(MCT) WEST MADISON — Scott has sewn up a spot in the Class AA playoffs for the eighth time in the last 10 seasons.
How long the Skyhawks (7-2) expect to stick around once the postseason begins Nov. 9 remains to be seen. After a 23-0 home loss Friday to No. 4 Robert C. Byrd (9-1), Scott Coach Shane Griffith took a moment to assess his team's place in the Class AA pecking order.
"We know what we are, but we're trying to get better. I think we're a bubble team. Not a bubble team that is trying to get into the playoffs every year, but a bubble team in terms of trying to crack into that upper level of programs in double-A," Griffith said.
"The problem we have right now is that in our last two home games both have been against teams on that level, and we've not given our home fans very much to cheer about in those games," he said.
Byrd held Scott to 104 total yards (106 rushing), regularly beating Skyhawks running backs into running lanes while making use of its team speed on defense.
In its previous home game on Oct. 5, Scott dropped a 47-6 decision to top-ranked and defending state champion Wayne (9-0).
The Skyhawks' leading rusher on the season, junior Robert Bias, entered the game with 915 yards. He was held to five yards on nine carries. Tristan Crone and Cameron Loftus each ran for 52 yards against the Eagles.
"I think they're a faster team than what we expected them to be," Griffith said.
Numerous injuries have piled up for Scott in recent weeks, as well. On Friday, the team lost junior quarterback Cody Brown to a knee injury late in the first half. Griffith said the injury did not appear to be serious, and Brown was held out the remainder of the game for precautionary measures.
Scott finishes its regular season with a home game against Class AAA Logan (6-3) on Friday night. A year ago, Scott stunned the Wildcats in the final game of the regular season with a 38-7 win in Logan that handed the hosts just their second loss of the 2011 season.
"We know they'll be coming in fighting for their playoff lives," Griffith said. "We've got a lot of bonus points to offer them, so with all things considered we need to be ready."
RCB Coach Bruce Carey wrapped up his first regular season with the Eagles with the win at Scott. Afterward, he told his players not to be satisfied with a 9-1 record and a playoff spot.
He elaborated after the team meeting.
"I told them they can't be too happy and start celebrating yet," said Carey, who coached at Bridgeport from 1997-2009 and won a Class AA state championship with the Indians in 2000.
"The goal can't be to get into the playoffs. You hear a lot about teams who want to still be playing on Thanksgiving, and — funny enough — it's usually those same teams who are playing on Thanksgiving weekend every year.
"Byrd hasn't had a lot of success in the playoffs, and that's what we're trying to change."
Byrd, which dropped to Class AA this season, has an all-time postseason record of 3-10, and has never advanced past the quarterfinal round.

Roosevelt Middle School and the surrounding community of Eugene, Oregon, have successfully developed a team of community organizations committed to providing Safe Routes to School (SRTS) for children.
Roosevelt Middle School was constructed in 1942, and the combination of a small parking lot and high traffic volume created safety hazards for students who walked or bicycled to school. In 2005, Roosevelt began addressing health and safety issues through a School Wellness Committee comprised of parents, community members and school personnel, as well as city officials, engineers, planners, transit officials and a professor of urban planning at the University of Oregon.
"I think we're on track to be a strong program, and it's really because of building that relationship with the district," said Shane Rhodes, SRTS Program Manager for Roosevelt Middle School. "Having many collaborators is important; each one will play a key role."
Roosevelt Middle School received $37,532 for a one-year pilot program, which began in October 2007. The funds covered the hiring of a SRTS Coordinator and a laptop and projector to share the SRTS program with feeder schools and other groups. The grant also funded the cost of bicycle helmets, safety vests and modest incentives for SRTS events, according to Julie Yip, Oregon SRTS Coordinator.
Another key component to this program's success has been Roosevelt Middle School's match of $20,493 in in-kind services. The school contributed $10,110 in volunteer time for SRTS events and for the SRTS Coordinator to attend the Seattle ProWalk/ProBike Conference as part of a panel discussion on partnership development, Yip notes. The school donated printing and equipment and also matched $7,310 in other direct costs that included bicycle instructor training.
"Oregon SRTS investment at the Roosevelt project has seen great bang for the buck," Yip says, adding that the program has grown under the coordinator's direction from the middle school to mentoring schools within the district and now involves the city of Eugene.
The Oregon SRTS program has granted the Eugene 4J School District another two-year award (FY 2009-2010) for $120,962 to continue SRTS activities and establish a sustainable program in Eugene.
As the middle school SRTS program manager, Rhodes divides his time among working with Roosevelt Middle School, the five elementary schools and the district on policies. He is helping the school create a resource guide that will include a document and CD with SRTS ideas and contact information as resources to help other schools develop their programs. Rhodes said the first thing schools need to do is develop an action plan to determine their needs in creating a successful SRTS program.
The school strengthened its bicycle safety program by having the school's physical education teacher become a trained bicycle safety educator through a certification program from the League of American Bicyclists. During the 2007 to 2008 school year, 22 percent of sixth graders participated in a bicycle safety program, Rhodes said, and he anticipates that in 2008 to 2009, 100 percent of sixth graders will participate. The school has its own fleet of bicycles and helmets, thanks to a grant from the Eugene Education Fund and an ACT Bicycle mini-grant. With the bicycles on-site, students can practice what they learn.
"Having it (bicycle education) at the middle school, that's where real change starts to happen," Rhodes said. "Students are trying to figure out what they want to do; it's a key part; you can have some solid bike education."
But he added that elementary education is also important.
Another success for Roosevelt is that it has been selected as the first Oregon site for the Freikometer, which provides a high-tech way to count students who ride their bicycles to school. During the 2007 to 2008 school year, five Boulder Valley School District, in Colorado, used the Freiker Program. Students insert a radio frequency identification tag into their bicycle helmets, and when they ride beneath the Freikometer installed near the bike racks, it counts the bicyclists once a day. The data is sent to a database, which makes it easy to track how often students bicycle to school.
"Students were really motivated," Rhodes said. "It also encourages helmet use."
Rhodes is working to develop ways to fund the Freiker automated counting through pledges.
Roosevelt is participating in other efforts to address pedestrian and bicycle safety. After distributing the SRTS parent survey in February 2007, in April the Wellness Committee designated two alternative lots adjacent to the school as "preferred parking" areas to reduce the number of single occupancy motor vehicles using the school's small main parking lot. To increase the number of parents who use the lots, the school publishes reminders in the monthly newsletter, and once a month the school's Bike Phantom gives out prizes and raffle tickets to students who are dropped off at the lots. During Walk & Roll Week, the school sponsors a quesadilla breakfast for those who park in the preferred "Park and Stride" areas, with a goal of decreasing campus drop-offs by 30 percent.
At the school's request, the city assists safety efforts by providing the school with parking enforcement officials during the first weeks of the school year. These officials help reinforce proper pedestrian and motor vehicle traffic laws to ensure the safe use of the main parking lot and main roads around the school. The city repainted the crosswalks at two major intersections in front of the school, which improved drivers' views of the cross points and created a safer place for the students to cross.
In October 2007, approximately 80 students, parents and staff from Roosevelt Middle School participated in the school's first annual International Walk to School Day. One year later, thanks to efforts of a team of community members committed to Eugene's SRTS program, the school district has had a 300 percent increase in participation in International Bike and Walk to School Day with 9,000 students from 28 schools participating.
Roosevelt Middle set a goal to have 80 percent of its sixth graders complete the Bike Education Class in 2007-2008. Rhodes worked to develop Kidical Mass community bike rides that begin with safety instruction and end with a bike ride to a fun location such as a park or ice cream shop. The events educate all levels of bicyclists and also promote networking
In January 2008, the City of Eugene held a Walk & Bike Summit that encouraged community members to come together to share ideas. One of the three breakout sessions was targeted for SRTS. After the Summit, the Eugene SRTS Team was formed and included members of the City Council, a university professor, a pediatric nurse, a public transit employee working on a Smart Ways to School program, a community group promoting "healthy and active youth" and a Roosevelt representative. The team is finalizing its Goals and Activities and working to expand its membership to include representatives from two local school districts as well as a student. The team is writing a position paper to bring to the school board to discuss transportation choices and goals.
"We have a really good, strong team," Rhodes says, "with buy-in" from the school district, Lane Transit District's Smart Way to School Program, the city's Transportation Planning Department, the University of Oregon's Planning, Public Policy and Management Department, the Lane Coalition for Healthy Active Youth and the Bicycle Transportation Alliance.
Successful SRTS efforts in the pilot project have been spreading to other schools in the district, and Rhodes said that is a key goal of the pilot project. "Every school has its own needs," he notes.

Love and Death: Driving Forces of Drama. Love and death are the fundamental themes of drama's two classical forms: comedy and tragedy. Often the two are intertwined. In both Romeo and Juliet and Othello, an intense love that crosses boundaries results in the deaths of the protagonists. Claudio in Measure for Measure faces a sentence of death for sleeping with his betrothed before marriage, while Antonio in The Merchant of Venice is prepared to suffer death for the sake of his beloved friend Bassanio. In Judith Thompson's The Thrill, activists on either side of the euthanasia debate fall passionately in love. Even Noël Coward's classic comedy Blithe Spirit is a light-hearted tale of love after death. Inside/Out: Stories of Cultural Belonging. Communities are defined both by whom they include and by whom they exclude. Communities of various kinds, the conflicts that occur between and within them, and their often problematic relationships with outsiders in their midst feature in several of the season's plays. Examples include the feuding families of Romeo and Juliet; the Jewish community of Fiddler on the Roof, threatened both by change from within and by oppression from outside; and the plight of such outsiders as Shylock (who lives in a community that despises him) and Othello – who, despite being valued by the community, is made vulnerable by his own sense of "difference." Church, State and the Individual Conscience. Church and state are among our most potent expressions of collective identity. But what of those individuals who, like Shylock, do not subscribe to a society's prevailing faith, or to whom its values are alien? And what if our core institutions become tyrannical or corrupt? When does individual conscience trump the collective will? In Measure for Measure, draconian morality laws and a hypocritical administrator open the door to exploitation and abuse. In Mary Stuart, religion becomes a tool in the hands of cynical politicians as human lives are sacrificed in the supposed interests of the state. And tensions between church and state drive the plot of The Three Musketeers, as comrades in arms combat the scheming Cardinal Richelieu – the power behind the throne of France. Disability, Disillusion and Self-Discovery. Sometimes losing a faculty – or a faith – may open the door to unexpected revelation. In Tommy, a boy suffers the traumatic loss of sight, hearing and speech, then becomes a media sensation. But it is when those who have looked to him as a spiritual leader become disenchanted that he finds his true self. In The Thrill, a right-to-die activist and a wheelchair-bound crusader for the rights of the disabled fall in love – and discover unsuspected truths about themselves. And in Waiting for Godot, the near-paralysis of Beckett's two tramps – resolving to abandon their enigmatic rendezvous yet strangely unable to leave the appointed spot – is a poignant emblem of the human need to seek meaning and purpose in even the most spiritually barren of circumstances. Repression and Rebellion. The two frequently go hand in hand, both in societies and within the individual psyche. A violent history of political and religious turbulence shaped the police state that was Elizabethan England and led Elizabeth to execute her perceived rival for the crown, as dramatized in Schiller's Mary Stuart. Young love rebels against the strictures of tradition in Fiddler on the Roof and against entrenched clan hatreds in Romeo and Juliet. Meanwhile, in Measure for Measure, the state attempts not only to crack down on public licentiousness but to legislate private morality – and the interim ruler's repressive approach to public policy speaks volumes about his private inability to control his own rebellious flesh. Faith and Humanity. Faith – in the existence of a higher power, in the truth of ideas and principles or in the authority of leaders and institutions – can sustain people through their darkest hours. It can also blind them to reality, drive divisions between them and be perverted to justify atrocity. Many of this season's plays weigh the value of faith against that of simple humanity. The "faith" of the Christian community in The Merchant of Venice seems uncomfortably bound up with racism and intolerance, while the faith of Isabella in Measure for Measure is of an uncompromising kind that many find unsettling. Faith and political ideology entwine in Mary Stuart, with fatal results. The community of Fiddler on the Roof is united by its faith; that same faith makes it a target for hostility from outside. And Waiting for Godot raises the disquieting possibility of a universe in which faith is merely a futile exercise in empty hope.

The Cultural Arts Alliance of Greater Summerville announces a new
Juried Fine Art Show and Sale – this one, two-dimension art –which includes
painting, drawing and printmaking. This is the first time this genre will be featured, and the show begins next month.
The current photography show will remain up until Friday February 8
and artists can pick their work on Saturday February 9 from 9am-12 noon.
Work for the upcoming show will be accepted on Friday, March 1, will be
judged over that weekend, hung Monday March 4, and remain until May 17.
This year the opening reception will coordinate with Dream's Third Thursdays,
and will be held at Town Hall Thursday, March 21, from 5-7pm. The public is
invited to enjoy the show as well as wine and cheese.
The Alliance hung its first show in October 2010, featuring painting.
Attendees have been enthusiastic from the start, but particularly for the initial
"This is a real success!" Beth Wycoff observed.
Tim Lowry called it a "Great job!"
"It's phenomenal to look forward to such a good thing. I think there
should be more of them," Josephine Wakefield told me as I covered that first
show for the Journal Scene ."What an amazing way to spend an
evening looking at beautiful art work."
Both our current Mayor Bill Collins and our Mayor Emeritus Berlin
Myers have not only applauded but also supported this effort. Town Hall
employees have told me over the years how much they enjoy the color and
variety these shows give their workplace. Executive Assistant Bonnie Van
Etten, reports during every show that many visitors from in and out of town
come by to enjoy the art and share their pleasure with her.
That first juried show featured 20 paintings with pieces hanging on all
three floors. Since that time the Alliance has also featured, in rotation,
photography and quilts, mounting three or four shows each year. In 2012 the
Alliance offered the best of student art and plans are to repeat that this year
giving students and families as well as visitors the chance to see our talented
youth's work throughout the summer.
The exhibit is open to artists over the age of 18 who reside in Dorchester
County, and/or within the town limits of Summerville and adjacent
communities. All work must be original and created by the artist. An artist
contract must be signed and submitted with their entry. Each artist may
submit any number of pieces to be juried and must pay a $10 entry fee per
piece. Winners and other pieces chosen for display will be exhibited. All
accepted art must remain in the exhibit for the entire duration of the show.
Full details of show requirements, along with copies of the entry forms
and contracts, can be found online at www.TownHallArtShowcom. Rules and
Entry Forms will be also be available at People Places and Quilts and The
Finishing Touch, both located on Richardson Avenue, later this month.
The committee working on this show includes Jane Orenstein, Meg
Skow, Rich Lightfoot, John Lindroth, Jere Young and myself.
The committee looks forward to a good response from even more of
our fine artists as this exhibit offers a greater variety of work for the public to
view and more chances for artistic creativity.

Hi all, this was a request to support this effort "Fred that is so beautiful! I will copy this and send it to Animals Asia if that's OK with you. They post artwork on their site and they are known all over the world, hopefully your work will be seen by many. Thank you so much Fred! They do really great work, they rescue the bears from bile farms and they have a beautiful place the bears can live out the rest of their lives, happily. The bears have such a great ability to forgive."
Blue Ridge Mountains Art Center
Southern Appalachian Artists Guild
I just received a roll of YUPO paper and started some studies, these are W/C 10x12, fun to work with but different, next I'll try acrylics
Fred, it's not cute to have the bears behind bars but the bears are as cute as ever.
I know that yupo is a difficult surface to work on and you did a fantastic job. I really like the golden trees. It's very abstract. Lovely sky and red mountains in your landscape. Nice work.
Sam/Sammy C & C Welcome
Fred, how great that Animals Asia wanted your artwork!! The bears crying behind bars is so sad......reminds me of the commercials for the Humane Society. I can barely watch some of them - they make me cry.
Your 2 WCs done on Yupo paper are interesting. I esp. like the abstract one! I've never tried Yupo but I'm assuming it is a non-porous surface. Beginning to see ads for this on all the art sites.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Fred that is so beautiful! I will copy this and send it to Animals Asia if that's OK with you. They post artwork on their site and they are known all over the world, hopefully your work will be seen by many. Thank you so much Fred! They do really great work, they rescue the bears from bile farms and they have a beautiful place the bears can live out the rest of their lives, happily. The bears have such a great ability to forgive.
More YUPO work only this time with acrylics, next I'll try gouache
Fred I really like the last two painting. The bottom one reminds me of a tobacco bottom and the other looks like white birch like they have in the west
C and C always welcomed
Fred, I think I like the acrylics best so far. The cabin painting is very bright and warm. I like the second one the best and reminds me of the saying you can't see the forest for the trees. I can't tell if the birches are in front of the evergreens or the other way around. I also think they look like birches. I like the colours of the third painting.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Fred very colorful paintings. I have never heard of YUPO, what kind of paper is this?
C&C always welcome
Claudia Yupo is a synthetic paper (A K A plastic ) A lot of commercial artist use it.
Fred, you sure are experimenting and trying new things. I like your golden mountain and sky scene.
I've worked on Yupo a little. It is slick as could be. You can erase an entire watercolor painting with a damp cloth since it doesn't adhere to the plastic. The acrylic will adhere and is a little easier to layer colors. It's challenging.
I have only just caught up with this new year's Chatter! Five pages already!!!!!!
Good to see new names and work.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Ruthie @ Bennie are returning to earth to pick up some animals and a group of WEE people that want to emigrate to Mars. The WEE people will assist in the selection of desirable humans that will be allowed to emigrate to Mars. 11x14 W/C
Hello Nealey....it was late last night when I discovered the NEW YEAR 2014 forum...too late for me to respond to anything.
I liked your 'growing' greeting very much......would make a really good book mark or bookplate. What size is it?
Hello Fred...good news for your bears. I saw one in Russia being made to dance for money from tourists but at least this one looked well fed and groomed.
I support a charity which helps Disabled children through riding and nurturing Shetland ponies.I too was asked if one of my paintings could be used to help their cause. Feels good to be helpful doesn't it.
Sarah thanks for commenting & liking my "2014". I used a "10 x "10 spiral journal made for sketching. I found that the paper is not good quality for graphite, but it's okay using pens.

They were to begin play in the Region 2-AAAAA Tennis Tournament at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the John Drew Smith Tennis Center in Macon.
The Greyhounds lost to Houston 4-1 to fall to 6-8 overall and 1-7 in the subregion. The boys' portion of the region tournament will follow the girls' play.
Coach Alisha Gordon changed her lineup for Monday's match, moving No. 3 singles player Sarah Pounds up to No. 1 and dropping No. 1 Kaley Clay and No. 2 Jazmine Washington both down a notch.
The move worked out, with Washington able to down Houston's Lindsay Randolph 6-4, 6-4 after Pounds and Clay both lost – Pounds 1-6, 0-6 to Rachel Bridges and Clay 6-1, 1-6, 6-7 to Chen Hui Bergl.
The Lady Hounds wrapped up the victory in doubles, with Olivia Lane and Ashley Mills downing Aubrey Langston and Kara Scully 7-5, 6-3 and Logan Bowden and McKenzie Barnes outlasting Madison Defoor and Teresa Tran 6-1, 4-6, 6-2.

JOHNSTON — The game was filled with several big offensive plays, but, in the end it came down to two defensive plays by Strom Thurmond.
The biggest, an interception by senior linebacker Cody Griffith on the Rebels 20 yard line with a little over a minute to play in the game, which preserved the 35-28 victory.
"I just dropped back into coverage and made a good play on the ball, Griffith said. "We've been working on that a lot and the repetition from practice paid off for me on that play."
The stop came after Delonte Bates put the Rebels ahead with a four-yard touchdown run with 2:19 left in the game.
It wasn't the only crucial stop the defense picked up in the fourth quarter. The Rebels stopped the Panthers on fourth down on their previous offensive possession as well.
"Our guys, when they had to make a stop, they did. That was fourth and less than a foot and Jonte Nathaniel made a heck of a play," head coach Lee Sawyer said of the defensive lineman who broke into the backfield for the stop. "You have to tip your hat to (Batesburg-Leesville) they had a heck of a game plan and they executed it, but Cody played that ball perfectly at the end."
The Panther and Rebels traded shots on offense the entire game. A majority of the damage done by the Panthers was on the ground.
"Nobody has been able to stop the run yet," Batesburg-Leesville head coach Jerry Brown said. "We really ran the ball well and we threw it effectively too, other than that last pass."
The Rebels had success on the ground as well. Quarterback Jauveer Hammond led the way with 154 rushing yards on 13 carries.
"I'm just proud of our guys for not quitting there were a lot of big plays their guys made and we could've gotten down, but we didn't," Sawyer said. "I'm just proud they won a pressure packed game after some adversity. Our kids were starting to doubt a bit especially after the pick but (Hammond) is such a leader, he didn't get rattled."
Hammond connected on 11 of 15 passes for 98 yards and a touchdown.
Strom Thurmond will travel to South Aiken next week, and Sawyer believes the win will be good for the teams psyche.
"They should have a lot of confidence that they can comeback when their backs against the wall, Sawyer said.

VIRGIE — An early-morning accident has left two Floyd County teens dead.
According to Kentucky State Police, Jonathan Newsome, 18, of Teaberry, was driving a 1999 Mustang south on Route 3501 around 2 a.m., Friday, when he failed to negotiate a left-hand turn onto Route 1469. The vehicle then struck an earth embankment.
The vehicle had a total of eight occupants at the time of the crash, none of whom were wearing seat belts. Newsome and passenger Alexandra Payge Tipton, 18, of Harold, were pronounced dead at the scene by Pike County Coroner Russell Roberts.
A review of the victims' social media accounts provides a glimpse into typical young lives, filled with family, friends and celebrations that stand in stark contrast to friends' public expressions of shock and remorse in the days after the wreck.
"I'm loving life a bit too much right now," Tipton said on Twitter, just three-and-a-half hours before the crash.
KSP could not provide the identities of the remaining six passengers or an update on their conditions.
KSP accident reconstructionist Bryan Layne is investigating the crash. Layne was assisted at the scene by Trooper Ryan Hamilton, Trooper Nick Hale and Transtar Ambulance.

National Processed Raspberry Council to Hold First Meeting
Pam Stanziani (202) 720-8998
WASHINGTON, May 9, 2013 The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced today that the National Processed Raspberry Council (Council) will hold its first meeting on June 3 4, 2013, in Seattle, Washington. The Council will administer the new Processed Raspberry Promotion, Research and Information program under the supervision of the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS).
The meeting will be held at the SeaTac Marriott, 3201 S 176th Street, SeaTac, Washington, 98188, on June 3, 2013, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and on June 4, 2013 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The meetings are open to the public.
On April 12, the Secretary appointed six producer members and alternates who represent states producing a minimum of three million pounds of raspberries for processing, one producer member and alternate who represent states producing less than three million pounds of raspberries for processing, three importer members and alternates and two foreign producer members and alternates to serve on the Council.
AMS provides oversight of the Council in accordance with the Commodity Promotion, Research and Information Act of 1996 and the Processed Raspberry Promotion, Research, and Information Order. Under the Order, the program is funded by a mandatory assessment of one cent per pound paid by producers of raspberries for processing and importers of processed raspberries. Producers and importers of less than 20,000 pounds per year of raspberries for processing and processed raspberries respectively are exempt from paying assessments.
Research and promotion programs are self-help programs funded through industry member assessments and administered by board members selected by the Secretary of Agriculture. They allow commodity groups to conduct promotion, market and production research and new product development for the benefit of their industries. AMS monitors board operations. Visit
for more information about research and promotion programs.

PEYTONA – Human remains have been found in a trailer at Peytona, according to the Boone County's Sheriff's Department.
Investigators were called to the trailer, located just off state Route 3 at about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday night and then Kanawha County dispatchers put out an alert about 6:15 a.m. Thursday for two people police wanted to question for a possible homicide that happened in Peytona.
Boone County Sheriff Rodney Miller says the decomposing body of a 71-year-old man was found late Wednesday night inside the trailer.
The man had been missing for about a week, the sheriff said.
The home did show signs of a forced entry and the man's car was missing. The vehicle has since been recovered in Putnam County, investigators said.
Investigators said they are not sure at this time how the man died, and his body has been sent to the state medical examiner's office in Charleston for an autopsy and to try to determine a cause of death.
Investigators are still investigating and processing the crime scene. Interviews are also being conducted and the case is being treated as a homicide.
The man's name has not been released because deputies are trying to get in touch with his family.

It's baby week on TLC and they have a new show called Baby Lab. It's set right here in St.Louis at St. Luke with Dr. Sielber. He is known to many for his work in Infertility treatments and great success rates.
It was very heartbreaking to see these couples go thru the IVF process to have their hopes and dreams just fall a part when they got a neg preg test. Infertility is such a hard road to go down and I give honor and credit to any couple that can go thru the stress and the injections that come with it.
I have been blessed to only to have to do IUI and that is in no way shape or form like the IVF process.
My prayers for you all!!!....

New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter is back with a sizzling Original Heartbreakers story featuring a troubled playboy and the woman he can't resist…
Beck Ockley is ruthless in the boardroom...and the bedroom. He's never been with the same woman twice, and vows he never will. With a past as twisted as his, meaningless sex keeps the demons at bay. His motto: One and done. No harm, no foul.
Harlow Glass is the most hated girl in town. The beautiful artist is penniless, jobless and homeless. When she sneaks into Beck's home—her ancestral estate—for food, she's shocked by his early return...and her immediate, sizzling and intense attraction to him.
For the first time in Beck's life, he can't get a woman out of his mind. All too soon, friendship blooms into obsession and he'll have to break her heart...or surrender his own
And if you like the Lords of the Underworld series, you'll love Ever Night, a sexy paranormal novella that transports you to a new and dark world…
Rose Pascal is swept into a dark, haunting realm every year on her birthday, only to return home the next day. She dreads each visit…even as she craves appearing before the realm's warrior king, a deliciously maddening man who has spent his life hunting and killing her kind—with good reason.
They are supposed to be enemies, but neither can deny the passion sizzling between them. With time running out, can they find a way to be together forever?
"Heartbreakingly sweet and steamy at the same time."
"The push and pull between her and Beck had me going back and forth between wanting to pull my hair out and icing my ovaries, because holy lady blue balls! The tension was almost unbearable at times. But at the same time it was oh so…Continue

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Trey Burke scored 19 points and freshman Nik Stauskas added 12 to lead No. 3 Michigan to a 67-39 victory over Binghamton (2-9) on Tuesday night. The Wolverines (10-0) are off to their best start since their national title season of 1988-89, and this win was every bit a mismatch.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. Brandon Paul scored 14 points and D.J. Richardson overcame a shoulder injury to add 11, helping Illinois hold off Norfolk State. The Illini (11-0), coming off a win at Gonzaga that bumped them into the top 10, were sluggish against the Spartans (6-6).
Illinois came in shooting 46 percent but hit just 35 percent Tuesday.
Rashid Gaston scored 12 points and Pendarvis Williams added 11 for Norfolk State (6-6), which led for much of the first half.
Richardson left late in the first half with a badly bruised shoulder but returned. His layup with just under two minutes remaining put the Illini up 56-51 and they held on for the win.

With Sakara's team planning appeal of UFC 154 DQ, ref Miragliotta explains his decision | MMAjunkie.com
"As long as hand makes contact with the ear, it's a legal strike," Miragliotta told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com). "If you miss the ear and only hit the back of the head, it's illegal.""Even though most of your hand is hitting the back of the head, if your pinkie knuckle is hitting him in the ear, it's a legal shot," said Miragliotta. "Maybe that's what people don't understand. They said, 'Oh, it's the back of the head.' It is the back of the head, but it's hitting him in the ear.
"You get a guy like Shane Carwin or Brock Lesnar, their hands are so big, when they hit you in the ear, they're still hitting the mohawk. That whole hand is about five or six inches wide. The earlobe is two inches. So four inches of your hand is hitting that mohawk, and that's considered a legal strike."
The Unified Rules of MMA, which are followed by most major athletic commissions, state that head strikes that touch the ear are acceptable. Illegal, however, are those that solely hit an area that runs from the crown of the head to the top of the ears with a one-inch variance the so-called "Mohawk" area or the area from the top of the ears down to the nape of the neck. The rule was modified in 2009 to make a distinction between the "Mohawk" definition used by most commissions and a "headphone" definition used by the California State Athletic Commission.

Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Jordan Rodgers connected on 17-of-21 attempts for 217 yards and two touchdowns as the Vanderbilt Commodores completed a 49-7 rout of the Massachusetts Minutemen at Vanderbilt Stadium.
Vanderbilt (4-4) gained 226 yards on the ground as a team as three different players scored rushing touchdowns. Brian Kimbrow gained a team-high 98 yards on seven carries after breaking away for a 74-yard touchdown run. Wesley Tate added 81 yards and a score on 15 carries and Rodgers also produced a rushing touchdown. Jordan Matthews led all receivers with 112 yards on 10 receptions as the Commodores picked up their second win in a row.
Mike Wegzyn struggled under center for UMass (0-8), which extended its FBS leading losing streak to 11 consecutive games dating back to last season. Wegzyn went 15-of-27 for 162 yards and an interception before A.J. Doyle relieved him and went 8-of-14 for 48 yards with a touchdown and interception. Michael Cox was limited to 56 yards on 17 carries. Marken Michel led the team with 56 yards on six receptions and Deion Walker reeled in six passes for 51 yards and a score.
The only first quarter points came courtesy of a 25-yard touchdown run by Tate, which sent Vandy into the second period with a 7-0 cushion.
After neither side managed to produce points for the first 13 minutes of the second quarter, Rodgers got into a rhythm late and led the Commodores to two touchdowns in the final two minutes before halftime. Rodgers completed a 25- yard touchdown pass to Kris Kentera before rushing four yards into the end zone with 48 seconds left in the stanza to give Vandy a 21-0 lead at the intermission.
Rodgers found more success after the break as he completed a 14-yard touchdown pass to Chris Boyd at the 6:34 mark of the third quarter.
The Commodores' defense added some points as Trey Wilson intercepted Wegzyn and returned the pick 17 yards for six points. Kimbrow broke away for a 74-yard touchdown run and Jonathan Krause returned a punt 40 yards for a score to give Vandy a 49-0 advantage heading into the final period.
UMass finally ended the run as Doyle completed a 10-yard touchdown pass to Walker with just over six minutes left to play. Neither side managed any more points the rest of the way.
Vanderbilt's dominance was clear as it gained 443 yards of total offense and limited UMass to 264 yards.

There is no rest for the weary.
Summer at Berkeley County High Schools is merely a time to take a step back, regroup, and rattle off a To Do list for the next six weeks.
In the case of Berkeley High School Principal Steven Steele, summer offers an opportunity for the school to continue with its five-year plan to upgrade BHSs athletic facilities in accordance with the five-year long range plan he and Athletic Director Jeff Cruce embarked upon over the winter.
None of what we are doing would be possible without the cooperation and support of the Berkeley County School District, the Moncks Corner community and the numerous parents and supporters of Berkeley Stags athletics, Steele said.
The across-the-board improvements and upgrades include the $31,000 upgrade of Jim Bradley Field that included a new backstop, concrete common aread and walkways, and new stadium seats; and the upgrade of the Lady Stags softball facilities including upgraded dugouts, new locker rooms and the new irrigation system slated to be installed in the fall.
The intent is to make Berkeley High School the gem of all Berkeley County sports and not just football, Steele said. Hey, were even taking care of the band so they have their own place to practice every day.
Creative juggling of available acreage, such as utilizing space at Berkeley Elementary School, is a job requirement for Steele.
The problem here is that were landlocked he said. We only have so much available land here to use and as you can see looking around, weve almost used it all up.
Steele added that by utilizing available space at schools like Berkeley Elementary, it allows the soccer team to have a full-size regulation field at its disposal.
Theyve been practicing on the football practice field and thats nowhere near enough room, Steele said. This new field, thanks to the school district, allows us to stretch our legs some.
Steele said there will be plenty more to come in regard to facilities upgrades soon, including a new mural in the gym designed to inspire school spirit.
Were painting a mural on the far wall of the gym that says Fear the Deer, with a big Stag in the middle, he said. This should really get the school spirit going.

http://msn.foxsports.com/ufc/story/t...s-lives-072413UFC fighter Miesha Tate went on record this week with very harsh critique for UFC referee, Kim Winslow. The women's bantamweight contender was a guest on an episode of SiriusXM's Fight Club
The coach of The Ultimate Fighter season 18 believes her loss to Cat Zingano was an early stoppage and that she was still very much in the fight. She went on saying that Kim Winslow is "literally ruining people's lives."
Miesha also mentioned that she "knows for a fact that Zingano doesn't want a rematch" with her but she'd love to fight Cat again.
I don't know about you but I think the fight was stopped eary but on the other hand I've seen Winslow make some really bad calls.
Sorry I don't know how to put the audio out.

Chocolate Shop 7 7
For Choclate Lovers! I'm a huge dark chocolate lover and a wine lover. This is the best of both worlds. The taste of chocolate is so overpowering that you feel your eating a candy bar, but it's enough to know your tasting chocolate. December 15, 2014
Love it. Don't usually like Red wine, was given this as a gift and decided to open it when I had guests, Tried some and really enjoyed it. I will purchase this wine for myself. May 31, 2012
Chocolate on a Whole Other Level This is unlike anything I've ever tasted. It has an inviting aroma and great taste. May 21, 2012
I'd give it a 10 It appears that there are two types of chcolate wine on the market; one is a sweet, creamy milkshake-like beverage reminiscent of the White Russian cocktail, the other is wine infused with chocolate. The Chocolate Shop wine is the latter type and is absolutely delightful. Wonderful to sip by itself, it also is the perfect dessert wine to pair with berries, shortbread or cake. May 20, 2012
Loved it! I LOVE dark chocolate and this wine delivers but the chocolate flavor is subtle and you don't really notice it at first sip. The flavor lingers pleasantly then you can't wait to take another drink. Would make a great hostess gift, especially to a dark chocolate lover like me! My stepkids gave me this wine for Mothers Day. Touched me that they remembered how much I love dark chocolate. I've never had this kind of wine and I normally do not like red wines but I really liked this one. May 12, 2012
LOVE IT! I've tried many different chocolate wines and this one is by far the best! It's the perfect blend of red wine and coco -- not too sweet. Enjoy!! April 25, 2012
I love this wine! This one and Chocovine are my favorite wines...... April 12, 2012

CONCORD, N.C. – Reserved parking requests for the December 27-30 Margay Sprint Championships for the WKA Mazda / Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Series have come in at a fast rate since the opening of pre-registration several weeks ago.
However, when the entry form was first posted, there was an omission regarding reserved parking that has since been fixed.
The original entry form did not list the option to reserve parking spaces for the event. A number of competitors sent in completed pre-entries before the error was fixed.
If you pre-entered and did not reserve a pit spot, please note that you will either need to pit in the free parking area of the paddock or under a team's tent.
Reserved pit spaces are $50 each for the first two spaces and $65 each for three or more, e.g., three pit spots equals $165.00.

Timberland is saying goodbye to the only baseball coach it has ever known, Chris Pond.
After 17 years at the helm of the Wolves baseball program Pond announced last week he was leaving to become the baseball coach at Goose Creek.
It was a hard decision to leave, according to Pond, because of his players.
"Leaving the kids made it hard," said Pond, who was hired to start the Timberland baseball program at just 22 years of age after graduating from Coastal Carolina.
The opportunity to take over at GCHS was too big for Pond not to take. For one, living in Goose Creek, Pond is relieved of a 30-mile commute to work each day.
"The opportunity was great because their baseball team has been on the upswing," he said. "And I will be closer to home. I will get to see my daughter play a lot more as she plays for the middle school team at Stratford for volleyball and basketball."
Pond, who spent almost half his life wearing the Wolves' green and orange, will now sport the black and yellow of the Gators. But it's more than team spirit he's leaving behind.
"Leaving Timberland was tough because Art Craig is a close friend and boss," Pond said. "He and Coach Phillip Morgan taught me everything about being loyal and how to handle kids and any other type of situation that occurred.
"I owe my coaching success to them."
Craig said seeing Pond leave is tough, but coaching at Goose Creek is an excellent opportunity for his longtime coach.
"Coach Pond is one of those coaches that go beyond what is normally expected of a teacher and a coach," Craig said. "He takes a lot of these kids under his wing and becomes both a friend and a role model for them. All of our coaches do this but Chris is someone a lot of these kids look up to."
The move leaves Craig with a coaching vacancy in baseball and an assistant football coach position to fill as well. While Craig would have preferred the move to have happened earlier in the spring, he understands.
"It's a great opportunity for him and we wish him the best," Craig said. "He's left a great foundation with our baseball program at Timberland and we hope to find someone who can take what Coach Pond has built here forward to the next level."
Pond said the school, the students, parents and community embraced him for the past 17 years.
"I got along with everyone," he said. "I had a lot of community help and support from Danny Tracy who has volunteered for me for 10 years and also Duffy Wright and Herbie Orvin. Jerry Thrower would do anything I asked. If it needed to get done to the field it was done."
But at heart it's always about the kids.
"Literally I've known these kids since they were born and I treat my ball players like they're my own," he said. "I'm real close with my kids so it's tough."
Pond said he will take this same attitude to Goose Creek.
"I already know some of them already because my son grew up there playing at the rec center," he said. "In the next couple of weeks I'm going to watch some of them play and start to get to know them."
Pond moves from Region 7AA to Region 8AAAA that is stacked with solid rivals in Stratford, Cane Bay, Wando and West Ashley.
"I'm excited that I will have a lot of returners coming back, which is good coming into the region," he said. "I'm ready for challenge and I don't think I will have to motivate players to play."

But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray.
Long as I can be with you, it's a lovely day.
- Irving Berlin
Ooooh middle of July and I feel as if I am in a dream – a bad dream. The rain once again spatters against the windowpanes and the chill wind whips our hair around our faces as we push our way down the street. Our brief affair with summer has quickly turned sour and we are back to the drawing board. It feels like autumn and a lousy one at that. We pull on a jacket over our sweater, socks and boots, grab the umbrella and head out to run errands: the bookstore and the Mac store, Bat Pile for batteries and a swing through the market for provisions. Our salad diet has gone bust as it certainly works best in hot weather. We have sunk back into bad habits, cooking meals best adapted to cooler weather: tagines, stews, veal chops in creamy sauces, couscous, Asian soups, all those wonderful rich dishes that fill and warm from the inside out. And the waistline threatens to expand back to winter proportions, as we are tempted to return to that comforting seasonal hibernation. Where has summer gone to?
I sit back and watch the rain and memories rush through my mind. Sunny Italy, gorgeous weather, yet when the rain fell in Milan it fell hard like so many thousands and millions of cats and dogs, rushing down upon us with a fury long and deep. The streets would begin to fill with water at an astonishing pace. If we were ever so lucky to be inside and able to prepare, we would slip on the rubber boots, but more often than not we would be caught unawares and find ourselves, one mother and two young sons, sloshing knee deep home from school. Yet I had lived through Florida's torrential storms, year after year, summer after summer, so, like it or not, I was prepared for the worst and faced it all with a certain resigned determination. I had learned to read the skies, listen for the low, faint rumble off in the distance, moving closer, menacing. I learned to sense the change in the air, ever so tenuous, the slight shift in temperature and how the wind felt on my cheek. I became versed in reading the signs, understanding when to retreat into the safety of my home, my bedroom before the sky turned that astonishing and unnatural shade of black, before the first loud * crack * of lightening whistled in the space around my body, and the * boom * of thunder reverberated, the vibrations rushing up through every muscle. Unlike the driving misery of the Italian rain, a Florida downpour was quick and sharp, arriving precisely at three every afternoon and leaving just as quickly, rushing off impatiently, sweeping across the state's great empty swathes of land. One left you damp and chilly inside and out, clothes clinging, leaving behind her a wretched discomfort. There was something electrifying and enthralling about the other, the rain of my childhood. The enveloping darkness and the sizzle in the air was almost galvanizing, and although expected every single summer day it still startled and astonished, leaving me in awe at the force of nature.
And then it was over, the sun pushing through the blackness, her fingers licking at the sidewalks, the wet melting into an angry hiss, curls of steam rising from the pavement and the black tar of the road, the air thick and heavy against the skin. It was an oppressive mugginess that reigned for a brief time, yet the summer Florida sun was too strong and in a matter of minutes all was back to normal. We burst out of our hiding places as only children can, running back into the street to pick up our games where we had left off.
Yet this rain we have been having lately is cold and damp, seeping in under the windows, reaching us no matter where we hide. Rain, incessant, interminable, never-ending rain. No warm summer shower this; we stare dismally out at the iron sky, the drab, joyless city and the sheets of water pelting down mercilessly, endlessly, day after day. Oh, summer teases; the occasional beautiful day arrives, a shiver of sunlight and a soft warm breeze surprise us as the gloom of the morning lifts and our hopes rise. We dress and hurry outside knowing by now that it won't last long. So we take advantage of the nice weather when we can: a long romp in the woods with Marty or a dash around the hippodrome, a stroll through the city, pausing at an outdoor terrace for a cup of coffee. Before it starts all over again.
But I really love the rain. Safely inside, snug in our little love nest, surrounded by our books, our dog (albeit depressed for lack of sun and warmth with which to recharge his Boston batteries) and our work, we take refuge, a cozy, safe haven. I love the time that it affords me to read or bake to my heart's content. And truth be told, it is my husband who is doing all of the cooking these days, pleased to spend an hour or so a day letting his imagination and creative urges run wild. He is happy to shop, though wearing his gray-weather-induced misery like an ill-fitting raincoat. Grabbing umbrella and me by the arm he heads out no matter the weather, a mission to fulfill. He happily chops, blends, stirs and seasons, letting each movement take him one step further away from the desolation beating at the walls of the building. I am thrilled when he takes over the kitchen, knowing that with absolutely no effort whatsoever, I will have a delicious meal set on the table before me. But I do it for him, knowing that the occupation releases him from the stress and depression this weather induces in someone as sensitive as he.
This leaves me the time to bake. And this rain certainly inspires me to do just that. The kitchen warm from the heat of the oven, the scent of cinnamon, the sweetness of fresh fruit, the gentle, soothing movements of kneading pure pleasure. Yesterday Mathilde came once again to spend the day in the kitchen with me. Like mother and daughter or like girlfriends catching up on the latest news, we chattered away all morning and well into the afternoon as we measured, stirred, tasted and photographed. We each selected a recipe from a favorite cookbook. I had recently purchased The Weekend Baker by my darling and talented friend Abby Dodge. I've been reading the cookbook for weeks now, caressing the pages, oooh-ing and ahhhh-ing over every single fabulous recipe. I want to make everything, cake, bread, cookie, pie and sweet treat, each one is better than the next. This is the ideal cookbook for someone who loves to bake as much as I do (and a great beginner's cookbook for a passionate novice such as Mathilde): great desserts and snacks, recipes for every level and attention span (oh, some days I want to bake and am ready for something long, involved and complicated, yet other days I want something so simple and easy it is in the oven and on the plate in no time at all). I landed on this fruit Galette – no matter how lousy the weather, summer's stone fruits are at their sweetest and their best and I can't get enough of them. I sent JP to the market and he brought home a paper bag full of gorgeous, sweet, sugary Reine Claude plums and this is what we made.
I am sharing this with Sukaina of Sips and Spoonsfuls who is hosting the July Monthly Mingle for Meeta. Her theme is Stone Fruit and I love it! I already baked and sent my Nectarine Jalousie and now a Greengage Plum Galette.
For the Sweet Dough:
2 cups (255 g) flour
3 Tbs granulated sugar
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
¼ tsp salt
10 Tbs (5 oz/145 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
¼ cup (60 ml) + 2 Tbs very cold water
2 Tbs freshly squeezed lemon juice
For the Fruit Filling:
½ cup (113 g) firmly packed light brown sugar
3 Tbs flour
Dash cinnamon
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
Pinch of salt
1 pound (500 g) stone fruit – I used Reine Claude plums (Greengage plums), washed, pitted and cut into wedges 3/4 –inch (2 cm) thick **
2 tsps freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 Tbs heavy cream or milk
Granulated brown sugar and slivered almonds to decorate
** Ooops! We made a slight mistake using only 500 grams of fruit. Abby calls for a total of 1 kilo (2 pounds) fruit: half apricots/half plums. Ours came out fabulously delicious but next time I will indeed double the fruit!
Prepare the Dough:
Place the flour, sugar, lemon zest and salt in a large bowl. Add the cubes of butter and toss to coat with the dry ingredients. Using only the tips of your fingers, quickly rub the flour and butter together until it resembles damp sand and there are no more large lumps of butter left. Using a fork, quickly stir in the water combined with the lemon juice until a shaggy dough forms. Scrape the dough onto a floured work surface and using the heel of one hand, smear the dough little by little away from you in quick, hard strokes in order to make sure that all of the butter is blended in well. Scrape it together once again and knead briefly and quickly, adding more flour if the dough is wet and sticky, until the dough is smooth, homogeneous and soft but no longer sticky. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until it is firm enough to roll out without sticking to the rolling pin. The dough can also be prepared in advance.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unwrap the dough, place it on a lightly floured and roll it into a large round disc, about 15 inches (38 cm) in diameter. Lift and rotate the dough, a quarter turn each time, as you roll, flouring underneath it to prevent sticking. Trim the excess dough around the edges to make a 14-inch (35 cm) round. Carefully and lightly roll the disc of dough around the rolling pin and transfer it to the parchment-line baking sheet (don't worry if the dough hangs over the edges at this point), cover with plastic and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
Place the prepared fruit and the lemon juice in a large mixing bowl. Blend the brown sugar, flour, lemon zest, dash of cinnamon and the salt in a small bowl to combine. Pour it over the fruit and toss – I use my hands – until the fruit is evenly coated with the dry ingredients. Remove the galette crust from the refrigerate, remove the plastic wrap, and pile the prepared fruit in the center of the disc. Push the fruit around until it is evenly distributed, leaving a 3-inch (7.75 cm) border all around it. Fold the dough edges up and over the dough, pleating the dough as you go. The fruit should be uncovered and showing in the center. Using your finger, dab a little water under each pleat and gently press the pleats to seal.
Brush the dough with the cream or milk. Dust both the fruit showing in the center and the dough with granulated brown sugar and slivered almonds.
Bake the Plum Galette for about 40 minutes until the dough is a deep golden brown, the fruit is tender and the juices beginning to bubble. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes before sliding the parchment paper with the Galette onto a cooling rack.
Serve the Plum Galette warm or at room temperature, as is or topped with ice cream or freshly whipped cream.

Ok, peeps, I am putting my foot down. Ouch.
Now, I know that you understand the importance of a family memory. After all, you saved that picture of your little one's Nativity play, right? And the holiday pictures that you printed and framed from your best travels are up in the hallway as a reminder of sweet times, yes?
So why is it that you haven't yet put aside an hour to get to grips with the task of preserving your family's most precious possessions in a way that will act as a legacy for future generations? Click on the link immediately (bossy, eh?) to get started, for free.
Let me tell you a little story – I hope to spur you on.
This is a letter I wrote to Santa when I was about 6 years old. My Mum must have saved it, whether it was for her benefit or mine I will never know. She passed away 5 years ago and I found it in a box of 'stuff' that she had been keeping for me since my childhood. I am now 44 years old. To be honest, this discovery would have been a precious one at any age for me as an adult, but it holds a special poignancy for me now that she is no longer here. It is a bit of paper that connects me with her, and the love she must have felt for me on that day, almost 40 years ago, when I brought it proudly home from school.
The moral of this short story is as follows:-
Your family need your memories. You are the only one who can pass them on. Do it.
If you're already registered to SaveEveryStep, I'm guessing that you already intend to preserve some of those family memories from times past or present. Am I right? It can be a little baffling, the thought of saving the memories of a whole life already lived, but it's easy and, more importantly, vital, that we do it for our children's sake.
So I am guessing that some of you could use a little boost to get started, therefore I ask you – "what did you do this week?"
Just start there. The memories are clear, the photos are probably still in the camera/phone, and you can knock out a quick 'event' on your Lifeline in nano-seconds!
And for those of you already in the swing, Come on, show us your face! Let your friends and family know you're out there and get them engaged in this too – after all, it's a family obligation. Here's a quick tutorial on how to add a photo to your profile.
Pass us on please!!! To tell Friends & Family about us, you can either:-
1. Press the little 'share' button below
2. Use the 'share' button on the front page of the SaveEveryStep site
3. Go to our Facebook page – get those likes up to 1000 so that I can give away a lifetime's membership!
4. If Twitter's your thing, then give us a mention – @saveeverystep
Oh, and one last thing…..take this quick poll if you have a second, thanks!!

NEW YORK -- As criticism over sugary sodas intensifies, the beverage industry is rolling new vending machines that display just how many calories are in its drinks.
The machines will let customers see the calorie counts for drinks before they make their purchases. The vending machines will launch in Chicago and San Antonio municipal buildings in 2013 before rolling out nationally.
The American Beverage Association, which represents Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo Inc. and Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. says the machines will increase the availability of lower-calorie drinks and remind consumers to consider their options with messages such as "Try a Low-Calorie Beverage."
They'll also add calorie labels to the selections buttons on beverage vending machines to show calorie counts per container.

A store employee got into a tussle with a girl she knew while in the store. She told police she was walking back in to clock in when the girl approached her and said, "Who you calling ignorant?"
She responded that she was calling her ignorant.
This enraged the woman who became angry and started shoving her hand in the employee's forehead. The employee explained to police that this woman is someone she knows from church and that the woman is angry at her because she is currently dating "the baby daddy" of one of her cousins.
The officer told the employee to block the suspect from her Facebook and her phone but the employee responded, "I am not scared of that little girl."
She then decided not to press charges and officers left.

Get a better handle on the job
Now its easy (even fun) to give every tool in your shop a non-slip, cushiony grip that fights fatigue and helps prevent blisters. Install by slipping the Re-Grip tube onto the tool; then pull the plastic rip cord to unwind the rigid support, allowing Re-Grip to shrink around tool handle. Faster and far superior to dip grips and tape grips. Effective and, weve got to admit, pretty darn fun. But we do have to advise caution or you might end up like Terry S. from Portland, OR, who says, Im embarrassed to say that Im addicted to Re-Grip. I have literally put it on almost every tool in my garage. 7" length. Medium Re-Grip has 1⅔"-dia. tube; fits 11/16"- to 1½"-dia. handles.

I saw this in the catalog for replacing hammer and tool handles.
my problem was that the grip on my cane was not heavy enough

Comments about Re-Grip Medium:
I have an old hammer that belonged to my father, and it has always been a favorite tool over the years, but as the years wore on, so did the handle, and it became less safe and comfortable to use.
Saw Re-Grip and figured I'd give it a try. In less than a minute I followed the simple instructions and applied the grip to the worn handle. When I picked the hammer up, I was impressed- the grip was very secure and much more comfortable, and I had a little left over that I was able to apply to a small tactical flashlight which had a rough and somewhat uncomfortable gripping surface. The other bonus is that Re-Grip helps absorb some of the shock when I use the hammer, so it is better than when it was new.
Re-Grip is a great product that does what it says: it gives new grip and new life to tools and other items, and it makes them safer and more comfortable to use. I am extremely happy with Re-grip, and will be using it on some other items in the workshop and the house. Highly recommended!
