Kendall McIntosh, former Earthquakes Academy player and current Santa Clara University goalkeeper, is in Turkey competing with the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team in the U-20 World Cup. McIntosh sends sjearthquakes.com photos and updates from his journey:
The team seems like it's got a new chance at life! Even though it wasn't the three points we were looking for, the late goal against France to give us a tie was crucial as it gives us the possibility to pass to the next round.
After the France game, we flew to Kayseri, Turkey and have been training at the Kayserispor training facilities. Today we trained inside the Kadir Has Stadium which was very different from Galatasary's venue but spectacular in its own way.
Everyone's focused for our last group game tomorrow as it's win or go home for us from here on out.
Hopefully, we can get the 3 points!
Be sure to watch Kendall and the USMNT U-20s against Ghana on Thursday, 10 a.m. kickoff on ESPNU or WatchESPN.

It's shaping up to be a hot day in the Bay Area. What better way to spend it than sipping a root beer float and cheering on the Oakland A's?
The 14th Annual Oakland A's MUG Root Beer Float Day is from 10:35 a.m.-12:35 p.m. in the Eastside Club at the O.co Coliseum. A's players, coaches and Quakes players Adam Jahn, David Bingham and Earthquakes Shakers will be serving up the $2 floats.

After the game, join the Shakers Corona Girls and fellow Quakes fans at Old Pro (541 Ramona Ave., Palo Alto CA) from 7-9 p.m. tonight. The Shakers and Corona Girls will be guest bartending for the night. The event is open to all ages.
The Quakes will host a Root Beer Float Night of their own on July 13 before they take on Seattle Sounders FC. The event, sponsored by A&W, will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
Last year, the Quakes raised $10,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
A few Quakes players will pay a visit to the oncology wing at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital tomorrow. Sam Cronin, Shea Salinas and Medhi Ballouchy will hang out with the oncology units' patients to brighten their day. We will have a video up after the visit.

Pack Softball Travels to East Carolina on Wednesday for Doubleheader
March 26, 2013
Video and Audio Live Stream (Premium service)
RALEIGH, N.C. –NC State's softball team, fresh off its doubleheader sweep of No. 19 Virginia Tech, will travel to Greenville, N.C., on Wednesday for a doubleheader against East Carolina. Action is set to begin at 5 p.m. at the ECU Softball Stadium.
The Wolfpack (13-13-1 overall, 2-3 ACC) scored a pair of big wins over the Hokies on Saturday, taking 10-2 and 9-2 victories for the first doubleheader sweep of a ranked team since 2007. Sophomore pitcher Emily Weiman (12-12) and junior catcher Kirsty Grant were each named ACC Players of the Week for their performances in the two games.
Weiman was dominant in the circle against the Hokies, allowing just two earned runs and six hits in the two games.
Grant and senior outfielder Bethaney Wells both had five hits on the day. Grant added her second home run of the season, one of three that the Wolfpack hit on the day. Junior outfielder Scout Albertson hit a solo shot in the first inning of the first game to give the Pack a 1-0 lead and senior outfielder Caitlin Dent hit a grand slam in the second game for a 4-0 advantage.
"What we are looking to do this week is duplicate the kind of early hitting we had at Virginia Tech," said first year coach Shawn Rychcik."We want that same kind of aggressive attitude we took to the plate and the kind of preparation we had going into the series."
The Pack is 8-5 all-time against the Pirates (9-20 overall) and have won three straight in the series, including a 9-3 win at home last year.
State will return home following Wednesday's doubleheader and leave Thursday for its second ACC road trip, traveling to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech in a doubleheader on Friday and a single game on Saturday. That series will conclude a 12-game road trip that began with five games at the Judi Garman Classic in Fullerton, Calif., from March 14-16.
The Pack hosts Charlotte at the Curtis and Jacqueline Dail Softball Stadium on Wednesday, April 3, at 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., followed by its second ACC home series when it hosts Maryland on April 4-5.
Keep up with the Wolfpack softball team on Twitter (@PackSoftball), via the NC State Softball Facebook page and at www.GoPack.com/Softball.

Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan stepped down Friday after nearly 30 years with the department - six as chief.
The city says from 2005 to 2011, violent crime dropped 42 percent. That's the lowest level since 1983.
Dolan is also credited with restarting the juvenile crime unit.
Critics say Dolan was responsible for the department's budget problems and the costly payouts in police misconduct cases.
Replacing him is Assistant Chief Janee Harteau, who was named this summer. She'll become the first woman to lead the Minneapolis Police Department.
Harteau began working for the department in 1987 when she was 22 years old. She became deputy chief of the department's Patrol Bureau in 2009. She was promoted to assistant chief in 2011.

Review quote
Picked as one of "Booklist's" Top 10 Craft and Hobby Books list."This is one of my favorite pattern books to pick up when I find out that a friend is expecting a baby. The patterns are simple but have beautiful details.... Also, the photography is beautiful, and I really like the way they emphasize the texture of the finished knit fabric in each design." --Alison Backus, Knit Picks director"[F]rom the first page (and first project) to the last page, you'll be charmed. The photography is so delightful...These designs are sure to become appreciated heirlooms rather than dated hand-me-downs." -"Knit 'n Style""I like that the projects are either very useful or at the very least they will make beautiful gifts. Since we won't be having anymore babies I'll be more than happy to make some for my friends' little ones. [T]he styling and photography of this book is beautiful, it makes the whole experience of flipping through its pages even more enjoyable if you know a mom-to-be that knits; the book itself would make a wonderful gift." -A Little Hut blog

2009 J. Lohr Gesture Rosé
2009 represented a return to normalcy after the exceedingly short crop of the previous vintage due to frosts and heat spikes. Rainfall for 2009 was about half of normal, but enough to fuel a successful vintage to full ripeness. Early ripening Rhone varieties, harvested before the mid-September heat wave, fared quite well. Later ripening varieties like Cabernet, were unaffected by the heat and matured in latter October on either side of a significant rain event on the 13th of the month.
PR19 is one of our newest vineyards located about 5 miles north of the Paso Robles winery. This vineyard has helped us strengthen our Rhone program and is the primary source of this enticing Grenache Rosé. The site sits near the northern boundary of the Paso Robles Appellation and supports our sustainably farmed vineyard as well as an active wildlife corridor.

Winemaker's Comments
Lovely, bright raspberry hues adorn this Grenache Rosé in the glass. Aromas of strawberry and Asian Pear dominate this wine in its youth. A hint of bubblegum lies in the background. Cranberry flavors are showcased with embracing fruit acidity and set the stage for a great aperitif. A year or two of cellaring should bring out a bit of orange blossom in the bottle bouquet. Enjoy through the summer as you would the great wines of Bandol, with oysters or coquilles St. Jacques.

Anti-Semitism in the Official Egyptian Press
September 15, 1998
|Egyptian Daily
October 17, 1997
September 17, 1998 marks twenty years since the signing of the Camp David Accords. This landmark agreement set the stage for the Israel-Egypt peace treaty six months later, which states, "The Parties shall seek to foster mutual understanding and tolerance and will, accordingly, abstain from hostile propaganda against each other." (Article 5 (3) of Annex III)
Despite two decades of peace, anti-Semitic themes permeate the official Egyptian media.
Four recurrent themes are discernible: classic anti-Semitic stereotypes, comparisons of Israel with the Nazis, denial of the Holocaust, and traditional libels.
The official Egyptian media repeatedly questions the extent of the Holocaust and accuses Jews of inflating the number of victims to pressure Western countries. It also equate Israel with the Nazis and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with Adolf Hitler.
Jews are referred to as "swindlers" and "tricksters" in newspaper articles. Political cartoons depict Israel as the "ugly Jew", bearing a remarkable likeness to that used in the Nazi Der Stuermer.
Israel is accused of spreading AIDS and other diseases in Arab countries, and of attempting to foment civil war in Egypt. After the terrorist attack at Luxor, in which 60 tourists were killed, the Egyptian media sought to implicate Israel in the attack.
Following are excerpts from articles in the official Egyptian press of the past year and a collection of cartoons.* Egyptian weekly Roz Al-Yusuf, August 24, 1998
"A reliable source at the Arab League provided details of the report circulated by the League to its member states warning of imported blood units contaminated with the AIDS virus, hepatitis and bilharzia. They were manufactured by an Austrian company and Israel treated the blood units before they were sent to Arab and Third World nations... The question is: Is Israel waging chemical and biological warfare against the Arab states and Islam?"* Egyptian daily Al-Akhbar, July 24, 1998
"Israelis have built their state upon a collection of myths with no truthful basis. Hence, the Zionist organizations were struck with fear when Roger Garaudy [a French Holocaust revisionist] wrote about the myth of the extermination of Jews in ovens by the Nazis in World War II."* Egyptian daily Al-Akhbar, July 14, 1998
"The Zionist movement is a racist political movement. The State of Israel is a state based on blackmail. Zionism has elevated the Holocaust to a sacred level and uses it for the purposes of blackmail... even if the ovens at Buchenwald and Auschwitz were working day and night, it would have taken dozens of years to kill six million people, and not just the three years which the Nazis had..."* Egyptian daily Al-Ahram, July 1, 1998
"Israel sought to exploit the natural resources of the Sinai peninsula just as Nazi Germany acted in the territories which it occupied... Israel can not avoid payment of compensation to Egypt so long as she is blackmailing money from the United States and other countries with the claim that Jews during the Holocaust were eliminated in ovens and all their property was confiscated."* Egyptian daily Al-Akhbar, June 16, 1998
"Racism poses a threat to the Jewish State. Thus, all Israeli governments act to preserve an air of tension and a militant, aggressive atmosphere in order to prevent an outbreak of clashes and struggles within Israel itself. For this purpose, Israeli governments act to ignite civil wars in neighboring countries. The Egyptian people are absolutely convinced that Israel has a role in igniting such civil wars... Israel was behind the attack at Luxor [in which 60 tourists were killed by terrorists] in order to sow division in the Egyptian nation."* Egyptian daily Al-Arab Al-Yom, June 9, 1998
"As for the Jews today, there is no difference between rigid or flexible. They are all the same, the difference being whether they kill a person with a thick, hard-bladed knife or by placing him on the electric chair... it is possible to deter these swindlers and tricksters and foil their schemes..."* Egyptian daily Al-Ahram, June 1, 1998
"It is difficult to ignore the racial discrimination which characterizes the State of Israel or the extent to which this racism has penetrated Israeli society. This racial fanaticism is the same fanaticism that Israel transferred to the land of Palestine after experiencing it at the hands of the Nazis. It is now trying to impose the history of the Jews on the Arabs by expelling them from their lands and even destroying their race as much as possible."* Egyptian daily Al-Ahram, May 27, 1998
"The crimes of the Jews are worse than the crimes of the Nazis. Nazi Germany carried out its crimes to create an empire, but it did not last more than 6 years. By contrast, the Jews have been carrying out their crimes for 50 years to establish their state which has not yet been erased... anyone who disputes the number of victims, which they estimate to be 6 million, is likely to be tried or exposed to intellectual terrorism just as Roger Garaudy [French Holocaust revisionist] was."* Egyptian daily Al-Ahram, May 13, 1998
"There is a great Jewish plot to gain control of the world."* Egyptian daily Al-Ahram, February 2, 1998
"There are no findings to indicate the existence of mass graves, because the size of the ovens makes it impossible for many Jews to have been killed there. According to the lists presented by the Soviets to the Germans, no more than 70,000 Jews were registered as having been at Auschwitz."* Egyptian daily Al-Akhbar, December 21, 1997
"And so the New Hitler is redrawing the map of the region and decides to swallow all of the territories which he desires."

By Gene HarperAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 8, 2005 Military spouses and servicemembers' mothers "commit their lives as their servicemember does, and loves him because he loves his country," said the wife of the nation's top military officer on a Mother's Day nationwide television appearance today.
Mary Jo Myers, wife of Joint Chiefs Chairman Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, was the special guest for this week's "Power Player" segment on "Fox News Sunday."
"When it comes to caring and compassion and the number of people she helps, we chose pretty well," said show host Chris Wallace in announcing Mrs. Myers as this week's Power Player. "On this Mother's Day, her thoughts are of all the moms whose children are serving in the military or have been lost in combat."
"I think our whole country is more grateful and more indebted than we can express for their service and for their sacrifices," Mrs. Myers said in her special Mother's Day message for military moms.
The top military spouse told Wallace about her wide-ranging experiences and contact with servicemembers with whom she has come into contact in supporting her husband's work and travel around the world in his four years as Joint Chiefs chairman.
She spoke about her visits with wounded troops at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. "There has not been a time when we have not come away from that experience," she said, excusing her broken-voiced emotion, without "being uplifted and humbled by the spirit that you see with these young men and women."
Wallace recognized the chairman's wife for her work with the Operation Hero Miles project that he said has translated into more than 3 million airline miles and 3,000 plane tickets donated by individuals so that loved ones of wounded troops could visit them during their hospital treatment and rehabilitation.
He also noted her help in organizing U.S. kids to send thousands of Valentine's Day cards to servicemembers deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Mrs. Myers told Wallace about one soldier who opened one such envelope and found a coin inside.
"Dear Soldier, this coin has been lucky for me," she recalled the message with it read. "I hope it will be lucky for you too." And, she noted, on such occasions, "you see (the servicemembers) wipe away a tear," she added in an emotion-filled voice.
Mrs. Myers thanked Wallace for recognizing the service of spouses throughout DoD. "It's just a privilege to serve," she said on their behalf.
Wallace conducted part of his interview with the chairman's spouse at the couple's Fort Myers, Va., residence, which overlooks the monument-filled landscape of Washington just across the Potomac River. He said Mrs. Myers said she still remembers the day her home shook on Sept. 11, 2001.
"I went running to the front window," she recalled, "to look at this glorious city and said a prayer that it was still intact." The "thing" she had felt - and was now seeing presumably - was instead the nearby smoke-billowing Pentagon in the aftermath of the terrorist-hijacked passenger jet slamming into it.
Their home, Wallace noted, will be the couple's last base quarters as they prepare for retirement and transition to civilian life this fall after 40 years of military service. She pointed out that the general had missed a lot of the nitty-gritty of military moves over the many years, but she promised "this is one he'll share in."

[Photos] Jennifer & Eric Williams Wedding Day
It's a no brainer that Basketball Wives stars Eric & Jennifer Williams' divorce is no where near amicable or discreet. They have been going head to head in the media for the past year and more drama reveals itself each time. Although, they're bickering now, that wasn't always the case….well, I hope to think not.
We've got the original pictures from their wedding day, which was suppose to last happily ever after but we know how that turned out. SMH It was a lavish wedding at the Ocean Club on Paradise Island in the Bahamas created by wedding Diann Valentine.

Brand new journey has begun
Surrounded by the love and support of her parents and friends, Hannah Saucier has moved to Davidson College to begin her undergraduate studies.
A dream has come true for the 18-year old Rutherfordton woman, which is also being shared by college freshmen across Rutherford County.
A graduate of Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy, Hannah remembers in great detail the day she learned she was accepted to Davidson, her first choice of colleges.
She was riding in the family van with her parents, Steve and Mia Saucier, on Dec. 15, 2012, headed to Winston-Salem for a school academic team competition.
Davidson was releasing the names of the new students at 10 a.m. that day.
Since Hannah wasn't home to receive her letter in the mail she had her iphone in her hand during the ride. At the hour of discovery, she began to check the phone.
"I could hear her hit refresh, refresh, refresh," her dad said. "And then I looked in the back seat and she was crying. What happened? I asked her," Steve said.
Hannah couldn't speak for a moment and then, with a flood of tears, told her parents, "I'm in."
Then was was great jublilation and celebration in the car.
As soon as the academic competition was over, the Sauciers drove over to Davidson where at the school store they purchased Davidson College parapharnalia, including the red Davidson flag that has flown outside their Rutherfordton home since December.
They also bought a lot of Davidson Christmas gifts for the family. "We spent way too much money," Steve admitted, but it was a day representing sheer delight and goals reached.
The Sauciers couldn't be happier for Hannah, yet the fact their only child has left the comforts of home, is pretty overwhelming.
Hannah is nervous too.
"Everybody's nervous," Hannah said.
As with most college students, Hannah has spent the past few months preparing for this weekend. Her parents have also been preparing themselves for the move and the empty nest.
Hannah and Mia went shopping and bought white and purple bedding for her cream color painted dorm room and everything else she needs for her home away from home.
"Like everybody else," Hannah said. "I'm in a dorm room."
Unlike others, she will have 24 hour, 7 day care.
Six years ago when Hannah was 12 years old she dove into a swimming pool at a friend's house and sustained a traumatic spinal cord injury. She is paraplegic after injuring the vertebrae C5, C6 and part of C7.
Following weeks and months of hospital stays and rehabilitation at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Ga., Hannah began a different way of living and remain on target today.
Hannah can do some things for herself, such a eating, brushing her teeth, using her computer/electronics and combing her hair.
Insurance and Medicaid are funding her 24/7 care, which was also a plan from the the time Hannah was preparing to go to college.
At Davidson, Hannah will become involved with social activities, attend the football games and study. She is looking forward to the college community environment.
"I want to grow as a person. That's what college is all about," Hannah said. "I am making myself get out of my comfort zone and I am so excited about learning in general."
Having the second highest academic score at Thomas Jefferson wasn't easy for Hannah, but she's a determined person, Steve said.
"I feel very prepared to go to college," Hannah said. She said her preparation began at Rutherfordton Elementary School where she received her educational foundation and continued through Thomas Jefferson.
"She has her mind set to do well in college, she had her mind made up to receive high school awards, she wanted to be valedictorian and she wanted to go to a high end college, " Steve said.
Her friend, Darby Williams, was valedictorian at TJCA, and is also attending Davidson. Another friend, Dustin Atchley, an R-S Central graduate is there.
"She has always gone with clarity of purpose and she works her butt off. At 1 a.m., she is still up with a light on studying. She's a work alcoholic," Steve said.
Steve said it's been their duty as parents to remove any barriers standing in Hannah's way to go to college.
"But she had to move through them. She did the sweat equity." "It's a constant battle to make sure she has what she needs," Steve said.
" Hannah's barriers aren't physical," Steve continued. "It's her commitment and her determination to get from Point A to Point F. It's about her commitment to be determined."
"I'm estatic and overjoyed that she has this opportunity to come to Davidson. I am really happy," Mia said from Hannah's dorm room Friday where they were unpacking. "This is a perfect fit for her and she has felt at home here since the first day she came on campus. This was a goal of hers and she accomplished that. It's a dream come true."Mia echoed Steve's comments of their daughter's determination.
"She has worked for this all throughout high school and she wanted to get into a really good school," Mia said.
Although Hannah visited other campuses, she always came back with Davidson on her mind.
"It was never a question whether or not Hannah would go to college. She has so much to offer," Steve said. "It would have been unfair to her if she hadn't gone to college."
Fundamentally, "none of this would have been possible without her mother," Steve said.
"Not just the physical side, but she's also been my mother. She's my mom," Hannah said. "She could train nurses.
"And she could train other mothers who are in situations like this," Steve said.
"I will have lasting relationships with some of the students and teachers from Hannah has a core of good friends who have gone on to different colleges but there are plans to skype.
A friend from first grade is still her best friend and a second grade friend is among the core of close friends. All along her journey she has made friends.
"This group of kids have stuck with her since the accident. They never abandoned her," Steve said.
Hannah doesn't drive a car so when she and her friends wanted to go out while in high school, they drove their cars to the Saucier home and parked them.
"They would get in the van, one of them would drive and they go out," Steve said.
Hannah has three wrist bands on her motorized wheelchair. One is from high school, one is a peace arm band and the other, the New Orleans Saints. From Louisiana, Hannah is a dire hard Saints fan and is excited to be able watch them with friends at Davidson.
She is going to study neuroscience/pyschology and her goal is to get her masters degree and later a doctorate degree. Some day she believes she'll work in the field of brain behavior research.
Her field of study was not prompted by her injury.
"But in the past two years, I knew I wanted to study the brain. There is such little knowledge of the brain and behaviors," she said.
While classes begin for Hannah on Monday, her parents will be back in their routines. Steve, the first executive director of KidSenses museum in Rutherfordton, is executive director at Grassroots Science Musuem and Mia is an Ellenboro Elementary School third grade teacher.
The couple agree if they're shedding tears, they are from being so overwhelmed and grateful. Their daughter's dream of college has come true and life is moving on.
A brand new journey has begun.

Posted at: 03/12/2013 6:25 PM
By: The Associated Press
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - The Senate has approved a proposal for tax breaks to New Mexico's horse racing tracks and casinos.
Supporters said Tuesday the tax credits would help tracks stay in business because they're struggling to compete with tribally operated casinos.
To qualify for the tax incentives, a track would have to increase the horse races it conducts during a season.
The tax breaks are projected to cost the state about $2.6 million in reduced revenue in the 2015 budget year when they are proposed to take effect.
The Senate approved the measure on a 27-13 vote and it goes to the House with only a few days left in the legislative session.
Opponents objected to the tax breaks and one senator expressed doubt that the incentives would rescue the racing industry.

Respond to Review of Garden Fresh Vegetarian Food
by Chia
Review: I had read the recent good reviews for this place on HappyCow and decided to give it another try. Was just here in February 2013, and here's my Garden Fresh review. I ate here one time many years ago and not impressed. But this time around I was pleased with the food. It's a simple little eatery located in a strip mall. The interior is casual and simple--to one side is a steamtable with each day's lunch offer, to the other side is tables for seating and a TV in the corner. I noticed that they offer a la carte menus at both lunch and dinner time. I tried their dumpling was was surprised and delighted to see that the owners make their own dumpling skin with a wheat flour which was thicker than the typical white flour dumpling skin. I also got a stir fry noodle, and that was pretty tasty. Overall I enjoyed my meal and would definitely return again to try the other menu stuff. The food is more home-style Taiwanese and healthier than the other veg restaurants around here (Veggie Family, Happy Veggie Garden).

Procedures must be followed, but we can't be fanatical about it.
Police have forever complained about suspects getting off on a technicality. Officers spend countless hours amassing evidence and building a case, only to watch in dismay as some judge sets the accused free because an "i" wasn't dotted or a "t" wasn't crossed. Somebody wasn't read his rights in a timely manner. There was a minor flaw in a search warrant. There was no real probable cause for a stop-and-frisk. How can the public have faith in the criminal justice system when such travesties occur?
It is more than a little ironic, then, that the latest failed attempt to get a case tossed on a technicality was instituted by a police officer's defense team. Suspended Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer David Bisard, accused of having twice the legal blood alcohol limit when he crashed his police cruiser into three motorcycles, killing one cyclist and critically injuring two others. He wanted two vials of his blood dismissed as evidence because the blood draw for one vial didn't follow IMPD protocols, and the second vial sat unrefrigerated in a police property room for five months before being tested.
The case was moved to Allen County because of pretrial publicity, and Superior Court Judge John Surbeck has ruled that both vials are admissible. That doesn't mean Bisard's claim that contaminated, untrustworthy evidence has compromised the entire investigation is a doomed defense case. His attorneys will still be able to argue that officials' mistakes have left the state without conclusive proof of an impaired condition.
But Surbeck's ruling does mean the public will see a trial based on substantive issues instead of mere technicalities, and that is a welcome outcome.
Those technicalities are there for a reason, of course. Our criminal justice system is based on a presumption of innocence that the state must demolish for a conviction. Insisting on strict compliance with procedure is a way to keep the state from taking shortcuts to that demolition. It is important not just for the cases at hand but to instill confidence in the pubic for all the cases to come. We must believe that if we are ever accused, there will be no shortcuts.
But fanatical devotion to procedure to the point that all common sense is lost can create a lack of confidence as well. Never mind all those technicalities, observers will think, can we please just talk about whether the accused really did what the state says he did?
It is indeed a fine line to walk, and we dare not stop paying attention to how it is walked.

How to Get a Girl to Fall for You
Three Parts:Starting OffGetting More ComfortableGetting Ready For Dating
Getting a girl to fall for you is an art, not a science. (If it were a science, it'd be rocket science.) What this means is that there's no one way to do it. However, there are some tricks that generally work for most. In order to get a girl to fall for you, you mainly need to get noticed, be sensitive, and start flirting.
Part 1 of 3: Starting Off
1Understand who girls are. Girls think differently from guys, so use it to your advantage. The things that you look for in a girl aren't necessarily what she looks for in a guy. Put yourself in her shoes and understand a few things about the fairer sex before you start your quest.
- Many, but not all, girls care more about a guy's personality than they do his looks. Many, but not all, guys care more about a girl's looks than her personality.
- Girls are just as shy about dating and love as guys are. Just because she doesn't seem so doesn't mean she isn't. Find ways to make that shyness go away.
- Many, but not all, girls assume the worst about a guy until he proves her wrong. That's because most guys do treat them poorly. Especially in the beginning, find ways to convince her you're not like other guys.
- Girls want guys who make them feel special. (Many girls grow up thinking they'll find Prince Charming.) Girls want guys who make them feel older, more mature.
2Find an excuse to get close to her. It doesn't have to be a good excuse; it just has to be an excuse, like "Hey, do you remember what homework was?" or "Hey, do you want to crack this problem together?" Once you've broken the ice, you can start to become her friend. Again, it doesn't really matter how you break the ice as long as you don't threaten her and you don't come off as really cocky. If you embarrass yourself, don't worry — she just might think that's cute.
3Slowly become friends. For girls, trust is a pretty big thing. She'll trust you more — and be willing to take that next step — if she knows who you are and she likes that person. A couple of things to remember as you begin to establish a friendship with her:
- Take things slowly and casually. Don't smother her with your presence right away. If she begs off hanging out, for whatever reason, be casual about it. Casual makes you seem cool, and cool helps you stay mysterious.
- Invite her along on social occasions. When you're at the skate park with your friends, invite her along. If you're going to a party, let her know. If she likes you as a friend (and possibly more), she'll return the favor.
- Make an effort to be friends with her friends. Don't flirt with them; be friendly with them. Her friends are her supporting cast. Treat them well and they'll vouch for you.
4Be polite and gentlemanly. Remember when we said that girls assume a guy just wants to get into her pants? Well, don't be that guy! Being polite and gentlemanly will help assure her that you are different, and that you respect her as a person. This will work especially if she is a romantic.
- Offer to hold her books while she is opening her locker. Open doors, and keep doors open, for her. Say "please" and "thank you" with a smile on your face, even if you feel horribly old-fashioned. These things do make a difference.
5Have your own life apart from her. Don't latch onto her like a barnacle. Even if you're a friend and a gentleman, she probably doesn't want you there 24/7, attending to her every need, turning into her shadow. It's not going to get you very far.
- Take some time to do your own thing. That way, you'll have a little bit of mystery, and you'll be able to talk about fun and interesting things you've done in her absence.
- Girls are attracted to guys who are independent. Try to cultivate that a little bit, even as you court her. Being independent means doing your own thing, having different groups of friends, and thinking for yourself.
- At least once, beg off when she invites you to something. She will never realize how much she misses you if you are always around!
6Pay more attention to what you look/smell like. For goodness' sake, groom yourself. Girls care about guys who can take care of themselves. Personal hygiene just happens to be a part of that. Wash your hair once it gets greasy, shower daily, use deodorant, shave if you're that age, and look your best using the clothes that you've got.
7Avoid the early friendship mistakes. Now, these mistakes aren't always relationship-ending, but they tend to be mistakes. If you can, try to avoid them:
- Don't be immature, perverted, or gross. That includes saying and doing things. Girls want you to be more mature than your age, not less.
- Don't press her for really personal information in the beginning. Don't make her share more than she feels comfortable telling you.
- Don't go out of your way to impress her. Impress her by doing what you do well, which will make you confident. Trying really hard to impress her makes you seem cocky.
- Don't get caught flirting with other girls. Being around other girls is good; flirting with other girls is bad. You may only get one chance to convince her you like her.
Part 2 of 3: Getting More Comfortable
1Give her reasons to trust you more. Friendships and relationships are built on trust, and for girls that foundation couldn't be more important. To get from the friend stage to the dating stage, you need to show her that she can trust you completely.
- Do what you say you'll do. If you say you'll pick her up for the party, pick her up. If you say you're going to play varsity football, play varsity football. Nothing destroys trust like saying you'll do something and then not following through. Be a man of your word.
- Don't badmouth other people. Badmouthing other people is saying bad things behind their back. If you do that around her (or her friends), what's to stop her from thinking that you could do the same to her?
2Learn the art of the compliment. Complimenting a girl will let her know that you like her more than just a friend, while also reinforcing the things about her that she wants you to notice.
- Compliment her:
- Eyes. "Your eyes really contrast with the color of your shirt. Nice combo!"
- Smile. "I always know when you're smiling because the room lights up."
- Style. "You have really good style. A lot of girls look up to you for it."
- Hair. "I like your hair when you put it up. People can see how pretty your face is."
- Don't necessarily compliment her more feminine areas. You know what that means.
- Don't compliment her all the time, to a crazy extent. Remember: a few, or even a single, compliment will go a very long ways. It's not the quantity of the compliment that counts; it's the quality.
- Compliment her:
3Be an active listener. Show her that you are someone that she can really talk and get along with. For example, if she mentions a favorite band/book/movie, check it out. That may give you a common interest to discuss in the future. Girls are impressed by guys who make an effort not just to listen, but to show interest and remember details.
- Another example might be this: If she mentions a subject or person early on in the conversation, mention that subject or person in an offhand way to let her know that you were listening. Girls want guys who like them not just for their looks, but for their personality. Taking interest in conversation will help you convince her that's what you want to do.
4Gradually, flirt with her a little. It's okay if you're not an expert at it right away; you'll get better as you continue to do it. Flirting can be as simple as smiling at someone and holding their eyes. Try to be calm and natural as you flirt. Pay attention to what feels good for you, even as you're nervous.
- Touch her in a non-threatening way. Give her your hand when she's walking up some stairs. Tap her hand gently with your fingers when you're making a point. Gently rub her back when she's not feeling very good.
- Playfully tease her about something. Make sure she's not self-conscious or ashamed about it, or the teasing could turn awfully wrong. Say something like: "So when are you going to give another person a shot at being top-dog in math? I think I want to take a shot at being as nerdy as you."
5Share aspects of your own personality. At this point, you've probably already gotten to know her pretty well. But maybe she hasn't gotten to know you as well as she would have hoped. So loosen up, be yourself, and give her a glimpse into what makes you tick.
6Be sensitive. Girls love guys who are sensitive because girls are usually more emotional, and they want someone to share their emotional feelings with. Before you groan and throw up your hands, consider this: you're already a sensitive person; you maybe just don't know what part of you is sensitive. Take the time to find out which part that is.
- Be there for her when she needs it. If she just wants to talk about a bad day, be a shoulder she can lean on and a perspective she can trust. Talking with her about personal issues, and showing her you care about how she feels, is a great first step.
- Don't be afraid to do the occasional un-manly thing. Don't be afraid to tell her that you're nervous, or that you're having doubts about something. Try not to cry in front of her — at least not yet — but show her other emotions you have, such as regret and compassion.
Part 3 of 3: Getting Ready For Dating
1Keep all of her secrets and never betray her trust. People love to gossip; it's a natural thing. But what you shouldn't do is betray her trust by gossiping about something she told you in confidence. If she expects you to keep it a secret, you shouldn't even tell her your friend. Reward her confidence in you by being trustworthy.
2Ask her out on a date. When the time is right, you'll have to ask her out on a date. Try doing this in person. Your chances of her agreeing skyrocket, and it may even give you another opportunity to flirt some more. Remember, too, that you don't have to call it a date unless she asks. That'll make things easier, too. Try something like:
- "I have a spare movie ticket to [that movie she wants to go to] on Friday night. Are you busy?"
- "I don't know if you have any interest in going, but I usually go to the state fair to be slightly less bored than I'd be at home. You want to be my partner for the day?"
- "So that big football game is coming up. Do you want to help me celebrate school spirit by cheering for the other team?"
3Accept rejection in stride. On the off-chance that she doesn't want to or can't go on the date with you, take it in stride. Don't sulk or get depressed or storm off. This will only hurt your chances later on. Give yourself the best chance of winning her heart by being the gentleman that you are.
- Try asking her if she'd want to go to a movie at a later date. If she seems okay with it, follow up with her and try to schedule the date. If she can't make the date twice in a row, or makes up an excuse, that's a definite sign that she's not romantically interested in you.
4When you take her on a date, be romantic. Actually, be romantic even after the date. Pick her up if you have a car, pay for dinner or the movie, and don't try to shove your tongue down her throat. Pretty much, imagine that your mom is there with you the whole time on the first date. It'll help you understand how you should act.
- If you plan on kissing her at the end of the date, perhaps ask her before you swoop in: "Can I give you a kiss? You look really beautiful right now."
- Don't kiss and tell. The romantic, gentlemanly thing is to not share what happens between you and your date. The last thing you want is to go back to school on Monday and have the whole school know about your Friday night adventure.
5Let her know how she makes you feel. If she drives you absolutely crazy (in a good way), it's a good idea to tell her. Again, a little communication goes a long way, because most guys don't communicate. So think about how she makes you feel and then let her know!
- Perhaps after the date, or the next day, call her and say:
- "I really had a great time with you last night. Actually, I had such a good time that I don't remember anything but the sparkle of your eyes and the curve of your mouth. How did I do?"
- "Hey, just wanted to let you know that I had a really nice time with you. You're a really sweet girl, and thinking about you makes me happy. When can we do that again?"
- "I'm kinda blown away by you. Yesterday was the first time in my life that I felt like I really connected with another girl. It's just criminally easy to talk to you, I hope you know that."
- Perhaps after the date, or the next day, call her and say:
We could really use your help!
- Make her laugh and make her feel special. Compliment her, and don't make her feel like you want her for her body.
- Look in her eyes; by looking at one eye and then at the other one -- changing every so often -- but do not stare at her chest or at her body - perverts do that! This way of looking at her shows her that you respect her and like her as a person.
- A girl likes it when you're open and honest.
- Keep good hygiene and your chances of success will increase dramatically!
- Treat her the same way you do alone as you do in front of her and your friends.
- Find something nice about her personality then spark up a conversation about that part.
- Don't ask her out over and over; give her time and play hard to get.
- Hang out with her, but not too much. Hang out, don't stalk.
- Relate to the things she likes and don't do it so often because your friends might figure it out and expose you in front of people.
- Some girls hate when you're shy, but not all girls. If the girl you like isn't very shy, you shouldn't be either. Act confident (though not cocky) and speak up!
- Show her how you would be if you were dating! Girls like a responsible guy!
- If you already went on a date, just remember, she went out with you, not a fake you.
- If she sends you pictures for her new facebook profile picture, you're either; friendzoned (the inescapable kind) or in with a shot. Be interested- even if you couldn't care it could end up being a good opportunity to bond, if she says she likes you back DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT don't be too shy if it doesn't work out then you can always try again
IGNORE YOUR FRIENDS (high school) their remarks are only funny to a few people. Everyone will respect the fact you can take the joke and not care. Good luck brothers!
- Most girls have friends with them at times, so try to talk to them in private.
- Don't ask for sex on first date.
- Don't ignore her, be mean, bully her, be gross, or overdo your flirting.
- Don't force it; if you feel like there's no connection or energy when you talk, then she's probably not a great match.
- Don't try to make fun of her and assume she'll like you. It never works.
- Don't swear. If they don't have a problem with it, then use swearing playfully. If she does have a problem with swearing, then don't swear.
- Don't bring other girls around even if you are just friends. It will make her insecure about your 'situation'.
- Be authentic. Always tell the truth about your desires, values, etc. This commands respect, whereas walking on egg shells makes people uncomfortable.
- Don't brag! Whatever you do, it will make her like you less. Even if you feel it is necessary.
- Don't talk about previous relationships (or hook ups) too soon.
- Don't be mean about other people.

Frank Broughton
Frank Broughton learnt how to get paid for words while living in strange parts of New York. He interviewed every rapper known to science for Hip-Hop Connection, moved on to profiling celebs for magazines that couldn't afford air tickets (i-D, Mixmag...), and had some heavy nights after squeezing dance music pieces into big-paying US mags (Details, Rolling Stone...). He then fell in with Time Out who let him write a hymn to his adopted city in the shape of their 1996 New York Guide and made him Clubs Editor of Time Out New York. Frank took to this position with the dedication it deserved and was fried in no time.
He returned to London and started writing books with Bill Brewster, another Lincolnshire New Yorker. The duo raided their hard-drives for The Manual a coffee-table dance culture history for the Ministry of Sound; cooked up The Time Out Book of Interviews and then got serious with their calling-card opus 1999's Last Night A DJ Saved My Life. Amazingly, no-one had written a decent history of DJing and they resolved to see off all-comers. Following this, they extended the Broughton-Brewster franchise with the best-selling DJing manual How to DJ (Properly) and there are more titles in the pipeline. They also collaborate to throw some very fine 'Low Life' parties.
When magazines sold themselves out to bikini covers and microcelebs Frank sold himself out to copywriting. He got a good price and can now hold his own in brand development and market segmentation meetings. His imperative tone has been appreciated by such clients as Toshiba, BT, Seagrams, Playboy TV, One 2 One, T-Mobile, Britannia Music and boo.com. Frank lives in Elephant & Castle. He has no pets.

Boston Marathon athlete, Ironman competitor and author takes part in 2014 Run for Epilepsy.
Wes Harding competes as a member of Team Hoyt at the 2012 Boston Marathon
Dreams do come true and Wes Harding from Sarnia, Ontario, has proven that "anything is possible!" Wes has gone from a non-runner, overweight couch potato at the age 40 to a three time Boston Marathon qualifier and two-time Ironman finisher all in five years. Losing 80 pounds in the process Wes' life changing attitude came after watching a youtube video on Team Hoyt (a father who pushes his paralyzed son with Cerebral Palsy in road races and triathlons) entitled "CAN". This father/son team inspired Wes to start "making a difference" in his own life and in the lives of others.
For the past three years Wes has been chosen one of two Canadians to represent Team Hoyt in the Boston Marathon. As a motivational speaker Wes inspires and encourages others to "dream big" and that "dreams do come true". His message, like the Hoyt's motto, is "Yes, You Can"! As a non runner Wes' dream was to qualify for the Boston Marathon and in April 2012 after overcoming insurmountable odds that dream came true. In April 2013, Wes co-authored his first book entitled, "Destined To Run" (with Todd Civin, forward by Dick Hoyt and Published by Mascot books). "Destined To Run" is more than a story about running, it is a book about chasing after your dreams.
As a result of being in the heart of the Boston Marathon 2013 bombings Wes, seeing the Hoyts example, saw the need to make a change in his life that included others. He left his career course as an educator of twenty years and started up Canada's first athletic ride-along organization created for those with disabilities who would normally not be able to experience endurance events such as triathlons or road races called myTeam Triumph. With over 30 chapters in the USA myTeam Triumph's goal is to enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities through running together. After hearing Wes speak you will be motivated to say, "I CAN" do the impossible and "I CAN" make a difference.
You can meet Wes at Run for Epilepsy's spaghetti supper on Friday August 29, 2014 and also at the actual run on Saturday August 30, 2014 by following the registration links on this page.

Read Poems by
Davin Payne
when our lips locked, i lost the keys
floating on a sea following a breeze
holding onto whispers minding only she
raising more than questions, fleeting hearts will flee
flowers almost blooming, bleeding for a we
games not the challenge, its ideals and how to be
honest and uncertain, premise setting free
tethered to a feeling, flying for a fee
my secret not a secret, both of us agree
where I was going, I didn't want to leave
breaking any promise the hardest to believe
risking all or nothing, the largest risk I see
shifting on my feet, I didn't make a plee
I drifted down the river, with no one chasing me
Still in this position, not a thing achieved
what I had expected, came with no relief
if I love her than I should let her breathe
dare I hold my breath, I'm falling as some leaves
changes with the wind, blew a heart off my sleeves
blue is just a color, not the hue when happily
we happen to cross pathes in my memories
walking through a park, songs around three
sunflowers and kisses, hit me sleepily
waiting until sunrise, never counting sheep
when i learned your name, my strings played symphonies
closing all the distance means more than sex in dreams
for that short complication, is complimentary
because Im complicated, you make the greatest company
even if you run and hide, im scared to go and seek
take it as we go along, we have infinity

Ever hear of the 80/20 rule?
You get 80% of the results form 20% of what you are donig. I.E. the time you spent doing the 5x5 is the 20% and will give you the majority of your results.
Regarding the other stuff (the 80%), remember, that is only getting you 20% of your results (give or take), I would limit the assistance exercises to 2 (maybe 3) exercises that you really like and you know work well for your body. Then with less exercises, you do more sets for those 2 exercises rather than doing 6 or 7 assistance exercises. Also, to reinforce technique, you could also add in some light/explosive work for a previously worked 5x5, so for example, on back/bicep day, you could do:
Back/biceps workout:
Deadlift: 5 x 5
Wide grip pulldowns (normal grip pulldowns): 6 sets - an increase in sets
Neutral grip machine row (reverse grip machine row): 6 sets - an increase in sets
Bench Press: 5 x 3 reps at 75% of the weight you used on Monday (so if you did 200 for 5 sets of 5, than on Tuesday you would do 5 sets of 3 at 150, paused on the chest and EXPLOSIVE)
If you must, you could easily throw in a few sets of curls between set of bench press.
I personally think this would work much better.

Arizona Cardinals
Did you get hit by AW?
I got hit by Adrian Wilson. Sure. Hit, shoved, bumped, brushed, duped and mocked. But that's life on the sideline as the pencilneck sideline radio guy.
It's inevitable and unavoidable. You get your pen hit out of your hand. Your notebook smacked to the ground. Beware the punter, kicker & long snapper, who like to joke they're aiming for you during warm-ups.
Look out for the hit �n run forearm shiver when it's deemed you're too close to the bench area. And fear the final moments of a big win when your headphone volume leaves you unaware (cue the Jaws impending doom sound effect) of what's coming next. Namely - ice, smelling salts, snowballs, rolls of athletic tape, or the proverbial fountain of fluid from a water bottle at long distance.
All in great fun, mind you. It's absolutely nothing like what AW did to opponents. (Otherwise, this would be an obituary instead of a blog). But, just like quarterbacks, I learned to constantly ask myself - where's #24?
Now, we're done looking. The next time we see his name & number will be in the Cardinals Ring of Honor. And attention wide receivers, it's not going anywhere.
Larry Fitzgerald will always be the most iconic Arizona Cardinal. By far, the most important and valuable draft pick in Arizona history. If nothing else, Fitz resonates on a national basis, something no other sports entity in Arizona can currently claim (unless you count Scottsdale resident Danica Patrick).
But Adrian Wilson brought as much loyalty as he did lumber. And, at the time, that was far from the norm. Anquan Boldin had the same level of ultimate locker room respect, but even Q felt the need to leave. Not AW. It would've been easy and, ultimately, forgiven by AZ fans. But not A-Dub. He re-signed long-term contracts not once, but twice.
And let's not forget that a year in the NFL should be considered a dog year (7x) in virtually any other profession. Between staying healthy, staying productive, and staying away from being a salary cap casualty, lasting a dozen years in the NFL as a position player is staggering.
So, if we hit "zoom out" for a moment, I do believe we have the rare perfect storm in sports where all parties actually got their money's worth: the franchise player, the franchise itself, and the fans of the franchise.
Alas, that doesn't mean that come Sundays in September, I won't be conditioned to still look for Adrian Wilson. And thing is, rarely did he ever say a word on game day. Didn't have to. The eyes behind the facemask conveyed the message that his shoulder pads delivered. Heck, I'll even miss the good-natured Deacon Jones head slaps that sent a message as well.
But, you know what? We all got hit by Adrian Wilson.
And, that's why, if we think about what he did in his career and what it meant, when it comes to Arizona sports history, AW will serve as the definition of a true impact player.

Comets: Small Bodies / Big Impacts
Solar System Explorers
"Comets are particularly important because they, or rather others more or less like them, may have originally provided most of the water and organic chemicals to Earth 4 billion years ago.They provide a key record of what conditions were like 4 to 4.5 billion years ago. Comets also occasionally hit Earth in modern times. Fortunately, not very often and specifically none in our lifetimes, although a few people still think that the airblast above Tunguska in 1908 might have been a comet."

We definitely have lots of jargon to go around, from LFG to twinks to PuGs and a lot more. But what's most interesting about all of these answers, to me, is the way it spreads. There's a little bit of Googling and research going on, but really it's a very social thing -- you see "wtb" in the trade channel, and then you ask someone you know what it means (rather than looking it up somewhere else). Thus, definitions of the terms are very organic: "pst" could mean "pssst, here's a whisper" or "please send tell," and yet because they both mean the same thing, both meanings propagate. Likewise, usage tends to be a very social thing -- the person who types "LFG strat need heals" won't type "would u like 2 go to strat?"
Quite fascinating. Unfortunately, I don't know how useful this kind of survey is for actual research (as I understand it, things have to be much more quantitative than anecdotal like this). But I always love hearing straight from players how these things work ingame. Interesting that something that might be seen as an individual experience (asking friends or guildies about jargon to learn it) is actually a very common one.

By Carol McIntire
May 7, 2013
The flipside of Carroll County being recognized as the hub of the oil and gas boom in Ohio is starting to show up in county government.
The number of calls handled by the Carroll County Sheriff's Department during the first four months of 2013 has more than doubled over the same period last year, but with no funds to provide additional staff.
Carroll County Commissioner Bob Wirkner addressed the situation during a commissioners meeting last week.
"For the period of Jan. 1, 2012, through April 10, 2012, the dispatch center received 24,840 calls," he said. "During that same period in 2013, they received 49,890 calls. That's over a 100 percent increase. The number of 911 calls also increased, but many of the calls on the 330-627-2141 line were also emergency calls. Our dispatchers need some relief. They are one step away from being overwhelmed."
Wirkner noted county government has not seen much of an increase in funding to help pay for the additional workload put on county services.
To help alleviate the situation, Wirkner said the Sheriff is seeking to hire two additional dispatchers – one for day shift and one for afternoon shift and for funds to train them.
"With the approval of this board (commissioners) we would like to ask permission from the Ohio Criminal Justice Services (OCJS) to use a portion of the 911 wireless money the county receives each year to pay for training and salaries for the dispatchers," Wirkner said.
As a result of legislation passed by the Ohio General Assembly continuing the tax on wireless phone users for an indefinite period of time, the county receives $90,000 per year as long as they maintain a 911 dispatch center. The money is specifically designated for 911 equipment and maintenance.
Sheriff Dale Williams is proposing using up to $84,000 of that money each year for dispatch services, but approval must be granted by OCJS.
"All we are doing at this stage is asking," Wirkner noted. "They might say no or they might say we can't use that much. They will tell us what we can and can't do."
Wirkner said the 911 wireless account has a balance of $364,275.98, but that money must also be used to purchase what is called the "Next Generation 911 equipment" when it becomes available.
"We don't even know how much the equipment is going to cost or, if we will even have a 911 dispatch center at that time," Wirkner said referring to a plan by the state to consolidate and reduce the number of 911 centers.
"We are being very proactive and doing everything we can to maintain our 911 dispatch center," he said.
If the county's 911 center is consolidated and moved to another county, the county will lose it's 911 wireless funding.
Commissioner Tom Wheaton questioned the need for the additional funding.
"We gave the sheriff 100 percent of what he asked us for in his 2013 budget," Wheaton said. "He agreed when we made his budget request whole, he would live within it and not come to us for more money. He has already asked us for money for an additional traffic deputy and I saw an ad to hire two people in the jail. Who is going to have control of the money? I don't want that 911 money to be used up just because it's there."
In 2013, commissioners appropriated the sheriff's department $1.57 million from the general fund, an increase of $204,899 from the previous year.
Wheaton and Wirkner both noted the yearly fee for the Reverse 911 system is due. Wirkner said he believes the fee is about $16,000 and was due May 6. He noted the fee was paid by the Emergency Management Agency (EMA) in 2012, but funds are not available to do so this year.
"I don't know where we're going to find that money," Wheaton said adding he wasn't sure if commissioners included funds to cover the cost in the sheriff's 2013 budge.
Wirkner noted a request was sent to OCJS to use 911 wireless funds to pay the bill, but was denied.
Wheaton asked which fund the money is deposited into that is generated by increasing the village's cost for dispatching services.
"We told them when we increased the dispatch fee, it was because of the increase in calls for the village and we were going to add another dispatcher with the money we received. "Where does it go?" he asked.
Commissioner Jeff Ohler said the money goes into the general fund.
The county's 911 landline phone fund is also used to pay dispatchers' salaries. Wirkner noted that fund has been decreasing since a large portion of county residents are doing away with landlines and using cell phones.
An employee of the Carroll County Auditor's office said in 2012, the fund generated $50,900.47. As of April 30, 2013, $3,494.21 had been deposited into the fund for 2013. As of May 6, the account had a negative balance of $1,377.61.

Tax hike, wharf repairs await Chebeague Island Town Meeting
CHEBEAGUE ISLAND — Voters will decide on a proposed budget of $2.9 million Saturday at Town Meeting, including whether to set aside an additional $50,000 for repairs to Stone Wharf.
The proposed fiscal 2014 budget represents a 0.5 percent increase over this year's spending, but will have a higher tax impact, if approved, due to falling revenues, Town Administrator Eric Dyer said.
The net increase to taxpayers is about $78,000, or a 2.7 percent increase. The mil rate would increase 55 cents, from $20.20 to $20.75 per $1,000 of assessed value, which translates to an additional $96 per year for a typical Chebeague Island home valued at $175,000.
Dyer said proposed increases in town services are moderate.
"It's a $14,000 increase in expenses," Dyer said of the budget. "The rest of (the increase) is changes in revenue."
Those revenue changes are due in part to reductions at the state level, along with less revenue being applied from the town's undesignated fund, Dyer said.
Capital improvement allocations proposed for FY 2014, include $50,000 for the Stone Wharf, the town's main point of entry by ferry. The recommended amount, if approved, would be added to an existing reserve fund, bringing the total to $129,000.
The wharf – a 2-century-old stone structure – needs an estimated $460,000 in repairs in three separate projects, according to a report from South Portland engineering consultants TEC Associates.
The most expensive repair – a $408,000 project to shore up the wharf's eastern wall – isn't particularly urgent and can be done in stages, TEC owner Wayne Duffett said.
The proposed $50,000 allocation was recommended by the Board of Selectmen before TEC's $460,000 estimate was submitted to the town on June 2.
Near the start of the meeting, voters will decide whether to create a new shellfish conservation ordinance that sets a one-peck limit on the amount of clams that can be harvested during a single tide. The proposed ordinance would also increase the senior citizen age from 62 to 65 and would allow a single license holder to bring multiple guests clamming on the same license, but restricts groups to sharing a single clam hoe.
Another proposed ordinance will formalize the town's cemetery committee and enable governing rules to be established.
Town Meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday at Chebeague Island Hall Community Center, 247 South Road. There are 58 articles on the warrant.

1 teaspoon

These cookies were a big hit! My husband said that they were the best that I have ever made! and I make A-LOT of cookies! They stay soft and the flavor is unbelievable! Looks like we found a new family favorite! going to try it with vanilla pudding and milk chocolate chips this time! I'm sure they'll be great! UPDATE! the chocolate chip cookies with vanilla pudding were a big success on Christmas, they were all gone in a matter of minutes! Hubby's begging for more now.. I better go get started! lolThanks for a great recipe
Only 3 stars because of my mistake. DO NOT use sugar free pudding mix in this. Cookies turned out really nice looking but you definitely taste the artificial sweetener from the pudding in them. Will make again with the correct ingredients and update my review.

Yum! I had no peanut butter chips, so I replaced 1/2 the butter with chunky peanut butter instead. Fantastic! The dough was super delicious; it tasted like Reese's Pieces. My only problem--and maybe this is because of my modification--was that there was WAY too much flour called for. I should have used about 1 1/2 cups. I had to knead in the next 1/2 cup of flour in and didn't even add the last 1/4 cup. The dough was very stiff--I rolled it into balls and smashed it. They didn't spread much at all. The cookies turned out tasty, but a little too dry. Next time I will use much less flour to make them drop cookies like the recipes said.
Really moist and chewy!! A few suggestions: 1. Use 1/2 cup stick margarine and 1/2 stick butter instead of 1 cup butter to keep them from getting flat. 2. Chill batter for at least 1 hour to overnight 3. Use 1 teaspoon baking soda instead of baking powder. Excellent cookie recipe.
My kids and I made this together this morning. My son looked at the recipe and said "Mom, is there any way we can make this MORE chocolate-y?" and I said "Why not?". We cut back on the flour by a quarter cup and added a quarter cup of dutch-process cocoa powder. We also added half of a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. We used Reese's baking chips in this recipe. Absolutely perfect. We tasted a few right out of the oven and they were awesome. Adding the extra chocolate was an excellent idea on my son's part. The great thing about pudding cookies, too, is you don't have to worry about chilling the dough because the pudding thickens up the dough and adds stability so using all butter isn't really an issue. This is our new favorite cookie recipe.
Tastes like a brownie cookie! I followed recipe directions but replaced 1/4 cup of the flour with cocoa as other reviewers did to make this extra chocolatey. They turned out delicious and soft with a great texture. This is my new favorite cookie!
I loooove these!! As does my whole family. It is the only cookie recipe I make often. My husband says they are the best. I usually mix up the pudding flavors each time and try different chips too. I love using chocolate pudding with chocolate chips. I also use butterscotch pudding and it almost tastes just like a really moist chocolate chip cookie!! So glad I found this recipe. I have made it over and over, always great!!
These are awesome! My husband got in a snit tonight because I yelled at him for finishing the peanut butter and not telling me. He stormed out of the house and came back with peanut butter and peanut butter chips. So I looked up a recipe that would require chips and voila! While I was baking I asked him why he bought the chips. He said he knew I was going to bake something and was trying to be helpful. Men. Sometimes they do get it right. Anyway, these cookies are delicious. Will definitely put the recipe in my recipe box. I wish they didn't require a full pound of butter because "a moment on the lips, forever on the hips!" So I will save these for special occasions.

My mum and I go to church celebrating Easter. Every Easter we go to my Aunty and Uncle's house and have a huge family feast. This is a family tradition. We have a huge family Easter egg hunt where I tend to find the most chocolate eggs. I enjoy the Easter egg hunt because I get to eat the chocolate eggs I find. I love this time of year for it is a time to celebrate for lots of reasons.
This Easter is extra special because my nanna is with us celebrating Easter, this makes our family complete.
I didn't realize just how many different types of chocolate Easter eggs you can get for Easter. My favourite Easter egg is the Lindt eggs . However my mum and dad enjoy eating dark chocolate. Easter is a time to be grateful for your wonderful family, friends where ever they may live.

The following shows have received ratings of at least four stars from Times readers.BROADWAY OFF BROADWAY
"The Story of a Marriage" is the second part of Horton Foote's ever more engrossing "Orphans' Home Cycle," the so-far splendid production of nine interconnected dramas. Partly because the original scripts have been trimmed and telescoped, "The Story of a Marriage" can occasionally feel too eventful. All sorts of melodramatic happenings occur in the quiet town of Harrison, though usually offstage. These events appropriately underscore our sense of life's fragility, though, and particularly of the tenuousness of existing in the American West in the early 20th century. Expertly designed, this unfailingly engaging production seems to occur in both a very specific time and place and on the shores of eternity. — Ben Brantley

Let's get started.
Step 1: Materials
- Altoids Smalls tin: ~$1.50 at a drug store. Or buy them in bulk on Amazon.
- (1) Wire Housing: $0.13 at Mouser.com
- (2) Wire Header: $0.14 each at Mouser.com
- 3V Coin Cell Battery: Find them for cheap on ebay.com
- Coin Cell Battery Holder: $1.56 at Mouser.com
- (2) Small Pieces of Hookup Wire
- (1) Rubber Grommet: 1cm across, can be found at any hardware store
- Dremel Tool or Rotary Device
Step 2: Individualize the Wire Headers
In the picture below, I have noted what you will need to trim off on the headers in order for them to fit in the housing.
Step 3: Some Soldering
Do the same for the other wire header as well. You should now have two wire headers with two pieces of hookup wire attached to them.
Step 4: Some More Soldering
Since most of the LEDs that I use are safe with just the 3V battery, I did not add a resistor. But if you have LEDs with a lower voltage drop, then there is definitely enough room inside to add a resistor. To add a low Ohmage resistor, connect it between the negative lead on your battery holder, and the wire header thatis connected to that piece of hookup wire.
The 'voltage' of a LED isn't the voltage it's designed to run on, it's the voltage 'lost' inside the LED. A typical red LED has a drop of 1.8V so the current through it from the 3V battery could possibly kill it. A bit more info on LED voltage drops HERE.
