The Storm I've Been Waiting For
Okay, okay, I admit I'm a little bit of a Chicken Little alarmist at times. The sky did not fall, the roof did not collapse, the winds finally died down and we woke up in the morning to a Winter Wonderland outside the door.

Stay warm and safe!
You take better pictures then I do. I'm 20 miles SW of Joliet. I haven't seen anything like this in years. I'm glad your enjoying it. I haven't been able to get out the front door. Connie204ReplyDelete
You are welcome to spend some time at my house, I live in Maine and we have been averaging 1-2 storms each week for most of January. The storms have been mostly during the middle of the week so you should consider flying in on Sunday or Monday, LOL. I have a woodstove and generator so we can sew with no worries about power outages. Come on down!ReplyDelete
As a matter of fact I just purchased your newest book and am anxious start one of the quilts! Love the Civil War and I am acquiring quite a stash that would be great for some of your smaller projects, very nice book!
Love your new book have looked and set and wonder when I'll ever get anything done and then all the snow came yesterday so have been sewing take a break sew break sew and on and on have a grate day sewingReplyDelete
we had it easy this time in the Philadephia area, just a sheet of ice on everything this morning and a 2 hour delay for school and work. I made my sons walk me to the car so I wouldn't slip (I sign of getting old). Temps are up and everything is melting now.ReplyDelete
Wishes DO come true, so always be careful on how you use them.ReplyDelete
Glad to hear that you are safe and have power and essentials like the internet and TV. ;oD
WOW be careful what you wish for lol! it certainly looks like a gorgeous winter wonderland, Kathy! love the pics of you too lol!!ReplyDelete
btw cyclone Yasi has caused great devastation to our northern neighbours..still ongoing!
we're fortunate down south however, there's a raging bushfire creating havoc & heartbreak in the far eastern part of Victoria...such unreal extremes!
Aren't husbands special?? Cute photos, they remind me of our years in the Eastern Sierra Mountains 8000 ft. elev. The snow used to reach our roof top of second story on a good winter. Got your book in the mail last week and love it...Wish I could start one of the lovely quilts now but I am trying to stay on task..Stay warm!ReplyDelete
to me as long as the power stays on it's fun to get snowed in for a few days-you can sew, live in your jammies and not worry about someone dropping in unexpectantly!ReplyDelete
hihihi quite agree with Diane! Enjoy making those stitches and maybe you get inspired by all that snow and may a little snowman quilt, just a tiny one hihi!! Or a tiny snowball quilt hihi!! Enjoy!! hugs, DaniëlleReplyDelete
After weeks of snow you will not be so happy anymore LOL... I am so glad the snow is gone here in the Netherlands!!ReplyDelete
But it looks great!
hugs, jolanda
I heard about the storms in America..I couldn't believe that 30 states were involved.ReplyDelete
You are such a good samaritan to tromp out to the bird feeders in the snow to take care of your feathered friends.ReplyDelete
Yes I AM! I always try to keep the feeders filled and even distributed some stale nuts (left over from Christmas) to the squirrels today too . . . along with some dried cranberries that no one here wanted anymore.ReplyDelete
Your house looks a lot like mine ....Snow up to the hood of my car. Couldn't get out my door cause of the snow drifts. AND my cable and internet went out. :(ReplyDelete
Wow, I have never experienced a white winter, but seeing your photos, give me a better understanding of how pretty it is, but annoying - shovelling is not my favorite job! Hope the power stays on so you can keep warm and sewing, happy quilting Sue SA.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Yep, it's safe to say, your house looks like ours did a week ago! Between your pre-shovelling and then post-shovelling photos I think I could just photoshop myself in there somewhere an no one would know it wasn't here in Alberta! There is a drift in our backyard covering the gardens... There was a shovel left standing upright in one of the beds before this last storm came, afterwards all we could see was the top of the handle! Stay warm and happy stitching!ReplyDelete

"Pit Bull." There is no other breed of dog—or arguably, any other animal at all—whose mere mention can elicit such strong opinions. Try a word-associate game with your friends: Ask them what they think of when you say "Pit Bull." Chances are that by the numbers, their responses will be more negative than positive. And it's no wonder: No other type of dog is as widely banned from housing, legislated against, or incorrectly vilified by the media.
How did we get here?
Pit Bulls were once widely considered ideal family pets—affectionate, loyal and gentle with children. But in recent years, these dogs have suffered tremendously from a combination of overbreeding, bad publicity and irresponsible owners. In reality, the overwhelming majority of Pits and Pit mixes are sweet goofballs who have gotten a very bad rap.
Learn the truth.
National Pit Bull Awareness Day, on October 27, is a day of appreciation and education designed to change perceptions and stereotypes about Pit Bulls and their responsible owners. Please take a moment to learn the truth about these wonderful dogs and consider rescuing one of them from a shelter.
Are you a proud Pit Bull parent? Please participate in National Pit Bull Awareness Day, and help us dispel the myths about these dogs by leaving a comment below about your wonderful pooch.
Three years ago i rescued an abandoned pit bull a few months old.
She only weighed in at a whopping 11 pounds. It was unfathomanable how emaciated she was. As i nursed her back to health and decided to keep her, i am grateful everyday for that decision. She is named Angel and truly is just that. Her personality makes me smile when i feel i don't have anything else to smile about; her loyalty squeezes my heart every day. I would not take anything for this wonderful animal. Every chance i get i tell anyone who will listen just how wonderful a breed this breed is.
As a shelter operations manager, I was privileged to work with these beautiful, misunderstood dogs. I was initially leery, but came to see them for the affectionate, sweet, loyal animals that they are. We adopted out many to carefully screened, loving homes and continuously received positive updates and inspiring photos. My favorite was of a pit named Trudie carefully cradling a newborn. Clearly, she had taken on the roll of baby sitter. I hope to own a pit bull as soon as the ban is lifted in my area!
We have a 4 year old pitty. He probably fits the stereotype people have made out of them. He absolutely loves his family but doesnt like strangers he tends to bite. As far as we are concerned he is a big baby he weights like 75 lbs and he's scared of storms and thinks hes a lap dog.
Belle showed up on my doorstep 7+ weeks pregnant, I ran an ad for 2 weeks with no response except the delivery of 11 puppies. After the adventure of a lifetime I rehomed all of the puppies and kept Belle. Spayed, licensed and chipped she's settled in with my household of 3 other dogs and numerous cats. She sleeps on the floor next to my bed and lets out a serious growl if she hears anyone outside. She's done nothing but lick and happytail everyone she's met. She likes the cats and other dogs...all of my neighbors have commented on what a good dog she is. She even got to meet a burro nose to nose the other night - she was sooo excited. Never a harsh sound from either of them. She is the epitomy of what pit bulls really are - sweet, loyal, fun-loving and happy dogs. She'll never leave my care.
In the mid-eighties my husband at the time found a puppy and brought it home. He told me it was a pit bull and I had never heard of the breed before. Over the next few years this pit and I became very close, not dog/owner close, but one being. She was and still is my soulmate! When people found out I had a pitbull they told me the normal stories and I did not believe this dog would ever or could ever hurt me. She slept with me, she was a lap dog and I miss her every day. When I would spend the night at my parents house she would see me packing and she would sit by the front door, because she was not letting me leave without her, not that I would. She was my first pitbull and she was not my last, but she will live in my heart forever. I had her for about 9 years before I lost her to mast-cell cancer. When I finally put her down, the vet said that she held on longer than she should have to be with me... I will always stand up for this breed! If raised correctly they are as sweet as any other dog, they just need responible mommas and pappas. I have a few boxers now and they are very similar, both very loving, loyal, lap dogs. As I write this my eyes fill with tears thinking of my soulmate and how I wish I could have had her longer, but she touched my life and soul more than any person or animal since! RIP Kaliga you are not forgotten!
we don't have pit bulls in Australia...only a mixture of english staffies, amstaffs, mastiffs....but to the idiots who don't know what a pit bull looks like they they are the ones who will yell pit bull after a labrador bights another dog as they haven't got a clue....they are lovely dogs in the right hands....just like any other dog....
On Sept. 1st., I lost the most precious dog that I have ever had. My pit bull red nose JAG. He was so loveable and friendly, he loved everyone..I will miss him till the day I die. Jag was with me for 11 1/2 years. I wish that he was still here..My heart is broken and I have a void in my life that will never heal. Some day when I think I'm ready another Jag will find me or I will find him..May my most bestest friend and love of my life rest in peace..
I took Sadie from a friend who could not keep her, she is now 5 months old. There's so much we love about her: Beautiful green eyes, her mahogany and white coat which shines like pennies, the way she snuffles, her eagerness to please. Sadie is smart as they come, quick learner. I love it that she almost never barks, except when someone comes to the door, which I want. Sadie is a happy, sweet little girl, and we look forward to socializing her, and watching her grow into a role model for the breed.

Our pitt is Dexter he is almost 2 years old and is and american terrior pit. He is like having a third child in the house. He is fun, loving, caring playful obnoxious(when hyper) and the best dog ever. He is a gaurd dog, but he just stands there barking at you. He would never bite or hurt anyone. He loves to play have treats and loves to snuggle up and cuddle with you. He weighs in at about 100lbs and is very tone. We couldnt have asked for a better member to join our family! He's great with the kids and we wouldnt trade him for the world!

Following are some of the popular books, which programmers prefer during preparation of Google interviews:
1. Algorithms For Interviews By Adnan Aziz and Amit Prakash

Firehouse Subs Sampling and Talk with the Founder
Two weeks ago, I was invited to the Firehouse Subs on Kildaire Farms Road in Cary for a night of sub sandwich and soda tasting with my blogging peers. The real draw for me was the chance to hear Robin Sorenson, who founded Firehouse Subs with his brother Chris, speak about the origins of the company, their goals, and their nonprofit work. I jumped at the chance because (a) I am not against chain stores unless they have dubious practices or a bad quality of food, and (b) I had never been to a Firehouse Subs.
The real draw for you is to leave a comment on this blog to win a $10 gift card to Firehouse Subs! First five comments will be mailed a gift card.
In case you're one of the few people in the country who also hasn't been, Firehouse Subs is decorated to resemble the inside of a firehouse with rows of firemen jackets, fake hoses, and attractive murals depicting local fire trucks and scenery.
Why the firehouse theme? Both of the Sorenson brothers are former firefighters, and Robin was inspired by the quality of eats and the sense of fellowship that came from breaking bread with his coworkers in the firehouse. I've heard legends of the skills of fireman and policemen at the stove, so I believe him. The Sorenson family has a history of entrepreneurship, so it was only natural the brothers would eventually try their hands at it. And they did, opening the first Firehouse Subs in Jacksonville, FL, in 1994.
The Firehouse Sub sandwich-building technique involves toasting the bread then adding the meat, cheese, and dressings and sending all that through a steamer. The cold toppings are added before serving the sandwich. The result is outstanding for me, but I'm a fan of messy sandwiches with lots of mayo. For my husband, it was generally too drippy. I was especially impressed with the creamy, mellow mustard they use because strong mustard can be off-putting for me. The mustard on these sandwiches was a nice complement instead.by

IANA currently distinguishes the following groups of top-level domains:
In addition, a group of internationalized domain name (IDN) top-level domains has been installed for testing purposes.
The authoritative list of currently existing TLDs in the root zone can be found at the IANA website at http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/ and a Wikipedia list exists.
Other historical TLDs are .cs for Czechoslovakia (now .cz for Czech Republic and .sk for Slovak Republic), and .zr for Zaire (now .cd for Democratic Republic of the Congo). In contrast to these, the TLD .su has remained active despite the demise of the Soviet Union that it represents, though .ru is most commonly used for Russian domains.
In 2007 eleven IDN test TLDs were created:
An older proposal consisted of seven new gTLDs .arts, .firm, .info, .nom, .rec, .shop, and .web. Later .biz, .info, .museum, and .name covered most of these old proposals.
On 26 June 2008, ICANN approved the relaxation of the rules for the introduction of new TLDs. The new rules will allow any public or private entity from anywhere in the world to register any string of letters as a gTLD. Observers believed that the new rule could result in hundreds of new gTLDs registered this year.
On 30 July 2008, the U.S. Department of Commerce reiterated the statement that it has no plans to transition management of the authoritative root zone file to ICANN.
Most of these networks have long since ceased to exist, and although UUCP still gets significant use in parts of the world where Internet infrastructure has not yet become well-established, it subsequently transitioned to using Internet domain names, so pseudo-domains now largely survive as historical relics. One notable exception is the 2007 emergence of SWIFTNet Mail, which uses the .swift pseudo-domain.
.local deserves special mention as it is required by the Zeroconf protocol. It is also used by many organizations internally, which will become a problem for those users as Zeroconf becomes more popular. Both .site and .internal have been suggested for private usage, but no consensus has yet emerged.
The anonymity network Tor has a pseudo-domain .onion, which can only be reached with a Tor client because it uses the Tor-protocol (onion routing) to reach the hidden service in order to protect the anonymity of the domain.

Object Lifecycle
|Navigate Classes and Objects topic: )
Before a Java object can be created the class byte code must be loaded from the file system (with
.class extension) to memory. This process of locating the byte code for a given class name and converting that code into a Java class instance is known as class loading. There is one class created for each type of Java class.
All objects in Java programs are created on heap memory. An object is created based on its class. You can consider a class as a blueprint, template, or a description how to create an object. When an object is created, memory is allocated to hold the object properties. An object reference pointing to that memory location is also created. To use the object in the future, that object reference has to be stored as a local variable or as an object member variable.
The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) keeps track of the usage of object references. If there are no more reference to the object, the object can not be used any more and becomes garbage. After a while the heap memory will be full of unused objects. The JVM collects those garbage objects and frees the memory they allocated, so the memory can be reused again when a new object is created. See below a simple example:
|Code section 4.30: Object creation.
obj variable contains the object reference pointing to an object created from the
MyObject class. The
obj object reference is in scope inside the
}. After the
} the object becomes garbage. Object references can be passed in to methods and can be returned from methods.
Creating object with the
new keyword[edit]
99% of new objects are created using the
new keyword.
|Code listing 4.13: MyProgram.java
When an object from the
MyObject class is created for the first time, the JVM searches the file system for the definition of the class, that is the Java byte code. The file has the extension of
*.class. The CLASSPATH environment variable contains locations where Java classes are stored. The JVM is looking for the
MyObject.class file. Depending on which package the class belongs to, the package name will be translated to a directory path.
When the
MyObject.class file is found, the JVM's class loader loads the class in memory, and creates a java.lang.Class object. The JVM stores the code in memory, allocates memory for the
static variables, and executes any static initialize block. Memory is not allocated for the object member variables at this point, memory will be allocated for them when an instance of the class, an object, is created.
There is no limit on how many objects from the same class can be created. Code and
static variables are stored only once, no matter how many objects are created. Memory is allocated for the object member variables when the object is created. Thus, the size of an object is determined not by its code's size but by the memory it needs for its member variables to be stored.
Creating object by cloning an object[edit]
Cloning is not automatically available to classes. There is some help though, as all Java objects inherit the
protected Object clone() method. This base method would allocate the memory and do the bit by bit copying of the object's states.
You may ask why we need this clone method. Couldn't I create a constructor and just passing in the same object, and do the copying variable by variable? Let's see:
|Code listing 4.14: MyObject.java
You might think that accessing the private
memberVar variable of
obj would fail but as this is in the same class this code is legal. The
clone() method copies the whole object's memory in one operation. This is much faster than using the new keyword. Object creation with the
new keyword is expensive, so if you need to create lots of objects with the same type, performance will be better if you create one object and clone new ones from it. See below a factory method that will return a new object using cloning.
|Code section 4.31: Object cloning.
Now, let's see how to make the Customer object cloneable.
- First the
Customerclass needs to implement the
- Override and make the
public, as that is
protectedin the Object class.
- Call the
super.clone()method at the beginning of your
- Override the
clone()method in all the subclasses of
|Code listing 4.15: Customer.java
In the code listing 4.15 we used cloning for speed up object creation. Another use of cloning could be to take a snapshot of an object that can change in time. Let's say we want to store Customer objects in a collection, but we want to disassociate them from the 'live' objects. So before adding the object, we clone them, so if the original object changes from that point forward, the added object won't. Also let's say that the Customer object has a reference to an Activity object that contains the customer activities. Now we are facing a problem, it is not enough to clone the Customer object, we also need to clone the referenced objects. The solution:
- Make the Activity class also cloneable
- Make sure that if the Activity class has other 'changeable' object references, those has to be cloned as well, as seen below
- Change the Customer class
clone()method as follows:
|Code listing 4.16: Customer.java
Note that only mutable objects needs to be cloned. References to unchangeable objects such as String be used in the cloned object without worry.
Creating object receiving from a remote source[edit]
When an object is sent through a network, the object needs to be recreated at the receiving host.
- Object Serialization
- The term Object Serialization refers to the act of converting the object to a byte stream. The byte stream can be stored on the file system, or can be sent through a network.
- At the later time the object can be re-created from that stream of bytes. The only requirement is that the same class has to be available at both times, when the object is serialized and also when the object is re-created. If that happens in different servers, then the same class must be available on both servers. Same class means that exactly the same version of the class must be available, otherwise the object won't be able to be re-created. This is a maintenance problem to those applications where java serialization is used to persist object or sent the object through the network.
- When a class is modified, there could be a problem re-creating those objects that were serialized using an earlier version of the class.
Java has built-in support for serialization, using the
Serializable interface; however, a class must first implement the
Serializable interface.
By default, a class will have all of its fields serialized when converted into a data stream (with
transient fields being skipped). If additional handling is required beyond the default of writing all fields, you need to provide an implementation for methods:
private void writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException;
private void readObject(java.io.ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException;
private void readObjectNoData() throws ObjectStreamException;
If the object needs to write or provide a replacement object during serialization, it needs to implement the following two methods, with any access specifier:
Object writeReplace() throws ObjectStreamException;
Object readResolve() throws ObjectStreamException;
Normally, a minor change to the class can cause the serialization to fail. You can still allow the class to be loaded by defining the serialization version id:
|Code section 4.32: Serialization version id.
Destroying objects[edit]
Unlike in many other object-oriented programming languages, Java performs automatic garbage collection — any unreferenced objects are automatically erased from memory — and prohibits the user from manually destroying objects.
When an object is garbage-collected, the programmer may want to manually perform cleanup, such as closing any open input/output streams. To accomplish this, the
finalize() method is used. Note that
finalize() should never be manually called, except to call a super class' finalize method from a derived class' finalize method. Also, we can not rely on when the
finalize() method will be called. If the java application exits before the object is garbage-collected, the
finalize() method may never be called.
|Code section 4.33: Finalization.
The garbage-collector thread runs in a lower priority than the other threads. If the application creates objects faster than the garbage-collector can claim back memory, the program can run out of memory.
The finalize method is required only if there are resources beyond the direct control of the Java Virtual Machine that needs to be cleaned up. In particular, there is no need to explicitly close an OutputStream, since the OutputStream will close itself when it gets finalized. Instead, the finalize method is used to release either native or remote resources controlled by the class.
Class loading[edit]
One of the main concerns of a developer writing hot re-deployable applications is to understand how class loading works. Within the internals of the class loading mechanism lies the answer to questions like:
- What happens if I pack a newer version of an utility library with my application, while an older version of the same library lingers somewhere in the server's lib directory?
- How can I use two different versions of the same utility library, simultaneously, within the same instance of the application server?
- What version of an utility class I am currently using?
- Why do I need to mess with all this class loading stuff anyway?

Georgia College Completes Weekend Sweep Doubling Up Falcon Baseball 10-5 in Series-Finale
March 30, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Georgia College resumed the offensive outburst scoring 10 runs on 15 hits to finish off a three-game sweep of host Pfeiffer University 10-5 in baseball action on Saturday afternoon. The Bobcats would score all 10 runs over the first five frames improving to 21-9 overall while the Falcons drop to 13-23.
Jake Sandlin picked up where he left off on Friday beginning Saturday with a double down the left-field line. After a single to center by Daniel Bick, Sandlin came in on a 4-6-3 double play ball hit into by Clay Ardeeser.
The Falcons quickly responded in the bottom of the frame as a leadoff walk to Jacob Yates, single to center by Jon Gray and sacrifice bunt by Aarin Sharpe would eventually pay off in the form of a game-tying groundout to second off the bat of Cole McGraw.
The Bobcats immediately took the lead back in the second starting with a solo home run to right by catcher Steve Hazel. Three hitters later, Rob Hogenkamp lace a RBI single to right before Ikaika Anderson followed with a run-scoring double down the left-field line. For the second-consecutive inning, Sandlin would line another double down the right-field line, this one to score two more runs, capping off Georgia College's five-run frame.
Pfeiffer would get one of those runs back in their second as Dalton Lindley sent a solo blast to left-center for his second homer in as many days. As the trend continued, Georgia College got the run back from Lindley's round-tripper on Anderson's second RBI double of the day to make it 7-2.
Hazel would pick up another RBI in the fourth on a single to left-center pushing the lead to 8-2 before Kevin Price showed off some more leather in center. After robbing Sandlin of a three-run homer to end the third, Price would do it again as Donaldson ended the top of the fourth having a two-run homer taken away by a leaping grab by Price.
After being robbed by Price in the fourth, Sandlin made sure he got enough in the fifth lifting off on a two-run dinger above Price in center. Pfeiffer would use the long ball to tack on two more in the seventh as Johnny Brown, Jr. went deep to left-center while Lindley connected for his second of the day with a bomb to center two batters later.
Gray would blast his team-leading ninth of the year to lead-off the eighth ending scoring on the day while slicing the lead in half at 10-5. Out of the bullpen, Hunter Jobe and Jeff Barkley would combine for four-and-a-third scoreless innings. Jobe went 3.1 frames allowing just two hits with a pair of strikeouts while Barkley tossed the ninth retiring the side in order with a strikeout.
Sandlin would once again lead the Bobcats with a 3-for-4 day at the plate with a pair of doubles, a home run and four RBI. Anderson would also finish three hits in his four plate appearances with two doubles, a triple, two runs scored and two RBI. Gray and Lindley would lead the Falcon offense with two hits on the day.
Pfeiffer will stay at Joe Ferebee Field for another non-conference tilt with Newberry at 3:30 p.m. The Wolves defeated the Falcons back on February 19th by a final score of 6-2. Live stats will be available courtesy of http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Meadowdale's Smith, Glacier Peak's Elledge win 3A titles
Mavericks 160-pounder beats Oak Harbor's Joshua Crebbin, Elledge wins second straight title
Fast forward to Mat Classic XXV and Smith stood atop the podium alone as the 160-pound champion for Class 3A.
Coach Brian Boardman and Smith talked about all the work the senior put in leading up to Saturday, and thanks to a 4-2 decision over Oak Harbor's Josh Crebbin, it paid off.
"He works so hard," Boardman said. "He puts all the time in necessary. All of these kids out here deserve wonderful things and everyone works hard, but for us watching him bloom from a kid -- nobody knew him. He deserves it because of how much effort he put into it."
For someone who had never placed at the tournament Smith was calm in the final, taking a 4-0 lead in the first period against Crebbin, whom he had defeated twice earlier in the year.
"I felt like I was in control," Smith said. "It was great that I got that near fall and takedown in the first period."
For Smith though, this match wasn't won under the lights of the Tacoma Dome. It was won during the offseason after he lost both matches at state in 2012.
"You learn from your losses and that's what I did this time last year," Smith said. "I learned from losing. I knew that I would have to work harder if I would be a state champ. I think that was the deciding factor. Hard work and determination.
"Hard works means coming to practice everyday with the mindset to better yourself. Being in school you have to keep your grades up. ... You've got to take everything seriously. Wrestling isn't just a mindset it is a lifestyle. You have to commit yourself."
Smith lost just two matches all year and credited teammate Ciaran Ball, who placed fourth in the 195-pound class, with preparing him for the win.
"Iron sharpens iron," he said
GP's Elledge wins again
The other area 3A champion was Glacier Peak's Sean Elledge, who won a tough 6-5 decision in the title match in the 182-pound class. The final was much more difficult than his 8-0 victory in 2012 championship match, and had many back and forth lead changes. That made Saturday's victory that much more satisfying.
"Definitely better the second time for sure because I've been there and I've been working my butt off to get back to the top," Elledge said. "It feels good to get two."
Elledge wrestled his final high school match Saturday and moves on to Central Washington -- where he will play football in the fall -- but not before leaving his mark at Glacier Peak.
"I want to be remembered at Glacier Peak somehow," Elledge said of the honor of being the only Grizzly to win more than one title. "So that's a big thing for me to be a two-time state champion."
Diaz injured in title match
Marysville Getchell heavyweight Alfredo Diaz finished second in his weight class, losing to Decatur's Kyle Gleed. The senior went from not being able to make weight as a freshman to the favorite this weekend. He was ahead 3-2 during the second period of the title match before went it all went awry.
"He was working his match," Marysville Getchell Todd Freeman coach said. "(Gleed) is super tough on his feet, so we had him where we wanted him on the mat, but a little scramble and things go sideways with heavyweights. There's a lot of meat moving around out there."
During a reversal Gleed kicked Diaz in the head and the referees stopped the match. After trainers checked, they ruled a concussion and Gleed won by injury default.
Stanwood's 106-pounder West Weinert finished second, as did Shorewood's Matthew Floresca at 126.

|Kelsey Grant, RN is the November 2012 DAISY Award Recipient
Congratulations to Kelsey Grant, RN who is the November 2012 Daisy Award recipient. Kelsey is an RN in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU). The DAISY Award is presented monthly to an All Children's Hospital Nurse who has provided extraordinary service to our patients.
Last week, I had the honor of working with Kelsey Grant. She was the bedside nurse for an ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation - a form of life support) patient that was having life support removed the following day. The father of the child asked if there was any way he could sleep next to his child for one last night. Kelsey told him she would ask if it was possible. She got permission from staff and the patient's physician. She secured a stretcher and put it next to the crib. When the parents came back to the room and saw the bed next to the crib they were so happy. The dad must have thanked her at least six times and gave her a big hug. It was the sweetest thing to see these parents take turns at the bedside sleeping and holding the hand of their daughter, knowing what the next day would bring. Kelsey gave this family something they will cherish forever - one last night sleeping next to their daughter, holding her hand.
I have worked with Kelsey for four years. She is one of those nurses that never draws attention to herself. She works with a quiet, calm demeanor and is always there to help a co-worker. She has a kind and compassionate heart. This situation was just one of the many examples of her excellent nursing skills.
"Kelsey came to ACH in 2006 as a new graduate nurse. She immediately embraced the critical care environment and became a resource to the other Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) nurses," said Susan Collins, RN, Director of the CVICU. "Her quiet demeanor and gentle approach are hallmarks of her leadership style. Kelsey is a member of the All Children's Hospital Medical Emergency Team and serves as a preceptor for the CVICU. She is also working toward a Master's Degree in Nursing at the University of South Florida. Kelsey exemplifies compassionate nursing."
Thank you Kelsey, for your service excellence to All Children's Hospital and your continued passion to pursue perfection.

April 1865 saw the Union flag flying over Richmond's buildings for the first time since April 1861. To many the American Civil War was over. Others preferred to continue their fight against the North. But to all intents, the war ended in April 1865. Lincoln was also assassinated in April 1865.
April 1st:
The attack on Lees Army of Northern Virginia continued. Union troops were especially successful at Five Forks where nearly 50% of the Confederate force there was taken prisoner.
April 2nd:
Grant launched an all-out attack against Lees army before dawn. Thick fog covered the attackers and the thinly defended Confederate line was broken in many places. The Army of Northern Virginia pulled back to the Amelia Court House, just 40 miles from Richmond. Panic swept through the Confederacys capital and many evacuated the city. Looting and a general breakdown in law and order occurred.
Grants men occupied Petersburg. There was nothing between Petersburg and Richmond to stop the approach of Union forces.
Selma was taken nearly 3,000 Confederate soldiers surrendered here.
April 3rd:
The US flag was flown in Richmond as Union troops entered the city. Jefferson Davis and his cabinet fled their capital on a train that took them to Danville in Virginia. What was left of the Army of Northern Virginia fled in a westwards direction from the city but the level of command over these men was minimal.
April 4th:
President Lincoln visited Richmond and was greeted and cheered by many African Americans who up to this day had been slaves in numerous households in the city. Grant decided that an active pursuit of Lees men was not required. He got his army to follow them but only on a parallel course. Grant hoped that what had happened at Petersburg would lead to Lees army imploding with many soldiers simply trying to return home. However, Grant was wary about any attempt by Lee to link up with what was left of Johnstons men.
April 5th:
General Lee gathered what was left of his command group at Amelia Court House. Here he expected to find rations for his men but none had been sent.
April 6th:
Lee continued his retreat. But now mutiny was a problem. General Ewell had to surrender his men at Saylers Creek when they refused to carry out his order to fight advancing Union troops.
April 7th:
Grant called on Lee to surrender the Army of Northern Virginia. Lee was effectively surrounded by a very large Union force.
April 8th:
Lee decided to try to break through Grants lines and continue his retreat. However, he cautioned this decision with one rider if nearby Union cavalry forces were supported by Union infantry, he would surrender. Lee assumed that Grants cavalry was further advanced than the infantry. If this was not the case, he believed that any attempted breakout was doomed to failure.
April 9th:
The Army of Northern Virginia fought its last battle. However, it was against Union infantry and Lee stuck to his plan. Lee and Grant met at Appomattox Court House and Grant presented Lee with the terms of surrender. Grant allowed all Confederate officers to keep their own personal weapons (primarily swords) and their horses if they claimed ownership. Lee rode back to what was left of the Army of Northern Virginia and told them: Go to your homes and resume your occupations. Obey the laws and become as good citizens as you were soldiers.
In the South, Mobile fell to Union troops when 16,000 troops attacked a much smaller Confederate force.
April 10th:
The Army of Northern Virginia received rations from Grants men. In a final address to his men Lee wrote: With an increasing admiration of your constancy and devotion to your country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consideration of myself, I bid you a affectionate farewell.
April 11th: Sherman continued with his task of hunting down what was left of General Johnstons army.
April 12th:
The Army of Northern Virginia formally surrendered its weapons and flags at Appomattox.
Montgomery in Alabama was occupied by Union forces.
April 14th:
President Lincoln met Grant to discuss the status of the war. In the evening he went to Fords Theatre to see the comedy Our American Cousin. At 22.00, Lincoln was shot in the back of the head by John Wilkes Booth. The assassin made his escape by jumping on to the stage and running off.
April 15th:
Lincoln died at 07.22. At 11.00 Andrew Johnson was sworn in as President.
Wilkes Booth was helped by a doctor as he had badly damaged his leg when he leapt onto the stage during his escape. The doctor, Samuel Mudd, was sentenced to life in prison for helping Booth.
April 16th:
Sherman received a message from General Johnston asking for a cessation of hostilities with a view to negotiating a surrender.
April 17th:
Sherman and Johnston met at Durham Station. During the talks Johnston made it clear that he included other armies in the surrender, not just his own.
April 18th:
Sherman and Johnston continued their discussions. The terms of surrender went beyond military issues. Sherman guaranteed Southerners political rights as laid down in the US Constitution. The document also stated the US government is not to disturb any of the people by reason of the late war, so long as they abstain from acts of hostility and obey the law. Sherman received a great deal of criticism regarding this and politicians in Washington DC saw him as interfering in political issues that were outside of his military remit. In his defence, Sherman claimed that he was doing what Lincoln would have wanted as part of his policy of reconciliation.
April 19th:
Jefferson Davis learned of the death of President Lincoln. Lee wrote to Davis advising him that any form of guerrilla warfare against the victorious Union forces was folly.
April 21st:
Lincolns body started its journey to Springfield, Illinois.
April 24th:
Grant met with Sherman and criticised him for trespassing on political issues when he drew up the settlement with Johnston. He ordered Sherman to resume hostilities against Johnston until a proper surrender had been negotiated with a political input rather than a sole military one.
April 25th:
Sherman met with Johnston and told him that hostilities would have to begin between the two armies within 48 hours. Johnston informed Jefferson Davis that he would have to surrender to Sherman regardless of what terms were laid down.
April 26th:
General Johnston surrendered his army to Sherman who adopted the same terms as Grant had done for Lees Army of Northern Virginia. Sherman even provided Johnstons men with transport to their homes.
Federal troops surrounded a farm near the Rappahannock River where John Wilkes Booth was hiding along with an accomplice called David Herold. Ordered to surrender, Wilkes decided to fight. He was killed, probably by a federal trooper but possibly by his own hand. Herold surrendered.
April 27th:
Jefferson Davis continued to move further away from Federal forces.
April 30th:
Confederate forces around Mobile surrendered.
By March 1865 the situation for the South was hopeless. Despite this obvious military point, Sherman continued with his policy of destroying anything that might assist the South if he had to make a withdrawal even if the probability of this was negligible.
March 1st:
To hinder Shermans advance, Confederate troops destroyed bridges over the Middle Shenandoah. It was a sign of the state the Confederate Army was in as in previous campaigns these bridges would have been the ones used by them. Their assumption, presumably, was that they would be unlikely to use these same bridges again.
March 2nd:
Custer led a successful attack against Confederate positions at Waynesborough. This victory all but ended Confederate military activity in the Shenandoah Valley.
Lee sent a letter to Grant that proposed a meeting.
March 3rd:
In a sign that many believed the war was coming to an end, Congress created a Bureau for the Relief of Freedmen and Refugees. Once in being, its task was to supervise ownership of abandoned land and providing work for the displaced African American population.
Grant received a message from Lincoln forbidding any meeting with Lee in case discussions drifted into political issues.
March 4th:
Lincoln was inaugurated for his second term in office. Still failing to face reality, the Confederate Congress met to discuss and approve a new design for the Confederacys flag.
March 6th:
Sherman marched his army into North Carolina with his main target being Fayetteville. Union forces controlled the port of Wilmington. Therefore supplying Shermans large army was relatively easy. The food issue that had a devastating impact on Lees Army of Northern Virginia was much less of a problem for Sherman.
March 8th:
The Confederate Senate voted in favour (by 9 to 8) of using slaves as troops.
March 11th:
Shermans troops entered Fayetteville.
March 12th:
Sherman continued with his policy of destroying any building that might have a future military use if he had to pull back. This time it was Fayettevilles turn to suffer as shops, machine tool shops, arsenals, foundries etc were all burned down. Shermans rule was that no inhabited civilian homes should be touched but no one then could effectively control a fire once it had started and much of Fayetteville, as with many other towns and cities, had wooden based buildings.
March 13th:
Jefferson Davis signed into law the act allowing African Americans to become soldiers in the Confederate Army. It was assumed that any slave who volunteered to fight would be given his freedom once the war was at its end.
March 16th:
Shermans men clashed with a Confederate force near Averasborough, North Carolina. The South lost 800 men while Sherman lost 650. However, the Unionists forced back the Confederates who had to retreat.
March 17th:
The North started a major campaign to capture Mobile in Alabama. Major-General E Canby commanded a force of 32,000 men. Against him were 10,000 Confederate troops commanded by General Maury.
March 18th:
The Confederate Congress met for the very last time.
Confederate forces concentrated at Bentonville, North Carolina in an attempt to stop the advance of Sherman. 17,000 men were led by General Joe Johnston. In the immediate vicinity Johnston faced 17,000 Union soldiers but not far away were the remainder of Shermans army and other Union units in North Carolina an extra 90,000 men. Johnstons task looked hopeless.
March 19th:
Johnston commenced his attack against Union troops. His had initial success but news of the fighting compelled Sherman to move nearly 45,000 Union troops to Bentonville.
March 20th: Shermans army easily outflanked Johnstons army. Sherman decided to concentrate his attack on Johnstons centre while the flanks were ordered to engage the enemy to keep them busy so that they could not reinforce Johnstons centre. Johnston had to withdraw his army two miles and lost over 2,600 men. Sherman lost 1,500 killed and wounded.
March 22nd:
A Union force commanded by Major-General James Wilson started its march to Selma, the last manufacturing city in the Confederacy.
March 23rd:
The combined might of the Union Army in North Carolina joined at Goldsborough 90,000 troops in total. Shermans advance north had served another very important purpose supplies collected in the Carolinas and due for Lees army around Richmond never got there as either they were taken by the speedily advancing Union army or the means of transport mainly rail had been destroyed. Sherman described his advance as like the thrust of a sword through the heart of the human body.
March 24th:
Lee could only muster 35,000 fit men at Petersburg. He decided that they had to break out if they were to live to fight another day. He ordered General John Gordon to lead the breakthrough.
March 25th:
Gordon started his attempt to break out of Petersburg. It was a failure. The Unionist defenders near Fort Stedman, the scene of the attempted breakout, lost 1,500 men killed and wounded. However, the Confederates lost a disastrous 4,000 men many of whom surrendered.
March 26th:
Grant planned to place his men around Petersburg so that Lee could not initiate any other attempted breakout. His plan was to trap Lees army once and for all.
March 27th:
Lincoln met with Grant and Sherman at City Point, Virginia. It was at this meeting that, according to Sherman, Lincoln agreed that any Confederate soldier would become a US citizen immediately he laid down his weapons.
Mobile was besieged by Union forces.
March 28th:
Grant prepared the Army of the Potomac for what he assumed would be the last offensive against Lees Army of Northern Virginia. Grant had an army of 125,000 men while Lee could muster a total of 50,000 men. But many of those in Lees army were far from fit enough to fight in battle. Lee still harboured a desire to break out of Petersburg and march to join up with Johnstons men in North Carolina. It was a plan that he was not able to carry out.
March 29th:
Grant started his attack against the Army of Northern Virginia.
March 30th:
Lees army, aided by torrential rain, coped with the attacks. However, Lee had over-extended his army along their defensive front so while he could defend more ground, his line was very thin almost everywhere and very open to a successful assault. For example, near the Dinwiddie Court House, Lees men who numbered 10,000 faced 50,000 Union troops.
March 31st:
Confederate forces faced with overwhelming odds started to withdraw from some of their entrenched positions outside of Petersburg.

Scilla Elworthy:
Fighting with nonviolence
How do you deal with a bully without becoming a thug? In this wise and soulful talk, peace activist Scilla Elworthy maps out the skills we need — as nations and individuals — to fight extreme force without using force in return. To answer the question of why and how nonviolence works, she evokes historical heroes — Aung San Suu Kyi, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela — and the personal philosophies that powered their peaceful protests.
This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxExeter, an independent event. TED editors featured it among our selections on the home page.

A Decent Tablet for Educational Purposes
I am currently in a community college and want to find a good tablet (budget $500-) that can take good notes for engineering. I have looked into ipad 2/3 (Mental note/noteshelf app) or transformer pad tf 300/700 (supernote) because I want to type with a keyboard and draw symbols for my notes. Can someone give me insight of which one is better for educational purposes and little bit of time killer with movies/games?
