COATICOOK,QC–On August 8th the O.E.C. Lightning traveled to Coaticook and came away with a very exciting win to end their season.
With the lead changing hands 4 times throughout the course of the game, it took the Lighting until the top of the 7th to finally put it away thanks to a 4 run outburst.
But lets go back to see how we got there.
In the top of the first Phoenix Malanga led off for the Lightning and the very first pitch he saw drilled it in the gap in left center for a double.
After straying too far off second, he was picked off, which cost the team a run as Colin Myrick also doubled, and went to third on a overthrow.
Andrew Gonyaw walked and was caught trying to steal second.
However, some good came of it as Myrick scored with the first run of the game on the play.
In the bottom of the first Coaticook's J. Raymond (first names were not available) lead off with a double against Lightning pitcher Bryce Carter.
A. Quiron and C. Marcoux both singled scoring Raymond and the game was tied 1-1.
It stayed that way until the 4th inning when both Carter and Kolby George singled.
They both scored on a hard single up the middle by Nick Baraw, 3-1 Lightning.
Coaticook answered in their half of the frame as C. Marcoux was hit by a pitch, A. Ryan walked, and after a double steal, M. Moreau singled both in.
After 4 innings game tied 3-3.
Going to the bottom of the fifth J. Raymond singled, was sacrificed over and scored on a single by A. Quironas the home took a 4-3 lead.
In the sixth George and Jared Hussey walked.
After George got picked off second, Nick Baraw walked.
Ben Myrick singled up the middle, scoring Hussey to know the score at fours.
Going into the bottom of the sixth A. Ryan walked, stole both second and third and came around to score on a error. Myrick then struck out J. Raymond, to limit the damage and hold the Coaticook lead to just one run.
Going into the seventh with Coaticook being three outs from a win, the Lightning went into Action.
Coaticook had their ace Raymond on the Mound, but it made no difference to the boys from Vermont.
Andrew Gonyaw walked followed by Bryce Carter's single.
Kolby George singled in Gonyaw with the tying run, and Carter and George ended up on second and third respectively.
Jared Hussey then drove in the winning and insurance run number one to give the Lightning the 7-5 advantage.
Ben Myrick then singled in Hussey, and when the smoked cleared it was 8-5 Lightning after 6 1/2.
After a lead off single to M. Landry in the bottom of the seventh inning, Colin Myrick retired the next three batters to record the win for the Lightning.
It was a great played game by both sides good hitting fine pitching from Bryce Carter and Colin Myrick for the Lightning. And great defense from both teams.
The Lightning had a very good season finishing with a 9 & 6 record. We will look forward to seeing these young men in action again next year.

The proposed building of a mosque and community center near the World Trade Center seems to be the most recent fiasco prompting GOP hardliners to flaunt their hypocritical natures. My favorite example so far was the zinger Newt Gingrich let rip on Fox News. Gingrich suggested that the Muslims proposing the center where "radical Islamists" and went on to compare their protected expression of religion to Nazi's planting signs next to the Holocaust museum in D.C.
On his Web site, Gingrich has a page devoted to "Religious Liberty." The page suggests that non-religious folk us academia and government to curtail religious expression. It also states that Newt is on the offensive, "mobilizing people of faith" to protect their religious freedoms. This seems to be at odds with his stance against the mosque. Unless, of course, Gingrich is only interested in mobilizing people of the Christian faith, although "Christians" are never named specifically on the site. So why would Gingrich be so interested in curtailing Muslim rights while promoting Christian rights? My guess is he gets off on the misfortunes of those he sees as hailing from a rival group, a phenomenon known as schadenfreude.
Smith, Powell, Combs and Schurtz (2009) who study schadenfreude extensively, would probably agree with my observation. They note that schadenfreude comes from at least three conditions. Gaining from the misfortunes of others is one. It is also evident when one's in-group succeeds due to the failures of rival outgroup, especially for high-identifiers like Newt. Another applicable source is when misfortune befalls an envied person. I would guess that all three sources are at work here. It is hard to say if sadistic emotions or a political/religious agenda motivates Newt to hypocrisy. My guess is that Newt is simply a closet Sadomasochist whose mouth can't seem to stay closed. Still, I really shouldn't be surprised when politicians speak from both sides of their mouths. Actually, I don't think I am surprised, just stunned when their hypocrisy is expressed so blatantly and transparently.

When Peter Plunkett's (Peter O'Toole) Irish castle turned hotel is about to be repossesed, he decides to spice up the attraction a bit with a haunting for American tourists. Now these brave Americans have traveled all the way to Europe to visit a genuine haunted castle. Their host doesn't want them disappointed. but when you fake a haunting the real ghosts get mad. Now they're out of the closet and love is in the air. There's nothing like a vacation to give your spirits a lift. We can promise you ghouls of all descriptions in HIGH SPIRITS!
Director Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Interview with the Vampire) busts loose in the zany '80s comedy about ghouls, ghosts and romance. Plagued by studio interference, this film was released to little fanfare and ultimately has been relegated to unrented VHS copies on dusty video store shelves. But to dismiss this film is a disservice to yourself! Combining insane practical ghosty effects and ethereal animation with an all-star '80s cast that includes THE GUTTE, Daryl Hannah, Liam Neeson, Peter O'Toole, Beverly D'Angelo, Jennifer Tilly and Peter Gallagher, HIGH SPIRITS is a brisk blast of '80s goofiness, ghastly whackiness, spousal swappiness and O'Toole bumbling, scheming, drunkeness. Strap yourself in cause Alamo Beverage Director, Bill Norris, is concocting a set of cocktails from the other side that will make you fall in love and haunt you through to the next morning.

Apple has extended its deal for exclusive access to Liquidmetal (for use in consumer electronics equipment) for two more years. This could mean the rumors are true that this incredibly tough metal alloy might be used as the casing material for the iPhone 5.
So far, Apple has only used Liquidmetal for the SIM ejector tool for their iPhones and iPads. It could be that this is Apple's way of testing the material and the manufacturing process together before committing to its use in a component as critical as the iPhone's case.
It could also mean that we are seriously over-thinking this one, and Apple just likes the Liquidmetal ejector tools.

Fifty Dead Men Walking
Action/Adventure, Suspense/Thriller
Set in Belfast in 1980 where the Irish Republican Army is waging an all-out insurgent war against the British occupation, Martin McGartland is a young small-time Belfast hustler recruited by a wily British intelligence agent to infiltrate the IRA. Martin quickly uses his natural instincts as a con man to get inside the IRA and starts feeding information to the British, saving hundreds of lives in the process. But with each successful mission, Martin becomes increasingly in danger of being caught and exposed. The IRA is ruthless, and once an infiltrator has been exposed he becomes a "dead man walking." As Martin becomes consumed by his double life, and his British handlers threaten to sell him out if he refuses to continue his counter-intelligence work, he is plunged into a dangerous game in which the stakes could not be higher.

I Feel Bad about My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Womanby Nora Ephron
"While very little in the book is meant to be taken seriously, it is clever enough to qualify as more than just an assemblage of one-liners. Whether you agree with her observations or not, Ephron's perspective as an admittedly high-maintenance, New York-dwelling, successful screenwriter will keep you entertained. She doesn't stop with necks, but takes on other afflictions (and a few delights) that mark this season of her life....These topics are laced with wry observations, told in an intimate style that makes Ephron seem like a close friend spilling details about her life." April Austin, The Christian Science Monitor (read the entire CSM review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice, and dry sense of humor, Nora Ephron shares with us her ups and downs in I Feel Bad About My Neck, a candid, hilarious look at women who are getting older and dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself.
The woman who brought us When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, and Bewitched, and the author of best sellers Heartburn, Scribble Scribble, and Crazy Salad, discusses everything — from how much she hates her purse to how much time she spends attempting to stop the clock: the hair dye, the treadmill, the lotions and creams that promise to slow the aging process but never do. Oh, and she can't stand the way her neck looks. But her dermatologist tells her there's no quick fix for that.
Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless parent. She recounts her anything-but-glamorous days as a White House intern during the JFK years ("I am probably the only young woman who ever worked in the Kennedy White House that the President did not make a pass at.") and shares how she fell in and out of love with Bill Clinton — from a distance, of course. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as a woman of a certain age.
Utterly courageous, wickedly funny, and unexpectedly moving in its truth telling, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a book of wisdom, advice, and laugh-out-loud moments, a scrumptious, irresistible treat.
"The honest truth is that it's sad to be over sixty,' concludes Nora Ephron in her sparkling new book about aging. With 15 essays in 160 pages, this collection is short, a thoughtful concession to pre- and post-menopausal women (who else is there?), like herself, who 'can't read a word on the pill bottle,' follow a thought to a conclusion, or remember the thought after not being able to read the pill bottle. Ephron drives the truth home like a nail in your soon-to-be-bought coffin: 'Plus, you can't wear a bikini.' But just as despair sets in, she admits to using 'quite a lot of bath oil... I'm as smooth as silk.' Yes, she is. This is aging lite — but that might be the answer. Besides, there's always Philip Roth for aging heavy.Ephron, in fact, offers a brief anecdote about Roth, in a chapter on cooking, concerning her friend Jane, who had a one-night stand, long ago, with the then 'up-and-coming' writer. He gave Jane a copy of his latest book. 'Take one on your way out,' he said. Conveniently, there was a box of them by the front door. Ephron refuses to analyze — one of her most refreshing qualities — and quickly moves on to Jane's cleri remoulade. Aging, according to Ephron, is one big descent — and who would argue? (Well, okay — but they'd lose the argument if they all got naked.) There it is, the steady spiraling down of everything: body and mind, breasts and balls, dragging one's self-respect behind them. Ephron's witty riffs on these distractions are a delightful antidote to the prevailing belief that everything can be held up with surgical scaffolding and the drugs of denial. Nothing, in the end, prevents the descent. While signs of mortality proliferate, Ephron offers a rebuttal of consequence: an intelligent, alert, entertaining perspective that does not take itself too seriously. (If you can't laugh, after all, you are already, technically speaking, dead.) She does, however, concede that hair maintenance — styling, dyeing, highlighting, blow-drying — is a serious matter, not to mention the expense. 'Once I picked up a copy of Vogue while having my hair done, and it cost me twenty thousand dollars. But you should see my teeth.' Digging deeper, she discovers that your filthy, bulging purse containing numerous things you don't need — and couldn't find if you did — is, 'in some absolutely horrible way, you.' Ephron doesn't shy away from the truth about sex either, and confesses, though with an appropriate amount of shame, that despite having been a White House intern in 1961, she did not have an affair with JFK. May Ephron, and her purse, endure so she can continue to tell us how it goes. Or, at least, where it went." Signature Review by Toni Bentley. Toni Bentley is the author, most recently, of Sisters of Salome and The Surrender, an Erotic Memoir. She is writing about Emma, Lady Hamilton, for the Eminent Lives series. Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"A disparate assortment of sharp and funny pieces revealing the private anguishes, quirks and passions of a woman on the brink of senior citizenhood." Kirkus Reviews
"[M]ost of these essays work as comic relief, tailor-made to the publications in which they first appeared...but executed with overall sharpness and panache. They prompt the wish that Ms. Ephron would let down her painstakingly colored and blown-dry hair a lot more often." Janet Maslin, the New York Times
"What is so refreshing about Ephron is that she doesn't take herself too seriously. Mid-complaint about her rising rent, she has the self-perspective to quip, 'And no one cared. Even I wouldn't have cared if I hadn't been me.'" Newsday
"Use this wryly romantic book as a guide to musing about mortality, or just curling up in your empty nest." O: Oprah magazine
"I Feel Bad About My Neck...is the kind of book you want to buy for all your baby-boomer girlfriends as they dread their next birthdays. Her little book of essays is indeed a gift — rich with laughs and comforting in its reflections on everything from hair dye...to reading glasses." Rocky Mountain News
"Ephron returns to her print roots with a new collection of essays reflecting the perspective of an aging — but still crackling sharp — cultural scribe." Boston Globe
The perfect holiday gift: a pair of hilarious books from the "wickedly witty and astute" Nora Ephron, a "crackling smart cultural scribe" (The Boston Globe) whose insights and observations have made her a heroine to women all over America.
Critics and readers embraced the nationwide best seller I Feel Bad About My Neck—"Marvelous" (The Washington Post); "Sparkling" (Ladies Home Journal); "Delightful" (The New York Review of Books)—and applauded Ephron for "mak[ing] the truth about life so funny" (The Sunday Times, London). In I Remember Nothing the beloved humorist returns with more razor-sharp reflections on growing older in the twenty-first century, along with those stories from the past she hasnt (yet) forgotten.
I Feel Bad About My Neck
and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman
With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice and dry sense of humor, Ephron shares with us her ups and downs in this wise, wonderful look at women of a certain age who are dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and everything in between.

Utterly courageous, unexpectedly moving, and laugh-out-loud funny, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a scrumptious, irresistible treat of a book.
I Remember Nothing
and Other Reflections
Ephron takes a cool, hard, hilarious look at the past, the present, and the future, writing about falling hard for a way of life ("Journalism: A Love Story") and breaking up even harder with the men in her life ("The D Word"); revealing the alarming evolution, a decade after she wrote and directed Youve Got Mail, of her relationship with her in-box ("The Six Stages of E-mail"); and asking the age-old question, which came first, the chicken soup or the cold? All the while, she gives voice to everything women have been thinking . . . but rarely acknowledging. Filled with insights and observations that instantly ring true—and could have come only from Nora Ephron—I Remember Nothing is pure joy.
"[Ephron] retains an uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are . . . Some things dont change. Its good to know that Ms. Ephrons wry, knowing X-ray vision is one of them." —The New York Times
"Nora Ephron has become timeless." —Los Angeles Times Book Review

Creating a Send menu
You can use the SendCommandMenu class to create a Send menu in your application. This class is a subclass of the SubMenu class and is designed to create a menu that represents a set of SendCommand objects. Each SendCommand object is represented in the Send menu by a SendCommandMenuItem object. When a BlackBerry device user clicks one of the Send menu items, the run() method of the associated SendCommand object is invoked.
When you create a SendCommandMenu object, you can provide either an array of SendCommandMenuItem objects or an array of SendCommand objects. You can specify both the ordering of the items in the menu, and what text appears as the label of the menu. For example, the default label is "Send," but you can provide different text that is appropriate for your application.
As an alternative to creating a Send menu, you can use the SendCommandScreen class to create a pop-up screen that displays SendCommand objects. For example, your application might contain a toolbar button called "Send", and when a user clicks this button, a list of available Send commands is displayed.
You can also create your own UI components to display SendCommand objects if neither SendCommandMenu or SendCommandScreen suit your needs. For example, you might create a drop-down list that contains SendCommand objects that a user can choose from.

By RICHARD SHAWSports writer
It's hard being number one. Being number one always means watching your back. It means everyone on your block as well as other peoples blocks are out to get you. It means you must live up to a reputation and one loss can change everything.
Never mind that Carbon High won the state championship last year and has been ranked number one in the state ever since the beginning of the season last year.
That just seems to make all the others try harder. They want to prove they can beat the top team.
It also means that often teams leave Carbon County unhappy and last week two teams from Region 10 did just that. In the course of two days the Dinos blasted out runs, showed some great defense and threw in some glib pitching to drub Wasatch 19-9 on Thursday and then whip Union 6-2 on Friday.
On a kind of leave from Region 8 for a few days, Carbon played their hearts out instead of taking time off from the usual path. These games meant little in the standings, but a lot to the young men who played the games.
Thursday's game was particularly unusual. This version of the Dino baseball team has had a propensity to let other teams break the ice and score on them early, and then as if solving a puzzle the Dinos pick the other team apart and win anyway.
In Thursdays game it was the other way around for awhile.
"That was a strange game," said coach Lane Herrick during the Friday contest with Union. "We got up by six runs in the first inning. By the end of the second inning they were ahead of us 9-6."
Carbon went on however to score six runs in the fourth and seven more in the fifth to wipe out any chances of the Wasps winning. In fact the 19-9 score also took away the last two innings of the game based on the ever present 10 run rule (a state rule that eliminated further play if one team is ahead of the other by 10 or more runs by the end of the fifth inning).
It also seems that different heros emerge each time this team plays. This time it was first baseman Jeff Anderson who came out as the man at the wheel. He had three hits, which included both a double and a home run. In his endeavor to hit the ball he drove in four runs. If Anderson was the captain of the ship on this day, then Blake Wilde was certainly first mate as he not only pitched but also had two doubles and drove in three runs in the process. And don't forget Jamal Lewis, either. He also had a homer to add to his average.
On the down side Carbon committed seven errors, by far the most in at least two seasons in a single game.
When Friday's game came with the Cougars from Roosevelt, no one was sure how the Dinos would respond. It was the first time they had to play two games in two days since the Montrose Tournament, and the slugfest the day before could have worn them out. However, by the time Union was able to score, Carbon was well ahead of their opponents and the Cougars never threatened the lead after that.
The first inning ended in double zeros and neither team was able to score. But in the second and third innings Carbon notched in two runs each making it 4-0 by the end of the third.
Union was finally able to get on the board times two in the fourth, but by that time it was all over as Carbon put up a five and and six on the scoreboard in the next two innings while pitcher Josh Greenwood rose to the occasion and shut down the Cougar offense by striking out eight Union batters.
Bats, were not as good as Thursdays performance, but they were still more than enough to bury the kids from the Roosevelt area. Jeff Jorgensen had a double, Matt Jewkes, the winning pitcher from the day before had a triple and Wilde became the skipper of the ship for a day as he belted out a home run.
Now it's back to the Region 8 grind with a game against Emery in Castle Dale this afternoon (Tuesday). The Spartans have an undefeated record in the region so far and appear to be the main threat to Carbon going undefeated in the rest of league play. So it will be an eastern Utah rivalry that will be relit at the ball diamond behind Emery High on Tuesday afternoon. And up for grabs will be the region title.

This is one of those times when getting it straight from the horse's mouth just seems right. In Dodgers first base coach Davey Lopes, you have someone who meets the criteria of gleaning insight into what exactly makes the Red Sox and Cardinals tick.
Lopes' credentials are unparalleled when it comes to weighing in/opining on the two World Series combatants. The East Providence native and La Salle Academy alumnus was part of a Los Angeles organization that recently got pushed aside by St. Louis in the National League Championship Series.
While Lopes openly admitted that it's tough to read too much into the brief three-game series Boston played at Dodger Stadium in late August – "They didn't even face our two top starters" in Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw – he did see enough to arrive at a logical conclusion: The 2013 Fall Classic has an excellent chance to go the distance.
"Both teams are dominated with pitching, and that's the name of the game. They've got good quality starters and relievers. Plus, both teams like to work the count and have the pitchers throw a lot of pitches," said Lopes when reached at his California address Tuesday. "The one difference that could come into play is that the Red Sox have more speed, but the Cardinals do an excellent job of holding runners on. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.
"This is a very good matchup because you have two well-balanced clubs," Lopes continued. "You would think that there are going to be plenty of low-scoring games because of the pitching, but you never know."
Talking about baserunning is a topic Lopes is quite comfortable with. As the Dodgers' first base coach, his primary calling card is to decipher and pick up how quickly a pitcher releases the ball to the plate. After seeing the Cardinals for an extensive stretch, Lopes is well aware that the members of the St. Louis pitching staff are a conscientious bunch when the opposition is lurking on the basepaths.
"Their starters and relievers are good and quick to the plate, so that can kind of neutralize speed. Both teams can go from first to third, but the Red Sox have two premier base stealers in (Shane) Victorino and (Jacoby) Ellsbury. When you have guys who can steal second and third, it makes the pitchers think a little bit more. They have a certain impact because they can cause havoc," noted the 68-year-old Lopes, who has spent more than four decades in Major League Baseball. "Conversely, St. Louis has the best catcher in baseball in Yadier Molina. He's the guy who makes that team go. He controls the whole game. Not only in terms of pitching, but during the course of the game, you'll see him move the outfielders around."
The Red Sox hitters earned major points by hanging tough with Detroit's vaunted starting pitchers during the ALCS before taking full advantage of the Tigers' shaky relief corps. As Lopes noted, such a strategy may be mitigated given the luxury of strong bullpen arms that Cardinals manager Mike Matheny has at his beck and call.
"I'm sure Boston is going to approach it the same way hitting-wise, but if St. Louis has to go to the bullpen, they have guys who are very suited to do the job," Lopes pointed out. "They have a number of guys you need to get past before reaching (recently appointed closer Trevor) Rosenthal."
Lopes was asked to put himself in Boston manager John Farrell's shoes about the decision that awaits him once the World Series shifts to St. Louis this weekend. Without the services of the designated hitter in a National League ballpark, Farrell will have to decide whether to trot out David Ortiz at first base or stick with incumbent Mike Napoli.
Either way, the Red Sox' offense will be devoid of a significant run producer at the start of the games inside Busch Stadium.
"They're both big bats," Lopes acknowledged. "If they go strictly on the fact that all of the Cardinals' starters are right-handed, then they'll go with Ortiz at first. It's a tough choice because David always seems to come up with the big hit at the right time and does his part in keeping that club loose, but I'm sure Mr. Farrell will make the right decision."
One player who Lopes will closely monitor is Victorino. The two enjoyed a strong player-coach relationship for several years in Philadelphia.
"I wish him the best of luck, " Lopes said prior to divulging his "what were you doing?" when Victorino struck for a grand slam that in essence sealed the Tigers' ALCS fate. "It was kind of weird. I was watching something else [Saturday night] and I happened to flip the channel and there it was. The ball was on its way to the plate and then he hits a home run. I never saw him get so animated after hitting a homer. Obviously, there was a lot of emotion, but it was great to see."
Lopes politely refrained from saying which team would win the World Series and in how many games. From his perch, it's as close as the flip of a coin.
"I just know that they're both pretty good," he remarked. "You could pick either team and no one would say that you're crazy."

8/31 Cubs lineup
David DeJesus, who was 3-for-4 with two walks on Thursday, gets Friday off in the Cubs' series opener against the Giants. He's never faced San Francisco starter Madison Bumgarner, but Joe Mather has. Here's the lineup:
Mather RF
Vitters 3B
Rizzo 1B
Soriano LF
Castro SS
Castillo C
Jackson CF
Barney 2B
Volstad P
— Carrie Muskat
5 Comments
Mather and Vitters???? Good luck with that starting line-up.
I can't say I care if DeJesus remains a Cub or not as he is just a middle of the road, non-impact player wtih spurts of offense BUT….C'mon… he deserves to follow such a great offensive day with an opportunity to CONTINUE a good feeling. I feel bad for DeJesus today and can't imagine what he is thinking. Unless some physical reason for riding the bench while Joe "Ricky Henderson" lMather leads off. Vitters? He still needs to play so why not? He sucks right now I know but I don't think Valbuena's occassional offense is fooling anybody nor his random offense. Next season, If Valbuena gets significant playing time at 3B and DeJesus is counted on for run production then for sure it will be longer than imagined to turn the organization around but hey good things come to those that wait…and wait…and wait…sigh.
Will wonders never cease?!
Hahaha, stolen base Mater? Check!
Not to worry Mamma, it happens a lot, one makes a comment regarding a player NOT being good enough so to speak and that player surely will do something to surprise. A stolen base today does nothing to make you look foolish. Accidents happen. You are correct regarding Mather. Besides, I don't think there are any Mather fans out there that take offense. Hard to tell if ibrewer is a fan or just got a kick out of Mather miraculously stealing a base???

The bully hitch was installed for the sole purpose of protecting our brand new vehicle from a rear-end impact. Sure enough, four weeks later, someone rear-ended the car. The hitch was crushed and inflicted extreme damage to the bmw responsible for the accident to include a dual airbag deployment in the bmw. The bmw then made contact with our bumper only after a majority of the energy was dissipated. Without this extra line of defense I fear that my family would have sustained serious injury.

On the silver screen, Zoe Saldana undergoes remarkable transformations galore--from a bad-girl ballerina in Center Stage to a part of the uniformed crew in Star Trek to having otherworldly blue skin in Avatar--but when it comes to the red carpet, this leading lady is invariably and consistently chic. She never shies away from a big fashion moment and always manages do it in an interesting, refreshing way. After all, who else would dare to wear a ruffled, purple ombre Givenchy Haute Couture gown to the Oscars, a night when most attendees opt for "safe" and simple looks? Thanks to moves like these--plus an enviable wardrobe and fashion-forward sensibilities--it's no wonder that Saldana's captured the hearts of fashion aficionados everywhere. Whether she's working a sleek column dress in a vibrant hue or stepping out in a playful print mini dress, the actress' repertoire of ensembles is consistently on-point, which is why we couldn't be more pleased to showcase some of her most noteworthy fashion moments in today's Style Spotlight.
While Saldana's off-duty ensembles generally consist of wardrobe staples like slim jeans and chic blouses, she truly commits to creating incredible red-carpet outfits. "Zoe really likes to make it fun," says Petra Flannery, Saldana's stylist. "We have long fittings and she really puts in the time to find the right look for an event." Lately it seems that Saldana has a penchant for bold, of-the-moment prints, as evidenced by the floral gown she wore to a party celebrating the premiere of The Tree of Life at the Cannes Film Festival last week (large image at left). The silk organza cap-sleeve dress--from Vionnet's F/W 11 collection--is absolutely stunning, and we appreciate the way she ramped up the floor-grazing frock by incorporating a multi-colored striped belt (also from the Parisian fashion house's F/W 11 collection). "Though there was a fullness to the dress, there was a sheerness to it too, which makes it very feminine and soft" says Flannery. We simply appreciate the fact that this look has a hint of whimsy and a delicate, almost vintage vibe, which makes it perfect for a summer evening soiree. A month earlier, Saldana opted for another fabulously patterned dress--this time Isabel Marant's Jews Navajo Print Ruffle Dress ($1170, 212.219.2284) from the S/S 11 collection--for a cocktails and shopping event benefiting the Children's Defense Fund at the Coach store in Santa Monica (top row, far right). The graphic print and tiered, pleated skirt make for a fun, party-perfect dress. Plus, we like that Saldana let the print shine by sticking to simple accessories, including a pair of black Alexander McQueen ankle-strap pumps and a red Coach clutch.
Though Saldana's statement-making selections are certainly impressive, her approach to minimalism is equally noteworthy. Case in point: the Calvin Klein Collection Strapless Crepe Dress (price upon request, 212.292.9000) she wore to a Met Gala after-party earlier this month (top row, center). The frock's refreshing citrus hue makes the column silhouette more of-the-moment, while her decision to accessorize with Calvin Klein Collection's Ivory Stingray Clutch ($1875, 212.292.9000) and just one spiked choker from Platt Boutique Jewelry resulted in a strikingly chic and refined finish. Additionally, we appreciate the way our style muse opted for an understated-yet-nuanced look when she wore a nude leather J. Mendel dress with Brian Atwood peep-toe heels at a Golden Globes after-party at Cecconi's in Los Angeles earlier this year (bottom row, far right). The bodice and drape-detailed skirt are quite interesting, but the neutral hue keeps the dress from feeling too fussy. It's yet another testament to Saldana's ability to pick pieces that accentuate her frame without overwhelming it. Or, as Flannery says, "Zoe wears the dress, the dress doesn't wear her."
It's also worth mentioning that Saldana loves to infuse her outfits with architecturally intriguing pieces. We first noticed her predilection for such accents with the aforementioned Isabel Marant (pleats) and J. Mendel (draping) dresses, and then again at the John Varvatos 8th Annual Stuart House Benefit in Los Angeles three months ago (bottom row, center). The actress selected Diane von Furstenberg's Patisserie Leather Jacket ($845), which features a draped front and folded waterfall detailing. To further elevate her Euro-cool red-carpet mix, Saldana accessorized with Diane von Furstenberg's Stephanie Medium Hobo Bag ($975) and a pair of leopard-print Brian Atwood pumps. All in all, we think Carine Roitfeld would approve!
If Saldana's impeccable sense of style strikes your fancy, it's time to start celebrating because approximating her signature flair is a cinch! To start, we recommend seeking out a print maxi dress, like Topshop's Limited Edition Floral Seam Detail Maxi Dress ($310) or Lipsy's Lace Trim Floral Maxi Dress ($64); both options will give you an easy-breezy look that's perfect for the summer months ahead! If you applaud the way Saldana accented her floor-grazing frock with a striped belt, you'll want to get your hands on Free People's Festival Stripe Waist Belt ($38) pronto. For those of you who prefer our style subject's print mini dress instead, we think Kenny's Penny Pockets Print Dress ($253) would look smart worn with minimal accessories and a pair of basic heels; Steve Madden's Cougarr Ankle-Strap Pumps ($100) should do the trick. Or you could go for Kenneth Cole New York's Ruffle Front Dress ($129), which has an equally playful print and nearly identical tiered skirt.
If Saldana's more minimalist ensembles caught your eye, we have just the pieces to help you achieve similarly savvy looks, starting with Haute Hippie's Mermaid Long Dress ($495). We adore its body-grazing silhouette and lovely lemon hue, as it reminds us of Saldana's gorgeous Calvin Klein Collection pick. Of course, if yellow doesn't work for you, try Susan Monaco's Strapless Blouson Long Dress ($198) in Fiji; the striking ocean blue color will certainly garner rave reviews from all your friends! Add Aldo's Cumberland Clutch ($40) and you'll be ready for your next fancy fete. Finally, if you desire our spotlighted subject's slightly more casual attire, be sure to snag Sparkle & Fade's Faux Leather Bomber Jacket ($99), The Sak's Albion Crochet Bucket Bag ($59), and Forever 21's Smoke Leopard Heels ($25). These wardrobe staples are sure to keep you looking chic and sophisticated at all times!--Jessica Baker

When I was 16 years old I had my knee operated on. That was the first of many operations on that knee and I'm scheduled for two more. I'd had pain in that knee for years but my mom kept telling me it was "just growing pains." Does anyone else know that overused expression?
Well it wasn't growing pains. As young as I was when I first recall the pain (age 11), I didn't think growing pains should hurt that much! My knee use to lock into place and I would be unable to move. Literally. I'd be walking to school and bam! Excrutiating pain and locked into place. I'd have to wiggle and jiggle and shake my leg, crying the whole time, until it released enough to allow some movement. My mom continued to claim growing pains as the culprit. Finally at age 16 I took matters into my own hands and made a doctor's appointment on my own. Before I knew it I was at a specialist and then whisked into hospital for surgery.
Then came the fun of being on crutches and only going to school part-time. Because we had no school buses and I couldn't walk the few miles to our High School, it was arranged that I'd be transported by taxi. I only had to attend half-days and I remember I would come home exhausted.
It took a lot of physiotherapy to get back to any semblance of easier movement and walking but the time passed and I did it.
What major surgeries or health problems did you experience as a child? Or were you lucky enough to get through relatively unscathed? I was always a sickly kid and my knee problems were just the tip of the iceberg.

That must be painful for you. I'm so lucky enough back in my childhood I never tried any surgeries at all and I hope for the days to come it would be still the same. I know you suffered a lot on that time and you never give up and I know God is always at your side. Keep on striving!

Pomegranates Season and Facts
In Season: Pomegranates
Like us on Facebook
Depending on the harvest, pomegranate season typically runs from October through February. When selecting pomegranates, look for a ripe, deep-colored fruit with a red to reddish-brown outer rind that is heavy for its size. The fruit, when stored in the refrigerator, will last three to four weeks unopened. But once seeded, pomegranates should be enjoyed within two to three days; they can also be frozen in a sealed bag for up to a year.Pomegranates don't offer the most instant gratification of all fruits. Their tough, leathery shells open to reveal clusters of seeds, or arils, that are plump with juice — but covered in inedible pith. Since they can be a mess to seed, the best way to open a pomegranate is to submerge it in water to avoid splattering juice. Aside from snacking on the satisfying seeds out of hand, you can also:
- Add bites of tart, juicy crunch into a dip of mango guacamole.
- Enjoy eating the seeds in a persimmon or butternut squash salad.
- Garnish soups with pomegranate seeds to counterbalance texture.
- Highlight the fruit's brightness in a sweet-sour sauce with chicken.
- Pucker up to a seasonally appropriate mistletoe mojito.
What are the different ways you enjoy them?

Song Video
It was on a starry night
When the hills were bright,
Earth lay sleeping, sleeping calm and still.
Then in a cattle shed,
In a manger bed,
A boy was born, King of all the world.
And all the angels sang for Him,
The bells of heaven rang for Him,
For a boy was born, King of all the world.
And all the angels sang for Him,
The bells of heaven rang for Him,
For a boy was born, King of all the world.
Soon the shepherds came that way
Where the baby lay
And were kneeling, kneeling by His side.
And their hearts believed again
For the peace of men,
For a boy was born, King of all the world.

Well mostly that's a problem with linking which got better in KDE3, but it can get EVEN better with prelinking (read Ralinx' KDE3 compile PET to learn about it).
But KDE2 was slow, KDE 2.2.x was better, KDE3 is Great. <-- without prelinking
KDE2 still slow(not avail.), KDE2.2.x was great, KDE3 is AMAZING <-- With Prelinking

The Michigan Department of Education requires a minimum of 100 clock hours of field experience prior to the student teaching placement. It is the belief of Siena's Teacher Education Program that the more experience students have prior to student teaching, the greater their chances of a successful student teaching placement.
As a result, it is Siena's policy that students will log 250 clock hours of field experience prior to the student teaching placement. These hours are to be logged in Appendix B of the Teacher Education student handbook and appropriate signatures are needed to verify these hours.
Prior to actually participating in the student teaching experience, students will be required to submit this documentation. Most of the needed 250 hours of field experience are built into the coursework within the Professional Education Sequence and the Elementary Planned Minor. Students will need to obtain on their own any additional hours needed to make the 250-hour requirement. Field experience done while attending other teacher education institutions may be used for these hours, provided they are documented with the appropriate signatures.
For more details about the field experience requirements, click here.

Smarting from their loss to Wasatch, the Lady Dinos took the floor Tuesday night in a non-region match with Grand. Grand is currently ranked fourth in all of 2A and has had no intetion of being beat by Carbon. It shaped up as a great exhibition with the Dinos finally taking the match in five sets.
The Dinos took the first two 25-20 and 25-12. The Red Devils pulled out the next two 25-23 and 25-23 before the Lady Dinos ended it with a 15-12 victory.
Carbon came out tentative in game one and let Grand stay in in with service errors. After the win, the Dino confidence soared and they dominated game two as they executed their plays and made their serves. Set three saw Carbon hit a wall and Grand took advantage of it and edged them out for the victory.
In the fourth set the Dinos fell in a deep hole early, but climbed back out and tied it at 12. They were not able to put together a scoring run and lost the lead again at 17. Even though it stayed anyone's set until the end, the Devils force a fifth and final set. Carbon's Sara Potts took control of things and was all over the court, rallying her team and they responded and stepped up to take the win.
Potts finished with 19 kills and Amanda Freestone added 12. Kacylia Ivory pulled 19 digs. Shaylie Jones dished out 24 assists and Alexis Oliver had 19 to solidify the win.
Carbon senior Ivory was all smiles as she came off the court,"We needed that! It helped us a lot. It helps us get ready for state and get our enthusiasm up for Friday."
"We needed that win," remarked Coach Bob Potts as he echoed the sentiment expressed by Ivory, "Moab is a tough team and ranked fourth, so it was a good win. I was happy we almost pulled off the win in game four after being down so far. We changed a lot this week, Both our offense and defense was different. I think the new defense really made a difference tonight. It was good prep for what is to came. If we play like we did in our first two games tonight, we will have no trouble beating North Sanpete Friday morning."
Carbon faces the Hawks at the Mackay Center on the UVU campus in Orem at 8:00 am Friday morning in the first round of the state tournament.

strong, flowing, challenging
It is a journey in itself. Athletic and dynamic, it is a high intensity strenuous workout, where I shed not only sweat and toxins but also other things that weigh me down in life. Emotions flow, mental obstacles rise and fall, as my heart of compassion opens. I step away feeling lighter, stronger, and clearer. I am on my yogic path.
I want to change people's lives: spiritually, mentally and physically.
I am passionate about helping those less fortunate.

CANTON St. Lawrence County legislators officially asked at a special meeting Monday for home rule legislation that would allow them to raise the local sales tax and pledged their intent to use the additional revenue for property tax relief.
Legislators want to increase the county sales tax from 3 to 4 percent, bringing the total with the states 4 percent to 8 percent. To gain the support of state Sens. Joseph A. Griffo, R-Utica, and Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, the county developed a five-year plan showing how it could drop property taxes with the additional sales tax.
State senators had encouraged legislators to reach consensus with towns and villages on the use of additional sales tax, but unanimity may not be possible.
We wont get to bring everybody along, Legislative Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, said. Thats the reality.
The present distribution is for the county to keep half of what it collects in sales tax and allot what is left to towns and villages after the city of Ogdensburg takes a cut of 6.4 percent. Some town and village leaders want more than the 10 percent offered by the county of the additional revenue.
That would alter the property tax decrease proposed by the county, which would drop its levy 14.3 percent in the first year, and hold to an increase of 2 percent in the next four years.
It falls apart very quickly if we give more of these funds away, said Finance Committee Chairman Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction.
The state Comptrollers Office which is finalizing the results of a recent audit of the countys books is warning the plan may go too far in holding the line on taxes.
It will recommend the county develop a fund balance policy and questioned whether the plan will allow the county to replenish its fund balance effectively at about $1.5 million and stop its annual borrowing to deal with cash flow problems, Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said.
Comptroller representatives who met Friday with Ms. St. Hilaire and Treasurer Kevin M. Felt were also concerned that deferment of the countys capital needs including repair of leaking roofs would cost them more in the long run, she said.
If sales tax is increased, there is no guarantee it will go to reduce property taxes.
I think its the intent of this board, Mr. Morrill said. There is nothing binding on future boards. There is nothing in the law that says the plan has to be followed.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Jornet only participated in a few World Cup competitions last year as other alpine projects took precedence. Today's victory, however, clearly demonstrates his competitive strength.
The opening race of the ISMF Ski Mountaineering World Cup 2014 was marked by heavy wintry conditions with fresh snow and bad weather. However, thanks to perfect preparation by their Swiss hosts, the world's top ski mountaineers were sent off on a fast, selective alpine route.
After a close, turbulent start, Jornet was able to take the lead and keep the other athletes at bay. Even with the pursuers close behind, he managed to finish with a small advantage and take the first gold medal of the season thanks to a good line and a lot of courage on the last descent.
Tomorrow Jornet will also compete in the Vertical Race, which is the final competition of the first World Cup event in Switzerland.

CANTON St. Lawrence County is applying to the state for up to $50,000 to study consolidation of dispatching services.
If funding through the Department of States Local Government Efficiency Grant is successful, the county in partnership with Ogdensburg, Gouverneur and Potsdam could look at whether it makes economic and logistical sense to pool police and emergency dispatching into a central system.
If centralization appeared to offer advantages, other communities could be brought in.
If you dont study it, how do you know? Mayor Ronald P. McDougall said.
911 dispatching is done through the emergency services center in Canton but municipalities with police departments also have dispatchers to handle calls.
The study would look at combining all dispatch at one location. It would consider technical and telecommunication questions, current equipment and future needs, space, and how employees would be handled.
Thats probably the most difficult part, said Heidi J. Ames, a county planner who wrote the grant in conjunction with the Office of Emergency Services and the Sheriffs Department.
The study would most likely be put out to competitive bid.
Next generation 911 has a variety of technical requirements. We really need a specialist, Mrs. Ames said. The studys going to look at the big picture.
The county would also look at models set by others which have consolidated in recent years, such as Oneida and Schnectady counties, Mrs. Ames said.
The state has made a recent drive to standardize emergency response to encourage everyone to have matching systems, she said.

My Tent arrived last week and am setting up to seam seal this weekend. A couple of questions if I may?1. Henry advises using silicone 1 thinned down; is this better/worse than using silnet seam sealer? Aplplication, longevity, shininess etc....2. I have seen vids of people using their fingers,, brushes, towels etc. none of this seems to provide a PROFESSIONAL LOOKING JOB. any advice? (I am builder and am a stickler for neatness and appearance).3. Should I apply one heavy coat or two light coats?4. Any special areas, prone areas to pay special attention to on the SS1?And finally any additonal advice for things I have not thought of?Thanks in advance for all OPINIONS!
I am sealing a shelter this weekend. Many on BPL reccommend Permatex Flowable Silicone for windshields; not sure of the exact name. Bought a tube at the auto parts store. Do a BPL search for Permatex and there are several threads. This should be easier to apply and seal better.
Use masking tape to make neat edge? Definitely OCD
I've followed Henry's instructions had very nice, neat results and my hand writing is terrible, use the foam brush. Doesn't take a smearing technique like Seam sealer seems to get applied. No leaks on my Squall after almost 8 years now, you can hardly see the sealant. Use fresh silicone and proper paint thinner, that thicker thinner is for the birds. When dried, does not stick to itself like seam sealer, which also seems to have a limited adhesion life after being stuffed "X" amount of times I've noticed on my BD Hilight or it may just be the BD material.Duane
Two words: Foam brush.We follow up with a paper towel.http://www.tarptent.com/ttvideos.html#seamseal-H
I've used Henry's method as well as the Permatex stuff. The seams on my Rainbow (sealed Henry style), are watertight and the silicone isn't visible except upon very close inspection. The seams on my Duomid (sealed with flowable Permatex) are very excellently sealed, but the appearance is somewhat messy, despite the very thin coating.I've found a cheap paint brush worked better than the foam brush. I felt like the bristles helped get the silicone into the seams better. Either will work just fine though, especially because the seams on an SS1 are felled and aren't difficult to seal.
I am waiting on a good day (without SNOW!) here so I can seal my new SS2, but I have done four or five TT's of mine and a couple for my BIL and used Henry's method for all of them. I use a foam brush and like to go inside and hit the big seams from below too. I don't know if I need to but since I have it made up why not. I have never had one of mine leak and they have been in some epic rain and even snow storms.More snow due Sunday...
> Use fresh silicone and proper paint thinner, that thicker thinner is for the birds.The thinner the basic sealant the better.I use several thin ones (eg Permatex) without dilution. Works much better.Cheers
Thanks for the reminder gents as I need to seal my Stratosphire 1, I have it 14 months and have not got around to it yet.The last tent I sealed was a Scarp 3 years ago and made a dogs dinner of it.
Have you used it without sealing? Did it leak?I never seal a tent and have never noticed any leaking.Except, for example, where I had a velcro tie-down.With seams, the water just flows down the seam.
I have found using a foam brush gives me the best aesthetic results. It is very easy to control the width of application.I've used both Permatex and thinned down silicone. Personally, I prefer the thinned down silicone for aesthetic reasons, but if I want bomber, Permatex is my sealant of choice.
Hi Jerry,I have used it for 7 nights so far and it was raining heavily for 2 of them, I did notice a few drips but could of been condensation.I have 3 other shelters I use so don't use the Ss1 often.Cheers,Stephen
I like to use silicone not only on the main seams but also the stitching at anchor points and guy line points. This is especially true with Silnylon since it stretches under pressure and when wet. The sealing of the tie down points etc will strengthen these points.But most importantly, have fun!Rodney M
Before I sealed my Rainbow, I was in some prolonged rain that leaked through a couple of seams I didn't pay enough attention to on the first round. It was definitely leakage, not condensation, because the other seams were fine, and I could see the water running down the fabric from the poorly done section.

A horsehead pump with compression station in the background have become familiar sites in the desert lands of Carbon County. Property taxes and mineral lease royalties are vital to the county economy.
Energy companies again dominate the list of the top ten property tax payers in Carbon County in 2010.
Nine of the ten companies making this year's list are directly involved in energy production, while Union Pacific is closely linked as a major transporter of coal.
The combined contribution of the ten to schools and other local government services this year was $11,112,273, according to figures provided by the County Treasurer's Office. That's a little more than half of all property tax charges of $22,023,484.
Heading the list again this year is Conoco-Phillips, which has extensive natural gas and coal bed methane facilities in the county. The company's assessed value of $385,653,315 and tax amount of $3,757,203 are more than twice that of Anadarko's $147,551,646 value and $1,507,983 tax.
Impressive as those numbers are, they are lower than 2008 for about half of the major taxpayers. Of the companies appearing in the top ten for both 2008 and 2010, five of them have reduced valuations and taxes: Conoco-Phillips, Anadarko, Bill Barrett, Canyon Fuel and Questar Pipeline.
These assessments are done by the state according to a formula that includes many factors.
In addition to property taxes, fossil fuel energy producers on public lands also pay mineral lease royalties, which amount to additional millions in revenue for the county.

He says, "Every Christmas morning, I can feel it, and it's a good feeling to know my efforts helped dozens of other kids have a good Christmas."
He's now working with the Town of Hamburg Youth Bureau to get all the toys collected at Jimmies Pizza to local children.
Town of Hamburg Director of Youth, Recreation and Senior Services Mark Denecke says "With the economy the way it is, more and more we see families in need. We have a kids closet with clothing.... more and more people are taking advantage of that with slightly used clothing we have, and the toy program participation has increased. And there are qualifiers so that people truly are in need when they apply for the program."
You can help by giving a new, unwrapped toy for a boy or girl of any age. Jimmie's Pizza is also offering 25% off a large pizza with a donation of any toy. The Town is also collecting toys at Town Hall, the Hamburg Receation Office, the Hamburg Senior Services Office, the Hamburg Fitness Center, and the Hamburg Ice Arena.
In Hamburg, you can apply for toys by calling the Town of Hamburg Youth program at 826-2226 or the recreation office at 646-5145.
The town is working with the Western New York Holiday Partnership through the United Way.
This program includes other parts of Western New York.
You can contact the United Way about the program by calling 211 or 888-696-9211.
