Here is a look at some upcoming concerts.
Gigs include the Boxcars at Down Home Guitars in Frankfort and South Suburban Chorale's concerts in Homewood.
The Boxcars
Critically acclaimed national award-winning bluegrass band the Boxcars will head to Frankfort at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12 for an intimate concert at Down Home Guitars.
The band is hot off the trail of the International Bluegrass Music Association Awards in Nashville, Tenn., where the Boxcars won instrumental group of the year and member Adam Steffey won mandolin player of the year.
Officials said the band continues to take the road by storm, delighting audiences around the world with musicianship and harmony.
Winning emerging artist of the year at the International Bluegrass Music Association Awards in 2011 put the Boxcars on the map collectively.
Member Ron Stewart won banjo player of the year and Steffey won mandolin player of the year at those same 2011 awards.
The Boxcars members are individually accomplished and seasoned veterans to bluegrass, cutting their teeth with the best in the business.
They've done stints with Alison Krauss & Union Station (Steffey and fiddler John Bowman, who won multiple Grammys), J.D. Crowe and The New South (Stewart, Bowman and bassist Harold Nixon), Blue Moon Rising (Nixon and guitarist Keith Garrett), and the Dan Tyminski Band (Steffey and Stewart).
"These guys are some of the best there is and we are honored to have them perform in our shop," Steve Haberichter, of Down Home Guitars, said.
"This is a great opportunity to see such amazing talent up close and personal.
"We only seat about 85 people in our concert space. It's truly a living room setting with no bad seat in the house.
"A band like the Boxcars are definitely used to playing bigger venues, but the artists seem to like it just as much as the audience."
Down Home Guitars is at 11 S. White St. in downtown Frankfort. Tickets are $25 each and can be reserved at (815) 469-6321 or downhomeguitars.com.
South Suburban Chorale
"From Moscow to Montgomery (By Way of Leipzig)" will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 13 at All Nations Community Church, 18620 S. Kedzie Ave., Homewood, and at 4 p.m. Oct. 14, St. Joseph Catholic Church, 17951 Dixie Highway, Homewood.
South Suburban Chorale, a 100-plus community chorus affiliated with South Suburban College, will take a musical journey from the Orthodox cathedrals of Russia to the gospel sanctuaries of Deep South United States, with a stopover in central Europe.
The free concert will feature music of the Russian liturgy by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Sergei Rachmaninoff and others; several choruses from Felix Mendelssohn's "Elijah"; and black spirituals by Moses Hogan and others.
The chorale is under the direction of Albert M. Jackson, with accompaniment by Marilyn Bourgeois.

Trying to improve credit (and needed loan to get a little nicer car). Loan term is 3 years, bad interest rate...just under a year into the loan, want to think about paying it off. If I pay off early will the loan stay on credit report for the full term as opened (and providing good payment benefit) or does it close (stop reporting) when I pay it off?
Trying to weigh the benefit vs cost of interest. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi bcrawfo2, What kind of rate are you paying? Like somewhere around 12 - 15%? Not up to 20%, I hope. Do you have some funds that you can tap into in case of emergency? Lacking such, could you borrow some funds temporarily from your bank/credit union? Are you sure? Even in case of layoff? At what rate? What other destination do you have in mind for the money? Fist thing in my mind when I read your post was ... "Pay off the &$%#)@ loan!". I've been getting an offer about 3 times a year from a (foreign-owned) banking system ... They'll lend me up to $3,500. - maybe more if I call them right away! ...." Yeah, right! At what interest rate? Well, about 30%, regular rate - could be adjusted. A bit. I told them to quit sending them, as I have a fully secured line of credit at my financial institution that would charge me, if I called upon it (and I'm not using it at present) 4.25%, last time I asked, three or four months ago - probably slightly higher now. I was a bit rude to him ... and he chastised me. Imagine - a small loan outfit chastising a member of the public for being somewhat rude when discussing small loans and interest rates!? It's usually the other way around! Hope you're having a reasonably happy week. ole joyful |

If you pay off the loan it should be reported to the credit agencies as paid off. Make sure there's no pre-pay penalty. Don't see any reason not to do it, unless it'll leave you w/o any cash at all. |
The loan is about 17%. The total loan was about $3000, so the interest portion of the payment isn't that high. We (just about to get married) were hoping that the loan would help improve her credit (some mistakes in the past). Trying to figure out if getting the loan and paying it off early is as good as getting the loan and let it go full term (with on-time payments). Paying this off won't be a burden and won't put us at risk for an emergency...it's just not paying the interest vs trying to improve credit. Those are the variables. |
bcrawfo2, If you have some funds on hand for emergencies, I'm inclined to suggest that you pay off te loan - if there are no prepayment penalties. In the light of your impending marriage - do you have all of the financial bases covered, there? Quite often there turn out to be some unexpected expenses in that game. Good wishes to you and your loved one - I hope that you have many happy years together. ole joyful |
Wathx out for 'rule of 78s' loansm (in the accouting world also known as 'sum of the years digits'). These have signifiacnt penalties for paying off early because of the way interest on the remaining balance is computed. If you can invest at a better rate do not pay off the loan. |
- Posted by haus_proud (My Page) on Fri, Jan 16, 09 at 20:27
I think your credit rating is determined by the amount of debt you are carrying versus your earnings, savings, etc. Whoever loans you money makes an assessment of your ability to repay the loan based on these variables. I do not think prepaying a loan will hurt you, and with less debt you may be eligible for a larger loan and/or a better interest rate. |

I have some rose hips in the yard and want to collect them for seed, but I am not sure when they are ripe. How do you tell? How do you collect and prepare for sowing? Thanks,
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Adam, As soon as the hips turn a uniform bright orange, you can collect them. |
Thanks Susan.. I think mine have. I assume you mean from green to orange. I have two roses that have developed hips..a Penelope and a Bonica. The Penelope looks orange, but the Bonica has one green and one red. Do some turn red and not orange? Thanks, |
Hi Adam, Yes, in my experience, different roses turn different shades of orange, from pumpkin orange to almost red. It doesn't hurt to leave them on the bush for a while to make sure they are as ripe as they're going to get. Re Bonica: Those hips do turn a tomato red color. I winter-sowed seeds from a "Bonica" rose 4 years ago and got 6 or 7 plants. I kept the one with the nicest blooms, and it is now a good sized rose bush. (It looks just like "Bonica", except the blooms are hot pink; I call it "Daughter of Bonica".) |
Hi again.. :-) Wow..that sounds great! That is just what I want to do, WS them. I didn't realize I would get crosses that were different from the parent. Will that happen even if there are no other roses near the Bonica? It is my only rose in the backyard and the Penelope is in the front yard alone too. When you wintersowed them, did you start them in January? How large a seedling did you get the first year and how long before it bloomed? How late should I wait to collect it? Thanks very much, I am looking forward to seeing one sprout! Adam |
Hi Adam, Yes, you will definitely get roses that are at least a little different from the parent, even though there are no other roses around. Most hybrid roses have very complex ancestries, and with their offspring, you can never be sure what will bubble up from the genetic soup. I winter-sowed in either January or February. As best as I remember, the seedlings only got maybe 6 inches tall the first year and didn't bloom until the second year. Also, the first blooms were different than the later blooms on the mature bush, (smaller, paler, not as double.) Some of the plants had butt-ugly blooms; crinkled petals, distorted centers, grayish pink color. The one I saved wasn't all that nice when it first bloomed, but it has matured into a really nice rose. Re How late should you wait to collect it: In my climate, I just leave the hips on the bush until I'm ready to sow, but then I don't get any frost. I don't know if you need to collect before you get a freeze or not... Hope that helps; There's nothing like having your very own, absolutely unique rose bush! |
A freeze won't hurt rose hips....but it may dry up the stems and cause them to fall off of the plant.... Just keep an eye on them. There will be quite a few seeds inside each hip. |

So far this year we've clocked over 5000 driving miles – and the year is not close to being over! We try to make the most of a driving vacation. We've spent a lot of time on the road with our toddler, especially this year when she turned two and can no longer be a lap baby for FREE… never thought I would be so sad for her to get older!
So aside from taking breaks every 2 hours and swapping driving almost as frequently, we broke up our drives by finding tourist sights that could be "quick and easy".
On the way to Florida, we stopped and saw the "World's largest Rubiks Cube" in Knoxville, Tennesee. Note that although websites tell you its at the Convention and Exhibition Center, it is actually in the Holiday Inn right across the street.
Although large, the hotel had some construction going on and we had to ask where to find it. Turns out we walked right by it. It took longer to find parking to see this thing than to actually get our toddler from the parking garage to the hotel (while also checking the convention center). It was a decent enough 45 minute break (a little longer than we planned).On the way back from Florida, we stopped at the world's largest peanut monument in Ashburn, Georgia.
It was raining so we couldn't really take pictures other than from the car on the way by it. Still it was something that changed up the monotonous drive!
Sometimes our stops have not always been about seeing the sights either. On a drive to Maine we stopped in upstate New York for food, but did not want the typical grub you get off the highway. I used my UrbanSpoon app and we found Jimmy's Pizza in the middle of nowhere.
Kid approved! For $10 after tax we could not believe we found this hole-in-the-wall-like place with very good pizza. No bathrooms but this was okay at the time since our kid is still in diapers.
Making the most of a driving vacation is really quite easy with the internet and a smart phone. You can research ahead (just google) about different sights in various states and map it out.
The "biggest" items we saw from above I had found from an article I had cut out years ago with odd monuments around the U.S. So if you read something that sounds interesting, add it to your bucket list so you don't forget years later!
- Have fun and don't stress if a stop takes longer than you planned! It's just the way it goes with kids!
- If you are not sure where to start in researching where to stop, go to your local AAA office if in the U.S. and ask for their help. Advice is free!

Buffington competed against Douglas MacArthur Magee and David Shoemake in the general election for the 13th Chancery Court. He was defeated by David Shoemake in the runoff election, receiving only 32% of the vote.[4][5]
- Main article: Mississippi judicial elections, 2010
Judicial reprimand recommended
State judicial watchdog group The Commission on Judicial Performance recommended that Buffington be reprimanded for issuing subpoenas to two Simpson County supervisors in February of 2009. The Commission found that Buffington lacked the authority to compel the supervisors to appear before him for questioning. The commission report read in part: "Judge Buffington admitted that he had failed to comply with the law when issuing the subpoenas, but did not care." When questioned about the recommendation, Buffington said: "It's fair. It's time to conclude this and move on."[6][7]

I don't know about you guys, but to me, the porn version of Scrubs was a huge disappointment. For one, the guy playing Turk actually had hair. How hard can it possibly be to find a bald black pornstar? And second, the janitor was also black and not very tall. Sex scenes where just meh. All in all, I would prefer Backdoor Sluts 9 any day of the week.

But come on man, it's not like porn flicks are lining up to get Oscars or anything for their terrific stories or excellent cast, especially porn parodies. You don't watch porn for the sake of reviewing them, you watch it and fap. But yeah, I understand your situation, being lonely means you just have way too much free time.

Christopher Buice
In the Unitarian Universalist Church we find inspiration from many different sources. The inspiration for today's sermon comes from a joke. You may have heard it:
Q: What's the difference between cats and dogs?
A: Dogs look at people and say, "They feed us. They give us shelter. They take care of our every need. They must be gods." Cats look at people and say, "They feed us. They give us shelter. They take care of our every need. We must be gods."
I'm not sure if this joke gives us any real insight into the way that cats or dogs think. However, the joke does remind me of a comment that Thomas Starr King made about Unitarians and Universalists. Until 1961 Unitarians and Universalists were two different denominations. In that year the American Unitarian Association merged with the Universalist Church of America to form the Unitarian Universalist Association. However, in the 19th century Thomas Starr King was asked to describe the differences between these two denominations. He replied, "Universalists believe that God is too good to damn them to hell forever. Unitarians believe they are too good to be damned." And so we might say that Unitarians are cats and Universalists are dogs.
Of course, every metaphor breaks down under close scrutiny. Our family has four cats. One of the best ways to entertain them is to get one of those laser pointers and shine it around the house. The cats will chase it, jump for it, pounce on it and never understand why they don't seem to be able to catch that sparkling red point of light. I have never seen any Unitarian do this, although Unitarians do show a lively interest in science and technology. Our family has a dog. Like many Universalists, Annie finds inspiration in Nature. She likes to go for long walks in the fields and woods. She thrives on running in the clean open air. However, I have never seen a Universalist sniff some of the things my dog is willing to sniff. So when I say Unitarians are cats and Universalists are dogs I am not trying to gloss over the real differences. I am simply employing an imperfect metaphor.
Many of us who came into the movement after 1961 think of ourselves as Unitarian Universalists. We do not identify with one tradition, but both. I am one such person. However, Unitarians and Universalists did bring two distinct theologies into the movement. In Unitarian churches the emphasis was on the worth and dignity of every person and tolerance for differences. Universalists focused on the text "God is love" and placed emphasis on the ways that human personality blossoms in the larger sustaining love of human community and to the divine. I think there is value in both of these traditions.
My cats seemed to have a strong sense of their own worth and dignity. They are affectionate but often on their own terms, choosing the place and the moment for any contact with the human members of the household. Our cat's attitude toward our dog is one of tolerance. There is a "live and let live" philosophy but no great warmth or demonstrative affection. My cats are independent, self-sufficient. I do not claim to know their religious beliefs but it is possible they are Unitarians.
My dog, on the other hand, is very demonstrative with her affection. She runs to greet me at the door. She wags her tail. She barks. She jumps up and down. Around my dog I get the feeling that the meaning of life is to love and to be loved, to express our feelings. To let others know that we are glad to see them, that we missed them while they were gone, to be an open book. My cats like to curl up in a corner for some silent solitary retreat. My dog wants to be in the thick of things, surrounded by people and love. I do not claim to know my dog's religious beliefs but she might be a Universalist.
In some ways this creative tension between cats and dogs, Unitarians and Universalists is similar to patterns that can be found in other aspects of life. For instance, in Buddhism there is a tension between the Theravada and the Mahayana schools of thought. In the Theravada school, enlightenment is achieved through silent retreat, self-contained meditation. The goal is enlightenment and no one can achieve this goal for you. You must achieve it for yourself. No God or gods can help you do this; you must do it on your own. Radical self-reliance is the path to the goal of individual salvation. Once you reach enlightenment or nirvana you do not return to help others get there. Everyone must get to enlightenment through his or her own efforts.
The Mahayana school of Buddhism places special emphasis on compassion. According to the Mahayanists, compassion is more important than wisdom or enlightenment. Or perhaps it is better to say that compassion is the necessary fruit of enlightenment and without it enlightenment has little value. Here, the goal is also to reach enlightenment or nirvana. However, once you achieve it, the idea is to return from that state into the real world in order to guide others to the place you have discovered. The person who returns to serve others is revered as a bodhisattva, or what folks in the West might call a saint.
Huston Smith describes the differences between these two schools of thought by quoting poetry. The Mahayana school of thought can be summarized in the words, "He findeth not who seeks his own. She findeth not who seeks her own. The soul is lost that's saved alone." The Theravada school can be summarized in the words, "No one saves us but ourselves, No one can and no one may; We ourselves must tread the path: Buddhas only show the way."
My cats belong to the Theravada school. My dog belongs to the Mahayana school. Of course, this tension between self-reliance and compassion for others is found in many other aspects of life. In some ways the Theravada school is the Republican Party of Buddhism; the focus is on self-help, working for personal advancement, not looking for hand-outs but opportunities to move up in the world. The Mahayana school might be called the Democratic Party of Buddhism. The ideal is, once you have made it in the world, to help others move on up in the world as well. Personal salvation is not enough. You've got to help others make it also.
You can get a lot of mileage out of the philosophy, "God helps those who help themselves." But Hurricane Katrina reminds us that all our efforts can be blown away in a single moment. When the hurricane hits, the flood waters rise, the levees burst and we are stranded on top of a roof we might come to the conclusion that "God helps those who are helped by one another."
Of course, another thing is also true. I am teaching a class called "From Aging to Saging." In one session, we discussed people's fears about aging. One theme in those conversations was the fear of the loss of affirmation. There is the fear of losing the affirmations that go along with the roles of career and vocation. And so there are times when we need to affirm ourselves. There are occasions when we must practice self-respect. We need to recite the chant that Jesse Jackson leads with inner city children: "I am somebody. Respect me. I am a child of God."
For many, there is a strict dichotomy between these ways of looking at the world. It is self-reliance vs. compassion. It is either/or instead of both/and. There is something to be said for self-reliance and individual autonomy. As the Sufi mystics teach, we all need times alone, "for only when a glass of water is taken out of a raging ocean can it be still." And we all need those moments of stillness and solitude. However, we also need to love and be loved, to express ourselves, to be demonstrative about how we feel. These are human needs and perhaps deeper than human. Perhaps cats, dogs and all creatures of the earth and sky feel these needs too.
The Unitarians and the Universalists merged in 1961, a combination of two different kinds of creatures. Occasionally, if you go to denominational gatherings, you will still find someone who laments the merger; someone who deeply regrets the day it happened. There are folks who trace all the source of all the evil in the world to the decision to merge. But I joined the movement after the merger, and I have always thought of myself as a Unitarian Universalist.
Anyway, it's just possible that we need both cats and dogs in the world, Unitarians and Universalists, Theravada and Mahayana Buddhists. In order to be whole and complete persons, we need to cultivate our self-reliance and our ability to give and receive love, our humility and our pride; our times of solitude and our times of companionship. The prophet Isaiah envisioned a day when the lion and the lamb would lie down together, to which Woody Allen commented, "The lion and the lamb may lie down together, but the lamb won't get much sleep." In my household, the cats and the dog do lie down together; in their own unique ways, they seek to accommodate other creatures that are not exactly like them. So perhaps there is hope for peace in this church, peace in the world, peace between Unitarians and Universalists, cats and dogs.

Game 117 Recap: Greinke Mows Down Pirates
For the Pirates to have much of a chance to return to contention in 2011 they needed to start off strongly in this series with Milwaukee. Zach Greinke made sure that didn't happen. Milwaukee caught some breaks to pile on a lead against Paul Maholm. In the second Casey McGehee singled and could have potentially been erased on a double play comebacker from Yuniesky Betancourt. But Maholm bobbled the batted ball off...
A Few Notes For Sunday; Altoona Roster
Just a few notes from here and there:
Check out this story by Lee Judge of the Kansas City Star. He talks about Clint Hurdle, but it generally applies to almost any minor league system. I'm trying to picture players sleeping in the luggage racks.
The Indy Indians (and presumably the rest of the Pirates' minor league camp) have finished their official spring training games, with the last one yesterday against the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs in Bradenton. No word on the results. The Indians usually arrive in Indianapolis on Monday or Tuesday, and have a couple of final workouts before Opening Day on Thursday.
Some former Pirates and Pirates' farmhands are moving around:
P Romulo Sanchez was released by the Yankees, and has signed to play with the Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan.
P Ty Taubenheim was released by the Rangers.
The Diamondbacks have signed Inf Josh Wilson.
The Nationals have released OF Jonathan Van Every.
The White Sox released P Jeff Sues, but snapped up Inf Christian Colonel after the Pirates released him this week.
Inf/Of Luis Cruz was removed from the Brewers' 40-man roster and elected to become a free agent.
P Eric Hacker signed a minor league contract with the Twins.
The Rays have released P Jonah Bayliss.
UPDATE: The Altoona Curve roster has been announced: check it out here
Note that Rudy Owens, Justin Wilson, and Tony Watson are NOT on the Altoona roster, so they should be in Indianapolis. Also, Chase d'Arnaud, Matt Hague, and Gorkys Hernandez should be in Indy.
Contract Deadline: New Free Agents
When the deadline for offering contracts passed last night, four new free agents were created.
The Pirates offered contracts to pitcher Jeff Karstens and SS Ronny Cedeno, both as expected. But they elected not to tender contracts to pitchers Donnie Veal and Brian Burres, SS Argenis Diaz, and OF Lastings Milledge.
Veal is still recovering from elbow surgery, and is expected to sign a minor league deal with the Pirates. Since he is going to have to spend some time in the minors when he returns anyway, this is not likely to affect his progress much. The other three are all free agents now.
Other notes: Former Pirate C Ronny Paulino was also non-tendered by the Marlins, and he also is now a free agent. Pittsburgh native INF Josh Wilson, who played for the Indy Indians in 2008, was resigned by the Mariners. (NOT Jack Wilson, who is also on the Mariners' roster.) OF Eric Hinske was signed as a free agent by the Braves. P Zach Duke signed a contract with the Diamondbacks, avoiding arbitration.

I have a unidentified bamboo that's approx. 2 1/2 feet tall., could someone please tell me what's a good companion plant for these. I live in zone 4/5. Thank you |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are some bamboo which are that height as mature plants, but I'm curious what bamboo that would be in your Zone. Are you absolutely sure it's bamboo? Could you post a picture or describe it better? In particular, do the culms/stalks die back in the winter, or does it simply defoliate? How old is this planting? |
- Posted by ishareflowers 5 MA. (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Jun 11, 08 at 12:12
I looked it up and believe it to be a fargesia murielae. I'm looking for companion plants. Any suggestions? |
F. murielae is a nice one. Bamboo coexist with almost anything. I have quite a few bamboo -- albeit in a more temperate climate, Zone 8 -- and I have been successful with ferns, various groundcovers, cotoneaster, and smaller flowers like marigolds, California poppies, and smaller-size daylilies and irises. Some of those may be too big in scale for your bamboo now, but murielae is quite hardy and should size up to a respectable height in coming years. |
Plants with contrasting large leaves. Otherwise, frequent companions for Fargesias in the wild are spruces and rhododendrons. |
- Posted by Sandra Porter 5(email@example.com) onThu, May 12, 11 at 9:53
My neighbor in the back of my house has an excessive growth of bamboo used as a wall and/or property divider. The bamboo is nice but I would like to know how do you manage the roots for growing other plants? The roots have extended quite a distance and within this distance, I would personally like to include various plants. I have previously tried gardening but the bamboo roots kills the plants. What could I do to prevent the bamboo roots in killing my plants? |
- Posted by stevelau1911 6A (My Page) on Thu, May 12, 11 at 10:36
Lilies might be a pretty good companion since they offer a big contrast come in all sizes from 1ft up to 8ft, and bloom in all sorts of colors. I have a collection up to 8 species of different forms. They area easily propagated, but don't really spread if left alone and are very cold hardy. |

Attendees: Peter Bushnell, Jane Anne Carey, Jimmie Lundgren, Hikaru Nakano, Betsy Simpson, Doug Smith, Priscilla Williams, Naomi Young
RDA implementation
Modules 1-6 will follow the series bridge training. Priscilla will make a recommendation regarding Modules 5-6 (Authorities I and II), and Betsy will send a schedule to department.
FY14 goals for division meeting
No feedback has been received on the department's draft goals. The goals submitted by other division departments will be discussed at the April department meeting.
Training Committee
CMG brainstormed possible changes with the Training Committee, including using ad hoc task groups instead of a formal committee, but no decisions were made and discussion will continue.
CMG reviewed a mock-up LibGuide as a replacement for AlephPro and agreed that it has potential. LibGuides have a number of advantages over the current AlephPro: customizable, searchable, comment boxes, easy to copy/paste from AlephPro, etc. Each unit/area will compile a list of the procedures used currently, which will help identify procedures that can be archived.
Branch periodicals
Naomi and Priscilla will schedule a meeting with Library West to discuss issues related to locating annuals in GEN instead of PER shelving. Doug is working out details with AFA and Education.

In my experiences and perceptions, most of us suffer from this. I think the thing that draws us to budo in general is unrest, uneasiness, "something is not quite right", "I want to learn to protect myself", "I want to learn about myself", "A deeper understanding"...list goes on.
The ones I worry about are the ones that think they have the answers. I study with several higher ranking dans, one 6th Dan in particular that has been doing this for 30 years and seems to be re-interpreting aikido and finding new ways to explore it, different perspectives, ways of doing it etc....he will be the first to tell you he has some answers, but mostly not!

No Sarah Parsons, no Lauren Vugteveen, a loss on the roster, and then, a complete offensive collapse.
How could Randolph-Macon women's basketball survive all this and claim victory Tuesday night in a fight for third place in the ODAC against Virginia Wesleyan?
Enter Marisha Berry. The "Powhatan Pistol" played much taller than her 5-foot 6-inch frame, becoming a defensive thorn in the Marlins' side, and helping the Jackets to find a route to victory, 66-61, despite an abysmal shooting performance.
Berry's nine steals played a pivotal role in Randolph-Macon's late second-half comeback. Six of them came after she committed her fourth personal foul with 11:29 to play. Six minutes later, the Jackets had scored only eight points in 14 1/2 minutes of the half, and were behind 57-50.
Up to this point, the Jackets made three of their first 21 second-half shots from the floor. Nothing, and no one, was working.
Then, a Taylor Huber midcourt steal and layup came, feeling like a heavy rain in a dust bowl. Eighty seconds later, Stephanie Staples drew a foul, hit two free throws, and it was 57-54.
After a Marlins free throw, Katie Anderson's basket at 3:39 left, followed by two Huber free throws tied the game at 58 with 3:12 to play. Over the next two minutes, another Huber free throw, plus two from Hannah Livermon, upped the lead to 61-59.
Berry's seventh steal gave Anderson another trip to the charity stripe, earning two points for a 63-59 edge with 38 seconds left. Two seconds later, Berry's eighth steal drew another Virginia Wesleyan foul, and the freshman grew in stature as she calmly sank two free throws. Somehow, in under five minutes, the Jackets willed their way to 15 points and found their margin of victory.
Berry's work was made all the more important due to the absence of junior starter Sarah Parsons, out with a concussion. Lauren Vugteveen's absence for a second game due to a back injury suffered in practice meant more time, and more responsibility, for veterans like Paige Mills and freshmen like Staples, Taylor Intermill, and, on this night, Berry.
"I was nervous, but I thought, 'I gotta do what I've gotta do. I've had practice, so let's do it,'" Berry noted courtside after the game. "When we were down five with five minutes left, I looked at the ladies and said we've got to play defense, and we did."
The game's pace was in the Marlins' favor, a team that loves to play games in the 60s, not interested in the Jackets' run and gun style. Once Randolph-Macon's offense disappeared after intermission, it was their defense that kept Virginia Wesleyan in striking distance, otherwise there would be no hope for a final comeback.
"It was our defense that helped us win this game," said a relieved Carroll LaHaye, Randolph-Macon head coach. "That's quite a statement from me because I've been vocal about how we don't play defense. But our defense began to step up in the Lynchburg win (91-73 on Saturday at "Back To The Hive") and I'm proud of these kids tonight."
In the long run, LaHaye and her players may look back at this game that more mirrored a middleweight boxing fight with a degree of affinity. If ever there was an opportunity to realize the Yellow Jackets can win defensively when their offense fails them, it was Tuesday night.
Berry, for one, is ready to buy into anything so long as it means victory.
"We're buying into defense and offense," Berry said emphatically. "[LaHaye] came in and told us how horribly we shot and said to us we had to rely on our defense. And we did."
"Our team knew that we were the team that had to get stops because we were the team behind tonight," LaHaye said. "In past years, in past games, we'd fold, thinking we couldn't come back. But I'm proud of this team tonight for pulling within themselves. And Marisha's nine steals? She did well for a little freshman."
A little freshman who stood head and shoulders above the rest when it mattered most.
The Jackets next travel to Hollins University Saturday afternoon. Hollins is in last place in the ODAC at 1-10.Senior forward Lindsey Sharman has also been a notable absence on the court the past two games. LaHaye confirmed to the Herald-Progress Tuesday night that due to personal reasons, Sharman is no longer playing with Randolph-Macon.

Christmas Day Scenes
I hope you´ve all had a wonderful Christmas? I am back in London again after 5 days in the Netherlands to spend the holidays with my family. What I did during that time? Well, a bit of sleeping in, cooking, eating (lots and lots of eating), spending quality time my with family, walking on the beach, watching movies, blogging and generally just taking a bit of a break. It was lovely and just what I needed! Here are some photos from my Christmas Day at home.
As you can see lots and lots of delicious food and this continued almost every day while I was at home. I will feature some of these (delicious) cooking and baking recipes on the blog over the next few weeks, so watch this space! However after all this indulgent eating and drinking over the last few months, it means a health-kick is definitely needed in the New Year. So I have decided that in in January I am going to take part in Dry January. Yes that's right, not a drop of alcohol for 31 days! But first……….New Years Eve!
I am not in London for long because tomorrow I am off to Wales for 3 nights to ring in 2014 in a castle. Yes, you read that correctly, a castle! Me and 11 friends have rented our very own 6 bedroom castle in Wales to celebrate New Years Eve and there will plenty more good food, drinks and fun and games to had. Very much looking forward to finish 2013 with one last blow-out haha! Have you got something fun planned for NYE?
See you in 2014!
Baked Camembert with Rosemary and Garlic
What's better than cheese? Warm melted cheese of course! I love cheese fondue in winter for a fun and yummy meal with friends (winning recipe HERE) but there's a faster option if you want a quick and delicious appetizer to warm your guests, which can be ready in under 15 minutes!
Baked Camembert with Rosemary and Garlic is an irresistible and aromatic creamy starter/party dish, and it's so quick and easy, making it the perfect recipe to impress spoil your loved ones.
Baked Camember with Rosemary and Garlic
1 box of camembert (make sure it comes in a wooden box)
Garlic (peeled)
Fresh springs of rosemary
Honey (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Remove any plastic packaging from the cheese and place back in its box, leaving the lid off. Or I once bought a camembert that came in a perfectly sized heatproof dish that I now just re-use everytime. So if you have a heatproof dish the same size, or a bit bigger than your cheese you can use this instead of the wooden box.
- Slice the top of the cheese in several places with a sharp knife and insert pieces of garlic and sprigs of rosemary into the slits.
- Place the cheese on a baking sheet, leaving the cheese in its box. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until or until gorgeous and oozy in the middle.
- Allow to cool slightly, then drizzle about a tablespoon of honey all over the surface and serve with bread such as ciabatta or baguettes for dipping!
Delicious other topping variations you can try with your gooey baked camembert;
- Sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and thyme
- Chilli flakes, thyme, honey and toasted pecan nuts
- Apricot jam and nuts (like walnuts or almonds, what ever you fancy!)
- Slather with caramelized onions
- Sprinkle with spices like paprika
- Caramalised fruit like pears or apples
- Or make a sweet compote (or just use a jam) to be poured over the cheese once it's been cooked. Red berries (or cranberries around christmas time) are a good combination with the tangy flavour of the camembert. To make a compote simply simmer a handful of berries of choice with a tablespoon of hot water and a tablespoon of sugar until the fruit is soft and smooth.
Yum how good does that look right? Me and my friends polished this off very quickly so a good tip might be to pop a second one in the oven soon after you take the first one out! ENJOY!
Brunch at Jamie Oliver Recipease Notting Hill
Last year Jamie Oliver brought his very popular Recipease concept to West London. At Notting Hill Recipease you can take part in an assortment of cookery lessons, but also buy Jamie Oliver kitchen equipment and ingredients, pick up some 'food to go' or sit down and enjoy the delicious food in the café for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
I'd been to Recipease twice for a cooking lesson but had never actually tried the brunch there, what a disgrace right? So a few weeks back me and a couple of girlfriends met up for a Saturday morning brunch at Jamie Oliver Recipease Notting Hill.
First up was coffee while we decided on what to order from the menu. The menu has plenty of options – from a healthy fruit salad, to pancakes, to Jamie's Huevos Rancheros and 'the works' which is the Jamie Oliver version of a full English.
This is what we ordered that morning….
Bacon & egg sandwich (£4.50) Outdoor-reared streaky bacon & a free-range fried egg in a Flour Station seeded bun, with Jme ketchup or brown sauce. My friend had been out the night before and this bacon sammie was perfect for her hangover haha!
One of us felt like being healthy (it wasn't me!) and got the seasonal fruit salad (£6.95) which was a mix of fresh fruit with sweet citrus ricotta, mint & basil sugar. The mint and basil sugar was very refreshing and something to remember to try at home.
Me and a friend both couldn't decide between the smashed spicy avocado and the stack of American-style pancakes so what's a girl to do? Get BOTH of course!
Ok so we decided to get both are shared them! Check out that huge pile of smashed avocado with worcestershire sauce on toasted London bloomer bread with cherry tomatoes (£6.95). Holy moly now that's what I call a good amount of avocado….
Next up was the winning dish for me that morning; Stack of American-style pancakes (£7.95). We there the option of mixed berries but we went for the pancakes with maple & agave syrup, outdoor-reared streaky bacon & banana.
The combination of the salty bacon with sweet banana and maple syrup is just incredible. It reminded me of fresh toast with bacon and grilled banana how I often had this in NZ!
It's fair to say we LOVED Brunch at Jamie Oliver Recipease and will definitely be back! Have you been yet?
Tartan Mini Skirt
Yes tartan is a huge trend this season but I've actually been a big fan of this print already for many years! The tartan mini skirt I am wearing in these photos, I've had since I was 16…and no it wasn't part of a school uniform or anything ;) I bought this skirt about 13 years ago with a friend in a little boutique shop in The Hague and it's made many appearances since then (ok it also may have been worn to a dress-up party once or twice too!)
At the moment I love making it winter-wearable by pairing it with a chunky white knitted jumper and over-the-knee boots.
Tartan Mini Skirt 'vintage' – similar here and here
White chunky knit – ZARA
Leather Biker Jacket – River Island
Black tights – ASOS
Suede over-the-knee wedge boots – ZARA
These photos were taken in mid-December when Christmas decorations were everywhere, when I get back to London this weekend they will all be gone, booo!
Do you like the tartan trend? Oh and if you are not quite sure how to wear it then read an old post I did HERE with some tips on 'how to wear a tartan mini skirt'.

Images of past covers from the magazine about same-sex unions show how attitudes have changed over time.
The New Yorker has marked the Supreme Court's recent decision to strike down a key part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act with a new illustrated cover and a look back at previous covers about same-sex unions.
This week's cover, titled 'Moment of Joy', snapshots a new attitude towards gay couples. It shows Sesame Street's iconic and much-loved characters Bert and Ernie cuddling in front of a television showing footage of the Supreme Court. It was illustrated by artist Jack Hunter, who originally submitted it, unsolicited, to a Tumblr blog. He said:
It's amazing to witness how attitudes on gay rights have evolved in my lifetime. This is great for our kids, a moment we can all celebrate.
The slideshow below shows how earlier covers from the magazine have depicted same-sex unions over time. Click through to view a selection of the illustrations:

D5 1/2 NS and insulin coverage
0Jul 27, '11 by Little_MouseWhat are your thoughts?
Pt has a history of DM. Pt has a GT feeding which is being held for surgery. Pt on 1/2NS IVF. I called the MD and received an order to change to D5 1/2NS (I was worried about his glucose level). PRIOR to IVF change, his BS was 131 at 2100. Changed IVF at 2200. Checked BS at 0600 and it was 153 (Accuchecks are AC/HS). Pt has insulin coverage: Novolog 3 units for BS >150, so I gave it.
Gave report to AM RN. RN stated I should've held the insulin coverage because it was labeled a "high dose" coverage (low dose would've been only 1 unit of insulin for BS >150). She attempted to explain the reasoning behind it but I didn't get it. From my understanding, pt is on a constant dose of D5, so the insulin coverage (which I consider is a little amount) would be OK to give. Plus, I've been told by other nurses that bc the pt is on D5 it's ok to give the insulin coverage. I've given insulin coverage before to pts on D5 and never had a problem with hypoglycemia afterwards.
But I've been told otherwise by another nurse--she had a similar situation but the pt became hypoglycemic, so now I think she doesn't give coverage anymore...
What do you think? What would you have done? And what's your reasoning behind it?
Btw, the AM RN said she thinks the BS will go down to 80 by noon. I think it'll be in the 110-120s. I'm tempted to call around then and find out. I told the nurse that and she said "Don't worry about it--if anything I'll give the pt D50 [amp]"." <---her implying that it will drop...a LOT. Hmm..ok.... -
0Jul 27, '11 by I<3H2OThe way our department handles meds with surgery patients is to call the anesthesia department and ask them which meds to give. Including insulin. If a pt. is going to surgery, usually the anesthesiologist wants them to have cardiac meds and nothing else. Other times they don't want them to have them b/c they will give something IV for HTN if needed, etc. So, the way I would have handled the situation would be to call the doctor or anest on the case. You did just follow the order. :shrugs:
2Jul 29, '11 by tokmom, BSNYep, we call the Md or surgery to see what they want. When we have pts NPO we do accuechecks q 6 hrs.
I would have given the insulin with an IV of D5. -
1Aug 3, '11 by RoyalPrinceYou did the right thing. If and when the BS drops later, it isn't because of your insulin coverage; rather the IVF tricking body into having more sugar available now *due to D5 IV* but at your time, the glucose was freely causing damage to the vessels and organs and thus you covered.Skeletor likes this.
1Aug 4, '11 by classicdame GuideRemember, rapid acting insulin leaves the body in as little as 20 minutes and up to 2 hours for some people. The safe thing to do is what you do with ALL prn meds, check later for outcomes (repeat BS check). With D5 I would have done the same and, as a diabetic, would want my nurse to as well.Skeletor likes this.
0Aug 7, '11 by #1MEIt depends, our hospital has a sliding scale, it includes a higher Insulin unit coverage for the day and a lower one for the night (because as we all know, blood sugars tend to drop between the night and the early morning, even if your not diabetic). In the case of 153, I wouldn't have covered because he has been NPO, is going into surgery, once out of surgery will begin liquids, and that's even if he isn't too nauseated to take them. If his blood sugar was in the 2-300's then I would have gave him some coverage, but even then not the whole dose.
0Sep 23, '11 by BunnySan27I would have covered it....at my hospital for sliding scale insulin we have parameters that state do not hold insulin even if pt is npo. I say you did the right thing but you should also follow your facilities protocol.
0Sep 25, '11 by LouisVRNI'm surprised to hear so many mixed responses on it. We were always told it was not within our scope of practice to hold medications without A) a doctor's order or B) documented contraindications to give it (ie low respiratory rate/sedation with narcotics) It is part of our insulin orders to call when the patient becomes NPO and get new orders or clarify current orders/IV fluids. i would say you were absolutely correct to give the ordered dose of insulin. We do have some nurses that work at our facility that hold insulin while a pt is NPO regardless of what the blood glucose is. In fact this past week we had one held when the blood glucose was in the 350s and the night nurse had called specifically to get the insulin coverage changed from moderate to mild sliding scale while the pt was npo.

Mary Jane Nesbitt, 51, opened her consignment clothing shop, Nine Lives, in Los Gatos, an upscale community in California's Silicon Valley, in February 1993. Before opening the shop, Nesbitt had worked for many years in the legal department of a commercial real estate brokerage. Her decision to leap from employee to entrepreneur came during a soul-searching walk with her husband, David Butcher.
"I was unhappy and frustrated," Nesbitt recalls. "We had talked about the possibility of my opening a consignment shop for maybe six months. We got to this end of town, and my husband pointed across the park and said, `Look, that space is for rent. This is it. You're doing it.' "
The storefront to which Butcher pointed is ideal for a consignment shop, Nesbitt says, because there's plenty of regular foot traffic. The next-door neighbors are a bakery and a dry cleaner. Down the block is a U.S. Post Office, and across the street is a park where community functions are held.
Nesbitt started the business by taking $17,000 out of her retirement plan to cover initial lease costs, racks, hangers, shelves, bags, printing costs, lighting and other necessities. Her husband, a Webmaster for a large networking company, wrote the shop's custom financial and inventory management software.
Nine Lives grossed $180,000 last year. More important, Nesbitt is doing something she loves: "My satisfaction in life is so much greater."

This is a very versatile recipe with substitutions that can make the cookies tastier or healthier, depending on the ingredients. The ingredients in the recipe are, in my opinion, the best combination of taste and nutrition. They can certainly be healthier or tastier, but that's up to you. I've tried many of the alternative ingredients and think they all work well. Enjoy! Submitted by AND_SCENE Carbs: 14.2g | Fat: 5.4g | Fiber: 1.6g | Protein: 2.1g | Calories: 183.5

She kneeled on the floor and piqued my interest
So, I'm wondering what things people of the opposite sex do that could be seen as religious that make you take a greater interest in that person. Take for example. I was at adoration last night and the chapel has chairs with fold down kneelers on the back of each chair. Well as you might imagine that means the front row is without kneelers, but they do have one standing kneeler with a padded arm rest on top and cushioned kneeler. Well, this young lady walks in to the front row and after kneeling in reverence before the Blessed Sacrament she got up and pushed the standing kneeler forward a bit with her foot and then proceeded to kneel down on the ground. Now granted the chapel is carpeted, but it's definitely a form of mortification to kneel on the ground rather than a cushioned kneeler. Well, needless to say, I was impressed and wanted to ask her out on a date right then and there, but looked at her closer and seen she looked a wee too young for me. So, what things to people of the opposite do that make you want to ask them out on a date or at least pique your interest in them?
