|The Breslin
I think by now, most people have assumed I'm a NYC based blogger or just really love the Big Apple. While I'd love to be living in NYC, the latter is more appropriate at this time. The city itself, the nightlife, the cocktail bars, and of course, the food scene here is truly out of this world. During my trips to NYC in the past few years, I've rarely had an average meal. Well.....probably except for just one.
|April Bloomfield Running the Line
The brunch at The Breslin came about after the failed dinner attempt at The Spotted Pig a few nights prior, and after hearing many great things about Chef Bloomfield, I knew I had to try The Breslin.
|Pumpkin Pancakes with Spiced Chili Pecan Butter
The pancakes were fine, but I wasn't feeling the Chili Pecan Butter. Next!
|Fried Peanut and Banana Sandwich with Bourbon and Vanilla
This was one thing I didn't try, but from what I remembered, the person that ordered it wasn't in love with the dish either.
|Chargrilled Skirt Steak with Green Sauce and Fried Eggs
This was probably my favorite dish of the meal. Though it would have to be a total fail for them to make me hate steak and eggs. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and remained juicy and tender. The eggs were cooked perfectly over easy.
|Warm Smoked Salmon with Bacon, Chives, and Garlic Butter Sauce
While I thought this was a good dish, it really wasn't anything special. I was hoping the garlic butter sauce would add something to the smoked salmon. It really didn't do it for me.
|Chargrilled Lamb Burger w/Cumin Mayo and Thrice Cooked Chips
Now, to the MAIN reason I think most of us came to The Breslin,the lamb burger. I have to say I'm a burger fan. From the time I was 4 years old eating my Happy Meals from McDonald's in the mean streets of Taipei, to trying some of those "hood" burgers in the streets of Inglewood and Compton (Which BTW, are fantastic! Heart attack inducing yes, but fucking fantastic nevertheless), there's really nothing better than a juicy burger cooked medium rare. Now, I hope I came on an off day or something, because the lamb burger just wasn't very good. None of us really cared for it. The lamb patty was fairly dry and bland. Sadly, the thrice cooked chips were the best thing on the plate.
|House Made Sausages
|House Cured Bacon
|Bean in Pork Fat
Above were three of the sides ordered. The sides themselves were fine. Standard meaty goodness, though again, it wasn't anything special enough I had to come back and eat again.
While I might be harsh in my review, my meal at The Breslin was easily the most disappointing to date during my trips to New York City. While I haven't tried the regular lunch or dinner menu at The Breslin, with all the fine dining establishments in the Big Apple, I'd be lying if I said I'm planning to go back and try it again. After the initial disappointment of not making it to Spotted Pig, maybe it was actually a blessing in disguise.

The Legislature is considering allowing the Hawaii Health Systems Corp. to have its hospitals privatize in the hopes of reducing deficits in running the public hospitals, including Maui Memorial Medical Center. Are you:
Maybe the Legislature should take a look at the mismanagement of funds that have occurred under the present leadership at MMMC. Millions wasted on pet projects and unnessecary consultants that have had no benefit. Continual creations of new management positions for friends that serve no purpose and failure to utilize what's already in place wastes hundreds of thousands each month. We can only hope a parternship will curb the corruption!
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I would like to read the legislation first, but from what I've read about the situation so far it seems like we don't really have a choice in the matter. Unless employees are willing to take a major pay and benefits cut, where is the money going to come from?

Remote community receives medical aid from volunteers
14 November 2005
by Karen Blakeman
Honolulu, USA: On the remote island-state of Kosrae, a tiny dot on the extreme eastern edge of the Federated States of Micronesia, medical care for women is basic.
"They have a doctor there who looks after the women's health," said Dr. James B. MacMillan III, a retired gynaecologist and adjunct faculty member at the John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawai'i (UH), USA. "But there isn't a specialist in gynaecology or obstetrics, and there isn't any gynecological surgical care there at all."
So MacMillan and the medical school put together a team of surgeons and nurses who volunteered to help out for 10 days, and Hawaii hospitals came through with donations of medical equipment. UH helped pay for the medical team's accommodations on the 42-square-mile island (or 110,000 squared metres), and Continental Micronesia Airlines provided transportation for the team and their equipment.
"Everyone just opened up and helped out," MacMillan said.
An advance team arrived on Kosrae a week ago and began examining women.
With a diabetes rate of 40 percent for adults over the age of 35 in Micronesia, MacMillan said, the advance team — Dr. Nicholas Fogelson of the medical school and a nurse practitioner who did not want to be identified — expected to find gynaecological problems among the 8,000 residents of Kosrae. Their expectations were met.
"They've found pelvic masses, ovarian cysts, tumors and a whole host of other things," MacMillan said.
MacMillan, Dr. Reni Soon, also from the medical school, and nurses James Michael Meyer, Sharon Parson Hee and Marivic Aquino Jackson, flew out yesterday to join the advance team.
They'll attend to the women in most immediate need of surgical care. They won't get to everyone.
The advance team examined 100 women who need surgery, MacMillan said. He figures the team will be able do at least 20, possibly as many as 30 operations during their 10-day stay on Kosrae.
"They only have one operating room in the hospital," MacMillan said, "so we'll be doing one case at a time. If they have emergencies, we'll have to hold back on our cases and see if we can help them with the emergency cases."
Kosrae doesn't have a blood bank. MacMillan said that necessitates the use of what he called a walking blood bank.
"At least two people will sit outside the operating room who've been cross-matched to donate blood, if needed," he said. Kosraens are accustomed to the system, he said.
"Everyone knows if you need surgery, you've got to have two family members cross-matched to give blood," he said. "It's fresh, whole blood with all the clotting factors and it works fine."
MacMillan said the team hopes to return to Kosrae after the mission is over.
"If we're invited back we'll probably go once a year for at least five years," he said, "because there is at least that much of a backlog of surgeries to do."

Difference Made in New York by Nurse Leadership Board Member
On June 1, 2011 Kena Miller, RN, MSN, FNP at Roswell Park Cancer Institute and member of the IMF Nurse Leadership Board traveled to Albany, New York to meet with multiple state Senators and Representatives on behalf of oral chemotherapy access legislation.
The bill, S.3988 / A.6233, would require health insurers to cover oral anticancer medications on a basis no less favorable than intravenous or injected anticancer medications.
Kena participated in ten meetings where she emphasized the importance of the passage of the bill for her patients. She informed each member that myeloma patients have a limited number of effective therapies available as is. By not covering oral chemotherapy at the same rate as IV chemotherapy, patients are left with even fewer options.
In each meeting, Kena explained how detrimental the current insurance system is for myeloma patients and urged each member to support and vote in favor of S.3988 / A.6233.
We are happy to report that the bill has been placed on the Governor's desk for signing!
The IMF Nurse Leadership Board (NLB) is made up of nurses from the leading centers treating myeloma patients in the US. Their mission is to develop broad recommendations for nursing care for myeloma patients.
Congratulations and THANK YOU to Kena for being the August Advocate of the Month!
If you are not yet an IMF advocate, please sign up here.

Ali D tryin' to upgrade his Thread of the Day badge, I see how it is. ;)
I loved the video, and I love the fact that Ubisoft is coming out of the gate with a mature rated, survival horror game. But what really sold me on this game is what I read from the press release:
This fear-fueled first-person shooter takes all the terror, chaos and tension found in the best of the horror genre and adds original interactive elements, including a unique death mechanic that puts players in the body of a different survivor each time they die, allowing them to track and take down their old, infected characters, recover their equipment and see if they can stay alive just a little bit longer this time.
I can't wait to get turned in to a zombie, then come back as a random survivor and then hunt down my old self (now a zombie), shoot my old self in the head and take my shit back.
The Wii-U can't get here fast enough!
It looked really, really cool until I saw the name. At that point I understood what direction they are heading with it. I feel like this is going to be Dead Island all over again.
ZombiU.. what a terrible fucking name:lol:
The game looks fun, but the implementation of the gamepad worries me. Having to constantly look down at it/hold it up to the screen while zombies be bitin' yo shit just seems like a terrible idea.
I don't understand why no one complains about the exact same feature in the ds, but it's a massive problem for the wii u.
What feature, the extra screen? The one that's immediately below the other screen, both of which are in your hands, that you're looking at the entire time you're playing the DS?
Looking down at your hands isn't hard.
I am buying this game for sure, can't wait!!!!! I just wish I could seem some more trailers, of the game, and some actual gameplay footage. :P
On the gametrailers stream, they mentioned it's survival horror with permadeath and roguelike element's in that each character you have gets skills and you lose them upon death. Items you collect on one guy can be found later on another survivor if you happen to die.
Is it open world then?
This does look like one of the best things Wii U has right now. I am wondering how the multiplayer will be like, though (it's ubisoft and a zombie game, there will be multiplayer).
I see your point. Good show chap.
I see ZP did all my work for me.
"The game looks fun, but the implementation of the gamepad worries me. Having to constantly look down at it/hold it up to the screen while zombies be bitin' yo shit just seems like a terrible idea."
Part of that is intended by the developers and as I said, it's not hard to look down.
Game looks AMAZING!!!! Though, I am a little disappointed in the graphics, and am worried about how many zombies will be available on screen at once. Thankfully, I do not care TO much about graphics, and am greatly looking forward to this game. Thanks for the video link. :P
I think having to look down or to use the touch pad on the controller adds a level of stress, which I want to believe was intended by the developers. In all of the videos so far when you go to the touch screen to do anything you are in a stressful moment, having to dig through your survival pack seems to add a new level of tension.
Maybe I'm reading waaaay too much in to all of this. Personally, I like the direction this game is taking and will definitely be picking it up day one.

Runners and walkers from all over the Lowcountry will gather together April 13 to participate in the fourth annual Run for Adela 5K presented by Fleet Landing Restaurant.
This is the only official 5K in Charleston held on the Sullivan's Island beach.
The race is in memory of Adela Holmes Cook, an 18-year-old Charleston native who passed away in 2009 from injuries sustained in a golf cart accident while on vacation in the Bahamas.
Last year's race was supported by more than 900 registrants of all ages. Since the inaugural race in 2010, this annual event has raised more than $145,000 for the Adela Holmes Cook Foundation benefitting Camp Happy Days, a non-profit organization that provides a carefree environment for kids and teens battling cancer.
Proceeds from this year's race will specifically fund the third annual Camp Happy Days' Extreme Teen Water Weekend on Wadmalaw Island as well as efforts supported by Charleston Waterkeeper, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the public's right to swimmable, drinkable, fishable water.
The Extreme Teen Water Weekend will feature watersports, boating, fishing and fellowship among teens with cancer. The Run for Adela 5K is symbolic of Adela's passion for spending time outdoors in her cherished hometown.
The race will start and finish at Station 16 and will begin at 8 a.m. Prizes will include bicycles, a weekend getaway at Wild Dunes Resort and gift certificates to restaurants, spas and other local businesses.
For more information, please visit the official Run for Adela 5K website at www.runforadela.com.

on October 6, 2012 - 12:16 AM
The sight was undeniably odd.
Former Buffalo Bills punter Brian Moorman was addressing a group of attentive seventh-graders at Orchard Park Middle School on Friday – in his white No. 2 Dallas Cowboys jersey.
"Things in life don't always go the way you think they're going to go," Moorman told the crowd, "… it's how you respond to them that builds your character."
While Moorman was making a larger point to his audience, the words rang particularly true for him. It's been 11 days since the Bills released Moorman, who had spent the previous 11 years with the team.
"They just wanted to go in another direction, and I respect them for that. That's fine," Moorman said about the Bills' decision. "I think they've been trying to do that for a while, and I'm proud that I made it hard on them. Do I agree with it? No. Who would?"
It didn't take Moorman long to land on his feet. He was signed by the Cowboys the day after being cut.
"The organization's great. I love the coaches. I love what they're doing. I'm really enjoying it," he said. "I'm falling in love with the game again. I love going to work. It's just a nice change and I look forward to the future."
There has been a lot of speculation about the reason for Moorman's release, most of it centering on a perceived rift with special teams coach Bruce DeHaven.
Moorman took the high road on that, saying simply that the two haven't spoken.
"I'm proud to have been part of this organization for a long time. I thank Mr. Wilson for all the time that he's given me here," Moorman said. "I've had some great coaches over the years and I've still got great relationships with them. I know that will parlay into more opportunities, because they know the kind of player I am."
Moorman made his Dallas debut on Monday Night Football. He punted three times for an average of 37 yards, with two of those kicks being downed at the opponent's 6-yard line.
"I'll take the positive of the fact that I know I haven't lost anything in my ability to play," he said. "What I've lost is the chance to finish my career here as a Buffalo Bill, which was always the goal. But I'm going to make a positive out of a negative, and try to be a positive influence on people that maybe need that. I'm not going to look back at it and try to create waves or anything like that."
Moorman was in town during the Cowboys' bye week. He visited the school to honor four students – Claire Pawlak, Zoe Evans, Abbey McDonnell and Brooke Pohlman – for raising $5,000 for Camp Good Days and Carly's Club, and another $1,000 for Moorman's P.U.N.T. Foundation, which provides support to families fighting pediatric cancer.
Moorman's foundation will continue in Western New York despite his release.
"I didn't ever think I'd be wearing a Cowboys jersey when I came to speak to them. We had talked about setting this up before any of that happened," he said. "I intended to come up here and speak as a Buffalo Bill and now I'm speaking as a Dallas Cowboy. Whether I'm there two weeks or the rest of the season, I don't know, but that's life. I've decided that I'm going to respond to this in a positive way. I'm trying not to look back."
The Cowboys' regular punter, Chris Jones, missed the last game because of a sprained left knee, but is hoping to return after the bye week.
"I don't know what the future holds there. Obviously I'm just kind of filling in right now," Moorman said. "I don't know what the injury situation is with their guy, but I'm glad for the opportunity and glad to be there."
He made clear, however, how much Buffalo means to him.
"I still have a lot of friends in that locker room that I want to see succeed. The support I had from my teammates, I can't really express how important that was to me. The fans, they're amazing," he said. "I can't tell you how much I appreciate the people of Buffalo and the Buffalo Bills fans throughout the country. It's been a difficult week because it was unexpected, but I've got the best fans you could ever have. Teammates, family, friends, they all made it easier."

Animal Class:
Status in the Wild:
Cheetahs are the world's fastest land animal and are capable of reaching speeds of 70 miles per hour. They can reach top speed in only three seconds! Cheetahs can cover 22 feet in a stride. Only one foot touches the ground at a time, and at two points in the stride, no feet touch the ground.
After a chase, cheetahs need about 30 minutes to catch their breath before they can eat.
Once a common animal found on four continents, cheetahs are now facing extinction. Habitat loss and a reduction in prey are threatening the cheetah's survival.

I was taught to knit by my mother in my teens in the '70's and I quickly went from that to cross stitch and then needlepoint.
Life goes on to a full time job, marriage, a child and then in early in 2004, I was forced to stay off my feet. I pick up the needles and started with knitting a scarf and then another, and then another! Next thing I know, I have 50 of them!
Off to a local art gallery I go to peddle my wares! They loved and sold them all! Creative Design was born! Three upscale children's boutiques and women's wear shops later, here I am! Fingers flyin' with an Etsy shop sheilalikestoknit and lovin' Craftsy!
I can most often be found in "my chair" surrounded by a pile of yarn, fabric, more yarn, needles, another pile of yarn, patterns, more fabric...etc! We love to travel, eat good food, be with family and great friends!
Knitwear: my handmade knitwear is lovingly created by me! The process of choosing great fabric and yarn colors is half the fun! Knitting it all up and seeing it come together is wonderful and the final moment of seeing this creation around someones neck, on a little body, noggin or in their stroller is the BEST! I have been lucky enough to receive wonderful photos and I keep them ALL!
My Philosophy: I am committed to quality fabric and fiber. Attention to detail, craftsmanship and customer satisfaction will always be part of that philosophy.
Gorgeous in technicolor! You can easily get 4 or more blankets out of all this yarn. Now THAT'S good use of your money and all this yardage.
It measures 28" W x 45" L (71cm x 114cm)
Looks like a lovely linen blanket! Crochet some booties and hat to match!
This is an easy pattern and perfect for the newbie crocheter who is ready to go from scarves to something only slightly more challenging. I am always available to help you with any questions.

first day of school, unicorns and teeth falling out.
24 comments:
My 6 year old daughter does that whole staring in the mirror thing too. It drives me insane. :)ReplyDelete
I'm 20 and still stare in the mirror sometimes and just think...I swear it's because I get bored of my own face so fast that my mind has to wander! Working on this...congrats to Caedmon losing his tooth! Hope the toothfairy brought him something wonderful :)ReplyDelete
My neice is like that about her teeth falling out. I love to snatch the little things, but she never lets me. Your babies look too cute and ready for their first day. Hope it was great!ReplyDelete
Love the dramatic...we encounter that on a daily basis here. I'm waiting on the edge of my seat for your magic "get everyone out the door on time and happy" formula.ReplyDelete
My 3 year old has an imagination like that.. it's too cute, but sometimes a little scary... lol!ReplyDelete
love you first day of school pics and the fun stories. i read them while sipping my morning coffee:)ReplyDelete
the thought of getting that many kids ready for school and then having even more left at home.... girl, it makes me nervous. You need a cape!!! (and gold wrist bands and red go-go boots-tell me you're not too young to know wonder-woman?!)ReplyDelete
~mom of 1
(pickebut is my word verification-haha! guess who is 7?)
Best first day of school EVER.ReplyDelete

Such cute first day photos! Thank you for sharing. Our only child is 3 right now and we are doing some preschool at home. I can't wait to take 1st day photos too :)ReplyDelete
LaVonne @ Long Wait For Isabella
What an awesome 1st day of school story. I just love your blog. It brings a smile to my face every time.ReplyDelete
My daughter sounds like Hadley...LOVE the imagination, but not when we're trying to get out of the house!!! I have to tell her to do things so many times i feel like a broken record!! Great pics!ReplyDelete
My kids try not to tell me a tooth is loose because I try to yank it right out...limit the drama, right? Hope the rest of the day goes smoothly. My 1st day of school (yesterday) was a circus. I blame the 3 little ones :)ReplyDelete
my little guy found his FIRST loose tooth last night...on my birthday. can't say it didn't make me just a litttttle sad :(ReplyDelete
ha, ha, this post totally made me laugh. hadley and my ella must be hanging out in the same little world. ella's first day of 1st grade is this thursday and i am not looking forward to telling her to do everything 15 times...seriously.ReplyDelete
ah, your little guys are so cute.
Can I just say how much I love you for being a real flustered angry with slow kids mom?! I think our little girls are the same person. Seriously...I asked her this morning how many times it would take me asking her to take her plate up and get her teeth brushed before she actually did it. That just made her mad. And now Im 'sooo meeeeaaaan-a!" Oy!ReplyDelete
Cute pictures. Good idea to take them at the beginning and end of the year.ReplyDelete
My little second grade daughter is the same way. She is always in her own little dream world.ReplyDelete
great idea about labeling the pictures. Would be super cute in frames as well!ReplyDelete
I wish Hadley was in my kindergarten class! She is precious!ReplyDelete
I love this whole post... and I love seeing other kid's first day of school pictures, makes me excited to take my own kid's pictures. Starting in 3 years.ReplyDelete
Have you read "Parenting with Love and Logic" by Cline & Fay? It takes getting on your kid's case to a very different place. A place where you aren't doing it anymore! I've used a few of their tactics on my toddler and it has worked wonders - the book is mainly for school age kids though. They are Christian, but don't overdo it.
As if you had time to read! ;-)
What a day for milestones!! Glad the camera made it along for the ride!ReplyDelete
I'm thinking about having my kids hold something, like a chalkboard, with the info written on it. That way, I'll know not only which grade, but which kid! :)ReplyDelete
Where is Elsa's first day picture??ReplyDelete

With the start of fall training camp under way for the second season of Stetson football, head coach Roger Hughes has announced the two final additions to his coaching staff.
Jacob Behrns comes to Stetson from Wayne State College in Nebraska and will coach the Hatters' tight ends. Jacob Iodence comes to Stetson from Northern Arizona and will work with the defensive backs.
"Obviously this is not the ideal time of year to be filling positions on the staff, but I am excited to have added two quality young coaches," head coach Roger Hughes said. "These guys have brought a lot of enthusiasm to practice already and I expect they will continue to provide a boost of energy."
Both Behrns, who is the cousin of the Hatters' Director of Football Operations Nolan Behrns, and Iodence will be part-time members of the coaching staff. They replace Eric Kornhauser and Patrick Saporito, who both left the program for other opportunities.
Behrns holds degrees from both the Arizona Culinary Institute and Wayne State, where he earned a Bachelor's in Sport Management in May. He started his career as a student coach at Nebraska-Omaha while also working as the team video coordinator.
He worked as an assistant camp director at Wayne State before becoming tight ends coach there in 2011. He moved to coach running backs in 2013, all while serving as team video coordinator.
Iodence earned his Bachelor's (2012) and Master's (2014) degrees from Chadron State College in Nebraska. He started his college football career as a player at Iowa Central Community College before moving on to Chadron State.
While working on his Master's degree, Iodence was a graduate assistant coach, working with the running backs while serving as assistant video coordinator and football operations assistant.
He moved on to Northern Arizona where he worked with the Lumberjacks' quarterbacks and assisted with football operations.
Behrns and Iodence run the total of coaching staff changes for the Hatters to five this year. Other newcomers on the staff are Tim Holt (OL), Matt Diniak (TE) and Charles Huff (DL).
Practices continue this week with sessions on Monday and Tuesday at 7 p.m. and Wednesday at 2 p.m. prior to the first of three scheduled two-a-days on Thursday. All practice sessions are open to the public.
The Hatters travel to face Warner University in Lakeland on August 30 in the 2014 season-opener. The home-opener is scheduled for the following week, against Florida Tech, at 7 p.m. on Sept. 6.
Season tickets for Stetson's six home games at Spec Martin Memorial Stadium, "The Best Little Stadium in College Football", are available for as little as $90 through the Stetson Athletics Ticket Office. The office is located inside the Edmunds Center on Pennsylvania Avenue and is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
Season tickets can also be purchased by calling 386-738-HATS (4287) or by visiting www.GoHatters.com/tix.

I am from Egypt, Cairo my wife suffers from 2 years ago with a multiple myeloma and had a chem o therapy with somthing called (vad)at Nasser Institute Hospital and after she made an operation to cultivate new boan marrow (AUTO) boan marrow and after that she had the thalidomide for one year as it was decided from her doctor as a precaution but after 11 months she relapced with the same disease with 80% myeloma and had another time the chem o therapy with somthing called (VCEP) for 4 times and every time takes 4 days continuous and then she will evaluate the case if there is a response for the new medicine or not if not she will have the 5th and the 6th so please advise me if there is something special I follow for our life or some kind of food and what is the end of this dramatic story because doctors are hiding some thing and does't want to tell the truth
Can you provide me with an email address so someone can contact you directly? You can either reply to me in a comment or email me at email@example.com. Thanks!
Thank you for your comments. As referenced in our Patient Handbook...although there is currently no cure for myeloma, it is an eminently treatable disease. Many patients go on to lead full and productive lives for years, even decades, after diagnosis. With increasing research, the overall outlook for patients is improving steadily. Knowing more about the disease, and understanding what can be done to help, reduces anxieties and makes it easier to come to terms with the diagnosis.
It would be helpful to understand your wifeâs situation better; could you please send your email address and we can converse in more detail.
We have names of doctors around the world, who work with multiple myeloma as their main focus and seeing a myeloma specialist for a second opinion or consult can be very valuable.
As far as diet and general health, please see nurses blog April 4, 2012 as well as the National Cancer Institute's booklets, links to which are on our web site under the understanding myeloma tab /publications. These will give you information on a healthy diet and good nutrition - overall and for patients with myeloma.

Zak Herman was pretty sure he was going to lose his opening bout at the Top Hat on Friday night, but not because he didn't believe in his abilities as a wrestler.
The Jersey Shore senior was wrestling his first match since the 2011 District 4 tournament. He knew he wasn't quite in wrestling shape. And on top of everything, his first-round opponent was Tri-Valley's Hunter Harner, a returning Class AA state qualifier.
So yeah, Herman had the deck stacked against him.

And he still won.
Herman was one of 15 local wrestlers to move on to this morning's semifinals after Friday night's season-opening first night of wrestling. Herman was also one of two wrestlers to knock off a returning state qualifier in the first round.
Herman is joined in the semifinals by teammates Noah Ulmer (106 pounds) and Colton Killion (126), as well as Muncy's Angelo Barberio (106), Troy Hembury (182) and Skylar Ebner (195), Williamsport's Roshaun Cooley (113), South Williamsport's Andrew Gipe (126) and Justin Knee (170), Hughesville's Kyle Barnes (152), and Central Mountain's Cole Hanley (138), Chad Reese (152), Gavin Caprio (160), Blaze Buckwalter (195) and Caleb Stover (285).
After the first three rounds of wrestling, Central Columbia led the team standings with 86.5 points. Central Mountain, the defending champion, is tied for third with Penfield (N.Y.) with 70 points. Jersey Shore is tied for fifth.
"I was nervous. I didn't think I was going to win," Herman said after beating Titusville's Easton Hogue with a fall in the quarterfinals. "When I did, I was relieved, but I couldn't breathe for like the last two minutes because I was so winded. But it was a good match."
Herman beat Harner in the first round, 15-10. It's the same Harner who went 1-2 at 126 pounds in the PIAA Class AA tournament as a freshman last year. Those two losses came to Warrior Run's Jared Watson and former PIAA champion Arty Walsh of Schuylkill Valley.
Herman said he was able to tire out Harner but riding tough on top with legs. It was his goal to try and tire out his opponents last night, because he's well aware that he's not in the same kind of wrestling shape he was when he was a District 4 third-place finisher in 2011.
"I got tired and couldn't go all out (on offense) even thought I tried," Herman said. "When I recovered, I went all out as much as I could. Making them tired before I get tired is what helps me out the most."
The 145-pounder missed Jersey Shore's run to the PIAA Duals tournament a year ago when he decided to sit out the season. He definitely would have been a key contributor to a team that made its first-ever appearance in Hershey for the team tournament. He was coming off a 12-10 season as a sophomore which included a sixth-place finish at the 2010 Top Hat tournament.
Herman said he didn't like the atmosphere around the team last year, and although it was frustrating to miss out on one of the most successful seasons in recent memory for the Bulldogs, he doesn't regret sitting out.
"It just didn't feel right. It wasn't a family. It wasn't a team," Herman said. "I didn't want to be a part of it, so I took the year off. Now that I cam back, everything is different and is awesome. It definitely made my passion come back for the sport."
While he's regained his passion, he's still off on his timing, he said. It clearly didn't show last night.
He came into the tournament thinking he could probably repeat his performance from 2010 and finish fifth or sixth. Last night's results made him rethink his goals. He'll face Schuylkill Valley's Zach Homan in the semifinals this morning. Homan is coming off a 12-13 season and did not wrestle at the Top Hat a year ago.
Should Herman win, he would either face Line Mountain state seventh-place finisher Seth Lansberry, who picked up his 100th career win last night, or Central Columbia's Aaron Johnson, a District 4 sixth-place finisher a year ago.
"I'm hoping for first or second now," Herman said. "It's amazing how fast things change. I'm loving it right now."

This is a hard, aggressive, industrial piece of music, which can be used in any commercial or maybe in any industrial-style catwalk. A bright aggressive dotted synthesizer open this piece with a clear theme and then falls into the impetuous "dirty", hard, industrial beat.

EAST PALESTINE - It couldn't stand upright any longer. Thursday afternoon an aging Ohio Edison utility pole began a slow descent toward the road, the result of rust and gravity.
Council clerk and village administrative assistant Misti Martin said the pole in front of the administrative offices on North Market Street began leaning toward the road around 2:30 p.m.
The incident is somewhat ironic considering Village Manager Pete Monteleone had already scheduled a meeting with Ohio Edison for this morning to discuss the possibility of having poles on that street replaced.

A utility pole leans over North Market Street in East Palestine.
The meeting was scheduled weeks ago and Monteleone said the pole's falling has only furthered the village's argument the poles are aged.
"I feel we really need poles and this proves it," he said.
The pole didn't actually fall on the road but was leaning over far enough that village workers closed a segment of the road to traffic to prevent any accidents. Ohio Edison was notified and responded to address the problem.
The road was closed for several hours while crews removed the pole completely. Police Chief Kevin Dickey said he wasn't sure when it was going to be replaced.
Dickey was at the scene helping with the road closure, along with Water and Wastewater Superintendent John Jurjavcic.
Monteleone said to his knowledge power was not out in that area as a result of the pole's falling. No outages were reported on the Ohio Edison website.
Monteleone, Councilman Don Elzer and Mayor Margo Zuch said the Ohio Edison poles on North Market -and specifically that pole - are all significantly rusted at the base.
Monteleone witnessed the pole fall toward the street and said the base "snapped" because of the rust. He also said he met with a company representative a little more than a month ago to discuss the possibility of having the poles on North Market replaced because of their condition. The meeting today was to again go over that request.
Elzer and Zuch recalled that at one point the village had asked the company if banners or pendants could be placed on poles around town but they were advised it wasn't safe since the bases couldn't handle the additional weight.
The village is requesting about 45 to 50 poles from the area of Dairy Queen to the public library be replaced.

Dawn Hochsprung, the principal killed Friday in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., was dedicated not only to the education of her students, but also to their physical well-being, according to her cousin, a University at Buffalo official.
Melanie Buhrmaster-Bunch, assistant vice president for the UB Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations, said that Hochsprung, though diminutive, was tenacious about sparing her students from harm.
"When I heard about her going to confront the gunman who forced his way into her school, I was not surprised. She would do anything to protect her students," Buhrmaster-Bunch said Monday in a telephone interview from Connecticut, where she traveled to mourn with family.
"My only hope is that [the gunman] had a little bit of fear in his eyes knowing that this 5-foot, 2-inch raging bull was coming at him," Buhrmaster-Bunch told The Buffalo News.
This image of Hochsprung as a hero provides some comfort to Buhrmaster-Bunch in the midst of a devastating tragedy. She described her relationship with Hochsprung as very close.
"She was my cousin, but she was probably more like a sister to me," Buhrmaster-Bunch said.
"Thank goodness I got to go home for Thanksgiving to see her," she said.
The cousins spent some of their formative years together in Broadalbin, N.Y., a family hub northwest of Albany where their mothers - who are sisters - grew up.
"You know that one person in your life that you've known forever, and you kind of automatically revert back to your 10-year-old self when you're around them? She was that person for me," said Buhrmaster-Bunch.
She said Hochsprung traveled to Buffalo 12 years ago to participate in her wedding.
"I think that, for the most part, I'm still in shock that something like this could happen," Buhrmaster-Bunch said of the massacre.
"There is a hole in my heart that will never be filled."
The shooting took not only the life of Hochsprung, but also the lives of 20 Sandy Hook Elementary School students, five staff members, the assailant's mother and the shooter himself.
Hochsprung – who was married, with two daughters, three stepdaughters and four grandchildren – was "deeply devoted to the profession of teaching," said Buhrmaster-Bunch.
"My cousin loved what she did," she said. "She was pursuing her Ph.D. at Russell Sage, a teaching college in Troy, N.Y. She just started this September.
"Eventually, she wanted to become a superintendent or a higher-level administrator, but her dream was cut short by a coward."
Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly indicated where Dawn Hochsprung grew up.

0. phoneArena 29 Aug 2012, 09:37 posted on
Sony has unveiled one of its newest smartphones – the ICS-powered Xperia T, which seems to pack quite a punch. Specs-wise, the Xperia T is equipped with a large 4.6" HD BRAVIA display, which will obviously take advantage of the Mobile BRAVIA engine that enhances media for your viewing pleasure...

The Split from Ericsson was one of the beste decisions from Sony ever. Well done Sony.......Markus fromhttp://www.DSLundMobilfunk.de
6. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
Well in comparison to the LG Optimus G, it's not quad-core (using the next generation processors), it's not 2GB of ram, and the screen resolution isn't as high. Also it won't record 1080P with 60fps I assume?
Is it still a better phone? Or does Sony have other beasts to unleash?
11. sadaff (Posts: 12; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
Quad core from LG sounds good but obviously Sony updates their phones unlike LG so having a Quad core from LG is of no use!
18. redmd (Posts: 1268; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
with technology these days, you are likely to update your phone than it's OS. I think LG is the better phone.
24. Mittal (Posts: 493; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
Sony will probably price the T close to the G, timely updates is a trait respected, but that doesnt make it better than the G
It is one thing to say that the T offers enough power for most uses and that what addition G offers is of no practical use yet, but its not like slow updates make the G incompetent in front of T
Frankly, had the G been released by Samsung, it would have generated 100 times more excitement
32. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
Yea true, but I think with todays technology, software is actually more important for people, and more is possible with software updates, so timely updates are a pretty big deal.
41. Mittal (Posts: 493; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
guess yur right!
17. RamyRamz69 (Posts: 390; Member since: 12 Dec 2011)
It has a better camera, design, UI skin, screen(Whitemagic > Anything) and is Playstation certified. Not to mention that you cannot trust LG with updates.
And seriously, you won't notice the difference between S4 and S4Pro unless you're doing benchmarks or playing games that require Quad Core processors which are only found in Nividia Tegrazone.
20. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
I see, well I was really asking for more clarification, don't see the reason why people get mouse trigger happy clicking the thumbs down immediately lol.
I see what you mean, but even with that in mind, do you think Sony will release another one with the same specs as the LG one? Meaning a quad-core phone...
28. RamyRamz69 (Posts: 390; Member since: 12 Dec 2011)
Why release a quad core phone when you have Dual Core Krait...
And just fyi, the S4 Pro is an APQ chip and not an MSM, which means it's not as battery efficient as the normal S4.
33. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
Oh no....battery is my number 1 issue.
So Sony is the better choice then?

"Inspire and fulfill"
Perhaps Sony can start by giving proper answers to questions from potential customers instead of reading the prefab crap from a callcenter's screen.
Inspire... sure., Perhaps Sony can start by using this years OS in this years devices instead of last years OS in this years offerings. Or by implementing ALL the features of their featurephones (e.g. call recording, local USB syncing etc...)
Sony, here are a few tips to start inspiring.
1) USE the bloody devices yourselves BEFORE they go to shops. You can hand over some prototypes to the engineers whom actually develop the things so they can SEE the potential problems for themselves and rectify these before the full manufacturing process starts.
2) Subscribe to influencial sites to see how customers feel about the products. Sites like e.g. XDA-developpers, esato or even this site etc... are a good indicator to find out why a product fails or succeeds. READ the reviews and use the comments given by these ppl to IMPROVE the products instead of belittle the reviewers.
3) Don't dismiss the request for improvements or features (e.g. call recording, notification lights, memory expansion or even trivial things like the length of the supplied USB cable). You can find a lot of similar questions on the many user forums.
In fact it is a BAD sign if users need to hack/root/jailbreak a phone and create a small tool to implement feature that YOU should have included in the first place. Example given the "LG touch notification light" hack.
These tips are valid for ALL phone developpers.
Then perhaps we can finally get the devices that we WANT instead of the crap they THEY WANT US TO BUY!

4K Firmware Teaser
One more firmware teaser was released today. I'm eager to find out if it's real. A lot of folks have made up their mind that it isn't, I will wait another day. :)
I just wish that Canon would give us a new lens like it did last year this time with the 70-200 2.8 II. 24-70 IS. Now is the time. Just like last year and the year before and the year before. 2006 I think is when the rumors started circulating about this lens. It's so long overdue that it pains me to still have to talk about it not existing. That, and maybe I'll pick up the 24 tse I've been lusting over forever. Anyway, I have a feeling that 2011 is the year of Panasonic. GH2 drops in price someGF3 gets introducedfast constant aperture wide to tele zoom introducedultrawide pankake (12 mm)I buy a kit with wide pancake (or 7-14 zoom), 100-300, nokton or panasonic equivalent 25 mm, and fast constant ap. zoom. Do some serious travel photography.
BTW how can a camera produce 8 K or 16 K when the sensor is not able to produce that even in still? Is there none who get this, that it is a joke?
Its real but will do nothing for you practicly but only produce 4k resolution clips at 1GB per minute, offering sharpness of really good 720p... Enjoy!
Planet5D ExclusiveMitch at Planet5D has been given some "exclusive" information.
We've been given nothing to prove that this software is real yet, so we're posting this just as it was given to us – and we've been told that 11:11pm EST is still the time where the software will be released.

SorryIt turns out the 4K firmware was a bunch of rubbish.
As someone who has dealt with Canon's legal department, I can assure you they wouldn't pay out $6.50, let alone $650,000. If you're going to lie, at least make it believable.
I will never fall for such crap again unless I'm given the software/hack beforehand to test out.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Thermo Fisher Scientific has agreed to acquire Life Technologies for about $11.4 billion, plus assumption of the acquired company's $2.2 billion in debt, in a deal that resolves months of speculation about the future of the sequencing company.
The deal, approved by the boards of both companies, creates a powerhouse in biopharma lab instrumentation and supplies with combined revenues of $16.3 billion and about 50,000 employees. The workforce is expected to shrink over three years, when Thermo Fisher expects to cut $250 million in costs by combining global infrastructure with Life Tech, and another $25 million by combining the companies' commercial capabilities.
Thermo Fisher and Life Tech expect to cut $85 million in costs during the first full year of the deal, which is expected to close early in 2014.
"This is a story about two industry leaders joining forces to create an even stronger industry leader," Marc N. Casper, president and CEO of Thermo Fisher Scientific, told analysts this morning on a conference call to discuss the acquisition. "We've become a technology powerhouse because we're bringing together the leader in genomics with the leader in proteomics, with much broader offerings for customers in biopharma production, applied markets, and specialty diagnostics."
At $76 per share, the deal falls just above the $65 to $75 per-share range that analysts had speculated as the potential price of Life Tech for a buyer, and about 12% above Life Tech's closing price of $68 per share in Friday trading on NASDAQ. Life Tech share prices have jumped 25% since January, when the company acknowledged it hired consultants to conduct a strategic review.
That review concluded with Life Tech choosing Thermo Fisher over offers from Sigma-Aldrich and a private equity consortium consisting of Blackstone Group, Carlyle Group, KKR, and Temasek Holdings, Reuters reported yesterday.
Thermo Fisher said in a statement announcing the deal that it would generate "significant and immediate accretion" of 90 cents to $1 to adjusted earnings per share, which finished 2012 at a record $4.94, 19% above 2011, and Q4 2012 at a record $1.36, 14% above the year-ago quarter. For 2013, Thermo Fisher has offered adjusted EPS guidance to investors of between $5.32 and $5.46, or growth of 8% to 11% over 2012, not counting any future acquisitions or divestitures.
Life Tech finished 2012 with net income attributable to controlling interest of $430.9 million, up nearly 14% from $378.5 million in 2011, on revenues of about $3.8 billion, up 2% from 2011. The company's Q4 revenue of $998.90 million was 1.1% below the $1.01 billion recorded a year earlier.
Driving growth, Life Tech said at the time, was record sales of its next-generation Ion Torrent sequencers, especially its Ion PGM™ instruments and Ion Proton™ System, which in Q4 2012 racked up its highest-ever revenue quarter due to growing use in clinical research; as well as the research consumables and bioproduction businesses, partially offset by sales declines the company said it expected to see in its older line of SOLiD® sequencers and qPCR royalty revenue.
Life Tech will account for 23% of revenues for the combined company before any layoffs or restructuring of product lines takes place. The rest of combined revenues will consist of lab products and services (35%), analytical technologies (24%), and specialty diagnostics (18%).
Instruments and systems are among Life Tech offerings, along with reagents, technologies for bioproduction and forensics applications, and consumables for genomics and molecular and cell biology. Life Tech's consumables and services businesses account for 85% of its revenues being recurring—an attractive factor for Thermo Fisher, whose offerings include: analytical technologies such as mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography, and spectroscopy instruments; biomarkers and other specialty diagnostics; single-use bioprocess technologies; and laboratory products and services.
Thermo Fisher would add to its specialty or "applied" markets of food safety and environmental with Life Tech's forensics and animal health presence.
Consumables will account for 61% of revenue for the combined company, followed by instruments and equipment (27%) and services (12%).
Another attraction of the combined company, Casper said, is the opportunity to expand its presence in emerging markets. Asia-Pacific will account for 18% of revenues for the new Thermo Fisher, compared with North America (52%), Europe (26%), and the rest of the world (4%).
"This is an important growth driver for us, especially given increased demand for healthcare diagnostics. And Life Technologies strengthens our opportunities in these high-growth regions," Casper said.
Last year, high-growth Asia-Pacific markets accounted for 17% of total Thermo Fisher revenue, up from 15% in 2011, with China becoming the company's second largest revenue source by geography last year at more than $700 million.

WASHINGTON - It was a game of disputed deflections and odd bounces, with the puck behaving more like that oblong ball with the laces more commonly associated with Super Bowl Sunday. The strangest carom of all came on a simple dump-in that hit a stanchion along the glass and went into a net deserted by a befuddled goaltender.
The Pittsburgh Penguins weren't fazed by that bit of misfortune that tied the game in the second period, just as Washington Capitals couldn't take advantage of the stroke of luck. The third annual Super Bowl warm-up between the Eastern Conference rivals soon turned into a rout, with Chris Kunitz getting a hat trick in the visitors' 6-3 victory.
"I really like our team responding to that bad bounce that happened on the wall," Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma said. "Now it's 2-2 - and our team responded well with the penalty kill and getting some goals."
Kris Letang, Paul Martin and Matt Cooke also scored, Sidney Crosby had three assists, and Tomas Vokoun made 21 saves against his former team for the Penguins, who have won three straight and four of five to lead the Atlantic Division.
In a game that reflected both teams' fortunes so far in the lockout-shortened season, the Penguins had the luxury of spending the postgame talking about who actually should have received credit for their half-dozen goals.
Kunitz thought he scored four instead of three, saying he got his stick on the puck to redirect Martin's shot from the point in the first period. And Cooke was given a redirect goal on a shot from Deryk Engelland that seemed instead to hit Capitals defenseman Jeff Schultz.
"I didn't know they took the other one away from me," Kunitz said. "That's how it bounces. No one really cares around here. ... We're worried about the two points."
Then came the bizarre 80-footer from Capitals defenseman John Carlson, an obvious dump-in that Vokoun retreated behind the net to intercept. Vokoun then tripped trying to get back to the crease when he saw the puck take the unexpected change of direction along the glass.
Vokoun said he's allowed a similar goal only once before - about a dozen years ago in Chicago.
"I remember that game in Chicago. We lost," Vokoun said. "This one doesn't feel as bad."
The Penguins then had to kill off a penalty, but they took the lead for good when Letang and Kunitz beat Braden Holtby glove side 37 seconds apart.
Either way, the Capitals were on their heels.
"I think the biggest thing is just our mental game right now isn't strong enough," Holtby said. "We're playing a good team game. It's just those little breakdowns, and like myself on that third goal."
Washington coach Adam Oates disputed that, saying he didn't see a problem with his team's mental approach.
"We made a couple mistakes, but other than that, I thought we played a good, solid hockey game," Oates said. "Yeah, there's things we can do better, of course, and we'll address that."
Mike Green and Mike Ribeiro also scored for the Capitals, who have lost seven of nine to start the season under their new coach.
Two-time league MVP Alex Ovechkin, who said before the game that he was somewhat embarrassed to have only three points on the season, contributed a secondary assist on a third-period power-play goal with Washington trailing by three.

Top Definition
A movement based on the mutual respect of men and manhood and the understanding that it is the responsibility of men to show women a good time and treat them as special guests. Women who endorse the bro movment often understand their role as sexual creatures and take ownership of that status. The bro movement often obtains the hottest girls because of the secret understanding that men have the responsibility to respect women as sexual creatures and also the right to revel in it and women have the right to experience their sexuality. The modern bro movement has evolved to incorporate the addition of women as bros. Women will often times choose to "butch up" more akin to bro status rather than take on a more sexual "candy" role within a group.
Frat's can often be associated with the bro movement.
