Mama's been thinking about adding my brother, Henry. She finally did, over on Dogster. I never knew him, but I knew his scent. It was still in the house when mama brought me home, but I'm the only kitty here that ever lived there so the others can't say much about him. Mama's going to have to break out the scanner again to get some more pictures of him in here. She was still crying for him some when she got me so I guess I have a sort of connection with him that my sisters don't.

Nestled in Barcelona's hilltop El Carmel is the one-of-a-kind creation of Antoni Gaudi, Park Guell. Designed in the place of an unsuccessful commercial venture, Gaudi reversed the failure by transforming it into a striking garden with curving paths and artistic delights.
The focal point of the park is the overhanging terrace where spectacular views of Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea can be enjoyed. Also visible in the distance is another of Gaudi's famous landmarks, Sagrada Familia. Surrounded by cranes, it is a work in progress despite the artist's untimely death many years ago.
There are abundant walkways to explore and artistic features to discover. Be mindful of Barcelona's nearly 75% average humidity level year round, so bright summer days can feel sultry. This is especially true for the hike up to the park, so consider visiting Park Guell early in the day before heat and crowds kick in.
Most park-goers arrive by metro which means there are two ways to enter the park, both up steep hills. A secret not well advertised in Barcelona is that the side entrance has the benefit of escalators, so visitors actually only end up climbing about three blocks of hills and two flights of stairs. Quite a difference compared to the strenuous 20-minute plus climb to reach the main entrance. Although guests arrive at a side entrance, a winding path with lovely city scenes guides people to the main park gates. TIP: The metro stop for the side entrance is Vallcarca.
Gingerbread-like houses stand as sentinels on either side of the main gates at the entry of Park Guell. The famous Gaudi dragon waits on the stairs to greet all those who enter. Park Guell, a monument to Antoni Gaudi, Barcelona's most famous resident and source of intense Catalonian pride.

SULLIVAN TWP. — The naming of Black River's softball field is a tale of Cooperstown and cookie dough.
The ball diamond, which will officially be named "Dorothy Chapman Field" on May 5 before a game with Firelands, has quite a story behind it.
Sherry Scheck, whose daughter Bailey plays on the varsity softball team, posted the team's cookie dough sale in hopes of raising funds for the squad.
Rick Chapman, one of five sons of Dorothy Chapman — she also has a daughter — responded with a donation and a story of his mother.
Dorothy's son said he was a graduate of Black River and that his whole family was from the area, then went on to say he played with Doug Scheck, who is Sherry's husband.
The late Dorothy Chapman was a Spencer Township resident, who was born in LaGrange. She played in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League from 1943-49. Chapman won championships for the Racine Bells (1943), Milwaukee Chicks (1944) and Muskegon Lassies (1947).
A statue of her likeness is in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and she also provided part of the influence for the character Betty Horn, who was played by Tracy Reiner, in "A League of Their Own."
The Schecks brought the idea of naming the field in Chapman's honor to Black River athletic director Josh Calame and things took off from there.
"Sherry and Doug called me all excited and they came up with the idea to do this," Calame said. "I thought it was a great idea, and so did everyone else. That's how it got going.
"I'm a sports person as it is and love sports history, so reading her biography and looking over some of the stuff was incredible. I can't believe something like this hasn't been done for Black River before, but it's really neat and I'm really excited for it."
Chapman, who was married to Tom Maguire from 1945-47, also played under the name Dorothy Maguire. She had a career batting average of .194 and 185 RBIs.
Calame is planning a formal dedication that will include a biography reading with a few guest speakers.
The Pirates are planning to have a sign hang under the scoreboard in left field with a banner made to hang on the fences. Calame is toying with the idea of having a picture of Chapman with her sports accomplishments on the banner.
Calame says the art department will paint "Dorothy Chapman Field" on the back of the home team dugout and a plaque is believed to be in the works as well.
"I think anyone in this job would love to have the opportunity to do something like this and unearth it," Calame said. "It's something I love to be a part of it. It's really exciting. I'm really enjoying planning it and really looking forward to the dedication."

We've recently covered the Chin, Point, and Low options in the Princeton Style Offense. Now it's time to review some fantastic 3-on-0 drills catering towards these strategies. Follow along with coach Lee DeForest as he breaks down each drill and then shows you how it fits into the overall system. Finally, watch his players run through the drills at full speed to see how you can easily implement them in your own practice.
Breakdown Drills for Chin
Overview: In Chin, you don't know exactly when you'll be able to go backdoor. So this drill works on players dribbling at the wing and making a backdoor pass.
The Drill Breakdown: Run the drill 3-on-0. Get one player up top and two wing players. The man up top with the ball will wait for the overplay by the defense and then "dribble at backdoor" and towards the wing. Meanwhile, his teammate will cut backdoor and a pass is made for a strong finish. After each rep, have the players rotate spots.
Coaching Points: Timing is so key here, so be sure to emphasize this with your players. For instance, the wing players don't want to leave until AFTER the ball is dribbled towards him/her. Also, have your players shoot layups with a variety of finishes to simulate game-like situations.
Breakdown Drills for Point
Overview: Keep the 3-on-0 format, however, this time have the post player work on catching the ball and chinning it before making a strong move.
The Drill Breakdown: The ball handler up top dribbles down the middle of the court while the post guy flashes up from the block to the free throw line. The post player then catches the ball. From here, practice chinning the ball and then have the post guy follow the player who just passed him the ball.
Next, the passer sets an away screen before popping back and receiving the pass from the original post guy. The post should follow the ball to set a good ball screen. It's key that the ball handler makes a good read here. For instance, you can come off the ball screen and take a shot OR you can drive and attack the basket for a layup OR you can attack the basket and kick it out to an open teammate. Be sure to rotate positions after each rep.
Drill Review:
*Practice on both sides of the basket and court.
*Run 2-3 drills for 2-3 minutes every day.
*Run the drills at game pace.
*Run through all options.

Last summer, we highlighted five tremendous breakdown drills for the Flex Offense. This time, we're taking things a step further by adding four more highly effective breakdown drills to the mix, including "Scramble to the Flex" and "The Cutter Drill." Follow along as Elizabethtown head men's basketball coach Bob Schlosser once again leads you through each drill and provides helpful commentary throughout.
Scramble to the Flex Drill
In this first drill, players will run in a circle around the foul line. From here we want the players to get into their flex positions immediately on the floor. After a few seconds of running, the coach will set the ball down and then the players will balance the floor. In the scramble situation when the ball goes to the floor, the nearest guy will pick it up and the players immediately get to their spots and right into the flex.
5-on-2 Drill
Now we will have one defender guard any two offensive players. Do not help, but instead, deny your player the ball. This will encourage the offensive guys to go back door to get open. Also, run through five passes before you shoot it. The two defenders will not touch the ball. This particular drill encourages running good cuts and setting up the defender. The defenders will play man-to-man and must stick to their man.
5-on-3 Drill
Next up in the 5-on-3 drill, we're working on passes off the elbow. Three defenders will guard the offensive players along the baseline.
Start the drill with a pass off the elbow. After the guard's initial pass, the guards up top must set a staggered screen. Look to run this drill until someone who's not guarded makes a flex cut. This really emphasizes the staggered screens. Meanwhile, when you make that high to low pass, it's crucial that screeners get a piece of the defender on the pick so you can get the ball inside or get into the flex continuity.
The Cutter Drill
This final breakdown drill goes 3-on-3. Get a cutter, screener, and passer on the box ready to come up. All players should be on the low block extended. The goal here is get a strong flex cut. That flex cutter will set up his man low and then come up high for the catch and layup on the opposite block.

Follow along as Pitt State University coach Andrew Grantz breaks down the 4-Out 1-In Attack & React Offense, a highly-effective system that helps exploit your team's strengths. The offense — which can be described as a mix between the Dribble Drive and Read & React — also teaches players how to play the game of basketball versus just running set plays. This week, Coach Grantz provides an overview of his system before getting into Phase 1 of the offense. Basics of the 4-Out 1-in Attack & React The offense is based on six perimeter spots that can be filled at any time (see diagram in video clip below). The top two spots are guard spots. The wings are 3 and 4 players (or forwards). The post can move block to block. There are also corner spots for whenever you cut and fill out and there's an overload on one side. Meanwhile, the line going across the half court along the second hash mark of the free throw line is called the Drive Line. There are specific reactions above and below the drive line. Learning About Each Spot Players 1 and 2 – Start just outside the lane-line extended and above the three-point arc. The same thing goes with the 2. This gives us good spacing. Players 3 and 4 – We want them to be drive-line extended. The reason is that we want players 1 and 2 to have passing options. However, we don't want to bring them up to the free throw line extended because it congests the offense. It opens up a wider driving gap this way. Player 5 – This player moves block to block away from the ball. He/she can post up for a one count. If not open, this player must get to the opposite block immediately. Each player should be outside the college three-point line, more like the NBA three-point line. In other words, we want NBA three-point spacing. This spreads the court and opens gaps for drivers and backdoor options.
Phase 1 – Dribble Penetration In this first phase of the offense, any time a player penetrates, we want to teach them to make a decision above the drive line. Are you going all the way to the rim and score OR are you going to pitch out? You don't want to over-penetrate. Once below the drive line, you must finish the shot or dump off to the 5 player. With the 5 staying opposite of the ball, it puts a lot of pressure on the defense. Coaching Point: It's important in this phase to attack the basket to score. You should have an aggressive mentality from the start. Reactions When a Player Drives Let's say that player 1 drives and gets forced to the right. If so, the player on the same side (the 3 in this case) slides up. The 3 keeps NBA spacing and stays wide. Be patient and wait until the ball is driven inside the three-point line. This gives the 3 player options to step up and shoot or make a strong drive to the basket. If player 1 dribbles to the middle, the 2 man must be patient and will eventually slide right behind. The 4 will also slightly slide up as well. Player 5 must get opposite of the ball. You now have different pitch-out options. All the while, the 3 stays put or moves just slightly to stay out of the shadow of his/her defender.
Give your transition game a boost with this effective 5 v 4 fast break drill. Follow along as Cortland women's head lacrosse coach Kathy Taylor breaks down the action via whiteboard before heading out to the field for live simulations. This is a terrific drill to practice team finishing and working against defensive pressure in a fast break setting.
The drill starts at the restraining line with the midfielders. Imagine that your middie has broken free and is now ahead of their opposing midfielder. Meanwhile, you should have four other attack players lined up. The goal is to keep the ball ahead of the other middie, who is currently behind us and catching up to the play.
With a 5 on 4 situation, we have a numbers advantage and have the defense matched up. Therefore, the midfielder with the ball must force one of the defenders to make a decision quickly. However, executing here is easier said than done.
Far too often, ball carriers hold on to the ball far too long. As soon as the defense makes any kind of commitment, put that ball into the respective attacker's stick. Move through the space and look for the pass right back for a give and go and a shot. If it doesn't work, keep moving the ball ahead of the defensive slides. There will be a player open.
Practice finding that open player and attacking. But remember, keep the ball ahead of the pressure and make quick decisions. You only have a few seconds until the numbers return to even again.
The previous clips can be seen on Championship Productions' DVD "Building Your Team's Transition Game" with Kathy Taylor." To check out more videos featuring specific offensive systems, visit our lacrosse video library.
The motion offense is a highly-effective system particularly useful at teaching the fundamentals of lacrosse. Suitable for teams at every level of lacrosse, this distinct pass and move system makes each player a threat with the ball and maintains optimal field balance. Led by Limestone head men's coach JB Clarke, the following drills all revolve around the motion offense and will serve as perfect practice additions for your lacrosse team.
This is a simple catch and shoot drill focusing on accurate passing, catching, cutting, and shooting. Start with two opposite lines behind the net. One player has the ball and starts the drill by cutting up towards the GLE as his drill partner comes around a cone placed about 7-10 yards in front of the net. The ball carrier dishes to the shooter, who gets off a quick shot on cage in front.
Try this drill with only attackmen to start practice. Look to get a ton of shots in a short amount of time with this drill and switch sides each time with the catching and shooting. Also, shooters should aim low at the net, point their off shoulder at the feed, and choke up on the stick when down low.
Tips: Remember to communicate early so your teammate knows where to throw the ball. Shooters, turn your head, pick a spot, and finish hard.
This drill puts the motion offense in play. First, the ball starts up top with a middie and he will dodge hard down the alley before making a circle rollback. Next, try to square up in the top center and throw it to a teammate vacating out of the crease. for a high percentage shot. This is the motion that the offense takes when dodging down the alley.
It's crucial to make a good hard initial dodge. One of the keys for the guy carrying the ball is that he turns and actually circles back. Otherwise, the defender will be right in his hands. When you roll away, you can get your hands free and this allows you some space from the defender and you can throw that feed.
Tips: Remember to run this drill in both directions and get a lot of realistic shots within the motion offense. Look to attack at the defense's weakest, which is right after a dodge in this situation. You can add a hitch to the shot, too. This helps when defenders are flying out on the crease player and then you can hitch, step around them, and score.
This 1-on-1 drill puts the players in more realistic formats. Start by putting your crease guys in there as well so the drill takes on a 2-on-2 format. From wherever you start the 1-on-1, the dodger must go with his head up and can't just go running through the crease. You can also put the players behind the net and on the wings to get a ton of reps from different angles. The crease guys have to anticipate what's really going on.
Rules: The crease defenders are only allowed to slide but can't double the ball. The dodger cannot throw the ball to the offensive guy in the crease until the defense slides.
Tips: The first part of any good motion offense is that you have to run by someone and force the defense to slide and that creates a 5-on-4 situation. This should be a main goal of what you do; creating unsettled situations behind the ball. Take the time to teach your players how to dodge, make good moves, and get in good positions to score.

Publisher's Description+
FEAT VPN is not a VPN service. However, it can be configured to connect to VPN services that support OpenVPN.
FEAT VPN comes in two versions. The free version, FEAT VPN Lite, is intended for people who connect to their OpenVPN server only occasionally and its use is limited to one hour per day. The commercial version does not have this time limit.
Right now, you are looking at the commercial version. It does not have the time limit.
Interesting Questions
No root? Really? - No root, no kidding. FEAT VPN leverages Android's built-in L2TP VPN client to simulate a TUN/TAP device for the OpenVPN client. Consult the documentation on http://featvpn.com for more information.
Nice hack! - Yes, isn't it?
Man, I've been waiting for this for years! - Well, we wish that we had thought of FEAT VPN a few years earlier. Mostly, because Android 4.0+ offers an official VPN API and, thus, officially supports 3rd-party VPN apps without root. This makes FEAT VPN obsolete on Android 4.0+.
So, if I upgrade to Android 4.0+... - Then, unfortunately, you won't be able to use FEAT VPN anymore. Not only did Android 4.0+ make FEAT VPN obsolete, it destroyed its foundation: Android's built-in L2TP client was dropped in Android 4.0.
But on Android versions before 4.0, FEAT VPN really works, right? - Well, some - actually: very, very few - devices have a terribly broken built-in L2TP VPN client and it may be too broken to support FEAT VPN. If your device is affected, then you cannot use FEAT VPN and you are eligible for a refund. (If you bought the commercial version, obviously.) Also, FEAT VPN comes with a few limitations. Running without root privileges, it cannot set routes, for example. So, there are no split tunnels. Consult the documentation on http://featvpn.com for more information to see whether FEAT VPN meets your specific needs. It completely meets ours and probably most people's.
Say, FEAT VPN works on my phone, but I run into a problem... - Then please post to our support forum on http://featvpn.com. A support forum is a better place to report problems than an Android Market comment, because we can actually follow up with you and, for example, ask you to send us your FEAT VPN log file.
Anything else that I should know? - Well, in order to use FEAT VPN, you need to to accept a license agreement, which is available for preview on our website with the following URL.
Alright, fair enough. Anything else? - What about permissions? We request five permissions and here's why we want them.
INTERNET - Allows us to exchange VPN tunnel packets with the built-in L2TP VPN client as well as the remote OpenVPN server.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - Allows us to offer you to automatically start FEAT VPN on boot.
WAKE_LOCK - Allows us to keep your device from turning off its screen while FEAT VPN runs its self test.
READ_LOGS - Allows us to access the debug log entries written by the built-in L2TP VPN client. When you send us the FEAT VPN log for debugging purposes, these log entries are included to provide context.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - Allows us to use the SD card as temporary storage for compressing the FEAT VPN log before you send it to us.
As always, the documentation on http://featvpn.com contains more details.

My in-laws reside in my home and have done so the past 7 years. My husband and I are trying to get them to leave and they refuse to. When my husband was house hunting 7 years ago, they convinced him to purchase a larger one-so they could all live together because it would be easier for his monther to care for her "sick and dying" husband. He didn't have the money to purchase a larger home with room for them at the time, so they offered to pay $75,000 so that he could secure the mortgage-they had poor credit and wanted no part of the mortgage or deed. My husband felt guilty and pressured-his mother reminded him he was adopted and they owed this to him for all the years they raised him- he reluctantly agreed. They moved up from South Carolina into his new home. Since then we have had numerous issues with them, all but the last we tolerated. In an argument over pruning a bush in my yard, my father-in-law slapped me accross my face and I filed a restraining order against him. We have since asked them to leave our home and they refuse, saying we need to buy them out. They have lived rent free the last 7 years, paying no taxes, no utilities, and only creating headaches. After they went door to door to our neighbors to preach to them how we are horrible people who "stole" all their money and are trying to throw them out on the street, we hired an attorney. Our attorney attempted to bring an eviction, however, he recently informed us that in the state of New York, there is a new law that you cannot evict a family member. Is this true? He now states he must file some other type of petition to have them removed. I am frustrated and upset. The local police department wont help us-they too feel sorry for them and my in-laws have threatend us with filing a petion to the court that we are discriminating against them because they are old. They have made it clear they refuse to leave. We have already gone to family court over the matter involving my father-in-law hitting me and the judge suggested since their name isnt on the deed they leave. That was 2 months ago and we still havent gotten them out. Legally, what are our options??? Are we considered a landlord??? Are they considered a tenant??? Anyone know about this new law preventing an eviction of a family member??? My attorney isnt responsive. He met with the defendants attorney behind closed doors to discuss them leaving. Is there any way we can obtain a copy of what was said in the meeting with the judge? Our attorney's are friends and my husband is starting to question his actions. I understand our attoney has an oath to represent us, however I suspect he made an arragement with the other party to allow them more time in our location before they need to leave when we have clearly stated we want them removed. I dont feel confident about the representation we have recieve thus far...unfortunately we don't have extra money to retain another attorney and, in consulting local lawyers, no one wants to help us because this is a messy situation that involves multiple areas of law. Please help....
No Lease/Eviction of Family Member?

In future, please break up text into paragraphs; big blocks are harder to read online.
A little too much extraneous commentary.
You don't bother describing whether this $75,000 was a loan, a gift, or whether the parents are arguing a partnership/investment in the property. Regardless, that doesn't mean they have an actual ownership interest in the home such that they can avoid an eviction if you pursue one. Essentially, any deal to purchase real estate (or a part of real estate) must be in writing to be enforceable. If they want to argue an investment in the property or a partnership agreement, they'll have to do that separately. Your average judge will tell them that since their name isn't on the deed, if they want to argue it was a loan or investment, they'll need to sue your husband -- but that doesn't mean they're entitled to avoid eviction if you want them out.
I'd probably argue, at best, the $75,000 was essentially rent paid in advance. I have no idea what kind of space they're taking up or what the pro rata fair market value rent is on their space use, but you can talk with a realtor about that. Let's say it's $900 a month averaged over seven years, never changing despite the market, including utilities -- voila, they've used up their $75k worth. (Granted, if you want to use that argument, you'll probably want to talk with a tax attorney about declaring that income if you can't prove it was a gift.)
I'd feel free to record any conversations with the parents without telling them, since NY is evidently a one-party consent state (and you or husband would be the one party consenting).
"Our attorney attempted to bring an eviction, however, he recently informed us that in the state of New York, there is a new law that you cannot evict a family member."
I don't know what you mean by "attempted to bring an eviction". Either he filed an eviction action and it was tossed out/you lost or he didn't. If this attorney is a real estate attorney who handles landlord-tenant law, he's either an idiot or he's nuts; ask him to give you a copy of this supposed new law. Personally, I'd just fire him and start reading up on eviction paperwork in a local law library (assuming local landlord-tenant court doesn't make it easy for laypeople with a booklet and forms, etc.).
It's not a matter for the police. You need to ascertain whether in NY even if they aren't paying rent whether you have to treat them just like any other tenant in that you have to issue them a month's termination notice and then, if they refuse to move, file an eviction action. Google "New York landlord tenant".
"Are we considered a landlord???"
Very likely; the only question is here is whether, if you are (since you may or may not want to argue they were paying rent), you first have to issue them a written notice of termination of their tenancy before you file an eviction action.
"My attorney isnt responsive."
Then fire him and hire someone else, even if it means borrowing some money from someone, selling something, or working an extra job or two for a couple months to save up.
I'll echo PG's advisory "warning" with a twist: (Many) legal issues are complicated. Explanations and comments here might not fully identify or explain the ramifications of your particular problem. I do not give legal advice as such (and such is impermissible here at any rate). Comments are based on personal knowledge and experience and legal info gleaned over a quarter century, and every state has differing laws on and avenues to address most topics. If you need legal advice, you need to consult (and pay) a professional so that you may have someone to hold accountable. Acting on personal and informational advice from a stranger on the internet is a bad idea -- at least not without your own thorough due dilience/research and confirmation as it applies to your situation.

Thank you for your response.
We have a gift letter from my husbands parents stating the 75,000 they gave him was a gift requiring no repayment. They both have signed it.
I spoke to my attorney and asked for clarification on this matter. He stated that he NYS Case Law states that we need to bring an ejection proceeding on them because they are family. He says that an ejection proceeding is like an eviction but will go before the Supreme Court instead of Family Court. I am still not understanding why we have to go this route. He mentioned that there are so many loop holes in the legal system and to protect ourselves from them filing a bankruptcy, we would need to do this. He stated if they should file bankruptcy, the judge would allow them a hardship and postpone them from leaving.
Does this mean that if we were to file an eviction the judge would throw us out or grant them an extended stay?
Our attorney says he was drawing up the eviction papers but stopped because ejection was how he has to proceed. Is this correct?
This still confuses me. In the same breathe our attorney said the next time we go back to family court we can ask the judge to have them removed. We don't go back till the middle of November! I got the impression that the ejection proceeding would probably not even be heard by this time. Why the long wait?
Our attorney specializes in family law. We hired him because he is noted as being one of the best family law attorney in our small town and needed a legal representative for the restraining order/case we brought against my in-laws in family court. I feel like this matter has become above his scope of knowledge.

Mewis, who was with the U.S. Under-23 squad in December, trained with the full team for a few days at the end of their January camp in Los Angeles and earned a spot on the team. She will be joining her older sister Kristie Mewis on the national team for the first time since the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
The call-up of both Mewis sisters marks the first time sisters have played together on the full U.S. Women's National Team since identical twins Lorrie and Ronnie Fair played together in 1998.
Also named to the roster were UCLA alumnae and U.S. National Team mainstays Lauren Holiday and Sydney Leroux.
Mewis helped lead UCLA to its first-ever NCAA title in 2013, tying the school record for most assists in a NCAA Tournament with five. She also tied the school record for assists in a game with three versus USC this past season. Mewis is a three-time All-Pac-12 selection and ranked third on the team in scoring in 2013 with 21 points (6 goals, 9 assists).
The U.S. will play Canada on Jan. 31 at 8pm CT in Frisco, Texas (TV: FOX Sports 1) and Russia on Feb. 8 at 3:30pm ET in Boca Raton, Fla. (Internet: ussoccer.com) and again on Feb. 12 at 7:30pm ET in Atlanta, Ga. (Internet: ussoccer.com). Head coach Tom Sermanni will name 18 players to suit up for each of the matches.
