Sharon, is this the recipe you use for your raviol's? Or do you use it for all your pasta? I have a manual pasta maker that I used a few times and now it is taking up space under a cabinet. If I made ravioli, perhaps we would like that. Did you use your pumpkin filling this time?
Karen, so sorry for the Hanson family. Will keep the family & friends in my prayers.
I used my crockpot more when I worked but still pull it out occasionally. Sharon, since you have dinner at noon you would have to cook the meal on the high setting. Defeats the purpose of slow cooked meal.
Didn't have a "submit reply" at the bottom so copied post, deleted and pasted in this one. Problem, everything didn't copy. Temp 48 degrees, should be a nice walk!
Good morning ladies,
Thanks so much for your prayers. Mrs. Hanson is in shock. She can't believe it happened. DS is very subdue and visited with Mrs. Henson and her family. I bet they talk about LaTonya during the party because they all knew her.
I will be busy and so will DS helping me with his party foods and cleaning. This will help him take his mind off of LaTonya.
DIva D the accident happened in Marion by the Dykersburg turn off. It was on channel 3 news for the past few days. I hate mammos. Do you get the results the same time or have to wait for days?
Dee sorry G is sick again. I hope he gets well soon.
Diva N your nose is longer for telling lies. I will be having lunch with Diva D again in Jan. Hope Paul's check up is a good one.
Sharon I see you enjoy cooking. I bet you are a good cook.
Carol are you adjusting to the jet lag. Did you see Ben and Sian? I bet they are in hog heaven enjoying the goodies.
Marlene you are having very mild temp at night. At least you have warm temp during the day.
Virginia enjoy your walk with milder temp.
CJ you eat what you enjoy for TG even if it is seafood. My sis says it is not TG unless she has a turkey.
Well off to cook and clean,
Karen, I did see it in this morning's paper but I didn't know where that intersection is. Did she have her seat belt on? So sad - accidents can happen too fast.
Nat, I assume you do have a pasta maker. Note how much everyone uses theirs and how important they are for a good cook.
How is G feeling today, Dee? That poor tyke is sick too much.
Laureen, how are you feeling? Does the meditating help? If I stopped long enough to do that I would be snoring.
Any other cats you can find, Carol? I'd start with a kitten so it will be closer to you.
Karen--I'm sure that your DS birthday will not be the same considering the lost of such a good friend, but hopefully, gathering to celebrate his birthday will be therapeutic for all of them.
Nat--my mode of operation is to freeze food and then forget or not get around to using it. Then when nice and freezer burned, I have to toss it. I'm trying to break out of this very wasteful and guilt producing action. I do have some tortilla (chicken) soup frozen,----maybe I check to see if it's still good. Can't stand the taste of freezer burn.
Nothing like fresh pasta. I tried to make it once a long time ago with a hand thingy but it was not successful. I want to go to Sharon's house for a pasta dish. I'm being good about gluten most of the time, but will occasionally spurge. Did share a plate of some kind of pumpkin ravioli with a friend at Gusto restaurant a few weeks ago. It was fresh and very good.
So many fancy restaurants are being opened all around my area. The small stores and strip malls are being closed, and big fancy multi-use, multi-storied developments are going in. Stores at the bottom and expensive condos or apartments at the top. I preferred Austin when it was smaller. Don't even want to go anywhere due to the horrific traffic issues.
Karen--Mild? hummm and I thought it was darn cold. funny what we get use to.
Dee--hope your gs get better soon, poor kid.
Well, I'm off and going to trying walking again today.
G is on the mend, only a low grade temp today. I think he really could have gone to school but still had a good fever last night, and you must be free of fever for 24hours to return to school. I am taking him to WW for a brief outing to get rid of his cabin fever. He can visit with all my friends that he thinks are his friends too! Dee
Sorry to hear about your DS' friend, Karen. What a tragedy. Hope his birthday will help take his mind off it.
Nat, I definitely think you need a pasta maker. I would get one for sure if I could eat wheat.
Dee, hope G gets better soon. I remember when my DS was little, he was sick quite often. I think he had tonsillitis 3 times in one winter. One more episode and the dr was going to remove them. Luckily he didn't get it again.
Have you all heard of Toronto mayor Ford's shenanigans? The late night comedians are having a field day with him, what with his "drunken stupors", crack smoking, hookers in the mayor's office, etc. It is getting quite funny, every morning I turn on the news to hear what he did or said next. The city council is trying to get rid of him. They stripped him of some powers today, and Monday they will make a motion to take all the rest of his mayoral powers away. He will not go quietly!
I can't believe that Nat doesn't have the pasta maker - I thought everyone did. How does she think we make our spaghetti, lasagna, ravioli, etc??? I helped you out, Nat, and checked on your getting one. QVC has three types and Amazon has over 20. Take your choice. You can also buy a drying rack at the same time. And, if you go to Amazon, you can buy some licorice.
Always glad to help you out. Doris
Doris, I assume, that you know what assume means....shesshh....
Joanie, I am shocked and appalled that such a nice person like you, with a nice voice like ;yours, would stoop to Doris' lever. triple shesshh...
And as for you Doris, we had a pasta maker, used it once a week in NY , till it broke down, and we had to throw it away, and did not get a new one...so there... quad shesshhhhhh...
and double ps, had some delicious chicken soup made from a crockpot....twaz delicious....
Evening. Nat I don't got no pasta maker and will not be getting one! Had a friend once who made pasta from scratch. We made ravioli and cut each one out manually. Didn't use any pasta maker either! Was good but too much work for me. I bet the soup was delicious. I think the trouble with a slow cooker is just remembering to use it cause we usually have them put away somewhere out of site out of mind.
Karen thoughts and prayers continue for the family and friends. I can not even fathom the shock the mother is feeling. My heart just bleeds for her. I hope that the party will help the kids and give them the support they need. Will the funeral be over by then?
Dee hope G is feeling better now. Don't want him infecting the other kids either. Did he enjoy "his friends" at WW?
Joanie haven't heard about Toronto but will be looking it up. I don't get people anymore. Sounds like all the Detroit "stuff".
Marlene we do the same thing. But stuff up and then don't use it. In fact I've been wanting to go through the freezer. May do it this weekend since DH will be busy.
Doris I like the meditation but haven't done it the past couple of nights cause of trying to get the evals done. I too almost fall asleep. But it gets better the more you do it so I hear. Of course doing it right before bedtime doesn't help. Maybe if I did it in the morning it would be better. I needed it at work today!!! But didn't think about it at the time.
Nat how did the check up go? Hopefully okay! Are you still going to the gym?
I'm thinking Rags floated up the river. Maryann should be home pretty soon I think. Can't wait to hear about the trip.
Suppose to be nice this week and warm up a little, though on Sunday when it's warmest there's suppose to be rain too. Will try to enjoy it while I've got it.
Well gotta go. Had a bad day at work today to the point I lost it. But will be okay after a good night's sleep I'm sure.
Hope you all have a great day. Will be back late.
Joanie - I've been reading and seeing that mayor in Toronto. He is really a case! For some reason I was surprised that it was in Canada because I don't picture you people having characters like that. The difference between him & Detroit or Chicago (both of which I have lived in) is that Toronto has one man who has lost his self control while the other cities are pure mob/gang related cases of graft, corruption, politics, and anything else that could go wrong.
Quiet night tonight - should have gone to the funeral home for the visitation of the father of somebody I know but I just didn't want to drive up the highway at night. Feeling guilty but not too much.
Good morning,
Joanie we are hearing about the Toronto mayor. I think the news folks (here) want to show it is not only Berlusconi that is deranged.
Virginia, I make the ingredients and put them in the slow cooker around 5pm and it is finished by lunch time. Yum.
Karen, it is hard when you lose friends when they are young. During my time in school I lost 2, one in a car crash and the other just as I was turning 13, she got the mumps which no one knew about, it was a mild case, but then was bitten by a moisquito and got encephilits and died. That was hard, we had been friends since we were 5.
Doris, they have a thing here called something like preloved kittens and cats. There have been some available but I want to be my perky self again before I get 1 or 2. Plus I have to buy litter trays.
Marlene isn't there gf pasta?
Dee, good news about G, the poor little mite.
Yup Joanie, the mayor was just on tv being a smart ass.
Laureen, you don't need a pasta maker. Just roll out the pasta with a rolling pin to the thickness you want and cut.
We are supposed to get snow this coming week so will stock up on some things so I won't have to go out and pray that there will be buses.
see, Carola has a "crocketh potheth"
Laureen, my soup was so good...... we are having it for dinner tonight, nice pieces of chicken in it.... checkup went fine, my cholester. went down by 20, I am no better, and no worse, so that is good. but they did have stooped scales in his office....
cold, but sunny day, lake is starting to form ice on top, doesn't completely freeze till end of Dec, if it doesn't get warm....neighbors 8 houses down saw a big bear in their garbage bin.
Keetya says good morning to everyone.....
I'd beel safer if Keetya's claw wasn't out and she wasn't licking her lips. Who did she attack??
Good morning, I just climber out of bed. Rainy day....Allen is glued to football on tv....I don't know what we will cook.
Trying to get all the appts we need made for the rest of the month and Dec..I need to get my teeth checked but dread it like the plague.It will be New Years before you know it.
I don't have a pasta machine either - my dad made all his own pasta and my mother made ravioli. I had some declicous mushroom ravioli in Reno.
Best get going on breakfast or brunch.....xxoo
So glad you can conquer this board, CJ and get on! Some days are nice just to slumber away.
Karen, if I had had the mammeo done in C'dale I would have heard while I was there. Since I went to the Herrin branch, I had to wait but the results were mailed the same day. all was well.
Walked for 1.5 miles today and it was really peaceful. The park is officially closed but there is a sign that walkers can park nearby and go around the gate. So, most of the time I was the only one there. Took a path through the woods and tripped and went down. Not hurt but made me realize that I really do need my phone with me. The dog ran up to me and just looked as if to say - what's your problem.
Made a big batch of applesauce this morning. That is so easy and so good. I'm debating between making chicken noodle soup or broccoli-cheese soup for dinner tonight. If I debate long enough I won't do either!!
Have a good day, everyone. Where are the rest of you???
Great picture, Nat! Doris, she was stretching, not attacking!
Am I the only one here today? Just want to give you an update on my soup and no, I did not use the crock pot. I am just finishing some Chicken & Dumpling Soup. First time I have made it this way but it was simple. You pull the tab off the top of a can of Progresso Soup, heat in the micro, and eat. Tasted pretty durn good to me.
I am exhausted - first I had the 1-1/2 mile walk this morning and then I got a call from the library asking if I could come over = well, they were cleaning up the storage room and the storage shed which were a disaster and boy did we pitch. Sure wish the trash men could come before others see it. Carried so much stuff from one to the other and more out to the trash that my legs are really pooped tonight. I'm getting too old for this stuff!
Hi, I've lurked some today Doris but am just "taking it easy". We did go out for breakfast and then to Sam's club. Then I washed clothes and straightened up around the house. Also watched the movie Bewitched on On Demand. Just trying to settle myself down. Talked with DS today and he sounds better. Now having constipation issues from the pain meds. Still having some pain when ever he's up but nothing when he lays down. I anticipate he isn't walking enough to help get rid of the air they blew his stomach up with. He sees the surgeon on Thurs. The GI doc on Friday and back to work the following Monday.
Tomorrow DH has a bocci tournament so he'll be gone in the AM so hopefully I'll get some more stuff done around the house and maybe finish the 2 evals I have left to do. They are going to eat the brunch they offer everyone for a discount so I'll go up for lunch with him after the games. Otherwise I only want to clean up the porch a bit also.
Good morning to Keeyta too. Such a pretty girl she is. Fion has been a pretty good boy today wanting lots of loving and wanting to play with his paper clips.
So Karen how did the party go? It was today wasn't it?
I agree with Joanie on the stretching. I was reading something on the internet that cats use the stretching post to get their claws into it to do a complete stretch! Thought it was interesting. It does also leave their scent too.
Well didn't drink my water today and haven't done the meditation in 2 or 3 days. Should go do it now since DH is already asleep. LOL!
Will be back in the morning. Hope everyone has a good nights sleep.
Thanks for the start up in the morning Carol!

Piggly Wiggly Carolina Co., Charleston, S.C., has agreed to sell stores to Bi-Lo and Harris Teeter.
Jacksonville, Fla.-based Bi-Lo Holdings LLC plans to buy 16 stores in South Carolina and six in Georgia, according to a news release. The deal is expected to close in October.
"The departure of employees and stores from the Piggly Wiggly team will be acutely felt, but we know that Bi-Lo Holdings will benefit from these outstanding folks," said David Schools, president and chief executive officer of Piggly Wiggly Carolina Co., in a news release. "We are glad that employees will have the opportunity to work for Bi-Lo holdings and guests will continue to be served by the familiar people who have been the backbone of these stores for years."
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2013, and stores will be re-branded under the Bi-Lo banner. Terms were not disclosed.
Matthews, N.C.-based Harris Teeter Supermarkets Inc.'s agreement includes six locations and one future location in the Charleston, S.C. area, according to a Harris Teeter news release.
The company plans to close locations for three to four days for stocking and employee training, according to the release.
"Piggly wiggly has a long tradition of operating customer-friendly stores in Charleston," said Thomas Dickson Harris Teeter, chairman of the board and chief executive officer, in a news release.
"These store locations and the dedicated associates who work in them make this an especially attractive transaction for Harris Teeter," he said.
The company plans to remodel and expand some locations under the Harris Teeter banner, Dickson said in the release.

Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is PWS Lovelyrachel!
Facts about PWS Lovelyrachel
- Breed: Greyhound
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
PWS Lovelyrachel's Info...
I am purebred and up to date with shots.
Other Pets at Greyhound Pets of America
Why Adoption is a Great Option
PWS Lovelyrachel, a Longwood Greyhound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Greyhound for sale in Longwood, or seeking a Greyhound dog from a breeder in Longwood.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Longwood already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Longwood breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Greyhound breeders who help with Greyhound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Longwood paves the way for another one to be saved.

Commissioners began meeting at the Bolivar County Courthouse in Cleveland on Wednesday to validate the results with the addition of nearly 800 provisional ballot and nearly 750 absentee ballots that were not available for tally on Tuesday night.
"Last Tuesday's county election numbers have been certified," said Kelly. "We began the certification process on Wednesday afternoon and wrapped it up on Saturday."
With the addition of these paper ballots, Democratic incumbent presidential candidate Barack Obama extended his win in Bolivar County receiving 10,582, or 68.54 percent of the vote over Republican candidate Mitt Romney, who received 4,701, or 30.45 percent.
Also receiving votes in the presidential election in Bolivar County were Virgil Goode (49), Gary Johnson (54), Jill Stein (23), Barbara Dale Washer (19), and 12 write in votes.
During certification, Democratic candidate Albert N. Gore Jr. extended his county lead to 8,277, or 60.45 percent, over incumbent Republican candidate Roger Wicker, who received 4,939, or 36.07 percent of the votes in the U.S. Senate race.
Others receiving county votes in this race were Thomas Cramer (272), Shawn O'Hara (200), and four write in votes.
After certification it was confirmed that incumbent Democratic candidate Bennie Thompson dominated the county race for the U.S. Second Congressional District Representative seat.
Thompson's final tally of 10,584, or 70.69 percent, gave him the overwhelming victory in Bolivar County over republican candidate Bill Marcy, who received 4,173, or 27.87 percent of the vote.
Others receiving county votes in this race were: C. Mondale Williams (152), Lajena Williams (57), and six write in votes.
After counting the provisional ballots, incumbent W.L. "Bill" Waller Jr. leapfrogged Earle S. Banks in route to winning the Supreme Court District One race, Position One. Waller received 6,420, 53.54 percent of the vote compared to Banks' 5,557, or 46.34 percent. There were also 14 write-in-votes tallied in the race.
In the race for Position Two of District Two for the Court of Appeals, Ceola James defeated Ermea "EJ" Russell by a vote of 6,700, or 68.09 percent, to 3,116, or 31.67 percent. There were also 24 write in votes counted.
In the race for Shaw school board trustee, sub-district five, the votes were split and a run-off election will be needed to determine the winner. Carolyn Williams tallied 161 votes, or 37.79 percent, over George Ballard, 133, or 31.22 percent, and incumbent Leon McNeal, 132, or 30.99 percent.

There are many factors to consider when you take steps to sell your home. Even if you are handing over technical responsibilities to a realtor or real estate agent, you still have some work to do in order to sell your home quickly and successfully. While you know you need to get the interior of your home in good condition, you also need to make sure the exterior property attracts the best potential buyers for your home. These are the Best 5 Landscaping ideas to help you make your property more attractive in order to get the best offer for your home.
Bluestone Patios
Simple additions to your home such as bluestone patios can make your home more visually appealing and draw potential homeowners looking for a pleasant space to relax outside more interested in the property. Bluestone has a cool and cozy look that fits with a variety of decorating styles. Many people can install their own bluestone patios, but others have to hire a professional, which makes it more of an investment. This, along with other factors such as zip code, affects the cost of installing bluestone patios, which usually runs between $16 to $20 per square foot including the costs of professional labor.
Cobblestone Walkways
Cobblestone walkways are another way to improve the property and draw potential buyers. Cobblestone adds an old-fashioned charm to your landscaping. It also comes in different colors, so you can use bolder reds or more muted earth tones like brown and gray. The size of the stones can also vary depending upon preference. Like bluestone, many people can install it themselves to save costs on the entire project. With professional labor, the cost of installing cobblestone walkways can cost between $10 for basic work to $18 for the best materials and installation per square foot.
If you need another way to improve the look of your property, install a fence. Fencing not only adds some aesthetic value to your home, but it also provides the home with a bit more security, especially wrought iron fencing. However, wooden picket fences add an idyllic charm to the home while vinyl offers a fencing material that is easy to maintain and remains durable for years. The cost of fencing will vary depending upon what type of material you use and whether or not you use professional labor. Fencing usually the costs fall between $16 and $24 per linear foot.
Flowers, shrubs, etc.
Adding flowers, shrubbery or other vegetation to your property is one of the easiest ways to make it more attractive. Simple and well-known flowers such as tulips, roses, daisies and sunflowers are readily available from nurseries. When you plant shrubs in your yard, you can
also opt to have them sculpted and not simply trimmed. You may also decide to plant fruit trees or make sure you have shade trees over the patio during the summer. You can make these changes yourself or you can hire a professional landscaper to help you choose the right plants.
Outdoor Lighting
There are many ways outdoor lighting can help you get the best offer on your home. Lighting can be used during special occasions and enhance landscaping as well. Furthermore, outdoor lighting adds safety and security to your home. You can install lights on walkways to guide yourself and visitors to the door at night. You can also use an automatic light to power up when someone approaches the home. The cost of installing lighting around your home can depend upon factors like size and the types of lights used, but the costs usually fall between $140 and $250.
This goes without saying, having the right tools can make all the difference in your home improvement projects. You might want to invest in the best cordless drill on the market so that it last you through out the projects that might come up. Some other essentials needed are: Power saw, level, chaulk-line, measuring tape, wrenches, shovels, hedge trimmers, etc.

Post subject: Bicycles
I've decided I would really like to purchase a bike for mountain biking/trail riding and also I want a bike that would be comfortable enough to just ride around town. However, I know nothing of bikes. Anyone here outdoorsy and such and have recommendations on a brand or anything such as that?
I can't remember....oh *le sigh*

Well, if you're wanting to go mountain biking, just buy a mountain bike--they're good for regular riding around, too. I guess it just depends on personal preference as far as brand or style goes, really.

It depends on how much mountain biking/off road cycling you are planing on doing. A Mountain bike is much harder to cycle then a racer on a tarmac road but a mountain bike is much better for off road, gravel or dirt roads (dry or wet) as well as snowy conditions. I personally use a hybrid since I expect wet weather most of the time while travelling on poorly maintained city/town roads.
It really is a question of when you plan to cycle and how much you plan on cycling. If you only cycle on sunny days at weekend during the summer the answer is different then if you plan to use it all the time.
If the cycling is purely recreational then get a mountain bike. As for brand ask you local bike shop. In fact ask more then one local bike shop and tell them you are asking around. Better deals are found that way and you get good info from the pro's.

Most mountain bikes are comfortable enough to ride around town. They're not optimal but they're comfortable enough.
Just.... Don't go to Halfords or somewhere like that =p they're a rip-off.
If you're planning to get a lot of use out of it Claud Buttler are a good brand. I have one from them.
Don't buy a bike without trying it though.

I'm more a fan of Raleigh myself, but do try some out, it's a very subjective matter. If any friends have bikes you could maybe ask to borrow them for a test drive.

Mountain bikes are generally comfier and have giant shock absorbers so you don't feel bumps on the road. On the regular road, they tend to be much slower than road bikes - but you can cross grass with ease. Their tires are generally fatter. Great for college campuses.
Road bikes (I find) are rather uncomfortable, unless you buy nice padded seats, etc. They go really fast, but you also feel every bump on the road. The tires are typically very thin, and they shouldn't really ever go across grass. I'd prefer to use one of these when biking to work.

My father and I used to be pretty into biking, and were big fans of the brand 'Trek'. We had both street bikes and mountain bikes, and everything said thus far is correct. Let me add that street bikes really
go off the road without tipping over. Narrow tires and top heavy, tall bikes tend to be a disaster on rough terrain. My father even earned a long scar across his forearm after launching end over front when the grooves in the pavement shifted.
We prefer mountain bikes for that reason. They
slower, but the weather in WV is such that you do need the added traction. You may be okay with a street bike in the southwest, but a hybrid would do pretty well overall. For anything off the road, especially in sandy/arid terrain, you're going to want a mountain bike I would think.
Alternatively, you could get a hybrid bike and an extra set of wheels. Then you could have a set of street tires, and a set of all terrain tires. Switch the wheels depending on the daily tasks?

Two-time Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year Renae Sinkler returns to the Bluejay dugout for her second season as an assistant coach after serving as a volunteer assistant coach for a year. The 2010 NFCA All-America first baseman works with hitters and infielders.
In her first season as an assistant coach, Sinkler was a part of the 2013 MVC Coaching Staff of the Year, leading Creighton to an MVC regular season title. She helped the Bluejays claim their MVC regular season title since her playing days in 2009.
The Bluejays surprised some in the MVC by winning the regular-season title in 2013 after being picked fourth in the preseason poll. Despite earning a No. 1 seed, Creighton fell 1-0 to UNI in the MVC tournament semifinals after a game-opening leadoff home run that proved to be the difference. Senior Amy Baker's record-setting year and Becca Changstrom's strong showing in the circle led the Jays to a 29-18 overall record and 15-7 conference mark.
Baker ended her prolific four-year Bluejay career as the Creighton and MVC career leader in home runs (58) as well as RBI (167). She started every game over her final three seasons, playing primarily at catcher and first base. Baker reached base in 37 consecutive games in 2013, the most by any Jay since 1999. Changstrom attained MVC Pitcher of the Year honors after claiming the pitching triple crown with 13 wins, 133 strikeouts and a 1.34 ERA in conference play. She also claimed All-MVC First Team, MVC All-Tournament Team and NFCA All-Midwest Region Second Team honors after posting a 22-9 overall record, a career-high 254 strikeouts and 1.70 ERA on the year. Sophomore Liz Dike and juniors Blair Lowe and Ellen Homan each earned All-MVC selections for the Jays.
Her work paid off in 2012 as a potent Bluejay offense scored at least 10 runs in a game 11 times and scored a school record of 294 runs last season. CU led the MVC with a .292 batting average, 56 homers, 275 RBI and a .464 slugging percentage. The Jays ended the year ranked in the NCAA top-30 in scoring (No. 20), home runs per game (No. 22) and slugging percentage (No. 27).
Sinkler won a title in each of her four seasons with the Bluejays, as CU won three straight regular-season titles from 2007 to 2009 and a Valley tournament championship in 2010. She also helped lead the Jays to three NCAA Regional appearances in her career.
The Lincoln, Neb., native put together the greatest offensive season in school history as a senior in 2010, setting single-season school records for runs (59), RBI (58), total bases (147), slugging percentage (.880), on-base percentage (.514) and hit an MVC-record 24 home runs. She ranked fourth in the NCAA in home runs per game and sixth in slugging percentage, earning NFCA Third-Team All-America honors as a senior.
Sinkler crushed a school and MVC record 50 home runs in her career and owns school records with 146 career RBI and 391 career total bases. A member of three Bluejay NCAA Tournament teams, she earned MVC First Team honors three times, NFCA All-Region honors twice and is one of four players in league history to repeat as MVC Player of the Year.
Along the way Sinkler earned USA Softball's National Player of the Week recognition on April 14, 2008 as a sophomore after hitting .700 and driving in nine runs during a week that included Creighton's 13-1 defeat of Nebraska in her hometown. Sinkler graduated from Creighton in 2011 with a degree in graphic design.Position: | Assistant Coach |

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's defence chief has said his military will not be
fully ready to defend Iraq from external threats until 2020 to 2024,
according to a U.S. inspector's report released Sunday.
Lieutenant General Babakir Zebari has repeatedly warned that Iraq's
security forces, rebuilt after the 2003 invasion that ousted strongman
Saddam Hussein, would not be ready for years.
U.S. President Barack Obama announced on October 21 that American troops
would fully withdraw from Iraq by year-end, as scheduled under a 2008
security pact between the two countries.
Both Iraqi and U.S. military leaders have said the army and police are
capable of containing internal threats from Sunni insurgents and Shi'ite
militias that launch scores of attacks monthly, but that they lag in
external defence.
"General Zebari suggested that the MOD (Ministry of Defence) will be
unable to execute the full spectrum of external-defence missions until
sometime between 2020 and 2024, citing ... funding shortfalls as the main
reason for the delay," said the report from the U.S. Special Inspector
General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR).
Zebari said the air force would not be able to defend Iraqi airspace until
2020 and is not capable of supporting ground combat operations, citing a
long-delayed deal to buy F-16 warplanes from the United States, the SIGIR
report said.
"An army without an air force is exposed," the report quoted Zebari as
Iraq delayed its purchase of F-16s earlier this year to divert money to
social programs.
Officials said in late September that Iraq had signed a deal to buy 18 of
the combat jets. The first delivery is not expected for several years.
Washington has around 39,000 troops still in Iraq, down from a peak of
about 170,000 during the war. Violence has dropped sharply from the
sectarian bloodbath of 2006-07 when tens of thousands died.
As it tries to reintegrate itself into the region after years as a pariah,
Iraq is warily eying neighbours such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and
Iraqi leaders have accused neighbours of meddling, and U.S. military
officials say Iran arms Shi'ite militias in Iraq.
"While we have no enemies, we also have no real friends," the SIGIR report
quoted Zebari as saying of the Iraqi government's relations with its

Vending Machines in Taxis and Fitting Rooms on the Web Win NYC Next Idea Contest
Two crazy, brand new startups each won $17,500 and six months of free office space at the NYC Next Idea competition held yesterday at Columbia University.
Both businesses have big ideas to disrupt already established markets, but in very different ways. TaxiTreats, a New York City two-man four person startup with 18 followers and zero activity on Twitter, wants to put vending machines in taxis.
Stylsize, based out of Queen's College in Kingston Ontario, uses augmented reality to better guess out of how clothes will fit when shopping online. A quick Google search with any combination of "Stylsize," "fashion," "Kingston, Ontario" and "Queen's College" yields not even a whisper, not even a landing page. Apparently when cofounder Dan McCann told Betabeat Stylsize was operating in secret, he really meant it. Read More

20 years later, remembering East German film and football
Supporters of 1. FC Union Berlin sang anti-socialist songs and absorbed state antagonism within Stadion an der alten Försterei (Stadium near the old forester's house), chronicled in the 1989 GDR documentary Und Freitags in die "Grüne Hölle" (And Fridays in the "Green Hell").
Twenty years from the fall of the Berlin Wall, the sixth edition of the 11mm Fußballfilmfestival gives a football-related spin to Ostalgie—that nostalgic attraction to the former East Germany experienced most acutely among those who never lived there.
Fourteen of the 35 festival selections take the German Democratic Republic as theme. For those whose cinematic vision of the GDR encompasses no more than Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others) or Good Bye Lenin!, they likely will be surprised by the content: titillation in the musical comedy Nicht schummeln, Liebling (Don't Cheat, My Love) and meditation on artistic integrity in Der nackte Mann auf dem Sportplatz (The Naked Man on the Sporting Field). In addition, the festival, running Apr 3–6 at the Babylon cinema in Berlin, shows that East Germany boasted quality teams in its Oberliga.
The festival kicks off the first night, according to one of the organizers, George Springborg (see Mar 26 podcast below), with a mosaic of East German football. (The festival is organized by the nonprofit club for sport and culture Brot und Spiele, or Bread and Games, and is run by volunteers.) "The football history of the former East Germany has become a little bit forgotten," Springborg says.
Therefore, in a journey between 1949 and 1989 viewers will revel in the often overlooked East German triumph at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal—a 3–1 win over Poland to take the gold medal that followed the GDR's only appearance, in 1974, in the World Cup finals. That tournament, hosted in and won by West Germany, resulted in the only official international match between the two sides. Jürgen Sparwasser's solo effort on Jun 22 in Hamburg, with a partial dummy to fool goalkeeper Sepp Maier, lifted the East to a 1–0 victory in the group stages. Culling from archives of East German television—especially clips from Der Augenzeuge (The Eyewitness), a news magazine show that ran between 1946 and 1980—organizers have compiled footage from little-known "ghost games" preceding the 1960 Olympics. These pitted East and West German sides 15 years before the famed World Cup encounter. (See all GDR international results at rsssf.com).
Interview with Springborg on Mar 26. (31:57) Download »
On the club level, three East German teams reached the final of the Cup-Winners' Cup, with 1. FC Magdeburg, in 1974, winning the nation's only European trophy. With the concentration of resources from the mid-1960s on 11 "focus clubs"—the festival screens full European matches featuring three of them, Dynamo Dresden, Carl Zeiss Jena and FC Dynamo Berlin—player transfers to these sides became compulsory. This followed a rebranding of traditional, "bourgeois" teams into company sporting groups. Clubs acquired prefixes such as Chemie (chemical industry), Aufbau (construction), Stahl (steel), Lokomotive (railways), Wismut (ore mining), Empor (meaning "upwards!"), Vorwärts ("forward!") and Rotation (derived from "rotary press").
German historian Uli Hesse-Lichtenberger has described the conflicts between Manfred Ewald, president of the East German Olympic committee, who saw sport primarily as "social and patriotic education," and club directors who had power bases in the trade unions or the GDR's secret police, the Stasi. Football was passionately supported, says Springborg, yet federal authorities prioritized training in Olympic sports. Football, writes Hesse-Lichtenberger, was "torn between different directives, tugged this way and that by conceited party bosses, unloved by men in suits who would have preferred it if youngsters had taken up swimming and weightlifting. No surprise, then, that things got chaotic, scandalous or simply weird."
Some of the weirdness comes through in festival offerings. A contemporary German documentary, Der kleine General—Dynamo Dresdens Meisterjahre unter Walter Fritzsch, 1969–1978 (The Little General—Dynamo Dresden's Championship Years under Walter Fritzsch, 1969–1978), captures Fritzsch's authoritarian style. Hesse-Lichtenberger characterizes him as "a maniacal bureaucrat" who asked his players to write post-match essays in composition notebooks while Fritzsch's wife monitored their intake of cigarettes and booze.
In what might pass for commentary on capitalist mores, an elite striker in Der Mittelstürmer verweigert das Paradies (The Center Forward Denied Paradise) is sold to an eccentric millionaire to form part of a human menagerie. Festival organizers label this 1987 release an East German flirtation with experimental film-making techniques. Other offbeat GDR productions include Nicht schummeln, Liebling, a 1973 musical comedy about women's football. The cover of the festival program offers a screen grab from the film. Women in one-piece, form-hugging tangerine kit frolic in a goal celebration that must realize Sepp Blatter's every dream for the women's game. In Der nackte Mann, a 1974 comedy, bureaucrats commission a sculptor to create a monument for the central sporting plaza. When sculptor Kemmel's work is erected, the Olympian figure that he has selected, a nude runner, provokes uncertainty as footballers and other citizens must try to harmonize this classical expression with socialist reality.
As an example of Stasi meddling in football—Stasi chief Erich Mielke employed "the entire apparatus of state repression" to guarantee success for BFC Dynamo, FourFourTwo reports in Dec 07—the festival presents the 2000 documentary Tod dem Verräter (Death of a Traitor). The director, Heribert Schwan, gained access to Stasi files to trace the security police's monitoring of Lutz Eigendorf, the so-called Beckenbauer of the East who defected to West Germany in 1979 following a friendly between his club, the Stasi-controlled Dynamo Berlin, and 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Schwan discovered that Mielke directed 50 agents to monitor Eigendorf in the West. On 7 Mar 1983, Eigendorf died in a car crash. Pictures of the wreckage show a car nearly sawed in half by the force of impact. In the FourFourTwo article, Richard Pendleton writes:
What made the accident unusual was that Eigendorf had been travelling down a straight section of country road, and seemed to have veered off, into a tree, for no reason at all. Alcohol in Eigendorf's bloodstream suggested that this was an instance of a boozy footballer who'd had too much to drink, but his personal history hinted at a very different explanation.
While no one has been held accountable in Eigendorf's death, Stasi files contain a note instructing agents to "dazzle" Eigendorf, which Schwan interprets as a euphemism for blinding the player with headlights and driving him off the road. Eigendorf was last seen alive and sober.
After the final season of GDR football in 1990–91, the top two Oberliga sides, Hansa Rostock and Dynamo Dresden, joined the Bundesliga. But the drain of players to the wealthier West began in earnest. Passionately supported teams such as Dresden have been sullied by a racist hooligan element. Energie Cottbus, of which Chancellor Angela Merkel is an honorary member, remains the only Eastern team in the Bundesliga, albeit presently in the relegation zone.
Unification in German football has yet to be realized. Writes Hesse-Lichtenberger in the 2002 history Tor!:
Nearly every West German born after 1960 had grown up regarding the GDR as what that country had always wanted to be—a foreign state. Much more foreign, in fact, than France or England or Italy. Soon clubs like Dresden and Rostock would find themselves greeted by chants of "Put the wall back up" when they played in the west. The physical borders between west and east were torn down, but they had been replaced by a psychological one that observers would soon term "the wall in our heads."
If the 2009 Fußballfilmfestival can fulfill festival director Birger Schmidt's ambition to "show that GDR football really existed" (Michael Sontheimer, "Elf Schauspieler müsst ihr sein," Der Spiegel, Apr 3), another wall might start to come down.
Audience awards—the "Goldene 11"—went to Maradona par Kusturica for best documentary and to Cass for best feature. A jury's award for best short film went to Eight (dir. Stephen Daldry) about an eight-year-old boy's love for Liverpool FC (see excerpt).
With deft touch and the ability to nutmeg defenders, tiny Fimpen offers a key to Swedish hopes in the 1974 feature—the best film in six years of the Fußballfilmfestival, according to Springborg and mates.
The 11mm Fußballfilmfestival "Diegos," 2004–09
Given Diego Maradona's popularity as film subject and his charisma on screen, we propose a rebranding of Fußballfilmfestival awards, with statuette in the form of raised fist. Springborg and organizers of the Berlin event indulged our request to name the best films and performances of the festival's six years.
Best feature: In front of the raft of Maradona biopics and documentaries, Springborg and cohorts select the 1974 Swedish children's film Fimpen (dir. Bo Widerberg) as best picture. The movie considers the comic and tragic outcomes when a six-year-old, Johan Bergman, nicknamed Fimpen, is good enough to make the Swedish national team. He helps lead the side to the World Cup finals but, with TV cameras following his every move, is not allowed to be a boy. To add authenticity, Swedish internationals agreed to take part in the production and read Fimpen bedtime stories on away trips. Runners-up in this category are Maradona—La mano de Dios (Maradona—The Hand of God) (see 5 Apr 08) and El camino de San Diego (The Road to San Diego).
Best documentary: Three documentaries have won the festival's audience prize in past years—The Other Final (see 2 Jun 04), Die besten Frauen der Welt (7 Jan 08) and Maradona par Kusturica in 2009—but the Fußballfilmfestival's nod goes to Les yeux dans les bleus (Eyes on Les Bleus) (France 1998, dir. Stéphane Meunier). To Springborg and others, this is the prototypical "insider" film about a club or national side. The model has since been duplicated on numerous occasions.
Best director: Meunier, who issued a sequel following the 2002 World Cup, Les yeux dans les bleus II, wins for the capacity to create a personal relationship with his subjects despite the intervening lens. "Although a camera was running, and we know from the scores of interviews with players that we've seen where you get relatively monosyllabic or very similar responses to all the questions," Les yeux "totally does away with that," says Springborg. "It gives you a view of players and what the pressures are on them." Runner-up is Marco Risi, Italian director of Maradona—La mano de Dios.
Best actor: Denied an Oscar for his work in Rocky and Rambo films, Sylvester Stallone's massive screen presence in Victory (UK, Escape to Victory), directed by John Huston, wins over 11mm Fußballfilmfestival jurors. Despite his relegation to goalkeeper in the World War II prison film (very) loosely based on wartime Dynamo Kyiv's "Death Match" against German occupiers, Stallone's command between the pipes as team captain Robert Hatch is decisive. Honorable mention goes to Marco Leonardi as Maradona in Mano de Dios and to Nonso Anozie, who appears in one of this year's festival selections, Cass. Anozie plays West Ham hooligan cum author Cass Pennant. Pennant is scheduled to appear at the screening, and we cringe at what he might do to Stallone, once pictured in an Everton scarf, when he receives this disappointing news.

I'm right now helping my 2nd grader do her homework for First Reconciliation class and we are talking about how everything we do we are to do to spread God's Love, to choose to be Jesus in the world, to be kind, unselfish, stand up for those bullied or neglected, to somehow let others know that they are loved and there is goodness in the world -- to shine our light. I have 6 children lent to me by God and my most awesome and important duty is to help them find God and and get to heaven. The best way to do that is to be a good example and I strive to live so as to become a saint. I fail daily, but I strive.
No..Just striving to be a good person day in and day out.. I don't think the saints were striving to be saints when they were living either. I would never presume to assume I was destined for sainthood..
Donna -- we are all supposed to strive to be saints -- it means living our faith purposefully -- but very few will be called and able to live as Saints! There is a big difference between saints and Saints!

All things are possible with God (don't remember the verse.) Who knows what the saints were striving for (especially once sainthood became more established in the Church.
Did you ever listen to Mother Angelica? She ended almost every show saying - "We are all called to be saints - don't miss the opportunity!" with her wonderful smile. I think this is the question being asked in this forum. And, from things you have posted - kind acts you have done for your children, etc., I would suspect (that although you might not say it that way) that you are striving to be a saint .
I don't think women here are presuming they will become a saint, just that they are striving toward that by how they live their lives, etc.
Would love to hear if any men here are striving to be saints (or do we need to start another thread for the men)?

I also still don't understand why he is listed as a Yankee on the Update card. I sometimes do not like Topps.

I'm in Utah and I'm just getting into digiscrapping! I'm just north of SLC.
Hey, I'm just north of SLC too! I think this is catching on in Utah!
I'm from Utah and have been digi scrapping for about five years now. I did paper scrapping for a while but find I get more done now that I've gone digital. A couple of years ago I introduced a workmate (who formerly worked in a scrapbook store) to digi scrapping. She loves it, especially since she's become a new mother. So much more convenient and less messy.
From other digi forums I belong to I've found there are actually quite a few of us in Utah. Maybe they just haven't found this site yet. I know I just discovered it.
BTW, I'm in Salt Lake.

Hi everyone,
I'm in Utah. I have been digiscrapping for about 7ish months. I love it! I found out about this forum fromt the Amazing Digiscrapbook Race at NDISB.com, are any of you doing the race?
Well anyways, if you guys are looking for more Utah digiscrappers, there is a forum/website that is pretty much all gals and a couple of guys from Utah! The site is www.digitalscrapbookmemories.com it is run by a lady named April. She is a designer who sells cd's with a ton of stuff on them. She teaches free classes almost every month.. I think at the Larry H Miller thing that was mentioned earlier... Anyways.. she is great, the site is great, and it's mostly Utah people!

My blog
I am in Springville. My daughter in Idaho got me started in digi scrapping last November. It is addicting.
Wow, we're getting quite a group here! I'm just north of SLC too!
I'm new to GDS, but have been digi scrapping for awhile. It's so much more fun than paper. I live in Northern Utah.
Hi there!
This is my first response to ever. But i wanted you all to know that there are many of us down in Southern Utah that have just started digi scrapping. We all work togther had love it. We are spreading the word and everyone we show are pages to falls in love with the whole idea. Don't feel alone goldscraps we are here with you
Let's get this thread moving, there are a few of us. I am loving digi scrap, so much freedom and less mess so I can scrap more often. I am in SLC and I also help put on a fundraising crop every year and this year it is my goal to get more digi scrapers there and be digi friendly. We have only had about 5 at the most.

Adapt and conquer with Oakley Switchlock™ Technology for fast and easy lens changing so you can optimize your vision for the environment. Racing Jacket® takes all the clarity, convenience and comfort of Oakley Jawbone and cranks up style with icons you can change whenever the mood strikes you. And when G-forces strike you, the retaining strap makes sure the frame stays put. Two sets of lenses are included (one for bright light and one for low light), and you'll have High Definition Optics® (HDO®) to go along with the performance comfort and protection of ultra-premium sport eyewear.
This is eyewear that craves the chaos of action sports, especially with protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for high velocity and high mass impact. You can switch to a new lens set quickly, and while the lenses are securely mounted, there are no uneven pressures to distort the optics and mess with your view of the world. All lenses feature HDO® clarity with patented innovations like XYZ Optics® to keep vision sharp, all the way to the periphery. Optical performance exceeds ANSI Z87.1 standards, and with 8.75 base lens curvature, it's a wide-open view with superior side protection. The frame is crafted from a lightweight, stress-resistant material called O Matter® Our Three-Point Fit maximizes comfort while holding the lenses in precise optical alignment, and Unobtainium® components increase grip when you sweat.
You'll want to gear up by adding optional lens sets, and we engineered a full collection for Racing Jacket®. Take advantage of the glare-cutting performance of Oakley HDPolarized lenses. Choose lenses with Iridium® coating for precisely balanced light transmission. Get Oakley Photochromic lenses that adapt to changing light by darkening automatically. You can even get Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses with a wide range of options.
Designed to balance light transmission and reduce glare, this premium lens coating is made with superheated metal oxides. It is available in a spectrum of colors for optimizing vision in virtually any light condition.
Improving safety, comfort and performance, Oakley HDPolarized lenses filter out 99% of reflected glare without the haze and optical distortion that can come with polarized lenses made with conventional manufacturing techniques.
