The Blue Ridge League
May 27, 2012
Time can distance some from their pedigree. So it seems to be the case with the Blue Ridge League — the real and historic baseball association, not the amateur rendering of today in name only....

Every day, thousands of cancer patients need a ride to treatment, but some may not have a way to get there.
The American Cancer Society Road to Recovery program provides transportation to and from treatment for people who have cancer who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can receive the life-saving treatments they need.
Call 800-227-2345 to find out if Road to Recovery is available in your community.
The American Cancer Society has a vast volunteer network in which individuals can make a difference in the fight against cancer.
Volunteers can help with the Road to Recovery program by serving as volunteer drivers or coordinators.
Volunteer drivers donate their time and resources to take patients to treatment and back home again. They also provide encouragement and support. Drivers must have a valid driver's license for the state where they live. They must also have a safe, reliable vehicle and proof of automobile insurance.
Volunteer drivers must have a good driving history and be in good health.
Driver coordinators help schedule the rides. Coordinators can work whenever it's convenient for them, one day a week, during the evening, or weekends.
All it takes is as little as four hours a week of your time, organization and communication skills to make a major impact on the well-being of cancer patients in your community.
A person can volunteer as often as he or she wishes.
To learn about volunteer opportunities, call 800-227-2345.

Like Weaver's new dress. I would have had them behind B/S actually, but basically the scores are close, so I'm fine with them.
Like Weaver's new dress. I would have had them behind B/S actually, but basically the scores are close, so I'm fine with them.
is that flip move legal?
ETA: good program. 69.15. Hm....interesting.
Can't say I like the can can as a choice for the YP. It makes the timing seem off when it isn't. But it does fit the story line they are using.
Well that was lovely from P/B. The ending needs to have more of a punch to it to have more impact, but a nice outing for sure.
I would agree Mrs. P I thought B/S were a little stronger here tonight. But it looks like it was a really tight one. W/P won it in the TES B/S got the edge in PCS.
P/B gave a great debut! Head and shoulders above the rest for me.
awkward lift....
im not enjoying the tempo alteration to fit the polka...
it got weird and sluggish. and i think a little fumble/glitch in the 3rd pass.
but overall charming
echoes of delobel/schoenfelder....
Hopefully videos are up soon, but from what I've seen in scores, Pechalat and Bourzat aren't going to get thrown under the bus after their "pity" medal at worlds.
YESSS what a score! Lovely program they look sharp, I was afraid that since this was their first international competition they will look a bit rusty. Great, great, great french program
B/S edge out W/P on the PCS score this time. Hmm

Easily in the lead. Well no real surprises here, certainly in the top three. Really glad to see that Chock and Bates seem to be improving and climbing up the ladder. I think the judges are saying they really see the team starting to break through to the next tier. It's going to keep nationals interesting for that third US spot for sure!
Protocols are up
Also, about my comment about pity medal - I was simply stating something that had been said many times before - that many people believed that Pechalat and Bourzat's time was up after they won the bronze in Nice. I never said that I agreed with that sentiment.
Anyway, it looks like Bobrova and Soloviev lost to Weaver and Poje because of their Polka. They had two levels lower.
Also, that livestream doesn't work for me, but thanks anyway.

New Country Auto Center has been sold to Rydell Chevrolet of Grand Forks, N.D.
Nancy Ariano, owner of the auto center, said she hadn�t thought about selling the dealership, but Rydell is the perfect fit for the Durango community because it values communities.
�It�s earlier than I would have chosen, but it is the right thing at the right time,� the 61-year-old Ariano said Friday.
Ariano met Wes Rydell � owner of Rydell Chevrolet � when Ariano owned a separate dealership in Grand Forks 32 years ago. They were put in contact again recently, and the deal came to fruition about a month ago. Ariano said she didn�t make a final decision to sell until Monday.
Rydell is known for buying dealerships in small towns and then transferring ownership to the manager over time, Rydell said. Mike Aus will manage and eventually own the auto center and has worked for Rydell for 25 years.
Aus owned a store in a Wisconsin town with a population of 7,500 and said he always wanted to move his family to Colorado.
The selling price of the dealership hasn�t been determined, Ariano said, but her main concern was for her employees.
�I love my employees. I want them to have a good future,� she said. �My employees are my best friends and my family. I�m giving them a future that I can�t provide for them.�
No employees will be laid off with the change in leadership, Aus said.
The deal won�t be official for another two months pending approval of the car manufacturers.
No changes are in the works right now for the auto center, but Rydell is always looking to expand its businesses, Aus said.
Ariano also has a New Country Auto Center in Cortez in which she will retain ownership.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
August 2, 2012
Saint Vincent College is mourning the loss of Katie Puwalowski of Pittsburgh (Lawrenceville), 19, a student at Saint Vincent College, who died as a result of injuries suffered in an automobile accident on Monday evening. According to police, the accident happened near the Carnegie exit in Scott Township around 11:16 p.m. A vehicle traveling west lost a rear tire which proceeded to bounce down the road and over the barrier into oncoming traffic. The tire struck Ms. Puwalowski's car which started to lose control but her passenger, Dean Graner, grabbed the steering wheel and brought the vehicle to a stop. Mr. Graner, a sophomore at Saint Vincent College and Katie's boyfriend, was returning from a college mission trip to China. She died on Tuesday, July 31 at UPMC Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh. "It was with sorrow that we learned of the tragic death of Katie." Br Norman W. Hipps, O.S.B., president, said. "We extend our deepest sympathies to her family and friends and others who knew and loved her." Katie was the daughter of Walter V. Puwalowski, Jr. and Dawn M. Culp. She had a brother, Matthew J. Puwalowski. She was a June 2011 graduate of North Catholic High School where she was a member of the National Honor Society, Forensics Club and Campus Ministry. At Saint Vincent, Katie was a sophomore studio arts major and a member of the Dean's List. "Katie was a bright, talented, young woman," commented Br. Nathan Cochran, chair of the fine arts department and her academic advisor. "She was also quite artistically talented. Her death is quite a loss to us all. Our art students and faculty mourn losing someone who always had a smile on her face and was very friendly and outgoing. She always added sunshine to any room she entered and was the type to make good friends easily. We wish consolation for her family and friends. May she rest in peace." "Saint Vincent has suffered a devastating loss of the life of a wonderful student with a bright future and a host of people who cared about her," commented Tom Cocchi, president of the Student Government Association. Friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. today and tomorrow (August 2 and 3) at the Hahn Funeral Home and Cremation Services Inc., 123 North Ave., Pittsburgh (in Millvale, next to Holy Spirit R.C. Church), phone 412 821-3700. Mass of Christian Burial at 1 p.m. Saturday, August 4 in Holy Spirit R.C. Church. 600 Farragut St., Pittsburgh (Millvale) 15209, phone 412 821-4424.

Origami is fun.

Can you define these popular missing words?

The Japanese art of paperfolding, the name deriving from two Japanese words, "ori" meaning to fold, and "kami" meaning paper.
Origami is intricate and delicate, amusing and entertaining, beautiful yet inexpensive, and made from one of man's most versatile creations. No wonder origami was revered by the ancient Japanese, adored by children around the world and throughout the ages, and is now regarded as a creative and sophisticated art form.

Counterfeit currency and security documents
The crime of counterfeiting currency is as old as the creation of money itself. Recent developments in photographic, computer and printing technologies, along with the availability of low-cost equipment, have made the production of counterfeit money relatively easy.
Criminals often use stolen or fake identity documents in order to carry out financial crimes. We are leading an international, cross-sector partnership to improve the level of security of official documents.
Project S-Print
Project S-Print is an international monitoring system on the security printing industry and suppliers, including the verification of second-hand intaglio machines, security printing equipment and suspicious purchase orders.
The objective of the project is to reduce the crime of currency counterfeiting and altered security documents by preventing the necessary production materials and supplies from reaching the counterfeiters.
- Help establish new national monitoring systems and assist existing ones;
- Prevent criminals from sourcing raw materials that could be used to counterfeit genuine currency and security documents;
- Minimize the risk of misuse of Intaglio Machines;
Our ultimate goal is to combat currency counterfeiting world wide.
Suspicious orders
The following checklist is intended to help suppliers of printing materials identify orders that could be related to the manufacture of banknotes or identity documents.
Are any of these features present in the order?
- Cash purchases;
- Unverified residential addresses;
- Personal collections;
- Industrial equipment/supplies going to residential addresses;
- Urgency of supplies;
- Receipts/invoices not requested;
- No contract requested for repairs/servicing.

More than 30 years ago, Calvin Inouye and his friends gathered around the television to watch movies played on a video home system, or VHS - a fairly new gadget to homes at the time.
Friend Jeffrey Yamanishi, also known as the "movie guru," used to buy VHS tapes of movies from Oahu and bring them back to Maui for him and his buddies to watch at his bachelor pad.
"His icebox was empty, but he was rich in movies," said fellow friend and business partner Alfred Cantorna.
Article Photos
Paradise Video's interior with lots of shelves of video tapes is shown in this photo.
Paradise Video owners Alfred Cantorna (from left), Calvin Inouye and Jeffrey Yamanishi opened their first store 30 years ago in Happy Valley. They started their business by renting out their own collection of VHS tapes. At its peak, the company expanded to four locations across Maui and had more than 30,000 VHS tapes in its collection. Paradise Video has the largest DVD rental library on Maui, with more than 13,000 titles. The video store provides other services such as disk scratch removals and computer maintenance/repairs.
The three men then thought, "Why don't we rent them out, that way we can use the money to get more movies?" Inouye recalls.
So they did and opened up Paradise Video in Happy Valley.
"When we first opened up the store, it was kind of a hobby for us," said Inouye, 56. "We didn't think we were going to be in business for 30 (plus) years. Thirty (one) years later, we are still here."
Just more than a month after big movie retailer Blockbuster closed its doors in Kahului, Inouye said Paradise Video is "still kicking," although it hasn't been located in Happy Valley for some time. Now it's in Kahului near Sheik's Restaurant on Wakea Avenue.
"When Blockbuster moved in, we thought, 'Oh gosh, here we go.' They ended up closing (sooner) than we did," Inouye said.
Blockbuster still maintains its Kihei store.
Paradise Video has outlasted a national retailer of movie rentals and has survived the various business climates that have eaten up many local and small video and now DVD movie rental businesses.
Inouye said he believes that the small business founded by himself, Yamanishi and Cantorna has fared well over the years because it offers a variety of titles, even the old films and foreign marital arts movies, which are harder to find online. He calls the foreign martial art movies selection the business's niche.
He adds that there is still an appeal to walk into a movie rental store and peruse the titles.
"I think some people just like to look at the boxes and read what it's about," he said.
The store has around 4,000 members, although there could be more, Inouye said.
Paradise Video customers do have membership cards. They are free with local identification and a charge card.
Inouye said Paradise Video has new releases every Tuesday and offers specials Sunday through Friday.
The store offers help with resurfacing DVDs, although he cautions that all cannot be repaired. The shop also serves as a computer drop-off site for Kamehameha Schools Maui high school student Ian Aquino's computer repair and website business, Inouye said, adding they are happy to help a fellow young business owner start up.
Back when they began the store, Inouye, who now lives in Kahului, worked on his family farm in Kula, and took on the store full time. His business partners worked elsewhere and put in time after work. Yamanishi, 58, of Kahului works at Walmart and Cantorna, 56, of Wailuku works at Goodwill Industries.
The men started off with 50 titles, mostly VHS tapes, although there were some Beta movies, at their Happy Valley store in 1981. It was Yamanishi's personal collection.
Then they moved to a Central Avenue site in Wailuku and around 1983 or '84 they moved into a longtime site at Puuone Plaza near Tokyo Tei restaurant. They stayed there for 10 to 15 years.
At that time, the store boasted 20,000 titles.
In the business's heyday, in the late '80s and early '90s, it had stores also in Kahului, Kihei and Pukalani, in addition to its Wailuku store.
But eventually those stores closed because of expiring leases, nonrenewal of leases or because of higher rents.
The Kihei store behind the Jack In The Box closed after about five years because the location wasn't visible enough and didn't attract as many customers as hoped, Inouye said.
Eventually Paradise Video had only one store, where it is now on Wakea Avenue. It has been there for around a decade, Inouye said.
In the early 2000s, Paradise upgraded its whole inventory to DVDs because VHS tapes were becoming obsolete.
Even though the business had its high and low points, the men were able to keep the business alive.
"I don't think there was ever a time we thought, 'Let's sell off the business and close,' " Inouye said.
But he admitted Blockbuster did "make a dent" in the business.
"We still had our regulars. . . . Now that they are closed (in Kahului) we have some that are coming back again, from going away from us to them," he said.
Inouye added that the Redbox, which provides movies on DVDs at automated retail kiosks, has also made an impact on the business.
But "there's still something to be said about mom-and-pop stores and brick-and-mortar stores."
Cantorna said that after more than three decades, the store is in their blood.
"For us, even though a lot of video stores are closing down, it still remains part of our lives. It's not as profitable as it was in the past. We just enjoy the business, people still enjoy coming into a video store."
But he added for the most part he's pleased that the business hasn't affected his longtime friendships with his old buddies.
"We thought this might be a current trend (31 years ago). This would be something worth going into. It proved right."

The new generation of 'capsules' will be reusable, unlike Apollo-era tech. As great as the shuttle was it's ground handling and refurbishment was a manpower and cost nightmare.

CHARLES TOWN - The Washington Street Artists' Cooperative will open its newest exhibit, "What Delights the Eye," at its gallery in the Charles Town Visitors Center on Feb. 2 from 5-7:30 p.m.
The reception with member artists Amy George, Sue Parker and Patricia Perry is free to the public.
The new exhibit of paintings kicks off a year of six scheduled shows through February 2014 in the Fire Hall Gallery that includes WSAC member artists Frank Ceravalo, Gary Bergel, Mary Jo Bennett, Joe Bourgeois, Annette Verna, Bruce Chandler, Joanna Athey, Jewell Hellems, and Suzanne Ravgiala in both solo and group shows.
Sue Parker has taken watercolor instruction at the Montpelier Art Center in Laurel, Md.; studied oil painting at Hagerstown Community College; the Waynesboro Studio Club and is studying oils with Michael Davis.
Patricia Perry studied under Richard Diebenkorn, Irving Petlin and Jan Stussy at UCLA, receiving a B.A in Fine Art. After graduation, she worked at the UCLA Art Galleries and the U.C. Berkeley Art.
Amy George started doing pastels when she was a child. For the last several years, she has concentrated on watercolor. George has studied with Catherine Hillis.
Incorporated in August 2011, the nonprofit Washington Street Artists' Cooperative supports both emerging and established artists in its gallery, showing juried work by member artists and artisans. The Co-op gallery is located at 108 N. George St. in Charles Town.
The Co-op's mission is to provide a space where artists and artisans in the West Virginia Panhandle region can create, teach, exhibit and sell their work, and to nurture an appreciation for art in the community.
Co-op Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. For more information, call 304-724-2090 or visit wstreetgallery.com.

One of the most highly anticipated tablets that will soon be
heading to the market is the Motorola Xoom. The tablet was first
announced during CES and will come packing Android 3.0 "Honeycomb".
The Xoom aims to impress with a dual-core processor,
10.1" 1280x800 display, 1GB of RAM, dual webcams, and a 3G wireless radio
(which can be upgraded to LTE/4G). However, following the release of Motorola's
Super Bowl ad for the Xoom (which conveniently played on Apple's 1984 Super Bowl ad, this time with Apple as the oppressor), we're finding out some not-so-great information
about the tablet.
For starters, the 32GB tablet is priced
at $799.99 according to Best Buy. Data pricing isn't exactly cheap either,
coming in at $20, $35, $50, and $80 for 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, and 10GB respectively.
The biggest hang-up, however, appears to be with Motorola's
implementation of Wi-Fi on the Xoom. Engadget
reports that customers will be forced to purchase at least one month's
worth of 3G data (plus the accompanying activation fee) before Wi-Fi is even
enabled on the device. We're hoping that this is just a typo in the Best Buy ad
flyer, because that kind of restriction just won't fly with customers these
The Motorola Xoom will be made available on February 24. You
can check out the Super Bowl commercial for the tablet and its minisite here.

The pollsters say it's up for grabs. So both sides know that these are the three most important factors in today's 1st Congressional District special election between Mark Sanford and Elizabeth Colbert Busch: Turnout, turnout and turnout.
This race has attracted considerable attention in and beyond the district and state. It has also stirred some hard feelings.
But if you're a 1st District registered voter, and you want to have a say in who represents you in the U.S. House for the next year and a half, it's now your turn to choose.
More than 290,000 people voted in last November's 1st District House election.
Less than a quarter of that total voted in the March 19 primaries to pick Tim Scott's replacement — fewer than 55,000 in the Republican primary and fewer than 17,000 in the Democratic primary. Then on April 7, fewer than 47,000 voted in the GOP runoff.
Sure, the 2012 1st District contest was part of a presidential general election, and thus bound to generate a large turnout.
Yet today's election to pick South Carolina's next member of Congress should rate a big crowd of voters, too.
This House seat came open after Gov. Nikki Haley appointed Mr. Scott, who had won a second term mere weeks earlier, to the U.S. Senate to fill the void left by Jim DeMint's resignation.
Today, the many folks who have taken a ballot-box pass — so far — on this spirited contest get a last chance to correct that mistake of omission.
We endorsed Ms. Colbert Busch in Sunday's paper, citing her impressive background in the business community, her energetic advocacy of economic development in the district and her resolve to work across party lines to advance practical solutions to the pressing problems of our times.
We also recommend, though, that regardless of whether you agree with our judgment in this race, you make your judgment count today.
Our self-governing system depends on a well-informed, actively engaged electorate.
And when you don't exercise your precious right to vote, you have precious little right to complain about who represents you in the halls of power.

In gambling terms 'Full bank job' means to put a large amount of money on one selection to win such as Red/Black, a particular sports team, or player. The term 'Full bank job' originates from gambling a much larger wager than you usually would. In alot of cases, 'Full bank job' also means to put 90% or more of your betting bank on one single bet.

Did I Like the Futurama Movie? You Decide!
As a guy with huge nerd boners for sci-fi, fast-paced comedy AND David X. Coen, this was set to be the triple-boner event of the season as far as I was concerned, and maybe all that build-up made some disappointment inevitable. Honestly, I don't think I would have been fully satisfied unless the movie ended with Bender looking directly to camera and saying "Hey you, Michael Swaim; come have adventures with me in space! I'll bring the Slurm!"
I'll list the awesome stuff first, which on the surface is the vast majority of the product, which you should totally buy. Bender's Big Score had:
All told, I really enjoyed it, although the two songs they put in sucked (I'm not sure what the deal was with those).
So what the hell is my problem? Couldn't tell you really, except that through the whole thing, I never seemed to laugh. And that's saying something, since during the run of the series I lost a number of friends to my inability to go thirty seconds without spewing a quote from the show. Yes, I'm one of those people. And no, I don't regret driving my girlfriend to suicide; thank you very much for bringing it up.
Maybe it's been so long I'm just not immersed in the world anymore. Maybe I was so excited my mind shut down with pleasure and refused to absorb the humor. Maybe it's just plain not as funny as it once was. Maybe I'm overthinking this by a significant margin.
In any case, I turn to you, Cracked Blog readership: Did I like the Futurama movie?
Also, does anything in this post make me sound racist? Because if so, I just fucking give up.

We examined Scribbles, and in the process, found that this intact female cat's temperature was 104°F (a cat's normal temperature is between 101° and 103°F) and that she had a green discharge coming from her vulvar area. We suspected pyometra, an infected uterus. We recommended surgery to remove the diseased organ. The owners agreed to the surgery.
Prior to anesthesia, we performed some baseline blood tests to better ascertain the impact of her infection on her other systems and to help us select the most appropriate anesthetic regimen. We started her on intravenous fluids and antibiotics, and prepared her for surgery later that day.
We anesthetized Scribbles, and when we opened her abdomen, we found an enlarged uterus, filled with fluid (pus). We removed the uterus and ovaries. We provided medications for pain and continued the antibiotics. Two days later, Scribbles was eating well and her temperature was normal. She went home with antibiotics, and when we reexamined the cat at the follow-up, she was happy, healthy, and back to her old self.
Pyometra or pyometritis (pus and inflammation of the uterus) are conditions that are far too common in
un-spayed female dogs and also in cats. This is another good reason to spay or neuter your pet unless you are an experienced breeder.

BEIRUT, 7 July 2012 – The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and its partners in Lebanon today delivered new equipment worth some EUR 78,000 to two cooperatives in the Bekaa Valley.
The cooperative "Zadat El Khayrat" in Bednayel and "Cooperative Association for Beekeepers" in Baalbeck received the equipment as part of the "Community Empowerment and Livelihoods Enhancement Project" (CELEP) funded by the Italian Government, and implemented by UNIDO in partnership with the Italian NGO, the Istituto per la Cooperazione Universitaria (ICU), in collaboration with the Ministries of Industry and Agriculture.
The CELEP project has been developed to empower conflict affected communities in Lebanon through the revitalization of their productive capacities. It will strengthen and sustain the livelihood development process by revitalizing selected agro-processing enterprises and other economic activities in the south and the north of Lebanon and the Bekaa valley. The project has so far upgraded 32 small and medium agro enterprises, with approximately 950 households benefitting from this support.
Receiving the equipment, Hamad Jaafar, the president of the Cooperative Association for Beekeepers in Baalbeck, said that the wax foundation sheet machine, the first of its kind in the Bekaa Valley, will help enhance the quality and decrease the cost of production of honey.
Raghida El Masri, president of the Cooperative Association of Zadat El Khayrat in Bednayel, said that the new equipment will help producers of essential oil and jam products, as well as in job creation and women empowerment in the region.
The Minister of Agriculture, Hussein Hajj Hassan, said the ministry was working to improve market access for local agricultural products and praised the progressive cooperation that is on-going for this project with the Ministry of Industry, the UNIDO and ICU.
The Ambassador of Italy, Giuseppe Morabito, commended the efforts of the Government of Lebanon to enhance the agro-industrial sector and highlighted the close and continuous cooperation between Italy and UNIDO.

MARTINSBURG - From her seat at the end of a check-out counter, Pam Cook, The Journal's Warm the Children coordinator, looked up momentarily from documenting receipts Sunday and spied a young expecting mother in line.
Cook asked the woman, one of many parents who will benefit from The Journal's Warm the Children program this year, when she is expecting. The woman, several months pregnant, answered "February."
The woman already had a stack of clothes in hand for her other children, but, without hesitation, Cook told her to go ahead and shop for the soon-to-be-born baby too, even though the child is not officially on her list yet.

Journal photo by Edward Marshall
Jacqueline Claveria stocks up on winter clothes for her three children Sunday at Kmart thanks to The Journal's Warm the Children campaign.
It shouldn't be a surprise then to learn that Cook, as well as the other volunteers that work with the Warm the Children Program, is no stranger to hugs. That was one common sight Sunday as The Journal partnered with Kmart in Martinsburg for a Warm the Children shopping event.
"People are very appreciative of what we do for them. It's not unusual for someone to come up and start crying or someone to come up and say, 'Thank you, you don't know how much this has helped me this year.' It just makes it all worthwhile," Cook said.
Since its inception in 1996, the campaign has distributed more than $425,000 worth of warm winter clothing to children all over the Eastern Panhandle. Each year, the campaign assists hundreds of families during the holidays. On Sunday alone, Cook said the campaign would be helping 100 children.
"Warm the Children is a program that is done nationwide with newspapers, and what we do is we collect donations from the community. They send in money and checks, and we take that money and we get a list of names from agencies," Cook said.
The children who are eligible for The Journal's Warm the Children program are recommended through service organizations like the Salvation Army, Starting Points and Catholic Communities, as well as several others.
Once a family is deemed eligible for the program, they are able to shop for $75 worth of warm winter clothing for each child in the household. Martinsburg businesses Kmart and Bon-Ton both participate in the program, and offer additional discounts and sales to aid each family.
"We pay for it and then they can take the clothes home and they can wrap them for Christmas, unless they need it right away. We're helping about 100 children today at KMart," Cook said.
The next Warm the Children shopping event will be at the Bon-Ton Nov. 27. The program's primary support comes through donations from local businesses and residents of the Eastern Panhandle. Cook said the campaign will continue as long as the program keeps receiving donations.
"I do this until the money runs out or the holidays get here, whichever is first," Cook said.
Donations for the program still are being accepted and can be mailed to The Journal, 207 W. King St., Martinsburg, WV 25401. Checks should be made payable to Warm the Children.
Cook said donations have been a little bit slower to come in this year, but added that she hopes more donations will be made as the holidays approach.
"If people want to donate money, they just send money in and make the check out to Warm the Children. Send it into The Journal and we'll make sure that it gets put to good use for the children," Cook said.

Caramlizing fruit is a "knock-em-dead" way to make a quick dessert and to use up fruit that has been languishing a bit too long in the fruit bowl. Bananas, pears or apples, take well to this treatment. The recipe is very flexible, according to size and amount. Since I keep heavy cream in the refrigerator, it is easy for me as well. (Heavy cream has a very long refrigerator life, so this is easier than it sounds.)
The fruit can also be put over a pancake, crepe or pie shell. It can even go over vanilla ice cream, without the heavy cream. The trick is using a hot saute or frying pan slightly larger than the total amount of cut up fruit, so the sugars in the fruit caramelize rather than turn to mush.
Nathalie Dupree is the author of 13 cookbooks, most recently the James Beard award-winning "Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking." She lives in Charleston and may be reached through Nathaliedupree.com.
Quick Caramelized Fruit
Serves 2 to 4
1 to 2 pears, apples or bananas, or a combination
1 to 2 tablespoons butter
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
Slice the fruit (peeled as necessary) into 6 or 8 wedges or slices removing any core and seeds. Melt the butter in a heavy frying pan until hot and singing. Add the fruit in one layer and cook for one to two minutes on the first side, until the butter and the fruit begin to brown. Sprinkle with sugar as desired and turn with a metal spatula. Cook on the second side until the fruit is lightly browned and caramelized. Sprinkle with sugar. Add the cream to the pan and continue to cook until the fruit is soft and the cream has boiled down by half, about five minutes. (If the fruit is already soft when the cream is added, remove them before adding the cream, boil up the cream and then pour the warm cream over the fruit.)

The owner of a steel bridge in Salem Township that had between 25 and 30 beams stolen last week placed this "Reward" sign on his property Wednesday. The bridge was built over a creek in the 37000 block of state Route 344 and is accessible from Lisbon Canfield Road. Salem Township Constable Dan Valentine said he has developed a couple of leads on the crime. He said it would have taken at least two people to remove and load the beams since each weighed about 100 pounds. The $1,000 reward is for the conviction of the people responsible and return of the bridge.

First, it is important to know that Blinc Eyeliner is not a cosmetic paint like most liquid eyeliners, and therefore cannot act like them. This means no fading, smudging, clumping, running and most importantly, no flaking into your eyes, making it ideal for those with sensitive eyes as well as contact lens wearers. Did you know that most eyeliner sensitivities occur because of gradual flaking into the eye?
Brush on Blinc Eyeliner like a traditional eyeliner. Its precision brush makes it as easy as using a pencil. After about one minute, the layer of color will set on your skin. The eyeliner is very tenacious, so you don't have to worry about it. Whether your daily activities take you from the office, to your workout and then out to dinner, Blinc Eyeliner will look as good in the evening as it did when you first applied it in the morning.
No eye makeup remover required! Blinc Eyeliner only requires a combination water and slight pressure and the color layers will effortlessly slide off…you will actually see them in your hand. Keep in mind that it must be a combination of water & pressure to remove, not one or the other. Pressure alone will not do it, and water alone will not do it. However, water and pressure combined, like when you are taking a shower, will make the color layers gently slide right off, leaving no tint or residue behind. This is a lot healthier for your eyes since there is no buildup on your skin over time. And since Blinc Eyeliner does not require harmful eye makeup removers, it is also healthier for your entire eye area since you are not rubbing the part of your face that is most susceptible to wrinkling. In addition, Blinc Eyeliner does not penetrate your skin, unlike most liquid eyeliners. You will be happy to discover that only Blinc Eyeliner gives you the best of both worlds…the hold that you have always wanted and the ease-of-removal that you have always wished for.

During a timeout before the Titans' last play from scrimmage, Stevie Johnson jumped off the sideline to offer a few words of encouragement. It had been a trying game in a trying season for his teammates on the other side of the ball. Standing before them was a chance to turn back Tennessee and turn back their critics.
Make one play, and the Bills go into the bye week with a respectable 4-3 record that would have ensured them a tie atop the AFC East. Make one play, and embarrassing games against New England and San Francisco are forgotten along with the humiliating first half against Tennessee that put Buffalo in this position in the first place.
Just make a play.
Johnson, with the tassel bouncing from his pink knit hat, circled his teammates huddling near the sideline and tapped all 11 defensive players on their helmets. He explained later that it was his way of covering the bases. He didn't want to look back, if they failed to make one play, and say he should have raced onto the field. A few moments later, Johnson stood helplessly while watching the play unfold, giving him the direct opposite result of what he had hoped. Aging backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck converted a fourth-and-9 play with a 15-yard touchdown strike to receiver Nate Washington for the winning score in a 35-34 victory over the Bills.
"It didn't work," Johnson said with a laugh. "I can't do nothing but laugh right now, man, but it's tough. I gotta do something. Maybe I should get aggressive with those big, bulky guys. I need to push them around. They would probably respond better to that."
Johnson was only kidding, of course. Stevie, what a card. Seriously, the defense has been pushed around all season and hasn't responded at all. The Bills had good intentions, like Johnson did Sunday, and watched them backfire, like Johnson's did Sunday.
The Bills signed Mario Williams to boost the defense, and it's worse than it was before he signed a $100 million contract. The Defensive Diva was invisible again in another uninspiring afternoon in which he was credited with two tackles. He complained about injuries afterward before admitting he hasn't met his own standards. If he's that hurt, he doesn't belong on the field. And if he's that bad, he doesn't belong in the NFL.
"I need to play better. I need to get healthy, No. 1," Williams said. "I can say this, and you can take it however you want to take it. It really don't matter to me. I don't care what you think."
It's better that way because I think Williams, through six games this season, has been the biggest waste of money since the Bills drafted offensive tackle Mike Williams. Williams isn't even the best Williams on the roster, although Kyle Williams also needs to play better if the Bills are going anywhere.
Buffalo intended to upgrade its punting when it waived reliable veteran Brian Moorman, but rookie Shawn Powell's weekly shank helped give the Titans better field position and enough hope in the fourth quarter. The Bills had every intention of slowing down Chris Johnson and watched him run wild in the first half en route to 195 yards rushing.
If the Bills intend to crawl into the same hemisphere as the playoffs, if Chan Gailey intends to remain the head coach for the foreseeable future and Dave Wannstedt intends to remain the defensive coordinator, their players need to start putting up some results. Based on the first seven games, their intention of making the playoffs is a fantasy.
Let's face the facts, folks. Buffalo entered the game with a 3-3 record while masquerading as a .500 team. The overtime win over Arizona wasn't a sign of them turning around the season, as they wanted you to believe. It was a brief interruption. Tennessee had the worst running game in the NFL but turned into New England and San Francisco against Buffalo.
"It's embarrassing," said defensive end Chris Kelsay, who is well-versed in explaining away losses in Buffalo. "Our offense came out and scored some points, definitely enough to win the ballgame. We got gashed. We didn't tackle. We just weren't accountable to each other on defense."
In the first half Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium, the Bills stayed true to form. Johnson was held to fewer than 25 yards four times in six games this year, but he had 103 yards in the first quarter and 139 before halftime. He popped free for an 83-yard touchdown run, untouched, for his second TD in the first quarter.
Take away the big play, which players do when rationalizing their shortcomings, and Johnson still had 112 yards on 17 carries, or 6.5 yards per clip. Feel better? The 11 men on the Bills' defense were the only people in the stadium who looked surprised when he ripped off 27 yards just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter.
"When you're not playing the defense that you're in properly, when you're not doing your job — whoever that may be, all of us — guys like that can hurt you and make plays," Kyle Williams said. "The guy goes 85 yards or whatever it was, untouched. It was as basic a counter-kick play as it gets. That happened a lot of times. That can't happen. That's ridiculous."
Johnson has 480 yards rushing and six TDs in three games against Buffalo. No wonder why the Bills admitted they were frightened of him last week. He took the ball to the 16-yard line. Four plays later, after safety George Wilson dropped an interception, Hasselbeck spotted inexperienced cornerback Justin Rogers in single coverage on Washington and made a good throw.
All this in a game in which the Bills' offense was effective against the Titans, who were equally terrible on defense. Ryan Fitzpatrick stayed within himself. He could have thrown a majority of passes with his left arm. Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller combined for 141 yards rushing and 14 catches for 81 yards.
Fitzpatrick's performance epitomized the Bills' season. If we're painting by numbers, the portrait looks like a Picasso. Fitz completed 27 of 35 passes for 225 yards and three touchdowns. The picture grows ugly when adding his latest gaffe, an atrocious pass intended for Donald Jones that fell short and was intercepted with 3:03 left.
It was one play, one among many in the game.
After the game, Fitzpatrick retreated to the stool in front of his locker and buried his head in his hands. Wilson stared into his stall, as if the answers were hanging up next to his pants. Rogers looked like he was near tears. A glance around the locker room revealed a team that lost, a team that looked lost.
Stevie Johnson couldn't help but laugh.
If he didn't, he might have cried.

Whether you are currently pursuing the woman of your dreams or you have been in a relationship for quite some time and you feel that the flame needs some rekindling, welcome. You have come to the right place. To get straight to the point, when it comes to women, there is one thing that you really need to keep in the forefront of your mind: paying attention to detail. Yes. You read that right – when it comes to the opposite sex, attention to detail is essential.
What exactly does this mean? Well, if you want to woo a woman or catch her attention, you will have to put in the work. This means being very attentive when it comes to her physical appearance, her emotional state, and her verbal and non-verbal cues. Be sure to constantly compliment her on her hair, her clothing, and her beauty.
Some of the most interesting an overlooked details you will want to look for are her "micro-expressions". These are split second facial expressions that women make that you can use to know exactly what they are thinking at any given moment. The science behind reading micro-expressions was developed a Dr. named Paul Eckman, but for our purposes the best tutorial on the phenomenon is a mini-course entitled "The Science Of Micro-Expressions" by seduction and dating expert Jon Sinn.
I addition look for clues by asking questions to the women you are trying to date or are already. Ask her how her day went. Inquire about her thoughts and opinions. Take her into your arms when she is feeling down. You might just be surprised at far how these seemingly small gestures will take you in your relationship. Chocolates, flowers and sweet notes won't hurt either every now and then. I promise, the rewards will definitely be worth it.
Lastly, remember that women are much more concerned with details than men are, so keep up on the little things that most guys overlook like trimming your finger nails regularly, wearing a nice smelling (but not over-powering) cologne, and keeping your clothes pressed and in good order. These things seem rather unimportant to most men, but when you are trying to win a woman's love, these things are definitely worth paying attention to!
They say that the dating world is just like the wild. You have to act like a predator or lose your chances. Whatever people say about dating, the truth is that everyone has a chance at getting what they want. Lots of men, no matter how tough they look, seem to lack some things whenever they face a woman they really desire. Nowadays there are actually whole guides on how to improve with women, like this one in this Unlock Her Legs review that make everything a lot easier. The trouble is that some guys just are to cheap or lazy to invest in themselves and to learn this important material.
I'm not sure why guys are so reluctant to educate themselves fully, but whatever the reason it is a shame. That being said sometimes it is best to start out by learning just a few simple concepts, so I have written a few for you below on what it takes for a man to get the woman of his dreams. Who knows, maybe these three tips that could help you start on your journey to find her.
Be confident. Confidence is a must. Excess or lack of it could be harmful to you. Know what you're good at and flaunt it. Know your areas for improvement and work on it. When you face someone, show that you're good for something. Stand up straight and speak clearly. Become the man that she'd want to meet with again and again. Show her what you're good at. Whether it's something nerdy or something brawny, don't be afraid to show a woman your stuff. Women like to feel secure and they will feel that when they see a man who knows his stuff.
Be secure. Speaking of security, women look for men who are sure of themselves. Then again, don't act too sure. The key to winging it in the dating game is to keep it in the happy middle. Don't exaggerate and don't underestimate. Whatever it is you have, be secure with it. Live with it. Women like seeing men who are very comfortable with themselves. This makes them feel that they can hang and share their thoughts with you. If you're in the dating game for the long run, be comfortable in your own skin.
Build yourself up. Confidence and security come from a place where you know that you've done well for yourself. Don't be afraid to improve yourself even in the little things. If people have been calling you out on your clothing choices, do yourself a favor and find clothes that suit you. Or if people have been noticing a quirk that keeps them from approaching you, do something about it. If you want to find a great girl, be a great guy. Take a chance. Maybe you'll also surprise yourself in the process.
With these tips, you're well on the way to becoming an eligible bachelor. Be proud and be your better self.
What a lot of guys fail to realize is that picking up younger women is actually pretty simple. As an older guy, you've got a lot going for you that younger guys don't have.
Namely, you've got experience, a career, and the confidence and monetary resources that go along with that. These are very valuable assets in the eyes of any woman. It's no secret that women mature faster than men. Therefore, when you run into a woman who happens to be twenty-one, you can be damn sure she's sick of hanging out with broke, buffoonish frat boys who still act like they're fifteen and enjoy hanging with their bros more than the company of a sexy young lady.
So, what does all this mean for you? Well, for starters, it means that if you understand these things, you will pick up on the fact that a woman of that age is craving for a mature man who can treat her right, take her to nice places, engage in some thoughtful conversation, and most importantly teach her things in the bedroom most young guys simply can't. On that last point, let's be real here, most guys in their early twenties have no idea how to please a woman. It isn't until you get older and gain some experience that you really now how to be a good lover.
Anyway, let's get down to some details on this. For starters, you need to use your age and position in life as an asset, not something to be embarrassed about. One of the major reasons why the idea of an older man appeals to a younger woman is that he is ostensibly confident in his position in life. So, if you realize that, you've almost won the battle! In sum, you need to approach a younger women with the knowledge that your years of experience and the confidence that comes with that shines through. When you combine that with the fact that you have the means to wine and dine the object of your desire, you're absolutely golden. Let's face it, most guys in their early twenties can barely afford to take their date out to the local bar.
Of course there are some guys like the author of this article on dating younger women who will tell you its a bad idea… Here's my take on these guys: they can't date younger women and therefore they don't want anybody else to either. It's sad, but some married men are so miserable in their relationships that they have nothing better to do than to try to persuade their fellow men from enjoying themselves. Whatever you do, don't listen to these guys, they probably couldn't date women in their 20s even when they were in their 20s, and don't listen to women over 30 who may try to advise you on this subject either, for reasons that should be obvious.
In the end, if you remember these facts and use them to your advantage, you're going to be pleased with the results indeed!
