 recent appropriations to the stabilization fund and the fact that free cash was not used to balance the budgets in FY2011 or FY2012.” However, in an 11/30/11 masslive.com news article, it says Moody’s Rating Service recalibrated its ratings scale a few years ago, and the Aa2 bond rating is actually equivalent to an A1 rating, which is LESS THAN the A+ rating given to the town by the Standard and Poor’s Rating Service in 2010. Rather, the context of the CPA as mentioned in the town’s press release relates to support from the community – NOT specifically to the CPA and its bond rating.
Of utmost importance is taxpayer’s presence and participation at our annual Town Elections and Town Meetings. Resident’s our attendance and votes at Town Meetings influence how much and which pots of money are spent on small and large projects in our town, both CPA-related and non-CPA related. There are just over 9,000 residents in our town, yet only 200-400 people attend these. Please: participate and help to make spending decisions. Your vote DOES matter!
The 2012 Joint Women's Leadership Symposium was the largest gathering of women in uniform in the world. Many of them may not be there if it were not for this woman, Rear Admiral Wendi Carpenter.
Carpenter was one of the first women to go through the Navy's flight program and become a naval aviator.
“Some women talk about there being a glass ceiling, I don't believe it was a glass ceiling so much as it was a maze,” she says.
She said her training was similar to the movie An Officer and a Gentleman. She believes she was in the second year class of women going through the program.
From there, Carpenter became the Navy's first woman aviator to become an admiral. It was a journey not everyone wanted her to take.
“Those kind of individuals who would tell you they were gonna set out to get you kicked out of flight school or Aviation Officer Candidate School, which is really unfortunate because it reflects such a narrow mindset in the abilities of other people,” she says.
So how did she handle it? She says she just brushed it off and kept going.
Carpenter knew when she was very small that she wanted to be a pilot. And she thanks the many male mentors in her life, including her father, a WWII vet, for their guidance along the way. And though she's retired now, Carpenter still thinks about flying once in a while.
“Occasionally, when it's a crystal clear day in October and I see a small aircraft going by, I look up and think about it,” she says.
Now, though, Carpenter is busy breaking down more barriers. She is currently the president of the State University of New York Maritime College. She is the first woman to hold that position.Italian doomsters (EchO) have announced that they have parted ways with their drummer, Paolo Copeta, after thirteen years.

She's very curious and every time we bring her home from walks her muzzle and paws get very dirty. I have tried wiping this with just water and a cloth, but it doesn't seem to help much. Can you share your tips for keeping her fur white? (I do have the Angel Eyes for the tear stains).
I love this site and reading everyones posts. People were calling me crazy for washing her paws after a walk and I thought why her paws gets so dark so fast. I live in the city core and streets are very dirty. I found these socks that has been dipped into rubber. They are fexible and light which protects her from dirt and light rain. If te ground is very wet she will get wet but stays clean. She wears these socks everytime we go out all year round. They are very flexible since the are just socks. Occasionally or the day she is getting a bath she gets to run around outdoor o'natural (no socks).
I will use anything from dawn to white shampoo if it gets to bad as a touch up. They r dirt magnets as someone else said.
I do find on their paws if I keep the hair trimmed a little above the pads & it doesn't touch the road it doesn't absorb so much dirt. We walk alot.
You can also get a white spray conditioner that you spay on comb or brush. It will help for the gray look. I'll use Petco Brand.
When they r puppies it is a constant battle since they love to play where they get dirty. If it's in summer u can just use the outside hose, water gently to wash up a little w/the dawn or shampoo on the feet & muzzle.
We fill a all tub with wa water. Then fill a solo cup with water. Put the tiniest amount of dawn in the cup. Dawn is used to clean wildlife. So it is safe. We dip her paws, one at a time in the cup and swish. Then rinse her paws and dry with a towel. This really cleans our little coton well. Hope this helps. Cotons are the best dogs ever.
Every time we come back from a walk, truffles knows to wait after we take his harness off because we wipe his muzzle his paws his puppy maker and his butt with baby wipes.
Congrats on getting your new coton.....They are a dirt/grass magnet so like the above comments only way to clean them is water.......I fill bathroom sink with warm water and soak feet for a minute or two to remove sand from toes----hand pick grass/etc.
Messy job but only way to clean feet and tummy. I also wipe face each am with cotton ball under eyes to remove eye "boogies" and also used angel eyes at one time but because of the antibiotics in it Its not recommended for long term use.
Lots of maintenance on these darling dogs but you will find it is worth it. They are so loving and funny. Good luck with your new family member.
I also rinse his paws off in the sink to rinse off any sand, etc.after walks. I take a damp cloth and wash his face gently after eating. Rinsing paws also seems to help reduce allergic reactions to the environment. I just switched from Angel Eyes to Miracle Eyes (vegeterian formula) which I got from 1800 Pet Meds. It does not contain antibiotics and seems to be working very well.The Surgeon General today released a report addressing addiction in America, the neurobiology behind addiction, prevention, treatment, health care integration and recommendations for the future.
Substance use disorders typically develop over time following repeated misuse that changes brain circuitry, according to the report.
Further, individuals who use alcohol before age 15 years are 4 times more likely to develop an alcohol use disorder later in life, compared with those who use alcohol for the first time at age 20 years or older.
Because of this, the report states that substance misuse is an underappreciated and critical public health challenge that can lead to substance
