Hunter homers Twins over Mets
Hunter homers Twins over Mets
NEW YORK -- If there is one thing that has hurt the Twins more than anything this season, it's been their inconsistency. One night, it's good pitching but a lack of clutch hitting. The next, it's plenty of hits but a less-than-solid night on the mound. And even nights of uncharacteristically poor defense have hindered the Twins this season. So after watching his club put together two straight games featuring strong pitching, offense and defense against a tough Mets club, including a 6-2 victory on Wednesday night, manager Ron Gardenhire couldn't have been more pleased.
"It was the whole package, and that's what we're looking for," Gardenhire said. "We're swinging the bats better, stealing some bases and getting hit-and-runs. It's a good feeling. You can tell guys are into it." Another strong offensive performance was key, but the big storyline heading into Wednesday's game was starter Scott Baker. With Baker coming off four straight subpar performances, the question had been raised as to whether Matt Garza might be called up from Triple-A Rochester to replace him. Gardenhire stressed that the club was not thinking negatively, but it was clear that Baker needed to show he deserved his spot. And when he needed a performance in the clutch, Baker delivered. It was more of a solid outing than a stellar one, but he limited the Mets to just two runs on seven hits over five innings. The difference between this outing and Baker's previous struggles? Well, he couldn't quite pinpoint the answer. "Nothing technically was different," Baker said. "I didn't try to make any adjustments mechanically or emotionally. It just worked out tonight." Baker (2-2) likely could have gone farther in the outing. He had thrown only 84 pitches before the Twins pinch-hit for him in the top of the sixth inning. But with the Twins leading, 3-2, and with one out in the inning, Gardenhire opted to use a pinch-hitter to try to drive in what appeared to be a crucial run from third base. The decision proved to be a good one, as Mike Redmond laced a single into left field to put the Twins up, 4-2. But the scoring in the inning wasn't done. Jason Tyner pinch-ran for Redmond and stole his fifth base of the season. Then, after Luis Castillo drew a walk to put runners at first and second, Joe Mauer belted a double to left, scoring two more runs.
Not only did the sixth-inning runs give the Twins a bigger lead, they allowed Baker to leave the game with a boost of confidence."You run him back out there and something happens, you kick yourself," Gardenhire said. "He did his job. And we wanted that run." Baker seemed to understand the situation pretty well, acknowledging that he didn't expect to be left in for that type of situation just yet. "I know that I technically haven't earned the right to go back out there in that point of the game," he said. "That's OK -- it's the way it is." Redmond's clutch hit and the rest of the sixth-inning action came after the Twins' offense had found a way to get to a Mets starter early in a contest for the second straight night. Left-hander Oliver Perez lasted just 5 1/3 innings after throwing 110 pitches. He gave up four runs on five hits and issued five walks. The biggest of those five hits came in the fifth inning, when the Twins took their first lead of the game. Shea Stadium has proved to be quite a difficult park for home run hitters, and no one knew that better than center fielder Torii Hunter, who had watched plenty of hard-hit balls knocked down in the wind over the course of the three-game series. But in the fifth inning, Hunter was able to take one of Perez's inside fastballs just over the left-field fence for a two-run homer. And suddenly, the Twins had the spark of energy they needed. "Man, when I hit it, I thought it was an out," Hunter said. "I hit it pretty good, but you know, with the way the balls fly here, I wasn't sure. But I got lucky." But more important than any individual performance was the fact that the victory gave the Twins their first road series win since May 21-23, when they took two of three at Texas. And the series win was made a little sweeter considering that it came against the club for which Gardenhire spent five seasons as a player. "Sure it's nice to come out here and knock their socks off for a couple of wins," he said. "It's good to win a series, a huge series here in New York, against a good baseball team."

Man diagnosed with autism to share treatment ideas at Junction conference
Parents, educators and mental or medical health service professionals who want to participate in the fourth annual Connections Conference have until 4:30 p.m. Thursday to register for the conference.
The conference will take place from 8 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. April 20 at Victory Life Church, 2066 U.S. Highway 6&50 in Fruita.
The purpose of the conference is to bring together people from a variety of backgrounds who are interested in autism education and services and have them learn about and discuss autism resources and interventions.
Ten local education and service agencies sponsor the conference, which grew out of a 2009 Autism Task Force collaboration.
Conference participants will attend two 90-minute breakout sessions. They can pick from a dozen topics, including navigation of adult services, helping less-verbal people with autism manage strong emotions, in-home strategies for behavior management, life skills for young adults with autism and managing sibling relationships.
Raun K. Kaufman, current director of global education and former chief executive officer of Autism Treatment Center of America, will present the conference's keynote address. Kaufman was diagnosed with severe autism as a child so his parents invented autism treatment and education model The Son-Rise Program. Kaufman will discuss innovative strategies used in the program and relay his own journey through recovery.
Registration is $30 per person or $50 per couple. Lunch is included.

Don't forget to follow <3 if you like what you see!
For those of you who don't know, the 'Organ' Trail (no that's not misspelled, name of the game is an intentional play on words) is a free to play text based adventure heavily based off of the well known survival simulator we all got to forcefully experience at least once in our childhood, the Oregon Trail.
The only difference you didn't know you needed, until now...Zombies! That''s right, zombies! The game takes place during an outbreak in which you and four other group members must traverse across the country to a safe haven, starting in Washington D.C. and ending in (you guessed it) Oregon. The game, created by The Men Who Wear Many Hats, is easy and fun to play albeit a few moments of inevitable rage that follows every time you get a flat tire or a member of your group breaks out with dysentery. But aside from that, the game has a lot of positives. Scavenging I found to be very useful, as I quickly learned I hadn't taken enough food with me from the start. And trading with other survivors at cities and landmarks saved me on numerous occasions. It's not easy to replace a broken muffler without a bit of bartering, you know? Plus, as mentioned, the game is completely free to play and I'll provide a link at the bottom of my page for those who want to check it out. Which let's face it, you all should, because you can't beat free entertainment!
MY ADVENTURE - Here's a tip..don't do what I did, and you might just live to see the end.
Right from the get go upon starting this game, I had high hopes. I never quiet made it far enough through the Orgeon Trail in my childhood to truly enjoy it, and now I was being given a second chance at glory. Sometimes second chances are wasted..this might've been one of those times. Instead of trying to solely beat the game, I thought it'd be more fun to role play and create an entire back story for all of my characters. The following is my experience of the game from the perspective of my main character:
(spoilers below)
It's the middle of the night and word is out that everyone must evacuate the city. Without a moment to lose, I gather up a group of four to join me for the adventure of a lifetime. There's myself, the fearless leader who's main goal is to protect my son from the world. Shaun and Kelly, a young couple caught up in a bad situation. After recently finding out Kelly was pregnant, those two would go through just about anything to find safety. Chris, a mechanic whose years behind the wheel made him the ideal driver for our trek. And of course, my son, Charlie. Ever since my wife and I got divorced, Charlie has held a resentment towards me. He blames me for not having her around. And now that the world is coming to an end, I'm all that he has left.
We only had 8 hours to scavenge for supplies before the city was to be nuked. Not a lot of time to mess around. We split up, gathering as much fuel, food, and ammunition as we could carry. Leaving behind, medical supplies and spare parts for the vehicle. After gearing up, we set out to find our first landmark.
Things were great in the beginning. Group moral was up, we had plenty of fuel and food, and there wasn't any threats of zombies for days. We made it through three checkpoints before things started to go south. With limited supplies to barter, and too many mouths to feed, we quickly found ourselves out of food. It didn't help matters that our driver, Chris, had come down with the fever. Options limited, at this point I took what ammunition we had and decided I'd go out and scavenge for food. Everyone else, although just as much in need of food as I, thought it'd be best to stay at the vehicle. So there I was, alone in the wilderness, blasting away at zombies in the hopes of finding a bite to eat. And that's when it happened...I was attacked. Not bit, but attacked.
As I got back to the group, Shaun noticed I was a scuffed up and didn't think I was safe to be around. I tried to tell him I was fine, and that I wasn't infected but he wasn't hearing it. We began to argue, and after a heated exchange of words he attacked me. I didn't want to, but I had no choice. I shot him, right there on the spot. The noise attracted a mob of zombies, so there was no time to hang out. Distraught, we drug Kelly into the car and the rest of us continued on.
Another city came up, but with nothing left to barter, we had no choice but to pass on through. As we were travelling, I stopped to do a check on our inventory and noticed that Chris, in his feverish state, had lost some of our fuel. The precious fuel that was supposed to get us to safety was now littered somewhere along the side of the road. In an enraged state, I acted out and shot Chris. At this point, it was hard to tell how much of my old self was truly left. What kind of person was I becoming?
After 2 more days of driving, my group finally caught a break. I happened upon a medical kit that would surely prove itself handy in the future..boy was I wrong.
We stumbled across a massive swarm of zombies a little ways out from the city we were just in. With no way around, we sat and waited to see what the zombies would do. For hours they became more and more restless and agitated, and at one point I thought we might have to high tail it back to the previous city. But after four hours, the zombies began to settle down. This was our chance. We idled the car through the crowd of soulless bodies and somehow managed to make our way through. Well, almost. During all that time spent waiting around the crowd of zombies, Kelly had contracted the measles and was slowly but surely dying. And to top it off, my son I was so desperately trying to protect had been bit and was infected.
I stopped the vehicle to give Kelly time to rest, but her illness was too much and she became incapacitated. Just when I thought I had tried everything in my power to help her, I remembered something...I had a medical kit! I quickly grabbed it from the back of the car and stabbed the syringe into her heart. Kelly sprung up, life renewed!
Seems as if luck is finally on my side, right? Wrong!
My son, Charlie, who was in the back seat hadn't fully understood what was happening. After already being attacked by a zombie, and mistaking Kelly for a zombie that just turned rather than a human who was just saved, he shot her in the head in an attempt to protect himself.
After almost a week of driving, with three dead and my son on the verge, I needed to rest. Forgetting that my son was sitting in the backseat turning into a flesh eating monster, I closed my eyes and drifted off. During this time, Charlie turned and leaping from the back of the car began to attack me, biting off a chunk from my neck. I'm not going to lie, I love my boy, but that shit hurt! I acted on impulse and shot him..
Now I sit, alone. In a car with half a can of gas left, no food, enough bullets to hold in the palm of one hand, and the knowledge that within a day I'll just become another mindless corpse roaming the earth. Right as I thought it couldn't get any worse, in true Oregon Trail fashion...I got dysentery and died.
4 / 5
Organ Trail is short, fun, and easy to play! I'd highly recommend this game to anyone whose looking for an Oregon Trail simulator with a modern day twist.
Granted, everyone in my group died and we only made it about 1/3 of the way to Oregon. I had an absolute blast along the way! Role playing definitely adds a whole other level of fun to the game that will have me coming back for more within the days to follow. (I do plan on trying to make it to safety at least one of these times)

Hey, everyone! In case you've been wondering, I didn't die! And as some of you might have imagined by my first(and only) article, no I did not lock myself away for the past three years playing Dragon Age Origins. Even though I very easily could have, that game is amazing! I've just been very busy with work and school over the years and have put off blogging for far too long.
THE GOOD NEWS? I've been working at a local video game store called 'Just Press Play' that specializes in retro games and I love it! I work alongside a life size power ranger and get paid to talk with people everyday about one of my biggest passions, gaming! I consider myself extremely lucky to do what I do for a living.
THE BETTER NEWS? I have a whole new plethora of work related horror stories to share with you. Plus I now have access to physical copies of just about every game ever made. So, if anyone ever wants a review on a specific title whether it be from the '80s or two days ago, let me know and I'll see what I can do!
With all that being said, if you like what I write (or you just need a blogger to hate) I will continue to review both games and film for the foreseeable future. With the occasional work related short if I feel so inclined. Especially now that I have an outlet in which to share my experiences and the time to do so.
Check back soon for my thoughts on The Raid 2: Berandal. One of my most anticipated films of 2014!
What do you consider your toughest, or most rewarding gaming achievement? Let me know in the comments below!
Keep on gaming,
I recently got Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition for $35 from a local game store, and I have to say that it is easily the best $35 i've spent on a game in a long time. I know it has been out for a while. But for anyone on a tight budget, this game is perfect. The original Dragon Age disc and all 7 DLC's for $35 is a steal. To top it all off the game is incredible, the story is captivating and kept me playing for hours on end. I just recently finished my first playthrough of the game and got Blight-Queller(kill 1000 darkspawn) which I was worried I would not get due to its many problems after a title update. Luckily enough I got the achievement on my very last kill of the game.(which by the way, is pretty damn epic) I went through as Morgath, a lvl 25 Dalish Elf Rogue Archer who maxed out his damage at 1236 in a single hit. Needless to say, I was pretty badass and destroyed anything in my path. For my second playthrough I am playing as Neria, a lvl 25 Dalish Elf Shapeshifter Magi. Honestly, whats cooler than turning into a bear and mauling your enemies faces off? Well, I am off to continue my second playthrough, and I simply can't wait to hear some of Alistair's infamous one liners. To anyone who has played this game, let me know what your favorite part of the game was. And to those of you who haven't experienced Dragon Age yet, check it out. For only $35 and 100+ hours of enthralling gameplay, you can't go wrong.
Keep on Gaming,

Dylon Cormier is smart enough to realize that he should not expect the Patriot League to roll out the red carpet for him and his Loyola men's basketball teammates as they begin their first season in the conference.
In fact, the 6-foot-3, 184-pound senior shooting guard said he and his teammates are anticipating a welcome that isn't warm and fuzzy.
"I think the other teams are going to try to make a statement," the Baltimore native and Cardinal Gibbons graduate said. "They're going to try show who's the best in the league."
After more than 20 years competing in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, the Greyhounds made the move to the Patriot...

A survey of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Arkansans found that one in four has experienced employment discrimination and more than one in three has experienced harassment at work, a group that promotes gay rights said Monday.
The Washington-based Human Rights Campaign released findings from a survey conducted as part of Project One America, its campaign to promote LGBT equality in the South.
The group said the online survey by Anzalone Liszt Grove Research of 979 people, who were recruited to participate through e-mail, social media and online ads, is the largest survey of the LGBT community ever conducted in Arkansas.
According to the findings released Monday, 25 percent of respondents said they have experienced employment discrimination; 37 percent have experience harassment at work; and 45 percent have experienced harassment at school.
Also, 39 percent of respondents said they have experienced harassment by family members; 43 percent have experienced harassment in public establishments; 16 percent have experienced harassment from a public servant such as a police officer; and 18 percent have experienced harassment at their houses of worship at least once a month.
The survey found that 42 percent of respondents said they do not consider their doctor LGBT friendly and that only 25 percent have access to partner health insurance benefits.
Researchers also looked at ways the LGBT community contributes to society.
The survey found that 58 percent of respondents have called Arkansas home for more than 20 years; 9 percent have served or are serving in the military; 53 percent volunteer in their communities; 60 percent donate to charitable groups and nonprofits; one third are people of faith — 44 percent among African Americans; 32 percent have donated to their house of worship; and 57 percent of respondents ages 18-25 intend to have children one day.
"The survey revealed LGBT Arkansans are just like their friends and family members — living, working, and volunteering in their communities," Project One America director Brad Clark said in a news release. "However, they face harsh realities living in the state they call home. We have a moral responsibility to change that."

Lake Ridge Academy outgrew one location for its annual fundraiser and moved to another for this year's Auction Gala. The Galleria was the site for this year's event, attended by 250 guests. They were made to feel welcome in the large space through the efforts of dozens of volunteers. Among the volunteers were the school's teachers, who helped in just about every area. Many guests opted for black-tie attire, which raised the elegance level a few more notches.
The event was titled "The Stars Are Out Tonight," and the decorations reflected this theme. The high ceilings of the Galleria were perfect for stars, twinkle lights and even some early snowflakes. Table decorations and centerpieces were themed as well.
Throughout a social hour, guests bid on hundreds of silent auction items. The hard-working committee grouped them and, as is traditional at events such as these, the food and wine item tables received a lot of attention. Unique to this event was a collection of auction items called "Royally Made." Student-athletes are referred to as "the Royals," so the title was apt. All of the items were made by faculty, staff and alums. They ranged from private ukulele lessons to homemade cookies. The auction closed by section and the active bidders moved from place to place.
I was the dinner guest of Susan and Bob Smith, long-time strong supporters of education and children's causes. Bob is chairman of the Lake Ridge Academy board and, in that capacity, welcomed guests. The Sammy's catered dinner was in its best traditions. Funds raised at the event will support the school in general. Co-chairwomen Cindy Fairchild, Pam Kolczun, Clare Navratil and Brenda Norton also made a special paddle raise in the fund-a-need tradition. Guests made pure donations to the school for a specific cause. At this event, it was called "Extreme Makeover, Campus Edition." Other components of the Lake Ridge Academy event were a variety of raffles and a dozen live auction items.

HAILEY, Idaho — U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl worked at Zaney's River Street Cafe off and on in his hometown in southern Idaho for two years. When owner Sue Martin learned of his capture in Afghanistan in 2009, she turned on a light in his honor.
That light, which sits on a shelf, has remained on ever since as her coffee shop became a support center for the soldier's release.
"It's a ray of hope," she explained Saturday.
Even though Bergdahl has finally been released, Martin intends to keep the light burning — at least until he comes back to the modest home off a dirt road about 5 miles outside of Hailey.
"I'll let Bowe turn it off" himself, she said.
For years, a sign that hung in the cafe's window read "Get Bowe Back." On Saturday, it was accompanied with two more signs that said, "Welcome home, Bowe!" and "Our prayers have been answered!"
The news Saturday of Bergdahl's release from captivity spread quickly in Hailey, and residents immediately began making plans for a welcome-home celebration. An annual event called "Bring Bowe Back" scheduled for June 28 was quickly renamed "Bowe is Back."
"It is going to be Bowe's official welcome-home party even if he's not quite home yet," organizer Stefanie O'Neill said Saturday.
Bergdahl, 28, had been held prisoner by the Taliban since June 30, 2009. He was handed over to U.S. special forces by the Taliban in exchange for the release of five Afghan detainees held by the United States.
In Hailey, a town of 7,000 residents just down the road from upscale Sun Valley, residents have hung yellow ribbons along the one major road that travels through the heart of the community. Signs were taped up Saturday that said, "Bowe is free at last!"
Hailey resident Audrey Kirk said she found out about Bergdahl's release after her sister texted her the news.
"I remember when he was captured. It was awful," said Kirk, who attends the same church as Bergdahl's parents. "When I got the text, I just started screaming and went to turn on the TV. It's surreal that he's coming home."
Rebecca DeShields, also a Hailey resident, said that when she heard about the news she grabbed her bike and attached a bright yellow balloon to the front. "This is a story of redemption, this is a story of one of our own coming home," she said.
"Everyone is ecstatic. We're all hugging even if we don't know each other," said O'Neill. "We walk down the street and people are like, 'Have you heard the news?'"
Jeff Gunter, Hailey's police chief, described the day as being "extremely emotional." Gunter has been close friends with Bergdahl's family for the past 25 years.
"Nobody can know what they (the parents) went through," Gunter said. "But now that they're able to reach out and touch him, to hold him, that's amazing."
Bob and Jani Bergdahl joined President Obama during an appearance in the Rose Garden Saturday evening as he announced Bowe Bergdahl's release. The couple planned to speak to the media in Boise on Sunday afternoon.
Bob Bergdahl learned some Pashto, the language spoken by the Taliban, and made a video, distributed via the Internet in May 2011, in a bid to appeal directly to the Taliban for his son's freedom. He also grew a beard as a personal monument to his son's plight.
Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter issued a statement welcoming the news and expressing gratitude for prayers for Bergdahl's release being answered.
"Today, Idaho gives thanks," Otter said. "Soon we all will celebrate Bowe's freedom and homecoming."
In addition to hanging yellow ribbons from trees and utility poles since Bergdahl was captured, Hailey residents planted four trees in a local park, one for every year the solder spent in captivity.
"We were in the process this week of obtaining the fifth tree and getting that planted and we don't need that tree now," O'Neill said Saturday.
"When Bowe is home then our ribbons come down," she added. "We are thrilled that he is safe. But we'll keep everything up until he's back with his mom and dad in his house."
O'Neill said his parents always believed this day would come. "They never gave up hope," she said, adding that no one else in the town did, either.
Martin pulled out a bright, yellow V-neck shirt that matches the town's ribbons and balloons. She's been saving the shirt for the day she always knew would come.
"I've saved it for years. I bought it specifically for when Bowe was released and ready to come home," she said, adding that she will be waiting for him to come back home with open arms.
"I'm going to congratulate him for his perseverence myself," she said.

College Ministry
Thanks for checking out the college ministry here at Trinity Baptist Church! College students have been an important part of Trinity's congregation for many years. We are located within walking distance of Yale, and we are just a short drive away from SCSU, Albertus Magnus, Quinnipiac, Gateway, and UNH.
It's our hope that college is one of the most exciting times of your life as you study, learn, and grow. We're here to help you make the most of it! Listed below, you'll find some ways that you can get involved, and you'll learn more about who we are and what we do as a church. We hope you find a home and a family in Christ here at Trinity, and we hope you tell your friends and bring them along too. We can't wait to meet you!
Why Church?
Good question! At Trinity we're convinced that it's spiritually healthy, even vital, that students get connected and rooted in a local church body. Sometimes we're not aware of what a tremendous blessing it is to be involved in the life and community of a local church, but God is constantly using His community of believers to encourage one another and reveal Himself in profound ways. Being part of a diverse body like a local church is a great way to expose ourselves to such a blessing. Furthermore, at Trinity we're deeply committed to supporting you as a student as you live out your Christian life at college. We believe that learning from Biblical teaching, being involved in close discipleship relationships, and just regularly being among a group of God's people are the best means of encouragement for our Christian walk together.
When We Meet: Our Worship
On Sunday morning and evening we come together to praise God, to pray together, and to hear God's Word through biblical teaching and preaching. Afterwards, you're invited to stay around for snacks and to meet other college students and families. Come to be spiritually fed and encouraged - and bring your skeptical friends to hear and see who Jesus really is.
Sunday School (9:00 AM) - Come to grow in your understanding of God and to be equipped to serve. We have multiple classes that you can choose from, covering a wide variety of topics, such as: Church History, Bible Overview, Theology, Prayer, Apologetics, and Evangelism
Morning Worship (10:00 AM) - This is our largest gathering where you'll find a mixture of traditional hymns and contemporary songs along with dynamic preaching and active fellowship.
Evening Worship (6:30 PM) - Prefer to come to church in the evening? Our evening service is also centered around teaching God's word, but has a more laid-back and contemporary feel.
Transportation - Need a ride to church? No problem! We'll make sure you can get here on Sunday. We regularly arrange pick-ups and rides from the various campuses in New Haven. Contact Pastor Greg for a ride.
What We Do: Our Ministries
Discipleship - Develop an on-going personal relationship with a member or pastor of Trinity who will encourage and equip you in the life of faith. Meeting times are flexible to work with your schedule.
Host Families - There's no better way to find a little home away from home than to sign up for a host family. You and other college students will be paired with a family who will welcome you into their home for some relaxation and a home-cooked meal.
Service & Ministry - Whatever your gifts and talents, there is a place for you to serve at Trinity. Whether it's our homeless outreach or children's church, our youth group or music ministry, our hospitality teams or service crews, you can put your faith in action and see God at work.
Campus Fellowship - God is calling you over these four years to be salt and light on your campus. Trinity supports the work of many campus fellowship groups that provide a framework for doing just that. We can help connect you to one that's right for you.
Who We Are: Our Identity
Authentic Faith - In an age of counterfeits, we try hard to ensure that what we believe is solidly Biblical. This matters to us because we want to authentically and reliably follow Christ and we think the means to do this is to listen carefully to what God says in the Bible. Our "Doctrinal Statement" summarizes the central beliefs of orthodox Christian faith down through the ages. We stand on the shoulders of historical pioneers and teachers and apply the Christian truth to the pitfalls and opportunities of our own cultural context.
Authentic Living - It's possible to be creedally accurate but personally shallow, even disingenuous, in the practice of our lives. Our "Core Commitments" express our desire to live out the teachings of Jesus in the everyday world of work, school, relationships, etc. In this process of personal transformation our lives support, encourage, and intersect each other. We don't just 'believe' something, we believe in someone, and this increasingly shapes us as a community into his image.

Berkshire Garden Journal: No crop rotation blues here
'It's the new dance sensation ... it's called crop rotation ... it's for plant fortification Šsha, nah, nah."
And thus begins -- and ends -- my song-writing career. It was a plan doomed to failure. However, another plan in the works is guaranteed to yield success. It's my crop rotation plan for the vegetable garden.
Crop rotation simply means not planting the same vegetable or another of the same family in the same location each year. (A chart of vegetable families can be found at: www.organicsforall.org/vegetables.htm)
Rotating the location of crops every year reduces the chance of damage by pests and diseases that overwinter in the soil. The rationale is most pests and diseases are host-specific, that is, a specific insect or disease attacks a specific vegetable crop. For example, early blight (Alternaria solani), a fungal disease, infects only members of the Solanum family, which includes tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant.
The fungus overwinters in infected plant debris and the soil, where it can survive several years and provide spores to infect new plantings of tomatoes. Rotating unrelated crops in that location for three or four years can dramatically reduce the fungus population and the chances of infecting tomatoes the next time they are planted there.
For successful crop rotation, make a plan of your garden each year, carefully noting the location of each crop. This makes it easier to rotate planting schemes in successive years. The resulting reduction of pest and disease problems will have you dancing to the tune of "Crop Rotation."
While you're up, dance to the tune of these weekend tasks:
n Dig up some roots of horseradish before new growth begins. Do NOT grate horseradish in a confined room; it's best to do it outdoors with a 40-mile per hour gale at your back. I shed many a tear before learning that lesson.
n Apply horticultural oil to fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs before they leaf out. Horticultural oil is a highly refined petroleum or plant-derived oil used to control mites, scale insects, and aphids. While very safe and effective, they are a little tricky to use. Read and follow the label directions carefully to avoid injuring the plant.
n Spread several inches of compost or other organic material over the soil and work it in to a depth of at least 12 inches prior to planting perennials. Do this as soon as your soil is workable. The pre-plant time is your best chance to work organic matter in this deep.
n Transplant divided perennials during the evening hours or on a cloudy day, preferably just before a rain. This will reduce stress on the plants and keep them from wilting.
n Buy and plant pansies in gardens, window boxes, or patio containers. Pansies are very hardy and can withstand a hard freeze and, dare I mention, snow. Pansies come in a vast array of colors and size.
n Apply fertilizer to blueberries, grapes, raspberries and strawberries. Formulations of 10-10-10 or something similar are typically used, but the specific amount to apply will vary among organic and synthetic fertilizers due to different release rates of nutrients. So, read the product label for application rates.
n Check yourself for deer ticks -- also known as Black-Legged Ticks -- each day after working in the garden. Adult deer ticks are active now. Be especially careful when raking leaves and removing other garden debris as they are favorite hiding places for ticks.
n Have a gardening question? Call the Master Gardeners' hotline, (413) 298-5355, at the Berkshire Botanical Garden. The live hotline is staffed every Monday, 9 a.m. to noon, through Oct. 1. At other times, leave your name, phone number and the best time to get back to you, and a Master Gardener will return your call.

Can Anyone Guess What Facebook Just Spent $19 Billion On?
The tech world is in shock over Facebook's latest big ticket purchase. But what exactly did the social media giant spend that exorbitant amount of moola on?
None other than WhatsApp, a mobile-messaging service that allows people with the app to communicate all over the world while avoiding SMS fees. According to Slate's Will Oremus, though WhatsApp has been growing at an alarming rate (25 million new users sign up per month!), it may not be worth the large sum paid for it — but it could be worth it to Facebook, which is trying at all costs to avoid being wiped out by mobile-messaging services.
Perhaps from the standpoint of the U.S., where many haven't even heard of the app, all those zeros are still wince worthy, but when you consider WhatsApp's wild popularity all over the rest of the world, the numbers may start to add up.
Facebook just made its boldest business move ever, buying the mobile-messaging service WhatsApp in a deal worth some $19 billion in cash and stock. That's six times what Google paid for Nest in January, and 19 times what Facebook paid for Instagram two years ago. It's so much money that people found themselves reaching beyond the business realm for context. Development expert Charles Kenny compared the purchase price to the total annual lending of the World Bank.
The immediate reaction from the tech and business world was incredulity. "Do they also get the state of Florida?" one jokester asked.
As far as I can tell, Facebook does not get the state of Florida in the deal. What it does get is a five-year-old, Mountain View-based startup that has become one of the world's most popular communication services in just the past year. WhatsApp was founded in 2009 by a pair of ex-Yahoo-ers who set out to build a better alternative to standard, SMS-based text messaging. It allows you to chat and shoot texts, pictures, and videos back and forth with friends over the Internet, like Apple's iMessage, Microsoft's Skype, BBM, or Facebook Messenger. Not only does WhatsApp have more features than SMS, it's far cheaper—free for the first year, and just $1 a year after that. It's particularly useful as a way to chat with friends and family overseas without running up big charges. It also has no ads, although that seems highly likely to change under Facebook ownership.
For more insight into the purchase, and maybe a chuckle or two, check out the BBC's creative report, which uses the app to get across the message about what may happen to WhatsApp when Facebook takes over.

Once they secured a family through the application process, the entire congregation pitched in. Some furniture has been donated and all involved are very excited to help. The family is expected to arrive by the end of February and Mercer already knows a little bit about them.

Injectables and lasers: preventive medicine for the young
September 22, 2011
You are 30-years-old, beautiful and basking in admiration. Just for a lark you visit a plastic surgeon or dermatologist to find out at what age you might need some "work." You expect the doctor to say, "Scram, come back and see me in 20 years." But instead, you hear, "It's the moment something bothers you."
What's new, according to September 2011 Marie Claire, is that plastic surgery and other in-office cosmetic treatments are being embraced as preventive measures. "According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Botox procedures in the 19 to 34 demo have doubled in the past decade. Another study found that those between the age of 18 and 24 are the most likely of any age group to approve of surgery." These young'uns, raised on a diet of reality TV, are absolutely not ashamed of being vain.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is the new mantra for facial perfection. In other words, less invasive procedures when you're young can avert aggressive measures later on.
Your first step is beginning a regimen of Retin-A in your 20s. But if you're already bothered by uneven pigmentation, enlarged pores and fine lines, Fraxel, a resurfacing laser, will help to reverse sun damage. It's about $1,500, which will make a dent in your rent payment, and you will have several days of angry-looking swollen skin. The preventive aspect is that, according to a dermatologist, studies have shown Fraxel resurfacing can reduce precancerous tissue and growth.
If you assumed your neck was a nonissue until you're 50, think again. A dermatologist suggests injecting the young with Restylane around the upper jawline to lift prematurely sagging jowls. In terms of prevention, this filler is touted as increasing collagen production over time.
Prevention is also a goal when Botox is also injected since it relaxes muscles before they give birth to wrinkles.

A van theft from the Abbey Carpet parking lot on East Hwy. 95 in Cambridge that lasted about 10 minutes last December has resulted in a 6-month jail term for a Monticello man. If he violates his 10-year probation that sentence could result in 17 months in prison.
Chad Roy Amundsen, 35, told authorities he had only wanted to get warm when he got into a 2000 Econoline van with the motor running Dec. 13, 2010. When he drove out of the parking lot his story became less believable to investigators.
The van's driver, a contractor who had stepped into Abbey Carpet to drop off a key, looked up just as the van drove past the window on its way to Hwy. 95.
With the contractor chasing the van on foot, the driver, later identified as Amundsen, attempted to make a U-turn to go west, giving the other man just enough time to jump in the vehicle and attempt to pull Amundsen out.
The contractor said he wasn't sure how Amundsen got out of the vehicle but that he took off running north toward Cambridge State Bank while the contractor pulled his van out of traffic.
Amundsen was arrested a short time later.
On May 4 Judge Robert Rancourt sentenced Amundsen to 180 days and a $385 fine for felony theft, with credit for time served since his arrest. He was placed on 10 years probation and a 17-month prison term was stayed.
A charge of felony theft-indifferent to owner's rights was dismissed.

International elevator and escalator firm Kone is expanding its presence in Allen.
The company said Thursday that it will relocate about 80 manufacturing and professional staff jobs – including some from a plant it operates in Torreon, Mexico - to the Collin County city north of Dallas.
The Mexico facility will also continue to operate.
Kone will consolidate operations in a $26 million project to be constructed in the Allen Place development on the east side of U.S. Highway 75.
"We will be customizing the elevator controls closer to where they are installed in the U.S. and Canada," vice president Ron Bagwill said Thursday in a statement. "Our centralized location in Allen will simplify logistics, enhance quality and speed delivery."
Kone said it expects Houston-based Sentinel Capital, Centra Partners and Triad Real Estate to break ground on the new Allen complex "in the next few months."
Kone has leased 169,000 square feet of office space at Allen Place and will take occupancy in the first half of 2015
The Allen Place complex is being designed by Goulas + Associates Inc.

Ouch! Kylie Jenner landed in the hospital after a trampoline mishap on Tuesday.
The 16-year-old was injured while jumping on a trampoline with sister Khloe Kardashian.
"In the hospital thanks to @khloekardashian," Kylie captioned a black and white photo posted on her Instagram page on Tuesday, where she is seen covering her nose with her hand. "My mom said, 'Never thought I would take u to the doctor for a trampoline accident at this age.'
"This means war Khloe," she added. "Ps. It was painful taking this photo."
Khloe quickly took to Instagram to combat Kylie's claim, Instagramming a photo collage with herself and her younger sister on the trampoline.
"Kylie this is proof you did it to yourself! Sorry not sorry!" Khloe wrote. "Just kidding I am sorry my little bug a boo!! Let the war continue!!!!"

MIAMI BEACH (Mar. 13)
Mikhail Gorbachev, the new Soviet leader, was urged by leading Conservative rabbis meeting here to engage in a new period of cooperation with the West by releasing Soviet Prisoners of Conscience, permitting increased Jewish emigration, and adhering to the Helsinki accords, of which it is a signatory.
At the 85th annual meeting of the 1,200 member Rabbinical Assembly, the rabbinic body of Conservative Judaism, President Reagan was urged to include the issue of human rights for Soviet Jews as part of all dialoguesheld between the United States and the USSR, including talks on nuclear arms and trade.
A more direct and personalized plea on behalf of Soviet Jews was issued by a leader of the Black community, the Catholic Church and a Conservative rabbi — all active in helping the cause of human rights and in particular Jews in the Soviet Union. They spoke at a workshop on Soviet Jewry held Tuesday.
Rabbi Allan Sack Meyerowitz of Spring Valley, N.Y. chairman of the RA's Committee on Soviet Jewry, declared:" True relations and agreements on such issues as trade and nuclear disarmament will never be achieved between the USSR and the United States unless the human rights question is fully and properly addressed by Soviet leaders and new policies adopted."
Sister Anne Gillen, executive director of the Chicago-based National Interreligious Task Force on Soviet Jewry, called upon Catholics to continue their support of Soviet Jewry. "There can be no real peace in the world until there is at least basic rights for Jews, Catholics and others in the Soviet Union," she said.
Gillen reported that in 1984, 130 people, all of whom were human rights activists, were arrested and of this group, 41 were brought to trial, many receiving a minimum prison sentence of three years or more. Seven individuals, she said, were put to death.
Meanwhile, Roy Innis, the national chairman of CORE, the Congress of Racial Equality based in New York, said that the time has come for the Soviet leadership to "stop acting like a new fledgling government still in their post-1917 revolutionary era and begin to act like a super power."
Innis called for the USSR to "open up their borders for people to come in and out. There is no need to be afraid of Christians or Jews practicing their religion or people from various ethnic backgrounds to freely practice their own cultural traditions." He added that if the new Kremlin leaders represent "the younger wave," and "if there is validity to their sytem, then it must stand the open competition in the modern place of ideas."

Q. Here now we have a heart-warming story about one girl's experience with lice – so get comfy and TAKE NOTE! You do not want this to happen to you!
"Oooh-pleeze help!!!! I have an ex-boyfriend who sports a mass of locks that are his crowning glory and all that, but now he tells me he has LICE!!! What's worse is that his new girlfriend has lice too because of him and can't get rid of them because he WILL NOT get rid of his dreadlocks–he is a walking infestation, it is horrible, and if I am correct, there is no way to get a LARGE infestation of head lice out of a LARGE amount of dreadlocks. Now they are getting evicted from their apartment, and the nice guy who says they can move in with him is gonna get lice too!!! I do not think I need to explain any further for you to see that there is a big mess at hand. What I am asking from you is for you to send me back an e-mail that I can read to him–straight from some dreadlock experts strongly urging him that he really has no alternative, and that it is not the end of the world…he will not listen to me alone or to anyone else. I do not know how anyone puts up with him, but they do, and it is sad. For the good of humanity, please help!!!"
A. To this, my response was, obviously…
Wow, that really, totally sucks! I can't believe how irresponsible that is of him… I'm not sure what to say, except that it is NOT right to subject other people around you to your filthy infestation – that's not cool at all, and you would certainly not wish for someone else to do that to you! I don't care how attached a person is to his/her dreads, it is not fair to keep them if it means that you're going to continue spreading the problem around to other people. How totally selfish! If he's been to a doctor and tried different medicated shampoos to no avail, then he'd better stop thinking of himself and start thinking about what he's doing to the people around him. This one guy who got fleas from a dog cut his dreads off right away – he knew it was only hair and that it was better to do that than just live with them and spread them around. I don't mean to speak harshly, but honestly he has to do the right thing in this situation, it's just common courtesy! Hope that helps, and let me know how things turn out…
A. Here are also a few tips emailed us about lice removal, use at your own risk and don't contact us about it -they are not dreadlocks.org-tested!:
"After discovering I had lice, I carefully and painstakingly took out my dreads. After NiX and RiD (lice treatment stuff) wouldn't work, I took Vaseline and just caked it on my hair. I worked all my hair with thick globs of the stuff. Wrapped my oily, greasy hair with a towel and after about 48 hours (I think), I shampooed and shampooed until most of the junk was out and I had nary an itch! It works by suffocating the little buggers and nits until they die (bugs need air too!). Now I am lice free, so it's a pretty foolproof method of lice removal. Just lots of grease! I did it *after* I took my dreads out, so I have no idea if it would work if a dreadie tried it. You have to completely saturate your hair with the Vaseline, so it might prove difficult to get in the little spongy gaps of air (where the lice might hide). But if someone with dreads had lice, and they could get the Vaseline into the dreads enough (without ruining the knots), it might work. But getting the Vaseline out might be a problem.
Anyway, let it be known that it is strictly by chance that I got lice while I had dreads. Having dreads has absolutely nothing to do with getting lice (although it might be more difficult to get rid of the lice if you've got dreads). Since my dreads were loose and young, I had the good-ass fortune to get away with not cutting my hair off."
Ryan says:
"I have heard of another way of possibly ridding your hair of bugs if you get them. I have no idea if it works, or its side effects, but it goes like this… Supposedly if you soak your scalp and dreads in rubbing alcohol, them put a plastic bag over your hair to trap the fumes in, it will kill all the bugs if you leave the bag on for a while. I have no idea how this might affect your dreads, or scalp, but if it is a last resort, it might be worth trying."
Adam says:
"I was just reading your page on lice, and wanted you to know that there are a few solutions besides chopping off your hair. For instance, you can soak your head in tea tree oil and then put all your hair up in something airtight like a shower cap or saran wrap for a week. **A week??** The tea tree oil kills live bugs (not their eggs) so you need to keep it applied until all eggs that were in your hair have hatched and died."
Amanda says:
"I've read a bit about combating lice in your dreads. Shortly after I started my dreads I went to India. The whole time I was super paranoid about getting lice. Ironically I spent six months in India with no problem but after being home for just a few months… that's right, I got lice. Everyone I talked to told me I would have to cut them off, but after the long process it took to just make my dreads look somewhat good, I wasn't going down without a fight and I am happy to say that I still have my dreads…lice free. I started out with the super strong lice treatment (nix?) that claims to kill not only lice, but also the eggs. Then I went to my local organic food store and got an organic lice treatment shampoo and conditioner that could be used daily. Yeah it cost almost $15 for the both, but it was well worth it. After a week, I retreated my hair with the super strong treatment. I used the shampoo and conditioner until it was finished, but by that time, there were no more bugs in my hair. I am happy to say that I didn't spread the bugs to anyone even though I have two roommates. Just be really careful, and as soon as you suspect that you have bugs in your head, do something. It is really easy to be in denial. It was almost a week before I really realized that yes, I had lice and something had to be done. I don't know how my roommates, especially since one of them has long hair, avoided the bugs. I think the key is to combat them on a daily basis and that can't be done with super strong drugstore lice treatment. So that is it. Hope it helps!"

Ah, September 1. Not a particularly eventful day... aside from a few obscure public holidays (it's Knowledge Day in Russia!) and other events of the sort, it's hard to say that there's much going on (well, there might be something else happening). However, for the technology world, there's a milestone of sorts that's been hit: Opera 10 has been released.
Yeap, that's right. True to its word, Opera has gone ahead and made the public, final version of its latest release available worldwide, bringing some slick new changes which are bound to make some folk rather happy. It took a surprisingly short time for Opera to bring their browser from Release Candidate to the release version... the RC was out on August 25, and of course, it's only September now, so the pre-release version had been out on the market for less than a week. Here are some of the improvements found, which were in the Release Candidate version (but of course are in the final, too):
- Revamped user interface
- Boosted speed from the new Opera Presto 2.2 engine, giving it a 40% increase from the previous version when running web applications (such as Gmail)
- Opera Mail has seen various improvements
- Opera Turbo, designed to increase browsing speed for those on slower Internet connections
- An inline spell checker, to help catch mistakes when typing in entry forms
- Thumbnail tabs which are resizable
- Speed Dial has been given personalization features
If you're eager to get this up and running, head over to the download page on Opera's website, and your operating system will be automatically detected to give you the appropriate version. Be sure to let us know how it goes, although, if you've already had the RC2 version installed, there has only been a couple changes made for the final.
