Like most single mothers will tell you, everything Tarrytown's Blanca Medina does is for the benefit of her child. In her case, this happens to be a smart and talented 13-year-old who clearly has been given every opportunity: he's on scholarship at the Harvey School in Katonah and takes music at the Music Conservatory of Westchester in White Plains.
"I'm working always for something for him," Medina said.
Being a good mother of course has its price. Medina is an immigrant, who speaks passable English, but she has found herself working within the limitations of her status here since she came from Peru 15 years ago. She cleans houses, and travels by bus, often as far as Brooklyn, to do so, but the work and the commute is taking its toll. "I'm getting too old," she says, and adds that her eyesight is starting to fail her.
Medina wears glasses for close work and it's the close work she's obsessed with. Any spare moment she has she is crafting the most intricate beadwork jewelry (a bracelet with a beaded lizards, Swarovski hearts, crochet-like necklaces) and fabulous dolls. The lifelike dolls are made from recycled goods. One of them is getting packaged up this very day to make its way to Texas for inclusion in the Artistic Figures in Cloth and Clay collective, a website celebrating "art dolls."
She's a proud mother to these dolls too. Medina shows off the various little people and sparkling jewelry pieces with joyous laughter. The darker skin she colors with tea and cinnamon. The boots of the Texas-bound doll (who happens to be fashioned after Glinda the Good Witch) are delicately sewn from leather gloves she found at Main Street's Cherry Door store.
There are witches she's working on, heads all in a row and each with their own expressions. Corn husk dolls, made with techniques she learned from her mother and grandmother. Anatomical pieces that will become a baby Jesus for a manger.
"People don't do this anymore," she said with sadness. "These kinds of arts and crafts are disappearing."
She's been doing this "since I remember," Medina said of her history with crafting. She studied architecture in Peru but couldn't complete her degree because it was too expensive. Instead she applies a certain architectural precision to this work.
She hopes to get out of the phsyically challenging housekeeping trade and start making a living from teaching her skills to others, which she does from time to time now. She goes to libraries (she did a seminar at the Greenburgh Library and in June she will teaching a group at the Irvington Library how to make one very cute fairy ornament). She will work with Girl Scout troops, community centers and the like to make items requiring one to five sessions. She can do crafting parties for teens, adults and seniors, where she brings along the kits to sell with all the materials needed to make a piece.
The woman who used to sell her crafting supplies had to close her store in Nyack a few years ago because too many of her precious jewelry pieces had been stolen. Now the "Beadwildered Women" shop owner works out of her home.
Ultimately, she is open to anything that will help her get by right now. She admitted her phone line had just been cut because she couldn't pay her bill that week. She babysits and tutors Spanish to elementary school kids, helping dual language kids with their homework.
Her son is bilinqual. He wants to study computer engineering in college, though sometimes, Medina said, he just wants to be a baseball player.
There's the piano in the living room of the small Franklin Courts apartment where her son practices, a pervasive smell of soup, and a table laden with beautiful things that take her hours upon hours to make. She doesn't want to sell most of these items because she can't produce them fast enough. The dolls take several months; often she sends them to her niece as gifts.
Old-school traditions are held sacred in this household in the face of times moving increasingly online and away from such pursuits. Medina and her son straddle these different worlds: past and present, Peruvian and American, crafting and computerized.
You can take a class to make the "Swarovski Puffy heart" (by way of PDF for purchase) online here. Medina also maintains a blog with photos and info on the latest projects she's up to at Peru-medesigns.com. She can be emailed at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Jose Abreu returned to action Monday, but not until after he gave the Chicago White Sox a pregame scare.
The first baseman, who was activated from the disabled list earlier in the day, was hit in the chest by an errant baseball as the White Sox were about to begin stretching drills at Dodger Stadium. Abreu buckled after being struck, and he was helped off the field and into the clubhouse by a member of the White Sox's staff.
Abreu returned to the field about 15 minutes later and loosed up with his teammates. He remained in the starting lineup for the opener of a three-game series against the Dodgers, and he hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning off Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw.
Abreu was hitting .260 with 15 home runs and 42 RBIs before posterior tibia tendinitis in his left ankle landed him on the 15-day disabled list May 18. At the time, Abreu led the majors in home runs and was second in RBIs.
Abreu was named the American League Player and Rookie of the Month for April. He set major league rookie records for home runs (10), RBIs (32), extra-base hits (19) and total bases (71) in April.
To make room for Abreu on the 25-man roster, the White Sox optioned third baseman Marcus Semien to Triple-A Charlotte. Semien batted .218 with a .287 on-base percentage, a .327 slugging percentage, three homers, 18 RBIs and three steals in 43 games for Chicago this season.

This was always going to be a tough task for Trivium. How to match the earlier success, but still not sound like a complete sellout. I think this album succeeds admirably well. First let me say that this is NOT an overtly commercial record. Sure there are melodies both sung and played, but this doesn't mean it is cheesy or weak. Trivium have been combining rough and clean vocals for a while, and this album shows that potential being achieved. Same with heavy riffing interposed with beautiful melodies. The clean voices and choruses sound much less like Hetfield. The growling is deeper and more "death" style. I have always enjoyed their guitars, and again, you won't be disappointed. Tons of riffs and solos. Also, there is a bit more depth to the songs, both in scope and in musicality. Get this album if you like newer metal with a major classic metal influence, lots of solos, and thundering riffs and powerful drumming / bass. It will not disappoint. There is nothing really bad about it. Good for them!!
Trivium Biography - Trivium Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Trivium stormed onto the metal scene in 2005 with their critically acclaimed debut album Ascendency and continued their dominance with the follow-up The Crusade. Now the band has unleashed their most cohesive and mature effort, Shogun. The band is poised to continue to knock the metal and hard rock community on its ass with what will definitely be hailed as the metal album of the year by critics and fans alike!

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Ascendancy, and The Crusade were good, well-written albums in my opinion. Matt Heafy has the kind talent that either makes you hate him, or fills you with the desire to get better. The previous two albums culminate on Shogun. Shogun sounds like neither of their previous albums but rather fuses them along with some new sounds. If you like metal even slightly you will appreciate Shogun and the musicianship Trivium brings to the table!
Trivium is a band that gets a lot of hate from a lot of metalheads, but do they deserve it? I really think that they don't and I'm not a fanboy at all, in fact, I don't really like Ember To Inferno and Ascendancy. I'm pretty sure that a lot of metalheads hate Trivium only because they used (yeah, they don't anymore) to play metalcore and/or because they aren't tr00 (that's what some people say) or for another reason that has nothing to do with the quality of their music. Actually, I used to think like that too, but one day I decided to stop being so close minded, I listened to The Crusade and I liked it a lot. I've seen a lot of ridiculously negative reviews for this album and honestly, I really don't understand them because Shogun is very far from bad! My guess is that some of them wanted to hate it.
A lot of people consider Shogun to be a mix of Ascendancy and The Crusade, well, they're right. It's thrashy and "melodic" like The Crusade and it has the screaming of Ascendancy, yeah, but it's different overall, it's more melodic (The Crusade was more thrashy than melodic), more epic, more progressive, it doesn't sound as mainstream (By the way, Down From The Sky is the most mainstream sounding song on the album and it's the weakest one too) and it doesn't really sound like Metallica at all. I couldn't really give it a specific metal genre, it's quite unique (atleast to me), it's a mix of a lot of things, sometimes it's heavy, sometimes it's thrashy, sometimes it's progressive (ala Dream Theater), sometimes it's melodic (ala Iron Maiden), sometimes it's catchy, sometimes it's epic, but I can say that it's not metalcore. Some people say that it's metalcore, but they must've heard a different album or maybe they're simply Trivium haters because there's nothing metalcore about this album except the screaming, but it's not even THAT metalcore, it sometimes reminds of bands like Dark Tranquillity.
Anyway, the guitar playing on this album is very good, Matt and Corey are GREAT guitarists, hell, maybe even more than great. The album is filled with great technical riffs (the riff at 8:24 in the title track is a good example of that) and awesome solos that probably require a lot of skills to play, but I have to say that a few (only a few) riffs are quite generic, they're typical metal riffs. The bass, well, I can't say much about it because it's nothing special really, but I have to say that there's a really nice (and dark) bass "solo" in Torn Between Scylla And Charibdis. Talking about Torn Between Scylla And Charibdis, it's probably the best song on the album, it's filled with great riffs and solos, it's quite epic in parts and it's very catchy. The drumming is awesome, I don't know much about drumming, but I love the drumming on this album, it sounds quite technical. The vocals aren't great, I mean, they're nothing special, but they're far from bad. Matt Heafy still sounds like young James Hetfield, but I think that his (completely) clean voice got much better. Like I said earlier, there's some screaming, but not THAT much, every song has like 2 or 3 screaming parts and all of the rest is like on The Crusade.
About the songs, there's no bad song on this album, some are good, some are great and some are awesome. Into The Mouth Of Hell We March is almost as good as TBSAC! It's very melodic, it has a lot of harmonized melodies, some of them remind of Maiden (the part at 2:29 reminds a bit of a part from Hallowed Be Thy Name for example), the verses are great and the choruses (especially the first one) are very catchy. Kirisute Gomen is one of the best songs on the album, it's very thrashy ala Ignition (from The Crusade), it has a very memorable chorus and the part at 1:50 is just awesome! It's the perfect opener because it really represents the whole sound of the album. Throes Of Perdition is very nice, it has a great heavy main riff that reminds a bit of the main riff from Dream Theater's Panic Attack and it has a catchy chorus that is pretty radio friendly, it's probably the most mainstream sounding part on the whole album, but it's good anyway. The Calamity, He Who Spawned The Furies and Of Prometheus And The Crucifix are all great and have original and memorable choruses, I can't really pick a favourite one out of them. I didn't really like the title track at first, but now I love it, it's the progressive song of the album, it's very epic, it's very catchy and the slow part is just awesome, it's definitely something that could have been written by Dream Theater, well, the whole song could have been written by Dream Theater! Ok, it's very far from a rip off, it doesn't sound like Dream Theater THAT much, but some of the riffs remind of them and overall it's almost as good as some of DT's epics. Insurrection is very thrashy, it would have fitted well on The Crusade, the verses are pure thrash and they're awesome! It's chorus is catchy, but it's definitely not one of the catchiest choruses on the album. Like Callisto To A Star In Heaven is the second weakest song on the album, but it's still a good song with some nice heavy parts, there's nothing else to add about it. Down From The Sky is the weakest one, it's not bad, but it's nothing special, it's quite generic and the chorus is nowhere near as memorable as the choruses from most of the other songs. The screamed part before the chorus is pretty nice though.
I don't really care about the production, but a lot of people do, so I'll just say that it's perfect! You can hear everything perfectly and every instrument sounds great. I would add more if I knew anything about the production terms.
Anyway, overall, it's not perfect, it has some unoriginal parts, but it's a GREAT album, it's also a grower and I highly recommend it! I'm SURE that if it wasn't a Trivium album, A LOT of metalheads would love it! Just put a sticker with another band's name on the cover and I can assure you that your tr00 metalhead friend will love it. Remove the sticker and he will suddenly hate it. Anyway, it seems that they (Trivium) get better and better, so personally, I can't wait for their next album, I expect something even better than this album!
Unbelievable! That is the only word that comes to mind when I hear this cd. Trivium have combined the best of their previous cd's (Ember To Inferno, Ascendancy,and The Crusade)and have delivered BIG TIME the best elements of those three into Shogun. Guitars solos soar in and out with harmonic unison while the drums provide a steady, pummeling beat that locks the songs into place – sometimes I cannot believe just how young these guys are yet sound so professional and seasoned. My current favorite songs are "Down From The Sky" and "Into The Mouth Of Hell We March".
First of all, this album should NOT be compared to The Crusade in such ways as saying its a step up or step down from it. Its really a hybrid album. Too many people are basing their opinions of Shogun by saying that its too intense compared to The Crusade and they miss the melody and singing on that album. Then still others are saying that The Crusade was a mistake of Trivium's and this is a return to original form that Ascendancy introduced us to. I say both sides are wrong. This album is Ascendancy and The Crusade all in one, but even more in your face. As I said, hybrid album.
With Shogun, Trivium has mixed the melodic singing, lightning fast guitar work, and blistering drumming of The Crusade with the screaming, up in your business, heavy metal of Ascendancy. The combination is undeniably brutal. You get the best of both. Fans of The Crusade, which I admit I loved, will easily cling to the parts of songs where Matt Heafy is melodically chanting over speedy drum work and machine gun guitar riffs, but then its over as fast as it started and the vocals turn up a notch and the music becomes chunky and heavy while Heafy takes on demonic screams like those that riddled the Ascendancy album.
Highlights of the album:
— Great lyrics! Check out the lyrics to "Into The Mouth Of Hell We March" (Epic story in this song with lines like: "Spires of lightning thrown down from the gods! Skin melting even in the deluge!) and "Throes of Perdition", another great story with great music accompanying it.
— The guitar solos are insane! Fast, original, and ear piercing. LOTS of harmonizing here.
— The drumming is top-notch. Travis Smith is easily my favorite metal drummer right now. BLAZING fast double bass work, and very original and masterfully built drum fills. Travis is really coming into his own.
— Long intricate songs. Tempo and feel changes throughout. Its sick! Most songs clock in at over 5 minutes, several are just shy of 5 minutes by mere seconds. The title track itself is nearly 12 mins long.
— The production is excellent. Amazing clarity. If you have a good set of headphones, listen with those. Smith's tom fills seems to wrap around your head and the solo's seem to start on one side of your head and travel through your skull sonically bouncing around inside until connecting with the other ear. Its wicked.
As a side note, even if you don't like the album, you've got to at least admit the cover art is awesome. Ha Ha.
But seriously…SHOGUN HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE:
1) If you're into speedy licks, its here.
2) If you're into in your face screaming, like many of you Ascendancy fans are, well, you're gonna get it.
3) If you loved the melody of The Crusade but wished the intensity had been turned up a few notches, Shogun won't disappoint.
4) If you're a guitar solo junky, welcome home, this album delivers.
5) Even a few "epic" storylines to get lost in. You can practically envision the events unfolding in your mind as you listen.
Pick this album up, its hella cool.

Under the cover of a standard medieval romance, Chaucer's Knight's Tale is a grim and astrologically-rich contemplation of human passion, fortune, and destiny. This article ponders the purposes of the Knight's Tale's uses of astrology and astrological symbolism in the context of these larger issues. Why do gods and humans take on qualities of astrology's planets? Why is so much timing for the action according to planetary hours and days? Of particular note is the poet's presentation of "Duc" Theseus and his planetary symbolism. These issues also allow us to understand better the tie between the Tale and its narrator.
By Carol Tebbs, MA
Over 4000 years ago, nomads sprung from the soil of northeastern Europe and entered the Indus Valley of ancient India. They called themselves Aryans, or noble ones, and the religion they brought with them comprised the first practice of Hinduism. The centerpiece of Aryan religion was a fire sacrifice to the gods performed by priests specially trained to chant sacred hymns. The hymns themselves were known as Vedas or sacred knowledge. The Vedas are the scriptural bedrock of the Hindu tradition.
As her senior project and final paper for her East/West major, BA graduate Inga Thornell wrote a research paper on the role of women and myth in society.
The study of mythology and literature can be a useful means of determining the paradigms of a culture. This paper will examine examples of Goddesses and women from Greco-Roman and Indian mythology and epic poetry to determine what these stories show us about women's roles in these cultures and how these characters compare to what is known of real women in each society. The historical period under examination is each culture's "Epic period." The Epic period encompasses different years for each civilization in the same way that the term "iron age" does.
Myths and literature can teach us how another culture views its life events and how they view their gods. They provide insights about the religion, customs and rituals of a civilization. They also provide models of societal expectations and demonstrate human behavior. Myths also teach us about ourselves. In fact, it is too easy to read myth without acknowledging its own cultural milieu, and while its relevance to all eras is part of myths' appeal, this can cause misunderstandings of the myth itself. The myth of Persephone is a good example of this propensity to misunderstanding since moderns tend to read this myth through their own lens and to emphasize the violence of the "rape" motif without realizing that this is a tale of ancient marriage customs. While the event of Persephone's abduction and non-consensual marriage is shocking, the modern understanding of the word "rape" is not an accurate description of it.

I spent most of my time near the sports pool after checking out all the pools. The sports pool was like sharing a bath with "thumbelina"....especially when you put over 6000 people on the ship. basically you got in, didn't swim, didn't move for the fear of loosing your space in the water and didn't even float. Ohhhh....and try to keep tabs on the location of the people who spend hours in the pool while drinking without moving....not to be gross but after spending some time in the pool it starts to smell like people haven't had to get out to go to the bathroom as they were utilizing the water around them. I guess that's why the chlorine levels in the pool were so incredibly high as to cause burning to your throat if you took a deep breath. Oh, and by the way, if you love your killer suit and it's bright colors....they won't be bright colors for very long....I brought 5 suits and each and every one are a shadow of their former glory when it comes to the colors....they all were bleached.
OK - HERE'S THE KICKER!!!!! I have never seen the number of people fall around the pool area as I did on this cruise. I HIGHLY recommend "cramp-on's" if you plan on attending any or the pool or hot tub areas. Of the 28 people traveling with me 17 fell in the pool area and 3 were injured fairly seriously with one serious enough to seek medical attention. The one who had to seek medical attention actually was me. I fell on Sunday. I immediately reported it to one of the servers who helped me to a nearby chair and I had to get help from someone traveling with me to get to my room. At first I thought I just twisted my knee but come to find out I have torn my ACL and done damage to the meniscus in my knee and will be requiring surgery. So I got that to look forward to. I didn't see them "squeegee" the areas around that pool / hot tub areas until the last 2 days of the cruise. They appear to have skimped on the squeegees. However, you could always see where someone had fallen. Almost like the chalk outline at a crime scene, the pyramid "slippery when wet" cones would come out to mark the location of the latest victims area of demise. You have to be kidding me....you've got a billion dollar boat and you can't find a way to make the area's around the pools non-slip???? I'm amazed that you can find a way to have an ice skating rink in the heat of the Caribbean but can't find a way to save people around the pools. Or perhaps the same people who designed the ice skating rink designed the pool area and they thought they would give the passengers the experience of skating on a moving ship as an extra appreciation of the skill and talent of the skaters??? Perhaps....but they forgot something....we aren't looking for a surgical intervention to correct their lack of ability to fix an obvious problem.
OK, OK, OK.....the long and short of it....Royal's service and attention to their passengers is great for the most part....but I HIGHLY recommend that you find a smaller ship with smaller passenger count to truly get the total enjoyment of your cruise experience. It really pains me to say that I'll never suggest the Oasis or the Allure (assuming it has the same problems as it's sister ship) to anyone. But I'll continue to recommend RCCL to people that ask my opinion.

49ers touchdowns against Cardinals came at a price
Maybe the Arizona Cardinals got the last laugh after all?
Not really.
Anyway, the San Francisco 49ers beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-13 in the regular season finale last Sunday. A close game in the first half, the 49ers took it to the Cardinals over the game's final 30 minutes.
In all, receiver Michael Crabtree scored a pair of touchdowns while running back Frank Gore tallied one. As part of their respective celebrations, each player threw the football into the stands.
As it turns out, footballs are expensive.
According to CSNBayArea.com, the players were fined for tossing the footballs away.
The well-meaning gesture came at a price, though. Both players were fined $10,500 by the NFL, according to a league spokesman.
The league considers it fan safety issue to have players throw football into the stands, as opposed to handing the ball or tossing it to a fan, which is allowed. The NFL does not want fans fighting over a football.
Fortunately for both Crabree and Gore, their contracts are paying them hefty sums. However, that probably won't do much to dull the pain.
If only they would have scored fewer touchdowns that day...

Getting There
See Glenn's maps. From the very small pull-off on the Kanc at 43.99704, -071.38081, ride bike back a few hundred yards to the river. Cross the river (usually knee deep) to a forest road connector and ride maybe 5 minutes to join Rob Brook road, bearing right. Continue on Rob Brook rd until you get to Swan's Junction, a large clearing with a kiosk. Take a left there and bike another 5-10 minutes, crossing 2 bridges. After a clearing, look for a somewhat overgrown road up to the right at 44.02058, -071.41216 that takes you into large clearing.

HAVERHILL — The Essex District Attorney's Office said that as of 1 p.m. today, it had not positively identified an adult female pedestrian who was struck and killed by a tractor trailer on Interstate 495 just before 9 a.m., and that the woman's next of kin had not been notified.
Carrie Kimball-Monahan, spokeswoman for Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said her office has not filed charges against the driver of the truck that struck the woman and does not plan to do so. She said an investigation into the fatality is being conducted by State Police detectives assigned to the District Attorney's Office as well as a State Police accident reconstruction team and Haverhill Police.
The incident happened on I-495 southbound near Exit 49. State Police shut down the left travel lane for a period of time and the traffic backed up for miles. Drivers who contacted The Eagle-Tribune reported that the woman was scantily dressed in some type of pajamas.

Cutting, Embellishing, Felt, Hand Stitching, How-To-Projects, Tania Willis,
Made of soft cozy fleece, they are a kid's camping essential.
Learn how to make this easy pillowcase dress. It looks adorable with any fabrics.
Let me show you how you can make your very own with in just a few hours time.
The supplies you will need to complete one bunny are: one pair knee-high socks, craft felt sheets in coordinating colors, buttons, white twine, embroidery floss, embroidery needle, pins, Shape Templates – Mixed Shapes and Mixed Borders, Shape Templates – Super Sized Circles, Shape Templates – Super Sized Ovals, sharp scissors, pencil or marker and a sewing machine (optional).
For the face pieces, trace and cut two circles onto one color of felt using the inside of the smallest circle from the Shape Templates – Super Sized Circle package. You also need to trace and cut a heart and a circle from a contrasting, but coordinating color of felt.
Arrange face pieces as shown and choose which color buttons and embroidery floss will best coordinating with your socks and felt choices.
To create the face detail, you will first center the smaller circle in the middle of one of the larger circles and pin. Then you will embellish around the outer edge of the small circle with a blanket stitch. Layer the heart, upside down, over the circle and embellish with a blanket stitch.
Add more detail by cutting several 3" lengths of white twine and stitching them on for the whiskers in addition to buttons for the eyes and a set of layered buttons for the nose.
Lay your pair of socks on your work surface and cut off the bottom of the socks just below the heel. These pieces will become the bunny's ears.
Turn each sock inside out and sew a seam by hand or with a machine start at the outer edge of each side of the toe seam and gradually tapering inward leaving a 1" width opening at the bottom. (see black marker lines in the photo as a guideline)Turn socks inside out and stuff with stuffing. Then sandwich the open seams in between the front embellished piece of the face and the plain back piece. Pin in place. Then blanket stitch ¼" in from the edge all the way around making sure to stuff the face with stuffing before stitching it completely closed.
From the remaining sock pieces, cut off the fabric just below the band and just above the ankle. These pieces will become the bunny's arms and legs. Turn the socks inside out and sew one straight line down the length of the sock slightly to the left of center, rounding the seam out toward the outside edge. Repeat again slightly to the right of center, rounding the seam out toward the right outside edge. Trim the pieces apart between the middle seams.Turn right side out and add desired amount of stuffing.For body, trace and cut two ovals from the smallest inside oval in the Shapes Template – Super Sized Ovals package. For the inside of the belly detail, trace and cut the oval from the Shapes Template – Mixed Shapes and Mixed Borders package. Add hand-stitched embellishing using a blanket stitch.
Sandwich arms and legs between the two belly pieces and add a blanket stitch, ¼" from the outside edge all the way around making sure to stitch the arms and legs in place as you go. Before closing the seam completely, add stuffing to the belly.
This bunny can be easily adapted as a gift for the little gentlemen in your life by simply choosing knee-high socks in an appropriate color combination.

By DR. MANNY ALVAREZ, Fox News
MYFOXNY.COM -- Hurricane Sandy destroyed homes and devastated communities all along the East Coast. But for the Heckman family the storm dealt an especially hard blow after destroying their home in Amity Harbor, N.Y.
"I thought nothing could get worse after my son was diagnosed and then to see this, you know, to come back, the hardest part was going into their room and every toy we have ever gotten for them was gone," said Danielle Heckman. In August 2011, Heckman's middle child, Steven, now 6, was diagnosed with acute lymphatic leukemia.
"We evacuated as quickly as we could," Heckman said. "It was barely possible because the water came over the canal even before the storm and was up to our front porch within fifteen minutes."
Steven said: "I was scared that the house was going to break."
The moment they returned and realized they would be homeless, Danielle feared the worst.
"A shelter is not an option at all his immune system is suppressed, and with flu season going around… for Steven to be exposed to that, he'll be back in the hospital," Heckman said.
While the Heckman family is planning on rebuilding their home, they hope for something else a bit more life changing: finding a bone marrow match for their son.
"To know that there is a match, that means that my son will have an even greater chance of getting through this," Heckman said.
Leukemia affects the blood and bone marrow, the spongy center of bones where blood cells are formed. It develops when those blood cells begin to grow out of control.
Treatments like chemotherapy and radiation kill diseased cells, but they also remove healthy ones, leaving the patient with a weakened immune system.
"In order to give the patient a new immune system you need the bone marrow to come in of a matching donor," said Katherine Harf of the DKMS Bone Marrow Donor Center.
Donations can be made in two ways: peripheral blood stem cell donation is like giving blood or bone marrow donation collects cells from the backside of the pelvic bone using a special syringe.
"DKMS is the largest bone marrow center in the world and our big dream is to provide a donor for every single patient in need," Harf said.
The first step in helping to save a life is to register. Go to getswabbed.org to learn how.
"A match for Steven would be a lifeline," Harf said. "If he knows he can find a donor then he knows that he would have that second chance."
That would mean Steven could have more years to do the things he loves:
"Playing with my toys and playing with my two sisters," he said.
"I want him to grow up, go to college, get a really awesome job that he's happy and proud of," his mother said. "Basically have that fairytale ending."

When Creighton moves to the Big East next season, both father and son will be leading the charge.
Today, Blue Jay All-American Doug McDermott announced he will return for his senior season to play for his dad, Greg.
There was speculation that Doug McDermott, who earned first team All-American honors for the second straight year, might bolt for the NBA.
But draft analysts have listed McDermott as only a late first-round to early second-round pick.
McDermott was the nation's second-leading scorer, averaging 23 points a game this past season.

With the Travis Hudson/Bernard Weinstein Invitational championship on the line, O'Toole held a one stroke lead on the 18th green as Matt Gourgeot lined up his birdie putt.
As the putt lipped out, Gourgeot's knees buckled and O'Toole breathed a sigh of relief.
O'Toole knocked in his tap-in for par to earn the win by a stroke over both Gourgeot and Andrew Lee on Sunday at Musgrove Country Club. O'Toole finished with a 208 total following an even par 71 on Sunday.
"(Matt) hit a good putt. He just lipped it out on the high side," O'Toole, 20, said of the nerve-wracking finish. "I felt good about my game this whole week and just got it done."
O'Toole, who was in second place after both the first and second rounds, entered the final round down a stroke to Micah Jett.
O'Toole passed Jett after the first hole on Sunday with a birdie and he built a lead after another birdie on the seventh hole. However, he gave up strokes with a bogey on eight and a double bogey on 10.
"I was a shot back after 10, but I holed out a sand shot on 11 and made a 30 footer for birdie on 12," he said.
O'Toole bogeyed the 14th hole and closed with four straight pars. Gourgeot was done in by bogeys on both the 15th and 16th holes. Lee, who wasn't in the final group, closed the gap to a stroke with a birdie on the 18th hole.
"I've been hitting the ball well lately, but hadn't been able to finish rounds well. I finished pretty well in every round this week. I got off to a good start in the first round (with a four-under 67) and kept it going. I was glad I was able to bounce back after dropping a couple of shots. I'm proud of the way I handled it," said O'Toole, a recent graduate of Central Alabama. He will play golf at the University of Cincinnati next year.
This year's tournament marked the Pinson golfer's second invitational. O'Toole finished in 13th last year. He also played in the Pigeon Dove Junior Tournament when he was a high school golfer.
"I've always loved the course," he said.
Jett, the two-time defending club champion, struggled down the stretch and finished with an eight-over par 79 on the day, after a pair of double bogeys and a triple bogey over the last five holes.
Sunday's round proved tough for competitors. Only three golfers shot under par and four others finished at even par.
Bobby Spiller, the 2008 tournament champion, shot even par on Sunday and placed fourth, two strokes behind O'Toole. He was followed by Steve Hudson (211), Jimmy Reist (212), last year's champion Trey Mullinax (213), David Lawrence (214), Jett (215), Andrew Lowry (215) and Mike Greer (215).
Birmingham's John Coles III, who won the tournament in 1999, 2001 and 2002, won the Championship B Flight with a 217 total. Coles shot a one-over par 72 on Sunday and finished one stroke ahead of Mark Lindsey.
Neil Campbell of Helena won the Championship C flight with a 226 total, one stroke ahead of both Joe Cacioppo of Jasper and Sindre Rambjoer of Montevallo.
Matt Burnett, a Walker High School golfer, won the Championship D flight with a 232 total. He beat out Faulkner golfer Weston Griffith of Jasper on a scorecard playoff.
Chip Mullinax shot a one-over par 72 on Sunday to win the Championship E flight by six strokes with a 232 total.
Danny Simmons of Pleasant Grove (238) won the first flight, Chad Gilliland of Jasper (248) won the second flight, Doug Daughdrill of Jasper (254) won the third flight and Chris Weaver of Tuscaloosa (260) won the fourth flight.

Fashion And Furniture Meet In Milan-------
Today in Milan, the annual Salone del Mobile kicks off—the Milan furniture fair to me and you. And once again, fashion labels from both home and abroad and using the gathering to extend their reach from their clients' clothes to their living spaces, debuting new collections and pieces.
Donatella Versace is one of Milan's hometown heroes breaking out new wares for the occasion. "I think this is our ultimate home collection since it's the perfect blend of fashion and design," she told Style.com of the new offering. "It's pure fashion in 3D! I wanted to make my outfits live in the homes of people and I think I finally succeeded. I love it because it is so direct and powerful that people will have no doubts when they see it: they'll know it's Versace." It's hard to imagine who else would combine leopard print, gold, heraldic crests, and crowns—on a single chair (left). But there's subtler charm, too, in Versace Home's gold-detailed leather sofa and undulating coffee table, debuting exclusively here.
If there's no mistaking Versace, it'd be hard to mistake Maison Martin Margiela, either: the Maison has once again created a temporary apartment at the fair to showcase its furniture, produced by Cerruti Baleri. New for the season is the Lazy console table, scaled-down to off-kilter smallness, and a "shrinking" upholstered headboard, the Lolo (below).

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D Specs [CR2.5]« on: May 18, 2012, 12:46:38 PM »
Don't confuse the Nikon D5100 auto-focus, with a Sony auto-focus. My NEX 5n, using face detection, does a good job of keeping a person in focus as they walk around a room, even at f/2.8. If Sony can do this, why not CanonWell, part of it is that they are different technologies. The way a Canon camera autofocuses for pictures is different than how it does in Live View, and video uses the Live View technology. Canon would have to adapt the SLT technology with a translucent mirror to auto-focus in the exact same way a Sony does. In doing so, they'd give up all the photographic advantages of the mirror, which isn't worth it. Basically, the Nikon autofocus sucks because it doesn't use the focus sensor (due to the mirror being up). I doubt Canon will have solved this in a way that makes it comparable with what sony has in their SLT's, let alone what the FS-700 has.
The FS-700's AF is impressive (though he admitted it makes mistakes that he doesn't show), but, it's also technology from a $10k plus camera...I don't expect Canon to implement that in their Rebel line and have skipped the 5DIII with it.

BLODGETT, MO (CNN/Kfvs) -- As we near Valentine's Day, many are looking for the secret to love. One couple in Missouri, who have been married nearly 70 years, might have the answer.
Nearly 70 years later, they still laugh together and reminisce about the good old days. The parts they remember anyway.
September 1943 is the year Wayne and Polly's journey began. They were next door neighbors. Polly says, "I couldn't stand him." Wayne says, "At first I didn't think too much of her, she just kinda lived there, then she growed on me."
Not too fond of each other at first, but they fell in love. This year Polly will turn 90 and Wayne 87 and they very proud of their big family. Wayne says, "Had seven children." Five girls and two boys.
They have so many grandkids, they can hardly keep up; 17 grandchildren, in fact, and 25 great grandchildren!
Their daughters say the family motto has always been you'll never be poor if you have laughter. For a couple that survived hard economic times, it's evident what's held this family together. That, a good cup of coffee, and honesty.
As for romance, Wayne says, "I always thought if I was here that was enough, with her."
They truly are grateful for one another. Wayne says, "She takes care of me, she's always done that, got to give her credit for that." Polly adds, "He's been a good husband and been a good father, so. Write that down."
They each have their passions. For Wayne it's fishing. Polly loves antiques and books. They say marriage is all about compromise and commitment. Wayne says, "Well, I always thought, you made that commitment, supposed to live by it."
Vowing to stay together through the good times and the bad and their secret weapon of laughter will no doubt help this marriage last a lifetime.
Wayne and Polly will renew their wedding vows on their 70 year anniversary this coming September.

Runners and hikers who frequent the , located off Hallmark Drive in Belmont, will have to find an alternative route over the next few weeks while contractors perform some general maintenance to the 5K+ course.
During the estimated two-week project, the entire area will be closed to the public and the gates will be locked. Work is scheduled to begin Aug. 13 and be completed Aug. 24.
According to Bob Rush, the cross country meet manager and course director, the work will entail smoothing out the trails with a grader, cleaning out culverts, cutting back intrusive brush and poison oak, and cutting some drain openings in the berm to allow water to disburse off the course to reduce erosion.
The , which holds the permit for the course, has hired the construction company Robert A. Bothman, Inc. to do the work. Bothman is also the company doing all the improvements on the CSM campus. The property is owned by the San Francisco Water Department.
Rush points out that all of the the course features and distances will stay the same, thus ensuring that race records are intact. No additional trails will be added.
"I'll be out there everyday to be sure the contractor leaves the course as is," said Rush.
The work is being done prior to the 2012-13 cross country season, which begins in September. The course is used by middle and high schools as well as colleges and running clubs. When meets or practices are not taking place on the course, it is open to the public.
"We have a full permit from SFWD, an environmental impact report, and a permit from the to bring in trucks," said Rush.
"CSM is spending a lot of money on the course, and it's going to be in the best shape it's ever been in," he added.

ATLANTA (AP) - AT&T announced today it plans to add 600 jobs across Georgia, in part, to help expand the phone company's wireless 4G LTE service.
AT&T Georgia President Sylvia Russell said the company will hire 1,000 workers this year in the Peach State to both replace staff vacancies and expand its staff. AT&T is hiring full- and part-time employees in network construction and maintenance, customer support, retail and other positions. The company plans to begin filling these positions immediately.
Many of the new positions are the result of AT&T's recently announced Project Velocity IP, a three-year multibillion dollar investment plan to expand and enhance its national wireless and wired IP broadband networks. As part of Project VIP, AT&T Wireless plans to add more than 10,000 macro sites, more than 1,000 distributed antenna systems and more than 40,000 small cells. The phone giant plans to expand 4G LTE to cover more than 300 million people by the end of 2014 and deploy fiber to an additional 1 million business locations by the end of 2015. In addition, it will expand and enhance the AT&T wired IP broadband network to cover approximately 75 percent of customer locations in its wired service area by the end of 2015.
"As AT&T continues to invest in our network and expand our customer base in Georgia, we're committed to providing excellent customer service," Russell said.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said the additional jobs will provide opportunities in one of the fastest-growing parts of the Georgia economy.
"Georgia businesses and consumers are using more communications services such as wireless and broadband," Deal said.
AT&T currently employs more than 21,000 employees in Georgia. To see

its actually better than most others as it has all the ports and ares for usb, earphones, etc. it really DOESN'T add extra bulk and the stand is amazing. but i am really not happy with the screen guard as it has AMIGO written on it... i took out the guard and replaced it with another one. overall 4 out of 5.
Read the items very clearly before placing the order. They don't exchange for wrong order. Nothing wrong on their behalf. But, personally I feel this facility shall be there for online booking, as you are not physically checking the item.
In this competitive market for on-line shopping, as a customer we should get this advantage. I had ordered for an item by seeing the header title of the item and didn't go to check the specification. Finally, the product is not matching as I wanted and they refused to exchange saying we had delivered the product you ordered so it's your fault. Again noth... (Expand)

I had one psps cover which was better this ones also good except i replaced its screen having "AMIGO" with the old one cause its quite disturbing during game exceot that i think you can go for it... Flikart service was great i got in a day
first of all, it is good to have smthin like this 2 protect the psp. but it is not practical bec. it ghas amigo written on it which restricts your gameplay.............so it has to be used buy

Apex New supersedes Apex Sans, which was originally released in early 2003. Once the design was released, I started work on Apex Serif, Thirstype's first OpenType font family; then returned to Apex Sans in early 2004, with a view to extending the glyphset and combining the Small Caps and numeral sets into OpenType fonts. As I worked, I started seeing the type's flaws, and set about fixing them.
Two years later, Apex New was finished. All weights of the type have been revised, and everything heavier than Book has been completely redrawn. The bold weights which had previously 'closed up', especially at smaller sizes, are now more open with subtle contrast; the new version has been described as 'elegant'. The family has grown to seven weights, with over a thousand glyphs in each font. The font files are cross-platform CFF-flavoured OpenType, with loads of basic and advanced features.
Grateful thanks and acknowledgment for guidance and assistance are due to: Tracy Jenkins, Christian Schwartz, Karsten Luecke, Adam Twardoch, Jacob Øvergaard, Martin Turzík, Oscar Bjarnason, and Adam Pituła.
Apex New Styles
Apex New is available in seven feature-rich weights in Roman and Italic with built-in small caps.

DERRY — The Town Council voted unanimously to conduct its own inquiry of Town Administrator John Anderson after a warrant for his arrest on indecent exposure and lewd behavior charges was issued this afternoon.
Anderson was not present as councilors, meeting for nearly 90 minutes in closed session, also decided to continue Anderson's paid suspension until the inquiry is complete.
A police affidavit released today alleges that Anderson made sexual advances toward a DirectTV salesman who knocked on the door of his Lane Road home July 11.
Anderson, who invited the salesman inside, was nude and asked him to take off his own clothes, according to the affidavit. Anderson, town administrator since 2010, invited him to return later in the day for a party and asked if he was gay, the affidavit said.
Anderson, 50, then masturbated in front of the salesman, the affidavit said.
The council voted July 12 to place Anderson on paid leave and made Assistant Town Larry Budreau the acting town administrator, deciding he would be only the person to comment on the town's behalf.
Those conditions remain in effect, council Chairman Michael Fairbanks said. His colleagues declined to comment yesterday as they left the council chambers.
Budreau said after the meeting that the council wanted the chance to learn more about the charges against Anderson and to question him in person.
Budreau said he expects the inquiry will be done within the next week and another emergency meeting scheduled.
Anderson could face up to a year in jail if convicted on each of the two misdemeanor charges he faces, Rockingham County Attorney James Reams said.
Reams said he did not know when Anderson would be arrested. He said Anderson's attorney was speaking with authorities to determine when he would turn himself in.
Anderson, whose contract is up for renewal this fall, earns $124,962 a year.
