Rating: 5.00 out of 1 votes cast
Beautiful blouse
I purchased the green one for my mother for Christmas. She absolutely loved it. The fabric is soft, does not look cheap and was extremely comfortable. My mom like the fact that she could leave it fully buttoned or wear a lace trimmed cami underneath and leave the shirt opened. Mom is 5'8" and a size 10. The L was a perfect fit. I wish I ordered one for myself!

And I havent heard much meaningful discussion on the gun issue relating to how many lives are actually saved by those who have guns and use them for protection. Or how many lives have been sacrificed because of strict gun control laws.
I have read reports that about 1/6th of people who use guns in defense believe that they saved an innocent life by doing so. If thats true, and with a very conservative underestimate on the number of times people use guns in self-defense, we could be looking at over 13,000 lives saved each year by armed citizens. Deaths attributed to guns runs under 10,000 I believe. If we use other estimates of 1,000,000 incidents where citizens use guns to protect themselves each year, we could be talking over 165,000 lives saved.
I keep hearing about President Obama using "executive orders" to enact stricter gun laws in the event our elected officials in congress take their good old time, or don't legislate to his liking. I hope this isn't the case as I thought he was elected president, who is subject to the laws of the land... and not elected dictator.
Repeat after me, gun control laws do not mean banning ALL guns.
Have guns saved some people's lives? Probably, but they've sacrificed a lot more.
i'd agree wholeheartedly about the taxation issue...but we already do that sort of thing to others...extra taxes on certain items...so gun owners should not feel singled out and oppressed by such maneuvers, methinks, since i'm sure they, like almost everybody else, has voted in a few 'sin' taxes through the years
i'd hate, though, if that is a route that is taken, to see taxes be levied too high...last thing we need is to further engender a black market
any monies raised should be earmarked solely to further enhance responsible gun ownership...not to harass law abiding citizens
But, as I have read, there is a push to limit magazines to 10 rounds. And I believe the majority of semi-auto handguns would fall outside of that limit. Citizens own about a billion magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, and the majority of widely owned firearms come standard from the factory with more than 10 round magazines.
Do they issue magazines that hold more than 10 rounds to the police in order to commit murder? No! So if those larger magazines have no value for self-defense, wouldn't we want to prohibit them for law enforcement and security also? The 10 round "high capacity" limitation appears only to be a cloak to disarm the majority of the already law-abiding citizens.
What leads you to believe that?Have guns saved some people's lives? Probably, but they've sacrificed a lot more.
From http://abcnews.go.com/US/giffords-ke...ry?id=18145328
Giffords, 42, and Kelly, 48, are both gun owners and supporters of the 2nd Amendment, but Kelly had strong words for the National Rifle Association after the group suggested the only way to stop gun violence is to have a "good guy with a gun."
There was a good guy with a gun, Kelly said, the day Jared Loughner shot Giffords and 18 other people, six fatally, at her "Congress on Your Corner" event.
"[A man came out] of the store next door and nearly shot the man who took down Jared Loughner," Kelly said. "The one who eventually wrestled [Loughner] to the ground was almost killed himself by a good guy with a gun, so I don't really buy that argument."
And if one of our sons or daughters was at this birthday party… How would we feel?
A group of college students said they are lucky to be alive and they're thanking the quick-thinking of one of their own. Police said a fellow student shot and killed one of two masked me who burst into an apartment.
Channel 2 Action News reporter Tom Jones met with one of the students to talk about the incident.
"Apparently, his intent was to rape and murder us all," said student Charles Bailey.
Outraged that guns were there at all. But unless the gunmen were felons, they're still protected under the second amendment as having the legal right to possess them regardless of who's holding them or the type of firearm they are.
Call me crazy… but breaking and entering, masked, armed, and taking hostages would make any reasonable person consider them to felons, or worse... and not protected by the second amendment.

Google continues to end projects, the most recent one being AdWords for Print. The blog post that explains the decision shows the big picture at Google:
"In the last few months, we've been taking a long, hard look at all the things we are doing to ensure we are investing our resources in the projects that will have the biggest impact for our users and partners. While we hoped that Print Ads would create a new revenue stream for newspapers and produce more relevant advertising for consumers, the product has not created the impact that we — or our partners — wanted. (...) As we grow, it is important that we focus on products that can benefit the most people and solve the most important problems. By moving resources away from projects that aren't having the impact we want, we can refocus our efforts on those that will delight millions of users."
That's the reason why Google closes or stops investing in small projects that couldn't attract a big audience. Google Answers, Google Notebook, Browser Sync, Lively, Hello weren't very popular and Google decided to close them. Some of them were open sourced and migrated to Google App Engine, while others became start-ups. This is a big opportunity for start-ups: create services that aren't likely to go mainstream in the near future.

The peak summer travel season is in full swing at our airport and it's promising to get even busier ......
In June, July, and August, Allegiant Air is growing its Springfield flight schedule by a total of 57% over the same three month period last year (222 flights this year, vs. 141 last summer). This growth comes after a banner 2014 when passenger numbers at the Springfield airport grew at an annual clip of 12%.
Allegiant flights to Orlando get the biggest bump. In June the airline will fly between Springfield and Orlando six days a week. That's up from four days a week last June.
The increase in the Allegiant schedule will probably give the airport double digit passenger growth in June, July and August. It's a strong indicator of continued improvement in the regional and national economies. People wouldn't be buying Allegiant's vacation packages in numbers like this if their budgets were hurting.
Not to be left out, the other Springfield airlines are bringing bigger planes to Springfield. American, Delta, and United are all shedding some of their 50-seat regional jets:
- Delta's bringing in an Airbus 319 (126 sets) for one its four daily flights to Atlanta
- American begins using Bombardier CRJ-900s (76 seats) for two of its seven daily flights to Dallas
- United begins using Bombardier CRJ-700s (66 seats) for two of its four daily flights to Chicago
Here's the bottom line: this summer the airlines will shed a total of seven 50-seat jets from their Springfield schedules. That's good for a couple of reasons. Number one: the airlines wouldn't bring bigger jets here if they couldn't fill them. It shows that demand for air travel in Springfield is high. The second reason is comfort. Many people hate 50-seat jets because they're cramped and stuffy. So the bigger planes are a welcome relief.
Some 50-seaters will probably come back as the summer travel season winds down. But some may stick around. Airline schedules for the fall are preliminary at this point, but they all show some bigger planes in the mix.
Why does all this matter? The growth is passengers (and flights) means that airport passenger numbers are trending up. Not just month to month, but year to year. After the uncertainty of the recession, this trend is very welcome news — not just for the airport, but for the local economy and travelers.

Porsha Stewart and Her Husband, Kordell, Have Different Ideas of How They Will Raise Their Children (VIDEO)
Porsha Stewart and her husband, Kordell, are both eager to have a child together, but during a dinner date, the couple realized that they have different ideas of how their "little Kordell's and Porshas" should be raised.
On one hand, Kordell is uncomfortable with his wife being away from the house so much, instead encouraging her to stay at home more and take care things for the family, but on the other hand, ambitious Porsha wants to be able to juggle a career and motherhood.
When Porsha broaches the idea of hiring a nanny for the pair's potential offspring, Kordell quickly nixes the suggestion and declares they aren't quite ready for a baby (or babies!) of their own just yet!
Rumor has it that Porsha is currently expecting a child, so hopefully they have worked through their differences by now! Watch their conversation below, and then hit the comments with your thoughts.

Golf Season Preview
- Release Date:
- September 6, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
The 2011 Hilbert College Golf team, under the leadership of new head coach Andy Dvornski, returns five players from a season ago and welcomes two new faces to the program.
The team will rely on the experience and leadership of returning senior captains John Nowak and Pat Brooks. Senior Jim Pernick brings passion to the course and continues to develop his golf game in year-two of competing. This senior-trio has been practicing hard as they prepare for their final season as part of the Hawks golf program.
Also returning for their second season are sophomores Joe Pernick and Dave Grigsby. Both players will look to add a spark to the Hilbert lineup and will fight for that last spot for competition.
Rounding out this year's team are two new golfers to the program. First year players, junior Gary Gawera and junior Mitch Rojek are looking forward to gaining the experience of playing golf at the collegiate level. Gawera is a current men's volleyball member and is excited about his chance to swing a club for the Hawks.
Coach Dvornski is looking forward to seeing the improvements in his player's individual skills, their etiquette and sportsmanship on the course and he is looking forward to seeing what his team will be able to accomplish this fall. "We have a dedicated and hard working group this season who I am excited to be working with," said Dvornski.
The Hawks open at the Bradford Invitational September 3, before they host their second annual Hilbert Invitational at Gowanda Country Club September 9. Before they head to the AMCC Championship match in October, Hilbert will participate in the Spartan Shootout (9/13), the Penn State Behrend Invitational (9/20), the Medaille Invitational (9/24) and the La Roche Invitational 9/27). This fall, the AMCC Championship match is being played at Oak Tree Country Club in Middlesex, OH on October 9 and 10th.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Why steam + convection?
Moisture, heat and airflow work in concert to create delicious results while preserving foods' natural nutrition. (Up to 22% more vitamins are retained in vegetables, for instance.) Roasts, dinner rolls, pastries, and casseroles – everything comes out moist, flavorful, delightfully crusty or flaky. You simply must see – or better yet taste – the results to believe it.
The healthier, more nutritious secret
Cooks have long appreciated the way steam cooking preserves nutrients and keeps foods moist. The Wolf convection steam oven makes steam do so much more.
- Brown meats
- Even "sauté" vegetables with beautiful caramelization
- ...and without adding a drop of fat
Wolf steam convection does things you've never thought possible. Perfect, fluffy couscous without butter. A richly browned roast chicken that's the juiciest you've ever tasted. Crusts that glisten without an egg wash.
A favorite with the world's cooks
Ever wonder how professional bakeries get that perfect crackling crust on boules and baguettes? Steam is their secret.
It can be yours too, along with countless other benefits cooks around the world have enjoyed for years with convection steam ovens.
Now this time-tested cooking system comes to North American kitchens with the exceptional design, reliability, and fine control only Wolf brings.
Guesswork? Gone.
Meals that used to require multiple appliances, and multiple pots and pans, can now be prepared beautifully with just one. The automatic modes and customized manual functions eliminate guesswork.
- Sauté, boil, simmer, as on a cooktop
- Bake, roast, even "fry" without oil
- Prepare all-in-one dishes automatically (Stroganoff anyone?)
Preheating is extremely fast; your meal is ready that much quicker. There simply has never been a more versatile cooking instrument.
"Impossible" new dishes made easy
It's almost supernatural, the way the Wolf convection steam oven works. Choose the cooking mode combining steam and convection that's ideal for your dish. The oven's unique digital technology senses the amount and size of the food, and automatically adjusts all the details of cooking.
Case in point: filo-wrapped ice cream. Hot, delicate, crispy-brown pastry surrounds ice cream still firmly frozen. Astonishing. And impossible for any other oven.
New life for leftovers
For reheating foods, no microwave or conventional oven can hold a candle to Wolf convection steam. From rice dishes to pizza to fine cuts of meat, you'll be astonished at the flavor and appearance. Even bread several days old becomes bakery fresh again. When leftovers taste fresh and delicious, you'll waste less food.

There are many stories about job interviews at Google. But the most interesting part of any story is the list of questions:
Zach had a phone interview in October 2005 and he was asked things like:
"Google gets queries from around the world. Write a function that will return a two character string representing a country code given an IP address as its input."
Here is the answer:
"Essentially, you have to create a tree structure with the country codes as the leaves at the very bottom. I chose to split the IP addresses by octets. So the top level would contain all of the starting and ending numbers corresponding to the first octet on the IP address. So this tree structure would be very wide but only 4 levels deep."
Pete Abilla was a little luckier and knew how to answer this question:
"You are at a party with a friend and 10 people are present including you and the friend. Your friend makes you a wager that for every person you find that has the same birthday as you, you get $1; for every person he finds that does not have the same birthday as you, he gets $2. Would you accept the wager?"
"The answer has to do with the number of days in the year and the probability the person's birthday falls on the same day as mine (without replacement). I eventually solved it, but it took time learning how to apply probability with no replacement."
An interesting problem from Google's aptitude test:
Given a triangle ABC, how would you use only a compass and straight edge to find a point P such that triangles ABP, ACP, and BCP have equal perimeters? (Assume that ABC is constructed so that a solution does exist.)
The moderator of gamedev.net had a phone interview with rather odd questions:
Explain a database in three sentences to your eight-year-old nephew.
How many gas stations would you say there are in the United States?
You are shrunk to the height of a nickel and your mass is proportionally reduced so as to maintain your original density. You are then thrown into an empty glass blender. The blades will start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do?
Niniane Wang, who works at Google, has some tips for a job interview:
# Practice using the same medium (e.g. paper and pencil) and time limits (e.g. 30 minutes) as the real interview.
# During the interview, don't obsess over little mistakes that happen.
# Don't be rude to your interviewer.
# Don't hijack the interview (if you really want to talk about a project, ask your interviewer).
# When answering questions expecting a specific answer, give a high-level summary first.
So if you want to work at Google, get ready and good luck!

In the 1980s, the audience for Louisiana music was a mere handful of hipsters fans. Music collector types. Louisiana music wasn't on radio or commercials or movie sound tracks. There was no "Treme." The local musicians we take for granted today were barely gigging in town much less touring.

The Swamp Foxes travel to Goose Creek Friday to take on an experienced Stratford squad.
The Knights are a well-balanced team that is off to a 3-0 start this season. Ashley Ridge, at 0-3, is still looking for its first win.
"Stratford has a very good quarterback in Jacob Park who is really accurate and also runs well," Ashley Ridge coach Kenny Walker said. "He is an Elite 11 quarterback and for good reason. They have other weapons as well but he is the main threat. We will have to get pressure on him in creative ways."
Park has already thrown for more than 870 yards and eight touchdowns this year. However, the QB is just one part of a senior class that has been looked upon for a number of years as one that could get Stratford back where it used to be. There are a lot of playmakers in that 20-man class and last year they helped the Knights have their best season since 2006.
Stratford has some skilled running backs and isn't afraid to put the ball in their hands if their oppononets limit passing options.
Ray Stackley is one of the most successful coaches in the state and, as usual, he has put together a team that is strong on both sides of the ball.
"Their defense is experienced," Walker said. "When I watch film on them, I see a lot of players who played against us when they were just freshmen and they were good then."
The Swamp Foxes have several skilled athletes, but have struggled putting a complete game together this season. Two of their three losses are to teams that enter play Friday undefeated.
Last week junior running back Tyler Garland had a 100-yard rushing night in a 20-10 loss to West Ashley.
The Knights are a very tough test, but if Ashley Ridge can break its losing streak anything is still possible. The Swamp Foxes also got out to a slow start in 2011 but ended up winning their region and advancing to the semi-finals of the state playoffs.

A portion of the wall surrounding the Aiken County Historical Museum that was destroyed by an alleged drunken driver this week will have to be rebuilt, and officials do not yet have a cost estimate for the repairs.
Elliott Levy, executive director of the museum, said it is not known whether or not the driver, 19-year-old Lindsey Nicole Boyd, has insurance or if the County has insurance on the wall.
Boyd allegedly drove her Chevrolet Trailblazer through the wall at the intersection of Laurens Street and South Boundary Avenue about 12:20 a.m. on Wednesday, according to an Aiken Public Safety report.
Investigators determined Boyd was driving south on Laurens Street toward South Boundary Avenue, and while attempting to make a left turn onto South Boundaery, her vehicle traveled into the oncoming traffic lane on Laurens Street and then South Boundary, according to the report. The car traveled across South Boundary, exited the roadway and struck the wall.
"It's going to have to be rebuilt," Levy said, adding that a cost estimate for the repairs was not available. "We want to follow the same exact footprint that was there. The problem is, you repair that portion of the wall, you also have to repaint the whole wall, because otherwise it looks like a patch job."
A small house on the museum's property was built around 1860, and Banksia, the Winter Colony mansion that houses the museum, was built in the 1930s. Levy said the brick serpentine wall was built around the same time as the mansion.
"This kind of thing is taken out of my hands," he said. "Building and maintenance and the engineering department decide what will happen and who will do the work."
According to the report, Boyd and the other occupants in the vehicle had been drinking prior to the crash. Boyd was charged with DUI, no proof of insurance and minor in possession of alcohol.

Last December, the Moretown Development Review Board (DRB) granted Moretown Landfill a continuance on its application to construct a fourth trash cell so that the Route 2 facility could focus on recertifying its existing cells. The DRB continued its Cell 4 hearings on Thursday, May 2, one day after the landfill announced it was withdrawing its application and would be submitting a new application that better addresses town concerns.
Moretown Landfill's Cell 4 expansion application was submitted by Interstate Waste Services in January of 2012, months before Advanced Disposal Services took over the facility in September of 2012. "As new owners of [Moretown Landfill], we have now had a chance to make a careful evaluation of the landfill site and its expansion plans," Advanced Disposal regional vice president Dave Lavender said in a May 1 letter to DRB chair John Riley explaining the company's reason for withdrawing the landfill's application.
"As a result of this evaluation, we believe we can improve the application and address the previous concerns raised by the DRB," Lavender wrote, explaining that Advanced Disposal plans to submit a new application by late summer.
The DRB reconvened on Thursday as planned to formally acknowledge receipt of Lavender's letter. The board accepted the notice of withdrawal of the application and agreed that, without a pending application, it has no reason to conduct further hearings on the matter at the moment.
The landfill is also involved in permitting issues at the state level where it is appealing an Agency of Natural Resources permit denial that was issued in March. That decision denied the landfill the ability to re-open previously closed cells and required it to close its doors by April 15. The landfill appealed that decision and asked that it be allowed to operate during the appeal process. That request was granted and the landfill remains open for business until July 15.

When we did our Halloween special this year on RBL we had Kevin Falk and Leo Giamani playing phantoms who give Reese Rideout a spooky fantasy. Well, it wouldn't take a brain surgeon to see the chemistry between them. While that was a smokin' hot three-way I couldn't wait to get the two of them together. Kevin is a sexual beast. He's a very sweet, good natured guy when you are hanging out with him casually, but when he's turned on he has this effect on other guys that's quite compelling to see. His sexual energy fills the room and he just takes over. He knows what he wants and he just gets it. Then we have Leo Giamani, with a body that needs to be immortalized in marble. Every inch of this guy is muscular perfection, from his brick wall of a chest to the giant manrammer between his legs. And his handsome Italian features would pop a boner in the straightest of straight guys. With Kevin's sexual energy and Leo's pure hotness, especially since the both of them have the most amazing bodies

At the last Southern Ohio Port Authority (SOPA) a multi-agency presentation was given about a proposed project for the site of the former New Boston Coke Plant.
According to Bill Thacker, SOPA Acting Chairman, conversations have been ongoing with the Ohio Development Services Agency along with the U.S. and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), "to test a demonstration project at the site of the old New Boston Coke Plant, which is pretty much contaminated. The site has benzene, PCP's, some coal tar and things of that nature," Thacker said. "This (demonstration project) is a technology that's been developed by Patel Institute. In essence it's a smoldering technology which you would literally burn, underground the pollutants and clean it up that way."
He said if the technology works it would cut the cost of remediation.
During the presentation it was reviled that the project would cost about $600,000 to complete. All but $157,000 of the project has been covered with a combination of funding from state and federal sources.
"What we would like to do is implement this pilot project on a portion of this land, to see if this would be feasible on a larger scale and to get this site shovel ready," said Erin Hazelton, Ohio Development Services Agency. "The EPA has done some work on it (New Boston Site) in the years past and it's so contaminated that it's not feasible to dig and haul (away) everything out of there."
She said this demonstration project is the newest technology that has the best chance of cleaning the site up.
Hazelton said the project will be broken up into two phases with the first phase being the gathering of information about the site.
"Phase two is when they will put heating elements in the ground and let her rip. Phase two of the project will not be started until all of the funding is in place," Hazelton said. "The good news is that phase one is fully funded."
She said the project is on a timeline with Mother Nature.
"For this project to work, we need to have phase one activities completed by July so, we can start and complete phase two at a time of the year when it's the driest," Hazelton said.
She asked the group to make a decision on if they would like to proceed with the project because, to have all of the necessary paper work in place and to meet Mother Nature's deadline.
Hazelton gave the group two weeks to make a final determination.
According to Thacker, a vote was taken of the SOPA board members and the consensus was to move forward with the project only if funding could be found and SOPA would not have to foot the bill.
"We conducted an online and a telephone poll vote and just got the results in. The agreement was that we would participate on the condition that the contracts were amended to give us (SOPA) a clear out, with no financial responsibility, incase the project is not fully funded," Thacker said.

Which way do we go?
March 25, 2003 10:23PM
All the poles are in except one. This weekend trails and directional signs should be in. Last weekend there was mass confusion because existing holes were pulled and moved to the new fairways. The Parks Department had us pull one pole completely out because it had been placed in a location they wanted us to stay out of there around the Visitor Center. The Red Course (front) now has 18 holes while the Blue Course (back) still has 19 holes. Things should be a lot clearer after this weekend. The existing holes on the Red Course are vintage 1981. The poles are larger than the newer poles. We have ordered the larger collars and sleeves and will have the one pole in as soon as they arrive from DGA. Hopefully they'll arrive by this weekend. Course map should be finished this week barring in further design changes.
The Red Course and Blue Course are quite different from each other despite being in the same area. I would describe the Red Course as a wooded course with distinct elevation changes requiring strong accurate throws that will provide some 2's. It may be easier to get 3's. The Blue Course is more open and more distance. Still playing through the trees, throws will require more finesse with confident power. I don't know how it's all going to really play. I would like to think that the Red Course is more of an equalizer while the Blue Course does favor the stronger arms. I am looking forward to seeing the scores at our Southern National May 17-18.
Ya'll come now, ya hear!!

I just went to tournament listings and saw that Little Rock is that weekend...Is this replacing Burns park? Or am I confused all together!
Thanks for responding!

Addie- you are not confused. Bill and the gang in Little Rock have added another 18 hole course at Burns Park. Great job!! Hopefully it'll get worked in within the next year since it appears I may be moving to the Rock next year. (any chance of getting more courses, Mobile has me spoiled) Later...

Since we have an extra basket, now that the park made us pull the one by the visiter's center, I would like to cast my vote for a practice basket by the joint # 1 teepad for both courses....Just a thought unless you have plans to squeeze in a hole somewhere else.

John, we do have another course in the works at Boyle Park in Little Rock. We have marked 18 holes, but that's as far as we've gotten because of all the work that was required at Burns Park. Hopefully we will have that course in by next years state championships.
Bill Trousdale
Re: Which way do we go?
March 28, 2003 01:07AM
Yes, it's Burns Park, North Little Rock. Instead of adding 18 holes I think of it as putting in two new courses. The Red Course (18 holes) only has three existing holes. Everything else is new. The Blue Course (19 holes) has 10 of the existing holes. The other nine are new. However there are alternate pin placements planned for several of the existing holes. They may be in by the May 17-18 SN. With a month and a half left we're looking pretty good. I finished the course map. If I scan it is there some place I can send it for posting so ya'll can get a preview?

We became Thanksgiving nomads shortly after my brother died. For a year or two my sister-in-law continued to gather everyone for the holiday. Then there was a while when we'd go to my parents in Massachusetts and I'd take care of everything there. That stopped when my parents decided to begin their annual snowbird flight to Sanibel before the end of November. So somehow we joined the gang at our friends Marjorie and Doug's–their parents, in-laws, cousins, cousins' kids and any strays without a Thanksgiving to attend, because that's the way Marjorie and Doug are. Generous. Everyone makes something: Marjorie's cousins Susan and Larry make this scrumptious sweet potato dish that has evolved over the years–the recipe calls for condensed milk. I think they now use skim. Yummy anyway. I make cranberry sauce (in the pot in the photo above) and a scrumptious pumpkin chocolate chip cake. Ask me and I'll give you the recipe.
The Thanksgiving Parade was baked into the tradition during the early years, when the kids were young. We live right off the parade route, and Howard and Doug would set off early to secure a spot on the sidewalk curb. A couple of hours later I'd join them with the well-layered children, blankets, a large thermos of hot chocolate, and a bag of homemade blond brownies. (One year it snowed and we managed to find seats in the grandstand. Luckily during the parade years it never poured.) Then we'd go home, change our clothes, and walk down the block to Marjorie and Doug's. I can mark some of the years with images of Ariel's winter dress-up coats: year after year of navy blue or green wool with velvet collars and cuffs. The dads would then take the kids to Riverside park for some football (the girls in their maryjanes and white tights, yes, crazy but true) while everyone else prepared the feast.
From the beginning Marjorie instituted a pre-meal ritual where we'd go around the table and everyone would say what he or she was grateful for. The kids hated this. Whether there were six or ten young ones or teens, they'd all say, one after another, in a sing-song voice, "I'm grateful for family and friends." For a couple of years they were banned from doing this. Now when Michael, 28, says he's grateful for his sister, Dana, 32, we all go, "awwww."
I have always dreaded this saying-what-you're-grateful thing too. For several years I was caring for my mentally and physically deteriorating mother. Yes, I always knew I'm so lucky to have what I have, but that fact of my life kind of soured the picture when I had to put things into words. Likewise, this year I really haven't been looking forward to it: the kids remain unemployed. The economy is bad. I worry about what will happen when the republicans take over in January 2013.
Then a couple of days ago Howard showed me an article in the New York Times about being grateful. Actually, everyone was linking to it on Twitter and Facebook (http://nyti.ms/ruQIQN). According to the research John Tierney gathered, being grateful for things and expressing our gratitude makes us feel better. Tierney writes that as Robert A. Emmons, of the University of California, Davis, advises in his book Thanks, "If you want to sleep more soundly, count blessings, not sheep." So here's me doing some gratitude counting. I go from the sublime to the seemingly trivial. But nothing here is small in my life. And, of course, the list is incomplete. The more I think about it, the more I have to be thankful for.
- I am thankful for my family. I have a wonderful, smart husband who loves us all. My kids may be unemployed, and this does stress us all, but I know we'll look back on this as just an episode in our lives. They'll get jobs. That dog in the photo above: That's Landry, my daughter's "rescue" dog. Off of Craig's List. Yes, I had a fit. But he is the best, sweetest pup. How lucky he was that they found him. How lucky I am to have him at my feet as a write.
- I am thankful for my friends. The people I know astound me (a natural cynic) with their generosity of heart and spirit. They make my world.
- I am thankful for my parents. My father's been dead over a decade, my mother for nearly five years, but every day I benefit from the blessing of being their child: my intelligence, my talent, my values, what I am deep inside–I owe that to them.
- I am thankful for social media. Yes, this may seem a little trivial, but social media has opened for me a whole new life, a new platform. Through Twitter I have made astonishing connections and met people who devote their lives to promoting social good, people I admire.
- I am thankful for my piano. Yes, I am. Music enriches my life; my piano Mason & Hamlin concert grand, dating from 1904, is special.
- I am grateful for WQXR and WMHT radio. When I think about how these stations improve the quality of my life . . . .
- I am thankful to the American Ballet Theatre. The beauty of movement and music coupled–I love ballet the most of all the arts.

Free Christian music festival set for July 28Written by David Yonke Editor, ToledoFAVS.com | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Exclaim!, one of the largest Christian music festivals in Northwest Ohio, has been growing each year in every way except one: ticket price. The first Exclaim! in 2010 was free and it's been that way ever since.
Now in its fourth year, the festival set for July 28 will feature music by national artists Jeremy Camp, Hawk Nelson, and the Jacob and Matthew Band and Ohio singer Amanda Vernon.
Camp, who performs at 5 p.m. July 28, has had 32 No. 1 songs on the Christian music charts and won five Dove Awards, while Hawk Nelson, a Canadian trio that will perform at 3:30 p.m., was voted Favorite New Artist by readers of CCM Magazine in 2006.
The festival will also offer an array of family-friendly activities, including crafts and inflatable games for kids, an outreach tent to raise awareness about homeless teens, and a magic show by the Rev. Mark Davis.
Davis, pastor of St. Aloysius Catholic Church in Bowling Green, has been performing magic tricks since childhood and is known for telling stories and adding spiritual epilogues to his act. He said magic is an art form that can be used to teach about God.
"Are we comfortable with the experience of not knowing?" Davis asked. "If we are really uncomfortable with mystery, then how in the world are we going to have a relationship with a God who is so much greater than us?"
Exclaim! will have plenty of concession stands offering food and beverages for purchase, but visitors are welcome to bring a picnic lunch.
"We don't want people stressing out [over money]. We do everything we can to keep this event free so people who can't afford to come can still be there," said Michael Puppos, one of the founders of Exclaim! and the pastoral associate for music and liturgy at Blessed John XXIII Parish in Perrysburg.
To help offset expenses, which totaled $92,000 this year, organizers will ask for donations, he added.
Besides the free admission, Exclaim! also differs from most festivals in the way it balances a Catholic identity with an intentionally broad, ecumenical appeal.
"It's organized by Catholics and it maintains a Catholic identity for people who want to experience those forms of prayer and worship," Puppos said. "But if you're not Catholic, there are lots of activities. We want to make everyone feel at home."
The Catholic imprint will include a prayer tent, priests hearing confessions and a "Stump the Priest" contest with the Rev. Jeff McBeth and the Rev. Jeff Walker.
Bishop Leonard Blair, leader of the 318,000-member Toledo Catholic Diocese, will close the day with an outdoor Mass at 7 p.m., concelebrated by area priests.
"I think Exclaim! is a great idea," Blair said. "It's family-friendly, and brings together a diversity of people who want to praise God through music. It's also an occasion for the celebration of an outdoor Mass, and other opportunities for prayer and faith enrichment. I'm grateful to those who organize Exclaim! and those who support it, I hope will continue be an annual event."
Each year since Exclaim! was founded, organizers have made a point of shining a light on a social issue in the Toledo area.
"We want it to be more than a concert," Puppos said. "We want it to be something that makes a difference in the community."
Ken Leslie, founder of Tent City and 1Matters, is heading up this year's focus on raising awareness and providing help for teenagers who are homeless.
"Exclaim! has been exceptional at bringing people together and helping them feel the word of God," Leslie said. "This year they're taking it a step further. They are helping students feel the actions of Jesus Christ."
In his talks to local school assemblies, Leslie discovered that homeless students are often too embarrassed or ashamed to seek help.
Students from throughout the Toledo area have formed a group called "Within" that aims to get teenagers to look within themselves, as well as within their communities, for ways to help the needy.
They learn to spot signs of homelessness in their fellow students, such as infrequent showers or someone carrying a large gym bag full of clothes when they're not on a sports team, Leslie said.
When homeless teens hear from others who were in their predicament, and when they see that people genuinely want to help, they are more likely to step up and get assistance, Leslie said.
Exclaim! 2013 is 2-9 p.m. July 28 at the Monsignor Schmit CYO Athletic Complex, 555 S. Holland-Sylvania Road, Toledo. Parking is free. If the lot is full, shuttle buses will provide transportation to the festival but organizers advise everyone to come to the CYO complex first.
More information is available online at www.ExclaimToledo.org or by calling (419) 874-6502.
David Yonke is the editor and community manager of Toledo Faith & Values (ToledoFAVS.com), a website that provides in-depth, nonsectarian news coverage of religion, faith and spirituality in the Toledo area.

Wish we could submit our own ideas for new Monopoly pieces.
Attachment 16642
Keep the cat.
Get rid of the wheelbarrow.
I like the cat/ the iron can go.
I was thinking that the iron is pretty dated so maybe that should go, but then again, most of the pieces could use a bit of an update.......LOL
This kind of makes me sad! The new pieces are all neat, but I think I'll be replacing my long lost Monopoly game with a new one before the new piece makes it's debut.
...can we please just lose the lame-azz thimble?...thank you P. Bros...now, here's MY suggestion...(tongue in cheek of course)...little people holding hands in bathtubs(to honor the plethora of Cialis commercials), a 32oz Soda, Donald Trump's hairpiece, and a battling Minaj/Carey duo figure....
My old Monopoly game got flooded along with some of my prize SK books. I don't want any of the pieces to change. Change is not always good

Had a Guitarist try out today..... oh boy....
First of all, I sent him 2 songs to learn and his response was "yeah cool I could definitely write something over that". And I was like "These are already existing parts that we need you to learn for now." he mentioned doing solos and I told we were not interested in someone who wants to slap guitar solos on everything. and he said that was cool, so no harm no foul.
He shows up late and doesn't apologize or anything, not that it was a huge deal or anything, but it would normally be common courtesy just throw out a "sorry Im late guys" and it wouldn't have been a big deal.
I have my Vox AC30 already set up for him to use, and he says "oh I'll use my own". kind of dumb, but its cool, people like their own gear, but it was only dumb because he brought in some hartke solid state head with a crate cab and it sounded awful. Also, he clearly did not take care of his gear.
Then we get to the playing. We sent him 2 songs to learn. I have the tracks from where we recorded, so I just sent him drums and lead for him. the whole first song was ridiculous. He was so far off it was distracting everyone else. He was essentially writing his own part over the songs, which I specifically told him not to do.
We got done playing the 1st song and the bass player says "You wanna try running over that one again" and I just said "lets just move on to the next song". We get to the first chorus and I just stopped everything because he basically started soloing over stuff and I was like "Look man... I dont want to waste your time or ours, but you clearly did not come prepared, you didnt learn the parts, you seem like you barely even listened to the songs, this is just really not going to work out"
I just had to vent a little bit. I cannot understand what goes through these people's heads. His "solo work" was unbelievably terrible and as a musician who takes music very seriously, I dont understand how you can do something like that and think it sounds good. Now at the same time, we are not divas looking for a puppet, we would love someone who can give their input, but you dont come to a band tryout and tell them you rewrote the parts. We just wanted to find someone who we really got along with, could play the parts, and be respectful, so it was just kind of offensive when he literally even said "I mean the song is super simple I could write better parts over that anyway". It just blew my mind how someone can be that rude and immature. rant over. thanks for listening.
any fun try out stories?
Re: Had a Guitarist try out today..... oh boy....
I have a bizarre tryout story. I was answering an ad to be the guitarist for a cover band. They gave me 3 songs to audition with, and I nailed them. The drummer, who placed the ad, said, "Well, it looks like we got our guitarist!" The bass player seemed unimpressed. For the next 2 rehearsals, same thing--10 songs per rehearsal, I nail them all with backing vocals, the drummer is ecstatic, but the bass player doesn't say a word and just shows looks of discontentment. In telephone conversations with the drummer, he assures me that the bass player is just "odd" in social situations. It turns out that the bass player didn't like me because I was 23...didn't matter that I could nail the parts. He didn't like younger guys being in the band. The "looks" started to make sense, and I found out after getting an apologetic boot from the drummer, that the bass player was calling the shots. I'm still frustrated about that to this day. At least you had the decent idea to come right out and talk to the guitarist during the audition...
Be vewwy quiet, I'm hunting Lawwy

Re: Had a Guitarist try out today..... oh boy....
My tryout story is a bit different. It was me trying out for a band prior to the one I'm in now. Original material band. I get sent some songs, & get them down just fine prior to the audition. I turn up on time, set up, & we run through the songs I was sent. I kept everything absolutely simple - no farting about whatsoever. Anyhow, after each song, the singer kept asking me to play faster, even though I was playing at exactly the tempo of the recorded songs. He then starts requesting totally different beats to their own originals. I oblige, even though his suggestions were crap. This singer was obviously the band leader, but kinda on steroids. The other band members were almost silent through the audition. It was obvious to me that he wanted total control. "Fine, if your paying me, but you're not" was going through my mind. Anyhow, I asked if he'd mind me putting my own stuff to one song that I quite liked. He reluctantly said OK. We went through the track. It was obvious to everyone but the singer that it sounded much better (less busy/frantic), with more purpose & power, but he was having non of it.
I cut the "audition" short, said openly that I didn't think I was a good fit for the band, & left. In the following weeks, I received phone calls from both the guitarist & bass player, saying they really wanted me in the band. I told them the reason for my decision, & they "understood". The singer called me too, & I gave him my reasons, although he didn't see what the issue was.
Glad I didn't get caught up in that :)
Re: Had a Guitarist try out today..... oh boy....
I have to many to count....the moody songwriter who dosen't know theory...the drug/alchohol scenes...the unmotivated....the unequiped...the unskilled(superior to the others in this list)...any combination of these...list goes on and on.
Re: Had a Guitarist try out today..... oh boy....
At least you got sent the material.
In one of my 1st auditions ever, I tried out for a band who did 'originals' none of it online or even a myspace etc . they were very un-planned communicators, called me only one day before the audition to when/where to show up, but gave me NO material to listen to before hand. Not one note. I show up. They rehearsed in a tiny one room shack, dirt floor, leaky. Rats could have lived in the bass drum. To save space all microphone stands were inverted and nailed to the ceiling lol!! At least they had imagination. The drum kit had hihats that would not open, floor tom heads covered with 5 bumper stickers, but worst, all the cymbals in/on one tall stand, kind of a tree of just all cymbals up to the ceiling. How do I play that? Well I play that by just using my un-opening hats.
OK I'm not a snob, we'll give it a go. I am thinking we'll do some standard covers, but they launch right into their originals, 8 in a row, like I am supposed to have heard them all already, allover the radio. They start each one saying. "this one goes like this"....WTF, I try to play along. It was awful of course, they looking dumbfounded at me as to why I don't know parts or cannot play the right fill. I should have just got up and told them their expectations were ridiculous. But I persevered. Dumb.
I've been through a few since then and I agree with you, when things are not going well its best to stand up, pipe up and say whats on your mind, and even leave if need be.
Re: Had a Guitarist try out today..... oh boy....
Re: Had a Guitarist try out today..... oh boy....
If you pay me, I'll play what you want. If you're not paying me, you have to, at a bare minimum, listen to my ideas.
Re: Had a Guitarist try out today..... oh boy....
Looks like I might be re-launching my career as a bass player.
It's times like this I thank my stars that I can actually play the bass well and have an ear to pick up the songs from rough recordings.
Re: Had a Guitarist try out today..... oh boy....
Re: Had a Guitarist try out today..... oh boy....
I got called for an "audition" many moons ago by a guitar player who got my name from the local music store. He threw some songs at me over the phone and set a date. I show up and he and his bass player are set up in a one car garage with a heavily taped cheesey drum kit set between two speaker cabinets on crates, so when I sat at the drums I literally had two speakers facing inward to me at angles three feet from my head. It was so loud I was flogging the drum set like Thor and still could barely hear the snare or cymbals. Thing was I really liked the music they played and the guys were fairly nice. So at the end of the night the bass player hands me a tape (yeah...it was that long ago) and says "hey man learn these for the next time we get together". I was pumped.
I got a call about a week later from the bass player.
"Hey...Jim (the guitar player) says you can't drum loud enough...guess we can't use you".

Re: Had a Guitarist try out today..... oh boy....
I posted this audition story two years ago long story short:
I audition for a very well known regional act in my area. The guitarist / leader tells me "we have a set of drums for you to play" So i bring some cymbals and my snare. They give my six songs to learn on cd and i was prepared. I arrive at the audition to discover the drumset they were providing was literally a "toy" drumset, complete with concrete block to keep the bass drum from moving. I played my heart out and nailed the audition even on the crappy drums. Turns out my audition was simply a "going through the motions" as i later found out the drummer had already been selected the day before. Total waste of time!
Max Roach did it, Elvin Jones did it, but Roy Haynes didit and didit and didit.

NEW YORK, May 06, 2014 — As seen in a recent NY Times article, published on April 28, 2014 by Ben Rothenberg, wrist injuries are now overtaking tennis elbow. Ben cites Dr. Richard Berger an orthopedic surgeon at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., "….Tennis is one of those sports that, honestly, the wrist is one of the structures at most risk because the force of contact with the ball is transmitted directly through the wrist…."
It is already well documented that half of all tennis players will develop an arm injury in their lifetime. Found here is more information about the arm injury epidemic, as 34 of the top 40 players have retired from 117 matches from an arm injury.
Independent scientific studies have been done on hollow "air molded" racquets and dual core and triple core racquets, showing that less shock is transmitted with the dual core and triple core racquets. The full study shows that a child in an intensive training program will receive at least 400,000 lbs of force in the arm by using hollow racquets, in which most consumers are unaware that these racquets are hollow, and will eventually incur permanent injury requiring surgery.
According to Dr. Joshua Dines, an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in Sports Medicine at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery and former team doctor for the U.S. Davis Cup team, "If shock and stress is reduced by three times, the likelihood of injury is exponentially less because you are playing well below the injury threshold and there is faster recovery during off times."
