Not a typical Country Inn & Suites that caused me to pick this joint. It's not easy to mess up a stay as well as this place did. The hotel was a simple stopping point on a return trip to Dallas. It was a typical clean no frills room. And that's when the noise started. It was windy out and... More

Each week, Patch takes a peek at some of the more surprising, shocking, stunning and occasionally silly police-related incidents reported throughout New Jersey for "OMGs from NJ PDs."
Some of this week's reports:
From the Mouths of Babes: It's bad enough when someone breaks into a school. But Belleville police say someone not only did that—the perp stole an American flag and a bunch of kids' juice boxes. One has to wonder how much Hi-C even goes for on the black market. Not anything watered down. The good stuff.
You Say Potato: Things Not To Do: Touch yourself inappropriately in public. Make unsolicited sex remarks to people. Urinate on yourself. Do much worse than urinating on yourself. The alternate title for this list: Instructions a Sex Offender from Newark Should Have Thought Twice About Before Heading to Kinnelon and Trying on a Dress at a Mandee Store, Judging by the Police Department's Account. But that was too long.
A Textbook Robbery: Bloomfield police say a woman used her smarts, and her text message allotment, to get back her stolen property. After someone snatched her purse (with her phone inside) at a supermarket, the woman sent a text to her own phone, reading "the police have your picture on video," police said. The supermarket's manager said someone returned the purse just a few minutes later.
Emergency ... or Not: South Brunswick police say they were trying to pull over a North Brunswick man, but he just wouldn't stop. And the man called dispatch, police said, to let them know it was because he had an emergency at home. But when police finally caught up to him? According to South Brunswick Police spokesman Sgt. Jim Ryan, the man "explained that he knew he had outstanding warrants and the car was unregistered. ... His only emergency was that he did not want to be stopped by the police."

As reported last week colleagues in the US - BPPP, Desiree Alliance & SWOP-NYC / SWANK have made a written submission for inclusion in the annual TIP report. The TIP report is intended to illustrate how the United States and foreign governments comply with the "minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking in persons" that are prescribed by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000.
Their comprehensive written submission highlights how anti-trafficking policies have resulted in violence and discrimination against sex workers, the negative impact of 'end demand' approaches and how restrictions on funding (such as the 'Anti-Prostitution Loyalty Oath') hinder anti-trafficking intiatives by excluding sex worker rights projects.
You can read much more on the BPPP website here and read their full (11 page PDF) submission here.

The International Labour Organization hosted an important seminar at IAC 2012 in Washington DC, which included participation from sex workers at the Kolkata SWFF Hub.
The session was entitled A Labour Rights Approach to HIV and Sex Work: Working with Sex Workers to Protect Human Rights, Prevent and Eliminate Violence and Sexual Harassment and Promote Equal Access to Protection Schemes.
ILO made clear the UN believes sex work is regarded as work under the definition provided in Recommendation 200 and that sex workers should be afforded the same rights and protections as other workers.

Kolkata, 19 July 2012: With over 550 representatives of Sex Workers Collectives from across the world arriving for the first-ever Global Hub of the International AIDS Conference hosted and co-hosted by Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee, Global Network of Sex Workers (NWSP) and All India Network of Sex Workers (AINSW) respectively, "the time has come to deliberate the many violations and privations the sex workers community is facing in different parts of the world" stated Dr Jana, the chair. "This Conference which has been, for the last 25 years, a three-way dialogue between the scientists/planners, the people living with HIV and the most at risk communities has been thwarted for the first time by the U.S. Government," he added.
Andrew Hunter, the President of NWSP, the Global Sex Workers Network said, "with the US now leading the fight for Lesbian, Gay and transgender equality we are extremely disappointed that they refuse to revise their restrictions on sex workers and refuse to recognise that we are human beings with basic rights."
Ruth Morgan Thomas, the Global Coordinator of NSWP said "it is essential that sex workers be able to self organise in order to stop the AIDS epidemic and yet again the US Government prohibits funds being given to sex worker organisations, the most effective HIV prevention strategy, through the anti-prostitution pledge included in all donor contracts."
Affirming this, M Bhagyalakshmi, president of the All India Network of Sex Workers (AINSW) stated that "the 5-day Global Hub will deliberate on the "Seven Freedoms" –the right to move, work, access to healthcare, participate, organise, be free of violence and discrimination - without which the community of sex workers cannot reduce their vulnerability to HIV."
"The Sex Workers will strive to release the Kolkata Declaration which will be a platform that enables us to reclaim the rights that are due to us," she added.
The INDOORS project produced this video 'Equal Rights' to advocate for sex workers' rights.
The video is available for free download in 17 languages here.
This video was made with and for sex workers in order to make people aware that sex work is work and that sex workers should be entitled to the same rights as other workers.
Following on from KayThi Win's speech at the AWID forum in April, Realitycheck.org have published this article . The author, Chi Mgbako, illustrates:
'Women's rights advocates who view all people in prostitution as "slaves" and make no distinction between those trafficked into prostitution and consenting adult sex workers who are in the trade by choice or circumstance often advocate for anti-sex trafficking policies that harm adult sex workers.'
Chi ends the article with a clear plea that 'the women's rights movement should not embrace policies that harm female, male, and transgender sex workers.'

Update - 9 p.m.:
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell issued the following statement this evening regarding Governor Mitt Romney's primary win in Virginia.
"With today's victory in Virginia, Mitt Romney has again demonstrated that his bold and conservative plan to get spending under control, make government smaller and more efficient, and help the private sector create good paying jobs is resonating all across America," he said.
"He is winning primaries in every region of this country, from New Hampshire to Nevada, and today Governor Romney has added the Commonwealth of Virginia to the list. Voters know that Mitt Romney is a strong, principled, results-oriented conservative who will bring people together to get our economy back on track and Americans back to work. He is a leader. Mitt Romney has experience in both the private and the public sectors in providing the type of positive leadership that we desperately need in Washington. I look forward to doing all I can to help ensure that Mitt Romney is elected President this November, and we bring opportunity back to America."
Original story - 7:20 p.m. Tuesday, March 6
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney got the nod from Virginia primary voters Tuesday, according to very early returns and projections.
Romney faced Texas Congressman Ron Paul in Virginia's Republican presidential primary; former Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, both residents of Virginia, were not on the ballot.
Results are still coming in from precincts across the state.
In 2008, Virginia voters in the Republican primary selected Paul over Romney. Sen. John McCain won the state with 50.4 percent of the vote; Mike Huckabee received 40.7 percent; Paul received 4.5 percent and Romney received 3.7 percent. Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson were also on the ballot and each received less than 1 percent of the vote.
Voting Against Candidates
While some voters Tuesday voted in support of Romney or Paul, others simply voted against a specific candidate.
City of Falls Church resident David Westlake voted for Ron Paul Tuesday morning not because he fully supports the presidential candidate, but because the person he wanted to vote for wasn't on the ballot, he said.
"I like Ron Paul, but he wasn't my first choice," Westlake said Tuesday morning. "I'm just anti-Romney."
Tim Walsh, an Army veteran from Vienna, told Patch, "Obama is the singular most unqualified candidate to ever be elected president," he said. "I hope to get him out."
John Gonzalez of Fairfax Station was disappointed in his lack of options. "I didn't vote for anyone," Gonzalez told Patch. "I left it blank. I didn't like either candidate but I wanted to be on the record as having voted." Gonzalez said that he may have voted for an alternative candidate had more been listed on the ballot.
Others, however, did vote in support of a candidate.
Kathy Hirsch of Fort Hunt, voting Tuesday morning in the Hollin Hall precinct at the Hollin Hall Senior Center, voted for Romney. "I just feel like between the two [Romney and Paul], he's the best candidate right now for the Republican Party," she said.
Paul Latchford, 84, said he cast his vote at Sunrise Valley Elementary School in Reston for Mitt Romney. "I think Mitt Romney is the best man we have under the circumstances," said Latchford, who says he always votes Republican. "He is balanced, experienced and truthful."
Charles Burrow, a stay-at-home father of three children from the Lincolnia neighborhood near Annandale, voted for Ron Paul. "I think he would make a great president. I'm not thrilled with Romney," Burrow said.
Democrats, Independent Voters Participate
Some voters wondered whether Democrats and independent voters could sway the results in Virginia, which is one of fewer than 20 states that hold open primaries. It was not clear early in the evening how many Democrats and independent voters participated Tuesday.
"I voted for Ron Paul, even though I doubt he has a chance. In the fall, I'll probably end up voting for Obama because he's better than our other Republican choices," said one voter in Springfield who considered herself an independent but wished to remain anonymous.
In Michigan, which had its primary Feb. 28, last-minute robo-calls asked Democrats to vote for Rick Santorum. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won, but not by a huge margin.
Just before Tuesday's Virginia primary, on a Newt Gingrich forum, "Marianne for Newt" wrote: "… If you are a true Newt supporter, the best you can do is vote for Ron Paul and keep Romney from winning more delegates."
Low Turnout
Voter turnout was low, several Northern Virginia precincts reported.
Arlington County often sees high participation at its northern precincts. But that didn't happen Tuesday.
One key northern Arlington precinct saw fewer than 200 people turnout, for instance.
"We had some people who came out today and will always come to vote no matter what," said Julie Fiddick, chief of the Marshall Precinct. "Pushing 200 on a single-party primary when the full cohort of candidates is not on the ballot... It's interesting."
At 2:40 p.m. Tuesday, @FairfaxCounty tweeted turnout was at about 1 percent. By 5 p.m. turnout had risen to about 2 percent.
Around noon Tuesday, the City of Alexandria tweeted 3 percent voter turnout.
A quick sampling of area precincts by Fairfax County's chief election official, Cameron Quinn, saw a high of 123 voters at Silverbrook Elementary in Fairfax Station, just before noon, Quinn told Patch. The lowest reported to her was at Herndon's Hutchison Elementary, where 16 people had voted just before noon.
"I expect a poor turnout. With no real competition, many voters will conclude, 'Why bother?'" Mark J. Rozell, professor of Public Policy at George Mason University in Fairfax told Patch prior to Tuesday's primaries.
Anthony Bedell, chairman of the Fairfax County Republicans, agreed. "Turnout will be very low," he predicted.
Loretta Malander, a Herndon-area resident, spent her Super Tuesday serving as the precinct captain at Kinross precincts 908 and 909, at Oak Hill Elementary School.
Malander said she is disappointed there were only two candidates on today's ballot, and she thinks the rules for how to get on the ballot should be reconsidered. People want a choice, and it makes Virginia's primary seem insignificant in the scheme of things, she told Herndon Patch this afternoon.
The Chantilly Microcosm
A certain area of Chantilly south of Dulles airport called Walney Village has picked almost all the winners on both political sides for the past decade. The Rocky Run precinct, which includes Walney Village, had a turnout by mid-afternoon of about 3 percent.
Mary and Hampton Hoge, a couple living on Stone Pine Court, are Republicans who both voted for Paul, but they said they were mainly voting against Romney. They told Patch they aren't satisfied with any Republican candidate, but Paul represents more of their beliefs than Romney.
Results from the Rocky Run precinct are not yet available.
Romney Leads Nationally
The latest Gallup rolling five-day average of polls as of mid-day Tuesday showed Romney leading with 34 percent, followed by Rick Santorum at 24 percent, Newt Gingrich at 15 percent and Ron Paul at 12 percent, The Hill reported today.
Patch will update this story with the latest statistics throughout the evening.

That picture says, "Vote for me! I have the best hair!"
11:41 pm on Tuesday, March 6, 2012
LOL @ Mike. It was kind of interesting in having only two candidates to choose from for Republican U.S. Presidential nominee. I certainly didn't vote for Ron Paul, that's for sure.
8:29 am on Wednesday, March 7, 2012
The Governor refuses to admit that Romney is not a constitutional conservative. You cant be liberal here then conservative there. The only thing he will conserve is the status quo of the establishment which is retaining power under new management. Cap and trade,tariffs on China,favors bailouts "when needed" is not free market principles that make capitalism work. It would hurt average Americans by affording less goods and services.
Economic savior of a nation he is not.He is no Milton Friedman.
9:50 am on Wednesday, March 7, 2012
I have to assume that some Democrats held their nose and voted for Ron Paul, figuring he had even less chance of defeating Obama than Romney does.
Romney may be in touch with the wealthiest in McLean, but he is so out of touch with the average McLean citizen or American citizen. "Bet you $10,000!" or "My wife drives a couple of Cadillacs."
9:54 am on Wednesday, March 7, 2012
Romney is the best all around candidate. He can beat Obama and will do so in November. Obama has a record now: 1 million jobs taken from American citizens and given to aliens ( here on work visas). Anyone concerned about the high unemployment rate?
10:01 am on Wednesday, March 7, 2012
And there were no illegal aliens here under Bush? Actually Obama has done a better job at deporting illegal aliens than President Bush ever did during his 8 years.
10:31 am on Thursday, March 8, 2012
Why does the Obama Admin continue to issue 1 million work visas every year to aliens? How do you spell hypocrite? Obama. I am sure he will try to run against Bush again. No more excuses --- time for new leadership.
10:12 am on Wednesday, March 7, 2012
I wonder who is going to be Romney's VP choice?
Jack406, go somewhere else and post your off-topic partisan snipes. Your points are not even interesting.
11:55 am on Wednesday, March 7, 2012
Maybe Rush Limbaugh will be his VP candidate to lock up the Tea Party votes. After all Romney owns a major position in Bain Capital which owns Clear Channel Broadcasting which owns Rush. Maybe that's why Romney won't criticize Rush?
What do you think, Mike?
Kathy Keith
1:23 pm on Wednesday, March 7, 2012
Reminder: Bill Maher has donated $1million to Obama's PAC. Bill Maher has described women in far, far worse terms than Rush used. Has Obama condemned Maher? Go read Kirsten Power's column in The Daily Beast. There is a double standard.
Rush's comments were terrible and inexcusable. But, Maher's are worse. Obama condemned Limbaugh's comments--did he say anything about Maher?
The DNC chairman has described Republicans as having a "war on women"--yet the Democratic Party of Alabama has enlisted Maher for one of their fundraisers--$100 per ticket.
When Obama speaks for Maher, perhaps Romney can speak for Rush.
Again, Rush and Maher are both out of line.

Yes, Let's get behind the candidate with the mandated healthcare plan (sometimes), who is pro gay marrage (sometimes), pro choice (sometimes), one of the worst records of job creations of any state executive of his time, one who would have preferred a bankrupt American auto industry.
9:46 am on Thursday, March 8, 2012
Nice soundbite Jack!!! Remember who said, "In my adult life, I have never been proud of my country".
9:58 am on Thursday, March 8, 2012
You just said it, but I don't know anyone else who did. Are you sure you didn't mangle the quote?
10:36 am on Thursday, March 8, 2012
Obama to replace Joe Biden with Chaz Bono. That will put new energy into the campaign for all of his backers : student stooges, union goons, Sandusky supporters, and limo liberals.
10:52 am on Thursday, March 8, 2012
I mangled it a little but we know who said it. Not mentioning any names so I don't get deleted.
7:28 pm on Sunday, October 28, 2012
The real flip-flopper is Obama... Obama has done that so many times it's hard to keep track. He voted against increasing the debt limit, and then supported raising it. Campaigned against the Bush tax cuts, and then extended them. Promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term, and then doubled it. Vowed the unemployment rate would be below 8% if his stimulus was passed, but then it broke 10%. Only an artificial stimulus by the Federal Reserve now has it under 8%, barely. Promised shovel ready jobs, then admitted they weren't shovel ready. Said if you like your health plan you can keep it, but then threw seniors off Medicare Plus and employers are now saying they'll dump people onto the public exchange. Promised to have health care negotiations on live tv, but then reversed himself. Indicated Bush violated the Constitution, then carried out warrantless wiretaps, indefinite detentions, secret renditions,quadrupled drone attacks, and kept Guantanamo Bay open. Voted against the Patriot Act, but then supported its extension. Said lobbyists wouldn't work in the White House, then gave them waivers to work there. Vowed to take public financing for his 2008 campaign, then refused it when he realized he would receive more without it. Obama said his administration would be the most transparent in history. Yet his lies and coverup attempts on Benghazi are still at hand, while he tries to wait it out past the election.

What do you mean "you just can't throw players on the court"? They just finished playing 82 games. Did you miss the whole regular season? "No idea what they are doing"? I think someone else has no idea.
So another words we should just dress 5 players for the play offs because the starters are the only players with skillz. Even though most of the players on the bench have been playing basketball since they could walk. How ridiculous. It's a good thing there was an injury on the team Michael Jordan played for. He would have never got off the bench because he couldn't shoot a lick when he came in the league.
Down 2 to 1 to a young, tough, Philly team and everyone in here is ready to blow up the team. I'll check back here after Sunday's game.
Linwood, have you benn watching? This team is self destructing right before our eyes! It`s not just the fact that they are down 2-1, it`s how they got there. You have to admit, this is embarrasing as a fan, and it should be to the Piston orginization also.
Yep. I think it will be very difficult for the Pistons to rebound and win this series. All of the psychological factors are now favoring the 76ers and are working against the Pistons.
I have been watching. I agree that it's embarrasing to watch a team shoot over 60% and have a solid lead in the first half, only to shoot 20% and lose convincingly in the second. But... I've seen this all before. Many times before, and I'm going to wait until it's actually over to call it over.
Ok, remember, those Nets, Heat, Pacer teams were much better teams than this 76`er team. I wouldn`t compare any of thos series with this one.
I think this 76ers team is under rated. They had one of the best records in the league post All-Star break. I'm not saying the Pistons haven't played poorly... I'm just not quite ready to panic. Maybe after tonight, I'll be there with you guys.
I am not in panic mode, just accepting reality. There is no way this team wins a championship. Watching these playoffs there are teams that want to advance much more than the Pistons do. To talk all season long about being bored till the post season, then come out against a 7 seed (I don`t give a sh%$# what their record was since the all star break) and play like they did tells me a lot about the mindset of this team. This, we been here before, we know what it takes crap is old and doesn`t fly with me anymore. The Pistons may win this series but they will not, I repeat will not win a ship, and anything less is unacceptable.

U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., changed his position on gun laws a few days after a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012. He discussed his change in position at length during a meeting with Delaware County Daily Times editorial board Monday morning.
Casey, who was recently re-elected to his second term in the U.S. Senate, acknowledged that some people may view his new stance as a flip flop in position.
"I think some people will say that," he said. "We live in a free country and they're free to say that and make that assessment."
Casey said there were two things that haunted him about the news coverage of the Newtown, Conn., shooting. First, he said he was bothered by children being shot "with a high-power weapon with very powerful ammunition at close range … over and over again."
"That reality sunk into me in ways that I don't think I've ever been affected by a public policy issue before," he said.
Secondly, Casey said he was haunted by a TV news report that showed the likely path of the killer inside the school.
"I think the evidence will show — and a lot of the evidence already points in this direction — that his intention was to kill every child in that school," Casey said.
Both of those scenarios, Casey said, made him change his stance on new gun laws. Casey said there likely will be three votes on these issues in the future. Those bills will pertain to strengthening the federal background check system for gun sales, banning military-style weapons and outlawing high-capacity magazines. Continued...
Daily Times Editor Phil Heron asked Casey what he'd say to readers who have weighed in on gun issues following the Newtown, Conn., shooting. Specifically, Heron said some readers have said, "The emotion of that moment is one thing but nothing that is being considered would have any effect on that."
The senator disagreed.
"Think of the achievements of this country," he said. "The idea that the United States of America — as some assert — is powerless to do something about this is just unacceptable to me."
Casey said he does not think changes in gun policies are the only thing that should be considered though. He said mental health issues need to be examined and the federal government needs to give law-enforcement officers the tools they need. For example, he has been advocating for increased funding for the Community Oriented Policing Services program, the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program and the Bulletproof Vest Partnership program.
"But, in addition to that, a military-style weapons ban is going to have a positive impact somewhere down the road," he said. "I realize it might not help in every instance. But the idea that we can't take a military-style weapon … off the streets just doesn't make any sense to me. Or, that you need 15, 20, 25 or 100 bullets, I just don't think makes any sense to me."
Casey said he is still a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and the individual right to bear arms. He argued that the three main gun law proposals at the federal level would not adversely impact the right for self-protection or the right to hunt.
The senator also discussed the country's fiscal woes. While Congress reached an agreement on the so-called fiscal cliff crisis at the beginning of the year, it will have to address automatic, across-the-board spending cuts, known as sequestration, in March and will have to address an overall budget resolution in April.
Back in December, Casey introduced a bill that called for the one-year extension of the 2 percent payroll tax cut. The bill, the Middle Class and Small Business Tax Cut Act of 2012, also included a 10 percent tax credit to any small business on the amount their payroll increased due to hiring additional workers and increasing pay.
An extension of the payroll tax cut was not included in the fiscal cliff deal but Casey said he has plans to reintroduce a bill that would give tax credits to businesses who hire or increase wages. The value of the credit is capped at $500,000 and is targeted at small businesses, according to his spokesman John Rizzo.

This is probably a dumb question, but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for (possibly due to incorrect terminology). I moved into a house that has a rectangular opening in the ceiling above the shower that houses a standard light bulb. The opening is uncovered--it's ugly and I'd like to cover it up. There is a sort of flat metal frame around it, as though there was once a rectangular plastic cover that has disappeared. Are these covers replaceable? If so, where can I find them? Any tips would be greatly appreciated--and sorry for the silly nature of this question! | |||
Not a silly question. Yes there probably was some type of cover. Can you find a brand name at all on the fixture? If it is too old finding a replacement may be difficult, especially if you don't have a brand name. | ||||
No, it looks pretty old and I can't see anything on it that would help identify it. I was thinking maybe I could find some sort of plastic sheeting material that could be cut to the right size, but I'm not sure what materials are safe that close to a light bulb. | ||||
It's called a defuser. Lowes and Home Depot have them in the dropped ceiling area. If it's a light about 6 X 6 or so then most likly at one time it had a frosted glass one. If your luck they may have them in the lighting area or a real glass company may have something laying around.This message has been edited. Last edited by: joecaption, joecaption | ||||
I'd replace that bulb with a compact fluorescent so that you can use a much wider variety of materials for the cover. Another option would be to just go to any glass shop and buy a piece of "pin head" glass the size you need to slip into place. Pin head glass is glass that's bumpy on one side to allow sunlight into a bathroom, but still provide privacy for the people in that bathroom. | ||||
Yep, we've already replaced it with a fluorescent (so many lights in this house, and every fixture had incandescent bulbs when we moved in!). The light is on, at most, for 10-15 minutes a day, so I guess heat isn't really an issue. Sounds like a piece of glass is going to be the easiest solution, and I know there are pretty options to choose from--thanks so much for all of the suggestions and advice! | ||||
this is OVER THE SHOWER??? rent it out to the prison folks for an electric chair, this shower. lighting over the shower has to be rated, and that basically means waterproof with waterproof installation to the ceiling. it also needs these days to be on a GFI protected electrical circuit. this was probably a MOE or Thomas recessed fixture of the type that went "out" in the 70s. it cannot be waterproofed to be legal or safe in an enclosed shower or wet area. this is a big danger, and needs to be addressed soonest.This message has been edited.

HAMILTON Once the frustration wore off pure determination took over for Eric Szeker.
After getting bumped off the puck in the neutral zone, Szeker, the Hun captain, collected himself and tracked down the puck and sent a bullet on net.
The shot with just 59.5 seconds left in the game found the back of the net and earned the Raiders a 3-3 tie with Haverford yesterday in an critical early season Independence League game played at Iceland.
Hun (6-1-2, 3-0-1 Independence) saw Haverford (2-2-1, 1-0-1 Independence) take a one-goal lead three times during the game and just when it seemed to be slipping away the never-say-die Raiders snatched a tie from the jaws of defeat.
While, a win is always preferred than a tie. Considering Hun was chasing most of the game despite some quality chances and due to an injury to starting goalie Devin Cheifetz the Raiders went with back-up Natty Bayona. It was Bayonas first varsity minutes and turn in an impressive 17 save performance.
Bayona was very clutch down the stretch as Haverford made one final run.
But, Szeker, who is known as Captain Clutch by his coach made the play that kept the Raiders lurking around the top spot of the league.
The tie was important because The Academy of the New Church, which is also undefeated in league play, invades Iceland on Friday.
Hopefully, Szeker has some more heroics in store.
I got hit in the neutral zone and I was a little frustrated, said Szeker, of the final tally. So, I got up and got with the play and picked up the puck. My first instinct was to shoot it and it went in.
It was Szekers second goal of the game and he now has six on the season along with seven assists. Jordan Wang added the other Raiders score. J.C. Moritz, Alex Vukasin, Zack Roberson and Alec Karanikolas all had an assist for Hun.
Haverford got a pair of goals from Henry Brooks and another from Sam Bowen. Otis Baker turned back 26 shots.
We had some glorious chances, said Ian McNally, the Hun coach after the Raiders held a 29-20 advantage in shots. It is taking three chances to get one goal and it is getting frustrating.
Fortunately, this isnt the first time Szeker has bailed out the Raiders.
This is like his third last minute goal of the game, said McNally. We just called him Captain Clutch in the lockerroom. He wasnt much of an offensive player last year. We relied on him as a defenseman. But, this has been a very welcome new found plus from him this year.
Besides some welcome scoring Szeker has kept the Raiders confident on the ice. Despite trailing heading to the final minute he never doubted they could salvage the tie.
We were playing good the whole game, said Szeker. We had confidence in ourselves to get one back. We were on them for most of the game so to get one it was not a shock for us.
When it gets to crunch time it seems Szeker files away the frustration and that fierce determination takes over.
Its been a winning scenario for Hun.
Haverford (2-2-1, 1-0-1 Independence) 1 1 1- 3
Hun (6-1-2, 3-0-1 Independence) 1 1 1- 3
Goals: Haverford: Brooks, 2, Bowen. Hun: Szeker 2, Wang.
Assists: Hun: Moritz, Vukasin, Roberson, Karanikolas.
Shots: Haverford 20, Hun 29. Saves: Haverford: Baker 20, Hun: Bayona 26.

The winner will be announced in January 2013, according to the release.

Underwater season is starting up for me
I'm getting together with a local friend to start shooting more underwater. We're inviting photographers from our local photo group to get together and try out underwater bags and housing to see if it is something they want to explore more. It should be fun to start to play with lights underwater. So far, I've just done natural light, and the sunken pool light. Waiting for the right time of day is key. Hopefully, I'll be able to capture some good images this summer without putting my ears underwater.
Should be a fun summer.

Worked my tail off all afternoon getting my +SmugMug site organized and customized. I still have a long way to go, but I am calling it a night.
Wanna see what I've done? I've moved my galleries all around, made my thumbnails bigger, and just made the client end of my site even more awesome than it was before. I now need to work on getting my portfolio moved over, and a custom header that crosses from my wordpress blog to my smugmug hosting site seamlessly... But, that will have to wait for another day. This momma needs to get her beauty rest. Three little girls still need to be raised... I can't have them turn into ragamuffins because I'm learning to code.

Canon CPS sent me a 14mm lens to play with. It was fun, but the beach wasn't spectacular... Maybe tonight will be better... Regardless, my kids had fun playing with the waves.... Will I buy the 14mm? Not right away. I thought I'd want it, but naw... the 17mm is almost wide enough. I might upgrade to the 16-35 from the 17-40

I'm so glad to be able to say my nephew is following in your footsteps with a love for trains. I thought of this image as soon as I saw today was the day to post a train pic. Hope all your meetings went smoothly, and I hope you have a fantastic evening knowing you are loved and appreciated! #happybdaygene

Canon is sending me some lenses today though CPS. (I love Canon Professional Services...) I wonder if they really know the kind of stress I put their lenses under???? Just teasing... But I'm super excited to be borrowing the 14mm 2.8 and the 8-15mm fisheye... I wonder what sort of photos I'll be posting to my stream over the next few weeks... Hopefully not one like the image below!!!

Feeling Exposed
I truly wish that I didn't have photographer's anxiety. From what I know, it seems a lot of us suffer from it. At least with golf, your bad shots fade into the memory, and aren't recorded with exif data forever... Thankfully, there is a delete key, but turning over every shot, every bad shot unedited is like standing in front of a mirror naked and sweaty from a day's work. I'd rather stand naked, it is less painful.
(Self portrait from 2 years ago). First experiments with underwater photography.

Tips for me to Remember when Meeting up with Other Photographers...
1. Arrive early (of course!)
2. Offer to buy the coffee...
3. Ask about their personal projects, and be genuinely engaged...
4. Follow up with a thank you text/e-mail note about the conversation.
(those are all obvious no brainers.) but the biggest one that I, personally must remember...
The most important one:
5. Order Half Caff! I'm still bouncing off the walls 4 hours later. :)
But it was a great meeting, and I'm jazzed about some projects I will be working on. Looking forward to building a new professional relationship and working my tail off!

Fine Art Session
A while back, I advertised a special on my Facebook Business Page. I was itching to go out and shoot more of the images I love. The type that can go on your wall forever. The type that as your family age become even more special, and don't feel dated. The type of image that I hope will be hanging up years down the road as a tribute to the past. The session was for a piece of art. A simple session designed to create a personal piece of beautiful art for your home. No digital files to worry about where to print, or what to do, not 600 photos to weed through to find the best, just beautiful art ready to hang. The client leaves the session knowing that they will have a few hand selected thoughtfully curated images to pick from, and a ready to hang beautiful professional canvas arriving at their door ready to hang. It makes for a fantastic gift.

This morning, I was going through my digital files looking for photos that I am going to enter into a Fine Art Competition here in San Diego. It was fun looking through my past work, to find images that I felt were more "fine art" (this didn't make the cut). I always loved this portrait of my daughter. It was taken over two years ago. I would do things differently now, but it was a great experience for me to try new types of framing. It was daring for me then. Looking forward to summer and more days on the beach.

Thanks guys for humoring my fun! I haven't been shooting as much as I should be, so she's a great excuse to play.

A friend asked me to help carry her bags at a wedding she was shooting. (While very pregnant). We had a few moment,s so I worked on grabbing one of my silhouette shots for the couple. This is the first time I've worked on a boat for a silhouette. It sure is a different environment, but fun to shoot in. I'd love to go back and play when I had more time. It felt good to get out and shoot. I haven't been creating enough lately.

Lovely morning out on the course... (Taken with my cell phone camera, and no, it isn't as good as an iPhone (Samsung), but it really was a nice morning.

Someone posted a link on my facebook stream about making gummy earthworms that looked real. I just had to make them. They taste great!

An Hour with Auntie
Today, I got to spend the morning with my 8 month old niece. She is into everything. I thought it would be fun to follow her around with my camera this morning, and capture her life (I'll make her a little book for when she's older). This is only about 1/3 of what she got into in the hour we spent while big brother was at preschool with mom. I adore this age, but I forget how much work it is. What a great time we had. Her favorite find was a glass cup, followed by being intrigued that when she banged two cups together one went flying off. It was a mission to retrieve it. She is just a blast, and a total sweetheart. I was tired after spending one hour with her. Moms of babies, you are superstars in my book. :) They sure are work. Great work, but work! #blog

Whatcha doing tomorrow at 11am Eastern time?
Starting at 11am, I have a friend who is hosting a class for PhD students in Library and Information Sciences on Social Media. She's interviewing me on my use of Google+. I would love to have a few of you in the hang out as well...
Here are the questions! Would you like to be involved? Do you have 30-40 minutes tomorrow morning?
- How did you get involved with Google+ and the photographer community in G+?
- What have you learned from participating in G+?
- Why use G+ instead of Facebook or LinkedIn for professional development?
- What do you recommend to up and coming social media professionals (in a variety of fields) in terms of using G+ or other social media marketing?
Please, please, pretty please?

Found this creature IN our house tonight. +Josh Thornes thought he was a rattlesnake at first, and was a bit frightened. I wonder if this creature could have been the one to eat our baby bird? I'm starting to feel guilty releasing it into the back yard. Anyway, does anyone know what it is?

Is it normal for baby hummingbirds to regurgitate?
I've got a nest right outside my window, and sadly, yesterday, a leaf appeared over the nest and one of the birds was gone when I lifted the leaf. The baby was hungry. I left the leaf off, and the mother returned. (Happy baby hummer). But, we are down to one baby now. I'm wondering if it could be related that two days prior, one of the baby hummingbirds was regurgitating. I have a series of pictures I took of the baby throwing up the food. I haven't seen anywhere online that spoke of regurgitating babies. Anyone know?

Baby Hummingbird Feeding
I made a video today of how short the feedings are. I put part of it in slow motion so you could see the nectar flowing. It is quite interesting. (and boring at the same time). But, if you want to root this baby on, it is a cute little 2 minutes to watch.
