2001: A Twins Oddity
Why the retro pics? Well, the last time the Twins defeated Andy Pettitte, the date was April 30, the year was 2001, Brad Radke pitched a complete game to run his record to 5-0, and Doug Mientkiewicz went 2-3 with a homer to up his average to .380 on the season. Radke is now long since retired and Minty is a 35 year old glove/walk machine. That should tell you all you need to know about today's lopsided affair.
Basically, Pettitte shut us down once again, and while Liriano pitched well enough to keep us in the game, the bullpen finally imploded under the pressure in the late innings. If old Andy can do this to us, I can only imagine what would have happened had we drew Sabathia in this series (would we even need to play the game?).
When will this miserable streak end?
-Any thoughts as to why Jesse Crain still has a major league job?
Preview (22-14, 1.5 GB DET): Nick Blackburn (3-1, 4.76) vs. Sergio Mitre (0-1, 3.86). Don't so much care about the Yankee Curse in this one as just scraping out a win before the Tigers catch us again.

The Suspended Meteora Monasteries in Greece
Meteora are perched on the pinnacles of Thessaly in central Greece. Without a doubt, Meteora is one of the most remarkable and stunning places on earth. Even their name reveals their uniqueness: Meteora comes from the Greek word meteoros, which means suspended in the air.
Meteora Monasteries feature 24 monasteries, the second larger complex after the monasteries community in Mount Athos in Northern Greece. The medieval monasteries in Meteora are built on top of the imposing rock pillars that dominate the plain of Thessaly close to Kalambaka and Pineios River.
Strange but utterly breathtaking, the scenery in Meteora stuns all visitors. The landscape seems as if sculpted by earth, water and wind over centuries; nevertheless, these vertical rocks attract not only tourists and religious followers, but also climbers who imitate the feat of the hermit monks who were climbing the rocks back in the 11th century AD.
History of Meteora Monasteries
The exact time of the construction of Meteora Monasteries is not known; the predominant theory suggests that during the 10th and 11th century AD, hermits were living in caves and openings in the rocks, which offered them the ideal retreat and refuge from the Turkish attacks.
Towards the end of the 11th century the hermits formed a primordial monastic state, which was called Skete of Stagoi. According to known historical facts, the first monastery established by the hermits was the one of Theotokos (the mother of Christ in Greek) at the end of the 11th century. The monastic communities created afterwards were centered around the monastery of Theotokos, called Theotokos of Doupiani.
At the 14th century, the larger complex of monasteries, Athos, was already under the siege of Turks, as the Byzantine Empire was running to seed. Three of the monks of Athos, Athanasius, Gregory and Moses, left Athos and went to Meteora where they formed some communities of monks, building cells and chapels in the caves and the slopes of the rocks. In 1356 the Serbian Emperor Simeon Uros allowed them to establish a new monastery, known as the Church of the Transfiguration.
Athanasius and John Uros, son of the Serbian Emperor, decided to work on the expansion of the monasteries and the monastic community in the area. By the end of the 14th century, there were almost 20 monasteries and churched built, but soon after the death of the two men, decay hit the complex of Meteora Monasteries.
From the 24 monasteries built in Meteora until the 16th century, only six remain almost intact (or restored): the Great Meteoron (the originally named Monastery of the Transfiguration), Varlaam, St. Stephen, Holy Trinity, St. Nicholas Anapausas and Rousanou.
How to get to Meteora Monasteries
The access to the monasteries in Meteora was very difficult at first; the hermits and the first monks that came later were using ropes and hanging ladders and nets to haul up people and needed goods. According to historians, many people died as the ropes were breaking, but according to the monks it was God's will to have the ropes replaced when damaged. Monks descended in the net or used the retractable rope ladders that over-hanged the chasm.
Later during the 1920s steps were carved on the rocks, creating the only easy access to the monasteries, while a bridge from the nearby plateau, allowed people to reach the buildings faster. However, the history of the tormented rocks was yet to know a new twist; during the World War II the rocks were bombed and a great amount of the monastic treasury was stolen. The six monasteries remaining today were restored, housing today less than ten residents each.
The Meteora Monasteries are among the protected sites in the UNESCO World Heritage list of monuments.
An interesting story about the Meteora Monasteries
Normally, endless legends and stories accompany the evolution and development of the suspended monasteries in Meteora. One of them is both touching and with a particular effect on the life of Meteora monasteries and their faithful followers:
Once, a Turk went to cut woods in the woodland below the ascetic pillar of St George. During the cutting, a bole fell on him and he was severely wounded. His wife found him and pledged her yashmak to the Saint, urging the Saint to help her husband. Indeed, her husband was saved and the woman dedicated her yashmak to St George.
Since then, on the name day of St George, youngsters climb one of the steep and dangerous slopes hanging handkerchiefs dedicated to the Saint. The following year, these handkerchiefs will be replaced by new ones and so on.
Best time to visit the Meteora Monasteries
The monasteries of Meteora can be visited all year long, but the region features a rather humid climate and weather can be quite cool during January throughout March. The high season for Meteora starts in April and ends toward the end of November, while the weather is still comfortably warm and facilitates the tours to Meteora and the lovely nearby area.

El Camino Snaps Women's Volleyball 23-Match Conference Win Streak, 3-0
After winning back-to-back state titles in 2007 and 2008, the perennially strong El Camino College women's volleyball team took a back seat to Pasadena City College last year when the Lancers went undefeated to win the South Coast Conference title.
PCC's recent SCC run has been so dominating that its streak had reached 23 consecutive matches won in conference play going back to 2008. El Camino looked for an opportunity to return the volley back at Pasadena Friday night. The Lancers would make 26 unforced errors on attacks, serves and ball-handling as the state's No. 3-ranked team was swept by the No. 5 Warriors, 25-19, 26-24, 25-10, at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium.
Pasadena had not been swept in a match since opening day of last season when Cypress beat the Lancers in three games. That particular non-sweep streak lasted 35 matches.
Led by Kaitlyn Edwards' 13 kills and setter Sarah McFadden's 38 assists, El Camino improved to 12-2 and now lead the SCC at 3-0. PCC drops to second place at 2-1 in conference and 10-3 overall.
PCC's offense slipped against El Camino, hitting an uncharacteristic .079 with 21 attack errors and just 30 kills in 114 attempts. Outside hitter Markisha Richie was the only Lancer in double digits in kills with 11. Setter Danielle Stewart added 24 assists, 10 digs and three kills while libero Jessica Vargas had 11 digs. Defensive specialists Katherine Gonzalez and Brenda Moscoso added eight digs a piece.
For El Camino, Ashleigh Gideon had a double-double with 12 kills and a match-high 16 digs while Kaye Lani Tanuvasa contributed 10 kills.
PCC would take a 7-1 lead early in the second game, but eventually fell behind, 17-14. The Warriors would take that decisive set on a clinching ace from Donella DiDomenico. Edwards would then put on a hitting show in game 3 as she slammed down seven kills to help finish off the sweep.
PCC will try to regroup next Wednesday, October 13 when it hosts East Los Angeles College in a 6 p.m. conference match.

For the next two Saturdays, you won't be able to turn on a TV without coming across One Direction. The British boy band will take the stage this Saturday for the Kids' Choice Awards, and next Saturday, they'll be the musical guest on "Saturday Night Live."
"We're gonna be in L.A. for the Kids' Choice Awards. We're doing a big performance with that," Niall Horan told MTV News about the annual Nickelodeon awards show. "Kids' Choice is the biggest night on Nickelodeon, and all the big stars are going to be there, and when we found out it was just us and Katy Perry performing , we were like, 'Geez, this is a big deal.' "
Once they wrap up that gig, the guys will have a few days to prep for their "SNL" debut, another big moment that proves the chart-topping Brits are taking America by storm .
"We obviously get American TV in the U.K., and I've watched 'Saturday Night Live' before … and 'Saturday Night Live' is a big, big deal, everyone knows that. And when we got invited on, we couldn't believe it," Horan said. "Again, we haven't spent a lot of time here, so a lot of people don't know who we are, so to be invited on such a prestigious American show is pretty amazing."
Horan said he'd love the chance to show off his funny side with "SNL" stars Kristin Wiig and Bill Hader, if given the chance. "We heard there could be a possibility [that] 'Saturday Night Live' comes with a skit. We're up for it," he said. "We'd love to do something like that. Nothing has come up, but if it comes up, that's part of the 'Saturday Night Live' experience to do one of their skits."
Which One Direction performance are you most excited for? Let us know in the comments!

The time is long past for Israel to politely but firmly tell Hillary Clinton where she can put her "outrage".
by Caroline Glick
With the nations of Europe and the rest of the world lining up to support the PLO bid to receive non-member state status at the UN General Assembly, it is worth noting two anniversaries of related but forgotten events.
Of course, everyone knows the obvious anniversary – Nov. 29, 1947 was the day the UN General Assembly passed the plan to recommend the partition the British Mandate of Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state. The Jews accepted the plan. The Arabs — both local and regional – rejected it. The local Arabs who 25 years later became known as "Palestinians," responded to the passage of UNGA resolution 181 by launching a terror war against the Jews. Their war was commanded by Iraqi and Lebanese terror masters and supported by the British military and its Arab Legion from Transjordan.
On May 15, 1948 five foreign Arab armies invaded the just-declared Jewish state with the declared aim of annihilating all the Jews.
Now for a couple less known anniversaries
On November 28, 1941 the religious and political leader of the Palestinian Arabs and one of the most influential leaders of the Arab world Haj Amin el Husseini met with Adolf Hitler in Berlin. Husseini had courted the Nazis since just after the Nazis rose to power in 1933. Husseini was forced to flee the British Mandate in 1937 when he expanded his fourth terror war against the Jews, that he began in 1936 to include the British as well.
He fled to Lebanon, and then in October 1939 he fled to Iraq. In April 1941 he fomented a pro-Nazi coup in Iraq. As the British — with massive unheralded assistance from the Jews from the land of Israel — were poised to enter Baghdad and restore the pro-British government, Husseini incited the Farhud, a 3-day pogrom against the Jews of Baghdad that took place over the festival of Shavuot. 150 Jews were murdered. A thousand were wounded and 900 Jewish homes were destroyed.
With the coup defeated and the Jews murdered, Husseini escaped to then pro-Nazi Iran and then in October to Germany by way of Italy. [……..]
He arrived in Berlin and two and a half weeks later he had a prolonged private meeting with Hitler. There, on November 28, 1941, two months before the Wannssee Conference, where the German high command received its first orders to annihilate European Jewry, Hitler told Husseini that he intended to eradicate the Jewish people from the face of Europe.
Husseini remained in Berlin through the end of the war and served as a Nazi agent. In Berlin he broadcast daily diatribes to the Arab world on German shortwave radio in Arabic. Specifically Husseini exhorted them to kill the Jews in the name of Allah and make common cause with the Nazis who would deliver them from the Jews, the British and the Americans.
In 1943 Husseini organized the Hazhar SS Division of Bosnian Muslims. His division carried out the massacre of 90 percent of the Bosnian Jewish community of 12,000.
During the war Husseini used his broadcasts to shape the political and religious consciousness of the Muslim world by fusing Islamic Jew hatred with annihilationist Nazi anti-Semitism. Whereas much of the Nazi anti-Semitic ideology was discredited in postwar Europe, it has remained the single most resonant theme of Arab politics since World War II.
In 1946, as his fellow Nazi war criminals were being tried in Nuremberg, Husseini made a triumphant return to Egypt where he was welcomed as a war hero by King Farouk, the Muslim Brotherhood and the young officers in the Egyptian army who fused Nazi national socialism with the Islamism of the Muslim Brotherhood and took over Egypt after deposing Farouk in 1951.
The founder of Palestinian nationalism's singleminded dedication to the genocide of Jewry brings us to the second notable but forgotten anniversary we passed over this month.
On Nov. 12 1942 the British led forces — with the massive and unreported support of Jewish commando and engineering units from the land of Israel — defeated Germany's Afrika Corps led by Gen. Rommel in the second Battle of Alamein. [……..] Husseini and Himmler had planned that under German occupation, the Arabs would expand the Holocaust to the 800,000 Jews of the Arab world and the 450,000 Jews in the land of Israel. To this end, the Germans had organized the Einzatzgruppen Afrika unit attached to Rommel's army. Under the command of SS LTC Walter Rauff, it was tasked with murdering Jews located in the areas that were to come under German occupation.
It is fitting that yesterday, on the anniversary of Hitler's meeting with Husseini, Germany announced that it would not oppose Husseini's heirs' bid to receive UN recognition of a Palestinian state that seeks Israel's destruction.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Lately there has been some disturbing indications of an increase in anrti-Semtism in Hungary, a nation with a tragic past for its Jews and which has the largest Jewish population in Eastern Europe
BUDAPEST – Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Monday condemned a call by a far-right Jobbik lawmaker to draw up lists of Jews as "unworthy" of his country, promising he would protect all citizens from any kind of discrimination.
Orban was responding to comments by Marton Gyongyosi, one of Jobbik's 44 lawmakers in the 386-seat parliament, who said on November 27 during a debate on violence in the Gaza Strip that it would be "timely" to draw up a list of people of Jewish ancestry who posed a national security risk.
His remarks, for which he later apologized, triggered international outrage. The US Embassy said it condemned "in the strongest terms the outrageous anti-Semitic remarks made on the floor of Parliament by a Jobbik parliamentarian".
Seeking to distance himself and his country from the comments, Orban said Gyongyosi's outburst had no place in modern Hungary.
"Last week sentences were uttered in parliament which are unworthy of Hungary," Orban told parliament, responding to a lawmaker from the opposition Socialist party.
"I rejected this call on behalf of the government and I would like you to know that as long as I am standing in this place, no one in Hungary can be hurt or discriminated against because of their faith, conviction or ancestry."
He and the rest of the country would protect Hungary's Jewish population, he added.
Lawmaker claims his remarks "misunderstood"
Gyongyosi has said his remarks were misunderstood, saying he had only been referring to Hungarians with Israeli passports in the government and parliament. He has refused to resign over the scandal.
On Sunday, more than 10,000 Hungarians protested against the far-right with leaders from governing and opposition parties denouncing Gyongyosi's call, which they said echoed the Nazi era. The rally united the country's deeply divided political scene in an unprecedented way.
Jobbik dismissed the protest as "political alarmism" and Gabor Vona, its leader, told parliament on Monday that Gyongyosi had only been suggesting examining "the citizenship of MPs and government members".
"But there were those professionally frightful, those policy-bereft hysterics who thought otherwise and put on the old record crying anti-Semitism," he said.
"In between two bouts of hysteria you should not forget that this country had been destroyed by Fidesz and the Socialist party, and not Jobbik. And its Jobbik's task to rebuild it."
Orban's conservative Fidesz party swept to power with a two-thirds parliamentary majority in 2010, ousting the Socialists.
The party has since retained support in the recession-hit central European country and some analysts believe it may hold the balance of power between Fidesz and the left-wing opposition in the next elections in 2014.

After getting knocked down and blistered by a combination of power punches courtesy of Orlando Salido, referee Roberto Ramirez Senior called it a night for Puerto Rican featherweight boxer Juan Manuel Lopez.
Though visibly wobbled and in no condition to continue against his Mexican rival, Lopez had some very series comments regarding Ramirez's performance following the fight.
"He is gambler," said Lopez. "He has a gambling problem."
Lopez implied that the fight was stopped early on purpose, to the financial benefit of Ramirez.
Call me forgiving, but Lopez had just been through ten physical rounds where he was hit in the head several times. Maybe Lopez was not in the state of mind to make rational comments following the fight.
None the less, the World Boxing Organization (WBO) - whose featherweigh title was on the line, decided to suspend Lopez from being ranked of fighting in a WBO sanctioned fight for one year.
Today, a week after the comments, Lopez apologized to Ramirez Senior.
"I saw the fight and really I was hurt. Roberto made a good job in stopping the fight. I apologize again to Ramirez and to all the fans in Puerto Rico and around the world", Lopez said.
It might be a little too late for Lopez to receive a pardon from the WBO, though the Puerto Rican fighter has bigger problems.
After losing to Salido twice in a twelve month period, by knockout, Lopez needs to find a manner in which to resurrect his once world-class status.

A lot of my friends, when hear that I sell my images online, start asking me how they can do the same. So, I decided to write this short article about how and where you can sell microstock:
1. What is microctock?
Microstock companies (also called photobanks, or photostocks) are companies that
(1) source their images almost exclusively via the Internet,
(2) do so from a wider range of photographers than the traditional stock agencies (including a willingness to accept images from "amateurs" and hobbyists),
(3) sell their images at a very low rate (anywhere from $.20 – $10) for a Royalty-Free (RF) image. (RF imageis the one wich is non-exclusive and can be sold many times).
Yet, despite the fact that microstocks sell cheaply at the expense of a large number of sales and a large choice of microstocks, this kind of money could bring a decent income.
A number of microstocks also sell Vector illustrations, Video, Flash, and Audio files.
2. Which microstocks I upload my images to?
(1) My favourite one is ShutterStock. I earn the most from it.
In order to have a stable growth in sales, try not just to draw quality images, but also to upload at least 10 images per week. And in general the tendency is: the more you upload into it, the better the sells are.
You are paid 0.25$ per download, 1.88$ on demand download, and 28$ per enhanced download. After you have reached 3000$ in total, you are paid 0.33 per downoad.
To get accepted as a contributor, you have to:
– go here to create an account, where you fill in the form with your full name, address, payout method (for example, PayPal, Moneybookes, or check by postal mail), payout email address, etc;
-send the copy of your ID;
– send 10 images for the exam (.jpg files if raster images; or .jpg + .eps if vector, where the names of .jpg and .eps of the same image have to be the same).
(As far as I remember 7 images of 10 have to be approved for you to be concidered to be a new ShutterStocker! :) And if you need some help with which images to chose, or some critics, feel free to ask me!)
You can find a tutorial on how to easily sign up ShutterStock here.
(2) My second choice is VectorStock (for vector artists only).
Once signed up, you need to submit a .jpg preview of your vector designs for inspectors to review. If the work is accepted you may start uploading:)
Prices here are:
if your status is Rookie (which will be in the beginning, 0-499 downloads), it will be 25% per download price. (So 1 credit image costs 1$, and you earn 0.25$; 3 credit image =3$, you earn 0.75$); if you are a Bronze contributor(500- 2499), then it is 30%; Silver (2500 – 9 999) – 35%; and so on..:)
What I like about VectorStock is that if you have 100 images to upload, there is no need to upload .jpg and .eps, and write down all keywords and description! You just send 100+ .eps files by FTP, and everything will be done for you! :)
(3) IStockPhoto.com is the most famous and the first among microstocks.
It has a very strong exlusive programme, so if you work exclusively for Istock, you are much better promoted and sell better.
Istock inspectors are very demanding in approving images, be those photos or vectors.
The image has not just to be of a perfect quality and composition, it also is to be in the correct colour pallete, with nicely drawn details, correctly used gradients, etc. Istock also has a list of types of the images they need, or don't need. Those they don't need are backgrounds, textures, texts, frames – all those that sell perfectly on other stocks; but as Istock has too many of the above mentioned, inspectors wouldn't approve any of these anymore.
To get accepted you have to:
– fill in the form with the standard information about yourself, and send the copy of your ID;
– read a tutorial about how and what to draw for Istock;
– pass the test, based on the articles from the turotial;
– send 3 images for inspectors to review (all of them must be approved. If some are not, you are given 3 days to resubmin a new image. If it is not approved again, you have 1 week to resubmit. If no luck again – 1 month).
(4) Dreamstime.com
I signed up to Dreamstime ages ago, but started uploading images only in May 2011, and to my surprise with quite a small profile the sales are constantly growing. For me, over the last 3 months, it shares the 3d places with Vectorstock and DepositPhotos by the level of sales.
To register, go here, fill in the form with your nickname, email and password, click "I Agree" and press "Submit". Shortly after this you will receive an email with confirmation link which you will have to click to continue the registration process. You will have to write down your name, family name, e-mail, and full address; some of the fields like "hobbies" and "equipment" are not necessary to fill in.
To upload files go to Contributors Area => Upload files. Note, that only JPG files, RGB, at least 3 Megapixels, saved at the maximum quality are accepted.
There is no exam to be passed so Dreamstime is a good stock to start up you microstock career.
There also are monthly contests for contributors which are very good to stimulate your designing skills.
You can be payed via check, PayPal or Moneybookers (Skrill), the minimal payout – 100$.
(5) DepositPhoto is another fast growing photobank which has a very nice promotion for new contributors who have large portfolios and constantly upload images.
To register go here, click on the gree button 'Register as Seller Now', read the brief rules > 'Continue' > 'Agree With the Membership Agreement' > Enter your personal information like Login, Password, Email, Name, Address, How did you know about Us (ID=1169275 Anastasiia Kucherenko) > 'Continue' >
Now to get accepted you will have to upload five images you feel represent your best work. You'll also need to include a scanned copy of your driver's license, passport (either domestic or international) or other document(s) proving your identity.
If you are already contributing to other microstocks, you better provide links to your portfolios as well. Professional experience in microstocking can also increase your rating when getting accepted to DepositPhotos.
To upload vectors for the exam and also later on, you will have to ZIP an .eps (or .ai) together with a .jpg (min 2400 x 1600 px). If you have large portfolios you better choose an FTP option to upload images, it will make the uploading processs so much easier and faster.
You can earn 40-60% of Royalty per sold image, depending on your ranking and the credit/subscription plan which your image was purchased with.
To read more about how to register, upload images and the sales rate go here.
(6) Fotolia.com is a perspective and fast growing fotobank.
Fotolia is very convenient to use and I suggest it to the beginners in microstocking as it is easy to get accepted, so you have an opportunity to develop yourself from the level you have in the very beginning. Fotolia spans the globe with websites in 12 languages and offices in 14 countries.
To sign up you have to go to fotolia.com, click a 'Create My Account Now' button, write in your login, email, password and country. Then you will have to fill in the form with your name, last name, address, telephone and 'How did you find out about us' field (Word of Mouth; User ID=275122).

For the first time since the 2006-07 NHL season, the San Jose Sharks were in a game that had two natural hat tricks. It was their turn to have the second trick carry them to victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday, January 18.
Seven seasons ago, it was Ryan Smyth for the Edmonton Oilers answering San Jose's Jonathan Cheechoo to get the win. In the 2013-14 NHL season, it was Joe Pavelski lifting his team in response to Tampa's Martin St. Louis. There are three other pictured stars of this game that had a little bit of everything.
For one, it had in-house drama.
The best move Steve Yzerman made for North Florida was to leave the Lightning captain off Team Canada. It has to be comforting to Pavelski and anyone following Team USA hockey to avoid facing St. Louis, who now has eight goals and three assists in the seven-game point streak that started right after being left off the projected gold-medal team.
He thus gave this game scoring. After pushing the play all period, he made it count with about eight minutes left in the first: Teddy Purcell fed Tyler Johnson, who tossed one from behind the goal line through the slot for an easy weak-side, one-timer goal.
That ended a streak of six games without a failed penalty kill for the Sharks, but they sandwiched two goals around it to grab the lead. The new second line of Patrick Marleau centering Matt Nieto and Tommy Wingels was responsible for both.
The first came just 2:10 before the first St. Louis goal. Marleau got the puck from Wingels and gave it to Nieto, who skated around one defender and fired from the right circle. His shot came off the stick of another who then kicked it off his back skate, where the San Jose rookie slapped it just beyond the considerable reach of Ben Bishop's right pad.
The second came within a minute of the first St. Louis goal: Wingels got the puck to Nieto along the boards, who doubled back and fed Marleau near the faceoff dot for the one-timer goal through traffic. That lead would not even stand for three minutes.
After making a save, Bishop played the puck to Jean-Philippe Cote, who found St. Louis skating up for a breakaway. Antti Niemi continued his good early play making the save, but the adept winger swatted the loose puck in from behind his back skate without turning around.
With 30 seconds left before the first intermission, Mark Barberio fed J.T. Brown for a shot that St. Louis deflected in for the hat trick. He made it a natural hat trick (three unanswered goals) on another power play just over two minutes into the second—almost a mirror image of the first, except this time it was Johnson feeding Purcell up the boards for the cross-slot pass.
The Sharks were down two goals and had to endure the most egregious flop by a goalie in franchise history. Finally, Jason Demers fed Tyler Kennedy attacking with speed, who passed it across the slot for Pavelski to start his natural hat trick with just over seven minutes left in the second period.
Thanks to an Eric Brewer penalty, he needed just 21 seconds to get his second. Marleau fed Dan Boyle, whose slap shot came off to a knocked-down Pavelski. After getting up to his knees, the scrappy guy sometimes called "Pokey" by his teammates swept the puck in for his 23rd two-goal game.
That number was third-most among active NHL players until exactly one minute remained in the second period.
Ironically, he had thought he had his first hat trick once before only to have a goal taken away. This time, it appeared a goal belonged to a Matt Irwin shot from the point off a Joe Thornton feed. Then they gave Brent Burns credit for a deflection they did not announce was actually Pavelski's until about 12 minutes were left in the game.
The third period was surprisingly defensive: San Jose only took five shots and only allowed six, none of which got by either goalie.
Tampa Bay broke even or had the edge in possession (39-30 faceoffs making up for a 3-7 deficit in takeaways and one more giveaway) but still managed to match their guests with 19 hits and blocked more shots (15-13). Yet San Jose attempted just as many shots (58), got three more on net (32-29) and one more into the back of it.
When you beat a team that is good on their ice, that is always a good performance.

Philippians 4 [Clear Word]
1 I want you to know how dear you are to me and how much I care about you and miss you. You are my joy and crown. I'm urging you, my dear friends, to continue to stand for the Lord. 2 Euodia and Syntyche, I beg you both to try to agree and get along as sisters in the Lord. 3 And I ask you, Syzygus, my trusty yokefellow, to help these women get together, because both of them worked hard when they were with me. They helped me spread the gospel just as Clement and my other fellow workers did. There is no doubt in my mind that their names are written in God's Book of Life. 4 Always rejoice in the Lord. And again I say, Rejoice! 5 Let your compassion and love for everyone be evident wherever you go. Remember that the Lord is always near at hand and one day He will come again. 6 Don't worry so much about everything. When you pray, ask God for what you need. Don't be afraid to plead with Him, but always do so with a grateful heart. 7 God's peace which is beyond human comprehension will guard your hearts and keep your minds on Jesus Christ. 8 Finally, my brothers, fill your minds with things that are true, honest and just. Think about things that are noble, pure and lovely. Focus on good reports about others. If any good has happened or there's any reason to praise man or God, think about those things. 9 Put into practice what I've taught you and what you've learned from watching me, and the God of peace will always be with you. 10 I rejoice in my union with the Lord, but your renewed love and care for me has added to my joy. I'm not saying that you didn't care for me before, but you never had the opportunity to show it as much as now. 11 I'm not complaining, because over the years I've learned to be content in whatever situation I find myself. 12 I know from experience what it's like to be in extreme need and also what it's like to have more than I need. I've learned the secret of being content wherever I am, whether I'm hungry or well fed, whether I have little or much. 13 I can face any situation with Christ who gives me strength. 14 But I'm human and I still appreciate what you've done for me in my troubles. 15 You Philippians know that after I left Macedonia in the early days of my ministry, not one church stayed in touch with me to see how I was doing except you. 16 More than once while I was working in Thessalonica, you sent me the help I needed. 17 I'm not saying this because I want you to give me more gifts, but I do want your generosity to grow and develop, and I want to see even more of the fruit of the Spirit credited to your account. 18 By the way, I did receive everything you sent me through Epaphroditus, and it is more than I need. I have enough. Thank you. Your generous gifts were like sweet perfume--a fragrant offering, pleasing to God. These are the kinds of gifts that God appreciates, because they come from loving hearts. 19 My God will supply all your needs from His glorious riches which, because of Jesus Christ, now belong to you. 20 To God, our heavenly Father, be glory and honor for ever and ever. Amen. 21 Greet everyone who belongs to Jesus Christ. The brothers who are here helping me send their greetings. 22 All God's people in Rome send their greetings, especially those who live and work in Caesar's palace. 23 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Senior Dennis Aliotta
June 9, 2012
Men's Final Results | Women's Final Results
DES MOINES, Iowa - The East Carolina track and field outdoor campaign drew to a close Saturday as senior Dennis Aliotta posted a 10th-place finish in the shot put at Drake Stadium on the final day of the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
His mark of 18.92 placed him just outside of the three-attempt final as the top nine athletes received three more attempts to attempt to improve their standing.
The 2012 Conference USA Outdoor Performer of the Meet finished fourth in the shot put at the NCAA East Preliminary to earn his first career spot at the national championship. His season best mark of 63-7.38 (19.39m) was a league and program record as he secured his fourth conference title, indoor or outdoor, in the event.
As for the final team standings, the University of Florida men won their first-ever NCAA Outdoor Championship while the LSU women captured their 15th title in program history. By virtue of her third-place result yesterday in the high jump, junior All-America Tynita Butts gave the Pirates six points in the women's team standings.

I've upgraded a grails project 1.3.9 -> 2.2 and now i get an error regarding the constraints of a callback to an external service having a capitalised first letter. I've removed the constraint requirement for this property, but would like to find a way to keep the constraint functionality but i need to have a property with a capital letter. I do not control the external API that is sending a capitalised param back.
The callback closure looks like this:
class CallbackCommand{
String token
String ID
static constraints = {
token nullable: false
//ID nullable: false
I've commented the ID constraint as this fails due to the capitalised first letter. How can i enforce this constraint but keep the parameter naming consistent with the external API?

Be prepared: The work world has gone bonkers
Creativity is In
-by- Angela V. Woodhull, Ph.D.
Zany! Stable times call for stable organizations. But the world has gone bonkers, and organizations that want to survive have to constantly change and continuously innovate.
That means that managers have to develop a new management style. Welcome to a world where imagination is a source of value. In an insane world, sane organizations make no sense. Barking orders is out. Curiosity, initiative, and imagination are in.
The idea is to keep generating new products if a company wants to survive. It used to be that only the clothing industry changed fashion every few months. Now everything is about fashion. There are designer phones, designer software, designer pretzels – even designer dairy products!
To survive, create! Use imagination! In 1979, the Sony Corporation created the Walkman. Since that time, they have produced 227 different models, or one every three weeks. In 1991 alone, there were 64 new varieties of spaghetti. Today, there are more than 350 spaghetti products. In 1981, there were 2,689 new products in grocery and drug stores. In 1981, 16,433 new products were introduced—about one every half hour. Today, there are more than 30,000 new product introductions in grocery and drug stores each year. [http://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-markets-prices/processing-marketing/...
The time between the 1978 Jonestown tragedy to its television movie was 513 days, while the movie on the 1993 Waco, Texas tragedy hit television screens in 34 days. Less than two months after Sandy Hook, a film was already in the making. [http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/02/06/plans-to-film-a-sandy-hook-related-m... ]
Today, your new laptop computer might be considered ancient when it's just four months old.
Revenue is up in the travel services business from $40 million in 1983 to $1.5 billion in 1992 due to a new software hitting the market every month. Adding to steady growth since 2009, a recent study found that total travel agency revenue is expected to grow by 8.8 per cent to $19.5 billion. [http://www.travelweekly.com/travel-news/corporate-travel/study--four-age...
Production time is also speeding up. In Austin, Texas, where IBM manufactures personal computers, the manufacturing cycle from product idea to finished product used to be three years. By 1995, it was down to eight months. Today, it's sometimes as little as three months. [http://www.rathstrong.com/WhitePaper/Reducing-Any-and-All-Cycle-Time-by-... During the 1970's the old IBM employed 1,100 workers. By the mid-1990's, there were only 423 assembly workers. But by 2012, Fortune ranked IBM the No. 2 largest U.S. firm in terms of number of employees, the No. 4 largest in terms of market capitalization, the No. 9 most profitable, and the No. 19 largest firm in terms of revenue. In 2013, Booz and Company placed IBM sixteenth among the 20 most innovative companies in the world. The company spends 6% of its revenue ($6.3 billion) in research and development.
The sign of the times is "Down with materials and up with intellect and imagination." Example: During the mid-1990's, Phillip Morris purchased Kraft for $12.9 billion. You say "That's a lot of cheese," but nay. Only $1.3 billion was the material stuff. The other $11.6 billion was "buying" the employees -- the intellect and brainpower they promise to share in devising new products. Today, there are hundreds of new dairy products developed each year. [http://www.dairyfoods.com/taxonomies/2712-top-100]
And so, here's the new question for today's managers: "How do you manage human intellect and imagination?" The answer is that you don't. And that's why a lot of thriving innovating companies are cutting out mid-management. The multiple layers of workers in large organizations have been eliminated.
Instead, companies are dealing directly with the customers. "Let the employees make decisions."
So, how do you cope with all the change? You've got to acknowledge that hiding from change is counterproductive. You've got to change the way you look at things. Flexibility is your greatest tool. Recent studies indicate that the workers and managers who are surviving best are the ones who are most flexible. What businesses are discovering is that when a company becomes too large, it also becomes impersonal and inefficient. That means you can't have an organization where everybody tries to think alike. The new zany world requires workers who are different. Different, quirky people didn't do well in stable times. Stable people don't do well in crazy times. Those companies that are surviving are continuously reinventing themselves.
Respect and reward the most creative people in an organization. "Creative individuals," says Consultant Tom Peters, "thrive best when left alone to be different, creative, and disobedient."
"If you want to serve the customer with uniform Excellence, then you must FIRST effectively and faithfully serve those who serve the customer—i.e., your employees, via maximizing tools and professional development."
Of course, many things will go wrong when creativity is the norm, Peters warns. But if nothing ever goes wrong, then nothing new will ever happen again.
Is your company prepared for a world that's "gone bonkers?"

All over the world, Auschwitz has become a symbol of terror, genocide, and the Holocaust. It was established by the Nazis in 1940, in the suburbs of Oswiecim, a Polish city that was annexed to the Third Reich by the Nazis. Its name was changed to Auschwitz, which also became the name of Konzentrationslager Auschwitz - the largest of the death camps.

Forrest's Fighting Preacher : David Campbell Kelley of Tennessee
ISBN13:by Bradley, Michael R.
History Pr
Every leader needs a trusted confidant. For Nathan Bedford Forrest, one the Civil War's greatest military minds, that man was David Campbell Kelley. Kelley began adulthood in the clergy, serving for two years as a missionary in China, and returning home just a year before the Civil War. He then raised a company of cavalry from his family's large congregation, which became a part of Forrest's original regiment. Kelley quickly became Forrest's second-in-command, assisting in some of his most daring engagements, offering support in key decisions, and serving as his unofficial chaplain. Following the war, Kelley returned to preaching, helped establish Vanderbilt University, and launched a campaign for governor of Tennessee. Now, for the first time, author Michael R. Bradley brings Kelley's dynamic life to the fore.

This location is great for a sightseeing trip to London. The tube station Leytonstone (Central Line - 25 Minutes to Oxford Circus) is only a five 5 minutes walk away from the apartment. Our car parked safely in the garage during our stay. There are stores and little restaurants in walking distance to the apartment.
The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Internet was fast!
Titi was a very friendly and reliable host. We had no problems or questions but I am sure - if we had - she would have taken care about it quickly. Communication with Titi prior to the stay was easy and pleasant.
We would stay with this location again if we came back to London in the near future!
La posizione dell'appartamento è eccellente, in meno di mess'ora si arriva al centro di Londra. Il quartiere è periferico ma non abbiamo avuto alcun problema.
Pur trattandosi di un appartamento ad un costo ragionevole e in un quartiere povero, ci sono comunque degli standard minimi che dovrebbero essere garantiti e che qui non ho trovato.
Anzitutto veniamo accolti dalla signora Titi che, scorrettamente, ci minaccia di non restituire il deposito se i vicini si dovessero lamentare di un eventuale disturbo che potremmo arrecare.
L'appartamento dispone di soli quattro posti letto, gli altri due posti letto indicati, sono in realtà due materassi che devono essere messi direttamente a terra, nel salotto.
Le superfici sono state pulite discretamente prima del nostro arrivo ma il resto dell'appartamento è sporco e trascurato: le pareti sono macchiate e scrostate, la moquette è macchiata e scollata, la porta dello sgabuzzino è priva di maniglia, ho dovuto disinfettare il tavolo da pranzo quando l'abbiamo aperto per utilizzare la prolunga. Gli armadi erano pressoché inutilizzabili, occupati da materassi e biancheria. Le tende erano sporche, la lampada da comodino aveva una sola lampadina funzionante su 3, la finestra di una delle due camere da letto non si apriva. Macchie su pareti e muri, sui mobili e sugli elettrodomestici, la biancheria da cucina non era stata cambiata prima del nostro arrivo e si presentava manifestamente utilizzata e sporca.
Io e la mia famiglia viaggiamo da anni, abbiamo un grande spirito di adattamento, ma questo livello è davvero inadeguato.
The apartment's location is excellent, less mess'ora you get to the center of London. The neighborhood is peripheral but we have not had any problems.Although this is an apartment at a reasonable cost and in a poor neighborhood, there are still minimum standards that should be secured and that we have not found.
First we are greeted by Mrs. Titi who, wrongly, threatens us not to return the deposit if the neighbors were to complain of any ailment that might cause.
The apartment has actually only four beds, the other two beds are two mattresses to be placed directly on the floor, in the living room.
The surfaces of the bathrooms were fairly clean before we arrived but the rest of the apartment is dirty and neglected: the walls are stained and peeling, the fitted carpet is stained and unglued, the closet door has no handle and held open by a sheet of cardboard and duct tape, I had to disinfect the dinner table when we opened for use extension. The cabinets are almost unusable, occupied by mattresses and bedding. The curtains are dirty, the bedside lamp has a single bulb working on 3, the window of one of the two bedrooms opens. There are stains on walls and walls, on furniture and electrical appliances, kitchen linen was not changed before our arrival: certainly it is not mandatory to find in an apartment, but if it is made available, must be hygienically adequate.
Me and my family we travel for years, we have a great ability to adapt and adapt to the styles we love and the cultures we encounter, but this level is really inadequate and not in London.
Die Wohnung ist eher durchschnittlich eingerichtet,aber zweckmäßig,was nicht so
gemütlich war ist,dass von der Decke die Lampen keine Schirme hatten und an einem Kabel mit der nackten Lampe heruntehingen.Später erfuhren wir,dass die Besitzerin wegen Sachbeschädigung durch frühere Mieter so gehandelt hat.
Die Lage der Wohnung ist verkehrsmäßig hervorragend,die City von London ist innerhalb von einer halben Stunde sehr günstig zu erreichen,Einkaufsgelegenheiten sind reichlich vorhanden.Die Wohnung ist nicht zur Strasse gelegen,also auch sehr ruhig.Frau Akinola ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit
All was well, Nice apartment.
We were a group of 5 people. We were very well and the flat was very confortable. So we would recommend to everyone that they want to visit the city. The flat is about 30 minutes of the centre on underground.
The hostess was very kind to us, the apartment is in a quiet area with all kinds of shops around five minutes from the subway and within 20 minutes you reach the center of Londres.Las rooms are spacious, as well as the bathrooms and the room has great views.
Highly recommended.
La anfitriona fue muy amable con nosotros, el apartamento esta en una zona muy tranquila con todo tipo de comercios alrededor, a cinco minutos de la boca del metro y en cuestion de 20 minutos llegas al centro de Londres.Las habitaciones son amplias, asi como los baños y la sala dispone de unas vistas geniales.
Muy recomendable.
Ha sido todo correcto, el estado del apartamento perfecto, Titi encantadora.
Uitstekend netjes appartement en betaalbaar. Met de metro is het ongeveer één half uur naar centrum Londen, bereikbaarheid is goed. Zeer tevreden.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band: Jazzin' Babies Blues
Jazzin' Babies Blues
King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band
Off The Record: The Complete 1923 Jazz Band Recordings (Archeophone OTR-MM6-C2)
Joe 'King' Oliver (cornet), Louis Armstrong (cornet), Honoré Dutrey (trombone), Johnny Dodds (clarinet), Lil Hardin (piano), Baby Dodds (drums),
Arthur "Bud" Scott (banjo).
Composed by Richard M. Jones.
Recorded: Chicago, Illinois, June 23, 1923
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
Joe Oliver had so much power that he must have been born to play with a mute. According to Jelly Roll Morton, Oliver started putting bottles into his horn to tone himself down. But even with that impediment, he could come out screaming. He does so here, on an enduring composition by Richard M. Jones, a New Orleans accomplice who took part in arranging the Creole Band's Gennett sessions.
This tune resembles the New Orleans Rhythm Kings' "Tin Roof Blues," which the NORK had recorded three months earlier. Some proof exists that both tunes came out of a folk strain floating around New Orleans before everyone started moving to and recording around Chicago. There, Jones himself recorded the tune on solo piano just three weeks before this June 23, 1923 Okeh Creole Band date.
Oliver had brought in Bud Scott on banjo, and Scott drives the band like John Henry driving railroad spikes. The sound is informed by Johnny Dodds's exploratory clarinet work and by Oliver's slurred phrasing, which keeps the fire lit. His explosive muted cornet solo on the fourth chorus lets us know he has something to say beyond what's written on the sheet.

Will you shave before delivery?
I think it's a smart idea. You're going to be bleeding for 6 weeks, very heavily, and the blood can clump or dry up on the hair and make it harder to clean up.

Super Soggy working mom to CJ 11-26-11
Nope cant even put my own socks on. Everyone is for going all natural why not haha
I shaved as well as I could for previous births, I will do the same this time. I still try my best before appts etc.. and birth, well, DH, MIL, and my two best friends will be in the room so....I would rather it not look like a jungle even though noone would judge lol
Also..if you tear or something... you WANT it to be shaved, trust me, that way you can clean it easier if there are stitches (Trust me, I was so glad after I had a 3rd degree tear last time around that I had shaved!)
Anxiously awaiting our RAINBOW baby due November 19, 2012.
I used to use a trimmer because I don't really like to be completely shaved. That stopped a few months ago because I constantly cut myself and did a horrible job. Before I had a trimmer I used veet so I went back to that (every 2-3 weeks).
I put it off as long as I could for the past 2 months. I honestly think it was the most hair I've ever had down there lol. I finally did it last week. I wanted to give enough time for it to grow back so that it's more like if I trimmed it.
It's certainly become a process. I use my (cheap) full length mirror set on its side and a lamp. I just hate the feeling of too much hair.
I probably won't bother to shave my legs though. idk.

Expedition Five's Peggy Whitson and Atlantis' Sandy Magnus used the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to grapple the 45-foot-long, 14-ton S1 structure, remove it from Atlantis' cargo bay and move it to the starboard end of S0. Motorized bolts locked the two truss segments together at 8:36 a.m. CDT.
Wolf and Sellers ventured outside the station's Quest airlock at 10:21 a.m. Their first task was to connect power, data and fluid lines between the S0 and the S1 trusses. As Wolf worked to accomplish this task, Sellers, on his first spacewalk, released the locks on three folded-up radiators mounted to the S1, allowing S1's radiators to be oriented for optimal cooling
Wolf and Sellers then worked together to install a new S-band antenna assembly. Wolf, attached to the end of the station robotic arm, moved the antenna into position. He then tightened stanchion bolts to lock the antenna into place near the end of the S1 Truss where it connects to the S0 as Sellers held it in place. The new component will increase the S-band data and voice communications capability from the space station to ground controllers.
The duo then went to work releasing restraints that had held the Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) cart to the S1 for launch and configure its brakes. The CETA cart, a handcar that rides along rails on the station's truss, can be used to move spacewalkers and equipment.
Installation of the S1's outboard nadir external camera was the final major task of the spacewalk. The camera, launched on Atlantis' middeck, is the first of two that will be installed on S1. They will be used as situational awareness tools for spacewalkers and robotic arm operators.
Throughout the spacewalk, Pilot Pam Melroy was inside, offering guidance and advice to the spacewalkers and keeping them on schedule. She had help with arm operations and spacewalk guidance from controllers in the International Space Station Flight Control Room because the spacewalk originated out of the station's Quest airlock. Shuttle Commander Jeff Ashby operated the shuttle robotic arm, providing camera views for documentation.
Following an inventory of the tools they used during the spacewalk and cleanup activities, Wolf and Sellers re-entered Quest. Airlock repressurization began at 5:22 p.m., signaling the end of the spacewalk.

We have seen a moderate uptick in visits for heat-related causes at Botsford Hospital's Emergency & Trauma Center. Mostly it's been for dehydration with relatively mild symptoms, including headaches.
On these blistering hot days, please heed the advice of Jacklyn McParlane, D.O., Botsford's vice chair of emergency Medicine and Emergency Medicine residency program director.
Dr. McParlane says that people seem to be having a hard time keeping up with the amount of fluids they need to drink in this hot weather. On a normal temperature day, people should be taking in eight 8-oz. glasses of water. On these high heat days, and especially if you're working or playing outside, people may need to double their water intake. She's encountered patients who have a difficult time knowing how much water to drink to stay hydrated.
Dr. McParlane also suggests that parents closely monitor kids playing outdoors. Have them stop to drink fluids every 20 minutes. Bring kids in during the hottest part of the day for indoor activities, such as screen time, or take them to the movies where it's air conditioned.
Finally, Dr. McParlane suggests that all people, including kids, get into the habit of carrying a water bottle with them, so that they can drink from it.

Ivor Gurney's "To His Love"
November 11, 2013 | by Glyn Maxwell
In honor of Veterans Day, we are re-running this favorite post.
In the last century, a few years of sodden slaughter in France and Flanders turned British poetry from Keatsian lyricism to raw, aghast reportage. Isaac Rosenberg's poems, for instance, moved from prewar patriotic exultation—"Flash, mailed seraphim, / Your burning spears"—to, three years later, this numb, bone-dry mutter from the trenches: "Droll rat, they would shoot you if they knew / Your cosmopolitan sympathies."
In Ivor Gurney's "To His Love" you see the thing happening not in mid-career but in mid-poem—between lines, in a line break, specifically the last one. It's the most astonishing line break I've ever encountered. It's the sound of a culture's poetic history cracking in half.
"To His Love" begins as an almost doggedly traditional elegy, with the Byronic echo of "We'll walk no more on Cotswold." It meanders through rivers, beasts, flowers, and the old tropes—nobility, "pride," "memoried." We are lulled into thinking that the urgency of "Cover him, cover him soon!" arises from intense soldierly love, rather than the desperate need to hide a shredded corpse, that "red, wet / Thing." The euphemistic Latinate décor is stripped away; the haplessly tall T does it's pitiful duty by the form, like a Tommy too shell-shocked to hide, a standing target.
The fragile Gurney was gassed and traumatized by the war, and he lived out his days in asylums. Read More »
The Beauty of the Heroine: Julia Margaret Cameron and the Poetic Portrait
August 27, 2013 | by Alexandra Pechman
"The beauty of the heroine is evident to every one," Julia Margaret Cameron wrote as the postscript of a letter accompanying the first copy of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's Idylls of the King, which she illustrated with photographs. She was speaking specifically of her image Vivien and Merlin, but, as evidenced in a show of her photographs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of Cameron's greatest talents lay in animating many heroines of poetry through her unconventionally dreamy photographs.

The Epigraph
February 1, 2012 | by David Parker
Milton wasn't working.
The aspiring novelist had already written the perfect dedication ("For my friends"), and he'd long had a list of possible titles, yet he still had no epigraph, the mysterious but meaningful quotation he'd seen at the beginning of every great book. He'd been holding John Milton in reserve for this very situation.
When contemplating the epigraph for his debut novel, the writer had always been confident that if all else failed, he could find inspiration in Shakespeare or Milton. For his part, the Bard hadn't cooperated.
A line like "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" might work for a paperback legal thriller, but nothing Shakespeare wrote seemed appropriate for the "Borges meets Zola, if Zola had somehow been influenced by Nabokov" collection of loosely related vignettes set in a fictional megalopolis in an indeterminate near-future the writer hoped to get published by next fall.

An Amber Alert has been cancelled in the case of a missing 10-year-old girl who authorities believe was kidnapped and then murdered in Missouri. An Amber Alert was issued for Hailey Owens on Feb. 18, 2014, after neighbors reported seeing a man driving a truck through a neighborhood street several times. According to witnesses, Carlos and Michelle Edwards, the man approached the girl, spoke with her, then pulled her into the vehicle and sped away. Witnesses were able to give investigators with the Springfield Police Department a description of the vehicle, the perpetrator and the correct license plate number.
Though authorities were able to trace the vehicle back to Craig Michael Wood, 45, it was too late. When investigators arrived at his home, located approximately 5 miles away from the abduction site, they made a grisly discovery: A child's body that matched Hailey's physical and clothing description deceased. While it will take time for DNA analysis to make a positive identification, Hailey's family has confirmed it is their daughter and police have officially arrested and charged Craig Michael Wood with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and kidnapping.
You may read Craig Michael Wood's official charge report here: Craig Michael Wood Charge Report (PDF)
Reports show that Craig Michael Wood was employed by the Springfield public school district where he worked as a teacher's aide and a seventh-grade football coach. There is no known previous relationship between Wood and Hailey Owens. Craig Wood is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Friday, February 21, 2014.

Tetsuya Nomura has made a few interesting comments in regards to working on the PS4. According to a report by Just Push Start on Jan. 26, the game director behind "Final Fantasy XV" and "Kingdom Hearts 3" was featured in the latest issue of the Famitsu gaming magazine talking about the next-generation system.
Tetsuya Nomura believed that Sony Computer Entertainment have "gone too far" when building the PS4, adding that the console manufacture should have left the development teams "off the hook." Although having a "thoroughly made" video game is excited for fans, it is a "hurdle" for studios. You can view some screens from behind "Final Fantasy XV" and "Kingdom Hearts 3" in the slideshow to the left of the article as well as his comments below (courtesy of Just Push Start and Kotaku):
Looking at the PS4, I thought "they've gone too far." I wish they would just let us off the hook. For the player, having a game that's "thoroughly made" makes them excited with anticipation, but for a developer, it's a hurdle we have to overcome.
Square Enix had a hard time transitioning from the PS2 to the PS3. Having more powerful hardware forces the company to put more resources into their video games. The aforesaid "Final Fantasy XV" was previously known as "Final Fantasy Versus XIII" on the PS3 before being delayed and eventually re-announced for the next-generation systems. Moreover, "Kingdom Hearts 3" skipped the PS3 and Xbox 360 generation.
The two next-generation video games are being co-directed by Tetsuya Nomura. Release dates for both PS4 and Xbox One titles have not yet been revealed by Square Enix.

On October 21, 2008, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Delta Enterprise Corp. announced a voluntary recall of approximately 600,000 drop-side cribs, citing that the drop side can detach when the spring peg is not engaged and cause entrapment or suffocation of infants and toddlers.
The CPSC received a report of the death of an 8-month-old child who suffocated when the drop side detached from the crib. Other accident reports include one child entrapment. The cribs were sold nationwide from January 2000 through January 2007.
The recall involves all Delta drop-side cribs made prior to 2006 that feature the "Crib Trigger Lock with Spring Peg" hardware design. The model numbers included in the recall are: 4340, 4343, 4520, 4600, 4620, 4624, 4625, 4629, 4660, 4665, 4720, 4750, 4751, 4850, 4855, 4857, 4880, 4920, 4925-2, 4925-2B, 4925-6, 4980, and 8605.
The CPSC and Delta urge consumers to immediately stop using the defective cribs and contact the company at 800-816-5304 to receive a free repair kit with new safety pegs.

egads, no. the gym.
Saturday, May 19, 2012
In April I decided to get a gym membership for the facility that's part of our area hospital. I had a reason for it. Next month I'm off to New Hampshire to a six week long writing workshop. Goals are always good and it seemed like one worth investing in. And there was a deal going on.
Years ago, I joined a gym and went perhaps twice as I felt completely out of place with the model-like women there. Women that made me wonder why were they even there? I had thought, ironically, that going to a women's only gym I'd feel safe and secure in my own skin. However, that wasn't the case. After two times, I never went back.
From that point on, I've amassed a large collection of DVDs. Yoga, abs, belly dancing, ballet workouts, the craziness of Jillian Michaels. Also, I've hordes a good many books on diet, which I have yet to read. While the reading of those tomes doesn't bother me in particular, the DVDs did. I was utterly convinced that:
1. I could do this every day without distraction.
2. I'd be safe and secure at home without people looking at me and wondering what the fat girl was doing.
3. That this time (with whatever new DVD caught my interest)it would really work.
What I found out was that I had a ton of excuses as to why I couldn't get in a workout. Even Jillian Michael's twenty minute sort were just so hard to fit in. Really, it was laziness. And, I think, under that (like the fat under my skin) I was scared. Scared to change, scared that I couldn't change, scared of people knowing. Which is silly, but so it was.
For most of my life I've been one of the pretty fat girls. You know the kind you see and say, Oh, she'd be beautiful if she dropped a few pounds. The sort that sits on the side as her friends find boyfriends and get married and have lives.
So, needless to say, I was scared to go to the gym. Mostly because I feared the judgement of others. Not what they would say to me, but what they were thinking. I stressed over what might be thought about me in yoga pants and a fitted t-shirt. I worried, but I still went.
And there I discovered just how wrong I was.
No one judged me. More importantly, I didn't feel judged. I don't feel that I'm better or worse than anyone else there. Better still, I don't feel ashamed of myself when I get out of my car in workout clothes like I have in the past. A boost of that sort of self-esteem wasn't something I expected.
I also discovered that I really enjoy working out. I look forward to it. Particularly strength training days for whatever reason. But the cardio doesn't daunt me. I've learned that I can push myself out of my comfort zone to reach the goal I want and that it's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
I've found out that I can change. Not only that I can, but that now I really want to. I don't feel guilty if I miss a day. I don't need to beat myself up about how awful that was.
Like with food when it feels like that yummy piece of chocolate cake has not just ruined the evening, but the rest of the week, so why not eat everything else that I'm trying to avoid? It's not like that unless I decide to make it into an issue.
I have to admit the writing workshop had a lot to do with the change. Not just for a goal to drop a few pounds. Only sixteen people are accepted into the program, which is very intensive. That I got in proved to me that I am good enough and I can do anything.
As a side note, I haven't yet made comments to others' blogs, but I do read them. And I would like to thank all of you for sharing your stories and struggles and insights. It's a beautiful thing.
And now, I must go to the gym.

Congratulations on your gym ventures and confidence! I know how hard it is to go into a gym and feel out of place. It's scary! It sounds like you have an awesome attitude, though, and I wish you all the best in your journey.
