Split Pea Soup with Ham, Bay Leaves, Epazote, and Red Bell Pepper (or Carrots)
(Makes about 6-8 servings, but this freezes very well so you may want to double the recipe)
1 large onion, diced
1 T olive oil
6 cups chicken stock, ham stock, or water with chicken soup base
1 lb. green split peas (just over 2 cups)
2 fresh bay leaves or 1 dried bay leaf
1/2 - 1 tsp. dried Epazote (optional)
1-2 diced red bell peppers (or 1-2 cups diced carrots)
2 cups or more diced ham (save the rind, use ham with less than 10% fat for South Beach Diet)
optional: Ham flavor base (I use Goya, Better than Bouillon, or Penzey's brand)
salt/pepper to taste
Cook at a low simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour or until most peas are losing their shape and combining with the liquid. (The length of cooking time will depend partly on the freshness of the dried split peas.) You may need to add water once or twice while this cooks.
South Beach Suggestions:

Ohio Dem. Party: Remember? Romney's a Michigan fan
Ahead of stops by President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney to Ohio this week, the state's Democratic Party took out a full page ad in Ohio State University's student newspaper on Friday, reminding voters of the GOP nominee's sports team allegiance.
"I have been a Michigan and a Wolverine fan for a long, long time," the text says over a photo of Romney. The former Massachusetts governor, who was born in Michigan, made the statement last year.
The Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio State Buckeyes have long been fierce rivals. Friday's ad ran in the homecoming edition of the student paper, The Lantern.
Republicans have also had some Buckeye fun at the president's expense. When Romney's running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, visited a campus area sports bar in Columbus last weekend, the Wisconsin congressman did the O-H-I-O picture with fans, a tradition in which four people line up side-by-side to spell Ohio with their arms.
Ryan's campaign was quick to point out Obama had been photographed a few months earlier misspelling it. But the president got it right two weeks ago in Milwaukee, where he ran into a group of Buckeye fans at a sausage shop.
Obama is set to visit Ohio State on Tuesday.

I'm starting quilting class & I need something to carry all the things I need. Any help would be great. | |||
HiDarby. When I go to a class or workshop, I stuff my supplies into the wheeled tote with the sewing machine. I can put lots in there. Sometimes there are things that won't fit and those have to be taken in another bag, but not often. www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | ||||
i dont go to quilting classes.. but i would think if you lay out the supplies that you want to take on a table and arrange them how you would want them in a bag (as far as pockets go.. then you could design a pocketed lining or insert for your favorite bag/tote.. just make the lining (for the tote your making) with the pockets where you want them.. Hugs, Waves, Smiles, & Prayers God bless you all and may sunshine always be in your lives to brighten your days.. San | ||||
You should be able to find a freebie here at Heriettas http://www.henriettashandbags.com/ May "In Michigan" | ||||
Depending on what and how much i need to bring along, I sometimes use one of those clear plastic ArtBin containers. I've also used just a regular tote. I read somewhere that someone used a soft sided briefcase. I already had a LandsEnd case and it worked out well...had lots of pockets for rotary cutters and scissors, pencils, a big pocket for fabric. I also have a box on wheels. Just kinda depends on what I'm bringing. Good luck with your class. I hope you have fun and make a beautiful quilt! Come on back here for advice or help if you need it! | ||||
Thank you to everyone for all of the ideas. | ||||
Just another idea go to the hardware store I found a tool tote that had lots of pockets and was extremely sturdy Kayla "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" -Edgar Allan Poe- | ||||
I went to a retreat and a girl had a rolling tool box thing. Ingenious! She got it at Home Depot! | ||||
I also have one of the rolling sewing machine bags, with lots of pockets, that I keep everything orgnized in...I also have a small basket that I strap on top that looks like one of those folding shopping baskets...it's so handy... I am in the process of making a case to hold my rulers and cutting mat...I don't really take classes either, but sometimes I just like to take fabrics to cut while I am at my 3 hr Friday sit and sew http://www.etsy.com/listing/93...-pattern-sewing-case " Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile..

Ok so I was so looking forward to this device. Picked it up from Best Buy after waiting forever for it to ship. I bring it home, install the stuff it says to install including the iOS application on my iPad. Install the Mac OS X stuff and did not reformat the drive.
Now, I should be able to do one of two things....either A) Drag and Drop files/folders directly to the drive or B) use the desktop application to choose which files I want to sync (it does not, although I think it is supposed to) simply allow you to sync the whatever compatible files are on the HD.
When I try the drag and drop, the file "looks" like it is on the satellite but when I try to view/listen with the iOS app on my iPad, I get nothing. Sometimes it tries to open a safari page in iOS that just sits there....other times it simply sits doing nothing.
When I try the desktop application and moved over a media folder, the folder itself may copy but the actual media file does not so basically I'm sitting there with a bunch of empty folders in the satellite.
When I try to view or listen to anything other than the preloaded how to and sample videos/picture using the iOS app, I either get a black screen or it tries to open a mobile safari page which simply sits blank. When I go to close that mobile safari page, I notice that there is yet another mobile safari page directing to www.seagate.com/blahblahblah that is actually letting me control the drive but none of my media appears there either.
Needless to say, I am a bit frustrated as this should not be complicated. I can connect wirelessly to the drive no problem with my iPad but just can't do anything with it.
I would appreciate any thoughts.
The NTFS driver may not have quite "taken". Please eject the Satellite, restart the Mac, and reconnect the Satellite.
That did not work. I still cannot play any .m4v files that I manually move over and the Seagate Media Sync still doesn't work and I still can't play any music. When I manually add a .m4v file over from iTunes into the satellite drive and then manually change the file extension to .mp4, and try and play it through the iPad application, it switches to a mobile Safari window and will play. However, there is no way I should have to go in, manually add each file and then manually change the file extension for no good reason.

I've had nothing but problems for the week I've been using the GoFlex Satellite. I'm using the Finder to drag and drop media onto the drive. From a cold start the drive will start writing files properly but within 5 minutes it will start to fail with data errors. I've tried using a Windows computer to write to the drive and get the same kind of failure. Here I get a Window delayed write failure. I'm sure if I eject the drive and set it aside until tomorrow it will start out writing properly.
When the drive starts failing the lights on the USB interface dim and relight, dim and then go out completely. I'm wondering if getting a Firewire interface will help.
I'd consider talking to Seagate about those failures. That seems like a larger problem. I have had my Satellite for a few days now and have really wrung it through the wringer, and I can drag and dop files just fine to the harddrive... I've copied about 300 GB so far of different things. When connected over USB, the file transfer speeds are very good. ( though I haven't specifically measured... it feels like "harddrive speeds", meaning that files copy over reasonably fast enough that I don't get frustrated )
The only hiccup I ever had was having to reboot 2 times to get the NTFS "activation" working on my Mac.
same problem here.i tried everything i was told US support and European support and i can se no fu.nny thing on my pad.
what hard disc ever could not be reset to the former state.
im not a bit frustratet , im boiling. its rediculous
My problems with copying files to my Satellite through the Finder were solved by returning the drive to Seagate on an RMA and getting a replacement. But I now have issues with the Seagate software. The Seagate Media Sync worked on the first library I added, transferring most but not all the files in the folder. These were movies I'd ripped from a DVD. They will play through the GoFlex Media App. Good.
But when I added my iTunes library of TV show videos (downloaded from iTunes), the Sync software creates folders but does not copy files. I copied the files through the Apple Finder. Now if I try to play any of those files through the iPad App it switches to Safari and looks as if it is trying to download the file before playing it rather than streaming.
1) Sync software worked once to copy files but not again (and not completely for some reason).
2) App will not play video downloaded from iTunes natively; jumps to Safari and will not stream.
UPDATE: On the iPhone when the App switches to Safari it begins to stream immediately. If I can get this behavior on my iPad I will be satisfied.
All software and iOS are at the current release. 64GB iPad with 15GB free.
I can drag and drop music and video dl'ed from iTunes on my PC to the Satellite, but when dragging them on my Mac, I get the slashed circle character at the end of my pointer instead of the file, and it doesn't drop. I did run the .dmg file on the satellite drive.

U.S. stocks turned lower Tuesday afternoon, as investors tuned into the political turmoil in Egypt and took a cautious approach ahead of Friday's jobs report.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 43 points, or 0.3%. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq ended little changed.
All three indexes were higher earlier in the day thanks to a report showing factory orders rose 2.1% in May. That was slightly better than expected and signals ongoing improvement in the manufacturing sector.
But the gains faded as investors turned their attention to thousands of protestors in Cairo's Tahrir Square calling for the resignation of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsy.
Investors were also wary of placing big bets ahead of the government's June jobs report. Economists surveyed by CNNMoney predict the U.S. economy added 155,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell to 7.5% last month.
Economic data has been front and center recently as investors try to gauge when the Federal Reserve may start pulling back on its bond purchases. Last month, Fed chairman Ben Bernanke announced that as long as the economic recovery continues in line with the central bank's outlook, the Fed could begin tapering later this year.
That sparked widespread volatility, sending bond yields higher and stocks on a wild ride. All three indexes are only marginally lower since Bernanke's June 19 speech but they remain down 2% to 3% from May 22, when the Fed chairman first hinted at tapering.
The holiday-shortened week could also lead to some choppy trading.
U.S. markets close at 1 p.m. ET Wednesday and are closed Thursday for Independence Day.
What's moving: Zynga shares rose more than 6% after the online gaming company announced that CEO Mark Pincus is stepping down. Don Mattrick, the former head of Microsoft's Xbox and gaming division, was named as Zynga's new chief.
Nielsen Holdings shares edged higher following news that the company will join the S&P 500 next week, replacing Sprint Nextel.
Disney extended chairman and CEO Bob Iger's tenure through June 2016. Iger had previously been scheduled to leave his post in April 2015.
Apple shares were also on the rise, up more than 2%.

Most of us don't think twice about getting up in the morning, using the bathroom, making a pot of coffee, getting milk and juice from the fridge, eating breakfast, washing dishes in the sink, taking a shower, then heading out for work.
We take electricity, indoor plumbing and clean running water for granted. But Feather River College Enactus students, their faculty advisor Amy Schulz and her daughter Alicia Bagley learned otherwise when they traveled to Mabare, Uganda, in January.
"Uganda 2013, an Enactus endeavor" actually began back in 2003, when FRC SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) students were inspired to raise money to drill a well in Uganda.
Ten years later, SIFE rebranded itself as Enactus, to better represent a change in focus to social entrepeneurship.
After a decade of raising money, building connections and partnering directly with Ugandans involved in hands-on projects such as building wells and schools and empowering villagers to become self-sustaining, the dream of providing water to villagers in Uganda was fulfilled.
Not only was the project a success, the students actually got their hands dirty in Ugandan soil, digging trenches for a pipeline extension two kilometers long into the village of Mabare.
The trip
The group of five students, Schulz and her daughter began their trip with an 11-hour flight to Amsterdam. They took advantage of an eight-hour layover and spent the day exploring the city. The next leg of their trip was a flight to Entebbe, Uganda's capital, and then on to Kampala.
After a night spent at the home of project partner Gerald Mbabazi's uncle, the group drove for 11 hours on rugged dirt roads to the Kanungu district in the southwestern part of Uganda. (Schulz said it would have taken about three hours had the roads been maintained to American standards.)
The Kanungu region is a thriving jungle environment with rich soil, lush foliage and an abundance of tropical fruits and vegetables.
With very limited electricity, storing perishable food is not a possibility for most families, who don't have electricity in their homes.
Even businesses and schools that do have electricity have very unreliable service. Although vegetables and fruits are abundant, everything must be eaten soon after it is harvested, before it rots.
The water project
A gravity well was built last year in Mabare by a group founded by Mbabazi called H2O, Helping to Overcome. The artesian well, high on the hillside, has a constant stream of water that filters through a natural sand and gravel filtration system.
The clean water pours out of taps for the people to fill their containers and carry back to their homes.
Carrying water is the job of the children, and must be done on a daily basis to meet each family's needs. This arduous task takes up to a couple hours or more, depending on where the family lives in relation to the well.
Before the pipeline was brought into the village proper, students had difficulty getting to school on time with the energy to learn.
Before the project could begin, the group needed permission. Enactus students were surprised when a grandmother showed up to chant, dance and bless the project, giving it the green light.
Now they could start digging. Using maps drawn by RUMISO (a rural multisectoral initiatives support organization), another partner in the project, the team, armed with machetes, hoes, pickaxes and shovels, began work.
Thanks to the funds and hard work of Enactus and its partners, and aided by up to 40 villagers each day, students dug trenches from the well down to the village.
The pipeline brings water two kilometers closer to village residents, so Ugandan students can now walk just a short distance to one of six new taps that they helped make a reality. Children can complete their water chores and get to school on time with more energy to learn.
Each water tap has a tap committee that has agreed to monitor and maintain the valuable tap. Studies have shown that when villagers are empowered with such responsibility, the project is more likely to be successful and sustainable.
Tip taps
Uganda has one of the highest child mortality rates in the world: over 10 percent for children from birth to age 5 (Unicef 2010).
The combination of unsafe drinking water, poor hygiene and limited or no access to health care leaves many children susceptible to diarrhea and other dangerous diseases, which are often fatal.
Clean drinking water and good hygiene dramatically lower the health risks to children and adults.
The Enactus group installed 20 low-tech hand washing stations, called tip taps, throughout the village. A tip tap is a simple lever system whereby a water-filled jug is suspended on a simple frame and attached to a foot lever.
The hand washer steps on the lever, which tips the jug so that a stream of water pours out. A container of soap is attached to the frame, allowing easy access and a hands-free operation.
Enactus supplied the funds for 80 additional tip taps. The local girls' school took on the project and will install the tip taps near families' latrines. Enactus also provided education to students and parents on the importance of sanitary hygiene practices.
Kanungu business summit
Enactus hosted an impromptu business summit that involved about 40 local business owners and future entrepreneurs.
After a brainstorming session, three revenue-generating businesses were chosen and the group developed business plans. The ideas include a women's soap-making cooperative, a piggery and poultry farm and a money-lending business.
One Enactus student, Kelsey Summers, procured a $1,000 grant from Quincy's Bread for the Journey nonprofit organization that funded a revolving livestock loan project in Mabare. The funds were used to purchase pigs, goats and rabbits.
Home stay
In an effort to bridge the culture gap between visiting students and villagers, organizer Mbabazi arranged for each student to spend a day and night at a local villager's home.
He tapped into RUMISO, a group of local college graduates who volunteer their time and expertise to help villagers learn valuable computer skills in the year between high school and college.
RUMISO surveyed families and created a pool of willing hosts. The families did not learn until the day of the visit that they would be hosting a student.
Enactus member Kambel Kenaston said it was sprung on the villagers because if they had known in advance, they would have killed a pig or goat just for them. This way the students had a more authentic experience.
Student Brad Marquette said his favorite part of the trip was the home stay. He was served a bowl of grasshoppers for dinner that he proclaimed quite tasty. No one in the home spoke English, so it was a challenge to communicate.
With no electricity, once the sun went down, it was pitch dark, alleviated only by a single oil lamp, Schulz said.
Kenaston talked about the local myths that the Enactus group were able to dispel, such as that white people's skin is mushy like bananas, and that if children were bad, white people would come and eat them.
Each host family received an animal from the livestock project. The animals' offspring will be distributed amongst other villagers.
Mbabazi proclaimed that the home stays were as important as the pipeline, for bridging the gap and exposing villagers to a broader perspective.
Future plans
The Enactus group is already beginning to plan for its return trip to Mabare next January. Schulz is opening the trip up to community members interested in social entrepeneurship.
Enactus will continue working with the businesses they helped inspire, and begin selling Gorilla Summit Coffee, a business venture that Mbabazi and his father started.
Enactus will raise funds to finance more pipeline extensions and taps, as the well was deemed productive enough to expand water distribution.
On the next trip, Enactus will host a coffee summit, and teach growers about growing and producing coffee. It is estimated that there are 10,000 growers in the Kanungu region.
Most residents do not drink coffee — instead they drink tea, a leftover British tradition acquired under colonialism.
Enactus will work in the States to find coffee roasters who agree to roast the green beans from Kanungu.

Carnatic vocalist Nithyashree's husband commits suicide
By PTI - CHENNAI
Published: 20th December 2012 02:34 PM
Last Updated: 04th February 2013 02:10 PM
Popular Carnatic vocalist
Nithyashree's husband Mahadevan today allegedly committed
suicide by jumping into a river in the city, in a blow to her
amid the annual music season in which she is a star performer.
Mahadevan, who came in a car, jumped into the Adyar river
from the Kotturpuram Bridge, a locality where the couple
resided, police said quoting eyewitnesses.
Police and Fire and Rescue Services arrived at the spot on
information and fished out the body of the 45-year old
Mahadevan. The couple have two daughters.
They said the reason for Mahadevan's decision to end his
life was under investigation.
The tragedy struck Nithyashree in the midst of the
"Margazhi" music festival now on in the city.
Nithyashree, who comes from an illustrious family of
carnatic musicians, is grand daughter of late D K Pattammal,
often hailed as one of the trinity of carnatic vocalists --
the other two being late M S Subbulakshmi and the late M L
The month-long festival held at sabhas and concert halls in
December offers a veritable feast for connoisseurs of Carnatic
music with the top artists and budding ones giving
Nithyashree has also sung in some Tamil movies.

It is very unfortunate that such a talented singer should have to go through this trauma of losing her husband at a young age. Our hearts go out to her and her children in this hour of grief. May Providence give her the strength to bear the loss.

Tragic loss. Unbelievable in the middle of Chennai Music Season - the glorious heights which Nityashree has reached and achieved in her divinity to Almighty! Why such a tragedy to this noble daughter of the Indian Soil. To achieve glory in music that too in Carnatic music at such a young age itself is Almighty's Blessing and the blessings of elders. May Almighty give the family strength and courage to face this crisis. Pray for her good health and strengthen her mind to face the future.

One should not commit suicide like this for person of high caliber when ordinary people with very low financial profile or social profile live on streets with their family even inside the water conduits in Bombay and Bangalore etc. Why these people or doing like this, I am unable to understand. They are very good people socially and in this musical world. I am very sad. RIP.

A detailed investigation must be done to ascertain the cause of his suicide. His close relatives and friends must be questioned.

Jobless claims bounce higher
368K filed for first-time benefits
Jobless claims bounced higher last week, after falling to a five-year low earlier in January.
First-time claims for unemployment benefits rose by 38,000 last week to 368,000, from 330,000 the previous week.
Claims have been volatile all month, falling by a whopping 40,000 one week and then two weeks later, rising again dramatically.
Economists often prefer to smooth out the volatility by looking at a four week moving average, which was 352,000 last week, a slight increase from the week before.
Meanwhile, continuing claims, a closely watched measure of those who remain on unemployment benefits for a second week or more, totaled about 3.2 million in the week ended Jan. 19, the most recent data available, a 22,000 drop from the week before.
The report comes a day before the government's monthly reports on payrolls and unemployment. Economists are expecting 180,000 jobs were added and that the unemployment rate dipped slightly to 7.7 percent.

If a person wins a scholarship intended for someone of a different race, should he or she give it back?
When Jeffrey Warren, a senior at Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, Calif., was looking for financial help to pay for college, he applied for several scholarships. When he applied for one of those scholarships, he had no idea it was intended for an African-American student. He says the application only said that African-Americans were encouraged to apply.
The scholarship awarding committee didn't know that he was white -- until he got up to receive the award.
"It was kind of funny at first, everyone was laughing. They announced it for an African-American, they saw me walk up," Warren said.
Warren decided to return the scholarship. He says he could have really used the money but decided it was best to return it.
"I know that they were trying to a good deed for the African-American community, and I saw that too so I had no trouble giving it back to them at all," Warren told KABC-TV.

I am using for a couple bicycle tires, works great for the past 2 weeks. Good price. But why can't the manufacturer list all information properly?User manual and specifications on website are missing critical information.Simply defining the pressure rating is not enough, how about defining the flow rate at some specific pressures set-points.Also pump efficiency is not defined, the estimated pump efficiency at some pressure setpoints is needed.Pressure, flow-rate and efficiency are really fundamental when providing specifications for any pump. Why wouldn't these all be listed?

I used this item to top off my tires on my Honda Civic a couple of times and to top off a tire on my Ford Ranger. Then I had a tire go flat on the ranger in a remote cabin. It filled the tire (VERY slowly). After I repaired the tire and attached the pump again, it got to 24 pounds and then the pump stopped while the motor continued running. I diassembled the unit and found that the nylon gear on the pump had failed. Item beyond repair.I suggest spending a bit more for one of the other 12V compressors sold by Harbor. They are probably more durable.

Great compact compressor for low PSI's
By Jetmech
from Vacaville, ca
About Me Mechanic, Truck Enthusiast
Comments about Pittsburgh Automotive 12 Volt, 250 PSI Compact Air Compressor:
I've used this compressor for 3 years now to air up the tires in my Polaris Quad which only requires 5 PSI. Works slow but what do you expect? It's compact.

It works, but you get what you pay for.
By DIY Guy
from Phoenix
About Me DIY guy, Truck Enthusiast
I got this on sale mainly as a way to keep a 8 gallon air tank full, but I also air up my truck and bike tires. I've used it frequently the last 6 months and yes it has serious limitations, but if you don't overwork it, it works well! I let it run for 10 minutes, then let it cool and then repeat this process until my air tank is at 100PSI.Yes, it takes awhile but, for the price, I'm not complaining. I've aired up all my truck tires as well. I did find that sometimes when its hooked up to whatever is being filled that it wont start. I found that air pressure was bleeding back into the unit and not allowing the puny motor to turn. So now I start the unit before attaching the hose and it hasn't been a problem since. Bottom line, baby it and it should treat you well!

Great for the price and lightweight
By Mike

See all my reviews
It does the job. I make sure to keep the nylon gear and piston assembly lubricated. It has saved me from putting on a spare more than a few times. Be careful, the output for the pressure gauge gets extremely hot.
Excellent small air compressor!
By E-man
from Denver, CO
This is a great small compressor! For the price, did any of you really expect air compressor to put air into your car tires? I mean… Come on!!! What is next, semi-truck drivers will try to use this on their vehicles???I needed a compressor to put air into my bicycle tires and balls, so I got this one. It is less expensive than manual pump!

Works Great
By William
from Undisclosed
This product works great. It's a little slow on car tires pumping just a couple of pounds per minute but so what. Also, because the scale on the gauge is so large (250 psi) you'll need a good quality tire gauge (not the pen style) if you want a more precise reading. Can't beat the price too.

Great for ATV tires
By Michael
I keep on of these in my ATV gear bag on board. Since ATV tires only take up to about 9 pounds of air max, these are perfect. They are small and lite and are a necessary item for off road. There are few things that spoil an ATV outing like a flat tire 10 miles from camp...
work great
By m kagan
Didn't expect much, but was pleasantly surprised; they work great.I don't know about their longevity, but they are less than a manual tire pump. So far I've purchased three: one for each car and one for a gift.

Whether a cesarean is scheduled or not, the preparation is nearly the same. Either way, your healthcare team will get you ready for surgery. Often, your partner can stay with you for most of this time.
All cesarean births, scheduled or not, require certain steps. To prepare for surgery:
You'll need to sign a consent form.
Any hair on your abdomen may be removed to just below the top of your pubic bone. (Do not do this yourself.)
A wash that cleans and disinfects the skin will be applied to your belly.
An IV (intravenous) line will be started to supply medications and fluids.
A catheter (small tube) will be placed in your bladder to drain urine.
A fetal monitor may be used to check your baby's heart rate.
Before scheduling a cesarean, tests may be done to confirm your due date. This helps ensure that your baby is ready to be born when the cesarean is performed. Cesareans are often scheduled near the 39th week of pregnancy. Don't eat or drink anything after the midnight before surgery.
Even with a planned cesarean, some women are allowed to go into labor. This ensures that the baby is ready to be born. It may also help decrease the amount of blood lost during surgery. If you are having a planned cesarean, you and your doctor will discuss what is best for you.
In most cases, you can stay with the mother while she is being prepared for surgery. She may be feeling tense. Help her relax. Your support can mean a lot. If you'll be staying with her during the cesarean, you may be asked to wash your hands and put on special clothes.

Fan Testimonials
"I want to express my gratitude to your organization for presenting us with a memory filled adventure. My brother, sister and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. I was extremely happy to have the opportunity to have my picture taken with my favorite player Michael Young."
Argelia Lira - Boston '11
"We have traveled all over the United States to different sporting events from college to the pros. This was definitely a top 5 event. We will definitely do this again next year. It was an awesome experience!"
Chuck Smith - San Francisco '12
"I am a "single senior" and as such do travel alone a lot. I felt completely safe and included, it appearing that planning for this outing had taken into consideration those of us who do travel alone. (Mostly, trips of this kind are planned for couples and/or families.) I can certainly recommend that ladies who would like to go, but have no partner, GO !"
Jo Geihl - Boston '11
"The entire trip was handled professionally. Having been in the airline industry for 46 years, I have to say that there was nothing that could have been done better. It was a great experience and one I would recommend and definitely do again!"
Laurie Laney - San Diego '12
"This was a great trip for any baseball-loving family, the trip was reasonably priced, well coordinated and great attention paid to details. I appreciate the Rangers organization for working on such a great trip for the fans. We'll never forget our trip to Boston!"
Cathy Clements - Boston '11
"From top to bottom, start to finish the Rangers Destination, San Diego 2012 was well-organized and well-executed by personable, professional and efficient staff. I'd like to recognize the staff for their courteous and expedient assistance with my follow-up questions. Onsite, they were friendly, approachable, focused, and detail oriented. For the cost, the game seats were a great value. We will definitely see you at another Ranger's Destination soon!"
William Maloney - San Diego '12
"Thank you for all the pictures and the opportunity to view a game at Fenway the way very few people can. From the tour of historic Fenway Park to watching both teams during batting practice before the park opened to the general public, it was an adventure I'll never forget. The meal with Michael Young was awesome and organized providing an enjoyable visit with the Ranger superstar. My wife and I are looking forward to taking part in the next Texas Destination trip."
Rickey Thornton - Boston '11
"We had a great time in San Fran! Anytime we had a question or issue, the staff was right on it!! We could not have asked for a better experience. We can't wait to join the group next year! Goooo Rangers!"
Brittany Lancaster - San Francisco '12
"My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will try and make it a yearly event. This was our first time together to Boston and our first Fenway Park visit and it was all that we hoped for and more. The history of both the city and the ballpark are unrivaled and the experience was great. The welcome bags at the front desk with game programs, polos, and baseballs were a nice touch. Probably one of the best moments was getting to meet Mr. Ranger, Michael Young. He was a great choice as the player representative for the event, and put the icing on the cake for the weekend."
Nick Rose - Boston '11
"Sign us up for next year. This is our second year to go on a Ranger Destinations excursion and we're not disappointed. We enjoyed the opportunity to see our Rangers play a road game. The VIP tour of Petco Field allowed us to learn the history of a team we knew little about and visit many areas of the park most people never see. The small lunch setting with Mike Napoli provided a comfortable and easy going atmosphere to meet the guest Ranger and get his autograph. We are looking forward to next year's trip"
Rickey Thornton - San Diego '12
"We had a wonderful experience with the Rangers Destinations tour in Boston. The hotel was first-class and we were able to check-in easily and receive our delightful bag of goodies, including some Fenway Park dirt! The tour of Fenway Park was really fun and interesting and our guides took great pictures of everything that we asked for. Then we got to meet Michael Young and get autographs and pictures. We're so pleased with the way the day turned out and are ready for any trips scheduled next year. We received accurate and timely information from the time that we signed up for the trip through the end of the tour day. It was all great fun and we would encourage anyone to sign up the next time."
Sandye Hill - Boston '11
"We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to San Diego. The planning was easy, the hotel was great, and the planned activities were fantastic from the pre-game reception with Mike Napoli to the actual game tickets. The Rangers Destinations staff were very friendly and went out of their way not only to make us feel welcome, but also to make sure they provided us with great photos of our various activities. We would definitely love do this again next year!"
Ronald Rhodes - San Diego '12
"This was the first time that my wife and I have ever tried anything like this and found it to be very exciting, informative, entertaining, and rewarding. It was also very historical to see Fenway Park where so many great players and moments have occurred. It is one of two original baseball parks still being used. The events were well planned, organized and carried out in an exceptional timely manner. Michael Young was most cordial and friendly in his autograph session, picture taking, and Q and A session. The meal was both plentiful and delicious. Would we do it again? Yes, we are planning for next year."
Davey & Ann Jones - Boston '11

As the Capitol Building came into view Tuesday morning, Lee Shull tried to help his neighbor Po Murray navigate their car into Washington.
He's a 43-year-old software consultant. She's a mother of four. A week ago, they lived in a town and a neighborhood they thought was safe.
Now their block in Sandy Hook is set off by caution tape. Inside a house 100 yards from Murray's front door, Nancy Lanza was found in her bed on Friday, a gunshot to her face. The killer, her 20-year-old son, Adam Lanza, took three of his mother's high-powered guns to Sandy Hook Elementary and murdered 20 first-graders and six adults.
"I cannot even tell you what that feels like to have that happen in your town. It was like we were grabbing for something, anything," said Shull. On Friday night, neighbors and friends starting calling each other.
"We all thought we have to do something," he said. "That turned into, 'What are you doing Saturday? Can we get people together Saturday?'"
About 50 people got together Saturday, then Sunday and again Monday at the town's public library, the only place that could accommodate the growing crowd of 75-plus people.
They decided to call themselves Newtown United. A Facebook and Twitter account were set up. Then they scrambled to find people in the group who could drop their jobs for a day or put off family obligations to go to Washington. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, which holds perhaps the biggest pro-gun control megaphone in the country, was staging a press conference at the capital.
Shull, Murray and Murray's 16-year-old daughter, Tess, just wanted to be a part of that, if only to stand and listen.
They get that they're entering a foreign, complex and often ugly world of politics and ideology.
"Maybe that sounds like a pipe dream, and maybe that's arrogant," said Shull. "But why not? If we fail, and maybe we will, but we don't know if we don't try."
So many victims, a long fight
At the press conference, more than 40 relatives of people who have been victims of gun violence spoke. One after another, they approached the microphone:
-- Mothers of an 8-year-old and a 27-year-old killed in the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shootings this July.
-- A man who talked about his sister who was shot to death in a classroom in 2007 at Virginia Tech.
-- A mother who held a picture of her 16-year-old son, gunned down the same year on a bus in Chicago.
-- The sons of a member of the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin where a gunman murdered six in August.
-- The mother of a little girl killed in the Tucson, Arizona, shooting that targeted former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords.
Tom Mauser, the father of Daniel Mauser, who was one of 13 people killed at Columbine High School in Colorado in 1999, walked to the podium. He had on worn, gray sneakers.
"I am here today wearing my son's shoes," he said. "It's amazing we have the same size shoes so I wear them, because he was a member of the debate team at Columbine High School, so I now wear his shoes in this great debate and it's a debate we need to have in this country."
Mauser knows what he's talking about.
