Clearing Up
Happy New Year to you! I hope that you had a wonderful break from your normal routines. We sure did enjoy ours. It was very full of baking, travel, and spending time with good friends. Now that it is over, I can feel just how good it was to take a break from the everyday work of our regular lives. We really needed that physical and mental break!
Also, now that I am not a crazy person who bakes every moment of every day, I have really enjoyed revisiting my other hobbies: quilting and knitting. On the quilting front, I was able to get my charity quilt for do.good.stitches organized for machine quilting. I'm doing simple straght-ish lines because my machine is really basic and doesn't really do free motion quilting that well.
I do really love all the blocks that came in for this quilt. I've got all the horizontal lines done and just need another afternoon or two to get the vertical ones done as well as the binding. The only trouble is that I really need to do the quilting on the dining room table in order to be able to have enough space to move it around. Unfortunately, the dining room is also the most used space of the house! Well, maybe I can convince the boys to go somewhere else to work for a day or two if I give them enough chocolate!
This week, I also took an afternoon to take a hard look at all my knitting projects and my yarn. I took out every work in progress and asked myself if I really liked the yarn and wanted the finished product. After ripping out three projects, I was left with a few that I felt could be finished rather easily and quickly. A couple of dedicated knitting evenings meant that I had a handful of things that needed a bath.
Clockwise from the top right are: Fraxinus from Ysolda's 2016 club, Mareel from Knitworthy3, an 1898 hat that I gave to the husband for Christmas, a cowl that I made from a blanket strip from Blanket Statement, and in the middle is a really old Andean Chullo hat that just needed its crown finished.
I'm really happy with all of these, except for the Llama hat. After blocking, it turned out too big for anyone. I started that hat years ago and let's just say that my stranded knitting skills have greatly improved since then and I am not happy with how uneven it looks.
My happiest finished object of the bunch has to be the cowl I made from the unfinished blanket strip. Oh, how I love blankets, but Oh, how I hate to knit them! I thought maybe a club knit along atmosphere would help me with that, but alas, though the spirit was willing, other projects were just more interesting. As I was holding it in my hand, wondering if I should rip it out, the thought of turning it into a cowl suddenly came to me. It was just the right length. Eureka! Fifteen minutes later, I was sewing in the ends and giving it to my older son who expressed an interest in it. I just love it when things like that happen.
With my Mareel shawl, I was able to use the new blocking pads and wires that the husband gave me recently. They worked like a charm! Blocking shawls is not always my favorite thing to do, so anything that makes it faster, more accurate, and easier is great in my book. I especially like the fabric that has 1 inch grids that came with the blocking mats. With that underneath the shawl, it was easy to make the points symmetric–something that is always challenging to do with a shawl.
Oh, and I almost forgot! I did manage to finish a secret sweater project for the husband for Christmas.
I designed the sweater as I went along, but couldn't really talk about it here because it was, you know, a surprise. The most challenging part of the sweater was sewing in the zipper along a steeked opening. I used a sewing machine, which has a tendency to push stitches along as it sews, so even though I basted in the zipper, I had to redo it to make the colorwork pattern line up properly.
Also, I am worried that the steek will start to unravel as the garment is worn, even though I reinforced it with two lines of sewing–time will tell!
Overall, I am happy with it, though there are a couple of things I would do differently if I were to do it over again. The collar does not quite come up far enough and it is also a bit tight when fully zipped. He'll just have to go for a casual, partially zipped look when he wears it! The important part is that it fits, which is always a worry when one is knitting a surprise sweater.
What about you? Have you been doing any organizing or clearing out? I've got some more to do in my sewing room, but that will have to wait for another day. I've got a little startitis to work through.
Merry Christmas!
Hi All! Just popping in to announce the winner of the Christmas Treat Box Giveaway. I used the random number generator to help me pick the winner and it chose post 67, which is Laura C. with this post:
"I've seen these cookies before but never had any. Glad the machine was fun and easy to use"
Well, Laura, there are some pizzeles in the box I just shipped off to you, so I hope you enjoy them and the other treats as well!
Thank you to all of you for being faithful readers and commenters. I wish you could be here to enjoy a piece of cake with me. Our event on Saturday ended up being cancelled due to weather, so we've had to eat the whole cake by ourselves, but I would have loved to share it with you. You all make writing this blog a lot of fun!
Today, despite getting off to a late start, has been fairly productive. My candied orange peel is drying now.
And the next batch of panettone dough is made and rising (very slowly). Do you see how stretchy and sheer the dough is? Heavenly! I know it's only Monday, but the week is looking good so far! How's your week looking?
Day 12: Unfinished
Christmas is a week away and I don't know about you, but I still have a lot left to do. Thankfully, I have a pretty clear week in which to get them done. Unfortunately, I sort of ran out of time this weekend and there are still too many balls in the air to have a finished topic today. However, I can show you a few things that I am hoping to get done in the next few days.
The first one is to finish up this batch of candied orange peel. There's lots of recipes out there for making candied orange peel. Here's a good one. Orange peel is a pretty essential ingredient in a lot of my Christmas baking, but it's also fabulous to eat on its own. It's also good dipped in dark chocolate!
Next on the agenda is to work on making another batch of panettone. I made a batch last week using a new recipe, but it didn't turn out as well as I would have liked. It was a recipe I had in my files that I definitely got off the internet, but now I can't find it. Funny.
Anyway, it was good, but not quite the texture we're used to, so I want to make a few adjustments and try it again. I may be able to talk about it later this week if it works out!
In the meantime, this brings us to the end of my 12 Days of Christmas Blog series. It's only one week until Christmas! For one more entry into the Christmas treat box giveaway, leave a comment here before noon eastern standard time tomorrow (December 19). I'll announce the winner in the early afternoon and hope to get that box shipped out soon after. Thank you so much for joining me these past 12 days! See you tomorrow!
Day 11: Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Lemon Icing
This is one of my favorite cakes to make and not just during this time of year. We eat gingerbread all year round because it's good and shouldn't just be limited to just one month out of the year.
This one is dark and spicy with bursts of candied ginger throughout.
But, the thing that makes this gingerbread extra special is the lemon glaze. The zinginess of the lemon goes so well with the spicy mellowness of the cake. You want to be sure that your icing is fairly thick or else most of it will just fall off. This happened to me the first time and I had to redo it, which is why the cake pictured looks like it has two icings.
The cake tastes better if it is made a day ahead of time. I made this cake for an event tonight, so I don't have any pictures of it cut right now, but if there are any leftovers I will add a photo or two tomorrow.
That's all for now. Sorry to be so short today, but it's been a busy few days and I need a little lie down before going out tonight.
Be sure to leave me a comment for another entry into the Christmas treat box giveaway. I think it is mostly packed up now and just waiting for the winner's address. I can't believe tomorrow is the last day! I would love to hear about your favorite Christmas tradition.
Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Lemon Icing
adapted from the Standard Baking Co., Portland ME
2 3/4 cups (13.25 ounces) all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 Tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (4 ounces) or 1 stick unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons (4.5 ounces) sugar
2 large eggs
3/4 cup mild molasses
1 1/3 cups cold water
1/4 cup (2 ounces) finely chopped crystallized ginger
Lemon Glaze
1 3/4 cup (5 ounces) powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a bundt pan or spray with Baker's Joy. Set aside.
Whisk together the flour and spices.
Using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until combined. Add the large eggs and beat to blend. Beat in the light molasses. It will look grainy.
Add half of the dry ingredients and beat until blended. Beat in half of the water. Then add the rest of the dry ingredients and beat until blended. Add the remaining water and mix until mostly incorporated.
Stop the mixer, give the bowl a good scraping down. Then, add the chopped crystallized ginger and beat the mixture again on medium speed for at least a minute.
Transfer the batter to your bundt pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the glaze:
Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice to get a thick icing that drops in mounds (you don't want it too runny or it will just run right off–I did this the first time).
With the cake still on a rack, pour the icing evenly over the top of the cake, letting it run down the sides.
Day 10: Truffles
Today's treat is not baked, but very tasty and easy to make. It amazes me sometimes how much we are willing to pay for chocolate truffles when it's not terribly hard to make them at home.
The thing that makes these so easy is that they are rolled in a coating and not dipped in tempered chocolate. Tempering chocolate is a tricky business that involves quite a bit of precise temperature regulating. If you eliminate that step, though, you get a treat that even kids can make.
In fact, that's just what my kids did yesterday and today. They each chose a flavor for their truffles. One chose peppermint and the other mexican chocolate.
I was busy shuttling back and forth between the two of them so there are no pictures of the chocolate mixing process. The recipe I used can be found in Dorie Greenspan's book, Baking Chez Moi. However, there's lots of similar recipes out there if you want to try them.
Rolling the ganache into balls was messy, but it doesn't really matter if they are done evenly because it all looks good in the end after they are rolled in their coatings. The peppermint ones got rolled in ground up white chocolate, while the Mexican ones got a cocoa powder/cinnamon/chili powder coating.
Because these are not coated with tempered chocolate, they have to be stored in the fridge. They taste better if you leave them out for a while to warm up, though. The boys are planning to give some of their truffles away as gifts to their friends. That's only if we don't eat them all first!
I'll be sure to include a few in the Christmas Treat box that I am giving away in just a few days. Be sure to leave a comment to be included in the drawing. (If you need the rules, here they are. Tell me about your favorite chocolate. My favorite chocolates to eat are from Chuao. They have a passionfruit truffle that is really yummy!

I have been through some pretty atrocious hockey before.
At 36, I have lived through some really, really, REALLY deplorable (I have to use that word right now because why not – everyone is, right?) hockey with the New York Islanders. Post 94, the years prior, Spano and the Gang of Four, Milbury….the beginning, middle and now maybe the end of Garth Snow.
I have even been fortunate enough to cover the team during the leanest of times. Filling rosters out with has-beens, never will-be's and hopeful reclamation projects that never came to fruition, or worse – would only come around after they leave Long Island. Coaching changes….I have to laugh – I covered them through four.
In between all of that negative, I have witnessed some REALLY good stuff too. I was there for the Bates penalty shot, my time covering the team from 2007-2011, Al Arbour Night/Day, numerous Core of the Four Celebrations, I judged a High Five Competition with Benoit Hogue, Three Entry Drafts – the biggest being Tavares. There's a lot more I have to write about, but there will be time for that.
Maybe its fitting, firing up my blog now a season and a half before Tavares makes the biggest decision of his career. Will he stay, or will he go?
But to the present, a rather ominous one.
What will change what we are seeing? We have a rudderless team that cannot seem to string together good hockey no matter how hard they try. They give up goals early, late – actually in 7 of 19 games according to Staple of Newsday.
But then you look to coaching.
Management has given the staff a vote of confidence and the new ownership has given a vote of confidence towards management. Great – but why? We just passed American Thanksgiving, a "deadline" of sorts typically for teams to either be IN the postseason or out – and the Islanders are way out. Dead last out.
We've allowed some key guys to leave via free-agency, and that happens to everyone. But the Islanders seem to always have a knack for signing guys who – I don't know, don't do their part to replace missing pieces or they are the wrong pieces in general?
Paging Andrew Ladd? You're a notorious slow starter apparently, but you just signed a pretty fat deal my friend – its time you showed up.
Tavares now has no goals in 9 games. NINE.
We are an absolute disaster up and down the roster, but only because we have a coach who refuses to utilize his team to their individual strengths. The Islanders are said to be a possession team, but yet if you watch them play – they dump and chase, often never even regaining control of the puck. In my eyes this is an anti-possession style. They lack the size and tenacity they did to bang along the boards – yet they still try to accomplish that type of play as well.
Something, perhaps everything – is broken, but we're not seeing change. The only change we see is young players often being scratched for the wrong reasons – and lip service about where they will be playing, especially at a natural position.
I don't know entirely enough about advanced stats – but I do know this; giving up leads and mis-matching your lines or not shortening your bench late in a game is a recipe for disaster. That is clearly evident here.
At what point does a fanbase deserve change? We have new ownership that is seemingly sitting on their hands and has not been as vocal as they have been previously. It's to stand up and address us Mr. Malkin and Mr. Ledecky.
Today is Black Friday, and another loss has given this once storied franchise another reason to wear a black eye.
Signing off now, before I say some things i'll regret..
Posted by Michael Schuerlein on 24 Apr 2016 | Tagged as: Gameday, General, Opinion, Playoffs
The 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs have progressed nicely in Brooklyn, and I can say that I am fortunate enough to have attended Games 3 and 4. Today, I will be attending Game 6 as well. While the transition to Brooklyn hasn't been the smoothest, the Playoff transition has gone a little easier.
The Islanders and the Barclays have taken a few different steps to make sure that the arena is a little more like home. From league and team logos to the atmosphere in general – it all feels better. They've even spent a great deal of attention to the quality of the ice sheet – which is a story for another blog.
Along the way, we have witnessed another 100 point season and various lengths of strong and not-so strong play (some would say typical of the Islanders). We have made new memories with a Game 3 OT winner by Thomas Hickey and rallied behind the team as they tried to come back again in Game 4. It was loud in Brooklyn, dare I say almost as loud as it was at times at the Coliseum.
More importantly, we have forged some new traditions as well.
During my lifetime, I was never more than 25 traffic lights from the Old Barn. The travel to the Coliseum was always easy (unless there was a bunch of traffic on Hempstead Turnpike). That changed a bit when I moved into Eastern Suffolk, but I still made it a point to get to as many games as I could. During the Playoffs, we had the parking lot and the amazing tradition of tailgating and all the fun that came with that. We went out with a bang before the Barn Doors slammed shut after that thrilling Game 6 win over the Capitals.
This year, I made it to TWO regular season games – for various reasons. Those were my first two experiences with the Barclays, we'll call it a dry run for the Playoffs. With those two trips, I adapted to the change.
It may not be the most ideal of situations, but the train ride to Brooklyn's Atlantic Terminal has become the new tailgate experience. I've met a bunch of wonderful fans and had so many awesome Islanders conversations along the way. Coincidentally, I have run into many of the very fans I used to see regularly as a season ticket holder and friends outside of the Isles that I have not seen in a few years.
And then, you have Brooklyn itself.
In the immediate areas around the Barclays – there are a ton of really fun places to spend an hour or two in prior to the puck drop. We've adopted KBH on St Marks as the pre-game venue of choice, a short two block walk to and from the arena.
In the end, the Barclays is not and never will be that "home" just a few traffic lights away from where I grew up, but it's slowly becoming the home of Islanders hockey. Even if that home requires counting train stations.
Let's make it loud tonight, just like it was 4 years ago to the day of that Shawn Bates penalty shot against Toronto.

We all know how well the Islanders played and protected leads last season, but it's with growing confidence I can say that may be a thing of the past.
The ice at the Barclays Center looked the same as it has the last few games – slow, soft and slushy. I understand that the arena personnel there are new to this ice maintainence routine and that the arena is like MSG with a lot of events, but this is a situation that bears watching long term.
There were a few positive takeaways from the game however – the Islanders were fairly physical against their opponent, out hitting them 43-33. At times the Isles did what made them so successful last season, were strong on the forecheck and puck retrieval. Three of their four goals came off plays where they forechecked hard, either causing a turnover or kept the play in the zone and were able to score off rebounds or plays down low.
Surprisingly, both teams were even in draws, but watching I felt that the Islanders were the weaker of two teams.
The Islanders had scoring from all kinds of players – their first line combined for 5 points (Lee with Goal, Assist – Tavares Goal, Assist and Strome Assist) the second line, also with 5 points (Okposo Goal, Grabovski 2 Assists, Kulemin Goal, Nelson Assist). All told the Islanders had 8 different players on the scoresheet, not too bad offensively. When you have two lines going, it's going to be harder to stop you.
Some negatives, the Isles seemed to scramble in their own zone at times. Zidlicky tried to clear the puck from the crease and hit the post, scoring on his own net. There was also a few occasions where they could not clear the crease in front of Greiss, which was evident on the third goal. The Islanders felt there was contact by a Predator player in the crease and used a coaches challenge for the first time this season, but were unsuccessful in their case. While this burned their timeout, the team got an extended rest during the review process – so it was a smart gamble by Capuano. It's something we could see more of in those situations throughout the season for sure. Lastly, Brian Strait – paired with Zidlicky. That's all I need to say there.
Ultimately, this was a confidence builder for the Islanders – a strong team came to town and the Islanders played them well enough to win even though it wasn't their best performance. The season is still young, but it's games like this that will matter come April. They face a similar opponent in the San Jose Sharks tomorrow night, they need to play a stronger, more physical game – if they want to come away with two more points.
Posted by Michael Schuerlein on 14 Oct 2015 | Tagged as: General, Injuries, News
Reports out of practice this morning, by both Artur Staple and the New York Islanders have goaltender Jaroslav Halak and defenseman Thomas Hickey practicing with the full squad.
Hickey, who's been nursing a finger fracture and Halak a mysterious upper body type injury – have missed the first three games for the Islanders, including the Barclays Home Opener.
While the Isles have made due without both of these players, having your number one net minder and a key pivot on the back end close to returning can only help. That's not to say Greiss hasn't played well in his two starts, posting a respectable .915 save percentage and a 2.46 goals against average.
The Islanders certainly bounced back after their second game against the Blackhwaks with a strong, spirited matinee win over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday.
I've only gotten to see highlights of the last two games, but it looks like the team is on the right path, I'll reevaluate after Thursday's matchup with the 3-0 Predators when they come to town.

When you've been a fan of a team for what amounts to a lifetime of ups and downs, there's always a lot of optimism following a strong season. One playoff win away from advancing in the playoffs, a strong and emotional send off to your old arena, and of course – the continued development of your youth, and core. In years past, opening night – especially the Home Opener meant great and exciting things for me. I'd drive down Hempstead Turnpike, fighting traffic lights and rush-hour to sit in my season long seats in Section 309, or make my way up to the press box to cover the game. But that's all behind me these days, as much as it's still an exciting time.
As I sit and reminisce about those days, I pass the old barn, it's colorful exterior advertisements removed and the emptiness of the building and parking lot ring out like the new and failed goal horn of the Barclays Center. The what ifs, the government failures and flat out lies – the disappointment that the team is now a Brooklyn resident instead of a Nassau one. But I digress, they're still in New York.
This blog has been dark for a long time, my life has changed quite a bit since I started it almost 10 years ago. I moved to Eastern Suffolk, got married and started a family. There's been a lot I could've written about here and have been called out by some in the mainstream media to start writing again (I'm looking at you Katie and Peter…) – so here I am.
I'll eventually post up my experience of the final regular season home game in April and the awesomeness that was the series against the Washington Capitals. In a way maybe I wasn't ready to let go of the old feelings just yet, but it's time to move on.
Tonight marks the beginning of a new era, Traditions New Home as the Yomark folks say. I'm excited to see how much the team has grown from their game seven loss last season.
Tonight will be different though, as I won't be in the press box at the Barclays, I won't be in my seats at the game and I won't be riding the LIRR to the game (but you never know if I manage to write with any regularity…). Instead I'll be in front of my brand new TV, taking part in the discussion on Twitter (@islesblogger) and taking notes as I always have for my eventual return to writing.
The venue may have changed, but Islanders hockey is back – as much as it may still be different, this time.
Posted by Michael Schuerlein on 18 Mar 2015 | Tagged as: General, Opinion, Rant
It's one thing to watch idly as fans when a team begins to falter after months on top, it's something completely different as a player in the room – I'm sure….
There's a large contingent of fans who never get to experience the frustration a player experiences as they step off the ice, the scowl on their face, the expletives they spew as they slam sticks or equipment down or the blank stares of disgust as they sit in the stall of their locker. Instead, television interviews expertly crafted show almost nothing but positive thoughts and statements. Some players, allow a bit of their feelings to slip through, allowing you a glimpse of their human nature and inject a level of realism into the post game.
What I've grown tired of this season, the LAST in Nassau Coliseum – a season that matters MOST to a large percentage of the fanbase; everything is status quo.
The 2014-2015 New York Islanders have literally kicked tail for stretches of the season, but have now lost four consecutive games for the first time all year. They find themselves stuck in a rut, sliding down the standings to teams who have multiple games in hand and yet remarkedly they're holding their ground in the division – for now. They're failing miserably on the power play, and even strength in the goal scoring department and their most lethal offensive threats are nowhere to be seen, guilty of trying to do too much of anything – trying to do something.
We look to coaching, but honestly – without being a fly on the wall we can only speculate as to what is said or what adjustments are or aren't made.
I like how the players are quoted as believing they can get through this tough time, use positive and playful antics to keep the mood light – I do. But when it comes down to it on the ice, do stuff. I said those exact words on Twitter.
Do stuff.
When the team has been great, they've been fast, strong, smart and brutally physical. When was the last time someone stood up for someone? Tavares continues to get frustrated by slashes, hacks or late little hits and has been taking some penalties because of that. Nelson gets head butted last night, and as much as I didn't watch the game – I didn't see anything about someone taking exception to this.
Forecheck. The Islanders were relentless earlier this year on the forecheck. Get the puck deep, bang bodies, chip the puck and wear the opposition down. What happened is goals. Lots of them. They've done away with this because of injuries, but that's no reason to stop completely. They have more than enough people capable of speed and causing turnovers. Stop being so stationary and focusing on the same players who get drawn double and triple coverage.
I know that this team is hurting and are missing key guys – but the bottom line is there are players who need to step up, take the body to make a play and skate. Skate like there's no tomorrow – because at the end of the day, with ten games remaining, your clock is ticking.
Hit. Take hits. Use your speed. Quick, crisp passes. Get the puck deep and make the opposition pay.
I've still got hope, but I expect more out of this bunch. Show me the heart on the ice to back up what you say in print.
Don't let us down. Not now and not in April.

I made it to the game on Tuesday night, the first time this season. Not that I haven't wanted to go earlier, I have been crazy busy during this shortened season.
From the second we pulled up to the parking, you knew that hockey was back on Long Island. Yes, it's been back since January when the lockout ended – but it's BACK these days. We sat in traffic just to pay for parking and had to park near Hempstead Turnpike do to the turnout. The last time that happened was my first as a season ticket holder, in 2006-2007.
It was a beautiful night Tuesday night, so many fans did as they always have during early and late season games – they tailgated. There was a buzz among the crowd, an hour before the puck was even dropped!
Inside, fans were just as plentiful – a far cry from some of the earlier games this season.

When Eric Hornick updated his awesome blog with the latest Skinny on the Isles loss to the Senators last night, one glaring stat stuck out like a sore thumb. 42.
No, it's not the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything actually yes it is, but read on! It's the total of third period goals allowed, which owns the title of most in the NHL. Perhaps the Islanders never have those handy towels ready. Ok, that was the last unavoidable reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galazy, but not towards the frustrating New York Islanders.

Fortunately for the team, they had a rare four days off in between the Pittsburgh game and their game in Tampa against Stamkos and the Lightning and outworked them to a 2-0 victory on Thursday. The break afforded much needed rest for the team, as well as Evgeni Nabokov who's been used in most of the teams games thus far.
Tonight's game in Sunrise Florida against the struggling Panthers is a pivotal game for the Isles. Why is this? Let's take a look at the standings for a second.

I'm back from Sunny Florida, as I am sure you may have seen if you follow me on Twitter!
I had a great time on our trip, a lot of exciting things happened – but now that I am back it's back to business.
Unfortunately, I couldn't watch any of the games while I was away. I did catch one period of the Ottawa game last Sunday (a really bad stream online), but the rest I caught bits and pieces of via the WRHU iOS app.
On to the good stuff.
The Islanders will be completing a seven game homestand this afternoon against the Capitals and are 2-0-2 in their last four. To have points in four straight is a huge accomplishment for this team at home, as they have had major struggles in front of their own fans. The team is one game below NHL .500 and only a few points out of the final playoff spot with 24 games remaining.

The Islanders are set to take on the Boston Bruins tonight on their second of seven games on home ice. This home ice is in an arena once dubbed "Fort Never-Lose", but these days it's the quite opposite "Fort Never-Win" brandishing a 2-7-0 record at home.
Hopefully, Team A shows up, as this game is nationally broadcast.
Posted by Michael Schuerlein on 22 Feb 2013 | Tagged as: General, News, Post Game
In any case – the Islanders were victorious North of the Border in Montreal last night, but it was a tale of three teams. I'm almost certain that you read the title and said – "Eh? THREE teams Mike?".
Yes, three.

Volunteers from teens to senior citizens will meet at the Hot Metal Diner on Route 885, West Mifflin, to prove a point: we can all come together to celebrate our community and the âPay it Forwardâ movement, doing good deeds and asking only that others will do the same.
Community pride is alive and well in the borough of West Mifflin and across the state, as shown by the army of workers who will demonstrate their enthusiasm by bringing along garden tools and a lot of energy to plant scores of flowers in an island strip of almost 1000 feet in length.
Wendy Betten of Hot Metal Diner [http://www.hotmetaldiner.com/] fame has organized the effort in cooperation with a number of business owners and residents who share in the belief that community pride is demonstrated by example.
"Some of those who have donated time and effort to make this happen," she said, âinclude Mayor John Andzelik, former police officer Richard Fialkovich, the owners of Hot Metal Harley Davidson and the owners of Oriental Gardens. Without their support this community effort might never have materialized."
Many West Mifflin residents will attend, but EVERYONE is encouraged to join in our project.
If the parking lot is full, please beep your horns. We'll know you support our cause and our message.
REMEMBER TO PAY IT FORWARD! Visit: [http://www.hotmetaldiner.com/]

Moving quickly from our #2 quarterback to our #3 quarterback, a very winnable game for the Packers became a nightmare.

Many of us tend to question the old myth that we need 8 cups of water a day to stay functioning and supple in our life. I looked further into this theory and this is what I discovered:
- Urine output accounts for about 1.5 liters of fluid each day
- You lose 4 cups of water by the simple body functions of breathing, sweating and the prayerful bowel movements
- If you engage in short bouts of activity (such as showing off at the gym) – add on another 1.5 – 2.5 cups of water
- Women who are breastfeeding need to add another 1 liter of water a day to account for the fluid that makes up their breast milk
- When you are sick and have a fever, your body is naturally losing more water to try to stay cool and your water intake needs to be higher simply to help 'cool off' your internal system
- If you live in a hotter climate your water loss through your skin is even greater
Knowing that our body literally removes about 2.5 liters (or 10 cups) of water each day it makes sense how the theory came to be.
The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume about 3 liters (or 12 cups) of water each day and women consume 2.2 liters (or about 9 cups) of water each day. Remember too that the average persons body weight is about 60-70% body water.
So if you are like many who struggle to get water in here is a tip:
- Find ways to decorate water – a cold pitcher in the fridge with cut up lemons, oranges, grapefruit, raspberries or kiwi's can be a big hit
- Carry a water bottle with you at all times
- Focus on getting in more water rich fruit
According to 'the fruit pages' the highest percent of water containing garden produce is: Tomatoes, strawberries, carrots, lemons, red pepper, papaya, melons and grapefruit.
I think that calls time for a fruit salad!

The proof is in the pictures!
We had a tremendous time at the Annual Tualatin Valley Rock and Gem Club December Banquet this year.
Here's to even more fun next year. Think that's possible?
Tualatin Valley Rock and Gem Club
Educational group representing rock, gem, and mineral enthusiasts on the west side Portland, Oregon.
I'd like to share with you the story behind the making of our new Tualatin Valley Rock and Gem Club Member of the Year Trophy. Many hands went into the process and all need more recognition than this, so please take a moment to thank them at our meetings and club activities for going out of their way on this project.
Conceived, designed and built in 2013, this one-of-a-kind trophy was intended to personify the many aspects of our club and to create a way to acknowledge members that donate significant time and energy. It is anticipated that new and old members alike will view winning this trophy as a goal and be inspired to help the club as much as possible throughout the year, making the club a place to be enjoyed by all.
Winners keep the trophy for one year. Then, at our annual award banquet in December it is brought back for display to be passed on to the new Member of the Year voted on by Club member secret ballot in November. Continue reading "TVRGC Member of the Year Trophy"
July really drives home that it's summer. Long hot sunny days make us want to be outside exploring, traveling and enjoying the delights of living in Oregon. And for our July regular meeting, we're going to do all that plus throw in a picnic too. Yes, it's time for our annual picnic at the Rice Museum
Date: Thursday, July 9th. This is our regular meeting night, but we will meet at the Rice Museum.
Trailer repair Continue reading "July 2015 Presidents Message"
Our annual club picnic is coming up next month. It is scheduled for July 24th, 2014, which is a regularly scheduled club meeting date (4th Thursday of the month) and will be at the Rice Museum.
Plan on setting up at 5 and we'll eat at 6. The museum will stay open to allow you to tour, so bring the family and a friend or two.
This year, Taylor Hunt will be grillmaster. Be sure to offer him some assistance if you can. The picnic is a potluck, with the club providing a main dish like burgers (I don't know what he's planning yet, so it might be chili or chicken), buns, bottled water and coffee. Members are asked to bring a side dish to share and also bring your own plates/bowls, utensils (including ones for your shared dish) and a round table cloth would be a nice touch too.
The museum only has about 70 chairs and around 20 tables, so if you can bring a table and a few chairs, that would be helpful.
Also, we will be holding a silent auction to raise some money to cover costs for the shin-dig. If you can bring some jewelry, slabs or rough along with a written note as to what the material is, along with any info on it's history and value, that would be appreciated.
I need some volunteers to help set up the auction tables. Please let me know if you can help with that.
Last Saturday we gathered at the FG Senior Center in anticipation of our first field trip of the year. The men told stories of past hunts and mother load finds while the newbies listened raptly and the old timers nodded. Yes… this was going to be a trip to the promised land of treasure hunting. A real adventure.
Our Field Trip Chairman, Brian True, passed around a sign in sheet and explained some of the rules. No digging in the creek bed, sign out before leaving and be out by 4 PM when the gate would be closed and locked again. There were other details, but those were the important ones. Then, at 8 AM sharp, we began our caravan to Clear Creek.
More members were waiting at the entrance when we arrived. The gate was opened, and we all drove in. At the first large clearing, we stopped and had another rules review and sign-in for everyone who wasn't at the parking lot earlier. Brian did a great job and was clear and thorough about what to do, where to go and when to be out. He really took charge of things, and with the help of his dad, Dave, the day went great. Poor Dave though… he was often called away from the dig sites to check on the gates. It seems they were being locked by loggers, who were still working in the area. When they would leave, they would lock the gate behind themselves (like they always did). Dave spent a good portion of his day making sure no one was locked in. Thanks, Dave. Continue reading "Field Trip to Clear Creek Saturday, 13 April"
Please join us for the Annual TVGC Christmas Banquet and Raffle, Saturday, December 1, 2012. We'll have a turkey and ham buffet at the Forest Grove Senior and Community Center (Map) in Forest Grove, Oregon.
The ticket price is $10 per person and the money raised from this and the raffle goes to support the Tualatin Valley Rock and Gem Club educational programs and activities.
Please contact us or buy your ticket at the next meeting to ensure a place at the table.
If you would like to bring anything to donate for the raffle, please let us know or bring it to the banquet that night.
Thanks to Alice Hoskins and Mary White for helping to put this together this year.
We will be having a picnic for club members and families August 8, 2012, at the Rice Northwest Museum in the back lawn and garden area. It is a potluck and begins at 4PM with the meeting then social time.
Please bring lawn chairs and folding tables for food and sitting.
Don't forget your sun lotion!

Welcome to Winterfest !!!
Winterfest is a Tennessee Episcopal Youth Retreat which provides a welcoming and safe space for high school students (grades 9th - 12th) to grow in their relationship with God and Christ through creative worship, service, music, love, friendship and understanding. It has served Episcopal youth across Tennessee since the 1990's, unifying youth from all over the state to live, play, talk, eat, sing and worship together as a community of faith.

CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs pitcher Matt Garza will not come off the disabled list to pitch against the St. Louis Cardinals this weekend.
Garza, who was retroactively placed on the 15-day DL on May 18 with a right elbow contusion, will throw a bullpen session on Wednesday, and if all goes well he will throw another on Saturday in St. Louis.
The Cubs were hoping Garza, who is eligible to come off the DL on Friday, would be able to pitch against the Cardinals this weekend.
Garza reported no pain after throwing from flat ground before Monday's game against the Houston Astros at Wrigley Field.
"Everything felt great," Garza said Monday. "Obviously [I] won't be able to test [my arm] 100 percent until game time, but right now I feel great."
Garza, who has not thrown since May 17 in Cincinnati when he went six innings in a no-decision, has a 3.72 ERA and leads the National League with 10.99 strikeouts per nine innings. He is the third member of the Cubs' starting rotation to hit the disabled list this season.
The Cubs rotation for their weekend series against the Cardinals will be Ryan Dempster on Friday, Randy Wells on Saturday and Carlos Zambrano on Sunday.
Bruce Levine covers the Cubs for ESPNChicago.com and ESPN 1000.

When the oongregation of St. John's Episcopal church gather for divine worship this morning one if not two of the leading voieoa will be missed. Henry Ahl, tho leading tenor, has thrown np his position in the office of the Ameriean Pin company, resigned bis positiou in Ihe ohoir. and at present is in New York, where he expects to remain. He left his home and position in anger, ond. it is not improbablo that Mrs. Ahl, who is also a loidingjnember of tbe same ehoir, bnvi'jg a fine BopranO voice, will likewise sever her oounecti-jn with that iMxIy, now that the story of th) second Bepar.ition has bbcomo a matter of public comment.

In p eF iirn a 'w ifk ' ley were married first some foar years ago and lived happily iat iwo yesn. A brii'bl pretty dangbter was.bom to them but Mrs. Ahl Iparued from her brother one day that Henry, in company with several yonng f«».'low8 of his own a^>, and who b.donged to tbe same siuging and soci^ societies, while out on a lark had visited a qnestiocable re- SOJt. Bef-re lliis she ha«l been accustomed fo !>ri?tliug i'lto i'jalons rages whenever Hesry iu his musical conncctiousp:iid more tlian civil atteutioa to any of the yonng 1>uly singers, bnt this time there wasawildoatbreak, aud Mrs. Ahl left tho l\oRS'»"jind Instituted a snit for divorce. Tho divorce was granted nnd Mrs. Alil r 'snai'd her miiden name. Bnt tkc oM love w.is still nlirc in the oreasls of both. They wore singing iu tho same choir aud oonseqnently were thrown together n grokt deal, and It was only natural that Uic old quarrel sbonld be forgotten and the courtship was begun again. Aliont a year ago tliey decided to try married life aeiin, and the ceremony performe<l three years before, wa< repeated and Mr. and Mrs. Ahl seemed to bo as happy as anv newly-married couple in tlie oily. Everything went along smoothly and both were receiving con-eratnlatipni on tliehr iiappy state nntil Sfrs. Ah! again commenecd her jealous suspicion*. A week ago Thursday nicht the " I ^ gal Wreck" company was playing here. Among the members was Daisy Hall, who was lahl off that night, and to pass tlie evening away called at the Amphion Singing society's rooms to listen to the rch< arsal. Among tliose present was Henry I'ln-cu. «, a gre.1 t friend of Henry Ahl's, wlio at one time had been on the st.ige himself. As soon as Miss Hall entercil the room she recognized him and was overjoyed at meeting him. After tbe rehearsal was over and Miss Hall wai ia-trodnce «1. she suggested that they woald jnst havo thno to see the last of the " liTgaJ Wreck." • A party of fonr started over, and Mr. Pincns a:trd «.s Miss Hall's escort. Tbe party occnpied a box and broke np after the show. That night Henry Ahl and Hugh Pen-diebnry were at work nntil 10 o'clock on the liooks in the Pin shop office. On leaving tho shop Henry starteii off for William Miller s, where be met several of tlie Amphion club and they all started for the cInb rooms, where (hey remaine«l nntil 13 o'clock. Henry then slarted for liome. I>t-t Monday night Henry Ahl ami Henry Pincnrn asiistetl at Harry Woodman's b<>nefit at the Sterling onera lKMi>e. Birningbam. Mrs. Ahl accompanied them and enjoyed the performance very mueb. and was the recipient of many conrntnUtiotts on her husband's lalent and fine stage appear-aaee. They retnmed home Ihe next lay as hsppy as conld be, and Henry after K-vding his wife home in a hack, started for tbe factory. At noon he went home and evrntiiiog wa< ss pleasant as eould be when ho M l for the sh'.'p in tbe afternoon. Two boms tf(«r happened the tiunble that eraaed the diniwr ToMday, Mr*.

She would not tell her a»toui<(hed husband what was the matter, but persintod in saying thkt aho knew every thing and she now had him where slio wanted him. Mr. Pen-difbnry tried to quiet her nnd iia induced her to go iuto tbe telephone room when she (old him wliat Mrs. WUIis told her. He toKI her that it was uot true as Henry had worked with him in (be offico (hat night until 10 o'clock. Mm. Ahl would not believe him and accnred bim of being in a l<>agne with her husband and trying to shelter him. At that moment Heniy Pincus enlered. He was astonished Ml the scene and after some persuasion induced her to tell bim the story. When she did he declared that it was he that was Jn the box in the o pm liouae that night, and she ex-pl- «ined tbe eironmstaneo*, but this only seemed to anger aud excite her all the more acd she thought be waa in lesgne with her husband. Her hnsband's denials ooJly aggravated her more and sbe left for home in a terrible rage. That night when Henry went home there was no snpper. A row followed and he left tbe house. The next morning T. I. Driggs, tbe president of the Pin company, heard of (he row in the office and in a conversation with Henry sai'1 some things that he has since regrette.l. Thisi, coming on with bis domestio tronblrs,was tbe last straw aud Heniy at onoa handetl in h's resignation and detetmined to leave (own.

New Department of Energy and Privately Funded Research Will Help Meet U.S. Energy Demand and Lower Costs for Consumers
SUGAR LAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA) announced today that eight proposals have been selected for negotiations leading to an award under the Ultra-Deepwater (UDW) Program. This program is focused on increasing the supply of natural gas and other petroleum resources in the U.S. in an environmentally responsible way.
"The 2007 Ultra-Deepwater Program is designed to bring the resources of America's leading universities, research institutions and technology innovators to bear on reducing costs, increasing efficiency, improving safety, and minimizing environmental impacts of domestic production," said RPSEA President C. Michael Ming. "Accelerating the time to first production and building the intellectual capability in the research community for these strategically important resources is vital to meet the nation's energy needs."
The selected projects will address the specific technology and architecture needs required in water depths greater than 1,500 meters. These substantial but challenging resources require a complex and integrated systems approach where the time from first discovery to first production can range from 6 to 9 years and individual well costs can exceed 100 million dollars.
While awards under the RPSEA Ultra-Deepwater Program are open to any U.S.-based organization, most projects involve a team consisting of researchers along with producers or service companies that are in a position to evaluate and apply new technology. Each proposal must provide a minimum of 20% cost share, with up to 50% for field demonstration projects. The selected projects are:
