PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Rutgers fired basketball coach Mike Rice on Wednesday after a videotape aired showing him shoving, grabbing and throwing balls at players in practice and using gay slurs during practice.
The videotape, broadcast Tuesday on ESPN, prompted sharp criticism from Gov. Chris Christie, and the head of the New Jersey Assembly called for Rice to be fired.

A new lobbying group of five big Silicon Valley firms reflects concerns that Washington may not understand the benefits of booming fintech. Banks have long made similar complaints about Uncle Sam. Like them, the industry needs to realize that regulation can help rein in excess.
Edward Hadas: The uses and abuses of GDP
The standard measure of output is a useful indicator of short-term trends. It can also help compare levels of development. In poor countries, faster GDP growth is a good policy goal. But in richer countries, GDP-think misses important economic changes and challenges.
China's positive data hides healthy economic pain
Surprisingly high inflation and a big monthly trade surplus are misleading. Producer prices are falling and exports slowing. But the news is not bad enough to provoke monetary stimulus. Reformers think slowing growth pains are required to make China's economy more balanced.
China slows down just enough
Evidence that China is slowing sounds like fodder for double-dip doom-mongers. But investors have taken a fall in the manufacturing index to a 17-month low in their stride. With further cooling measures now looking unnecessary, they are probably right to be sanguine.

Growth Seen in Number of Doctors and Nurses
Byline: Lee Bowman Scripps Howard News Service
Among the dire assumptions about the future of health care in the United States, one of the more persistent has been that the numbers of doctors and nurses are dwindling rapidly.
But several new reports released this fall suggest the shortfalls among key health workers may not be so great as once feared, at least on a national scale.
Think no one wants to work hard enough to be a doctor anymore?
At the nation's 135 accredited medical schools, the number of first-time applicants increased to an all-time high this year, with nearly 33,000 students and a little less than 44,000 applicants. Actual enrollment was up 3 percent, to 19,230, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges surveys released in October and December.
At the other end of the physician work span, the percentage of physicians who are 60 and older remained at about 25 percent in 2010. Although most doctors in recent decades have retired in their 60s and few are active into their 70s, several recent studies suggest that trend is slowing, helping to stave off doctor shortages.
According to the AAMC, in 2010 there were 244 active physicians and 215 physicians active in patient care for each 100,000 people in the U.S., up by about 5 percent and 2 percent, respectively, since 2008.
Even with continued growth in the number and class sizes of medical schools, the association and other groups still fear the nation could face a shortage of some 90,000 physicians by midcentury.
In early December, researchers reported in the journal Health Affairs a more dramatic trend gleaned from census surveys: the number of 23- to 26-year-olds who became registered nurses increased by 62 percent between 2002 to 2009, a rate not seen since the 1970s. …

I'm all over the place when it comes to traditional or unique names. My 1st baby is Tyler (traditional), and his middle name is Rajiv, which is Sanskrit. 2nd baby is Kaili (unique spelling) and middle name Rose (very traditional). My last baby is Mason (traditional) and middle name is Joaquim, the middle name of all the men in DH's family. My name is fairly unique, Jameela, and I remember hating it when I was a kid. I love it now, but I don't want my child to be to tortured by too different of a name either. We have a girl name for this baby, which I love, but no boy names decided on yet.

|MAHLE KONIG KOMMANDITGESELLSCHAFT GMBH & CO. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|Piston ring - A piston ring with an upper part ring having an upper ring surface and with a lower part ring having a lower ring surface, and with a ring spring which is arranged between the part rings and acts with spring force upon these radially outward, characterized in that each of the two part rings has, on its circular-ring surface in each case facing the other part ring, a plurality of elevations arranged so as to be separated from one another by depression regions, with plateau surfaces which are parallel to the ring surfaces and are flat-planar or descend and which have in each case, the ring axis of the respective part ring, toward an inner-flank indentation which emanates, oriented parallel to the ring axis, from the plateau surfaces and runs out toward said spring axis, in each case parallel to the upper and the lower ring surface, and which has a quarter-circle-shaped cross section, the radius rv of said inner-flank indentation being 1 to 10% larger than the outer radius of the circle cross section of the common inner-flank indentation which is formed by the indentations of the part rings jointly forming the piston ring and which has a semicircular cross section.
|Piston, Cylinder and Piston Assembly and Piston Ring for a Piston - A piston includes a piston head, two skirt walls disposed opposite one another and at least one pin bearing disposed between the skirt walls and supported on the piston head. Each skirt wall extends over a partial region of the periphery of the piston or piston head. The two skirt walls are connected by at least one self-supporting support wall disposed at a distance from the piston head. A cylinder and piston assembly and a piston ring for a cylinder, are also provided.
|Method and Apparatus for Inserting a Piston Pin Locking Ring - A process for inserting a piston pin locking ring, particular slotted snap ring, into a locking groove of a pin bore of a piston. The piston pin locking ring is radially pre-tightened and reduced in size in a first step in such a manner that its outside diameter becomes smaller than the inner diameter of the pin bore. The piston pin locking ring is subsequently introduced in the pre-tightened state into the pin bore without contact and without contacting the inner wall of the pin bore and is brought in position inside the pin bore in the area of the locking groove. Then the piston pin locking ring is freed by a relaxing and loosening of the tightening force and by springing into the locking groove and is thus fixed in place.

Could the USA Find Inspiration In Sweden's Energy Policy?
The USA could learn a number of valuable lessons from Sweden about energy policy. The Swedish Trade delegation recently sponsored a Smart Grid roundtable in San Francisco with Anna-Karin Hatt, Minister for Information Technology and Energy in the government of Sweden's Ministry of Enterprise, Energy and Communications. Several Silicon Valley Smart Grid organizations, including resources from Oracle, Silver Springs Networks, EPRI, and the Smart Grid Library participated with moderation by Lars Friberg, the Swedish attaché for Climate and Energy.
Ms. Hatt set the knowledge foundation for the roundtable by describing Sweden's energy policy targets for 2020:
- Achieve 50% renewables. This is the highest target in the European Union, and they are on track to achieve it as they were at 48.9% in 2010.
- Deliver 20% more savings through energy efficiency measures than today – and Sweden already scores well here too
- Reduce emissions 40% from 1990 levels, and by 2030, eliminate fossil fuels from their vehicle fleets.
By 2050, the country aims to be carbon neutral. These are serious energy policy goals that starkly contrast to the conflicted USA energy policy. The Swedish government understands that 80% of the world's current energy consumption is fossil fuels, and that's a significant problem for energy security, environmental balance, and economic competitiveness. The leadership concluded that they don't need to remain part of the problem. With the support of their citizens, Sweden intends to become part of the solution – which is to achieve independence from fossil fuels. Sweden plans to be in the forefront of the energy market evolution – and indeed they already have been.
There are three cornerstones for their policy objectives that cover economic competitiveness, economic sustainability, and security of energy supplies. To do that will require increasing renewables at utility-scale and through distributed generation with renewables in the distribution grid. The Minister acknowledged that renewables create a challenge for grid operations insofar as their variabilities need to be managed, but that isn't impeding their planning. They are careful to structure policy goals and conditions for actions, but not dictate how the transitions to more renewables should occur. As Ms. Hatt noted, "we're only at the beginning of a truly transformative period world wide, in which there will be enormous investments in energy efficiency and renewables technologies and services."
The government in Sweden recently established a Smart Grid Council and charged its appointees with establishing a national knowledge platform for its citizens that would raise awareness of Smart Grid benefits for all stakeholders and create an action plan that identified evolving business models and research gaps. The minister indicated that there is much to learn about consumer reactions to electricity price variations and detailed consumption data.
Sweden is making significant advances to modernize their electrical grid and integrate clean energy sources into it and transportation infrastructures. So why did this forward-thinking government ministry convene with Silicon Valley Smart Grid players? To collaborate on technology development, business and financial model innovations, and consumer/prosumer transformations. This roundtable was just the first step to exchange ideas and information, such as the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) programs and other creative approaches to finance renewables in the distribution grid for residential and commercial customers. One key takeaway for us American participants – we shouldn't limit our thinking in terms of the ambitious goals we could and should set for an energy policy that promotes energy independence from fossil fuels, and therefore delivers energy, economic, and environmental security.
The Swedish Trade delegation is planning a seminar in the San Francisco Bay Area in the first half of 2013 to continue this discussion, so stay tuned for more information and inspiration.

Craigmillar Park
If you would like to play a golf course that is close to the centre of Edinburgh yet within the Green belt; with fantastic views down the coast of East Lothian and across the Firth to Fife; then look no further than Craigmillar Park Golf Club. Although partly built on the hillside next to Blackford Hill, the course is largely rolling parkland in character. The tree planting carried out over a number of years has enhanced the appearance and increased the difficulties for the wayward golfer. Craigmillar Park is host to the first Scottish Amateur 72 hole event of the season. Scotlands leading amateurs and many players from south of the border descend on the course in April each year to take part in this event previously won by 6 times major winner Sir Nick Faldo.

Situated to the west of Edinburgh, Kingsknowe golf club is within easy reach of all Scotland via the Edinburgh City Bypass. Originally designed by Alec Herd, the 1902 Open champion, the course was later redesigned by James Braid.The parkland golf course in Edinburgh is laid out over and through the valleys of gently rolling hills on which Oliver Cromwell's army gathered to bombard Redhall Castle in 1650. The hills now define the picturesque cherry tree-lined fairways from which the mindful golfer must propel his ball to the well-guarded and relatively small greens.

I stayed at this hotel for one night to attend a dinner in the centre of Edinburgh. Whilst the furniture in the room was maybe a little bit dated, the room itself was a very good size and the bed was massive. The hotel was about a 15-20 walk from Haymarket station and slightly longer to the centre of the city. Whilst it is in a fairly busy road, it seemed peaceful, the staff were exceptionally friendly and the hotel provided a good location to explore the city. I would have no hesitation returning to this hotel, hopefully for a bit longer the next time. less

Wasn't Gwen's father executed for allegedly using magic in an earlier season? It's been awhile since I watched the old seasons, though, so I might be wrong. Did she ever find out he was set up? Maybe she thinks her father might have used magic.
I think Gwen is confident that her father was innocent, but she probably doesn't know what happened. Gwen knows, based on what her father told her, that he didn't know he was getting into anything involving magic, but did know that the situation was fishy enough that he was afraid to tell her about it. While innocent of deliberate involvement in sorcery, the blacksmith's mistake was to allow the lure of money to make him disregard his own doubts about a client. So Gwen knows that a sorcerer got her father into the situation that got him killed.
Gwen does know that he was falsely accused of conspiring with a sorcerer, and died for it. This combines with her own two close calls with nearly being executed by Uther for sorcery, and the ravages of the witchfinder framing everyone he could, and she should have a deep sympathy for the falsely accused and a strong interest in never seeing anyone falsely convicted of any crime.
But have her experiences ever taught her that those with REAL magic aren't necessarily evil? She saw the boy Mordred as an innocent, but wouldn't know he had magic (she wasn't there when he exploded the mirror). She did see the magic she believed Merlin's friend Will conjured to help in the first battle of Ealdor, so that's something. I can't think of anything else. Oh! The first time she was falsely charged with sorcery, she might understand that someone had healed her father with magic, but she may not have understood that, and if she did she might not be as grateful as you might think given how it turned out. With as many horrible things she's seen caused by magic, it would be hard to blame her for remaining in the sorcery-is-evil camp.

Egypt's political crisis has been building since President Mohammed Morsi, a former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, issued a decree on Nov. 22 that gave him absolute powers until Dec. 15, the day of a national referendum on an Islamist-backed constitution, which prompted deadly street battles between his supporters and their opponents. The insistence of the opposition that Morsi must cancel the Dec. 15 referendum may not be in the national interest; however, compromise is both possible and urgently required, Turkish columnists agree.
Sami Kohen from the Milliyet daily says the scenes today in Cairo remind one of what we saw before the democratic revolution early last year. The protests then were to topple the decades-old dictatorship of then-President Hosni Mubarak and bring freedom, equality and democracy to the country. Yet today's protests target the democratically elected Morsi, who is seen by the protesters as a "new Pharaoh" or a "copy of Mubarak." Another difference in today's protests is that the public is split into two groups: secularists and Islamists, whereas the people against Mubarak were clashing with security forces in last year's protests. All of this tells us that the revolution is not yet complete in post-Mubarak Egypt, he notes.
Bugün's Ahmet Taşgetiren also comments on the crisis in Egypt, saying, "Morsi has done everything according to democratic norms and that the people protesting in the streets do not indicate that the whole of the Egyptian people are against Morsi and his acts. What is happening now is that the protesters who are led and provoked by other countries and the 'deep state' that is the remnants of Mubarak's regime have mobilized to weaken the Muslim Brotherhood and that's all."
Hilal Kaplan of the Yeni Şafak daily also thinks Morsi is not to be blamed for expanding his presidential authorities because Morsi was aware of plans to hamper his efforts to restructure Egyptian politics and present Egyptians with a brand new constitution. Thus, the criticisms that Morsi became another dictator are just wrong, Kaplan asserts. She believes that if Morsi steps back now and gives in to the protesters, the military tutelage in the country will be further encouraged and attempt to overthrow civilian politics. Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood are the victims of a power struggle that aims to topple a democratically elected president and to hamper the efforts for a new constitution.

Nigel has this great post:
Where he is commenting on a regurgapost from Slashdot to a Computerworld article titled "'Nightmare' drove desperate user to open source"! Whoop, here we go again!
FM! Here is yet another poor excuse for news! I mean, it's becoming more prevalent, so called professional reporters and writers with no "on the ground" knowledge or experience, hunt down a small snippet of truth, then twist it un-recognisably into "fact". So let's look at Rodney's article, to get a feeling for the "Nightmare"…
First line or the article starts off with a beauty:
LOL, way to go Mark! You should take that kind of wisdom out to the consulting arm of PWC and see how it pans out. But that's a cheap shot, so let's keep going forward…
Not sure what servers going up and down has to do with Windows, as software has a hard dependency on metal, so if you're server is running in a poor data centre environment for example, and the CPU is overheating, then everything from OS/2 Warp to Windows for Workgroups is going to go "up and down". Hmm, I'd like to read an article which actually explores the why a little more. Next statement cracks the case though:
Well, that's a gimme! Off course if you're comfortable with something, and know it in and out, then there is a high percentage that you will implement it correctly, and it will work. For example, I make great turkey and potato chip sandwiches, but my salmon and cream cheese ones suck, so if I go into a shop where the lunch special is salmon and cream cheese, and no one likes em, what do you think I'm going to lead with to win the war?
Finally, the cherry on top:
Oh marvellous, Mark got a big raise! So what is Computerworld's message to the industry? "Don't ask anyone, deploy Open Source, save lots of money, and get a big raise and promotion!". Please! If perpetuating the "Microsoft versus OSS war" wasn't enough (grow up IT news orgs, as if anyone really thinks that way anymore), they insult our intelligence with the concept that life should be so simple. Urghh, as I've said before, IT news is going down the path of ACA and Today Tonight.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Strengthening OMG's Consulting Competence
Racial and ethnic heritage often impede people's pursuit of quality education, health, home, and community. Persisting negative attitudes, policies, and structures continue to create disparities that keep African Americans and Latinos at a disadvantage.
As social sector advisors, OMG is committed to improving the quality of life and opportunity for all people. But to help people achieve better outcomes, philanthropic and nonprofit advisors like OMG must understand their own attitudes toward diverse populations. They must have appropriate tools to frame, analyze, and uncover the causes underlying persistent inequities of experience and opportunity. Finally, to build a consulting practice committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), it is essential to institutionalize organizational policies that build and support the DEI skills of all staff.
Read our latest issue brief to learn about what OMG is doing to increase its organizational capacities in DEI, and the early lessons we have learned.

Japan's fierce samurai warriors were brought down by a penchant for lead-based makeup among women, which made their children grow up deformed, disabled and retarded, a new study has found.
An analysis of bones of children who lived as many as 400 years ago showed sky-high lead levels, which scientists now think came from their mothers' makeup.
Japan was ruled by a series of shoguns during the Edo period, from 1603 to 1867, 'LiveScience' reported.
Researchers led by Tamiji Nakashima, anatomist at the University of Occupational and Environmental Health in Kitakyushu, studied the remains of 70 samurai men, their wives and children.
They sampled the lead in rib bones, and X-rayed some of the children's long arm and leg bones looking for signs of lead poisoning. They found kids with enough lead in their systems to cause severe intellectual impairment.
Children under age 3 were the worst off, with a median level of 1,241 micrograms of lead per gram of dry bone. That's more than 120 times the level thought to cause neurological and behavioural problems today and as much as 50 times higher than levels the team found in samurai adults. Older kids' levels were lower, but still very high.
Five of the children had unusual bone enlargements, and X-rays revealed banding that only turns up in children with at least 70 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood.
Scientists understand that blood-lead levels of just 10 micrograms per deciliter can cause "lowered intelligence, reading and learning disabilities, impaired hearing, reduced attention span, hyperactivity, and anti-social behaviour," according to an Environmental Protection Agency website.
Nakashima and colleagues showed that samurai women had higher lead levels in their bones than samurai men did, and the researchers' suspicions settled on the women's cosmetics.
A lead-based white face powder was fashionable among the elite during the Edo period, introduced by celebrity geisha, courtesans and Kabuki actors.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Bucks begin the stretch run
Auburn Hills, Mich. – Coach Scott Skiles was as curious as anyone to see how his team would perform in its first game back from the all-star break, especially against the Detroit Pistons who won the previous three games between the teams.
"You never know what you're going to get coming off the break," said Skiles before Tuesday night's game at the Palace of Auburn Hills. "Sometimes you just hit the ground running. Sometimes teams can be lethargic for a game or two. Sometimes for a week. This is my first time with this group going through this so I don't know.
"We had a really spirited workout yesterday. The guys were good. We were good at shoot around this morning. We appeared to look the same way we did before the break. But, this (Detroit) team, we haven't won a game against them this year. They've really bothered us. So we have to make some adjustments from the other times we've played and hopefully if we do those things and have a lot of energy, we'll have a chance to win."
The game was played against the backdrop of Thursday's trade deadline and while Skiles wouldn't get into specifics he did say that general manager John Hammond had been busy seeing what possibilities were out there.
"John's working the phone like every other GM," said Skiles. "Trying to see if there's things out there that can make us better."
Skiles did acknowledge, though, that trades are not easy to make in today's NBA even though New Orleans today sent Tyson Chandler to Oklahoma City for three players.
"(Making a trade is) very difficult," said Skiles. "It just is. Obviously, there was a deal done today with Chandler so deals can be done. But it's very challenging. Even in a year where maybe we don't have the economic concern, it's very difficult.
"This year, in particular one of the common elements is a lot of teams would like to shed salary. A lot of times when teams have the same goal, deals don't get done. So it's just one of the things that happens. But like I said, a deal got done today. A major deal even, but they're very difficult to do."

Ceramaster patagonicus
Ceramaster patagonicus, the cookie star, is a species of sea star. It is bright orange or yellow in colour. Its arms are short and it has no spines. It is a deep water species and lives on rocky sea beds. Its diet includes sponges.
The World Register of Marine Species lists four subspecies:[1]
- Ceramaster patagonicus euryplax H.L. Clark, 1923
- Ceramaster patagonicus fisheri Bernasconi, 1963
- Ceramaster patagonicus patagonicus (Sladen, 1889)
- Ceramaster patagonicus productus Djakonov, 1950
The cookie star is roughly pentagonal in shape with a diameter of up to 16 centimetres (6.3 in). It has a slightly inflated, broad central disc and five short rays. The aboral (upper) surface is covered with neatly arranged flat-topped scales, polygonal in the central area and hexagonal on the rays. Between the rays the scales are small and crowded together. There is a marginal row of distinctive larger scales forming a bevelled edge. Sometimes the disc and ray areas are swollen with sunken inter-radial areas between. This may happen when the starfish has recently fed or when its gonads are enlarged prior to spawning. The general colour is yellow, orange or pink.[2][3] It is larger than the rather similar Arctic cookie star (Ceramaster arcticus) and does not have red patches on the aboral surface as that species often has.[4]
The cookie star is found in the Southern Ocean, the Strait of Magellan and in Australian and New Zealand waters.[1] It is also found on the west coast of North and South America from Alaska southwards to Cape Horn.[3] It is a deep water species, in the Southern Ocean being found at depths varying between 100 and 5,000 metres (330 and 16,400 ft) but is commonest at depths less than 250 metres (820 ft).[2]
The cookie star feeds on sponges such as the cloud sponge (Aphrocallistes vastus ) and the chocolate puffball sponge (Latrunculia austini).[3] The Morning sun star (Solaster dawsoni) is a predatory starfish that feeds on other starfish. If approached by a morning sun star, a cookie star does not attempt to flee, although this would be a pointless strategy as the cookie star is a very slow crawler. The morning sun star climbs on top in its usual attacking position but soon gives up and looks very sick, apparently repelled by a toxic chemical substance. In an experiment, four cookie stars were kept in a tank with a number of hungry morning sun stars for a period of two months, but none were harmed.[3]

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Tim' tag.
Here is a link to Tim's solo. It was truly wonderful. I hope that wherever life leads him in the next years, that music remains a big part of his life.
Every once in a while, you get a whole lot of good all at one time. This weekend was one of those times. We were very fortunate to share a very special weekend with our families and our very dear friends. It really doesn't get any better than that. Every year the high school's music department puts forth a Bistro evening where the honors ensembles perform during a three course dinner and then perform an evening concert. It is a wonderful night, filled with lots of good food and great music. This was Tim's last year to perform in Bistro and I was privileged to share it with those folks that I hold close to my heart. Then, we all were able to celebrate Easter together on Sunday. I know I have said it before, but I am very lucky to have such wonderful people in my life and I am so very, very proud of my son, Tim and his wonderful performance.
Here are some pictures from the weekend and the show.
My handsome nephews
My handsome boys
My dearest friends who came quite the distance to share the weekend with us.
My in-laws and my mom with the grandsons
Our family picture
Today our youngest turns 17. How time flies, seems like only yesterday he was placed in my arms. Funny though how life comes around full circle. When Tim was born, or actually the night prior to his birth, when Tom was putting TJ into his pjs we discovered that he had chicken pox, which appeared like magic over the course of an hour or so. Since I was very pregnant and overdue, wherever one brother was, the other was too, so there was no question that Tyler had been exposed. I went into the hospital the next day and the other two boys had an extended stay with Mimi and Poppy. When Tim came home 48 hours later from the hospital, he was the only kid in the Heffernan house since it would be about another week or so before we could see the boys and they could meet their new little brother. Having just one newborn in the house after a house of two toddlers was like a piece of cake. I think that my husband's words were something to the effect that he could strap the newborn on his back and climb a mountain with no worries and no great effort. In a few weeks, his two brothers will be going off to college and Tim will once again have our undivided attention for a while.
To say that I am proud of Tim and the young man he has become is an understatement. He constantly amazes me and in the words of his brother, I can't wait to see what's in store for his future. He has a big year…senior year… ahead of him.
We celebrated short one brother. Tim and his girlfriend made his birthday dessert, Tiramisu which was delicious. Here are some pictures of the day.
Happy Birthday Tim — we love you!
This week Tim, our youngest, is attending the American Legion's Boys Nation at Marymount University. He was selected as one of the two Vermont delegates to attend on behalf of our state. It is a great honor and Tim of course is taking it all very seriously. I don't need to say I am very proud of him. They campaigned and elected their federal officers which mirror the federal government including a President, Vice President and the like. We watched the elections which were streamed live and have been keeping up with the week's activities. The group, consisting of 98 young men, have visited the monuments at Washington D.C., the Pentagon and Arlington Cemetery. They will be visiting the Capitol where they will have the opportunity to meet their senators. They are even supposed to have the opportunity to meet the President.
Here is Tim's Senate photo.
It is our understanding that he is the Senate whip, for those of you familiar with House of Cards. Go Tim!
A good friend of the family brought to my attention that if Tim gets the opportunity to shake the President's hand, I should be a good mom and save those photos. Another Boys Nation participant in 1963 who had the opportunity to shake JFK's hand, walked into the Oval Office in his own right decades later. One never knows, does one?
If you would like to peek in on what is going on in Boys Nation, here is the link to their website.
Tonight, Tim had the honor of presenting a program for the Wallingford Historical Society on navigating Ancestry.com. He did a great job researching his own family tree in order to be able to explain to the audience at Town Hall the tips and tricks of researching your own genealogy. Yet another reason to be proud of my sons!
It is so hard to believe that TJ will be graduating in a few weeks, making prom even more tear jerking. I warned him that this would be the first of many tear filled events for his mother over the coming weeks.
To make a special day even better, it was a historic event in the Heffernan house. It marks the first and last time that all three boys attended the same prom. Here is Tyler and his date
And last, but not least, Tim with prom date.
Well, maybe a little more than a chill. The day after I packed away all the winter turtlenecks and heavy sweaters, the temperatures dipped into the low 30s and there were snow flurries flying around on the hill this morning. The temperatures last night dipped down low enough to have frost and freeze warnings. Hard to believe that when we were at church on Sunday for the May crowing that it was a beautiful spring day and we saw our first finches at the feeders.
Tim was invited to participate in a celebration honoring the parish members who received confirmation and communion. After mass the kids participated in the May crowning.
The crowning was a little less than traditional, since Mary was already wearing a crown of sorts — a robin had nested at the top of the statute. So the flower crown was carefully placed in her hands instead.
It was cold enough all day here to warrant the wood stove being cranked back up again. Amazing to think that in mid-May we are still keeping warm by the fire — with hot cocoa no less.
As we prepare to head up to Winooski to listen to Tim perform with his classmates in the All State Chorus, on this beautiful spring Friday afternoon, I thought I would share some of the photos from Bistro.
It has been a wonderful, musical year and I'm very, very proud of my vocalist. In the words of his brother — he has the voice of an angel.

Last week and weekend, Tim auditioned for and was selected to participate in the New England Music Festival in Burlington, Connecticut. He and a few of his fellow classmates from Mill River (11 in all) traveled down and were hosted by local families. They worked for several days rehearsing music that they had been working on for months, since they found out they had been accepted. They performed a concert with other students from the New England states under the direction of a conductor from Michigan State University.It was a whole new level of experience for them. The kids appreciated the scope of what they had been chosen to be a part of and learned a lot. The music was beautiful. The experience for them was extraordinary.
Tim promised to cook me dinner for my birthday. Last week, he didn't have time with school, homework and play practice and I didn't feel much up to eating, so it all worked out well. Tonight, he made that birthday dinner. He cooked a delicious gluten free Mexican lasagna for dinner. It was delicious! He cleaned the whole kitchen to boot. Nothing to do but put dishes in the dishwasher when we were done.
Thanks Tim — you are awesome!
Fifteen years ago today, my youngest son came into this world. Kicking and screaming and not intended to have a "T" name like the rest of us, he arrived. Before he left the delivery room, he did acquire the "T" name of Tim. He completed the circle of our family. It has been wonderful to watch this little one grow into the young man that he is becoming. My heart has swelled with pride so many times with things that Tim has done that I'm surprised it hasn't exploded. In the words of his brother, he has the voice of an angel and I could listen to him sing all day long. He is our actor and our singer. He has given us hours of entertainment, from his earliest "animal action" dancing to his most recent serenade of "Breakfast at Tiffanys" at this year's bistro. One of my favorite things is that he never minds that I want to take his picture.
As he embarks on his next year, I know he has lots of good things ahead of him.
Happy Birthday Tim, we love you!

Modern technology has facilitated great advancements in television and entertainment. A perfect example of this technology was on display when the Los Angeles chapter was able to reserve a room at Q's Billiard Club in order to watch the Generals play Hampden-Sydney for the ODAC football championship via satellite. The Generals thrashed the Tigers and went to the NCAA-DIII national tourney! Over 350 alumni that live in the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas.
