Khloe reportedly quietly announced that she is pregnant while spending time with her family over the New Year's holiday. A new report from 'Media Take Out' claims she is holding back from making a big public announcement.
Khloe Kardashian is reportedly pregnant with her ex-husband Lamar Odom's baby, after she allegedly hooked with him before their final breakup and divorce paper filings, and quietly announced her pregnancy to her family on New Year's Day, according to a report by MediaTakeOut. This seems so uncharacteristic of Khloe, who was looking forward to moving on from Lamar and having a stress-free 2014!
Khloe Kardashian Pregnant With Lamar Odom's Baby?
"Khloe announced her pregnancy and asked the entire family to keep the news quiet," MediaTakeOut reported after the New Year's holiday. "Khloe's momager Kris [Jenner] is working on the proper time and place to make the announcement."
Khloe also allegedly revealed that she was "pretty sure" the baby was Lamar's and not her new guy Matt Kemp's baby, according to the site. It seems highly unlikely that Khloe would look back to Lamar while she's making efforts to have a really awesome 2014!
UPDATE: Khloe's rep told HollywoodLife.com that the reports about Khloe's pregnancy are not true.
Khloe Kardashian Wants 'Fresh Start' In The New Year
Khloe is gushing about the new year ahead, and it doesn't seem like she's looking back to Lamar at all. "I love the new year, new beginnings," Khloe told UK's Cosmo for their Feb. 2014 issue. "I need a good fresh start; I'm excited for this year [2013] to be over with. You only live once so let's make that one time perfect. We can't fix our mistakes and imperfections, so let's have fun. You get what you give out in life."
What do YOU think, HollyMoms? Do you think Khloe would ever go back to Lamar?

I wish Khloe was prego but not by Lamar… he has stressed her out enough. she us one if the only ones with brains and deserves happiness after all that she's been through!!
I wish she'd just get artificially inseminated and have a beautiful biracial baby girl! She'd be the best mother!
Good luck to her!

I think that out of all the kardashians that Khloe was the best. Her and Lamar's split was saddening. I always thought that they were the two that actually had common sense. Everyone is going to talk about whether it was scripted or a publicity stunt but it's their live and they have a right to live it. You can't complain about someone else's live being on the spotlight if you are the one watching it. If they weren't celebrities nobody would care or be wasting time putting your comments out about it. I have been a fan of Khloe's for a long time and my heart breaks for her. I always thought what they had was going to last and that they really loved each other. I am sorry that she has to endure this and as much as she is trying to be strong, everybody is dragging her down. People are always concerned whether she is pregnant, who her father really is, why her husband would cheat, what went wrong with her relationship and blaming her so called trashy family for all the problems. Regardless of what family she was born into, she is first and foremost a woman going through a horrible time in her life. If you are not going to be there to comfort her or willing to walk a day in her shoes then leave her alone. She has a right to cope with what she is going through in anyway she feels is best. If she wants to write a book, talk about it on tv or radio, or scream it for the world to bear, that's her business. You have a choice, either listen to it or change the channel.

Thank you! Finally someone thinks like I do, that she is first and formost a woman. And one that is going through a trying time, and is trying to do it as quietly as possible. If people would listen to what she says, she says she just wants to be left alone to deal with these things that she is going through on her own. She has to be on the show because the have contracts but that shouldn't give people the right to make up stuff and make horrible accusations about her. Anyway people just need to remember to be kind to others no matter who they are.

Week Twelve Analysis: Willis McGahee's knee injury has opened the door for talented third-round rookie Ronnie Hillman. While he'll surely share some work with Lance Ball and Knowshon Moreno, Hillman is infinitely more dynamic than both, and could certainly be a very useful fantasy option this week against Kansas City. Against opposing backs, the Chiefs rank 28th in rushing, 24th in receiving, and they just allowed the plodding BenJarvus Green-Ellis to have his best game of the season. Hillman's biggest knock has been his pass protection, but Denver will undoubtedly sprint to a lead in this one, so the rookie should get plenty of opportunities to stretch his legs.
Week Twelve Add: When the Broncos drafted Ronnie Hillman, I was pretty excited about his prospects of beating out Willis McGahee at some point during the season. But, McGahee has been serviceable, and Hillman has gotten little use. And worse, he's done very little with the time he's gotten. He's topped 3.9 yards per carry in just one game. Now Willis McGahee is out for at least a month, and maybe the rest of the regular season. Hillman becomes a plausible RB2 because of the quality of offense he plays on, and a favorable schedule, including next week's matchup with Kansas City. Hillman is worth a $16 in redraft leagues, and $25 in dynasty leagues because of his opportunity showcase his abilities, and remain the starter heading into next year.
Week Four Add: In a small surprise, the Broncos made Knowshon Moreno inactive last week, and gave Ronnie Hillman his first work of the season. He didn't do much, but the move made it clear that the Broncos recognize what fantasy owners have known for years, Moreno sucks, and almost any carbon based life form would be a fine alternative. Hillman will need to prove that he can pass block before he'll get a lot of playing time, but with Willis McGahee looking moribund as usual, Hillman should get some opportunities to prove that he's got some big play potential. Hillman is worth a $4 bid to stash him.
|Week 1
Week Two Drop: It's been a sizable fall from grace for Ronnie Hillman, as he's dropped from being a fantasy football darling, shortly after being drafted, all the way to this last week: inactive. Originally, we liked Hillman's upside because Willis McGahee is old and boring, Knowshon Moreno sucks, and Hillman was fresh and interesting. But Hillman did nothing in the preseason to distinguish himself, and he doesn't pass block well enough to be trusted to protect Peyton Manning.

September 2010 Archives
A few weeks ago, to mark the second anniversary of him taking the reins at St James' Park, I asked Chris Hughton whether he had enjoyed his time managing Newcastle.
He paused for what seemed like an eternity before finally replying that enjoyment was probably the wrong word. He enjoyed the challenge - but conceded that the cut and thrust nature of management meant that you never got long enough to enjoy a good result before a fresh set of problems come rushing over the horizon.
And so, just eight days after his managerial masterplan was being lauded following defeat of Everton, Hughton finds a new set of questions surrounding his approach after a dispiriting loss to long ball Stoke.
DID you hear the one about Raoul Moat?
No, seriously, did you REALLY hear the one about Raoul Moat.
HANDS up all those of you who didn't feel some emotion on Sunday when the BTCC returned to Donington Park.
Now...you lot with your hands up, its time to take a hike away from this blog.
There has to be something wrong with anyone who can't say they weren't happy to see the UK's premier car racing championship roll back into what many of us deem the best track in the country.
Robson Green made an appearance in this week's drama Joe Maddison's War.
Who? You know, Robson Green, used to be an actor. Retired to spend his time fishing.
When Alan Shearer talks about Newcastle United, it's generally worth listening to.
So 5Live's excellent 'Evening with Alan Shearer' - which was broadcast in conjunction with BBC Newcastle - was something close to required listening tonight.
United's top all-time goalscorer was in a relaxed, candid mood as he regaled an audience at the Centre for Life with memories of his playing career both for club and country - chucking in a few revelations for good measure. Who knew, for example, that he once came close to signing for Sampdoria in Serie A? Or that he now gets on really rather well with Ruud Gullit?
AS the World Cup meandered to its dull conclusion in late July, a popular theory emerged to explain the disappointing nature of events out in South Africa.
The Champions League, we were told, had usurped it's global equivalent to become the pinnacle of the sport. The football was better, the spectacle was grander and the fans and players simply cared about it more now.
After what we've witnessed over the last 48 hours, are we still buying that? Or - like me - do you suspect that this feast of football is pretty measly until we get to the knock-out stages?
PREMIER League managers that anticipate their team being engaged in the battle at the wrong end of the table often talk of winning their own 'mini-league'.
Aware that a moneyed elite have annexed the top ten for themselves, the challenge for the likes of Newcastle and Sunderland is to best Bolton, Fulham, Wigan et al and clamber to the top of the bottom half of the league.
Humbling for a club that was taking on Europe's elite a decade ago? Certainly. But let's be realistic - the rebuilding job is in it's formative years and United need to flex their muscles against the middleweights before stepping up their ambitions.
CHRIS Hughton is known as Barack Obama by Newcastle United's dressing room wags - at least when his back is turned.
The nickname has something to do with a supposed resemblance of the 44th US president but the truth is that Hughton is one of the few in the managerial fraternity who doesn't play the politician when it suits him.
SUCCESS in mixed martial arts is all about experience, talent and hard work. You need a combination of all three to get to the top and, as a relative newcomer to the UFC, I'm concentrating on building up my experience right now. I'm competing against different types of fighters, with different styles and threats, and am gradually becoming more and more comfortable inside the Octagon.
We all saw how James Toney's lack of experience cost him against Randy Couture at the weekend. No matter how talented you may have been in another sport, the cross over to mixed martial arts won't work if you don't have experience in wrestling, grappling and various other disciplines that don't come naturally to a boxer.
RYUICHI Kiyonari and Tommy Hill will this weekend lead the title fighters into Croft Circuit as the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship enters The Showdown.
The pair are the joint leaders in the series now, but are only one point clear of Josh Brookes, who will be looking to dominate this weekend as the series roars into Burning Rubber's local track for Round 10.
The action in the country's premier series is now entering the "Showdown" phase, with six riders - "the title-fighters" - all in close contention going into the final seven races and three rounds.

While Norwich and Cardiff were unable to create a goal at Carrow Road on Saturday, their game was far from boring. Both goalkeepers and defenses did well to keep clean sheets despite a fairly open game with some decent chances, and in the end, a pair of teams just looking to stay up this season won't be too displeased with a 0-0 draw.
Norwich were well in control in the early going, but got caught out on a counter 25 minutes in for the first big chance of the match. John Ruddy was forced into a huge save on Jordan Mutch from close-range, denying the Cardiff man after Peter Odemwingie squared for him, setting up what should have been a goal.
The rest of the half was all Canaries, but they failed to capitalize on numerous great chances. David Marshall matched Ruddy on the other end four minutes after Mutch's chance, stopping a deflected shot from Jonny Howson. Kevin Theopile had to make a big clearance off the line on the ensuing corner, preventing a volley from Leroy Fer from hitting the back of the net.
Just before the halftime whistle, Cardiff were saved by the post. Robert Snodgrass hit a shot that deflected off the leg of Howson and had Marshall well beat, but the ball spanked off the upright as the teams headed into the halftime break without scoring.
Cardiff defended much better in the second half and looked much more capable of holding on for a draw, despite some active work up top by Gary Hooper, who just barely missed on the target on a few solid half-chances. Nathan Redmond's introduction in the 72nd minute sparked Norwich to life, but they never threatened like they did in the first half.
Norwich: Ruddy, Olsson, Bassong, Turner, Martin, Snodgrass, Howson (van Wolfswinkel 87'), Fer, Tettey, Pilkington (Redmond 72'), Hooper (Elmander 72')
Goals: None
Cardiff: Marshall, Taylor, Caulker, Turner, Theopile, Medel (Bellamy 72'), Kim (Gunnersson 45'), Mutch, Whittingham, Odemwingie (Cowie 45'), Campbell
Goals: None

This exclusive series to Nation's Restaurant News provides insight into the sales and traffic data from clients subscribing to Black Box Intelligence, a financial performance benchmarking company. The views expressed here do not necessarily reflect those of Nation's Restaurant News.
The year continues to be disappointing for the restaurant industry as February again resulted in negative same-store sales, according to The Restaurant Industry Snapshot released this week by Black Box Intelligence and People Report.
Same-store sales for restaurants fell 0.7 percent during February, which is a small, 0.2-percent improvement from the 0.9-percent decrease reported for January. February is the third consecutive month in which this key metric has been negative — something that hadn't occurred in more than three years.
These numbers are clear evidence of the predicament the industry faces during this unusually cold winter, according to Victor Fernandez, Executive Director of Insights and Knowledge for TDn2K, parent company of Black Box Intelligence and People Report. "As has been the case with the previous three months, weather has been the key factor driving down sales for the restaurant industry," he said.
• Report: Polar vortex weakens January restaurant spending
• Report: Bad weather hurts December restaurant sales
• Sales & Sentiment Tracker at NRN.com
However, Fernandez also noted that the results are a bit deceiving. "The reality is February of last year was a horrible month for the industry as a perfect storm of rising payroll taxes, political uncertainty, and bad weather hit the country and drove same-store sales to almost -5.0 percent for the month, the worst results since the period immediately after the end of the recession in 2009," he noted. "Under that perspective, the -0.7 percent posted by the industry in February 2014 is very concerning when analyzed on a two-year basis."
As has been reported in the past, declining same-store guest counts continue to be the main problem for restaurants. February posted a same-store traffic decline of 3.2 percent, the second-worst growth rate in the last 12 months.
Although same-store sales improved slightly over January, traffic actually worsened by 1.0 percent on a same-store basis. "As was the case with sales," said Fernandez, "to keep these latest results in perspective we need to remember that we are calculating those growth rates compared with one of the worst months we have seen in recent years; February 2013 posted guest-count growth of about -6.0 percent. The reality is February of 2014 was very bad for the industry, but this got obscured by the fact that February 2013 was also terrible."
The Restaurant Willingness to Spend Index, published by Consumer Edge Research, posted a value of 94 for the second consecutive month in February. The value of this index has been over 90 for seven of the last eight months, which hasn't been seen in more than three years.
"We believe there continues to be pent-up demand that is not materializing in additional restaurant visits and sales due to the winter storms," said Fernandez. "However, the effect on consumers' wallets due to the rising heating costs this season is a concern for the next few months."
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan consumer confidence index improved slightly during February, supporting the idea that consumer spending may pick up during March and April as weather starts becoming less of a barrier.
According to the latest results published by People Report, the growth of the industry has been fueled primarily through new restaurant openings, which is reflected in the 3.3-percent year-over-year job growth reported for January. That number reflects a 0.1-percent increase from December, but more importantly, it is the third consecutive month with jobs growing at a pace of more than 3.0 percent. Staffing pressures are also being reflected in turnover, which again continued its upward trend for both restaurant managers and restaurant hourly employees on a rolling 12-month basis.
The Restaurant Industry Snapshot is a compilation of real sales and traffic results from over 180 DMAs from 100+ restaurant brands and over 17,000 restaurants that are clients of Black Box Intelligence, a TDn2K company. Currently, data is reported in four distinct segments: casual dining, upscale/fine-dining, fast casual, and family dining. Black Box Intelligence is a sister company to People Report, which tracks the workforce analytics of one million restaurant employees. The Restaurant Industry Snapshot also includes the Restaurant Industry Willingness to Spend Index from Consumer Edge Research, which is a monthly household survey of more than 2,500 consumers. Consumer Edge Insights is a marketing partner of Black Box Intelligence and People Report.

LSU looking into check fraud scheme
LSU Health Care Services Division received notification from law enforcement agencies on Nov. 14 that one of its employees had been accessing images of a limited number of patients' checks and possibly using that information in a check fraud scheme. From the point it first became aware of this criminal activity, LSU HCSD has cooperated to the fullest extent possible with law enforcement. It has been estimated that the unauthorized access began in January, 2012, but LSU HCSD is continuing its investigation to determine when this activity began. Information accessed by this employee varied by patient, but may have included checking account, driver's license, and social security numbers, date of birth, and other demographic information.

Bob Dombroski, 65, of Wheeler Road has run 4.5 miles a day since he and his wife Anita moved to town in 2003. When the couple lived in Michigan, Dombroski ran 6.2 miles a day. Now the Democrat is running against longtime incumbent State Rep. DebraLee Hovey, a Republican, in the staunchly conservative 112th District.
"When I first ran in Michigan, as now, it was constant uphill running," Dombroski said. "I joined this race, because it's an uphill race, and I enjoy running uphill."
Ten delegates, two from Newtown and eight from Monroe, unanimously nominated Dombroski in the Democratic Convention for the 112th State House District Tuesday night. The 112th represents a portion of Newtown and Monroe.
"The last time I ran for office was in Michigan in 1990, roughly 20 years ago," Dombroski said. "I was a young man. Now near retirement at 65, I will campaign vigorously."
Lee Crouch served as chairman during Tuesday's proceedings and Dr. Alan Vaglivelo was secretary. In his nominating speech, Vaglivelo said, "Bob's strong leadership skills, family values and commitment to community make him an excellent candidate for the 112th District.
Monroe Democratic Town Committee Chairman Nick Kapoor said of Dombroski, "I'm very excited about his campaign. Representative Hovey is going to have to show why she should be reelected. It's a good race. I'm looking forward to a productive discussion of the issues in the 112th."
In a short speech, Dombroski said he was more interested in discussing his own background and qualifications, rather than his opponent's record at this time. But he went on to say a few things about Hovey anyway.
"I, quite frankly, had no impression whatsoever of my opponent," Dombroski said. "One of the salient reasons is I know nothing of my opponent and what she's done — and she's been a representative for over a decade. Now that's disconcerting."
"What we need at this point is somebody to lead," he said. "Somebody to get us out of this mess. We're in a national economy that's akin to The Great Depression."
Dombroski and Anita, president of Housatonic Community College and his wife of 40 years, have two daughters, Kara and Ariel. Ariel earned her Master's Degree in Anthropology from the University of Columbia last year and has been looking for employment ever since.
Dombroski is happy with the job Gov. Dannel Malloy is doing, but complained that there are constant cutbacks "when we need job creation". He believes Connecticut needs more teachers and people in law enforcement.
"I believe in public education and that will be my number one priority in the legislature," said Dombroski. "Educators are our job creators."
Dombroski's late father was a high school physical education teacher and his daughter Kara is an elementary school teacher in Michigan.
Legal Career
Bob Dombroski grew up in Portland, Conn., before school took him to Michigan. He graduated from Wesleyan University before earning his law degree from the University of Michigan Law School at Ann Arbor where he met Anita, his bride-to-be.
Dombroski was an assistant prosecutor and went on to the position of staff attorney with Northern Michigan Legal Services.
"This law firm was a pioneer grantee of J.F.K./L.B.J.'s anti-poverty program," Vaglivelo said in his nominating speech. "Bob stayed on to open up an office in Traverse City, Mich., which went on to serve 10 counties in the northwest region of the lower peninsula. The firm had four attorney's under the national leadership of Jimmy Carter and the then head of the Legal Services Corporation, Hillary Rodham Clinton."
Dombroski said he served there from 1975 to 1984, when President Ronald Reagan cut the program from four attorneys in a bad recession to only Dombrowski.
"Those were the best years of my legal career, helping poor white rural people in northern Michigan," he recalled.
Those receiving assistance were blue collar people working in the mining and timber industry. Dombroski said many of them depended on firewood for heat in the winter and hunted for deer and other wildlife to help to put food on the table.
Dombroski said his family moved to Monroe in 2003 when Anita was hired as a dean at Housatonic Community College. At that time, Dombroski retired from his law practive to care for his ailing father.
Zygmund Dombroski
Dombroski's father Zygmund died at age 89. The youngest of eight siblings of Polish immigrants, Zygmund grew up on a farm in Portland, graduated from high school and went on to earn a college degree at the University of Alabama when America was in the midst of The Great Depression — a time when less than five percent of the population had college degrees, according to Dombroski.
Dombroski said high school teacher Anna O'Brien encouraged his father to go to college, adding she was also his teacher years later.
Zygmund grew up in a Republican household, but became a Democrat after President Franklin D. Roosevelt impressed him with the New Deal while trying to pull the country out of the Great Depression.
His brother Joe went on to be active in Connecticut politics and Dombroski remembers hearing his uncle and father arguing about politics often.
Dombroski himself ran for a state legislative seat covering the Port Huron area and Sanilac County in Michigan in 1990, but lost.
"The Nichols brothers have a farm in a rural part of the district I ran in," he said. "They were friends with Timothy McVeigh, who was convicted in the Oklahoma City bombing. There is militia there. Not a friendly place for a Democrat to be running."
When asked why he is a Democrat, Dombroski said, "I think it's really easy now to be a Democrat, because of what's happened in the Republican party — how much going on in the national Republican party has filtered down to the state and local level. There's a lack of civility. It's no longer the party of Raymond Baldwin, Clare Booth Luce and Lowell Weicker. Instead its become the party of Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter."

Tutorial: Creating a "Vertigo-Effect" in a Timelapse Shot with After Effects
this is a little tutorial about how to create a "vertigo" effect with a z-push or pull (moving the camera towards or backwards in the shot) timelapse move using after effects.
i show you this technique on a what we call it "Walklapse" timelapse which is pretty much like a stop motion move. that's the reason for why we also call it a stop motion timelapse. some people call this technique a "Hyperlapse" which is for my taste … you know … sounds like a overhyped mainstream thingy. personally i don't like this word. don't know what's so hyper on this …. it's a camera move … nothing more or less ;) …. a big one OK …. but still a camera move :)
anyhow … here is one way how you can do a vertigo effect with such a move.
if you wanna see some more Walklapses, Stop Motion Timelapses, Hyperlapses, Freakoutlapses, Alienlapses or what so ever you wanna call these kind of shots here is our USA Trip video from 2012. :-)

He's been called a "gadfly" and a "perennial candidate."
John Jay Hooker, an 83-year-old Nashville attorney who has run for most major elected offices over the last 50 years, is threatening again to run for office -- this time against Gov. Bill Haslam -- if he doesn't get his way on how the state's appellate and Supreme Court judges are evaluated and elected.
Since 1994, when the current judicial system was adopted, he's vigorously opposed the state's method of having "retention elections" for higher court judges, meaning voters only get to vote "yes" or "no" on whether to keep a judge. Unlike local and trial court judges, people can't simply file to run against appellate or Supreme Court judges.
Hooker wants Haslam to change that.
"We need to 'Get into the word' as they say in religion. We need to get into the word that says, 'Thou shalt not steal,'" Hooker said Tuesday. "I want him not to steal my right to run for judgeship."
He's already sued the state, successfully getting a Davidson County Circuit Court judge to declare the Tennessee's Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission was unconstitutionally seated because its members don't "approximate the population of the state with respect to race and gender," as Tennessee law dictates. And he's filed a second suit saying that anything decided after the judge's ruling should be tossed out as void.
Hooker has run unsuccessfully for governor in 1966, 1970 and 1998. He met with the same results when he ran for the U.S. Senate in 1976, 1994 and 1996. While he's traditionally run as a Democrat, he said he'd likely try to run against Haslam as a Republican, to force the issue of judicial elections into the spotlight.
"They probably won't let me run in the Republican primary, but I'll try," Hooker said."I don't expect to win but I'm serious in the sense that I'd like to make a real lot of noise."

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools staff is recommending some serious changes for students. It will include closing some schools, consolidating others, ending some programs, and creating a year round school for two facilities.
The staff has recommended to close Amay James Pre-K, Chantilly Elementary, Highland Mill Elementary, Irwin Avenue Elementary, Pawtuckett Elementary, University Park Elementary, Villa Heights Elementary, Bishop Spaugh Academy, Davidson IB Middle, John Taylor Williams Middle, Wilson Middle, and Smith Language Academy, which is K-8.
To read the full list of proposed changes, CLICK HERE.
CMS is also recommending a year round magnet school at Myers Park Elementary and First Ward Creative Arts Elementary (University Park Creative Arts Elementary students would be sent to First Ward and the programs would combine).
Villa Heights Elementary students would be sent to the Elizabeth Elementary building.
Pawtuckett Elementary students would be sent to Whitewater Academy.
Davidson IB Middle School students would be sent, along with their IB program, to Alexander Middle School.
Cochrane Middle School would actually be converted to house grades 6-12 under the proposal.
Other schools would go from just having elementary students to K-8. These schools include Ashley Park Elementary, Berryhill Elementary, Druid Hills Elementary, Lincoln Heights Elementary, Reid Park Elementary, Thomasboro Elementary, Walter G. Byers Elementary, and Westerly Hills Elementary.
Another part of the plan calls for relocating the Smith Language Academy, which is K-8, to the current site of Waddell High School. Waddell would no longer be a high school, and the students would be reassigned to South Meck High, West Meck High, and Harding University High.
There are a lot of other changes to other schools being proposed as well. For instance, boundary changes would help relieve overcrowding at Ballantyne Elementary, Highland Creek Elementary, Torrence Creek Elementary, Community House Middle, and Mint Hill Middle.
There's also a lot of schools that would get some assistance from CMS. To see their names, CLICK HERE and go to page 8.

I loved the open back dress pattern, but since I didn't think I'd get much wear out of it as a dress, I converted it into a blouse. After I constructed the bodice of the dress I added a self-drafted peplum and two buttons for the closure. It's the perfect summer top!
Jul 6, 2013, 01.44 PMby alekat
wow thats so pretty! And a great idea to convert it into a top! Great work!

Thanks :)
Jun 30, 2013, 06.21 AMby khatsu
What a great idea! I loved this from the magazine too but then I looked at the fabric requirements. I like your top version better since, like you said, it would probably get worn a whole lot more.
Jul 1, 2013, 03.50 AMby Slotaby
Thanks! I definitely used way less fabric than the pattern called for – probably only 1 or 1.5 yds. I've already worn it twice :)

LP Monday Message: 6 Ballot Access Questions
Posted on Nov 25, 2013
Dear Friend of Liberty,
You can find answers to the following six questions below (originally posted on our Ballot Access Fund page).
- Which state ran a candidate for governor in 2010, set a record high percentage in that race for a Libertarian, but fell a heart-breaking 1,614 votes short of the 50,000 votes needed to achieve ballot access? Hint: The state plans to try again in 2014.
- In which state did a Republican governor just sign a bill to kick the LP off the ballot? The state's 2014 Libertarian candidate for governor proclaimed, "We will not back down and we will fight this!" Hint: That state LP affiliate calls the bill the "John Kasich Re-election Protection Act" and is fighting the act on multiple fronts, including the courts.
- In 2008, the Libertarian National Committee (LNC) spent $479,835 for presidential ballot access, resulting in getting on the ballot in 45 states. In 2012, did the LNC spend more or less to get Gary Johnson on the ballot in 48 states plus Washington, D.C.?
- Where did we earn qualified party status for the first time ever based on the 2012 election for this jurisdiction's candidate?
- In which state did the 2012 LP candidate for governor earn qualified party status (so we don't need to petition in the next cycle) — and it's only the second time in history the party has won ballot access here?
- Which two states have petitioned early and qualified for the 2014 ballot this year?
The Republicans and Democrats make ballot access a major burden for the Libertarian Party, but we are fighting back by lobbying, in the courts, at the ballot box, and by raising money and petitioning. Please help us out today.
Please donate to our ballot access fund, and go find the answers to the questions above.
Yours in liberty,
Wes Benedict
Executive Director
Libertarian National Committee
- New York
- Ohio
- The LNC spent $97,374 less for presidential ballot access in 2012 than it spent in 2008, yet was on the ballot in three more states plus Washington, D.C.
- District of Columbia
(Thanks to D.C. candidate for delegate Bruce Majors. Taking advantage of that ballot access, Majors and two other D.C. Libertarians filed paperwork last week to run for office in 2014.)

S. R. Nathan
Sellapan Ramanathan (b. 3 July 1924, Singapore - ), popularly known as S. R. Nathan, became the sixth President of Singapore on 1 September 1999. With two terms (12 years) in office, he is Singapore's longest-serving President. Nathan previously held key positions in security, intelligence and foreign affairs, and chaired various companies and academic institutions.
Early life
When he was a child, Nathan's family moved to Muar, Johor, where his father held a clerical job in a legal firm servicing rubber plantations. However his father lost his job when the rubber industry declined in the 1930s, and the family moved back to Singapore. His father worked a number of odd jobs but found difficulty providing for the family, and killed himself when Nathan was eight.
After the family tragedy, Nathan's family resided with his uncle, and he studied at Anglo-Chinese Primary School, Anglo-Chinese Middle School, Rangoon Road Afternoon School and later Victoria School. At the age of 16, Nathan fell out with his mother and left home to work at an architectural firm, Arbenz & Co. He later moved to Muar to work as a clerk and to keep his family from finding him. Four years later, he returned to Singapore and reconciled with his mother and family.
During the Japanese Occupation, Nathan received an English-Japanese dictionary as a gift and learned the Japanese language. He excelled as a translator and interpreter, and eventually worked for the top official in the Japanese civilian police. Nathan has said that his experiences during the Occupation turned his outlook from pro-British to anti-colonialist, and awoke an incipient sense of nation.
After the end of World War II, Nathan took a hiatus from his job as a clerk at the Public Works Department to pursue his studies. With the assistance of a S$2,000-a-year bursary from Shell, he became one of the eight undergraduates in the pioneer group of Social Work students at the University of Malaya. He graduated with a distinction in his Diploma in Social Studies in 1954, upon which he worked as a medical social worker and Seamen's Welfare Officer with the Ministry of Labour.
In 1962, Nathan was seconded to the Labour Research Unit (LRU), an autonomous body created by the government to assist the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) with research and industrial negotiations. He started as Assistant Director of the unit before becoming Director, at a time of industrial unrest and frequent strikes. The LRU played a key role as the NTUC successfully competed with opposition-backed unions for the support of workers, and was later absorbed into the NTUC and renamed the Administration and Research Unit.
Nathan was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1966, and later moved to the Ministry of Defence where he served as Director of the Security and Intelligence Division (SID) between 1971 and 1979. During his tenure as SID Director, Nathan dealt with a number of terrorist acts in Singapore, including the hijackings of the Laju ferry in 1974, an Air Vietnam flight in 1977 and a Vietnamese freighter in 1978.
In the Laju incident, Nathan negotiated over eight days with four hijackers from the Japanese Red Army and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine for the safe release of the ferry's crew. He then led a 13-official delegation which accompanied the hijackers on a flight to Kuwait as guarantors of their safe passage, after they had released the hostages.
Upon his retirement from the civil service in 1982, Nathan became Executive Chairman of the Straits Times Press and later Singapore Press Holdings in 1984.
In 1988, Nathan was appointed High Commissioner to Malaysia before becoming Ambassador to the United States two years later. Both appointments took place against a backdrop of strained bilateral ties. In the case of the former, he took on the appointment soon after Israel President Chaim Herzog visited Singapore, which led to tensions with Malaysia. While serving as Ambassador to the United States, Nathan dealt with American diplomatic pressure to prevent the caning of American citizen and convicted vandal Michael Fay.
After the two stints, Nathan was Singapore's Ambassador-at-large and became Director of the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies. He was later Pro-Chancellor of the National University of Singapore.
In July 1999, President Ong Teng Cheong declared his decision not to seek re-election. After being asked to consider running by several public figures including Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew and former President Wee Kim Wee, Nathan announced his candidacy for the presidential post on 6 August. On 18 August, Nathan was elected President as the sole eligible candidate after two other potential candidates failed to meet constitutional criteria for the post. On 17 August 2005, he was re-elected for a second term without a contest as there were no eligible challengers.
Soon after taking office, Nathan founded the President's Challenge in 2000, a series of community-based fundraising events for charity. Between 2000 and 2011, the Challenge raised more than S$100 million for more than 500 beneficiary organisations. Nathan also created the President's Social Service Awards to recognise achievers in fields such as nursing, social work and environmental activism.
In 2009, Nathan approved the government's use of S$4.9 billion from the reserves to fund anti-recessionary measures. This marked the first time the government had applied to use part of the reserves, which requires the approval of the President and the Council of Presidential Advisers.
Between 2001 and 2011, Nathan made state visits to 29 countries, including eight ASEAN capitals. Many of these state visits were firsts for Singapore, including those to South Africa, Namibia and Botswana in 2007. Political observers have noted that Nathan's foreign affairs background helped strengthen diplomatic ties and facilitate trade links.
In July 2011, Nathan announced that he would not seek a third term as president. Media reports placed a large part of Nathan's legacy within the context of his work with the disadvantaged, rapport with citizens and various communities, and support of a diverse range of social causes. In August, the Institute of South East Asian Affairs announced that Nathan would be joining it as Distinguished Senior Fellow after leaving office.

The Golden State Warriors are in need of some help. After losing both Festus Ezeli (knee surgery) and Jermaine O'Neal (sprained wrist), their frontcourth depth is thin. On Wednesday, it was announced that the Warriors are calling-up Santa Cruz Warriors stud Hilton Armstrong.
Armstrong, 29, will be in uniform on Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. The 6-11 center last played in the NBA in the 2010-2011 season with the Atlanta Hawks. He was the No. 12 overall pick in the 2006 draft by the New Orleans Hornets.
The former UConn Huskie has spent the last few years playing overseas in France and Greece, as well the NBA Developmental League.
He has averaged 15.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and three blocks per game in six games this season with Santa Cruz.
In his NBA career, Armstrong has averaged 3.1 points and 2.6 rebounds in just under 12 minutes per game, while shooting over 50 percent from the field.

It was a saloon before Prohibition, and then it was converted into a restaurant. Over the years it alternated between serving food and liquor, eventually becoming a pet grooming business and most recently, the Mayor's office says, an eyesore.
On Tuesday, Mayor Winnecke will use a sledgehammer to take the first swing at the old Paddock Tavern, as demolition crews begin to raze the dilapidated structure at 1510 N. First Ave.
The building was recently purchased by Bootz Manufacturing, which opened a distribution center at 1600 N. First Ave. in 2010. Bootz President and CEO Pete DeSocio said the company completed extensive landscaping around the distribution center and was recognized with the 2011 Community Improvement of the Year Award by Keep Evansville Beautiful.
DeSocio said the company views purchasing and tearing down the old tavern as a community improvement project and a way to enhance safety. He said the building blocks the line-of-sight for truck drivers making deliveries to the distribution center off First Avenue, causing drivers to miss the entrance and have to turn around.
Floyd Staub, Inc., has been contracted to raze the structure. The work is set to begin Nov. 13, at 8 a.m. Staub will be closing the inside southbound lane of First Avenue for one hour.
According to Historic Preservation Officer Dennis Au, the structure was built sometime between 1905 and 1910. Before Prohibition, it was Emerson B. Baldsdon's Saloon. During Prohibition it was converted into a restaurant. One of the eateries was owned by Abraham Schick in 1929. After Prohibition, in 1939, William Kirsch ran a tavern at the location.
Au said during World War II, George Kirsch (1942) and Nellie Piper (1944) operated restaurants in the building. In 1983, it was listed as Art's Post and Paddock Tavern. After that, the building was vacant for almost a decade. In 1997, Country Charm Pet Grooming opened at the location. The building was purchased by Bootz Manufacturing in 2012.

Knee Surgery!
May 14, 2010 at 9:15 pm 6 comments
It has been a whirlwind of a semester since I did my last blog from Jamaica. I'm done with my crazy 7-class schedule and ready for summer! I just got knee surgery two days ago, so I have some time on my hands! I just had a "plica band" removed and some cartilage/ fat pad trimmed in my right knee. To be honest, it's hurting pretty bad right now but it's supposed to be getting better each day! I finally got to shower today… so progress in personal hygiene is always good! It is weird to think that this injury started last fall and then I did an Ironman with the injury, only to amplify everything. And now, here I am. I woke up from surgery to tell the nurses "fun facts" such as "Queen Victoria was the one who had hemophilia"… Totally delirious, but I learned that from a cereal box when I was little! Oh Canada! She thought I was crazy… But anyway, everyone has a good story from when they wake up from anesthesia. Now I'm laying low, watching tons of movies and crutching around. I'm on the road to recovery and cannot wait for the day when I can run again! If anything, this injury has taught me to never take any kind of exercise for granted!!
Day after surgery.. crutches.
The goal! Running again…!
I couldn't be happier for this semester to be over! I was pretty stressed at times academically, but I got to do some really cool things! In February I went to Vancouver to watch the last week of the Olympics. I went with my family, and being total hockey fanatics, we went to just about every hockey game! The Canada-Russia men's game was hands-down the best sporting event I have ever been to in my life! It has almost been hard to go to any other events now because that was such an intense game! And the crowd was like nothing I have ever seen- so loud, spirited and it literally makes me smile thinking about it ever time. My brothers and I were hugging every stranger, singing the anthem all day, it was ridiculous and too hard to describe!! I left the morning of the gold medal game to come back to Boulder to watch on TV. I wore my Canada (Crosby, nonetheless!) jersey to school the next day and was practically getting death threats! So the Olympics were cool, very cool, and an unforgettable experience!
With my little brother Luke at the flame
Family at the Canada-Russia Game!
Celebrating Canada's Victory! A little too much Canadian Pride at this moment..
With my mom and two painted homies at the molson hockey house!
I also went to New York in March to do a photo shoot for Women's Health Magazine. It was a fitness shoot that will be in the June issue, and another in the July issue (my birth month) so I'm very excited! It was very fun and I'm so happy Wilhelmina hooked that up for me. As soon as I finished shooting I went to visit "Babycakes" a vegan, gluten-free bakery in the city! I have recently been diagnosed with Celiac disease, so I can't have gluten anymore! It isn't too difficult in Boulder, but GF baking has become a new hobby and I am a huge fan of babycakes!
Babycakes is a gluten-free, sweet-tooth's heaven!
In March, I went to LA for springbreak to visit my delightful roommate Chloe. We had a great time at the beach, shopping and exploring the city! I love California so much! Luckily, I will be going there next Thursday to watch the last 3 stages of the tour de California! Well… if guess it depends on if I can walk by then!
Chloe and I cruising to Malibu!
Just last week the Triathlete Swimsuit Issue came out and by some miracle I saw myself on the cover! I still cannot even believe it and it was a huge honour ! I think the issue came out very well because it was such a fun shoot and that really shows in the pictures! All of the girls are athletes, incredibly friendly, wonderful people and it was a great experience to work with them! Linda Baltes and Kristina Baskett looked amazing and I know they both have so much potential in the sport and in modeling! I hope there are not too many harsh "letters to the editor" about the issue, even though I have already seen some of the comments. I don't think anyone can say that our bodies aren't "real" because I might have set a world record in April by suffering from an intense peanut butter addiction. Not kidding, 9 jars of peanut butter in 12 days. Yes, I'm disgusting… I have gone cold turkey now for the record! So take a look at Triathlete magazine if you come across it!
For now, taking care of my knee and watching the hockey playoffs! Unfortunately, my team the Pittsburgh Penguins are out! I will now be cheering for the only Canadian team left, the Montreal Canadiens… although it won't be the same! I will be at the tour de California next week and the Tour de France in July! Lots of cycling to get me motivated to get back on my bike… not that I need any motivation really. I'm ready to be back!!

Good luck in the recovery! I've been dealing with some knee problems of my own lately and have just started back with running/cycling (very very slowly), so I know how you feel. I was going crazy. Enjoy the break for what it's worth and then put in the same level of effort during physio and you'll be back on track.
OMG! Who knew?! First, sorry about your knee Ryann! but glad to see that your in such high spirits!…. Sometimes you wonder what happens to your old school mates…and its just GREAT to see you are doing all this fabulous stuff!!!! But kinda not a surprise…no one had a nicer attitude than u..so most deserving.
Canada's victory was crazy…we partied in the streets ahahaha (Ottawa)….Anyhoooooo take care and Best Wishes on everything!
Let me know whenever your in this part of Canada :D
Hi!!! Ryann
Wonderful story, you have done great things, sorry about your knee, during the time it will be fine, youl´ll run again, another Ironman maybe? I already saw Triathlete Magazine, you are great at the cover, congratulation,
Be patient with your knee, it too shall pass. Good luck!!!
Hey there sweets. Saw your cover on triathlete and really stoked for you! Pretty amazing!! Hope you are recovering well from your surgery–ouch. When you are in France please let Dirk and I know–we are going to some of the stages for the TdF too so we will have to hook up there. Hope you're well! Keep kicking butt! Alicia
Just be patient with the knee surgery. I've been through 3 of them and being patient is the best advice I can give. Great story though, I was actually at the pens game 7. Goodluck with the knee and hope it heals fast.
I´m from Mexico but studied in Lethbridge, AB, I loved it! I loved Canada. I started running while I was there and I am training for my first Triathlon.
Luckily Triathlete magazine is sold in Mexico. I had visited previously your blog but didn´t know you were so famous :)
I hope you recover quickly, because from past injuries I know how boring it is to be confined to the couch-potato life :)
All the best

The New England Patriots' famed two tight-end package took a major blow Sunday when Aaron Hernandez left the game with an ankle injury during the Pats' loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Now, the news appears to get worse for the Patriots, as Pro Football Talk is reporting that Hernandez could miss up to six weeks with the ailment.
PFT's Mike Florio has developed a well-earned reputation for running with a single, anonymous source and being burned with misinformation. But when the injury occurred, NFL.com's Albert Breer reported it was a high-ankle sprain, which always have an indefinite, but long, timetable.
Hernandez's injury would figure to open up even more looks for record-breaking tight end Rob Gronkowski, as well as wide receivers Brandon Lloyd and Wes Welker. At the same time. it's a big hindrance to the Patriots, who love using Gronkowski and Hernandez at the same time to create matchup nightmares for opposing defenses. Hernandez's absence will be even more scrutinized if the Pats have more games that end like the Cardinals debacle.
For more Week 2 NFL action visit this storystream, and for more on the Patriots go visit Pats Pulpit and SB Nation Boston.

Marion County deputies have released a sketch to try and track down the man who knocked on a woman's door and then sexually assaulted her.
It happened at 2:30 p.m. Sept. 27 on Elm Street in Jefferson. The victim, an adult woman, said the man knocked on her door and asked for directions.
Deputies said he then forced his way into the home and sexually assaulted her.
The victim worked with a sketch artist Thursday to create a composite sketch of the suspect.
He is described as a white man, around 30 years old, 5'11" with a medium build. He had dark hair that was short overall, but longer in the back. The man's eyes are green and he appeared unshaven with multiple days beard growth.
The suspect had a tattoo on the inside of his left wrist described as looking like either "HHH" or "III." He also had another tattoo of a devil's head on his right bicep. He was wearing blue and white "boat" shoes, dirty black denim jeans, a dirty white T-shirt with small burn holes, a dark-colored jacket and a dark blue hat.
He also smelled of cigarettes, the victim said.
A car associated with the suspect is a light blue Honda, according to deputies, and possibly an Accord.
Deputies said they believe this was a random act of violence, which is considered extremely rare in sexual assault cases.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Marion County Sheriff's Office Tip Line, 503-540-8079. Refer to Case #13-17928, and you can remain anonymous.

Homily - 2nd Sunday of Advent (Mark 1:1-8)
Part of the Homily series, preached at a Sunday Late Morning Mass service
|Same day:
|« Homily - 1st Sunday of Advent
|Homily - 4th Sunday of Advent »
Mark 1:1-8
1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,
"Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way,
3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness:
'Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight,'"
4 John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." (ESV)

Consider Bardwell's top milker has finally freshened! Dandelion gave birth to two healthy kids, a doe and a buck. These kids sure have a lot to live up to, including Dandelion's sweet disposition.

Our does are expert kid-cleaners. They lick their newborns dry with precision and efficiency – our towels are no match. Sometimes the moms can get tough: they will paw a kid into position or pull at an ear with their mouths. This little guy's mom tugged a little too hard on his umbilical cord, pulling off the protective membrane. He's ok, but we gave him a dressing to keep his exposed umbilicus clean as it heals. Number 99 also happens to be our biggest kid yet: at 13 pounds, he's a giant next to his kid peers.

It's time for the chickens to move – they've fallen in love with our kidding barn. To our annoyance, they're prone to loafing around and nesting in the hay of our kids' pens. So we trucked the biddies down to a lower pasture in our first attempt at chicken diversion. But their new spot was too close to their original haunts – they returned to the kidding barn and were back to their old antics in no time. They even stayed past sundown and we were tasked with nighttime chicken catching to get them back into their coop. Our final solution: driving them to one of our farthest pastures right next to our pigs. Now that's some good chicken trickin'.

Our kid count is up to 87, and more kids means more mammas. It's about time we move back our barrier in the barn to make room for the milkers.
Almost half of our girls have freshened and on Friday we tasted the first milk of the season! Margot predicts the ladies will have a productive year. Our cheese makers are using this first batch of milk to make some delicious Machester.
Of course, more kids means more kid piles. And who doesn't love a good kid pile?

Our pregnant does on a very cold, wintery morning.
Filed under: Farm | Tags: Consider Bardwell Farm, Goats, Interns, Internship, Kidding, triplets
Goats typically have twins; occasionally they only have one kid, and sometimes they have triplets. Last kidding season, Margot and Alex reported only 8 sets of triplets out of their 86 does. Although our number of bred does this year is up to 90, we were still anticipating roughly the same percentage of triplets: that is, only a handful of trios in our estimated 180 kids. But there must be something in the air this season as 6 of our 8 freshened does have birthed triplets. If our does keep it up, we'll have 250 kids on our hands by the end of kidding season!

A couple of posts ago we said that our chickens can be timid and flighty during the daylight hours. It took the warmth of our kidding intern, Noah, to melt the heart of one of our Buff Orpingtons.

Once the kids were comfortable on their wobbly legs, we moved those first doelings up to the kidding barn where they'll be spending the rest of their adolescent days. The next hurdle: learning to feed from their "sucker bucket." Our girls did an awesome job- with just a bit of coaching, they were latched-on to the bucket and gulping away after a mere few seconds.
We're also excited to welcome Syrup's heathy twins (a doe and a buck) into the herd! They were born today around 2:00 PM and will be joining the rest of kids in the kidding barn tonight.

Our first two baby goats were born yesterday morning from Margot, the second goat due. The doeling kids are both very healthy and have been gulping lots of colostrum from their mother. We are anticipating a few more births this afternoon, Syrup is still in the running.

This is Stephanie and Noah taking over the Consider Bardwell Farm blog! We are awaiting our inaugural kid: our first doe is Syrup. She was due on Friday (two days late!). We've been keeping a close eye on her for the past few days, but she hasn't shown all the signs of a ready mama just yet. Coincidentally, we spent much of yesterday afternoon collecting sap from sugar maples around West Pawlet that Crooked Stack Sugarhouse is going to turn into delicious maple syrup.

Tiverton couple make a special day extra special - by tying the knot
3:00pm Saturday 15th December 2012 in Tiverton By Mid Devon Star Reporter
TIVERTON couple Joni Bradburn and Martin Bridgman made sure they would never forget Wednesday's date by tying the knot at precisely 12noon on 12/12/2012.
The date also marked the three-year anniversary of the day they moved in together on 12/12/2009.
More than 150 guests turned out to enjoy their big day at the Best Western Tiverton Hotel.
Joni joked to friends and family about marrying on 12/12/12 after Martin, who works for Clark's shoes, proposed to her in March, 2011.
"It's a special date anyway but now it's one we'll never forget," said Joni, who runs her own cake-making business and helps to run the after-school club at Tidcombe Primary School.
"It was amazing and I like the fact that it's a date everyone we|love will remember|for the rest of their|lives."
Joni and Martin are looking forward to their honeymoon in Woolacombe in May next year.

A tasty and healthy main course.
Servings: 2-4 Servings
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Difficulty: Easy
2 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cup sugar snap peas
1 red Bell Pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 carrot, sliced
3 Bok Choy leaves, roughly chopped
1 lb Medium Shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup Paula Deen Sweet and Mild Sauce
1 1/2 tablespoon Black Sesame Seeds, can substitute toasted sesame seeds
Salt and Pepper to taste
Heat wok or large saute pan until very hot. Add Sesame oil and swirl up the sides of the wok. Toss in peas, pepper and carrots. Cook stirring constantly until just becoming tender about 3 minutes. Add bok choy and shrimp. Keep stirring until shrimp cooks through and becomes pink. Toss in bean sprouts, Paula Deen Sweet and Mild Sauce and sesame seeds. Heat through. Salt and Pepper to taste. Serve over a bowl of steamed rice, cellophane noodles or eat just as it is.
I am loving Paula and her team! I especially love that more healthy recipes have been added and the Dean Brothers lighter addition has been added. This recipe sounds great, except that, as with others, the sauce she mentions is out of stock. Also, I am extremely sensitive to salt and need to know the nutritional value of sauces and add ins. I wish that ... 1) there were nutritional labels included with items at the store, and 2) there were homemade options available for these items especially for those with dietary/monetary restrictions. I do realize she can't give away all her secrets though!! She shares so much already - it's incredibly good of her! Just some thoughts. Thank you.

A few notes heading into the weekend:
- The Mariners have re-signed minor league free agent designated hitter Luis Jimenez, and you can add him to the list of likely 2012 Tacoma Rainiers. We'll go through the potential roster here on the blog in February.
- Larry Stone writes that the Mariners should not sign Manny Ramirez. Larry Stone is wise.
- I find this amazing: Dan Johnson, who has hit two of the biggest home runs in Tampa Bay Rays history – including one on the final day of the season last year – needs a job.
- In the PCL, our division rival Salt Lake is bringing back the same coaching staff they had last year.
- The Colorado Rockies and Colorado Springs Sky Sox extended their player development contract through the 2014 season.
Less than a month until pitchers and catchers report to spring training!

BENTON — A longtime federal judge in southern Illinois says he'll retire from active duties early next year.
Marking his 21st year on the federal bench Thursday, U.S. District Judge J. Phil Gilbert told the Southern Illinoisan that he'll be stepping down next March, when he turns 65.
"It has been an honor and privilege for me to serve the people of the Southern District of Illinois for over 20 years and it is my intention to continue my public service by rendering substantial judicial service as a senior judge," he said in a letter of retirement submitted to President Barack Obama this week.
Gilbert, who serves primarily at the federal courthouse in Benton, has sent a letter to President Barack Obama announcing his intentions, saying he'll continue his public service by taking on the role of senior judge. That status would give him a reduced caseload.
Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois calls Gilbert "one of the most committed, hard-working Illinoisans I know." He thanked Gilbert for his service to the state and the federal judiciary.
Gilbert was appointed to the federal bench by President George H.W. Bush in 1992. A lifelong Carbondale resident, Gilbert served as chief judge of the Southern District of Illinois from October 1993 to September 2000.
Gilbert is a graduate of University of Illinois and Loyola University of Chicago Law School.

Beef about KIDS these days
I promise this will be the last of the Beef Week posts. I so wished I had the time/energy/internet connectivity to blog as it all happened – it was SO action-packed.
There was so much gorgeous bovine viewing it's kinda hard to stop it though… how handsome is this dude?
One thing I DID want to talk about however, was a topic that was brought up somewhere yesterday, about kids these days. You know, how the younger generation don't know how to work hard or apply themselves, or lack self-motivation. I won't link to the spot that debate began, but it prompted me to think about our experiences with teenagers.
And I have to say that, while we have come across some less-than-enthusiastic adolescents over the years, I find myself needing to argue for the negative team. (In debating parlance at least).
We have been so fortunate here to have had two amazing young men, Cal and Lachy (aged 17 and 19) working for our business on-and-off over the past 18 months.
Let me see how my checklist for exemplary 'young person' behaviour goes with this pair?
Willing to work? Check.
Self-motivated? Check.
Polite? Check.
Respectful? Check.*
Awesome/patient with my kids? Check.
Messy as hell? Check. (Just keeping it real here).
Able to leap over fences/wash walls/handle stubborn bovines? Check, check, check.
Own a slightly dodgy haircut to give my father something to rib them about? Check.
Excellent sense of humour? Check.
(Can you see how those two last characteristics might be inter-related? Good. Us too!)
We also had a neighbour's daughter volunteer her services during our very busy week away, an offer which was leapt upon like a **seagull on a lump of fat.
Meg is 15 (I think) and not only beautiful, but as willing and easy to have around as the boys.
She slotted into our little crew like a professional. Asked questions about stuff she didn't know and just winged it where there wasn't time to talk. Exactly the kind of person you need in the hustle and bustle of Centre Ring during Beef Week.
And if you don't think I won't get as MANY tips from the parents of these three young people as humanly possible, then you haven't been visiting me very long!
And I have to add that, for the vast majority of our time at this event, which was heavily populated by young people, I saw much the same thing. Perhaps it had something to do with them all being VERY busy? (And I suspect, pretty well-brought-up).
How has your experience with teenagers been lately?
Am I the only one who has been this lucky?
*At least what I can see on Facebook! Heh heh.
