The Times-Tribune
By Chris Parsons / Staff Writer
SOUTH LONDON — The Corbin White 9-10-year-old All-Stars pounded out 19 hits en route to a 20-1 win over North Laurel Green Sunday afternoon.
Quinton Botner led the way offensively for Corbin at the plate with a 3-for-3 effort, while knocking in three runs and scoring three as well.
Seven other Corbin White players tallied multi-hit games as Luke Ledington, Cody Cox, Colby Cornett, Will Brock, Grant Dickerson, Nick Osborne and Josh Gilbert each had two hits each.
Corbin White jumped ahead 1-0 in the first inning when Botner scored from third on a passed ball. A six-run second inning, highlighted by a triple by Cox, pushed the gap to 7-0 heading to the third inning.
Corbin White exploded for 11 runs in the top of the third as 15 batters went to the plate in the inning, tallying nine hits (four triples) when all was said and done as Corbin White's lead grew to 18-0.
A pair of runs in the top of the fourth inning pushed the gap to 20-0 heading to the bottom of the fourth. North Green managed to get a run in the fourth inning, but it was a case of too-little, too-late as they fell 20-1.
Corbin White's trio of Dickerson, Botner and Cox combined to allow just four hits through four innings in the win.
Dickerson gave up two hits through two innings with a strikeout and a pair of walks, while Botner pitched one inning and gave up a hit and walked one batter. Cox closed things out by giving up a run on one hit with three strikeouts and a walk.
Saturday's Game
Clay County Gold 7, Corbin White 6
Corbin White jumped out to a 4-0 lead over Clay County Gold, but couldn't hold on, losing in the end on Saturday, 7-6.
Clay County Gold scored four runs in the bottom of the third inning to tie the game at four apiece and added runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings to pick up the win.
Luke Ledington led Corbin White with two hits, one run scored and three RBIs while his team finished the game with seven hits in the loss.

A 26-year-old former Simley High School student teacher accused of sending naked pictures of herself to a 17-year-old student has pleaded guilty to a gross misdemeanor.
According to a press release from the Dakota County Attorney's office, Jenna Anna Schultz, 26, of Minnetonka, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Schultz was charged May 25 with two counts of felony stalking and a count of contributing to the deliqunency of a minor after allegedly sending the boy a series of explicit messages via Facebook.
Last month, she pleaded not guilty to the charges in Dakota County District Court. A settlement conference was scheduled for Wednesday.
Here is the press release from the attorney's office:
Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom announced that Jenna Anne Schultz, age 26 of Minnetonka, was charged May 25, 2012, pled guilty today to Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor (a gross misdemeanor) in connection with sending a naked picture of herself to a 17-year-old male student at Simley High School in Inver Grove Heights where she was a student teacher.
Backstrom thanked the Inver Grove Heights Police Department and Independent School District 199 for their quick intervention and investigation into this troublesome situation.
Judge Mary Theisen ordered a pre-sentence investigation and psycho-sexual evaluation and set Schultz's sentencing for February 12, [2013] at 1:30 p.m. in Hastings. She continues to be released on the bail conditions previously established by the court.
According to the criminal complaint in the case, Facebook messages from Schultz to the student became progressively more graphic and culminated with a photo of her completely naked.
In a post-arrest interview, Schultz told police she did not recall sending the student the photo or texting him. She chalked up the alleged behavior to being "really drunk."
Hennepin County Sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant on Schultz's home and vehicles on June 12.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Pennsylvania's highest court on Thursday overturned hundreds of juvenile convictions issued by a judge who took millions of dollars in kickbacks from youth detention centers.
The state Supreme Court ruled that former Luzerne County President Judge Mark Ciavarella violated the constitutional rights of youth offenders who appeared in his courtroom without lawyers between 2003 and 2008.
"It's going to take some time, but the Supreme Court is committed to righting whatever wrong was perpetrated on Luzerne's juveniles and their families," Chief Justice Ronald Castille said.
In one of the most egregious cases of judicial corruption ever seen, federal prosecutors charged Ciavarella and another Luzerne County judge, Michael Conahan, with taking $2.6 million in payoffs to put juvenile offenders in privately owned lockups.
The judges pleaded guilty to fraud last month.

A lot of people don't realize what goes into the art of songwriting. Sure, we all enjoy the end product, but what would it be like to be there as the song was being created? That's what the Saturday Afternoon Song Swap is all about.
The Song Swap was started a few years ago by two local songwriters, Millburn's Deena Shoshkes and Springfield's Rebecca Turner.
The Swap exists in two forms: as a thrice-yearly show and as a podcast. There has been one episode of the podcast produced so far, with another episode coming out soon.
"When we started, we were doing it every month. It takes a lot of effort and energy to put it together. We want to work on our own songs so we went from monthly to seasonal," said Shoshkes.
"It started as a place where songwriters could get together and play their songs for each other and their friends. A lot of the songwriters who were coming to the swap started releasing CDs, so that's when the podcast started. There was so much great recorded music. We were just part of the whole process, seeing the songs in development," added Shoshkes.
Among the artists who have appeared in previous Swaps are Kate Jacobs, Glenn Mercer and Dave Weckerman of The Feelies, Chris Butler of The Waitresses and John and Toni Baumgartner of Speed The Plough.
The Swap focuses on solo acts. "That's basically what songwriting is, the person and the song. What we do is have three people in our stage area at a time. They each play three songs. One person plays a song and the next person plays a song and so on. You never get tired of anybody. Sometimes the song is a work in progress," said Shoshkes.
Performers for the Swap are found through networking. "We're connected to all these people. There's a wonderful community of songwriters in New Jersey. We all just kept reaching out further and further. Songwriting can be really lonely. You can go out and play shows, but the best audience is other songwriters. We really created an audience for each other," said Shoshkes.
Shoshkes is still an active songwriter. She was in the indiepop band The Cucumbers for a number of years with her husband, Jon Fried. She is working on an album with her current band, Deena & The Laughing Boys. Their second album will be released next year.
All of the shows are streamed live with the help of Turner's husband, Scott Anthony.
The Swap has its own YouTube channel that features clips from the shows along with other songs by the artists involved.
The latest edition of the Saturday Afternoon Song Swap takes place at Rockn' Joe at 63 Main Street in Millburn on Saturday, November 10 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Bob Cannon, David Cogswell, Malcolm Marsden, Sue Remus, Kavi Daniel Patak and Laree Cisco will be playing. Money and non-perishable food will be collected for the Community FoodBank of NJ's Hurricane Sandy relief effort.

Special to The Leader
The Orange Leader
Back by popular demand, "The Man Who Planted Trees," returns to the Lutcher Theater for the 2012-2013 Lutcher Incredible Kids Events Series. Two shows have been schedule, at 2 p.m., and 5:30 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 30. Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased now at www.lutcher.org or at 409-886-5535. The show will also be presented at 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., Monday, Oct. 1, primarily for school groups to enjoy, although these performances are also available to the public.
Produced by Puppet State Theatre Company of Edinburgh, Scotland, "The Man Who Planted Trees" is a multi-sensory theatrical adaptation of Jean Giono's environmental classic telling the inspiring story of a shepherd who plants a forest, acorn by acorn, transforming a barren wasteland. As much a touching tale as it is a hilarious puppet show, "The Man Who Planted Trees" shows us the difference one man, and his dog, can make to the world. This show is suitable for adults and children over 7.
The cast of this intimate show consists of two actors/puppeteers and the puppets the audience quickly grow to love. One such puppet is "Dog," a sharp-witted, enthusiastic and lovable pooch who helps narrate the endearing tale. The audience will actually smell the lavender fields and feel mist in the air as the narrative unfolds. The Lutcher sells only 250 seats for each performance, facilitating the intimacy of the story's setting.
Everyone attending the Sunday, September 30 performances will be invited to a "Tree Party," which will take place immediately following each of Sunday's shows. Lutcher families will have the opportunity to meet the cast, enjoy refreshments, and receive "Plant an Oak Tree" kits donated by Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center. Each kit will include a pot, soil, several acorns, and instructions for planting.
Oak trees are native to southeast Texas and are an important food source for wildlife. Trees not only beautify our property, but they can help to shave a few pennies off of our electric bills.
When planted near a house, oak trees provide excellent shade to help reduce the need for air conditioning in summer. In winter, trees planted near homes break the force of the wind and can lower heating costs. Trees also create oxygen and store carbon dioxide, helping to counter the effects of climate change.
Additionally, to further the celebration of tree planting, the group who brings the most members to each of the Sunday performances will receive a tree to plant at the location of their choice. Garden clubs, conservationist groups, church groups, and children's organizations are types of groups that are encouraged to attend "The Man Who Planted Trees" together.
This Lutcher "Fall Family Fun Event" is sponsored locally by Printpack Inc, and by the Nelda C. and H. J. Lutcher Stark Foundation. The Lutcher Theater for the Performing Arts is located at 707 Main, Orange, Texas.

Are the times really changing? Is Pennsylvania finally beginning to emerge from the dark ages?
One of any Pennsylvanian's biggest gripes has been in regard to the state's archaic liquor code, created just after the abolition of Prohibition, and rarely amended since. House Bill 242—the biggest alteration in modern history to the state's liquor code—was to change this.
After being passed by both the House and Senate, then signed off on by Governor Corbett, HB 242 addressed certain concerns regarding what some saw as pointless limitations on state liquor laws.
Breweries within the state are now permitted to sell beer in any size packaging directly to the consumer. Previously, a brewer was only permitted to sell kegs to the public, the smallest of which qualified as a 64 oz. "growler."
A licensed restaurant or pub that sells food before 11 a.m. on Sunday is now permitted to start selling alcohol at 9 a.m., basically wiping a former "blue law" off the books.
A consumer can now purchase liquor at retail directly from a distillery instead of just a state-owned liquor store.
What's great about this law change is that it seems to cover the interests of a licensee at just about every level. Brewpubs are now allowed to sell their beer for consumption at an off-site event for which they are catering. Beer distributors, previously limited to selling only cases of beer and snacks, are now allowed to sell beer-related periodicals and homebrewing equipment and supplies. They can also now open up at 9 a.m. on Sunday with a special permit.
Additional freedoms were also provided to state wineries, golf courses, and even places like the zoo. Under the current regulations,the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium would be able to obtain a liquor license for on-site sales.
Other areas added further restrictions, including a regulation that prevents any law enforcement agent, whether a police officer, state or municipal attorney, or judge, from owning any interest in a liquor-licensed establishment.
But probably the biggest signal of change coming from legislators is state Resolution No. 216, introduced in October of 2011.
This resolution directs "the legislative budget and finance committee to conduct an economic impact study of the brewery industry" in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It also specifically notes the contributions made by the numerous breweries of PA, not only to the local economy, but also their philanthropic and civic endeavors.
The resolution directs the budget and finance committee to help legislators understand the brewery industry by explaining its three-tier system, its current impact on the economy and tourism—as well as its impact to other industries within the Commonwealth—and the identification of any further changes to the current liquor code that "will continue to promote the growth of the brewery industry in the Commonwealth."
One fault that I see in this new resolution is what was previously—and explicitly—directed within the budget and finance committee, to define the liquor code and its administration in layman's terms, which assists those outside of the industry (and I'm sure some within) to understand the issues and challenges faced by those who have to work under the current framework.
This section was removed entirely from the current version, amended this past January.
Though few may ever fully understand the labyrinth of our state's liquor code, the changes coming through are encouraging signs; the state is finally beginning to recognize the benefits of having a strong brewing industry.
Even though faults remain, it shows initiative on the part of legislators and that things are progressing in a great direction for our craft beer community.

LAKE WYLIE — The Lake Wylie Plaza, a 77,265-square-foot retail property on Charlotte Highway, has sold for $3,174,559, said Bryn D. Merrey, regional manager of Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services' Raleigh office.
The plaza is owned by a limited liability company. The buyer, a private investment company in North Carolina, was not named.
"Lake Wylie Plaza offered several ways to add value and was marketed to cash-flow buyers and opportunistic investors," Merrey said. "It went under contract very quickly and the buyer assumed an existing mortgage with a 50 percent down payment."
At the time of sale, Lake Wiley Plaza was more than 90 percent leased to a mix of regional and local tenants including Fred's Stores Inc., Lake Wylie Pizza, Rey Azteca, Bagel Boat and Sportcenter Athletic Club.
Lake Wylie Plaza is on more than 11 acres on S.C. 49 near Buster Boyd Bridge, which carries more than 22,000 vehicles-per-day.

President Barrack Hussein Obama's presidency has become infamous in its ability of avoid blame. Like Teflon, nothing seems to stick to this phenom of a President. Likewise, the Republican Party, especially the members of the house, have become the Super Glue to Obama's Teflon. The economy? Republicans. Jobless rate? Republicans. Sequester? Republicans. Climate change? Republicans. Middle East trouble? Republicans. Gun violence? Republicans. And the list goes on and on and on and on...
Somebody help me with this, but I thought Obama won the last two elections. I thought that he was the President. Top dog. The leader of our country. The big kauhuna. Am I missing something here? No matter what ills the country has; no matter what is going wrong; for the first time in my life, nothing is blamed on the President. As a matter of fact, most President's have usually accepted responsibility for what ails us.
Harry S. Truman so eloquently defined responsibility when he stated; "The buck stops here." In other words, there is no one else to blame and he took personal responsibility of how the country was governed. He even placed a sign on his desk in the Oval Office to remind him of that very notion on a daily basis. This motto has been used by every President since. That is, until Obama.
The true testament to a good leader is that they take responsibility for the good and bad, of not just themselves, but everyone beneath them. Under this Administration, the President has managed to blame almost everyone but himself. For the first term of his presidency, you would have thought that George W. Bush was still occupying the White House. After all, everything was his fault.
Four years later, it has now become the Republican House members. Or the rich. Or the corporations. Or the TEA Party. Truth of the matter is that it is everybody else's fault. No, the buck doesn't stop anymore at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., but at E Capitol St NE & 1st St NE 20004, or better known as the U.S. Capitol Building.
Former President Ronald Reagan once proclaimed, "The era of big government is dead." Obama's proclamation reads more like, "The era of personal responsibility is dead." True leaders don't make excuses. True leaders get results. True leaders don't blame others.
If you wondering what is wrong with this country, on can simply point to the fact that this country is lacking leadership. When your one single, and what you claim to be your biggest accomplishment, the Affordable Care Act, doesn't even kick in until you pack your bags after second term, that is not leadership. When you you bring two budgets to the floor and not one person on either side of the aisle can vote for it, that is not leadership. When you pass the buck to the former President for nearly four years into your own, that is not leadership. And when you fail to even recognize the pending problems you face to try to pass your own agenda, that is not leadership.
Leaders find a way to get things done. They work within the system. But most of all, the own it. Obama could still be a leader. After all, he does have four more years. But it is not in his DNA. I spoke of it prior to his election win in 2008. The guy had voted present for 90% of the votes he took as an Illinois legislator and U.S. Senator. Sadly, my predictions have panned out. He has voted present on the economy, on foreign affairs, an unemployment and now the sequester facing this country. I see him as the kids running around in the Family Circus cartoons shouting "Not Me."
The legacy will be that Obama was the "Teflon President." And that is sad. So much was expected, yet so little was delivered.

Quote:Is the resolving power that of a 120mm scope?
Quote:Thanks, David. I was just interested in your impressions and don't want to stray from the topic of observing Jupiter. But, the concept interests me.
Quote:Nice sketch, amateurs are often able to catch new stuff on Jupiter as Jup comes out from behind the sun to start another observation season , I think GRSJr. was discovered this way.Great sketch again.
Quote:I can promise you I would not countenance such a loss of res! Close doubles (below 0.5") are well within reach with this setup - it's aperture spacing (as indicated to Ivano earlier) that determines/maintains resolution. I am out observing in a couple of hours and will push it - seeing allowing - to get further evaluation.

In the latest installment of Jenn's Fashionpreneur column on Fashionista.com, she talks about the best and worst pieces of advice she's received as an entrepreneur.
Rule number one of entrepreneurship is that the second you tell someone that you are thinking about starting a company, the floodgates of advice will open. Suddenly, friends, distant relatives and colleagues will frame themselves as experts on just about anything to create the opportunity to give you their opinion. This all stems from rule number one about people which is that they love to hear themselves talk (in fact, in any negotiation or interview, the person that speaks most believes that she has the upper hand). Since I had the idea for Rent the Runway nearly three years ago, my co-founder Jenny Fleiss and I have solicited and received lots of advice. The trick is the ability to decipher good advice from bad. So, in the efforts of saving all of you the trouble, I thought it best to list some of the very best and very worst advice I've received.
The Good
Find a partner. Starting a company is really, really hard. Not just from a workload or execution standpoint, but the emotional roller coaster is intense. Thank god that since day one, I have had an incredible partner to share the lows and incredible highs with. The day we launched (Nov 9, 2009), Rent the Runway was covered on the front page of the business section of the New York Times, an incredibly surprising and exciting moment. But, by far, the very best moment of that day was hugging, screaming and jumping up and down with Jenny when we came into the office. Every experience is better when it is shared!
Get your nails done. Yes, seriously! I was at a very important designer brand which shall forever
remain nameless, and the head of the brand pulled me aside after the meeting and said: "Jenn, I know you're new to this industry so I want to tell you something very important. Your nails are RUDE and inappropriate." (My three-day old manicure had a few chips). At first I was floored–like for real, the leader of one of the most prestigious brands ever is that superficial and has that little to do than to comment on my manicure?! But upon further reflection, I recognized and learned the lesson here: Know your audience and know your industry. The fashion industry is one where its leaders care a great deal for their personal brand – the clothes and makeup they use to present themselves to the world. If I'm going to play in their space, I have to play by their rules and respect what makes this industry fun, unique and slightly crazy
Sleep. One of my investors from Kleiner Perkins, Juliet de Baubigny, begins every conversation with me by asking how much sleep I got the night before. Not only is sleep important to stay healthy (and oh yes, to stay awake during intense days in the office) but the larger point is, create space for yourself to clear your mind. Some of my best ideas for how to grow Rent the Runway come when I'm not even thinking about the business – I may be at dinner with my boyfriend or at Physique or dreaming. Make time to sleep (and have a life) and the great ideas will come.
The Bad
Do not enter an industry where you have no experience. I believe that it is because Jenny and I didn't have experience in the fashion industry that we've been able to rethink some fundamental assumptions about the way it works and create an entirely new category of rental. Coming from outside the industry gives you a certain degree of naivety that enables you to blindly reach for the stars. A few months after we had the idea for Rent the Runway, we were introduced to Andrew Rosen. At the time, we had little idea who he was, how Mr. Rosen almost single handedly has transformed contemporary fashion and how many brands he directs. Had we known this, we might have been too scared to take the meeting or pitch him our idea. Naivety led to a better meeting where Andrew gave us the idea for our stylist team who could educate our younger customers on what to wear to every occasion.
Write a business plan. This one is the stupidest of them all. There is no reason to write a business plan – EVER! Strategizing for months is a complete waste of time and will likely give competitors ample time to start whatever you thought was such a genius idea and beat you to the punch. The better strategy is to just go for it, make mistakes, analyze quickly and make the appropriate changes. You can learn a lot more from buying dresses at retail, running trunk shows on college campuses and testing whether women will rent dresses (they did!) than by 'brainstorming' or 'market sizing'. Professors at Harvard Business School call this the minimum viable product approach. I just call it smart and way more fun.
You'll find the best talent when you hire a recruiter and look beyond your own network. When I look at the amazing team at Rent the Runway, I am absolutely amazed by how many of our very best people came through connections (albeit, some of them quite loose). For example, we met our Vice President of Brand Marketing Lara Crystal through a woman who I had interned with the summer before at McKinsey. People from your broader network are often pre-vetted and may exhibit more passion for your concept because they also feel a deeper connection to you personally. If you're starting a business, start first with people you trust. You're going to spending a huge amount of time with your team so select people who speak the same language as you (figuratively, but I guess literally too!).
- Jenn

What I Ate Wednesday Par-tay #42
65 comments:
I think you should just start a new "scrambled cheesecake" trend ;)ReplyDelete
Poor cheesecake!!! Good for you stuffing it back in there. Dropping it doesn't hurt the taste! I should know... I dropped an entire sheet of fig scones... IN the oven.ReplyDelete
- Jennifer NewcombWednesday, November 09, 2011
I really want to try that coconut yogurt!ReplyDelete
I'm sure the cheesecake still tastes good.ReplyDelete
- Jill @ Vegan in the KitchenWednesday, November 09, 2011
Would have done the same thing. Crossing my fingers I don't drop the one I'm making for a friend next week! Gotta try that green bean casserole. Yum!ReplyDelete
- GfgirlinchicagoWednesday, November 09, 2011
I love cheesecake so much I still would eat it if it fell on the floor...did I just type this out loud? Since having to go GF, I'm on a mission to make my own GF version. I'm excited to participate in my first WIAW post!ReplyDelete
haha! That's exactly what I would have done if I dropped my cheesecake. The 10-second rule still applies, right?ReplyDelete
And aren't the So Delicious Coconut Milk yogurts amazing?? I'm hooked.
Thanks for hosting WIAW, once again! :)
- Toni LeighWednesday, November 09, 2011
ooo I really want to try that brand of yogurt! Looks delicious. Sorry about your cheesecake! :( .. it still looks yummy though. Just thought I would let you know that I'm so anxious to join the WIAW party.. it's one of the things on my list to do when I'm done with school. Which is in 4 weeks... can't wait! I'll work on my photog skills too which have been sorely lacking in my last food posts. Thanks for all the inspiration! :)ReplyDelete
Nooooo re: dropped cheesecake. I would have cried. I'm so glad you were able to salvage it! Can't wait for the scallops recipe!! Yum!ReplyDelete
Oh no that cheesecake! Sounds like when Rachel and Chandler eat the cheesecake off the floor. Well, not that bad!ReplyDelete
I'm dying to try those So Delicious yoghurts! And that's exactly what I would've done with the cheesecake - why waste good food? :)ReplyDelete
Definitely still edible! Throw some graham cracker crumbs on the top and call it cheesecake pudding!ReplyDelete
Happy WIAW <3
Mmmm - I could go for some green bean casserole. I'm so ready for Thanksgiving! That's my fav side.ReplyDelete
Dropped cheessecake is definately still edible. Your eats all look delicious!ReplyDelete
Of all the foods to stuff back in the pan like nothing ever happened, cheesecake is the most worthy. I bet it tasted *good*.ReplyDelete
Just call your cheesecake a "cheesecake trifle" or "cheesecake pudding". There! Problem solved!ReplyDelete
Cheesecake pudding? :) Totally acceptable!ReplyDelete
im soooo jealous of the coconut milk yogurt!! Still not avail where I am yet :(ReplyDelete
I hope Roxy feels better soon!!!
Hope Roxy is feeling better real soon. I believe the cheesecake comes under the 5 second rule, doesn't it?!? ;-)ReplyDelete
oh no! I'm so sorry that happened. There is something to be said for salvaged baked goods though. I once made a bread pudding out of a failed bread. How is that yogurt? I obviously don't get it over here in London, but I'm going to look for it when I get home!ReplyDelete
i think WIAW is going through a mid life crisis, no? haha, jk. I have had way too many mishaps in the kitchen this week, good thing we a dog (vaccum).ReplyDelete
Oh nooo I am sorry the cheesecake incidence happened! But like you said, still tastes good at least :)ReplyDelete
I am certainly sending Roxy get well/healing vibes and prayers as we speak!
- Marlene SykesWednesday, November 09, 2011
Good looking eats, as always... except maybe the cheesecake. :) Have a great day and thanks for hosting!ReplyDelete
Thank you so so much! She needs it =( my poor babyReplyDelete
- Lindsay @ The Lean Green BeanWednesday, November 09, 2011
awww poor roxy. my cats ate half a stick of butter this morning so i'm sure i'll be babying them tonight :)ReplyDelete
thansk Lindsay. Hope your fuzzballs are ok!!!! Maybe let them eat a little wheat grass or regular grass to help their belly?ReplyDelete
- theskinnyarchitectWednesday, November 09, 2011
I hope Roxy is feeling better :-(. Poor baby ferret. I hate when pets are sick, you feel so helpless. She'll get better soon!!ReplyDelete
Thanks Ami!!!! I hope so too!ReplyDelete
The So Delish greek should be in more stores super soon! =)
My best to Roxy and your eats look good. I love clemetines but am having a very hard time finding them...maybe they are just uber popular around here. Happy Wednesday to you!ReplyDelete
They're EXPENSIVE right now! Should be more in season as it gets colder, then I bet you'll have a muuuuch easier time finding them! =)ReplyDelete
Aww yay! I'm soooo excited that you will be joining us! <3 It'll be fun!ReplyDelete
- Mandy SmithWednesday, November 09, 2011
I'm looking forward to the seared scallops recipe, yum!! It's been awhile since I've had them. Hope Roxy feels better sooon!!ReplyDelete
- Julia ChadwickWednesday, November 09, 2011
Confession: I totally LOL'd about your cheesecake mishap and that you actually put it back into the pan...nobody could ever tell it was dropped ;-)ReplyDelete
Hope your little fur-baby feels better!! Hudson woke me up at 6 am this morning by barfing on my leg....seems to be OK now though! Hope the rest of the week improves!!
Awww, poor sad cheesecake!! I hate kitchen fails...but I bet it still tasted good! :-)ReplyDelete
- jasrianaWednesday, November 09, 2011
I would have eaten six helpings of that casserole!ReplyDelete
And I am never going to stop being jealous of the US for having vegan Greek Yoghurt. The UK is SO far behind when it comes to vegan options.
I'm keeping Roxy in my thoughts and prayers! <3ReplyDelete
Totally jealous of your So Delicious Greek-style yogurt! I'm still searching for it! And I agree--a dropped cheesecake is still a cheesecake...delicious as ever!
I promise I'll do a WIAW this month...it's on my goal list! Love you, girlie!! xoxo
How do you feel about that nondairy yogurt? I am looking for one because regular yogurt hates my tummy... : )ReplyDelete
Thanks schnoookums! She needs it! Heck... I need it! What a mess life is sometimes!! But its worth it b/c I have awesome friends like YOU! <3 No stress on the party-age... I know you'll be back from more =) muahahaha! Hope this week is rockin' your socks!ReplyDelete
Maybe you could spend some time experimenting and MAKE one! =) I bet some xanthan gum and whipped coconut and then yummy add ins would make something glorious. I think you can actually purchase the healthy bacteria at health food stores too! there are some in liquid form and some in capsuls/powder... =) A lot of the stuff I heart isn't available where i live too if it makes you feel any better! It doesnt help that we always want what we cant have like 100x more eh? =)ReplyDelete
I'll post the veganized casserole recipe soon! I'm making it again today to take photos! <3
I seriously need to kick my butt in gear - I am missing out again this week :(ReplyDelete
- Libby @ The Allergic KidWednesday, November 09, 2011
It's nice to finally be back! Thanks for keeping this great event going.ReplyDelete
I feel for you with the cheesecake disaster. I managed to pour a pan of spaghetti down the sink the other day, then scooped it onto the plates as if nothing had happened. Luckily no one noticed the soap suds on it ;)ReplyDelete
Lots of warm wishes are on their way to Roxy for a speedy return to tip top condition. Oh and a big cuddle too <3 xx
I've been wanting to try that So Delicious yogurt but haven't found it yet. Does it have much protein?ReplyDelete
I hope Roxy is doing okay!
- Madeline WakelyWednesday, November 09, 2011
Can't wait for the seared scallops recipe! YUM!ReplyDelete
Another fabulous party and thinking tons about you and Roxy :)
I'm so jealous that you have the So Delicious Greek yogurt... I can't find it yet!!! :)ReplyDelete
- Emily MartinoWednesday, November 09, 2011
oh wow, a greek style vegan yogurt? i'm intrigued :) I hope I see that at the grocery store soon.ReplyDelete
I always enjoy seeing what others ate on WIAW and it's nice to see the "source". Sorry about dropping the cheesecake....everything looked delicious!ReplyDelete
- Ruth REYNOSO-SANCEWednesday, November 09, 2011
What a delicious day!! Hope your ferret feels better :(ReplyDelete
- jannabogertWednesday, November 09, 2011

I will post them SUPER soon! I made them on a whim the first time and when I tried to re-create them with measurements the second time around I made a HUGE mistake by trying to sear them in grapeseed oil! I failed my face off! So it looks like butter is the way to go with them! One more round of testing in the kitchen and they'll be blog ready! =)ReplyDelete
oh MREs... girl my marine made me eat like TWO of them over the last few years and I still haven't recovered! My heart goes out to your hubby! (and mine who will be knee deep in them again soon enough! eep!)
TOTALLY something I would do! Whooo to you for pulling off the spaghetti save! =) hehe!ReplyDelete
Roxy seems to be feeling better! She's finally a little bit mobile but its usually just to beeline for the peanut butter jar. I spoil her when she's sick ;)

The National Weather Service has upgraded the forecast for tomorrow's predicted storm from a winter storm watch to a winter storm warning as of Thursday afternoon.
The storm will affect most of our area the hardest from Friday night through Saturday morning. Depending on the track of the storm there could be snow accumulation of anywhere from 6 to 10 inches as well as "possibly a trace of ice,' according to the warning.
There may be some snow on Friday morning that is expected to shift temporarily to rain before the full force of the snow is expected to arrive into Friday evening. As much as one or two inches of snow could fall per hour with winds upwards of 40 MPH making for more hazardous conditions. There is also a chance for a thunderstorm rolling through.
By Saturday morning the snow is expected to slow down making for a sunny and windy start to the weekend.
The storm also has a coastal flood watch for Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex Counties during the same timeframe. The National Weather Service is warning there could be minor flooding during high tide on Friday night and moderate flooding with Saturday's high tide.

Boss Day gift giving can be tough. Right off the bat, you are trying to buy the perfect gift for your Boss and that can be nerve racking. Your boss is the one who will decide or significantly influence your destiny in the company. Thus, don't give him/her a lame gift on Boss's Day. Since we specialize in Office Toys and unique corporate gifts, we felt it was time to provide some help to those seeking the ideal Boss Day Gift.
Buy a physical thing – Not a gift card and not lunch. That stuff is not memorable. Buy them something to display in their workspace. That means they will remember your kindness all day, every day, forever.
Don't be late – Give it to them on Boss's Day and not after Boss's Day. Giving a Boss Day gift says "I really appreciate you and I'm on my game". Giving a Boss Day gift late says "whoops, I blew it". Not giving a Boss Day gift at all is, well, not advisable.
How much to spend – This is the classic question surrounding Boss Day Gifts. The amount you spend is directly proportional to how much you like your boss or how badly you want a promotion. Our research indicates the perfect amount, in most cases, is $20.
Personality Type – Get your Boss a gift that corresponds to their personality type. You'll really score if you match the gift with their true self. Here are some of personality types to get you thinking:
Outside of work Interests – People tend to have little reminders of stuff they love in their office. Ask yourself "what do they love to do when they are not at work?". Since I love to fish, for instance, I'm a sucker for fish oriented toys on my desk. Here are some ideas:
We hope this helps you nail the perfect Boss Day Gift this year. For more ideas, please see our Boss Day Gift Guide Here. We are happy to offer you free Boss Day Gift consulting, just call us at 800-458-1948 or email us.

We make work fun!
Bad business decisions are something every company tries to avoid, but they happen. Some legendary ones include the makers of M & M's decision to not allow their candy to appear in the movie ET. Reese's Pieces were used instead and the sales exploded. Jerry Yang decided to walk away from Microsoft and missed out on receiving $44.6 billion of Bill Gates' money. Many book editors rejected the Harry Potter book series and Decca Records had the opportunity to sign the Beatles and didn't.
An example of important decision making can be shown through choosing stock investments. The Chicago Sun-Times wanted to illustrate the often chance nature of picking stocks, so they had a monkey sit on newspaper stock pages and make marks on five stocks. As of January 2007, the stock-picking monkey had beaten the market four years running.
If you don't have the resources to hire a monkey, perhaps a fortune-telling item such as the Wall Street Guru Ball, the Mystical Orb, or the time honored Magic 8 Ball may help. The Dartboard Decision Maker is a fun and active alternative.
Next time you're faced with a landmark decision, give the Affirmation Ball a shake; its response might be "Brilliant Idea!" However, the Sarcastic Ball might warn "Not a Chance!" and the Wall Street Guru might suggest "Ride it Out". The Dartboard Decision Maker offers many options. Give it a spin and toss the dart, which might land on "Take a Vacation," "Stay Late," "Call a Meeting," "Hire" or "Retire". A fortune telling ball or decision maker may not offer the appropriate advice, but it's sure to generate some lighthearted stress relief.
Are you still bringing donuts to meetings? WAIT! You don't need to do that anymore. There's a better way to get everyone energized and excited at your next meeting. It's simple: bring toys, not donuts.
We all know that donuts are bad for you and the sugar crash is a serious downer. Bringing donuts to meetings is like saying, "Here, I hope you all feel sick for the next 5 hours and act like zombies all afternoon." Donuts only take a minute to eat, give you heartburn and require an extra workout to burn off the empty calories. On the other hand, a good office toy is long-lasting, stress relieving and brightens up your workspace.
Note the health considerations of Donuts versus Toys:
Have some fun at your next meeting and bring a box of office toys. Who knows, maybe you'll impress your boss so much, you'll get further in your career (we make no guarantees).
Be more playful and bring some fun and health to your office...Bring toys, not donuts!

Interpretation is the oral form of translation. There are several different types of interpretation from consecutive to simultaneous to over-the-phone to video. What do they all have in common? LinguaLinx offers all of them. What makes them different, and which option is best for you? Keep reading.
Consecutive Interpretation
Think of consecutive interpretation as a conversation – both start with "c." The interpreter waits until speaker is done speaking before relaying the message to the listener in the listener's language and then back to the speaker in their language. Consecutive interpretation works best in small group settings or in one-on-one type situations. Common types of events include parent-teacher conferences, student testing, HR meetings, interviews, medical consultations, court depositions, and client-attorney meetings. The downside to this type of interpretation is that it can take a long time when going back and forth between speaker, interpreter, and listener.
Simultaneous Interpretation
Simultaneous interpretation happens as the speech is in progress, hence the term "simultaneous." Have you ever watched a speech being given by a public figure on television with someone standing off to the side signing? That is an example of simultaneous interpretation. This type of interpretation works best for formal or large group settings such as courtrooms, employee trainings, diplomatic conferences, lectures, presentations, tours, or business and board meetings. (Usually when there is one person speaking to an audience.) Equipment such as wireless receivers, headsets, and microphones are typically involved to help the interpreter relay the message to the audience.
Over the Phone Interpretation (OPI)
The first two options we talked about are great for face-to-face events or events that are planned in advance. What happens when you need an interpreter in 24 hours or less? Some examples of these instances might occur if you have a conference call with an international contact or an ER patient in your hospital that you need to communicate with. We offer this service in over 100 different languages. The advantages to this type of interpretation are that it's on-demand, no equipment to lease, set-up fees, travel expenses, etc. The disadvantages are that since the interpreter is not present in person, things such as context or speaker expressions might get construed.
Video Remote Interpretation (VRI)
This type of service uses devices such as web cameras, videophones, or other services such as SkypeTM to provide interpretation services for sign language or spoken language interpretation. The interpreter is usually offsite, hence "remote," while the other two parties are located at together at a site. How does it work? This involves audio and video connectivity. In the case of American Sign Language (ASL), the interpreter would listen to the hearing participant and then convey the message to the deaf person via signing and vice versa. This also works for emergency room settings and on-demand situations, and cuts down on travel costs for interpreters.
It is important to make your message available in whatever language, no matter which method you choose. Interpretation can help ensure information is conveyed accurately and appropriately from one party to another.

About Us
Company History & Reputation
Hayward® Flow Control, a division of Hayward Industries, Inc., has been manufacturing industrial thermoplastic valves and process control products for more than 50 years. We have remained committed to producing the highest quality products while providing outstanding service that exceeds customer expectations. Hayward has earned an unsurpassed reputation for product design, manufacturing precision, quality assurance, experience and know-how, and a total commitment to customer satisfaction and support.
Irving M. Hayward formed Hayward Industries in 1923. It was a small company, located in Brooklyn, NY, making specialty metal valves and industrial flow control products. When Mr. Hayward retired in 1964, its present management acquired the company. With that, a new period of growth and diversification began, one that continues to this day. Management realized an opportunity existed for thermoplastic, rather than metal, swimming pool filters and accessories, and diversified into the swimming pool market. Rapid growth in the pool business resulted in the creation of Hayward Pool Products, Inc. At the same time, through a combination of acquisitions, modernization of the manufacturing facilities and product innovations, the industrial thermoplastic valve and pipeline strainer business grew as well—and became Hayward Flow Control.
When Selecting Thermoplastic Valves and Process Control Products, Consider the Following:
Reliable by design, Hayward valves are designed using the latest state-of-the-art equipment. Our Computer Aided Design (CAD) system, linked to finite element software, provides accurate and essential stress analysis. Hayward valves are designed to be strong, with material where it counts. Pressure and prolonged operation will not fatigue Hayward valves, allowing them to provide years of maintenance-free service.
As an ISO 9001:2008 certified company, Hayward Flow Control adheres to the strictest guidelines relative to component manufacture, assembly, and testing. Hayward valves and flow controls are 100% tested with the latest industry testing equipment. Every Hayward product must pass pneumatic/hydrostatic tests before it is released for shipment. Our reputation for quality and reliability is unmatched. Our commitment to, and support of, the industry is strong. In addition to a tradition of experience and expertise, Hayward also has a highly qualified field sales organization that provides customer assistance, training, and field support.
Hayward remains dedicated to new product development and innovative process technology that produces high quality, reliable products and, ultimately, total customer satisfaction. We will continue to advance fluid process technology as the leading American manufacturer of industrial thermoplastic valves and process control products.
Hayward Pool Products, Inc., is the largest manufacturer of swimming pool equipment in the world. It manufactures and distributes products that move, clean, heat, light, and control the flow of water in commercial and residential swimming pools across the globe. The swimming pool equipment manufactured includes pool filters used to continuously clean the pool water, pumps that circulate the water, and fittings such as skimmers, automatic vacuum cleaners, chlorinators, heaters, and underwater lights—including fiber optic systems.
Hayward Pool Products is headquartered in Elizabeth, NJ and can be contacted by phone at (908) 351-5400 or by fax at (908) 351-5675.

SIEA Flap-Superficial Inferior Epigastric Artery Flap
In some patients, half of the lower abdominal tissue can be supported by this superficial blood vessel located between the skin and abdominal wall fascia in the groin. When present and of adequate size, the benefit of using this flap is that no incision is made in the abdominal fascia, and the muscle remains untouched. It is truly a "skin only" operation, with no risk of hernia formation or abdominal wall weakness. The disadvantage of this flap is that it cannot utilize more than one side of the lower abdominal tissue.

Soaking the poor: House tax hikes continue
New York State has the highest cigarette tax in the nation. A study commissioned by the New York Department of Health last year found that the high taxes did not discourage smoking among low-income smokers, ABC News reported last September. Rather, the poor just paid more - as much as a quarter of their income - for cigarettes. The study's author concluded that "low-income smokers are disproportionately burdened by these taxes."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found in 2011 that "(s)moking prevalence generally decreased with increasing education and was higher among adults living below the poverty level (28.9%) than among those at or above the poverty level (18.3%)." That is, cigarette taxes fall disproportionately upon the poor.
The Department of Revenue Administration estimates that House Bill 659 would raise between $6.7 million and $11.9 million. The bill does not earmark those funds for smoking-cessation programs. So the bill would raise taxes on the poor and middle class to fund the general government. Again, this comes just one week after the House voted to hit everyone with a $1 billion gas tax hike, which would hurt low-income drivers the most. If you smoke and drive and you voted for Democrats in November because you wanted to "soak the rich," the joke's on you, pal.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — Children are watching
I'm writing this letter because my children and I witnessed a disturbing scene on a Friday afternoon, the beginning of Memorial Day weekend. While sitting at a stop light on the corner of 14th and Division streets, we saw a family of ducks, a mother with about 10 babies, attempting to cross Division Street. Several vehicles slowed to let the procession pass but a late-model white SUV slowed for about five seconds and then decided just to run through the duck family, killing two babies and confusing the rest. Many other motorists waited patiently (maybe 10 to 15 more seconds?) for mama duck to gather her remaining babies and reach safety.
Meanwhile, I was left to explain to my two children why the SUV driver would plow through and kill innocent creatures like that only to save a few seconds. Where were they going and why didn't they stop? I still don't know what to say; I'm just sorry we all had to witness it.
Please drive safely and take care. And please remember, children are watching.

The same Ed Rice?
The other night a woman stopped by my house and left a flier to vote for Ed Rice for a position on the Board of Directors at Cherryland Electric Cooperative. Within this flier Ed Rice stated he had 40 years experience in the utility business, but he failed to state doing what and for which company or companies.
I can only wonder if this is the same Ed Rice who was the director of Traverse City Light & Power.
n Could he be the same Ed Rice who promoted the failed biomass plant?
n Could he be the same Ed Rice who ignored the overwhelming concerns of the people and taxpayers at public meetings regarding biomass?
n Could he be the same Ed Rice who was the Director of Traverse City Light and Power and no longer is?
Until I know who this Ed Rice is, I'm not voting for Ed Rice to be on the Board of Directors for my power company — Cherryland Electric Cooperative.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 4 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by NOPROFORM DO NOT BUY FROM PROFORM We bought the ProForm Power treadmill from Proform.com and couldn't be unhappier. When putting together the treadmill we found out that there were pieces missing from the box. After calling Proform to get the issue resolved the wanted to charge us for the parts (saying most likely we lost them) and charge extra for the shipping of the parts. I've never been more unsatisfied in my life. We have contacted the Better Business Bureau to try and get the issue resolved. We even bought the 4 year extended warranty. I recommend going with a different brand altogether. January 23, 2013

Ted Purdy
2005 Byron Nelson Classic Winner
"I began wearing a Q-Link pendant about three months ago. Since then I have focused with greater clarity and have performed better under pressure. The greatest benefit I have to show is my first PGA Tour victory, which I am ecstatic to say Q-Link played a big role in."
Mark Calcavecchia
Broke 48 year PGA scoring record while wearing Q-Link
"When I started wearing the Q-Link in 2001 it was best streak of playing golf I have ever had. I feel calmer, less nervous and less anxious, which is a good hing in professional golf."
Lorena Ochoa
U.S. Senior Open Winner
"Since I started using my Q-Link, I have won 3 times and I feel calmer in tough situations, it really makes a diffence under pressure. It works for me."
Bruce Fleisher
U.S. Senior Open Winner
"The tournament before the Senior Open, I put on the Q-link and finished second. The next week I went out and won the Open. I definitely feel calmer since I began wearing the Q-Link. I would have to say in situations where I hit a bad shot, it didn't bother me as much. I find It easier to recover now from a bad shot. I don't know how it works or what it does, but if you ask me if I'm going to take it off, I say hell no! You don't fool with success!"
Birdie Kim
Women's U.S Open Champion
"The Q-Link has helped me with my energy and focus on and off the course and it played a significant role in my victory at the U.S. Open."
Dr. Joseph Parent
Mental Game/Performance Enchancement Coach for PGA, LPGA, Tour Professionals Club Pros and top amateurs.
Recently featured on CHN Headline News.
"The Q-Link ia a powerful tool for golfers, enhancing performance under the stress of competition, it reduce mental 'chatter' and distraction, making it easier to focus, concentrate, and ease into the settled, even flow of being in the Zone. Don't tee off without it!"
Tim Petrovic
"Before I began wearing the Q-Link in late 2002, I was somewhat streaky and incosistent. If you want to be more focused and consistent, the Q-Link is must. The Q-Link is as important to me as a driver or putter. It is a necessity."
Charles Howel III
"I first started wearing the Q-Link in June of 2002. I shortly therafter won the Michelob Championship at Kingsmill in October, and it hasn't come off since."
Gerry James
2002 World Long Drive Champion
"As the 2002 leading money winner on the Pinnacle Long Drive Tour, I feel the Q-Link has helped me crush the ball as far as I possibly can. I wore the Q-Link in all of my victories, and wouldn't be without it."
Tom Pernice Jr.
"The Q--Link's been wonderful for me. It's really helped me relax, and focus much better on the golf course. I don't get nearly as uptight as I did before. All in all, it's a magical product. I'm amazed. I'm loving it so far."

City residents likely would see a reduction in emergency medical services if Grand Traverse Metro Fire Department replaces the city's fire department.
Traverse City staffs its fire department with paramedics who carry drugs and medical equipment to provide advanced life support. Paramedics can start IVs, open airways, and administer drugs. The city also can transport patients to Munson Medical Center, but instead relies on Munson's ambulance service, North Flight EMS.
Metro provides basic life support with emergency medical technicians and relies on North Flight to provide advanced life support.
Metro won't provide advanced life support to Traverse City, said Chuck Korn, Garfield Township supervisor and a member of the three-township authority that oversees Metro.
"We do the things we do, we do them very well, and we are not going to change," Korn said. "We don't have enough to provide paramedics to all of Metro and the city and we are not going to offer two levels of service,"
Korn said advanced life support is unnecessary, considering city residents are just minutes from Munson Medical Center.
"Minutes mean a lot when you are not breathing or your heart has stopped," countered Capt. Theo Weber of the Traverse City Fire Department.
Traverse City Firefighters Association President Chad Rueckert said the choice for city residents is between a regional service from North Flight or one dedicated to the city.
"We are housed in the city and will always be there first by minutes," Rueckert said. "Sometimes we've waited over 10 or 15 minutes for an ambulance. North Flight is not dedicated to the city, they are dedicated to wherever they are needed."

St. Patrick's Royale Ewing (25) reacts after scoring during a game against St. Joseph in the Catholic League/East Suburban Catholic Challenge on Saturday, December 15, 2012, at Loyola Academy. | Chandler West~For Sun-Times Media
Royale Ewing admits to always being excited about playing St. Joseph. "They are one of the premier Catholic League programs in the state," he said.
The senior St. Patrick guard staked his own claim, for his team and his individual brilliance, by scoring 15 of his game-high 26 points in the second half as the Shamrocks overcame an eight-point third quarter deficit to knock out the No. 8 Chargers 61-54 in the Chicago Catholic League/East Suburban Conference Challenge Saturday at Loyola in Wilmette.
Ewing scored seven points during a 15-2 Shamrocks' run that turned a 36-28 deficit into a 43-38 lead to start the fourth quarter. "I just went out there and played the way I try to every game," Ewing said.
"I thought the key to the game was our defensive effort in the third quarter, where we really got after them and played tough, aggressive defense," St. Patrick coach Mike Bailey said.
Senior guard Elijah Watson (11 points) scored seven points in the second half to support Ewing. "Royale was at the free throw line in the third quarter and I told him it was time to put our foot down and take control of the game," Watson said. "We knew we had to start making them miss shots instead of just hoping they would, and that's what we started doing.
Senior swingman Keith Langston, a transfer from Young, scored 13 points and added eight rebounds for the Shamrocks. His assist to sophomore Nicholas Coleman on a three-pointer punctuated the third quarter run.
St. Patrick (7-2) forced turnovers on the Chargers' first two possessions of the fourth quarter, converting them into fast-break lay ups for a 47-38 lead. St. Joseph played an overtime game against Providence Friday night and appeared tired in the second half.
"Mentally we are making too many mistakes to beat these kind of teams," St. Joseph coach Gene Pingatore said. Senior A.J. Patty picked up two early fouls and was ineffective against the Shamrocks. "We need more from our inside players right now," Pingatore said.
Junior 6-6 forward Karriem Simmons scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Chargers (5-4), who have lost three of their last four games. Senior Paul Turner contributed 10 points and sophomore guard Glynn Watson added eight points.
