Several ball players, who played in the old Coalfield Baseball League, relived many fond memories on Labor Day at a reunion held at the Williamson Fire Department.
Former major league ballplayer Danny Godby of Chapmanville was the featured speaker for the reunion. Godby, a former high school coach in Logan County, and current county commissioner, talked about some of his best memories of his pro career.
Godby was signed by the Cincinnati Reds after he graduated and played college baseball at Bowling Green, Ky. The Chapmanville native talked about the long bus rides in the minor league circuit, reminiscent of the movie "Bull Durham."
After reaching the Triple A level and going through spring training with the Big Red Machine, playing alongside players like Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and Tony Perez, Godby was traded to the Cardinals.
He met Stan Musial while in spring training with St. Louis. He said he talked to Musial about his days of playing for the Williamson Redbirds minor league team here in the Tug Valley. Musial played his first two years of pro ball in the old Coalfield rookie league.
After a late season call –up with St. Louis, in Godby's first official at bat with the Cardinals, he lined a single up the middle and eventually scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly in the 13th inning. That was one of his fondest memories.
Then he was traded to the Boston Red Sox, where he thought he might have a chance to break into the big leagues full-time. They sent him to their AAA club because they wanted to try out a couple of other rookies, Fred Lynn and Jim Rice. The other outfielder in the Boston lineup was another hall of famer Carl Yastrzemski.
During his career Godby rubbed elbows with many legends of baseball. Names like Satchel Paige, Tim McCarver and many others came up during his presentation.
Injuries finally caught up with Godby and after a final year in Charleston, W.Va. as a player coach, he retired.
About 25 former players attended the reunion. Several fans and family members were also present.
Ken Hatfield of Johnstown, Ohio drove down to attend the reunion. He is the cousin of former Coalfield league pitcher Jack Hatfield-Smith, who went on to play in the majors with the Dodgers and the Braves. He shared several entertaining stories from his youth watching the Matewan-Red Jacket area team.
Amos and Jena Murphy of Edgarton were also in attendance. It is believed that Murphy, 91-years old, is the oldest living player and manager. He coached and played for the teams in the Majestic-Freeburn area. His wife Jean was the scorekeeper for all of those years in the 1940s and 1950s. They were both presented with plaques for their achievements. Their sons also attended the reunion.
Jim Fairchild drove down from Clarksburg, W.Va. He played for the old team sponsored by the N & W Fuel Depot. Fairchild remembered playing with Rocky Marciano. Marciano, who went on to become the heavyweight boxing champion of the world, came to the Tug Valley area as a young man to play baseball. His first love was baseball, but obviously when that career didn't pan out, he changed sports.
Others who attended were Grant Borders and Bob Fannin who played on the Freeburn teams and Jim Whitt who played in the Red Jacket area. Bob Hatfield and Ireland Smith played for several teams. Willie Richmond of Beech Creek was an avid fan who attended and Charlie Burchett, a standout athlete of Kermit, also attended.
Tom Varney, who played for the Majestic and Blackberry teams with his brothers and father, organized the reunion. He served as master of ceremonies. Varney talked about the team from Blackberry that played in a tournament in Paintsville. Of course the Pike County team was unknown, but made their mark winning that tourney and then going on to the state tournament. They finished as state runner-up five years in a row, according to Varney. Many times they played against pitchers like Woody Fryman, who went on to play in the majors.
Many old newspaper articles and photos were displayed for people to enjoy.
Williamson Mayor Darrin McCormick gave the welcoming address. Civic leader Mae Stallard gave the opening prayer.
Other awards were presented during the event. Barbara Van Zant accepted the award for her late husband Jim Van Zant, who played, coached and covered baseball as sports editor for the Williamson Daily News for many years.
Those who helped with the event hope that it will become an annual reunion and that more will attend in future years.
Ireland Smith closed the ceremony with prayer. But before that, he capped it off by saying "We were the boys of summer."
Those who wanted were able to enjoy hot dogs, apple pie, chips, cookies, fudge and soft drinks. Sponsors for the event were Williamson Memorial Hospital, Pepsi of Logan, Guardco, the Hatfield-McCoy Trails System, Food City, McDonalds of South Williamson, WVKM radio and the Williamson Daily News.

Game Ball Relay to deliver Sept. 1 game ball to Sanford; Shepherd Center set as beneficiary
ATHENS -- In partnership with Relay of Heroes, LLC, the University of Georgia Athletic Association will execute the inaugural Game Ball Relay (GBR), a 24-hour, foot-powered relay, delivering a game ball from Atlanta to Sanford Stadium for kickoff of the UGA vs. Buffalo football game, on Saturday, September 1.
"The Game Ball Relay is a great opportunity for the Bulldog Nation to connect with and celebrate the excitement of a new season of Georgia football as well as contribute to a great cause in the Shepherd Center," said UGA Director of Athletics Greg McGarity.
Members of the UGA 1980 national championship team will launch the GBR from Atlanta's Shepherd Center at 10:00 a.m., on Friday, August 31. After carrying the ball through Shepherd Center, the relay will proceed onto the streets of Atlanta, passing landmarks such as Centennial Olympic Park, the CNN Center, and the State Capitol. After touring Atlanta on Friday, the GBR team and UGA Army ROTC Cadets will run the ball overnight, to Athens, engaging Georgia fans in Stone Mountain, Loganville, Snellville, and Monroe.
As the relay arrives on Saturday in Athens, the game ball will tour the streets of Athens and the UGA Campus. A pre-game tailgate will be held at the Butts-Mehre Athletic Complex, where a final fan-led escort, the Red Zone March, will begin at 11:00 a.m. Dedicated members of the Bulldog Nation will march from Butts-Mehre to Sanford Stadium, where the game ball will arrive for 50-yard line delivery at approximately 12:20 p.m., escorted by a UGA Letterman as the premier presenter.
Relay of Heroes, LLC is responsible for planning and executing the GBR. In accordance with its mission, Relay of Heroes has chosen Shepherd Center as this year's direct beneficiary. To display the power of Georgia Football, UGA and Relay of Heroes are asking dedicated Georgia fans to join the relay as Red Zone Warriors, the fans who will escort the game ball on the Red Zone March, from the Butts-Mehre Athletic Complex to Sanford Stadium.
With a limit of 500 Red Zone Warriors in the relay's inaugural year, Georgia fans can sign-up now. To become a Red Zone Warrior, members of the Bulldog Nation can donate $100 to the Game Ball Relay fund at the Shepherd Center Foundation, reserving one slot per $100 donation. Donations can be made online, via the "Donate Now" button on the Game Ball Relay's homepage, www.georgiadogs.com/gameballrelay or donors can mail checks to Relay of Heroes, 220 College Avenue, Suite 319, Athens, GA 30601. Checks should be made payable to "Shepherd Center Foundation;" donors should indicate "Game Ball Relay" and t-shirt size(s) in the memo line.
UGA letterman and Terry College of Business graduate Wes Van Dyk created the idea of the GBR.
"I was able to see first-hand the impact that these organizations have on so many lives, including my own," said Van Dyk, motivated by an interest to give back to Georgia football and recognize the efforts of Shepherd Center. "Two of my friends and fellow UGA athletes, Chance (Veazey) and JT (Johnathan Taylor), were both treated at Shepherd. I feel very fortunate for the opportunity to give back a small portion of what I have been blessed with during my years at UGA, by celebrating with the Game Ball Relay."
Relay of Heroes, LLC is an Athens-based marketing firm whose mission is to create, plan, and execute experiential marketing events that serve as a catalyst for non-profit fundraising. In the summer of 2011, Relay of Heroes worked with Kangaroo Express to launch the convenience store chain's Salute Our Troops campaign which raised more than $2.5 million in direct benefit of the USO, the largest contribution of its kind, to the Organization. More recently, in May 2012, Relay of Heroes helped Carry the Load, a non-profit founded by a group of former Navy SEALs, raise more than $500,000 with its inaugural 1,700 mile foot relay from West Point, NY to Dallas, TX.
Shepherd Center, located in Atlanta, GA, is a private, not-for-profit hospital specializing in medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for people with spinal cord or brain injury. Founded in 1975, Shepherd Center is ranked by U.S. News & World Report among the top 10 rehabilitation hospitals in the nation and is a 152-bed facility. Last year Shepherd Center had 965 admissions to its inpatient programs and 571 to its day patient programs. In addition, Shepherd Center sees more than 6,600 people annually, on an outpatient basis.

Full detailed profile on Dr. Matt Hunter Played by Jason Cook on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Jason Cook (Jill Johnson/JPI)
Birthday: September 13 1980
In the PCPD interrogation room, Matt signs the confession. Alexis gives him his cell phone and tells him to get his affairs in order. She will try to get him released, and leaves. Matt calls Patrick who comes right away. Matt tells Patrick he can't take the guilt, no matter how evil Lisa was. They hug and don't want to lose each other. Alexis comes in to tell him his fate.
Heather visits Dante at the station and asks to see Luke. She wonders how they could arrest him without a dead body. Dante wonders how she knows so much. Matt arrives and wants to talk to Dante. Heather tells him to wait his turn but it can't wait. Dante urges Heather to go home since Luke can't see her anyway. She leaves and Matt tells Dante that he is turning himself in for Lisa's murder. Maxie shows up and begs him to put the ring on, leave with her and live his life. She is not going to change his mind though, and he tells Dante he is ready to give a statement.
Matt and Maxie are in their hotel room, ready to celebrate their wedding night. He wishes Maxie could plan her own wedding and regrets he has denied her that. She feels the wedding is not as important as the person you marry. While Matt answers the door to room service, she remembers Spinelli's hope for her to have a real wedding someday, to someone who really loves her. She snaps out of it as Matt wheels in the room service. He pops the champagne and has a flashback to the party boat. Then he remembers it all. He thought it was self defense, but now he knows that is not the case. He takes a shower because he feels dirty. They get into bed and he just wants to sleep. They wish each other a happy wedding night and Maxie rolls over and cries.
In the courtroom the DA orders Maxie to testify against Matt, but she informs him that a wife does not have to testify. She shows off her ring and Patrick and Spinelli are shocked. Maxie expects all charges against Matt to be dropped and the DA agrees that since Maxie signed the agreement as a single woman, now as his wife she can't be compelled to testify. Plus, her release stands. Mac tells them they will have to stay married forever in order to prevent her from ever having to testify. She asks Mac and Felicia to be happy for her. Spinelli tries to remind her about her previous problems with Matt. He wants to marry her instead and give her a big wedding she deserves. He pleads with Mac and Felicia to change her mind, but they know they can't. Mac tells Felicia Matt is not good enough for Maxie. She invites him out for a drink like old times. Maxie and Matt leave while Spinelli holds back tears.
Matt shows up at the hospital and tells Liz and Patrick about his role in Lisa's murder. They are shocked and both want to go with him to the courthouse. Matt wants Patrick to focus on his life, but he assures him he would not want to be anywhere else. Liz stays behind and her phone rings. It is Jason and he needs her help.
At the courthouse Felicia is furious about Mac's firing, but he wants them to focus on getting Maxie out of jail. Matt and Patrick arrive and Matt tells them he had no idea he did anything. Mac is upset at Matt for letting Maxie take the rap but Patrick says he can't confess to a crime he doesn't remember. Maxie arrives in the courthouse and hugs Patrick. She tells him she does not want him to lose his brother. The DA tries to strong arm her into testifying against Matt before she is released. Her lawyer Rosalind Kwan arrives and says Maxie will not testify until after she is released. Her sentence is dropped and Maxie is free to go but must return to testify in 30 minutes. Maxie wants to spend those 30 minutes alone with him and they leave. Felicia thanks Spinelli and tells him eventually Maxie will learn that she needs him. Outside the courtroom Maxie asks Matt if he trusts her. He does and they run off. Mac and Anna run into each other and he shares the good news about her release. Anna tells Mac she was offered his job, but turned it down. He encourages her to take it, then they go back inside. Anna tells Patrick she is not going anywhere if he needs anything. Cutting it close, Maxie comes in and tells them she will not testify after all. A wife does not have to testify against her husband, and, flashing a ring, tells everyone they are now married.
Spinelli grabs Matt at Shawn's and asks him what he is going to do about Maxie. Without his confession, Maxie will remain in jail. Matt is amazed by Maxie's resolve and Spinelli wants him to convince her to sign. Matt knows she will never testify against him, but he agrees to try. Spinelli leaves and runs into Sonny outside. He shares his pain that the women they love are behind bars.
Felicia visits Maxie in jail and lets her know that if she doesn't take the deal there may not be another one. Maxie is not going to sign the form. She thinks Spinelli ratted her out but Felicia tells her he tried to do everything to avoid implicating Matt. Felicia knows what it feels like to make a bargain with God, because she would sit in jail for 20 years to bring back her girls, but you just can't do that. Two inmates bribe the guard after Felicia leaves and pin down Maxie for a "makeover," complete with an eyeliner tattoo. Later Maxie is looking over the contract when Matt shows up. He wants her to sign it and she tells him she just did.
At the hospital Matt is thinking about Maxie's confession when Elizabeth asks him if he is okay. He tells her Maxie was protecting someone and may be released. She asks who when Patrick walks up after Keenan's surgery. He tells him it went well and he should be fine. Matt wants to know what happened to Patrick. He realized his depression would not bring Robin back. He then asks about Maxie and Matt tells him about the new developments. Patrick is happy for them and sorry he has not been more supportive. Later, Liz asks Matt if they know who the real killer is, but he tells her they don't. Patrick comes out and tells Liz that Ewan is asking for her and she leaves. Patrick lets Matt know he feels hopeful for the first time since Robin died.
Maxie tells Matt in her cell that he killed Lisa. She tells him he was too drunk to remember but when she got to the boat she saw Matt kill Lisa and wander off. She went looking for Matt and found the captain dead. She knew it was only a matter of time before he remembered or was found out, so she went to Anthony. She tells Matt they are in it together, right up to their necks. Matt refuses to let her rot away and has to come forward and confess. He is paged to the hospital. He tells her he does not deserve her and won't promise not to got to the police. He leaves and Spinelli arrives.

Born 4 February, 1952, Wattenham Cross, London
Schooldays"If it's of any interest, Jerry and I were great school mates in the sixties. He was a great drummer, even as a young kid, and had his first drum kit set up in the public bar of the Three Tuns in Hereford. It was obvious from those early days music was going to be everything to him. We lost touch in the mid-sixties and not met since."....EddieActually, he was playing in a Band called The Valkyrie by the time he was 11. (Jerry called it underground...I guess a few years before underground was invented, and before Robert Plant cornered the market in Nordic wails)
After that it was Little People, who were (guess what with that name?) full blown Small Faces copyists. Steve Marriott saw him play, and was impressed. Marriott adopted him as a kind of child protege, and asked him to stand in any time Kenney Jones was unwell.
InfluencesJerry's dad was a drummer in a swing band, and he grew up listening to the the old swing drummers like Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich and Sonny Payne from Count Basie's Orchestra. Then when rock n roll started kickin in big time, he was a huge fan of Keith Moon, Mitch Mitchell and Charlie Watts. His biggest American influence was Al Jackson from Booker T and the MG's.
Jerry CollectableJerry's band was named by Andrew Oldham as Apostolic Intervention and were soon releasing a single on Oldham's Immediate label. The single came as catalogue number IM043 : Have you ever seen me, b/w Madame Garcia. Some say it's not the Apostolic Intervention, it's the Small Faces. Probably a combination of both, by my reckoning.
Ingredients of the Pie
When Steve Marriott was helping Peter Frampton shed his "Herd" teenybop problems by helping him put together a new group, his mind immediately turned to self confessed Small Faces fanatic, little Jerry Shirley, who was still only seventeen at the time. Jerry had gone on to form the band Little Women, but not before jamming with Frampton as the basics of new band . Then on what would be a moste fateful New Year's Eve for Jerry, Steve Marriott rang to say that he had agreed with Frampton to join the new band, and that he was bringing one of the scene's very top musicians with him - Greg Ridley from SpookyTooth. Jerry was delighted that Steve would be joining, but especially thrilled about Greg. The two went on to be one of the tightest live rhythm sections in the world.
Only a RoachFamously, Jerry wrote the music to "Fool for a Pretty Face" to which Steve Marriott added the lyrics. He wrote music for four other tracks on "On to Vistory". Jerry's singing on Humble Pie's "Only a Roach" wasn't to be the start of a big vocalist career for him. He is a multi-instumentalist, playing piano, guitar and wurlitzer piano as well as a whole host of percussion intruments including percussion saw!Steve Marriott (1969), "Jerry plays nice piano."Jerry Shirley (1969), "Steve plays nice drums."When Jerry left Humble Pie in 1975, he was just 23 years old, having packed more into those short years than most people do in a lifetime. But his headlining days were almost over. He formed Natural Gas with ex Badfinger and Colosseum members. They released one album, before mutating into Magnet, and releasing the Worldwide Attraction album in 1979.He was then a driving force behind the reformation of Humble Pie in late 1979, bringing in Magnet bass player "Sooty" Jones, when Greg Ridley was unavailable.After the Humble Pie reformation in 1981, Jerry formed Fastway with Eddie Clarke of Motorhead. Fastway went on to release two albums in 1983 and 1984. Following that Jerry teamed up again with Steve Marriott in Packet of Three, and then toured with Badfinger in the late 1980's.Jerry on the death of Steve Marriott (April, 1991)"We lost, in my view, one the the truly greatest white blues singers in the entire world, way better than almost all of them out there. You ask the real top notch singers and they'll tell you. We lost one of the absolute best songwriters we ever had. We lost a much better guitar player than anybody gave him credit for, in particular a rhythm player. We lost a fabulous piano player. We lost one of the naturally most witty people I've ever known. As far as live performing, in terms of working a stage, working an audience, he helped invent a lot of what is taken for granted in rock and roll performance today."
CreditsOver the years, Jerry has worked with a whole range of people, including David Gilmour, Alexis Korner, Billy Nicholl, Syd Barrett, John Entwhistle, Sammy Hagar and Benny Mardones. Nowadays, Jerry owns the Humble Pie name, and has done so for many years. He gigged throughout the nineties with a version of Humble Pie, based around ex-Ted Nugent band singer Charlie Huhn. While never comparing in any way to the original band, they were a tight outfit, while playing the Humble Pie back catalogue with aplomb.Also in the mid-90's, Jerry turned to broadcasting when he accepted a job as a radio show host in Cleveland, Ohio. He also owned a carpentry business until a fateful day in August, 1999 when he was seriously injured in an auto accident. Upon recovering, Jerry moved back to London for a happy reunion with his wife and children. In 2000, Jerry reformed Humble Pie as a touring band in the UK and Europe with Greg Ridley, Bobby Tench, Dave "Bucket" Colwell and Zoot Money. The group left behind an excellent legacy with the Back on Track CD, released in February 2002.

Our 1st book is out now • Find out more & order a copy »
So, my friend got a hankering to make some swans and when I went to look for a tutorial, there were none on this site. They're really easy and fun so get your paper out!
You need a square piece of paper. It can have a pattern on it or not. Hey, you can even use Stickie notes!
You need to fold your paper in half diagonally.
Then you need to take the corners and flod it so it's up against the middle crease.
Flip the paper over and fold the corners into the crease again.
Take the thinner part of the paper and fold it back.
Take the way-thinner part of the piece you just folded and fold that to make a beak. Now you are done. These make great massege senders or just little things to make when you have nothing else to do at school. These things can get pretty darned small. I can make one about a centimeter big.

Complete and submit.
Acquaint yourself with the basic eligibility guidelines for study abroad and in the Barnard catalogue online.
Attend one of the Study Abroad General Information Sessions, which can be found on our Study Abroad Calendar.
Follow the Barnard Abroad Blog www.barnardstudyabroad.blogspot.com
Meet with your academic adviser to discuss the relationship between study abroad and your major studies.
Research our list of approved programs on-line and in the Office of International Programs library; look over student evaluations of programs; then set up an individual appointment to speak with Dean Young.
Students should keep in mind that there might be ways in which their social identities, faith-based practices, and personal needs may affect their experience. For example, it may not be possible to change an exam date that conflicts with the student's religious practice. Another example is that it may be difficult if not impossible to maintain food requirements or preferences at the abroad site. Therefore students are encouraged to explore early on whether or not their needs can be accommodated at the host site.
If you have a disability (mobility, visual or hearing impairment; LD/ADD; chronic illness; psychiatric disability; etc.)--please be in touch with the Barnard Office of Disability Services (ODS) and review the access brochure, Study Abroad and Disability (PDF).

Science Saturday: Extinction Is Forever: Or Is It?
John A. Gerwin, Research Curator of Ornithology
2014 is the 100th anniversary of the death of the last Passenger Pigeon. Gerwin will discuss this and other extinction events of various animals from the Southeast. He will also describe a project proposed to bring back the Passenger Pigeon.
This talk will feature:
- A specimen table.
- A "Fold the Flock" origami station.
- A Book Sale - "The Lost Bird Project." A limited number of signed copies will be available.
11am: John Gerwin will give a talk about Passenger Pigeons.
1pm: Free screening of "The Lost Bird Project" film.
About the Film
Gone and nearly forgotten in extinction, the Labrador Duck, the Great Auk, the Heath Hen, the Carolina Parakeet, and the Passenger Pigeon leave holes not just in the North American landscape but in our collective memories. Moved by their stories, sculptor Todd McGrain set out to create memorials to the lost birds
The Lost Bird Project is a film about public art, extinction and memory. It is an elegy to five extinct North American birds and a thoughtful, moving, sometimes humorous look at the artist and his mission.
Science Saturdays is a series of lectures and demonstrations that are held on the first Saturday of each month in the SECU Daily Planet Theater at 11 am. The presentations mainly target middle- and high-school students, but everyone is welcome to attend.
Science Saturdays are held in partnership with the NC State University Biomedical Engineering Department and are funded through NC Space Grant.

Prudence Punderson (1758-1784) was born in Preston, CT, the eldest of eight children. Her needlework, done before her marriage,
is titled "The First, Second and Last Scenes of Mortality," and represents three stages of life: infancy, womanhood, and death. The
scene features a rare representation of the furnishings of a well-appointed, early Connecticut drawing room, and an even rarer depiction
of an African American "servant" as an integral member of the domestic scene. The slave, who attends the infant, may have been the
"wench Jenny" who was included as property in Prudence's father's will. It is likely that this embroidery was done while Prudence and
her family were in exile on Long Island, due to her father's Loyalist sympathies during the Revolutionary War.

Gender, Property, and Memory in the Decorative
American Furniture 1995)

This article critically examines a qualitative research interview in which cultural barriers between a white non-Muslim female interviewer and an African American Muslim interviewee, both from the USA, became evident and were overcome within the same interview. This interview and two follow-up interviews are presented as a 'telling case' about crossing cultural barriers. The analysis focuses on seven phases of the interview (cultural barriers, warming up, crossing the racial barrier, connecting as social workers, connecting as women, connecting as students, and crossing the tape recorder barrier). The discussion outlines the pre-interview and during-interview barriers and facilitating conditions and related implications for cross-cultural qualitative research interviewing.

Ido Sushi is one of the best in the City. We loved the great food, casual environment and incredibly friendly staff. If you enjoy sushi, you need to check this place out!
Posted by CHINGU on 11/30/2006
I eat in restaurants often..mostly 3 star and above rated don't missers...i took a friends advice and went to the low 7th ave. location...I was greeted so friendly and immediately shown to a table. I love the decor. so eye appealing...after just reading some poor reviews on fish and on price i was compelled to set them straight. i ate food equivilent to that of the few greats of the city..Tora is now one of them. I ordered mostly sashimi at first..what better way to judge a restaurant..i was blown away when the toro(bluefin) came in front of me...so deeply richly red..at first i was a little curious..very red sometimes(in other places) means too much blood in it. it can taste of bit pungeont. this fish was so buttery and smooth..i was so excited with the first feel of it over my lips that i almost swallowed it. talk about value...i asked for 2 pieces and received four..when I asked if they mis heard me they said no...that's what we serve for 2 pieces...it's actually four..other restaurants cut them so big and incorrect..we cut them how they should but want our guests to have the same portions as our competitors..nice!! much better cut the right way!! so after being just as happy with my salmon,tuna,young yellowtail and white tuna..i asked the chef Tora to reccomend a roll...He made me a roll that i dream about..i can't remember the name but it had shrimp tempora and crab inside with lettuce..on top was this creamy spicy concoction the consisted of tuna and yellowtail..don't know how it could taste so so so so good...my friend and i was also so surprised by the wide selection of cold premium sake that they offer..Tora and Jane..you obviously love what you do and you both and all staff do it so well..To talk about price..for the 2 of us yes it was alot..almost 200 dollars...It would of been 4 if we ate Nobu or Masa like the king and queen that we did..200 dollars for a 5 star meal...bargain...though, from what i saw of the menu...the prices of all the items were far

I went to lunch there today because I was craving sushi. The food was spectacular. I started with the mango and avacado salad and then I had to have the Big O roll after reading the reviews. Best lunch I've had in a long time. Super fresh fish. Slightly expensive, but I'm worth it !
Posted by SSH on 09/22/2006
This has to be the best sushi I have ever had. Granted, I have never been to Japan, but this far outweighs any of the "good" sushi places I have been to in the past (NY/NJ/Boston). I had the Big O roll as recommended on here - very yummy. I also ordered a special for the day - the Two Tune Tuna Roll - absolutely scrumptious, bar none. The spicy crab salad was delish as well. I am sure I will never have sushi like that again unless I make lots of excuses to visit my friends who live nearby. The service was impeccable. The place is small, but we went on a Saturday night and it was not crowded, which was surprising. Everyone must have been at the trendy place up the street, which, according to my local crew, was not nearly as good as Ido. I highly recommend checking this place out (and don't forget the plum wine)! Prices were similar to the place I order from on the Island but the food was far superior.

This place is amazing.Never knew i liked sushi till my friend Cheryl took us here.Staff treated us like ambassadors and let me try so many different dishes! My fav was Big O and fried Oysters!What a great little place to take a date and have great food! Going back again and again.Only place she will get sushi and we are from NJ no less! 5 Stars!!!
Posted by Erek on 06/01/2006
I was introduced to Ido Sushi by a friend of mine that lived in the neighborhood within the first couple months of their opening. I have been going there regularly ever since. Tora is amazing, he always remembers what I like and always has something new and interesting to try. The service is great and it has a friendly warm atmosphere that most New York restaurants are lacking. Of course the sushi is excellent. Normally you cannot get sushi this good for the price they are offering it.
Posted by Eileen on 05/24/2006
I followed them from Staten Island and would follow them to the ends of the earth! Ido is my favorite restaurant. The food is fresh, the staff is wonderful and the Big "O" roll makes me want to cry! You cannot go wrong with Ido.

Letter: One more time
Katie Ellard, Naples
One more time
Thank you for the editorial endorsing the value of the red-light cameras and asking the Collier County commissioners to reconsider their decision to remove them.
While driving through the busy intersection of Vanderbilt Beach Road and U.S. 41 three and four times a week during the 4 to 5 p.m. hours, this is what I have observed:
Pre-cameras: three and sometimes four cars speeding through the red light, tailgating the red-light runner in front of them!
Post-cameras and after getting the word about the costly fines: complete stops!
Why change a winning game? The system is already in place, the county is making money and busy intersections are much safer for all. In fact, I've noticed much less red-light running at intersections without cameras since the cameras were installed at certain intersections.
Please contact our county commissioners and ask them to reconsider. Request that they listen to our own sheriff who has stated that the number of accidents has lessened since the cameras were installed.

News10NBC has received an update from the Victor Schools and Ontario County Public Health Department on the widespread gastrointestinal illnesses experienced by students earlier this month.
After an investigation, The Ontario County Public Health Department and the New York State Department of Health have ruled that the illnesses appeared to be norovirus. The school cafeteria was inspected and there was no food item identified as the source of the illness.
Norovirus has similar symptoms as food poisoning. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Norovirus is easily spread through community settings and sometimes causes large outbreaks.
School physicians suggest if you notice your child is getting sick, do not send them to school. They suggest you contact your child's doctor and to notify the school nurse.
For questions or concerns, you can call Ontario County Public Health at 585-396-4343.
For more information on norovirus, go to www.cdc.gov.

Christel (Silly Girl Running) and I had a Facebook conversation after she posted a comment regarding running for cupcakes. It was a comical conversation that has led to this announcement. For about 1 month now Christel and I have been working on creating a virtual race that fits into the training season for Spring Marathons. We wanted to create a race that would incorporate runners and walkers, marathoners and half-marathoners. In other words an all-inclusive race focused on getting people moving in 2011.
All of these conversations wound up with us creating the first Cupcake Marathon. The rules will be simple and laid out in a bit but know that whether you finish in 2 hours and 50 minutes or 6 hours that you have a chance to win prizes from some of our sponsors. We are still working with some sponsors to finalize details and will keep adding as we move along which only means that there are more chances for you to win some fabulous prizes.
Now you are asking yourself where do the cupcakes come in. I am hear to tell you that if you enter the race you will be sent three recipes for cupcakes from a cookbook that I have purchased and actually made all three recipes so I know how good they taste. We are still trying to find a cupcake sponsor to actually send you cupcakes if you win, but in the event that we don't find one and you don't win you will still be running for cupcakes.
To date our sponsors include cases of HoneyMilk (US Only), 3 Bondi Bands, a Road ID, a GU Sampler Pack and a Hydrapack Gel Bot for those participating in the United States and Canada. The European winners will be able to win coupons for cupcakes, 3 Sweaty Bands and Silly Girl Running fridge magnets. That is a lot of prizes to be handed out and we will continue to add more prizes as we work with various sponsors.
Since this post went live we have been able to land a cupcake sponsor. What does that mean to you? It means that if you win via random.org you will actually have cupcakes shipped to your house (in the US only.) Who was kind enough to become the cupcake sponsor…..Sugared Bakery is who.
Who is Sugared Bakery you are asking. Well it is a small bakery run by Elisabeth and she started her own company after reading a blog post about owning your dreams (sound familiar?) She has been up and running for a couple of months now and is the official Cupcake Break sponsor of Fitbloggin 2011.
Elisabeth was kind enough to donate the following:
- 2 doz to the winner of the Marathon distance
- 1 doz to the winner of the Half-Marathon distance
- 1 doz Glitter Puff Cookies to the Marathon distance
- 1 doz Glitter Puff Cookies to the Half-Marathon distance
Remember that Random.org will choose the winners so you don't have to worry about speed here.
Want to know your choice of flavors:
1) Vanilla cupcake with vanilla/chocolate buttercream
2) Chocolate cupcake with chocolate/vanilla buttercream
3) Marble cupcake with chocolate/vanilla buttercream
***these 3 flavors can also be filled with an array of flavors (peanut butter, Nutella, dulce de leche, etc.)–if desired, the winner can tell me their filling of choice, and I'll make it happen.
4) Orange cupcake with orange cream filling & icing, with an orange fruit slice on top
5) Chocolate cupcake with raspberry filling, whipped chocolate buttercream
6) Chocolate cupcake with strawberry filling, peanut butter buttercream
7) Red velvet cupcake with cream cheese buttercream
8) Chocolate cupcake filled with caramel, with dulce de leche frosting, and crushed toffee & cocao nibs on top
And for me the best part is you can order these VEGAN or standard. Check out Sugared Bakery on Facebook and 'LIKE' them.
Can't wait to see if you are a winner in the Cupcake Marathon well no need to worry. Sugared Bakery has kindly offered a $5 off coupon for their cupcakes using the code CTER5OFF. Just go to their Facebook page order form place your order and then in the checkout process put in the CTER5OFF coupon code.
So now you want to know the rules and here they are:
Event Dates: March 14th through March 26th (you do not have to complete the mileage on ONE run but over the course of the two weeks)
Event Distances: 1/2 Marathon (13.1 miles) and Marathon (26.2 miles)…..you will need to select a distance when you submit your registration
Registration: Submit your name, distance, and location through the Contact Me form.
Proof of participation: We will require pictures of your Garmin, Polar, Nike+, Treadmill, etc showing the miles and the time. We will also require that you submit a spreadsheet calculating your times (you will be emailed the spreadsheet after you submit your entry form)
Prize Determination: Will be based on random.org. You cannot win more than one item. Read post to determine what you are eligible for.
Pictures: We will require you to submit a photo with your bib that you can print by clicking on the picture below.
This is meant to be a fun way to get you active and moving in time for the spring racing season. Depending on the success of this event there will be another Cupcake Marathon in the Fall.
Happy racing and if you have any questions please use the Contact Me form to submit your questions.
It's Like A Marathon But With A Cherry On Top

|Grainger, Hilary J.
'Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.' These words, spoken at war memorials across the United Kingdom and around the world on 11 November every year, encapsulate how we commemorate our war dead. Lest We Forget looks at how we remember not only those who died in battle, but also those whose memory is important to us in other ways. This wide-ranging review considers such topics as Holocaust Memorial Day, the Hillsborough Disaster, memories of the Spanish Civil War, the genocide in Rwanda, Diana, Princess of Wales and the role of the Cenotaph and the National Memorial Arboretum. With an endorsement from The Royal British Legion, which celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2011, this is a timely study, and is relevant not only to people in the United Kingdom, but recognises the universal need to remember.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Cynthia Russell
"This is a very hearty dish, ideal for a winter dinner. Serve with just the potatoes, or add your favorite veggies: they will taste great with the dried mushroom sauce!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 ounce
dried porcini mushrooms
1 cup
hot water
2 tablespoons
6 tablespoons
olive oil, divided
1 small
red onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon
finely minced garlic
1 cube
beef bouillon
salt and black pepper to taste
1/2 cup
heavy cream
2 pounds
new potatoes
2 pounds
beef tenderloin medallions
1/2 teaspoon
crushed dried thyme
I made this dish for Christmas Eve last year. The flavor was spectacular, but I will include some type of thickening agent next time as the sauce is on the thin side.
I guess I was expecting more from this dish. My husband and I are constantly trying to out do each other in the kitchen and this just didn't cut the 5 star quality that I was looking for.
28 Ratings
An excellent dish! It proved convenient as well for dinner with friends. I made it in the morning till the point before you put it in the oven. I kept it in the fridge and then, while we were having a drink with appetizers at dinner, I put it in the oven for 20 minutes! If you like your meat well done though, you should leave it longer, maybe 30. The porcinis are delicious and the sauce didn't come out thin at all and I used light cream, not the thick kind. However, next time I think I will omit the stock cube as it takes away the totally 'home made' feel from the dish.
Thanks for a great recipe!
This was good. We used an obscene amount of garlic (that's how things are done in my house) and also alot of pepper. I also went overboard with the mushrooms, which may have given it a stronger flavor than it needed. The sauce did thin out a bit once it was in the oven with the tenderloins-I'm positive it will thicken with the leftovers. My picky seven year old who doesn't even like steak devoured it- and my husband loved it.We'll be making it again.
It took a bite of work but it was one of the best beef dishes we have ever made.
After reading several expert reviews, I used 3/4 oz. dried porcini mushrooms in 2/3 cup water, thickened sauce with roux, omitted cube, vidalia onion, and a splash of cabernet. Had 1 1/2 " medallions seared in pan and finished in oven without sauce on them uncovered for 15 minutes for medium rare. Served with sauce and garlic mashed potatoes. Absolutely delicious!!!!
I substitued fresh chanterelle mushrooms and the flavor was incredible. Also, I used Elk tenderloin, which, in my opinion, is far superior to beef.
Very good. I found 15 minutes was not quite long enough in the oven and my meat was stil quite raw. I went 20 minutes but unless you like your beef still bleeding, I'd go as long as 30minutes for a rare to med-rare piece of beef, depending on how thick your medallions are (mine were about 1 1/2 inches). Thanks for sharing.

Ellen McGehee
Ellen McGehee '04
Enchanted by the music of the mountains.
Quito, Ecuador, fills a narrow valley between volcanic mountain chains. The city is crazy, a place where a screeching, smelly city bus doesn't slow for an old woman dressed in wrinkled stockings and a pleated skirt. While trying to orient herself in the Latin American milieu, Willamette graduate Ellen McGehee accidentally purchases ice cream instead of toothpaste and wanders the city in confusion, mumbling Spanish that locals cannot discern. She weaves through crowds, searching for an old blind street musician named Esteben, and is assaulted by wannabe trekking guides. At nighttime, she gazes out of her tent. "The Milky Way," she says, "bathes the sky in white as phantom lightening flashes hang static on all horizons."
The 2004 physics graduate is making the most of her Watson Fellowship, a $22,000 grant for independent study and travel outside the United States. She is following her passion, music, with a particular variety of music in mind. A talented violinist and outdoors enthusiast, McGehee is learning the music of mountain peoples, from the Andes to the Himalayas to China's Liang Shan and Tien Shan ranges. In August 2004, her adventure began.
"One of the ideas behind the project was to investigate the manifestation of the mountains' influence on a people's music," McGehee says. "Naturally, this means that the mountains have to have some significant influence on the people's lives."
The South American Explorers' Club, a nonprofit organization that connects researchers with volunteer opportunities, helped McGehee find her way through Quito's smog and make contact with other travelers. She encountered an Argentinian hippie couple who performed music therapy on the ill. She toured gold-covered churches and met the son of Ecuadorian painter Oswaldo Guayasamin, who invited her to stay at his pre-Columbian- inspired mansion and explore his library of books on indigenous cultures.
From Quito, McGehee headed for the mountains north of Peguche, where musicians taught her melodies on the violin. A man named Fausto, the type of guy who forgets to eat when he's practicing or listening to music, invited McGehee to play violin with him and his family at the year's final Inti Raymi fiesta in the nearby town of Cayambe. It is the biggest party of the year. Inti means "sun" in Quechua, the language of the region; the fiestas celebrate the solstice in June, which also coincides with a great harvest. The entire town fills the streets, along with people from neighboring areas who reside on llama farms. Dark-eyed inquisitive mestizos and other indigenous people wear full traditional dress. Everyone under 90 years old is drunk from the chica (corn wine).
"All the people are screaming, eating or selling food," McGehee says. "Fausto's family and I ran around with instruments, tramping in circles and playing traditional Cayambe tunes, which I learned to play by ear in the din of the fiestas."
When the fiestas ended, McGehee traveled back to Quito and then to Salasaca, where she visited the home Alonso Pilla, the main informant to Willamette anthropology Professor Peter Wogan. "It turned out to be wonderful advice on Professor Wogan's part, because Alonso immediately became really excited to hear I was "Pedro's" (Peter's) student. He opened up his home and his life in a way I've seen few people do."
But in Ecuador, at the base of the Andes, agave (cactus) and maiz (corn) are planted in patches quilting the mountainsides. The wide valleys have been farmed for so many centuries that no one remembers the native trees. The air is thin, and the chilly nights bring a silvery wash of stars. But something is missing.
"I was looking for a place where you can never forget that you are in the mountains," McGehee says. "I wanted to find a certain dramatic landscape of narrow valleys overshadowed by peaks, rushing icy streams and fickle weather - I'm sure this is purely a personal definition, but much of the Andes doesn't fit it."
Even though volcanic horizons marked the lives of Ecuadorians, McGehee didn't see these mountain peaks dominate the lives of those who lived at their feet. One could easily forget, beneath mostly cloudy skies, one's home was cradled by the Andes.
McGehee floated down the Amazon River from Ecuador to Peru with an eclectic group of friends. She observed jungle life to be very peaceful for the people of the Amazon rainforest, who, she says, "eat what they catch and watch the rain drip off the roof's lush leaves. The lessons from the jungle seem to be patience, slow down and learn the rhythms of a place."
The jungle appeared to breed magic. Blue cloudscapes blended with the even deeper hues of the sky. The air was a cool steam, thick and filling. "It looks like someone in a Dr. Suess book went overboard tinseling a Christmas tree," McGehee says. It's as if someone stringed tinsel until it became "an unrecognizable tangle of green macramé that whistles an off-key song about how alive it is."
What McGehee was looking for - a place where the mountains had an obvious and constant effect on the communities within them - she found in Huaraz, Peru. The weather, the sunlight, the growing season and the temperature all influenced the local culture - and the culture, in turn, was expressed through the people's music.
In Huaraz, brilliant white glaciers hung between spires of white rock. Clouds formed a veil over Huascaran's Summit. Some towns were but spots in the shadows of magnificent peaks, receiving little sunshine. "The landscape was simply enchanting," McGehee says. "And there was so much music in these mountains!"
McGehee spent her days chasing fiestas, dance competitions, old flute players and street musicians. And, when life in Latin America lulled, she went hiking or practiced quena, the traditional flute of the Andes. She met Alex, a pensive, self-tortured painter who could not pay enough attention to life to find any joy in it; Chris, the English juggler who never went home; and a collection of other wacky travelers and locals all drawn together by some kind of magnetism Huaraz holds.
The Indian women of Huaraz did business in mismatched, neon-colored skirts, leggings and blouses. Their outfits were finished off with crooked, colonial-period hats. They chattered in Quechua, a musical language peppered with little bursts of laughter. Amid this scene, McGehee reflected upon all the music she could not record her first three months in South America, of walking alone through the high valleys of the Cordilla Blanca, and of freezing nights when her teeth chattered like "dancing typewriters."
Before she returns home to the United States in August 2005, McGehee says she will stop in Costa Rica, soak her feet in its midnight-black Caribbean sands, sip its fresh guanabana juice and dream in a hammock on one of its beaches. The warm ocean, rice and beans in coconut milk, and reggae music will become memories as she travels to other corners of the world - to China and beyond. And the liquid magic of the rainforest will forever temper her musical sensibilities, no matter where she finds or creates new melodies.

Greetings friends! I'll be travelling for the next few weeks, so blog updates will be sporadic and unpredictable, depending on the usual factors like wifi availability and having interesting things to share. In the meantime, I've roped in a few friends (and my Mom!) to contribute guest posts about their travel adventures – near and far.
Stay tuned for postcards from South Africa. If you're on Twitter, I'll be updating Twitter when I can, you can find me at @bitesizedtravel or @krisp131 (my personal one, where I talk about food a lot more). Stay safe and I'll see you soon!

I know this is different, and right now Vick is arguably the best QB in the game. Still, you have to believe Philadelphia would approach this in a prudent manner, taking into account Vick's injury history, style of play, and past transgressions, and offer him a 3-4 yr incentive laden deal. Then Al Davis or Snyder swoops in and offers 50 mil guaranteed.....
And you can't forget that they have Kolb as a fall back option. If Vick doesn't accept the deal they want to offer him and he walks, the cupboard isn't exactly bear at that position.

Eero Saarinen in the Big Apple
Categories: Arts
While St. Louisan like to lay claim to Saarinen for his design of the iconic Gateway Arch, New Yorkers also consider the Finnish architect their own for his creation of the swirling TWA terminal (image below) at JFK Airport.
If you missed the Saarinen exhibit in St. Louis and plan to be in the Big Apple this fall and/or winter, make it a point to check out the exhibit. It runs November 10 through January 31 at the Museum of the City of New York.

I hope you'll agree with me that it is a pleasure to see a ball gagged victim of abduction all tied up and undressed to lingerie. Beautiful look of helplessly bound woman eye expresses both: fear and erotic excitement. Being captured, enslaved and taken to a hidden place is an ultimate BDSM adventure for her!
Here is one of these ball gagged tied girls, who has been taken by force, and turned into silent bondage dolls. There are no clothes left of the girl except that lovely purple lingerie set and a pair of stockings that being help in place by a really nice suspender Lots of rope holds the female in tight control and her ball gagged mouth can't make any sounds, only silent moans.
Imagine how fun it is: to watch a beautiful gagged BDSM slave like this one trying to loose her bondage and run away. Currently she is sitting on the chair but just a minute later she'll roll on the floor like a worm. Foot fetish fans will love this episode also, because the bound babe is wearing a couple of classic black and shiny high heel shoes. Those match perfectly with the mature pantyhose feet of the woman.

TORONTO — Having spent 20 years in the business world, Chameli Naraine says much of her success comes from hard work, a good education and the encouraging start she had in Waterloo Region.
Naraine, president and chief executive officer of the $700-million financial processing service provider Symcor, got her educational foundation in business at Conestoga College where she graduated from the Business Administration, Materials Management program in 1983.
Last month, Naraine was recognized for her impressive career and philanthropic work since graduating from the college by winning the Premier's Award in business at the Colleges Ontario Higher Education Summit.
Naraine moved to Waterloo with her family in 1976 from their home country of Guyana and attended Bluevale Collegiate Institute. Encouraged to go into engineering, she applied to the University of Waterloo following high school.
"I wasn't too excited about that," she admitted.
But a summer job working for the local technology company NCR opened Naraine's eyes to a whole new career path.
She decided not to attend the University of Waterloo and worked full time at NCR in supply chain management, registering for college the next year.
"Going to Conestoga was one of those things that you got excited about. It was practical and it seemed real," she said. "I describe it as truly igniting my passion for learning."
Between working full time and taking classes full time, the demanding, but rewarding work prepared Naraine for her career ahead.
"Those early years . . . although it was difficult, it set the pace for what I don't think I've ever stopped," she said.
Once completed college, having made the dean's honour list, Naraine enrolled part-time at Wilfrid Laurier University for economics to round out her practical knowledge in business.
"The business skills that I really honed in from the mid '80s to the mid '90s in Waterloo, that was really an incubation and a place to demonstrate my strength in running businesses," Naraine said.
After leaving the region, Naraine worked for major companies, spending time in Asia and the U.S. before returning to Canada in 2008 and joining Symcor.
Returning, she was impressed to the changes in the business landscape in Canada. During her years in studying and working in Waterloo, she was one of a very few women in business.
"There was the desire to break those ceilings and see women in management and so it happened," she said. "I see a significant shift of the role of women in business."
That same year, she founded the
Naraine Global Fund, a philanthropic organization that funds grassroots projects and NGOs for health and educational initiatives for girls and women and farming programs for young men in Honduras.
It also funds literacy and education projects in India targeting people of all ages.
"You reach a point in life where you have to give back and share the things that you have been fortunate about," she explained.
Despite her busy schedule, Naraine keeps close ties to the foundation, visiting the countries receiving aid to see how the projects are improving lives firsthand. When she isn't travelling, Naraine's mother who still resides in Waterloo is an active project manager with the fund.
At the core of her foundation is the belief that education is the key to eliminating poverty.
"Between literacy and education, this is the only way out of poverty and the only way to offer a future to anyone," she said.
That belief, Naraine said, comes from looking back on her life and realizing the important role education played.
"Those early years have really positioned me now . . . to being so committed to education globally," she said.
