Hey Dallas - I think I found another relationship to be involved with. I wrote this little email note to my sweetheart today. No fooling - this is not even one of those "glurge" chain letters. It just came out of me.
Then for some reason, a light went on in my head .
Good morning my dear friend.
I want to share with you a story about a little girl who knew you, and loved you. Maybe you'll remember her, maybe you won't? I hope you do.
She always wanted you to look her in the eyes...she always awaited for your nod of approval - for the gift of love that only you, sweetheart, could give. She knew that you really could love her, too, as many times as she's given you her love. Maybe now is her chance?
Sometimes you were too busy to stop and notice her tug at your leg early in the morning. She waited patiently while you made one phone call, and then another, and then another. She quietly sat just behind you, and watched you cry. Next time, she softly touched your arm hoping to get your attention. She knew how busy you were, and her feelings weren't even hurt when you waved an open hand that said "in a minute my darling...I'll play with you in a minute", yet no words were spoken. You lit another cigarette and impatiently blew out that first puff of smoke.
She didn't mind that you turned on CNN to learn about what might be happening all over the world. In the early afternoon, she rubbed your tummy in hopes of letting you know that she was as hungry as you were. But you didn't give her your attention. You never fed her. She just patiently stepped back behind you, knowing your smile and love would soon grace her.
"Do you love me? Will you take my hand and walk with me?" Her words were soft whispers that you didn't seem to want to hear.
She watched as you walked out the door, and she wasn't hurt that you didn't say goodbye, or give her a little peck on the cheek. She knew that you'd be back soon and both of you could play together - even it was only for a few minutes - maybe a half hour. She knew that you were always so busy, and she respected that. Maybe you would take some time to sit down and relax with her - to talk with her about little things that maybe weren't important to you, but they meant the world to her. She decided to get dressed in her best peach dress and her white dress-up hat because she wanted you to notice how beautiful she looked, and how proud she would make you when you got back.
But when you got home, she watched as you made yet more phone calls, then peck away at your computer for a couple hours, while CNN's headlines repeated in the background on the TV. She watched you smoke another cigarette as tears filled your eyes. She realized you were tired when you passed-out on your bed in the middle of the afternoon. She took off her pretty hat and shiny black shoes to lay beside you. She wrapped her loving arms around you and embraced you with a smile. She gave you every ounce of love within her and was so proud to be a part of your life.
Nighttime found you in the same place where you woke up. She watched you snuff out your last cigarette, sip your last swallow, then go to the bathroom, and lay down in your bed. It was time for her to go to bed, too.
She laid down, and in her heart of hearts, she knew that you loved her. Of course she loved you as best as she could, and she would wake up again hoping that you would want to play with her and give her your love. She closed her eyes and happily envisioned dreams of both of you walking together in the park, holding hands and smiling. She closed her joyful eyes that would never again open wide.
She died in her sleep.
My dearest, it took me a long time to learn how to love that little girl with all my heart. For so many years, I never paid attention to her soft touches, the sometimes crooked little smile that always said "I love you" on her face, and those wide and innocent eyes that seemed to absorb the whole universe like a sponge. Sometimes I wished, even still, that I could have her back in my life, too, after she passed away. Sometimes I still ask myself, "What could I have done differently that would have made her life a better place for the short time she was here with me? Did I do my best?"
It took years of practice, and looking into the mirror, and growing up enough to learn that nothing in my life was more important than what that little girl could offer me. Only then, did I learn to see her standing right beside me. Only after I learned how to lose what I thought was what made me "me", but I learned that was my inability to be honest with myself. I really wasn't honest with "me". And when I let die that part inside me that always seemed to hurt so bad - that lonely aching in my heart that nothing ever seemed to take away - that lonliness such as few know - THEN I was able to hold her hand and have her with me, and learn how to love her in return.
Sometimes I think about her fragile spirit, and I'm reminded of the good things she brought me, sometimes unexpectedly, but always given with her smile and the best of her love.
I think there was a time when I saw you give her your attention. But I only saw it once. And when you did, I smiled a big smile inside and out.
In case you forgot her name, she is today.
Yours always - especially right now!
Here we go again - I just found out that my relationship with sobriety has given me yet another relationship: today.

|Early Voting Totals 'Brisk;' Election Tomorrow
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 04 November 2013 07:17
Today is the day between—the day of no voting before tomorrow's municipal election. By mid-day Friday, 1100 voters had cast ballots at the Commissioners meeting room—the early voting poll for all of Watauga County, and voters still cast ballots Saturday until 1. It will be the first election since disputes arose between
the Watauga Commission and Boone Town Council over the Old Watauga High School property and other development issues, leading to punitive action on sales tax distribution and investigation into lawsuits on both sides. Those controversies and a host of issues in a number of High Country towns may be causing a spike interest in the local races, plus the competitiveness of races for Mayor of Boone, where long time Mayor Loretta Clawson is stepping down, and a competitive race in Blowing Rock have also spiked interest. And in Boone, an active write-in mayoral race is worth watching, especially in vote totals from ASU, as a senior there is running as a write-in. Only one town's races are uncontested—that in the Seven Devils Town Council race. Tomorrow, polls will open at 6:30 a.m. and stay open until the last voter in line at 7:30 p.m. casts their ballot. Note that Monday at 5 p.m. is the deadline to return absentee ballots.
The mayor's term in Blowing Rock the mayoral term is two years while Boone's Mayor wins a four year term. In all of the municipalities, the top two vote-getters in the town council races will serve four-year terms, while the third-place finishers will serve two-year terms. Seven Devils and Beech Mountain councils choose the mayor and vice mayor/mayor pro tem from within the council by the council members.
Voters will cast their ballots at a single polling place in Beech Mountain, Blowing Rock and Seven Devils, but in Boone, eight precinct polling places will be open—not all of the eight precincts are fully located within the Boone town limits, so if you have any voting questions, today may be a good day to ask—call the Watauga County Board of Elections at (828) 265-8061 for assistance.
Voting takes place in Watauga at:
Buckeye Recreation Center in Beech Mountain
Blowing Rock Town Hall in Blowing Rock
For Boone voters:
Blue Ridge; Laurel Fork Baptist Church
Boone 1; Watauga County Administration Building
Boone 2; Legends on the ASU campus
Brushy Fork; Oak Grove Baptist Church
Boone 3; Agricultural Conference Center
New River 1; Boone Town Hall Council Chambers
New River 2; Three Forks Baptist Association
New River 3; Mutton Crossing
Seven Devils; Seven Devils Town Hall
Ashe County has municipal elections for the towns of Jefferson, West Jefferson and Lansing, while Avery voters cast ballots for candidates in Banner Elk, Crossnore, Elk Park, Grandfather Village, Newland and Sugar Mountain.

The two dueled on the speedway's enormous high-definition video board, which at 200 feet wide by 80 feet tall, is currently the largest in the world, though some other screen is sure to take the title away soon.
Bralley isn't a complete novice at racing nor a video game-only expert. He also drives a Chevy in the Limited Late Model division at Hickory Motor Speedway up 321 from Charlotte. Bralley finished ninth in the series this year. He beat seven other gamers in a preliminary series earlier in the day to win a shot at Keselowski.
Keselowski, the current Sprint Cup points leader, presented Bralley with a trophy after suffering the loss. NASCAR's championship series movies to Talladega this weekend with Keselowski in front by five points over five-time series champion Jimmie Johnson.

Park City Fly Fishing
Are you a seasoned angler thinking about the next place to go fly fishing? Perhaps you have never tried it before, but you want to test the waters and just have some fun with the whole family. Maybe you just watched a rerun of Robert Redford's great movie "A River Runs through it". Whatever the reason, now is a great time to get out the fishing equipment and go fly fishing, and the rivers and streams a short drive from Park City Peaks hotel offer something for everyone.
If you are a veteran angler then you know all about how relaxing and engaging trying to catch an elusive trout or energetic bass can be using a fly rod. There is something special about spending a day out casting be it on a small mountain stream, rushing river or your favorite lake.
As summer is not quite here yet, the weather is just perfect and not too hot for outdoor activities. Park City offers many different options to satisfy everyone. If you don't have your own stuff, don't worry. Rental options are conveniently available for you in all shapes and sizes. There are many different places that offer guided tours, professional hands-on support, and specialists who are ready to answer every question you may have. Check out some of the places to go for fly fishing below.

Sorting, trashing, packing, and endless weeding. After ten years in this place we are moving on: if the place sells. I am sorting assorted drawers that have been a convenient dumping ground for who knows what or why. Closets and cupboards are stuffed. Bookcases are triple stacked. Will this sorting, trashing, and packing ever be done? So far, I have packed 26 boxes of stuff to keep, but will not be needed till after we actually move. God only knows how many more boxes to do at present. A final packing, at moving time, will be an absolute nightmare. Maybe we'll win the lottery or Publisher's Clearing House and can have someone else to that packing.
And lest we forget the outdoors. There are 13 flower beds to be weeded and barked. Plus a stone and brick walkway that has weeds growing between the stones. I got that done today … now I just need to pour vinegar between all those cracks. Brother Bill solved the problem of two of the flower beds by ripping them out and planting grass. He did the same with one of the raised vegetable beds; but turned around to re-creat another veggie bed that he had originally ripped out last year. Where else could he dump all that dirt? He loves me, I'm sure, but like is another matter when it comes to my landscaping habits.
Meanwhile he is putting books on Alibris as fast as possible. So far he has described, inventoried, and packed about 20 boxes of books. We sure hope some of them sell! They will be the last things we put in the storage locker we rented last week. And let us not forget, we need to finish packing away non-essentials by the end of this month when our sister, her hubbie, and two of their male grandchildren will be here to help store stuff, make trips to the dump, and clear as much furniture as possible from the living room for a grand carpeting event. And we have the painter coming in June to repair and paint the house exterior. Repairs are partly due to a woodpecker (a flicker) who is having a love affair with the siding surrounding our chimney: there are now five holes in it. Just possibly, if we work ourselves to death, we'll put the house on the market by the first of July, before school starts, and this can be the next owner's summer vacation.
The realtor to be can tell lookers the house has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, huge family room wired for booming sound, new carpeting in living room and on stairway to master bedroom, 2 year old roof, newly painted exterior, three year old hot water heater, gas furnace and appliances, updated kitchen, 2 covered porches, hot tub, greenhouse, extensive deck of that stuff that lasts forever, raised beds, fruit trees, and gorgeously landscaped. Is anyone out there interested?

Doc Martin
Series Description: DOC MARTIN is a catchy comedy drama that stars Martin Clunes (Men Behaving Badly) as Martin Ellingham, whose truculence and tactless manner causes mayhem in a small Cornish community. The series details the trials and tribulations of the brash Ellingham, once a celebrated London surgeon who left his job after developing a phobia to blood. After retraining as a general practitioner, he gets a job in the beautiful but sleepy village of Portwenn, replacing their deceased local doctor-but his abrasive personality doesn't exactly mesh with the pace of life in Cornwall.

The Orioles have designated Chris Dickerson for assignment, the team announced on Twitter. The move will clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Henry Urrutia, who will be promoted to the Majors to start the season's second half.
I was surprised by this move. I thought that they would put Steve Johnson on the 60 Day DL. IMO this might mean we see L J Hoes in the near future. Particularly, if we put Reimold on the DL or DFA him.

BEAVER FALLS The Student Council at Beaver River Central School District is soliciting money and items for a backpack food program to assist needy students.
Theres definitely a high need, District Superintendent Leueen Smithling said. It really does our hearts good to help out these families.
Last year, in its inaugural campaign, about 50 students, recommended by their teachers, were assisted through the program, she said.
People are most generous, Mrs. Smithling said. Food came in on a regular basis, and funds came in.
Now, school officials are seeking donations to run the program for another school year.
The Backpack Food Program will provide backpacks filled with healthy food choices for students over the weekend, said a letter sent to local businesses and organizations concerning the program. The meals provided are to encourage healthy eating habits for the families.
Backpacks, distributed to children on Fridays, are filled with healthy, easy-to-prepare, nonperishable items such as fruit cups, juice, crackers, beef stew, ravioli, cereal, raisins, pudding, granola bars and tuna.
As you can imagine, the cost of food adds up quickly, and we plan to offer this program to all students that attend Beaver River Central School, the letter said.
The program alleviates the stress on parents to cover additional food costs on the weekends and assists with healthier eating, it added.
More than half of students at the school receive free or reduced-price lunches, and, since most students carry backpacks, the ones being helped through the program are not so conspicuous, Mrs. Smithling said.
Its a real easy way to help out, she said.
The superintendent commended guidance counselor Shannon Bourcy and other Student Council advisers Wanda Joslin, Tracy Adams and Rachael OBrien for organizing the effort in consultation with officials at other area schools that have established backpack programs.
Those people really worked hard to get the program off the ground, Mrs. Smithling said.
Donations can be dropped off in the office at the schools main entrance, while checks can be sent to Beaver River Student Council, P.O. Box 179, Beaver Falls, N.Y. 13305.
A note should be written on the check to indicate it is for the backpack program.
Anyone seeking more information on the program can call Mrs. Bourcy at the school at 346-1211.

Top 3 favourite kitesurfing spots?
Mauritius as it is so versatile and you have top flat water in between the reefs and in the lagoon and at the same time if good swells hit the island you have One eye and Manawa and all the other waves which are so much fun!
Maledives as the water is so crystal clear and while you are riding you can see the manta rays flying underneath you and with a plexiride board you can even sea the little fish on the reefs. With good swells there a wavespots in close distance and it is just such a great and relaxing place with warm water and friendly people!
Namibia as I love the country and even thought the water is quite cold, it is the whole surrounding there. No matter where you go for riding it is always really unique! The nature there is really unreal and so great! You have the most perfect speed runs there, as well as great waves!
Favourite gear set up?
Fuse with the Freerace board, normal bar length and 25 m lines in either 4 or five lines with straps! As you can cruise around and go upwind really good at the same time you can catch maximum speed on downwind runs and then boost the highest and longest airs ever! When you have the chance to escape into some waves that board and the kite combination also works great in the waves for some smooth turns and carves! All in all a good day out on the water no matter in flat water or waves!
Cat or dog?
Chickens because I am also a chicken farmer and breed them, and then dogs because I have a Russian sledge dog at home. Finally cats because they eat the mice on my chicken ranch.
Vegetables or Pizza/Burger?
For sure vegetables as I only eat burgers and pizza when I am travelling, for the rest I prefer a good meal with fresh vegetables. I grow quite a view every year in my own garden.
Girls or boys ;-)?
Girls and boys as I have a small daughter Malia which is usually a princess but also can be a monster and also her big brother Milo who is the best brother in the world, usually, but can also beat her here and then! I guess once they have grown up I rather prefer girls then boys!
Water or Champaign?
As I do not like Champaign at all, I guess water! But I would for sure drink something else as well!
Car or bike?
I like to use my bike to go for rides in the woods and just train a bit nevertheless without my car I would be lost as I do about 40000 to 50000 km per year!
City or beach?
I prefer the beach or then my village as I do not really miss a lot what only a city can offer you. I prefer to be outside with my kids and in the nature rather then in a city that never sleeps!
Pink or black?
Pink as it is more colourful and I am for sure the person that prefers colours rather then black! Everybody that knows me, knows that!
Plane or roadtrip?
Roadtrip as you can see way more from the nature and of the country that you are travelling to. I just got back from a roadtrip through Argentina which was really great and I had 24 hours time to meet really cool people on my bus trips!
What did you ever want to say?
It is better to regret something that you have done then to regret that you have not tried it!

Driver cited in Deltona day care bus crash
Children suffer minor injuries, driver taken to hospital
A 21-year-old will be cited in the crash involving a day care bus carrying several children on Thursday in Deltona, sheriff's officials said.
Volusia County deputies said Kyerria Jarrells was driving the SUV and ran a red-light prior to hitting the bus, which operates for a private day care in Deltona.
Some children suffered minor injuries in the crash, which occurred around 3 p.m. on Saxon and Normandy boulevards. It's not clear how many children were on the bus.
[Pics: Bus crash]
Jarrells was airlifted to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach with a severe leg injury. Deputies said she has been cited for failure to stop at a red light and driving with a suspended license.
A witness told Local 6 they thought the SUV was speeding when it hit the bus.
"I see the SUV coming that way speeding and I think he's at the light and I see
the school bus make a big turn and it hit it in the front," said Eric Monet.
No other details were available.

Under $30
You can't do much with 30 bucks anymore. You can get your oil changed at some places, but good luck. You can buy a decent meal, but let's hope you're not taking anyone out on a date. The one thing you can do for sure, which will guarantee one fun filled night, is purchasing a Men's Costume for $30 and under. These inexpensive outfits are mostly for Halloween, but you can also find some that are appropriate for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Comic Con, and more. With such low prices, you wouldn't think there would be so much variety, but there is, so check it out.

All birds, or parts, nests, or eggs thereof, captured, killed, taken, sold or offered for sale, bartered or offered for barter, purchased, shipped, transported, carried, imported, exported, or possessed contrary to the provisions of this subchapter or of any regulation prescribed thereunder shall, when found, be seized and, upon conviction of the offender or upon judgment of a court of the United States that the same were captured, killed, taken, sold or offered for sale, bartered or offered for barter, purchased, shipped, transported, carried, imported, exported, or possessed contrary to the provisions of this subchapter or of any regulation prescribed thereunder, shall be forfeited to the United States and disposed of by the Secretary of the Interior in such manner as he deems appropriate.

Check Out This Cool MIDI Routing Tip for Ableton's Arpeggiator
29 Nov
In this excerpt from the exclusive Ableton Cookbook email list Video Q&A, I covered a cool MIDI Routing tip for any Ableton MIDI effect that will let you take even more advantage of these effects; in this case, I used the arpeggiator effect.
The traditional signal chain in Ableton goes from the MIDI clip to a MIDI effect and then into an Instrument or Instrument Rack, where the MIDI information is interpreted and output as audio. This means that, if you press record on a MIDI Clip that has an effect on it, you'll get a recording not of the affected MIDI signal, but of the unaffected MIDI signal. If you want to capture these affected MIDI events, you are going to have to do some MIDI routing. In this video, I show you how this is done!
Extra special thanks to Opuswerk for making these Synth Racks that I'm using in this example. Love 'em! You can grab the ableton files HERE.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced Thursday that the state will spend $5.9 million to repair the underlying steel structures and replace critical components of four bridges in Jefferson County.
The bridges are:
n The Route 971V bridge carrying the access road from Route 3 to Fort Drum over the Black River in the town of LeRay. The bridge is closed during construction and traffic is detoured along routes 3 and 342. Work on the $2.1 million project is expected to be completed by the fall.
n Route 177 over the north branch of Sandy Creek in the town of Rodman. The bridge will remain in service during construction using a temporary traffic signal. Work on this $2.3 million project is expected to be completed by late fall.
n Route 193 bridges over Interstate 81 northbound and southbound in the town of Ellisburg. The bridges will be closed during construction and the detour will use other interstate exits. Work on the $1.5 million project is expected to begin in May and be completed by late fall.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Overview
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a life-threatening viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus known as SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV, but usually shortened to SARS or SARS virus). SARS is associated with a flu-like syndrome, which may progress into pneumonia, respiratory failure, and sometimes death. The SARS virus is believed to have originated in the Guangdong Province in southern China and has subsequently spread around the world. China and its surrounding countries have witnessed the greatest numbers of SARS-related cases and death.
SARS history is short. SARS virus was first reported in 2002 in Asia and cases were reported until mid-year 2003. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of July 2003, a total of 8,437 people worldwide became ill with SARS and 813 died during the outbreak or epidemic. Illness was reported in more than 30 countries and on five continents. Only eight people in the United States acquired SARS infection, and all of these people had traveled outside of the U.S. No deaths due to SARS occurred in the U.S. The good news about SARS is that no outbreaks or epidemics have occurred since 2004.
Because of the rapid and unexpected spread of SARS and because little is known about the virus, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the WHO continue to closely monitor the SARS situation. Guidelines and medical information can be found at the CDC and WHO Web sites.

Scott Hairston claimed off waivers, unlikely to be moved
Scott Hairston has been claimed off trade waivers, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.com.
Heyman says the Giants were not awarded the claim on Hairston.
Meanwhile, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says the claim put in on Hairston was designed to block him from another team and he is unlikely to be traded.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
I mean, at this point, keeping him can't be about competing or pennant races or September… so, it must indicate the team's real interest in trying to attain Hairston for next season in the face of getting back very little in a trade. They obviously feel it's worth more to them to keep him than let him go. I wonder if this also essentially means they'll offer him salary arbitration, as well.
Yesterday, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York said both Hairston and Andres Torres were on trade waivers.
The Mets could attempt to work out a trade with the team that put in the claim for Hairston.
If they can't work out a deal or do not wish to trade Hairston, he can be pulled back from waivers. However, at that point, he cannot be placed on trade waivers again.
Alternatively, the Mets could simply give Hairston to the claiming team.
If Hairston had passed through trade waivers unclaimed, he could've been traded to any team.

The collective nature of the nodal axis
Clare: Marking the two points where the Sun and Moon cross each other's paths, meet, and come together, where the spirit and soul unite from the point of view of the earth, we can see that the nodal axis is equally solar and lunar - and it is therefore of both personal and collective significance. From a collective point of view, everyone born within a particular eighteen-month period will have the nodal axis across the same signs. We studied the six axes last week and, if we are working alchemically in the interests of the development of individual and collective consciousness, it appears that our task is to work with, and endeavour to integrate, the opposite poles of the particular axis we were born on. We could say that we have been born into a particular polarity - into an unresolved imbalance in the collective - and that our personal efforts to recognise the equal validity of both poles of any archetypal spectrum will make a difference to the entire human endeavour, 'for nature's continued existence depends ultimately on the kind of consciousness we bring to bear on it'.
Developing the collective, lunar aspect of the nodal axis further, we know that in the Western mystery traditions within which astrology developed, the collective aspect of the soul is known as the anima mundi, the 'soul of the world', a living, breathing dimension of reality which is teeming with life. I have come to think of the nodal axis as a threshold or doorway between the manifest, physical world and the soul of the world, the anima mundi. The 'world soul' is itself liminal, mediating between the divine and human realms, between the gods and mankind, and it is not only 'full of gods', as Proclus wrote, but, astonishingly, it also appears to be interested in us. We may not be as alone as we think. The existence of this permeable, intermediary realm, and of the beings that reside there was, once upon a time, taken for granted. The more mystically inclined ancient Greek philosophers believed in the existence of a whole range of intermediaries and messengers - archons and daemons - which inhabited the liminal realms between this and other worlds and which were of both personal and impersonal significance.
Audience: This sounds a bit like the 'otherworld' in the Celtic tradition.
Clare: Yes, and in fact these intermediary or otherworlds are found in all traditions and cultures. To mention just a few, in Tibetan Buddhism they are known as the bardos, the place between life and death. In Australian aboriginal culture they are known as the dream time; in Hindu culture it is the akasha - a vast memory store which belongs to all of human kind and within which we can move anywhere in human history instantly. In the Western tradition, this realm is known as the anima mundi. The otherworlds are accessed through the imagination, in myths, stories, dreams, and in altered states of consciousness. They are particularly perceptible when we find ourselves at liminal times and places in our lives, at crossroads or on thresholds or in the moments between sleeping and waking. If you are familiar with rebirthing, regression therapy, or shamanic practices, then no doubt you are already familiar with these realms, in which neither time nor space conform to our normal expectations. The past, present and future exist simultaneously, always and everywhere, behind and beneath the surface of our everyday perception. This is unknown and yet strangely familiar territory. When we visit the otherworlds, we have access to a vast store of experience which is both personal and collective, which is both individual and belongs to all of humanity. In this sense, we could see the Nodes as the meeting place of temporal or time-based dimensions with the spatial dimensions where all of human experience is occurring all the time.

Sorry, but with the 33 year old (in November) Vince, coming off a serious injury, having an $11.6mil. cap hit, and a $7.5mil. salary...he needs to either get reasonable, or go. That said, I am not advocating releasing him, so that he can sign with whatever team he likes. I am advocating trading him.
Please, don't say it can't be done. If the Oakland Raiders gave the Texans a high 6th round pick for QB Matt Schaub and his $14mil. salary, the Pats should be able to find a willing trade partner in the NFC, or an AFC team that the Pats don't face in the regular season...who is willing to part with at least a 7th round pick for Vince.
The compensation doesn't matter. What matters is that the Pats pick the team that he plays for, rather than have Vince do something like sign with the Broncos, Ravens, or the Jets.
The Pats should not delay any further. Get this done now, before teams run out of cap space to pay Vince...and to clear cap space before the free agent market dries completely up.
Folks, I want the Pats to improve their DL. But if Vince isn't the player he once was, it's time to move on. They can use that cap space to shore up other areas of weakness on their team...at WR, TE, RB, or pass-rusher. That would be one less area that they have to address in the draft.
Even if the Pats keep Vince, they would still have to address their DL in the draft.

Gruenebaum thanks fans after eight years with the Black & Gold
I have been blessed over the last eight seasons of my career to play in front of one of the most passionate fan bases in all of MLS. It has truly been a pleasure being an active part of a community that supports you both on and off the field, and the fans in Columbus are what make playing there so special.
When you live somewhere for eight years, it becomes home, and from those eight years I will carry with me so many positive memories. From winning an MLS Cup, life-long friendships and all of the behind-the-scenes personnel that worked tirelessly to make our lives better, I will miss the city of Columbus and representing all of those people on and off the field.
My wife and I are genuinely sad to leave Columbus because we became so attached to not only the fan base and organization, but also the lifestyle that the city offered. Not being able to walk around Easton or have a night out downtown will be difficult, but I know that the memories we have of the city, teammates and fans will always be in our hearts.
Although I circled the games we had scheduled in KC every year, and have always admired the incredible atmosphere of that stadium, I have never witnessed anything quite like the electric environment I experience while attending MLS Cup 2013. I caught myself just looking around the stadium, and it seemed like the fans wanted that championship more than the players. When the opportunity arose to play in front of my family and friends – and in that atmosphere – I could not pass it up. My wife and I have always talked about moving back home in the distant future, but this might be the only time in my career to have this opportunity.
I always wanted to end my career as a member of the Crew. However, everything happens for a reason, and I can only thank all of those individuals associated with the Crew who always believed in my ability, and gave me a chance to earn each memory over the last eight years.

Tesco Pulls Inflatable 'Gay Best Friend' Doll From Website
UK retailer Tesco has apologized for an inflatable "Gay Best Friend" doll that's been sold over their website.
The doll's description reads:
"If Sex and The City and Will & Grace taught us anything, it's that g*y best friends are in this season," the description of the product said.
"We've had the manbag, we've had leg warmers and iPhone fever, now it's time for the new craze.
"Although not much can be said for his own attire, your Inflatable g*y Best Friend is ready to give you fashion advice, tell you if your bum looks big and b**ch about everyone who doesn't wear Jimmy Choo's."
According to a Tesco spokesperson: "This product was uploaded to the website by a third party seller but was removed from sale immediately because we found it offensive.
"The webpage should have been removed at that time and we are looking into why it is still visible two months later.
"We have very clear guidelines for third party sellers who list items on our website, and are very sorry that on this occasion they weren't followed."
If you're for some reason still in need of your own Gay Best Friend doll, it's still available for purchase on the Amazon website.
Also, is "gay" a bad word? (Per the Tesco website's use of "g*y"??)

I could certainly use one to get into the carpool lane.
Common now, that's funny.
honestly ? common ...stop taking yourselves so damn seriously and being so P.C. I'm queer and I think it's funny ...
Oh, g*y means "gay". I was pronouncing it "gastericy". Silly me! ;) :P
I find it rather funny, but do have a dry sence f humor for a gay man

CANTON Failure to stick to drug court programs has resulted in a Hermon womans return to prison for six years.
Valerie A. Cleveland, 39, of 1517 County Route 17, had been a part of the Judicial Diversion Program for a year and two months after pleading guilty May 30, 2012, to third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, both class B felonies.
Ms. Cleveland was twice terminated from the program, which aims to give individuals convicted of drug- and alcohol-related criminal offenses a chance to reduce their sentences by undergoing counseling and weekly drug testing and getting a job or pursuing an education.
The offenders failure to complete the one- to two-year program allows the judge to send the person to state prison.
After being ousted from the program in January and again in February, Ms. Cleveland appeared Thursday before Judge Jerome J. Richards in St. Lawrence County Court.
Assistant District Attorney Andrew Botts requested that she receive the maximum term of 12 years in prison on each count with three years post-release supervision, served consecutively.
Mr. Botts said the DAs office wanted the court to recognize Ms. Cleveland as a second felony offender. She is listed as a Level 2 registered sex offender for a Jan. 29, 2007, conviction for third-degree criminal sex act, a class E felony; a March 18, 2005, conviction in Jefferson County for fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class D felony; and a Dec. 13, 2004, conviction for third-degree welfare fraud, a class D felony.
Conflict Defender Amy Dona, who represented Ms. Cleveland, said her client had struggled with addiction to pain pills due to a medical condition; however, her failure to complete the programs was not caused by drug abuse but altercations. Additionally, Ms. Dona said, Ms. Cleveland faced problems finding additional treatment due to her sex-offender status.
Ms. Dona said Ms. Cleveland knew she was facing prison time and asked the judge to consider a reduced sentence of three to six years.
Given the opportunity to address the court, Ms. Cleveland began crying, telling the judge that while in jail she began her rehabilitation by turning down multiple chances to use drugs, and that during the time of her fathers death, she had a moment of pride when she returned to jail sober.
Ill never self-medicate again, she told Judge Richards. For that lesson I thank you.
The judge told her that the drug court program isnt meant to be easy and requires many hoops to be jumped through.
People believe it is a trap and that you will end up in jail anyway, Judge Richards said. Thats just not true.
He said that given Ms. Clevelands criminal history, the program would require more time to help her.
You entered your plea one year and two months ago, Judge Richards told her. How do you ask someone who has lived a certain way for 12 to 15 years to change in one year and two months? It takes time.
He credited her with some positive changes but said that would not keep her from prison.
Ms. Cleveland was sentenced to six years for each charge as a second felony offender, to be served concurrently with three years post-release supervision.

This is based upon the twelve labours of Hercules/Heracles. I wanted to do something on the epic of Gilgamesh, but as that would require an intense amount of reading to re-familiarise myself with the salient parts, not to mention this one requiring far less reading (although not so insignificant an amount), I decided on this instead. The Epic of Pastamesh will have to come much later. Enjoy.
The Twelve Pastas of Rigatonicles - by Peista
Many years ago when the world was much younger, there lived a hero named Rigatonicles. Rumour had it that he was the product of a union between one of the FSM's Noodly Appendages and Acini, a highly revered woman. This was unsubstantiated though, and as nobody could remember the conception due to the amount of beer consumed that night, his father officially remained a mystery. Rigatonicles had a hard life, worked hard for much of it and doing many great deeds. He became famous throughout many lands far and wide, and was courted by many powerful women.
Travelling to Thebes one day, he met and fell in love with a beautiful princess named Meguccine, the daughter of King Cu Mian. After asking for her hand in marriage, he settled down and lived a good life, Meguccini bearing him six wonderful children. A queen from a distant land had heard of Rigatonicles' great deeds in life, and wanted him for her own, so she concocted a plan to take her revenge on him, and remove his happiness forever. The queen sent a poison to Rigatonicles to drive him mad, and upon him imbibing this, in a fit of madness, he slew his six children dead. Once the madness had passed, a great remorse came over him, and also a great depression.
King Cu Mian purified him and forgave him, knowing the fit of madness to be a trick played upon him, but nothing anyone said could bring Rigatonicles from his bout of depression. One day, it was suggested that he see the Noodacle at Delphi, whose wisdom and contact with the FSM would help to absolve him. Arriving at Delphi, Rigatonicles met with the Noodacle, who told him that he would need to serve King Eurystrenette, a rival to Rigatonicles, after which he would receive the blessing of the FSM and would be touched by His Noodly Appendage.
Rigatonicles was obviously not happy at having to serve his enemy, and thought deeply on this for many days, but upon deciding to do this, left for King Eurystrenette's kingdom. Arriving at the city at the heart of King Eurystrenette's kingdom, Rigatonicles made his presence known, and offered his service for 12 years in penance for his madness. King Eurystrenette accepted him, and was openly mocking of Rigatonicles, which angered him, but patience stayed both his heart and his sword. King Eurystrenette laid down a plan for attaining the status as the provider of the 12 greatest pastas in the world, and told Rigatonicles of 12 tasks that were to be given to him, one for each year of his service. Much time would it take to find each of the necessary ingredients, and much time would it take to recover, so one year per task was seen as ample. Thus began the almighty gathering of The Twelve Pastas of Rigatonicles.
The First Pasta
King Eurystrenette told Rigatonicles of a fearsome lion who was said to guard the Sacred Wheat of Nemea. When used in making certain pastas, it is said that it imbued the eaters with great strength, and the king wanted it for himself. So off went Rigatonicles to find the fearsome lion, which took him far away to the town of Cleononi. Upon entering the town, he made known what he was seeking, but everyone was fearful of him and hid. Travelling the length of the town and leaving the other side, he noticed a young shepherd boy tending his sheep. Approaching him, Rigatonicles asked him of the lion, and how to find the Nemean wheat fields. The young shepherd boy, afraid at first, spoke up at last, and told him that it was not far from there, and that all he had to do was to follow the line of the river nearby.
His curiosity peaked, the boy asked Rigatonicles to stay for food and wine, which he did, and questioned him about his quest. Rigatonicles found himself telling the boy of his journey to that place, and of all the wondrous people he had met, but kept quiet his identity, but the boy was smart, and realising who this man was, offered him an incentive. The boy told Rigatonicles that if he could slay the lion of Nemea within 30 days, he would sacrifice half his flock to the FSM, and give such a feast for the townspeople that had never been seen, as the meatballs from that many sheep would feed many. He then appeared grave, and told Rigatonicles that if he didn't slay the lion of Nemea within 30 days, he would sacrifice himself to the FSM, offering his life's blood instead of his flock. Rigatonicles was shocked at the tone the conversation had taken, and pleaded with the boy not to do so, but the boy adamantly refused.
Packing up his lunch, the boy bade farewell and good luck to Rigatonicles, and sent him on his way. Rigatonicles was much disturbed by this chain of events, and endeavoured to slay the lion that very day if he could. He wondered what was so fierce about a lion, as he had slain many before, and the foreboding given him by the boy earlier on deepened, but determined to do his best, Rigatonicles soldiered on, following the river as instructed.
After three days of walking, Rigatonicles finally reached the bottom of a hill which once climbed, afforded him a decent view of the land. There in the valley below him was a field of the most golden wheat he had ever seen, bordered on three sides by the fiercest cliffs he had encountered in his travels thus far. Knowing at once that this was the fabled Sacred Wheat of Nemea, Rigatonicles made his way down the steep hill, being careful not to fall, when all of a sudden there appeared in front of him a huge lion with a golden coat of fur. Taken aback by the majesty of this lion, Rigatonicles froze for a second before taking stock of the situation. Knowing he would have to approach carefully, he made his way towards the lion slowly, his eyes never wandering from the golden lion.
Once he was within shouting distance, he called out to the lion that he only needed a few seeds of the wheat, and he would go, but Rigatonicles knew that this would not work. Suddenly running towards him, the lion soon made up the distance, and pounced. Artfully dodging the lion's attack, Rigatonicles ducked to the left, rolling on the ground to get out of its way. Quickly drawing his bow, he released an arrow straight towards the lion's heart, knowing that he'd never failed to kill with his trusted bow, but was shocked to see the arrow bounce straight off of the lion's fur. Thinking that maybe he just missed the shot, he drew time after time, dodging and weaving from the lion's fatal embrace, but every shot seemed to bounce off of the lion as the first had done. Feeling tired, Rigatonicles made a retreat, deciding that he needed to devise a different tactic.
He observed the lion from a distance over the next few days, and noticed that the lion had a cave in which he slept, with two entrances. Devising his plan, Rigatonicles stole down carefully one night, and began to move the stones near one of the entrances to block it. The stones were large, and he was at it all night, but eventually he had stopped one of the entrances with enough stones to block it effectively. He then waited for the lion to awaken, and followed him. Seeing him, the lion once again attacked, but Rigatonicles was ready, and he pelted the lion with rocks large enough to drive him off. Driving him towards his cave, Rigatonicles had him cornered, and he decided to use his strength to defeat the lion. The battle was fierce, but Rigatonicles was triumphant, knocking the lion out with a large stone then strangling him.
Rigatonicles marvelled at the lion's impressive fur, and coveted it for armour, but try as he might, he could not cut it. Suddenly he felt a light breeze near his shoulder, and a thought popped into his head. Removing the lion's claw, he was able to use it to remove the coat, and fashion it into the toughest armour he had ever seen, attaching the claws together to make a formidable weapon to go with his now impressive, yet unorthodox, armour. Taking his new prizes, Rigatonicles made his way down to the field of golden wheat, where he cut many ears that were to be saved for taking home. He also cut some for himself, which he ground into flour and made into pasta. Upon tasting this pasta, he felt a strength enter into him through his new armour and weapon, and at once he understood the power of this wheat. Laughing to himself, he collected his things, also picking up the lion's carcass, and started the journey home.
When he returned to the shepherd boy, the boy rejoiced, and sacrificed half his flock as promised, giving the best feast Cleononi had ever known. So many meatballs were gained from the flock of sheep that there was enough to invite the surrounding towns' residents too, and the area entered a new era of peace and co-operation. Rigatonicles longed to stay, but knew that he had a long way to go, so regretfully left on his journey home.
On arriving home, King Eurystrenette saw the majesty of Rigatonicles in his new armour, and saw the might of the lion, and was afraid, declaring that thenceforth Rigatonicles was not to enter the city under pain of instant death. Handing over the ears of wheat, Rigatonicles left the city to a dwelling nearby, where he planted a few of the seeds he had saved. There he rested, building his strength for the next trial and tending his fledgling crop.

News: 6th And 7th Round Picks, Jesper Fasth And Randy McNaught
In the 6th round, the Rangers took Swedish winger Jesper Fasth, and in the 7th round, they took Randy McNaught from Saskatoon.
Fasth is 6-foot, 176 pounds, and scored 23 goals and 26 assists last season for his HV71 J20 team.
…Love this pick. Love getting a Swedish scorer with decent size and scoring in the 6th round. Not saying it goes anywhere, but this pick is only upside as far as I am concerned.
McNaught is a 6-5 221 RW who played last season with the Saskatoon Blades of the WHL. He had 6 goals, 6 assists and 131 PIMS.
…So the moral of the this draft was making the Rangers tough and adding a lot of size. There was skill with Thomas and hopefully this Swedish player, but a lot of size. Henrik Lundqvist was run into too much this season, and they were knocked around enough that they wanted this to be part of the direction of the team.
They have a lot of skill in young players on the team and in the system that they could go in this direction this year. Dylan McIlrath, whether you like the pick or not, gives them a banger back on the blue line for the first time since Jeff Beukeboom. Not a sexy draft; that was saved for the Islanders. The Isles took Nino Niederreiter, Brock Nelson, ANNOUNCED BY E FROM ENTOURAGE, and then Kirill Kabanov in the third round.
After the jump, courtesy of Dagoon44 on twitter, is video of McNaught fighting:

Thanks to Holly of for this creative craft idea for children for the 25 Days of Christmas series.
When I was a kid we use to make Stain "Glass" Windows by shaving different colored crayons in between wax paper sheets then placing between 2 towels and ironing (warming) on a low setting. We would then make windows from construction paper and glue the wax paper sheets in between them or just cut the sheets into shapes like Christmas trees, bells, candy canes etc. and use a hole punch and ribbon to hang them on the tree or stick them on the windows with invisible scotch tape where the colors would show beautifully when the sun shined through them!

Immaculate Heart Central features some dynamic players that eventually will make the Cavaliers offense explosive.
But its the aggressive, veteran IHC defense that will lead Paul Alteris club to what he hopes will be an extended postseason run this season.
Recording eight sacks, including five by senior defensive end Cody St. Onge, IHC held visiting Thousand Islands to minus-10 yards rushing and just 73 total yards in a season opening 26-0 Section 3 Class A North football victory Friday night.
IHC was so dominant that it forced the Vikings into 20 negative plays from scrimmage. But St. Onge said he expects the defense to play even better as the season progresses.
We were really ready to go tonight, said St. Onge, an undersized 6-foot, 175-pounder. Our veterans really put in a lot of time preparing for the season, but I think were capable of playing even better.
Middle linebacker Austyn Frechette also recorded two sacks and Miles Sexton, who plays on the opposite end to St. Onge, notched the other as Thousand Islands sophomore quarterback Tyler Gilfus was forced to run for his life most of the night.
Miles is so tough, he forced their quarterback right to me for two or three sacks, St. Onge said. And because we stopped their run, we could just take off for the quarterback on almost every snap.
IHCs defense will have to stand tall until the offense eventually finds its rhythm.
Junior quarterback Cole Carpenter, making his first varsity start after seeing only limited duty in a backup role a year ago, had an inconsistent debut. He completed 6 of 16 throws for 88 yards, including a 3-yard first-quarter touchdown to Nick Koelmel. But Carpenter was also intercepted three times and forced a few throws into coverage.
Alteri expects his quarterback to progress with more game action.
I like Coles initiative, he said. He made some really nice throws, and then a few where his feet were not set. But, hopefully, he and the entire offense will learn more each week and well start clicking better.
Carpenter drove IHC down the field for a score on its first possession. He capped off a 9-play, 62-yard drive by hitting Koelmel (6 receptions, 78 yards) for a short score and newcomer Jude Whalen kicked the extra point.
Whalen, an exceptional athlete playing football for the first time after moving over from soccer, then took a reverse 49 yards untouched for IHCs second score with 5:24 left in the opening quarter.
However, the Cavaliers couldnt add to that and settled for a 13-0 halftime lead.
But IHCs defense overcame two interceptions by Brentyn Horton deep into Cavalier territory late in the first half, holding the Vikings on downs twice.
Michael Marra added a 5-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, and Jordan Trudeau added an 11-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter to close out the scoring.
As for his defense, Alteri said he was impressed. The kids use their technique and speed so well. When we can get on the edge like that, were pretty tough.
One negative for IHC is the loss of senior fullback/linebacker Spencer Sharlow for the season with a broken ankle suffered in last weeks scrimmage.

"I repeat the question is not about my army values or anything but legal matters."
- Should never have been said.
My RSP is about 45 minutes away and I didnt have to stay overnight until next month because people come on saturdays but not on sundays.
As an E1 you'll get paid probably 90-120...depends on what you do with your money (SGLI, TSP, etc). As an E2 I get paid around 130 with SGLI as 150,000 (dont ask why) and $11 into TSP.
If you havent been to basic, im sure it will be fun half the day and boring the other half. Just stick it, remember to call your NCO "sergeant" not "sir" and you'll be fine. Good pay for just a weekend!
change of clothes needed
Bring two changes of comfortable clothes and your own sleeping gear (the sleeping gear they provide you is usually grodie). When I went to RSP for the first time I brought only one change of clothes, night clothes and sleeping bag. That was a mistake. We did PT and had to shower and change into new clothes on the first day. So the next day I had no clean clothes to wear, only dirty, and the NCO's didn't really like that. Hopefully for you, you will be issued a PT uniform (just a full wind suite and two shirts). The civillian clothes you bring will really need to be comfortable, because you will sit in a classroom 80% of the time for the first few drills.
Hope this helps you, good luck and don't stress!
I don't intend on scaring anyone, but I went to RSP drill this past weekend, yesterday I came home, and I AM SO SORE I COULD CRY! We got smoked like you couldn't believe and ran ran ran! To my surprise I ran my 1 mile APFT in less time than at home. I also passed the push and sit ups on my APFT. As if doing the APFT and being smoked wasn't enough, the very next morning at 6:15am we went on an at least 1.5 mile run then got smoked a lot more.
During the run I said the famous quote "wtf did I get myself into?" and almost wanted to just run away and go home. The thing that gets me through is at 27 yrs old, and a mother of 2 girls, i'm finally able to live my childhood dream, and deep down I knew it wasn't going to be a pic-nic. So I know what I have to work on, and I know what to work on for the smokings as far as exercise is concerned, flutter kicks, jumpin jacks, run in place, field jumps/kicks, sit ups without ankle holders, push ups and a couple others I don't remember the names of. I guess i'm just looking for some support or advice, to see that i'm not the only that is feeling this way physically and emotionally.:(

At our RSP you check in Friday night and you don't leave until Sunday morning. Be ready for PT, because thats pretty much guaranteed. At ours, in first and second squad, you just wear PT uniforms all day. The havent issued us anything, so black shorts and a white t-shirt. You need a couple pairs, and i recommend some sweats in case you get cold at night.
Don't worry Nikki, some days it's just going to suck. Just keep a postitive attitude no matter what happens. Last month we pushed every 10 minutes or so just because the Sgt. felt like making us drop. It sucked, but I just kept telling myself it'll help in the long run, and it seemed to go by a little quicker.
I'm guessing you haven't been to BCT yet? If not, it'll get harder when you go, but it's not going to be nearly as bad when you finish. It's definitely worth it.
Not much else to add from what everyone else said, just keep a positive attitude towards everything and you'll be just fine :)
Oh, and as an E-1, it's roughtly $160 before taxes. I get about $25 removed from taxes, and then of course my SGLI.

Bob Tanner, Kathy Wright, Tracy Gross and Ty Madrigal were recently assigned to the Golden Rule Mission.
The four volunteers provide a variety of services at the homeless shelter, ranging from clerical and case management work, to operations and maintenance.
Along with the food, clothing and other donation needs, the group is also seeking a dentist practicing in the local area to help in emergency situations at the shelter.
To donate items or to volunteer time, assistance or services, Castle Valley residents may contact the Golden Rule Mission at 472-2631.
