One of the interesting aspects of life is following the passage of time. I don't know if you're like me, but I struggle to stay on top of the current date. Yes, I'm that bad. I often don't know what date it is. Then, when I find out, I'm shocked. "The 25th! It can't be the 25th! It was just the 12th!" Has that ever happened to you?
After conducting an intensive one-person study over a matter of days, the consumed staff has determined that people do suffer from a phenomenon we call "Stopped Time Theory." People afflicted with this debilitating problem struggle acutely with keeping up with the natural progression of time. They are bound to an unrealistic optimism in which time, for multi-day periods, apparently stops. Sufferers of the disorder commonly discover their symptoms at key points in life, including, but not limited to, bill payment periods, family birthdays, relational anniversaries, paper due dates, and the like. Here's a good way to determine whether you suffer from "STT," as some call it. Have you ever showed up for class, found out you had a test that period, and thought, "That's impossible! It's not the 29th! Isn't it, like, the 4th?" Or, have you ever looked at a bill on, say, the 25th, saw it was due on the 2nd, and calculated the distance between the two dates as much larger than it was? "Oh, I've got like two weeks to pay that. No sweat." If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may well suffer from STT.
The bad news about STT is that if you suffer from it, you are an idiot. You have little hope for a cure besides regular injections of good old common sense, available in large quantities from people you've historically ignored, including, but not limited, your mother, grandmother, teachers, aunts, uncles, older siblings, and all other adults. You will likely have to accept a drastic treatment plan which will include extended sessions with a planner/day-timer/Palm Pilot. These sessions will drain you, but they will also cure you. Then, you will put STT behind you. At least, that's what many survivors say. I said it once, but I can't remember when. Then again, time does pass so quickly, doesn't it?

My new pattern, Chevron Baby Blanket and Chevron Throw, is available now on Ravelry. Reminiscent of the "Ripple" crochet afghans that my grandmother used to make, this pattern calls for sport weight yarn to create a medium weight blanket.
I used Knitpicks Brava Sport Yarn, a 100% Premium Acrylic yarn. A big plus for blankets – this yarn is machine washable and can be tumble dried.

I thought y'all might be amused by some knitting misadventures. Today, after casting on a new sock, I picked up the "tail" and knit with it until there was almost nothing left. The photo was taken once I started unknitting my mistake. :)
I do this more often than I care to admit! Has this ever happened to you?
PS My new favorite cast on is the long tail method. :)

I started these socks, or rather this sock as there is still only one, a while ago. I'm using my own hand dyed yarn for the first time and MadelineTosh sock yarn in Edison Bulb ( I really heart this colorway). Since my own yarn is OOAK and the skein is only about 400 yards, I decided to use the Edison Bulb as a contrast color for the toe and the afterthought heel which I'll try once I knit the the second sock to this point. I'm knitting these socks for my son and I've had some dilemmas about leg length. Very nerve-wracking when using a one-of-a-kind yarn! First, I tried knitting this sock with a heel flap but got very nervous about the amount of yarn I had. And so I frogged the sock back and marked for an afterthought heel.
Then, I became concerned about the leg length and again I frogged the sock back to make it a little shorter. Since I was away from home for most of my knitting time, I didn't have access to a scale to determine how much yarn was left and the cake of yarn was looking mighty small! I'm pretty sure I'll have enough for the 2nd sock since I'm now home and constantly weighing the remaining yarn.
And speaking of socks for my son, I was taking some of his laundry out of the dryer and look what I noticed on a store-bought (not HandKnit) sock:

Yesterday, I attempted my first batch of homemade liquid laundry detergent for hand washables. Specifically, I wanted to make something to hand wash my HandKnit items and my handdyed yarns.
After reading many blogs and "recipes" on the web, I found out that most homemade liquid laundry detergents generally were made from the following:
* a gentle bar soap such as Ivory, Zote or Fels-Naptha
* Washing Soda
* Borax
* Water
I made a hybrid using the recipes from several blogs and websites including Wellness Mama, and In Honor of Design. I halved the recipes a bit too:
Here's what I came up with:
1 bar of Ivory soap
1 cup Washing Soda
Based on some other "recipes", I omitted the Borax from my mine because I want a super gentle "wash in the sink" detergent. Also, from what I read, Borax is more often used when washing items in hot water which I did not plan on with the detergent that I would make.
Grate the soap into a container (I used a handheld grater).
Add the soap to a pot containing about half a gallon of boiling water. Stir until dissolved.
Fill a large container with about 2 to 2.5 gallons of hot tap water and add 1 cup of Washing Soda. Stir until dissolved. Add hot soap mixture. Stir again.
Put lid on container and let sit overnight. (Honestly, at this point I was very skeptical about whether this mixture would thicken).
In the morning, take off the lid and stir. (The mixture was actually a bit gelatinous. I imagine stirring or shaking before using will be necessary).
Pour into clean, empty bottles. I used some mason jars and some plastic bottles from the craft store. It's a good idea to use a funnel.
Use as you would other liquid laundry detergent for hand washables.
Disclaimer: I made this detergent to hand wash delicates. I do not intend to use it in a washing machine. It is not intended for any other purpose.
I'm just about finished with a new knitting pattern that includes instructions for both a throw and a baby blanket. I'm using Knitpicks Brava Sport Yarn. It's great for blankets! Here's a sneak peek:
The pattern should be posted on Ravelry in a day or two. Check back here for details.

I recently saw a great DIY clutch made from clear vinyl that I knew would make a perfect project bag. However, as a knitter, a few changes were needed to keep yarn from snagging on the no-sew edges. Here's what I came up with:
And, voila! a cute little project bag that can fit in a purse. It can even be used as a clear bag when you go out. But note, be careful with knitting needles and other small objects: they could potentially slip out the corners.
Next up, do I get my dusty sewing machine out and try a "sew" version? There is definitely enough left over vinyl. (I bought a yard and it is about 54 inches wide). At a minimum, I will make a few no-sew cosmetic bags for my daughter and me.

An Austrian conductor and composer of symphonies and lieder cycles whose most notable works include Das Lied von der Erde (1909) and Symphony No. 9 (1909).
was known for the length, depth, and painful emotions of his works. He loved nature and life and, based on early childhood experiences, feared death (family deaths, a suicide, and a brutal rape he witnessed). This duality appears in almost all his compositions, especially in the Kindertotenlieder ("Songs on the Deaths of Children"), which are actually about the loss of an innocent view of life.
's orchestral music is clear, complex, and full of musical imagery, from the heavenly to the banal (the family lived near a military barracks, so march tunes sometimes appear; an argument was associated with the sound of a hurdy-gurdy outside the window). The "program" in the incredible symphonies is therefore that of personal tragedy and hope projected onto a universal scale. The traumas of the 20th century are expressed in the Symphony No. 9 (especially the Adagio); the elusiveness of beauty and its loss among harshness and modern tragedies are the subjects of the first and fifth symphonies.
discovered the verbal expression of this auditory imagery in poems translated from the Chinese of the T'ang dynasty; Das Lied von der Erde ("The Song of the Earth") was the musical result, expressing the transience of all things in a mixture of warmth and severe beauty.

When I heard Paul McCartney was coming to Bankers Life Fieldhouse this month on his "Out There" tour, I had to try for seats. The Beatles were my favorite band growing up. So original, I know. But my parents came of age during Beatlemania, and Dad's well-played collection of original LPs were a bridge between us during my teen years, when I was tempted to believe that he and Mom had never been cool, that they couldn't ever understand my life. Instead, Dad and I wailed together in the car to "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and harmonized on our old plaid couch to "Two of Us," the first (and one of the last) songs I learned to play on the guitar.
Then I looked at ticket prices. Ouch. Even the nosebleeds were around $100 a pop. Sir Paul can't still be paying off that $50 million divorce settlement with Heather Mills, I thought. I checked Forbes. He made $57 million last year alone! C'mon, McCartney.
I brought out my debit card, figuring we'd eat out fewer times to justify the purchase. I had seen "the cute Beatle" once already, on a sticky August night a few years ago, at a big outdoor concert in a park. The then-67-year-old danced around and did the Twist, and his buoyant lilt, though a little hoarser than in his mop-top days, carried easily over the 50,000-strong lawn. I thought then that it might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but here was another chance. Wouldn't it be worth the stretch? Only he knows how much longer he will be able to tour, and he's never mentioned it to me. I'm not on his Christmas-card list.
Thankfully, Bankers Life won't be so crowded as that August concert. It might be easier to spot me on July 14 in my upper-deck perch, bouncing in anticipation. Five days later, my dad will turn 60. He looks younger, still ruddy-cheeked like Paul. We won't be able to be together on his birthday. All the same, I'll call him from my stadium seat 500-plus miles away if Sir Paul plays "In My Life," Dad's favorite, and hold up the phone so he can listen. Another chance to bond over a long-broken-up band, while we can. The two of us.

Does anybody recommend Bonobo's
I have eaten there, it seems fine, not too exciting. They have a salad bar with pick your toppings, which are mostly organic. They make uncooked "pates" - which are blended nuts like sunflower seeds, walnuts, with herbs like dill - pretty tasty. They also have salads like broccoli salad or carrot/sesame salad - pretty tasty. I had some raw desserts, made with agave sugar and sesame seeds - all raw, not worth the price, or the calories, in my opinion. Overall, food was good, but not worth the price, and I was missing some hard core protein - I know nuts have some protein but not enough, I don't want to eat a ton of nuts due to all the fat. I much prefer Lifethyme Market, which has raw food, an organic food bar, and organic/vegan baked good, which are the best! I am lactose intolerant so I have started trying vegan desserts to satisfy my sweet tooth, and I am a convert - love love their raspberry tollbooth cookie - heavenly. Please someone out there agree with me!

Brad Maddox
Real Name
Tyler Kluttz
Date of Birth
May 4, 1984
Place of Birth
Despite spending a couple of years as a developmental wrestler, Byron Saxton is not expected to wrestle at all for WWE. The company plans on only using him as an on screen and backstage asset. Many compare his situation to that of Brad Maddox, another trained in ring performer who is only being utilized in a speaking role.
March 3, 2014
A day before the company is expected to eliminate a lot of jobs, WWE has come to terms on the release of Ricardo Rodriguez, who stated that the decision belonged to him. The former manager of Alberto Del Rio reiterated that he wanted to be an in ring performer again. Rodriguez had been training in developmental in hopes that management would finally give him a chance. When that opportunity appeared dismal, he opted to move on to the next chapter of his career.
July 30, 2014
With his in ring career fully behind him now, Tensai has been slowly gaining power backstage in WWE. He impressed management with his ability to function as a color commentator. Now, he has convinced them to let him have a bigger part in the company by training the developmental wrestlers. WWE likes the fact that Tensai has worked overseas and is familiar with a lot of different styles of wrestling.
July 26, 2014
Over the last couple of months, there have been plenty of rumors in regards to WWE signing international star Prince Devitt to a contract. Things heated up even more when he left New Japan. Things died down a bit when no announcement was made, but it looks like the rumor mills are heating up again. Reports are surfacing that the deal has now been reached, and he should be showing up to developmental soon.
July 23, 2014
One the things that made Kenta Kobayashi so famous in Japan was his diverse moves set. Unfortunately, though, a lot of his signature maneuvers cannot e utilized in WWE. His Go 2 Sleep finisher is commonly associated with CM Punk nowadays. His knee finisher and submission move are both being used by Daniel Bryan. The belief is that WWE will have him come up with new moves in developmental.
July 20, 2014
Triple H might be downplaying his arrival to the developmental program, but Kenta Kobayashi is far from a regular new performer joining WWE. Internally, he is being viewed as a major marketing asset as the company is hoping to expand its reaches in Japan. A television network has already agreed to air WWE NXT since Kobayashi will be featured on those shows. The Japanese star is also set to help promote the WWE Network when it expands overseas.
July 17, 2014
While he has already said his farewell to Ring of Honor fans, Kevin Steen is reportedly not under contract to WWE just yet. Word has it that he has yet to complete the medical testing that the company requires all new performers to undergo before signing a deal. If there are any lingering injuries, then there is a chance that Steen might not be picked up by the WWE developmental program.
July 16, 2014
Even though he had already established himself as one of the top performers overseas, Kenta Kobayashi is actually being sent to the developmental program by WWE. Management wants him to change up his style a bit and adopt the slower pace style that the company prefers. No word yet on how long Kobayashi will be required to stay down at the WWE Performance Center.
July 12, 2014
When LeiD Tapa was released by TNA back in March, there were rumors that she might be a candidate to join the WWE developmental program. However, the company has shown very little interest thus far. In fact, she has not even been invited for a tryout yet. While some are citing her lack of experience, which she is trying to fix by working with OVW, many are pointing out that WWE has had no qualms with signing female performers who have absolutely no experience in the wrestling industry before.
July 8, 2014
Many were under the impression that WWE was not interested in signing Rosita, as nothing took place after she did tryouts with the company. However, there are rumors floating around that management might have had a change of heart. Many see her appearances as an entourage of Adam Rose recently as a sign that WWE will be offering her a developmental contract soon.
July 3, 2014
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Bo Dallas had gotten married. Now, the identity of the bride has been discovered. It's Sarah Backman, a former WWE developmental diva. She's more known to the world as one of the top female arm wrestlers of all time. Sarah requested her release from the company a couple of months back after having quite the lackluster tenure in the developmental program.
June 28, 2014
Earlier in the week, it was revealed that Michelle McCool had visited the WWE Performance Center to help train some of the developmental divas. That led to speculations that Undertaker was there as well. Contrary to the rumors, he was not there. The legendary performer has largely stayed away from the business since his match against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 30.
June 26, 2014
While she still has every intention of being a stay at home mother and wife, Michelle McCool decided to get out of the house on Monday. She made a visit to the WWE Performance Center. No word yet on why she was there this time around, but she has been known to drop in and help do a little training with the developmental divas. Her appearances always spark rumors of a return to WWE, so don't be surprised if the chatter increases over the next few days.
June 24, 2014
After suffering a massive drop a couple of weeks ago, WWE stock started rising this past week. Many within the company attribute that to the release of several wrestlers. That has caused a lot of fear backstage because performers feel that Vince McMahon could take that as a sign for him to release several more people. Rumors are circulating that a lot of developmental wrestlers will be released soon.
June 17, 2014
While Eddie Guerrero and Vickie Guerrero both became big stars for WWE, their daughter Shaul Guerrero was simply not able to follow in their footsteps. After being released twice from the company's developmental program, she has decided to take a different career path. Shaul has signed up for veterinarian school and has reportedly started attending classes for that.
June 16, 2014
Even though the mask has been designed and ordered, it looks like Tyson Kidd might not be doing that gimmick after all. Some were pushing for him to receive a new character and push on the main roster because of his long tenure with WWE. However, others are against the idea and want him to remain in WWE NXT to work with the developmental wrestlers.
June 12, 2014
While there is some sadness to every release today, the departure of Yoshi Tatsu has to be bothering several people left in WWE. He was well liked backstage, as he never got involved in any of the political stuff in the locker room. Tatsu kept a positive attitude since being removed from the main roster. He put in a lot of time and effort into improving himself in developmental, so he could get another chance to work Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Unfortunately, though, it was not enough for WWE.
June 12, 2014
After being robbed of an opportunity work a match at Wrestlemania 29, Brodus Clay focused his energy on trying to ensure that he was not going to miss Wrestlemania 30. WWE was not pleased with him telling the fans about his angst about being removed from the card at the last minute, so he was demoted to the developmental program. Today, Clay received his release from the company.
June 12, 2014
During a recent interview, Gail Kim was asked about retirement. The TNA Knockout stated that she was not quite sure when that would be, but she did reveal that she wanted to be a trainer once that happens. Some might believe that she would return to WWE to work in their developmental territory, but with the way she left the company, there might still be some backstage heat towards her.
June 11, 2014
While a lot of independent wrestlers are hoping for just a chance to do a tryout with WWE, Cody Hall is on the other side of the fence. The son of Scott Hall has turned down the company several times, stating that he does not want to join their developmental program until he establishes himself on the indies and internationally. Hall wants to achieve things on his own merit.
June 5, 2014
Rumors have it that WWE has been signing some of the best international talent to their developmental program. Names like Kevin Steen, Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi have surfaced as potential candidates to join the company later on this year. Unfortunately, though, WWE will not be bringing in Sarita, long considered one of the best international female performers in the business. She received a tryout with the company back in March but no contract has been offered.
June 4, 2014
When WWE did a story line where Brad Maddox was fired from Monday Night Raw, many were under the impression that management had a plan in place to turn him into an in ring performer, something that he has been wanting to be for quite some time now. However, it appears that WWE does not have plans in place for Maddox to make his return any time soon.
June 11, 2014
Now that Brad Maddox has been fired as the general manager of Monday Night Raw, WWE decided to gauge the interest of their fans by setting up a poll to see who they wanted as the new GM of the show. As of right now, Hulk Hogan has a commanding lead. The former world heavyweight champion has nearly half of the votes thus far.
May 27, 2014
On Monday Night Raw this week, Brad Maddox was called out by Stephanie McMahon, Kane and Triple H. He was attacked and fired as the general manager of Monday Night Raw. That has led to plenty of rumors and speculations about his future with the company. As of right now, Maddox is still employed by WWE and this is simply just a story line.

A video from Smackdown of the Shield attacking Brad Maddox backstage. WWE has been pushing Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns even more so recently, in order to get them ready for their big match against Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista at Extreme Rules 2014.
April 27, 2014
As management is still trying to finalize the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal, there were rumors backstage that Ricardo Rodriguez was a candidate to work the match at Wrestlemania 30. However, it appears that WWE has moved away from that. Not only is Rodriguez being utilized as a commentator instead, the company also added Brad Maddox, an on screen character, to the match.
April 4, 2014
When the announcement was first made that Brad Maddox was going to be wrestling at Wrestlemania 30, it raised some eyebrows with fans, but those backstage in WWE are aware that management was simply looking to reward Maddox for being patient and doing whatever the company has asked of him. He has been yearning to wrestle for quite some time now.
April 4, 2014
In a move that was not expected whatsoever, Brad Maddox announced on the Monday Night Raw kickoff show that he will be wrestling at Wrestlemania 30. The on screen character, who was actually trained as an in ring performer, will be one of the contestants in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal on the pay per view.
March 31, 2014
There are speculations that Brad Maddox could be leaving WWE when his contract expires, as the company really does not have a strong interest in utilizing him in a big role. He occasionally plays a bit role on Monday Night Raw and is utilized as an extra during live events, but management has been downplaying his role tremendously as of late.
March 22, 2014
Jim Ross recently compared Brad Maddox to the late Eddie Gilbert, and that more than likely is the highest praise that Maddox has ever received from anyone in the business. Longtime fans know that Gilbert was one of the best talkers that the industry has ever seen despite not having the requisite size typical of a professional wrestler.
February 20, 2014
While he has gone out and done his job enthusiastically and professionally, it is being said backstage that Brad Maddox still has a strong yearning to be a wrestler. WWE currently only has sporadic plans for him as an on screen character, and there does not appear to be a rush in utilizing him as an in ring performer.
February 8, 2014
While working in OVW, Brad Maddox had a necrophiliac gimmick named Brent "Beef" Wellington.

New York Mets (15-14) at Colorado Rockies (19-13)
Pitching Probables - Dillon Gee (2-1) 2.88 ERA vs Jhoulys Chacin (0-0) 0.00 ERA
TV - SNY - Radio - WOR 710 AM - First Pitch - 4:10 PM
Preview:The New York Mets (15-14) look to avoid a four-game sweep while sending Dillon Gee to the Coors Field mound Sunday.
Colorado (19-13) fell behind by six runs early and was shut out through four innings Saturday, but an eight-run fifth -- highlighted by Nolan Arenado's grand slam -- helped set the stage for pinch-hitter Charlie Culberson's two-run, walk-off homer in the ninth for an 11-10 victory.
Troy Tulowitzki led off the final inning with a single and finished 3 for 4 with three runs. His seventh-inning single marked his 1,000th career hit, helping increase his average to a majors-best .400.
Arenado is hitting .355 during a 23-game hitting streak, which ties Dante Bichette for the second longest in franchise history. The Rockies have won six of seven and have scored 28 of their league-most 185 runs in the series. They also lead the majors with a .300 average.
Colorado has won six of the last seven home meetings with the Mets (15-14), who briefly regained the lead in the ninth when Juan Lagares' RBI single extended his hitting streak to 12. New York had won seven of nine entering this series.
Three straight Mets starters have failed to pitch five full innings, but Gee (2-1, 2.88 ERA) will look to help slow the Rockies' offense after giving up three hits and striking out six through eight innings of a 4-0 win over Miami last Sunday.
Gee has a 0.86 ERA over his last three starts after posting a 5.03 mark over his first three.
The right-hander is 2-1 with a 4.19 ERA in three starts against the Rockies, but he gave up one run in 7 2/3 innings of a 2-1 home victory the last time he faced them Aug. 8.
Carlos Gonzalez is 3 for 4 with a homer and a triple against Gee, and he returned to the lineup Saturday after missing one contest with an injury to his left index finger.
With Tyler Chatwood heading back to the disabled list with a right elbow strain, manager Walt Weiss said Jhoulys Chacin will come off the DL to make his season debut in this contest.
Chacin went 1-1 with a 2.53 ERA in 10 2/3 innings during his rehab stint in Triple-A and appears ready to go. The right-hander, who went 14-10 with a 3.47 ERA in 31 starts last season, is 1-1 with a 1.89 ERA in three starts against the Mets.

The family and friends of Antonio Gomez Sanchez are asking for the public's assistance to help find the vehicle that allegedly hit Sanchez late Friday night or early Saturday morning.
According to Gomez Sanchez, he was walking home from a friend's house toward downtown Mountain View along Moffett Boulevard. When he got to Central Avenue he waited for the light.
When he began to cross, "out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a car coming fast, speeding," he said. "Next thing I know it hits me and I flipped, turned around. I fell to the ground screaming in pain."
Gomez, 27, thinks he remembers a black sedan, "like a Camry... a pretty generic car."
He tells Patch that he didn't call the cops. "I couldn't even pick up my head. I was in pain."
However, minutes later he overhead people exclaim "Is he okay?" Moments later, the police and fire departments arrived. He was transported to .
Before being discharged on Monday, he had surgery for a broken right fibula and ankle. He now has a metal plate and 11 screws in his leg.
"I can't do anything for 10 to 12 weeks," he said.
According to Shannon Casey, a family friend who alerted Patch to this situation, Gomez Sanchez works at on Castro Street, and "is currently unable to work due to the injuries, placing financial hardship on him and his family.
Any witnesses should contact the at 866-570-8211.

Obamacare rollout: Doctors concerned about patients, care, fees
CBS News, November 12, 2013
People trying to sign up for health insurance aren't the only ones confused by Obamacare. Doctors say they don't know what to expect, due to the problems with the federal and state websites. Like many American physicians, Dr. Brigit Britton expects to see a rush of new patients when the Affordable Care Act begins in January. But because of the enrollment problems, she doesn't know who they are, or how many. Britton said she's not sure what challenges doctors will face after Jan. 1. She said, "We are prepped to anticipate large numbers of patients and sicker patients, but beyond that ... we aren't sure what's going to happen."

Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston must have been dreaming of a belated white Christmas. White sands, that is.
The former Friends co-stars are vacationing in Cabo and were photographed relaxing in their bikinis over the weekend. But they weren't vacationing alone.
Talk about a backhanded compliment. Adam Sander has been named the most overpaid actor of 2013 by Forbes.
Though Sandler still commands a fat paycheck, most of his recent films have been Razzie fodder and box office duds. The magazine estimates that for every dollar Sandler received on his last three films, which include Jack & Jill and That's My Boy, the movies returned an average of $3.40. However, there are exceptions when Sandler's price tag pays off, as is the case with Grown Ups 2, one of Sandler's best performing films, which was not counted toward this year's ranking because of its later release date.
"Five" is an anthology of five short films exploring the impact of breast cancer on people's lives. "Five" highlights the shared experience each short film's title character endures from the moment of diagnosis, through an interconnected story arc that uses humor and drama to focus on the effect breast cancer and its different stages of diagnosis have on relationships and the way women perceive themselves while searching for strength, comfort, medical breakthroughs and, ultimately, a cure.
Directed by Jennifer Aniston, Alicia Keys, Demi Moore, Independent Spirit Award winner Patty Jenkins ("Monster") and Penelope Spheeris ("Wayne's World"), "Five" premieres on Monday, October 10th at 9pm EST.

UPDATED: Body recovered from four-alarm blaze in Laconia
LACONIA — One man was killed in a four-alarm fire that destroyed a small apartment building at Davis Place on Tuesday night.
The fire remains under investigation by the state Fire Marshal's Office and Laconia fire and police departments.
State Fire Marshal J. William Degnan said Wednesday night that the fire victim's identity would not be released until the Chief Medical Examiner's Office completes an autopsy. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday, he said.
Laconia Fire Capt. Bob Landry said flames were showing from the rear porches of the two-story, six-unit building at 66 Davis Drive when firefighters arrived after being called at 10:45 p.m.
Landry said between 12 and 15 people were inside when the fire broke out. He said firefighters made an aggressive interior attack and helped people get out. They were told then, he said, that there were people still inside the burning building.
Fire crews battled the blaze inside the building for 40 minutes, but still flames reached the attic and traveled the length of the building. Portions of the roof and the second floor started collapsing under the weight of the water; firefighters were ordered out for their safety.
At the height of the fire, about 75 firefighters were on scene, some arriving from as far away as Concord, Holderness and New Hampton.
The fire proved to be tough to put out. Landry said after about two hours, firefighters began having problems with the equipment — hoses and nozzles froze in the 2-degree Fahrenheit temperatures. Firefighters, too, had to be rotated out frequently because of the frigid cold.
The Citizen Emergency Response Team, a group of volunteers, arrived to provide food and coffee to the fire crews. They also convinced the owner of a building next door to open it and allow the firefighters to use it as a warming station, Landry said.
The fire was finally brought under control about 2 a.m., more than three hours after it was reported. One firefighter suffered second-degree burns to his neck and ears, but Landry said he stayed at the scene and kept fighting the blaze.
Landry said the building is destroyed; he estimated damage at $750,000. He said the building was fairly old, but the interior was nice, with oak stairways and bannisters.
The fire, he said, started in the middle of the building. Flames destroyed one second-floor apartment and heavily damaged the entire second floor. Smoke and water damaged the rest of the apartment building.
The state has seen three other fire fatalities this February. On Feb. 10, Paul Morrill, 72, and Jane Morrill, 68, died of smoke inhalation in their Bridgewater home.
On Feb. 11, Sarah Robinson, 72, of 83 Bowman St. in Manchester, died in a fire.

The district is preparing to welcome back 5,638 students — at the latest count — next Thursday, the first day of school for students.
Althoughs projected enrollment for the start of this school year is 1,807 students — an uptick from last year's 1,788 Ridge students on the first day of the 2011-12 school year, enrollment is down very slightly overall. Last September's school year started with 5,661 students; this year, other than at the enrollment is a little down at the district's other three elementary schools.
The as of today had 1,398 students, compared with 1,402 last year. Enrollment changes at the elementary schools were minimal, with the biggest drop at from 633 down to 601, and the only increase at Liberty Corner, up to 579 students, from last year's 563.
The positions have changed but the names will remain the same
By far, the biggest change in Bernards Township schools this year will be the change in those heading the positions of top administrators — and even the president of the Board of Education.
Nick is now schools superintendent. Markarian has been groomed to move to the top administrator's spot since he was named last year, following last fall that she would retired at the end of June 2012.
although he will maintain some of his previous administrative curriculum responsibilities.
One new face at the Board of Education office will be Rod McLaughlin, hired last spring as the new board administrator and secretary.
Meanwhile, schools maintenance and improvements projects undertaken in the summer at nearly all of the district's school buildings should be "95 percent or so" complete by the time school opens for students, Markarian said on Friday.
Cedar Hill dropoff due to continue for Ridge buses
One thing that will remain the same — despite attempts to come up with an alternative solution — is that school will begin again withwhich has a walkway to the rear of the high school.
Markarian said earlier this week that school officials continue to search for a long-term solution to returning the buses to the front of the high school, which experiences traffic jams on a daily basis. Ridge buses have been dropped students behind Cedar Hill since last February, and local residents have protested
Also, the township's construction project on Collyer Lane will continue into the beginning of the school year. In an online notice, School officials asked that students, who will not be able to park along Collyer Lane as in past years, arrive as early as possible to avoid anticipated traffic issues.
The school website, as well as school officials, are directing parents and private vehicles to drop high school students at the front of the high school, rather than crowding streets and turnarounds in the Homestead Village neighborhood.
New statewide teacher implementation to go into effect
Looking at the larger picture, Markarian said he sees the state's required implementation this year of a new system for evaluating teachers as "a big change and challenge but also an improvement."

Survey: CHCOs feel effect of budget crunch on recruiting, training
Budget constraints are top of mind for agency chief human capital officers. And with good reason. CHCOs say they are feeling the effects of the budget crunch, particularly in recruiting, retaining and training employees, according to a Federal News Radio survey. Eugene Hubbard, head of the National Science Foundation's Office of Information and Resource Management, told Federal News Radio the budget squeeze and shrinking workforces mean agency employees are doing more with less to keep pace with the mission.

The Antunes family has been running this Crystal Palace charmer since 2004. Out front, mother & father are joined by their son & daughter, while uncle Fernando is behind the stoves. Fresh fish dominates a menu that changes rarely, for fear of inciting rebellion among the many regulars. Grilled sardines, tuna & sea bass feature alongside cataplana (traditional seafood stew). Specials might include grilled octopus or crispy fried whitebait. Meat-eaters could choose steaks, spicy chicken, the classic pork & clams, or a monkfish cataplana beefed up with chorizo & cured ham. Furnishings are simple & tables tightly packed, but conviviality is enhanced by the inexpensive Portuguese wine list. Oldest son Hugo is due to take over in 2012 when his parents retire to Portugal, but don't expect any drastic changes.

Cubs have $8,352,200 in draft pool money (and if they don't mind paying a a 75% tax on $417,600, they can go up to $8,769,810).
Players in bold have allegedly signed. Anyone after the 10th round signed for over $100K counts against their draft money as well.
If the player has yet to sign or there's no media report on the bonus, the third column is the recommened slot money.
Currently the Cubs have paid $8,754,000 out and have $15,810 of their draft pool money left before having to worry about losing draft picks.

A funny thing happened on the way to the NHL Winter Classic:
The Blackhawks got good. Very good.
As a result, the spectacle that John McDonough begged his league to bring to Wrigley to help him reanimate a recently dead franchise has turned into something else:
A signficant matchup between the Detroit Red Wings, the defending Stanley Cup champions, and the Blackhawks, the Wings' closest divisional pursuers, one of the league's youngest, highest scoring, and most dynamic clubs.
In case you have been too busy following the Cubs' off-season exploits to pay attention to the Blackhawks--or, more likely, if you have never paid attention to the Hawks--here is a Cubs baseball/Blackhawks hockey translator just for you.
Jim Hendry was on XM radio with Rob Dibble and his co-host...Stern something or other. The completely uninteresting highlights:
No mention of the Jason Marquis trade, but you have to assume it's one of those deals expected over the next few weeks.
On another note, this Stern fella sounds like a bigger idiot than Rob Dibble, which I didn't think was possible. He keeps harping about Brian Roberts and just called Mike Fontenot a "punch and judy" hitter.
Dr. Hecht's simulcast after the jump...
Bruce Levine of ESPN1000 is reporting that the Cubs have traded Mark DeRosa and the $5.5M on his contract for 2009 to the Cleveland Indians for three minor-leaguers, RHP Jeff Stevens, LHP John Gaub and RHP Chris Archer.
You have to think a trade, let's say for a certain pitcher from San Diego whom I dare not speak his name, is possibly forthcoming.
I'll try and get some info on the prospects in a bit.
Scouting reports and biographies that I could piece together on the prospects after the jump....
Rob G: Sorry guys, the article Joe put up was just a cut and paste from the press release, apparently he didn't read the TCR Manual. :)
I kid because I care.
But as mentioned, the Cubs do sign switch-hitting infielder Aaron Miles for two years, the Trib says the deal is for $4.9M total and if it's an even split, that's $2.45M for this year. Miles hit 317/355/398 last season for the Cardinals after hitting 290/328/348 in 2007. He primarily plays second base with a 100+ games at short in his career. He's even dabbled in the outfield, but less than 10 games for his career including four in left field last season.
I think it's safe to assume an infielder is on his way out the door soon, most likely Mark DeRosa if yesterday's rumors are true, but possible that it's Ronny Cedeno or Mike Fontentot.
One of our readers ("DB") caught Steve Phillips saying a deal of Jason Marquis to the Colorado Rockies for relief pitcher Luis Vizcaino was "close". Famous last words of any rumor...
MLB Trade Rumors has it as well (apparently part of the update ticker on ESPN2).
Marquis is owed $9.875M and the story out of Colorado yesterday was that they couldn't "absorb hardly any of his $9.8 million salary this season." Cot's Baseball Contracts has Vizcaino as making $3.5M in 2009 and a $4M option in 2010 with a $500K buyout. That would still leave the Rockies on the hook for $6.375M and I'm going to guess that the Cubs are still throwing $1-2M more the Rockies way if this does indeed go down.
Update: Loyal TCR reader Jacos points out my glaring omission of Bobby Murcer from the obit list. I think I scooted right past his name on the list of 2008 baseball deaths because I will always think of him as a New York Yankee despite his time with the Cubs and Giants, just like I will always think of Billy Williams as a Cub, despite his time with the Athletics. For the record, Murcer was acquired in trade from San Francisco for Bill Madlock in 1977 then traded back to the Yankees in June of 1979. In his two and a half years with the Cubs, Murcer had a couple of okay seasons--including 27 HR and 89 RBI in '77.
In the year just past, eight more men with various ties to our beloved Cubs left this world without seeing a World Series championship find its way to the North Side.
R.I.P. to you all, gentlemen...
John Buzhardt
(Died 6/15/08 at age 71 in Prosperity, South Carolina)
A right-hander signed by the Cubs as an amateur in 1954, Buzhardt pitched for the team in September of 1958 and all of 1959. In his two seasons in Cubbie blue, Buzhardt went 7-5, bouncing between starting and relief roles. The highlight of his Cub career was in June of '59, when Buzhardt threw a complete game, one-hit shutout at the Phillies. In addition to pitching for the Cubs, Buzhardt played for the Phillies, White Sox, Orioles, and Astros, ending his career in 1968 with a record of 71-96.
Don Cardwell (Died 1/14/08 at age 72 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina)
Two days after being traded to the Cubs by the Phillies in 1960, Cardwell no-hit the Cardinals at Wrigley Field. If you haven't seen the grainy black & white footage from the WGN broadcast that day, you should.
Here's an update on the Free Agent Frenzy contest.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah and so forth. The Angel Fan Wife was kind enough to get me a Ryne Sandberg jersey, plus some wonderful Marquette gear, so I guess I ended up on the nice list. I would love to hear what Cubs goodies some of you received.
As for the current Cubbies, here's what a few of them unwrapped.
Alfonso Soriano - Jugs Curveball Pitching Machine
Aramis Ramirez - "The Art of Cockfighting" (always good to brush up on the basics)
Jason Marquis - $100 Crate and Barrel gift card
Ryan Dempster - A.J. Burnett baseball card
Rich Harden - stack of hand towels (give it a sec)
Ted Lilly - Star Trek Holodeck to let him pitch in 2008 playoffs
Carlos Marmol - copy of K-rod's contract
Jeff Samardzija - a slider
Carlos Zambrano -a Livan Hernandez baseball card
Geovany Soto - Rick Wilkins' locker
Ryan Theriot - The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Baseball & Softball
Derrek Lee - 2005
Cubs Fans - a World Series Title (comes in gift card form and can only be redeemed in October, never expires but not accepted every season)
As always, feel free to fill the gaps for others associated with the Cubs.
Despite a past association with current Cubs manager Lou Piniella and rumors that the Cubs had him in their sights, Walnut Creek, California native Randy Johnson has signed a one-year deal with the Giants for a reported $8 million plus bonuses,.
Particularly before Ryan Dempster was re-signed and then when the Jake Peavy deal fell through, Johnson was identified by fans and press alike as an affordable free agent option to bolster the Cubs staff.
Once Dempster was back in the fold, it was easy to get excited about the thought of Johnson replacing Jason Marquis as the Cubs' fifth starter. Also attractive was the thought that if Johnson came to the North Side, the Cubs would never have to face him: Johnson's career mark against the Cubs, spanning 14 starts, is 13-0, 1.84, with 142 K's in just 102 2/3 IP.
The Chicago Tribune had a story on Melissa Isaacson's blog where readers got the chance to play GM for a day. I wanted to take a few seconds to point out some of the choice cuts.
If I could be a GM for a day, I would choose to be the GM of the Cubs. The only real order of business on my plate for that day would be finding some way to get rid of Soriano, who is the biggest face of the failure of the last two years in the playoffs? Soriano. Hopefully I could find a way to get rid of Soriano and then Hendry could take back over and do whatever it took to sign Manny Ramirez to replace Soriano. - Jim Fannin, Morris, Il.
What I can't understand is why everyone is so quick to get rid of Soriano. To me, moving him to get Manny Ramirez doesn't make sense. Do you really think Manny is done being Manny? Do you think he'll just come here and be a model player? I understand that people dont like Sori's contract, but to throw him and his production to the curb is just silly. I'm also sick and tired of the playoff production excuse for why people justify moving a player. I'm fine with Sori on this team. If moved to the middle of the order, he can be a very good run producer for this team. Am I wrong?
I'd be the Cubs GM for a day: 1) I'd make the deal for Jake Peavy (in the proposed three-team deal). 2) I'd trade for Brian Roberts (take whats left of the value of our minor leagues and a position player or two like Cedeno or DeRosa and trade them for a World Series win). 3) I'd sign free agent Milton Bradley and play him in right and platoon Reed and Fukudome in center. 4) I'd sign free agent Randy Johnson (figuring that Marshall is gone via trade for Peavy). I'd like the Big Unit on our side for once. - Keith Davi, Lansing, Ill.
Come on Keith, trading for Peavy and then signing Randy Johnson? So that gives us six pitchers for five spots. Brilliant GM'ing. Also, Ronny Cedeno doesn't have any value as a trade piece right now. Teams know he's out of options and doesn't have a role on this team. There is a really good possibility he'll be designated for assignment this spring and be available for nothing.
Dunn can play first and Gathright can play RF and be a pesky leadoff hitter -- assuming he can learn to take a pitch or two. - Brad, Twin Cities, Minn.
Pesky? What makes a hitter Pesky? Why do all the speedy guys or small guys get labeled that?
If I were GM for a day: I would try to get Manny Ramirez and Jeremy Bonderman. I would keep Soriano, move Ryan Theriot to center, AKA Mickey Stanley in 1968, and insert Rodney Cedeno at short and DeRosa at 2nd, and move Hoffpauir to first. Ramirez would play right, Soriano left. Bring up Sam Fuld, I think that is his name and use him as a spark plug. Bring Ryan Sandberg up to be tutored by Piniella so that there is continuity when Piniella retires. Finally stop trading and build the farm system with pitchers who can pitch. The Cubs do not need flame throwers, they need pitchers. - Mark Nielson
Good God, this guy is just retarded. I cant take this anymore. I open it up to you. Play GM for a day.
Since season's bitterly abrupt end I have been busy putting finishing touches on my first book, Far From the Trees: The Troubled Sons of an American Neighborhood. If nothing else the gang hereabouts should like the cover design. You can check that out without even buying the book, though it goes without saying that I hope you do both.
Copies can be ordered through either Amazon or Barnes & Noble online; hopefully a wider distribution is forthcoming - the book has gotten off to a tremendous start here in Des Moines. The local independent bookstore where we held a launch party immediately sold out of its hundred copies and has a waiting list of more than 200 and counting in anticipation of their next shipment. Amazon quickly sold out of its first batch.
Far From the Trees is a composite memoir from the neighborhood where I grew up; sort of a before/after the wild '60's seasoned with Cub angles throughout - forgive this shameless self-promotion offered for your consideration.
Happy holidays everybody - here's to a healthy 2009!
In keeping with the ongoing story of the Chicago political scene, the Peoria Chiefs (A) have decided to auction off "Senate Seats" this season.
The other day, one of the guys sent out an e-mail to all the other writers at TCR. He mentioned that he had setup something called Twitter. I have heard of it and seen people around me using it, but I've decided that I'm sticking to Facebook. There is something magical about being able to endulge in something that would probably be considered a high school website and get so addicted to it that you find your grandma wants to be your "friend". That being said, I put the twitter out of my mind until I saw this:
WITH a cry of "holy f**king s**t", a US man is believed to have made
history by "Tweeting" the aftermath of a plane crash just moments after
the accident.
Twitter (http://www.twitter.com) user Mike Wilson was on board the Continental Airline's 737 in Denver, in the US mid-west, when it slid off the runway during take-off yesterday.
least 58 people were injured after the Texas-bound plane slid off the
runway – sheering its landing gear – and dropped into a 12m ravine.
A fire then broke out, damaging the entire right side.
Just moments after the plane came to a rest, Mr Wilson used his
mobile phone to send a message to all of his Twitter followers: "Holy
f**king s**t - I was just in a plane crash!"~ (View Full Story)

Since there is no news, I thought maybe I'd tie this into the Cubs is some sort of way. It's obvious that this Mike Wilson cat is addicted to twitter. I liken it to the addiction that we have with the Cubs. The other day I see AZ Phil's post about a new minor league coach with the name Pevey and I got excited. We're so thirsty for news that, in a sense, we're just waiting to swallow the first bit of news that comes over the wire. Things like twitter make that happen. It's there you get nuggets that say someone just saw Ryan Dempster running or Lou Piniella in Nordstoms with his shirt off and rumors begin to fly. "Is Ryan Dempster training for a marathon?" "Is Lou Piniella secretly a gay pole dancer?" Is that a good thing? I'm not sure. It certainly makes for an interesting transition to the new way news and media is reported.
I'm not sure when, or if, I'll rock the twitter. What I do know is that I won't be doing it as a plane is crashing, unless of course that plane is carrying me back home from a Cubs World Series.

You don't have to check out the two new levels of Cubs Club membership; Ed Sherman, posting on his blog for Crain's Chicago Business, has checked them out for you:
Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, but I am finally feeling somewhere close to normal finally. I know you were all worried.
A whole lot of nothing going on, but Ken Rosenthal is reporting that Mark DeRosa will play in the WBC. I know we were alll waiting for that shoe to drop. Kosukue Fukudome had already been named to play for Team Japan.
In two-day rumors news, Dave Kaplan on WGN radio reported that Adam Dunn's first choice is to play with the Chicago Cubs at a "fair offer". The Cubs first choice is to have Adam Dunn play somewhere else and sign Milton Bradley. The other rumor is that somehow Tim Redding is possibly holding up Jason Marquis getting traded. It seems whomever "loses out" on signing Tim Redding between the Rockies and Mets may pursue our dear fifth starter.
I'll slowly get back in the flow as the week goes on...otherwise enjoy the holidays.

2014 7th round draft pick RHP James Norwood (Saint Louis U.) worked a dominating 9th for AZL Cubs, pitching with swagger (unlike pro debut last week, when he looked uncomfortable on the mound) and pumping one 94-95 MPH fastball with heavy sink & run after another. Unhittable tonight.
Kyuji Fujikawa with another rehab outing for AZL Cubs (second in four days after being shut-down for a month following conclusion of EXST), a 1-2-3 inning (9 pitches - 7 strikes). Fastball velocity was consistent (90-91 MPH on all six fastballs thrown), plus three outstanding hard-splitters (one used to chase the strikeout on first hitter faced). After the first batter struck out (swinging) on a 1-2 pitch, second man popped out on a bunt, and the third hitter flied out to short-center. Very fast inning.
jason hammel delay of game because of a thumb cramp. trainer is out...
we're about 4 minutes in so far. crazy.
Hahaha! Well played ...
Since it's early, I'll go way out on a limb.
Best college bat. Or shortstop.
another failed Cubs prospect
Alcantara underwhelming debut, 0-4 with 3 ugly ABs, with his third and fourth trips of the night being much worse than the first two.
Just watched it, looked foul. But the ump in slow motion was awesome, he was like screaming "Bye Bye" as he gave him the boot.
Well you don't mess with his main man Valbuena! You just don't do it ...
When Cubs don't come back it will be 6 losses in a row
currently with 5th worst record, 1.5 games back of Astros for worst overall (Houston, DBacks, Texas, Rockies ahead of them and Boston a half game behind),)
Astros losing in 3rd against Texas, Rockies and DBacks already won and Red Sox losing.
I'll just leave these here
We can do this!!!! I want #1 for the last big sell year ... C'mon boys!!!
valbuena fielded a bouncer foul...he was claiming to the ump at 3rd it was fielder fair...renteria came out and starting bitching about it and got tossed.
Haha. I actually turned it off. What happened?
i dont blame renteria for getting tossed...im a bit sick of watching this game, too.
20 strikeouts for Iowa pitchers in 14-inning win. Jokisch started them off with 11 in 7.
Well I can tell you that based on some of Alcantara's swings that he could use a large helping of Captain Happy's patented big league rest. Let's bring him up and get his ass on the pine for a few months - he'll be fine in no time at all.

- About us
- KCC Blog
KARI acknowledges that climate variability and change is a threat to sustainable development. The projected impact of climate change is expected to impact on many sectors such as environment, human health, food security, economic activities, natural resources and the physical infrastructure. This calls for planned adaptation. Meanwhile adaptive capacity is influenced by various factors which include wealth, technology, education, information, skills, infrastructure, access to resources and management capabilities. Currently, there is high variability amongst populations and communities in their endowments with these attributes making Kenya very vulnerable to climate change. The increasing vulnerability of pastoralists' livelihoods to these climatic events (increases in frequency and length of drought periods) is a pressing problem in Kenya's arid and semi-arid areas and which has further been enhanced by socio-economic and political factors. Therefore, climate change adaptation and mitigation research is one of KARI's thematic focal areas as stipulated in its Strategic Plan 2009-2014. Prior to 2010, KARI did not have a programme or a unit dealing with issues of climate variability/change. Thus, some aspects that could constitute adaptation and mitigation to climate change were being addressed in projects falling under various KARI programmes such as irrigation and drainage, soil and water management, soil fertility, crop breeding, livestock health and production.
KARI launched its Climate Change Unit (CCU) on the 27th May 2010, to serve as a focal point for climate change related research within KARI. The unit aims to develop the capacity of KARI scientists to understand and develop adaptation technologies and techniques to help smallholder farmers and pastoralists to respond to the effects of climate change. In particular, KARI CCU objectives are:
Operation of the KARI Climate Change Unit (KCCU). The KCCU is operating under the Environment Research sub-program of the Natural Resource Management Program in liaison with the Deputy Director of Research and Technology. The unit receives backstopping from Climate Change Representatives based at various KARI research centres. Coordination of the unit is done by the Coordinator, Environmental Research and other KARI scientists. The KCCU role is to mainstream and oversee implementation of climate change adaptation research in KARI. Specifically, it guides and supports KARI scientists in matters pertaining to
i) Vulnerability Assessment.
ii) Climate variability/change adaptation planning, strategies, policies and measures
iii) Climate Change Mitigation.
