"I can't wait to go fishing and get out," Groves said. "It would be nice."
She may have to wait a bit longer. Old Man Winter has been known to hang around a lot longer than the traditional start of spring in these parts. In fact, Snowshoe Mountain resort, 77 miles to the east, announced Tuesday it was keeping its ski slopes open through March 31.
"When you get snow, there isn't a whole lot you can do with it," Groves said. "Maybe ice fishing-and that's even if you can get there to do that."
Before the storm hit, the Nicholas County girls basketball team was able to leave Summersville on Tuesday for a trip to Charleston to play in the state basketball tournament, which began Wednesday.
The Summersville area has seen its own problems over the past four months. Snow from Superstorm Sandy caused numerous roof collapses, forcing a grocery store and a convenience store to close.
"It's really sad to see people suffer, when you have to buy gas for generators and you can't work because you're stuck and can't get out," Groves said.
So she and others are holding onto hope that warmer days are just ahead.
"We're waiting for it," Groves said.

Some people say that when they visit the South, they start talking with a Southern accent. (Visit England, they start picking up an English accent.)
I never did that, but I just noticed that when I'm writing to someone that I know doesn't speak English at all, I start pre-preparing my words for Babelfish translation. Every un-necessary word is removed, and I even start messing with grammar to put the words in an order that seems more universally understood.
Instead of "Sounds interesting. What part of the country are you in? Do you do mail-order, or just retail-store? It'd be nice to come visit your operation while I'm in Japan this April 12-20″
It comes out "Ok! Where is your shop? (What city?) Do you send by mail or only in store? I am in Japan April 12-20. Can I visit you?"
Doing this mostly un-intentionally, I realized I had picked up his non-English "accent".
Got any examples of this?

The entire set is made in China. If you're buying this for the sockets you're going to be disappointed. The inside of the sockets has 1 detent on each wall so they don't lock in place tight when put on a ratchet. The made in USA Craftsman sockets have 2 detents on each wall for a positive lock and good fit. The 348 piece set for $550 is all made in USA and the quality is much better. The socket sets at my local Sears are all made in China but the individual sockets are all made in the USA. Stop buy your local Sears, check them out and you'll see what I'm talking about. While you're there grab a ratchet off the shelf, one of each of the sockets and try them out. There is a huge difference. You get what you pay for.

If you want a great set of tools for the $$ this is it! On sale at $189.99 that is dirt cheap! Weather you are a professional or just the back yard mechanic, this set perfect for both. The ratcheting wrenches alone are worth big bucks let alone everything else that you get!! The only down fall this set has is that it does not come with 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 universal joints. If it had that it would be the "ultimate" set to buy. Hint hint, Craftsman. I gave it 4 stars because it would not let me give 4 1/2 stars. If it had the universal joints in the set, then it would be an easy 5 stars all day long.

I bought this Craftsman 309 piece mechanics tool set to begin to replace one of our many sets of Craftsman tools in our shop. Our shop at the farm was broken into three weeks ago and we lost everything. So, the insurance company said we could purchase some items to get our shop started all over again. This set was an excellent item to begin the replacement process of all of our stolen tools. Since we have a farm, these tools are a necessity for our lifestyle. This set is comprehensive and gives the mechanic a variety of everything he may need on a job. We will be reviewing all the items we purchase as we go along this journey of rebuilding our shop again.

We had to purchase 2 separate packages because of poor QA of inventory. I had to return the first box after I spent all the time inventorying the tools because 17 tools were missing. In the second box, 8 tools were missing while there were 6 tools that were doubled. When I called to explain what had happened, with both purchases, I was told I had to return the item to the store. They did give me $20.00 off another purchase, but that hardly seems adequate after inventorying two boxes of tools and driving 45 minutes to return the first set.

Even though the online price states the set is $299 it was on sale in the store for $199 so I bought it. After I opened it I counted every item nearly 10x and always came up short on the sockets so I drove back to Sears. Replaced it with another set and Sears also gave me $17.50 on my card for the inconvenience. Along with my card points plus the sale and the credit I ended up paying $160.00 and the replacement set had everything it should have..........WHAT A STEAL!!!!! It always goes on sale and is worth every penny since the entire set has a Craftsman no hassle lifetime warranty..........go by one.......you won't be disappointed!!!!

Miranda Kendrick is the little General that makes the team go. A four-year starter at Montcalm High School, Kendrick, though standing only 5'3, plays much bigger and has done everything on the court from running the point to grabbing rebounds in helping MHS to victories the past four seasons.
Last week in a pair of wins Kendrick again proved her versatility and importance to coach Jim McPherson's team. Against Mercer Christian she scored 20 points, grabbed eight rebounds and had two assists and steals in a 59-32 win. In a 44-30 victory over Greater Beckley she had 17 points, eight boards and four steals.
For her performance Miranda Kendrick is the latest Pocahontas Coal Association/Bluefield Daily Telegraph girls player of the week.
Soft-spoken and quick to deflect attention from herself at a practice session Wednesday at the Deliverance Temple gymnasium, Kendrick spoke of the team winning those two games.
"I was happy (we won)," Kendrick said. "With it being my senior year I was really glad to bring it home for the rest of the ladies and get the win. It's going to be upsetting for me to play my last game. Most of us have been together since middle school and it's going to be hard leaving them all. We're really close."
McPherson knew Kendrick was special from the time she entered the program as a freshman.
"She's a four-year starter for us and early in her career she basically played the point all the time, of course we had some other players her first year that played inside, but the last couple of year's she's had to move around quite a bit," McPherson said. "She still plays the point quite a bit. We've moved Leslie (Kelley) up to that position sometimes to get Miranda in a position where she can score more."
To say that Kendick is an important cog in Montcalm's game is an understatement. McPherson said, "She's a big part of everything we do. We move her around offensively and defensively in places where we get the most out of her and she helped us to two wins last week, which was a good thing."
Kendrick began playing at a young age in the recreation leagues of Princeton and Bluefield, and that her father, Kevin, a former hoops player at Montcalm has been a motivating factor for her on the court. She also gives credit to her coach for helping her become a better player.
"He (McPherson) has pushed me, made me better, fussed at me a bunch and really pushed me to become a better basketball player," Kendrick said.
McPherson has seen Kendrick grow since first taking to the court for MHS four seasons ago.
"She has definitely become smarter about the game," McPherson noted. "The first year se was just thrust into the starting lineup. She has seen that she has to take in more of the load scoring wise and she has just continued to grow and progress throughout her career."
Considered one of the primary leaders on the team, McPherson talked about her leadership skills.
"She leads a lot by example," McPherson said. "She plays as hard as she can every second that she's on the court. There will be times that she will get fired up at the other team, she's got a little bit of temper on her. She leads by example and she helps motivate the other girls with her style of play."
As for the future, Kendrick would like to play at the next level. She has been to several Bluefield State games and envisions herself as a member of the Lady Blues. At BSC she looks to major in computer engineering.

The Wednesday Wars is a young adult novel that is amazingly realistic on one hand—and amazingly unbelievable on the other. The realism comes from the skill with which Gary D. Schmidt realizes main character Holling Hoodhood and his sufferings in junior high. The tension between Holling and his teachers, his classmates, and his family is strikingly real, even when he is insisting that one of them is going to kill him. A second theme of gritty realism coursing through the novel is the Vietnam War. Whether it is the fear caused by the war itself—Mrs. Baker's husband is in combat—or the rebellion that seizes Holling's sister, Heather, the feel of the period is intensely real. Life is changing for these characters as it changed for many Americans during the period.
And then there is the unreality that leads to the novel's fine comic touches. Some of this comes from the fierceness with which Holling wars with Mrs. Baker. Some comes from the hard-to-believe coincidences, as happens when he ruins the cream puffs by accident or when he starts running cross-country, only to have Mrs. Baker reveal herself to be a former Olympic athlete. And some of it comes from the at-times surreal mix of phrases from Shakespeare and contemporary teenage life.
Extended Summary
The Wednesday Wars follows Holling Hoodhood through a school year. Everyone at Camillo Junior High is either Catholic or Jewish—except for Holling Hoodhood. On Wednesday afternoons, the Catholics in Holling's seventh-grade class go to catechism. The Jewish kids go to Hebrew School…and the school has to decide what to do with Holling. He is assigned to Mrs. Baker's room. Holling gets the impression that Mrs. Baker hates him because she quizzes him about why he will be in her room on Wednesdays, criticizes his grammar when he answers, gives him extremely complex sentences to diagram in English class, and suggests that he might benefit from sitting in on a sixth-grade math class. He shares his fears about Mrs. Baker with his friends and family, but no one seems overly concerned.
Come October, Mrs. Baker sets Holling to more active work: cleaning erasers and the coatroom. One afternoon she orders him to move several trays of cream puffs the school cook had baked. After he does, she has him go outside to clean more erasers, promising Holling a cream puff as a reward if he does a good job. He does—but the chalk dust drifts through an open window to settle on the cream puffs. Holling does not say anything, and the charity members who eat the puffs all get sick. His classmates had hoped he would get them cream puffs, and threaten to kill him if they do not get any. Mrs. Baker then starts a new practice for their Wednesdays: reading Shakespeare. That same month, Mrs. Baker's two rats, which had been given to her by her husband, escape. At home, Holling's sister begins a fairly quiet rebellion against their ambitious, conformist father.
In November, Holling's life continues its up-and-down pattern. At home, water leaks through the roof, rotting the ceiling of the "Perfect House," designed by his father. At school, he is assigned to sing soprano—and to read The Tempest. The first leads to growing closer to Meryl Lee; the second lands him the part of Ariel in a production of Shakespeare, which wins him some free cream puffs.
In December, the production is held. Holling hopes to keep his part in the play a secret, but Mrs. Baker offers extra credit to any student who attends. The play is held the same...

Summary and Analysis
Chapters 1 and 2 Summary and Analysis
Holling Hoodhood, a seventh grader at Long Island's Camillo Junior High, is convinced that his teacher, Mrs. Baker, hates him. All of Holling's classmates are members either of St. Adelbert's Catholic Church or Temple Beth-El; Holling alone is Presbyterian. This in itself would not be a problem, except on Wednesdays, when, during the final period of the day, half of the students are excused to attend Hebrew School, while the other half go to Catechism. This leaves only Holling in class with Mrs. Baker, and Holling is certain his teacher is not happy about the situation.
Holling lives in what he calls "the Perfect House," located "right smack in the middle of town." This pristine but uninviting dwelling represents the values of his father, an architect at Hoodhood and Associates. After his first day of school, Holling goes home looking for an ally in what he perceives will be an upcoming, year-long "war" with Mrs. Baker. Sadly, his mother, a secret smoker, shrugs off his concerns with platitudes, while his father makes it clear that Holling had better not do anything to antagonize Mrs. Baker because he is trying to win a lucrative contract with her family's business. Holling's older sister, locked inside her room listening to the Monkees, is no help either, dismissing him cynically with a cutting jibe.
At school the next day, Holling is certain that Mrs. Baker is plotting to have "something awful" happen to him when he is coerced by the older boys into playing soccer, and is assigned to guard Doug Swieteck's hulking brother. With the behemoth barreling towards him, Holling, his own survival foremost in his mind, runs to the goal, waits, and sidesteps at the last second, inadvertently tripping his opponent and causing him to hit his head with "an iron thunk" against the goal post. Holling's friend Danny Hupfer, and Doug Swieteck himself, are in awe that Holling was able to "take out" Doug's brother, but Meryl Lee Kowalski, whom Holling believes has been in love with him since the third grade, berates him for his behavior. After it is announced on the public address system that Doug Swieteck's brother is fine and "would be back in school after ten days of observation," Mrs. Baker looks at Holling, who is sure she hates his guts.
Holling's paranoia is intensified when he is called to the office to see Mr. Guareschi, the principal. Mrs. Baker has suggested that Holling sit in on a sixth grade mathematics class on Wednesdays, since he had gotten by last year with "a decidedly below-average grade." As Holling had technically passed, however, Mr. Guareschi decides that he is ineligible to take the course again. Mrs. Baker responds to this news impassively, and later that afternoon, Mr. Guareschi announces that "Lieutenant Tybalt Baker would soon be deployed to Vietnam...and (the school community) should wish him, together with Mrs. Baker, well."
During Wednesday afternoons in September, Holling is assigned to do odd jobs by Mrs. Baker, which frequently includes pounding chalkboard erasers. Because of his father, Holling is careful not to complain, and by the first week in October, Mrs. Baker's family business, Baker Sporting Emporium, has narrowed its architect choices to two: Hoodhood and Associates, and Kowalski and Associates. At recess one Wednesday, Mrs. Baker asks Holling to bring up trays of cream puffs that Mrs. Bigio, the campus cook, has made for a gathering of Wives of Vietnam Soldiers. Dutifully, Holling makes twelve trips to the first floor kitchen, carrying the trays one at a time and placing them by the open windows of the third floor seventh grade classroom. When the students leave for their religious education classes, Mrs. Baker gives Holling a big box of erasers to pound. Holling watches the clouds of chalkdust rise in the breeze, and is horrified when he realizes that they are wafting into the open classroom windows and settling gently on the trays of cream puffs. Mrs. Baker gives Holling a cream puff when he has finished, but he...

Chapters 3 and 4 Summary and Analysis
In November, Mrs. Baker has Holling read The Tempest. Despite his preconceptions, Holling is captivated by all the "good stuff" in the play, especially the cussing, which he decides to learn by heart. He figures that Mrs. Baker could not have read the play herself; if she had, she certainly would not have let him have it. Holling is amazed when he discovers that his teacher not only has read the play, but she knows the bad parts as well. Mrs. Baker gives Holling a one-hundred-and-fifty question test on The Tempest, and assigns him to read the play again, telling him "there is a lot more to (it) than a list of colorful curses."
The deadline set by Holling's...

Chapters 5 and 6 Summary and Analysis
Holling returns to school in January to find that Doug Swieteck's brother has plastered newspaper photographs of him playing Ariel in his yellow tights all over the halls. Although friends tear down the pictures, Doug Swieteck's brother has an ample supply, and Holling is subjected to unceasing ridicule. Holling decides that the only solution is to transfer to military school, but when he announces his intention, his father reveals that Hoodhood and Associates is bidding on a contract for a new junior high school in town, and that Holling's plans to change schools are ridiculous. Holling's sister tells their father that Holling's idea is no more ridiculous than attending her high school, where...

Chapters 7 and 8 Summary and Analysis
Although the White House insists that the war in Vietnam is going well in March, it is clear from television news reports that the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Five thousand Marines are trapped in Khesanh, and among the missing is Mrs. Baker's husband. Holling's sister is devastated at this turn of events, and even Holling's father can only watch in stunned amazement. Mrs. Baker maintains a stoic attitude at school, but at times her eyes are red and drippy. On the "Ides of March," the day that Julius Caesar met his death, members of the school board are coming to evaluate teacher and student performance. Also scheduled for that day are try-out finals for the cross-country team; Coach...

Chapters 9 and 10 Summary and Analysis
May is "Atomic Bomb Awareness Month," and the students at Camillo Junior High are practicing scrunching under their desks with their hands over their heads so that they will be protected in case an atomic bomb is dropped on New York City. On Wednesdays, Holling is reading Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, with Mrs. Baker. At home, Holling's father is confounded when he learns that Kowalski and Associates has secured a multi-million dollar contract to renovate Yankee Stadium.
Holling's sister continues to insist that she will be attending Columbia University after graduation, but Holling's father is immovable in his opposition. One night,...

These curtains are thin. For the price they should have a lining!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shannon9 Good quality curtains
Camo curtains are good quality. Thick with dark print. Easy to put up with tie backs that hook onto window frame. They are long so can be trimmed if needed to fit a shorter frame window, but we just left these long for decoration and because I don't feel like heming them. I recommend them to go with the comforter set from Real Tree.

What a Fun Game!
The Twins and Brewers went 11 innings or back and forth ball only to have the Twins more than double their run output in the top of the 12th to make the score look one-sided. It was anything but. I think this was one of the more entertaining games I have watched this year. There was strategy. There were big hits. There were big pitches. It was close. There were big names. I mean, it's not Yankees/Mets or Dodgers/Angels, but this is a solid home and home series for the Twins. Win or Lose, the people that watched this game got their money's worth!
Be sure to check out the following:
Roger posted Part 1 and Part 2 of his weekly Minor League update.
LaVelle's Minor League Report discusses Francisco Liriano and several of the transactions made in the system this past few days.
Also, John Sickels discusses another Controversial Prospect: Deolis Guerra.
By the way, if you're looking for a great blog on the Brewers, you should be reading Al's Ramblings.
TWINS 9, BREWERS 4 (12 innings)
Brian Buscher made his first start. He will likely get a few more, especially based on how his final four plate appearances went in this game. He hit a deep sacrifice fly to dead center in the 7th. He then had a single in the 9th inning and ended up at third base when Corey Hart misplayed it. He had a solid single in the 11th inning. Then he broke the 4-4 tie in the 12th with another solid single. Definitely a great game for him. I'm not willing to start eating crow yet, but if he performs like this, the Twins have to keep going with him.
Delmon Young had another three hit game. One of the hits was even a double. The hits came in his first three at bats. After that, he just kept swinging at the first pitches, which I generally don't mind too much. But when he swung at the first pitch after Julian Tavarez walked the bases loaded in the 11th inning, that was very frustrating. Then in the 12th inning, he wasn't even close. Very frustrating because there is so much talent and potential there. Maybe "see ball, hit ball" isn't always the best thing. That said, during the telecast they showed that Young was 3rd or 4th in the AL in swinging at first pitches. Carlos Gomez was right after him. Both were around 45-46% I was shocked to see that Josh Hamilton swings at more first pitches yet.
Glen Perkins had a quality start. The lefty went the first six innings. He gave up three runs on eight hits and a walk. He struck out six. He has earned his rotation spot.
Jesse Crain was again dominant on the mound. Some are saying that he is as good as he was before the surgery that cost him most of 2007. Although I'm sure he's still working through some things, I don't recall Crain ever being as dominant as he has been his last few outings.
Joe Nathan blew a save by giving Russell Branyan a thigh high fastball after he swung and missed a slider by a foot. The pitch made no sense, but believe me, I'm not going to question Joe Nathan. The guy gets the job done better than any of the other closers in baseball, so it just isn't something to worry about the few times that it does happen. Some may have wanted him to go another inning, but he did throw 17 pitches in the inning, and the hope would be to need to use him again on Sunday.
Brian Bass and Dennys Reyes each threw a perfect inning. Great night for the bullpen guys tonight.
Justin Morneau was 2-4 with two walks. He's doing a nice job of using the whole field. Jason Kubel went 2-5 with a walk. He had some nice at bats.
Alexi Casilla went 2-5. Is it just me or does he just seem to get it now? I mean, he just is doing what he needs to do without trying to do too much. He's not trying to pull everything. He's bunting. He's hitting the ball the other way. He is turning on inside pitches. He's driving in runs. What impressed me was how relaxed he looks on the field. He came up in a couple of big positions, and it looked like he didn't care whether he came through or not. Now, that may sound negative, but it was a look of confidence to me. It was a relaxed look in a crunch-time situation, and I think that's much better than having a guy who is showing how hard he is working and gripping the bat too tight, or changing his approach at the plate. (see Carlos Gomez) That said, I love seeing Gomez just get mad. I love the fire he plays with. So, I'm easy to please. I like the guys that are just cool, like Casilla and Mauer. But I also appreciate the guys who tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves a little more, like Gomez and Morneau.
Michael Cuddyer was only available in an emergency situation. Well, he came through when that situation presented itself. After taking five pitches, he drilled a ball off the centerfield wall for a triple, then scored when the throw to the infield got away.
Sunday, it is Scott Baker against Seth McClung. I am interested to see if Michael Cuddyer plays, and if he does, will Delmon Young, who has six hits in the last two games, or Jason Kubel, who also has been hitting well, sit on the bench to start the game? Certainly Mike Redmond will give Joe Mauer the day off after catching all 12 innings tonight. Could Matt Macri play SS?
Any other Twins thoughts?
Twins Minor League Updates
Saturday SethSpeaks Player of the Day – Garrett Olson, Beloit Snappers
Saturday SethSpeaks Pitcher of the Day – Ricky Barrett, Rochester Red Wings
Saturday –
1, Louisville 4 –
Brian Duensing started this game and had a
near-quality start. He gave up four runs on five hits in six innings. He walked
none and struck out eight. Julio DePaula came in and gave up a walk and a
hit in 0.2 innings. Ricky Barrett got him out of the 7th inning with a
strikeout and also struck out the side in the 8th inning. Tim Lahey gave
up two hits and a walk in his inning. Randy Ruiz went 2-3 with his 17th
double. Jason Pridie and Garrett Jones each doubles. Trevor
Plouffe again played 3B and went 0-3.
Saturday –
New Britain, Binghamton –
This game was suspended in the 2nd inning because of rain, but even so, it
wasn't pretty for the Rockcats.
Anthony Swarzak
started and got just two outs. He gave up six runs (4 earned) on five hits
and a walk.
Jason Miller
came in and gave up a run on three hits in 1.1 innings before the rains
Erik Lis
had the only hit to this point in the game for New Britain. A couple of
interesting things to note though...
Matt Moses
has played 3B the last two games, since
Trevor Plouffe
moved up to Rochester. He's just holding the spot for
Danny Valencia.
Rodolfo Palacios has played 1B in each of his games with the team. On its
own, not a big thing, but then when you notice that
Brock Peterson
was playing left field, it makes me think a little bit. Is he a candidate to
move up to Rochester and take over LF from
Tommy Watkins? Or, is this just something to give him some more flexibility?
Anyway, this game will be completed on Sunday afternoon before they play their
regularly scheduled game.
Saturday –
West 8, East 3
– It was the Florida State All Star game and all six members of the Ft. Myers
Miracle that were on the team got a chance to play. In fact, Brian Dinkelman
and Danny Valencia both played the whole game. Dinkelman played 2B and
was the team's leadoff hitter. He went 2-6 with two runs scored. Both hits were
infield singles. Valencia went 2-5 with a single to center and a two run triple.
He also committed two errors, ironically both occurring while Miracle pitchers
were on the mound. Wilson Ramos entered the game in the 5th inning as a
catcher. He grounded out to 1st in his first at bat and then walked. Do you
remember when Kevin Slowey started the Florida State League All-Star game
two years ago? He struck out the three batters he faced on nine pitches. Well,
Jeff Manship was even more efficient with his pitch count. He threw just
eight pitches and got three ground balls. Anthony Slama pitched the fifth
inning. He had a runner get on via a Valencia error, threw a wild pitch and
walked two, but did not allow a run. Rob Delaney got to pitch the final
inning. He gave up two hits, but got out of the inning without a run scoring.
Good showing by all six of them, and I would expect four of them will be packing
for New Britain in the next day or two.
Saturday –
8, Quad Cities 6
- Garrett Olson had a
big game to help lead the Snappers to a win in this game. He went 4-5 with his
second triple and fifth home run. Ben Revere went 2-4 with his 13th
double. Chris Cates and Estarlin de Los Santos each went 2-4.
Michael Tarsi started and went the first six innings. He gave up three runs
(2 earned) on five hits and a walk. He struck out four. Steve Hirschfeld
gave up two runs on three hits and two walks in 1.2 innings. Matt Williams
came in to get the final out of the 8th inning. But then he allowed two base
runners to start the 9th inning, so Spencer Steedley came in. He got just
one out and allowed a hit and a walk. So, Loek Van Mil came in and got
the final two outs to record his third save.
Have a great Sunday! I'll be back.

Blue Rodeo is definitively linked to over two decades of Canadian music, so it's funny that its two guitarists/singers, Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, actually spent most of the early 1980s in New York City. Playing as The HiFi's, their attempt at a Big Apple breakthrough was ultimately a failed experiment one that led the pair back home to Toronto in 1980. It would be the best decision they ever made.
"Moving back to Toronto, there was such an incredible music scene," remembers Cuddy. "As soon as we moved back I knew we had made the right choice." Their choice led to the formation of one of our country's most enduring acts.
Cutting their teeth on the city's thriving Queen Street club scene, Blue Rodeo rounded out at the time by bassist Bazil Donovan, keyboardist Bob Wiseman and drummer Cleave Anderson was soon in a position to record material. The resulting 1980 LP, Outskirts, was a landmark debut. Its seamless blending of country, rockabilly and jazz, with a touch of blue-eyed soul, was both timeless and oddly original. One track in particularCuddy's eloquently stated ballad "Try"would give the group a foothold they've yet to relinquish.
Throughout the '80s, '90s and '00s, Blue Rodeo's string of hit albums were enviably consistentDiamond Mine, Casino, Lost Together, Five Days in July, Palace of Gold and their latest, Small Miracles, have all proved to be huge successes. Before long, Cuddy and Keelor were being called our own Lennon and McCartney. And when you peruse the list of great songs that these albums sired, it's easy to see why. "Bad Timing", "'Til I Am Myself Again", "Love and Understanding", "After The Rain", "Hasn't Hit Me Yet" and "Bulletproof" are just the tip of a deep, rich catalogue.

PROVO — Freshman Taysom Hill is out for the season with a knee injury, senior Riley Nelson will reprise his role as the starter, and senior James Lark is the backup once again.
That's the latest on BYU's crazy quarterback carousel.
Hill suffered a torn LCL in his left knee and damaged his hamstring after absorbing a hard hit on the third-to-last play of the game in the Cougars' 6-3 win over Utah State last Friday. Hill is expected to undergo surgery in the next week and will be sidelined for 4-6 months, according to head trainer Jeff Hurst.
The injury occurred with a little more than one minute remaining in the game after a "miscommunication," said coach Bronco Mendenhall.
The coaching staff signaled to Hill that the clock was running and Mendenhall said Hill thought that meant he should run the play that was called — a quarterback draw. The coaches wanted Hill to line up in "victory" formation and kneel down with the ball.
"He took his eyes away. Victory was signaled in right after that and he got hurt," Mendenhall said. "I'm responsible for anything that happens when one of our guys gets hurt. It's really unfortunate. Cleaner communication on our part needs to be done. It's not his fault, it's our fault."
Offensive coordinator Brandon Doman said he told Hill to let the clock run, but Hill "misinterpreted" the signal.
"It's a great excuse, or a great explanation, but it doesn't make anybody feel any better," Doman said. "He called a play and went running to the line of scrimmage. I asked (Mendenhall) to call a timeout, and he didn't get to the ref in time. … It's my fault, at least that's how I feel. I'm responsible for that, and I don't know that I'll ever get over him getting injured the way he did and the circumstances of how it happened."
Hill knew after the game that he was hurt and he met with medical personnel, said Hurst, BYU's trainer. Hurst scheduled an MRI for Saturday, and that's when the extent of the injury was revealed. Mendenhall said he didn't know that Hill was hurt until he found out about it on Saturday. More medical tests were conducted on Hill's knee Monday.
Asked about Hill's prognosis, Hurst said, "He should recover fully and be able to play and contribute and do everything he set out to do."
It's too early to know if Hill will be able to participate at all in spring practices in March, said Hurst, who added that the LCL injury is "less significant" than an ACL, which requires 6-10 months of recovery.
Now, Nelson — who acknowledged Monday that he was playing with "fractures" in his back before he was sidelined — will lead the Cougar offense Saturday (1:30 p.m. MT, ABC) against No. 10 Oregon State.
"I'm full-go. I'm excited," Nelson said. "We have a top-10 opponent in our house on Homecoming. It's a great opportunity."
Even before the injury, Mendenhall was planning on Nelson starting this week, and Nelson took all of the snaps in Monday's practice. He did not play the past two weeks due to his injury.
"It's been hard, but I needed it to get healthy," Nelson said about being sidelined. "It was tough. I left that decision was up to the coaches. I told them if they needed me I was available, but their decision was to rest me. It definitely worked wonders as far as healing me up."
Nelson played against Utah and Boise State with his injured back. Though he doesn't regret playing, he acknowledged that the pain related to the injury seriously hampered his abilities in those games. "(The injury) affected my decision-making and my play and my confidence level," he said. "That's all gone, because I don't feel pain anymore. I don't feel hurt. I'm back to myself."

About the Book
When 44-year-old Ann Pietrangelo is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, all previous assumptions about health, work, and her new romance are up for grabs.
How do you plan for life's second half with a body you've never met before? One precarious step at a time. From the impersonal diagnosis by email to a wedding presided over by a funeral director, this is no tragic tale of woe. Like relapsing/remitting MS itself, the book alternates between the serious ("When I turn toward him, there's a big hole where his right cheek should be.") and the silly ("The bocce balls don't get out much.").
This poignant and often humorous story of acceptance and change relies on a basic truth – good health and life are fleeting, but love and humor trump all. Every second matters, a point driven home by yet another life-altering diagnosis.
About the Author
Making peace with multiple sclerosis, surviving triple-negative breast cancer, and continuing to pursue a career as a freelance writer...well, let's just say she's fairly stubborn and has a well-developed sense of humor.
Ann is a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors. She and her husband, Jim, are partners in WebCamp One, LLC, a full-service website development and content creation company. Their philosophy is a simple one: LIVE while you're here and give back when you can.
"Where the road leads, for now, is a mystery. I'm just grateful to be on the road." -- Ann Pietrangelo
A Few Words from the Author
"No More Secs! may strike a chord if you've got multiple sclerosis, or love someone who does. Still, it's only my story, not your story, and certainly not THE story of MS. Oh, and it's not all about MS either. Really. That's because life marches on whether we feel up to it or not. Mine sure did, and ready or not, it keeps on marching. At its heart, this is a love story. Romantic love. Love of family. Love of life.
"If you take a leap of faith and give No More Secs! a read, it is my sincere hope you come away from it on a positive note. Then I'll know I've done good."
Quotations Diary: Top Quotes from No More Secs!
Readers Favorite says, "Pietrangelo shares her story with candor and often humor … Pietrangelo shares the highs and lows of living with MS. I would describe her as courageous, loving, and a fighter. Her personality shines through in this tale … This book will offer hope, courage and insight to others living with Multiple Sclerosis … Ann's story is one of realism; MS is not the only battle she has faced. Yet she ends her book with these words, "I am alive. Gloriously alive! I am functioning and loved … and yes, I still have many more stories to tell."

"I live in South Africa. I have just finished reading your book "No More Secs! Living, Laughing & Loving Despite Multiple Sclerosis." WOW! I just could not believe that there is actually someone out there who KNOWS how it feels to have this dreadful MS! I wish that I could have read this book back when I was dx - it would most definitely have made a huge difference in my life! All I can say is: Thank you for sharing! I wish that all my friends and family could read this book, so that they can see that I'm not "faking." To me it's a very "lonely" disease, for most of family members and friends just don't get it. So from the bottom of my heart - THANK YOU!"

"Here's to those of us who just keep on keepin' on, whatever the circumstances!"
"Thank you for putting into words what those of us with MS feel!"
"I want to thank you so much for putting your heart and soul into your book. I can't stop reading it. ... [Now] I do not feel so alone with this disease or think I have gone crazy with some things that come along with MS."
"Ann, you inspire all of us. Keep on writing."
"If you have MS or know someone with MS please read this book."

"Not Sure But Hopeful - Seattle, WA"
After many weeks of back and forth, I decided to go for it and had the Ultherapy procedure done on my lower face and neck a week ago, 5/7/13. I just took 4 Advils (200mg each) before the procedure and it helped. It was uncomfortable but tolerable. Each zap lasted close to 3 seconds. (It would be difficult if each lasted more than 3 secs.) My procedure was done by a PA and she assured me... more
I am 7 days post Ultherapy of my lower face and neck. I can already see some changes and feel tighter through my jaw and upper neck. My only regret is that I didn't go for my entire face. The staff at the clinic did a fantastic job making sure my pain during the procedure was tolerable. It was painful, but I had no problem tolerating the type of pain. I would love to go back to the clinic and... more
"Torturous Pain - Seattle, WA"
After having received botched botox in my forehead over six months ago (which still hasn't gone away), I was left with a very droopy left eyelid (see my other posts). When a coupon came through for Ultherapy around the eyes, I checked into the procedure and decided to do it in hopes it would help. I was prescribed a "cocktail" of three different meds to take an hour before hand to help... more
"1st Ultherapy Treatment: Great..."
I had my 1st Ultherapy treatment last Monday July 9th @ Pacific Dermatology. I can truly say that it works and fast! Prior to choosing the treatment, I had a very thorough consultation with Dr. Jennifer Reichel at her office in Seattle, wow what a beautiful office btw. I met with the doctor quickly upon arrival. I really appreciated that because I am an attorney and so my time is very tight. I... more
I had Ulthera (full face) last week. As everybody else I was concerned with pain, but I was given pain medication before and it was not so bad. Some areas of the face were more painful than others, but it was not too bad. I saw results right away!!!, and I cannot believe that I will even see better results in the future! So far so good! I am happy!!! more
"I Could See Improvement from the..."
I had full face ultherapy 2 days ago and I could see results from the first day. The process was fast and easy. It hurt during the procedure, but it really wasn't that bad. If you are concerned about the pain take premeds. I took advil and it was all I needed. I am anxious to see the results as time goes by. I would recommend Dr. Baxter and his office! They were great! more
"A Guy's (And Gal's) Fountain of..."
I had lipo done on my chin and cheeks about 10 years ago, and decided I needed a less invasive/less expensive 'freshening up' this time. I didn't want a full facelift because I don't want to look like Kenny Rogers or Burt Reynolds with the windblown look/constant look of surprise. I met with the Doctor and his technician and we spoke about my concerns and I opted for Ultherapy... more
"Ultherapy to Tighten Jowl and..."
I did this procedure to help maintain the look I have now but to also tighten the jowl and submental area. I do notice a significant difference. I am now 90 days post treatment and I am happy that I decided to proceed with treatment. There was pain involved but the center I went to did an excellent job at distracting me during treatment and they also administered drugs to ease the pain... more

John Turturro Reveals His 'Passione' for Naples at SF Film Society's New Theater
By Rossiter Drake on October 06, 2011 10:00 PM
It is a typically frantic morning in New York's theater district, where this evening John Turturro will pay tribute of sorts to two collaborators past: Woody Allen, for whom he played a writer in Hannah and Her Sisters, and Ethan Coen, who cast the Brooklyn native in movies including Barton Fink, Miller's Crossing, The Big Lebowski and O Brother, Where Art Thou. Yet Turturro will never take the stage.

The Kimball Legion and Auxiliary hosted a Memorial Day service again this year at Kimball Elementary School. The Legion, Auxiliary, Sons of the Legion, and Junior Auxiliary marched to the school from the Legion Club. The Auxiliary did the "Empty Chair" ceremony, and demonstrated the folding of the flag. A "gravesite" service was held outdoors at the school. (All local Legions and Auxiliaries are looking for young people to join their ranks; ask any dcurrent member about it.)
The Kingston Legion and Auxiliary, and the Kingston community choir presented this year's Memorial Day service in the new Veterans Memorial park. Mike Kingery was the guest speaker. (Additional photos from all four Memorial Day services that we covered can be found in our Photo Gallery at www.tricountynews.mn.) Local residents enjoy their Veterans Memorial Park, next to the cemetery, and people come from near and far for the annual Memorial Day service there.
After parading up Central Avenue, the Watkins Legion, Wat-Kim-Valley V.F.W., the POW/MIA Honor Guard, and the Eden Valley-Watkins high school band entered St. Anthony Church for the service and Mass. Watkins held all their services indoors.
The Wat-Kim-Valley V.F.W. POW/MIA Honor Guard joined the Eden Valley Legion and Auxiliary, Legion Firing Squad, Eden Valley Boy and Girl Scouts, and the Eden Valley-Watkins high school band in celebrating Memorial Day May 27. Eden Valley native Lt. Col. Steven Thielen was the special speaker for the ceremony, and Rev. Bryan Hopfensperger gave the invocation and benediction. Our online Photo Gallery contains many more photos from all four Memorial Day services that we covered. Staff photos by Jean Doran Matua.
Fr. Tom Olson celebrated his 40th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood on May 20.

Updated and corrected recipe! I watched Mom make the rolls for Christmas dinner this year, and have updated the recipe to make sure all the amounts and steps are just right. :) Mom originally got the recipe from Aunt Lee, and these are my favorite dinner rolls. They take a bit of time to prepare, but they're well-worth it. I know it's a lot easier to buy rolls from the Pillsbury Doughboy, but they're not nearly as good. :) This is what's on the table at our family gatherings. Prep time includes day-of-baking rising.
