Unplug your wires and watches and plug in your senses during your runs.
Recently I had noticed a bit of a trend with my running. There seemed nothing "remarkable" about my daily runs. And for someone who loves running and has for 35 years, that says something. But was there really "nothing remarkable" or was I just failing to notice? And what that a turkey buzzard I just ran past?
So I started to look back over my training logs from years gone by (and yes, I have them all dating back to 1978) and I finally noticed the trend… I was writing less and less detail about my daily excursions, to the point where lately I'd become very "journalistic" in my entries – who, what when, where… but sadly, no "why." Over the past few months, I've again started to comment more in my daily logs about the "why" and the "how," which has led me to a greater openness to the experience of my daily running.
Now please don't take this personally, but running has to mean something to you in order for you to stick with it. If it doesn't have that meaning, then I suspect that whenever you're done preparing for whatever bucket list, challenge or whim that's struck you, you'll be done with running. Those "why run" comments in my logs? They mean something to me and have kept me at it all these years.
Since my look-back through my logs, I've noticed a lot of my best runs came when I spent a great deal of time in the "why" frame-of-mind. These runs weren't usually particularly fast, they weren't always in particularly unique or scenic places (although two of them were), and they weren't always particularly special.
Here's an example of a recent log entry – "Wet grass run. Nice warm gentle rain." That was June 7 at Lum's Pond. And those few words entered into my training book help me re-live a very nice, easy 46-minute run on the grass around Areas 1, 2 and 3. Nothing special, nothing fast, and a place I run at least twice a week. But a GREAT run. Why? Because it was. Oh, and the next day I ran one of my best road races in nearly a year.
Those two "unique" runs I mentioned include 12 miles on the battlefield of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. last spring and running up and down Mount Marathon in Alaska in 1998. Those were runs filled with "why we run" moments. There were lots of comments on the days of those running entries. But yet, a mundane run like June 7, 2013 at Lum's Pond ranks up there as a "best run EVER" moment as well.
Other places I've run that usually provided a magical spark include the Spotsylvania and Chancellorsville Battlefields near Fredericksburg, Virginia, desert runs in Riverside, California, and the 2 a.m. jaunts in New Hampshire as a part of the Reach the Beach Relay. But so did the 7 ½ mile loop near where my mom lived when I was in high school and college in Pennsylvania. The last 200-meter hill up to the front door ROCKED! I ran that rolling loop at least weekly for five years.
So do me a favor… unplug your wires and watches and plug in your senses. Discover the desire to experience rather than desire to finish. And see what "best run EVER" moment you can have during your daily 5. You may not discover a turkey buzzard but you may find more reasons to keep running past the upcoming mud, color, relay, team… event.
Former Lock Haven University stand-out runner Andrew Shearer is the Middletown Athletic Club secretary/treasurer. Shearer has been running since 1978.

Athletics - 000 000 010 000 - 1 7 0Jason Bay (#44) scored both runs as the Red Sox win in extras!
Red Sox - 010 000 000 001 - 2 11 2
Bay - who received a long standing ovation when he came to the plate in the second inning -- reached based in four of his six plate appearances.
He walked and scored in the second, was hit in the back by a pitch in the fourth, struck out in the sixth and eighth, walked in the tenth, and then tripled with two out in the twelfth.
After J.D. Drew was intentionally walked, Jed Lowrie chopped a grounder that Oakland shortstop Bobby Crosby could not make a clean play on and Bay scored the winning run.
Wakefield (6.1-4-0-3-4, 108) was superb and the bullpen was solid.
Tampa Bay beat Detroit 5-2 and Los Angeles shutout New York 1-0, so the Red Sox stay 3 GB and the Yankees fall to 5.5 GB.

A wise man once said: "The players come, the players go, we stay."
... and so the Jason Bay era begins.
And it begins against perhaps the best pitcher in baseball. In 16 of his 18 starts, Duchscherer has allowed two or fewer earned runs (on May 24, he threw a 8-1-0-0-4 line at the Red Sox).
Duchscherer leads the major league in ERA, WHIP (0.94, one of only two starters under 1.00), fewest hits allowed per 9 IP (6.96), lowest opponents average (.199) and lowest opponents slugging percentage (.309). He is a close second among MLB starters in lowest opponents on-base percentage (.255, with Dan Haren at .253).
In the six games of this homestand, the Sox are 1-5 with a .240/.303/.375 batting line. In the 12 games since the All-Star Game, they are hitting .241/.330/.360 and have slipped from .5 GA to 3 GB.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun discusses the always-on DRM in the Diablo III beta in an article titled "How Diablo III's DRM Will Affect You," posted under the heading "Why Blizzard Must Reconsider." This recaps Blizzard's reasoning for requiring a constant internet connection to play the upcoming action/RPG sequel, and in spite of there being a better reason for risking players losing their progress due to crashing than was the case in Settlers VII, says: "it doesn't make the problem go away, and I want to strongly argue that Blizzard reconsider their decision, in the face of its simply breaking their game. Because no matter how perfect your connection, it will affect you." The author describes losing progress due to server glitches, and grants that this is still a beta, but notes that such glitches are still to be expected occasionally once the game launches for real. He also goes on to outline the following "more striking and regular problem" he has encountered:

The City of Neosho has received a $210,000 grant to assist in the continuation of the city's trail and sidewalk improvements.
The City of Neosho has received a $210,000 grant to assist in the continuation of the city's trail and sidewalk improvements.
The Transportation Enhancement Program grant, provided by the Missouri Department of Transportation, will fund the majority of the sidewalk replacement starting near the Neosho National Fish Hatchery.
The 2,750-foot long, five-foot wide sidewalk addition will run from where the last trail update left off, near the hatchery, along McKinney Street and continue on to a city green area, where the old Benton School was once located.
"The project will expand the number of opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle users," said Neosho Development Services Director Dana Daniel in a prepared statement. "By reaching out to neighborhoods that adjoin the Neosho National Fish Hatchery, more opportunities present themselves for all members of the community to participate in healthy choices and educational choices."
"I just think that this is another positive step for Neosho to move forward in enhancing our city," said city manager Troy Royer.
Royer said the total project cost is estimated at $279,500.
The local cost share is $69,500.
The City of Neosho applied for two surface transportation program grants last fall, one for the continuation of the trail, and another to create paved paths through a green space where the First Baptist Church had formerly been located just off the square.
The city was not awarded the grant for the green space project, though the grant they did receive is the larger of the two.
The city's most recent trail project, completed in October 2012, was the construction of a 10-foot wide concrete trail, running around the east side of the Morse Park soccer fields, between the fields and Hickory Creek, and connecting Spring Street with McKinney Street, using a similar MoDOT grant along with private donations.
That trail ended near the hatchery, where the new one is set to begin as a crosswalk and then turn into a sidewalk going south and turning east onto Park Street, up to the former Benton site.
Royer said he would like to someday see the city-owned site turned into a neighborhood park.
He said in discussions with Land3 Studio, the landscape architecture firm hired to perform a study of the city's parks, more neighborhood parks have been suggested.
"I think this will help start to accomplish that," Royer said. "This will enable us to be able to do more at the Benton site."
At one time, the city had a parks master plan that outlined 12 miles worth of new trails throughout Neosho. Royer said he would like to see the plan eventually implemented, if possible.

I was recently introduced to the Stiletto Hardware line of products, and they may not be perfect either, but they're quite an improvement over the stuff I've been using! I was sent the ball of foot cushion, the slender ball of foot cushion, and the heel cushion to try.*
This pair of Seychelles heels is actually the right size, but because my foot slips down the slope of the sole when I stand up, they gap at the back. They're incredibly uncomfortable for that reason, and I've pretty much stopped wearing them. I've tried using cushioned inserts to alleviate this problem, but they are so thick that they push my toes up against the shoe vamp. Here's the shoe with no padding whatsoever. You can see the gap at the back:
The ball of foot cushion, on the other hand, simply keeps my foot in place - all the while adding some extra softness below my feet - and vastly improves overall fit. Here's the shoe with the Stiletto Hardware cushion inserted:
I used both the heel and slender ball of foot cushions to tweak the fit of these Tsubo sandals. These shoes are both slightly long and slightly wide on me, but the two cushions reposition my feet and add just enough padding to perfect how these adorable shoes sit on my feet.
I'm delighted to have a set of all three Stiletto Hardware products to give away to one lucky Already Pretty Reader. Here's what you've got to do to enter:
- Visit the Stiletto Hardware site to learn more about their products.
- Leave a comment on this post telling us which pair of your shoes NEEDS these inserts , and A VALID E-MAIL. Comments without a valid e-mail in the comment will be disqualified.
- Cross your fingers!
Enter by midnight CST on Sunday, August 7, 2011. I'll draw a winner at random the following day. This giveaway is open to everyone, including international readers. Good luck!

Cancer chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Unlike radiation therapy and surgery, which are localized treatments, chemotherapy is a systemic treatment, meaning the drugs travel throughout the whole body. This means chemotherapy can reach cancer cells that may have metastasized to other areas.
Chemotherapy is not commonly used for endometrial cancer. The treatment may be ordered for advanced disease, when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, or if the disease recurs. The drugs are often given in combination and in cycles. All of these drugs are given intravenously at the doctor's office or in the hospital.
Chemotherapy Drugs Used for Uterine Cancer:
- Cisplatin
- Cyclophosphamide
- Doxorubicin
- Carboplatin
- Paclitaxel
- Ifosfamide
Combination chemotherapy regimens used in uterine cancer include:
- CAP (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, cisplatin)
- Cisplatin and doxorubicin
- Cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin
- Carboplatin and paclitaxel
Doctors have yet to find a chemotherapy regimen that is curative or highly effective for advanced or recurrent uterine cancer. In various studies, the response rates to chemotherapy range from 36% to 67%. However, even in those who respond to treatment, the response lasts only 4-8 months on average.
Chemotherapy is sometimes combined with hormonal therapy for the treatment of advanced or recurrent uterine cancer.

LOGAN COUNTY - Coach Frashier and his Lady Viking hoops squad made the exhausting jaunt to Logan County to face the Lady Hillbillies of Man High School last Tuesday.
The Class A hoopsters of coach Tonia Ward were coming off a loss to Logan in their opener and were looking to get one in the win column.
Ripley (0-1) was down 12-9 at halftime but it was a 14-6 deficit in the third that did the most damage to the blue and white hopes on this night.
Both teams came out sluggish and scoring was hard to come by. It was as if both teams were shooting at a thimble.
Ripley shot 11-of-62 (17.7%) from the field and an equally gnarly 9-of-34 (26.5 %) from the charity stripe on the night.
It doesn't take a math major to know that those numbers will not lead you to victory, regardless of the opponent.
"The girls did everything great except for putting the ball in the hole. It is very upsetting because we are a good team and these girls deserve better reults," said Frashier.
Mikayla Pursley netted eight points and three rebounds, Keli Poling scored eight points and eleven rebounds, Jade Donohew had five points and 10 rebounds, Chelsey Hager had five points and two assists, Sara Williams netted four points and nine rebounds and Kensey Bergdorf and Kacie Whitney had a point each.
Ripley returns to action Friday on the road versus Winfield.

Not many are managing to get hits off of Seneca pitcher Colt Webber, and even fewer are finding ways to get Indians slugger Payton Rawlins out at the plate. That combination led to the Indians' fourth win of the season on Thursday as they downed Monett 5-2 at the Monett Tournament.
Not many are managing to get hits off of Seneca pitcher Colt Webber, and even fewer are finding ways to get Indians slugger Payton Rawlins out at the plate. That combination led to the Indians' fourth win of the season on Thursday as they downed Monett 5-2 at the Monett Tournament.
Webber was a force on the mound as he worked his mid-80's fastball and offspeed stuff to strike out 14 Cubs while pitching a two-hitter with three walks and two runs allowed. Webber breezed through the first six innings without allowing a run on just 70 pitches, before emptying the tank in the seventh. Regardless of his wobble in the seventh, it still made for a fantastic night on the bump.
And Rawlins? He went 2 for 2 at the dish with three RBIs, including an RBI triple in the first inning, to raise his batting average to a convincing .857 through the first five games of the season.
No wonder the Indians are now 4-1 overall.
"The kids did a great job tonight," Indians coach Chris Yust said. "Especially Colton on the mound, and at the plate we really had some good at-bats and did a good job."
Cade Cornett also had two hits at the dish for the Indians, while Dalan Merriman and Kyler Ng rounded out Seneca's six-hit attack with one apiece.
The Indians plated single runs in the first and third innings, before breaking loose with three in the fifth.
On Wednesday, three big innings propelled the Indians to their third victory of the season after some last minute shuffling saw them playing at home for the first time this season.
Due to poor field conditions in Monett, Seneca hosted the tournament on Wednesday, and the Indians benefited from the home field advantage as they downed East Newton, 13-1, in five innings.
The Indians plated three runs in each of the first and second innings, before tacking on seven in the fourth. Webber clubbed a two-run homer for the Indians in the second to lead their 13-hit attack, while Cornett had three hits and two RBIs, Marty Mailes added two hits and three RBIs, Rawlins and Merriman each had two hits, including a double apiece, and Cole Lankford, Ng and Brayden Larson each had a hit.
Rawlins, meanwhile, was dominant on the hill for the Indians as he went the distance and allowed two hits, one run and seven strikeouts.
"It's always nice t get out there and be able to play," Yust said. "We had a lot of quality at-bats up and down the lineup, and got out there and did what we needed to do. It was a good overall win."
Dillon Bunch had a double for the Patriots while Rocky Liveoak also had a hit.
The Indians host Wyandotte at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.

As the storm that blew into town Saturday started to move out of the area Monday, weather watchers reported a bounty of precipitation.
Briggen Wrinkle, who reports readings from Durango to the Grand Junction office of the National Weather Service, said Monday she measured 8 inches of snow, the equivalent of 0.63 inches of water, throughout three days.
Wrinkle had 2 inches of snow (0.18 inches of precipitation) Saturday morning; 4 inches of snow (0.22 precipitation) Sunday and 2 inches of snow (0.23 precipitation) Monday.
Pam Snider, who lives in Hesperus at 8,000 feet elevation, recorded 19 inches of snow 0.97 inches of water throughout the three days.
In the Rafter J subdivision, Bill Butler found a total of 13.5 inches of snow 0.94 inches of precipitation through three days.
Not everyone was thrilled.
The moisture is welcome, but it hasnt made a dent in the amount farmers and ranchers need, southwest La Plata County sheepman Jim Dyer said.
We get a little water from a ditch off the La Plata River, but its not enough to irrigate all our pasture, Dyer said. So we need rain and snow on the ground.
The last couple of storms havent wet the ground deeply, Dyer said. You need moisture down a few feet.
Recent precipitation hasnt erased the deficit from previous years, Dyer said. He characterized the siege of drought as dismal.
But Dyer doesnt want to write off the irrigation season.
I check the NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) Snotel site in Columbus Basin every morning because it feeds the La Plata River, Dyer said. Its encouraging.
The Columbus Basin at almost 11,000 feet elevation had 60 inches of snow and the equivalent of 13.3 inches of water Monday morning. On Feb. 5, the snow depth was 49 inches or 12.2 inches of water.
The Mancos Snotel site held 60 inches of snow Monday, up from 38 inches six days earlier. The Snotel site at Cascade had 40 inches of snow, compared to 31 inches on Feb. 5.
Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort said its season-to-date snowfall stands at 161 inches, 26 more than at the same time last year.
The resort received 9 inches after lifts closed Sunday and 8 more inches Monday morning, the statement said.
The snowpack in the Animas, Dolores, San Miguel and San Juan river drainages in January was 84 percent of the amount registered at the same time last year and 70 percent of the basin average for the month.
John Kyle, a forecaster at the National Weather Service in Grand Junction said higher elevations, 8,000 to 10,000, received 15 to 30 inches of snow from the storm.
The weather service forecast said the departing storm could leave up to 4 inches of snow, mainly before 1 a.m. this morning. A winter storm warning was in effect until midnight.
Temperatures will be brisk. Todays high will be around 31 and the low tonight a minus 1. Highs Wednesday through Sunday will range from 34 to 39, and lows will be 2 to 11 degrees.

How come you guys arnt in communion with any other branch of Orthodoxy, or are you?
Ive been told be alot of Orthodox Clergy that you guys are not Orthodox, and still subscribe, to the Monophysite Heresy.
You dont regonize the 7 ecumenical councils so you are not Orthodox.In My opinion.
I think you can say ~ In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and post with charitable and prayerful intentions.
You dont regonize the 7 ecumenical councils so you are not Orthodox.
Quote from: Byzantine Christian on December 14, 2003, 05:21:28 PMYou dont regonize the 7 ecumenical councils so you are not Orthodox.I note that you don't mention anything about the content of the councils? Are you aware of what they teach?Since we confess that Christ is perfectly and completely Divine and perfectly and completely human, without confusion or mixture, and that he is consubstantial with the Father according to His Divinity and comsubstantial with us men according to His Humanity in what sense is this not what Chalcedon was teaching?Since we anathematised the Three Chapters over 100 years before the Chalcedonians did how is this not what 5th council was teaching? Indeed I might ask why the Chalcedonians took so long to discover that the Three Chapters were heretical? Why were heretical documents accepted for 100 years?Since we also teach that Christ is perfect in His human will as well as His Divine will, so that the incarnate Word wills according to His Divinity and according to His humanity, and since we teach that the human and Divine will are in perfect agreement and that neither is diminished by the incarnation then how is the not what the 6th council was teaching?And since we also have churches filled with icons and venerate them without offering to them any of the worship which is due to God alone, how is this not what the 7th council was teaching?So since we teach what the latter 4 councils were teaching I would be very interested to know where our supposed heresy lies?Peter Theodore
Is the ghist of the Oriental argument that since you were not involved in the heresies condemned in the later councils, why should you have to accept those councils which corrected those errors?I don't know if he'd put it in writing, but my priest holds the Orientals to be Orthodox. There's hope...Demetri
as similarities in theology. If our theologies were similar, we would not be split for centuries now.monarhist
Lex orandi, lex credendi.Our respective theologies are borne in our respective liturgies and hence, in our practice. Perhaps a thorough reading of the Oriental liturgical books by those who would call them monophysites should occur before any such accusations of that heresy are thrown?
No offense, but the accusations of heresy have already been thrown by the Orthodox Fathers.Were they wrong?Did they, as native koine Greek speakers, misunderstand Christlogical terminology that we now understand better?Or could it be that they were right and that we moderns have been infected by the environment of pluralism and ecumenism in which we now find ourselves?
I'm with the camp of 13 million Americans that believe politicians are, or are controlled by, Reptilians. I think only monks can solve this problem. It doesn't seem right that they prefer to ignore it.
It is sad that this thread was even started. I have never met an Eastern Orthodox priest, bishop, or theologian who would call us "monophysites". My experience has been quite the opposite. I thought that it was already demonstrated years ago that we share the same Orthodox Faith regarding the Incarnation of Our Lord and Saviour. This has been what every Eastern Orthodox clergyman I have ever spoken with has said to me, not to mention what I have read of the dialogues. Far from calling me a monophysite, they have told me that we share the same Christology expressed in different terms, and that only the enumeration of the Councils and issues concerning certain saints now separate us. In fact I have only ever heard this hurtful, offensive, and downright incorrect appellation thrown at us by internet know-it-alls who have yet to demonstrate to me that I am a "monophysite". I am a Coptic Orthodox Christian. I denounce the heresy of Eutyches. I cling to the Faith of St. Cyril, as my Ethiopian brothers say, "Tewahedo". Please show me how I am a monophysite, if you truly believe this.
"We believe that the Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ is perfect in His Divinity and perfect in his Humanity without confusion, without change, without separation and we are not talking about two natures after the mysterious union of our Lord". ("Episkepsis" #442, 7/1/1989, p. 10).
Dioscoros said: from two natures I accept, of two natures I do not accept. (Council of Chalcedon).
Linus,Yes but Pope Shenouda means the same thing we mean. Fully God. Fully man. That's all that matters.anastasios
Well, we obviously disagree.I don't believe we share the same faith.In fact, I don't think the Non-Chalcedonians have really changed their position at all in 1500 + years.
[Likewise, optimism is expressed about the "positive"—as it is asserted—outcome of the dialogue with the Anti-Chalcedonians, who have repeatedly been condemned for their persistence in heresy and false belief. Our Most Holy Church of Jerusalem abides steadfastly by the decisions of both the Holy Ecumenical Synod of Chalcedon and the subsequent Holy Ecumenical Synods, and neither setting aside any of the definitions nor subjecting them to fresh inquiry, she has broken off the theological dialogue with the non-Chalcedonians.She does not, however, exclude the possibility of their return and re-inclusion in the bosom of our Most Holy Orthodox Church. In what way the heterodox are received is known. They must fully accept—without any exception—the teaching of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, which is formulated in the definitions and decisions of the Ecumenical Synods.The partial acceptance of the teaching of the Orthodox Church, that is, the exception of certain definitions of the Ecumenical Synods, as is being done by the heterodox according to what pleases them and serves their interests, as in this case by the Anti-Chalcedonians, cannot constitute a sign of their contact with our Most Holy Orthodox Church. On the contrary, it will entangle her in vicissitudes and divisions, which will weaken her healthy body. For this reason we are bound to inform you, our Most Blessed brethren, in this fraternal Assembly, that our Most Holy Church is abstaining also from this dialogue. For, despite the positive estimate of its progress that it is going to develop further to the better, it will be of no benefit, unless it presupposes the full acceptance of the Orthodox Teaching. (1992)
Take this statement from Pope Shenouda, for example:Quote"We believe that the Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ is perfect in His Divinity and perfect in his Humanity without confusion, without change, without separation and we are not talking about two natures after the mysterious union of our Lord". ("Episkepsis" #442, 7/1/1989, p. 10). That is not the extremism of Eutyches, but it is not Orthodox either.
"We believe that the Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ is perfect in His Divinity and perfect in his Humanity without confusion, without change, without separation and we are not talking about two natures after the mysterious union of our Lord". ("Episkepsis" #442, 7/1/1989, p. 10).
I don't believe we share the same faith.
Again, we disagree.The statement of St. Cyril that is often quoted in support of "miaphysitism" was clarified in his own writings. He did not mean that Christ had only one nature after the hypostatic union.That is made clear in Anastasius' Doctrine of the Fathers as well in the work of St. Maximus the Confessor against the Monothelites.Best not to argue at length, however.I have referred Orthodox Christians to two links for informative articles on this topic.They are: http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/ea_mono.htmand http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10489b.htm .It is interesting that you put the term Miaphysitism in quotes as if I made it up when the phrase on which we base our Christology begins with the words "Mia physis..." not "Mono physis...". Anyway, I am aware of the fact that St. Cyril goes on to clarify the meaning of this famous sentence in his writings. I do not deny either nature of Christ after His Incarnation, and neither does my Church. We simply believe that the two natures are perfectly united in Him, a belief which is Orthodox. Do you think perhaps that we have only read the one sentence and are not familiar with the rest of the writings of our Coptic Father and Pope St. Kyrillos? Which nature is it that you think we deny, the human or the Divine? It is clear that we deny neither, whether before or after the Incarnation. Do we have to describe it in precisely the same terminology as you in order to be considered Orthodox?I am also familiar with both of the websites to which you posted links. Regarding orthodoxinfo.com, I will be kind and say that anything coming from there should be taken with a grain of salt. The opinions posted there often border on the paranoid, and I am loathe to take them too seriously. But then again, I don't believe that there is an insidious ecumenist/masonic/phanariote conspiracy seeking to undermine Holy Orthodoxy, which is only truly practiced by two guys in the Ukraine and three guys on Mt. Athos.I take this site as seriously as its creators might take as site run by the Armenian Apostolic Church.The other site is Roman Catholic, and I wonder how it is that we are to accept their teachings regarding the subject of "Monophysites" and yet reject their teachings concerning Eastern Orthodox "schismatics" who are in need of the leadership of the Pope of Rome and the embrace of Holy Mother Church? As to the opinion of Patriarch Diodorus I, it is precisely that, his opinion. I am glad that you have posted it here because it demonstrates that not all of the Eastern Orthodox hierarchs are pro-reunification. We should strive to get as accurate a perspective on this matter as possible. There seems to be a divergence of opinion on the subject among the Eastern Orthodox jurisdictions. I wonder if the late Patriarch and those of his thinking view those Eastern Orthodox who commune us as Orthodox as being guilty of communing heretics? If so, then what action should be taken against them? Should they be excommunicated themselves? Linus, do you mind if I ask to what jurisdiction you belong? What is the official stance of your bishop on this matter?
This last statement is correct: We Oriental Orthodox have not changed out position in the last 1500+ years. This is because we know it to be the Orthodox position. We did not change it for the pagan Romans, for Justinian and his crew, or for the militant Muslims, so why should we change it now?
Raouf: If all we do is forever insist on one side adopting the other's formula, exclusively, we shall never go anywhere.

We're available 24/7 to discuss treatment options.
Radiation therapy may be used for patients with advanced melanoma.
Radiation therapy uses targeted energy (e.g., X-rays, radioactive substances) to destroy cancer cells, shrink tumors, and/or alleviate certain cancer-related symptoms. It may be used:
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA), our radiation oncologists are experienced in using advanced technologies to deliver targeted radiation therapy while also proactively managing side effects.
Some radiation therapy delivery methods include:
Typical radiation therapy can be damaging to the body and cause unpleasant side effects, such as skin changes, fatigue, nausea, and other side effects, depending on the part of your body being treated. During your radiation treatment, clinicians from a variety of supportive care services will work with you to reduce side effects and improve your quality of life.
Watch a medical animation on radiation-related side effects
Learn about newer radiation techniques designed to reduce adverse side effects

Learn how integrative therapies may help manage radiation burns
Our radiation oncologists specialize in delivering maximum radiation doses to tumors with less damage to healthy tissues and organs. Our radiation oncologists will work closely with you and the rest of your care team to deliver radiation therapy based on your individual needs.
Radiation therapy is an important part of treatment for many of our patients. Since each cancer type requires a different approach, your treatment plan will be based on your unique needs and treatment goals.
Our radiation oncologists use advanced imaging techniques before and during radiation treatment so we can closely track the tumor. We use highly targeted radiation technologies to deliver maximum radiation doses to tumors, with less impact on healthy tissues and organs. Thereby, we can often provide options to patients who have reached their maximum tolerated dosage of traditional radiation.
Depending on your individual needs, you may receive radiation therapy alone or in combination with other treatment modalities like surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and/or immunotherapy. Throughout your treatment, your radiation oncologist will monitor the effectiveness of the radiation therapy and modify your treatment plan accordingly.

PENSION CRISIS: $48 billion and counting
You've heard about it. You know it's affecting your taxes and leaching money from infrastructure, business development, education and more.
Thanks to a combination of factors, Pennsylvania is in a $41 billion hole as it struggles to sustain its defined-benefit retirement plans. Meanwhile, municipal pension plans have amassed nearly $7 billion in unfunded liabilities.
Lawmakers are talking reform that could affect future retirement benefits — this time with the help of private-sector ideas — but how will they tackle the debt already incurred when the debate heats up in 2013?
In a two-part series, the Business Journal shows you how the state pension crisis came to exist, the reform measures that reflect the current thinking, and what the crisis means — and could mean — to your business.

a very brief outline of our amazing weekend for you all guys.....
John Sosta and the rest of us STORM players have been training hard, and playing hard domestically for about 6months now (although Storm have been doing this for years) two of our squad have only played tournament paintball for 6months, myself included. under the excellent guidance and traing of John he has managed to introduce us 'new guys' into the fold and form a highly effective team. which this past weekend has proved!
we went to Amsterdam on Wednesday night (on the overnight ferry) arrived in Holland on Thursday morning 07:30, we drove straight to the site and registered etc. after sorting the admin, we walked the fields all day (7hours) worked out strategies, moves, breaks, etc, etc then once we felt we knew the fields backwards we left for the hotel.
Friday Morning: arrived at 07:30 in time to watch DYNASTY play their first game, they won it easily but we could see some areas where our firepower would hold them back. we watched all morning our fellow Pro teams to see what they did and how they played the fields, this was to be a good move, as we knew what they were gonna do later in the tournament.
our games started at 13:30, we maxed all afternoon, beating Joy Division Pro and Hardcore Pro, quite easily, this gave us untold confidence, at the end of day one we had won 5/5 489points, DYNASTY had maxed all of theirs too but only had 488points so we wre very happy. an early dinner and early night shortly followed us watching England lose the X-ball against Sweden 1:9 respectively!
Saturday Morning: first game 08:00 vs TONTON Flingeurs, we lost this game not only against the players but also the marshalls, which so happened to be French also! i wont go too deeply into this game but i am sure you can make your own minds up about what happened! it went down to a 1v1 situation which they won....
we then played the rest of the games which ended up 2/3, so with 7 maxes under our belts, and high scoring loses we had a chance to qualify. we kept an ieye on the score board, and there was already 3 teams with less points than us, with the whole afternoon of play to happen. so we had definately qualified!!
The Semi Finals: we got drawn against TONTON Acyd, Shockwave and Ugly Ducklings, we got through with a high scoring lose and a win against Shockwave, which put them out!
The Finals: we got drawn agaisnt the Duclikngs again! best of 3 games, we lost the first game, but held them for 5-6mins before thay took it. then Johnny Sosta came up with a secret strategy, which we implemented in the second game, in front of 4-500spectators on the X-ball field, we won this game very convincingly, and really suprised the Ducklings, the crowd went mad, all cheering us on. the third and deciding game for 1st or 2nd place in the finals was goin to be tight, we kept the same strategy, and it started well, except Rowan (back left) got taken on the break, which meant they could get a played into the right hand snake, which took out our center front players quickly, we locked the field down for a while with two of us left, then Steve to my left got taken,leaving me with 5 Ducklings to beat, i took the first bunker attempt out on the far left and then felt 4 other guns hammering my bunker on the left of it, so i bugged out right and took the guy in the snake, just after i got shot in the hand. so the marshalls called me out and wiped him down. we lost and had to play for 3rd and 4th, against the TONTON's.
i would just like to say what a great bunch of guys the Ducklings are, they played fair and hard - thanks guys!
TONTON's, we lost the first game, then got them down to a 3v2 in the second, Johnny Sosta was on his way round the back to backdoor the remaing TONTON when a dopey marshall lifted him up to check him, and in doing so pulled him into the remaining TONTON's paint, the marshall called him out and one 4 oend him with Rowan our back left guy, then a bit of confusion occured and a marshall pointed to our remaining player, which the TONTON did not know where he was until them and got him shot, so we had to settle for 4th.
still 4th is a great achievenment, for our first Millennium this season, and we are all very happy indeed.
thanks to Airgun Designs and our other sponsors, we took the x-mag to them and shoved it up their............bunkers!!

At NPR Music, they're wrapping up the year the best way they know how, with their hotly contested list of their 50 favorite albums of 2013. Now, all this week, we'll get a peek at that list from our in-house experts, including NPR Music writer and editor Stephen Thompson, whose beat is the ever amorphous indie pop, which - Stephen, what exactly is that these days?
STEPHEN THOMPSON, BYLINE: I have absolutely no idea. It used to mean accessible but unpopular.
CORNISH: OK. So...
THOMPSON: But even there - even those lines have gotten blurry.
CORNISH: All right.
THOMPSON: It's rock. It's pop. It's folk. It's engineered to be unpopular and yet it's popular. I don't know what to say.
CORNISH: OK. So would Vampire Weekend count?
THOMPSON: You know, I think so. I think they're definitely on the popular end of that spectrum but also very accessible. Wonderful record.
EZRA KOENIG: (Singing) Back, back, way back, I used to front like Angkor Wat, Mechanicsburg, Anchorage and Dar es Salaam. While home in New York with champagne and disco, tapes from LA, slash San Francisco. But actually...
THOMPSON: You know, I've never been a gigantic fan of Vampire Weekend, but I love this album. The songs have gotten more sophisticated and much more heartwarming and more personal.
KOENIG: (Singing) I'm stronger now. I'm ready for the house, such a modest love. I can't do it alone. I can't do it alone.
CORNISH: We're going to move on to an artist who doesn't fit into any genre, Laura Mvula.
THOMPSON: Yeah. She is terrific. She put out a record this year called "Sing to the Moon."
LAURA MVULA: (Singing) She walked towards you with her head down low. She wondered if there's a way out of the blue.
THOMPSON: It's coming from about five different genres at once. You know, it's very soulful. It could have come from not only any era in music but any place on a map.
CORNISH: That song is called "She" by Laura Mvula. And, you know, it's interesting. It seems like a lot of the albums that made the list were debuts. And one that I noticed was the group Rhye. Tell us about them.
THOMPSON: This is this very interior, quiet, thoughtful record. You know, there are bands that make love songs and there are bands that make sex songs. These are intimacy songs.
CORNISH: You call this a sexy-as-hell collection of affectionate love songs.
THOMPSON: That just about sums it up.
MILOSH: (Singing) Ooh, make love to me.
CORNISH: People may not realize that they are listening to a man singing right now.
THOMPSON: Yeah. It's a very androgynous record. You don't see pictures of them. It's designed to be as mysterious as possible and to exist entirely as a sound world.
CORNISH: And the album is called "Woman."
THOMPSON: It's called "Woman."
CORNISH: So that probably adds to some of the mystery or confusion there.
THOMPSON: Exactly.
MILOSH: (Singing) Don't slip away, my dear. Don't run away.
CORNISH: All right. Last but not least, Stephen, an album that - to quote your email to me about this - made the list after you, quote, "tipped over the table and threatened to set yourself on fire."
THOMPSON: That's - now, that should be taken figuratively.
CORNISH: OK. It's Laura Marling's "Once I Was An Eagle."
THOMPSON: Yeah. She's 23 years old. And this is - it opens with this incredible five-song suite. And the whole record has this overarching story about coming out of a failing relationship. And it's just - it's a very bold record. It's not a milquetoast folk-pop record. It's got some gristle to it. It's got some guts.
LAURA MARLING: (Singing) You want a woman because you want to be saved. Well, I tell you that I've got a little lot on my plate. You want a woman who will call your name. It ain't me, babe. No, no, no. It ain't me, babe.
THOMPSON: These records all have unifying theories and unifying ideas behind them. They really adhere to a central idea, a central notion, whether it's an uncompromising sound, whether it's a theme. And I think when you're looking at the best albums of the year, they can be just collections of great songs, but I think these are still albums that hang together as album-length statements.
CORNISH: In an age when we're all just listening to one song at a time, right?
THOMPSON: In an age where we're all just grasping at three minutes here and three minutes there, something that hangs together as a full album-length work is really exciting.
CORNISH: That's NPR's music writer and editor Stephen Thompson. Stephen, thank you.
THOMPSON: Thank you, Audie.
CORNISH: And you can see the full list of the top 50 albums of 2013 at npr.org/music.
MARLING: (Singing) They don't have a hope in hell. You see the thing is we are so alone. There's nothing we can share. You can get me on the telephone, but you won't keep me there. No, no, no. You won't keep me there. Take me somewhere I can grow. Give me something. Let me go. Tell me something I don't know. I have some news. I have some news.
CORNISH: You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Hauntings in Meriden, CT
Posted 16 December 2008 - 09:20 PM
Posted 16 December 2008 - 11:13 PM
I honestly don't recall any stories about battles being fought in Meriden (the closest "war related" story I can think of is from Southington, where Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau camped out on his way to rendezvous with General Washington, at the Hudson River), but again, perhaps a visit to a library would help you with that. I'm sure there has to have been some skirmishes with local native tribes, as the European settlers moved in, but I've never read anything about that.
Meriden doesn't really bother me too much (I just don't really care for it); but nearby Middletown...well, that's another story! Good luck with looking for info. Let us know what you find?

isnt it though. lol
...and I'm really going to be upset by the first person who swears Altobello/Undercliff is haunted. I swear I will!
Posted 17 December 2008 - 10:36 AM
isnt it though. lol
No. It might be "creepy" and "spooky", but it isn't haunted. Most of the stories (mostly 3rd party) about the place being haunted are the results of over imaginative people, or worse...people just trying to tell "ghost stories". In all my time working there (mostly at night), and with the access to all the buildings that I had, I never had an inkling of anything paranormal in the area. It's just a very popular myth, that this place is haunted.
Besides, the subject of Altobello/Undercliff, and whether it's haunted or not was discussed (rather poorly) in a separate thread, a long time ago.
And...you were kidding, right?

As for the Black Dog, I personally view it as a tall tale, as there is only one reported instance of seeing it and experiencing it's curse.
Supposedly Mt. Lamentation has it's own little legend, but in my research I have been unable to determine the exact location on the ridge.

I would think Meriden would be historically significant only because it would make a great lookout area for troop movement in the valley. But I am not aware of any major battles in the area either.
As for the Black Dog, I personally view it as a tall tale, as there is only one reported instance of seeing it and experiencing it's curse.
Supposedly Mt. Lamentation has it's own little legend, but in my research I have been unable to determine the exact location on the ridge.
You are correct, sir! I also think the Black Dog is a myth. Mt Lamentation...now there's a name I haven't heard in ages! According to Wikipedia (that internet font of knowledge!), the story behind it is this:
Lamentation Mountain takes its name from an incident in 1653 when a member of a nearby colony became lost on the mountain for three days before he was found by a search party.
Sounds rather benign, doesn't it?
According to Google Maps, Mt Lamentation (State Park) isn't part of Hubbard Park, where the Hanging Hills are located, but about 4 miles away, on the other (eastern) side of North Broad Street. It's across the road from Silver Lake.

Well, to put a pin in it, let me tell you the real history of Undercliff. It was a TB hospital in the 1930's until the end of WWII when the old wooden building burned to the ground. The foundation of that old building is up on the "back road" (to the right) before going past the old garage and staff quarters (apartment building) to meet up with main road that goes to the main building -- six stories brick. That building was built and operated from the 1950's through 1975 as a Mental Health Center. To the right of it was the staff apartment building and old garage. Across from the old garage was "Cliff House" opened as DARTEC -- a drug rehab in 1972. Now, the first building that you used to see as you came into the grounds, up on the right -- a big brick building (circa 1890) -- was initially the Poor House. (Yes, really.) It had "indiginant" families living there as late as 1970 when the State officially closed the "last" Poor House and re-allocated it to the Regional Training Center that was operated in the three story building to the left where the road separated into the upper (front) and back roads. The Regional Training Center was for what was then called "Retarded Children." Between the smaller brick center (crica 1965) and the Poor House (that burned down entirely in the late 1980's) was an old wooden barn -- a holdover from the TB hospital days. It was torn down in the late 1970's, after the main hospital (the mental health center) closed.
isnt it though. lol
..Besides, the subject of Altobello/Undercliff, and whether it's haunted or not was discussed (rather poorly) in a separate thread, a long time ago.
And...you were kidding, right?
Ok, now, there was a smaller road directly across from the Regional Training Center that had four brick houses (circa 1950) on it -- those were staff houses where the doctors and administrators lived with their families. Two of the four houses were put on wheels and moved when the highway was built that cutoff that neighborhood from Stuben Street. Before the highway came through, it was possible to walk all the way to Hubbard park on Undercliff land. Also, if you continue past the main hospital building out the old road to the water tower, you end up on West Mountain just past the pond and on the road to Castle Craig.
FYI -- The Altebello cottages were built much later in the front meadow on the other side of the brook between the highway and Undercliff Rd.
Also, the two larger houses - mansions really -- were up closer to the main building and housed the Superintendent and the Chief Physician. One of those was reinforced and used in the late 1990's early 2000's to house a mentally insane murderer -- for some strange reason -- instead of the more secure main building that included locked wards. The other house had a State Police Lt. living there -- he later got caught up in a scandal for paying very low rent, like $25 or something a month. (Look it up.)
About the main hospital. There was no morgue -- that was the kitchen on the ground floor -- notice the loading dock behind it! Those "refrigerator" drawers were for food, not bodies. That building was never used for the TB hospital -- the wooden building that burned was the TB hospital -- and minimum security mental health centers don't have their own morgues. (Undercliff was never for the criminally insane until they put that one guy in the reinforced house in the late 1990's.)
So, that's the story of Undercliff. The only true really spooky thing is that the serial murderer Hadden Clark (and his brother and father) reportedly all were patients at Undercliff. And, in the early 2000's, the CT State Police had him up from MD to look around for bodies he reportedly buried there when it was being operated by the State Police in the 1990's. Since his Grandpa operated a nursery on the East side of town (other side of town) when he was in high school and he lived with him from time-to-time, it's not implausible. What should really scare those tempted to trespass is he was up there wandering around in the 1990's when many folks on this board say they were up there, too. Sure glad none of you met him! Or, maybe someone did, and was never heard from again. Google him -- he's a really scary dude.
p.s. how do I know all this? See my label -- that was my address from 1968 to 1975. Yup, my family lived and worked on those grounds for seven long, lonely years until they closed the hospital. In those years, I hiked those grounds thoroughly and played in or visited every building. As the operations wound down, we stayed on until we were the only family left. And, then we left, too. The real shame of all this is those beautiful, valuable buildings have just been wasted into decripit wrecks, unused for so many years.

QUIP: In my column this week, I offered some baked bean recipes, which immediately drew the comment, "Love beans, especially since they are a good source of fiber and protein but I hate the embarrassing gas and painful bloating they cause."
TIP: Beans are a great source of protein and fiber and yes, they are notorious for causing abdominal bloating and intestinal gas.
This is due to oligosaccharides, which are complex sugars in beans that require special enzymes to be broken down and digested.
Since our bodies lack those enzymes, those complex sugars pass into our intestines where bacteria metabolize them, which, in turn produce gas.
That said, there are a few things that can be done to greatly reduce these undesirable sugars and the easiest is to simply soak those dried beans.
As a general rule of thumb, the longer you soak beans, the greater the amount of oligosaccharides will be dissolved into the soaking water.
For example, if you soak the beans overnight, it can reduce 60% of those complex sugars.
To do so. Measure out the amount of beans you want to cook. Cover with water, remove any "floaters" then rinse well.
Transfer beans to a large bowl filled with 1-part beans to 4 parts of cold water.
Leave them soak overnight then discard soaking liquid, rinse and drain the beans a couple of times until the water runs clear then prepare as desired.
You can also shorten the soak time using this quick soaking method. Place rinsed beans in a saucepan, and add enough water to cover (water level should be at least 1 inch above the bean level). Cover with a lid and bring to a rolling boil for 2 minutes. Using a large spoon, skim off any white foam that forms on the surface. Remove saucepan from heat and leave the beans to soak for 1 hour.
Then place your soaked or pre-boiled beans in a large pan and add fresh cold water to cook your beans.
Make sure not to add salt or baking soda to beans until they are tender and cooked completely because sodium will prevent beans from softening.
Also, don't add acidic ingredients like tomato, vinegar, wine or citrus juices, while the beans are cooking.
Adding fennel seeds, cumin seeds, a thin slice of fresh ginger, fresh cilantro or a bay leaf will help soften the beans too, which also will help make them more digestible,
When using canned beans, always drain and rinse the beans several times before cooking, otherwise your flatulence/indigestion problem will be worse.
Another trick is to eat yogurt, papaya, pineapple, garlic or B Vitamins prior to consuming beans.
Yogurt offers a good source of friendly digestive bacteria; garlic and B Vitamins help digestion and papaya and pineapple contain digestive enzymes.

I read the Butler Eagle articles about the proposed county and Butler School District tax increases.
Do these county and school board elected officials realize they represent the voters, not just their teacher friends or other officials?
Is anyone else sick and tired of these almost-yearly tax increases, instead of looking for cuts, cuts and more cuts?
For example, if health care costs are rising, more money should be sought from employees to help cover those costs.
As for the county, when it is negotiating with hourly people, it looks for cuts everywhere — employee contributions for health care, etc. But big headlines don't inform the taxpayers about many of the unbelievable raises county officials receive, until those raises are finalized.
The Butler School Board prides itself in "early bird" contracts that the district apparently can't afford, then looks for tax increases year after year.
How about larger class sizes and increased employee contributions toward health care coverage?
If all we're going to do is increase taxes, why do we need these representatives?
Retired people on fixed incomes cannot afford much more.

Ondřej Anděra, Petr Kout
Stage director: Ondřej Anděra, Petr Kout
Sets: Josef Svoboda
Design cooperation: Petr Kout
Dramaturgy: Václav Janeček
Choreography: Jiří Bubeníček, Václav Kuneš, Petr Zuska
Camera: Matěj Cibulka, Jiří Málek
Costumes: Roman Šolc
In 2002 contemporary dance stepped onto the stage of Laterna Magika in the presentation titled Graffiti. The scenario and stage direction were entrusted to students of the College of Film at the Academy of Performing Arts, Ondřej Anděra and Petr Kout, thus giving space to the truly young generation. This composed evening in four parts was created by three choreographers whose names were not yet so well known as they are today.
At that time people knew the dancer Jiří Bubeníček, who contributed two choreographies for our program (Graffiti and Absinth), mainly as a ballet performer of world calibre and partner of his no-less famous brother Otto. Václav Kuneš, who created the choreography On the Step 2…, was a member of the Netherlands Dance Theatre under Jiři Kylian, and today wins honours and popularizes modern dance in the Czech Republic as choreographer and head of the dance group 420PEOPLE. Petr Zuska is now head of the National Theatre Ballet in Prague, and his choreographies have been seen by audiences in many countries. His duet Les Bras de Mer, included in our presentation, counts among his most often-performed works, and its premiere at Laterna Magika brought honours also to the performers of this duet: Eva Horakova and Pavel Knolle were both nominated for a Thalia Prize, and they were declared the best dance couple of the year.
But this would not be Laterna Magika without enhancement of choreography by something from the realm of visual art. The sets for the presentation are the last work of the set designer Josef Svoboda, who in Graffiti utilized special projections on a thin sheet in front of the stage (a 'virtual screen'), supporting the impression of space. This presentation will certainly not disappoint any lover of modern dance.
Duration of the performance: 1 hour and 40 minutes, 1 intermission

Every year, the Bolder Boulder features thousands of citizen runners. It also features some of the world's elite runners in the International Team Challenge.
This year, the race will add a new twist. The Club Team Challenge will be a part of the citizens race this year for the first time.
"There has been a growing push to get the local clubs more involved in the competitive part of the race," said Don Janicki, the pro athlete coordinator for the Bolder Boulder. "We thought maybe we'll dabble in the citizens race and see what kind of response we get."
A handful of local running clubs, such as Newton Running, have entered teams in the citizens race. The clubs can enter as many runners as they'd like, but the top three men and the top three women will score. Runners must belong to a club and they must qualify for the "A" wave of the race.
"We're just waiting and seeing how it all pans out," Janicki said. "I think it'll add a new dimension to the 'A' wave that hasn't been there."
Stephen Gartside, the executive sponsor of Newton Running Elite, said his team is excited about the challenge.
"It's something that creates one more level of competition for some that want to take it seriously," Gartside said. "If not, just the rivalry between the clubs is fun. It's a great addition."
Gartside mentioned that the Bolder Boulder has always prided itself on having a fast field in the citizens race, but said, "This just puts one more challenge out there to encourage a lot of fast people to spend their Memorial Day out there racing."
Newton Running will certainly put a lot of people out on the course.
Newton's men's team will feature Fernando Cabada, who finished 16th at the Boston Marathon earlier this year. Mark Rochon, Bob Weiner and former citizens race winner Jeremy Freed will also compete for the men's team.
Newton's women's team is highlighted by a local legend, Melody Fairchild. Boulder-based Kara Henry and Amanda Scott, along with Colorado native Nicole Chyr will also run for Newton. Stephanie Pezzullo, from Charlotte, rounds out the team and she could be the best of the bunch.
Gartside said that the Bolder Boulder is the one race the club asked team members to include on their schedule. Newton is the official running shoe sponsor of the Bolder Boulder, so Gartside would like to see a good representation of the club at the race.
Regardless of whether the club runners are training through the race or going for the win, Gartside believes the Club Team Challenge will bring some competitive fire to the "A" wave.
"Maybe we'll be lucky and have one of our men win it and one of our women win it, as well," he said. "But, I certainly think there's going to be some strong competition for the win out there in the citizens race."
Janicki is eager to see how it all pans out, too.
"It's the first year, so I'm excited to see what happens," he said.

With more than 350 businesses in the local chamber, director Roxane Ferguson said that the event will be more about celebration than business.
The Middletown Area Chamber of Commerce will celebrate 41 years at its annual black tie optional Gala Jan. 18.
With more than 350 businesses in the local chamber, director Roxane Ferguson said that the event will be more about celebration than business.
"The culture of our area is unique," she said. "We will keep the business segmental to a minimum for awards and then we just want to celebrate all of the businesses and new members."
This year's Gala will recognize Bill O'Neil, who is serving as the Chamber's first Board of Directors President and other members of the Board as well.
Awards for citizen and business of the year will also be presented.
"We're very blessed that a lot of people want to do business here," Ferguson said.
The MACC not only has business members from the M.O.T. area, but from throughout Delaware and Maryland and New Jersey.
A variety of businesses make up the chamber, from large to small to non-profit.
In 2012, Microsoft joined the MACC after opening its first store in Delaware in the Christiana Mall.
About 80 percent of the chamber is made up of small businesses – many of which are local.
"We have a great business community," Ferguson said.
She said that a lot of people move to the Middletown area for its culture.
"It's a great place to live, work, and raise a family," she said. "There's something here for everyone."
The Gala will begin at 6:30 p.m. and end at 10:30 p.m.
It will be hosted at the Middletown Fire Hall on Green Street with enough room for 250 guests – many more than last year's event at the Chesapeake City Inn, which sold out.
There will be an open bar, buffet, and performances by The Chatterband.
"It really exciting," Ferguson said. "We have 358 businesses in the chamber, which is awesome since we're a small town."
Tickets are $75 for members and $95 for non-members.
For ticket information, visit the Chamber's website at www.middletownareachamber.com.
