The Stelle Architect team, coached by Ted Schiavoni, John "Woody" Kneeland and Faith Diskin, took the 2009 majors softball title on Monday, outscoring JCP Landscaping, 13-3. The win concluded an undefeated 11-0 campaign for Stelle, the brilliant pitching of Sam Duchemin allowing the team to flourish in the field.
That confidence also carried into the team's at-bats, as was evident Monday when a seven-run sixth inning broke open a close 6-3 game. Coach Schiavoni was thrilled with his team afterwards, saying, "We had a lot of outstanding plays by a lot of different girls, Sam Duchemin, Sabrina Baum, Meg Schiavoni, Bridget Canavan, Zoe Diskin and Claire Kunzeman."
Praising the team as a whole, he added, "The bottom of the line-up proved to be as productive as the top. Sometimes you have the talent but things don't come together. This one was a good season; this team just gelled."
JCP was the championship runner-up for the second consecutive year, manager Jeff Peters once again bringing together young talent for a strong playoff run. The JCP team finished the season at 5-9.
For the second spring in a row, the Sag Harbor girls played against each other and against their Southampton counterparts, the two Little League chapters working together to give their players a more varied experience. The two chapter's majors' baseball programs also came together for "inter-league play" this spring, the 9-and-10-year-old and 11-and-12-year-old divisions each scheduling regular-season games.
Baseball Notes
The post-season baseball playoffs are still underway, the majors' final seeing the Sag Harbor PBA take on the Sag Harbor Fire Department and the AAA final having Sag Harbor's Ace Hardware against a yet-to-be-determined Southampton team.
Local Little League tournament play for the 11-and-12 year old baseball division "all-stars" is due to start at the end of the month, with the full roster of that team being announced next week. That is the only tournament team the Sag Harbor-Bridgehampton Little League will field this year, the softball majors and baseball minors divisions being short on available players.
LL Graduates
The chapter's 13-to-15-year-old senior league baseball program opens play this week, the Sag Harbor team hosting Southampton in Mashashimuet Park Monday and traveling there Wednesday. Both games are due to start at 5:30 p.m.
Five senior league "graduates" are playing travel baseball this summer. One of them, Kyle McGowin, an all-county honoree at Pierson, pitched a no-hitter Sunday, leading the Long Island Tigers (from Flushing) to a doubleheader sweep of Eastport South Manor in a 17-and-under league.
The nationally competitive Tigers are due to play in tournaments in Louisiana and Virginia in July, with the hopes of matching the success of last year's 17-and-under squad which won the 2008 National Amateur Baseball Federation's 17-and-under World Series.
Closer to home, all-league Pierson seniors Joe Mascali and Ryan Miller are suiting up for the 17-and-under East Hampton Sharks while Pierson juniors Brandon Kruel and T.J. Arreguin are playing for a Shoreham team in the Brookhaven Police Athletic League.
Last Thursday, Kruel threw six-innings of two-hit ball, striking out eight as Shoreham beat the Long Island Bandits (of East Northport), 5-3. Arreguin threw a runner out at the plate from right field to preserve his new team's narrow lead late in the game.
The pair's roles were reversed Monday when Arreguin pitched six innings of one-hit shutout ball in a 1-0 win over the Center Moriches-based Long Island Ducks while Kruel played an errorless right field and contributed a hit.

When they said variety is the spice of life, they probably weren't suggesting eating a different form of curry every day of the week. Relish in diversifying your routine and pay R1290 for a bed and breakfast weekend getaway for two people at Montagu Country Hotel.
Though everyone needs some time away from the hustle and bustle of
living in the city, sometimes you need a bit more than a night in a chrome and
glass boutique hotel in the heart of the same city you're trying to get away
from. Cosily nestled between the Langeberg and Riviersonderend mountain ranges,
Montagu Country Hotel is the perfect half-way stop; close enough to
civilisation not to include needing to hike four-miles in snow shoes to get
there, but far away enough to be called country.
They might as well call the Robertson Wine Route their backyard.
With more rustic charm than a well-spoken cowboy in an Armani suit, the hotel features antique art-deco furniture and staff that will make you feel like you're just staying at a friend's house for the weekend. Even if you decide to do nothing but kick back in your chic and comfortable room the whole weekend, sipping on a complimentary bottle of wine and looking forward to not slaving over a hot skillet for breakfast the next morning, you'll be doing it in style that'll make you consider just moving in. Alternatively, if you're the type that likes to add some spice to your cultural sauce, today's Groupon also includes a one-day entrance to Avalon Springs and a tractor-ride. Once you've tuckered yourself out, spend the next day getting pampered with discounts for the wellness centre or hair salon before retreating to the tastefully-decorated cocoon of your room.
Perfect for an end-of-week getaway, a romantic getaway or just a getaway to watch The Getaway, two nights at Montagu Country Hotel is the easiest way to add some spice to your life and replace daily-drudgery with some refreshed and fresh-faced relaxation.
We had an amazing weekend at the MCH. Staff were very friendly, the rooms great. We had room with spa bath which we used extensively and really enjoyed. The food at the restaurant was OUT OF THIS WORLD! WOW! Definitely a repeat visit is called for! – Mike H; guestHotel Fact: The CRAZY TOWN hotel in east-Texas was a getaway destination created especially for celebrities looking to take some time out from their busy lives. The hotel keeps half of its accommodation open for non-celebrities, though rooms need to be booked as far as ten years in advance. All guests at the hotel need to wear baseball caps, fake glasses and stick-on moustaches at all times.

Clocky is an alarm with an ingenious method for rousing even the most dedicated morning dozer. After you hit the snooze button, the contraption rolls off the bedside table and zooms away on a set of wheels to some other part of the room, finding a new hiding place every day. When the alarm sounds again, simply finding Clocky ought to be strenuous enough to prevent even the doziest owner from going back to sleep.

Venous stasis ulcers, such as those experienced by Ms. Kostelak for the last 15 years, are painful, large beefy red wounds, usually on the legs, that fail to heal. The ulcers also pose a serious danger of potential infection.
Ms. Kostelak, who does not have diabetes, suspects a genetic component to her problem, as both her mother and a sister had the same non-healing wounds. She is one of approximately 600,000 people in the United States today who are seeking treatment for this condition.
Now at Winthrop, a new wound treatment - ApligrafTM - is provided in Winthrop's Mini Surgery Suite, without an overnight stay. ApligrafTM, the only living, bi-layered skin construct available today, is applied directly over the clean, debrided wound. Grown from cloned human foreskin cells, harvested from newborn babies, ApligrafTM is particularly effective when combined with compression bandaging.
Alfred Adamo, MD, a Voluntary Attending Surgeon with Winthrop's Department of Surgical Services, was the first surgeon in Nassau County to treat a patient with Apligraf.TM
The patient, Ms. Kostelak, says that her wound had been growing larger, aggravated by an occupational hazard - filing while standing on her feet during most of her business day. Although Dr. Adamo had tried other treatments, her wound had not healed. "Traditional skin grafts sloughed right off. I'd also tried a technique similar to a
soft cast, which was not helpful," he recalls.
The ApligrafTM treatment "took," and within nine weeks, Ms. Kostelak's wound was 80% healed. Its troubling odor had disappeared.
Venous Stasis Ulcers: Costly
to Society
"The cost of venous stasis ulcers, in terms of time lost from work, loss of productivity, people out on disability, and people in chronic pain, is incredible," says Dr. Adamo, adding, "Physicians are not certain why these chronic wounds will not heal." Typical reasons are diabetes, poor circulation, vascular problems, and collagen or protein-inhibiting factors. "Failure to heal is a problem that can affect all age groups, not just people over 40. Surgeons treat college age patients, who have suffered trauma, whose wounds fail to heal. Non-healing wounds can also result from insect bites."
"Wound care is very important in America," Dr. Adamo concludes. "It is significant that Winthrop, a Level I Regional Trauma Center, is on the forefront of new wound care therapies. I am glad that the ApligrafTM 'Pathway to Healing' is available to our patients."
For further information on ApligrafTM, call Dr. Alfred Adamo at 516-742-7150.

A power plant based on a spheromak device using liquid walls is analyzed. We assume a spheromak configuration can be made and sustained by a steady plasma gun current, which injects particles, current and magnetic field, i.e., helicity injection, which are transported into the core region. The magnetic configuration is evaluated with an axisymmetric freeboundary equilibrium code, where the current profile is tailored to support an average beta of 10%. An injection current of 100 kA (125 MW of gun power) sustains the toroidal current of 40 MA. The magnetic flux linking the gun is 1/1000th of the flux in the spheromak. The geometry allows a flow of liquid, either molten salt, (flibe-Li2BeF4 or flinabe-LiNaBeF4), or liquid metal such as SnLi, which protects most of the walls and structures from damage arising from neutrons and plasma particles. The free surface between the liquid and the burning plasma is heated primarily by bremsstrahlung, line radiation, and some by neutrons. The temperature of the free surface of the liquid is calculated and then the evaporation rate is estimated from vapor-pressure data. The impurity concentration in the burning plasma, about 0.8% fluorine, is limited to that giving a 20% reduction in the fusion power. The divertor power density of 620 MW/m2 is handled by high-speed (100 m/s) liquid jets. Calculations show the tritium breeding is adequate with enriched 6Li, and a design is given for the walls not covered by flowing liquid (~15% of the total). We identified a number of problem areas needing further study to make the design more self-consistent and workable, including lowering the divertor power density by expanding the flux tube size.

One of the stories that L. Sprague de Camp told was how he fell into getting involved with Conan. He paraphrased the story several times including the first version, "Conan's Ghost" in The Conan Reader (Mirage Press, 1968). De Camp's story is that after reading Conan the Conqueror, he quickly tracked down and read the other Conan stories. He contacted Donald Wollheim noting "The Witch From Hell's Kitchen" by Howard had recently appeared in The Avon Fantasy Reader. Wollheim put de Camp in touch with Oscar J. Friend. De Camp makes it sound like Oscar J. Friend had a box of Howard manuscripts and had no idea what was in them. It was then de Camp who discovered "The Frost Giant's Daughter," "The God in the Bowl," and "The Black Stranger." As de Camp put it, "I revised them all for publication." This is the only version of this story told. There is a fly in the ointment here. If Oscar J. Friend was so oblivious to what he had – how is it he sold "The House of Arabu" to Donald Wollheim as "The Witch From Hell's Kitchen" for The Avon Fantasy Reader before de Camp ever contacted Friend? How is it Friend could find one story in the box but not the three Conan stories? Something isn't fitting together here.
L. Sprague de Camp wrote another review of a Conan book during the 1950s for a science fiction magazine. Science Fiction Quarterly in 1955 was still a pulp for at least another year. That was the year that Planet Stories, Thrilling Wonder Stories, and Startling Stories all died. SFQ may have been technically the last science fiction pulp. Anyway, de Camp reviewed the Gnome Press edition of Conan the Barbarian for the August 1955 issue. I checked with Scotty Henderson and John D. Clark edited Conan the Barbarian, not de Camp. You at least don't have a case of an editor reviewing his own book though a case of conflict of interest could be made. What is interesting is de Camp publically airs his problems with Martin Greenberg, publisher of Gnome Press. Greenberg today has a horrible reputation, he didn't pay authors and often demanded royalty money claiming copyright when a later paperback would come out. A friend of mine who has edited some mass market books once told me that all too often there are those in the small press who will publish your work for nothing and act like they are doing you a favor. David Kyle was at Pulp-Con in 1999. David Gentzel and I talked to him and tried to get some information about Gnome Press. He would talk a little about designing endpapers and maps but that was it. He wouldn't discuss the business side of Gnome Press.
De Camp in the review complains about some paragraphs of the Conan biography being messed up and one paragraph being dropped. "This kind of slapdash editorial carelessness that has long tempted me to make a waxen image of Martin Greenberg, and stick pins in it." Strong words from someone renowned for keeping his cool in public.
De Camp also reviewed The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien in the same magazine issue. He describes a Hobbit as "a cross between an English white-collar worker and a rabbit." He also comments on the New York Times review, "I found too found Tolkien's 'dear, silly old hobbits' too dreadfully sweet for my drier tastes at times. But the irony of Prescott's criticism is that Prescott himself himself is as responsible as any one man for the literary fashion of 'little people.' For fourteen years my eminent colleague has been harping in his column on character. Few novels have a profound enough study of character to suit him. His idea of a perfect novel seems to be one of those subjective studies of an average adolescent girl, growing up in a very dull family, in some obscure small town where nothing ever happens."
By 1954 L. Sprague de Camp was straining at the leash with Oscar J. Friend and by 1955 with Martin Greenberg of Gnome Press. More to follow.

The Harnett County Planning Department is pleased to announce that we will be offering surveyors, and individuals alike a new service that will streamline some of our current review processes. Planning has been working with other agencies within the County who also review these plats to try to provide a service that will lessen many of the steps associated with our reviews. As many of you know, for Minor Subdivision approval there are four County agencies that review these plats, Emergency 911 Addressing, Environmental Health, Public Utilities, Planning Services and NCDOT. Under the new process, instead of visiting all four departments for approval you can submit your project Packet with Planning Services and await comments or approval. If you would like to have NCDOT approve digitally we can now do that as well (Please allow extra time for NCDOT approval).
What are the advantages to this process?
- One County Stamp instead of the five that are required now, this leaves more room for mapping info
- Less time and travel involved in getting your map processed, one stop versus four
- The ability to track the progress of your map via the Click2gov website with your HTE number
- Instant access to review comments from all County Departments, this allows you to turn your product around quicker, or if you are an individual you will be able to get your project started sooner
How does it work?
Simply submit projects either by hand, or electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com, they will be processed by a planning tech, assigned an HTE number, and submitted to all other applicable departments. Shortly there after you will be notified and given an HTE tacking number so you the customer have immediate access to each approval during this process. When all new projects are submitted to the appropriate departments, the applicant will receive an HTE number that can be used to reference the status of your project at any time via the County's Click2gov website
What do I bring/submit?
- A cover sheet explaining what the survey is for (Minor or Exempt Plat), name of developer, date submitted, and up to date contact info for the engineer and landowner.
- If applicable then you will need to submit the soils report at this time.
- There must be a signed affidavit authorizing the surveyor to do work from all parties involved for Ownership and Dedication if the surveyor would like to sign as agent
- If there there is to be an improved easement then the maintenance agreement must be included and signed
What happens after County approval?
- The Final Plat is printed on a recordable Mylar with appropriate surveyor certifications and the landowner's signature.
- The langauge for the Minor Subdivision Stamp is as follows : Stamp
- Approval from NCDOT if applicable.
- All necessary fees which will be determined upon receipt of your comments.
- When final approval is granted, the Plat will be released and can then be recorded.
- After this process is instated, none of the other departments will be available to sign Plats individually
- If you would like the County to aquire NCDOT's signature, please allow extra time when submitting your project
- No departments individual review period will abbreviated with the new procedure
This is a new process so there may be some questions along the way. If you are having trouble viewing or accessing certain information, please contact the Planning Department so we can work toward resolving your issue.

Jessica Simpson to Wait "At Least Two or Three Years" Before Third Baby: Report
Everyone was surprised when Jessica Simpson got pregnant a second time — especially Jessica and her fiance Eric Johnson. They are thrilled to be expecting a son this summer, but never planned to share their pregnancy news just months after the May 1 birth of daughter Maxwell Drew.
A source told OK! Magazine that Jessica is going to make sure a third baby doesn't come along this time next year. Or possibly ever.
"Jessica is going to be a LOT more careful after her son is born and has vowed to take a serious breather from anymore baby making for at least two or three years," the source said. "Both Jessica and Eric are very hands on parents and they want to be able to enjoy their time with Maxwell and her brother, when he arrives, as much as possible, in addition to working on their relationship together. ... Jessica's priority after the baby arrives is going to be finalizing the details of her and Eric's wedding and then she is going to concentrate on their marriage and on their family."
Sounds like the right priorities. There's nothing wrong with having baby after baby — the Duggars are famous for it! — but it's always good to have a plan instead of feeling like things are just happening faster than you expected. This revised 1) Second Baby, 2) Wedding, 3) Family Bonding plan sounds pretty good. Best of luck!

My Summer Plans
April 28, 2013 in Chakai, Lucas, Musical Instruments, My Life, People In My Life, Stuff That Matter To Me by Ane
When I was a kid, half of my summer was spent reading a really good book that I've been dying to for that whole year {yes, I've always been a book worm}, a quarter of it spent on vacation in Manila to spend time with my Mom and my siblings and a quarter of it doing some kind of summer activity like swimming, doing sports or enrolling in a summer class of some sort.
I did take swimming lessons as a kid, and I learned how not to drown, but I really can't swim swim, you know? And as for sports, I remember when I was 8 and my grandma enrolled me in like a basketball camp of something, I only went the first day and I never came back, Sports and I, we're civil, but we're so not friends. I did take ballet, and that was something I love, so I took it every summer that I can, alternating with summer ballet programs here and in Manila.
When I was a teen, summers were spent hanging out with my best friends, horseback riding and then partying at night. I love horseback riding, it's quite an exhilarating experience, if I had the time, I'd do it more.
Now that I have kids on my own, summer to me means being able to sleep in on weekdays and focus on my tasks online, if I have any. If not, it means lounging with a really good book I've been dying to read and just hanging out with the kids, watching tv, playing games online and offline and just hanging out.
And because I grew up not being able to spend enough time with my parents, I've made it my life's mission to spend every waking moment with my kids whenever I can, because it's important to me that they feel how much they mean to me. I know my parents love me, that's a given, but it would have been nice to have actually felt it, you know? Oh sure, my mom and dad sort of made up for it when I was older and married with kids by approving of B and loving my kids, but as a child, I wish I was hugged more and cuddled and snuggled and all those cheesy stuff children with doting parents find annoying. When they're older, these are the things that will make their hearts smile.
Anyway, enough with my
traumatic dramatic childhood, or lack thereof, and onto my plans to make this a very memorable summer for my children.
Today, I don't need to enroll them in a special summer class, I can pretty much do it myself and if I don't know how to, we can all learn through YouTube! I so love the internet!
So Chakai and Lucas want to learn how to play the guitar, I've been wanting to buy a guitar, I saw this cool fender fa 100 online and is only $99, I think it's a pretty good deal, so if I can't find one exactly like that in the mall for exactly the same price, I'm definitely going to buy it.
Chakai and I have already started learning advance belly dancing moves via YouTube and Lucas and I have done some crafts with glue and popsicle sticks. On the weekends, B tries to teach them how to play sports, because as you know, I'm not sporty. At. All. Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not a wimp and can still pretty much beat up someone's ass if I choose to, I just don't love the idea of balls bouncing and flying around and possibly hitting me on the face. *thinks about Marsha Brady's nose after she got hit with a football. {shudders}*
I'm really super excited about how awesome this summer will turn out to be.

Doyle Says Easier To Take Fed Money
A vote in the Wisconsin Assembly today would delay new BadgerCare benefits
for 83 thousand of the state's poorest childless adults. It would also allow the state to wait three months, until the end of March, to drop 77 thousand BadgerCare recipients above the poverty line. La Crosse state lawmaker, Steve Doyle explains.
[ DOYLE 2 is unavailable ]
The Joint Finance Committee voted 11-2 Monday to pass the measure onto the Assembly. It's all due to the way Obama Care was rolled out says some state lawmakers. GOP finance chair John Nygren says the Obamacare rollout has been, a disaster.

Smart command line parser and handler for node js.
The smart Node JS command line parser module provides an easy API that makes an abstraction of a command line. It allows you to specify the order and type of the expected (required) arguments, and the names and types of the optional (named) arguments.
It uses a json-style notation for command lines, for example:
node example.js -debug -encoding:ascii -value:4.5 some ordered arguments -flag:false
All arguments are parsed, and the resulting object will have the following properties:
It is possible to map the ordered arguments to property names by specifying those names at object construction time.
The command line class will after construction expose all argument values as normal JavaScript properties. It can also output the resulting usage syntax, and validate the input. In JavaScript, you can extend objects with properties and functions at run time. node-commandline uses this technique in order to create a model of the command line and it's arguments.
The easiest way to install node-commandline is to use the NPM package manager:
npm install node-commandline
This project is derived from my previous work for the node js serial-to-tcp server.
