John DiStaso's Granite Status: Ayotte joining Ryan at Oct. 8 Guinta campaign 'kickoff' fund-raiser
According to an invitation obtained by the Granite Status, the "Kickoff Breakfast Benefiting Congressman Frank Guinta" will be hosted by Sen. Kelly Ayotte and will be held at the Radisson Hotel at about 8 a.m.
Invitees will get a "private briefing" if they contribute or raise $5,200; a photo reception if they contribute or raise $1,000, limited to two people per photo; and the general reception tickets will go for $250 or $100.
Ryan confirmed last Friday that he is supporting his former colleague, Guinta.
Ayotte is clearly now also supporting Guinta, despite the fact that he will have a likely GOP primary with outgoing University of New Hampshire business school dean Dan Innis of Portsmouth.
(Earlier Granite Status reports follow.)
We've learned the Guinta announcement is imminent, and when it comes, you can expect him to focus on ending the Washington gridlock, on finding common ground without sacrificing principles and bringing New Hampshire-style common sense to Washington.
A NON-ISSUE. If UNH business school dean Dan Innis does in fact run for the 1st District seat against Guinta in a primary, and it's clear he is headed in that direction, he would make history as the first openly gay Republican to run for high office in the state.
State GOP Chairman Jennifer Horn said that although the party platform recognizes marriage as being between one man and one woman, "we realize that there are good, well-intentioned people on both sides of this issue" and the party is focused on fiscal issues.Steve Duprey, a former party chairman, said, "To most Republicans, it's not someone's sexual orientation that counts, but their competence and vision for the future."
"It's a part of who I am," he said, "but that's it."
More important, he said, are "fiscal responsibility, smaller government, and freedom and liberty to our people. Those things are universal.
He said he is personally opposed to abortion and supports the 20-week abortion ban that recently passed the House, but beyond that, he believes it's a matter for a woman and her doctor.
He has already acknowledged he voted in the 2012 Democratic gubernatorial primary - for Jackie Cilley, the former state senator who refused to pledge to veto broad-based taxes and was easily defeated by Gov. Maggie Hassan.
But he then pulled GOP ballots in the 2010 state primary election and in the 2012 presidential primary.
Innis had no comment on his voting beyond his earlier statement to WMUR television that he is a registered Republican and has long supported the GOP, but has donated to Republicans and Democrats and has "some friends and colleagues who are Democrats, like Jackie Cilley and (state) Senator David Watters."
- - - - - - --
VULNERABLE JEANNE? Democrats can't be entirely at ease with the results of the Public Policy Polling survey of Granite Staters released last week.
What's more, Shaheen doesn't break 50 percent in job performance approval. The numbers were 49 percent approving and 42 percent disapproving. That's a bit better than Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte's rating, who's performance was approved by 41 percent and disapproved by 45 percent.
PPP says it polled 1,038 New Hampshire voters from Sept. 13 to 16. It says independents comprised 39 percent of its sample, Democrats 31 percent, and Republicans 30 percent.
Hassan received approval of her job performance by 51 percent of those polled, while 33 percent disapproved and 17 percent were not sure.

Liriano, Cueto set for Wild Card rematch
After doubleheader on Tuesday, Reds and Bucs look to settle series
The Pirates and the Reds will wind up 22 hours of concentrated baseball early Wednesday afternoon with the rubber game of their series.
The "rubber" does not refer to the shoe-covering for snowy conditions, since frigid temperatures and the white stuff will move out of the Queen City, but to the deciding game of the set after the teams split the first two.
Both decisions were rendered Tuesday, starting with the 5:30 p.m. ET conclusion of Monday night's suspended game, leading to the rarity of three outcomes possibly within 24 hours.
The Reds will be after their first series win of the season, and the Bucs will be trying to make it four out of five. It could be a tall order for both of the day's pitchers.
Pittsburgh's Francisco Liriano absorbed three of his eight losses last season against the Reds. And Cincinnati's Johnny Cueto went into the offseason with 40,000 Pirates fans' chant of his name ringing in his ears.
That, of course, occurred during the National League Wild Card game in PNC Park, which Cueto lost, 6-2.
Cueto has been the picture of consistency early this season, and remains winless despite a 2.14 ERA in three starts only because the Reds have scored one run while he has been on the mound.
"That's something I can't control," said Cueto. "That's up to the other part of the team. I always say I have to do my job. I have to throw seven, eight innings. I have to do my job and they have to do their job."
Cueto has done the seven-inning part every time out, allowing 13 hits and five runs in those 21 innings, in which he has fanned 23.
Then, he has repeatedly been one of the league's toughest hitters when healthy, with a sub-3.00 ERA every season since 2011.
In the Pirates' 15th game, Liriano will attempt to become the team's second starting pitcher to register a win. Gerrit Cole owns the rotation's only two wins, with five others having been picked up by the bullpen.
Pirates: All guts and glory
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle's gut instincts appear to be in fine working order. Bypassing lefty-hitting Travis Ishikawa in the platoon arrangement, he has given Gaby Sanchez two consecutive starts against right-handers.
Despite a mediocre .222 (4-for-18) composite average against Homer Bailey and Mike Leake, Sanchez came through with a homer and a pair of RBIs against them in the first two games of the series.
"A batting average can read .200 but if you dig deeper, you might find four hard-hit balls without hits, or some at-bats with more than five pitches," Hurdle said. "There's different things to look at. You also have to go with what our eyes and gut tell us."
Reds: Phillips off to hot start
Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips has a seven-game hitting streak going after he went 2-for-5 on Tuesday. Phillips has hit safely in 12 of his 14 games played this season and is hitting .328 with one homer and three RBIs overall for Cincinnati.
Liriano should provide a good test for Phillips' hot streak. Phillips is 3-for-14 (.214) with one RBI in his career against the left-hander.
Worth noting
• By staying in the park for the true final three innings of Monday night's suspended game, the Bucs fell short of matching their club record of seven homers, accomplished only one time in the last 67 years, on Aug. 20, 2003. Previously, the Pirates had also homered seven times on Aug. 16, 1947 against St. Louis and on June 6, 1894 against the Boston Beaneaters.
• Devin Mesoraco has a Reds-leading nine RBIs in six games since returning from the disabled list.

One cannot help but make comparisons between Troma and Full Moon, the two major low budget horror production companies out there. They both make the same type of oddball cheesy flicks and they even both have an outspoken figurehead who will never let you forget that they created either a series of movies involving killer puppets or a radioactive superhero nerd. Naturally, when you compare two things, you end up asking yourself which one is better and that's exactly what I want to know from you guys this week.
Which studio do you prefer, Troma or Full Moon, and why?
While it may surprise you being that I interned for Troma last year and while I would probably rather go on a man date with Lloyd Kaufman than Charles Band, I actually favor Full Moon over Troma. Truth be told, I never was the hugest fan of Troma and I tend to not find much humor or merit in their films. Yes, I do love flicks like The Toxic Avenger and Mother's Day, but the majority of their films fall flat for me. Take for example Poultrygeist, perhaps Troma's most critically acclaimed movie in their vast library. I hated it. I didn't find it funny and I didn't find it entertaining in any way. I just found it stupid. I feel like i'm the kinda dude who should totally be into Troma's offbeat and immature sense of humor, but I kinda just don't get it, often finding it to be more on the stupid side than the funny side.
Now Full Moon on the other hand, I dig a lot of their stuff. Castle Freak is an awesome and underrated horror flick, The Gingerdead Man is one of my favorite so bad it's good horror comedies, and The Creeps is a childhood favorite that will always hold a special place in my heart. Throw on top of that the Puppet Masters and Subspecies and you've got the main reason I dig the company more than I do Troma - quite simply because I like more of their stuff. Good or bad, I always seem to have fun with Full Moon, and I can't often say the same about Troma. That's what it all boils down to in the end.
So which studio do you prefer? Leave a comment and let me know!
By the way, this topic popped into my head because of the package I received in the mail today...
(There would be a picture of the following DVD's here, but my camera is dead and I can't find the charger - Gingerdead Man, Gingerdead Man 2, Castle Freak, The Creeps, Evil Bong, Evil Bong 2)
All for only 25 bucks thanks to Full Moon's half off Valentine's weekend sale! I swear, that incredible sale didn't bias my opinion on this topic.

Editors' note: On October 12, 2011, Apple provided a free software update for the iPod Touch bringing new apps and several refinements to existing features. Visit CNET's iPhone Atlas for an in-depth look at these changes.
Portions of this review are taken from CNET's review of the 2010 iPod Touch.
Apple's latest version of the iPod Touch hasn't changed dramatically from the model first introduced in 2007, but the rest of the tech world has. It's now the age of the "app," the iPad, and smartphones both big and small. The iPod Touch shouldn't apologize for being Apple's "iPhone without a phone" anymore; it's just as valid to call it an iPad that fits in your pocket.
Available in either white or black and priced at $199 (8GB), $299 (32GB), and $399 (64GB), Apple's iPod Touch maintains all of the core essential features that have made the iPod great over the years, such as music playback, photos, video, podcasts, audiobooks, and games. Many of the new marquee features found in the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 are also here, including iMessages, iCloud support, an HD camcorder and FaceTime video calls, and more.
And while the iPod Touch is lagging slightly behind the iPad and iPhone in terms of its technology (slower processor, no GPS, no 3G capability), it offers the least expensive entry point into Apple's iOS ecosystem, bringing with it a world of entertainment that is unmatched at this price.
The only visual difference between the iPod Touch launched in 2009 and the one launched in 2010 is the availability of a white model. Beyond that, the hardware is entirely unchanged. The software has been overhauled, but we'll get to that in a minute.
The back of the Touch has a camera lens in the upper-left corner, along with a pinhole microphone. The camera placement is nearly identical to the iPhone 4's camera, though the cameras themselves differ. The camera used on the Touch is strictly designed for video recording, but it can be made to capture still frames, whereas the iPhone's camera pulls equal weight as both a photo camera (5-megapixel sensor, LED flash, HDR support) and an HD camcorder.
The iPod's front-facing camera is placed above the screen and behind the glass, where the earpiece would normally be found on a mobile phone. An integrated speaker is also included on the Touch, located behind a tiny speaker grille on the bottom edge of the device, along with a standard dock connection and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The rest is just as you'd expect. There's a Home button below the capacitive touch screen, which still measures 3.5 inches diagonally. At 3.56 ounces, this is the lightest iOS device money can buy, feeling practically invisible in your pocket. Score one for the skinny jeans.
Hardware features
Unsurprisingly, the iPod Touch continues its neck-and-neck, spec-to-spec race with the iPhone. Features that made headlines when they made their iPhone 4 debut have trickled over to the iPod Touch without much fanfare, but are no less impressive. You get the same A4 processor, same three-axis gyro sensor, and a Retina Display that uses an impressive 960x640-pixel resolution at a dense 326 pixels per inch. You still can't make cell phone calls on the Touch, surf over a 3G connection, or receive a GPS signal, but the gap between the Touch and the iPhone is smaller than ever.
One basic iPhone feature Touch users have missed out on for some time now is an integrated microphone. The fourth-gen Touch solves the problem with a mono microphone on the back that picks up sound equally in every direction (i.e., omnidirectional). The addition of the microphone is ostensibly there for the adjacent camcorder and FaceTime video-calling feature (see below), but also works with features such as the Voice Memos app and third-party VoIP and audio-recording apps that previously required a compatible headset or microphone accessory.
The camera on the back supports HD video recording up to 720p at 30 frames per second. The resulting video file is h.264 QuickTime MP4, which can be edited directly on the device using the basic trim feature or the more advanced iMovie editor (available for $4.99). You can sync your recordings back to your computer using the included USB cable, or send the results directly from the Touch using e-mail, or an upload to YouTube. We also have to give points to the Touch for being able to embed roughly estimated geotag information to your photos and videos, provided you keep the Wi-Fi antenna on.
The front-facing camera is convenient for self-portraits and video calling, but its VGA resolution (640x480 pixels) can't compete with the HD camera on the back. A toggle button on the touch screen allows you to seamlessly toggle between the two cameras.
Both cameras are capable of taking still shots as well, but the results don't hold up to the 5-megapixel camera (with LED flash) found on the iPhone 4. Essentially, these photos are simply video stills, which equate to a 960x720-pixel resolution using the camera on the back, or 640x480 pixels using the self-portrait cam. You get the same tap-to-focus capabilities found on the iPhone 4, but the shots won't make your digital camera jealous.
Overall, the iPod Touch works well as a pocket camcorder, though we still prefer a dedicated pocket camcorder when it comes to video quality, audio quality, and plug-and-play flexibility. That said, you can't browse the Web, download apps, or e-mail your friends from a Flip, so keep that in mind.
Gaming is a big part of the iPod Touch's appeal, due in part to the improved display, additional three-axis gyro sensor, and A4 processor performance boost that arrived in 2009. The breadth of game selection available through the integrated App Store is exhaustive. Beyond the expected selection of fun, addictive casual games, such as Angry Birds, Scrabble, and Plants vs. Zombies, there's a growing number of console-quality titles, such as Mirror's Edge, Assassin's Creed, and Madden NFL 11.
It's worth noting that many of the more intense games take a big toll on the iPod's battery life. In our initial, casual testing, a new game like Mirror's Edge drained the battery to 20 percent in an hour or so of play. If gaming is going to be your primary use for an iPod Touch, it's probably worth investing in an external backup battery pack.
Another gaming feature introduced with the fourth-generation iPod Touch is an Apple-developed app named Game Center, which comes preinstalled. The Game Center app acts as a leaderboard that collects your progress and achievements for all the games installed on your iPod. It also displays the top scores and game rankings of your friends and facilitates wireless, multiplayer gameplay between your friends, or will automatch you with a random player. If you've grown tired of playing Scrabble or racing games against the computer, Game Center is Apple's way of making its game offerings more social.
Music and video
True to the iPod's legacy as a media playback device, the iPod Touch delivers just about every music and video experience you can think of. Putting aside third-party apps, such as Pandora Radio, Rhapsody music subscriptions, or Netflix video streaming, the core music and video playback capabilities are impressive in their own right. Using Apple's free iTunes software on your computer, you can sync your music collection, podcasts, audiobooks, music videos, movies, TV shows, and free educational lectures and videos from iTunes U.
If you're looking to download new music or videos, there's a direct link to the iTunes storefront within the Music app now, as well as on the home screen of the iPod Touch, offering everything from albums and podcasts, to TV shows and movie rentals. The same storefront can be found inside the iTunes software on your computer (though the app version is much faster to load), and any purchases made either on the device or using the software all ultimately sync up back to your computer.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
The Financial Aid Office reviews Academic Progress for students using the criteria listed in the Federal Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. Students are reviewed for Title IV progress at the end of term of enrollment, including Summer.
Pennsylvania State Grant (PHEAA)
Academic Progress as defined by PHEAA. For additional information refer to www.pheaa.org.
A student is required to successfully complete a minimum of six (6) semester credits per semester (or the equivalent) for each part-time State Grant received and a minimum of twelve (12) semester credits per semester (or the equivalent) for each full-time State Grant received. Credits earned for repeat courses which were previously counted when State Grant progress was verified cannot be counted again. Academic progress is confirmed by the financial aid administrator at your school at the end of each academic year; failure to meet the minimum requirements means that you are ineligible for further State Grant aid until you have successfully completed the required number of credits. For example, a student receiving a full-time State Grant during the Fall semester and a part-time State Grant during the Spring semester must successfully complete a minimum of eighteen (18) semester credits before being eligible for any further State Grant aid. Full-time students progressing at the rate of only twenty-four (24} semester credits per year (or the equivalent), while meeting the minimum State Grant progress standard, will utilize all of their State Grant eligibility before completing their program. If you have any questions regarding your academic progress or credits which may be counted toward State Grant academic progress, you should contact your school financial aid administrator.
Most institutional scholarships require a 3.0 QPA or to meet the minimum Federal Satisfactory Academic Policy requirements. All other awards are reviewed on an individual basis as defined by the award criteria. We will inform you via your student Cal U email account and the Student Vulcan Information Portal if your current eligibility or renewal eligibility is not meeting the established minimum requirements.

The land of Grundele is the magical place located south of the balls and north of your anus. It is overly populated by wild stray pubes. The aroma generated by the grundel is one of myth and legand. Many men go days on end without showering in order to raise the Potency of their grundele smell. Purfume was originally thought to have orginated in trying to mimic the amazing smell of the sacred strip of skin.
After an exahusting workout Tom reached down and brushed his hand ever so gently over his grundle, smelling it gave him his greatest sense of accomplishment.

Comments about Body Glove Men's RS-2 Vest:
This is a great vest for lake kayaking, paddleboards and close to shore water activities, but it is a Type III "floatation" device so not so good for rougher water situations. Very comfortable and easy to adjust the size.

"Feed My Sheep"
Cathedral Dean Fr. Fouad Saba reports that in this last year, St. George Cathedral in Coral Gables, FL heard loud and clear this call of the Lord. In less than 10 months, the Diocese of Miami and the Southeast's Cathedral has collected and distributed near $100,000.00 in monetary aid and supplies. Some of the recipients include:
Archbishop Victor Abo-Assaly led the Antiochian Archdiocese from 1924 until his death from cancer in 1934. He is remembered as a saintly leader, one who ministered with prayer and great kindness. In a July 14, 2014 article by Matthew Namee for The Society for Orthodox Christian History in the Americas (SOCHA), readers are reminded of his legacy. Mr. Namee also requests that readers speak with senior members of their parishes in order to glean memories of Archbishop Victor, so that they can be recorded for posterity. Those who know senior citizens who can share memories or photographs, are encouraged to contact Matthew or other members of SOCHA.
"He is is at risk of being forgotten by his spiritual descendants," writes Mr. Namee, since "anyone who would remember him is probably at least 85 or 90 years old now. We've no doubt lost more memories than we can save, but let's get to work now and save what we can while there is still time."
SOCHA exists to promote the study of the history of the Orthodox Christian Church in the New World; to collect source materials and make them available to researchers and scholars; to disseminate historical information to the public; and to encourage networking among those engaged in the study of American Orthodox history.
The International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) continues to alleviate the suffering caused by the ongoing strife in the Middle East, both in the new conflict that has arisen in Gaza, and in Syria, where people have lived for several years under civil war. (Donate through the IOCC's online portal.)
In the Gaza Strip, the most intense violence in nearly two years has claimed over 100 lives, including 23 children, injured more than 800 people, leaving families with damaged and destroyed homes. IOCC representatives are assessing the emerging humanitarian needs of those caught in the conflict, notes the article "IOCC Mobilizes to Provide Urgent Relief for Families Caught in Gaza Conflict."
An article about malnourished Syrian children in Lebanon's refugee camps notes that "since January, IOCC has screened more than 13,000 Syrian refugee children for malnutrition and provided treatment to those in need of emergency nutrition. IOCC's health workers are also taking preventive measures with new mothers...by counseling them on the importance of emergency nutrition and breastfeeding for their young children."

In 1967 The United Theological College of Montreal conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity honoris causa.

The 14th Annual Orthodox Women's Retreat in Canada will be held at the Entheos Retreat Centre just outside of Calgary, Alberta, on September 19-21, 2014.
"We are thankful to once again be able to offer this weekend filled with spiritual nourishment, and to provide an opportunity for the women in our Church community to worship, learn and to share in each other's lives," notes the brochure, which also includes a registration form and the schedule for the weekend.

Baltimore, MD (IOCC) — In the second half of the month of June, 2014, rivers across the Midwest surged over their banks, flooding cities and sweeping away summer crops as they failed to contain record summer rains that fell during the early summer. Floodwaters engulfed much of Minnesota, including Minneapolis and St. Paul, in some of the worst flooding in decades. The state's governor declared a state of emergency as homes and businesses as well as vast stretches of farmland across 35 counties were submerged under several feet of water.
International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) mobilized to respond to the emergency needs of flood survivors in the region. IOCC Emergency Response Network volunteers as well as the local Orthodox Christian community sprang into action, with more than a dozen teens and adults from St. Mary's Greek Orthodox Church in Minneapolis traveling to Rock Rapids to roll up their sleeves and help clear out waterlogged debris from flooded homes.
The IOCC is on the scene, helping the victims of disasters in the United States, like the Midwest floods. The United States Emergency Response Fund provides immediate relief as well as long-term support through the provision of emergency aid, recovery assistance and other support to help those in need.

The conference was organized and hosted by the parish of St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church of Boston.

With over 300 people in attendance throughout the four days, the PLC proved to be a tremendous success.
Some highlights included lively question and answer sessions led by His Grace Bishop John (Abdalah) as well as daily Bible studies, divine services and inspirational homilies led by our beloved Diocesan clergy. The teens of our Diocese showcased their knowledge and talents at the annual Bible Bowl and Oratorical Festivals.
A letter from His Grace Bishop Gregory of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese, liaison from the Assembly of Bishops of the U.S.A. to the Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF), concerning the Church's joint ministry to our Orthodox college students:
Dear Reverend Fathers:
As many of you know, the loss of our Christian youth is a staggering problem today in our country. Statistics show us that more than 80% of our young people are graduating high school, going to college and never returnlng to their faith group. l do not mean their parish or community, but their faith. In other words, more than 6 out of 10 Orthodox young adults will abandon Orthodoxy. This is a huge challenge for all of us.
As the official campus ministry of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America, Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) works on behalf of all Orthodox to connect students to Christ and His Church during college. Through its campus-based chapters, regional events and programs such as College Conference and Real Break, OCF engages Orthodox college students across the continent in fellowship, education, worship, and service.

New Church Doesn't Seem Right
Today I went to the local Catholic Church. It was a beautifu l modern church. Everything looked perfect. So why did I not feel right here? No one welcomed me to the church. I smiled and tried to strike up conversations but no takers. The service seemed like it had been rehersed down to the letter. The Priest played a very small part in the entire ceremony. He didn't even look happy to be there.
Luckily there is another Catholic Church within driving distance I am planning on trying next week. It may be a little farther away but I hope it is a much better fit.
Has anyone else ever felt like this when trying out a church?
