OMAK Despite the snow, Okanogan County Community Action Council saw dozens of people turn out for its "afternoon of services" event Thursday to help the homeless and others in need.
"I think it went great," Executive Director Lael Duncan said.
Although an exact count wasn't available by Chronicle press time, "we had more turnout than we've had in recent years, and we were able to identify a number of people who were homeless and help them," she said.
Eighteen local and state organizations set up booths at the Community Presbyterian Church, 9 S. Birch St. — from Okanogan County Public Health to WorkSource, the state Department of Licensing and the Oroville Housing Authority.
Expressions Hair Design sent two stylists to provide free haircuts, and volunteers served sandwiches, coffee and chili donated by Subway, The Pumphouse Coffee Co. and St. Anne's Episcopal Church, respectively.
St. Anne's Episcopal Church member Jody Olson said she volunteered for the afternoon of services when it first began several years ago.
"I think it's an incredible opportunity for people who are struggling to come and find the resources that they need and to get a hot meal," she said. "I wish more people could take advantage of it."
Susan Zierlein of Omak, who is not homeless but came to browse the clothes for her privately run children's free clothing bank, Open Wings, said she heard of the event through word of mouth.
"I was kind of interested to see how they did this," she said, glancing around the room. She said she thought the event was a good idea.
Some people took the opportunity to get information on potential jobs.
"We contract through various agencies to help people find work," Career Path Services employment associate Lee Root said, adding that "we usually make connections with a few folks" at these events.
"I do want to commend Okanogan County Community Action for spearheading this event," WorkSource employment-outreach specialist Nancy Nash-Mendez said. "Homelessness is a problem that we have to look at as a community, and this is a great place to be a community and provide for our community members who are in need."
Shane Barton, a representative for Okanogan County Veterans Services, said that within the first hour of the event he was able to help a veteran find an apartment.
"It's really not a high population because most veterans don't like to ask for help," he said concerning the number of people he has helped connect with benefits.
However, he said Veterans Services helped bring $1.9 million in benefits to Okanogan County veterans last year, and $80,000 already this year.
"There are a lot of people who are service connected and don't even know it," said George Crossland, who helps veterans through WorkSource. "Many, many people have not ever asked. It was not the culture of the time."
The Support Center, which advocates for crime victims and provides temporary shelter if needed at a house in Omak, was on hand with pamphlets. Executive Director Margo Amelong said only a handful of people had stopped.
"It's information that sometimes people are reluctant to pick up," she said. "Many women and children who are homeless are due to domestic violence, so I think it's important to be here to tell people about our services."
Part of the purpose of the event was to gather information for the annual point-in-time count for the homeless, which officially begins Jan. 24.
Information collected from the county's homeless population goes into a statewide system. Duncan said the Community Action Council surveys food banks the week the count begins, and help also comes from housing providers, emergency agencies and school districts.
"Our biggest challenge is the signatures for release of information. A lot of people feel insecure about releasing their information to the government," she said.
Local agencies can use the information to qualify for funding to help people who either find themselves without shelter or in an insecure living situation, such as sleeping on a friend's couch.
"Once housing is stabilized, then everything else tends to fall into place in terms of finding employment, getting restful sleep," Duncan said. "The normal range of activities for people becomes easier."
Okanogan County has kicked in $30,000 this year to help Community Action Council with emergency housing.
"They're the funds that come to us by virtue of recording fees, when people record a marriage or a mortgage," Duncan said. "It's a direct benefit to clients who need housing, who are at imminent risk of homelessness. In the past, we've used some for rental assistance to keep people from being evicted."
She said $30,000 doesn't cover the total cost, nor do the funds from other sources, but it helps.
"We always need more. It seems like there's never enough," she said. "We have definitely seen a reduction in homelessness as a result of all of our efforts. There's not as many homeless, but there still are people struggling to stabilize their housing."
The county also provided funding to the Oroville Housing Authority, $30,000; The Support Center in Okanogan, $25,000; Okanogan County Behavioral HealthCare, $30,000; and the Housing Authority of Okanogan County, $40,000.
"Homelessness is a growing issue that we all need to be more aware of," Commissioner Sheilah Kennedy said. "The treasurer's report to the commissioners, the recent tax foreclosure sale was the largest number of parcels in our history, 37 of the 40 parcels sold. That reality is shocking to me and should make us all concerned of the stability and future of our county."
Duncan said other service-providing events for the homeless will be hosted around the county in the coming months. The last afternoon of services, Oct. 22 in Tonasket, drew about 50 people.

Online play is very good for all three systems, but drawn out games on the PSP can grow tiresome and both of the minor consoles don't support SCOUT. SCOUT (SportsConnect Online User Tracking) allows gamers to save their online gaming preferences and settings to the MLB server. Then the system will look for a Quick Match within the online community in order to find players that will be a good fit. The SCOUT option is available from almost any screen and can be easily changed or shut off. All in all, online play mirrors last year's 30 team Online League Play and MLB score ticker. I also really liked the ability to download up-to-date rosters via MLB Live Rosters. This function allows the game to stay current on your favorite team's acquisitions, player attributes, and player injury status. This definitely ups the overall authenticity level of the game.
The graphics are very good for both the PS2 and PSP. However, they are fantastic for the PS3 version. Players and stadiums look very good on the minor consoles and do a good job of bringing you into the game, but the quality of the player facial models on the PS3 and the eerily realistic animations are phenomenal. The PS3 supports up to 1080p, but it is optimized for outputting at 720p. In addition to the visual quality, the commentary is amazingly deep. The Three-Man Booth and Progressive Commentary by Rex Hudler, Matt Vasgersian, and Dave Campbell makes it feel as if you're actually listening to a game. Every team and every stadium will trigger specific dialogue that is both insightful and engaging. The comments do get repetitive after a while, but even still you'll want to crank up the volume because it adds so much to the overall feel of the game.
The PSP has some unique features that make the game very handheld friendly. You can now access MP3 tracks from your memory card. That means you can jam to your own tunes by making custom playlists. This doesn't have much bearing during play, but menu cruising and mini-games such as King of the Diamond will be a bit more aurally appealing. Also, and more importantly, you'll be able to save the game at anytime and return to it when you're ready. That means you can save between innings or even between pitches, whatever your situation dictates. The PSP's standby feature is nice, but now there's no more worrying about forgetting to finish before your battery runs out. This feature will come in handy time and again. The PS2 game is really just a scaled down version of the PS3's. That means the graphics and overall presentation suffers, but load times are much shorter, and the menu organization seems to be much more user-friendly. Also, the rumble function of the Dual-Shock 2 controller is a really nice touch when entering pressure situations. This feature is not available with the Sixaxis, which is unfortunate.
The controls are identical for the PS2 and PS3 versions. It is incredibly easy to access all of the in-game data, hit dingers, advance runners, steal bases, slide, field, throw, pitch, etc. There is a steep learning curve for the uninitiated, but savvy sports game aficionados will be satisfied with the deep and varied options available. The PSP on the other hand is not nearly as good. However, you will still be able perform most of the functions and will still admire the level of control to be found even on the handheld.
Bottom-line: As far as I'm concerned, Sony has made the best baseball game ever. Last year's version seemed tough to beat, but after playing all three versions I can safely say that MLB 08: The Show rocks. Is this a must-buy game for everyone? Definitely not. However, if you're looking for an authentic simulation of the national pastime, then look no further. No other franchise can match MLB 08: The Show. It's too bad it's only made for Sony products because the attention to detail and incredibly realistic gameplay to be found in the title, combined with some great new features make this the baseball game of the year.

"Amazing experience, very professional & safe guides, great kit" We were recommended this company by our first choice - aguadventura - who were oversubscribed. I cannot rate them highly enough. Our group size was really small, 5 with 2 guides. When you compare this to the enormous groups of 20+ - all trekking up in a slow procession, which looked really dull, I think we had a great deal!
alice_beverly // UK - Tripadvisor
"Very Profesional, Great experience, best Value!" We climbed the Villarrica Volcano with this agency, and I must say that the experience was superlative. From the beginning John Barriga, the manager, gave us a very precise and professional briefing on how our journey was going to be. We were taken on a bus to the foot mountain and set off for our adventure. The guides are excellent and the clothing and other equipment we had, were very good. This agency is not the cheapest of the city, but it is certainly one of the best, if not the best of Pucon.

Watching it now. You have the same phone that I do at my desk around the 1:30 mark!ReplyDelete
I love that phone for the film simply because when the voicemail is empty, it says, "You have no message." This seemed appropriate for the character...
I got some ribbing from folks about the outgoing message on the machine, though, with the obviously artificial "555-", since it's not essential that his number be on the message. But anything that heightened the artificiality seemed good to me, though in some ways that may have been a bit too obviously fake. It's good for a chuckle, perhaps.
Thanks for taking a look at it!

My buddy, Dave Fitch responded to another friend, Ed Stetzer on Ed's "assault" on the "mega church sheep stealing critique".
I love'em both, but probably agree with Fitch's argument more than Ed's.
That's not what this post is about.
Rather, its about the imagery. Of livestock. As a metaphor for the people in the pews.
"Hey, Kinnon. It's biblical."
Indeed, madam. You are correct! Sheep as a metaphor for God's people is, in fact, to be found in the Scriptures.
Sheep were highly valued. Then.
Think of Jesus' story of the one lost sheep, and the shepherd who left the 99 to search for that one.
How quaint.
I would suggest we view sheep with much less value today — if we view them at all.
And what of the shepherds? Well, then they were were possibly the lowest of the gainfully employed. (Think of Jesse not even considering having his youngest son, David, the shepherd, come to be consecrated by Samuel.) Shepherds lived with their sheep. They smelled like their sheep. They knew each one by name. A single shepherd tended no more than 100 sheep in New Testament times.
Today, returning to the church livestock metaphor, a shepherd (or pastor, in its latinate form) with only 100 sheep would be considered a failure. And how could any "successful" shepherd be expected to know all of "his/her" sheep.
Might I suggest the metaphor breaks down in its present usage within the church. And that this misused/misunderstood metaphor is responsible for much damaging separation between those who call themselves shepherds and "their" sheep — as if the shepherds are their owners. (Sheep cannot be stolen — except from their owners.)
Might I further suggest that the use of the phrase "sheep-stealing" is particularly bizarre amongst those who call us to be missionally-minded.
The reality is that we are all sheep. Or none of us are. (Shall we save the goats for another conversation?)
UPDATE: My buddy and City of God blogger, Dan Gouge ramps this up a notch or eleven with The Factory Farms of Christianity.

Good evening everyone ,
I am writing this post to ask you guys if you can help me on this very basic program .
I am still a student in programming and a beginner with arrays and i am asked to create a program that creates random elements of arrays between 0 and 9 , and inside every box of these arrays a random number between 0 and 100 and finally to calculate the sum of these numbers , example
6 random elements of an array are generated , inside each one of these elements a certain value is created , then i shall add these value and print the value.
Now as i said i am still a beginner in java so i know this program is messed up but at least i tried i hope you guys can help me , thank you :
public class arrays { public static void main(String[] args) { double x = 0 ; double [] numbers = {x*(Math.random()*10)}; double result = sumLessThanAverage(numbers); System.out.println(result); } public static double sumLessThanAverage(double[]a){ double x = 0; double sum = 0; double count=0; x = x * Math.random()*101; for ( int i = 0 ; i<= a.length-1 ; i++){ a[i] = x; sum += x; x = x * Math.random()*101; count ++; } return sum; } }

There's been speculation for a while about Google working on a pair of high-tech specs (not pictured above) that would literally present information right in front of your eyes. If a New York Times report is to be believed, these augmented reality glasses could be nestling neatly on our faces before the end of the year.
So who's been talking to the NYT about Google's spec-based project? Several employees directly involved in the enterprise, the report says, though of course they spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Android-based glasses will apparently feature a 3G or 4G data connection, GPS functionality, motion sensors and a built-in digital camera. We certainly like the sound of the built-in camera — how many times have you missed a special moment because you were fumbling around in your bag looking for your darn smartphone? Soon the camera will be on your head with the viewfinder already in place. Perfect.
The report says the camera would also be able to monitor the wearer's surroundings in real time, overlaying useful information about, for example, the local area.
The futuristic glasses would likely work with a number of existing Google products — Google Latitude, Maps and Goggles are all mentioned in the NYT report.
According to a 9to5Google report earlier this month, the Mountain View company's new gadget will look similar to a pair of Oakley Thumps (below), with the addition of a number of buttons located on the arms of the spectacles. The same report also suggested that the overlaid data can be scrolled through with a simple yet subtle tilt of the head. "We are told it is very quick to learn and once the user is adept at navigation, it becomes second nature and almost indistinguishable to outside users," 9to5Google said.
Google founder Sergey Brin is thought to be closely involved in the project, which will hopefully culminate in the glasses going on sale before the end of this year. As for cost, it's hard to say. "Around the price of current smartphones," say the sources, which hardly narrows it down.
It's exciting to hear that these so-called Terminator specs could soon be a reality, though whether consumers take to them is another matter. Fancy a pair?

Sports Notebook
Records are meant to be broken. That was clear on a historic night for high school sports Tuesday in Kewanee.
The first record fell in Good's Gym as Kewanee senior Mark Breedlove earned the 122nd victory of his high school wrestling career — a first-period pin of Erie-Prophetstown's Darius Owens in their 138-pound match.
The win lifted Breedlove past his brother Adam's previous mark of 121 wins.
"It meant a lot because my brother had it before and he taught me a lot of what I know," said Breedlove of setting the new mark. "He's one of the biggest people I look up to in wrestling — him and my dad — so breaking that record felt really good."
Mark said he's joked with Adam about breaking the record.
"Records are meant to be beaten and I think he's glad that it was by me instead of someone else," said Breedlove.
"Not a lot of kids get to be like him and come in their freshman year and make a positive impact on the varsity," said KHS wrestling coach Charley Eads.
And another milestone is within sight as Breedlove's KHS career winds down.
"He has a chance to be only the second guy with 40 wins in a season," said Eads.
Heavyweight Matt Jenkin finished with a 40-3 record in the 1990-91 season.
Just hours later, Wethersfield junior guard Trevor Lay was busy putting his name in the school's record book.
Lay erupted for 49 points to break Wethersfield's single-game scoring mark, which belonged to career scoring leader Nathan Kohler.
Kohler dropped 47 points in an overtime battle with Putnam County in Wethersfield's Thanksgiving tournament in 2008.
Lay scored early and often for the Geese, tallying 14 points in the first quarter and 16 more in the second to lead the Geese to a 54-30 bulge at the break.
Lay surpassed the record in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter as the Geese polished off a 100-68 rout of the Spartans.
"First, I have to thank all of my teammates for this. I couldn't have done it without them,'' said Lay in a postgame interview with Argus-Dispatch reporter Terry Duckett. "Personally, I wasn't thinking about (the record) until the fourth quarter; I don't know if the guys thought about it or not. I just wanted to do what I could for the team, and it just so happened I got the record."
"It was one of the best offensive performances I've seen in my career," said Wethersfield coach Jeff Parsons.
In addition to 49 points, Lay had 12 assists and seven steals for the 17-3 Geese. He finished the night 18 of 24 from the floor, including three 3-pointers, and 10 of 14 from the free-throw line.
"Those are just silly numbers," said Parsons.
The WHS coach said congratulatory tweets and texts came in a steady stream for Lay after the game, including one from Kohler.
"He was very humbled by it," said Parsons. "All he wants to do is win. That's all Trevor cares about."
Wethersfield's first 100-point game since 1979
Lay's 49 points led Wethersfield to its first 100-point game in more than 30 years.
The triple digits output sent the Star Courier's Rocky Stuffelbeam to the Wethersfield hoops archives. His research determined the Geese last reached the century mark in January of 1979 with a 103-65 win over Farmington.
Point guard Daryl Bond led the Geese with 27 points, followed by Mike Smith with 22, Ronnie Reed with 17 and Mike Pillen with 12.
Joining Lay in double figures Tuesday night was Kegan Jacobson with 13 points.
Against Ridgewood, the Geese shot 38 of 65 from the floor (58 percent), including 10 of 17 from the 3-point line and 14 of 19 from the free-throw line.

Who woulda thunk it? Image: RamblinWreck.com
The Yellow Jackets are 4-1/2-0, and they control their fortune in the ACC Coastal division. Nix/Gailey *finally* wised up and realized that they have one of the most dominating players in college football on their team in Calvin Johnson. Against VT, Reggie Ball completed 9 passes and six of them went to Calvin.
GT fans should be giddy; although not all are. Everyone else in their division already has a loss, and GT holds the tie breaker with VT now. They have games remaining against:
- Maryland (home) - Gailey has faired very well vs. Fridge in ATL. Plus, Maryland is very slow, and they struggled to beat FIU 14-10 this week.
- Clemson (Road) - Your typical GT vs. CU game with a 7 point or less finish
- Miami (home) - a team in turmoil that can't throw well enough to take advantage of GT's mediocre secondary.
- NCSU (road) - they rarely lose at State.
- UNC (road) - Bunting is all but gone. UNC may only have 1 Div I-A win by this time.
- Duke (home) - Duke lost to a horrible UVA team 37-0.
- Georgia (road) - Another team that needs to work on its passing game to take advantage of GT's secondary.
VT still has games remaining against Clemson (home) and Miami (road) further strengthening GT's chances at a trip to Jacksonville for the ACC title game. A Tech vs. Clemson rematch in Jacksonville looms...especially since CU doesn't play Miami this year while BC still has Miami, VT and FSU.
More on GT:
-- Nathan at AOL's GT site, is up in arms with GT being listed behind VT in the Coaches' Poll. Fair enough.

Snow comes in so many textures, shapes, and sizes, and the type you are skiing in varies every time you go out.
Sometimes, when we're really lucky, all the atmospheric conditions align to give us what some call "champagne powder." This is the re-ally dry, light, blow-over-your-face snow that makes us scream at the top of our lungs, "Yahoo!"
When skis were skinny, and I was a strapping young lad, I was fortunate enough to ski this exotic delight many a time. When I taught ski skills at B.C.'s Fernie resort, we bought snorkels at the local sporting goods store to help us breathe. Skinny skis and heavy boys meant getting sucked down into the powder.
Since then, skis have got wider, and the average powder skier will be much more buoyant. But when the dry, fluffy stuff drops, we need to adjust our technique ever so slightly to have a successful day. You will find there is one main difference: there is no base beneath your skis. Edges don't help much, but rolling the skis in a slow, smooth movement is the right way to link together good turns.
You need to use your feet, knees and hips to gently guide your skis where you want them to go. Flexing your ankles will get your weight over the ski and add some notice-able power into each turn. Your hips will help drive your knees and skis out of the fall line and into the next turn. The only firmness I suggest you have is a core stability that stops you from going too far forward or back-ward.
Keeping centred helps to keep your body mass balanced. This will encourage fluidity and allow for nice, smooth, deep-snow turns. When you unweight in soft snow, the movement is slower and more exaggerated. If you push down too forcefully, you will simply compact the snow under you - you won't go up. Think of the action as gently hopping on broken glass. Nothing too sudden.
Your hands and arms will assist in this unweighting action. Swinging them in a smooth, rhythmic pattern will help. Raise them up to shoulder height from a lower position near your waist before your pole plant.
Overall, it is important not to rush or jam these turns. Wait until you get good speed before even trying to turn. I notice this mistake often with novice powder hounds. Pray for a day like this coming to your ski hill soon.

614 is out.
I totally didn't expect this death coming, or maybe it'll be like with Kakashi, who was revived with Rinne Tensei?
I can't help but think Madara will betray Obito sometime in the future (or the other way around), anyone else thinks so?

I would have to say that it is probably going to happen, but somehow Madara will turn the betrayal around since I really see him as more of a major villain then Tobi is. I think we could surmise their relationship was not the best just from the backstory that they had together though, now at least we have some actual confirmation of it.

Well, seems like someone's grown balls. Killing one of the young ones is certainly pretty daring - and he was a fairly developed character as well. Good job Kishi.
This chapter would have been perfect for me if Tobi didn't mention Rinnei Tensei - Why, oh why, do I get this awful feeling that all this good work will be wasted in just one go.

Ah finally one of the younger generation good guys dying..
A bit anti climatic and rushed given how long he dragged out Obito's back story and gave Neji only half a chapter. Also ironic how Neji can't spin faster enough to deflect the mokuton spears but is fast enough to jump in the way of a spear heading towards Naruto and Hinata.

After next chapter obito betrays madara and revives everyone in the alliance because obito is converted to narutism the same way nagato was converted. Naruto also will wipe his tears leaving obito surprised that he didn't get depressed or go into a rage like obito expects

^ Don't jinx it man!! Finally he dug up some courage to kill off important - or rather named - characters. (Although, from my post above, I too think its gonna be that way *sigh* But for now, I want to believe)

Neji dying was unexpected but maybe Kishi didn't want to give Neji much panel time in the future so he decided to sacrifice him in this chapter.
Ten Tails wood release being used from its fingers reminded me of when Kimimaro fired bone from his fingers.

Kishimoto kills named characters only when there's a good reason, not randomly in the war, for that he kills only noname people.
The important advancement in the story is that now we know what is blocking both Madara and Obito to proceed as they wanted, it's inevitable that they end up in a conflict, lucky for the alliance and Naruto. If i understood correctly for Madara to succeed he needs Obito to sacrifice his life in exchange for Madara's life, so Madara can become the host of the 10-tails. For Obito to succeed he needs Madara not to use his meteor jutsu or simply the 10-tails' chakra ball on themselves. It seems the idea of Obito trying to make of Naruto a next himself by killing everyone might be true, but in the end if he can't break Naruto he will finally betray Madara. I like this idea not only because it's epic and because this way every named character can be killed, but also because of what Naruto said in the past: he promised Nagato that he will be able to bear all the tragedy and sadness of losing his friends and despite that he will not lose his will whatever happens. So Kishimoto should show us that it wasn't just bullshit and put Naruto to the big test of his life. Maybe at the end of the test Obito will even ask Naruto to choose what he wants: end the world or save it, and this was also in the prophecy of the great elder frog, that the savior will have to choose between ending the world or saving it. Then Naruto will temporarily gain the ability of the rinnegan to revive all who died here (including Neji), either because incomplete Obito's 10-tails has a bit of chakra left to do it or because Naruto will be able to use all the chakra that the tailed beasts have given him when they met. The other possibility is too repetitive for my taste: Obito redeems himself by using his rinnegan to revive everybody, just like Nagato did.

start thinkin bout clones
I really hope obito doesnt nagato it and bring everyone back. Obito seems more far off in terms of ideals. Nagato wanted peace by force, obito wants peace by control. So he seems he will not even allow anyone to tell him differently, even madara. Obito is a diffrent cat, he needs to be dealt with via death. Seems the only way. Kakashi needs to finally let that piece of him go and what better way then by killing him.
Good that kimish is actually killing people though, not to weed them out, but to show hes playing for keeps this arc and not keeping characters around just because. Sets up naruto and hinata, which I hope stays. Sakura was always meant to be with sasuke, should remain that way.

Young people think the penalties for sexting and cyber bullying are too harsh, a survey has found.
The questionnaire of 1000 NSW students aged between 12 and 17 found most believed people under the age of 18 should never be charged with child pornography or put on the sex offender register for peer-to-peer sexting.
They agree that sexting and cyber bullying should be against the law, but believe other penalties would be more effective.
The New Laws/New Voices project was conducted by the Children's Legal Service (CLS) and the National Childrens and Youth Law Centre (NCYLC) at UNSW.
The survey asked students to share their opinions about criminal law relating to texting and online bullying.
Over two thirds, or 68.3 per cent, of respondents said knowing certain online behaviour was illegal made them less likely to engage in it.
A similar number (66.3 per cent) believed this also made them feel more confident about being able to deal with these issues.
The Children's Legal Service, the youth arm of Legal Aid, and the National Children's and Youth Law Centre have used the report to make 10 recommendations about providing better education and reforming the laws and penalties associated with online interactions.
"We are dealing with young people who are too afraid to go to police for help for fear of being charged with these very serious offences," said NCYLC director Matthew Keeley.
"Law makers need to take note."

Zavadnikov's 'Team Synergy' Further Confirms Lead In Gaeta At 2013 Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series
13 April 2013
Gaeta, Italy - The Race Committee took full advantage of Saturday's heated conditions to deliver three incredible races at the 2013 Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series in Gaeta. As proof, each race presented a different winner. Lanfranco Cirillo's Fantastica took charge early to win Race One. Roberto Tomasini Grinover displayed his Robertissima might by winning Race Two, and Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino championed the final race of the day.
Despite the various race winners, Valentin Zavadnikov at the helm of Team Synergy continues his firm grip on the lead after a great day of competition on the Gulf of Gaeta. On the eve of the final day of racing, the star-studded Russian team has a nine point advantage over a brilliant Edoardo Pavesio on Fra Martina in second overall - the fierce fighter of last year's great season finale, and a solid ten over third place finisher Edoardo Lupi's Torpyone.
The fourth to seventh place seated teams will battle for a potential spot on the podium. Amongst those in contention include Andrea Pozzi on Bombarda, Naofumi Kamei on Mamma Aiuto! and the great Carlo Alberini on his powerful Calvi Network Melges 32.
The 2013 Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series, organized by B-Plan Sport&Events in full collaboration with the International Melges 32 Class Association, Melges Europe and Yacht Club Gaeta EVS, will be back in action tomorrow commencing at 11.00. Three final races are planned with a cut off start time of 14.30 Italy time.
The Sailing Series continues its test drive tradition in 2013. At every event, the Audi Quattro Instructors will be available to guide all those interested in experiencing some of the most recent Audi models. The Audi A3 SB, RS5, SQ5 and S6 Avant will be available in Gaeta. For more information and test drive bookings, please call 345.3472530 or send an email to the Audi Quattro Experience.
In addition to title sponsor Audi, the 2013 Sailing Series is supported by official sponsor AstiHour, a very refreshing fruit cocktail that will be served during happy hours at the Audi Hospitality Village. Other sponsors include Kuehne+Nagel, Yeykey, Helly Hansen, and SimBroker e Nacora.
B-Plan Sport&Events is committed to greater visibility and appeal of the 2013 Audi Sailing Series. The event has 3 newly renovated websites: www.audisailingseries.com, www.audisailingteam.it, www.bpse.it - and a new Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/AudiSailingSeries. Updates are also being posted as the racing happens at the Official Facebook Page of the International Melges 32 Class Association too!
Press releases are distributed in three languages - Italian, English and German - written and released at the end of each day. All photos will be posted online at melges32.com thanks to a renewed collaboration with Studio Borlenghi. Zerogradinord will produce interviews and video highlights available on the Official Audi Sailing Series YouTube Circuit Channel.

Intro (by Chi Ali)
Dag, I wish I was like Jordan
So I could just fly through the air no one could ever stop me
Or, or like Mike Mike Tyson
So I could just knock people's heads off
Naaw, more like Prince
So I could pull all the honeys
Well a brother like Chi Ali is pullin all the honeys anyway
But still, it would be nice
First Verse
What's goin on kid?
At times I dress to be in
I see you grinnin I'm beginnin to think that we're friends
And if we are friends, then we are far from fools
So I will then kiss and
Let you into my sphere cool
Now listen I'm known, as a Black Sheep
And if you try to pull the cover
And attempt to sleep
You won't get rest naaaah
You can not sleep on this
For I make noise... See
But anyway, I
It's where I live and though therefore I pray with hay>
I live on nonetheless
I've got my body and my intellect
I'm buddha blessed
Now my chalantness
Or rather lack of this
You call the spade a spade
Well I will call the spade a kiss
Butt in the meantime
You try to
And if the source
I get a verbal bat
Until I get through
That we are rich with wealth
Can you understand that you should be yourself?
Chorus > repeats twice
'Bah bah Black Sheep' repeated three
Have you. N. E. Pull / times
Or are you full of sheep
Tryin to pull the wool
Second Verse
What's goin on black?
You want a hand to smack
Well I can never be all that
So I will give you daps
I do the 'Hey yo'
Your girl is on the strobe?
Oh no that's kind of trip
But gee I gotta go
You see it's not the style of me
So I'm not mending
And I won't pull you leg
Nor start pretending
To be a fair weather
With a plea to come
Cause you never let me hold your
You see it's like this I'll start explaining
Dres is down with self maintaining
Don't say I can't, I know that I can
Black Sheep rule, me and my man
Or my man and I, Mista Lawnge and Dres
Baby sounds are in the sphere
Better do as Chris says
As for me, to say just how
You didn't know me then
So you could never know me now
Third verse
What's goin on hon?
You say you're out for fun
I got a pocket full of posies
You say I got a fun
Then take a step back
Away from Flipper
I'd rather shoot you with the joint
Inside my zipper
But not to be fresh
For then I lose the groove
I'd rather see you smile
And move your booty smooth
Then I get to know ya
Got things to show ya
Is there the chance
Of me gettin over
And over and over and over and over again
Now tell me
Are you gonna let me in
For it's gettin hot
What I have have not
Give me a second though
I have a mansion and a yacht
A caddy for my daddy
Somethin new for mom too
A coat for Mista Lawnge
And some hook-ers for the crew
Honey don't get mad
You know my love is greater
But, I'll dig you later
'i can dig it' > repeated six times
With gradually decreasing emphasis

As you know a lot of us here in the states have not had much rain this year. Well some of us will soon be or are now getting lots of rain.
When tropical storm Isaac first got going they were predicting that it would not hit Louisiana but go more towards Florida and up the East side of the US. I told my family that since this storm was named after my son, his middle name is Isaac, that we would be blessed with some of the rain from it. Well guess what, even though it was the least likely modeled path, here comes Isaac.
Of course Mr. Boo is excited that the rain is coming since the storm is named after him. We have also been praying for the people in New Orleans and other parts of Louisiana. Hopefully most of them were smart enough to get out this time. I mean Katrina hit 7 years ago to the day that Isaac hit. Hello!! At our house we never sing rain rain go away. We sing "Rain Rain Come This Way, Please Stay and Rain All Day!" So in honor of the rain here are some poems and images I found. Enjoy.
And you can't have rain without one of these. Breath taking isn't it!!

Editor's note: This is the third day of stories in Foster's Daily Democrat's annual Six Days of Christmas series. This year we asked readers to share with us their funniest kids' Christmas story.
By Samantha Allen
ROCHESTER — For Rochester resident Greg Sawyer, Christmas is a time of magic, largely because of his two young daughters.
"For young kids, the season is so magical," he said. "There's so much to it. We do the house decorating. Getting the tree is usually a kind of fun occasion."
But, this time of year, Sawyer said he and his wife, Tracee, tend to notice the somewhat mischievous sides of their children — Molly, 7, and Maryanne, 5 — which brings back some old memories.
"They're showing signs of being kind of snoopy and I was thinking, 'We hide our presents in the bathroom of the master bedroom, (too)," Sawyer said.
Growing up in the late 1970s in Fairfield, Calif., around the time he was 10, Sawyer said he found a very clever way of finding out exactly what his mother had planned for Christmas gifts. He would sneak into the household's master bedroom bathroom through an outside window on the first floor, and go through her secret stash.
"This is a story that gets retold quite often by my mother around Christmas time," he said. "As a child, I had become quite adept at finding where the Christmas gifts were hidden before being wrapped and placed under the tree."
Sawyer explained when his mom, Joanne, would leave the house, she would lock the bathroom door, but he knew exactly how to trip the lock on the outside window and secretly enter the room of wonder.
Sawyer said, on a few occasions, he sneaked in to play with his cherished wish list item, supposed to remain a surprise, a starter electric guitar.
"My technique proved useful on more than a few occasions, but like any mischievous kid, I got (confident)," he joked. "I let down my guard. I failed to focus on the details. And in any crime, the devil is in the details."
Noting California has a very different winter season compared to New Hampshire, Sawyer said at this time of year, the ground turns to mud, and he didn't think of how that would corrupt his perfect plan.
One day, when his mother left to do a little more Christmas shopping, Sawyer sneaked outside, hopped up onto the window, unlocked it, and slipped down into the bathroom, stepping on the toilet carefully. After some time of playing with the prized guitar, he swiftly escaped back out the window, stepping onto porcelain before hoisting himself up with some assistance from the room's pristine white walls.
"Upon returning home …, my mother quickly dragged the bags to the master bedroom … while I peered out my bedroom door, trying to catch a glimpse of (her) bags, forming hypotheses about the contents," Sawyer said. "All clear as far as I was concerned, until a blood curdling scream, 'Gregory Erwin Sawyer! You get in here right now!'"
He recalls the tale with a smile today, saying he couldn't believe he was so careless as to leave muddy footprints all over the bathroom while exiting the crime scene.
"The jig was up," he said. "No further questions, Your Honor. Game over."
Sawyer said this year, he is surprising his mother by reading this story in Foster's. He said, while at the time he didn't feel so merry, the family story has made an impression on all his relatives during the holiday season, especially his two children. He said two find the story "hilarious."
Sawyer added if one of his girls pulled off such a stunt today, he may be upset for the time, but he would eventually be fairly impressed with his child's ingenuity.
"Secretly, I'd be thinking, 'That's pretty impressive,'" he said.

When you think of the word "king," what comes to mind? Power? Prestige? Glory? Here is one word you might not associate with being a king: rejection. Yet the connection between the two is especially important throughout Scripture. King David was not the first king of Israel, but the second. And prior to Saul being selected as the first king, another king was actually rejected. How so? When the prophet Samuel entered old age, his sons were appointed judges over the people. Alas, they proved to be corrupt, accepting bribes and "perverting justice" (1 Sm 8:3). The elders of Israel demanded that Samuel appoint a king "over us, as other nations have, to judge us." This upset Samuel, who prayed to God about the demand. The response given to him was quite significant: "Grant the people's every request," God told the prophet. "It is not you they reject, they are rejecting me as their king" (1 Sm 8:7). God allowed the people to have an earthly king, but warned them that "if you do not obey the Lord and if you rebel against his command, the Lord will deal severely with you and your king, and destroy you" (1 Sm 12:15). In sum, earthly kings cannot compare to the One, True King.
Saul proved to be a failure, despite some early success. David was much better — a man after God's own heart (1 Sm 13:14; Acts 13:22) — but hardly a perfect man. Solomon began in spectacular fashion and ended in spectacular spiritual ruin. David remained the benchmark, for he managed to consolidate Israel as a cohesive nation and powerful kingdom. The later writings of prophets are filled with the anticipation of another, future David — a ruler who would revive the golden age of Israel and free the people from oppression.
Jesus had to address and overcome that political and material perspective as he went about revealing that he was the heir of David, the true King and the awaited Messiah. It was not an easy task, and it involved plenty of rejection. First, Jesus had to reject attempts to forcefully make him a king after the desires of the crowds (see Jn 6:15). Then he had to respond to the accusations and questions about his kingdom. When asked by Pilate, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus replied cryptically: "You say so" (Lk 23:3). He then offered a reasonable point: "My kingship is not of this world; if my kingship were of this world, my servants would fight…" (Jn 18:36).
As Pope Pius XI stated in Quas Primas ("In the First"), his encyclical that introduced the feast of Christ the King, the kingdom of Christ "is spiritual and is concerned with spiritual things." This kingdom "demands of its subjects a spirit of detachment from riches and earthly things, and a spirit of gentleness. They must hunger and thirst after justice, and more than this, they must deny themselves and carry the cross."
But, at the cross, we must choose between two very different kings and kingdoms. This is revealed so powerfully by the two thieves. Both were sinners looking directly at the King in their final moments of earthly life. The one thief could think only of himself, and so lashed out at Jesus with despairing mockery. But the other thief saw something in Jesus. He recognized an innocent man — even more, a King: "Jesus," he exclaimed, recognizing his own sinfulness, "remember me when you come into your kingdom." Rejected, God still loves. Rejected, Jesus still saves. Rejected, Christ is truly King!

Litchfield Mom Pleads Guilty to Trying to Smother Baby
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Litchfield woman accused of trying to smother her infant son by pinching his nose shut has pleaded guilty to domestic assault by strangulation.
Twenty-four-year-old Katie Elaine Lewis wiped away tears as she entered her plea Friday. She's scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 20.
Defense attorney Michael Davis says he'll recommend a psychological evaluation for his client. He also says sentencing guidelines call for a stayed prison sentence of one year and one day.
Prosecutors say Lewis brought her 5-month-old to a hospital in May, telling hospital staff he would stop breathing, turn blue and pass out. Doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him.
The criminal complaint says hospital surveillance video later showed her pinching the boy's nose and covering his mouth, causing him to kick frantically before going limp.

Actually the fact that you've probably visited sites where religion was discussed increases your count of religious sites. The algorithms don't know why you were at those sites. But it's cool that religious sites help pay for the atheist site. Isn't that special!!
[Couple of years ago I was reading a news article about a judge convicted of bribery. At the bottom of the page came one of those auction site ads (don't remember which site) which declared "buy judges now on sitex.com"] Love it.
I could care less.My understanding (and I could be wrong) is similar to that which Loren stated. They're advertisements done in conjunction with the host site for A|N. Besides, if posting ads for "Christian Singles," "Billy Graham Crusades," or "How to Become an Ordained Minister - Amaze Your Friends and Terrify Your Enemies" helps pay for a bunch of atheists to get together, I think it's funny. Kind of like having your soon-to-be ex-spouse pay for your divorce.
I barely notice them anyway I'm certainly not going to click on them.
I agree; let them spend their advertising money here.
Like Loren, I use Firefox and Adblock Plus (and also NoScript); it makes for a much calmer web experience!
It bothers me a little, but my thoughts are like Prog Rock Girl's. I'm glad they're wasting their time and money here. That means they will have less influence in other places.
I also agree with Loren. Firefox is a good thing to use. I'm not using it until I get my new computer because I have a few problems with it as my computer is 5.5 years old.
It doesn't bother me. They're just wasting their time.

Klembara Excels in Opportunitiesby Clayton Randolph '16 • August 11, 2014 Share:
Grant Klembara '15 knows how to find an opening on the football field. He knows how to keep a receiver from touching the ball. What he doesn't know is his future career path.
Klembara spent eight-weeks of his summer as a marketing-business development intern with Allegient, an Indianapolis IT consulting firm. He was able to experience marketing, sales, social media, and even blogging with a top Indianapolis company.
Klembara relished the opportunity. "It was phenomenal," he said. "The people there were great and I really enjoyed the stuff I was doing. Hopefully I'll cross paths with them sometime soon."
Those paths could cross very soon. Klembara left a strong impression on his boss, Lindsey LaBerge, a marketing manager who wanted an intern to help foster new ideas. He was a perfect match.
"I literally thought the world of him," LaBerge said. "Grant's level of commitment stood out to me. I don't know if that has anything to do with him being an athlete or just having a lot going on at once, but he was extremely committed to Allegient and getting the job done and just being an all-around amazing employee."
Klembara is no stranger to the spotlight. The Dallas, Texas native was a four-year letterman in four sports during high school, while earning an appearance on the cover of Vype magazine - a national publication. When he arrived at Wabash, he had to prove he was worth the hype.
Klembara never saw the football field as a freshman. As a sophomore he played in five games. It was his junior season where the coaching staff saw a transformed player, ready to help the team in whatever capacity. Defensive Coordinator, B.J. Hammer, noticed the change immediately, and attributed it to Klembara's patience.
"He's a good leader," Hammer said. "It showed those underclassmen, and even upper classmen, not to quit. Grant battled and battled, never quit, worked his butt off, and it paid off for him. I think that in itself shows guys if they do that, they're going to get opportunities."
Klembara never looked back. After injuries to Tyler Holmes and Mason Zurek, he moved over to the offensive side of the football. He carried the ball 52 times, compiling nearly 400 yds.
And, just like on the football field, Klembara's work ethic spilled over to his internship. LaBerge feels athletes make good employees because of their time management skills.
"I think it has everything to do with his work ethic," LaBerge said. "I think to be a college athlete, you have to have a high level of commitment and the ability to multi-task while having a million things going on. I think he just had a high standard for himself in terms of getting things done."
Hammer echoed LaBerge's sentiments. "It strengthens your time management skills and leadership abilities. And Grant is not going to shy away from any task as an intern. He's going to work his tail off to be good at what he's doing there.
"Most companies I talk to that recruit our guys, like the fact they have done more than just be a student. The competitiveness involved in football is important because you are going to be in a challenging environment — whether in sales or a lawyer. Whatever you're doing you're going to be in a competitive environment, you need to thrive in that. I think that's helped Grant out a lot."
The Allegient internship opened Klembara's eyes to the possibilities. Marketing was not a career he ever considered.
"I think marketing fit well with my rhetoric degree, and I think in that sense I was more interested in marketing than other categories," Klembara said. "But marketing was not something where I said, 'I want to be a marketing director when I grow up.'"
He also realized he needed to gain as much knowledge as possible in order to be prepared for whatever career field he pursues.
"Allegient is a fantastic company, and it was one of those things where I was going to learn marketing but I was also going to learn sales and also going to learn what it's like to work in an office and interact with people," Klembara said. "I felt the opportunity was too good to pass up.
"Those skills will help me no matter what facet of business I want to go in to. Not so much that I want to be a in marketing the rest of my life, but it also is one of those things I appreciate the internship and think it will help guide me."
Klembara is LaBerge's second Wabash intern and there is just something different about the way Wabash students go about completing their jobs.
"I've had other interns from other colleges when I was in different states, and they did not have that same level of commitment," LaBerge said. "I think it has to do with, I don't know what the quote would be, but just a Wabash Man. It is an ingrained level of professionalism that you instill in the men at your college."
As for that career path, Klembara is unsure where he will wind up. But he does have thoughts on what he wants to do after school.
"Lately I've been narrowing down some decisions I need to make after college," said Klembara. "One would be a dual degree in business and law. I could see myself attending a law or business school for about four years. After that, perhaps an oil and gas industry internship or starting my own business."

Trick or Treat! Trick or Treat! Make this fun group of trick or treaters from recycled things from around the house. Easy & inexpensive Halloween craft project. Easy for a preschool child with a tiny bit of help.
Items needed:
- Paper towel or t paper rolls
- Paper towels
- Masking tape
- Scissors
- Paint & brush
- Tacky fabric/paper glue
- Scraps of felt or foam
- If making a group of Trick or Treaters, first cut the rolls into lengths between 4 1/2 in. and 3 1/2 in., so that you have varying sizes/heights. Cutting parts should be done by an adult.
- Cut into the neck opening of each roll and make 1 in. cuts (slices) toward the center of the roll. These cuts should be about half an inch apart.
- Next, fold a full-size paper towel in half and then tear in half. Roll one of these halves into a ball and then place it in the center of the other towel half. Pull all ends together around the ball so that it now looks like a head and neck. Squeezing the neck together, tape securely with masking tape.
- Stand the paper roll on end and press the slit ends together slightly. Insert the paper towel "neck" into the opening and then press the "shoulder" area closed, while taping tighly with masking tape.
- If making a witch, use making tape to craft a nose. You can also make ears this way if you want.
- Decide what character you or your child want to make and what colors you will use. Paint all heads first and let dry thoroughly. Then paint all body sections.
- Cut felt or foam ears, hats, etc. and glue in place, letting dry thoroughly before handling.
- To make eyes, you can dip the end of a pencil tip or small paintbrush end into a dab of paint. First make white dots and let dry. Make smaller black dots with a toothpick or pinhead.
- Accessorize as desired. You can also add twig arms or pipecleaner arms and add little trick & treat containers.

- "...he knelt over Malfoy, drew his wand and traced it over the deep wounds Harry's curse had made, muttering an incantation that sounded almost like song. The flow of blood seemed to ease; Snape wiped the residue from Malfoy's face and repeated his spell. Now the wounds seemed to be knitting."
- —Description[src]
Vulnera Sanentur[1] is the song-like incantation of a healing spell and counter-curse to the Sectumsempra Spell, both of which were invented by Professor Severus Snape under his alias of "Half-Blood Prince"[3].
For maximum effect of the spell, the incantation had to be repeated thrice; firstly slowing the flow of blood to prevent death by exsanguination; the second to clear residue and begin to heal the wounds; and the third to fully knit the wounds, although dittany had to be applied to prevent scarring[3].
Known uses
- Albus Dumbledore healed a wound made to his hand in the Crystal Cave using what may have been this spell.
- Poppy Pomfrey repaired a nasty cut to Harry Potter's shoulder with what may have been this after he was attacked by a Hungarian Horntail in the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament[2]
- When Draco Malfoy was attacked by Harry using Sectumsempra, the damages inflicted were reversed by Severus Snape with his charm.[3]
Vulnera Sanentur derives from the Latin vulnus, "wound," (in which the roots of the English "vulnerable" may be seen)[4] and sanare, "to heal"; it is translated "may the wounds be healed."[5]
Behind the scenes
- Body parts that had been completely removed with Sectumsempra could not be restored even using this spell.[6]
- When Harry saw the damage inflicted onto Bill Weasley's face by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback, he suggested to Madam Pomfrey to heal him with a charm, being influenced by seeing how Snape used this spell to heal Draco, until he was notified that cursed wounds cannot be healed by charms.
- In the book, Harry stayed in the bathroom after cursing Malfoy and witnessed Snape's use of the spell; in the film he ran straight to the common-room.
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film) (First identified as Vulnera Sanentur)

Ripe's Radicchio Salad with Tahini Lemon Drizzle
Get the Recipe
With its lush purple leaves and white veins, radicchio is undeniably beautiful—but its bitterness can be polarizing. Those who appreciate the tart, bracing flavors love it, but there are many who aren't fans of this particularly bitter chicory.
This Radicchio Salad with Tahini Lemon Drizzle adapted from Cheryl Sternman Rule's Ripe tempers that bitterness with creamy, rich tahini, mild butter lettuce, crunchy-crisp cucumbers and bright lemon juice. It's a gorgeous salad to behold and to enjoy, full of big tastes and unexpectedly thrilling flavors.
What Worked: Tempering radicchio's bitterness with a creamy element is genius. And while tahini wouldn't be out first thought, we're quite pleased that Sternman Rule thought it up.
What Didn't: This salad works wonderfully, we wouldn't change a thing.
What I'd Change: Sternman Rule suggests adding adding Middle Eastern Mediterranean olives and feta to the mix and that just makes us think that a sprinkle of sumac or za'tar would make this salad that much more more exciting.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of 'Ripe' to give away.

Heart of the Ocean by Heather B. Moore
A dark secret . . . a grieving ghost . . . a handsome stranger . . .
What more could Eliza Robinson want?
Except for maybe her life.
In Heather B. Moore's enthralling 1840's historical romance, Heart of the Ocean, Eliza Robinson has turned down the very pretentious Mr. Thomas Beesley's marriage proposal. As a business partner of Eliza's father, Thomas quickly discredits the family and brings disgrace to the Robinson name.
While her father scrambles to restore his good name in New York City, Eliza flees to the remote Puritan town of Maybrook to stay with her Aunt Maeve. Although relieved to be away from all- things-male and unforgiving gossip columns, odd things start to happen to Eliza, and she is plagued by a ghostly voice. Her aunt's explanation? That Eliza is being haunted by a woman who died of a broken heart twenty years ago.
After Aunt Maeve is tragically killed, Eliza's life is put in danger as she tries to uncover the mystery of her aunt's death. She encounters Jonathan Porter in Maybrook, whose presence in the town seems suspicious, yet she finds herself drawn to him. When she discovers that Jonathan's dark secrets may be the link between the dead woman who haunts her and her aunt's murderer, Eliza realizes that Jonathan is the one man she should never trust.
My Review:
The tension of this story begins right on page one when the main character Eliza hears a voice telling her to jump off a cliff. This creepy encounter is only enhanced by the setting of a small seaside puritan town complete with a creepy lighthouse and mentally unstable inhabitant. This historical novel takes place in the 1830's though I often found myself a tad confused on what time period the story took place in, as any Puritan settlement puts you in bit of a time warp anyway, but the main character didn't give much indication in her observations as to the time period. So, I felt a bit lost in the setting for a while until I got to more of the story. I found Moore's ghost story to be more sad than frightening, as Eliza discovers the past of Helena Porter the mother of Jonathan Porter—Eliza's love interest. Giving birth to a child out of wedlock in a Puritan community was enough of a trial and then she falls into an abusive relationship that ends really tragically. It made me very sad to read about her life and her experiences, and those parts of the books were hard to read. There is a love story wound throughout the books and Jonathan proves himself to be a wonderful hero that always arrives just in time to save Eliza, though I did wonder if she were rescued a bit too much for the liking of the modern reader. Still I enjoyed reading their story and hoped Eliza and Jonathan would find a way to be together in the end. I would sneak to the computer and read this book behind my toddlers back so I could get to the end faster. Overall, I found this to be an engaging historical mystery filled with both romance and tragedy.
