Summer is well under way and things seem to be going fine for the moment. As it turned out, the winter injury to the trees was worse than I previously thought. Extended periods of really cold temps did quite a bit of damage. The buds turn black and when I open them up, they are all black on the inside. They froze! Although it doesnt hurt the tree too bad, they should be fine by next spring. The ones that took the brunt are Honey Crisp.
The other topic on my mind at the moment is our bees. I have had 3 hives die outright this year! The most likely cause is pesticides. People just dont have any idea what damage they are doing and need to be much more cautious. You might be spraying for mosquitoes and that product is also killing other things too. Remember that a bee can travel 3-5 miles one way just to find food. We are ALL responsible and need to take steps to help the bees in any way we can. Farms, Golf courses, Parks, Schools, Property owners, we all have an interest in this. If you have to spray, please be careful and know what you are spraying and what else it might kill besides weeds or bugs. Educate yourself, PLEASE.
As for the trees that have apples, things look good. The extra rain helped and at this rate, we should have a decent crop come fall. Lets hope it remains s

Studies Show Montessori Education Benefits Children in the Long Run
Montessori Education offers Advantages over Traditional Education.
Determining the best type of education for children can be a difficult decision for parents. The choice between public, private, Montessori or home schooling offer different options for a child's educational opportunities. Weighing the importance of scholastic achievement, social skills and future career goals can greatly influence a parent's choice. Fortunately, a recent study showed that Montessori education offers an advantage for both academic and
social development.
For more than, 70 years, Montessori school children compared to traditional public school children, research showed, that Montessori education has been growing across the country in both private and public school systems. With a focused curriculum in human development, Montessori education helps children progress through purposeful movement, exploration and discovery.
In a 2006 study of Milwaukee Montessori school children, compared to traditional public school children, research showed that Montessori education raised test scores. The study concluded, "In essence, attending a Montessori program from the approximate ages of 3 years through 11 years of age predicts significantly higher math and science standardized test scores."
The study also supported the hypothesis that Montessori education has a more positive, long term impact on children compared to traditional education because of the program's specific structure and organization. "By the end of kindergarten, the Montessori children preformed better on standardized tests of reading, and math, engaged in more positive interaction of the playground, and showed more advanced social cognition and executive control". The
study stated.
"Seeing these results helps to reinforce what we've seen in our student for many years." Ann Griesdorn, Founder and director of Springs East Montessori, said. "When children engage in Montessori education opportunities, the education leads to better academic and social skills and we're excited to see more and more parents embracing the advantages offered by Montessori."
Located in Cincinnati Ohio, Springs East Montessori School had been educating and inspiring children since 1961. With an emphasis on individual learning styles and rates of development, learning at Springs East Montessori School is a process that engages the child's total self; physical, emotional social and intellectual. From pre-school through the third grade, children are encouraged to become independent thinkers and problem solvers, with the individual child as the center focus of the curriculum. For more information, contact the school.

Getting Ready for September:
Information for the Class of 2017-18
Below you will find information to help you get ready to start the professional year of your concurrent B.Ed. at OISE. If you have any questions, please contact Ann Trakosas at firstname.lastname@example.com or 416-978-1120. The CTEP office is located on the 5th floor of OISE in room 5-180.
Orientation Day
Date: Thursday, September 7, 2017
Location: OISE, 252 Bloor Street West, OISE Library - Ground Floor
Time: 9:30am - 3:00pm
Please bring a device - a laptop or tablet will work best
Orientation Agenda
Accessibility Services
If you are registered for accomodations at UTM or UTSC, please note that you will need to move this registration to Accessibility Services on the St. George Campus over the summer. Ask your accessibility/disability counsellor at UTM or UTSC to forward your documentation to Accessibility Services on the St. George Campus.
Have accommodations in place already that are relevant to practicum? Please advise Greg Boudreau (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Jeananne Robertson (email@example.com).
Have academic accommodations already, but think you might need new accommodations for practicum? Book an appointment with Jeananne to discuss. Practicum accomodations should be put in place as early as possible in the summer to allow time for planning.
Timetable and Important Dates
The course timetable, schedule of classes and field experiences (a.k.a. important dates), and other key documents for the 2017-18 academic year will be updated throughout the summer on the Professional Year Program Information (5th Year) webpage. You will also receive a paper copy of many of these documents in your Orientation Day package.
Course Enrolment
The Registrar's Office at OISE will load your BEd Year 5 academic courses - you do not need to register for them. Check your ROSI/ACORN toward end of the summer to see your timetable. Double check your timetable in the first week of classes as some changes can occur throughout the summer.
If applicable, teacher candidates are responsible for signing up for the Teaching in Ontario Catholic Schools course through the Continuing and Professional Learning (CPL) website at http://uoft.me/TOCS. Registration is now open for the 2017-18 offerings of the non-credit course. This course is a requirement to teach in Ontario Catholic Schools and interested CTEP candidates normally take it in their 5th year. Please see your email of July 13th.
Payment of Tuition Fees
Even though you are coming to OISE this year, your payment of tuition fees deadline is that of the faculty/college where you took your undergraduate degree. If you are unsure of this deadline, please contact the Registrar's Office at your home faculty/college.
U of T now allows credit card payment of tuition.
Criminal Record Check
You will need a Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Search (VSS) in order to do your teaching practica. Your VSS will need to be no more than 6 months old from the start date of your practicum. If you plan to do your practica in two different school boards, you will need an original VSS to present to each board.
Health & Safety Training
CTEP requires all teacher candidates to have completed the online learning module Worker Health & Safety in 4 Steps in advance of practicum. You must retain a digital copy of the certificate of completion.
Many school boards require teacher candidates to complete additional health & safety training and/or policy sign-offs before beginning practicum. You can review the procedures for your desired school board(s) using the Guide to Onboarding Processes by School Board. Any relevant links or documents that have been provided to CTEP can be found on the webpage Practicum for Teacher Candidates. If you have spare time this summer, you may wish to complete some training ahead of time as appropriate; for example, you can watch online training videos or read policy documents if they are available online. In some cases it will not make sense for you to complete aspects of the training until just before or just after the start of practicum; for example, training that must be coordinated by human resources personnel. Please do not contact the school board to obtain materials or submit paperwork in the summer; leave that to the CTEP Office.

A lot of Democrats are unhappy with Joe Lieberman, and a lot of AP reporters are Democrats. So the way the AP described Joe Lieberman in this story could be either a typo or a Freudian slip; click to enlarge:
Normally you'd assume it's a typo, but Best of the Web pointed it out hours ago, and it hasn't been corrected. So, who knows? Maybe the AP really means it.

Pomalyst - has anyone experienced heart trouble? I had one episode of congestive heart failure 3?

Hi johnmarv,
Welcome to the site! I did not take Pomalyst (pomalidomide), but I took thalidomide, which is very similar. I had terrible side effects from that drug, including petit mal seizures. I took thalidomide for 10 months and was then switched to Velcade. The infusions of Velcade, along with Decadron, put my multiple myeloma in remission, and it has remained in remission. Are you seeing an internist for treatment of your multiple myeloma? You should be seeing a hematologist/oncologist. Are you taking any other meds that might have caused your CHF and A Fib? I am very concerned that you remain on the Pomalyst if your doctor suspects that it has caused a heart condition. There are many, many treatments for multiple myeloma that do not have the horrible, sometimes permanent, side effects of pomalidomide and thalidomide. An Internal Medicine doctor should not be treating a cancer like multiple myeloma. Ask your internist for a referral to an oncologist/hematologist. With PROPER treatment, multiple myeloma is very treatable, although incurable. In 2 months, I will be a 10-year survivor of MM. I have been in your shoes, and I am very concerned about the meds you have been given, in view of your recent CHF and A Fib. I will add you as a friend so that you can send me a private message through this site. Click on my name in blue. You will be taken to my profile page. Click on "Add a friend". You will then be able to see the option to 'Ask a private question". I hope you will send me a private message. I think we need to talk.

Indianapolis, Indiana – Attorneys for Plaintiff, Eli Lilly and Company of Indianapolis, Indiana, filed suit in the Southern District of Indiana alleging that Defendants, Actavis LLC of Parsippany, New Jersey; Teva Pharmaceuticals USA of North Wales, Pennsylvania; and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. of Petach Tikva, Israel infringed its rights in United States Patent No. 7,772,209 ("the '209 patent") for "Antifolate Combination Therapies". Plaintiff is seeking injunctive relief, declaratory judgment, and damages including costs and attorneys' fees.
Eli Lilly and Teva have been involved in numerous patent infringement lawsuits against each other in the past. In April, Eli Lilly sued Teva on a claim of patent infringement of the same drug involved in this case, Alimta. This new complaint is based on a filing by Defendant with the FDA "seeking approval to manufacture and sell its Pemetrexed Injection Concentrate."

the case.
42 year-old-male presents to your Emergency Department via ambulance after being found unresponsive at home by his family. Paramedics found him to have a GCS of 5 and a blood glucose level of 1.9 mmol/L. This was treated with intravenous dextrose which subsequently improved his GCS to 13.
Past Medical History.
- Schizoaffective disorder
- Alcohol dependence
- Fluoxetine
- Lithium
On examination.
Looks unwell. Visibly jaundiced ++.
A: Patent & protected.
B: Respiratory rate 24 per minute, SpO2 99% (room air). Chest clear to auscultation.
C: Warm peripheries. Pulse rate 107 per minute, Blood Pressure 95/60. Heart sounds dual without murmurs. No peripheral oedema.
D: GCS 11 (E4V1M6). Equal & reactive pupils (4mm). Moving all 4 limbs.
E: Temperature 36.8*C. Blood glucose (post-treatment) 4.6mmol/L.
F: Euvolemic.
G: Soft, non-distended abdomen with right upper quadrant tenderness. Active bowel sounds. No peripheral stigmata of chronic liver disease or coagulopathy.
At this time his family arrive to the department & report that he has not been his usual self for the past two weeks. He had been shutting himself away in his room with minimal oral intake. They report that he started to appear yellow around 2 days ago & today they found lots of empty medication packets in his bedroom…
- Mild (compensated) metabolic acidosis:
- HCO3 20, BE -4. pH 7.39.
- Expected pCO2 = (1.5× 20) + 8 = 30 + 8 = 38.
- Actual venous pCO2 of 34
- ∴ likely a concomitant respiratory alkalosis.
- High anion gap (Cl = 77)
- = Na – (HCO3 + Cl)
- = 130 – (20+77)
- = 33.
- ∴ HAGMA secondary to severely elevated lactate
However, need to check serum ketones, urea (9.8mmol/L) & an osmolar gap (serum osmol 297 mmol/L).
- Severely elevated serum lactate (19mmol/L):
- Type A (inadequate oxygen delivery)
- Tissue hypoperfusion (shock, regional ischaemia)
- Hypermetabolic state (sepsis/seizure)
- Severe hypoxia or impaired oxygen utilisation (eg. CO/CN poisoning)
- Type B (no evidence of inadequate oxygen delivery)
- Underlying disease
- Drugs & toxins
- Inborn errors of metabolism
- Type A (inadequate oxygen delivery)
- Other:
- Moderately elevated serum creatinine
- ?Acute vs Chronic renal failure
- Mild hyponatraemia
- Mild hypokalaemia
- Normoglycaemic
- Moderately elevated serum creatinine
- Paracetamol
- Iron
- Valproate
- Metformin
- Isoniazid
- Linezolid
- Alcohol (including propylene glycol)

(Sepsis, Cardiac failure)
- Infiltration
(Inherited diseases, Malignancy)
Jaundice: Post-hepatic (Conjugated)
- Biliary obstruction
(Cholelithiasis, Malignancy, Pancreatitis, Strictures, Primary sclerosing cholangitis, Cholangiocarcinoma)
Acute liver failure: (Most common causes)
- Drugs
(Paracetamol most common, Antibiotics, Statins, Antivirals, Antifungals, Antiepileptics, General anaesthetics, Iron, Recreational drugs, Herbal remedies, Carbon tetrachloride)
- Viral hepatitis
(Hepatitis C and B)
- Alcoholic hepatitis
- Toxin exposure (Amanita mushrooms)
Acute liver failure: (Other causes)
- Autoimmune hepatitis

- Veno-occusive disease
- Metabolic acidosis (described above)
- Moderate-severe derangement of liver function

- AST/ALT ratio < 2:1 ∴ unlikely alcohol-induced liver injury
- Associated severe jaundice/hyperbilirubinaemia (Bili 291)
- Associated coagulopathy (INR 4.4)
- Impression = highly concerning for fulminant liver failure
- Predominate hepatitic picture (or hepatocellular injury)
- Normal PLT count, against the Dx of DIC or portal HTN with cirrhosis.
- Elevated white cell count with neutrophilia & hyperlactataemia should trigger administration of empiric broad spectrum antibiotics.
Fulminant liver failure secondary to Paracetamol toxicity
- Support ABCs.
- Intubation and mechanical ventilation:
- Indicated if the patient is unable to protect their airway or maintain a patent airway in setting of cerebral oedema secondary to hepatic encephalopathy.
- Obtain large bore peripheral intravenous access
- Commence volume resuscitation with intravensous crystalloid and titrate to perfusion, pulse rate, mean arterial pressure >65mmHg, urine output and mental state
- Commence vasopressors for fluid refractory shock
Treat precipitating factors.
- Sepsis:
- Empiric parenteral antibiotics
- NB – Prophylactic antimicrobials with broad-spectrum coverage of gram-positive and gram-negative activity including an anti-fungal (e.g. piperacillin with tazobactam and fluconazole) should be administered on admission, as this halves the incidence of infective episodes when compared with commencement at the time of suspected infection.
- Gastrointestinal haemorrhage:
- Assess for haematemesis, melena or fall in haemoglobin.
- Commence PPI ± octreotide infusion and urgent endoscopic treatment
- Intentional toxin ingestion:
- Commence available antidotes, specifically N-acetyl cysteine (see below)
- Place under mental health act
- Urgent mental health assessment
- Acute kidney injury
- Malnutrition
Treat complications.
- Hypoglycemia:
- Glucose 5-10% solution
- NB. Concentrations >12% require administration via central venous line
- Seizures: IV Midazolam 0.15mg/kg
- Encephalopathy: PO/NG Lactulose 30ml every 2h (controversial in acute liver failure)
- Cerebral oedema:
- Common in grade III to IV encephalopathy
- Liver transplantation is the only definitive treatment
- Coagulopathy:
- Intravenous Vitamin K 5-10mg
- Consider FFP (15ml/kg) if actively bleeding
- Electrolyte derangement:
- Serial monitoring:
- Glucose
- Electrolytes
- Coagulation studies
- Liver and renal function
- Paracetamol toxicity:
- Commence N-acetylcysteine
- Requires Intensive Care / HDU level care
- Will need a Liver Specialist Unit if meeting transplant criteria
Massive paracetamol overdose can result in hepatotoxicity despite early treatment.
In the acute phase, administration of activated charcoal within 4 hours of overdose has been demonstrated to reduce paracetamol concentrations & lower rates of hepatotoxicity.
- INR >3.0 at 48 hours or >4.5 at any time
- Oliguria or creatinine > 200 micromol/L
- Acidosis with pH < 7.3 after resuscitation
- Systolic hypotension with BP < 80mmHg
- Hypoglycaemia
- Severe thrombocytopenia
- Encephalopathy of any degree
Originally devised as prognostic criteria to predict patient survival without liver transplantation but now used as selection criteria for potential liver transplant recipients
Criteria include;
- pH <7.3
- Creatinine >300
- Presence of encephalopathy
Relative contraindications
- Poor social support
- Psychiatric illness likely to affect compliance
Patient was subsequently transferred to the intensive care unit of the regional liver transplant centre with decompensated liver failure secondary to paracetamol overdose.
The patient continued to receive the N-acetylcysteine infusion along with antimicrobial cover of tazocin and fluconazole.
Over the course of 10 days his LFTs & Coagulation profile returned to normal & his encephalopathy gradually resolved. He was subsequently transferred to a mental health facility for ongoing care.

This strategy will not only give your brand a personality, but also will play an important role on what business you are attracting. Through a good personal branding, you can make customers leave out other brands in the market and select yours since they will believe it can provide solution to their problems.

3. Discover the weak areas of your business
Knowing your areas of weaknesses can greatly help you in establishing a perfect business brand. As an entrepreneur you need to come up with a strategy on how to convert your business weakness to strengths through the use of these brands. In this way you can be certain to stay on top with other businesses
4. Use promotion
Promotion is a perfect way of establishing your personal brand. It involves putting your academic and industry experience plus other related information in your website. This will not only increase your level of credibility, but also brand you as an expert and an experienced professional in that field or the related product.

With the above tips, you can be sure to create a powerful brand that will make you emerge top in the market hence competing effectively with your competitors.

GT is a brand best known for its BMX and mountain bikes nevertheless there are fast road-going options in its range and there always have been in some form. The latest 2012 offering of GTR Series tarmac machines is small but, like the knobblier-tyred bikes, focuses on bangs for the buck.
While we were in Poole last week at Cycle Sports Group, the owner of Cannondale, we also got to see the GT road models nestling nervously among the more famous BMX and mountain bikes that also come from CSG. We say 'nervously' because GT has always been one of the brasher bike brands with big shiny frames offering miles of suspension travel and humungous shock absorbers. The road bikes in comparison have always seemed somehow quieter which is a shame as they've always stood up well against other 'value' brands, offering a bit of distinctiveness against the competition when a mass of generic £500 - £1,000 road bikes can seem a little dull.
According to GT's Patrick Kaye, "Price/value is our main game for 2012 but we've taken out a hell of a lot of weight; 710 grams from the GTR Series 5." There are also big changes to the carbon road frame and there's a better choice of sizes.
Funnily enough, this coming year 2012 will see the less expensive GT bikes once again without the distinctive 'triple triangle' of previous years. The prototypes we saw did have an extra piece welded in at the joint between the top tube and the seat tube - what can only be called a vestigial gusset - in an attempt to harken the old days of the seat stays crossing the seat tube to join the top tube a little way along in the manner of the GT mountain bikes.
GT 2012 GTR Series 5 £599.99. There's a carbon fork and MicroShift levers.
Unfortunately, unlike the proper and very necessary endo-defying gussets behind GT mountain bike headtubes, the little road affair didn't really serve any useful purpose and, anyway, they never go down particularly well with road bike purists who naturally always argue for clean, efficient and light frame joints. But still, fair play to GT for having a go at a bit of fun but it seems by the time we got to see them pretty much everyone had agreed to abandon the gusset, leaving a new alloy frame that's been hydroformed and generally shaped in the latest style to resemble a carbon frame while also taking out some weight.
According to GT's Patrick Kaye, the frame used on the three less expensive GTR Series bikes, the 5, 4 and 3, has also been tweaked in geometry, lengthening the chainstays and increasing the headtube height a tad to make the bikes more comfortable for the riders they envisage will be buying at these £599.99, £699.99 and £899.99 prices.
For that money you get 8-speed Shimano gears on the GTR Series 5, 9-speed Sora on the 4 and new Tiagra 10-speed on the 3 although both the 2300 and Sora models employ Microshift combined gear and brake levers which Kaye reckons not only give him scope to spend money on other more beneficial parts of the bike - he claims the £599.99 GTR Series 5 will be one of the only road bikes at that price to feature a carbon bladed fork - but they're also lighter and more comfortable than the Shimano versions. Road.cc certainly found them nice and reliable in last year's Centos 10-speed guise.
GT 2012 GTR Series 3 £899.99 with Shimano's new 10-speed Tiagra gears
The two pricier alloy GTs use a 'more aggressively butted' - lighter - frame with a tapered headtube and BB30 bottom bracket. There's also a full-carbon fork with integral bearings; from 10 yards away, and especially in the groovy matt white finish and neat double-pass welds, you'd be hard pressed to tell that the whole fuselage isn't carbon-fibre. The frame geometry is a little more full-on and unlike the cheaper frame there are no eyes for a rear rack. In other words, the intention for these models is to race but the really important thing is that the price of the Shimano 105-equipped bike called GTR Series 2 is £1,099.00 and the Series 1 with Ultegra is £1,399.99. Very keen considering you get Schwalbe Lugano tyres and entirely non-embarrassing cockpit kit and wheels.
The new GTR Elite bike uses exactly the same fork but with the fuselage in higher-modulus-than-last-year carbon too and weighing in at 975 grams for a medium size. They've lost the seatmast in favour of a rider-and-shipping-friendly standard seatpost but gained BB30 and tapered head tube for a 15% improvement in torsional stiffness, according to our GT man. The vertical compliance has remained unchanged however, reflecting the general realisation that a little comfort can result in a performance advantage. Hooray for that, we say, plus all these bikes now coming in seven sizes from 46 - 63cm.
GT 2012 GTR Elite: high modulus carbon and BB30 makes frame stiffer but under 1,000g

In play centres and coffee shops, mum and toddler groups and pre-school pick-ups, anxious parents are bemoaning a similar problem – their children are misbehaving, their concentration has gone AWOL and tantrums and tears are becoming the norm. And even though every child acts up now and then, many of these issues are down to something very basic: our little ones are simply not getting enough sleep.
According to the National Sleep Foundation of America, a toddler should get an average of 12 to 14 hours of sleep over a 24-hour period, with a preschooler needing around 11 to 12 hours. Yet many of our children do not experience these sleep levels, and this can affect their health and wellbeing, plus that of their parents.
"In my experience, the evidence shows that bedtimes are getting later and sleep times are becoming shorter," says children's sleep consultant, Julie Mallon, of infant and maternity sleep experts, Nurture to Sleep. "Both have poor outcomes – for example, hospital attendance figures from the UK indicate that hospital admissions for children under 14 with sleeping disorders have tripled over the past decade."
She believes that there are a number of reasons for this, including an increasing dependence on technology, a more child-centred style of parenting, poor diet and the example set by an older generation, who work longer hours, come home later and constantly check their phones.
Although older children may have adjusted by now, toddlers and preschoolers are still settling into their new routines, which is why issues with sleep can be even more pronounced. Mallon tells us that changes including early mornings, longer days at nursery, new experiences and learning can all make them overtired – producing cortisol (the stress hormone), which makes it harder to settle at bedtime.
"Children can be overstimulated and therefore need a longer wind-down period," says Mallon. "The ideal wind-down period is between 15 and 20 minutes, where a parent is totally focused on their child."
So what can be done to get better sleep for our little ones? Mallon outlines some approaches to ensuring a good sleep routine is in place for the whole family.
1. When you are putting children to bed it is equally important that you also feel relaxed and confident.
2. Being emotionally present at bedtime is very beneficial to a child's sleep quality. This time in the evening is generally quite chaotic for all families but parents being emotionally available at bedtime may be as important – if not more important – than bedtime practises in predicting sleep quality, so it's crucial for both parents to discuss how they approach the bedtime routine.
3. Implement a consistent routine with the same sequence of events and have bath-time and storytime as part of it.
4. Ensure a comfortable sleep environment including a calm bedroom, good room temperature, the absence of electronic devices and white noise.
5. Processes such as the 'gradual withdrawal technique' which helps the child to develop the ability to self-soothe, can be hugely beneficial.
Another area many parents struggle to tackle with growing, willful toddlers is the dreaded daytime sleep. Some hate the cot and others will only sleep in a moving pushchair, leaving exhausted parents who know their child – who is furiously rubbing their eyes amidst a major meltdown – still needs a daytime nap. One nursery here in Dubai has discovered great success with an Award-winning British invention called the Sleep Coracle, a wooden, oval-shaped bed that sits at floor level, allowing children to climb in and out of it themselves when they're tired, thereby aiding independent sleep habits.
Managing Director and Co-Founder of Creative Nest nursery, Zeena Assam, explains: "The genius of the Dream Coracle is in its simplicity. Its clean, modest design provides a safe and comfortable space for the children to sleep, and even play in. It acts as a cocoon of sorts, where they can snuggle up, doze off and easily climb out, whenever they want. Since it is at floor level, it is more inviting than the traditional cot which may seem huge and intimidating to young children."
Assam reveals that the comfortable, floor-level position also enables Creative Nest's staff to sing, stroke and pat the children to sleep if need be, once they've made the decision to hop into their 'bed'. "After their nap, the children are allowed to take their time waking up, helping themselves out of the Coracle as and when they are ready."

First Wagon: "THE Volvo"
Bought my 1989 Volvo 740GL, from my father in law with 137,000 miles on it in September 2001. He bought it in Maryland with 112 miles on it. I have all the records including the original sticker.
I never thought I would own a boxy old Volvo but I do and it is a great vehicle.
We have driven it many places as a family due to the size, AC, and Cruise control. My father and I performed a head gasket replacement last year. At the time of this writing I have 219905 miles on it. I average 21 miles per gallon. 23 on the highway to the beach with bike and family loaded in it.
Second Wagon: "The 6"
This is only new car we have ever bought. We bought it in Florida at a dealership called MazdaCity. The dealership was impressive. We were really excited about the automatic climate control and stereo controls on the steering wheel. It has almost 70,000 miles on it.
God blessed us with this car. It made us a little nervous when it would not start or shift into gear at about 400 miles. The warranty covered it. The first car I have owned with a warranty. A spring had come loose. They fixed it at MazdaCity. This is such a fun car to drive even if it is a wagon!
Third Wagon: "The NEW one"
Purchased in September 2008 at Volvo of the Triad. 5 cylinder non turbo.
It gets great gas mileage 22-24 in the city and 28-30 on the highway. I have to replace the spring seats and while I am doing that I will replace the front struts.
I hope that we can keep it rolling and it does not cost an arm and leg to keep it up.
Sold this one off. We needed some cash! I used Cars.com and sold it in a week!

Consecration of a Child to Mary
Holy Mary, Mother of God and Mother of all faithful, I place my little child under your mothering protection. To you I completely consecrate him - body and soul. Take him under your care and keep him always. Protect him in his infancy and keep him sound in body and mind. Guard over his youth and keep his heart pure, his thoughts ever holy and directed to God and spiritual things. Protect him always throughout life - in his joys and sorrows, in his dealings with others. Always and in all things be a true mother to him, Mary, and preserve him. I commend him entirely to you. Remember Mother Mary, that through this act of consecration he is by a special claim your child as well as mine; guard him and keep him as your property and possession. Amen.
-- From a Catholic Mother's Manual prayer book (1941) by A. Francis Coomes, S.J.
The lovely mama at JOYfilled Family shared this beautiful prayer of consecration that her priest uses...
Blessed Virgin Mary, * Queen of Heaven and Earth, * to your Immaculate Heart,* the channel of all graces, * we consecrate this child * whom we have received from God's goodness. We offer him [her] to you * that you may present him [her] to Your Divine Son, * that you may take him [her] under your loving, maternal protection,* that you may preserve him [her] from dangers, * that you may keep him [her] from all sin, * that you may make him [her] grow in piety * and in all virtue * so that he [she] may always be worthy * to call himself [herself] your child. May he [she] grow daily in wisdom and in grace, * may he [she] go through life having you always as his [her] refuge and mother. * May all virtues shine in him [her] * and may he [she] never offend your maternal Heart. May the Eternal Father always look upon him [her] with delight * and see in him [her] * a ray and reflection of your Immaculate Beauty. And as today he [she] gladdens our home, * so may he [she] one day gladden the Eternal Home * which we pray will be his [hers]. Amen.

Moping on a Cloudy Rainy Day
There isn't much I can do, and I mope around the house when I'm bored.
Can you tell that I'm bored?
There is only so much one can do playing with toys in the house. Mum won't let me frolic in the mud outside, she said it can get so nasty. But I do my zoomies outside and get that energy out, and then return to the house and mope some more.
I hope you're all having better weather than I am.

Gov. Rick Scott and Cabinet members will settle a three-year-old legal battle next week that will give the state access to property it wants to acquire to build a park near the Governor's Mansion.
The four officials plan to approve a settlement of three separate lawsuits at a Cabinet meeting next Wednesday. But that won't completely end the legal wars between Scott and Steve Andrews, an outspoken and politically active personal injury lawyer.
Scott has proposed a redesign of the land around the mansion, which is shielded from the public's view by a pawn shop, rooming house and electronics store.
Three years ago, Andrews tried to block the state from acquiring three lots and a 1924 two-story house that serves as his Tallahassee office for the park project.
Andrews won Round 1 in circuit court, but Scott appealed. As part of the discovery process in his lawsuit, Andrews found that Scott and his staff used private email accounts for official business. Against the governor's objections, he succeeded in getting a California judge to compel Google to disclose the electronic addresses of computers used to create the accounts.
After the governor's office claimed it was not the custodian of the records of several of his former aides, Andrews sued them individually to obtain access to the public records relating to his dispute. Settlement talks began soon after.
Those legal issues remain unresolved and are not part of the proposed settlement. Scott's office did not respond to questions of whether those claims will soon be settled, but a state appeals court planned to schedule a trial in the near future.
Andrews declined to comment Wednesday.
Under the settlement, Andrews will keep his office at 822 N. Monroe St. in Tallahassee, but the state has the right of first refusal if he sells it.
Andrews will grant the state a permanent parking easement and each side will pay its own fees.
Craig Varn, general counsel to the Department of Environmental Protection, said Scott's legal costs were handled by state lawyers.
The Cabinet members — Attorney General Pam Bondi, Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater and Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam — are not named defendants in the lawsuits, but Andrews sued them and Scott in their roles as trustees of a state board that makes land acquisition decisions at Cabinet meetings.
Times/Herald Staff Writer Mary Ellen Klas contributed to this report. Contact Steve Bousquet at firstname.lastname@example.com or (850) 224-7263. Follow @stevebousquet.
Clarification: An earlier version of this story online mischaracterized the terms of the proposed settlement.

Parent Volunteers
New & Veteran
We have been welcoming our newest Learning Leader Parent Volunteers during the last couple of weeks. The latest training took place back in January for the parents who signed up, but the badges and clearance from the Learning Leaders organization, an outside entity, only started coming in toward the beginning of March. Pretty much at the same time we were informed that the organization was closing its doors for good on March 15th, 2017. For the time being our wonderful parents can volunteer with their Learning Leader badges, valid until June 2017. Principal Pavone will decide how to proceed thereafter.
The primary area volunteers are needed for is lunch and recess monitoring. Our "veteran" parents (and grandparents) have been most helpful. Now we have even more sets of eyes to help keep our students safe during the recess-to-lunch and lunch-to-recess transitions. We are still refining the schedule. Once all the volunteers confirm the days and times of their availability, we hope to cover most days and lunch/recess periods in both the Early Childhood Center and Middle School buildings.
Our volunteers have been incredibly cooperative about monitoring recess, be it outdoors or indoors, and helping out in the lunchrooms. Many thanks to Christina Nieto-Arias, Cornelia Whitley, Bea Murphy, Maria Vrachnos, Nina Karchava, Nickia Joannides, Alicia Gljiva, Lajos Geenen, Yiota Dimitriou, Ana Abreu, Maryam Mizani-Bertrand, Mary Jobaida, Charmaine Mendoza, and Rebecca Barnes.

Based on the aggregated intelligence of 145,000-plus investors participating in Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool's free investing community, Res-Care
With that in mind, let's take a closer look at Res-Care's business and see what CAPS investors are saying about the stock right now.

Sources: Capital IQ (a division of Standard & Poor's) and Motley Fool CAPS.
On CAPS, nearly 98% of the 123 members who have rated Res-Care believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Stars mrindependent and TSIF, both of whom are ranked in the top 2% of our community.
Only two days ago, mrindependent brought the stock's recent beating to our community's attention:
[T]he share price of [Res-Care] has been pummeled among declining earnings estimates and concern about reimbursement rates for the company's services. Although the company's problems are significant, the sell-off has been too extreme. This company is profitable and solvent. .... At 0.7 times book value and 8 times forward earnings, this company is a bargain.
In a pitch from two weeks earlier, TSIF elaborates:
While a reduced outlook should be negative news, Res-Care was punished by nearly 20%. ... Overall, however, the reaction sent Res-Care to a six year low. While some of the contracts may be resolved this quarter, even if Res-Care doesn't continue with its slow growth it still maintains a strong cash flow and is trading well below book value. The market's reaction treats Res-Care, a profitable company, much worse than other similar companies in the health care industry. The Job Corps and training divisions should be receiving more support from the government in this economy, not less. I'm hopeful for a rebound on this one.
What do you think about Res-Care, or any other stock for that matter? If you want to retire rich, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future, and on Motley Fool CAPS, thousands of investors are working every day to find them. CAPS is 100% free, so get started!
Fool contributor Brian Pacampara owns no position in any of the companies mentioned. Johnson & Johnson is a Motley Fool Income Investor pick. Whole Foods is a selection of Stock Advisor. The Fool's disclosure policy always gets a perfect score.

Hello, everyone. As usual, it's been a while since my last post. I guess my only explanation is that I have writers block. I can say I don't have time, but that would be a lie.
Writers block is a legit thing. Nothing has inspired me. My muse has gone on an extended vacation. I don't know why this is happening but I've been doing some writing exercises to get the flow back. I also did some sort of creativity rain dance thing that I hope will help.
In the meantime, I will share with you my feelings about the world. It's fucked up. Straight up, fucked up. The internet doesn't need another asshole with an opinion and so I will only say this: It is upsetting when innocent people (and animals) die. Ferguson, ISIS, James Foley, Israel/Palestine, Ukraine, Monsanto, the rapidly declining elephant population in Africa. The list can and will go on. The only solution for me is to just watch a ton of cute animal videos to get my mind off the real shit that is going on. My fragile mind just can't handle it sometimes, ya dig?
Then theres the Ice Bucket Challenge. I participated. It made me feel popular and like I contributed to a good cause. I doused myself with cold water and donated $100. Isn't it crazy that is takes something viral like a bucket challenge to get people to do something charitable? Don't get me wrong – I consider myself a generous person but I have never even donated to MS research. (And probably won't, for a few reasons not relevant to this post.)
Moving along. Vinny and I got a cat. His name is Nosey and we rescued him from a life of cage living. That makes him a cage free cat, doesn't it? As a major lover of dogs, I am finding myself in the midst of an identity crisis. Am I a dog person? A cat person? I suppose I'm both but since we've only had Nosey for 2 weeks, I will refrain from wearing any adorable cat clothes. For now.
That's all for now. Hopefully the creativity rain dance works and there will be more from me in the near future.

You make me feel like I haven't fully appriciated my good ole Pops after raeding your sad story. Maybe I feel like if I did talk about him more I'd be bragging and people would think I'm some kind of weirdo.Greg is great for the love he has for you and Boogie, it's a beautiful thing! Doesn't having a kid make you feel so complete? I LOVE it.lauras last blog post..

|I have a few daffodils, all of the same variety that I don't know the name of, and they have their seasons a little confused. They are all 4-6 inches high already and I've never had any come up in the fall before. Are there varieties that do that? If not is this the beginning of the end for this variety?
Oct 4, 2013 5:42 PM CST
|There actually are fall blooming daffodils, however, the few I've come across were outlandishly expensive and relatively rare. Usually only available from the breeder (as far as I know).
Nothing that's been done can ever be changed.

|Muscari does that, but I have not heard of daffodils doing that.
You may want to mulch them, or place a rose hut over them to protect them from the winter?
Occasionally, the daffodils here sprout early in the spring,--- and then if winter comes back :--the leaves turn brown?

|I was just visiting a friend in Pennsylvania and he has some rhododendrons and daphne blooming now which have never done that before either. I wonder if this is the beginning of things to come with changing weather patterns or just some weird thing this year?
Oct 23, 2013 3:27 PM CST
|I'm in NYC & I have sometimes had daffodils start to come up in the Fall. I didn't mulch them but they were covered with pine needles. As soon as it got really cold they went dormant. They stayed a pale green & then bloomed like normal in Spring. I don't know about Canada but we've had a very mild Sept/October so that could be why they started to grow. I think they'll be okay but maybe that far north you should mulch them.

The Commonwealth Bank today announced that it will be bringing its Kaching banking app to Facebook.
Kaching will be accessible through Facebook's apps, and will allow Commonwealth Bank customers to do their banking from within Facebook.
CommBank was unwilling to say a great deal about it, at this time, but it did reveal that customers will be able to view balances and transactions, pay bills via BPAY, make third-party transactions protected by NetCode SMS and make real-time peer-to-peer payments to their Facebook friends.
And, when that's done, customers can post that information to their wall or a friend's wall.
Andy Lark, chief marketing and online officer, clarified that it would be mainly for social use — such as paying dues to a social group. "I could pay my plumber, but I wouldn't post that to my wall, because it's boring," he said.
The bank was also careful to explain that it was taking security very seriously, and that any unauthorised transactions would be 100 per cent covered by a security guarantee.
"The power of Facebook for payments is only now becoming clear. It will change banking for consumers and for small business — providing hundreds of thousands of merchants in Australia with full payment systems access. No matter how sophisticated a business' online presence is, they will now have access to a state of the art payments capability, making a level playing field for all," said David Lindberg, executive general manager cards payments and retail strategy.
CommBank couldn't give a concrete time frame, only saying that Kaching for Facebook would be rolled out sometime before the end of 2012.

Courtesy Postings:
The dogs listed below are courtesy posts and are not in CCR's program. If you would like more information or to adopt them, please contact the individual listed with each dog (or cat!!).
Max – Max is an appx 9 month old lab/shar pei (?) mix. He loves his people, loves to snuggle and is always happy to see you. He is loving, smart, protective and very eager to please. That being said, we feel he would do best in a home with no young children. Although he has not shown aggression towards my 7 y/o (he is as eager to see her as anyone else), he does warn when he feels cornered by her and usually moves away when she comes close without an adult nearby. He just doesn't seem comfortable around her. He does resource guard, but is getting better with training. Max has learned for the most part that cats are not to be messed with, but will need further training here as well. He currently lives with 3 other dogs and really enjoys running and playing with them. As he is still a puppy, he benefits from crate time once or twice a day so he can nap. If you are interested in meeting Max, please contact Trish at 719-290-9312 (fastest method) or firstname.lastname@example.com
Jessi – She is an adult pit mix who weighs in at about 65 lbs and is approximately 2 and 4 years. She is a smart girl who loves toys and knows how to play fetch and is seemingly friendly with all animals. She especially loves playing with her best friend Rufus (see below). Extremely curious about cats and rabbits. She is a tad standoffish with then even other dogs however this maybe residual from her previous experience. She loves kiddos and treats are a new and exciting thing. She is spayed (and had a hernia fixed) and has received her rabies. And she is recovering in a kennel and goes potty only outside. She came from what the vet calls a "backyard breeders situation" especially since they think she had puppies about 10 weeks ago. Screening will include breed legality in the city of residence as well as landlord permission. If you are interested in Jessi please contact Elizabeth Schreffler 720-530-8458.
Rufus – He is an American Bulldog/boxer mix who is between 2 and 3 years old. He weighs in around 85lbs. He doesn't seem to have experience with other dogs and animals but is learning his manners quickly. He has no idea how big he is. He also is recovering from his neuter and shots in a kennel and we have not had any accidents indoors. Treats and car rides are new to him as well. He loves to lick little fingers. Rufus is also a good boy taking his pain meds even when I have to put my hand in his mouth. If you are interested in Rufus, please contact Elizabeth Schreffler 720-530-8458.
Bella is approximately 2 years old and is believed to be a lab/boxer mix. Sweet Bella has been in and out of shelters her entire life. She was a wild woman who seemed to take to the streets naturally until MHWR stepped in to help her. She quickly wins over hearts everywhere she goes as she is very affectionate and loving with people. She does well with other dogs and loves kids. Bella has good leash manners, but does have a history of getting bored when left alone outdoors and has been known to climb/jump fences. With this in mind, her current foster keeps her on a leash even when out in the yard at all times in order to keep her safe. She is a perfect angel when in a secure home INDOORS. She is crate trained however would love to be out and about with everyone else. She loves to snuggle on the couch and would sleep in your bed if you let her. While Bella certainly possesses some challenging behaviors with her jumping abilities, we know that she has plenty of love to give and her perfect family is out there somewhere! Like all young dogs, Bella will benefit from continued training, socialization, and daily exercise. If you are interested in meeting Bella, please contact Mile High Weimaraner Rescue at email@example.com

"CHANNING TATUM is about to make the transition from big star to huge star. If he does, he'll become that rarest of all things: an old-fashioned movie star in the age of reality TV."
So writes Rich Cohen in the new issue of Vanity Fair with Mr. Tatum on the cover. Essentially, it's a well-put-together puff piece to promote his two coming films, "White House Down" and "Foxcatcher." But that's fine -- La Publicite. Lots of lovely pictures of Channing, including an especially hot shot from 2001, when he was modeling, pants slung low.
• BUT FOR the nostalgia buff in me, I adored the Vanity Fair article by Peter Evans, the man who was to ghost-write Ava Gardner's autobiography. However, that book was never published, in part because Evans was being sued by Frank Sinatra (the author had the temerity to mention Sinatra's mob associations.) In time, the book was abandoned and Ava went on to work with another writer on "My Story."
In this VF excerpt from "Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations" writer Evans, who died last year, reveals a more candid Ava than she allowed in her published memoir. It's fun! Ava was some woman. Tragic, in many ways, but strong, too, with a clear view of herself. Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw and Frank Sinatra are openly discussed.
And I like this self-assessment from Ava: "You can sum up my life in a sentence, honey. She made movies, she made out, she made a fucking mess of her life. But she never made jam!"
And, of course, the article is packed with gorgeous photos of the woman about whom Elizabeth Taylor said--"Oh, please. Ava Gardner is much more beautiful than me."
• HERE'S SOME really good news! The most popular little luncheon in this old town has long been the one set up in the name of the late Henry Grunwald, onetime editor of Time magazine and wed to the popular girl-about-town, now grown up -- Louise Grunwald.
Back in the Dark Ages, when socialites roamed the East Side, afraid to go West, I even scooped the budding romance of Henry and Louise at the old Quilted Giraffe. They married soon after to escape my writing anything further about their private lives.
Lo, these several years, Henry, was lost to us but before he left, he wrote an amazing book called "Twilight," about how it felt to lose one's sight. This touched everybody and in his name was established a fund to benefit The Lighthouse, which Louise still hosts as one of the best, cleverest, funniest and most inspired gatherings in money-raising history. I have had the privilege to emcee the Grunwald lunch year after year at the Metropolitan Club.
So this year we are celebrating on October 1, a Tuesday, and you wouldn't want to miss it, for the honoree this year is none other than that fanciful and romantic former Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and general all-around social and fun-loving Henry Kissinger. I will see if I can think of something you don't know about Doctor Kissinger and we will sell a lot of tickets. He has always been a controversial international figure, a regular lightning rod of attraction.
You can get ready to reserve right now. Call Kelly Boyle at the Lighthouse at 212 821 9428.
• Our recent listing by Ellen Easton of all the famous restaurants, chains, stores, etc. that are missing from
New York City, caused lots of talk. Now reader Laurence Chrysler wants to add one - the Brussels!
I was at a dinner the other night with fashion's Tim Gunn, the voice of reason on "Project RunWay." We were talking about how sloppy people look these days (and I include myself as an offender). Here's Tim being derisive: "Leggings, leggings on men...
The tighter the better...in my opinion, leggings and skinny skinny pants look like underwear to me! I can't imagine a man going out on the street like that."
Here's Gina, a reader who remarks: "I long for the days when women and men groomed themselves and got dressed before going outdoors -- rubber flip flops, tattoos, underwear worn on the outside, bras worn as tops. And what's with the backwards baseball caps?"
