Stockman Shares His Story as He Begins Ministry at OCU
The Columbus Dispatch recently featured the story of OCU Men's Basketball Coach Tony Stockman, who came to OCU in March 2012. While Tony played for the Buckeye's his son Tayden was born with medical problems. Finding that his professional basketball career conflicted with his commitment to family, Stockman sought an opportunity to continue being a part of the game without the extensive travel requirements of a professional player. He found that opportunity at Ohio Christian University, where he will be able to minister to young people, teach a game he loves, and continue growing in faith with his family.

Questions on pickling garlic scapes
The scapes arrived at my local farmer's market this weekend. We picked up three bunches that had a dozen scapes to a bunch. The plan is to use one bunch for garlic scape pesto and two bunches for pickling tomorrow afternoon.
This will be my first time pickling scapes. I have seen a number of recipes on-line, but I have some questions.
1. Some recipes say to use only the straight part of the scape, but some recipes say you can use the whole scape. Any opinions? Experiences?
2. A number of the hot process recipes I have found call for 45 minutes of processing, which seems like an awfully long time. (They all seem to come from one source.) I just pickled asparagus two weeks ago and those processed for only ten minutes; the pickled scape recipes in the books I have around the house (Canning for a New Generation and Put 'Em Up) call for 15 minutes of processing. Can I safely change the recipe to process for 15 minutes?
3. Some foods do better as refrigerator pickles and some do better in a hot water bath. What are your views on refrigerator pickling of the scapes versus hot water processing?
4. One of the recipes that appeals calls for fresh basil leaves in each jar. I have used an assortment of fresh peppers and dried herbs in pickling, but never fresh basil. Will it turn an unappetizing color?
As always, thanks in advance for your help on this!!

Submission + - RaspberryPi Model B now gets 512MB-> 1 1
"One of the most common suggestions we've heard since launch is that we should produce a more expensive "Model C" version of Raspberry Pi with extra RAM. This would be useful for people who want to use the Pi as a general-purpose computer, with multiple large applications running concurrently, and would enable some interesting embedded use cases (particularly using Java) which are slightly too heavyweight to fit comfortably in 256MB."
Although I think this is good news, this could lead to some fragmentation within the community since some boards have more memory than others.

Submission + - Blackhole's 'point of no return' found-> 1 1
According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, a black hole's mass and spin determine how close material can orbit before becoming unstable and falling in toward the event horizon. The team was able to measure this innermost stable orbit and found that it's only 5.5 times the size of the black hole's event horizon. This size suggests that the accretion disk is spinning in the same direction as the black hole.
The observations were made by linking together radio telescopes in Hawaii, Arizona, and California to create a virtual telescope called the Event Horizon Telescope, or EHT. The EHT is capable of seeing details 2,000 times finer than the Hubble Space Telescope.

Love this rack
Got this rack after using a friend's NV model (slight upgrade from the NV Core). Very solid rack and is surprisingly light.
I would have gone for the NV if I was looking to get the extension to make it a 4-bike rack, but the NV core is perfect if just looking for the 2-bike rack.
Definitely advise getting the locking cables, which were really easy to install.

Team Conan? Try Team Fallon
I'm speaking, of course, about the ongoing late-night drama between the network, Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien. For over a week now, the three have been caught in a media firestorm that escalated Sunday when NBC announced the cancellation of 'The Jay Leno Show,' Leno's 10PM variety hour.
And that was just the beginning: Soon, NBC had proposed an alternative plan, in which Leno would move back to late-night, at 11:35, bumping 'The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien,' to 12:05. Conan followed with a statement published on Tuesday. In it, he expressed disappointment with the plan and stated that he will not host the 'Tonight Show' after Leno. This left the future of late-night on NBC in limbo.
For now, it appears that Leno will take back the 'Tonight Show' after all, and many have argued that he's the wrong guy for the job. Despite 17 years of experience behind the desk, Leno represents a thing of the past at a time when NBC needs to be trying something new.
The kicker: Conan isn't the right guy, either; it's actually Jimmy Fallon.
► What's Your Take on the Situation?
In many ways, Jimmy Fallon represents the future of late-night television. At 35, this young (well, by late-night standards, anyway) and affable comedian is, so far, one of the only hosts to successfully combine an old-school format with the trends and technologies of today. Whereas Leno and Letterman riff off of band leaders Kevin Eubanks and Paul Schaffer, Fallon houses The Roots, an alternative band (in this case, literally) that is recognizable to many within the younger demographics. Fallon also has fun and experiments with his guests. Where else can you watch Charlize Theron, Serena Williams and, yes, Betty White play beer pong on TV?
But where Fallon really wins is on the Internet. Fallon has capitalized on social media networks like Twitter, where he'll often post jokes from his monologue and news about upcoming guests ("I'll talk about Jay/Conan stuff after the monologue tonight," he tweeted Wednesday). He stays connected with his audience well after Carson Daly takes over at 1:35 -- a trick that Conan could certainly learn from, given the rising support from groups like "Team Conan" and "I'm With Coco."
Ratings-wise, Fallon has kept a close fight with his 12:35AM rival Craig Ferguson, and in recent weeks has actually pulled ahead in the key 18-49 demo; during the week of Jan. 4-8, Fallon saw his biggest audience in 16 weeks and scored a solid 0.6 rating, according to TV by the Numbers. However, the show still trails in overall viewers.
But Fallon is smart enough to know that ratings are only part of the equation, especially these days, when most numbers are about as low as the median age of the hosts on 'Saturday Night Live.' "Time doesn't really matter to me," he said in an interview with NY Mag. "We're in a different age. Time is like ... I don't even know what time 'Jersey Shore' is on. It doesn't matter -- I'll see it." Fallon understands that his viewers are living in the age of DVRs and online streaming, and works hard to find ways to accommodate them.
Fallon also appears to be playing it smart as the battle between Leno and Conan continues to heat up. Instead of taking sides like, say, Letterman or Jimmy Kimmel, Fallon has stayed neutral, offering support to both hosts. "Leno gave me so much advice, and so did Conan," he said during last night's show. "And if Conan didn't kick ass here for 17 years, I wouldn't be here."
"I'm happy to have a job," he said.
By staying neutral, Fallon keeps viewers at bay, offering an easily-digestible safe-zone -- the same kind that arguably made Leno so popular as host of the 'Tonight Show.'
I stayed up to watch Fallon last night -- something I don't always get to do, given my busy work schedule. And while his monologue was dry, I did appreciate some of what he brought to the table, including an inspired impersonation of Neil Young singing 'Pants on the Ground' (which he tweeted about prior to the show's airing) and a duet with 'Hurt Locker' star Jeremy Renner. If anything, it was nice to see someone on NBC not talking about the controversy. Perhaps inadvertently, Fallon looked fresh -- the kind of face that NBC desperately needs in all of this mess.
I didn't make it through the entire episode (again, work) but I did save it on my DVR, and plan to finish it over the weekend. As Fallon would say, it doesn't matter when it happens; I'll see it -- more proof that he actually gets it.
In the next couple of days, NBC will have to find a way to stop the bleeding, and that quick-fix answer is becoming more apparent by the hour: Jay Leno will probably move back to late-night, while Conan will disappear, then reappear on a network like Fox.
In the meantime, NBC will also have to start planning for the future. Lucky for them, it's already here -- and it's airing at 12:35.

I love how Leno is so it is not me it is not me...I am not the one doing this it is NBC. Sure Jay, like David Letterman was set to host the Tonight show and earned it..but, you came in and what..stole it....Letterman, left and started his show on CBS and in my opinion out classes and out performs...So why, are we all "surprised" that Jay has done it again. This time he is destroying a Show that is a piece of Television History.

Ellen should get the Tonight Show. She's as good a man as the rest of 'em.

We really can't see Conan continuing after last night. Leave, sooner the better. The guests of the Tonight Show seemed put off by the harsh statements. Rob Lowe was equally bashed by Coco for his Helli-Ski trips. Not a way to stay in the business that's for sure. These childish actions need to stop before the damage to the Tonight Show brand is to deep.

This site is the TMZ of TV. Jimmy Fallon is not in Conan's league, and is totally wrong for The Tonight Show. He doesn't have the range- not that he isn't talented. He belongs where he is- though Ferguson far outclasses him. And Carson Daly belongs on MTV.
- Saturday 16 JanuaryBy Mark
I agree. Craig Ferguson has the natural charm and he's seasoning it, getting better and better.
- Friday 15 JanuaryBy Josh
Fallon is neutral because he is a talentless hack that doesn't belong on TV. It's embarrassing to watch.
- Friday 15 JanuaryBy Doug
Jimmy is awesome! His show is way more unpredictable than Jay or Conan (though I like both of them as well). Also, the Roots are better than Weinberg or Eubanks and also funnier.
I love the gameshow aspect with the participation of audience members in almost every episode and the skits are a helluva lot funnier than 10 at 10 or jaywalking. My personal fav is ULTIMATE MUSTACHE FIGHTING lol.
I hated the idea of him having a show because I didn't care for him on SNL. But i guess SNL just didn't give him any good material cause he's great.
- Friday 15 January
Jimmy Fallon was okay on SNL, but as standup he's just not funny at all...his "jokes" are so obvious and dumb... like he's not even there....

- Friday 15 JanuaryBy BG
I keep saying it over and over again, Conan really isnt good enough. People like underdogs, and he seems to be the underdog. But where were the team Conan guys when he was crashing in the ratings?? He got 50% of Jay's ratings when he was host.
It all cant be Jay or NBC's fault.
- Saturday 16 JanuaryBy Jared
Jay did bad in the ratings during his first year too. It took about 3 for him to get it right. They're only giving Conan 7 months
- Friday 15 JanuaryBy YoungKev
Fallon is boring and isnt funny and this is from that "young generation" you speack of...ever since he took over the Late Night show I have not watched once. If you believe that he could host the Tonight Show your on drugs!

Schwartz is just trying to get the best out of this team by changing the attitude, getting the players to play with a chip on their shoulders, believe in themselves and each other, be the agressor and force the issue not be dictated to by the other team. his response to Harbaugh was perfect he made his point and left Jim looking like the spoiled little child that got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. yes there will be cases of going over the top but time and maturity will take care of that, learning to play on the edge does not happen over night but once it becomes a teams trait and is instilled ( Steelers) we fans will be the benefactors. I have full confidence in the management and players on this team to continue to improve and provide many exciting sundays and Monday nights in the future.
As the team matures these issues will disappear, don't forget other than Nates penalties against N.O. these penalties were all from 1st and 2nd year players. As for discipline Silver apparently you did not receive any.
My opinion only but I think Johan's comments exemplify what I have been saying for the last two years, this team does not have the single leader that will rise above everyone and take the team along. We depend on a core of players to be leaders, unfortunately it is not in their character to stand out and demand more from their team mates. Nik,Pavel and Henrick are great supportive leaders but lack the fire and passion of the Lindsay's, Yzerman's etc. To change this the pecking order in the club house needs to change or an established player like a Doan acquired.
Good reply well stated, the web has empowered all of us, we read a few reports sit on the outside with marginal information and than rant and rave as if we are the all knowing with the ability to read into the future. Than life wakes up and we stroll out into the cold to peddle our papers, deliver our milk or mind our stores.
Further proof that the ability to post on this website is not impaired by thought, intelligence or common sense.
I have to believe they could have gotten him in the third, I mean Currie, Randle, Konz really desert is nice but you finish your meat and potatoes first
Did they discover he played DB in HS and were going to shock us with the versatility
shut off the draft watching the hockey game, sorry would not have been BPA in the fourth round
There is no chance that we will be able to move Franzen with that contract, there is no one desparate enough to take on that contract. Yes the direction of the coaching staff has considerable blame for a lot of what has happened. The defence looks lost at times, special teams are at the best pedestrian, the top six forwards are based on years of service or some formula which does not include desire or contribution. The lack of development of the young talent, just my opinion but I feel in the few chances that they had in this series Nyquist and Emmerton proved to be more valuable than either Hudler, Franzen and Bert. and yes I know Bert was playing hurt. Pavel seemed to be invigorated whenever he was paired with Gustav. There is much opportunity here but Ken and Mike need to realize that the game is bypassing them and they need to adjust to it, (see the Blues and Ken Hitchcock). Is Gen X on vacation?
Rome was not built in a day and did not come down in one day, the slow demise of the dynasty began with the retirement of the last true leader this team has had, followed by the loss in continuity with the departure of Scotty's regime (asst. coaches). As much as we point fingers at Ken this team and the coaching staff is largely the reflection of it's coach. Ken deserves to take the heat as the overall caretaker of the team but there is a large footprint created by Babcock. The resigning of Franzen to the long term contract, bringing Hudler back, the lack of developing the young players. Double standard for players in earning ice time and line positions. Trying to justify Franzen by burdening Pavel with him only negated our first line strength. As a whole this team has drifted away from what brought it the accolades of the past and made it so appealing to free agents. Simply signing Parise and Suter will not resolve this but it is a start.
Barron if available, if not trade back take Konz C/G in 1st J. Robinson CB 2nd, Trumaine Johnson CB 3rd, Sean Spence OLB with 3rd from trade Nate Potter G/OT 4th round Donte Paige Moss DE 5th
Copy Paste
Yes officiating leaves much to be desired, calls are slanted but we were fortunate not to be killing off a major penalty for Franzens spear at the Nashville bench. Johan has had plenty of opportunities since early Feb. and has yet to justify playing on any of the top three lines he is a detriment to Pavel who is completely worn out covering for him by the third period. Henrick is getting no help from allergic to contact Hudler. I was saying it weeks before the playoffs that we needed to bring up a couple of the players from the farm and put them up on the top lines. Nyquist should be working with Pavel and either Bert or Cleary. Put Homer out with Zed and Fil, Abby, Miller Bert or Cleary, Emmerton with Conner and Sheahan for the energy line and let them play with abandon. Need to take it to Nashville
Hugeadummy ........................ finally someone that lives up to their billing
I believe there will be a draft day trade involving Avril, there are three teams that are targeting a DE. and 2 of them have multiple first round picks, a trade for a first and fifth could be very possible than trading our first to move back and adding an additional third. In this scenario I would like to see Konz selected to start at guard and eventually replace Dom. Options with the additional first ( I like trading for additional 2nd & 3rd round picks). Several corners, Linebackers and developmental DE.'s available. Also would be good with grabbing Barron if he were available with our selection in the first.
Let's put it this way IMO the caliber of officiating has seriously degraded over the last 10 years. The officials are overwhelmed and reacting to situations instead of controlling the game. With 4 officials on the ice the amount of mis calls is atrocious. It seems that ever since Bettman became a part of the NHL he has interjected himself into this facet of the game, his tinkering has manifested itself into what we now see, officials withh no feel for the game, no respect from the players or coaching staffs. The result is no confidence, inconsistency and a breakdown in an important part of the game which makes playoff hockey both frustrating and sometimes unbearable.
That's absolutely correct, Franzen makes a hockey play and the finsh is not close.
Very strong game by the wings tonight, physically and mentally also good to see cleary and emmerton step up when needed. Dan was playing like his old self tough and gritty and cory demonstrated something I always felt he had, a natural shooter, nice goal let's see more of that and some of the defensive plays you made tonight. A good night by big E. also physical and good with the puck. What a game by Howie so cool all game good puck control.
Correction Nazhvilles last goal was aided by Franzen doing his normal lazy stick check and allowing his man to skate out alone and score
Whhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttt r u saying

Fractured skull cannot stop Tom Powell's Commonwealth Games bid
Posted: July 11, 2014|
Tom Powell admitted being thrilled to be selected for England's rugby sevens squad for the Commonwealth Games after recovering from a fractured skull.
The Cambridge-based player was called up for the 12-man squad for Glasgow yesterday having only recently got over the head injury.
He feared it would be touch and go if he would be back in time when he suffered the break recently, but was delighted to have made a full recovery.
Powell, 28, said: "I've been around the squad for about the last five years and have played 40 tournaments as well as the previous Commonwealth Games, but I fractured my skull six or seven weeks ago, so it was a race against time to get back fit and in contention, so I'm over the moon and I can't wait to go to Glasgow.
"It was a freak incident where I clashed heads and fractured the front of my skull.
"I had a quick operation a week later and I have to thank the doctors and physios because they've got me back on track and good to go for the Commonwealth Games.
"I think it's one of those things that sounds a lot worse than it actually was, but once the fracture was reset, it was just a case of having rehab and getting back."
Powell, who played for Cambridge before being handed a central sevens contract by the RFU in 2010, just missed out on a medal in Delhi four years ago after England lost 17-14 to South Africa in the third place play-off and it is something he is keen to make up for this time.
He said: "I guess my one biggest regret has been finishing fourth at the last Commonwealth Games.
"It's the worst place to come in a medal competition and as you can imagine it's something I've had my eye on since that day and this is a chance to put that right.
"Our preparations are building nicely. We will have some very challenging games, but there is a lot of belief in this squad.
"The multi-sport element makes the Commonwealth Games completely different from our normal competitions.
"It will have a great atmosphere and I think off the back of the home Olympics, there will be huge support making it an extra special event to be part of."

Ward: Point of low orderWritten by Lisa Renee Ward | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Legislative bodies have rules. Toledo City Council has some rules set out by the charter and some that council itself decrees. How the rules are applied was discussed at the May 3 Council meeting.
When members of council want to speak, they use a system of lights; they turn on their light and they are called on by whomever is chairing the meeting. They can also interject, asking for a "point of order."
Legislation concerning a collective bargaining agreement between Toledo Municipal Court (TMC) and seven Toledo Municipal Court Deputy Clerk supervisors was presented and a suspension roll call was conducted. For legislation to be passed without two readings, the charter rules have to be suspended. This is accomplished by a quick reading of the names with speed worthy of an auctioneer.
Council President Wilma Brown recognized Councilman Steve Steel.
"I was going to move for a slow roll call on suspension … to keep it at first reading," Steel said.
Discussion then ensued as to issues that were raised during council's off-the-record discussion in executive session concerning this legislation. Steel wanted "a greater level of resolution."
Clarification was sought on the legislation time frame from Law Director Adam Loukx.
"I'm not certain when this was submitted to the legislative body, but there is a 30-day requirement," Loukx said.
During the April 26 Agenda Review, Councilman Rob Ludeman asked him about the time frame.
"We do have a little bit of time," Loukx said. "After the executive session you can decide whether or not to first read or do whatever on May 3."
It was said the deadline was May 20, after council meets on May 18.
Councilman Joe McNamara said there may be a legal disagreement as to whether this unit is a strike unit or not a strike unit but there's no disagreement in terms of the economic impact of the terms of this contract. He said this becoming a bargaining pattern would be "catastrophic."
Councilwoman Lindsay Webb wanted more clarification from legal counsel. She said she supported Steel.
Councilman D. Michael Collins said a two-week time period could give TMC the opportunity to go back to the table with the bargaining unit since it was clear this would not be approved.
Then a question was raised since the suspension roll call had been completed. Clarification was sought on if they were now beyond the point of they could redo a slow count on suspension.
A motion to reconsider was needed, which has taken place when a member of Council wants to change his or her vote. Though Council does not always follow that, several times under Brown's council presidency, a member of Council has made a wrong vote, and was either allowed to change that vote or the vote was redone without the reconsideration process.
Ludeman said he needed to leave in five minutes, so he moved to reconsider.
If the motion for reconsideration passed, then council would start again as if the original suspension roll call never took place. If the motion failed, then suspension would stand.
While voting, Steel paused, McNamara provided clarification, Councilman Tom Waniewski said, "Don't tell him." Ludeman, Steel, Webb, Collins and Phil Copeland voted to allow reconsideration. The others voted no. The motion lost.
Steel said his light was on before roll call and questioned where in the Council rules it allows for a fast roll call.
"I attempted to follow the proper procedure," Steel said. "I have been effectively silenced by a majority vote of fellow council members. I think that's really, really unfortunate and a very low point in my almost two-year tenure on Council."
Craig said Steel could have called point of order. There was laughter.
"Wow," Webb said.
"Can we move on?" Brown said.
There is no written council rule allowing for the fast roll call; it's something that Council adopted informally so that the meetings went faster as opposed to having a roll call vote on suspension and emergency then a full voice count on passage.
Then the fast roll call for emergency, which was stopped since clarification was needed as to where Council was. That resolved, Council voted on the ordinance; it failed.

Located in the hip, bustling Palermo Viejo neighborhood that is popularly known as Palermo Hollywood
The Fierro Hotel Boutique is located in the lively Palermo Viejo neighborhood and within walking distance of bars, restaurants, and clubs.
Palermo is a massive neighborhood in the northeastern part of Buenos Aires, only 15 minutes away from the downtown area or Microcentro. The Palermo Viejo (Old Palermo) section can be really be divided into two smaller sections: Palermo Soho to the south and Palermo Hollywood to the north. Palermo Hollywood gets its name because of the many radio and television studios in the area. It features more old, Spanish-style architecture and low-rise buildings than other parts of the city. Today, Palermo Hollywood is known less for its tourist attractions and more for its various international wining and dining options and its vibrant nightlife scene.
Located in the trendy neighborhood of Palermo Hollywood, the 27-room Fierro Hotel Boutique is a chic and upscale property that stands out for its luxe touches such as towel heaters and free loaner iPads. All rooms are spacious suites with modern furnishings, comfy beds, balconies, and high-tech amenities such as flat-screen TVs and iPod docks. The bathrooms have rainfall showerheads, but lack tubs. Highlights include the rooftop terrace with heated, outdoor pool and renowned restaurant run by acclaimed chef Hernán Gipponi, who uses ingredients plucked from an organic garden on the property. Plenty of restaurants, bars, and clubs are also within walking distance.

People may find a little piece of local history jangling around in their pockets in a few years.
The U.S. Mint announced it will feature Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial on a quarter to be issued in 2013.
The quarter is one of 56 America the Beautiful quarters that honor the country's most treasured places.
"This was a big surprise for us and a big honor," said memorial superintendent Blanca Alvarez Stransky.
She said many people don't know the historical significance of Perry's Victory, and the quarters might help spread the word.
"It's cool to know we'll be carried around in people's pockets," she said.
Other quarters in the series include Yellowstone National Park, Grand Canyon National Park and Yosemite National Park in 2010, Gettysburg National Military Park, Glacier National Park and Olympic National Park in 2011, and Hawaii Volcanos National Park in 2013 among others.
New America the Beautiful quarters will be issued each year until 2021.
"Since our nation's founding, our coins have celebrated American ideals such as liberty and justice, our rich history and heritage, and the great presidents and other leaders who have guided us," said U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar in a statement.
"I am pleased that these new quarters will now celebrate America the Beautiful, the spectacular natural wonders that are found in our national parks, wildlife refuges and public lands."
Stransky said the 2013 release date for the Perry's Victory quarter coincides with the War of 1812's bicentennial.
She said staff at the memorial are already working on plans to remember the battle on Lake Erie, and honor the lasting peace between Canada and the U.S.

Arena Stage 'Oklahoma' casting changes: Pig, goat, chicken cut
- You won't be seeing this adorable pig in Arena Stage's 'Oklahoma.' (Photo: Courtesy Serenity Farm)
It was no ordinary casting call that appeared in the City Paper and online: When Arena Stage announced the audition opportunity for a "stage pig," they didn't mean an actor who could ham it up. For an opening scene in Oklahoma, properties director Chuck Fox was seeking a docile, housebroken pig, as well as other barnyard animals, to appear briefly in the show.
That pig - a 20-pound piglet named Amelia - as well as a goat and two chickens, had their moment in the spotlight for Arena's preview performances. But after previews, they were sent back to the farm: Artistic director Molly Smith decided that the run time of the show was too long. The overture, for which cast members carried the animals across the stage, was cut to slim down the production.
Amelia the pig had a good coach for her brief moment of stardom. She's owned by Frank Robinson, whose family owns Serenity Farm in Charles County, Md. When Robinson isn't working on the farm, he's an actor. He has an Equity card, and has even appeared in Arena Stage productions in one of their previous theaters, The Old Vat Room. You may have seen him more recently in the Kennedy Center's Page to Stage festival reading for "Still Beating Hearts."
Robinson auditioned his animals after seeing the casting call on Arena's Facebook page.
"I said, 'If you're not kidding, I have a pig that's stage ready,' and [Fox] said, 'You wouldn't happen to have a goat, too, would you?'" says Robinson. The goat's name is Lola.
Robinson's animals were indeed stage-ready - prepped for the role by their time spent in a petting zoo at the farm.
"Frank's sister, Theresa, started preparing the piglet practically from birth," says Fox in an e-mail. "At the first audition, they had brought a different, older pig but she was deemed too old. Frank had to break it to her that her ingenue days were over." Showbiz can be cruel.
So Amelia, Lola and the two chickens showed up dutifully for their walk-on parts, in which they were led across the stage by the actors, and "were doing quite well in their roles," says Fox. "Generally speaking, the key to controlling the pig and goat was bribery with food. The chickens were in a cage so they were easy."
"People were surprised and delighted to see the animals in the production," says Robinson. "Unfortunately, I couldn't be in it, but I could get my animals in. But that is the world of theater."
While Robinson enjoyed his brief turn as a stage dad, he admits that it may have been for the best.
"I thought, 'This may be the wrong thing to do,' because whoever reviews the play could say, 'Amelia wasn't the only ham on stage,' or 'This production really laid an egg,'" he says.
But he's open to them appearing in other productions, or even commercials or movies, if called upon. That's after little Amelia gets over the disappointment of being cut from the show.
"She had her eye on stardom," says Robinson.

Disappointed Again!
Disheartened Liberians on their way back home after Lone
Star failed to get the job done again
By Edwin Boy Dolo
Liberians again left the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports (SKD)
Complex disheartened, bruised in their spirit, and hung
their heads in shame after their darling Lone Star felt prey
in their own backyard to the ferocious Tarenga Lions of
Senegal Sunday.
The Lone Star dreadfully bowed 2-0 to the Tarenga Lions who
are now seated at the top of group "J" with nine points, one
point ahead of Uganda after five games.
Supporters left the stadium with mix reactions with many
blaming the players for their inability to deliver for the
last one decade, while others attributed the team's failure
to flourish in any given competition and lack of programs
and passion from football stakeholders.
The squad motivated by Soccer Legend George Weah and former
goal keeper Louis Crayton, who striped himself naked before
the kickoff of the match just to build up the momentum from
the supporters fail to break Senegal unbeaten record against
But whatever the case may be the dream of reaching the
Brazil's 2014 World Cup ended with Newcastle striker Demba
Cisse scoring a penalty and a powerful shot in both halves
to seal the doom of the homesters and stamp the win for the
Lions, who are now homeless due to CAF ban.
Liberia began the match on a flamboyant note with early
chances, but as usual could not put the ball at the back of
the net.
Omega Roberts wrapped home a superb Anthohy Laffor header in
the Senegalese 18-yard box, but France-based Coundoul Bouma
excellently sent it out for the Lone Star first corner kick
opportunity in the sixth minute.
Liberia kept possession, but conceded a penalty following a
bad defensive play 10th minute. Alex Karmo who made his
first international home debut, fouled Demba Cisse thus
giving the Barclay Premier League striker the chance to get
the curtain raiser.
Cisse sent goalie Nathaniel Sherman scampering in thin air
as the ball hit the net behind him, while Lone Star gasp and
tears in welling in the eyes of others.
As Nathaniel and the Cisse ball parted ways, Senegalese fans
who were drumming burst into celebration as their
compatriots registered the first goal of match.
Liberians jumped of their feet when Omega pitted the ball at
the bottom of the net for a redeemer, but referee Davies
Omweno sounded his whistle for foul against teammate Francis
Doe thus disallowing the goal to the disenchantment of the
home supporters.
Cisse again made it 2-0 zero after cleverly getting by
defender Ansu Toure before firing a rocketed volley from the
edge of the 18-yard box.
The goal got the Liberian supporters bitter as they began to
throw plastic bags of water on the pitch. This incident
brought the match to momentary halt for ten minutes, but
play resumed after Liberian police intervention.
The Lone Star fought to level the score with Cocah Frank
Jericho Nagbe substituting Alex Karmo who dismally
functioned at the right-back, bringing in Francis Jallabah
from Barrack Young Controllers (BYC), his second
international cap.
Jericho also brought on Sekou Oliseh Jabateh for speedy
Tonia Tisdell and Herron Berrian for the tiring Patrick Wleh.
But the latter changes were of no help as the Senegalese
extended their unbeaten record against Liberia to 13
Liberia and Angola are out of contention, but meet in
September for the last fixture, while Senegal will meet
Uganda who needs a win in Conakry to progress while a draw
will be enough for the Senegalese

Flay to receive Earle I. Mack Award for aftercare efforts
Thoroughbred owner and celebrity chef Bobby Flay has been selected as the recipient of the Earle I. Mack Thoroughbred Champion Award, honoring outstanding efforts and influence on Thoroughbred welfare, safety, and retirement.
The award will be presented to Flay at his Bar Americain restaurant in New York City on June 6 as part of the 2013 Belmont Stakes Celebration. The event will serve as a fundraising benefit for the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation and Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation.
"I am honored to be chosen as the recipient of this year's Earle Mack TRF Champion Award," Flay said. "Racehorse retirement is a cause close to my heart. The TRF plays an important role in the aftercare of our great athletes, finding a purpose for horses whose racing days are behind them and who are unsuited to future work, and providing them with permanent, lifetime homes. I hope everyone will come out and support this event for a very worthy cause."
Flay, who joins Ogden Mills "Dinny" Phipps and Frank Stronach as recipients of the Mack Award, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Thoroughbred retirement, primarily through the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation. In 2008, he served as the chef for a TRF fundraiser that raised over $300,000 in ticket sales alone. He is an outspoken proponent of owner responsibility to their horses, and has re-purchased and retired several of his own homebreds and former racehorses.
"Bobby Flay has had such a positive impact on our Thoroughbred industry in the short time in which he has been involved in the sport," Mack said. "He has spoken out and participated on issues of safety, the backstretch and marketing, and has been a fresh voice for positive change on the NYRA board, which is needed to attract the younger generation."
Top horses campaigned by Flay include More Than Real, winner of the 2010 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf; Her Smile, winner of the Grade 1 Prioress Stakes in 2011; and multiple stakes winner Sensational Slam.
Last fall, Flay was named to a new board for the embattled New York Racing Association, which came under state control last year.
Kudos to Bobby Flay, let's all try one of his recipes tonight!!
Congrats to you Mr. Flay...You are indeed the real deal when it comes to owner/ horseman/ celebrity. Racing is lucky to have you.

As the surprisingly good weather continues, fans and athletes alike are thrilled that all spring sports are underway.
Mid-Coast-area schools have impressed in the early going. Here's a glimpse:
Brunswick baseball's undefeated run finally came to an end Monday. The Dragons had won their first five games, including an 11-0 (six inning) triumph at Morse last Wednesday and a 3-0 home win over Edward Little last Friday, but at Cony, Brunswick was held at bay and fell to 5-1 with a 10-4 loss to the Rams. The Dragons host Lewiston Friday, go to Hampden Academy Monday and play host to Oxford Hills Wednesday.
Mt. Ararat is 2-4 to date. The Eagles dropped a 10-9 home decision to Lewiston last Wednesday, bounced back to beat host Morse 11-2 Friday, then fell 3-2 at Leavitt Monday. Mt. Ararat is home with Edward Little Friday, visits Bangor Monday and plays host to Cony Wednesday.
Morse is still seeking its first win. After losing 11-2 to Mt. Ararat Friday, the Shipbuilders fell to 0-6 Monday with a 9-2 loss at Lewiston. Morse is home with Leavitt Friday, goes to Skowhegan Monday and welcomes Edward Little Wednesday.
On the girls' side of the diamond, Mt. Ararat had its three-game win streak snapped Monday with a 5-4 (nine inning) loss to Leavitt. In its previous outing, the Eagles went eight innings to beat Morse, 6-4. Mt. Ararat is home with Edward Little Friday, visits Bangor Monday and plays host to Cony Wednesday.

Mt. Ararat is 4-0 following Monday's 5-0 win over Erskine. The Eagles girls squeaked past Erskine 3-2 Monday to also improve to 4-0.

True Freedom
July 4, 2010
Read: Galatians 4:215:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free. Galatians 5:1
In 1776, the 13 British colonies in North America protested the limitations placed on them by the king of England and engaged in a struggle that gave birth to a brand-new republic. The infant nation soon adopted that now-famous document known as the Declaration of Independence.
Almost 2,000 years ago, the Lord Jesus cried out on the cross, It is finished, proclaiming the believers declaration of independence. All of humanity was under the tyranny of sin and death. But Christ, the sinless One, took our place on Calvary and died for our sins. Having satisfied Gods righteous demands, He now sets free for eternity all who trust in Him.
Paul wrote, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (Gal. 3:13). Romans 8 assures us, There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus . . . . For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death (vv.1-2). Galatians 5:1 urges all who have been redeemed to stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free.
We are thankful to God for any freedom we enjoy in a nation. But above all, believers everywhere can praise Him for the freedom that is found in Christ!
Now are we freetheres no condemnation!
Jesus provides a perfect salvation;
Come unto Me, O hear His sweet call!
Comeand He saves us once for all. Bliss
Our greatest freedom is freedom from sin.

Retreating Forward
July 5, 2010
Read: Matthew 14:13-23
When He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. Matthew 14:23
A friend told me about his churchs leadership retreat. For 2 days, church leaders pulled away for a time of prayer, planning, and worship. My friend was not only refreshed but also energized. He told me, This retreat is really going to help us move forward as a church ministry.
It sounded funny to methis notion of retreating in order to move forward. But it is true. Sometimes you have to pull back and regroup before you can make meaningful forward progress. This is particularly true in our relationship with God.
Jesus Himself practiced retreating forward. After a busy day of ministry in the region of the Sea of Galilee, He retreated. Matthew 14:23 tells us that when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. Alone in the presence of the Father.
In this fast-paced, get-ahead world, its easy to wear ourselves downpressing ahead and moving forward at all costs. But even in our desire to be effective Christians, we must consistently be willing to retreat into Gods presence. Only in the refreshing of His strength can we find the resources to move forward in our service for Him. Retreat in Jesus before moving forward.
To face lifes many challenges
And overcome each test,
The Lord tells us to take the time
To stop. To pray. To rest. Sper
Alone with the Father is the only place to find the strength to press on.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"

Something Better
July 6, 2010
Read: Heb. 11:4-7,32-40
All these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise. Hebrews 11:39
Abel doesnt seem to fit in the first half of Hebrews 11. Hes the first ancient listed, but his story isnt like the others mentioned there. Enoch went to heaven without dying. Noah saved mankind. Abraham started a people group. Isaac was a noted patriarch. Joseph rose to the top in Egypt. Moses led the greatest exodus ever.
Clearly, their faith was rewarded. By faith, they did what God asked, and He poured out blessings on them. They saw Gods promises fulfilled before their eyes.
But Abel? The second son of Adam and Eve had faith, and what did he get for it? Murdered. That sounds more like the folks in verses 35-38, who found that trusting God doesnt always lead to immediate blessing. They faced mockings, imprisonment, and being sawn in two. Thanks, but no thanks, we might say. We would all prefer to be heroic Abraham instead of someone destitute, afflicted, tormented (v.37). Yet in Gods plan, there are no guarantees of ease and fame even for the devout.
While we might experience some blessings in this life, we may also have to wait until something better (v.40) comes alongthe completion of Gods promises in Glory. Until then, lets keep living by faith.
Press on in your service for Jesus,
Spurred on by your love for the Lord;
He promised that if you are faithful,
One day youll receive your reward. Fasick
What is done for Christ right now will be rewarded in eternity.

Beware Of What You Want
July 7, 2010 by Julie Ackerman Link
Read: Exodus 20:1-17
You shall not covet. Exodus 20:17
Sometimes I wonder why God didnt list the Ten Commandments in reverse order, since the 10th commandment correlates to the first sindesire. Eves sin wasnt simply her desire for a piece of fruit; it was the desire for knowledge that Satan told her would make her like God (Gen. 3:5). Eves covetousness caused her to violate both the first and tenth commands that God later gave to Moses.
When we dont covet, we pretty much eliminate our reasons to disobey the other commands. Wanting what isnt ours causes us to lie, steal, commit adultery, murder, and refuse to honor our parents. We refuse to rest because we cant get what we want in 6 days of work. We misuse Gods name when we use it to justify something that we want to do. We make gods out of wealth and relationships because we dont want to have to put all our trust in God.
I have a hard time coming up with sins that dont involve some form of covetousness. Yet because its the last in the list, we tend to think of it as being the least important. But its not. When we stop sin while it is still in our hearts and heads, we avoid making others the victim of our sin, and we avoid many of the serious consequences of sin.
When you covet someone elses things,
Thinking that theyre better than your own,
Just remember that Gods gifts to you
Were designed for you and you alone. Hess
Contentment is realizing that God has already given me all I need.

False Predictions
July 8, 2010
Read: Matthew 24:36-44
Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age? Matthew 24:3
News that a solar eclipse would take place on July 22, 2009, brought an alarming prediction. It was predicted that the eclipse would sufficiently affect gravitational pull, causing tectonic plates to pop a seam, resulting in a sizable earthquake and a subsequent devastating tsunami in Japan. The US Geological Survey responded that no scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. They do not know how, and they do not expect to know how, anytime in the foreseeable future.
There have also been many false predictions about the date of Christs second comingdespite our Lords emphatic words: But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only (Matt. 24:36). Christ told His followers that instead of trying to predict the date of His return, they should watch (v.42) and be ready (v.44).
Peter warned, The day of the Lord will come like a thief. Then he added: What kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives (2 Peter 3:10-11 NIV).
Striving to live for Godthats what Jesus wants us to focus our energy on while we wait for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13).
When someone says, I can discern
Exactly when Christ will return,
Dont be deceived or led astray
The Lord said we cant know the day. Sper
Look for Christs return, and youll live for Christs glory.

Show Up Before You Speak Up
July 9, 2010
Read: Matthew 5:11-16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father. Matthew 5:16
There was a time when a certain West Coast city may have been one of the most hostile places to the gospel in America. Posters in coffee shops advertised witchcraft meetings where you could learn to cast a spell on your enemies.
It was such a challenging environment for churches that they struggled to get building permits from the city council. And there was a lot of woe is me talk among church leaders. Until a group of pastors began to meet to pray regularly and then decided to take the love of Jesus into their city. They started a ministry to the homeless, to those suffering with AIDS, to teens at risk. Faithfully and intentionally they brought the love of Jesus to the needs of hurting people. Before long, the city agencies started calling on them for help. Better yet, the churches started growing as people responded to the gospel in action.
Which proves the point: Sometimes youve got to show up before you speak up. No one really wants to hear what we have to say about the love of Jesus until theyve seen it in our lives (Matt. 5:16). Then even the most ardent opponents to the gospel may just be glad youre in their town, their office, or their neighborhood. And then you just might be able to tell them about Jesus.
Let us go forth, as called of God,
Redeemed by Jesus precious blood;
His love to show, His life to live,
His message speak, His mercy give. Whittle
When you share the gospel, make sure you live the gospel.

The Price Of Involvement
July 10, 2010
Read: 2 Cor. 11:22-33
. . . besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches. 2 Corinthians 11:28
While making his landmark documentary about World War II, filmmaker Ken Burns and his colleagues watched thousands of hours of military footage. Scenes of the devastating Battle of Peleliu often invaded their dreams at night. Burns told Sacramento Bee reporter Rick Kushman, Youre listening to the ghosts and echoes from an almost inexpressible past. If you do that, you put yourself into the emotional maelstrom.
Theres a price to becoming involved in the struggles of others, whether artistically or spiritually. Paul experienced this in his work of sharing the gospel: Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches. Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern? (2 Cor. 11:28-29 NASB).
Oswald Chambers said we enter this spiritual struggle as we deliberately identify ourselves with Gods interests in other people and find to our amazement that we have power to keep wonderfully poised in the center of it all.
Paul realized that Gods strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Cor. 12:9). Jesus paid the greatest price to be involved in our world, and He strengthens us as we share His love with others.
Though weak, you still can serve today
And follow Christs command;
Behind the lines or in the fray
In Jesus strength you stand. Hess
If we obey Gods calling, He will provide the needed strength.

The Doers Of The World
July 11, 2010
Read: James 1:19-27
Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only. James 1:22
Just after we moved to a house in a new neighborhood, we invited my sister-in-law and her husband over for Sunday dinner. As we were greeting Sue and Ted at the door, an odd noise directed their eyes toward the kitchen. As I followed their gaze, I froze in horror. An errant hose of our old portable dishwasher was whipping about like the trunk of an angry elephant, spewing water everywhere!
Sue went into action mode. Dropping her purse, she was in the kitchen before me, shutting off the water and calling for towels and a mop. We spent the first 15 minutes of their visit on our knees mopping the floor.
Sue is a doerand the world is a better place because of the doers of the world. These are the people who are always ready to pitch in, to be involved, and even to lead if necessary.
Many of the doers of the world are also doers of the Word. These are the followers of Jesus who have taken the challenge of James to heart: Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only (1:22).
Are you doing all that you know God wants you to do? As you read Gods Word, put what youve learned into practice. First hearthen do. Gods blessing comes as a result of our obedience (v.25).
We need to hear the Word of God
To know what we should do,
But listening is not enough
Without our follow-through. Sper
The value of the Bible does not consist merely in knowing it, but in obeying it.
