Easton resident Michael Maloney thinks he can make a huge impact right away.
After moving to town a year ago, the Plainville native said he's "fired up" about getting involved in town government - and not just with any board or committee. The 31-year-old is vying for a spot on Easton's Board of Selectmen.
"I feel I have a quite a bit of experience and I have no hesitation about being straightforward and telling people 'Hey, I think I can make a difference right here,'" he said. "I think there are some mistakes being made and I think I can address them. I certainly don't think I can fix them overnight. If anyone said that I think they'd be outright lying. But, I think I have the background and experience and know-how to implement some of these tactics."
Maloney, a criminal defense lawyer, joins a four person list of candidates vying for two Selectmen seats up for grabs in the April 24 Town Election.
Compared to the other candidates he is a fresh-faced newcomer. Incumbent Colleen Corona is defending the seat she has held since 2003 while has spent the last year on the board and the year before that on the Finance Committee. Challenger Patrick Goodman, a current Finance Committee member, has spent time on numerous town boards while living in town for over 50 years.
If there is a challenge ahead of him, though, Maloney says he is not the type of person to back down.
He regularly participates in "Ironman" Triathlons and long distance competitions. Maloney was engaged to his wife, Johnna during an "ultra marathon" through the Sahara Desert.
"If it wasn't a challenge, it wouldn't be worth it," he said.
The Maloneys moved to Easton last year from Providence. Prior to that, Maloney lived in Manhattan running a small marketing company. He is a graduate of Providence College and New England School of Law.
He runs a small law practice in Bristol County and is an elected member of the Bristol County Bar Advocate program, appointed member of the Board of Directors for the Bristol County Bar Association, and an appointed council member by the Massachusetts Bar Association.
His experience in local courts initiated his interest in running, he said.
"I've only been in town for a year, but I've been working for the county for a few years. I'm a trial attorney by trade and I run into fire department and police department personnel eight days a week," he said. "They are totally under-staffed. That was actually what spawned my interest in trying to get involved and trying to help the community."
Maloney said he hopes to help restore emergency personnel, which have been hit hard during the recession. Last year, the town cut two firefighter and two police officer positions, along with a slew of other town positions. A preliminary budget for FY2013 released by David Colton last month is calling for the restoration of two firefighters and one police officer.
Maloney said much of his concern lies with the Beacon Shovel Shop project. The process, he said, is draining the town's resources.
He said deadlines should be put in place.
"Hard and fast timetables have to be put on that," he said. "We're certainly not going to sacrifice safety, but in this economy, allowing money to flow out of a town's limited budget and resources every month, I want it to be done as safely and efficiently as possible, but I also want a timetable as to when it will be completed without sacrificing any of the safety.
"Reading between the lines right now, it seems like it keeps getting pushed back. They don't really have their heels on the fire, so to speak, so it seems to be – there's no fire underneath them to make sure it moves along and gets done."
Maloney said he agrees with a decision made by Easton Selectmen to oppose the South Coast Rail, but work with the state in a mitigating process.
"I wouldn't use the term 'inevitable' at this point but I would certainly want to go in saying 'hypothetically if this comes to fruition, then add sound proofing, safety, the whole nine yards," he said.
He is concerned with the town's traffic flow, as well. Particularly, Maloney is concerned with the intersection of route 138 and Elm Street.
"I can certainly appreciate the down economy but it's one of those things when there's an accident, then it's not too expensive," he said. "Johnna and I plan on having a pretty good sized family. My sons and daughter will not be driving there when they're 18 years old. I think that's something that has to be addressed yesterday."
Maloney said he has spent time making door-to-door stops campaigning for his cause and handing out flyers.
"Johnna and I are looking forward to establishing long-term relationships with members of the community as we start our family," his flyers read.
'I'm pretty fired up," he said. "I've spoken to a number of individuals in the community. I grew up in Plainville - not that far away. I used to race Oliver Ames. I know the town. I know the area. I have a very large extended family. I'm not convinced that the issues are being addressed as financially responsible as they can be."
In the coming days, Easton Patch will feature each of the four selectmen candidates. Patch will also co-sponsor a debate on April 2 along with ECAT and the Easton Journal. If you have questions you would like to ask Mr. Maloney or any of the candidates, email email@example.com

WIWW – Happy Wednesday Everyone!
I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far.
The weather here in Newfoundland has been fantastic, hardly feels like fall. It was really warm when my husband was taking these pictures of me, I was sweating! I am tired of summer clothes and long to wear my fall outfits, dark colors, warm sweaters, long boots and scarfs. I find myself spending a lot of time on Pinterest lately looking at Fall style. I wish I could walk into my closet and magically all of the outfits would be there!
And YES I have a hair cut! I love my new bangs. I've had bangs before so I knew what I was getting into. For me it's the perfect hairstyle for fall and winter. And I like it straight too. It`s amazing how a little change can make a big impact on how you look and feel!
We had a lot of fun taking these pics. My husband used to take fashion pics of me all the time, it was a hobby of ours. I'll have to share some of them with you soon.

Shirt: H&M
Jeans: Aeropostal

Out from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Tuesday is a new nutrition guide. We have gone from the Food pyramid to food triangles, but the basic shape is the same. The FDA hopes that it can clarify nutrition advice along with address the world wide problem of obesity.
Part of the effort to clarify directions is a turn to using different and, hopefully, clearer terms to explain what to eat. There will no longer be 'servings' but cups and ounces. We are urged to eat 2 cups of fruit a day and 2 ½ cups of vegetables. We should include 3 ounces of whole grain and 3 cups of fat free or low fat milk.
There are 23 recommendations for everyone and 18 suggestions for special populations such as older persons and children. They are suggesting that we get 30 minutes or more of exercise every day and emphasizing that on one side of the pyramid.
The FDA is putting a number of tools on the Internet. You can personalize the new guidelines sand create your own pyramid or triangle. You can get to this website at USDA.gov and then click on MyPyramid. There are also resources for teachers.
You can establish a plan for yourself. The USDA is emphasizing that you can improve your nutrition by making small changes. The entire 2005 Dietary Guidelines are available on line.

Detectives call for Hove bike-rage witnesses
3:30pm Tuesday 9th November 2010 in News By Rebecca Evans
Detectives are hoping a "remorseful" cyclist who witnessed a road-rage attack that left a man in a coma will come forward.
The 52-year-old suffered serious head injuries during an argument with three cyclists in Portland Road, Hove, on Sunday.
One of the trio punched the victim once in the head, which has left him fighting for his life in hospital.
Yesterday, officers were trawling through CCTV images taken from shops near the scene.
They appear to show one of the three male cyclists staying to help after the other two had fled.
Detective Sergeant Julian Deans, from Brighton and Hove CID, appealed for him to come forward.
He said: "One of the cyclists stays to help the victim. It looks like he is feeling remorse about what happened. He then leaves the scene.
"We would urge him to come forward."
Witnesses are asked to call 0845 6070999 quoting Operation Globe.

LOOK, this isn't about who should have done whatever. This is about Tony, the victim being put into a COMA by a cowardly thug, and trying to find that person ASAP... No-one deserves to by put into a coma because of a simple mistake. They guy who hit Tony was NOT even the person who got struck by the car door! Understand???!!! Just read a bit of background will you.

Well done, Savi, who witnessed this terrible event, for helping to keep comments on the right track.
A simple fact: a terrific local fellow - character, if you will -, the greengrocer Tony Magdi, whose shop is at the corner of Portland Road and Westbourne Gardens, is now at the Princess Royal caught between death and life, or living death.
He has never meant harm to anybody, he is one of those people with whom many speak each day and somehow feel better even on their glummest day. He has himself been through tough times, and emerged smiling. I just so hope that he does so now, but it's a tough call.
The fools might make their stupid comments but the mood round here is one of grief eased by the hope, please, that Tony pulls through.
He had just collected a visitor from the airport, brought him to Hove, and that visitor went upstairs, only to look from the window and see Tony fall victim to that attack.
Whoever committed that assault would surely find it easier, tough as it might seem, to go to the police all the sooner.
That is what Tony would respect.

I had heard that a cyclist had been knocked off his bike by an opening car door - as a cyclist that is one of my main worries about cycling along next to parked cars - a friend was nearly knocked off his bike in a similar incident and I was just behind - I can understand cyclists getting extremely annoyed and being very angry about something like this happening although beating someone up is probably a slight over-reaction, although it could have been the schock which brought about such an extreme reaction. Drivers just need to be very aware when opening car doors of cyclists approaching - the cyclist can not take avoiding action - if they swerve away there is a good chance of them being hit by a car approaching from behind.

If you'll recall, a while back we talked about how Adrian Peterson started a bit of a kerfluffle on the Twitter when he mentioned that he was thinking about changing his uniform number from the 28 that we've all grown to know and love.
Well, apparently that change isn't going to happen. . .but not because Peterson wasn't seriously considering it.
But because it would have cost him too much.
See, if a player switches jersey numbers, they have to pay Reebok a refund for all of the jerseys that have their current number on it. It's similar to what happened with Chad Ochocinco when he changed his name from Chad Johnson back in 2008. Though he had legally changed his name to Chad Ochocinco, he played his games during the 2008 season with "C. Johnson" on his jersey to avoid having to shell out the money to Reebok.
It appears that someone told our favorite running back that it would cost him $1 million to switch numbers. I guess that was enough to make him decide that 28 isn't such a bad number after all.

We will replace the content & images etc. We have all resources we need. We are working on a RUSH job and we need to complete it before this Friday. We ensure that we won't be using your content / images on live site so you should not worry about copyright etc.
Thanks for your help.
Hello. Thank you for using Pacifico theme and for your kind words
Actually this theme has no demo content. It's assumed you'll add images by yourself after reading our "How to". Mostly this theme contained from fullscreen slides, there's no need in demo content for it – we don't provide images with our themes. As for widgets, shortcodes and other options – you'll set up them in minutes.
There's a detailed documentation in the theme archive. You can easily elaborate your site after studying it. It's the index.html file in the \DOCS\ folder.
Open it with your browser.
Unfortunately we can't provide you xml file. Sorry.
Hi, I just downloaded the Pacifico theme. In order to activate it, i read in the instructions that I have to upload the theme to the right directory with ftp. But, I already have a website (also in WP) and that is te one to be repcaced with the pacifico theme.
My Question: how can I activate and develop my new site with Pacifico theme offline or online, separate from my current site, and replace my curren site when my new, Pacifico based, site is ready?
Hi. Thanks for purchasing Pacifico.
Theme installation shouldn't affect your web site, until you activate it. You can upload theme files in your current wp-content/themes. Just follow required steps and then start to customize your web site with Pacifico. We kindly advice do not elaborate your site offline, it's better to activate it on a live site. All the data is in your database and wp-content/uploads, so any actions with the theme shouldn't anyhow affect your information.
For further assistance, please, submit a personal support ticket here, as providing help via comments is beyond our support policy.
great theme. thank you!!!! only confuses what happens when loading preloading all images. I think it would be true to preload the first 3-4 and while they are shown to load all the rest. this can be done?
and another noted that if is a random selection of start and end of the case that they are the same and then there is no movement.
thank you
Hi. Thanks for choosing Pacifico.
Unfortunately it's impossible to skip preloading of all the images before showing the slide. This is the way our slider works. Try to reduce images quantity.
I'm sorry, but I haven't understood your second question. Can you, please, submit a
personal support ticket and provide there screenshots or video about your issue?
Thank you.
it is very sad ((( I'm disappointed. make slideshow full screen with poor quality images – stupid. and when a lot of pictures with good quality it is too long preloading process (( for example http://egorilin.ru/
Well, you have too much images in one slider, obviously it's not convenient even for the visitor. We kindly advice you to divide the portfolio into categories and use few sliders.
By the way, your site looks great.
is a big problem to do preload all images during the first showing of them?
It's impossible.
HI! I have quick question. your theme is great. by the way, let me hot to install facebook social comment plug-in instead of wordpress comment system.
is it possible?
Hi. Thanks for being interested in Pacifico theme.
Hypothetically it's possible, but we haven't made any tests and can neither confirm nor deny, that our theme would work properly with this plugin.
As it might been known, we don't guarantee compatibility with any additional plugin and don't provide assistance in regard with plugins compatibility or help to set them up. One can download them at own risk.
How can I get the sliderimages not to stretch, but keep aspect ratio when I change the dimensions of my browser window?
We use Canvas Tag, which links the edges of images to browser when you move its edge.
But this distortion goes away after page reloading (click F5). So if someone enters the site with modified browser window, he will get just ordinary appearance with no distortion.

For the Carolina Panthers, Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have felt like a chore. After three exhilarating games -- two against contenders and the last an unexpected nail-biter -- and with the NFC south-leading New Orleans Saints on the horizon, you couldn't fault the team for not being motivated for a home game against a 3-8 team.
This was the perfect trap for a young team like the Panthers. The Bucs' record may have been unimposing coming into Sunday, but Tampa Bay has been playing like one of the better teams in the league since Carolina beat them in October. It's hard to get hyped for them, but beating Greg Schiano's team was going to require a good performance.
Offensively, the Panthers were in for a challenge. Carolina was without tight end Ben Hartsock and guard Chris Scott for a third consecutive game. Going up against a stout Tampa run defense undermanned was going to be a tall order. But the Panthers offense could not be one-dimensional considering the amount of talent the Bucs have in their secondary.
On the first drive of the game, the concerns were not alleviated. Tampa's defensive game plan was clear: Stop the run and don't let Cam Newton get out of the pocket. The Bucs were going to load the box in obvious rushing downs and send a containing blitz when Newton had to drop back and pass.
The Bucs had tweaked their game plan from the first meeting between these teams. After playing zone for the majority of third downs (which Newton picked apart all night), Tampa Bay played man coverage behind a blitz on the game's first third down. Carolina offensive coordinator Mike Shula obviously expected some type of zone defense and called for a flood concept to the right. Newton quickly diagnosed the man coverage and made the right throw, but Bucs corner Leonard Johnson made a great play to deflect the pass and forced a three-and-out.
The Panthers defense was without its best pass rusher, Charles Johnson, for a second straight week, and would have to find a way to get pressure on Mike Glennon, who had been killing teams with down-field throws over the last month or so. Over that same time, Tampa had been enjoying success in the running game with running back Bobby Rainey, which opened up those deep throws. Carolina's game plan to make up for Johnson's absence, which head coach Ron Rivera divulged after the game, was to disguise coverages in order to slow down Glennon's thought process and give Carolina's pass rushers a little more time to get home.
Glennon, like most NFL quarterbacks, can pick apart a defense if he has a clean pocket. According to Pro Football Focus, the rookie sports a 110.4 quarterback rating on drop backs with no pressure; that number drops to 59.4 on pressured throws. Pressuring Glennon would be key.
On the Bucs first drive, Carolina's secondary did a good job of disguising its intentions and the front seven did a good job of bottling up Rainey for short gains. But a couple of mental mistakes allowed Tampa to drive down the field.
The following play does a good job of illustrating the defensive game plan and the little mistakes that allowed Tampa Bay to get into field goal range. Tampa faced a second-and-9 from their own 33 and came out in 12 personnel (1 RB, 2 TEs, 2 WRs). The Panthers countered with their base 4-3. Safety Mike Mitchell crept down into the box, and cornerback Captain Munnerlyn backed off his man, giving a Cover 3 look before the snap.
At the snap, the Panthers dropped into a Cover 2 look, as Munnerlyn went deep and Mitchell went out to cover the flat.
Mitchell hesitated for a second after the snap, which allowed Tampa receiver Tiquan Underwood to outflank him and get open for a 16-yard gain.
The next play, Panthers defensive tackle Colin Cole was bullied off his spot by Bucs center Jeremy Zuttah to open up a hole for Rainey to pick up 11 yards. Then a play action fake fooled the Panthers linebackers, who vacated the middle and allowed Underwood to get open for 23 yards.
After the mistakes, Carolina's defense tightened up and the Bucs settled for a field goal and a 3-0 lead early in the first quarter.
The Panthers next drive got off to nice start when Greg Olsen got free underneath for 13 yards, but a negative run on the ensuing first down put the Panthers into a throwing situation. Once again, the Bucs sent a blitz and played man coverage – and once again, Cam Newton should off why he's such a dangerous player.
It's hard to assert blame here without knowing the defensive call, but either Gerald McCoy went too wide on his pass rush or Adrian Clayborn ignored his gap responsibility and went too far inside. Either way, the seas parted for Newton and he took care of the rest.
Give credit to Steve Smith for blocking downfield to allow Newton to pick up an extra chunk of yardage. A few plays later, Smith made another contribution that won't show up in the box score. The Panthers face a second-and-11 from the Tampa 16. They come out in 12 personnel and run a Dagger concept, which consists of a clear out route and deep dig over the middle. Tampa counters with a Cover 2.
In the October contest between these teams, Smith burned the Bucs on this concept for a key third down conversion. This probably wasn't lost on Tampa bay's coaching staff and they probably prepared their defense to guard against it.
Bucs safety Dashon Goldston is looking for Smith on the dig, which allows Brandon LaFell to get open behind him for the game's first touchdown.
After a Tampa three-and-out, Carolina's offense went back to work but quickly found themselves facing third-and-ten from their own 28 yard-line. Newton makes the right read but his footwork is off. And his throw sails high. LaFell probably should have caught it, but the high throw slips through his hands and Keith Tandy picks it off, giving the Bucs great field position.
Tampa Bay tried to get its running game going, but the Panthers defensive line overpowered the Bucs offensive line and Rainey could find no room to run. After a holding penalty on wide receiver Vincent Jackson, the Bucs had to settle for a long field goal to make the score 7-6 late in the first quarter.
The Panthers were also finding it difficult to get any yardage on the ground against Tampa's eight-man fronts. McCoy was a force inside against the run, requiring a double team at all times, and the Bucs linebackers and defensive backs were flying to the football.
Last week in Miami, the Panthers defense was victimized by deep throws to Mike Wallace. In Vincent Jackson, Tampa Bay has a comparable threat, and they looked to take advantage of him against a much-maligned secondary.
The Bus are expecting a Cover 2 call from the Panthers and send three deep, but Carolina is in Quarters coverage. As Glennon drops back, safety Quintin Mikell (who made a similar mistake on Wallace's touchdown last week) has his eyes in the backfield and the hesitation let's Jackson get behind him, leaving Drayton Florence one-on-one with one of NFL's biggest deep threats. Jackson hauls it in for 60 yards and puts the Bucs in range to take the lead.
A couple plays later, though, pressure from Dwan Edwards and Thomas Davis forced Glennon out of the pocket. As he went to unload the ball, it slipped out of his hand and Edwards recovered the fumble and maintained the Panthers slim lead.
Newton started to get in a rhythm as Shula sped things up with the no huddle on the ensuing possession, but Jonathan Stewart continued to struggle. As things get condensed near the end zone, the Panthers need some semblance of a running game in order to finish off drives. The only success the Panthers had running was with Tolbert in the backfield.
So far this season, the Panthers have used Tolbert as a blocker in passing situations because he is the team's best back in pass protection. When he's in the backfield alone, teams can usually disregard the run and focus on defending the pass. Unlike Stewart, Tolbert had the pleasure of facing weak defensive boxes and two high safeties, and the big man took advantage throughout the game.
After a couple of Stewart runs were stuffed by Tampa, Carolina had to settle for a field goal and a 10-6 lead.
Two minutes later, the Panthers got another opportunity to add to their lead after a Greg Hardy sack forced a Bucs three-and-out.
The Panthers took over at midfield facing a defense that had been swarming to the ball all afternoon. So Shula looked to take advantage of Tampa's aggressiveness with some misdirection plays – first a play action fake and tunnel screen to Ginn that went for 11 yards; then a fake roll-out pass and screen to Greg Olsen that picked up 30 yards and put the Panthers at the Tampa Bay 8 yard-line.
Three short runs later, Riverboat Ron gambled again on a fourth-and-goal from a yard out. It paid off, as Newton dove over the Bucs line for a touchdown that gave Carolina a 17-6 lead going into the half.
After the half time break, Tampa Bay got to midfield after a couple of nice runs by Rainey. But on the next play, Star Lotulelei bulldozed his way over right tackle Demar Dotson and pressured Glennon into an ill-advised deep throw that was picked off by Mitchell.
The Panthers took over on their own 22 yard-line looking to put the game out of reach. Newton hit Tolbert on a check down for 12 yards before Olsen got open underneath against man coverage and picked up 36 yards to put Carolina on the Tampa Bay 36 yard-line.
In the Panthers last two games, they have gone to the same route concept in a similar field position: LaFell runs a fly route from the slot and Ginn runs a hook route on the outside. Against the Patriots, it resulted in the game-winning score; against the Dolphins, it picked a nice gain on the Panthers game-winning drive.
On Sunday, the Panthers looked to take advantage of any scouting the Bucs may have done on this design. Instead of running the hook, Ginn ran a hook and go.
Ginn's 36-yard touchdown had put the game away at 24-6 early in the third quarter. After playing three straight games that came down to the final drive, the Panthers could rest easy and cruise to a win. The Carolina defense continued to shut down the run and harass Glennon – 55 percent of Glennon's drop backs were pressured, the highest percentage across the league in Week 13. When Glennon did get his passes off, the Panthers pounced, as the defense missed only one tackle throughout the game, according to Pro Football Focus.
Carolina had avoided the dreaded trap game. They had won 27-6 and moved to 9-3 to set up a battle for first place against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday night.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Countless models have had their careers promoted in the pages of Condé Nast magazines. Far fewer can claim to have been discovered by the company's founder and namesake himself. But the day in 1927 that Mr. Nast pulled the 20-year-old Lee Miller from the path of an oncoming car, her career took off. The blond, blue-eyed Valkyrie from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., was photographed for Vogue by Edward Steichen, who in turn wrote her a letter of introduction to Man Ray, with whom she would study and have a tempestuous affair. The artist wasn't her only famous lover; Charlie Chaplin, too, is rumored to be on the list. While Miller was in Paris, Jean Cocteau cast her as an armless statue in his movie Le Sang d'un Poète, Pablo Picasso painted her several times (she, in turn, took several photographs of him), and a glass manufacturer cast a champagne goblet from her breast.
Her allure was captured in the words of the photojournalist John Phillips, who called her "an American free spirit wrapped in the body of a Greek goddess." And in fact, she was a woman of as much substance as style. In London at the outbreak of World War II, she ignored evacuation orders to photograph the times for Vogue. As a correspondent for the U.S. Army, she shot the siege of Saint-Malo and the liberations of Buchenwald, Dachau, and Paris. After the war, she gradually abandoned her camera for a rural life in East Sussex, England, as the wife of artist and biographer Sir Roland Penrose. But her exploits live on in Carolyn Burke's new biography, Lee Miller: A Life (Knopf, $35).

Well it's good to know the news but it would be better if it included the location of the Checkpoint. Might be a secret.
on Dec 26, 2012 at 9:48 pm
I'll lay good money it won't be near any place where the rich folks party and get drunk.
on Dec 27, 2012 at 12:15 pm
What is the point of a DUI checkpoint if you announce it ahead of time?
on Dec 27, 2012 at 1:32 pm
@kathy - the purpose of a DUI checkpoint is not to make DUI arrests, but to reduce drunk driving. And announcing a check-point is part of making that effective.
on Dec 27, 2012 at 2:28 pm
Not that I'd be welcome anyway... but where exactly DO the rich folks party and get drunk?
on Dec 27, 2012 at 3:53 pm
DUI checkpoints don't reduce drunk driving anymore than huge boulders in a river reduce its flow. It may alter the route, but I doubt it reduces the overall number of drunks on the road. All you need to do, though, is convince that one person who otherwise would become a wrong way driver on 280 to not drink/drive, and its worth it.
on Dec 27, 2012 at 5:04 pm
The purpose of a DUI checkpoint is to create overtime opportunities under the guise of 'doing' something about drunk driving. Checkpoints shut down at 2AM, same time as the bars close.
That OT helps boost retirement pay.
Check the next televised checkpoint with way too many cops standing around.
on Dec 28, 2012 at 4:37 pm
Saw it just last night member. a dozen or so cops standing and chatting while waving cars through or handing out a flyer.
I most certainly hope the check point in MV will be open longer than the bars!!! Jeez!
on Dec 29, 2012 at 9:56 pm
@Steve: The purpose of announcing DUI checkpoints has nothing to do with effectiveness. The United States Supreme Court ruled prior notice to the public is required.
This is to give the public, people like you and me, the chance to avoid being stopped at a checkpoint without reasonable suspicion. It's the court's way of making the suspension of the 4th Amendment at these checkpoints OK in the name of public safety. In theory we have the ability to not go through the checkpoints.
The exact location used to be required in the announcements but that has been watered down to the just the city or county the checkpoint will be taking place in along with the date and time.
And don't believe the hype. The checkpoints are ineffective.

Dave Cameron on Ollie "Overrated" Perez
"Over the last four years, Oliver Perez has been worth a total of 2.5 wins in nearly 600 innings. And he wants $12 million a year for 5 years. Maybe he's the left-handed Gil Meche, and he's going to turn the corner immediately after signing a big contract, but there's about a 5% chance of that being true and about a 95% chance that he's the most overrated pitcher in baseball."

A murder suspect accused of stabbing a Dalton convenience store clerk will not make her bond hearing court appearance Friday morning. Skyy Mims faced a Whitfield County judge Wednesday in her first court, video-conference appearance hearing. It lasted less than two minutes.
Since magistrate courts do not consider bond for murder defendants, Mims would have gone before a superior court judge Friday. But she has withdrawn her request for bond. Security cameras captured footage of Mims at the Kanku's on Airport Road, where authorities say she killed the clerk, 37-year old Dahyabhai Chaudmari, and fled with lottery tickets and money from the cash register.
Mims will continue to be held in Whitfield County with out bond.

Coming on the heels of those SPOILERIFIC pics from this weekend (see them here if you haven't already), here are more pics from the set of Heroes Season 3. I really don't know who is over there shooting these stuff, but keep them coming, boys! These new batch features more SPOILERS from the show's upcoming season, and features a very unlikely meeting between Future Peter and someone we know very well. Then again, since this is Heroes, words like "unlikely" gets used a lot, doesn't it? We should probably stop using it… In any case, SPOILERS after the jump, so watch out.

text: The way the team is made now I believe the Niners have a great chance to take the NFC west. With the draft coming up the team can go into many directions because even though the team is solid its still a lot of holes that needs to be filled...My opinion is there glaring needs are Offensive Tackle and punt and kick returner. C.J. Spiller is the most dynamic back in the 2010 draft and i believe he is going to be available for my Niners. He brings a change of pace back from Gore and Coffee and can even be split out. He also will fill the holes of both the KR/PR. Now if u look at the division as a whole there is a lack of a dynamic players that if u put them in space they can take it to the house. I believe if we draft Spiller we would absolutely terrorize the defenses in the divison in the way that the Saints use Reggie Bush...u even see the Titans split out Chris Johnson from time to time...can u imagine Spiller's type of elusiveness and speed out there with Gore, Crabtree, Morgan and Davis, and it will be yet another target for Alex Smith and his development. His impact on Special teams will be very very big and shorten the field for the offense. Currently there is no team in the division that would be able to match up with us.....atleast not for 60 mins.....wanna see wat my fellow Niners fans think about this.

Rain this morning: I'd just awakened when the rain began, so pleasant to hear this, a cool whispering wash on the earth. (But it's been raining on and off for weeks so this isn't fresh and needed rain: everything's already soaked, and everything gets tedious after a while for people, with memory and desire). Rain clouds moving quickly across the hills. Whole sky gray.

Talk at Village Zendo, NYC
Jan 11, 2005
I gave a talk at the Village Zendo. Very odd to go to a Zen place via elevator, coming in off noisy, busy, hip-hoppy, super chic street, music blaring. Sixty or seventy people were there and the local sangha was surprised at the numbers and hard pressed to find room for everyone. There were eight or ten different Zen groups represented, and many friends and students from everywhere, who are now in or near New York. The small band of New York Everyday Zen regulars were also there (they had organized the talk). It was so nice to see all the familiar faces, dear people I hadn't seen in a long time, I wanted to say hello and give everyone a kiss but such a thing is not possible in the forbidding silent Zen atmosphere. I had come in the middle of kinhin, everyone walking with great solemn dignity in tight lines all around the room. I had to join in without cracking a smile or acknowledging anyone I knew. Inside though I felt quite loose and informal. Amused. It seemed actually rather silly, all this Zen business, and I said this as soon as the sitting periods were over and my talk began. "How silly our practice is- and how marvelous." My talk was about compassion. Several people wanted to know how it was possible to sustain real feeling for the suffering of others in the middle of a world so full of suffering. Practice makes life harder: you feel more suffering more deeply

t is raining again. Has been for a few days, after a week of bright weather. The hills are covered in mist, water falls continually from the sky. How can it rain so much? Doesn't it get tired of it? Too bad, my brother and his family are here and it means we spend a lot of time sitting around eating and talking which is not so bad after all. A fire in the woodstove. Up above the house, on the hill, looking down into the water below, dolphins swimming. They do not care whether it rains or not. Many small birds are walking around in the rain because I suppose it is more difficult for them to fly.

These have been very bright days and Kathie, Aron, Noah (our sons) and I have been hiking. Noah is an artist so on the trail we often speak about art and life. It's not easy to be devoted to something like art (and practice is the same way) that doesn't necessarily provide an easy career path, and whose economic value to society is dicey at best. Still, if you have faith, and keep on with what you know is the right thing to do, things work out. You also have to be practical, kind, ethical, and willing to sacrifice. Noah thinks about having a family, and how much harder it would be to survive as an artist with family responsibilities. But even if you do have a family, there is always a way. Not an easy way possibly, but a way. As with practice, determination, energy and diligence are important.

The Vissudhimagga (The Path of Purification), a fifth century Buddhist classic, says that the development of loving kindness for others requires first the development of lovingkindness toward one's self. It quotes a verse by the Buddha that goes: I visited all quarters with my mind Nor found I any dearer than myself Self is likewise to every other dear Who loves himself will never harm another This from the sage who taught "no self" and the "empty nature of all phenomena!"

Rohatsu at Mar de Jade
Dec 10, 2004
I am just back from Rohatsu at Mar de Jade. A refreshing sesshin. The mix of Mexican and American students makes it special, brings out a flavor of the Dharma that doesn't come up in the same way north of the border - possibly also the Dharma comes out differently because I am being translated, sentence by sentence, by Laura del Valle and so to save her stress I speak very simply and in short sentences. So the talks (of which there are twice as many as at home- we began in Mexico with Dharma talks at night as well as in the morning, because the Mexican students were inexperienced, and needed more instruction- but we have keep on with this tradition) seem very different. And too, the concerns the Mexican students bring are different, and are experienced differently: with more passion.

Founder's Letter 2004
Nov 01, 2004
Some ruminations today on the Presidential election: A sad result, for me, as for so many others. As I looked at my feelings immediately after the result was clear, I became suspicious. I felt defeated? As if I myself had lost the election. Was I really that sure that things would change dramatically for the better under Kerry; no, I knew that wasn't really going to be the case anyway. Was I so compassionate that I felt this badly on behalf of the poor world? Maybe it was partly that- but only partly. Maybe also I had over identified with this election, making it, just as the other side had made it, a referendum on the Sixties, a replay of the old feud between the Silent Majority and the alternative culture. Maybe I, along with many others of my generation, had been secretly hoping that this election would vindicate our point of view, showing the world that we had been right all along, and that the majority agreed with us! That the Clinton years were real- not just a boomer interlude between conservative regimes.

Lately I have been concerned with emotion: precisely what it is and how can we work with it in our practice? Emotion is often viewed as something "soft." Mere feelings need not necessarily be taken into account, or, if they are taken into account, not so importantly. Intellect, analysis, action, and insight are far more important. This, at least, is the usual view.

On Capital Punishment: (At midnight of February 9, 2004, Kevin Cooper was to be executed executed at San Quentin Prison. A few hours before the execution the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay of execution). Dharma is always uplifting. Even when we are contemplating difficult suffering, when we remember the Dharma it brings some relief, some happiness. So we don't need to avoid suffering. As practitioners we are committed to looking suffering in the face - not only our own suffering, but the suffering of the world, which is after all also ours.

Hard to win when you're playing 5 on 7.
Montreal Leads the Series 3-0
Anders Lindback allowed 3 goals on 31 shots for the loss. He allowed the opening goal of the game to go through him, but was outstanding after that, especially in the First Period when he pretty well stood on his head to keep the Lightning in the game.
First Period
0:11 MTL Bourque (3), (Subban)
Second Period
8:39 TB Palat (1), (Stamkos, Hedman)(PP)
18:10 MTL Gallagher (2), (Subban, Eller)
Third Period
5:43 MTL Plekanec (2), (Prust, Gallagher)
11:36 TB Carle (1), (Stamkos, Gudas)
Wow. I think the officials and the league have a lot to answer for after that travesty, and I'm not just talking about the no-goal call in the Second Period that turned the game's momentum completely over. That, in of itself, was a miscarriage of justice as Alex Killorn made a strong hockey play going to the net, spilled into the cage, and as he was exiting the cage Price deliberately contacted him, play acted a little, and then allowed a goal several moments later which was waved off. That, in of itself, was outrageous, and begs the question I've asked several times on plays like that this season. If you're Jon Cooper, what do you instruct your young player to do differently on that play? Nothing. He did exactly what he's supposed to do and made a strong hockey play and got punished by the official for doing so (and we'll get to that official later).
But, then I look at several missed calls including a blatant hold of Callahan by Emelin in the Third Period and a missed high stick that Tyler Johnson took in the mush in the First Period. I mean, OBVIOUS calls that were on-the-puck infractions in plain view. You juxtapose that against the ticky tack holding calls that went against Gudas and Sustr that helped give the Canadiens a 2:1 advantage in power plays in a game where the shots on goal were nearly dead even. And, then, you throw in a blown offsides call that denied Steven Stamkos a breakaway, to boot? I'm not even going to mention the 4-minute minor Barberio took because, golly, you're not allowed to clean someone out in front of your net anymore.
Basically, the officials just handed the Montreal Canadiens the series on a silver platter tonight. It's bad enough that all you have to do is blow on a Habs player to get a call versus Lightning players getting full on tackled without an arm going up, but they went straight past that to taking goals off the board and directly influencing the outcome of a game tonight. It was to the extent that even CBC, TSN, and any other fair-minded hockey fan in the world was admitting that the Lightning got the shaft.
One other thing: evidently the goal was waved off by referee Francis Charron. Referee Francis Charron who was born in Gatineau, Quebec. Referee Francis Charron who, I'm willing to bet, has a dusty old photo album sitting somewhere in his mama's attic with him as a little boy wearing a Habs jersey. Betcha. Dollars to donuts. When you look at everything that happened in this game, and then you factor that into the equation as well, I'm sorry. The whole thing stinks to the high heavens, and if the league didn't want the appearance of impropriety they should not have assigned Charron to officiate this game. Period, point blank. Take an Ethics 101 class if you don't understand why.
So I could sit here and break down this game further and tell you how the Lightning, from the Second Period on in this game, started to play their best hockey in the series and looked like they were about to turn the corner. We could talk about how the Lightning started to assert themselves more physically and how, tactically, they looked better moving the puck through the neutral zone with some more speed. But, honestly, what does it matter? I don't care if you've got a top line of Lemieux, Gretzky, and Howe in their primes with Orr and Ray Bourque on the blueline, no amount of athleticism and skill is going to win games where you're playing 5 on 7, and no tactic is going to give you an edge when you're playing 5 on 7.
I'm so sick of this league. You know, you KNOW going into games against certain teams (Montreal, Toronto, and Pittsburgh, foremost) that you're going to face biased officiating. You KNOW it. And then you look at your greedy Commissioner whose presided over a lost season and two other lockouts (or was it three?) in the time since he's taken over. Good to know none of the money the league extorted from the players went toward acquiring any integrity. Yes, integrity, and the worst part of all is seeing everyone, EVERYONE, who isn't a Habs homer admitting that the Lightning took the shaft... except Kerry Fraser who promptly hopped on the Twitter to circle the wagons around his "fraternity" boy Charron. In the NFL, they admit after the game when they blow the call. In the NHL, they never admit fault, even though it's so obvious that even Ray Charles (blind AND dead) could see it. Nope. Let's circle the wagons around our boys. Joke. Joke league. I love the Lightning and I'm proud they kept fighting once they got down 3-1 in the face of the injustice going on all around them, but this league should be ashamed of itself, and I hope Jon Cooper, Steve Yzerman, and anyone else on the Lightning who gets a voice recorder shoved in front of them tonight makes an eloquently worded, massive donation to charity to that effect after what just happened. Clown league. The NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs is the purest, best form of competition in all of sport and these clowns have found a way to even tarnish that. Shame.
"Go Refs Go!"
Cedric Paquette had 2 hits and was 67% on draws in 9:39. Made a really strong backcheck to nullify a 2-on-1 at a key juncture in the game. Surprised they didn't call him for being within a foot of the Habs player's "personal space".

Like the Lightning with Montreal, Halifax finds themselves in a 2-0 hole after losing their first two games of the series at home. On Saturday night, Val-d'Or skated out to a 3-0 lead before the midway point of the first period, and held on for a 4-2 win. Drouin scored on the power play for Halifax to extend his point streak to 24 games. Anthony Mantha had an assist for the Foreurs. He has 1+2 in the series to Drouin's 1+1. Neither QMJHL superstar has been an overwhelming factor thus far in the series. Game 3 is Tuesday in Val-d'Or.
Young Bolts defeat Baby Habs. It's an omen!
Cedrick Desjardins allowed 1 goal on 23 shots for the win in possibly his last game in the Lightning organization.

Jonathan Marchessault and Desjardins were the game's first and third stars.
Syracuse finished the season 1 game under .500, but it's important to note the team did earn points in 10 of its last 13 games. Those expecting an instant reload after seeing 9 prospects under 24 move up to Tampa Bay this season are probably overly optimistic, but the performance of players like Marchessault down the stretch do give hope that Syracuse can get into the postseason again next year.
In the meantime, several Crunch players should join the Lightning and if the team can extend their series against the Habs, could possibly provide some depth options for Jon Cooper.

North Bay Battalion 1 @ Oshawa Generals 0
Battalion lead best-of-7 Eastern Conference Finals, 1-0
D Dylan Blujus, NB: 0-0-0, E, 2 PIM

North Bay stole home ice advantage away from the top-seeded Gens as they shut out Oshawa in Game 1, 1-0. Blujus and the Battalion defense limited Oshawa to 24 shots on goal and North Bay peppered Gens goalie Daniel Altshuller (Hurricanes) with 54 shots. Jake Smith had his third shutout of the playoffs for North Bay. Game 2 is Sunday in Oshawa.
Montreal defense throws the net over the Lightning.
Montreal Leads the Series 2-0
Anders Lindback allowed 3 goals on 23 shots for the loss before giving way to Kristers Gudlevskis, who allowed 1 on 4 shots the rest of the way. If Cooper had a wild hair to put Gudlevskis in for Game Three, the wraparound goal Gudlevskis allowed might've quieted that thought down. As for Lindback, the third goal went through him on a greasy little bounce back to Gallagher off the blocked shot and he whiffed on the poke check on Bourque's goal, but on balance he played reasonably well and kept the Lightning around for most of the game. Goaltending isn't the reason the Lightning are losing this series so far.
First Period
Second Period
2:34 MTL Desharnais (1), (Subban, Pacioretty)(PP)

The first 10 minutes of the game took on the dimension of a lot of the regular season games between Tampa Bay and Montreal with the Lightning dominating possession and the Canadiens getting a few counter attacks in. That's where the Lightning need to get this series to get back into it. If possession is even or tilted in favor of Montreal, Price is probably too good to overcome. Unfortunately, in the second half of the First Period, a 4-minute minor on Stamkos started to take the starch out of the Lightning's offensive flow and when Desharnais scored the PP goal early in the Second Period after a ticky tack call on Panik, the offensive flow completely dissipated altogether. There's just too much inconsistency moving up the ice as a unit. Passing is off. Guys aren't consistently supporting their linemates. It wasn't as lopsided as the score indicates (shots were 27-26), but the Lightning need to get better within their structure to defeat Montreal's. It's a process, and they were certainly more together and composed than in Game One, and this series is nowhere near over. I reiterate the lesson of the 2003 series against Washington, when a young, talented Lightning team really looked terrible against a veteran Caps team in Game One and Game Two. Once they figured it out in Game Three, they swept the rest of that series. I have a feeling the Lightning may be capable of a similar breakout, but getting that first win is going to be the toughest. Hopefully the Lightning realize that and also realize the worst thing they can do at this moment is panic. Just win one game. That's all they need to worry about right now.
Mike Kostka had 1 shot, 1 hit, and 2 blocked shots in 13:13. His lack of speed and strength and decision making with the puck were a bit of an issue again tonight. At this stage, if I'm Cooper, I'm going to try to spark something by throwing Mark Barberio in against his hometown team for Game Three in lieu of Kostka, but we'll see how he plays it.
Cedric Paquette was -1 with 12 penalty minutes, 2 shots, and 2 hits in 10:18. He certainly wasn't at fault for the minus in the first Bourque goal where Salo was turned the wrong way, and he had a pretty glorious chance on Price in tight off a nice setup by Purcell. I like what Paquette brings, and on paper he's a playoff-style performer. But, needing a spark, again, if I'm Cooper I'm going in with Pyatt in Game Three.
It's officially a losing season for Syracuse.
Cedrick Desjardins allowed 5 goals on 24 shots for the loss.
First Period
RCH Schaller, (9) (Gillies, Irwin), 7:44
RCH Adam, (29) , 11:04

RCH Varone, (18) (Larsson, Hutchings), 15:27
Syracuse falls to 2 games under .500 with 1 game left to play. It's disappointing the team didn't finish stronger to set up what you hope is a rebound year next season.

Young Lightning shy away from the moment.
Montreal Leads the Series 1-0
Anders Lindback allowed 5 goals on 44 shots for the OT Loss. Obviously the Lightning got outshot by a mile and only lost by a goal, so it's hard to complain too much about Lindback's play, but there were a couple of goals (Plekanec and Eller's goals) Lindback might want back. On the Plekanec goal, Lindback failed to get square to the shooter and was moving and on the Eller goal he got a piece but allowed it to get behind him and in. He's not the reason they lost tonight, and in fact he helped keep them in the game longer than they had any business being in the game. But, it's also fair to say he can play better, too.
First Period
10:09 TB Kucherov (1), (Brown, Paquette)
10:28 MTL Plekanec (1), (Emelin, Gallagher)
Second Period
13:24 TB Stamkos (1), (Kostka)
16:39 MTL Gionta (1), (Eller, Weaver)(SH)

5:10 MTL Eller (1), (Gionta)
7:11 TB Killorn (1), (Johnson)
11:30 MTL Vanek (1), (Desharnais, Emelin)
13:27 TB Stamkos (2), (Killorn)
18:08 MTL Weise (1), (Brière, Gorges)
Steven Stamkos was the game's second star.
I'm kind of struggling about how to approach this one. Montreal came into this game very well prepared and with a plan to put pressure on the Lightning and on Lindback. For the most part, though, the Lightning did a decent early job of matching that intensity and they eventually manufactured the early goal by Kucherov all alone in the slot for the finish, and things were looking very rosy... for about 19 seconds. 19 seconds later Radko Gudas got undressed around the corner on the rush and Lindback allowed a semi-soft goal on the resulting shot from the left wing circle and the game was instantly tied, and the team's confidence immediately dissolved. They played the next 20 minutes of hockey scared and looking every bit a team that was terrified of the magnitude of playoff hockey. They struggled to get out of their end. They mishandled pucks. Their passing betrayed them. They gave a rash of turnovers to Montreal.
With all that happening, Lindback managed to keep the game at 1-1 until midway through the Second Period when the Lightning started to make a bit of a push, eventually culminating in a great individual effort by Stamkos to get a 2-1 lead and the Lightning going on the PP at 16:06 of the period on a horribly undisciplined penalty by blockhead PK Subban. You had the feeling that the Lightning were about to really swing the game in their favor at that moment when Victor Hedman made a pinch that a blind man would've seen was ill advised resulting in the Gionta shorthanded breakaway goal, and the Lightning played pretty much the entire rest of the game on their heels. Their Third Period was as bad a period as I've seen them play all year and only an abnormally mortal Carey Price allowed the Lightning to stay in the game as long as they did. Also, I will say, credit to Alex Killorn who had a goal and an assist in the period and was one of the few Lightning forwards who played well (at least on the offensive end of the rink). In the end, though, Montreal simply had too much zone time and too many chances for the Lightning to overcome. They had a handful of dangerous chances in Overtime to steal the game, but that's all it would've been: a theft. They didn't deserve Game One, and in the end they didn't win Game One.
Now, if you want a silver lining: the Lightning can't possibly play worse than they did in Game One, so they only have one direction to go, which is up. They have some ongoing injury issues with Ondrej Palat leaving the game after knee-to-knee contact with Subban, an obviously hobbled Filppula, and Bishop still out of the lineup. But, with that put aside, it seems unlikely the Lightning will play another game the rest of these playoffs with that sort of fractured structure, poor passing, and timid approach because of the magnitude of the moment. I expect them to push back in this series, and if anyone is looking for a point of reference for a young Lightning team that struggled with the moment in their first few home playoff games before figuring it out, pop in the tape of Game One and Game Two against Washington back in 2003. This kind of tepid start can certainly be overcome.
Mike Kostka had a helper, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 23:46. He struggled a bit with the extra gear of the playoffs, to be honest, and made a couple of big mistakes on the Eller goal by failing to keep a puck in at the opposing blueline and then failing to pick up the trailer on the resulting odd-man rush. I'm interested to see if Cooper sticks with Kostka or gives Barberio a shot in Game Two.
Cedric Paquette had a helper, 2 penalty minutes, 1 shot, 4 hits, and he was 27% on draws in 11:28. He played a very gritty playoff game and hit everything that moved. But, in the end, he wears the goat horns for abandoning Weise in front of the Lightning net on the game-winning goal in Overtime. It wasn't an athleticism issue, in this case, it was a decision making issue at a time of the year when poor decision making gets magnified ten-fold. Like Kostka, I'll be interested to see if Cooper sticks with Paquette or if he goes to the press box and brings in Pyatt or another forward. I feel bad for the young man because he played a pretty good game, otherwise.

There were a few firsts in the last Syracuse Crunch home game of the season.
Adam Erne registered his first professional goal and Joel Vermin recorded his first goal in North America, but the Crunch ultimately fell in a shootout to the Adirondack Phantoms, 5-4, at the Onondaga County War Memorial Wednesday.
"That was the positive from tonight, those guys scoring a goal and getting their first professional goals," said Crunch coach Rob Zettler. "Joel, I thought it was a great shot -- on and off the stick real quick. And for Adam, it was the same thing. That was the positive tonight."

As Fall quickly approaches and we debut #TravelingSweater, sweater season is surely in reach! As #TravelingSweater culminates, we'll be sharing with you some of our most cherished traveling destinations, for a long weekend or a more extensive expedition.
No better place to pack a bit of seasonal layering than San Francisco – where the summers require cozy cardigans, hoodies, pullovers, such as the Walden Sweater above. We brought our cozy layers on a recent weekend getaway to San Francisco – below, a few of the places we visited, sweaters in tow.
Thumbing through an awesome array of vintage and used at Dog Eared Books.
Stopped by super imaginative creamery Humphrey Slocombe, where the flavors include Peanut Butter Curry, Secret Breakfast, and Blue Bottle Vietnamese Iced Coffee.
No trip to SF would be complete without a visit to our store on 207 Powell.
If you're on Valencia Street, a meander inside Paxton Gate promises unique artifacts, beautiful plants, and plenty of wonder.
San Francisco style Mexican food is always a treat, and the burritos at El Farolito are worth the line.
Where are you taking your #TravelingSweater?

SUMMARY: A simple – and FREE — way to update your WordPress blog, Twitter timeline, and Facebook page using a social bookmarking service like Delicious or Diigo.
Many personal and company blogs fail not only because it's hard to find something to write about, but it's also difficult to find the time and the people to keep it up-to-date.
Yet for some reason it's easy for us to find time to share content with friends, family, coworkers, and even clients by emailing them links to interesting articles, videos, and games or even posting on Twitter or Facebook.
If you visit this blog regularly, you'll notice on the left, we have posts (like this one) where we found the time and the energy to write. But in the center column, titled "Seeds of Inspiration,†you'll see a bunch of short posts, which are essentially links to stuff we found interesting elsewhere on the web. If you click one of the links it will take you to that site.
For a company, this is a great way to show how you and your coworkers think. It shows what you enjoy and appreciate. And it keeps the content on your blog fresh, which Google likey.
Journalist and fellow blogger, Jeff Jarvis, said, "Write what you know best, and link to the rest.â€
So I'm going to show you how to link to the rest by syndicating interesting content across the web using using a social bookmarking service like Delicious or Diigo.
Step 1: Grab Your Feed
At the Creative Department, we use Delicious, but you can use whatever social bookmarking site you like, as long as they provide RSS feeds for the stuff you bookmark. The reason you need an RSS feed is because it is the secret sauce to updating our blog, Twitter account, and Facebook page.
Let's look at my Delicious account. On the right hand side you can see the public and private RSS feeds for my bookmarks. But I don't want to share EVERYTHING on our blog, this is MY personal Delicious account.
Again, if you look at my Delicious page you'll notice that a lot of my bookmarks are tagged with 'cd'.
I do this because THESE are links I want to share with the Creative Department audience. And on Delicious, every tag ALSO has an RSS feed. If you add a slash and the tag, 'cd', to my RSS feed, you get the feed for everything I've tagged for Creative Department. You can add whatever tag you want to your posts to differentiate them from your personal bookmarks.
Step 2: Syndicate It
Now to publish this feed to your Twitter or Facebook account, we need a syndication service. We use dlvr.it, but twitterfeed provides much of the same functionality.
Simply create a new Route, add your Delicious RSS feed as a Source and connect it to your Twitter account and Facebook pages as destinations. The nice thing about dlvr.it is that it allows you to schedule the days and times your feed items post. That way you don't overwhelm your followers with tons of posts. Dlvr.it also tracks how many clicks you get on each service.
To publish our feeds to our WordPress blog, we use Charles Johnson's FeedWordPress plugin to syndicate (again, just enter your Delicious RSS feed and select the keyword(s) and category(ies) you want news feed items to post to) and Justin Tadlock's Query Posts widget to show these specific posts in the sidebar.
Step 3: Relax
And that's pretty much it. Now you have bite-sized fresh content coming into your blog and social media accounts for doing what you normally do when procrastinating writing that next long blog post – surfing the web.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - A family loses their home in an apartment fire Tuesday morning on the southside of La Crosse.
Firefighters were sent to 1321 South 4th Street around 7:30 a.m. for a call of smoke coming from building.
Crews quickly arrived on the scene within four minutes and had the fire out in less than ten.
The fire was contained to one apartment, so all other tenants were able to return to their homes. Some of the other units did have minor damage from smoke and water.
According to inspectors from the La Crosse Fire Department, an overheated wall heater is believed to be the cause of the fire.

On whom voters trust more on healthcare, the poll found Obama leading Romney 49 percent to 46 percent.
Meanwhile, on the deficit, the margin is a bit wider in Romney's favor. The poll found likely voters feel Romney is the stronger candidate when it comes to solving the country's fiscal woes, with the GOP nominee topping Obama 50 percent to 45.
The silver lining for Obama is that 49 percent say Obama better understands the economic problems of people in the country while 44 percent say Romney does.
The poll, conducted among 1,278 likely voters from Oct. 24-27, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Munchhausen Syndrome and Munchhausen Syndrome by Proxy
The Truth Begins to Emerge
I reached home just as dawn was breaking. Had Angela been raped? It was possible. Some people don't show a lot of emotion, even in situations like these. Maybe shock prevented her from acting bent out of shape. But Angela's past behavior led me to believe that this rape scenario may have been fabricated. She was one of those people who constantly visited the emergency room. She always had the flu, headaches, and terrible menstrual cramps, in addition to a variety of odd symptoms that required tests to figure out if there was anything serious going on. By the time I had interpreted for her for several months, I would cringe any time the nurse ended the visit by saying, "If you have any of these symptoms, come back in."
Sure enough, Angela would show up just a few days later with one of the symptoms on the list that she hadn't already exploited. Some would say Angela was a hypochondriac, but I was beginning to think she was exhibiting Munchausen's Syndrome, a psychological disorder in which people will fake or cause diseases and injuries to get attention. Some people view this behavior as a minor psychological disorder, but the lying, manipulation, and extreme self-centeredness are trademarks of a more serious psychopathology. Could this be Angela's real problem? Was this sweet thing really a psychopath? I didn't know, but I wasn't going to lose sleep over it; in fact, I was looking forward to a good night's sleep that night to make up for staying with Angela until she left the hospital at sunrise.
Unfortunately, this was not to be. At midnight , my pager went off again. This time the call came from D.C. General Hospital .
I was at D.C. General in twenty minutes; it was much closer to my house than the other hospitals. As I walked into the emergency room, I muttered to myself, "I bet it's Angela."
And it was.
I had to shake my head to make sure I wasn't seeing things, but there she was again, this time already in her hospital gown waiting for the doctor to come in.
"Angela! What happened? You got raped again?" I believe I must have sounded a tiny bit incredulous.
Angela didn't bat an eye. "Yeah. Can you believe it?"
I really, really wanted to say "No, I don't believe it" this time. But the interpreter Code of Ethics does not permit this. I was here to facilitate communications, not to judge and interfere with the proceedings.
"Wow! Two nights in a row! Gosh, you have some bad luck!"
Angela nodded solemnly. "Yeah, really bad luck."
The doctor came in.
Angela told pretty much the same story as the night before.
The police investigator took his notes. Said he was sorry. Gave her a phone number.
The nurse patted her on the shoulder.
Angela didn't get a sandwich at DC General, but she got some crackers.
I got the start of my education in Munchausen's Syndrome and its cousin, Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy (when the psychopath's children are abused and even killed). What I was to learn from inside the medical system about this mostly female version of psychopathology was not only fascinating, but frightening. These women know how to work the doctors within medical institutions. The physicians who should have known about Munchausen's (in both of its forms) seemed to be clueless when it came knocking on their office door. The doctors often played right into these women's hands, oblivious to their manipulations, and even became unwitting accomplices to child abuse and homicide.

At Mona's Spa, the focus is on the skin. The aestheticians here use advanced techniques such as microdermabrasion and AHA and BHA peels to help rid faces of wrinkles, age spots, and dry patches. Clients can also receive shellac manicures and spa pedicures complete with foot soaks, masks, and hot towels.
Knockouts Haircuts for Men amps up the classic barbershop experience with a lavish, sports-themed approach to men's styling that has been featured on Today and CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch. At a still-growing number of locations throughout the country, the company's all-female staff of stylists quarterbacks a full playbook of services ranging from bare-essential to spa-worthy. First and foremost, they clip shaggy locks, but they also administer facials, manicures, massages, and waxes. Complimentary beverages are included with every visit, giving patrons something to sip on while watching a sports game on TV or contemplating how they would fend off a lion using just a comb.
Studio Suites at Reflections' licensed cosmetologists share more than 35 years of experience between them. Erica Tanniehill specializes in nail grooming and hair services, while Valerie Fails focuses on hair health and is well versed in bi-racial styling and working with hair textures of all sorts. Inside their studio, they offer deep treatment silk hair masks, cutting and styling, cornrows, and two-strand twists. With an emphasis on sanitation and sterilization, they also perform pedicures and manicures, and can wax away unwanted fuzz from brows, lips, chins, and most sweaters.
Licensed massage therapist Christina Pocharasang at Natural Art of Massage relieves clenched muscles and tense minds with a retinue of modalities. With the aid of all-natural creams and oils, her sweeping strokes spell out Swedish and deep-tissue movements that dispel stress and unravel knots in backs, shoulders, and limbs. The bodywork specialist also treats skin to natural facials and harnesses the penetrating heat of warm river stones to release knots without touching them, much like a Boy Scout with telekinesis.
At The Beauty Clinic MedSpa, medically supervised aestheticians help clients attain their ideal appearance through a range of face and body services. Staff members undergo in-depth training to help visitors select the high-end products from derma e, DermOrganic, and Fake Bake to best suit their complexions. A slate of facials resurface skin with the help of microdermabrasions and natural enzymes, and eyelash extensions, laser hair removal, and permanent makeup leave a longer-lasting elegance than the beauty mark chiseled into Mount Rushmore.
Marble statues and opulent light fixtures surround the pedicure chairs at Hollywood Nail & Spa, which could make clients feel as though they are getting their piggies pampered in the foyer of a Tuscan villa. The technicians here groom cuticles, artfully shape nails, and remove traces of cheese puff dust from fingers before applying coats of colorful polish or clear lacquers. Manicures leave hands silky smooth, while pedicures soften rough patches and calluses.
