Marginal Consciousness and Complete Unconsciousness in Cats
The term stupor is used if an animal is unconscious but can be aroused with very strong external stimulus, whereas a patient that is in a coma will remain unconscious even if the same level of external stimulus is applied. Cats of any age, breed, or gender are susceptible to this condition.
Symptoms and Types
The symptoms are highly variable depending on the primary disease that has led to the loss of consciousness, whether it is temporary, as with stupor, or long lasting, as with coma.
The major symptom is varying levels of unconsciousness, with the degree of consciousness depending on the nature and severity of the underlying disease.
- Drugs which lead to loss of consciousness
- Abnormally low blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia)
- Abnormally high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia)
- Abnormally high levels of sodium in the blood (hypernatremia)
- Abnormally low levels of sodium in the blood (hyponatremia)
- Low blood pressure
- Kidney failure
- Primary brain disease
- Trauma, especially to the head and brain
- Infections (viral, bacterial, parasitic, fungal)
- Unknown cause (idiopathic)
- Immune-mediated (immune system overreacts or attacks the body)
- Chemical or drug toxicity
Both of these conditions are health emergencies and will require that you take your cat to a veterinarian immediately for treatment. You will need to give a thorough history of your cat's health including a background history of symptoms. After taking a detailed history, your veterinarian will conduct a complete physical examination on your cat. Laboratory tests will include a complete blood count (CBC), biochemistry profile, and urinalysis. There are a number of diseases/conditions that can lead to these symptoms and laboratory tests will show any abnormalities that could be related to an underlying disease.
For example, in case of lead toxicity, abnormal red blood cells will usually appear in the complete blood count tests. In cases with infection and inflammation, an increased number of white blood cells, cells that multiply in response to infection and trauma, will be seen.
The biochemistry profile may indicate lower or higher than normal values of glucose in the blood, higher than normal levels of sodium in blood, and accumulation in the blood of nitrogenous waste products (urea), which are usually excreted out of the body through the urine.
The urinalysis may indicate high levels of glucose in the urine, a common sign in diabetes mellitus; abnormally high levels of proteins that are normally not present in the urine, such as with immune-mediated diseases; and abnormal crystals in the urine, such as what is seen in the presence of liver disease or ethylene glycol toxicity.
If the cause is not so readily apparent, more specific testing may be required to diagnose the underlying disease. Infections are one of the most important risk factors for developing stupor or coma, especially in case s of untreated infections. Your veterinarian will test for various infections that are common in cats and that are known to cause serious symptoms like stupor or coma.
Bleeding inside the brain is also a possible cause of stupor or coma, and your veterinarian can order tests to measure the normal blood clotting mechanisms in your cat's system. Besides laboratory analyses and tests, visual diagnostics can also be used to great advantage. X-rays of the abdomen and chest can be used to confirm if there is a diseased condition present in these areas, or whether there have been resultant changes in the organs. Similarly, head X-rays can be used to evaluate whether an unknown injury has occurred, whether there is fracture, inflammation or any other injury that might be affecting the brain's ability to function normally.
Your doctor will need to determine which machine will give the clearest image of the head. In some cases, X-ray may not be enough, and a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be needed to diagnose the presence of hemorrhage, fracture, mass, accumulation of fluid, or a penetrating foreign body in the skull and/or brain. An electrocardiogram (ECG) may also be used to evaluate cardiac functions as cardiac diseases and abnormalities can also lead to stupor or coma.
The prediction of a disease's outcome in advance
Relating to a disease of unknown origin, which may or may not have arisen spontaneously
Anything that produces an action or reaction
The product of protein being metabolized; can be found in blood or urine.
An in-depth examination of the properties of urine; used to determine the presence or absence of illness
Low amounts of glucose in the blood
High levels of sodium in the blood
The collection of fluid in the tissue
A record of the activity of the myocardium
Extreme loss of blood
Elevated levels of glucose in the blood
blood pressure
The amount of pressure applied by the blood on the arteries.

text: Working on a game again, but this time going with a much higher level of detail on the sprites. Been working on a tileset for the past day but had a lot of trouble getting it to look right. I finally got a good one, but heres the attempts I made. This was the first one. it's alright but the grass was way too small for my liking, and the rocks were a bit off. Try #2 kept the rocks, but reiterated the grass. It's a bit better, but still off, especially in the detail department. I got mad at this so I decided to sleep on it. And for this morning, I went back in and nailed it first try. Whadda you know. But I'm happy with how this came out, it's a far prettier tileset than anything I've made previously with it's fun detail and expansive 10 colors. and just for laughs, here is 2 tilesets I made a long time ago. This mediocre one is from last year. It's not awful, but it could certainly be better. Some really boring color choices and symmetrical grass details make it look flat and boring. This one is from around Summer 2017. Do I even need to say anything about it. It's awful lmao

OK, let's talk about everybody's favorite topic… How much is this going to cost me?
Hourly rate = £95.
I have a minimum basic charge of one hour, any additional time is billed using the same hourly rate in half hour increments after the first hour.
Travel within Northern Ireland is £0.4 per mile when travelling outside of the Greater Belfast area..
Editing is included in the hourly rate as well. Other photographers can charge up to £50 per edited photo depending on the type of end imagery required.
I don't limit the amount of photos you can have, and I don't charge you per image edited either.
So in a nutshell, for one flat hourly rate you get everything included. All you need to check is how long you need me on site, the rest I will look after!
Here, there… and almost everywhere!
I don't just work in Northern Ireland. My work extends to Scotland, England, Wales, the Republic of Ireland and the EU mainland.
Of course there may be some specific details with regards to travel costs that we can discuss in advance by phone, email or over coffee.
I've laid the main costs out for you to see. I've been in this business for over 10 years and money is still the number 1 barrier. Lets talk about it up front from the word go. I want to build a value based relationship with you.

Fireflies in the Garden By Robert Frost 1874–1963 Here come real stars to fill the upper skies, And here on earth come emulating flies, That though they never equal stars in size, (And they were never really stars at heart) Achieve at times a very star-like start. Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.

Textbooks – and Their Publishers – Are Evolving
Textbooks as games? Textbooks that create a digital database of student progress? Or just text modules to mix and match? Michelle R. Davis, writing in Education Week, describes how the top three publishers are planning to bring their catalogs into the future.
School administrators and education officials have decided that investing in paper textbooks is no longer a wise use of budget money. Some teachers have shifted to using open-source or publicly available materials with, or even entirely replacing, textbooks. Digital licensing will not produce the same reliable sales as traditional textbook stockpiles; some states, like Florida, are mandating that textbook purchases shift over to digital formats that won't take up space or wear out. Additionally, curriculum standards are shifting:
In this atmosphere, big textbook publishers must change their strategies and they must do it quickly, educators say, to provide schools with the innovative digital material they're seeking. This flux is also occurring as districts in nearly all the states must consider their textbook needs in light of the Common Core State Standards in English/language arts and math.
Luyen Chou of Pearson Education says that his company has already invested in digital format, including a large stake in Nook, the digital reader offered by Barnes & Noble. They are beginning with a focus on the platform that delivers content.
The platform will be content-neutral so the digital curricula it will share with Pearson customers may not necessarily have been created by Pearson content specialists, and it may even be free. Chou says there's a new role for Pearson in curating and organizing electronic content and using its own experts to vouch for quality, particularly when it comes to open, or free, educational resources.
Additionally, Pearson is developing a Common Core curriculum for tablet computers, planned to come out in pilot form this year. "It will be born digital," says Chou. The curriculum may never be created in paper form; it may be impossible to capture it that way. Pearson plans to include game strategies, interactivity and student collaboration.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is taking a different approach: breaking content into smaller pieces. Bethlam Forsa, a company spokesman and VP, says that the key word is "modular." HMH aims also to adapt for student learning styles:
That means that if a student is more of a visual learner, he or she can access the curricular material in better ways through video or graphics. If gaming seems to resonate with a student, those techniques will be accessible. New digital content and products will track where a student is in his or her learning progression and be able to prescribe the next step, Forsa says.
Their World History is already available for iPad. It contains video, interactive diagrams and maps; the curriculum is also designed to work for collaboration between subject area teachers. Social Studies and English teachers can both use the material for assignments.
McGraw-Hill plans to focus on content development, noting that even if states are moving toward half digital, they are still using half, or far more than half, paper textbooks. Content developed to work with digital material can create "dashboards" for teachers to track student progress. McGraw-Hill acquired Key Curriculum to bring on board the knowledge for making materials not so much interactive with the student at the moment, but able to track and adapt to the student's learning speed. They also hope to use game strategies:
Games and simulations will also play a larger role in McGraw-Hill's digital content, building on the company's current iBook textbooks, which feature built-in assessment "probes" to track student progress and help teachers determine how a student should review or move forward through the curriculum. New products will also be able to track a student's time spent on tasks and have the ability to see how a student moves through the learning environment. The goal is to allow students to take a variety of paths through digital curricula based on their own learning styles.
Publishers will face a difficult market as content property becomes harder to guard and less important. News publishing is already facing this crisis, as consumers are used to getting news for free. As more learning material goes online, traditional textbook publishers will need to adapt their business model significantly to stay solvent.

1. Overture
Child Is Father to the Man is keyboard player/singer/arranger Al Kooper's finest work, an album on which he moves the folk-blues-rock amalgamation of the Blues Project into even wider pastures, taking in classical and jazz elements (including strings and horns), all without losing the pop essence that makes the hybrid work. This is one of the great albums of the eclectic post-Sgt. Pepper era of the late '60s, a time when you could borrow styles from Greenwich Village contemporary folk to San Francisco acid rock and mix them into what seemed to have the potential to become a new American musical form.
It's Kooper's bluesy songs, such as "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know" and "I Can't Quit Her," and his singing that are the primary focus, but the album is an aural delight; listen to the way the bass guitar interacts with the horns on "My Days Are Numbered" or the charming arrangement and Steve Katz's vocal on Tim Buckley's "Morning Glory." Then Kooper sings Harry Nilsson's "Without Her" over a delicate, jazzy backing with flügelhorn/alto saxophone interplay by Randy Brecker and Fred Lipsius. This is the sound of a group of virtuosos enjoying itself in the newly open possibilities of pop music. Maybe it couldn't have lasted; anyway, it didn't.
Impex's newly remastered Gold CD of this great work was made from the original master tapes (not a digital copy) to bring out all the warmth and magic of the sessions. Included are additional mono demos (which show just how well-rehearsed and spot-on the band was), an essay by Al Kooper, complete lyrics and production credits and new artwork just for this release.

Her little girl Lola is crazy for unicorns, so I couldn't wait to make this cake for her!! A double height 7″ round vanilla cake, covered with white chocolate ganache and buttercream for the mane.
I adored making this cake – here's hoping I get to make some more 😊🦄

I successfully set up Movie Sheet with my WDLXTV Live. Since I'm sure that the setup is similar with the WDTV G2, here is what I did (in n00b terms) to get it working:
- Download the WDLXTV custom firmware (THANKS B-RAD!!!)
- Format a thumb drive to FAT32
- Place the .bin and .ver files on the thumb drive
- Pull the power cable out of your WDTV unit
- Plug the thumb drive into the WDTV
- Insert the power cable into your WDTV unit
- Power on the WDTV
- When prompted, install the firmware update (the unit will reboot and install)
- After the unit has rebooted and installed the firmware, pull the power cable out of your WDTV unit
- Delete the contents of your thumb drive, and copy the S00 file onto it
- Open the S00 file and make the necessary changes to enable Movie Sheets:
- The lines of code with two hash marks "##" are simply comments to explain the code
- The lines of code with one hash mark "#" will be executed if you simply delete the hash mark . . . this is what allows customization
- I set up my unit so that it will display the movie thumbnails, and then a full-screen moviesheet when you click the thumbnail. You then press OK within the moviesheet to start the movie. If you would like a different setup, refer to b-rad's documentation.
- For my setup with clickable thumbnails, I removed the hash marks from the following lines of code (and I have added my own comments prefixed by "##"):
- Code: Select all
##The following option is necessary (read about it in the forums) . . . I had to type this in to the S00 file myself:
config_tool -c SHOW_FILESIZE_SETTING=0
##The following option allows me to have the thumbnail view, and then click the thumb for a full view of the movie sheet:
config_tool -c MSHEETMODE=std
##The following option allows movie sheets for videos:
config_tool -c VIDMSHEET=ON (this allows movie sheets for videos)
config_tool -c GENMSHEET=ON
config_tool -c LISTMSHEET=ON
##The following option ensures that the hard drive turns off when the WDTV is turned off:
config_tool -c USB_POWER_OFF=1
- Save the S00 file when you are done setting your options
- Place the thumbdrive in your WDTV unit
- Insert the power cable into your WDTV unit
- Power on the WDTV
- The unit will apply the settings in your S00 file. You won't receive a confirmation or anything, but when the USB light stops flashing, it is likely complete. You will not need to run the S00 file again unless you want to change the custom settings.
- Remove the thumb drive from your WDTV unit
- Modify the contents of your media-storing portable hard drive with the following file structure (hopefully this is the same with the WDTV G2!):
/movies/James Bond/movie.avi (this is the Movie File)
/movies/James Bond/movie.avi_sheet.jpg (this is the Movie Sheet jpg, which you can make with software such as tivixie or thumbgen)
/movies/James Bond/folder.jpg (this is the thumbnail for the movie)
- Connect the portable hard drive to your WDTV unit
- Enjoy!
Thanks b-rad for all of your hard work! You should offer your services to WD so that you can get paid huge $$$ to make their products more awesome!

If you missed it, yesterday was Blog Action Day. It was a day where over 15,000 blogs came together to write a post in their genre about the environment. Check out my post and Matt's at How I Will Be Rich if you haven't already. There were so many great insights brought upon by a range of bloggers. It sure was a great feeling to see so many people join together to share their thoughts on a topic that is so popular today. Today, just as Matt has done, I want to spotlight ten seven of my favorite healthy related blogs that caught my eye during Blog Action Day. Check 'em out…
- The first is at Zen Habits where there are 5 simple tips to making both yourself and Mother Earth happier. It's over at 5 Ways To Save the World, While Getting Fitter, Saving Money, Simplifying, and Becoming Happier.
- Diethack points out discusses how pollution and various toxins can change the way we eat. Read Panic in Your Plate: Infections and Intoxications and How To Prevent Them to learn every type of toxin that might be in your diet.
- At the blog, Raising A Healthy Family, there's a large list or various ideas and tools we can use to teach our youth the education they need about Earth in the future. It's all at Blog Action Day: Going Green With The Kids.
- Scott H Young points out some great methods to take to keep your life and the Earth's in balance. Check it out at Save the World and Improve Your Life At the Same Time.
- Remembering why we are trying the save our Earth sometimes becomes lost in all of the how-to's. See what Life Optimizer has to say in their post, Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Treat the Environment Well.
- Today Is That Day brings up a few really good points to think about that I haven't read anywhere else. The article, 3 Simple Ways to Get Healthy While Saving the Environment, will get your mind thinking about those plastic bottles…
- Reducing the use of motor vehicles is a simple method to help the environment and yourself. Bicycle Frenzy raises concerns and shows the importance of using a bicycle whenever possible in the post, Change The World, Ride A Bike.
Surprisingly it was very difficult to find some good posts about the environment and health. I thought blogs like that would be all over the place, but I guess it just isn't as popular as all the topics of recycling and reusing, which of course are very important as well. I think this list of seven holds up to my normal weekly ten hot links.
Be sure to leave some feedback for all the writers out there!

Young adults dealing with hearing loss have had many challenges as they come to an age of maturity. As "[h]earing or not hearing is not a superficial difference" (ww.alldeaf.com), many people may not realize the trauma associated with living with a hearing family, going to school, and looking for a job. A hearing loss is considered to be a challenge throughout one's life.
It's always good to accomplish a healthy relationship with your family. However being part of a family, who are all hearing, is difficult for a hard of hearing (HOH) persons. In brief, HOH persons always become dependent on family members though they would rather be independent. By asking for all this extra support, they can offend other family members. For example, their hearing siblings may become jealous of them, because they need the extra help and guidance. Most hearing siblings tend to stick together, while an HOH person is left out most of the time. When they get older, they connect better with the family and become more independent. If they are lucky enough to be a part of a loving family, their parents and siblings are proud of them and their many accomplishments.
Education is a necessity in a HOH person's life. Their education starts with elementary and continues through to post-secondary. In elementary school, an HOH person is a very shy and quiet. Yet when they make friends they feel safe and come out of their shell. When junior and senior high school begins that's when their self-esteem can hit rock bottom. When a non HOH teen looks at someone who is different from them they tend to tease and bully that person. When this happens the HOH person feels non-special and powerless. An example of this is when they have school projects they have to work in a group. A HOH person prefers to work by themselves as a hearing person doesn't like working with a HOH person. This behaviour may continue to the end of the high school years which makes it very difficult for a HOH person to contribute to and be a part of group projects. After graduation post-secondary starts and unless they remain committed and have not become jaded by their years of education they enter a new phase in their learning. Many HOH persons may take a year off as they are feeling anxious about entering a learning environment. What the HOH person doesn't realize is that in post-secondary a non HOH person is generally more considerate and understanding to a HOH person, as they have matured and are more accepting of others. Another benefit for the HOH person in post-secondary education is the amount of services provided on campus.
In order to obtain a good education to further their careers the HOH person must be financially secure. The HOH person experiences discrimination in their efforts to find gainful employment. To find a job an HOH person must go through certain stages. The first stage is talking to an employment counsellor or for special help a disability counsellor. This counsellor will help them to decide what kind of occupation they are looking for and will offer excellent advice. Stage two is checking out the resources available (ex…newspapers, phone books) this also includes networking. Networking is one of the best resources. The third stage is looking for a job. This requires a lot of preparation and patience. The HOH person experiences discrimination by an employer because they are hearing impaired. Discrimination means "unfavourable treatment based on racial, sexual, or prejudice" (The Oxford Dictionary). As soon a HOH person tells people that they have a hearing loss immediately they are looked upon as being stupid and are no longer paid attention to. No matter how much they are discriminated upon they shouldn't give up finding a job. There are really cruel and nasty employers, but there are also caring and kind employers. The main factor in looking for a job is to keep trying and never give up no matter how difficult it is.
In conclusion, there is really no difference between a non HOH and HOH person. They are all smart, gifted and talented in different ways. They have to accept themselves for who they are. There were many different topics chosen for this article including family, education and employment. In each of these areas, there is a challenge for each and every one of us who are hearing impaired. It's a challenge being HOH, but we are strong and brave, therefore we never quit.

Week 1 – Welcome back everyone. Hope you all enjoyed your summer.
For those without a school garden who would like to know how to get started please read: How to Start and Maintain a School Garden.
For those returning to an existing garden there is much to do. Preparing the beds for seed sowing is probably the hardest job physically we will have all year. Organizing a garden day with other parents, teachers, students or volunteers is something you might want to consider.
The following 10 School Garden Activities for September should be done (more or less) in order:
1) First and foremost discuss garden rules and tool safety. For those unfamiliar with garden rules these are the basics: a) No running in the garden; b) No walking in the beds; c) No running with tools; d) Do not carry or swing tools on your back; e) Do not bring hands tools over your shoulder; f) Walk with the tool by your side, blade down; g) Return all tools to their proper place immediately after use; h) Do not leave tools in the garden; i) Anyone not following these rules does not get to work in the garden.
2) Search for dried flower heads and seed pods in which to save seed (i.e. cosmos, sunflowers, marigolds, lettuce, cilantro, beans, etc).
3) Clear beds of everything other than perennials (i.e. herbs and strawberries).
4) Collect all organic refuse and compost it. For more information on composting see: Compost page at Wikipedia, the Compost Guide from compostguide.com, and the Guide to Home Composting from the Los Angeles Department of Public Works.
5) Add amendments (i.e. organic compost, aged manure) to existing soil, mix well and turn soil (top to bottom, bottom to top).
6) Review Vegetable Family Chart. At this time of year we will be planting cool-weather crops. As you will see there's actually more to choose from now than there is in the spring.
7) Read seed packets for specific information regarding height and row spacing. (Taller plants go in the rear so as not to cast shadows on smaller plants.)
8) Plan and design garden space.
9) Lay out rows. (Ideally, rows should be perpendicular to the arc of the sun.)
10) Sow seeds and/or transplant seedlings.

I'm a big fan of, and was a (very) early adopter of, GPS, but when you're actually out on the road and the iPad's dead or your iPhone can't get a signal, or there's no WiFi within a hundred miles, or your GPS isn't working, a good paper backup can be really useful.
There are hundreds of different maps of California for all different purposes; the ones mentioned below are those that I've found useful for driving:
- The AAA Road Atlas of the US, Canada and Mexico — much more than just California, of course, but indispensable for long-distance driving in the US and for short forays into Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon. You can usually find this in any good bookstore in California.
- The Thomas Bros Maps "California Road Atlas & Driver's Guide", a book-sized mixture of street maps and larger area maps. I find this (and its close siblings from Thomas Bros) indispensable for general driving (it's always in my car), especially when driving through places like Fresno, etc.
- The Thomas Bros guides to Los Angeles and Orange County. Absolutely essential if you're driving to or through the Southlands — the L.A. area is far too large to be usefully covered by any single map….
- Similarly, the Thomas Bros Metropolitan Bay Area Guide covers pretty much every place you'll want to drive to in the San Francisco Bay Area.
- The CSAA (California AAA) city maps for the larger cities and towns — the CSAA has a good selection of maps for cities and towns. These contain complete street maps for the relevant cities and towns, and fold down to a convenient size.
- The CSAA area and recreation maps — these contain larger-scale information for entire areas (e.g. The Bay and River Area), or the state as a whole; only the main routes are marked. The recreation maps contain good information on where to do what.
- The DeLorme Northern and Southern California Atlas and Gazetteers — these two volumes are indispensable for detailed topographical information, covering the state with a series of small-scale (1:150,000) maps in a handy book format. All maps have complete contour, road, track, river / creek, etc. information, and can be used for off-road exploration. Almost as good as having the complete set of US topographicals (but cheaper and more convenient for driving).
All the AAA and CSAA maps and guides are available from CSAA and ACSC offices throughout the state, as well as several of the better bookstores. Particularly recommended map and guide bookstores in the Bay Area areREI (Berkeley, Concord, San Carlos, and San Jose), the CSAA offices on University Avenue in Berkeley, and the US Government Geological Survey (USGS) map store in Menlo Park.

In 1958, when this picture was taken, my mother, Myrtle Paul (left), and her friend, Ann Hall, were called Attendants. They were two of the frontline caretakers of the mentally ill at Fulton State Hospital. My mother took months of classes to learn the responsibilities and skills required for her job. She brought home notebooks full of medical terminology and anatomy, memorized names and doses of countless medications, and practiced giving injections.
She told me it was the on-the-job-training, not the classes, that taught her how to talk a patient down to defuse a dangerous situation. And how to take him down when talking didn't work.
This picture was taken on a sunny day near the old South Wards. Notice the narrow bars in the windows.
I've heard the new title is "Technician" instead of Aide. Whatever the name, these are the people who make the biggest difference in the day-to-day life of the severely mentally ill.

Union Pacific Thanks Employees, Public Officials and Partners for Help with Recovery from Sacramento Trestle Fire
UP Reward Fund for Arrest in Connection with Fire Rises to $10,000
Omaha, Neb., March 21, 2007 With the help of public and private partners, work is under way to restore bridge service to the area affected by last Thursday's train trestle fire near Sacramento. Union Pacific employees, State of California officials and private contractors are working around the clock to replace the trestle that spans the approach to the American River.
The entire double track railroad trestle was destroyed by the fire – the cause of which is still under investigation. Union Pacific has established a $10,000 reward fund for information leading to an arrest in connection with the fire, and railroad officials are working closely with local investigators. The trestle is a vital lifeline to the Sacramento and California economies, and immediate replacement is necessary to resume normal passenger and freight operations in the region.
"We would not have been able to respond as quickly as we have without the help of our critical public and private partners, and the dedication of our employees," said Tom Jacobi, regional vice president of Union Pacific's western region. "The railroad would publicly like to thank first responders, our community neighbors, government officials and our employees for their cooperation during this endeavor. We were extremely relieved to learn no one was injured in connection with the fire, and we are employing all means possible to replace the trestle as safely and efficiently as possible."
Union Pacific expresses its appreciation to:
- First Responders
- Sacramento Fire Department
- Sacramento Police Department
- Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District
- West Sacramento Fire Department
- Sacramento Regional Fire/EMS Communications Center
- California Highway Patrol
- California Governor's Office of Emergency Services
- The Cosumnes River Community Services District
- Sacramento County Parks
- Sacramento Fire Department
- Other State and County Agencies
- Office of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
- California State Fish and Game
- California EPA
- California Department of Water Resources
- California Department of Transportation
- California Public Utilities Commission
- Sacramento County Public Health Department
- Sacramento Air Quality Management District
- Residents of the Woodlake Neighborhood Association
- Residents and businesses close to the site who may be inconvenienced by construction of the new trestle
- Amtrak and Capitol Corridor and their passengers
- Union Pacific Employees. Special thanks to operating, engineering and Maintenance of Way employees for their dedication and hard work.

Get Ready Start Today
Learn if you might be able to access the NDIS. Complete the access checklist (provide link to this). Your first meeting might be only months away, it's best to be prepared early.
Think Big
Think about your life now. What are your current supports, funded or informal? What is working and what might need to change? Don't worry about barriers you might have run into in the past – the NDIS is a new way of looking at it. Learn about reasonable and necessary supports. There's no limit to the number of goals you can have in your plan.
Write a list or keep a diary
Identify your strengths, interests, challenges you face that make your life harder than it could be and consider your short term and long term goals or what you might like to achieve. Read about the types of services and supports the NDIS can provide. Write these things down and collect any previous reports, assessments or information you might like to provide when the NDIS is made available to you.
Create your NDIS Plan
Your plan is the start of a lifelong relationship with NDIS, but you don't have to get it right straight away. It can be easier to start with the supports you already have, take some time to adjust and think about how your needs/goals might change over time. Try to be as specific as you can about what you need and what you want, what your goals are and how you want to live.
Learn the language – check out the NDIS glossary. Try and gather as much information as you can in advance Your plan won't be developed without YOU. An NDIS representative will talk you through it either over the phone or in a face-to-face meeting. Feel free to take someone with you – you don't have to go through this process alone. Once your plan is developed, you can manage it yourself or get assistance from an organisation like CEADA.
Choose your Supports
You can choose which providers you want to deliver your supports and they aren't just limited to what is typical for someone with a particular disability – Make it work for you. In choosing a support provider consider: Who is local to you? Does the provider meet your needs? Will the provider support your rights as an individual? Can the provider offer the flexibility that fits your life? What skills and experience do the staff have? Does the provider charge a fair price? What evidence is available of the quality of support provided? The NDIS publishes a price guide used to calculate the amount of money you receive for supports based on your plan. Remember that your plan is not a one off – If, or when, your needs change so can your plan change. Visit the NDIS website for more comprehensive information about your NDIS Pathway.

I have been wanting to learn how to sew forever, and yesterday I finally
learned pretended to know what I was doing. I headed over to my parents for a sewing lesson from my mom. It was pretty much the blind leading the blind while we set up the machine, but at least she knew the bobbin from the foot. Eventually, we figured it out and made these fabulous pillow covers.
These pillow covers were the first step in decorating our basement. I decided before we bought our house that I wanted a grey, blue, and yellow basement. I saw this fabric online, purchased it months ago, and it has been sitting in a closet ever since (yes, i even procrastinate on projects). Well, today I pulled the fabric out and decided to make something of it. Our basement pillows went from DRAB to FAB in just a few easy steps!
I am telling you, these are so easy! If I can make them and learn to sew on the same day, you can definitely make them! So grab your sewing machine and get some old pillows and fabric. You will not be sorry you made these!
what you'll need:
fabric, old pillows, sewing machine
FIRST: Make the front cover. Measure your pillow and cut it out based on the exact width and length.
SECOND: Make your two back flaps. Take the length of your pillow and add one inch, then divide in half. Finally, add 3 inches to each flap for overlap. The height will be the same as in step 1.
example: my pillow measured 22inx22in. For the length, I used the original length (22in.), divided by 2 (11in), and added 3 inches(14in). My two back flaps measured 14in x 22in.
THIRD: Sew a seam on one longer side of each back flap. I folded the seam twice to create a smooth seam and found it easiest to iron the seam flat before folding.
FOURTH: Pin the back panels and front panel together so the pillow cover looks inside out (all fabric facing inward). Then, sew all four edges of the pillow cover.
FIFTH: Flip the fabric right side out and insert your pillow. Admire for hours and enjoy!
Here is what the new pillow covers look like in our basement. While they don't get match the couch, it is a step in the right color scheme direction!
Since these were such a success, I can't wait to cover all my old drab pillows with fun new fabrics. The best part... I can make pillows that match my holiday decor as well!
Has anyone made holiday pillow covers before or is that going a bit too far?
Who is going to try this now?

Lake Macquarie, City of
Councils Free household chemicals "Clean out"
Media release
It's time for your free household chemicals "CleanOut"
It's that time of year, when Lake Macquarie residents get to clean out the garage, garden shed, pool shed and laundry cupboard to dispose of unwanted chemical waste.
Lake Macquarie City Council is holding its annual Household Chemical CleanOut at the Teralba Worm Farm from 9am to 3.30pm on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May.
Council's Manager Sustainability, Alice Howe, said the free waste drop off events are popular with residents who want to remove sensitive materials and they have the added benefit of keeping toxins out of landfill.
"The Chemical CleanOut allows residents to dispose of many household waste items that are hazardous and can't be disposed of through our traditional waste collections," Dr Howe said.
"Some of these items include paints, pesticides, poisons, fire extinguishers, batteries, cleaning fluids, fuel, oils, solvents, acids, alkalis, pool chemicals, gas cylinders and fluorescent globes.
"These materials can not go in household bins because they harm the environment if they end up in landfill. They must be disposed of properly."
The CleanOut is jointly funded by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage and Lake Macquarie City Council. The service is for households. No commercial quantities will be accepted.
For more information, call the Environment Line on 131 555 or visit www.cleanout.com.au.
Chemical CleanOut
When: Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May 2013
Time: 9am – 3.30pm
Where: Teralba Worm Farm, Griffen Road, Teralba

Saddleback Ski Trails: 1.7 miles / Appalachian Trail: 3.4 miles / Saddleback Ski Trails: 1.7 miles
Total Miles: 6.8 miles (3,232 feet elevation gained)
Trip Report:
- In October of 2011 I finished the Adirondack 46er list. At that time I had only a handful of hikes left to complete the Northeast 111 list, which is actually 115 mountains when Galehead, Bondcliff, Spaulding, and Redington were added to it awhile ago.
- On Monday, Whitney and I headed to Saddleback Ski Area for a quick hike up the ski trails to the summit of Saddleback Mountain then north over to The Horn. The weather forecast which called for abundant sunshine was completely wrong as everything above 3,800 feet was blanketed in thick clouds.
- The hike up the the ski trails (Grey Ghost, Tri-Color) was different than most as there was a cleared out narrow dirt path that snaked up the slopes, so it felt more like a hiking trail than a grassy filled ski slope. I'm actually a big fan of hiking and running ski trails as there are great open views from the slopes and usually the grade is steep so the hike up to the summit is shorter mileage wise while packing quite a punch to your calve muscles.
- As we gained elevation the wind ramped up to around 30 mph and we headed into the clouds as we hooked onto the Appalachian Trail completely exposed to the wind. We didn't stay long at Saddleback's summit because of the wind and no views, which was a let down because there are great views when there are no clouds.
- When I asked Whitney her advice on which Mountain to finish on she suggested The Horn because she compared the hike between Saddleback and The Horn to the hike between Bond and Bondcliff. She was spot on, and as luck would have it the clouds miraculously lifted off shortly after we began our descent from Saddleback. It was a great ridge walk to finish up the 111 list, and I was pretty thrilled that I ended up getting views after everything was socked in.
- I stood on top of The Horn on August 31st, twenty-seven years to the day that I stood on Mount Washington, my first 4,000 foot peak (1988 when I was nine years old), funny how things work out like that!
- Looking back it was a fun journey completing the list. The most vivid memories that will always stay with me is the first time I popped out above treeline below Bondcliff, hiking along the Knife Edge when I was a kid on what I consider the 'Cathedral' of the northeast, Mount Katahdin, and last bu not least the dramatic views from the Adirondacks, whose 46 high peaks I climbed in 2011.
- I've been really lucky to be able to experience these mountain ranges in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine over the past few decades. Not many people get to experience it the way I have, I'm very thankful and fortunate to have been able to. :)

Basically you have two choices with school sport fundraisers: direct sales, and brochure sales. The way direct sale
school sport fundraisers work is more straightforward, but it also requires some investment on your part. The great thing is, once you have put the investment in, all the money from your school sport fundraisers is yours to keep. This is a big draw for a lot of people, as you don't want to have to give up any of the money you bring in from your school sport fundraisers. If you choose something like scratch cards or chocolate bars, you'll have a school sport fundraiser that you don't have to worry about settling up for later.
If your budget is a problem, you can go with one of our brochure sales school sport fundraisers. With brochure sales you don't have to give any down payment at all - simply order your fundraiser, and we'll send you all the brochures and order forms you need to get started. These kinds of school sport fundraisers work really well if you're concerned about putting down money upfront, and don't mind organizing the order forms and money. It just depends on what your groups circumstances

Reduced cancellation risk for new orders, per COVID‑19. See terms per RV.
Our ICELAND RV RENTAL REVIEWS average 4.8 stars out of 5, based on 84 IdeaMerge Iceland motorhome rental customer reviews.
RV rental Iceland! We IdeaMerge use our buying power to offer you big savings versus booking direct. Moreover we facilitate the whole RV rental booking process, presenting a single total cost you can count on — and acting for you as a super responsive customer support resource. We give you peace of mind.
Book your Iceland RV rental early to secure availability and best price. Wise clients book their Iceland motorhome hire or 4x4 campervan hire holiday many, many months in advance. In fact, we recommend you book your Iceland motorhome rental as much as a year ahead of time.
ICELAND MOTORHOME RENTAL SPECIALS: If you place your Iceland RV rental booking request with IdeaMerge online, our software will apply any relevant specials from the Iceland motorhome rental vendor as well as our own IdeaMerge QUANTUM online discount.
Iceland is otherworldly. Black sand beaches, parti-colored volcanoes, myriad magnificent waterfalls, lagoon-like hotsprings, mystical Tolkien-esque valleys, world-class trekking, and oh those super-long summer days — with sunsets (if at all!) occuring around 11 pm (perfect for camping).
Atlantic puffins stubble the basalt cliffs. Icelandic horses charge in unison across the viridescent fields. Sheep dot the mountainsides.
There's whale watching, sailing, fishing, golfing. And there's horseback riding on the charmingly antique, uniquely five-gaited Icelandic horse.
What's more, high above, nearly 200 nights a year, the Aurora Borealis perform their fascinating dance.
In these and further respects — including an abundance of holiday parks and caravan and camping sites that welcome motorhomes, camper vans and RVs — Iceland lends itself to outstanding RV travel. And there are an abundance of rugged and beautiful "F" roads for 4x4 RV hire adventure in the Highlands!
And relative to the high prices at local hotels and restaurants (especially in Reykjavik), motorhome or camper van rental tours of Iceland are great value.
You will pick-up and return your rental RV just minutes from Reykjavik's Keflavik airport. The aptly named Route 1 — the famous "Ring Road" will take you around the whole of Iceland in just under 1400 kilometers, putting a high percentage of Iceland's myriad wonders right on your RV doorstep.
IdeaMerge: Free Your Travel
Many factors determine the cost of a motorhome or campervan rental in Iceland. The factors affecting the RV rental cost include RV size, rental rate seasonality (or whether the rates are so-called flex rates instead re-determined daily or weekly based on supply and demand), and the optional extras you select (many and varied).
For exact total costs, submit a Search above. Our online order software will then present to you all the RVs, whether motorhome, camper van or truck camper, ordered by total price.
If you then click on the "More Info" button below a vehicle image, the software will present the following info specific to the RV and dates:
Many optional items are available for hire with an RV rental, and these greatly affect the total cost. The optional items (e.g. camping table and chairs, bedding, shuttle transfer) are presented during our online order process, along with selectable pick-up and return times.
In many cases the RV rental company offers an inclusive package that bundles together a set of optional extras for one relatively low price. Again, don't worry about those packages. Just select à la carte the options you want and our software will apply an inclusive package if such is available and if such package indeed gives you a lower price than actually paying for the options à la carte.
Similarly, RV rental companies often offer specials that involve optional extras. Such specials can be complicated and hard for customers to understand. Again, our software is carefully programmed and maintained to automatically apply any specials that benefit you.
We think our software is unique in terms helping our customers optimize their RV rental and minimize their costs in these important respects. Our aim is to provide you with the best value and to increase our sales as a result.

"Falling Waters Series" by Gary D. Henry
#AromasAuthors #GaryDHenry @GaryDHenry
"Falling Waters" Second Edition Book # 1
Preston Rhodes was an extraordinary writer. However his actress wife, Carly, didn't want him to over-shadow her talents so she set out to squash every opportunity that came his way. His father died and left Preston an extraordinary gift. It was his memoirs and Preston immediately saw that the book was literary genius. He set out to write a script and it was immediately touted as the next Gone With the Wind. He set out to sell the movie around the country until an errant bullet to his head sent him to a magical town where all the old Hollywood actors dwelled long after their starlight had been extinguished.
Falling Waters was the town where spirits thrived and he was sure it was real. He was accepted and spent a lifetime amid the old stars of Hollywood. He met and interacted with all the greats. When he came out of his coma he tried to convince everyone that the town existed but nothing he could do would convince his friends.
That is until they understood that miracles do happen.
"Falling Waters" Prisms Book # 2
This is the continuing story of Falling Waters. Newly departed Preston Rhodes rules over Falling Waters, the benevolent town made up of recently and long deceased actors from the golden age of movie-making. Once the thespians make contact with Preston, one of their senses were returned to them. The sense of touch returned to them and they rejoiced because they were able to feel again and they all thought that it is their first step back to life. The famous actors and actresses can change their ages instantly to perform movies that made them famous on the stage in an amphitheater in the center of town. Some actors stay in Falling Waters and perform regular jobs to make them feel more alive. Other spirits return to wherever they find utopia exists. Jack and Jill Tilson return as Preston's best friends. Rick is released from jail early through manipulation and Carly unimaginably returns to him as his wife because of his perceived transformation for the better.
However, Rick had not forgotten his evil ways nor his dislike for Preston Rhodes and Jack Tilson and puts events in play to take over the four unbelievable films the town of Falling Waters made for Preston who then left them to Jack upon his death. Rick succeeded to getting the billion-dollar films but was not satisfied. Through a mistake, Rick and Carly, who reverted back to her treacherous past, found out that Carly's daughter's trust fund held the deed to the land on which Falling Waters existed. Rick had never visited Falling Waters and did not believe Carly that the town was real. Preston needed Jack to get the deed back or else the town could not exist if the ground where it sat was disturbed in any way. Preston did what he could in his world and Jack did what he could in his to save the spiritual town. The eternal fate of countless actors depend on Jack and Preston getting the deed back and preserve the land for generations to come.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🌮 🍸🎉

One Haymarket Report Due Today?
Rumor has it that Lincoln will release an EPA report on ground pollution in the Haymarket this morning at 10:00am. I'm not sure what percentage of the area this report will represent, but something is better than nothing. Look for more info later today.
UPDATE: The City has put out a press release. There's nothing new to report about contamination on the BNSF property. That's a good thing since the BNSF property is the largest of the seven relevant chunks of land. But there remain six chunks that haven't been studied in this detail.

I have a number of vintage military rucksacks, but I was hesitant to break them out for field use, and I was really interested in something that was new made, very rugged, and yet kept that "old-shcool" style and charm. After a ton of research on line, and reading a ton of reviews and narratives, I finally settled on the Frost River, Ilse Royal Jr. Bushcraft Pack.
Frost River Ilse Royal Bushcraft Pack
I was very impressed with the company's philosophy and dedication to 100% made in the USA products. When I say 100%, I mean just that........... The Frost River Story and Philosophy
US made oilskin canvas made by Martexin
US tanned leather from SB Foot Tannery, the makers of the leather for Red Wing Boots
Hand riveted and hand sewn by US workers in the Frost River workshop
100% solid brass hardware and rivets
These packs are new-made to old shchool patterns and levels of quality that you just don't find in many companies these days. The pack patterns are the tried and true styles that were refined in the fields and forests of America over 100 years ago. A few refinements were made, but all-in-all, these packs are the same as their frontier ancestors! They are "lifetime quality" and I expect to use this pack for the rest of my life and then pass it on to the next generation............ they are built to last, and last, and last, and are very repairable, just like the old packs. In fact these packs are usually, "made to order". When I ordered my pack, I was told that there would be a 2 to 3 week lead time before shipping so the pack could be made! Someone actually held my order in hand, and then proceeded to cut and assemble the raw materials into MY pack! Very cool!
With all of that said, I did have one disappointment when I received my pack. When I first pulled the pack out of the package, I immediately knew I was holding my "dream pack". When I looked a bit closer, the first thing that I noticed was that the non-load bearing rivets looked great on the exterior side, but on the backside, they were sharp and "cheaply" mushroomed over "tube rivets". The heads and shafts were sold brass, but the back portion was a hollow tube. These are what are called "semi-tubular rivets".
I believe that this type of semi-tubular rivet is meant to be set with a special punch that rolls and mushrooms the tubular end into a smooth, circular, "eyelet" type backing that works as the "mushroom" back. These are not meant to split and tear out when they are installed!
For a few cents per rivet more, and probably for the same amount of assembly time, the job could have been done right.......... and that is exactly what I did for them.
|The rivets on the left are my "replacement rivets", the right-hand rivets are the Frost River "load bearing" rivets.
I drilled out and removed all of the "mushroomed and split" rivets and replaced them with my own solid aluminum tinners rivets with brass washers.
It took about half an hour to do the full job, and it was infinitely worth it! Now the pack looks the way it should and is a "lifetime pack". This is one improvement I would recommend to any new Frost River pack owner. I have been a long time owner and user of Filson products, and you would never expect to see, and I have never seen, this cheap riveting on their packs! Frost River really dropped the ball on this area! I am glad I had the rivets and the skill to make the rivet upgrade myself.
I will give them credit for the load bearing rivets. These babies are beasts! Big, heavy and solid. Installed correctly and meant to last more than a lifetime! This is what I expected on ALL of the riveted areas!
I also constructed an internal bucket to give the pack some rigidity and shape when hauling loose loads. This is very reminiscent of the old pack baskets. I used a plastic office trash can, and cut it down to fit. As you can see from the shape, I made it with a long back, and a lower bucket-shelf.
I sanded and rounded all of the sharp edges with sandpaper and then added a piece of solid cell camp-pad foam to the back. The foam is attached with Velcro so it can be removed easily and will not slip when the unit is installed in the pack. I used the super-sticky, peel-n-stick Velcro strips. I used a heat gun to soften and reshape the lower portion of the bucket so it better fits the shape of my lower back.
I also added a vintage Mosin Nagant ammo pouch to the upper side side cinch strap. This works perfectly to hold my head lamp in one side, and my car keys in the other. These old pouches are made of "pleather" which makes them very weather resistant and nearly waterproof, and they match the pack style and colors! I have a second pouch that can be added to other side as well, if needed.
One very cool feature on these packs is the "axe tube" that lets you carry your hatchet or axe easily. When the axe is slid into the tube, it is held securely by the pack flap that will cover it. Here it is with my restored 1950's Boy Scout Axe (more on that in another blog posting!).
I purchased two of the bedroll straps from Frost River when I ordered the pack so I would have at least one set of matching leather straps for the bottom of the pack. These are definitely "bedroll straps" long enough for a blanket roll, or my rolled zeltbahn tent, but not long enough for a sleeping bag. (also had to replace the rivets on these straps!).
|The Frost River straps are in the foreground, not installed.
An now to finish things up, here is an album of Frost River Ilse Royal Jr. shots....... enjoy!
|Padded shoulder straps. Closed cell foam glued to the harness leather and covered in elk skin!

On 29 February, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sibelius was on the Hill testifying as to why the Affordable Care Act is not the cause of the decline in employer provided health insurance. When asked about the decline in employer provided health insurance coverage, the Secretary replied:*
"Well again, Congressman, what you're seeing… It wouldn't have mattered if we had passed the Affordable Care Act or not. The private market is in a death spiral."
In health insurance parlance, a "death spiral" is:
"The health insurance death spiral occurs when individuals with higher health expenses are driven by market forces towards one particular plan. The higher costs associated with individuals who have pre-existing health conditions cause premiums and out-of-pocket costs to escalate, which drives healthier individuals out of the plan, because the cost becomes too high for the small amount of need they anticipate. This causes premiums and out-of-pocket costs escalate further because there aren't as many healthy individuals left to absorb the risk, so even more healthy people leave the plan, and prices climb even higher. This cycle continues spiraling on and on until prices are so high that the coverage is unaffordable.".(source)
This describes Obamacare. Of course the private market is dying. That's the idea. It always was.
It is something of a cliche to quote the most well known of Yeats, but when I read the word death spiral could not but hep think of the falcon's gyre in "The Second Coming."
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world
This administration's attack on the insurance market is only one instance of the anarchy they have loosed Obama promised fundamental change. This is one promise he has kept.
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
he ceremony of innocence is drowned;
Marx and Engels condemned the bourgeoisie in that " It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his "natural superiors." That of course was what led to the great advances in human prosperity and freedom. The modern Left wishes to sunder the ties of law and civic responsibility that have made Western Civilization so successful, and reestablish those feudal ties to our natural superiors, the governing class. The sundering of of ancient ties to our freedoms has been accomplished without the blood once foretold by the likes of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, but that "ceremony of innocence," our confident sense of self, the optimism and energy that so entranced deTocqueville, are indeed drowning.. And thus we turn to government, even for something so basic as deciding who will care for our bodies, and how this should be done.
And those who should be guarding our institutions, seem helpless, lost, or worse, indifferent, while the new vanguard advances heedless to all objection
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
There is no question as to the "passionate Intensity" of this administration in pursuing its goals. Indeed, the death spiral Ms Sibelius cites is an unintended metaphor for what may be yet to come, as she testified on March 2nd:
Sebelius told a House panel Thursday that a reduction in the number of human beings born in the United States will compensate employers and insurers for the cost of complying with the new HHS mandate that will require all health-care plans to cover sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives, including those that cause abortions.
"The reduction in the number of pregnancies compensates for the cost of contraception," Sebelius said. She went on to say the estimated cost is "down not up."
On the less weighty side of things, Ms Sibleius' comment is typical of the kind of flip accounting gimmicks that are thrown up by all sides in political discourse. In the longer view, it is deeply troubling. The Secretary is then perhaps unaware unaware of the demographic death spiral in the old cultures of Europe, where the birthrates for native Europeans – and yes, that means whites – have long since fallen below replacement.
Or perhaps she is, and subscribes to the notion that the shortfall in human beings can be replaced with industrious immigrants. One need only look to Britain where population has increased due to immigration from countries with a much lower level of economic, and human development, resulting in vast welfare dependency, defiant and resistant enclaves committed to Islamic rule, and a government that submits to the demands of the invaders for whom it threw open the gates. Such a society most certainly "lacks all confidence."
In the U.S., births were at replacement rate as recently as 2007, after thirty- five years below that rate, 2.2 live births per woman, necessary to maintain a population, but has since dropped again.
"The rule which we intend to promulgate in the near future around implementation will require insurance companies, not a religious employer, but the insurance company to provide coverage for contraceptives," Sibelius told the subcommittee.
The key word is "promulgate". It smacks of the arrogance of imperium. The praetors of the left know best. What we have here is a whiff of the totalitarian population control fantasies of the 1970s, a leading exponent of which was John Holden, Obama's "Science Czar." He has since tepidly disavowed these views( rather recently, in fact, when they came to view), but the lesson is that he was wrong then, yet this administration is once again looking to population control, and, one could say, the eugenics of Margaret Sanger, when one considers African -American abortion rates, to manage a perceived problem.
The lLft simply doesn't like people, other than those who form their self anointed elects( and not always then, as the history of leftist purges demonstrates) The communist regimes of Europe and Asia spoke of their love of the masses, then slaughtered them. The soft totalitarianism of the modern left will keep them from being born.
Coda: Finally, in a story that has hardly blazed across the airwaves, The estimated ten year cost of affordable Care, according to the CBO has doubled and the impact on employer provided coverage far more severe than anticipated. Isn't it always so?
*On these posts, it is my habit to use only "mainstream media" as sources. I am often alerted to stories by "right wing blogs," but as I hope, in my small way, to perhaps , one at a time, convince the unconvinced, I research the stories in the traditional media which, quite undeservedly, retain a reputation for accuracy and even handedness.Yet, I was unable to find any reference on to Ms Sibelius' testimony in the alphabet services. It's real – you can see the video here.

"Well, the Alfredo sauce was a hit!" Little Girl said as she climbed in the car when i picked her up from the club pool across the street to go clean the shelter the other day.
You brought fettuccine Alfredo to the pool? i asked.
"Yes, well, it's kind of a long story, but I was telling Annie that I make a really good Alfredo sauce, and she wanted to try it, then the others wanted to try it, and so I brought some and some cookies to the pool and, well, it was a hit!" She held up a grocery bag with one of my plastic containers, some forks, and a bag of cookies empty except for one last, lonely occupant, which she proceeded to devour while on our way.
It's wonderful that all of my kids know how to cook. All the time letting them "mess around" in the kitchen, all the homeschool co-op cooking classes, and all the times they watched celebrity chefs and then decided to "cook like that" are worth it when they can feed themselves and friends.
Speaking of teaching cooking reminds me of a joke.
It was Thanksgiving, de whole fam'ly and kin was at de house on de bayou, an' Clothile was in de kitchen. Mos' de kids was outside, but Li'l Adele stay in de kitchen, watchin' Clothile ever' move.
Now Clothile don' mind dat, so she start show Li'l Adele how she chop de onion and make de roux, but Li'l Adele jes' watch an' not say anyt'in'.
Fin'ly, it be time to check de turkey in de oven, so Clothile she open de oven an' stick in de thermometer.
At dat, Li'l Adele find her voice an' she pipe up an' say, "You take it temp'ture? Mais, if dat bird be sick, I don' wan' eat none of it!"
