An improved barrier cuff for disposable absorbent articles such as a diaper is disclosed. A diaper has a liquid-pervious liner, a liquid-impervious backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the liner and backsheet, and elastically contractible leg cuffs. The cuff has a proximal edge and a distal edge and is disposed adjacent margins of the disposable diaper and defines a waste containment pocket with the backsheet and liner frontsheet. The cuff being made of an embossed plastic film having a pattern of stretched and unstretched regions. The plastic film provides ultrasoft cloth-like and quiet material for use as a cuff in comparison to known plastic film or laminates. Leakage prevention and comfort to the user are increased because the body exudates are less capable of leaking out of the absorbent article prior to absorption into the core and the wearing comfort is provided by the ultrasoft cuff.
1. A disposable absorbent article for personal use having a waste barrier cuff comprising:
a backsheet which forms an article outside layer when used by a person;
a waste absorbent layer positioned inside of said backsheet; and
a waste barrier cuff disposed adjacent a margin of the absorbent article defining a waste containment pocket with said backsheet, said cuff being an embossed thermoplastic film having a pattern embossed therein in a normal unstretched state, said film having thick and thin areas and a plurality of post-embossed stretched areas along lines spaced substantially uniformly across a surface area of both sides of said embossed film, said stretched areas being separated by unstretched areas and having a thickness less than said unstretched areas, said thin areas of said embossed film in its normal unstretched state being stretched more readily than said thick areas, said film being ultrasoft and quiet in comparison with said embossed film in its normal unstretched state.
2. The absorbent article of claim 1 further comprising:
a liquid-pervious liner which forms an article inside layer when the absorbent article is used by the person;
said absorbent layer positioned between said backsheet and said liner; and
said cuff disposed adjacent a margin of the absorbent article defining a waste containment pocket with said liner and said backsheet.
3. The absorbent article of claim 1 wherein said thermoplastic film is selected from a group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, and copolymers thereof.
4. The absorbent article of claim 1 wherein said thermoplastic film has a thickness on the order of about 0.5 to about 10 mils.
5. The absorbent article of claim 1 wherein said backsheet is liquid-impervious.
6. The absorbent article of claim 1 wherein the absorbent article is selected from the group consisting of a disposable diaper, an incontinent article, a bandage, a surgical dressing, a surgical drape, and a catamenial pad.
7. A disposable diaper having waste barrier leg cuffs comprising:
a liquid-pervious frontsheet which forms a diaper inside layer when worn by an infant;
a backsheet which forms a diaper outside layer when worn by the infant;
an absorbent layer positioned between said backsheet and said frontsheet; and
a waste barrier leg cuff disposed adjacent opposite margins of the disposable diaper defining a waste containment pocket with said frontsheet and said backsheet, said leg cuff being an embossed thermoplastic film having a pattern embossed therein in a normal unstretched state, said film having thick and thin areas and a plurality of post-embossed stretched areas along lines spaced substantially uniformly across a surface area of both sides said embossed film, said stretched areas being separated by unstretched areas and having a thickness less than said unstretched areas, said thin areas of said embossed film in its normal unstretched state being stretched more readily than said thick areas, said film being ultrasoft and quiet in comparison with said embossed film in its normal unstretched state.
8. The disposable diaper of claim 7 wherein said thermoplastic film has a thickness on the order of about 0.5 to about 2 mils.
This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 07/821,342, filed Jan. 13, 1992 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,202,173 which is a continuation of Ser. No. 478,935, filed Feb. 12, 1990, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a waste barrier cuff for an absorbent article, and more particularly, to a waste barrier cuff for a disposable diaper, in which the barrier cuff material is a thermoplastic film having improved cloth-like qualities and being ultrasoft and quiet in use.
A major function of absorbent articles used in personal hygiene is to absorb and contain bodily fluids or exudates. Absorbent articles are also intended to prevent contamination by soiling or wetting articles such as clothing or bedding. Very often contamination of clothing or other articles occurs when bodily exudates leak from the absorbent article through gaps or openings where the article meets the wearer's waist, leg, or other body part.
It has become a common practice to use disposable diapers with infants and incontinent people. Disposable diapers generally have a rectangular or hour glass shape and comprise an absorbent material sandwiched between a flexible backsheet and often an inner flexible frontsheet. The outer backsheet typically is liquid-impervious to prevent liquid drawn into the absorbent material from striking through the diaper and soiling additional clothing or bedding. On the other hand, the inner frontsheet is water-pervious to permit the voided liquid to pass therethrough into the absorbent material and provide a dry, comfortable garment.
Plastic films are often used in the fabrication of absorbent articles as replacements for woven fabrics. Plastics used in the industry are generated from high-speed production machinery and often include plastic films having an embossed design. U.S. Pat. No. 3,484,835 issued in 1969 discloses a plastic film embossed with a pattern to simulate a woven taffeta design. The simulated taffeta design disclosed in the above-mentioned patent is only an example of many different designs created and employed by film fabricators in their effort to simulate woven fabrics with respect to visual appearances and physical properties which are advantageous from a manufacturing and consumer standpoint. Another one of many such designs embossed on plastic film is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,376,147 issued in 1983 and directed to an embossed plastic film simulating a matte finish. More recently, U.S. Pat. No. 4,546,029 was issued on a random embossed thermoplastic film simulating a matte or dull finish.
Waste barrier cuffs made of plastic films or film laminates with paper and nonwoven materials are stiff and noisy. Those cuffs are also uncomfortable when the absorbent articles are worn or come into contact with a person's body. Furthermore, the fabrication of absorbent articles including such cuffs and other features has become more expensive.
As evidenced by the above background, production of plastic film for use particularly in absorbent articles has been a continuously improving technology. However, there still exists a demand for a softer, more cloth-like film that eliminates the artificial effects normally associated with plastics when used in an absorbent article. In particular, there is a need for a barrier cuff on an absorbent article or a leg cuff on a disposable diaper which utilizes a more cloth-like film while providing an effective waste or body exudate containment barrier in a more comfortable and quiet manner.
This invention is directed to an improved waste barrier cuff on an absorbent disposable article. The barrier cuff is made from an ultrasoft cloth-like embossed plastic film which provides properties heretofore unachieved in plastic films used for waste barrier cuffs on disposable absorbent articles.
Improved waste barrier cuffs provide a more comfortable absorbent article, particularly when embodied in a disposable diaper and consisting of a leg cuff worn by an infant or incontinent person. Furthermore, the improved waste barrier cuff constructed of the ultrasoft cloth-like embossed plastic film provides a less noisy absorbent article in use than prior art plastic films or paper materials previously used for barrier cuffs. In achieving these qualities, the improved waste barrier cuff is less expensive to manufacture than known cuffs made from plastic laminates, for instance.
The ultrasoft cloth-like film used for the improved waste barrier cuff of this invention has an embossed pattern and a plurality of postembossed stretched areas along lines that are spaced uniformly across surface areas of both sides of the embossed film. The stretched areas are separated by nonstretched areas and the stretched areas have a thickness less than the unstretched areas of the embossed film. This pattern of stretched-unstretched areas provides a softer and quieter plastic film in comparison to the embossed film in its normal unstretched state.
In its most preferred form, the barrier cuff is an embossed plastic film having a plurality of postembossed stretched areas spaced along lines at essentially uniform intervals completely across the length of the film. These stretched areas are preferably formed by intermeshing corrugated or gear-like rollers. It has been found that new textures may be achieved in overcoming the artificial look of embossed film by the novel technique of stretching embossed film to make them ultrasoft, cloth-like, and quiet. The stretched areas along lines in the film may be continuous or discontinuous across the width or length of the film. The stretched lines may be spaced diagonally, perpendicularly, or parallel to the length of the film, or in crossing patterns to such length. Barrier cuffs having these different stretched patterns may be achieved by providing multiple sets of stretching rollers either in line or in separate lines for diagonal, transverse, or longitudinal stretching. These techniques for making the film for the barrier cuffs are fully disclosed in the above-mentioned application, Ser. No. 07/821,342, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,202,173 which is incorporated herein by reference.
As developed in the background of this invention, waste barrier cuffs made of plastic films or laminates are rather stiff and noisy, even though they provide an effective containment area for the bodily fluids and exudates. In contrast, the barrier cuffs of this invention are ultrasoft, cloth-like, and quiet. They also provide an effective waste barrier containment cuff. Absorbent articles fabricated with the barrier cuffs are very comfortable when in contact with the wearer.
As mentioned above, the barrier cuffs are made of incrementally stretched embossed plastic film. The stretching of the plastic films does not diminish the liquid impervious nature of the plastic film. The most preferred films of this invention to be used for waste barrier cuffs are relatively thin, on the order of about 0.5 to about 2 mils. However, the advantages of this invention may be achieved in thicker films, on the order of about 5 or more mils in thickness. The depths of the emboss in thin films of about 0.5 to about 2 mils is well established in the art and usually ranges from about 1 to about 5 mils. However, in its broader aspects, this invention is not limited to these embossed depths, but rather is directed to the ultrasoft properties for a waste barrier cuff of a disposable absorbent article. Patents mentioned in the background of this invention disclose films having embossed patterns simulating woven taffeta, matte finishes, and random patterns that may be stretched to provide the ultrasoft, cloth-like, quiet nature of a waste barrier cuff of the present invention.
The above features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood in reference to the accompanying figures and detailed description. It should also be understood that the particular thermoplastic sheet materials, absorbent articles, and patterns of stretched and unstretched film of this invention are exemplary only and are not to be regarded as limitations of the invention.
Reference is now made to the accompanying figures from which the novel features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a disposable diaper embodiment incorporating the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a disposable diaper of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a magnified photographic partial view of an ultrasoft embossed film to be used as a waste barrier cuff of the present invention.
By way of illustrating and providing a more complete appreciation of the present invention and many of the attendant advantages thereof, the following detailed description is given concerning the novel plastic film properties, absorbent articles made therewith, and methods of production and use thereof.
As used herein, the term "disposable absorbent article" refers to articles which absorb and contain body fluids or exudates. More specifically, these articles are placed against or in proximity to the body of the user to absorb and contain various discharges from the body. They are intended to be discarded after a single use.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 as a disposable diaper 10. As used herein, the term "diaper" refers to a garment generally worn by infants and incontinent persons around the lower torso of the user. However, it should be understood that the present invention is also applicable to other disposable articles such as bandages, surgical dressings, surgical drapes, and catamenial pads where the waste barrier cuff serves a useful function to contain waste.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a disposable diaper 10 of the present invention having one leg region 12 joined and one leg region 14 in its opened or unattached state. Disposable diapers typically comprise a backsheet 16, a body side frontsheet or liner 18, and an absorbent pad 20 disposed between the backsheet 16 and the liner 18. The absorbent pad 20 can best be seen in the sectional view of the disposable diaper 10 in FIG. 2. The liner 18, although optional in many embodiments of the present invention, is made from a liquid-pervious material. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the backsheet 16 is made of a liquid-impervious material. The liner 18 and backsheet 16 are essentially coterminous and form a generally rectangular or hour glass shape with a back waist section 22 and a front waist section 24 and two side sections 26. Intermediate the front waist section 24 and back waist section 22 is a crotch section 28. The disposable diaper 10 is typically placed around a user, such as an infant, and held in place with fastening means 30 such as tape as shown in FIG. 1.
A barrier cuff, or a leg cuff 32 in the preferred embodiment of the disposable diaper 10, is a flexible member which is elastically contractible and disposed adjacent a side of the absorbent article or disposable diaper preferably along each longitudinal side section 26 so that the leg cuff 32 tends to draw and hold the diaper 10 against the leg of the wearer. As used herein, the term "flexible" refers to materials which are compliant and readily conform to the general shape and contours of the body. In addition, the leg cuff 32 comprises elastic members such that the cuff may be contractible so that a distal edge 34 thereof may be sufficiently spaced away from the liner 18 so that a channel 36 is formed to contain and hold bodily fluids and exudates within the absorbent article as shown in FIG. 2.
The distal edge 34 and a proximal edge 38 of the leg cuff 32 are in spaced relation to each other and define the width of the leg cuff 32. The proximal 38 and distal 34 edges may be parallel, nonparallel, rectilinear, or curvilinear in relation to one another. Furthermore, the leg cuff 32 may have a variety of different cross-sectional areas including circular, square, rectangular, or any other geometric configuration. In use, a waste containment pocket 40 is formed along the proximal 38 and distal 36 edges and an inner surface 42 of the leg cuff 32. The containment pocket 40 forms a barrier to the flow of exudates as they tend to move or flow across the liner 18 or waste absorbent pad 20. Thus, the containment pocket 40 holds and contains exudates until the disposable diaper 10 can be removed from the wearer. The containment pocket 40 is further enhanced in the preferred embodiment by using a plastic film material. A plastic film provides a liquid-impervious barrier to the flow of bodily fluids and exudates out from the containment pocket 40.
When the disposable diaper 10 is worn, the leg cuff 32 is typically in contact with the upper thigh portion of the user's leg. While being worn by the user, the leg cuff 32 rubs on this portion of the wearer's body as a result of leg or torso movements. The soft and cloth-like nature of the plastic film used in construction of the leg cuff 32 according to the present invention provides a more comfortable and quieter disposable diaper 10 than the previously available with known plastic films or paper materials.
A waste barrier cuff or leg cuff 32 according to the present invention is more cloth-like, softer, and quieter than leg cuffs constructed from plastic films or laminates currently used in the industry. FIG. 3 is a magnified photographic partial view of an ultrasoft embossed film 44 suitable for use as the leg cuff 32 in the present invention. The embossed pattern shown in FIG. 3 is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,376,147 which has been stretched with a plurality of post-embossed stretch areas along two crossing diagonal lines across its width and length. The film shown in FIG. 3 was produced with two passes through diagonal intermeshing stretching rollers. After the first pass, the film was reversed, left to right, for the second pass, creating a pattern of substantially perpendicular stretched lines diagonally oriented relative to the length and width of the film as disclosed in application Ser. No. 07/821,342, and that disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. This method of stretching results in some unstretched areas 46, some areas stretched once 48, and remaining areas stretched twice 50 in a biaxial manner.
FIG. 3 is a photograph of the plastic film 44 at a magnification of about 18� and with the film 44 under slight biaxial tension to remove puckers. The three distinct areas are shown: as the unstretched areas 46, the areas stretched only once 48, and the areas that were stretched twice 50. The areas stretched twice 50 are the thinnest areas of the plastic film 44, with areas being stretched only once 48 being thicker than twice stretched areas 50 and thinner than the unstretched areas 46. The thin areas are stretched preferentially to the thick areas due to lower resistance to the stretching force.
Barrier cuffs made from stretched embossed plastic films of a kind shown in FIG. 3 have a number of advantages; specifically, they are ultrasoft, quiet, and simulate fabric, or cloth in appearance and texture. These cloth-like qualities have been heretofore unachieved in plastic films used for leg cuffs on absorbent disposable articles. These films may be economically processed and advantageously employed in other absorbent articles in addition to disposable diapers such as bandages, surgical dressings, surgical drapes, incontinent articles, and catamenial pads. Leg cuffs and waste barrier cuffs constructed of films of this invention may be provided with woven, nonwoven, and other unique appearances and still have an ultrasoft hand feel and a quiet property, i.e., they make little or no noise when crinkled.
In a preferred form of plastic film used for cuffs of the invention, low to medium density polyethylene, polypropylene, or copolymers thereof are formed into an embossed film by a slot die extrusion means. In achieving the preferred film thickness of between 0.5-2 mils to about 5 mils, along with the necessary embossed depth of about 1 to about 5 mils, conditions are controlled in a manner well within the skill of those knowledgeable in the art of producing embossed plastic films. Thus, process conditions that are obviously controlled to produce embossed film include temperature, pressure exerted between the nip of the embossing roller or system, depth of the engraved design on the steel roll, and the hardness of a rubber roll. Details of such process are disclosed in the above-referenced patents discussed in the background of this invention which are incorporated herein by reference.
From the above disclosure of the general principles of the present invention and the preceding detailed description of a preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will readily comprehend the various modifications to which the present invention is susceptible. Therefore, we desire to be limited only by the scope of the following claims and equivalents thereof:

Fundamental understanding of membrane fouling using intermolecular forces between a protein and a thin polysulfone film.
In: 211th ACS National Meeting, New Orleans, LA, March 24-28
New Orleans (1996), S. BIOT-082
Buchaufsatz / Kapitel / Fach: Chemie
The Surface Forces App. (SFA) was used to quant. det. the mol. interactions between layers of protein (hen egg-white lysozyme, Lz) and a thin hydrophobic polysulfone film formed by spin-coating techniques. The normalized intermol. interactions between layers of polysulfone and lysozyme were measured below, at and above the pI of lysozyme (pI = 10.8). Filtration studies using polysulfone membranes were also performed at the same conditions. Adsorption isotherms of the lysozyme on mica and polysulfone film substrates were also measured. The activity of the adsorbed protein was detd. using a fluorimetric assay. The results of this study have direct relevance to a better understanding of the mechanism of protein interactions with polymeric films including membranes, films, tubes and beads and should help in a priori design of new polymeric materials that exhibit low nonspecific protein adsorption.

Soldier to be honored
The man died a week ago in Iraq from explosion
Friends and family will honor Army Sgt. Johnny J. Peralez Jr. of Falfurrias with a tree-planting ceremony Thursday at Falfurrias High School.
Funeral arrangements for the fallen soldier were still pending Tuesday after the arrival of his remains was delayed.
Thursday's ceremony will mark one week since Peralez was killed by an improvised explosive device in An Najaf, Iraq. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. in the high school auditorium. At 10:30 a.m., a 20-foot tall oak tree will be planted in Peralez's memory.
A spokeswoman for the family said Peralez's body arrived in Dover, Del., on Tuesday and should arrive in Texas in 48 hours. Arrangements are being handled by Alaniz Funeral Home in Falfurrias.
Peralez, 25, was on his second tour in Iraq when he was killed by an improvised explosive device in An Najaf.
Peralez joined the Army a year after graduating from Falfurrias High School and became a combat medic, earning the rank of sergeant. After joining the Army, Peralez served in Germany and Kosovo and was among the first contingent of American troops in Afghanistan. He also served 14 months in Iraq before returning for a second tour in November, his family said.
Survivors include his mother, Virginia Garcia of Falfurrias; his father, Johnny J. Peralez of Lockney; a sister, Nina Kristine Peralez of Dallas; two brothers, Romeo Villa of Killeen and Jessie Rene Peralez of Lockney; and his grandparents, Carmen Arellano of Kingsville, Jose and Tomasa Peralez of Lockney and Pedro Vasquez of Premont.

I decided to try to make these bowls and incorporate them into my old lamp. I have never posted on this site or altered a lamp before this. Here is what I did, hopefully someone can find it useful in their creative processes.
Step 1: Tools
Step 2: Melt Records
y, my lamp just twisted apart into three sections, I decided to shorten the lamp by one section and put in two vinyl record shelves. After cutting the wire near the top of the lamp and dissambeling the lamp, I used a drill to widen the holes in the records until I could screw the record onto the pieces of the lamp. This isn't a safe or recomended method, but it worked.
Step 3: Assemble the lamp
I also had a problem with turning three sections into two. To fix this, I had to use a wrench to remove the inner fitting of one section, and then use the wrench to screw it into the other section.

Great location, and very, very close to the real Irish pub.....Dinny's Bar in Charleville, Ireland!
Posted by Anonymous on 04/02/2010
I've been going here since childhood and over the years the menu has gotten a lot better! The food quality is above average and the atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable! The Sunday brunch is phenomenal!
Posted by Anonymous on 05/10/2008
The four P's is delicious Irish classic with a variety of sausage, eggs, potatoes... and the bass with crabmeat and asparagus over delicious mashed potatoes was a winner too. My child ate every bite of his fish and chips. He's not a big eater. Attention to customers needs is great and the singing with acoustic guitar was neither too loud nor too low, I didn't want to leave.
Posted by meGrimlock on 04/07/2008
Not your usual pub crowd, you'll find a mix of 20-60 somethings and beyond! Staff is very friendly and the place is very clean with those ubiquitous Irish sayings on the walls. Service in the restaurant might be slower than a leprechaun on a wheelchair but your 30 something friends will be at the bar anyway. Even if they ignore you cuz of the good time they're having, you wont look as much of a loser because the 60+ crowd wont care. Awesome shepard's pie, good sandwich/soup of the day deals.

Jersey Shore
JWOWW Goes Shirtless While Playing the Field! (PHOTO)
Even though JWOWW is a taken woman, back in college, she definitely played the field … the softball field, that is!
There's nothing we love more than a good throwback pic, and JWOWW recently Instagrammed a glorious one from her college softball days at New York Institute of Technology — and it looks like she's about to hit a homerun! She included the hashtags #kickass and #amazingness, clearly proud to show off her athletic prowess with a look of fierce determination.
We know JWOWW is one tough cookie (if her spars on Jersey Shore are any indication). She memorably got into a fist fight with Sammi Sweetheart in Season 3 that included hair-pulling and resulted in some broken fake nails!
"We used to beat up girls like that in high school," she declared after the fight, and that was far from her last scuffle on the show. Thankfully, the two patched things up and have been friends ever since … for the most part.
You may also remember the famous punch JWOWW gave The Situation on Season 1 when he dissed her best friend Snooki. We always knew our girl was a fighter, but it looks like she was one on the sports field, too!
Are you surprised by JWOWW's athletic past? Sound off below!

Sivi Remley
It was 1983,
recalled, when she first became seriously ill. She remembered flu-like symptoms with a high fever, vomiting, headache and joint pain. Upon examination doctors noted an inflamed liver. These threatening symptoms lasted a couple of weeks. She was hospitalized for a few days and was d iagnosed with juvenile RA and vasculitis, and her rheumatologist recommended treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Ten years later, in 1993, Sivi had a happy and momentous yearshe graduated from college and became engaged. Conversely, when she attended a cousin's wedding in San Diego, she became very ill once again. She remembered experiencing flu-like symptoms and her family thought it was a virus. Her symptoms grew worse-a very high fever, debilitating joint pain, and her family noticed a significant weight loss. She also noticed sun-sensitivity and a rash appeared on her arms, face and legs. She was referred to numerous physicians and extensive blood studies were inconclusive.
She progressively became worse and her fever increased to 105 degrees. Over a two week period of time she visited six doctors. When one of the doctors saw the butterfly rash on Sivi's face he commented "she probably has lupus." They tested her once again for lupus and this time the results were positive. She was hospitalized and the doctor prescribed prednisone and plaquenil. Soon she was stabilized and was able to go home.
The following year, in 1994, she married Jay Remley. Her health remained stable and her doctor advised her to continue with her current medical regimen to prevent a future flare. She became pregnant in 1998 and towards the end of her pregnancy became pre-eclamptic. She had to take magnesium to control her extremely high blood pressure and to ensure the safe delivery of her child.
Her subsequent pregnancy was normal, however, her doctor considered her a high-risk patient and monitored her very closely, including requiring non-stress tests to confirm she and her baby were doing well.
In recent years Sivi remains sun sensitive, experiences fatigue and sometimes arthritis bothers her. Now at 34, she is fortunate, reporting that since 2001 she manages her disease without taking any medication. She gets adequate rest-when the children take their naps, she does too.
To take care of her sun-sensitivity, she uses a lot of sunscreen. She also wears long-sleeved shirts and hats. She has noticed that the sun does cause her to become more fatigued.
Sivi mentioned "I don't know what I would do without Jay. When I am tired he does the grocery shopping, the dishes and whatever needs to be done. I am very fortunate to have such an understanding husband. He is always there for me."
Sivi found the LFNC in the spring of 2003. To learn about lupus, she read many articles and several books from the LFNC library. Sivi said "this information was easily accessible and I found them to be very informative and encouraging."
From the time she was in high school, she always wanted to volunteer. Lupus was her passion now and she decided to get involved with the LFNC. She became a passionate fundraiser and for the past two years recruited large teams of 15-20 friends and relatives to attend the Foundation's annual run with her. She has also been one of the "top sellers" of entry forms for the LFNC's annual Mercedes event.
She also became an active office volunteer and subsequently, when a staff position became available, she worked seven months as the LFNC Development Assistant. "When I was a LFNC staff person," Sivi stated, "I became fully aware of the how vitally important the Foundation's services are to many thousands of people who request services or contact the office."
"It was a delight to work with the LFNC staff," she continued, "they are all so bright and creative. It was such fun to go to work each day. It is amazing how much work is done through the office. The Foundation provides its services so cost-efficiently." Sivi concluded, "Won¹t you join me and my family as we make a generous gift to the LFNC this summer?"

& pick-up times
With the pace of technological advance increasing exponentially, and the cost of technology decreasing in almost equal proportion, and just as fast, we all soon find ourselves left with obsolete computer equipment, or e-waste.
So what do you do with an old computer monitor that no longer works? A personal computer that no longer computes? A coffee-drenched keyboard? That unbearably slow printer? Call1-800-GOT-JUNK? and our friendly, uniformed drivers will make your old computer and monitor disposal problems disappear. Further, our worldwide franchises comply with all local environmental regulations, and will recycle your obsolete equipment accordingly. Book your old PC and computer monitor disposal with us online, and you'll save ten dollars.
To learn more about 1-800-GOT-JUNK?'s old PC and computer monitor disposal options, please click the links below.
Old computer and monitor disposal is, as those burdened with obsolete technology have found, not as easy as simply putting the equipment out with the trash.
Due to the heavy metals used in monitors and circuit boards, most trash haulers won't take old computers or monitors. Computer monitor disposal, in particular, presents difficult issues: the cathode ray tube, or CRT, housed in older monitors and television sets contains lead, mercury, barium, and other toxic substances, all of which have been linked to serious health issues if they are released in a landfill. Therefore, computer monitor disposal involves far more than just taking your e-waste out to the curb.
Your local 1-800-GOT-JUNK? drivers will pick up your old PC and computer monitor and arrange safe disposal through the proper channels.
Cathode ray tubes, found in older computer monitors and televisions, contain lead, barium, mercury, cadmium, and phosphorous, all of which have been shown to be serious health risks should they be improperly handled. Further, approximately one-fifth of the weight of the glass in your computer monitor can be attributed to lead. If your computer monitor was put in a landfill, it would eventually be crushed by heavy equipment, releasing the hazardous materials both into the ground, where they will eventually leech into the water table, or as particles into the air. Airborne lead particles have been linked to severe respiratory problems and neuropsychological disorders. Accordingly, the Environmental Protection Agency and many US state governments have developed measures to keep e-waste out of our landfills. All of which makes computer monitor and PC disposal increasingly difficult – and the safe disposal of e-waste extremely important.
1-800-GOT-JUNK? fully supports old computer, monitor, and other e-waste recycling; if you have either personal or business e-waste you need to dispose of, simply call our toll-free number, or book your trash pick-up online and save up to ten dollars.
Whether you're saddled with 20 obsolete CRT monitors cluttering up your company's storage space, or a fifteen year old PC that's been occupying the corner of your basement since you upgraded (ten years ago), 1-800-GOT-JUNK? will ensure fast and efficient old PC and computer monitor disposal. You'll only pay for the space your junk has taken up in the truck. Our drivers will even haul your old equipment out of wherever you're storing it, in the back of the basement or up in the attic, and will sweep up afterward.
Whether you're looking for old PC and computer monitor disposal, appliance recycling, or just have an old sofa you need to get rid of, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? can see to your junk and debris removal quickly, courteously, and in a manner consistent with all environmental and health regulations.
We currently recycle and donate more than 60% of the junk we remove, and our Franchise Partners work with non-profit organizations in your community such as Salvation Army, St. Vincent De Paul, and Habitat for Humanity.
Simply schedule your old PC and computer monitor disposal; our drivers will call fifteen to thirty minutes before the scheduled arrival window, then they'll be at your address in one of our clean and shiny 1-800-GOT-JUNK? trucks. They'll assess what will be involved in your PC and computer monitor disposal and will give you a price for the job before they begin. If you agree to the price, then they'll pick up your junk; you don't even have to take it to the curb. We make old PC and computer monitor disposal, or any kind of junk removal, easy.

GLENS FALLS For two hours on Monday, a standing-room-only crowd peppered Warren County supervisors with questions and impassioned comments regarding a pending county airport expansion.
About 185 people attended the special meeting of the county Board of Supervisors' Facilities Committee held July 8 in Crandall Library. The meeting was called in response to lobbying from the locally-based group Upstate New York Taxpayers Advocates.
Most all those offering comments were affiliated with the group and were opposed to a planned $8 million runway extension. The statements by UNYTA members were underscored with applause from the crowd.
The extension, first approved by the county board in 2002 to comply with FAA recommendations, adds 1,000 feet to the main runway's 5,000-feet length. The project is to be bankrolled with a $7,200 federal grant and $400,000 in state money, leaving $400,000 for local taxpayers to shoulder.
Several citizens called for a public referendum to be held on the project. County Attorney Martin Auffredou said that holding a referendum, if allowable by state law, would be up to a vote of the full county Board of Supervisors.
Jack Currie of Queensbury warned that accepting federal funds would prevent the county from setting its own limits on hours of operation or other restrictions. The county would be forced to meet all FAA requirements or return the grant money, he said, adding that other municipalities that sought to shut down their airports were forced to keep them open for 20 years with the full cost being paid by local taxpayers.
"There are a lot of strings attached to grant money," Currie said.
But County Airport manager Ross Dubarry said that the runway upgrade was primarily for safety and to boost the facility's use.
The extension would allow more jets to land — carrying more fuel and larger payload — plus it offered more flexibility in case of an engine failure. Dubarry also said that according to a 2010 state study, one extra jet regularly using the airport would generate $1 million in additional local economic activity, as well as create five jobs.

DURHAM, N.H. - Alyson Coler (Monte Sereno, Calif.), Erin Ludwig (Franklin Lakes, N.J.) and Natasha Otte (Plymouth, N.H.) all recorded double digits in kills to lead the University of New Hampshire women's volleyball team to Saturday night's 3-0 America East conference victory against Binghamton University at Lundholm Gymnasium. The game scores were 30-26, 30-19 and 30-27.
Coler finished with a match-high 14 kills - Ludwig and Otte both finished with 11 - as UNH won its fourth consecutive match to improve to 15-10 overall and 6-1 in America East. Binghamton is now 12-10 overall and 3-4 in league play.
With UNH trailing 15-14 in Game 1, a solo block by Otte ignited a four-point Wildcat run to give the home team an 18-15 lead. The Bearcats pulled within one point seven times the remainder of the game but never pulled even again as UNH won four of the last five points to secure Game 1, 30-16.
New Hampshire trailed 5-4 in Game 2 before reeling off five consecutive points - two on Erin Walker (Fulton, N.Y.) service aces - to take a 9-5 lead. UNH extended its advantage to 15-7 before Binghamton rallied to within 16-12. The Wildcats won nine of the next 11 points, however, to pull away at 25-14. Otte registered three more kills to help close out the game.
Game 3 was also close early and the Bearcats held a 9-8 lead before a 9-1 UNH run gave the home team a 17-10 advantage. Binghamton later won three consecutive points to close within one, 22-21, but Coler recorded one her six kills of the third game to keep UNH in front.
The Bearcats eventually rallied to tie the score, 26-26, behind the efforts of Anne Crocus (team-high eight kills, two blocks) and Megan Hoag (six kills). With the game tied at 27 Coler had another kill and, one point later, Walker closed out the match with her eighth kill of the night.
UNH setters Anne Davis (Groveland, Ill.) and Katie Weidner (Warrenville, Ill.) split playing time evenly. Davis started the match and exited with 21 assists. Weidner compiled 23 assists.
UNH's defensive effort was led by Sasha Scott (N. Branford, Conn.), who registered a team-high 14 digs. Binghamton's Nicole Savin finished with a match-high 15 digs and Ashley Meffert was credited with 26 assists.
Both Chelsea Hammer (Eden Prairie, Minn.) and Katie Steffens (Monroe, Conn.) were limited to action in Game 3, but both made significant contributions. Hammer finished with three kills and two blocks while Steffens had four kills.
New Hampshire returns to action Oct. 28 (7 p.m.) at Maine. The next Wildcat home game is Nov. 14 against Northeastern. Match time at Lundholm Gymnasium is 7 p.m.

Brittany Rogers is ranked in the top-15 on vault and bars.
Feb. 25, 2013
ATHENS-----On the heels of its best road score of the season Friday night at Missouri, the Georgia gymnastics team moved up one spot to No. 7 in this week's national rankings.
This is the first week rankings are based on RQS. RQS is based on a team's six best regular-season-meet scores; to obtain the RQS, the high score is eliminated and the remaining five scores are averaged.
Oklahoma moved into the No. 1 spot with a 197.410 RQS, followed by Florida (197.280), Michigan (196.975), Alabama (196.810), LSU (196.770), UCLA (196.720), Georgia (196.595), Utah (196.375), Oregon State (196.370) and Nebraska (196.365) to round out the top-10.
The Gym Dogs defeated Missouri 196.825-194.550 Friday night in Columbia, and in the process posted the team's second-highest beam score of the season and the third-highest scores on bars and floor.
In the event rankings, Georgia is No. 2 on bars with a 49.385 RQS, No. 4 on vault (49.335), and No. 10 on beam (49.010) and floor (49.105).
Individually, Chelsea Davis held on to her spot atop the bars rankings with a 9.935 RQS, while freshman Brittany Rogers is tied for third at 9.9. Davis has won the bars title in every meet and has scored a 9.95 four times, including most recently Friday night against Mizzou.
Georgia has another freshman ranked in the top-five nationally as Brandie Jay is fourth on vault with a 9.91. She is one of three Gym Dogs ranked in the top-25 on vault, with Rogers coming in at No. 15 with a 9.89, and Lindsey Cheek tied for 18th at 9.885.
Shayla Worley, who tied her career-high with a 9.95 Friday night, is tied for eighth on the balance beam with a 9.875, while Kaylan Earls is 20th with a 9.855. On floor, Christa Tanella is tied for 18th with a 9.875.
The Gym Dogs will be back in action Friday night when they travel to fifth-ranked LSU.

A couple finds and shares nature
The work of the day was done, and she watched from behind the white and blue curtains as he walked to the house.
She knows his ways. She knows his shoulders, eyes and his hands, too. His voice is strong and crisp, and his eyes are soft and true.
He bends to unlace his boots on the porch, and she calls his name in such a way that his smile is natural.
"James," she says.
Bethany steps from the kitchen to the porch with her scarf tight around her neck, her hands tucked inside gloves and her knit cap hiding her teasing curls.
"Let's go in search," she said.
They are hand in hand as he looked into her eyes and said: "There is no need to search, when a man knows what is found."
She giggles, and their hands are tight as they walk.
They are custodians of this place and keepers of the gifts found here, too. This land is fertile, and game and fish are abundant from the pond.
Bethany hunts when she feels moved and fishes even if the fish do not bite. She is like the sun, bringing light to any troubles of the day.
James is a farmer and works this land that lives within him.
They share a fascination with nature, the landscape and the discoveries made here. Some years ago, James walked beside Bethany, showing her where the crops grow, the shade is cool and where the sun escapes, too.
Ever since, rarely have they been apart. She is a collector and an observer, and she takes her time to observe a found feather or a shell long ago vacated by a simple box turtle.
It is this time of year, between the serenades of winter's final days and the anticipation of the warmth of spring, that James and Bethany search for relics of nature. Somewhere between their first steps and when they return, they find things and sometimes they find each other again.
Her hand is in his as they walk past the barn, beyond the wooden gate and along the wetness of the lower meadow. It is cold, as it should be. It is quiet, as it needs to be.
He knows her cadence of breath. She adores his rhythm of pace. They walk beyond the rocks where they sometimes sit, cross the fallen trees that soon will be cut. They follow the rows where crops once grew, and they look here and there.
They have followed the tracks in the mud on such walks, and they have admired the birds in the sky. They also have retraced moments in their lives.
They have found the age of nature upon trees and the weathered ground, and the way the rotted logs are softer from season to season. On such walks, they occasionally find signs of life and signs of who they are.
After they had traveled some distance, they followed a familiar way home. The rocks were solid by the creek, and the fence was long ago rusted and it became their guide.
As their conversation goes, the silence was full of love. They were equally grateful, too — for the day, the resources of life, the struggles overcome, the candles, the flowers, and that her hand is in his and this is how their conversations go.
On this walk, they shared and observed.
When it was seen, Bethany saw the left side and then James noticed the right. It was appropriate to pause. Before them were the shed antlers of an eight-point buck. He had stood at this place and, as bucks might do, shed the old so that the new soon could exist.
When she knelt beside the antler, Bethany did not immediately touch or disturb. Instead, she framed the moment and absorbed the wonder of this discovery.
James looked to his Bethany and smiled.
The obvious could have been said. Yet when he reached for her hand and pulled her close, their silence was worth more than words they might have spoke.
They walked into the darkness. She clinched her right hand, and he gripped with his left.
This gift was a gift from a nature that shares. Their gift is that of sharing, too.
Enjoy your time outdoors.

According to the official Facebook page of Classic Championship Wrestling, the promotion was unable to secure a wrestling ring for the event. Despite the dilemma, Volkoff and Fulton rallied the locker room to make the best of the situation, under the proclamation that "the show must go on."
"The boys in the locker room were all still worried due to having no ring. Bobby Fulton took charge and had a meeting in the locker room informing us that the show must go on and that we were here to give fans what they want to see," wrote the event promoter. "Bobby then assigned us all to duties to where the locker rooms discouragement lifted up to where everyone became encouraged and did their part to where we all worked together to make this event happen. The end result was the event was an hour and a half and the fans were louder then most shows I've been on in the past. The workers stepped up got out of their fear mindsets and put on one of the most memorable and loudest shows i ever been on. The fans were into it like you wouldn't believe and every fan left with a smile on their face and a wrestling show that they will never forget. This night respect was earned from everyone and we were praised by a true legend Bobby Fulton.
"The impossable to us became possable and the true story of it all is through prayer GOD was at work last night. This night takes me to the Bible to where Joshua led the Israelites into the promise land. There was doubt, discouragement and hoplessness but the faith of Joshua and the Israelites and the will to serve the LORD led them to bring down the walls of Jericho and become victorious. Sometimes in life things happen beyond our control and FAITH alone can move mountains and last night mountains were moved and GOD broke the walls down and the end result was these guys in the locker room were filled with joy thanks be to our Lord Jesus Christ and true warriors were made. I will never forget this night and I will never forget the Power of our GOD! For those that werent there and are speaking negetive abt this event well all I can say is I wish u were all there to see the powerful movement of GOD and the wonders he did. He was in us all and everyone became winners on this unforgetable evening! Thank You Lord above all in Jesus name I give u praise and Am so Thankful!"
The promoter added, "Bobby Fulton & Nikolai Volkoff got on the mats and wrestled...Nikolai said that's the way it used to be all class acts and we will be back soon."

text: University Libraries Databases More Info About SAFEHAVEN Reports on Nazi Looting of Occupied Countries and Assets in Neutral CountriesDescription:It was within the context of evidence collection that the War Crimes Branch received copies of documents known as "SAFEHAVEN Reports." SAFEHAVEN was the code name of a project of the Foreign Economic Administration, in cooperation with the State Department and the military services, to block the flow of German capital across neutral boundaries and to identify and observe all German overseas investments. In order to coordinate research and intelligence-sharing regarding SAFEHAVEN-related topics, the War Crimes Branch received SAFEHAVEN reports from various agencies of the U.S. Government, as well as SAFEHAVEN-related military attaché reports, regarding the clandestine transfer of German assets outside of Germany that could be used to rebuild the German war machine or the Nazi party after the war, as well as art looting and other acts that elicited the interest of Allied intelligence agencies during the war. Another aspect of the SAFEHAVEN project was the restoration of looted art treasures to their rightful owners.Concurrent Users: unlimitedSearch this Database

Pa Ventura: November 5, 2011
To Ventura
The unusual "Bus Home" artwork at the bus transfer station at Pacific View Mall is included on a national list of "bizarre" public art displays. What took so long? The locals have been ridiculing it for years.
To celebrity watchers
Reality TV starlet Kim Kardashian filed for divorce this week from her new husband, NBA player Kris Humphries. As one newsroom wag commented, Humphries is now involved in two lockouts.
To everyone
All the election campaigning — the signs, the forums and even the letters to my favorite newspaper — that's all been for naught unless residents in cities holding elections go to the polls Tuesday and cast your vote. You're the one who has the final say.
To voters
Beware the inevitable late hits that are launched in every election — the cheapest of cheap shots that are tossed out too late to be effectively refuted.
To Dodger fans
With news that owner Frank McCourt has agreed to sell the baseball franchise, this turned out to be a pretty good year for the Dodgers after all.
To snackers
Is it your fault that there weren't more trick-or-treaters on Halloween so you wouldn't wind up with so many leftover goodies?
To sports fans
What if they canceled the pro basketball season and nobody cared? The millionaire players and billionaire owners are on the verge of finding out.
To taxpayers
A judge awarded more than $30,000 in attorney fees to the Ventura County Taxpayers Association, which had sued the county to get the names of hundreds receiving six-figure pensions. The award was peanuts compared to some gold-plated pensions.
To old-timers
Now that the tourists are gone we can admit our delicious little secret: This is the best time of year to savor Ventura County weather and those spectacular sunsets.
To Oxnard
Folks are miffed about rubble remaining long after the Wagon Wheel Motel was torn down. This haul-away job is too big for the wagon and wagonmaster on the motel's sign, which is still standing.
To seniors
Happy 30th birthday to a program that makes a big difference in people's lives. The Ombudsman Program of Ventura County, which looks out for the rights of nursing-home residents, is having an anniversary gala fundraiser tonight at the Museum of Ventura County.
To history lovers
The annual Ramona Days festivities are happening today at Rancho Camulos Museum and National Historic Landmark near Piru. It's history and fun, rolled into one event.
To clock watchers
It's that time of the year again — time to fall back by setting clocks back one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday, putting everyone on standard time, which will be observed until the second Sunday in March.
To Conejo Valley
Manna, the Conejo Valley's community food bank, will help more families thanks to a food drive being held today at Redwood Middle School in Thousand Oaks. Non-perishable food items and pet supplies may be dropped off at the donation tent between 8 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
To parents
Hug your child today. Time is flying faster than you think it is.

Thank you Brooks Running
Friday, last, I received my sponsorship contract for 2013 from Brooks Running. Thank you! I really like Brooks. Not just because they sponsor me, but they make great shoes. They are also a great, progressive company that seems to be keeping stride with the ever changing running shoe market. That impresses me. For example, January 1, 2013 […] [Read More]

DIY Easter Eggs: 5 Natural Decorating Techniques
I am really excited to try dying Easter eggs the natural way this year, and I am planning to use the recipes I found over at The Kitchn. I also researched different ways to decorate my eggs, and found some fun and easy ideas using things you probably already have at home. My five favorite technique finds are below, and would love to hear of your own natural egg dying tips in the comments below!
DIY Wall Decor Ideas: Decorating with Flowers and Tape
It does not take much more than some flowers and tape to transform a bare wall into something simple and pretty. Whether you decide to use dried foliage that you have been collecting or fresh flowers for a dinner party or photo background, just grab some tape and start arranging.

Allow me to confess: even if I know I should be doing something, I have a hard time actually doing it unless I get myself jazzed about doing it.

10 Common Thrift Store Finds That Work Great for DIY Projects
We often hear people complain that they're no good at thrift store shopping—they have an aversion to dirt, no patience, or just bad luck. The truth is that anyone can be a good thrifter if they keep an open mind. It's as simple as recognizing when an object needs a good cleaning, a coat of paint, or even just a new context. Need more direction than that? Here's a list of a few common items to keep an eye out for — an ultimate DIY shopping list to carry with you next time you thrift!
7 New Uses for an Old Ironing Board
I am not a big fan of ironing, but I sure do appreciate a nice ironing board. If you come across a pretty vintage one, or if you are lucky enough to already own an attractive ironing board, dust it off and consider giving it a new use.
DIY Home Decor: 5 Hand Stamped Statement Walls
Do you have a white wall that needs a little something? Take inspiration from these fabulous walls and consider hand stamping them. You can make your stamp from inexpensive materials like craft foam, cardboard, or potatoes, and the project doesn't need to be ornerous — all of these walls were completed in a afternoon or two.
The Ten Commandments of Buying Used Furniture
You see a chair on the curb. It's sitting right in front of your building and it's free. Or, you're at the thrift store and spy a cheap sofa. But something holds you back. You're just. not. quite. sure. If only there were guidelines — holy reminders if you will — of things to keep in mind while looking at used furniture. How do you decide if it's the right thing to re-do? Or if you should run in the other direction?
Achoo! Vintage Handkerchiefs As Decor
One of the only things I took from my Great Aunt Betty's apartment after she died were some of her vintage handkerchiefs. She had stacks of them because she grew up in a time when people actually used handkerchiefs and more than anything else in her home these remind me of her. My own tastes lean modern so for now I'm just going to hold onto them (perhaps I'll try actually using them), but if you, too, have a similar collection and favor a vintage vibe in your home, here are some ideas for how to incorporate them into your decor.
DIY Home Decor: 15 Takes on Classic Macrame Hanging Planters
I am always on the lookout for new hanging planters, but I usually find them to be out of my price range or just not quite right. Recently I spent an evening searching online for DIY versions, and I rounded up 15 tutorials based on the old school macramé planters of the 70s. There are plenty of ideas to inspire you, using a variety of materials — rope, cording, leather, brass fittings, even t-shirts. Grab that pretty twine you've been saving, or that old t-shirt you can't part with (but can't wear anymore), and happy crafting!
Team USA: 10 All-American Textile Manufacturers

Let's take it around the horn, boys, and remember our motto: "If it's not snappy, it's crappy!"
* Can you name all 11 former Mets currently in the Hall of Fame? Head over to Mets360 for the answer.
* The first time I read the redoubtable Nate Silver, the creator of the PECOTA system of predicting the performance of baseball prayers, he was doing complex statistical analysis for Baseball Prospectus. These days he's getting a lot more attention as Public Enemy #1 amongst some right-wing conservatives.
* Is it really a choice between cratering the franchise and freezing the roster? Howard Megdal looks again at the Mets options for Wright and Dickey. My only quibble with an otherwise excellent article: He tends to link them — both stay, or both go — whereas I see the King Solomon approach, "cut the living child in two." Says Megdal:
The twin realities facing this Mets team, however, are that they need to keep people interested in 2013, and they need to add to their overall talent base. Simply signing R.A. Dickey and David Wright to long-term extensions freezes the roster in place for next season. The Mets will have a pair of marketable, even beloved stars. But they went 74-88 with both of those players having perhaps the best seasons they will ever have.
Dealing both Wright and Dickey, though, on the heels of letting Jose Reyes go, could crater the franchise. Just how many games will that same roster win without Wright and Dickey? And just how willing will other teams be to trade the Mets young, cost-controlled replacements for Wright and Dickey, when they can just, you know, keep the younger, cheaper versions of them both?
* Robert Patterson over at Metsmerized asks, "How Long Can the Average Mets Fan Hold On?"
Everyone wants to root for a winner, but for a large portion of the fanbase the normal feelings of hope and promise have been replaced with apathy and indifference. It's easy to say we don't need fans like that, but the fact is the team does, and if we'd like to see winning baseball return to Queens sooner than later, we need them too.
* Is "Buckner's Bolero" by The Baseball Project the greatest Mets-centric rock song of all time? My take: any song that name checks Calvin Schiraldi, Gary Carter, Dwight Gooden and Mookie Wilson has got to be a contender. Musically, it drags; but the lyrics are awesome (see below).
"Buckner's Bolero," lyrics by Scott McCaughey
If Bobby Ojeda hadn't raged at Sullivan and Yawkey,
and hadn't been traded to the Mets for Calvin Schiraldi.
If Oil Can Boyd hadn't been such a nut case,
and Jim Rice had twice taken an easy extra base.
If the Red Sox had had a better playoff 4th starter –
instead Nipper served up a big fat slider to Carter.
What would Seaver have done if not for his bum knee?
Would he have taken the ball and exacted revenge on his old team?
If Gooden had pitched like the real Dr. K,
or Donnie Moore hadn't had that nightmare day,
that stuck with him till he couldn't take anymore,
and turned his own kitchen into a killing floor.
And John McNamara what the hell was he thinking?
Was it him, not the party boy Mets, doing all the drinking?
If he'd hit Baylor for Buckner and yanked the first baseman
for his by-the-book late inning defensive replacement,
that ball would have been snagged (if it'd ever been hit),
and Mookie's last name wouldn't now be "86".
Bob Stanley picked a pretty bad time to uncork a wild pitch,
and I'm sure he's still thinking that you could have blocked it, Rich.
Then the tying run might have not been tallied by Mitch.
If one play killed the Sox, can you please tell me which?
I guess everything happens for some sort of reason,
and there must be a tragic end to every long season.
But if even one man doesn't do one thing he does,
we'd all know Bill Buckner for just what he was:
a pretty tough out for the Dodgers, Red Sox and Cubs.
Ten thousand at bats and close to three thousand hits.
And he stole plenty of bases before his legs quit.
As tough to walk as he was to strike out –
but there's only one play that ever gets talked about.
Now some kind of fame lies in being a scapegoat.
And if not that, then you're just an historical footnote.
And your 22 years playing ball might be forgotten.
Maybe Bill Buckner was lucky his luck was so rotten.

Prep Roundup: Arrington, Vikings improve to 2-0
Northern Vance pitcher Nate Arrington threw his second consecutive complete-game two-hitter on Wednesday and the Vikings (2-0) defeated visiting Southern Vance 7-2.
Arrington fanned 15 Raider batters, following a 13-strikeout performance last week against Warren County to open the season. The senior right-hander gave up one unearned run to Southern, which scored both of its runs in the first inning.
Northern tied it up in the bottom half of the first before plating three runs in the third and two in the fifth.
Eric Lemmond (1-for-1) and Jabe Montgomery (1-for-4) each had a pair of RBIs for the Vikings.
"We're really struggling offensively," said Northern head coach Benji Nelson. "We're finding ways to get runs across though."
The game marked the earliest meeting in a season between Northern and Southern since 2009. The crosstown rivals, no longer in the same conference, meet again March 19 at Southern and the schools' softball teams meet today at Southern.
Northern's baseball team will try to get a jump on the rain in the forecast for Friday and get in a game against Granville Central at home today at 4 p.m.
Southern is scheduled to visit J.F. Webb on Friday.
Northern drops league opener
The Northern Vance tennis team opened conference play with an 8-1 loss at Cedar Ridge on Wednesday.
The Vikings (1-1, 0-1) host Warren County today at 4 p.m. and are scheduled to make up Monday's home match with J.F. Webb on Friday at 4 p.m.
No. 1 — CR's Zac Marion def. Dar Sedigh 6-0, 6-0.
No. 2 — CR's Erik Lutz def. Nathan Oakes 6-3, 6-2.
No. 3 — CR's Isaac lutz def. Blake Manning 6-0, 6-0.
No. 4 — CR's Peyton Pappas def. Barry Bobbitt 6-0, 6-0.
No. 5 — CR's Trevor Thares def. Chris Pendergrass 6-0, 6-1.
No. 6 — CR's Tyler Herbst def. Ray Cheever 6-0, 6-0.
No. 1 — NV's Sedigh and Oakes def. Henry Manderille and Ty Knight 8-2.
No. 2 — CR's Sam Michol and Ari Farber def. Manning and Pendergrass 8-6.
No. 3 — CR's Trevor Stephens and Stephen Jones def. Bobbitt and Cheever 8-4.
Eagles downed by Bunn, 6-3
Warren County's tennis team dropped a 6-3 decision Wednesday in its 2-A Northern Carolina Conference opener against Bunn.
Austin Bender and John Aguas picked up their first wins of the season for the Eagles and Mohammed Hussein played in his first.
Warren County visits Northern Vance today.
No. 1 — BUNN's Josh Kwiatowski def. Bryan Bender 6-3, 6-4.
No. 2 — WC's Austin Bender def. Jacob Stephens 6-3, 7-5.
No. 3 — WC's John Aguas def. Nolan Winstead 3-6, 7-6 (7-2), 10-3.
No. 4 — BUNN's Jake Moore def. Torre Caparatta 6-4, 6-1.
No. 5 — BUNN's Ryan Callahan def. Drew Fleming 6-2, 6-3.
No. 6 — BUNN's Kyle Champion def. Mohammed Hussein 6-1, 6-0.
No. 1 — BUNN's Kwiatowski and Stephens def. B. Bender and Aguas 8-3.
No. 2 — WC's A. Bender and Caparatta def. Winstead and Champion 5-2 (suspended, darkness).
No. 3 — BUNN's Callahan and Champion def. Fleming and Hussein 5-0 (suspended, darkness).
