
Except in extremely limited circumstances, you may not carry a concealed firearm on your person in public unless you have a valid CCW license. CCW permits are issued only by a county sheriff to residents of the county, or by the head of a city police department to residents of that city.
(PC Sections 12025-12031, 12050-12054)
I never said mag size alone. It includes other aspects of the rifle such as semi-auto, pistol grip, stock etc. Your arguing style is that if you can prove I do not know every aspect of the ban then I don't know anything about the ban.
If you can't buy one in a store then it might as well be illegal. If I get caught with one by police and it puts me in more trouble it might as well be illegal. Is illegal the absolute correct word to use, maybe not. But you guys love to parse words to inch ahead in this debate. Just a cheap, distracting and digressing arguing tactic IMO.
I never said "Federally" anything. I have heard that gun shows require less background checks than buying over the counter. I'm sure you know that to be true. Actually it probably pertains to non-licensed to non-licensed transactions. Again, parsing words to inch ahead.
I just finished the CNN segment on gun control. The pro-gun folks all had one way to deal with Mr. Morgan that I am sure the pro-gun folks liked…they all raised their voices to the point of yelling at him. Again, another cheap arguing tactic that substance less people use.
In NYS, all gun shows have a County Clerks office at the show so people can not only get a back ground check, they can get a handgun added to the permit that same day.
Now, individual/private sales are another matter. It is illegal to sell a firearm to a known felon. (Example; the West Webster Fire Dept shooting---which happened 3 miles from my house) The individual that bought those weapons is facing 5 years in jail, maybe longer.No law ever prevented a crime.
And we should charge you for not providing references to back up your verbal diarrhea.
It is LEGAL to carry a concealed weapon in California provided you have a permit. The issuance of that permit is based on a Good Cause policy. If you can demonstrate to the proper authority (Sheriffs department) that you need to have a CCW permit, they will issue one to you. It is not as easy as in some other states, but is achievable by common citizens.
Just because you or your friends don't have one or know of anyone that has one doesn't mean they must be illegal. You're bending the truth by assuming from fragments of misinformation, that something "surely" must be illegal if it's difficult to obtain or not in plain sight.
Take a break from trying to win this debate, study your case, provide credible documentation, and bring more than just your opinion to the table.

[QUOTE=ControlsInMT;15157061]I was thinking that showed how careful CCW people are in California. I'm sure he has probably walked past several and didn't even know. Guess they aren't all just drooling to shoot somebody!
You live in California, and you need to get out more.
I've got two brick and mortar stores within 30 miles of my home that sell machine guns. Real, class 3 machine guns. Silencers, too.
You stated earlier that your 10/22 wasn't an assault rifle because the magazine held less than 10 (or 8 or 7 or whatever) rounds. Actually, the quote was something to the effect of "all a manufacturer has to do to avoid the ban is reduce magazine capacity"
That none of your friends or neighbors are graced by the great state of California with a permit to carry doesn't mean that it doesn't exist as you are trying to insist.
As I thought, you proved completely unable to refute anything that I said with verifiable references.
Since you are the one who is proposing change, you need to be 100% accurate in your argument to convince us. You're trying to play with words while dodging the actual facts and laws of this nation.
These are more your speed since they lean more to opinion. We'll leave facts to those capable of dealing with them for now.
Answer these:
If we cannot enforce the laws we currently have, what real effect will more laws have?
Since "assault rifles" killed less people than blunt weapons did, what purpose does attempting to ban them serve? What real, logical justification can you come up with other than "they're scary and I don't think that people should own them"?
this should make Brian Gun Control and Astudent pee their pants
she has good rhythm and good speed..No law ever prevented a crime.

But never mind the fact that an average Joe cannot get a permit.
I guess I could say it is legal to kill people providing you are doing it in self-defense, but I will leave that part off. It sounds better to just say its legal to kill people.
If you know so much about California why dont you name an average Joe that has been granted a permit to carry? And not the owner of a bank or a jewelry store, an average Joe, for self defense.
WTH would that prove??? Citing the law isn't good enough for you, Holy crap?
May I carry a concealed firearm in California?
Except in extremely limited circumstances, you may not carry a concealed firearm on your person in public unless you have a valid CCW license. CCW permits are issued only by a county sheriff to residents of the county, or by the head of a city police department to residents of that city.
(Penal codes, Sections 12025-12031, 12050-12054) Look it up, not even you can't be that lazy to not google a law..No law ever prevented a crime.
To shed some insight as someone that lived there...Southern Ca.: There was a time when the authorities handed out CCW. That all changed back in the 80's and 90's. When I left several years ago it was nearly impossible to get a CCW in Southern Cal. because the Sheriff and P.D's Cheifs had become so political and are to chicken to stand up to the gun lobby that would rail against them....don't want to lose that cushy position you know. To get CCW you literally had to know someone, and that someone had better have some clout.
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what will never be. (Thomas Jefferson 1816)

Big inning lifts Ohio State past UNCG 12-2
JACKSONVILLE, FL – Ohio State starting pitcher Cory Luebke allowed just one run and scattered five hits in seven innings on the hill as the UNC Greensboro baseball team fell 12-2 to Ohio State Friday afternoon at North Florida's Harmon Stadium in Jacksonville.
UNCG (2-7) jumped out to an early 1-0 lead after the Spartans scored a run in the bottom of the first without the luxury of a hit. Greg Feltes led off with a walk and advanced to second base on a pass ball. After Jermaine Mitchell moved Feltes to third on an infield groundout, Feltes scampered home on a second pass ball charged to Ohio State catcher Eric Fryer.
Ohio State (2-2) tied the game in the visiting half of the third inning as the Buckeyes put together a pair of hits with two outs. Third baseman Ronnie Bourquin reached base with his first career triple and designated hitter Adam Schneider drove him home with a single through the left side.
The Buckeyes extended their lead to 3-1 after the top of the fourth of a pair of walks with the bases loaded. Two innings later, Ohio State tacked on two more runs to take a 5-1 lead after five and a half innings. Jacob Howell and Eric Fryer reached on back to back errors on the Spartan infield, leaving runners at first and second with nobody out. After Fryer swiped second base, Schneider collected his second RBI of the game with a sacrifice fly to centerfield. J.B. Shuck capped the inning for the visitors with a single on the infield.
In the top of the eighth inning Ohio State exploded for seven runs and broke the game wide open as the Buckeyes held a 12-1 advantage after the frame. UNCG committed two costly errors and a wild pitch in the inning that led to four unearned runs. The Spartans finished the game with a total of six errors.
Guy Welsh picked up the Spartans' second run of the game in the eighth inning as the Tucson, AZ native collected his team-leading ninth RBI of the season. Freshman Shane Thompson led off the inning with a single to leftfield in his first career at-bat as a Spartan and Mitchell followed with a single of his own to left before Welsh laced a single to center.
UNCG starter Wes McCall (0-2) took the loss after allowing three runs on six hits in 3-2/3 innings on the hill.
Sophomore Mike Mongiello paced UNCG at the plate as the East Setauket, NY product was 2-for-3 at the dish.
UNCG returns to the diamond Saturday afternoon when the Spartans take on Western Michigan at 1 p.m. from Harmon Stadium.

U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Ray LaHood announced his retirement on Jan. 29, a move expected by many in the transportation industry.
In a letter to DOT employees, LaHood said he would stay on until President Obama names a successor, putting an end to the cat-and-mouse game he has played with the media for months.
"I've told President Obama, and I've told many of you, that this is the best job I've ever had," LaHood wrote.
Many prominent officials in the transportation sector could be LaHood's successor. Those rumored to be under consideration include Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who would bolster the administration's Hispanic credentials, and NTSB Chairwoman Debbie Hersman, who would give him a female cabinet pick. Other long-shot candidates include former Rep. Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.).
LaHood oversaw several significant rulemakings, including those stemming from an FAA reauthorization earlier this year, and a 2010 aviation safety bill that mandated many new aviation safety and consumer protections.

ARDEN HILLS, Minn. (KNSI) After ensuring that other deployed U.S. troops got their greetings from afar, a Minnesota National Guard unit made the final leg of its trip home from Afghanistan.
The last wave of 24 soldiers from the 147th Human Resource Company arrived in Arden Hills for a welcome-home ceremony last night.
The company was in charge of military postal operations in three areas in Afghanistan and was spread across 19 bases.
The unit was a joint operation involving multiple military branches overseas as part of Operating Enduring Freedom.
On average, Guard officials say the company handled 100,000 pounds a day of incoming mail and 30,000 pounds of outgoing mail.

weird start to my monday.
Grabbed a sample of this when I stocked up on Maple Sugar. I mean coconut and chocolate, how could I resist? The dry leaves smell so good, like chocolate cake soaked in coconut cream. I love to do cakes sans icing with coconut cream, you brush it onto the dry cake over and over until it's just oozing with creamy coconut goodness. Mmm!
This is a very chocolatey tea! And not fake chocolate, but nice dark roasty cocoa notes. The coconut kind of plays second fiddle to the chocolate but it's still there! This reminds me of a more dessert-y version of Yunnan's Fable/Coconut Cacao (which I am 99% sure are the same teas). Very nice with a little cream and sugar!
We loved the Chocolate Delight tea from this company so much that my friend ordered that one and a new one to try! (Thank you, Doulton!). The aroma is heavenly. I had only snipped the seal on the bag, hadn't even opened it yet, when that wonderful coconut/chocolate aroma filled the air. The tea is very fragrant, and I felt the dominant note was chocolate rather than coconut. I found there to be a strong vanilla component as well. It is smooth, not astringent. We drank it sans additions and enjoyed it immensely. I plan to serve this for Wednesday tea party and I think it will be a hit.
Eight ounces of boiling water; 1 1/2 teaspoons of tea; three minutes. I added about a teaspoon of black sage honey and a couple of tablespoons of whole milk.
This is tasty and light. Coconut Truffle is a nice afternoon tea. I love the fragrance of toasty coconut wafting in the air as the flavor crosses my taste buds! The chocolate beckons for some spice so next time I brew it, I will add some red pepper flakes.
Another cuppa with Ashmanra. This one smells like chocolate macaroons to me but dry and brewed. Black the tea is dark chocolate and coconut taste. Adding milk and sugar it tastes even more like chocolate macaroons to me.
Delicious very strong undertone of the rich cocoa with just a hint of the coconut. Definitely recommend having with cream (this tea prompted me to go out and get real cream – the one that says "whipping cream" on the carton). It's a lovely dessert tea with a nice smooth black tea flavoring under it all. I didn't realize it had honeybush in it till I went back to write this review and read it but in retrospect I think I could sense it smoothing everything out (I love honeybush).

CMS Expo May 2-4, 2011
I'll be presenting "What's new with templates in Joomla! 1.6" at CMS Expo. Two back-to-back workshops on Tuesday afternoon will cover new features of Joomla! 1.6 that are pretty cool and powerful.
What's New in Templates for 1.6?
Parameters: not just for template shops anymore!
With the abiltiy to easily assign variants of your custom template (template styles) for particular sections or individual pages of your site, building in these options with parameters can be a powerful tool. This workshop will look at the template manager, the template parameters of the beez5 and beez 2 templates and then demonstrate the process of adding parameters to a custom template.
What's New in Templates for 1.6?
Template overrides, Layout overrides and Custom Menu Item Types.
The html folder of a template is both less necessary and more powerful in Joomla 1.6. Less necessary because the improvements of the core Joomla! output means you don't have do extensive overrides just to get goood clean html code, and more powerful because you now can create layout overrides that you apply to only parts of your website. We'll look at examples of layout overrides in the sample data, and then take them a step further while demonstrating the process of making a template override (global), a layout override assigned for certain contacts, articles, or categories, and a custom menu item type that will apply the overrides at the menu item level.
I'll have a new companion Template card (featuring a yellow iris) with all of the new 1.6 stuff. My purple Cheat Sheet 2 for 1.5 still has useful tips ans strategies, only a few things are obsolete with 1.6.
Joomla Day New England
I'll be presenting a Joomla! Templates workshop on April 2, 2011 at Joomla Day New England.
The focus will be on What's New in Joomla! 1.6:
The process of converting a static html page with css into a template file hasn't changed too much, but Joomla 1.6 offers even more ways to customize your template. In this one hour workshop I'll give an overview of the new options available for styling with Joomla! 1.6 and how the template manager has changed. If time allows, I'll walk you through a simple template conversion from a static html file.
Froggy Bottom Guitar site launches!
I've been maintaining the Froggy Bottom Guitar site for several years and talking with the owner about a new site. This is the 40th anniversary of Michael Millard building Froggy Bottom Guitars, so it seemed appropriate to celebrate with a new website and we got to work in a serious way in January. The Fretboard Journal saw the 40th anniversary coming as well, and last November my husband sent off the final edit of a feature article about our friend Michael and his wonderful guitars. It turns out that magazine publishing and web site development run on similar schedules -- not quite a year later, the feature article is out in the edition that hit the newsstands around October 1st. We launched the new site on October 2nd.
May Day Rally in Montpelier
I've been involved with The Vermont Workers Center's Healthcare is a Human Right campaign for about a year now. Our efforts have paid off! The Vermont House of Representatives just passed a bill that came through the Vermont Senate -- it calls for planning for Universal (Single Payer) Health Care for all Vermonters -- a plan is to be ready for next year's legislative session. We're having a big rally - now celebration on May first, and I'll be there! The NEXT day I'll head to Chicago for CMS Expo....

Question: On the new elevated connection to I-5 from eastbound Highway 16 – the one that goes over Center Street and South Tacoma Way – I notice that some of the supports are concrete while others are big old rusty steel columns. Why are they using different materials? – Robert, Tacoma
Answer: The parts of the highway supported by steel columns are just temporary, set up to handle traffic while the new east-bound Nalley Valley viaduct is being built. The sections of roadway over the concrete columns are parts of a more permanent plan.
According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, some of the sections supported by steel columns will stay in place for as long as eight years. Then traffic will be switched onto the permanent structure, and the temporary detour will be demolished.

Queen of the rosary, sweet Virgin of Fatima, who hast deigned to appear in the land of Portugal and hast brought peace, both interior and exterior, to that once so troubled country, we beg of thee to watch over our dear homeland and to assure its moral and spiritual revival. Bring back peace to all nations of the world so that all, and our own nation in particular, may be happy to call thee their Queen and the Queen of Peace. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for our country. Our Lady of Fatima, obtain for all humanity a durable peace. Amen.
Dearest Mother, Queen of the Holy Rosary, who came to Fatima to reveal to all mankind the divine plan for true Christian peace, of prayer, penance, and consecration, grant an abundance of grace, strength, and guidance to the members of thy Fatima Crusade, here present and throughout the world. Inspire us to great zeal, oh great Mediatrix of All Graces, that we may be effective instruments in spreading devotion to thy rosary; that we may be faithful in wearing thy scapular; that we may inspire our brothers in Christ to a life of sacrifice, penance, and modesty, and finally, that we may help to bring about that wonderful day when all men, through consecration to thy Immaculate Heart, shall be one in Christ. Amen.
O Most Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of the most holy rosary, you were pleased to appear to the children of Fatima and reveal a glorious message. We implore you, inspire in our hearts a fervent love for the recitation of the rosary. By meditating on the mysteries of the redemption that are recalled therein may we obtain the graces and virtues that we ask, through the merits of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
