Softball starts with Spaghetti
The Lake Superior State University Lakers kicked off the 2014 season with their annual 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' spaghetti dinner this weekend. The kids and I had a fun time, and proceeds go to the team to help fund their trip to California on February 27. While out west, the girls start their journey at Vanguard, while also visiting La Sierra, Concordia, Cal State San Marcos, Hope International, and Azusa Pacific. The Lakers are scheduled for their first home stand on March 22 against Ohio Dominican, but I think we'll still have about ten feet of snow on the ground, so we'll see how that goes! I hope they get some home games in this season, though. Due to the numerous softball/baseball clinics the kids have attended, along with other college functions, the kids have gotten to know a few of the players, and always feel good when they say hi. The dinner also gave us a chance to wish them luck on the coming season. You can view the Lakers full schedule HERE.

Softball starts, spring is near…
There's really no sign of spring up here in Michigan's crazy Upper Peninsula. In fact, it seems that there is even more snow, cold, and wind than ever. Things will be heating up for the Lake Superior State Lakers softball team, however, as they start their season today in the Superior Dome over in Marquette. The girls play three game today, taking on Lakeland, Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and Wisconsin-Superior. Good luck to the girls this weekend, and all season long. Their season actually kicked off last weekend, though, with the annual 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' spaghetti dinner. There was fun and games, and the kids were thrilled that they won two of the raffles. They won a movie package that included, movie passes, popcorn and candy, along with different popcorn seasoning. Also includes some free movie rentals. The other raffle we won was a cooler, beach towels, beach toys, water bottles, and sun screen. Uh…we'll have to put that one up on the shelf for a few months, but very thankful that we got lucky. And all the money for the tickets goes to the softball team, so it's a good cause. Brian had a good time showing off his throwing arm and playing with the balloons. Lily and Trevor drew pictures for the girls on the paper table cloths. We had a great time, but we're sick of the snow and ready to burn the snowman, already.
An enjoyable Off-Season
It's always hard to watch baseball come to an end in the fall, but at the same time it makes you appreciate it when it comes back the next spring. As much as we miss baseball during the winter, we don't just sit around and sulk. Winters up here can get dull and depressing, so we really have to keep busy to beat the winter blues and make it through until the baseball fun begins. As usual, we take in a lot of hockey games up here. We live in the original 'Hockeytown U.S.A.', so between our Lake Superior State Lakers, junior and high school hockey, we spend a lot of time at the rink. We also do a fair share of ice skating ourselves, too. The kids are involved in their own activities throughout the school year as well. Lily participated in the youth bowling league, while Trevor played flag-football and wrestling. A special treat this winter, too, was that we were able to catch a Harlem Globetrotters game. I took Trevor and Lily a few years ago, but this was Brian's first time seeing them and he had a great time. We were also able to see the Stanley Cup at a Detroit Red Wings Alumni game which was a thrill for the kids. It wasn't just sports that held our interest, as we saw some rock concerts, too. I took the two older kids up into Canada to see Avril Lavigne (my hearts pants…), and saw legendary rock bands like Slaughter and Stryper come to town. We also spent some time playing outside, and over at the tubing hill blazing down the icy slopes. Do you think that scared Brian at all…No. Anyway, I might not win father of the year..I've been known to give the kids NyQuil out of a shot glass, and help them with their math by teaching them Blackjack, but we do have a lot of fun together. Plus, only a single dad can get away with a full size hockey net in the living room, and foosball table instead of a dinner table!
Winter Fun
Lakers Close Season at Home
The Lady Lakers were able to play through the crazy U.P. weather to close out the season at home. They hosted Northwood Thursday and Friday, and played a make-up game against Saginaw Valley State on Sunday. The Lakers lost 11-9 on Thursday in game one, but the second game was postponed due to sleet. Friday the girls played a triple-header against Northwood, dropping all three games 9-2, 4-0, 9-3. This was the best day weather wise, though, so nice to be able to see a few games in one day. The Lakers last game of the season was Sunday, losing to SVSU by the score of 14-4 in a make-up for a rain out on April 20. Seniors Ronlea Peterson (SS) and Nicole Cartensen (OF) played their last college game for the Lakers, and were honored after Fridays games. These girls work very hard every game, and under first year head coach Lori Shimasaki only good things will come to this program in the coming seasons. The team will be hosting some softball camps next month, and Lily will definatley be attending a few of those. Brian spent most of the game playing in the mud puddles. Such is life with a three year old.

Lakers Sweep Rare Homestand
The Lake Superior State Laker girls softball team was able to beat the nasty weather on Friday and sweep Ohio Dominican. They won the first game 9-8 in extra innings and pounded their oponents 18-8 in game two. The Laker double-headers on Saturday and Sunday were rained and snowed out, so I guess we were lucky to see at least a couple of games. Lily knows many of the girls from their softball camps, so she was able to get plenty of autographs and they took the kids into the dugout. It's also fun to talk with the parents and get their take on things. A lot of positive comments on new head coach Lori Shimasaki and how she's building a solid softball culture at Lake Superior. The team is scheduled to play some more games, so hoping the weather hold up for them.

Slap-Stick Softball
This past weekend was the Lake Superior State Laker softball team's annual 'Take me out to the Ballgame' dinner to raise money for their trip to Florida to kick off the 2011 season. This has become a tradition for us over the last few years, and the kids have a fun time. This years dinner of hot dogs and hamburgers was actually on campus this year, which is a change brought on by new head coach Lori Shimasaki. Door prizes, raffles, and silent auctions also took place to help the team raise money needed for the long trip. Lily's favoite new thing this year was her opportunity to throw a pie in the face of her favorite player. Her aim was true, and the girls got nice and messy. The boys were too busy eating to really notice any of this.
Good luck to the Lakers this season, and we'll try to make it what few home games they have if the weather holds up.

A man who was convicted of stealing luggage belonging to Peter Frampton from the Denver International Airport carousel was sentenced last week.
John Allen Papelbon, 52, pleaded guilty to stealing seven items of luggage (several of which belonged to Frampton) from the carousel.
He was given a sixty-day jail sentence, which the presiding judge suspended in order to allow him to work and pay restitution ($8,884) for stealing the luggage.
Frampton quipped of the incident on Twitter after linking to the story reported in the Denver Post: "What time are visiting hours?"
A police search had found other stolen items in Papelbon's home, including ski wear, computer equipment, golf shoes, a Philadelphia Eagles coat, and name-brand bags from Gucci and Polo.
Frampton will be touring with the Doobie Brothers and on his own this summer.

Like Gyan from Ghana, or Ronaldo, Messi, Neyemar, Suarez, red-headed dude on Belgium, etc. Do you think it is because all our top athletes play other sports? Just wondering.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
As far as riding shorts go, these are some of the best I have found. The padding does what it is supposed to and keeps you comfortable on any distance of ride. They fit really well and I haven't had any issues with them not staying up where they belong.

Business owners in the Bronx held a meeting with government officials Friday to discuss recovery from a fire that tore through their building last weekend.
The fire happened in Mount Hope on Sunday.
Authorities say it started in a shoe store before moving to a 99-cent store and a meat market.
The recovery meeting was organized by City Councilman Fernando Cabrera, who represents the area.
He said he wanted to connected the devastated owners with the city agencies who can deliver relief.
"We were able to demonstrate to them what services our city and state agencies have to offer, from loans to be able to deal with the insurance company," Cabrera said.
"They got some programs, but I think, like they explain, it take a little hours, it take a couple of weeks or even months or maybe more sometimes, some case," said store owner Jose Pascal.
The meeting was attended by representatives from the city's Department of Small Business Services and the state's Department of Financial Services.

TSC Ratings' Updates: AllianceBernstein
The following ratings changes were generated on Tuesday, March 3.
We've downgraded investment management firm AllianceBernstein Holding (AB) from hold to sell, driven by its feeble growth in its earnings per share, weak operating cash flow and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself.
The company has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share of 74.5% in the most recent quarter compared with the year-ago quarter, and we anticipate that its two-year trend of declining EPS should continue in the coming year. Net operating cash flow decreased by 49.4% to $52.5 million compared with the same quarter last year, and return on equity also decreased, a sign of weakness within the company. Net income feel 73.9%, from $92.2 million to $24 million.
Shares tumbled 81.9% over the year, underperforming the S&P 500, but that should not necessarily be interpreted as a negative; it could be one of the factors that may help make the stock attractive down the road. Right now, however, we believe that it is too soon to buy.We've upgraded retail propane distributor AmeriGas Partners (APU) from hold to buy, driven by its compelling growth in net income, notable return on equity, expanding profit margins, growth in earnings per share and relatively strong performance when compared with the S&P 500 during the past year. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally poor debt management on most measures that we evaluated. Net income increased by 128.3% compared with the same quarter last year, from $54.3 million to $124 million, significantly outperforming the S&P 500 and the gas utilities industry. ROE also greatly increased, a signal of significant strength. AmeriGas has a 38.5% gross profit margin, which we consider to be strong, and its net profit margin of 17% significantly outperformed the industry average. EPS rose significantly compared with the year-ago quarter, and though it has reported volatile earnings lately, we feel the company is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. Revenue fell by 2.8% since the year-ago quarter.

Just finished converting my new Goblin to SS this weekend. Took it out for a spin and loving it. I bought all the parts from Pricepoint at a great price and installation was a snap. Only thing i had to do was shave a touch of length off the hanger bolt so it would not protrude on the other side interfering with the chain tensioner.

I was so pleasantly surprised at the outstandinding quality of these gorgeous drapes. I had no idea that they were double lined ( which is great for privacy and warmth). These drapes keep any chill out that might otherwise eek in through the windows. They are extremely well made; the stitching is perfect, absolutely no hanging threads and they have a wonderful, secure tab at the top should you choose to use hooks and a draw rod. I hung them on a wooden rod with rings from the ceiling and they look absolutely luxurious! The colors are rich and soft simultaneously..warm brown and bronze. The colors are perfect with rich red walls. They are definately priced well for the quality. My bedroom now looks like a 5 star suite you'd find in a Park Ave. Hotel!!
These curtains are so well made! Just beautiful. However, they are not as orange as the photo shows. They are gold and brown striped. I'm not sure that I love the color.
These curtains were very, very well made. I hated too send them back. I only sent them back because the color was not what I expected and not appropriate for the room. They would have blocked light and had the thermal properties I was seeking. They are an excellent value for the cost and I will these curtains as an option in the future.
The color was not a red or even in the red family. Instead it looked more like a chocolate and rust color. Very disappointing. But the curtains are beautiful and nice quality.
I boought several of these pannels for my living room in our new (to us) 1930s house. The darapes compliment the traditional bones of the house and add a layer of lux! I adore them. I wasn't sure about the stripe, I was initially looking for a solid orange, but it adds interest. They are HEAVY drapes, excellent quality! Very happy and I get tons of compliments!
I purchased these drapes for my bedroom. The orange is actually a rich cinnamon. Very striking! One note, these drapes are room darkening, but not "blackout".
These curtains are beautiful, but unfortunately I had to return them because I ordered the wrong length and the color didn't really match the room I wanted to hang them in. Excellent quality for the price!!
The quality of the drape is excellent for the price. The color is best described as shades of rust. I had no problem with the anything about the drapes except I did not end up liking the stripes and sent them back for a solid color.
Gorgeous and elegant do not begin to describe the drapes. The color is rich and is exactly as pictured. They came beautifully packaged and the quality is exceptional. They hang beautifully and look much more expensive then they were. Quite impressed!
Absolutely stunning curtains. I still need to hang them up. The colors adds warmth to the room.

Hackensack is a city in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, and serves as its county seat.[21][22] It was officially named New Barbadoes Township until 1921, though it was informally known as Hackensack. As of the 2010 United States Census, the city's population was 43,010,[10][11][12] reflecting an increase of 333 (+0.8%) from the 42,677 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 5,628 (+15.2%) from the 37,049 counted in the 1990 Census.[23]
An inner suburb of New York City, Hackensack is located approximately 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Midtown Manhattan and about 7 miles (11 km) from the George Washington Bridge.[24] From a number of locations one can see the New York City skyline.[24]
The Metropolitan Campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University borders the Hackensack River in both Hackensack and Teaneck. Hackensack is also the home of the New Jersey Naval Museum and the World War II submarine USS Ling. Astronaut Walter Schirra is perhaps Hackensack's most famous native son.
The city is known for a great diversity of neighborhoods and land uses existing in very close proximity to each other. Within its borders are a massive medical center, a trendy high-rise district about a mile long, classic suburban neighborhoods of single-family houses, stately older homes on acre-plus lots, older two-family neighborhoods, large garden apartment complexes, industrial areas, the Bergen County Jail, a tidal river, Hackensack River County Park, Borg's Woods Nature Preserve, various city parks, large office buildings, a major college campus, a small-city downtown district with a Courthouse, and various small neighborhood business districts.[25] Areas considered suburban single-family residential neighborhoods account for about 1/3 of the city, mostly along the western side.
Hackensack is located at 40°53′22″N 74°02′45″W / 40.889398°N 74.045698°W (40.889398,-74.045698). According to the United States Census Bureau, the city had a total area of 4.346 square miles (11.256 km2), of which 4.180 square miles (10.826 km2) is land and 0.166 square miles (0.430 km2, 3.82%) is water.[3][2]
The city is bordered by Paramus, River Edge, Teaneck, Bogota, Ridgefield Park, Little Ferry, South Hackensack, Hasbrouck Heights, Lodi, and Maywood.
There are many houses of historic value, and some of these were identified in the 1990 Master Plan. The city does not have any registered historic districts, or any restrictions on preserving the historic facade in any portions of the city.

Hackensack operates under the 1923 Municipal Manager Law form of New Jersey municipal government. The City Council consists of five members who are elected to four-year terms on a concurrent basis in a non-partisan election held every four years in May.[8] This form of government separates policy making (the work of the mayor and city council) from the execution of policy (the work of the city manager). This maintains professional management and a City-wide perspective through: nonpartisan election, at-large representation, concentration of executive responsibility in the hands of a professional manager accountable to the Mayor and Council, concentration of policy making power in one body: a five-person Mayor and Council. In the several decades in which the City has used the Municipal Manager form of government, Hackensack has had only nine City Managers.
As of 2014[update], the mayor of the City of Hackensack is John P. Labrosse, Jr., whose term of office as mayor ends June 30, 2017, along with all other councilmembers.[4][42] Other members of the Hackensack City Council are Deputy Mayor Kathleen Canestrino, Leonardo 'Leo' Battaglia, Rose Greenman and David Sims.[42][43] John Labrosse, who served as councilman since 2009, and the entire council were elected in May 2013 under the "Citizens for Change" party, which replaced the mayor and three council members who had been supported by the Zisa family. The mayor and deputy mayor will serve four-year terms. In the previous council, mayors and deputy mayors served one-year rotating terms.[42]
In a move to eliminate past Zisa family political influence, the 2013 city council did not reappoint Joseph Zisa, the city attorney; Richard Salkin, the municipal prosecutor; and Scirocco Insurance Group, the city's insurance broker where former city mayor Jack Zisa is an insurance agent.[42]
City Council candidate Joseph DeFalco, principal of Hackensack High School, died of a heart attack the day of the municipal election in 2005, but was elected despite his death.[44] His running mates agreed to create a rotation under which each of the four surviving members of the New Visions for Hackensack slate would serve for a year as Mayor, creating a series of firsts for the City. Townes took office in 2005 as the city's first black mayor, and Sasso became the first female mayor in 2006. Meneses became Hackensack's first Hispanic mayor when he was sworn in on July 1, 2007, and Melfi took the reins as mayor in 2008.[45] Four of the same five officials were re-elected in 2009 (Townes, Melfi, Sasso, Meneses), along with one opposition candidate, LaBrosse. The city council continued to rotate the mayor's seat, with the exception of Labrosse, and Melfi became mayor again in 2012.
Frank Zisa served as mayor from 1977 to 1981, Fred Cerbo from 1981 to 1989, and John F. "Jack" Zisa (son of Frank Zisa) from 1989 to 2005.
Former Assemblyman Charles "Ken" Zisa served as chief of the Hackensack Police Department from his 1995 appointment to replace John Aletta until May 2010 when he was suspended without pay on charges of official misconduct and insurance fraud. Tomas Padilla was appointed the acting police chief while the police department was being monitored by the Bergen County Prosecutors office. In May 2012, a judge ordered Zisa out of his position as police chief, a decision that cost him his police retirement benefits.[46][47][48] In January 2013, Mike Mordaga was appointed the new civilian police director, which replaced the previous position of police chief.[49]

Oratam, sachem of the Lenni Lenape, deeded the land along mid-Hackensack River to the Dutch in 1665. The area was soon taken by the English in 1667, but kept its Dutch name. Philip Cartaret, governor of what became the proprietary colony of East Jersey granted land to Captain John Berry in the area of Achter Kol[121] and soon after took up residence and called it "New Barbadoes," after having resided on the island of Barbadoes. In 1669, a deed was confirmed for the 2,260 acres (9.1 km2) tract that had been given earlier by Oratem to Sarah Kiersted in gratitude for her work as emissary and interpreter.[122][123] Other grants were given at the English Neighborhood.[124][125][126]
In 1675, the East Jersey Legislature established the administrative districts: (Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, and Monmouth). In 1683, Bergen (along with the three other counties) was officially recognized as an independent county by the Provincial Assembly.[127] The seal of Bergen County bearing this date includes an image of an agreement between the settlers and the natives.
New Barbadoes Township, together with Acquackanonk Township, were formed by Royal Charter on October 31, 1693.[38][128]
In 1700, the village of Hackensack was little more than the area around Main Street from the Courthouse to around Anderson Street. New Barbadoes Township included what is now Maywood, Rochelle Park, Paramus and River Edge, along with those portions of Oradell that are west of the Hackensack River. These areas were all very sparsely populated and consisted of farm fields, woods and swamplands. The few roads that existed then included the streets now known as Kinderkamack Road, Paramus Road/Passaic Street and Essex Street. The southernmost portions of what is now Hackensack were not part of New Barbadoes Township at that time.[citation needed]
The neighborhood that came to be known as the village of Hackensack (today the area encompassing Bergen County's municipal buildings in Hackensack) was a part of Essex County until 1710, when Bergen County, by royal decree of Queen Anne of Great Britain, was enlarged and the Township of New Barbadoes was removed from Essex County and added to Bergen County.[129]
In 1710, the village of Hackensack in the newly formed Township of New Barbadoes was designated as being more centrally located and more easily reached by the majority of the Bergen County's inhabitants, and hence was chosen as the county seat of Bergen County, as it remains today. The earliest records of the Bergen County Board of Chosen Freeholders date back to 1715, at which time agreement was made to build a courthouse and jail complex, which was completed in 1716.[130]
During the American Revolutionary War, George Washington headquartered in the village of Hackensack in November 1776 during the retreat from Fort Lee via New Bridge Landing and camped on 'The Green' across from the First Dutch Reformed Church on November 20, 1776. A raid by British forces against Hackensack on March 23, 1780, resulted in the destruction by fire of the original courthouse structure.[131]
The Hackensack Improvement Commission was incorporated by an Act of the state legislature approved on April 1, 1868, within New Barbadoes township and including the village of Hackensack, with authority to develop sewers and other improvements in Hackensack.[132]
The New Jersey Legislature passed the Township School Act in 1894, under which each village, borough, town, or city in New Jersey was delegated responsibility for its own public schools through the office of the county superintendent. Hackensack established a local board of education in 1894, as required by the new law, which took over operation of schools located in the township and established Hackensack High School.[133] The 1894 act allowed local residents, by petition, to change municipal boundaries at will, setting off fearsome political battles statewide.
Portions of the township had been taken to form Harrington Township (June 22, 1775), Lodi Township (March 1, 1826), Midland Township (March 7, 1871) and Little Ferry (September 20, 1894).[38] After these departures, secessions, and de-annexations, all that was left of New Barbadoes Township was the village of Hackensack and its surrounding neighborhoods of Fairmount, Red Hill and Cherry Hill. In 1896, New Barbadoes acquired a portion of Lodi Township covering an area south of Essex Street from the bend of Essex Street to the Maywood border. That same year the Hackensack Improvement commission was abolished and the City of Hackensack and New Barbadoes Township became coterminous.[134][135]
The final parcel lost by New Barbadoes Township was the northeastern corner of what is now Little Ferry, which was incorporated in September 1894.[136]
An act of the State Legislature incorporated the Fairmount section of New Barbadoes with the Hackensack Improvement Commission, and eliminated New Barbadoes Township as a political entity. On November 21, 1921, based on the results of a referendum held on November 8, 1921, New Barbadoes Township received its charter to incorporate as a city and officially took on its name "Hackensack," a name derived from its original inhabitants, the Lenni Lenape, who named it "Ackingsah-sack".[38]
In 1933, Hackensack adopted the Manager form of government under the terms of the 1923 Municipal Manager Law, with five Council persons all elected at-large and a mayor selected by the council from among its members.[137]
The city historian is Albert Dib. Walking tours are conducted of historic markers in downtown Hackensack, in and around The Green and lower Main Street, and a virtual historic walking tour is available as far north as the Pascack Valley Line crossing at Main Street.[138][139]
The First Dutch Reformed Church ("Church on The Green") was built in 1696. In 1696 Major Berry donated land for the First Dutch Reformed Church,[140] erected in that same year, which still stands in Hackensack today as the oldest church in Bergen County and the second oldest church in New Jersey. The following is list of notable people buried in the Church's adjoining cemetery:
Bergen County's largest newspaper, The Record, a publication of the North Jersey Media Group had called Hackensack its home until moving to Woodland Park. Its 19.7-acre (8.0 ha) campus is largely abandoned and has been sold to be redeveloped for a mixed-use commercial project that would include 500 residential apartments and a hotel, in associated with the river walkway project.[145]
The New Jersey Naval Museum is home to the World War II submarine USS Ling, a Balao class submarine, and several smaller water vessels and artifacts. The museum is open select weekdays for group tours.[146]
The Shops at Riverside (formerly known as Riverside Square Mall), is an upscale shopping center located at the intersection of Route 4 and Hackensack Avenue at the northern edge of the city along the Hackensack River near its border with River Edge to the north and with Teaneck across the river. The mall, which has undergone a significant expansion, is anchored by a number of high-end department stores and restaurants, including Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Tiffany & Co., Pottery Barn and Barnes & Noble, offering a Gross Leasable Area of 674,416 square feet (62,655.3 m2).[147] The mall is known for its marble floors, and attracts a great many upper income shoppers from Manhattan and Northern Bergen County.
Hackensack's Main Street is devoted to shopping and most of its iconic landmarks, including the United Jersey Bank headquarters building and the former Woolworth site that is now a housewares store. The only remaining major store on Hackensack's Main Street is Sears Roebuck and Co. The historic Sears building is located on the corner of Main and Anderson Street and is still in operation today. The site is close to the Anderson Street train station, and has been open since the 1930s.
Bergen County Jail is a detention center for both sentenced and unsentenced prisoners. It is located on South River Street. The County is in the process of moving the County Police from the northern end of the city to a new site across from the Jail. The former site will be redeveloped as a "transit village" complex associated with the New Bridge Landing rail station in adjoining River Edge.[148]
The city's Johnson Public Library at 274 Main Street is a member of the Bergen County Cooperative Library System. The library opened in 1901 using a gift from State Senator William M. Johnson.[149]
Ice House is a complex with four full-sized skating rink that opened in 1996, which is home to the New Jersey Avalanche mainstreamed and special needs hockey teams and several high school hockey teams, in addition to being the home rink of gold medalists Sarah Hughes, Elena Bereznaia and Anton Sikharulidze.[150]
Other points of interest within the city include the Hackensack University Medical Center, Hackensack River County Park, Bowler City Bowling Lanes, Borg's Woods Nature Preserve and the Bergen County Court House, and the Bergen Museum of Art & Science.
Radio station WNYM at 970 AM, is licensed to Hackensack and has its transmitter in the city. The station is currently owned by Salem Communications with a Conservative Talk format.[151] During the 1970s, it played a Top 40 music radio format for several years, competing (unsuccessfully) with Top 40 powerhouse 77 WABC (AM).
Hackensack has been mentioned in the lyrics of songs by several musical artists, many of whom have lived in New Jersey or New York City. The town was home to the original Van Gelder recording studio at 25 Prospect Avenue[152] where the jazz musicians Sonny Rollins and Thelonious Monk recorded some of their landmark work. Monk recorded a tribute to Rudy Van Gelder entitled "Hackensack". Other notable examples of Hackensack in songs include:
Hackensack also appears in movies, books and television.

She is covering the fact that she was never asked to sign on to Weight Watchers. This way it looks like she made the call not to sign. I find it so hard to believe that she would turn down a multimillion dollar contract., Wont ever happen!!!!!!! She would have jumped at the chance to follow Jessica Simpson and collect bank!

Nation marks 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor
In wheelchairs and on walkers, the old veterans came Wednesday to remember the day 70 years ago when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. But FDR's "date that will live in infamy" is becoming a more distant memory.
Associated Press
Survivors remainingThe number of Pearl Harbor survivors is rapidly dwindling. Twenty years ago, there were more than 13,000 members of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, an organization of veterans who were at Pearl Harbor on the day of the attack. Today there are less than 3,000, said Mal Middlesworth, editor of the organization's newsletter, the Pearl Harbor Gram.
In wheelchairs and on walkers, the old veterans came Wednesday to remember the day 70 years ago when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. But FDR's "date that will live in infamy" is becoming a more distant memory.
Fewer and fewer veterans who experienced the attack on Dec. 7, 1941, are alive to mark the anniversaries and most of them are in their 90s, many prevented by health problems from traveling to Hawaii. One survivors' group said it would disband because age and infirmity made it too difficult to carry on.
"People had other things that they wanted to do with the remainder of their lives," Pearl Harbor Survivors Association president William Muehleib said. "It was time."
The 2,390 Americans who died in the attacks are not forgotten. Besides Pearl Harbor, there are remembrances elsewhere
In Phoenix, the goal every year is to draw 1,177 people - the number who died on the USS Arizona - to march through the city, but organizers don't come close to that anymore.
Just 45 people showed up last year. On Wednesday, about 300 people gathered for a mile-long remembrance walk, carrying miniature U.S. flags and tags bearing the names of Pearl Harbor casualties.
"As time goes by, it might actually fade. This may be the last significant anniversary when we could thank a survivor. Get out there. Get your chance to thank them," event chairman Ben Ernyei said.
Those who made it to Pearl Harbor were treated to a hero's reception. The 5,000 spectators whistled, shouted and applauded loudly as the 120 or so survivors stood to be recognized, and others asked for autographs and took photos with them.
Muehleib said local chapters of his group will function as long as they have members and survivors can gather socially, but they will no longer have a formal, national organization. He also predicted survivors would attend future commemorations at Pearl Harbor.
The association - founded in 1958 - has 2,700 members, he said. There are an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 Pearl Harbor survivors.
President Barack Obama hailed the veterans in a statement proclaiming Wednesday as "National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day."
"Their tenacity helped define the Greatest Generation and their valor fortified all who served during World War II," he said. "As a nation, we look to December 7, 1941, to draw strength from the example set by these patriots and to honor all who have sacrificed for our freedoms."
Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, witnessed the attacks as a young man in Honolulu and fought in World War II, losing his right arm in combat and earning the Medal of Honor.
"As we continue to lose members of the Greatest Generation, those who witnessed the attack, lived through the war and saw the world change, we must remember the events of December 7," he said in a speech on the Senate floor.
The nation has debated how to mark anniversaries and memorials before as events fade into history. New York City's mayor this year suggested it might be time to stop reading the names of nearly 3,000 Sept. 11 victims every year once that 10th anniversary passed.
Mal Middlesworth, a Marine who was on the USS San Francisco during the attack, said the survivors association formed to make sure younger generations heard about what they went through.
"They wanted young America to understand that freedom isn't free. Never has been and looks like it's never going to be," he said in the keynote address. "Remember, he who forgets history will live it again."
Carissa Westfall traveled to Hawaii to mark the anniversary as part of a college program that paired students and veterans traveling to important battle sites. The veteran she was with, Guy Piper, was brushing his teeth on Ford Island when he saw bombs falling from Japanese planes.
"Honestly, before this trip I never realized. I didn't know - I didn't think that there were guys my age and younger watching their friends die right next to them," said Westfall, a sophomore at the College of the Ozarks in Missouri.
Also this week, ash-scattering and interment ceremonies are being held for five survivors whose cremated remains are returning to Pearl Harbor after their deaths.
On Tuesday, an urn containing the ashes of Lee Soucy was placed on his battleship, the USS Utah. The ashes of Vernon Olsen, who was on the Arizona, were to be placed on his ship later Wednesday.
The U.S. lost 12 vessels that day, but the Arizona and the Utah are the only ones still sitting in the harbor.
The ashes of three other survivors will be scattered in the water in separate ceremonies this week.
USS Utah survivor Gilbert Meyer said he comes back each year to see his shipmates entombed in the battleship that rests not far from where it sank off Ford Island.
Meyer, 88, recalled his ship rolling over after being hit by a torpedo and seeing Japanese planes dropping bombs. When the planes began showering his ship with machine-gun fire, he knew it was time to move.
"That really got my attention, so I got in the water and swam ashore," he said.
In Phoenix, Kristy Henderson of Glendale, Ariz., whose two grandfathers served in World War II, did the walk with her mother and two children, ages 2 and 1.
She said the youngest are the most likely to forget Pearl Harbor.
"As time goes on," Henderson said, "I don't think it's brought up as much."

A Novel in Words and Pictures
From Library Staff
Having lost his mother and his hearing in a short time, twelve-year-old Ben leaves his Minnesota home in 1977 to seek the father he never knew in New York City, and meets there Rose, who is also longing for something missing from her life. Ben's story is told in words; Rose's in pictures.
(Gr 4-8) "Selznick offers another visual narrative, one that feels even better suited to his inventive style. The beautifully crafted structure includes two stories set 50 years apart. The first, set in 1977, is told in text and follows Ben, who is grieving the loss of his mother when he st... Read More »

Brian Selznick strikes again! Wonderstruck has left me wonderstruck as well. There is beautiful imagery combined with writing. Two stories, two different ways of story-telling and one incredible bond!!!!
I couldn't put the book down! I finished it in a day!
The wolves will not stop chasing Ben through his dreams. They are wild and persistent, leaving paw prints in the snow next to Gunflint Lake, Minnesota: The boy's home. Jump back fifty years. Rose lives just outside of New York City, where the bright lights and tall towers tempt her to visit--much against her parents' wishes. Though separated by time, Ben and Rose are both looking for a place where they can belong. Read more at: http://www.librarypoint.org/wonderstruck_selznick
I loved this book and so did my 7 year old. We especially loved the details in the illustrations after Ben meets Rose.
:( not very good compared to Hugo
This book is a story of two deaf children taking place in different time periods. The first is about a boy who lost his mother, and is trying to find out who his father is. The second is about a girl whose mother is a movie star that doesn't care about her, and never sees her. She is trying to see her mother again. This book may seem big, but it is mostly pictures. I highly reccomend it.
I love this novel ! So exciting to read ! I have been mindblown and Wonderstruck. I like the plot very much and I rate it a 5 out of 5.
it is so amazing it has a girl and a boy and it's really cool its like a mystery with the two of them. For e.g. the girl writes something on the peace of paper and when the boy reades it, it does not look the same like it does not have the same words IN IT THERE in different time.
This book was so so amazing. I loved the story and the illustrations- so unique and gorgeous. I just loved it. It was so interesting and different- I've never read a book like it.
It WAS a tiny bit predictable, but that's okay...
Fantastic book - couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.

SummaryAdd a Summary
One story told through pictures and the other through words. Selznick weaves the stories of Rose and Ben together beautifully. Ben, who is deaf in one ear, loses his mother and has to live with his aunt and uncle. Rose is also deaf and dreams of becoming an actress. Ben and Rose leave their homes in hope of finding what is missing in their lives.
Ben and Rose are two very different children who have two things in common - they are both deaf and they both live with people who don't seem to understand them. Thought his might not seem to be much, these things are going to set them both on amazing adventures that will, in the end, leave them both - Wonderstruck.
Written with the same combination of engaging writing and beautifully rendered pencil drawings that captivated readers in The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Wonderstruck takes you on a spectacular adventure that will leave you wanting more!
Ben: Gunflint Lake, Minnesota, June 1977. Rose: Hoboken, New Jersey, October 1927. Ben's Story – written: Newly orphaned when his mother dies, Ben comes to believe that he has a father, hitherto unknown, living in New York City. When an accident involving a telephone and a bolt of lightning renders him deaf, he sets out for the big city in search of clues to who his father really is. Rose's Story – seen almost solely in pictures: A seeming prisoner in her own home, Rose too sets out for New York City to see the actress Lillian Mayhew for reasons of her own. The two children both end up in The American Museum of Natural History and both discover something there that will help to give them what they need to solve their own problems. And in that discovery, they will find one another.

Paris-based Geraldine Gonzales [17] creates floating medusa jellyfish [18] lamps that softly glow to create an otherworldly atmosphere.
From furniture to textiles [19], from jewelry to home ware, this year's Maison&Objet was an inspiring collection of stuff all-under-one-roof and waiting to be discovered.

Content and Code was born from the ashes of the dot com crash in 2001, originally working with various technologies and development platforms.
In 2002 the company advanced into different markets with more specialised needs, utilising the newly released Microsoft business applications SharePoint and Content Management Server. Content and Code's client base expanded to include a wide range of sectors as SharePoint and other Microsoft technologies grew in popularity. Microsoft SharePoint offered Content and Code an opportunity to focus on a single technology platform, which included a wide-ranging product set that would service most of our customers.
In 2003 Content and Code obtained Microsoft Certified Partnership status.
In 2008 the company changed its working methodology from the traditional 'waterfall' approach to an agile working methodology called Scrum. This change helped the company shift to a more consistent and team-based project delivery approach, to rapidly produce solutions that met clients' goals.
Today, we don't just implement technology, we help to transform businesses. We seek to understand your vision, goals and strategy to create customised solutions.
Our solutions – built on Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Office 365 and other key Microsoft platforms - enable organisations to increase revenues, reduce costs, mitigate risk, work more efficiently and create a competitive advantage.
We transform business with advanced collaboration and communication solutions building SharePoint Intranets, SharePoint Extranets, SharePoint Websites, Office 365, Lync Online, Exchange Online and SharePoint Online.
In recognition of what we have achieved for our clients, we have won a number of awards. See all our awards

Very nice! I added an extra tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and about a quarter tablespoon of fresh ginger. I can almost feel it kicking my cold in the butt!
