Wow! That's a beautiful Crabapple tree! Thanks for posting. |
Thanks. And, its kind of funny. Our spring has arrived early and strong. Much warmer, much earlier than usual. It seems to have really messed up alot of our spring flowering trees. Just not as showy as usual. The Pears, redbuds, fruit trees, etc. But, the Crabapples are really putting on a show here for some reason. Can't outguess mother nature. |

beautiful - what variety of crab is that? My spring is earlier here too; I hope we're still going to get some more rain before summer. |
Thanks, and all I know is "neighbor's". Sorry. |

A bride and groom recline on a dock, the white of her gown complementing the pale horizon, which slowly fades into blue. A ballerina stands en pointe in a window, the sun illuminating the delicate tulle of her tutu. A couple sits cross-legged in a library, the leaning books on the shelves mirroring their backs as they lean in to kiss. A newborn sleeps in a nest of textiles, the lace and linen standing out against the baby's smooth skin.
TOV Studio Photography's skilled photographers, each of whom has more than a decade's worth of photo shoots under their belt, understand how to use the everyday world around them?from the sky to the sidewalk?to create images that feel as unique as their subjects. Outdoor shoots use architecture and elements of nature to frame newlyweds, families, and graduating seniors, using the natural light to emphasize the happy glow in a couple's eyes or the pristine white of a bride's not-yet-grass-stained gown. It's not all indoors, though?in the comfortable confines of the studio, photographers create custom backgrounds that bestow a similar, tree-free kind of individuality.
With locations across Texas, Florida, and Illinois, Studio One to One captures patrons' best angles using simple backdrops and props during personalized studio-style portrait sessions. During the 30-minute shoots, clients can show off one perfectly practiced pose, from the bad-boy wall lean to the finger-pointing prosecutor. The professional photographer then transfers images onto prints, which make thoughtful gifts for loved ones who frequently mistake you for a stranger.

Each location has an independent state-licensed doctor of optometry, who can perform vision exams and help clients determine which type of vision correction will work best.

My Plumies still have a lot of leaves and one has unopened blooms, we still get sunny days in the 50s and sometimes 60s, should I remove all the leaves to encourage dormancy? Mine are in pots and different sizes. I don't have any room in the garage, but I have a covered patio...soooo I'll probably keep them there, covered with some old sheets.
Mike or Bill, does this sound like a good plan? Thank you for any suggestions, Annamaria |

As long as you do not get several hours of freezing temps. this will work. Because you are surrounded by water it should keep the temperatures above freezing but keep an eye on the frost warnings. If predicted, put a few lights under the sheets to generate warmth. white xmas lights work fine. |

When the loss of a dear one haunts your daily life, how do you go on.
Form Perfect
Sometimes the fantastical can become reality within the blink of an eye.
A short film by director John C. Sheetz is the whimsical tale of an ordinary man who stumbles across something unusual amid the tall, dry grass of the foothills. In plain sight, but grossly out of place, the man finds an ordinary wooden crate devoid of distinguishing labeling. With no one around to claim it, the mans curiosity leads him to open the mystery box. Nestled deep inside the man finds an odd treasure the perfect female form with some assembly required. Set against the harsh, yet scenic, beauty of the open range, this tale invites the ordinary to see beyond to the extraordinary.

Hi Girls,
We're back from Mexico. I'll write about that later, but I wanted to ask for some thoughts and prayers for G's cousin. She went into the hospital the day before we left at 26 weeks pg with twin girls. They ended up having to deliver the babies the next day, on Friday. The girls were born at 1# 9oz and 1 lbs 2 oz. This morning Baby B passed away. this is such a heartbreaking loss for the entire family. They have another little girl who is almost 2 at home as well.
Please say some thoughts and prayers for their comfort and strength.
I'm so very sorry, Amber. Definite thoughts and prayers for them and all of you. Can't even find the right words to type.
OMG. I am heartbroken reading this. My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. I'm so sorry.
Mommy to 2 amazing little boys!

Oh Amber, I am so sorry. That is so sad. Prayers for you whole family, especially baby A and her parents and sister.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine how devastated they are. Prayers being said. ((hugs))
Oh no, that is so heartbreaking.
Thanks. It is very sad. I just feel so awful for them. Thankfully Baby A is doing well right now. She was able to come off the vent and was moved onto CPAP and has started to take a very small amount of breastmillk. So that is good. They were able to hold her for the first time yesterday.
How would you guys handle sending cards to the family? I want to honor both babies, but cannot think of a tactful way to do it. How do you celebrate the life of one, while mourning the loss of the other? And ideas?

EFF will rule SA: Malema
Comment on this storyParliament - The Economic Freedom Fighters will rule the country, the party's leader Julius Malema told MPs in the National Assembly on Wednesday.
Speaking shortly after President Jacob Zuma delivered his budget vote speech, Malema said other political parties had grossly underestimated the EFF and the support it enjoyed among South Africans.
The party celebrates its first birthday on Saturday.
"We said on the 26 of July 1/82013 3/8 that the EFF is a government in waiting. If anyone still doubts that today, that person needs... medical attention," Malema said.
While repeating accusations that the African National Congress was protecting white monopoly capital, the fiery former Zuma ally did have a few good words for the ruling party.
"We want to take this opportunity to congratulate the members of the ruling party for coming out openly today in support of the Palestinian struggle," he said.
Malema called on ANC MPs to put pressure on Zuma to expel the Israeli ambassador to South Africa.
He made brief mention of EFF members storming the Gauteng legislature on Tuesday, during a protest against the removal of the party's MPLs during a sitting on July 1.
"We also want to agree with the minister of police that police must not be a force, but a service because what we came to expect yesterday is a result of police being turned into a force."
Malema went on to list the reasons why the party would continue to fight the implementation of the National Development Plan (NDP).
"The NDP aims to diminish workers' rights and their protection because it proposes cheaper labour mechanisms as a means of attracting investment," he said.
Malema was interrupted twice by ANC MPs, including Mandla Mandela, who objected to his statements.
Before running out of time, Malema took a parting shot at Cyril Ramaphosa by saying: "Mr President, be careful of your deputy president who sleeps with white monopoly capital."

After a adventure-filled morning, Isla Fisher took her adorable daughters Olive and Elula out in Studio City, CA on Tuesday (August 14).
The "Wedding Crashers" actress and her little mini mes donned matching pink and jean ensembles as they stopped for frozen yogurt and shopped at Entertaining Elephants.
In the newfound tradition of bridesmaid-themed flicks, "Bachelorette" seems to stand head and shoulders above the rest.
And the newly-released red band trailer is proof positive that this chick flick starring Isla Fisher, Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan, James Marsdon, and Rebel Wilson, is chock full of full-on guy humor.
Capitalizing on the success of "Bridesmaids," a trailer released today (July 21st) for "Bachelorette" hopes to capture the same magic.
Based on writer/director Leslye Headland's Off-Broadway play, the Will Ferrell produced movie focuses on three mean girls invited to the wedding of their overweight high school friend, played by Rebel Wilson (also of "Bridesmaids").
Carrying the southern France festivities well into the night, a plethora of famous faces took to Villa St George for a party as part of the 65th Cannes Film Festival on Thursday (May 17).
Taking care of some promotional duties, Chris Pine, Isla Fisher, and Alec Baldwin were spotted at a Q&A panel for their new film "Rise of the Guardians" today (May 16) at the 65th Cannes Film Festival.
It has been a long time coming, and earlier today (May 10) "The Dictator" held its UK premiere in London, England.
Giving a whole new look at the legendary creatures of childhood, "Rise of the Guardians" has just released a new teaser trailer and artwork for our viewing pleasure.
The DreamWorks flick is based William Joyce's book "The Guardians of Childhood" and looks at the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, the Sandman, the Tooth Fairy, and Jack Frost as they work together to protect children all over the world.
Looking fully focused in the thick of their workday, costars Jesse Eisenberg and Isla Fisher were spotted on the New York City set of "Now You See Me" this afternoon (March 23).
Both clad in a light jackets and blue jeans, the talented twosome could be seen chatting amongst one another as they shot a take along of the Big Apple's busy streets.


text: Meet the Staff Doug Beavers - Program Director and National Team Coach Coach Beavers has been active in the sport of diving since 1977, and has been a professional diving coach for over 20 years. For years he was actively involved with NVSL diving at Parliament Pool in Springfield, VA. Parliament is where he learned to swim and dive, got his first job, started coaching diving, and met his wife Beth. In 1989 he began coaching at the Northern Virginia Dive Club (NVDC) a registered USA Diving program, under Head Coach Bob Ketrick. During his time there he played an instrumental role in the development of NVDC's first Olympic Trials qualifier, Kristin Link. By the time he left in December 1994, the club had built a strong reputation as an up-and-coming USA Diving program. Eager to try his hand as a Head Coach, he spent two years as the Head JO Coach at South Carolina Divers and served as assistant coach at University of South Carolina. There he worked with Puerto Rican Olympian Vivian Alberty and US Olympians Melisa Moses and Michelle Davison. In December of 1996, he moved to the City of St Peters, Missouri to create a comprehensive diving program at the St Peters REC-PLEX. He started from scratch, and over the next nine years Lightning Diving became a nationally recognized USA Diving program, produced numerous Junior National and Senior National Qualifiers, NCAA scholarship athletes, and several National Champions. Divers trained by Coach Beavers and his staff in St Peters went on to capture NCAA and Senior National Titles, compete in US Olympic Trials, and even compete at the Olympic Games. In the London 2012 Olympic Games, former Lightning Diver Kelci Bryant won a bronze medal in the synchronized 3-meter springboard event. In the summer of 2004, the City of St Peters hosted the US Olympic Trials for diving, and Doug was an active part of the bid and hosting of that event. With two young children in tow, Doug and Beth decided to sell their business in Missouri and return to Northern Virginia where they could enjoy time with their extended family. In addition to coaching, Beavers has been active in the administrative levels of the sport, serving on the Executive Board of USA Diving and as President of the US Professional Diving Coaches Association. He was named Program Director of Montgomery Dive Club in September 2010. He currently coaches National Team and Human Springs at KSAC and the Dryland Training Center. Contact Coach Doug at firstname.lastname@example.com Bob Ketrick - Program Administrator and National Team Coach Bob Ketrick most recently coached high school and age-group diving in Vestal, NY, but he is widely recognized as the founder and head coach of the Northern Virginia Dive Club, a nationally recognized diving program that trained out of Oakton, VA from 1988 – 2002. Bob has been involved in competitive diving for 32 years, with over 30 years of coaching experience from which to draw. Bob started as a diver at the Vestal Senior High School, in Vestal, NY. He competed for the Vestal Golden Bears for three seasons and was a state finalist two of the three years. Upon completing his New York State High School Regents Diploma, he was awarded a partial scholarship for diving and he matriculated to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). While working toward his Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering Bob qualified for and participated in three out of the four NCAA Championships between 1980 – 1984. While on student work blocks during Spring and Summer of 1983 and 1984, Bob trained under such highly respected coaches as Glen McCormick in Long Beach, California, and U.S. Olympic Coach Ron O'Brien in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Bob began coaching in 1980 as a senior diver/assistant coach at the Monroe Community College age-group diving program in Rochester, NY. He finished his Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and then spent 2 years as the NCAA diving coach at RIT while he completed his Master's Degree in Computer Engineering. Bob then moved to Reston, Virginia and started coaching the South Lakes High School. From that small group of 6-8 high school divers, Bob formed a US Diving club, which grew over the next several years to become a top USD program. The Northern Virginia Dive Club (NVDC) was a full time age-group diving program owned and operated by Bob with the support of four assistant coaches. NVDC produced 4 National Champions, 146 National qualifiers, and had one diver, Kristin Link, compete at the 1996 Olympic Team Trials on 10-Meter. During this time Bob also conducted research for USA Diving on portable sparging (bubbler) systems. His findings led to changes in USA Diving policy, and he is the author of the Portable Sparging System section published in the USA Diving Safety Manual. In the 1995-96 season Bob traveled to Rostock, Germany; Guangzhou, China and Fukuoka, Japan as the U.S. National Team Coach at the Junior and Senior World Diving Championships. Bob coaches National Team at GISC and generally manages the operations of our Germantown program. He is also tasked with financial oversight of the program. Contact Coach Bob at email@example.com Wes Mattice - Communications Director and National Team Coach Wes started diving in the summer of 1995, under Coach Joe Somma at Newfield Swim and Dive Club in Stamford, CT. Shortly after that he was invited to the Whirlwind Dive Team, out of New Canaan, CT. He dove High School at Stamford High and competed in college at Southern Connecticut State University, graduating with a Bachelors degree in Studio Art. Even as a diver Wes continually found himself coaching, assisting at his summer club and with the club team at SCSU. In Fall 2006, he started coaching for the Whirlwind Dive Team, working with all levels from beginner to the national team. During this time he continued to learn from great coaches like Joe Somma, and Sergey Meshcherskiy. He also trained and competed at Masters Nationals in 2007. Wes served as Head Dive Coach at Greenwich Country Club, Stanwich Country Club, and the Tri-state team out of the New Canaan YMCA. He was also a Gymnastics and Tumbling coach for the New Canaan YMCA. Coach Wes recently moved to the District of Columbia and joined the MDC Staff in September 2011. Wes spends most of his time coaching the National Team at KSAC and the Dryland Training Center. Off the pool deck Wes is a freelance Graphics Designer, Illustrator and artist. He has used his considerable skills to help develop the MDC web site, wrangle our registration system, and create our marketing materials. Contact Coach Wes at email@example.com Noah Ehrenberg - Human Springs Coach Noah joins MDC this Fall after several very successful years coaching in the MCDL. He brings a unique style to the pool deck and is quickly building a fan-base of divers and parents alike who love his approach to coaching. Noah spent several weeks last summer serving as an apprentice coach under National Training Center Coaches in Indianapolis as well as the top coaches at City of Midland, Texas. His enthusiasm and desire for improvement are infectious, and we love having him on the staff. You can find Noah coaching at Olney, MLK and KSAC. Contact Coach Noah at firstname.lastname@example.com. Colin Patrican - Human Springs Coach, National Team Assistant Colin Patrican rejoined the MDC staff in the Fall of 2013 after completing his studies at the University of Buffalo. While at Buffalo, Colin trained under nationally recognized diving coach Karla Helder, who not only trained him as a diver, but also helped him to become a remarkable young coach. Befor Buffalo, Colin was a member of MDC and the Fredrick Area Divers, under the legendary John E. Smith. You can find Colin coaching Human Springs, High School and National Team at GISC, High School at KSAC, and on the weekends at the Dryland Training Center.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 But there'll be no darkness for those who were in trouble. Earlier he did bring the lands of Zebulun and Naphtali into disrepute, but the time is coming when he'll make that whole area glorious - the road along the Sea, the country past the Jordan, international Galilee. | 1 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan-- |
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. For those who lived in a land of deep shadows - light! sunbursts of light! | 2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. |
3 You repopulated the nation, you expanded its joy. Oh, they're so glad in your presence! Festival joy! The joy of a great celebration, sharing rich gifts and warm greetings. | 3 You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder. |
4 The abuse of oppressors and cruelty of tyrants - all their whips and cudgels and curses - Is gone, done away with, a deliverance as surprising and sudden as Gideon's old victory over Midian. | 4 For as in the day of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor. |
5 The boots of all those invading troops, along with their shirts soaked with innocent blood, Will be piled in a heap and burned, a fire that will burn for days! | 5 Every warrior's boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire. |
6 For a child has been born - for us! the gift of a son - for us! He'll take over the running of the world. His names will be: Amazing Counselor, Strong God, Eternal Father, Prince of Wholeness. | 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. |
7 His ruling authority will grow, and there'll be no limits to the wholeness he brings. He'll rule from the historic David throne over that promised kingdom. He'll put that kingdom on a firm footing and keep it going With fair dealing and right living, beginning now and lasting always. The zeal of God-of-the-Angel-Armies will do all this. God Answered Fire with Fire | 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this. |
8 The Master sent a message against Jacob. It landed right on Israel's doorstep. | 8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob; it will fall on Israel. |
9 All the people soon heard the message, Ephraim and the citizens of Samaria. But they were a proud and arrogant bunch. They dismissed the message, saying, | 9 All the people will know it-- Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria-- who say with pride and arrogance of heart, |
10 "Things aren't that bad. We can handle anything that comes. If our buildings are knocked down, we'll rebuild them bigger and finer. If our forests are cut down, we'll replant them with finer trees." | 10 "The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars." |
11 So God incited their adversaries against them, stirred up their enemies to attack: | 11 But the LORD has strengthened Rezin's foes against them and has spurred their enemies on. |
12 From the east, Arameans; from the west, Philistines. They made hash of Israel. But even after that, he was still angry, his fist still raised, ready to hit them again. | 12 Arameans from the east and Philistines from the west have devoured Israel with open mouth. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised. |
13 But the people paid no mind to him who hit them, didn't seek God-of-the-Angel-Armies. | 13 But the people have not returned to him who struck them, nor have they sought the LORD Almighty. |
14 So God hacked off Israel's head and tail, palm branch and reed, both on the same day. | 14 So the LORD will cut off from Israel both head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day; |
15 The big-head elders were the head, the lying prophets were the tail. | 15 the elders and prominent men are the head, the prophets who teach lies are the tail. |
16 Those who were supposed to lead this people led them down blind alleys, And those who followed the leaders ended up lost and confused. | 16 Those who guide this people mislead them, and those who are guided are led astray. |
17 That's why the Master lost interest in the young men, had no feeling for their orphans and widows. All of them were godless and evil, talking filth and folly. And even after that, he was still angry, his fist still raised, ready to hit them again. | 17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men, nor will he pity the fatherless and widows, for everyone is ungodly and wicked, every mouth speaks vileness. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised. |
18 Their wicked lives raged like an out-of-control fire, the kind that burns everything in its path - Trees and bushes, weeds and grasses - filling the skies with smoke. | 18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire; it consumes briers and thorns, it sets the forest thickets ablaze, so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke. |
19 God-of-the-Angel-Armies answered fire with fire, set the whole country on fire, Turned the people into consuming fires, consuming one another in their lusts - | 19 By the wrath of the LORD Almighty the land will be scorched and the people will be fuel for the fire; no one will spare his brother. |
20 Appetites insatiable, stuffing and gorging themselves left and right with people and things. But still they starved. Not even their children were safe from their rapacious hunger. | 20 On the right they will devour, but still be hungry; on the left they will eat, but not be satisfied. Each will feed on the flesh of his own offspring: |
21 Manasseh ate Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh, and then the two ganged up against Judah. And after that, he was still angry, his fist still raised, ready to hit them again. | 21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh; together they will turn against Judah. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised. |

Anyone know what's going on with the order process. I tell my cart to proceed with order. It sends me to a new screen to confirm my shipping address and payment method. It tells me to hit the "place my order" button to continue. Problem is there is no place my order button. I am stuck in limbo land. Any help??
Same here. The cart won't allow anything to be placed into it, when I click the cart icon, it goes to a server error page after taking about a minute to attempt to load. Getting to main woot.com was slow to load as well. I'm in Chrome.
Ditto, I just checked, and while I can currently "Add to Cart" and the # showing up in my cart updates, clicking on the cart goes nowhere. Also in Chrome
Thanks yous guys, I put in my first very scary trouble ticket. Hopefully we get this fixed ASAP.
Add me to the me too list.
I can add to cart but Cart shows processing gears, then later server error.
I emailed, and did lots of begging and groveling to the Gods of w00t... PLEASE, with sugar and bags of crap on top!
Why won't it let me spend money? UGHHHHH
cart will not function, nor does support link work. seems to be stuck for lots of people
My problem is just getting to the cart. I can't tell if an order has been placed, because the page loads in perpetuity. When I click on my cart, I get the gears for a while and the error message.
Sorry you guys, this is still a work in progress.
same issue here
Whew. It's not just me. Good luck, Woot tech. Hope it's an easy fix. Although they rarely are...
Add me to the list! My cart got all messed up last night trying in vain to score some Carp, and has not been working since. Trying to put things in/access the cart is giving me all kinds of strange errors. Woodgods, please, please fix by Midnight!!
Same thing here. Tried to add the item to my cart for a while... finally got it to work. Now it won't let me checkout. I just tried to send a support email, but it gave me the 'woot: server error' page also. Grr. Hope they get this fixed soon.
I am trying to order the double walled wine glasses and am stuck with spinning gears too. I tried writing customer service after getting an error page but got the same error when I send in the message. The offer expires in less than an hour so its starting to look like I won't be able to get this deal. UGH!!
Still borked. The cart won't update and just keeps gringing gears. How can I buy more useless crap for crapsmas?
I'm desperately trying to spend my husband's money before he gets home from work today on more stuff that he will insist we don't need ;) Hope the cart issue gets resolved soon because I'd sure hate to miss out on those R/C helicopters for me and the Michael Kors bag for him...
If I can't order 3 storage boxes for $6 a piece, Christmas will be ruined!
This is how we feel about YOUR MONEY
Good news, my cart is now showing correctly while hovering over it. The page is now working too, all may be good now.
Also happy I'm not the only One getting this problem. I'm at work and trying to order s tuff without getting caught is hard now ! Funny I tried to send an email to support and got directed to yet another error page
It should be working now. If you guys still have problems with the support page, please email into firstname.lastname@example.com!
It is still not working. When I place an order for the wine glasses it asks for age verification. When I put my birthdate in freezes up.
Well now after trying to order the wine glasses for 3 hours they are sold out. Another angry shopper-Great job Woot!
The Cart is still not working for me. There is no Place Your Order button, and the 'shipping speed' says ({{method.ShippingTime}}) under the 'Standard' radio button! Will contact Support again!

NJ Jackals Come Back to Win Wild Game
It was the annual Monday night Dog Night at Yogi Berra Stadium, but fans did not just see dogs running wild on the field during the game they saw a wild game themselves. The New Jersey Jackals beat the the Three River Eagles (Trios-Rivieres Aigles) 10 – 6 to take the first game of the team's four game series in a thrilling but crazy game on Monday night.
The Jackals began this high scoring affair in the first inning when DH Joe Dunigan hit an RBI double to put New Jersey up 1-0. After the Eagles would tie the game at 1-1 with an RBI groundout, the Jackals would retake the lead in the third inning with a solo home run by Alonzo Harris to make it a 2-1 game. After that, the game got a little bit crazy.
After a bad call by the first base umpire to start the fourth inning, the Jackals would commit two errors that allowed the Eagles to tie the game and then take a 3-2 lead. The Jackals committed five errors in the game, two of which by Harris at second base.
The Jackals were down 4-2 going into the bottom of the sixth inning, but New Jersey would come alive again. The Jackals would cut the deficit to 4-3 when Dunigan gets his second hit of the night, hitting a RBI single. Dunigan on his approach at the plate Monday night said "I'm just trying to be more relaxed. I'm an aggressive hitter. Sometimes it works for me sometimes it doesn't, but tonight I was able to get a couple of key hits and help the team win."
After Dunigan's RBI single, third baseman Jeremy Barnes would hit a two run home run to give the Jackals a 5-4 lead. Barnes who has been struggling at the plate this year said on his big home run "It felt good. I haven't been swinging the bat as well this year as I did last year., but I was able to put a good swing on it and it's something I can build on."
In the seventh inning, the game would take another interesting turn after the Jackals committed two errors to start the inning. Reliever Ryan Fennell would walk a batter with the bases loaded allowing the Eagles to tie the game at 5-5. The Eagles would then take the lead on a RBI groundout and have a 6-5 lead over the Jackals going into the bottom of the seventh.
Down 6-5 in the bottom of the seventh, the Jackals would battle back again to retake the lead. With men on second and third and no outs, center fielder Felix Sanchez would hit a two run double to put the Jackals up 7-6 and give them the lead for good. Sanchez who has been a clutch hitter for the Jackals so far this season said of the clutch hit "It feels really good. Before I would come into those moments so nervous but now in these situations I just want to hit because I want to be the hero."
The Jackals would then add another run in the seventh and two more in the eighth to make it a 10-6 game and go on to a big win to open up the series. Dunigan on how big the win was for the Jackals said "We want to come out here and start off the series well. Joe (Jackal's manager) told the team earlier that the last time these guys came they took it to us pretty good, so we need to come out and make sure we gave everything we had out there."
With the win, the Jackals improve to 21-3 n the season and are 7-3 in their last 10 games.
Game Note: This was the first time the Jackals would face former teammate Jose Cuevas, who was traded to Three Rivers on June 24th.

Had a buffé lunch at Magic restaurant after visiting Petra. Delicious authentic jordan food. Amazing view over Petra. Loved it!
varieties of oriental dishes and salads at the buffet very clean restaurant and good service the view of petra mountains is amazing while having lunch there.
As part of our Desert Eco Tour to Petra, we stopped in the Petra Magic Restaurant for a late lunch and we were so glad we did! The view from the restaurant is breathtaking and the white tablecloth covered tables and chairs with local mural decorations and light music in the background was the perfect end to a perfect day!... More
We arrived here with all the tour bus, and several,others. I thought the food was going to be lousy, but to my surprise it was really fine and enjoyable.
We ate here as part of our day trip to Petra. It was even fine for me as a vegetarian - with plenty of choice. I don't know what they would charge normally as the meal was included in our trip price.
The exterior of Petra Magic belies the decent food and service available within. My family and I would not have found it without the guidance of our local driver. Having spent over 4 hours visiting Petra we were in need of sustenance and this place fitted the bill perfectly , the lunch was a buffet but the quality and choice... More
Food was good: plenty of salads, warm foods and desserts. Soup was also ok. Nice view from the balcony. Worth visiting!
Our tour bus stopped here for lunch after visiting Petra. This place is filled with tourists, and is basically a banquet hall filled with long tables. The food was good, but not great. It was fairly clean. Overall, a fine stop for a tour bus, but definitely not a "local" place, nor a place that I would stop at if... More
Our driver recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed by any means. There's a wide variety of starters, mains and deserts. The view from our table was breath-taking overlooking the mountains. We also asked if there was somewhere to pray and the waiter kindly directed us to a quiet area upstairs. For desert you must try Um-Ali it is... More
Our tour to Petra stopped for lunch at this buffet restaurant. The tables were covered in dirty tablecloths, and there were flies buzzing around. The bathrooms were filthy.

Randolph-Macon softball had high hopes entering the 2014 season. But no one could anticipate the unusual road that was the regular campaign.
Weather continually postponed games and practices. Rhythm and routine were difficult to attain. With most affairs of the doubleheader nature, the Jackets were forced, on one weekend, to play six games in 48 hours.
Attrition left just 12 players on the roster Friday when the Jackets hosted Shenandoah for their Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) finale. When it was over, two freshmen, one counted upon since fall practice to play a big role this season, the other almost an afterthought, not guaranteed to play this season, helped carry Randolph-Macon to victory.
Pitcher Kelsey McLaughlin (Douglas Freeman) shook off a rough first inning start, and kept Shenandoah off the scoreboard in the final six innings, giving her teammates time to complete a comeback as the Jackets took game one by a 5-3 count.
After two quick outs in the first, McLaughlin uncharacteristically issued consecutive walks. Lindsay Corbin took advantage, sending a pitch to the top of the center field wall, where it bounced over the fence for a three-run home run to give the Hornets a quick 3-0 lead. McLaughlin settled down from there, retiring the next eight hitters while the Jackets responded with their bats.
Sophomore Scoop Simon singled to start the first, was sacrificed to second and later scored from third on a wild pitch. In the second, Jenna Best led off with a single and scored two batters later when third baseman Katie Lockett singled down the left field line. After a walk and hit by pitch loaded the bases, Lockett scored on a Sam Moore sacrifice fly to center. The game was tied.
Enter Lockett again in the third. With two out and two on, Lockett again singled to left, bringing in Sharese Jarvis with the go-ahead run.
When you add in key defensive stops, including fielding a bunt down the third base line with her bare hand, Lockett, who graduated from Matoaca High in Chesterfield, had a red-letter day, impressive for someone far down the depth chart when the season began.
"My teammates have supported me, which has helped me perform a lot better," Lockett explained. "Their support helped me stay confident during the change from high school to college. The game is much quicker."
While Lockett came on strong late in the campaign when called upon, McLaughlin has been the pitching engine that could, finishing 12-5 with 14 complete games and a 2.04 ERA. She looks back on the Jackets' 22-10 season and sees how she has matured in the circle.
"My composure has gotten a lot better, making sure things that happen don't get to me, you know, like the first inning today," McLaughlin explained with a smile. "I'm also focused more on how I pitch when ahead with two strikes. I make them chase."
McLaughlin's tag team partner in the circle all season, sophomore Jenna Best, delivered one of her best performances in Game 2, limiting Shenandoah to a run on six hits to toss her 11th complete game and finish with a 10-5 mark as the Jackets took a 4-1 victory in Game 2. Simon backed her up with a lead-off home run in the first, then plated Best on a sacrifice fly in the fourth.
Sam Moore (Patrick Henry) hit her ODAC-leading 10th homer of the season also in the first inning of the victory. Moore leads the ODAC in slugging percentage at an astounding .812. With four hits on the day, Simon finished the season with 53 overall.
Randolph-Macon now travels to Salem to begin ODAC Tournament play on Friday with their seeding up in the air. Currently in fourth place, they have a chance to overtake Randolph College for the third seed if the Wildcats lose both games of a Wednesday afternoon doubleheader at Guilford, held after press time.
Why is this important? The fourth seed is in the same bracket as top-seeded Virginia Wesleyan, who are 33-5 and have only allowed 22 runs all season. The third seed avoids a possible matchup with the Marlins until the championship round.
Either way, with plenty of offensive potential, a freshman pitcher playing beyond her years, and help from unlikely sources, Randolph-Macon has what it takes to make a statement in Salem.

Former VC students are encouraged to attend the weekend's festivities, which will include a VC Pirates women's volleyball game, individual program receptions and a Memory Lane exhibit filled with VC memorabilia. The event will conclude with an alumni reception Saturday evening.
"Alumni Reunion Weekend 2011 will be a great opportunity for VC alumni to reconnect and reminisce about their experiences at VC," said VC Development Director Cara Frederick.
"We want to get the word out early so our alumni can start making preparations to attend," said Frederick. "This will give everyone plenty of time to tell their former classmates about the reunion so they can also make plans to attend."
Reunion attendees are encouraged to bring their VC memorabilia to be placed on display in the Memory Lane exhibit. An alumni reception will also give former VC students an opportunity to share their stories about the people, places and events that made their time at VC memorable.

Women in Printing — It's a Man's World (Not!)
May 2008 By Cheryl AdamsManaging Editor
Allegra Print & Imaging
Scottsdale, AZ
In 1982, when Eileen Rogers had her resumé printed (not copied), she walked into a small print shop in Scottsdale and essentially never left.
She took a job at the local Allegra Print & Imaging, which had just opened the year before, and began learning the operation inside-out.
"One day, the owner concocted a deal that offered me equity ownership and options to buy more, if I could grow sales and meet some other goals," Rogers recalls. "Thirteen years later, I owned 100 percent of the company."
Today, under Rogers' leadership, the operation employs 14 people and reported revenues of $2.3 million in 2007. Additionally, the firm merged with a local digital printer in October and has emerged as a digital marketing services pioneer in both the Phoenix market and within the Allegra franchise.
"With both traditional and digital presses, the latest in cross-media marketing applications, Web-to-print technologies, variable data printing and a great team of dedicated people," says Rogers, "we are poised to grow and thrive over the next 10 years."
Rogers believes in making a difference every day. Currently she serves on the boards of Homeward Bound and Planned Parenthood of Arizona, as well as the Housing Board and the Human Services Commission for the City of Scotts-dale. In 2000, she was named the ATHENA Award recipient from the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, which honors one woman each year for community service, business success and mentoring of other women.
Her real passion is traveling, and Rogers has combined that with her personal mission of creating joy and enriching lives. Through an organization called The Foundation for Global Leadership, whose mission is to expose American professionals to emerging democracies, she has led delegations of professionals to Uganda, Rwanda, South Africa, Cambodia and Kenya—with another delegation planned for Nepal in November.
Ramsey Press
Mahwah, NJ
Unlike some printing industry execs whose careers have taken them here, there and everywhere, Nicole Colon's entire 30-year career has been with Ramsey Press. She started out as a child helping out at her father's shop, eventually running a two-color press, estimating jobs and preparing financial information.
When her father passed away in 1997, Colon and her partner, Patrick Pagani, purchased the company from her father's estate. At that time, Ramsey Press had annual sales of $600,000 and employed seven people. In the last 10 years, Colon and Pagani have built Ramsey Press into a corporation that bills $6 million annually and employs 38 people.
As president, Colon has overseen several achievements: Ramsey Press is the only commercial printer in the world (according to Colon) to achieve third-party certifications as 1) a woman-owned business enterprise 2) a G7 Master Printer and 3) a "green" printer tri-certified by the FSC, SFI and PEFC. Ramsey Press was also recognized as one of New Jersey's top women-owned businesses in 2007.
But what Colon is most proud of is the "intangible atmosphere" of the company. She says that employees are treated very well, like part of the family, and have developed tremendous pride in the fact that they work for Ramsey Press.
Adrienne Myers
Art & Negative Graphics
Lanham, MD
Adrienne Myers began her printing career in 1978 as a proofreader at her father's printing company, Valley Typesetting, then as a typesetter, a job she held for 10 years. In 1981, Myers and her husband decided to start their own prepress company, Art & Negative, in a garage behind her father's business.
Over the years, Myers took over total ownership of the company and expanded to a 10,000-square-foot facility in Bladensburg, MD. By then, Art & Negative, which now employed 15, was providing color scanning, image retouching and computerized film output. The company continued to prosper, servicing commercial printers, advertising agencies, associations and corporate clients.
"The prepress industry started to decline in 1999," Myers opines. "I was contemplating early retirement, but my two sons loved printing, and they wanted me to expand."
In 2001, she invested $4 million, purchasing a range of new equipment from prepress to bindery. In 2007, the company expanded again to 58,000 square feet, and a new Xerox iGen3 digital press, Web-to-print software and two more Heidelbergs (one a DI press) took center stage.
Besides investing in high-tech equipment, she believes having a close-knit team of employees has been another advantage. Myers gives credit for all of Art & Negative's success to her employees. She says they've stuck with her through thick and thin. And that sentiment is 10-fold toward her family.
"My biggest joy is being able to work with two of my sons, James Myers and Jason Wilburn. Not many parents get the chance to see their children every day."
3G Graphic Solutions
Springfield, OH
Jeanne Lampe describes herself as a "hands-on" owner. Considering the corporation she owns consists of six separate operations, her hands must be "on" most of the time.
Lampe is the third generation in her family to own the business, formerly known as Charles E. Miller and Son, then Miller Printing, then Graphic Paper Products, which it has been since 1974. Earlier this year, Lampe changed the name to 3G Graphic Solutions.
Miller Printing, which has been an "institution" in Springfield since 1891, is the most well-known of the six companies that form 3G Graphic Solutions. The other companies are now organized as following: Miller Printing and Armstrong Printing fall under 3G Printing Solutions; Springfield Packaging and Rhoades Paper Box fall under 3G Packaging Solutions; and Barrett Brothers and Visual Education fall under 3G Specialty Publishing. Combined, the company's annual revenues are $12 million.
"We chose the name 3G to stand for third-generation," explains Lampe. "My grandfather bought the business in 1940, my father took over ownership in 1949, and now I'm the third generation."
Over the years, she has worked in many of the company's divisions, especially Miller Printing, where she currently serves as general manager—in addition to being president, CEO and owner of the entire 3G Graphic Solutions corporation.
"Each time the company made an acquisition, my father told me to 'go run it.' So, I did," concludes Lampe. "In retrospect, running all of those businesses was the best education I could have ever had."
21st Century Finishing
Saddle Brook, NJ
21st Century Finishing, in business since 1990, was initially geared for foil stamping and hologram applications. When Karen DeMaio joined the company in 1998, she believed that "there was more to finishing than just stamping."
After two years of hearing about competitors' accomplishments, she wanted to establish 21st Century Finishing as a force in the industry.
"I asked a lot of questions; I wanted to know how everything worked," she recalls. So she began answering phones, performing customer service, doing estimates and billing, and even ran machinery when things got busy.
Integrity and a lot of hard work have paid off for DeMaio, who rose through the ranks at 21st Century Finishing. With that came many hurdles, but eventually the business began to grow dramatically. Now a full-fledged finishing operation, the company has 38 employees and boasts sales in excess of $6 million.
In 2007, DeMaio reached the highlight of her career by becoming part-owner and president of 21st Century Finishing. "I have a great group of people who work as a team to make sure mistakes are at a minimum, that each job goes out with the best quality possible, and who make sure the customer comes first.
"My reward is seeing a dream come to fruition and knowing that there is still more to accomplish," DeMaio declares. "My successes are attributed to knowing that, with the right team of people, we can accomplish whatever we choose."
Bayside Printing
After starting her own printing business out of a garage, struggling and pinching pennies, and selling print by word of mouth for five, long, grueling years, Rose Mary Bundscho finally found her miracle. She witnessed her tiny, three-employee company, Bayside Printing, begin to turn a profit in 1978.
By the mid '90s, Bundscho had dozens of employees, a bunch of equipment and had built an addition on the garage. Still, Bayside Printing needed a lot more room. Plans were made to buy land, build a 24,000-square-foot plant and purchase three new Heidelberg presses.
In 1997, Bayside moved into its new building, installed the new presses and added mailing services to its operation. Business was booming.
Then came September 11, 2001. Business started slowing due to the subsequent recession. Then came the Enron scandal, which negatively impacted many businesses in the Houston area, including Bayside Printing. Then came Hurricane Allison, which caused even more economic problems.
As if these things weren't heartache enough, Bundscho's husband/business partner was stressed out from the financial strain of the struggling shop and wanted a divorce.
Her friends, family and co-workers rallied around her, helping Bundscho to start turning things around (again). She got a $75,000 personal loan and learned quickly how to make every little bit count. Once a week, she even had to lay off workers, which, she says, literally made her feel sick to her stomach.
From 2001 to 2005, Bundscho struggled, working seven days a week, selling print, rebuilding her business, rebuilding her credit, getting new loans and paying off all that pre-9/11-purchased equipment.
"You know the old saying, 'What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.' I'm living proof of that. I'm a better business owner because of my experiences. My family, friends, business partners and many dedicated employees worked hard to help me. I've been very blessed."
Today, those blessings continue. The equipment is paid off, and Bundscho is investing in new technology, most recently a five-color Kodak Nexpress 2100 digital press. The digital portion of her business is outpacing traditional offset, and the mailing operation makes up about 25 percent of the business.
"I'm back on top, again. I've got 40 happy employees, who have good salaries, 401(k)s, profit sharing, healthcare and a lot of other benefits. Life is good. Today, we're better off than ever."
Vice President, Sales/Marketing
Huston Patterson
Decatur, IL
Tonya Kowa-Morelli is the third-generation printer in her family, but she's the first woman to be taking (partial) reins. Her grandfather and father both owned the business and someday it will, more than likely, be her turn to take over.
After graduating from college and trying her hand at health insurance sales for a few years, Kowa-Morelli joined her family business in April 2004 as a graphic consultant. Since then, she has held many positions, including client services manager, director of sales/special products division, director of marketing and, most recently, vice president of sales and marketing.
Huston Patterson, which opened its doors in 1895 printing the local newspaper, Herald & Review, was purchased by Robert Kowa in 1961, then taken over by his son Thomas Kowa (Kowa-Morelli's father) in 1991. Today, Huston Patterson is one of the leading package printing companies in North America.
Huston Patterson is parent company to Sigma Graphics. Together, the two firms employ 110, and their combined annual sales exceeded $28.5 million in 2007.
As the vice president of sales and marketing, Kowa-Morelli has many responsibilities, including actively selling print in the Southwest. She is known throughout the firm for bringing youth and enthusiasm to the sales force, and often travels with each sales rep, assisting them with client relationships.
Wearing many different hats, Kowa-Morelli encounters challenges and rewards, but feels that the rewards outweigh the struggles.
"Being a woman in a male-dominated industry does seem to have hurdles," she says. "However, having an open mind and awareness of that keeps me well grounded. I look at challenges as detours, but rarely is there a dead end." PI

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Cobb!
Facts about Cobb
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Cobb's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, a special needs pet, in need of an experienced adopter, and up to date with shots.
Howdy! Cobb here. I just arrived at the ranch. I was picked up as a stray by the shelter. I was somebody's baby at one point, but they never chipped or gave me tags to let anyone know how important I was to them, so they never found my humans.
I'm an older boy (6-7 years old) and have clear signs of cataracts, so the shelter knew I wouldn't get adopted … and decided not to network or save me. I'm a great little guy, but I was immediately redlined because of those things … until Mama Donna found out about me and decided that wasn't going to happen. I deserve a second chance with someone who deserves me more.
I had kennel cough and had to wait a little while to recoup in foster care and until this place had room for me, but here I am! Ready to roll to a great home! Despite my age and cloudy eyes, I still see, smell and love full-heartedly like a little boy. I have some anxiety issues over what I've been through and have licked the fur off of my front legs. I'll get over this, the more comfortable I get here and, especially, when I get back into a comfortable home.
I am heartworm negative, neutered, walk very well on a leash, love people and seem to do fairly well around other dogs.
Other Pets at Georgia Jack Russell Rescue, Adoption & Sanctuary
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cobb, a Conyers Jack Russell Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier for sale in Conyers, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier dog from a breeder in Conyers.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Conyers 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 Conyers 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 Jack Russell Terrier breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Conyers paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Battle of New Orleans
On January 8, 1815, during the War of 1812, British forces suffered more than 2,000 casualties in their attack on New Orleans. The defending U.S. forces were led by General Andrew Jackson who became a national hero as a result. Ironically, neither side knew that the war had already ended two weeks before with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent.

Emancipation Proclamation 150th Anniversary
President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. It declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free." Every advance of Union troops into the Confederacy expanded former slaves' freedom. Additionally, the Proclamation allowed black men into the military, and by the end of the Civil War almost 200,000 black soldiers and sailors had joined and fought for the Union cause.

Steven Spielberg's highly anticipated new film Lincoln opens on November 9. Starring Daniel Day-Lewis as our 16th president, and Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln, it is inspired by Doris Kearns Goodwin's 2005 book Team of Rivals: the political genius of Abraham Lincoln. The film focuses on Lincoln's final few months in office, specifically his tireless efforts to get the 13th Amendment to the Constitution (abolishing slavery) passed.
