Miami starter Ricky Nolasco gave up an unearned run on three hits and fanned six in 3 2/3 innings.

Coweta shoppers join Black Friday frenzy; 'This is the most I have ever seen.'
By SARAH FAY CAMPBELL
Coweta shoppers were out in waves Thursday night for Black Friday — which started early at most stores this year.
Some larger retailers started their day-after-Thanksgiving sales on Thanksgiving itself, while many others opened at midnight.
As the magic hour of 9 p.m. hit, lined-up shoppers were allowed to enter 50 at a time.
It appeared to be the biggest after-Thanksgiving crowd ever to Ed Dhauw, who was line wrangling on the sidewalk. He's been working the after-Thanksgiving sales for nine years.
"This is the most I've ever seen. This is a record," Dhauw said.
He thinks the evening hours are a big part of it.
"When people get done with dinner, they want to go out and have some fun," he said. "To a lot of people, this is fun. And they are getting really good deals," he said.
The shoppers stay pretty well behaved, he said. "In the eight years I've been doing this, it really hasn't gotten out of hand," he said. Several officers were on hand from the Newnan Police Department to make sure of that.
"Those guys are doing an outstanding job," he said of the officers.
Some of those toward the front of the line were concerned about latecomers trying to break in line.
"We do not like line cutters," said Tori Bennett.
Plenty of shoppers were milling in the parking lot across from the front door, instead of going to the back of the line. That's so they could blend in with the line, once it started moving, according to some shoppers.
One man in line told those assembled that a newspaper reporter would be taking pictures of all the "cutters."
"Shut up, it's just a line," said one alleged line breaker.
"It's funny how they yell at people even though it's Thanksgiving," said another. They denied trying to cut in line. They were just waiting on the line to go down, they said.
Michelle, Tori, and Allie Bennett were just getting started with their Black Friday shopping. They came all the way from Pike County.
"It's tradition," said mom Michelle. She's been doing it for about 35 years. Last year, they shopped from 6 p.m. on Thursday to 10 a.m. on Friday. "We don't get home 'til noon," she said. The deals are good, and it's fun.
Mable Smith-Sharp has been hitting the after Thanksgiving sales for 30 years. Her sister used to work at Wal-Mart, and remembered having to have a police escort into the store so she could get past all the shoppers, Smith-Sharp said.
"I'm too obsessed with this. It's no joke," said Allison Simpson, also in line at Target. "I've been doing this ever since I was little," she said.
Allie Moncus and Justin Spain arrived at Target a little after the opening, after hitting up Wal-Mart. The store had been open all day, but the special Black Friday sales didn't start until 8 p.m. Some items were covered in advance of the sales. People lined up for televisions starting at the bakery and wound through the store, said Spain.
It was their first time really taking part in the after Thanksgiving sales rush; they were basically killing time at Target until stores in Ashley Park opened at midnight, they said.
Suzanne Breedlove and her daughter, Dana Breedlove West, were almost to the front of the Target line at 9:15.
They were asked what they thought of the stores opening on Thanksgiving instead of the next morning.
"This is ridiculous. It's Thanksgiving," Breedlove said. But she was still there. Why? "iPad, iPod," said West.
By 9:30, the line at Best Buy snaked around the building, though the store wasn't set to open until midnight. Those at the front of the line had been there for hours. Many, many hours.
Sisters Bailey and Casey Deridder were proudly at the front of the line — where they had been since about 10:30 Wednesday night. They had set up a tent and slept there, along with their dog.
Next in line were Kim and Jimmy Thomas, who arrived at 4 a.m. on Thursday.
Thomas Gipson got dropped off at 10 a.m. on Thanksgiving.
The main reason they were all spending their holiday on the sidewalk was for a super deal on a 40-inch television.
It was the Deridder sister's first time sleeping outside, ever. Their mom came by later to join them. They'd had their Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday.
Gipson, who was buying a gift for his step-sister, missed the Thanksgiving dinner at both his mom's and his dad's. But that was OK. And they brought him a plate.
The Thomas' have been camping out at the Newnan Best Buy ever since it opened. They were there for the TVs as well as laptops.
After they did their Best Buy shopping, the Deridders had plenty other places to visit, said Holly.
"It's been an adventure, for sure," said Bailey.
"I've found out nice people" can be, said Gipson.
"We'd take lunch breaks and bathroom breaks, and people would watch our stuff," said Casey.
Just then, the first group of Best Buy employes arrived, and were cheered by the waiting crowd.
Will they be doing the same thing next year? Well, it depends on the weather and the deal, said Holly Deridder. The weather was so nice, that really made a difference, she said.
Things were decidedly more mellow in downtown Newnan for "Plaid Friday."
The small town alternative to Black Friday, Plaid Friday featured free gifts for shoppers wearing plaid.
Ray Dubose opened his jewelry store at the normal time, 9:30 a.m.
"Isn't that crazy?" he said with a smile. They got a lot of customers, he said. The Plaid Friday event "brought a lot of new people in, and a lot of families," he said. Those in plaid got a free pearl necklace.
"I think it's been very successful," he said. One customer said she had to go "way back in her closet" to find plaid, Dubose said.
Earlene Scott said business was "so-so" at her downtown Newnan book store. "We had a lot of out-of-towners" who are in town for the holidays come shopping, she said.
She's hopping for a big crowd today, which is Small Business Saturday. Last year's event was quite sucessful, she said.
But on the Friday after Thanksgiving "there is no way we can compete with the big box stores," Scott said.

|Hudson Man Hurt in Predawn Wreck
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 30 November 2012 09:59
US 321 south of Blowing Rock was tied up with an injury accident that occurred sometime just before 5am. Caldwell dispatch reported the north-bound lanes were blocked near the northern end of the four lane section, near the start of the construction zone, and the SHP said that Clyde Lefever, 36,
of Hudson may have hit a slick spot. His Nissan sedan slid sideways, struck the rock retaining wall, then spun twice before coming to rest across both north-bound lanes. Blowing Rock Fire/Rescue arrived on the scene just after 5 to work the wreck; Caldwell EMS transported Lefever to Watauga Medical Center suffering a large gash to his head that required stitches. He was cited for Failure to Maintain Lane Control.

An amazing experience. Linda is calm, collected, organized, patient, understanding, personable and one of the sweetest professionals I have ever met. Always punctual. Travelled 30 miles for birth and post-natal care. Very flexible in scheduling. Linda holds a wide array of knowledge in all things birth and childcare related. Takes plenty of time to answer questions and discuss feelings and concerns. She made sure my labor and delivery went the way I wanted. In labor she was very encouraging and understanding. Very thorough in checking health of me and baby throughout labor and after birth. She gave me so much strength in delivery when I really needed it. I had trouble nursing and linda was extremely patient and helpful. Thanks to Linda, I could not have imagined a more perfect birthing experience.

My new mantra: Argue Your Limitations.
The followup is new, and deals with the couple getting back together after 10 years apart.
The author is Nelson Demille. The first book is The Gold Coast, and the followup is The Gate House.
The first one isn't very empowering, but by the end of the second, the good guy comes out ahead
The people you do your life with shape the life you live
Let us know if you find a good one!
Met when we were 17 and 15. Together since 1983, married since 1985. Two kids, B21, G15.
d-day 4-3-07
Life has a way of making us get our panties in a wad.....I refuse to wear panties ever again.
Olivia Goldsmith wrote First Wives Club, which is actually a pretty good funny movie too (catch Sarah Jessica Parker as the young ho!)
Also made into a very good TV serial.
Although British, I believe it is being made into an an American version , starring "Felicity Huffman".
It will "hit the spot" it meets your criteria
Its definatly about affairs and infidelity and how it affects all parties but I dont know how it ends yet,I think it will be empowering by the way its written so far.
The book is a fictional account, written in the first person, of a wife's discovery of her husband's infidelity. Needless to say, I regularly had anxiety attacks while reading this book, because it hit so close to home.
Ann Leary is the wife of comedian Denis Leary, and she's a very funny, insightful author. I enjoyed the book, despite the subject matter.
I recommend the book, but I warn that it might be a very painful read for most BS.
Edited because I got the name of the book wrong!

"Happiness Sold Separately" was a little light but then that was exactly what I could handle at the time.
Also, "Happens Every Day" is non-fiction that I'm waiting for. Not sure how empowering it's going to be.
[This message edited by hurtinginseattle at 5:50 PM, April 12th (Sunday)]
Thanks for the other recommendations. I'm going to the library this afternoon to see what Olivia Goldsmith books they have.
Very lifetime movie-y - it's about a woman whose Husband has a midlife crisis, leaves her for a *much* younger woman, she buys a villa in Tuscany, regains her power, etc.
Not so unique, very predictable, but 'feel good-y'

ST. PAUL, Minn. - As Justin Mauricio and Aaron Ebbenga threw darts in a St. Paul bar on Tuesday night, they also spent part of their time outside of it, forced to the sidewalk to smoke.
"Some people don't like it," said Mauricio, "And I have no problem coming outside to smoke a cigarette."
Apparently thousands of other Minnesotans agree.
A new report from the Centers for Disease Control shows 19 percent of adults in the state are smokers, putting Minnesota's smoking rates as No. 11 best in the nation. In 2009, the state ranked No. 7.
Earlier this month, Minnesota got a failing grade from the American Lung Association. Health experts say the state still has a big problem.
"It's easy to think the tobacco issue is taken care of," said Chris Tholkes of the Minnesota Department of Health. "That's not true for all populations."
That includes racial minorities and young people. Both of which tobacco companies are constantly targeting, Tholkes said.
The CDC study also shows rural areas have higher smoking rates, as does the northern third of the state.
Health experts say youth education programs work and so has the indoor smoking ban, but they say a new tax plan that would add 94 cents to every pack of cigarettes could be the best deterrent of all.
"Increasing the price has a huge impact on smoking rates," said Tholkes. "It stops young people from starting and it helps adults quit."
But maybe not people like Mauricio and Ebbenga, who say even though they know it's unhealthy, they'll continue nonetheless.
"It is bad for you so you shouldn't do it," Ebbenga said, "(But) I do enjoy smoking."

LOWVILLE Joanne Shenandoah is dauntless in sharing her musical message. Its taken her around the world and helped to earn her a Grammy award.
Its primarily music of hope and peace, she said.
That may be a tough sell to skeptics, but Mrs. Shenandoah is undeterred in her mission. She will share her message Saturday evening at the Black River Valley Concert Series in Lowville.
The peacemaking troubadour, who sings and plays guitar, has performed worldwide, in the Americas, South Africa, Europe, Australia and Korea. In October, she performed in Rome, Italy, at the celebration for the canonization of Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint in the Roman Catholic Church. She also has performed at the White House, Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden and three presidential inaugurations.
Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Rita Coolidge and Bruce Cockburn are among those she has collaborated with.
The Wolf Clan member of the Iroquois Confederacy shares her Native American heritage at her concerts.
In the Iroquois way, music is a healing force, and the vibration of music lifts the spirit, Mrs. Shenandoah said earlier this month from her home in the village of Oneida Castle, Oneida County. I like to engage the audience into hearing the different stories and songs that Ive written that are based on Iroquois culture. Its forgiveness and peace and how it became a confederacy.
She said she has performed those stories solo as well as accompanied by full symphonies.
For her concert in Lowville, she will be accompanied by her daughter, Leah Shenandoah, who is coming out with her own album, titled Spectra, later this year, The pair also performed together in Rome at the canonization of Kateri Tekakwitha.
Besides being a performing artist (she plays percussion when performing with her mother), Leah also is a jeweler. She has a master of fine arts degree in metalsmithing from Rochester Institute of Technology.
Shes more along the lines of Adele, Mrs. Shenandoah said of her daughters music. Mine is more along the line of folk and traditional music.
The Lowville concert will be one of all original music by the pair. Mrs. Shenandoa has 16 albums. Lifegivers is her latest, released last year. It was inspired by cultures and music from around the world.
Its a celebration of a womans life cycle; from birth and the first heart beating to all the way when she returns home, Mrs. Shenandoah said.
Mrs. Shenandoah, has been able to channel her love of pop, folk and classical music into her ancestrally inspired music. It has been used in many soundtracks heard on HBO, PBS, TV commercials and the series Northern Exposure, which ran on CBS from 1990 to 1995.
In 2006, Mrs. Shenandoah won a Grammy award for her work on the compilation album A Tribute to Mother Earth. It received the Grammy for best Native American Record Album. She also has received more than 40 other music awards.
Last year, for the title track on the Path to Zero Prayer Circle CD, Mrs. Shenandoah and her daughter were joined by Robert Downey Jr., Sinead OConnor, Serj Tankian and a recording of Jim Morrison of the Doors reciting poetry.
Mrs. Shenandoah grew up in a musical family. She said her father, Clifford Shenandoah, an ironworker, once played guitar with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Her mother played piano and guitar.
We hardly watched TV at all, Mrs. Shenandoah said. We did music almost every night.
These days, for inspiration, Mrs. Shenandoah said she is listening to some of the older songwriters like Leonard Cohen and Phil Oakes.
Those, to me, are songs that are just of the heart; songs that are written out of the soul which Im kind of missing when I turn on the radio, Mrs. Shenandoah said.
n n n
The Black River Valley Concert Series received grant money from the St. Lawrence County Arts Council for Mrs. Shenandoahs concert. The series is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the state Council on the Arts, administered in Lewis, Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties by the St. Lawrence County Arts Council.

I am posting for suezq again (this is her sister Michelle - ilovethepits).
She has two chocolate lab litter mates, both male, 7 yo. George had his MCT surgery 3 weeks ago and just got his stitches out yesterday. Both tumors removed with clean margins, grade 1 and grade 2.
Her other dog, Aber, had some lumps aspirated 2 weeks ago and they were nothing but there was a small bump under his nostril - above his lip that was aspirated yesterday and that is MCT. His surgery is Monday.
Sue wanted me to thank everyone for the information on MCT, follow up and information about food/supplements, etc. for praying for George when he had his and she said last night can you just ask everyone to do what they did for George for Aber too? She has not had any time to post for herself.
Here is a picture of the big lugs from a couple summers ago:
Any information pertaining to follow up/experiences with a veterinary oncologist would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you PBF family. You are the best.

DTH van der Merwe beats defender, pulls hamstring, sets up try
Glasgow Warriors beat Italian side Zebre 22-19 in Friday night's RaboDirect PRO12 game, but suffered another two injuries as both DTH van der Merwe and Moray Low limped off. Van der Merwe did it in style though, setting up a try in the process.
Zebre came close to picking up their first PRO12 win but Canada wing Van der Merwe had a big impact on the game, scoring an acrobatic try in the corner before setting up Graeme Morrison with an great bit of play down the wing.
He beat a would-be tackler, pulled his hamstring, but kept going and drew in a few players before offloading the decisive no-look pass to Morrison, who was up in support.
Scotland back Max Evans actually played a large part in you watching the clip right now, as he alerted RD about it via Twitter after watching the 'must see bit of skill' from his former teammate.
Def one 4 @rugbydump #thetweakedhamyoffloadflick @dthvdm Hope it's not a bad one & speedy recovery buddy! #xfactor— Max Evans (@maxevans13) September 29, 2012
Van der Merwe, who is expected to be out of action for up to six weeks, kept his humour about it, replying that it was a great move and he 'might try it again sometime'.
As with what Max did, if you're watching a game and see something you think should be shared on Rugbydump, please don't hesitate to drop us a quick tweet, request, or email.

Now that the IRB has launched its plan to give us Tier 2 and 3 nations more competition I hope we'll see more players from different countries playing at the top level. Canada will play against the Maoris in Oxford and Portugal is coming to Chile! Also Japan are touring Georgia and the USA will go to Rumania.

The language is Gaelic.
As Stroudos says above, there is Irish Gaelic (pronounced "gay lic") and Scottish Gaelic (pronounced "gallic"). For some reason, people seem to only know about the Irish one. They are not the same language, although they do share much in common, but are too different to simply be regarded as dialects. (I am not a speaker, but am assuredly informed).
So referring tot his as "Gaelic" is perfectly correct. There no harm in qualifying it as "Scottish Gaelic", but definitely not simply "Scottish" as Reality suggests in his original post as that is likely to be confused with "Scots" another language/dialect (there is debate over that) which is completely different from Gaelic.
P.s. to Rugbydump. I visit here a lot but don't post often. When i tried to log in here it told me that my username was invalid and I had to post as a guest. Can you help me out with this? Don't know why that's happened!?

Re. the language and @Reality, it's a Scottish home team, the game was on Scottish channel BBC Alba, the language isn't English and isn't Italian, so one would assume that most fans don't randomly guess that it's Irish Gaelic.
Some interesting points though nevertheless, and next time we'll include the 'Scottish Gaelic' term to make sure it's one hundred percent clear.

To clarify for people it is a different language from irish gaelic, sort of like spanish and portuguese but closer.
Would be great to see even more Pro 12 clips

Contrary to this video where DTH continues to run/hobble... now in theory, if they had left him and not touched him, would he have hobbled his ass to the try line? I mean he set up a try whilst injured, that alone to me is reason enough to keep aiming for the guy with the ball unless of course he renders himself out of the game. For instance a game I played, an opposition player was running with the ball and a team mate came flying in for the tackle and caught one of the guys legs from the side and broke it, but didn't hang on, so technically the guy was free to, well... continue running, if it was possible with a broken leg... He yelled out "shit ref broke my leg broke my leg" and hit the deck like a sack of spuds, of course the sound alone was enough to tell us something was bad, but my point is, if that player had not shouted out, we may have gone piling into him. So in some sense if DTH had just yelled out or something and hit the deck, players would have thought well somethings not right, and probably stopped, but DTH continued on, drew the player and gave the pass...
I watched the video again and yeh maybe the 7 was a little mistimed there, but I think his intentions were to try and knock DTH as he passed it, to try and dislodge the ball...
stroudos October 04, 2012 7:01 pm
And I hardly think he was drawing the defender, he was probably thinking "what the **** do I do now?", then he'd have heard Morrison calling for the ball and shovelled it away as quickly as he could. Or as the commentator so eloquently put it: "kha chk shlendikh cgha shakha da balle de Graeme Morrison, na Morrison na loooozhk"
Pretzel October 05, 2012 12:41 am
As I said with JR he saw flying boks and hit the deck quick ruling himself out of the game.
Whereas DTH saw the try was on, and still continued play..
Reality October 05, 2012 9:17 pm
Having said that though, from Zebre's perspective he was still playing, even if he was struggling, and in a situation like that where it's 2-on-1 and a try will decide the game, I can understood why the Zebre didn't want to just leave him be. Although, maybe the second guy was a bit late.
Pretzel October 06, 2012 12:27 am
It did look a bit late though...

As for the Gaelic discussion, here in Canada, which has a Gaelic university, it's never referred to as Scottish, but just Gaelic. I've heard the Irish prefer Irish to Gaelic and obviously we know what the welshies like.
Still easier than to understand than cockney

All you all write some interesting comments. Ex Bootneck wrote this after this post:
Drop your standards and you require a greater understanding of body counts.
Maintain your standards and you simply allow your enemies to over take you; they will learn through your faults and they will punish you.
Strive daily for higher standards in every thing you do; it weakens your enemy and their resolve.
On the same post, Anthony had this to say:
How naive. I mean, for starters, if standards are lowered for the infantry training, how will that help? I read "War" a while ago about the 173rd ABCT when they deployed to the Korengal Valley. They are some of the most well trained infantrymen there are, regarding PT as well as other standards. They were completely out of breath when the 10th ID guys they were relieving took them along for standard patrols around the mountains.
Now, would anyone believe that a freshly minted infantryman could have managed that, when it took weeks for the 173rd to get used to it enough for them to not pass out?
On another note, if women are to be allowed in the infantry, and standards will be lowered (i.e. it will covertly be admitted that they are simply not physically capable due to very basic biology), then shouldn't the standards for both genders be lowered from basic training and forward? I mean, it's called equal opportunities. And shouldn't people like me be allowed in fighter jets? I mean, sure, I'm way too tall, and I don't have normal colour vision, but then again, I have like 90% of it, and you know, equal opportunities.
And on a last, more serious note: Not only is the military a fighting force, which is in no way obligated to, nor should it ever be giving everyone willing the opportunity to serve in it, has anyone behind this actually considered the medical ramifications of it? Google "Get over it! We are not all created equal" and you'll find an article in the Marine Corps Gazette written by a female officer who was out in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Afghanistan her unit was out and about building smaller bases, and long story short, due to the fact that the female skeleton and other parts of the body are not as well suited to field work as the male body, a perfectly healthy officer ended up with severe muscle conditions, and being infertile. The fact that she had almost top PT scores, and had graduated among the top of her classes did nothing to change basic facts. She writes herself that her movements during firefights, in and out of vehicles, etc. were severely hindered and painful. And as she herself notes, if the combat fields are to be opened for women for the sake of allowing them gain experience required to be promoted (because that's appareantly what the military is for; Not fighting wars and keeping the nation safe, but to provide everyone who wants it with a career, regardless of suitability), then it wont matter, because if female infantrymen and officers pull their weight as much as they can, they will end up being medically discharged before they're even close to higher ranks. I suppose the only other option would be female infantrymen and officers who don't even try to pull their weight, and can thus stay in long enough to reach higher ranks. But I don't suppose that will stop the angry feminists. After all, simple facts that can be explained to 6 year olds won't stop them…
How about something practical and manly? Struan shared this:
Shake my hand like a man. Save your hugs for your next appearance on Dr. Pill.
Kris had this to say about David Mamet after this particular posting:
Actually, the history of David Mamet is one of blatant liberalism, Struan…Mr. Mamet recently within the last few years stood up and proclaimed himself a former reformed liberal and now an outright conservative after watching the hypocrisy and lies of the left he so firmly believed in for these many decades…he has, like so many before him, discovered the left lives in a world of unworkable theories that never truly pan out in historical reality. And he decided to tell them so…the left, of course, if not disappointed has collectively chosen to ignore Mr. Mamet's conversion and self-discovery…at least I've never heard anyone of note comment on his new found realization…..sadly, those true believers will never get it….nor in their own ignorance, will they even acknowledge one of their own has left them to founder on alone.
Do NOT show that video to my husband. We had a good crop of native pecans this year. They are tasty, but small and very hard and hard to crack. So my husband bought slingshots for Christmas and plans on using the pecans for ammo.
And the last word goes to Coffeypot:
Why do the locals always screw up a good name? And I'm still having a hard time deciding if you say it, Kay Ro or Kie Ro. Now this? Much like Houston. Is it House Ton or Huse Ton? Does it depend on how wealthy or educated you are…snobbery if you please?
Haha, there you go. Getting some press. Those are just the ones that jumped out at me when I was scanning for material. Not that you all don't have something interesting to say!

Wellspring Women's Center celebrates 25 years of 'Hospitality with Dignity and Love'
It's about 7:30 in the morning on a chilly Friday in November.
A handful of women and children are waiting outside Wellspring Women's Center in Oak Park for the doors to open.
Precisely at 7:30 the door is unlocked and the smiling face of 91-year-old volunteer Pat Trippet welcomes each guest with a warm "Good morning," and a hug for any that would like one.
Women of all ages and ethnicities make their way to their usual tables to meet and greet their friends, while children scamper about as they wait for the Children's Corner to open. Later that morning, a volunteer chiropractor will make his services available, social workers will offer counseling, and the Craft Club will meet.
Back in the kitchen, the usual Friday morning Wellspring volunteers are busy preparing breakfast burritos, while volunteers from Jesuit High School in Carmichael serve every guest with a smile. Volunteers and staff work in the back room (aka. "The Hub") working on sorting donations of hygiene items and diapers. And Executive Director Sister Judy Illig, IBVM makes her rounds, greeting every single guest at Wellspring by name.
Welcome to a typical morning at Wellspring Women's Center – a nonprofit whose mission, according to Sister Illig, is "to nurture the innate goodness and personal self-esteem of women and their children" under the theme of "providing hospitality with dignity and love."
All are welcome
It was that sense of hospitality that first attracted Sister Illig to become involved with Wellspring, first as a Board member and now for six years as executive director. "Anyone is welcome (at Wellspring) – there are no restrictions on what women and what children can come, there are no criteria that have to be met in order to be a guest," she said. "I love the fact that we refer to everyone as our guest."
That ideal of guests and hospitality has been the cornerstone of Wellspring from the very beginning when the concept was first created by co-founders Sisters Catherine Connell and Claire Graham, both members of the Sisters of Social Service, around 1983. Sister Connell said the concept for Wellspring came during one of their evening walks after work when both she and Sister Graham were approached in downtown Sacramento by a woman in need.
"A woman came up and nudged me on my arm and said, 'Got any money for food?'" Sister Connell recalled. "It was real clear, I could smell the alcohol on her and I thought, 'Oh dear, here this poor soul wants money for more alcohol.'"
The Sisters took the woman to a fast food restaurant in the area where they treated her to a meal.
"When we left and we were walking down the street, I turned to Sister Claire and said, 'Wouldn't it be wonderful if someday we could offer something more than just food and good-bye in the night?'" Sister Connell said.
Four years later, after leaving her current employment, Sister Connell called up Sister Graham and said it was time to make their dream a reality. With help from a friends and the local parish community, Wellspring Women's Center was born. The Center spent its first two years as a program of the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services, then became a separate agency.
After two locations on Broadway, Wellspring found its current home in 1995 in the old Oak Park Firehouse.
At the Oak Park Firehouse, Wellspring is concentrating on its main programs, the first of which is a Nutritious Meal Program. From 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., any woman and/or child can come in for a free hot breakfast. Wellspring averages about 200 women and children a day coming through its doors.
However, the unique thing about Wellspring is the support the guests receive in addition to their meal.
"I always think about what would happen if Wellspring wasn't there – where would those people go to get a nutritious meal and sometimes more importantly the support that they're given – the emotional support if they're going through a hard time," said Andy Thielen, an East Sacramento resident and Wellspring Board member for the past five years. "They're in a safe place for that morning from 7:30 to 11:30. They get a warm meal and are able to have a conversation with someone and discuss their problems with other people that may have similar problems. (It's) an escape for them."
Women like Elly (not her real name) and Beth (not her real name), call the Wellspring table they share each morning "sacred." Elly has been a guest of Wellspring every morning for 11 years, and she refers to Wellspring as a place of spiritual healing and love.
"It's for women who are in pain, women that are hungry – your soul is healed here," Elly said. "You are welcome here – all the staff welcomes you like you are a family. I don't know what I would do without it."
For Beth, Wellspring gave her a sense of belonging after her children grew up and left.
"For the first time I was very lonely and I wanted to find some place to come," Beth said. "(I am) so thankful to the volunteers. Everyone is wonderful and they really care for us."
Beth was also able to receive counseling she needed, as well as assistance in finding employment.
The women that come to Wellspring come from all different ethnicities and all different situations in life. Some are unemployed. Some are homeless. Some have mental health issues. Some are in or have escaped abusive relationships. Some are battling substance abuse.
To help the women through their problems, Wellspring offers a Women's Wellness Program that offers counseling, case management, resource referrals, wellness activities and workshops – all free of charge.
Wellspring currently has one social worker on staff and three social work interns, so there are two-to-three social workers for guests to speak with each day. And workshops and activities run the gamut from parenting classes to poetry writing to exercise classes, which are all related to helping the women that come to Wellspring build their sense of self-esteem and dignity, according to Sister Illig.
Many of the women that come to Wellspring find support from their peers as well.
"A lot of times you'll walk around the tables and you'll hear someone say 'This is what's happening with me right now and I know you went through this last year, how did you do it, what did you do?'" Sister Illig said. "They really are very good about helping each other. There's a real sense of trust there and the guests feel safe. It's wonderful to be in that kind of family environment."
While the women receive the support they need, their children can have fun in another Wellspring program, the Children's Corner, full of books, games and toys.
"The real emphasis (in the Children's Corner) now is on socialization skills, just fundamental learning skills," Sister Illig said. "They do a lot with just the kids working together, sharing."
During October, 106 different children came to the Center, with an average of 17 a day between the ages of 18 months and 8 years.
The Children's Corner has its own special activities. For example, Land Park resident and Wellspring Board member Patti Martinez told a children's author she knew about Wellspring. The author wanted to come to speak to the children.
"She brought some of the books that she wrote for Chinese New Year," Martinez said. "She did a reading to all the kids and brought some tastes of Chinese food that they would all share if it was Chinese New Year."
To further help support both the women and children that come to Wellspring, the Center offers its Safety Net Services, which includes occasional assistance with transportation, education and health services. Through this program, Wellspring accepts and distributes donations of diapers and hygiene items.
"One of the Wellspring employees said it best I think – Wellspring is the safety net below the safety net for the people that fall through the cracks," Thielen said. "There are various programs out there to help people that fall on hard times, but sometimes that's not enough. So we're there to provide a welcoming environment and offer the food and support that these women and children that are going through tough times (need), especially for those that don't have anywhere else to go. They may get assistance from other government agencies, but sometimes that's not enough to really fulfill what they need, especially emotionally. I think that's a lot of it – women and children may be able to get food in other places, but a lot of Wellspring's benefits go to the women emotionally that they get the support they need and a place to relax during their tough time."
Volunteers help to stretch dollars at Wellspring Women's Center, in addition to the many tasks they perform.
"We would not exist if it weren't for the volunteers," Sister Illig said. "Their energy and commitment is just unbelievable."
Volunteering is easy.
"Anybody can volunteer, anybody can help, anybody can contribute, and it's amazing what a difference it makes in these ladies' lives," Martinez said.
The Future…
Now in its 25th year, Wellspring is looking towards the future.
"Our goal right now is to make Wellspring a household name so that when people hear something about Wellspring it would be like hearing about the Red Cross or United Way, where most people have recognition of that name," Thielen said. "I think in the next couple of years things will really take off for Wellspring – it has gotten better each year and despite the economy, Wellspring does continue to raise the funds needed to support our programs."
Another future goal for Wellspring is to pay off the current mortgage for the Firehouse, Martinez said.
"We're going to try to have a pay off the mortgage major fundraiser this year to see if we can get the building paid off," Martinez said. "If we didn't have the mortgage on the building, that would be a considerable help to us."
Wellspring also plans to make sure it can continue to offer the services it offers now.
"Maybe build up just the whole area of the counseling and case management kinds of things, to keep that program going (and maybe expand that part of it," Sister Illig said. "Keep our meal as nutritious as possible – we really try to focus on that. And really helping women to believe in themselves – we really want to keep doing that."

This website appears to be the most comprehensive hub of online resources available about feminine modesty from a Seventh-Day Adventist perspective.
Christian pastors R.W. Glenn and Tim Challies address modesty as an issue of the heart for both women and men in this 86-page booklet. Clothing rules are purposely avoided in favor of defining modesty as a spiritual virtue enabled by the grace of God that motivates outward choices of dress. Not all readers will agree with the authors' assertion that the acceptable level of modesty in clothing coverage varies according to culture, which they admit requires some exceptions in order to "object conscientiously to immodesty when we see it" (p. 49). This booklet would be useful to pastors preparing to speak to their congregations about modesty and for encouraging Christian women who dress and act on the liberal side of Western cultural standards toward more moderate choices.
Mary Van Nattan Stephens writes, "We are trying to provide Bible-based helps and studies for home makers." Her conservative list of clothing guidelines presents unique suggestions for staying comfortable in various weather conditions, especially for staying warm in cold weather while wearing dresses. This is a quaint site, but it is one of Fashion Belle's favorites!

Reviews for Fajita Skillet
Sort By :
"I have made this recipe many times. We love it so much that we eat it about once every two weeks. It's worth all the chopping to taste something this fresh and delicious. It makes my husband like eating his veggies, which is a rare thing indeed."
"This was pretty easy to make and very good. My husband enjoyed it too!"
"Pineapple? Brown sugar? NEVER in fajitas!"
"I've been making this recipe for a few years. To make it even faster, I use canned pineapple chunks. Also, instead of frying the tortillas, we actually roll it up in tortillas. Its a little saucy, but so good!"
"I agree--pineapple and soy sauce don't belong. The real trick in getting true fajita taste is to add 1/2 teaspoon of ground chipolte chile. It ads a nice "smokey" flavor. Spice Islands makes it and can be found in local grocery stores. I mix my own fajita mix and keep it handy because it's a fast dinner and can be made with chicken, beef or just black beans."

CLARENCE, N.Y. - There's one place no parent wants to spend Christmas. But Marlene Buffamonte found herself there in December of 2006 after her twin daughters were born after just 31 weeks.
"My daughters spent their first Christmas in intensive care at Children's Hospital," said Buffamonte. "It totally changed our lives forever. The holidays are completely different after our experience. You're there, watching your children fight for their lives."
The following year, with her twins healthy and happy, Marlene and another mom of premature twins brainstormed ways they could help new parents going through the nightmare they'd both experienced. Marlene and her friend Whitney Mendel knew it wasn't much, but they settled on using a little sugar to make life seem a little sweeter.
"I think it's a simple gesture, I mean food is always welcoming to most people and it brings people together," said Mendel.
They enlisted another mom, Robyn Swan, who Marlene met in the NICU, to help. Together they started baking Christmas cookies to deliver to Sisters Hospital and Women and Children's Hospitals on Christmas Eve. Each cookie they pass out comes wrapped, not in paper, but in a message of hope and support.
"I guess I would hope that it would bring some sense of normalcy," said Swan. "Somebody cares about you. And we realize that you're really struggling."
Now in its fifth year, "Operation NICU Cookie Drop-Off" has grown. Donations are greater each year. This year, more than 3,500 cookies will be sorted, placed into tins, And hand-delivered.
"Sometimes there's no words that are exchanged," said Swan. "And there's just lots of hugs and thank yous. I don't think any words need to be said for them to understand the reasons why we're there."
"That just makes my Christmas," said Buffamonte. "Being able to do this, we walk out of the hospitals and we're just, we just feel so good, and we remember those times that we had and how far we've come and, it's just my favorite part of Christmas."
The project can always use donations of money, baking supplies and especially Christmas Tins.
Donations can be dropped off at Swan's Martial Arts, 3234 Union Road in Cheektowaga.

Dave Stoodley can still remember the day as an 11-year-old when his father, Kent, took him to his first pro baseball game in Watertown in 1949.
He was enthralled with the game, and the atmosphere at the old Watertown Fairgrounds, and has carried his love for the game into his later years.
Now, after years of research, Stoodley has published a book on the first Watertown professional baseball franchise and the league in which it played. Titled Chronicle of the Watertown Athletics and the Border Baseball League, it traces the roots of the former city professional team and minor league since its inception in 1945 to their demise in 1951.
Stoodley, who lives in Adams Center, said he had thought about putting a book together like this for a long time. I wanted a permanent record of the team and the league. Theres plenty of information out there, but its in so many different places, he said.
During his quest to tell the history of the franchise and the league, Stoodley spent countless hours in the city libraries of Watertown, Ogdensburg and Geneva, plus Ottawa and Kingston, Ontario. He also visited the libraries at the Watertown Daily Times and the Ogdensburg Journal, scouring thousands of articles and pictures for his book.
I actually started at the Flower Library microfilm and got every box score of every game in the league history, Stoodley said. I also made contact with people at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and they provided some information on the league that was quite helpful.
For people who do not remember the days of professional baseball following the end of World War II, Stoodley tells the story on a year-by-year basis. The book is loaded with pictures of players, teams and venues, many of which were made available from the Times archives. It also includes box scores, team and league statistics and assorted other material he put together from various sources.
The league was the brainchild of minor league commissioner William G. Bramham and the Reverend Harold J. Martin, who was then pastor at St. Raphaels Catholic Church in Heuvelton and was a keen observer of the national pastime.
Representatives at the initial meeting at the church rectory came from Ogdensburg, Watertown and Auburn in New York, along with Kingston in Ontario and Granby and Sherbrooke in Quebec.
The Class C Border League became a reality at a meeting at the Hotel Woodruff in Watertown in January 1946 when it was officially approved by the National Association of Professional Baseball League.
Syracuse businessman and promoter James Doyle owned and operated the Watertown franchise, called the Athletics. John G. Ward of Ogdensburg was the first and only president of the new league.
Back then, Stoodley said, the lower minor leagues were classified according to city population. Class D was up to 25,000, Class C to 30,000 and B to 35,000, he said. You had to have four rookies on each team, and no more than seven players with three years or more of experience.
Granby and Sherbrooke withdrew, citing financial losses, after the first season when attendance was a little over 238,000. In January, 1947, Ottawa and Geneva were officially welcomed into the Border League fold, and league attendance climbed to 386,000 as the schedule increased from 120 to 130 games.
Stoodley said that after the war, professional baseball players were looking for jobs anywhere they could find them. Pay was about $30-$50 per week, with the better players making $55. The level of play was pretty good because most of the players had at least some experience.
In the first season, Watertown drew 43,769 fans, according to Stoodleys statistics. That was second behind Kingston with 50,397. The Athletics then beat Kingston four games to three in the championship series.
Among the stars of the first-year Athletics was Fred Gerken, a native of St. Louis who was acquired from AAA Louisville of the American Association. He was a left-handed pitcher, as well as a good-hitting first baseman and outfielder.
Gerken, who went on to win league MVP honors in 1947 and 1948, played 17 minor league seasons, including the last seven at the AAA level.
He was one of the few players who stayed in the city after his playing days were over, and is perhaps better known for his golfing prowess, as well as that of sons Gary and Dave and daughter Lanie.
On Sept. 19, 1947, the day after 4,000 fans saw a playoff game at the Watertown Fairgrounds, a fire destroyed the grandstand. The city and team considered building a new park at the site of the now Northland Plaza, but eventually decided to stay at the fairgrounds site.
In December of 1947, Doyle signed former major league pitcher Bob Shawkey to manage the Athletics. Shawkey won 196 games from 1912-30 for the Philadelphia Athletics and New York Yankees.
To get a name player like that to manage in the league was huge, Stoodley said. After that, the league and team continued to get quality players from all over. Jim Doyle had a lot of connections around the country.
Ogdensburg won the playoff title over Watertown in the 1948 season as attendance increased again to 351,912.
The Athletics were purchased by Watertown Sports, Inc. in 1949. Clyde Graves was elected president of the team.
The league then saw attendance dive in 1950. The loss of one of the anchor cities, Ottawa, to the International League in 1951, commenced the death knell for the Border League.
Ultimately, TV and losing one of the anchor teams made it impossible for the league to continue, Stoodley said. Even the four original teams (Watertown, Ogdensburg, Auburn and Kingston) decided it was fruitless to continue.
