Getting Pregnant
Labor and Delivery
Baby and Beyond
I have a proper bump, but it's all my fibroids, so I'm shy about it until my size evens out a bit more and others look bumpy too. A friend of my aunt asked the other day when I was due because she noticed the bump, and I'm sure I saw her eyebrows raise and a bit of mental calculation going on when I told her it was February!
The fibroids should stop growing around about now, as this is when the hormone surge drops off. If I'm lucky they'll shrink back slightly. Come on all you bumps, catch up!
DS - June 2010
OK I might take a pic tomorrow first thing, but no way am I doing an evening view of it!
DS - June 2010
I just look like a round lumpy blob right now. I did notice that when I lay on my tummy it feels like a hard lump, so it's not comfy now. But that doesn't mean i look pregnant yet or anything. And nobody wants my round lumpy pictures i think lol
Jenn you are in such good shape! I wish I looked like you.
Well, thanks to my stupid fibroids, here's my big bump. It's only going to get bigger but by 20 weeks I won't look too much bigger I hope!

Congrats to Dr. Mark (and all the Boston finishers!)
Posted by Sir Isaac on Monday, April 19, 2010 @ 2:15 pm | 2 Replies
This weekend Dr. Mark Cucuzzella (1110) led a panel on running form in front of a packed house at the Boston Marathon Expo. This morning Mark ran a 2:34:21 at the Marathon placing him among the top Masters finishers, and making it the fourth decade in which he has run a sub-2:35 race. That's what I call walking (running) the talk.
Congrats to all the Boston finishers! It was a great race with a new record time for the men and a thrilling finish for the women!
Running Boston? Read This How-To Guide
Posted by Sir Isaac on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 @ 8:45 am | 1 Reply
First of all, for those of you running in the 114th Boston Marathon next Monday, congratulations on qualifying! There are enough pre-race guides and preparation materials out there that I get butterflies in my stomach just skimming them, but we've got one more terrific resource you should really check out before Monday. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've heard us talk about Dr. Mark Cucuzzella before. He's an Associate Professor of Family Medicine at West Virginia University and an expert in exercise physiology and running biomechanics (to be clear, he is not on the Newton Running payroll). He has run over 50 marathons and competed at Boston 16 times, finishing 5 times under 2:30.
The good doctor just sent us a detailed and thoughtful document entitled "How to Run the Boston Marathon." Whether you're running Boston on Monday, a marathon later this year, or even just a local 5K sometime soon, Dr. Mark's guide is a very insightful tool you shouldn't miss. Click the following link to download the pdf guide and by all means, pass this along to anyone you know racing on Monday: How to Run the Boston Marathon.
The team from Newton is on it's way to Boston right now. If you're in the area, please come by and say hello at the race expo. It's free and open to the public. Also, don't miss Dr. Mark, Dr. Dan Lieberman, Warren Green and Amby Burfoot from Runner's World leading a seminar called "Shoes, Barefoot, Pose, Chi: How Should You Run?" on Saturday at 3pm presented by Runner's World. Details here.
Otherwise, good luck to everyone at Boston. We'll be cheering you on!
Find Newton Running at Expos on Both Coasts this Weekend
Posted by Sir Isaac on Thursday, March 18, 2010 @ 9:24 pm | 1 Reply
It's a busy weekend for the crew at Newton Running with events and expos on both the left and right coasts. First up, is the expo at the LA Marathon on Friday and Saturday at Dodger Stadium – please come say hello to our team (Steve, Yo, Erin and Erica) at the brand new Newton booth. On the other side of the country, we're teaming up with All3Sports.com to host a booth at the ING Georgia Marathon expo at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Timmy and Tory will be in Atlanta to answer all your Newton needs.
The expos in LA and Atlanta will be the first opportunity see (and/or purchase) our new Performance Trainers. In fact, if you come by our booth and try on a pair of new shoes, and say the code words "level platform," we'll give you a free gift (while they last).
Finally Danny, Ian and Dr. Mark are hosting our second Natural Running Symposium on Friday and Saturday in Boston, where we'll also have our new shoes to try on.
We hope to see you out this weekend!
Weekend Race Recap – IM China and Catalina Marathon
Posted by Sir Isaac on Monday, March 15, 2010 @ 9:49 am | 2 Replies
Last year at Ironman China, Hungarian triathlete and Newton pro team member, Jozsef Major, struggled through the race on a borrowed bike after his was lost in transit. This past weekend at the race in Haikou, China, Major was bent on redemption. Australian Luke McKenzie won the race and set a new course record, but Major combined the fastest bike split of the day with the second fastest run, to finish second overall. Congrats Jozsef! What a great start to the season! Read a full recap here.
Also this weekend, Newton's very own Heather Fuhr (Ironman World Champion and a five-time Ironman USA winner), demonstrated her running prowess at the 33rd annual Catalina Marathon. Heather completed the 26-miles trail race in three hours and seven minutes, breaking the previous record of 3:15:20 set by Danelle Ballangee in 1997. Impressively, Fuhr placed third overall in this beautiful but tough trail marathon. Nice job Heather! More here.
Tell us about your weekend of racing in the comments section below and we'll send our favorite entry a free Newton hat and socks!
ING NYC Marathon Expo & Natural Running Clinic
Posted by Sir Isaac on Tuesday, October 27, 2009 @ 8:11 am | 1 Reply
The New York City Marathon is less than five days away and Newton Running's venerable expo team is 'wheels up' on their way to the Big Apple. If you're racing in New York, or live near the city, we'd love to see you. Here are a few places to catch up with the Newton crew.
Marathon Expo – Jacob Javits Convention Center, 11th Avenue at 35th Street, Manhattan.
Thurs. & Fri. 10 am.-8 p.m.
Sat. 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
All entrants in the marathon have to pick up their race packets here, but the expo is open to the public! Come by the Newton booth to meet Newton's founders Jerry Lee and Danny Abshire, Newton pro Josh Cox, demo a pair of new shoes or buy some Newton merchandise. We're selling all our shoes at the booth and to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month, when you buy a pair of Pink Distance Racers for $155, you'll get a free pink hat and tech t-shirt and we'll donate $50 from the purchase to support breast cancer research.
There's a whole list of cool stuff going on at the expo, everything from an appearance by actor Anthony Edwards, to a contest to win $10K in gasoline (ed note: that's a weird prize to offer a bunch of runners). See the full list of expo activities here.
Friday morning Natural Running Form Clinic/Fun Run with Danny Abshire and IronBrandon
On Friday morning, the Newton crew is getting up bright and early for a run in the park. With the help of IronBrandon (a.k.a. Brandon Wood) we're organizing a FREE Natural Running clinic and fun run lead by running form guru Danny Abshire. Danny will present the basics of natural running, lead the group through a few drills and then Brandon is going to lead us on a run through the park. It should be a lot of fun and we're hoping to make a big statement with a large turnout. As an added incentive, we'll give everyone who shows up a free Newton race hat or visor. Please come out and join us. We're meeting at the Boathouse in Central Park on Friday, Oct. 30 at 7 a.m.
Saturday International Fun Run
If you're looking for a final tune-up for Sunday, or you want to join a bunch of international runners for a spin through the Park, then consider this Saturday morning 4k run. Some of the Newton crew will be out representing.
Sunday – Race Day!
Race Day. The Newton team will be out cheering! The pro women start at 9:10 a.m.. If you're not in the city, you can watch from home on TV or the web. Listings here.
Hope to see you in the Big Apple and good luck to everyone racing!
Newton at the Philadelphia ING Distance Race Expo

Here's the latest from the Philadelphia ING Distance Race Expo….
Pictured is Yo Schmidt, Newton's expo director, along with a Newton customer (sorry didn't get his name) and Josh Cox. Josh is in town to run the race as a workout in the middle of a 140-mile week. Of course, he may still bang out a 1:05 in the half marathon! Josh is working toward his peak for the season later in the year. Josh's training partner Ryan Hall, who is getting ready for the NYC Marathon on November 1, is also racing here in Philadelphia. Will we see a Half Marathon American Record on Sunday, Ryan? Sure hope so…
A small group of Newton Running employees will be lining up Sunday to race as well.
UPDATE : As predicted, Ryan Hall won the race. Josh Cox ran a 1:05 for 6th place (not bad for a workout run). Newton pres Stephen Gartside ran an impressive 1:22:05 and our intern Anna Mosely finished in 1:31. Race report here.

So, not only did Josh Cox pull off a major feat at the P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Sunday in Tempe AZ, but several of Newton's own kicked some butt too. Newton co-founder Danny Abshire and his partner in product development, Ian Adamson, both qualified for the Boston Marathon with their strong finish times in Tempe. Newton's sales manager extraordinaire Robert Dennis and our indispensable vice president Anne Klein both ran the half marathon distance. They all reported seeing LOTS of Newtons in the race field, especially at the front of the pack
Congrats to all!

I am definitely a cookie monster! Always have been. Must have something to do with the fact that my mama always made lots of cookies, and they're just comfort food for me.
Besides, you can pick them up and eat them on the run. Rarely do I ever sit down to enjoy cookies.
I become a cookie baking fanatic during the month of December. Two cookie baking nights with my (local) granddaughters and we love giving them for gifts.
And lots of cookie recipes in between.
Here's the link for Food Network's 12 Days of Cookie Recipes. The first day was Paula Deen's
Ooey Gooey Butter Cookie recipe - so easy and delicious. I'll share that awesome recipe here, but you'll have to sign up for the newsletter if you want to receive more.
Even if you don't care to receive the newsletter, there are many easy recipes at this page. Enjoy!
photo credit: Paula Deen
1 (8-ounce) brick cream cheese, room temperature
1 stick butter, at room temperature
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (18-ounce) box moist chocolate cake mix
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in the egg. Then beat in the vanilla extract. Beat in the cake mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to firm up so that you can roll the batter into balls. Roll the chilled batter into tablespoon sized balls and then roll them in confectioner's sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake 12 minutes. The cookies will remain soft and "gooey." Cool completely and sprinkle with more confectioners' sugar, if desired.

text: On Cusp of Another WikiLeaks Document Dump, Questions About the Role Played by the Administration and the New York Times by Susan Swift 13 Sep 2010 post a comment Share This: WikiLeaks is poised to release another 15,000 secret military reports, this time about the war in Iraq. A rarely spoken context for the WikiLeaks controversy is the shared hostility of WikiLeaks and leftist Democrats toward U.S. military involvement in the world. The Make-Believe Media, most notably the New York Times and Associated Press, intentionally or inadvertently, run a smokescreen for this shared interest. After I wrote an article illustrating the White House's conflicting responses to WikiLeaks' release of 76,000+ secret military Afghanistan war reports, I received an unsolicited email from someone who called herself "Sarah," and who claimed to work for The Sunshine Press, publisher for WikiLeaks. Her return email address checked out, but I have since received no response from her to my further emails. (There is a Sarah Tisdall listed on the WikiLeaks web page.) "Sarah" sent me a statement, with corroborating media sources, that belies the White House line that it had no realistic opportunity to vet the documents, and brands New York Times' reporter and White House WikiLeaks liaison Eric Schmitt as a sneaky double dealing rat fink. WikiLeaks have consistently asserted that they offered White House officials the opportunity to review the Afghan War Diary documents to help ensure that no innocent informers were named, despite White House claims that they had no contact from the publishers.... WikiLeaks received no response. Eric Schmitt of The New York Times spoke to the Associated Press and confirmed WikiLeaks had made this request. Schmitt stated that Julian Assange emailed him asking him to forward an offer that WikiLeaks would look at all suggestions from the International Security Assistance Force "on the identification of innocents for this material if it is willing to provide reviewers." Despite claiming that he did forward the email to White House officials and Times editors Schmitt goes on to declare that he "certainly didn't consider this a serious and realistic offer to the White House to vet any of the documents before they were to be posted", though why this is he does not say. In fact, at first Schmitt "dismissed Assange's claim that WikiLeaks had offered to let U.S. government officials go through leaked documents to ensure that no innocent people were identified", before later admitting the email exchange had taken place. Schmitt's remarks to the AP have been picked up and printed in many other American news outlets, including CBS News, though not one has commented on his conflicting statements, or questioned why there was no reply from the White House. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_AFGHANISTAN_WIKILEAKS?SITE=CTNHR&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/07/31/ap/politics/main6731865.shtml?tag=mncol;lst;1 http://www.northjersey.com/news/080110_Informant_says_WikiLeaks_suspect_had_civilian_help.html http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_afghanistan_wikileaks http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/07/30/1754337/white-house-urges-halt-to-spilling.html http://m.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/world/19-informant-says-wikileaks-suspect-had-civilian-help-hh-03?pageDesign=mobile_detail http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/07/31/wikileaks-suspect-civilian.html http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/2010/07/31/20100731-Afghanistan-WikiLeaks-suspect-had-help-ON.html http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/07/31/wikileaks-suspect-civilian.html?ref=rss http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/wikileaks-suspect-had-civilian-help-20100801-110xn.html http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-07-31-army-informant-helped_N.htm?csp=34news&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:%20UsatodaycomNation-TopStories%20(News%20-%20Nation%20-%20Top%20Stories) The AP's reporting of Saturday, July 31, carried throughout the MBM, is confusing at best and deceptive at worst because it ineptly, or intentionally, interchanges the timing sequence of significant events. Using a calendar and critical reading skills to untangle the AP's twisted reporting reveals the following timeline, a timeline that also supports WikiLeaks' claim: Friday afternoon, July 23: White House spokesman Tommy Vietor says it was "absolutely unequivocally not true" that WikiLeaks had invited White House help in editing the secret war records. Vietor's emphatic denial seems nonsensical because at this point in time (Friday afternoon, July 23rd) WikiLeaks hadn't yet proffered its invite-to-edit. Friday night, July 23: White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs privately asks Eric Schmitt to relay a request that WikiLeaks not publish information that could endanger people in the region. Schmitt relayed that request via email some time later that same night. Saturday, July 24: Responding to Schmitt's email, WikiLeaks tenders its invitation to the White House to redact identifying information. WikiLeaks also reveals it was withholding an additional 15,000 documents for review and would consider recommendations "on the identification on innocents." We don't know when Schmitt got WikiLeaks' email, but he sent it over to the White House and the NYT. The White House ignores the new WikiLeaks' invitation to redact information. Sunday, July 25: WikiLeaks posts 75,000+ secret Afghanistan military reports and fallout ensues. Saturday, July 31: The AP presents a jumbled sequence of these events, which goes viral throughout the MBM. In this week-after-the-fact story, Schmitt suddenly claims he regarded WikiLeaks' invite-to-edit as a joke. Here's how the AP story presents the timeline of events: On an undated Saturday (July 24 or 31?), Schmitt dismisses the notion that WikiLeaks had ever invited White House editing of the unredacted documents before release. On the night of July 23, Gibbs asks Schmitt to relay to WikiLeaks a humanitarian plea not to publish harmful information. Schmitt did so. The "next evening" (presumably July 24 but again, AP does not specify the date) Schmitt receives an email reply from WikiLeaks that it was holding 15,000 more documents and would listen to recommendations on identification of innocents. Schmitt forwarded WikiLeaks' email to the White House, but later states he did not consider it a serious offer. On Friday (again undated by AP, but only July 23 would make sense), the White House emphatically denies that WikiLeaks made any invitation to redact information identifying innocent people. The AP's mangled chronology provides apparent cover for the White House. Note how the AP story preemptively discounts WikiLeaks' proffer to the White House. Note also how the AP couples the White House's emphatic denial of receiving an offer with Schmitt's dismissal of the offer's sincerity to give the impression that WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange lied about offering to withhold harmful information. Yet, even accepting the jumbled timeline, Schmitt nonetheless admits that WikiLeaks did make its invitation to the White House before outing the military secrets. And that offer has never been answered. Who benefits from this tangled timeline and after-the-fact spin? Certainly not WikiLeaks, nor the muddled AP, nor Schmitt. No, the only beneficiary of this Make-Believe Media reporting spin job seems to be the administration, providing it a duck-and-cover defense to this matter of grave national security. Why would Eric Schmitt and the Times collaborate with WikiLeaks for the reports' publication on the one hand while simultaneously shielding the White House from WikiLeaks' assertion that it provided a reasonable opportunity to vet the reports? Consider that shortly after the first leak, Schmitt reported "American military officials are building a case to minimize the planned withdrawal of some troops from Afghanistan starting next summer, in an effort to counter growing pressure on President Obama from inside his own party to begin winding the war down quickly." The practical effect of this MBM dichotomy is to clothe the White House with plausible deniability over any responsibility for harmful content of the released reports while also advancing its leftist agenda against military involvement in Afghanistan. A genuinely concerned White House had, and apparently still has today, options ranging from vetting the documents, as invited by WikiLeaks' Founder Julian Assange, to judicial intervention, to diplomatic pressure, criminal prosecution of Assange, a notion apparently floated but abandoned, or even cyber attacks.. Yet so far, the Obama Administration qualifies to win the "courageous restraint" medal when it comes to protecting the U.S. military and its allies. At the end of the day, the White House handwringing and saber rattling has neither prevented nor blunted WikiLeaks' past or upcoming disclosures in the slightest, but it has provided some potential ammunition to advance the Democrat agenda for an early Afghanistan withdrawal. Never let a crisis go to waste.

It's true that restaurant food often has more calories (especially at fast food places), but there are always more than a few things that we can fall back upon, too! Roast chicken with steamed vegetables, fish dishes, soups. I lost about 20 lbs.
And let's face it - a lot of holiday foods made at home are laden with calories, too. My sweet potatoes are oven roasted with some herbs, without marshmallows and other such stuff! I find that they are already sweet enough on their own.
Maybe you can ask your swh's father if he's like to hula hoop with you after the holiday meal ;-)

Well, we might think it's a shame he doesn't join the family at restaurant gatherings, but your swh father might not have the same opinions and he's entitled to them!
My extended family doesn't have a problem with the food at restaurants but we have to be careful with the prices when organizing reunions at restaurants (it's usually at someone's house.) We had a big reunion last year at a restaurant, and it took some time to decide where to have it. A lot of the participants were retired and thus had smaller incomes. My mother finally found a place that she liked, but which offered a 50% discount for those over 60 (the majority of attendants). There were a few people who contributed more to help keep individual costs down.

CDN Combination Probe Thermometer, Timer & Clock DTTC S
|The best way to monitor the temperature of your roast without compromising the temperature of your oven is by using the CDN Combo Probe Thermometer, Timer & Clock. Each time you open your oven door, cold air rushes in. Your oven must then reheat itself in order to keep the air at a constant temperature inside. This causes fluctuations in cooking times and even results.To eliminate the need to open your oven door, simply insert the probe into your meat and attach the cable to the thermometer mechanism. Keep the mechanism on your counter or oven door and close the door on the cable. Now you can watch as the temperature rises, always knowing just how well it's doing. The large digital display will show both the actual temperature and the set temperature, and can alert you when the set temperature has been reached. The thermometer has a temperature range of 14 to 392°F (-10 to +200°C), with +/- 2° accuracy. The stainless steel probe is 5.5" long and the sensor cable is 3' long.You can also use the thermometer as a candy or deep fry thermometer, or even as an oven thermometer. Use the stainless steel clip to attach the probe to the inside of your pan without touching the sides or bottom to measure the temperature of your candy, chocolate or oil. Place the probe inside your oven and find out just how accurate your thermostat is.The CDN Combo Probe Thermometer, Timer & Clock will also act as a timer, allowing you to monitor cooking times with great accuracy. The timer will count up or down between 1 minute and 24 hours. The timer will alert you when zero is reached if counting down. A last count recall feature is included for repetitive timing.Other features of the combo probe thermometer include upper & lower limits when measuring temperature, a dual progress display, clock, stop and restart function, sliding mode switch, and temperature guide.

In a previous Fiskars gardening article, I shared the story of the day my husband fenced off a 50 foot x 100 foot area that would be my first "real" garden.
As a guy who loves to grow his own food, I still don't have all the room or time I need to enjoy everything summer's bounty has to offer.
True Gumbo Confession: Over the last few weeks, I've often wondered whether I was crazy to offer to create a gumbo for Fiskars.
All too often I think we take the functionality of trees for granted.
I meet a lot of new gardeners. One of my primary garden coaching jobs is to help them embark on a successful, rewarding, and achievable gardening lifestyle.
Roses are one of the most beloved garden flowers, and for good reason.
A well-organized tool caddy helps keep you focused on gardening tasks.
Planting small shrubs is scarcely any work at all with a posthole digger.
With a bit of planning among fellow food gardeners, you may be able to develop a seed growing program that reduces costs, workload, and waste while also helping everyone grow diverse and abundant edibles.
As we reach mid-summer, if you are like me, you're longing for a little invigoration in your garden routine.
It happens every year.
Pruning any plant can be tricky business.
One of the fun trends circulating through the crafting community right now is creative ways to use chalkboard paint.

The Top 10 New Courses You Can Play: 2008
1. The Golf Club at Tetherow
Bend, Ore.
7,450 yards, par 72;
Green fees: $195;
866-234-4848; tetherow.com
Scottish designer
David McLay Kidd was
schooled among the dunes
of Machrihanish and the
gorse of Gleneagles, and he
broke into architecture's
elite a decade ago with the
opening of Bandon Dunes.
His worldwide portfolio is
impressive, but Tetherow
is the place he calls home.
The layout rambles
over two ridgelines and is
seeded in wall-to-wall fescue,
ensuring fast conditions and
a links-like emphasis on the
ground game. A spectacular
exception is the all-carry
190-yard, par-3 17th, which
plays into an old pumice pit
to a dry island green.
Tetherow is a private
residential golf club that will
offer limited outside play
until 2010, when an onsite
boutique hotel comes online.
After that, it's members and
resort guests only. That gives
you plenty of time to see the
best "public" course of 2008.

Fundraising with Uintah's Community Partners
We just received a check from Smith's Food and Drug for $1,755 for last year's "Earn and Learn Program". That was EASY MONEY for us! We plan on purchasing three net book computers for the extra computer classroom, 2 ball pumps and equipment for our playground. Thanks to all who signed up last year and shopped at Smiths!
NOW IS THE TIME TO RENEW YOUR SUPPORT for Uintah Elementary this year with Smith's Earn and Learn Rewards Card! (You must renew every year). Take the Uintah Elementary School barcode (printed in our Newsletter) to Smith's when you shop and have the cashier scan the barcode when you present your rewards card at checkout. Make copies for all your friends, neighbors and family too! Then, don't forget to use your rewards card every time you shop at Smith's. It's that easy! To learn more about Smith's Earn and Learn program, visit www.SmithsFoodAndDrug.com.
If you shop at Smith's, or Target, you can sign up to have a portion of your purchase returned to Uintah. Every few months we receive a check from each company for about $100. The money helps fund the Arts at Uintah. We also collect Dan's grocery store receipts in a container outside the office.
We received $852 from "Box Tops for Education" last year (April 2011 - March 2012) and already have another $200 worth saved up since then. Great job to everyone who donated! We will send home collection papers every month for a reminderand you can put them in the Box Tops container outside the office. Please label the sheets with your child's teacher's name and we will tally which class collects the most!

Anton Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya," a meditation on wasted lives and frustration, gets a hopeful take in this fine staging.
Craig Johnson, gesturing, plays the title role in Gremlin Theatre's "Uncle Vanya." At left is Marlin L. Rothe (Telyegin). Mo Perry (Sonya) is seated at center. At right are Mary Kay Fortier-Spalding (Marya) and David Rinzema (Alexander).
Photo: Submitted photo
If warm weekend breezes tempted you to loll idly in the sun, Anton Chekhov has the antidote.
"Work. That's what we must do, work," says the title character near the end of Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya." Stunned by recent events, Vanya desperately takes solace in the exhortations of his niece, Sonya, to go on living and working and enduring. For in this, she passionately comforts her uncle, we find our purpose and we will enjoy our reward in the next world.
Sonya's closing speech -- not to mention the mien of the actor playing the role -- indicates how a particular production intends to interpret "Uncle Vanya." For example, critic Eric Bentley -- arguing for an earthbound reality -- wrote that "work for these people is not a means to happiness but a drug that will help them to forget." Janice Stone's fine production at Gremlin Theatre wishes for itself more redemption and grace.
It is a choice that actor Mo Perry embraces with good-hearted decency and compassion. As Craig Johnson's Vanya sits exhausted and numb, Perry's Sonya cradles his head and encourages him to, yes, work and then find his rest. It is a moment of devastating poignancy that allows perhaps more hopefulness than Chekhov intended, but nonetheless seems true to his meditation on the tragic constancy of everyday life.
In "Uncle Vanya," we watch Chekhov at his best -- walking the tight wire between comedy and tragedy. Johnson rages like a harlequin; his Vanya packs a pistol during a tantrum against his pompous former brother-in-law, professor Alexander Serebryakov. Yet, in his verbal typhoons we realize that Vanya's hatred is aimed not only at this insufferable visitor to the country estate, but at himself -- for allowing his own bad choices and inertia to bully him into a wasted life.
Sonya, the professor's daughter from his first wife, cuts through the malaise with her homeostasis, even as she yearns hopelessly for Astrov, the provincial physician. But Astrov, and Vanya, covet Alexander's gorgeous icicle of a new wife, Elena.
Stone's actors are a mixed bag. Perry is nothing less than a transparent heart in Sonya, and Johnson nicely articulates Vanya's tragicomic frustration. Carl Schoenborn is OK, but he demands less attention than Astrov requires. Otherwise, why does Elena find him attractive? And as for Elena, Stephanie Cousins is a statue of stunning beauty who rarely exhibits much depth of understanding. To her credit, that works. David Rinzema wisely allows for Alexander's fatuous self-importance to speak for itself.
Gremlin, for a small theater, has excellent technical values. A. Emily Heaney's costumes make just the right statements of character here. Katharine Horowitz's sound and Debbie Tallen's lights feel essential but unobtrusive, and Tamatha Miller's set expresses the hazy uncertainty that hangs over the piece.

There weren't many scares for the local high school football teams tonight. Some teams were tricked and others were treats. Here's the Halloween Friday night football roundup.
With just two games left for most teams and one game for others, the playoff race is in the final lap and the teams are headed toward the finish line. Some teams fare better than others, but every Newton County high school football team has a shot at making it to the big dance. Here are the current playoff implications for each team. (Note: this was written before Newton's game against Lovejoy).
Speaking to head coach Ashley Coles after her team became the runner up in region 2-AAAAAA, she was confident her team could advance to the second round. Those expectations, although they were not met were very realistic. The Lady Rams came into the first round with an 13-15 record and Tift came into the matchup with an 11-17 record. After Tift's sweep against Newton the two teams finished with identical records. Coles recaps her first year as head coach and speaks on the future of the program in this Q&A.
Newton's softball team fresh off asecond place finish in the Region 2-AAAAAA tournament hosted the first round matchup of the Georgia AAAAAA state playoffs against Tift County.
Artice Hobbs and Josh Slaton have been selected as the athletes of the week for their respective schools. Newton and Alcovy played on Friday. These two players stood out amongst their peers. Eastside played late on Saturday, after press deadline; the Eagles' Athlete of the Week will be named at www.covnews.com on Monday.
Without two of their usual starters, senior receiver Davonta Jones and defensive back Steven Montac, the Rams were able to fend off a scrappy Alcovy team and cruise to a 33-7 victory. Within the game Newton was able to realize the depth it has at quarterback and at running back. The Tigers saw that they're not without promise on defense and that turnovers are still a problem.
Romario Johnson looks off to the sideline as the rest of the offense gets set. The coaches are signaling to Johnson with an array of arm movements, not a play but a playlist. In Rams' coach Terrance Banks' spread offense the quarterback is the key to the offense's success. Johnson gets the options from the coaches, and it's up to him to read the defense's coverage and choose the best play.
The fourth Atlanta Falcons Heads Up Clinic of the fall took place at Newton High School on Monday night in Covington. This clinic included 112 parents in attendance during the informational session and 194 youth participants.
The saying goes numbers never lie, that saying is inaccurate. Numbers won't necessarily lie, but they won't tell you the full story.
Sunday is for the NFL, Saturday is for college football, but Friday? Friday is for the gridiron warriors that eventually gravitate to college, and for some, the pros. Friday is for high school football.
Now it counts for real.
The Newton Rams will join Alcovy in the second round of the winner's bracket in the Region 2-AAAAAA postseason tournament, outlasting the Luella Lions 5-3 Tuesday night at Alcovy.
After falling in the first match of a tri-match against Eastside on Thursday, the Newton Rams rebounded with a straight set win over Alcovy.
The Newton Rams won their region opener, while grabbing their second win of the season, against the Alcovy Tigers on Friday night 17-14 at Sharp Stadium, spoiling the Tigers' hopes of obtaining the Newton Cup.
For his efforts on the gridiron, Newton High sophomore running back Artice Hobbs has been named Rams Athlete of the Week.
While its 1-3 record may not be what the Newton High varsity football team would like to carry into Sharp Stadium Friday night, a new season for the Rams begins as they take on rival Alcovy in their first region game of the season.
The Newton High School varsity volleyball team dropped a non-region contest to Heritage Tuesday night, falling in straight sets to the Patriots on the road.
The Lady Rams 1963 regional champion and state runner-up varsity basketball team reunited this past weekend, celebrating their 33-1 overall record. Members of the region championship team include, first row: Sandra Lester Needham, Day Morcock Kennon, Betty Jaynes, Rosemary Laster Powell and Lynda Satterfield LaFollette. Second row: Diane Carter Dickson, Donna Dooley Tomlin and Ameila Spillers Moseley. Third row: Carlyn Maloy McConnell, Kay Shaw Coggin, Carolyn Strange Ariail and Susan Cooper Wilson.
Freshman starting pitcher Maddie Cronic threw a no-hitter for the Newton Lady Rams on Senior Night, as the varsity softball team ended their regular season Thursday night with a 12-0 win over the Lovejoy Wildcats.
The Newton Rams suffered their second consecutive road loss Friday night at Langston Hughes, falling to the Panthers 44-7 at Langston Hughes Stadium.
The crash came hard for Newton coach Terrance Banks after the fall.
Newton junior Racheal Brown has been named the Rams' Athlete of the Week this week for her relentless effort on the cross country course.
The Newton varsity volleyball team's senior class went out with a bang Tuesday night at home, defeating county rival Alcovy 3-1 on Senior Night.
The Newton Rams fell to 1-2 Friday night on the road at Valdosta, as the Wildcats earned a 41-14 victory over the Rams in non-region play.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Newton Rams softball team hosted the Seminoles of Salem at Newton High, falling 4-3 in non-region action.
The Newton Rams have an opportunity to knock off their second consecutive top-10 opponent tonight, but this time, the Rams won't be sneaking into Lowndes County.

He's well know in celebrity circles for his high-profile relationship with Cheeky Girl Gabriella, but Lembit Opik was in full politican mode as the election results were announced in the small hours of Friday.
Mr Opik has been forced out by Glyn Davies - the Tory challenger - who overturned a 7,173 majority in the Montgomeryshire constituency.
The Welsh Lib Dem candidate, whose parents came from Estonia, has held the seat since 1997.
"I'm really quite disappointed I lost," he said. "I didn't expect the result and neither did my team.
"It's a sad time for me. On the other side, if you stand for politics you have to be willing to contemplate the possibility of defeat."
Four years before breaking up with Gabriella he went through a very public split with Welsh weather presenter Sian Lloyd, to whom he had also become engaged.

text: Democrats Refuse to Back Rockefeller's Racial Attack Against GOP Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 23 May 2014 post a comment After accusing Republicans of opposing President Obama's agenda because he's the "wrong color," retiring Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) found no support among his fellow Democrats. Politico reports that "On Thursday, no Democrats publicly rushed to back Rockefeller's assertion[.]" Even Harry Reid, the radical and unbalanced Democrat leader of the Senate, refused to back his colleague. "Between the two of them. I'm staying out of it," Reid said. "I mean, it's something I should stay out of and I'm going to." Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), the only Republican in the room when Rockefeller made the remark, did comment. He fired back immediately: -- -- It was regrettable and I would say it was offensive … that you would play the race card. That you would say that opposition to Obamacare necessarily must stream from some inherent racism? Very offensive. Listen, my opposition to health care has nothing to do with the race of President Obama. It is the greatest assault on our freedom in my lifetime. Senator Tim Scott, a black Republican from South Carolina who opposes Obama's agenda as vigorously as any white Republican, told Politico that Rockefeller's comments were about appealing to the "lowest common denominator" and were "inconsistent with the truth." Scott wasn't sure whether offering his opinion to Rockefeller would make much difference and seemed to harbor no anger toward Rockefeller, regardless of how strongly he disagreed with him. The president in my presence has said himself that Obamacare is a name that he likes. So to think that somehow there is a racial component to the name of Obamacare, is just ridiculous. And to think that we don't like the health care law because of race is ridiculous.Obviously, I have no ill will toward the president because of his race. You know I just think it's unfortunate that we find a way to try to divide and conquer. But, I can't judge another man's heart. Rockefeller was elected to the United States Senate in 1985 and until 2010 was the junior West Virginia Senator to Democrat Robert Byrd, who for nine years was a high-ranking member in the Ku Klux Klan. Less than a year ago, Rockefeller posted this tribute to "his great friend." UPDATE: Rockefeller's party identification has been corrected. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

This a simple cabled cowl knit in the round in a DK yarn.
You can make a wider or longer cowl by adding an extra pattern repeat, OR knit with a worsted yarn on a bigger needle size.
