I have been told that I was selected to interview not only because of my professional experience but because I was a UW-La Crosse graduate and had my MS in Sport Administration from there.

Lowe's teams with Habitat for Humanity to help rebuild Gulf Coast homes, communities
Home improvement company, vendor partners commit $2.8 million for Habitat's hurricanes Katrina, Rita recovery efforts
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Nov. 18, 2005) – In an extension of its long-standing support of Habitat for Humanity, today Lowe's announced that its vendor partners are making possible a $2.8 million donation to help the rebuilding effort in hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast communities. The money was contributed as part of a Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation fund raising event, and will be used in 2006 to build homes with families displaced by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
"The devastation and tremendous personal losses sustained in that region were so enormous that we, along with our vendor partners, wanted to do what we can to help," explained Larry D. Stone, chairman of the Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation. "It is gratifying to see that Lowe's vendors support our company's commitment to Habitat, as we have been able to see first-hand the impact Habitat makes on people's lives every day and we're so pleased to be able to help in this massive rebuilding effort."
Lowe's has long supported Habitat for Humanity's efforts to build simple, decent, affordable homes with families in need and, in the past two years alone, has contributed more than $6 million to Habitat for Humanity. As national underwriter of Habitat's Women Build program, Lowe's provides both financial support and training to women volunteers, helping to construct 150 Women Build houses throughout 2005. This year, Lowe's also helped sponsor The Jimmy Carter Work Project, during which 234 Habitat homes were dedicated across the state of Michigan.
"While the Gulf Coast rebuilding effort will take time, the kind of ongoing support we get from Lowe's helps ensure that we are able to assist in that effort as much as we can" said Jonathan Reckford, chief executive officer for Habitat for Humanity International. "Through today's gift, Lowe's and its vendor partners have helped numerous families take another step to recovery and a return to normalcy."
In addition, Lowe's and its customers are now in the process of raising additional funds to support Habitat's work in the region through the company's Homes for the Holidays program. From Nov. 14 to Dec. 12, Lowe's customers can make a donation to Habitat for Humanity International at any Lowe's store, with the funds going toward rebuilding homes of some Gulf Coast families.

text: It looks like fantasy is in in 2011. You've got ONCE UPON A TIME on ABC and NBC has their own "storybook" fantasy show called GRIMM, though GRIMM is more of a monster-of-the-week show ala THE X-FILES and the like. Still, it's got the same theme as ONCE UPON A TIME in that it takes the "storybook" element and makes them real. Or real-ish, anyway. First season promos from the show, currently airing on NBC, after the jump.

KENNETT, MO (KAIT) - The Kennett Police Department is shaming shoplifters by releasing their names to the public. Some local shops around town are fond of the idea. They feel it will eliminate the amount of sticky fingers in town.
"I think it's a very good idea," said Ted's Jewelry Owner, Ted Burnett.
The Kennett Police Department decided to take action when shoplifting started to become a big problem. The idea of "shaming the shoplifter" seemed to be the most effective way to prevent shoplifters from stealing.
"The Chief had a vision to get the names of the shop lifters out there to help deter those crimes in the future," said Lt. Tim Trowbridge.
By starting this new program, they hope it will eliminate the amount of shoplifters they deal with daily.
"Because there are so many of them on a day to day basis the idea of making shoplifting more of a serious crime is to put their names out there to shame these people. Maybe having their names posted to the media will deter them from coming to Kennett to shop lift," said Lt. Trowbridge.
Lt. Trowbridge said he is hoping to see a less amount of shoplifting in town with the start of this new program.

Stanford heads to Rose Bowl after 27-24 win
Original post made on Nov 30, 2012
Jordan Williamson made a 36-yard field goal with 6:49 left to play and the Stanford defense made it hold up as the Cardinal earned a berth in the Rose Bowl game for the first time since 2000 with a 27-24 victory over UCLA in the Pac-12 Championship game on a rainy Friday night in Stanford Stadium.

"Since Gov. Robert Bentley and the Republican legislature took office in 2010, Alabama has made great strides in the past four years in the areas of education, ethics, and economic development, but there is a great deal of work yet to be done," Roberts said. "I'm proud of the role I have played in bringing jobs to Walker County and the rest of Alabama, and I hope the citizens of House District 13 will allow me to continue fighting for their interests in Montgomery."
During the 2012 legislative session, Roberts sponsored and passed landmark legislation that created enhanced incentives needed to attract coal mining projects to Alabama. Shortly after his bill became law, Walter Energy announced its decision to build a $1.2 billion facility that will bring more than 530 high-paying jobs to Alabama, including a barge load-out facility in Walker County.
Walter Energy officials credited Roberts' bill for the plant's final location, saying it was critical in the decision whether to locate in Canada or Alabama. The project represents the company's largest capital outlay in its history.
Prior to his retirement, Roberts was employed as vice president of human resources for CMI International and routinely dealt with companies from around the globe in that role.
From 1972 to 1976, he served as Alabama's Assistant Commissioner of Labor.
Active in his community, Roberts is a volunteer with the Salvation Army and is a past board member of the American Foundrymen's Education Association.
Roberts and his wife, Sandra, have one son, David.

I think Kid Chocolate has the style to bring out the best of GGG. I think Sergio vs GGG would be a dull fight do to the styles. I dont want see 12 rounds of Sergio moving around pot shotting and GGG trying to cut the ring off. Kid Chocolate is big and has some pop. But at times he looks kind of shaky on his fight, ala Tito Trinadad. This is the kind of fight that will answer some questions about both fighters.

Changed my mind on this. Me thinks quillen can win this fight, after watching the fight again against rosado Gennady was hurt several times and backing up against a Jr middleweight. I think a guy with quillens patience power counter ability and quickness being a full fledged middleweight will give golovkin a hurting especially if ggg doesn't learn to move his head more. I like this fight, both of these guys to me are more hype than anything still even tho quillen had his coming out party in his last fight.
But if either fights a guy like macklin I won't be mad at all

(FOX 11 / AP) The owner of four pit bulls that killed a woman jogger in a gruesome mauling was charged with murder Thursday in a highly unusual case that strained the memories of law enforcement officials to find comparable uses of the felony murder law.
Alex Jackson, 29, was charged after DNA tests on his dogs found blood on their muzzles and coats that matched that of Pamela Devitt, 63, who died after being bitten 150 to 200 times by his four pit bulls.
"The DNA came back with blood on the dogs that matched the victim's blood," said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.
Whitmore and others said it was the first dog mauling case they could recall since the 2001 trial of a San Francisco couple convicted in the death of a neighbor who was mauled by their giant dog.
Marjorie Knoller received a 15-years-to-life sentence after a jury found her guilty of second-degree murder. In rejecting her appeal, the California Supreme Court ruled that Knoller acted with a conscious disregard for human life when her 140-pound Presa Canario escaped and killed Diane Whipple in an apartment building hallway.
Knoller's husband, Noel, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
The warrant against Jackson also charges him with owner negligence of an animal causing death, said Jane Robison, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office. He also faces charges of growing marijuana.
From Hal Eisner:
29 year old Alex Jackson, who's charged with 2nd degree murder in the death of 63 year old Pamela Divitt, walked into a glass witness booth in the Antelope Valley Courthouse for his arraignment, but instead of making a plea he asked for a continuance.
The case revolves around a dog mauling. Investigators says Divitt was attacked by 4 pit bulls that belong to Jackson. All on the loose and, by all accounts, a vicious attack. The Coroner said she had 150 to 200 puncture wounds.
When Deputies went to his home they found what they called a pot growing operation and 8 dogs. Six were pit bulls. Four, according to the investigation, had evidence of blood in their coats.
Deputy DA Samantha Macdonald would not elaborate on the 2nd degree murder charge except to say there had been a similar case in Northern California and that it involved "implied malice." What's that I asked repeatedly. "You'll have to look it up" she'd reply. Why? She didn't want to give away much of her case.
In addition to the 2nd degree murder charge there are also those related to the pot allegations. The judge ordered him held on 1,050,000 bail and granted his request for a continuance.
His new arraignment date is June 14th.

Should Pregnant Women Celebrate Mother's Day?
Should Pregnant Women Celebrate Mother's Day?
by POPSUGAR Moms 43 Reactions 0 Shares Print
I found out I was pregnant with my first child in June so I had her in my arms when I first celebrated Mother's Day.
But, some mamas-to-be expect all the hoopla, be it a brunch, a spa day or family get together and gifts before their wee one is welcomed into the world.
Does it make sense for women with impending babes to be celebrated?

Mother's Day
3 years
...one more thing...once a mother, ALWAYS a mother. How dare people judge a woman because she lost a baby through m/c, had a stillborn, SIDS, or by any other means. If motherhood is in her heart, she will always be a mother...be it to her own flesh and blood, by caring for a relative, or another child that needs a foster/adoptive parent. Love is love, and there's nothing like a mother's love...don't judge...if you don't agree with at what point a woman becomes a mother, don't impose and tell her that she shouldn't celebrate mother's day. A woman (assuming that she wants to have a baby) goes through pregnancy with the hopes and expectations of caring for the child after it's born. In the meantime, EVERYTHING she does during pregnancy is also a form of caring for the child, thus making her a MOTHER in some form or another. Yes, this is my opinion, but I'm going to go with the suggestion that the woman and her partner/spouse make the call on whether they decide to celebrate or not! Again, Happy Mother's Day to ALL mothers (whether expecting, or those who have already given birth to their child(ren))!!! :)

It's a personal decision, regardless of the outcome. If you choose to be negative or superstitious, that's your decision. If you choose to embrace the fact that you are being a mother by caring for your fetus, being careful about what you eat, stress levels, overall health, and having to endure the physical changes (weight gain, morning sickness, hormonal changes, compression of organs to accommodate a growing baby, swelling hands & feet, frequent urination, sleepless nights, just to name a FEW, I say go ahead and CELEBRATE!!! The experience is between you and your spouse anyways, so there's no need to be concerned about what other people think about it. Enjoy your mother's day!

What if your carrying a child in your womb that has a high chance of dying before birth or after birth. What if you just found out your baby is still born, your still pregnant with that stillborn. And now awaiting induction or c-section to birth your still born?

Since being pregnant I have been hospitalized twice, on bedrest since 22 wks, and worried about every THING related to the baby, its health, and development. If that doesn't qualify me for Motherhood--not sure what does. I celebrated and had a GREAT time!

I am a week away from my ninth month of my pregnancy, and I didn't expect anything really, besides a "Happy Mother's Day!" My boyfriend ended up buying me flowers, which was very sweet. I don't expect gifts and cards and all of that, but it was nice to feel acknowledged. I think you are still considered a mother when you are carrying your child, given that you are caring for him/her and treating your body right during the pregnancy. And my due date is actually June 15th, which is Father's Day this year....so if the baby arrives on that day or not, I will be getting something for my boyfriend...as much as I am a mother right now, he is a father!

i don't like to count my chickens till they've hatched but hey it's cool for someone else i think the first mother's day when you're pregnant is special because you know it's your last mother's day not being a mom it's a beautiful treat to think "next mother's day and for each one that comes after that - i will be a mom"

duck duck goose I don't agree. So if a woman had several miscarriages and was never able to successfully carry a pregnancy to term, is she still a mother just because long ago there used to be an embryo or fetus in her womb?

ohjeeze, No double standard here. I plan on making something really cute for my husband from the baby.

I'd say that the people in a pregnant woman's life shouldn't feel obligated to celebrate Mother's Day for her in an extravagant way. But if she wants to celebrate and loved ones are on board, why not?

I'm also due in August (less than two weeks from my 3rd trimester) and I'm spending the day with my husband. Honestly, knowing he acknowledges our new roles as parents is enough for me. I feel very much a mother these days, my little one is kicking up a storm and my love for her/him is overwhelming. I've already picked up some cute "how to dad" guide books for him for Father's Day. I consider him a father already and it does go both ways.

Yes — Mothering starts at conception.

It's funny this came up. My husband and I hve had a running argument about whether I should celebrate Mother's Day this year. Our first baby is due about two weeks after Mother's Day, but I feel it doesn't count unless I have the baby in my arms. I think I'm mostly just scared to jinx myself since my own mother had two VERY LATE miscarriages. (I get nervous every time I look at the nursery which is nearly done now.) My husband says that I'm a mother since I'm holding a baby within me. We've decided to compromise by having him make me my favorite dessert as a gift. I wouldn't be shocked if there is a card tucked away somewhere too. On the other hand, I can't wait to get him a Father's Day gift.

Yes, they should definitely celebrate. (And the picture for this story is too cute :))

Today on ellen, the whole audience was expecting mothers! She gave away all sorts of stuff for Mother's Day. I caught the last 10 minutes, but apparently Jessica Alba was there. I gave my husband an xBox 360 2 years ago for Father's Day, before we even seriously talked about having kids! (I gave birth March 2008!)

Yes!!! I wouldn't expect a hoopla! (btw that totally reminds of the episode of Friends where it's Ross' birthday hoopla) but flowers card or small gift always makes a person smile! Why not?

To me motherhood starts when you have the desire to be a Mom. I had a friend who struggled for yaers to conceive and then carry to term her first child, I always loved celebrating Mothers day with her, just because she didn't have any of her babies (at the time) with her here on Earth didn't make her any less of a Mother than I was with my children. She now does have a beautiful healthy 2.5 year old. I think if a pregnant woman want's to celebrate Mother's Day there is nothing wrong with that - it may be the only one they get to celebrate - you just never know.

"Imagine the implication that the many women who have suffered miscarriages and were unable to carry their babies to a live and healthy delivery are not and never were *real* mothers, just because their little ones struggled and perished in the womb." Amen!! And I believe I've already answered the question of if equal treatment would be given to the father, ohjeeze. :) In my experience, it's pretty much the same with others - if mom celebrates Mother's Day during pregnancy, dad celebrates Father's Day. Assuming he wants to.
JennyJen2 6 years
Yes- my husband and I did nice things for one another while I was pregnant.
ohjeeze 6 years
Yes lades, but are you going to do something nice for your husband once father's day arrives? If motherhood begins at conception when does fatherhood begin, or is it double standard?

As a woman who's in her 7th month pregnant and one who also had a miscarriage prior, I so appreciate your words duck duck goose! Yes, I might not have had my sleepless nights of getting up and feeding, or have taken care of a kid who's sick, but I do consider myself a mother. I sing to my unborn son, read him stories and make sure I take all 6 vitamins a day to ensure that I'm taking good care of him. I don't necessarily expect a lot of hoopla on Sunday, but let me tell you tears came to my eyes when my mother sent me a Happy Soon-to Be-Mother's Day card this week. It meant a lot to me.

Pregnant women are mothers. Imagine the implication that the many women who have suffered miscarriages and were unable to carry their babies to a live and healthy delivery are not and never were *real* mothers, just because their little ones struggled and perished in the womb. Nope, I'm not on board with that. Every pregnant woman is a mother (whether she is aware of it or not) -- regardless of whether her baby survives the pregnancy. If it makes a pregnant Mama happy, celebrate.
kittyhill 6 years
I think mothering is a lifelong calling, whether you end up having children or not. All women are mothers to nieces, nephews, students, mentees, etc., in addition to or instead of their own children. At my church on Mother's Day they give a gift to every adult woman, regardless of whether she's pregnant or not, a mother or not. I like that. It doesn't exclude women who haven't been able to have their own children yet.
Greggie 6 years
If she wants to, absolutely. Why not? If she has reasons for not wanting to, that's perfect too. I was due with my first the beginning of July and we celebrated both Mother's and Father's Day before he was born.

I don't know, I kind of wanted my hubby to do something for me when I was pregnant with my first on M-day. But at the same time I also felt a bit guilty. SO I never figured this one out.
LizL 6 years
I expect my first in August...but I am not even going to see my husband on Sunday. He's going to spend the day with his mom, and I am going to spend the day with mine. I think we each realize that next year, things might be a little different.
elephantheart 6 years
Um, well maybe in a more moderated way. Yes, your life has changed because you are pregnant, and you are technically a mother, so there is some level of recognition that should be there. But I wouldn't expect my husband to throw me a party or anything; it'd be a bit ridiculous.
AVA-MARiE 6 years
I think that pregnant women have a right to celebrate, even if it's just buying something nice for baby, or something for herself. You are a mother at conception since your actions revolve around your baby. Me, personally, I don't see how I could "celebrate" mothers day -- but I would appreciate it if I got a card from my husband that's like "You're my wife, and the mother of my child, I love you." That's about it.
peepshow 6 years
I would celebrate it! She's already a mother! Unless of course, the pregnant woman is planning on giving her babe up for adoption, then no.
lickety-split 6 years
yes. there are few enough times to celebrate and so much unhappiness in the world; why not enjoy something nice. my daughter's first grade teacher lost her baby to sids last month. seems a shame that someone would say "i'll wait till next year" and then not get next year. celebrate life!

My husband and my parents got me mother's day cards when I was pregnant and I really appreciated it.

I said other, I think motherhood starts at conception for sure but actually "celebrating" Mother's Day? I don't know. We don't really "celebrate" it, just do fun stuff and I get lots of cute pictures. My aunt did send me a mother-to-be Mother's Day card a few years ago, and that was really sweet.
Martini-Rossi 6 years
yes, your a mom when your pregnant. You are carrying around ur child, still taking the precaution of ur childs health into account. I think pregnant woman have the right to celebrate that Mothers Day to the fullest!
schnappycat 6 years
I think it depends on the woman and situation. I was newly pregnant last Mother's Day, but was still so anxious and nervous about it (having had a previous m/c and just done IVF), I certainly was too superstitious to celebrate. We hadn't even told family and I was still relatively in denial. My husband didn't even mention it, knowing me and my feelings. But if I had been safely in the 3rd trimester, I might have thought differently.
Rhiannon 6 years
I am due with my first in September, I don't expect a full day of celebration.I did hint to my Hubby that a pregnancy body pillow would make a lovely gift, since I am now wrestling with 3 pillows every night to get to sleep.
anniekim 6 years
I don't know--maybe something low key if you're really excited. This was a non issue for me. The superstitious side of me gets nervous.
mini_pixie 6 years
I think the best thing about Mother's Day is the gifts your kids give, and that's kinda hard to swing without one :) I don't expect people to go full on, but a little recognition is always nice. Maybe flowers from the partner, a little something that says "you are the mother of my child." I don't believe in extravagant Mother's Day presents anyhow.
wonderwoman80 6 years
I didn't expect gifts or too much hoopla, but it was nice to receive a card from my husband given that I was a month away from having my son. I don't think you need to go all out, but there is nothing wrong with recognizing that you're going to be a mother.
Gabriela14815884 6 years
I chose no though I think that is a personal choice. I personally believe that motherhood begins at birth so I didn't celebrate Mother's Day when I was pregnant.

Electrical failure shuts Hungary's main airport
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) - Hungary's Budapest Airport has been shut down due to electrical problems in the control tower.
Airport spokesman Mihaly Hardy said Friday that flights to Budapest were being diverted to Vienna, Bratislava, Slovakia, and other airports, until the problem could be resolved. The airport was shut at 1050 GMT.
Hardy said operations at Ferenc Liszt International Airport, as Hungary's largest airport is officially called, are expected to resume Saturday mid-morning.

DEL MAR (CBS 8) - A Del Mar shopping center is back open Tuesday morning, after a large-diameter gas leak prompted evacuations.
The gas leak was reported at the Flower Hill Promenade in the 2700 block of Via De La Valle around 7:00 a.m.
Construction crews, working on the new shopping center, ruptured an underground, two-inch natural gas line, causing the leak. Hundreds of people were evacuated until SDG&E crews were able to get the leak under control. Crews were eventually able to pinch off the line, which made it safe for people to return to the stores and open for businesses shortly before 9:00 a.m.
Crews will remain on scene Tuesday until the repair work is completed.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a body believed to be that of a missing 34-year-old Virginia firearms dealer has been found in northern Arizona.
Flagstaff police Sgt. James Jackson says a body believed to be that of William Andrew Holzgrefe of the Richmond area was found last week near Williams in a wooded area of the Kaibab National Forest.
According to Jackson, authorities consider the death an apparent suicide. He says they're waiting for dental records to make the identification final.
Holzgrefe was last seen in December in Flagstaff after visiting Las Vegas.
His rental car was found several hundred yards from where the body was found by a man looking for antelope antlers.

The sound of recovery could be heard at Celebration Church of God in Roanoke County Sunday morning. You would have never known that earlier this week, valuable items were stolen from the church and the sanctuary walls were littered with graffiti.
"On the inside wall here, around here, and back here," said Pastor Sam Belisle.
Belisle has not forgotten, but he and his congregation have moved on.
"For the most part it has past because you can't live in anger. We can, but we are called not to."
The room here was filled with joy as a few hundred people packed the church pews singing plenty of praise and worship songs.
"We've never been through something like this before, but blessings are sometimes in disguise," said Carla Hazelwood, a church member.
After cleanup crews finished wiping away all the graffiti it took volunteers just two and a half hours on Thursday to repaint all the walls
"What may have been meant to try to destroy our spirit or destroy our worship today made us stronger," said Terry Kemp, Children's Pastor.
Police have yet to name any suspects, but Belisle says he's forgiven whoever tagged the temple of God.
"I led them in a prayer of forgiving whoever did this act to our church and that was a small step and part of that whole forgiveness because some people may still harbor ill will."

More than 300 people pulled out their best green formal wear and high-steppped to the 2011 Mayors' Shamrock Ball Saturday night at in Florissant.
The event, started four years ago with the premise of being a fundraiser for a good cause was a success, said Hazelwood City Clerk Colleen Wolf, a Mayors' Shamrock Ball Coordinating Committee memeber, with more than $35,000 in support from sponsors alone.
"We were hoping to get well over 300 attendees, and we did," Wolf said. "We start planning this event in September to ensure a quality event, and over the years that has shown as more and more people come out."
The event has grown so much it had to be moved from its original site at Florissant City Hall to this year's location at Garden Villas North.
Wolf's husband, Chief Carl Wolf came up with the concept, which he developed from attending the St. Louis Mayor's Ball during Mardi Gras, said Tim Davidson, Hazelwood's communications coordinator.
Mayor Matthew Robinson, Mayor Robert Lowery and Mayor Norman McCourt co-hosted the event in matching sashes and top hats, while residents and employees of all three cities, as well as supporters from as far as St. Peters and Glen Carbon danced the night away.
"This is one of the worthiest causes," said Mayor Lowery. "These employees are so deserving of the support, and it's great that all three cities come together for this special cause."
The Shamrock Ball is a fundraiser for the Sheltered Workshop in Hazelwood. Valley Industries is a nonprofit organization that provides employment for adults with developmental disabilities.
Valley Industries' Employees of the Year, Robert Collier and Eileen Prelutsky, were crowned king and queen of the ball. They wore crowns throughout the event showing so. The company began in Florissant and later moved to Hazelwood. The money goes toward operational costs, such as employee payroll, which Hazelwood City Councilman Don Ryan said is very important.
"My younger brother Chris worked at Valley Industries," Ryan said. "He has a developmental disability, and it was great for him to work there."
During the past three years, the Mayors' Shamrock Ball has raised more than $30,000. The first year of the event, the organizers went to the Hazelwood, Florissant and Black Jack mayors, asking if they would take part, as Valley Industries serves many residents in those three municipalities.
"We just want to help them because they help our residents," Mayor Robinson said of the fundraiser for Valley Industries. "Everyone should have the opportunity for gainful quality employment, and what's better than making sure the disabled in North County have a supportive place to work?"
The night included great Irish-themed food, beverages and baked goods from local eateries including , Choices Catering, , , , , , and Garden Villas North.
Bob Kuban and his band entertained the crowd with live music and brother-sister duo Jacob and Abbigail Sieve provided a traditional Irish dance performance. Jacob recently qualified to compete in the 41st Annual World Irish Dance Championships in Dublin in April.

THE WORLD LOST a good man Sept. 22 when my good friend Rev. John Patterson passed away with his family surrounding him at the Grove City Medical Center.
To his friends and family, he was better known as 'Jack.'
When I served as sports editor here at Allied News from 2002-09, Jack was one of my correspondents and did a fine job covering Lakeview and Mercer high schools.
Jack made my job easier, because I was able to focus on George Junior, Grove City and Slippery Rock.
Jack and I would clash from time-to-time about how stories should be constructed, but that never diminished my fondness of Jack and his beloved Dot — also an Allied News correspondent.
Despite our quarrels, I could depend on Jack to recount the game's — always basketball and baseball — happenings accurately.
More importantly — it's hard to find something more important in journalism than accuracy — but Jack had a deep heart felt compassion for the kids he covered and I've tried to emulate those feelings over the years.
He truly cared about the kids as well as the coaches that participated in competitive sports at Lakeview and Mercer during that time.
I specifically remember how happy he was when the Mercer boys basketball team finally won a game many moons ago during a tough time in the program's storied history back in the early 2000s.
And how dismayed he felt when District 10 in its ultimate wisdom had Mercer and Lakeview play in the opening round of the basketball playoffs at Sharon High School, because one of his schools had to lose.
I'll also remember that trademarked smile and the laugh.
He'd also ask about my wife and kids everytime he saw them.
But as his health faded, he wasn't able to do games any more and it was a shame, because he'd always recount how sports writing was just a hobby.
But based on our conversations, I think it was more of a lifelong dream to cover sports and I was glad to have afforded him the opportunity to do so.
I just wish he would've had the chance to do it longer, but I know since Dot passed away several years ago, he's ached to join her in Heaven.
While I'll miss him, I know he's in a better place.
I just wish I could've relayed some stories to his children, their spouses and grandchildren, but I didn't find out about his death until the viewings and funeral had come and gone.
For one final time, thanks for all the hard work Jack.

The kids club had very friendly staff. I am not sure if it was not the right "mix" with my kids and others, or not the right "mix" with the staff (who were nothing but nice--don't get me wrong), but my kids never favored to go to the camp. Quite surprising, as our last cruise (non Disney), they were chomping at the bit to go to the camp. My kids were not kicking and screaming NOT to go, just not favored themselves to go.
The characters were great (and plentiful). Bring an autograph book with you beforehand for the kids to get their signatures.
The meals were decent, a little on the luke warm end, but very tasty. I favored Lumiere's the best. Palo's was FANTASTIC....a must. Our server (Andrea) was fantastic and attentive in every way!
We chose midship and deck 1 as our youngest (age 5) has a tendency to get motion sick. SHE DID NOT, but i have to say you really feel the boat move (side to side) even on deck 1. It wasn't rough waters either. Something to note. It's because of the size of the ship.
The entertainment was great. Loved the Dream show. Found it to be a bit hard to juggle early dinner and a later show as my kids are in bed by 8p nightly (especially after a full vacation/sun filled day).
The staff were friendly and attentive and genuine. The staff (especially the gentleman from Spain in the gift shop)--he was so much fun!

Hereford target fresh investment
10:32am Saturday 22nd February 2014 in Sport
HEREFORD United officials believe the new leases for Edgar Street will open doors to safeguard the club's future.
This month has seen the Bulls sign the documents with Herefordshire Council to give them security on their ground for the next 30 years.
That will be extended by 250 years by the council if the club develop either end of the stadium, which remains their aim.
Hereford will also now be eligible for grant funding for any future development to the tune of £400,000 in the Conference and £750,000 in the Football League.
In addition, they hope to be able to attract fresh investment to the club during a season that has seen them narrowly avoid a winding-up order.
A club statement said: "Following the agreement and signing of the new leases for the Edgar Street stadium, the chairman and the board of directors of Hereford United are now looking for the business and football club to be put on a stable footing and to be able to build positively for the future.
"The club is now in a prime position to attract significant investment from parties that in investing, can not only oversee the development of either end of the ground commercially, which in turn will financially benefit the football club, but also underpin the club's focus to return to the Football League with all of the additional funding and commercial benefits that this brings.
"The club will now be widening its search for investment and potential new ownership if that is required to take the club forward."
It added that chairman David Keyte remained committed to the long-term success of the club and making it a 52-week community facility.
Keyte has also said he would step down from his position if "it is commercially the right deal for all parties".
The statement continued: "His vision has not changed - to make Hereford United a successful Football League club, benefiting from its history and high profile all over the world."

It looks fun and relaxing, but parasailing can quickly turn dangerous or even deadly. Over the past few decades, there have been numerous deaths along Bay Area beaches, but the industry still remains largely unregulated.
The most recent tragedy involved 27-year-old Alejandra White, who went by Alex. She came to Clearwater Beach with her fiance, Shaun Ladd, from Georgia in September of 2010. They were being pulled behind the Sky Screamer when the weather turned bad.
"I remember there were just a couple quick gusts of wind, and the parasail was getting tossed around," Ladd recalled.
The rope snapped and the couple floated high in the sky before coming back down to the water, and dumping Ladd out of the harness.
"I heard her scream behind me, but I figured it just tossed her out as well," continued Ladd.
But White was still strapped in the harness and witnesses on the beach watched in horror as she was dragged across the sand and right into a volleyball pole.
"As soon as I got to the beach, I saw her there on the ground and thought she wasn't conscious, but I thought she had just sucked some water in," he said.
It was far worse. Alex White died six days later at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg.
"Its horrible to think it could have been preventable," said Mark McCulloh, the founder of the Parasail Safety Council.
McCulloh has been involved in the industry since the 1970s and says he's invented much of the modern day equipment. The family of Alex White filed a civil lawsuit and McCulloh has been hired as an expert witness in the case.
Nobody from the Sky Screamer wanted to comment on our story, but the insurance company settled the lawsuit. The terms were confidential and there was no admission of any wrongdoing.
McCulloh believes White will not be the last person to die in a parasail accident, and he's pushing for equipment changes to make it safer.
"I'm convinced now, without equipment changes, you cannot regulate yourself out of fatalities. It's just not going to happen," he says.
McCulloh believes a gondola chair is the way to go. He says it's much safer than harnesses now being used by most operators.
Since he began tracking parasailing problems in the early '80s, McCulloh estimates there have been 429 serious accidents, including 72 deaths. More than a dozen fatalities occurred in Florida, and five since just 2001.
He's been called as an expert witness in dozens of cases.
"I can tell you every one of them; it's the same question that comes up. 'Where did it fail? What went wrong? Why is my loved one dead?' I live though their tragedies, every single one of them."
McCulloh say he also can't explain to the families of loved ones why, throughout the U.S., no state or federal agency inspects or certifies the equipment.
Parasailing boats are certified by the Coast Guard, but that's just for the number of passengers and has nothing to do with parasailing operation. The past few years, lawmakers in Tallahassee have tried to pass legislation, but every attempt has failed.
"There is obviously a problem and I don't begin to try and understand why bills fail," said Larry Meddock, the executive director of the Water Sports Industry Association.
A few years ago, his organization opened up to parasail operators.
"The overwhelming majority of our members want to run a safe, secure operation for their guests. They don't want to get anybody hurt."
Meddock says the Coast Guard does not want to get involved and he's working on establishing voluntary guidelines with operators. He defends the activity when people question the past safety record.
"If you looked at the number of parasail hours aloft, look at the number of people who parasail, yeah, parasailing is very safe."
While there is disagreement over the safety of parasailing, one final piece of advice from McCulloh that nobody quibbles over:
"If there's bad weather coming, I would just advise the public stay off the boat."

- 1 cup safflower oil
- 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese, divided use
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Cook's notes: If desired, just before serving, remove the amount of dressing you think you'll be using and add some minced fresh tarragon or basil. If you add the herbs to the entire mixture and then store in the refrigerator, the herbs loose their fresh taste.
1. Combine oil and blue cheese in small bowl or measuring cup with a handle. Using the tines of a fork, mash about 1/2 of the blue cheese into the oil. Stir in the remaining cheese, vinegar, garlic salt and ground black pepper.
2. Can be stored for 2 weeks in the refrigerator, well-sealed in a nonreactive container.
Before use, stir dressing. Add just enough dressing to lightly coat the lettuce leaves.

But in the interest of full disclosure, I confess that I've been that guy. Two decades ago when I was first starting out in computer security, I too was looking to drum up business. I think nearly every independent hacker considers the same simple plan: Scan lots of businesses, find weaknesses, and offer fix-it or find-it services. Every website and computer network on the Internet has existing, publicly accessible weaknesses and flaws. Hey, we're just highlighting them to the owners. It's a proactive service for the good of the community.
Except it stinks from an ethics standpoint. Thankfully, although I considered it, I didn't follow my urges. I realized that the only way to build a good reputation was to do white-hat hacking when invited by the owners or custodians.
It's like driving by a business or home at night and checking to see if the doors are locked and the alarms are engaged -- then notifying the owner that they aren't and offering your services to make sure the locks are automatically secured from now on. I think I know how most people would respond to that offer, and I doubt the local constabulary would hesitate to oblige.
A measured response
With the online equivalent, it's a little trickier. If you respond harshly, you risk offending the hacker; the next time they explore your network you might not know about it. The Internet is full of stories of spurned, previously "good guy" hackers who move over to the dark side because someone (or a bunch of someones) pissed them off. Or because they decide there's easier, faster money to be made.
On the other hand, I would never hire hackers making such a solicitation. While a big part of me would want to pay them for services my company obviously needed, paying them anything is somewhat like paying hostage takers. It would only encourage them to engage in future unethical behavior.
Instead, I would graciously thank them for their notification and let them know I'm already working on rectifying the found issues (hopefully, you're really doing this). Second, I would let them know that while I appreciated being notified about weaknesses, such unrequested probes are unethical, at the very least. I'd recommend the hackers read their certification bodies' (if they have certifications) ethical statements. Most likely they signed one of these when they obtained their skills and/or certification.
If the hacker responded in a hostile manner, I would kick it up a notch and report the violation to law enforcement authorities -- if only to start a legal paper trail. I would notify the hacker and the certification body (if applicable) about the ethical violations. I would then make darn sure I'm monitoring my network better and have fixed all the weaknesses the hacker found and the ones they may be likely to uncover in the future.
If it were me, I'd be gentle at first. After all, the intentions are not necessarily evil. Your reply should be the same: businesslike, but denying services or employment and pointing out the ethical problem.
Had I ventured into gray-hat areas, I would have been lucky if someone had firmly, but nicely, helped me get on the straight and narrow. Think of it as a rare opportunity to make the world a better place.

"Here Comes Harry" in June Issue of Film Fantasy MagazineOotP Film
The June 2007 issue of Film Fantasy Magazine contains a five page spread on upcoming Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film with interviews from the cast, a breakdown of the upcoming film as well as the Trio's thoughts on director David Yates and the tone of the new film. While some topics mentioned in the article have been published before, actors Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) do give some insight into the tone and plot of the new film. Quoteage:
While there will be plenty of fun and magic, Radcliffe warns, "It's very different from the fourth one, which was very spectacular. This one is much darker, more internal emotional journey."
Radcliffe prepared for Phoenix by meeting with a bereavement counselor so he could understand survivor's guilt, since his two main relationships in the film- with his godfather Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) and Cho- are grounded in a mutual need to bond with another person after a great, shared loss.
"Sirius is clinging on to James [Harry's father and Sirius' best friend] through me, and I'm trying to know my father through him," Radcliffe details. "The same thing happens with me and Cho. I was the last person there when her last boy friend was killed."
The article goes on to quote OotP director David Yates along with actors Imelda Staunton (Professor Umbridge) and Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), who says of his experience making the film: "I get to have a wand battle with Gary Oldman, possibly my favorite actor in the universe," Isaacs says. "We get to play around like two 10-year-olds." You can read the entirety of this article here in our image galleries.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be released in theaters July 11.

In the driest year in recorded state history, California is bracing for a devastating wildfire season - one that is starting about five months early, according to Blomberg News ("Early California Wildfires Jeopardize Homes and Vineyards"). In a press-release sent out in late January, the California, Department of Forestry and Fire advised homeowners prepare early, and create a "defensible space" around all structures. (For details on what makes a defensible space, see the Cal Fire press release here.)
Builders, roofers and deck contractors have a huge influence on reducing the risk of a building fire. According to the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) windborne embers present the greatest problem, particularly when they get sucked into roof vents, and caught in corners where dried leaves and other combustible debris collects. At it research center, IBHS conducted full-scale "ember testing" on home mock-ups. The testing is summarized in this youtube video that's well worth watching, and the results have helped IBHS refine its guidance on wildfire-resistant homes (see the page of Wildfire at disastersafety.org)
Beyond the obvious material choices for siding, roofs and decking, there are a number of other key details to consider:

ARCADIA, Calif., (Dec. 28, 2009) – Racing on turf and beyond a sprint distance for the first time, 5-2 second-choice Macias held off fast-closing 3-2 favorite Alfarabi to win Monday's fourth running of the $72,150 Eddie Logan Stakes for 2-year-olds while traversing the one-mile distance in 1:35.11 at Santa Anita.
With jockey Victor Espinoza gaining his third stakes victory on the Santa Anita meet's third day, Macias tracked longshot pace-setter Lucks Mine, took command in midstretch and had enough in reserve to turn back Alfarabi by three-quarters-of-a-length.
ARCADIA, Calif. (Dec. 28, 2009) – As he marks his 10th birthday on Friday, racehorse centenarian Shadow of Illinois will be seeking a distinctive place in Santa Anita history while in search of his fourth straight victory in Santa Anita's 13th running of the $100,000 Sensational Star Handicap for California-breds at 6 ½ furlongs over the track's downhill turf course.
ARCADIA, Calif. (Dec. 27, 2009) – Lava Man faded to last with blood spattered on both rear hooves after leading six rivals for nearly one mile of his comeback attempt before defending champion Proudinsky closed determinedly to win Sunday's Grade II, $150,000 San Gabriel Handicap at 1 1/8 miles on turf at Santa Anita.
The 63rd running of the San Gabriel marked the first start in 17 months for the 8-year-old gelding widely acclaimed as the greatest claim purchase in racing history.
The Woolf Award has been presented annually by Santa Anita since 1950 and is regarded as one of the most prestigious honors in all of racing. It honors and recognizes those riders whose careers and personal character earn esteem for the individual and the sport of Thoroughbred racing. The winner's trophy is a replica of the life-size statue of George Woolf, which adorns Santa Anita's Paddock Gardens area.
"Showvivor has been very popular with our fans and we feel that Winvivor could be a big hit as well," said Santa Anita Vice President of Marketing, Allen Gutterman. "By virtue of the fact that you'll have to pick a winner each day instead of a horse that finishes first, second or third, it's obviously going to be tougher for people to stay 'alive' with Winvivor, but we think it has the potential to create some added interest, which is always good."
Sculpted by Nina Kaiser, the statue stands at John Henry's height, 15.2 hands, and weighs roughly the same as "John" did, 1,000 lbs. Commissioned by Santa Anita and Oak Tree, Kaiser worked on the project for more than two years.
ARCADIA, Calif. (Nov. 13, 2009)—The popular Sunshine Millions, which was designed to match the best California-bred horses versus the best bred Thoroughbreds from Florida, will return to both Santa Anita and Gulfstream Park on Saturday, Jan. 30, with $1.8 million in purses at stake.
Inaugurated in 2003, the Sunshine Millions program has become a popular fixture on both the Southern California and Florida racing calendars, appealing to fans and horsemen alike.
Santa Anita will play host to three Sunshine Millions races this year—The Classic, for 4-year-olds and up at 1 1/8 miles, the Filly and Mare Turf, for older distaffers at 1 1/8 miles and the Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Sprint, for older fillies and mares at six furlongs on the main track.
Gulfstream Park, in Hallandale, Florida, will also present three races—the Filly and Mare Distaff at 1 1/8 miles on dirt, the Turf, for older horses at 1 1/8 miles, and the Sunshine Millions Sprint for older horses at six furlongs.
Due to a sluggish local and national economy, purses for the upcoming Millions program have been reduced. The Classic will offer a purse of $500,000, down from $1 million in 2009. The Filly and Mare Turf will have a purse of $300,000, down from $500,000, and the Filly and Mare Sprint will offer horsemen a purse of $200,000, down from $300,000.
At Gulfstream, the purses for the Filly and Mare Distaff and Sunshine Millions Turf have both been reduced from $500,000 to $300,000. The Sprint now offers a purse of $200,000, down from $300,000 last year.

Farm to Farm, Family to Family, pt. 2: the cycle of migration
Jun 05, 2007 — As Congress continues to craft ways to control immigration into the United States, the reality is that the allure of good paying jobs and a chance to improve one's conditions back home is hard to resist. In January, David Sommerstein traveled to Mexico with a group of New York dairy farmers. They went to a mountain town called Malacatepec, where names like Lowville, Carthage, and Utica are as familiar as they are here. Young men migrate South to North, leaving families behind, so they may one day come home to stay. In part two of a three-part series, David looks at their cycle of migration. One note: the dairy farmers in this series are identified by first name only to protect their farms and the Mexican immigrants who work there. Go to full article
Farm to Farm, Family to Family, part 1: North Country farmers go to Mexico
Jun 04, 2007 — In January, David Sommerstein traveled with a group of New York dairy farmers on a sort of reverse migration. They went to a tiny mountain town in Veracruz, Mexico, called Malacatepec. There, almost everyone has a family member who has worked or is working on a New York State dairy farm. The farmers wanted to better understand their new employees culture, economic situation, and what it all means for the immigration debate in this country. Here part one of a three part series. One note: the dairy farmers in this series are identified only by their first names to protect their farms and the Mexican immigrants who work there. Go to full article
New Yorkers' views on immigration
May 24, 2007 — The Pew Hispanic Center estimates between 550,000 and 650,000 illegal immigrants live in New York State. Most live in New York City and its suburbs. But a growing number work in agriculture or construction in Upstate New York, including on the North Country's dairy farms. Immigrants have become a part of daily life in largely white, rural communities. Max Pfeffer tracks what New Yorkers think about immigration, both legal and illegal. He's a professor of development sociology at Cornell University. For the last several years, Pfeffer's conducted polls asking whether there should be more or less immigration to the United States. He told David Sommerstein the results are much like the rest of the country: people are split. Go to full article
Dairy left out of immigration deal?
May 22, 2007 — As the fierce debate on a massive immigration bill continues in Washington, dairy farmers fear they may be left out. New York's dairy farms have become increasingly reliant on Mexican and Central American workers. Many, if not most, of them are in this country illegally. A temporary worker program, known as H2A, would allow immigrants to work on farms for two years at a time, for up to six years. But it still remains to be seen whether dairy farmers would be allowed to use the program. Julie Suarez directs public policy for the New York Farm Bureau. She told David Sommerstein dairy was included in one version, but left out of another. Go to full article
Report: immigrants moving to rural America
Dec 11, 2006 — The story of immigrants flooding America's cities is almost as old as the United States itself. But a new report shows a shifting trend. While cities remain the main destination, a growing number of immigrants are settling in small, rural communities. They're drawn to jobs in agriculture, meatpacking, and the tourism and resort industries. Leif Jensen wrote the report for the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire. He told David Sommerstein that immigrants to small towns tend to poorer and less well educated than those who settle in cities. They also tend to be Mexican, married, and employed. Go to full article
Mexican corridos: the people's autobiography in song
Oct 17, 2006 — A St. Lawrence University professor specializes in a genre of Mexican music that tells the stories of how migrant workers get to the United States. Martha Chew-Sanchez is the author of a book called Corridos in Migrant Memory. She's invited a Mexican band, Los Inalcanzables to perform "corridos" tonight at 7 at SLU's Student Center. "Corridos" are epic songs that were first sung when the Spanish arrived in the New World. They're like the collective autobiography of Mexico, telling stories about everything from farming and famous heroes to drug smuggling and crossing the border. New ones are always written to reflect contemporary lives. Chew-Sanchez told David Sommerstein she grew up in the border region of El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico, where "corridos" told the stories of the day... Go to full article
Farmers on the Wrong Side of the Law
May 17, 2006 — Over the last five years, the number of Mexican and Central Americans working on the North Country's dairy farms has risen dramatically. Industry leaders agree farms depend on reliable, plentiful Hispanic labor to survive. If national estimates are right, about three-quarters of these workers entered the United States illegally. Farmers are not required to prove their workers are legal. In fact, they can be sued for discrimination if they challenge them. Still, dairy farmers find themselves on the wrong side of immigration law as it now stands. David Sommerstein has part two of our series, Latinos on the Farm. Go to full article
Web Only: Farmworker Legal Services of NY

Latinos on the Farm, in the Shadows
May 16, 2006 — In the North Country, two groups are watching the immigration debate closely: dairy farmers and the Mexicans and Central Americans who work for them. There are no numbers on exactly how many Hispanics work on dairy farms in northern New York. One estimate says 300 work in Jefferson County alone. Based on national estimates, three-quarters of them entered the United States illegally. In the first of a two part series, David Sommerstein reports on the farmhands themselves. They live largely invisible lives, inextricably linked to the farmer who hired them. Go to full article
Dairy Farmers Seek Guest Workers Program
Apr 03, 2006 — Massive protests in California are providing a dramatic backdrop for the debate in Washington over America's immigration policy. The issue can seem distant in the North Country. But Jamaican apple pickers already use a legal guest worker program in the Champlain Valley. Illegal immigrants are becoming more common on area construction sites. And the number of Hispanic workers on dairy farms is growing fast. John Lincoln is president of the New York Farm Bureau. He employs two Guatemalan workers on his dairy farm near Canandaigua. David Sommerstein asked Lincoln what he sees in the immigration rallies in California. Go to full article

But there are still plenty of people who've never dined on conveyor belt sushi or summoned help with the touch of a button, so don't dismiss this Japanese chain as a has-been. The conveyor belt isn't the only thing that doesn't stay still there; the menu is updated regularly with special offers & new dishes such as soft-shell crab or beef & ginger katsu as well as extravagant specials like crab & mango inside-out rolls. The plates on the belt are colour-coded (from £1.70 up to £6), & cover essentials of edamame & miso plus all manner of funky tataki, hand rolls, nigiri & gunkan.

HISTORY Art Higbee and David Breashears once needed no introduction, but 1975 was awhile ago. Climbers took big risks then to leave no trace. True to the clean climbing code, Higbee and Breashears published little about this alpine route of impressive size. A hand-drawn topo was left in the Hut Book. The second ascent of this wall was done by A Parker and P Bradshaw, July 1977. They used a different corner system left of the Higbee-Breashears squeeze. ANECDOTAL ROUTE DESCRIPTION Bruce Lella and I made the second ascent of the original chimney in late August, 1979. It may be that we missed both the Bugaboo Corner/Buckingham finish and the original Sunshine Wall finish. We climbed the icy chimney, finding several pins at the icy crux. The route begins by crossing the moat and getting into a wide crack. About six pitches of climbing and traversing ledges, with a few ups and down to connect ledges, will get you to the infamous chimney. To retreat from here in a storm might be difficult. The unprotected chimney was the crux, 5.10r/x. A loose flake blocked the crux. Kicking it off while squeezing past looked like a direct hit for the belayer. So we took the time to get the belayer sheltered before pitching it in a more controlled fashion. The crux is exiting the squeeze into a slightly overhung lieback. Our bivouac was only a few mellow pitches higher on a perfect ledge. Next morning, in the hot early sun, we filled the haul bag with most of our warm clothes and tossed it to the glacier. Just before starting up, a rock face collapsed and avalanched into the lake north of Eastpost Spire. The next few pitches up were fun with a rope, rack, and the shirts on our backs. But that changed in the chimney. Somewhere along the way we missed traversing left to a better finish. The Buckingham and Bugaboo Corner routes are both supposed to do this. There may be another way to avoid the chimney by traversing right, gaining the crest, and then descending via Sunshine. But we went into the chimney and froze. We escaped the cold, icy, chimney using a thin crack on the south wall. This crack could be a quality 5.11- finger crack, if it is ever dry in the chimney. Unlikely. The thin crack we escaped up had a few old style pitons fixed but fits no route description. Guidebook authors admit to uncertainty on this part of the mountain. So do I. Finally, we did a difficult crossing over a sub-summit, some call the "Hook", and down to a notch on the south side. From the notch, we began rappelling west; down an overhanging chimney that seems to be between known routes but had anchors. DESCENT ROUTES We rappeled from the notch south of the "Hook". The first rap was long and overhung. The route seemed unused. It would be best to continue on to the North Summit via the Buckingham route. From the top, continue south to the notch between the north and south summits. Then rappel the giant corner of the Becky-Greenwood/Super Direct. Super Direct Topo: www.mountainproject.com/images/26/52/106842652_large_2c54ac.>>> PROTECTION We only had a #4 friend and passive Chouinard tube chocks. A rack with #5 and #6, C4, Camalots will help tremendously to make the infamous chimney fun. Using chicken-wing technique for pro should be enough to get to where a #5 and/or #6 can be placed, just before committing to the crux chimney exit. I'd bring a few small steel nuts, double set of cams up to #6, and lots of long slings.
This climb no longer exists. The flake at the start fell off years ago, there is a 5.12c direct start farther right.

— Hey guys, Valentines Day is right around the corner, so as a bonus I am including a simple dessert recipe and a gift idea that will blow the socks off your significant other. But first, let's keep our priorities straight and talk ribs.
In my opinion, ribs are some of the easiest foods to smoke and grill, yet most people don't attempt them. Let's change that trend starting now. There are two true choices in pork ribs. I will detail them below.
Baby back ribs: These ribs come from the loin of the pig. They tend to be a bit more tender than the spare ribs, and a bit smaller, so they cook quicker. It's kind of like the bone-in pork chop without the loin. They also don't need as much prep work as the spare ribs.
Both ribs have a membrane on the bone side. If you want to peel it off, start at one end, gripping the membrane with a piece of paper towel. If you don't want to mess with taking off the membrane, no worries. Some folks take it off, some don't. The theory is that the membrane blocks flavor (smoke and spices) from getting to the meat.

Sometimes something happens that is so unfair, and we feel we must speak up.
Sometimes some people profess to believe things that we know just can't be true, and we feel we must speak up. Sometimes something we read strikes us as downright stupidly absurd, and we feel we must speak up.
With no apologies and with full knowledge that this column may generate a few emails and/or phone calls in response, I believe there are times we must speak up.
It's time for Christians to stop fighting and bickering among themselves. We must recognize the absolute truth of James 3:9-10: "With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be." I agree. Our bickering and fighting should not be. It doesn't matter who's right or who's wrong. It doesn't matter who started the whole thing. It doesn't matter who defends whom or who is whose side. What matters is that we stop. Period. Stop fighting. Stop being disagreeable. It's time.
It's time for Christians to start loving others as God commanded. It's so easy to think of ourselves as loving people when we love those around us. It's easy to love those who also love us. But if we want to really be known as people who love, we need to recognize the absolute truth of Matthew 5:46-47: "If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?" Instead, as should love the way Jesus told us to in John 13:34: "As I have loved you, so you must love one another." We should stop saying we love others and start showing our love to others. It's time.
