text: Are polentas grits my entries on polentas are as follow but a friend told me someone came to her house and prepared grits, as her mother but her friend made them yellow and put cheese on top and called them polentas. They were much better than the 'grits' she ate in her youth. Are polentas the same as grits? Polenta, grits? My entries on it are: *polentas*, polenta, couscous proper also called /gachas/. /Polenta/ is a corruption of the Roman predecessor /pulmentum/, a soft and pasty mass of dough made with grain boiled in water or milk to which cheese and honey or other dressing was added. Traditionally these were prepared in a thick creamy porridge with chicken broth and almond milk used exclusively by peasants and poor villagers throughout medieval Europe. There is a recipe for it in Sent Soví calls for flour and water. Oil salt and sugar or honey are optional. Throughout history there have been few variations. In Al Andalus cookery, anise seed could be added. In León, it was made with barley or chestnuts to which cheese and a broth from stew or pork fat could be added. On fish days, eels, crab or other fish used instead of animal products. See /alcuzcus/ and /gachas/. [Anón/Grewe. 1982:CXI:138; and García del Cerro. 1990:17] *alcuzcuz, cuzcuz*, Ar/. al-kuskusu-, kuskus/, Medieval Europe /polentas/, Eng. couscous. The word alcuzcuz could comes from Magheb, derived from the Ar. /al-kuskusu-/; this, in turn comes from the expression /kaskassa/, to grind or pound or from or from /kuskus/, the rattling and rushing sound of couscous grains when rolled in the hand. It is disputed whether it originated between 228 and 149 BC or if it was a Berber invention from the 8th or 9th C following the introduction of durum wheat in North Africa. It did come from Northern Algeria and Morocco to Al-Andalus by the 10th C when durum wheat began to be cultivated. Then durum wheat was necessary to make couscous, which was cultivated in Spain from the 10th C. From the 13th C, couscous was common particularly in Estremadura, Murcia, Mallorca and El Castillejo de los Guajares. The dish consists of granular particles 1-2 mm in diameter of semolina from100% durum wheat that requires slow steaming over hot water. Like rice, it is served under or around a stew. Between the 14th and 15th C. recipes for couscous evolved into what the dish is today. Basically, fatty meat with vinegar was added. As fat was then synonymous with sweet, this was another sweet and sour dish in Arab style. The classical couscous consists of grains, the size of an ant's head, made with flour from durum wheat, barley, acorns, bulgur wheat or bran. Other ingredients include beef, large cow bones, lamb, chickpeas, dried fava beans, onion, eggplant, zucchini, turnips, carrots, finnochino and cabbage with salt, olive oil, water, saffron, turmeric, ginger and parsley. To insure husbands' faithfulness, wives cooked couscous and pieces of meat from lamb's tail in a broth flavored with cumin. Then the couscous was shaped into little balls and popped into the mouth. In Andalusia, the dish was not called couscous until the 13th C. Prior to that is was referred to as harira or gachas (couscous grains), which is confusing as harira today is a soup consisting of finely mashed wheat, well spiced and sometimes served with lentils or another legume. Hen or lamb can be added. It is boiled slowly for a long time. With couscous, gachas and harira, in Spain, became generalized dishes after 12th C. See /polentas/.

Kingdom of Heaven and earth
Post: #1
Kingdom of Heaven and earth
I was interested to read in a couple of recent postings the apparent Monarchist sympathies within the Fellowhip. What 'causes' or political movements do British Orthodox people in general identify themselves with? Is Monarchy one of them? Are there any others? Abba Seraphim appears to associate himself with certain causes and ideals. What are these?
I don't know any Orthodox Christians of any label so am unable to ask them. Do you see the Kingship of God, the Transcendent Father, or the Lordship of Jesus Christ, best 'reflected' or 'demonstrated' in the Monarchic Ideal? "On earth as it is in heaven" springs to mind. Just as Christians want to obey the Holy Spirit as the Inner Ruler Immortal at the centre of the Kingdom of their beings, do they see the need for Kingship and a certain social order in the 'external' world? What is the general view of those guided by the Holy Spirit? Is the Monarchy seen as the living symbol of an unchanging yet ever fresh principle at the heart of national life? The living embodiment of a Spiritual Ideal perhaps?
While obviously politically 'conservative' on ethical issues, I imagine that most Orthodox would vote for the Conservative or United Kingdom Independence Party. Is that fair? Would they ever support the British National Party? With the drawing of all three mainstream parties into the soggy centre of democratic politics, how do Orthodox Christians demonstrate their discipleship in politics, in obedience to the commands of Christ? Or do they not vote at all like certain Protestant fundamentalists and support conscienscious objection and non-involvement with certain aspects of civil life? Do most of them read the Daily Telegraph?
This is an issue of crucial importance to Christian discipleship and is asked in a spirit of genuine enquiry. Tony Benn and Dennis Skinner MP call themselves practising Christians in the realm of politics, though both are ardent Republicans and socialists. Is there a consensus view in the British Orthodox Church? I want to obey the Holy Spirit, and am willing to accept that I have got this issue completely wrong in the past in my own life and am happy to accept the guidance of those for whom putting on the mind of Christ has become a living reality.

text: CVS Caremark Reaches $11 Mln Settlement With US DoJ For Drug Law Violations RELATED NEWS CVS Health Corp. (CVS) Broke Out To A New High After Dividend Boost CVS Health Corp. (CVS) Has Broken Out To A New High After Dividend Increase CVS Health Hikes Dividend By 27%, Sets $10 Bln Share Buyback CVS Health Guides 2015; Ups Dividend 27%; To Buy Back $10 Bln Of Stock CVS Health Analyst Day At 8:00 AM ET Trade CVS now with 4/3/2013 11:58 PM ET The U.S. Department of Justice announced Wednesday that drug store chain CVS Caremark Corp. (CVS: Quote) has agreed to pay a fine of $11 million to settle civil penalty claims involving violations of Controlled Substances Act. This is one of the largest settlements ever paid for record-keeping violations by a retail pharmacy chain related to controlled pharmaceuticals.The settlement was announced by U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma Sanford Coats. CVS acknowledged that its stores must comply with the record-keeping requirements, but did not admit liability."The abuse of prescription drugs is a well-documented epidemic inflicting devastating, long-term, effects on individuals, families, and entire communities. To combat this problem, it is essential that those who dispense controlled substances comply with DEA's record-keeping requirements," Coats said in a statement.The settlement resolves allegations that the company's Oklahoma pharmacies violated the Controlled Substances Act by failing to keep proper records of pharmacy drug sales.The Act calls for pharmacies to document each transaction that involves controlled substances or powerful prescription drugs, along with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration or DEA, registration numbers of the doctors prescribing those drugs.Each DEA registrant, including pharmacies, is required to maintain complete and accurate records of each substance manufactured, received, sold, delivered, dispensed or otherwise disposed of by the registrant for two years.The process ensures that dispensers of prescription drugs remain accountable and these drugs are not illegally diverted to addicts and street dealers. The DoJ noted that abuse of prescription drugs is one of the most critical issues it faces currently.The Woonsocket, Rhode Island-based company was charged of using dummy registration numbers for prescriptions, and filling prescriptions written by doctors whose DEA registrations were no longer valid. These violations occurred between October 2005 to October 2011 at two CVS pharmacies in Oklahoma.The Acting Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Dallas Field Division, Daniel Salter, said, "This settlement reinforces the responsibilities of all pharmacies to prevent the diversion of dangerous drugs. This case highlights DEA's steadfast resolve to combat the growing prescription drug abuse problem in this country by ensuring that all DEA registrants, including nationwide pharmacy chains, are in compliance with the law. This is vital to protect public health and keep our communities safe."CVS closed Wednesday's regular trading session at $54.13, down $1.11 or 2.01% on a volume of 6.75 million shares.

Hawaii Five-O Review: "Kaie'e"at . Comments
I'm torn about this Hawaii Five-O episode.
On one hand, "Kaie'e" was very exciting, surprising me by bringing up potential consequences from the money the Five-O had taken in order to save Chin's life. This required serious suspension of disbelief.
I was nearly able to get into that head space, but once McGarrett started to suspect that the tsunami wasn't real, it made it difficult to do so. The hoax seemed too grand a scheme to be pulled off without more people realizing it was a fake.
The episode was saved by the reveal that the hoax was a setup to steal cash from the H.P.D. evidence locker, as we saw the severe consequences an investigation would bring for the Five-O.No one in the group showed regret for taking that money, but Danno did bring up a valid point that the team had been over-stepping things in order to solve the crimes they had been investigating. And of course there was the big surprise at the end when all the members were willing to face the music about the missing money, only to find out that all the money was accounted for.
My main theory is that the governor is covering for McGarrett and his crew, but I have a second one: It may be possible that Wo Fat had the money returned as well, because villains never need a good reason to mess with heroes.
Elsewhere, I always enjoy seeing Danno's daughter Grace. Her scenes added a light touch to a pretty intense story.
McGarrett's quasi girlfriend helped play a vital role by generously using government equipment to assist in the investigation. I sort of like the character, but it would nice if we could get a little more of her than brief morning-after shots, or scenes where she's blatantly doing something that could get her court marshaled.
Despite the few moments where the slight ridiculousness of the scenario hit me, this was a good episode. I'm looking forward to future developments regarding the reappearing money.
I liked this episode alot.
I'm thinking Wo Fat replaced the money after his "chat" with the guy in the prison. WHY is the question.
I agree I'd like to see more of Catherine and Steve other than just the "morning after" shots. I'd also like to see more of Steve with less clothes on period (but don't tell Ward).
Now Kono is who you'd go to if you wanted to learn to surf, but I thought the part where she grabbed Dano's chin was a bit intimate. Anything going on there?
lol @ Analise...I totally agree....Scott Caan is overplaying DannO a little too much...I'd like these guys to develop a deeper relationship that doesn't just rely on jokes and superfluous crap!
@L S: Do you live in Pittsburgh or New York? It's possible those local markets stuck with post-game reaction to the AFC Championship Game, but all other CBS affiliates aired this special episode last night.
Did I miss something, because for me this episode is on tonight. Yeah talk about spoiler
I agree with you, someone else on that island besides old Mammo must have realized the tsunami wasn't happening. Also agree it's time to give Catherine more to do. She seems intelligent and they seem to be committed for now, so give them some more in-depth scenes. The money mystery is fabulous. I'm as perplexed as SteveO seems to be. Finally, I got to admit, I'm about ready to see SteveO put a sock in DannO's mouth. He's usually funny, but they just overplayed that aspect last night.
I have my suspicions regarding her honor the Governor????? As for the disappearing, reappearing $$$$$$$$$ there is more to this then meets the eye.That is what keeps me going back for more.... AS for that tsunami those people must have been relieved or so that is what i think happened. They never commented about the whole hoax.But being in Hawaii they are probably use to drills and false alarms??????
It is an important question as to who replaced the money. If the governor is telling the truth about it all being there, it would have had to be replaced by someone who 1) knew it was missing $10 million, 2) had access to the locker, 3) had some sort of motivation to conceal the theft, and 4) had access to that (rather sizable) amount of money (or some really good counterfeits). On a side note, it's a "court martial" not "court marshal". :)

Here's how you level up in Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIII won't have a traditional level up system, instead swapping out the familiar EXP of your average RPG with Crystalium. Despite the pompous name (would we expect anything else from a Square Enix game?), the Crystalium system is an interesting new way to progress your characters, totally doing away old concepts.
The new method of character leveling takes some cues from Final Fantasy X, given that you spend Crystal Points, earned after each battle, to unlock skills and abilities on a circular chart. Special abilities like "Fire" spells, and attribute improvements like HP, are all found on this chart, and new paths on the chart open up as skills are unlocked.
So, that's your experience system in Final Fantasy XIII. Now let us all sit back and imagine a world where Square Enix has run out of silly made-up words for its game features.

I had a prominent vein underneath my eye cauterized a couple of years ago as it sometimes looked like I had a bruised eye. Since then the area appears more puffy and there is a hard lump where the vein once was. The lower eyelid is now also slightly lower on this eye than the other. Is there anything I can do about this without resorting to surgery? Thanks.
How to get rid of a lump remaining from a cauterization of a vein?

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – In Downtown Mobile Sunday afternoon, a "Flash MOB" to raise awareness for bike lanes and safer pedestrian walkways will begin at 3:00 p.m..
Jeff DeQuattro, of the Delta Bike Project, said it starts at 505 Saint Louis Street.
"On Sunday afternoon, families and friends in the Mobile community will come together to show their support for inclusion of "smart city infrastructure" in the downtown, midtown area and encourage the transformation of Mobile into a more walkable, bikeable and liveable city," said Dequattro. "Smart city infrastructure minimizes environmental impacts and creates streets that are safe for everyone, regardless of age, ability, or mode of transportation that includes additions like bike lanes, safe pedestrian crossings, wider sidewalks, better nighttime illumination, road diets, and more green tree-filled areas."
The Delta Bike Project organizers said St. Louis Street in Mobile was chosen because the city recently repaved the street and included an experimental bike lane in one section.

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
After being released from Tomoka Prison, Donnie decided to give up hormones. Starting again would be too much emotionally. After the rape, being female made her feel vulnerable. Living as a male, though, was like admitting she was the same species as her attackers. So she exists somewhere in between — in a sort of gender purgatory. "People ask me if I'm a boy or a girl," she says. "And I tell them I'm neither."
During the first days after her release, she quickly realized her family wouldn't return phone calls. "Donnie's mom is very controlled by her husband," Mark explains. "She won't have a relationship with her son until [his stepfather] passes."
Some friends had died of AIDS while she was in prison, and others had labeled her "a murdering fag," Donnie says. Mark had not yet been released. So, alone and broke, she checked into a Christian recovery center in Sanford called Teen Challenge. Soon she landed a job programming computers.
These days, Donnie lives in a two-story khaki-colored house with a red door and a well-groomed front yard in Palm Coast, outside Daytona Beach. She rarely leaves the house and regularly sees a psychologist. The doctor diagnosed her with posttraumatic stress disorder and agoraphobia.
"She's having a hard time trusting people," says neighbor Mary Howard, who alternates between pronouns when describing Donnie. "He comes over and just cries and cries."
Ask Donnie about Mark, and the tears roll. Though he left prison a year and a half ago, the two no longer speak. He fell in love with another man in jail, she says.
Mark is now living in Greenville with his 78-year-old mother. "She's my first priority," he says. "We're trying to avoid drama."
Both Donnie and Mark deny they ever gave a single injection. They claim the silicone was used for Mark's cleaning business, and the notes mentioning body parts referred to foam padding for transgender pageant contestants. Donnie insists Vera was simply seeking advice after leaving a pumping session somewhere else.
Vera Lawrence's family still struggles without her. For years after the crime, her daughter, Tangela Sears, spoke often about her belief that the couple was not punished harshly enough: "This isn't justice. I feel like I've been banged against the wall."
Lately, Donnie can't shake the feeling someone is sneaking up behind her. At restaurants, she catches waitstaff pointing. She tenses up when men touch her. This past January 11, MSNBC aired Lethal Beauty, a series about the crime . When Donnie got home from work, her voicemail was full. Some were from transsexual men who had seen the program. "Who's pumping now?" they wanted to know. "How much is it? Do you still do it?"
Donnie later called one of them back. "No," she answered. "Honey, are you crazy?"

Unemployment Benefits Expire for 1.3 Million Americans
Today is certainly not a good day for the long-term unemployed.
As of today, 1.3 million Americans are impacted as they're cut off from unemployment benefits.
Fox News and the Associated Press report President Obama has reached out to two senators with his support in their proposal to expend the jobless aid for three months.
In a statement, White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest indicated:
"This morning, the President placed separate telephone calls to Senator Jack Reed and Senator Dean Heller to offer his support for their proposal to extend emergency unemployment benefits for three months. The President said his administration would, as it has for several weeks now, push Congress to act promptly and in bipartisan fashion to address this urgent economic priority." Read more

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

NikkiI started
volunteering with Brownies in September and I have been doing it since then. I am also now taking a leadership course to become a qualified leader and have my own Brownie group. I'm so excited to qualify! 23 months ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

volunteering with Brownies in September and I have been doing it since then. I am also now taking a leadership course to become a qualified leader and have my own Brownie group. I'm so excited to qualify! 23 months ago
I received an e-mail from the Brownie leader of my area and she has given me a few options of groups I can work with in my local area. The only problem is that they are all on a Thursday which is the same day as my driving lessons. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to change them though so from September, I will be working with the Brownies every Thursday evening :-) 2 years ago
I just called Girl Guiding UK who told me to log onto their website and register my interest and I will hear from somebody within 21 days. Perfect! That means I will be able to get started in September as soon as the schools start back up. Now I just need to wait until somebody contacts me… 2 years ago

The Big Infrastructure Question Posed by Sandy
October 31, 2012
In light of this week's storm, one big question post-Sandy is what could have been done to prevent the devastating damage to the city of New York, its infrastructure, and its economy? Monday morning quarterbacking, for sure, but it's the question on everyone's mind now. And for obvious reasons, that's tough to answer. After all, what is the proper way to prepare for a once-in-a-century event? (Whether 100-year storms now happen every year is another, but related, discussion.) In comments after the storm, New York Gov.

Dr. Jerome Crayle Says Parent's Role is Important in Dental Care for Children
With oral decay being the number one preventable disease that affects children in the United States, Dr. Jerome Crayle is encouraging parents to take a proactive approach in their child's oral health. In addition to bringing their children to regular cleanings and check-ups, Dr. Crayle believes there are several habits that can be implemented at home to ensure optimal oral health for kids.
"For the first several years of a child's life, the state of their oral health is entirely up to the parents, whether they realize it or not," said Dr. Jerome Crayle. "Most parents don't recognize how hands-on they need to be with their child's oral health at home, even past the point when they think their children are capable of taking care of it on their own."
Optimal dental health involves both incorporating a healthful diet at home, as well as implementing proper brushing and flossing habits. Diets high in sugar and processed food are much more likely to produce decay and cavities in children at a very young age. Dr. Crayle also emphasizes how important it is for parents to ensure that their child's teeth are being cleaned properly each day.
"We tell our parents to not be afraid to be hands-on, and to actually brush their children's teeth for them up to a certain age," said Dr. Crayle. "Many parents just assume that their kids are brushing their teeth correctly or as often as they tell them to, but in reality, they really aren't."
Dr. Crayle often points out to parents that taking just a few minutes each day to assist in their child's oral care can save hundreds, or even thousands of dollars in the long run, in addition to a lot of stress and anxiety on part of the young patient.
Children who visit the dentist every six months can have their teeth effectively cleaned and examined so even in the event of a cavity, it can be detected and corrected in its earliest stages.
In addition to pediatric care, Dr. Crayle and his staff offer a variety of other general and cosmetic dentistry services. Dr. Crayle is highly experienced dental implants dentist in Graham, NC for patients who have experienced permanent tooth loss. He is also a trained TMJ dentist in Graham, NC to help patients who experience jaw or facial pain.
Dr. Crayle is a graduate of the University of Michigan Dental School and has been a practicing professional for 30 years. In addition to receiving his DDS degree, Dr. Crayle has remained highly involved in continuing dental education to ensure that his patients always receive the highest level of care and comfort at his practice. He is known for always incorporating the latest dental technology into patient treatment plans.

Dennis Nickell and his friend, J.T. Rawlings, knew an enormous buck had been seen near the 160-acre farm they hunt in Fleming County, Ky., in 2013. A neighboring landowner had retrieved trail camera photographs of the animal when its impressive rack was still in velvet.
Despite spending many hours in a treestand with his bow in September and early October, the Flemingsburg hunter never glimpsed the buck from the photos. He was beginning to think it had vanished until a state trooper spotted it in a nearby bean field.
That sighting put the spring back into his step.
On opening Saturday of the modern gun season, not by accident the beginning of Dennis' annual vacation, he watched the sunrise from a stand overlooking a bench on a long ridge that runs through the tract he's hunted since 1990. The wind was gusting, and he spent much of that morning holding on for dear life.
He saw about 10 deer that day. Ditto for Sunday and Monday. And he stayed indoors on Tuesday because of a snowstorm.
He saw the trail cam buck on Wednesday, but another deer spooked it before he could acquire it in his scope.
Dennis almost went to a different setup on Thursday, Nov. 14, but his buddy convinced him to return to the same bench stand. Just before 10 a.m., the big buck chased a doe over the crest of the ridge.
It wasn't until they - or maybe it was another doe - made a second pass that Dennis found an opening and fired.
He got his deer, though it cost him every bullet he carried into the woods that day. That's what a double dose of buck fever - the first upon the initial sighting, and the next when the fallen deer came back from the dead - can do to a man.
Dale Weddle measured the deer and interviewed Dennis for the story that'll appear in Rack magazine this fall. The buck's BTR composite score is 203 inches.

Tahanto JV girls turned season around
BOYLSTON After a slow start, the Tahanto Regional High School girls junior varsity soccer team finished strong this season.
With a 1-5 record after six games, the Stags turned things around over the second half of the season, finishing on a high note with a 7-6-2 mark.
"We went on a run," Tahanto JV coach Chuck MacKinnon said. "We went from 1-5 (to begin the season) to 6-1-2 (to end it), and that is a big improvement.
"It was a work in progress, and we stuck with the game plan," he said. "They knew they would get better, so we stayed the course and they proved they were much better than a one-win team."
The squad's captains were sophomores Hannah DeCouteau, Sarah Makuc and Allie Tolles.
DeCouteau was the goalkeeper, who was promoted to the varsity late in the season. She was in goal in the second half of the varsity's Central Mass. tournament game against Valley Tech.
"Hannah did a phenomenal job for us," MacKinnon said. "Technically, she was a very good keeper and very vocal.
"She anchored our defense," he said.
Makuc was the left midfielder.
"Sarah (Makuc) took all our corners and scored three goals on direct corners," MacKinnon said. "She was just awesome out there and was a good ball handler. She served the forwards and led by example."
Tolles played right-side midfielder.
"Every coach would want a captain like Allie (Tolles)," MacKinnon said. "She was a great organizer and motivating leader."
The Stags' sweeper was sophomore Emily Brodsky, while sophomore Coreena Rajotte and eighth-grader Mollie Sullivan played right- and left-wing defender, respectively.
She (Brodsky) played more minutes than anyone on the team," MacKinnon said. "She had good timing, distributed the ball well and sees the whole field.
"She (Rajotte) was much more confident this year," he said. "She was very much improved and a stable, dependable defender.
"Circle that (Sullivan) name," MacKinnon continued. "She is an eighth-grader and has gone from the middle school team to the JVs to some varsity this year.
"She has all the tools to be a great player," he added. "She has a bright future."
The stopper was eighth-grader Alaina Meeks, while eight-grader Rebecca Davis was a midfielder.
"Those two (Meeks and Davis) worked well together," MacKinnon said. "Alaina controlled the pace of the game and helped to counter attack."
"She played great, transitional soccer," he said. "Rebecca was a steady, aggressive midfield player."
Sophomores Mollie Cashin and Carisa Coski, and freshman Emily St. Denis were midfielders.
"Mollie (Cashin) was a very versatile player, who played several positions," MacKinnon said. "She (Coski) is a solid, dependable player.
"Emily (St. Denis) was very aggressive and had speed," he said.
The top scorer on the team was sophomore forward Kasey McKenzie, who scored 13 goals this season. Rachel Stickles, a sophomore, was also a forward.
"Kasey (McKenzie) was a very good player," MacKinnin said. "Rachel (Stickles) had good goal-scoring skills."
Other forwards on the team were sophomore Valerie Staras, and freshmen Katarina Kohberger and Jillian Shenko.
"Those three (Staras, Kohberger, and Shenko) came off the bench with high energy and made things happen when they were out there," MacKinnon said. "They forced the other team to turn the ball over."
Other members of the squad were sophomore Maddison Walsh; freshmen Brianna Krushefsky, Aine Redington and Julia Lacroix; and eighth-grader Jessica Flanders.
The JV Stags defeated Algonquin and Doherty twice and West Boylston, Blackstone-Millville and Murdock once.
According to MacKinnon, the two victories over Algonquin were highlights of the season.
"We were down two goals at halftime in both (Algonquin) games and were playing them away both times," MacKinnon said. "The girls were confident and, in the second half, came back and beat them both times.
"It was also the first year we both beat and tied WB (West Boylston)," he said.
MacKinnon, a veteran coach, knows the value of JV soccer.
"We are a feeder program for the varsity," MacKinnon said. "Our goal is to get them ready for the next level.
"We work on fundamentals, have fun doing so, and help them gain confidence," he said.
