AHL Calder Cup Finals Game Night: 6-18-13 Griffins at CrunchSubmitted by pete on June 18, 2013 - 20:56
All good things...
Grand Rapids Wins the Series 4-2
Grand Rapids Wins the Calder Cup
Cedrick Desjardins allowed 3 goals on 23 shots in a game that encapsulated the Finals for Desjardins. Brilliant at times, he allowed a goal through him on the eventual game winner by Evans that he surely wishes he had back. It will be interesting to see how Julien BriseBois retools between the pipes for next season, because you can make the argument the difference between Desjardins and Mrazek was, in large part, the difference between champion and runner-up.

I think Lightning fans everywhere, even with the bitterness of this defeat, need to start by saying, "thank you" to this group of players. The team we've referred to as "SyraNo" on this site, which won a championship in Norfolk last year and almost did again this year with Syracuse has been one of the best groups of players ever to take the ice together in the AHL. A lot of these guys, like Radko Gudas who returned tonight from injury, are ticketed for the NHL next year. Others, some of the really veteran guys, may move on in the offseason. So, this group of guys will never be together again, but we should tip our hat to them for two years of sustained brilliance the likes of which we're unlikely to see again anytime soon.
As for the young prospects who will likely return to Syracuse next season, I found myself highly impressed with Vladislav Namestnikov and Andrej Sustr, both of whom got stronger as the playoffs wore on. Namestnikov is a legit threat to be an AHL All-Star next season, if not more, with his wizardry with the puck and Sustr is something rare and interesting in pro hockey. You have to put aside the fact Andrej is 6'8", because he refuses to play to type. He's not a bone crunching stay-at-homer, and there's a lot of times he looks like a forward with his ability to read the play offensively and jump into the action. His feed to Tyler Johnson in the slot in the Third Period tonight was an incredible bit of vision that I think stunned TJ a bit, and darned near got Syracuse the key goal they needed in the final frame. That's after he tied the game once in the final period with an absolute bullet from the point. These two guys will be fun to watch develop next season.
Ondrej Palat finishes the playoffs as the AHL leader in postseason scoring. Well done, Mr. Palat.

Ondrej Palat got the extremely rare penalty shot in Overtime, but failed to convert against Lake Erie netminder Kent Patterson.
Congratulations to Andrej Sustr on his first pro point, first pro goal, and first pro multi-point game.
Tanner Richard got a helper. In related news, water is wet.
Syracuse is now 3 points back of Providence and 1 points back of Springfield in the conference and 3 points ahead of Binghamton in the division. They head home for a hugely important 5 game homestand to finish the regular season. With Ryan Malone back for Tampa Bay, might Coach Zettler get back one of his star players for the kick at the finish line?

NHL Game Nigh: 4-2-13 Panthers at LightningSubmitted by pete on April 2, 2013 - 21:34
I still hate shootouts.
Mathieu Garon allowed 2 goals on 25 shots and was 1 for 2 in the shootout for the SOL. He got outdueled badly by Markstrom, and Lightning fans have to be cursing the day Lindback got his high ankle sprain.
First Period
08:36 FLA Kopecky (13), (Brennan, Fleischmann)
Second Period
16:41 FLA Rallo (1), (Brennan, Kuba)(PP)
Third Period
05:38 TB Pyatt (7), (Purcell, Carle)
10:32 Killorn (6), (Hedman, Purcell)
FLA- Mueller
The Lightning completely dominated large swaths of this game and deserved better than to only get 1 point out of it. It's damned hard to put together a winning streak when you're surrendering a soft goal or two every game, and the Lightning desperately need a winning streak.
Mike Angelidis was 43% on draws in 7:22.
Alex Killorn had a goal and was +1 with 4 shots in 23:20. He's so money.
Andrej Sustr was +1 with 1 shot in 8:19. Officially 2 giveaways. That'll get your ice time down in single digit minutes as a rookie.
Tyler Johnson had 1 shot, 1 hit, and was 58% on draws in 16:53.
Ondrej Palat was +1 with 2 shots and 3 hits in 11:39.
Radko Gudas had a fight, 2 shots, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 11:55.
Cory Conacher played 14:04 in the game.

NHL Game Night: 3-29-13 Devils at LightningSubmitted by pete on March 29, 2013 - 21:36
Jon Cooper knows the way to the pay window.
Mathieu Garon allowed 4 goals on 25 shots, but was 2 for 2 in the PS session for the victory. He was pretty dreadful tonight, but the Lightning picked him up.
First Period

05:50 NJ Loktionov (7), (D'Agostini, Greene)
06:41 NJ Kostopoulos (1), (unassisted)(PS)
08:00 TB Stamkos (24), (St. Louis, Aulie)
10:26 TB Thompson (7), (Panik, Gudas)
13:58 NJ Greene (3), (D'Agostini, Zidlicky)(PP)

07:11 TB Stamkos (25), (Killorn)
19:44 TB Killorn (5), (Stamkos, Carle)
TB- Purcell, Hedman
Steven Stamkos and Alex Killorn were the game's first and third stars. Coach Cooper saw just what a special player he inherits in Stamkos tonight. Everytime the Lightning looked ready to implode, Stammer got a big goal, and then he had the cool assist on Killorn's game tying tally with the extra attacker.
Love that the effort level is back from the entire team.
Killorn had 1 goal and 1 assist and was +2 with 2 shots, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 20:52.
Andrej Sustr had 1 shot and 1 blocked shot in 13:07 in his NHL debut. High praise for a rookie defenseman: I didn't notice him.
Tyler Johnson had 1 hit and was 67% on draws in 14:26.
Richard Panik had a helper and was +1 with 1 shot in 12:25.
Ondrej Palat was +1 with 3 hits in 12:52.
Radko Gudas had a helper and was +1 with 7 penalty minutes, 2 shots, 6 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 15:23. Pretty standard for Radko's office hours.
Cory Conacher was +1 with 3 shots, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 8:22.

Today I checked my personal email...well, one of my personal email accounts, I don't even know how many I have...and found a message from my masters at Examiner.com noting that I hadn't posted a blog entry in the past two weeks, and offering to help me. That's fine. I understand it is important to post regularly, and it's nice that Examiner.com wants to help.
But then again, that's the problem. You see, for social media platforms, i.e. blogs, sites, Facebook pages, Instagram accounts, whatever, to excel, requires regular usage. Otherwise you lose your grip on that golden prize which is Good SEO--Search Engine Optimization.
And the problem with THAT is, it results in all manner of material being posted, whether it's YAHOO News or stories at MSNBC or wherever information appears online, that's not really news. It's content.
"Kim Kardashian's OUTRAGEOUS new dress!" screams a headline. You click on it, and you see...Kim Kardashian in a dress. It's not outrageous. It's a dress. "SHOCKING discovery about carbs may impact your waist!" You click on it, and you read...how carbohydrates can make you fat. Which nowadays is akin to "water can make you wet."
I tell my PR colleagues that, despite the claims a few years back that the advent of the online world would mean the end of newspapers and that would mean the end of public (or at least media) relations, I'm truly busier now that I ever was. All manner of freelancers are working on health and medical stories (my area of PR expertise) for all manner of online platforms, online magazines and newspapers, information websites, and on and on.
And for me, that's great, it really is, because it means I'll stay gainfully employed. But the fact of the matter is, as when it comes to this blog for instance, there are times I have nothing exciting or new to talk about. So, guess what? I don't post.
I'm not going to post just to post, aspiring to pump up my SEO. Because that means I"m just adding to the CONTENT while failing to focus on the education and betterment of my readers.
I still believe that if you have something to say, something NEW to add to the virtual global discussion which is social media and the internet, great, then say it. If you don't, don't. Empty content only serves to cheapen social media as a way to spread REAL news and truly helpful, accurate information, i.e. the fake Kardashian "news" poisons the posts that really do have something to offer.
And that's all I've got to say, so I'll close. Otherwise, I'd just be padding the content.

Chicken Embryo Development
The chicken embryo has been intensively studied because embryos are available in large numbers. Even though the eggs of chicks and mammals contain very different amounts of yolk, the similarities of the post-blastula chick embryo to the mammalian embryo are striking, and thus the chick embryo is a reasonably good model for studying mammalian embryonic development.
Chick embryos that have been incubated for approximately 48, 72 and 96 hours after fertilization will be available for you to examine. However, specimens of similar ages post-fertilization may show a wide variation of maturation stages. The incubation times provide only an estimation of how far development of the embryo will have progressed. The temperature of incubation (which may be different among eggs depending on their locations within the incubator), as well as the rate of growth of the individual embryo itself will affect the overall developmental process. Not all embryos will look the same, so compare several to each other. If you see anything interesting, share your observations with your fellow students.
Stages in chick embryo development
The 48-hour chick embryo
These embryos will be set up as demonstrations under dissecting microscopes. Locate the embryo situated on top of the large yolk mass. It will be very pale in color. It may be necessary to use a vital stain solution (e.g., neutral red) to highlight the embryo structures. Compare the live embryos with the prepared slides of 33-hour embryos.
The 72-hour chick embryo
This embryo has reached a stage that allows some manipulation on your part. You should use the following procedure to remove the embryos from the shell and place them in a shell-free culture system.
Shell-free Cuture System Procedure (Eggs must be at 72-hours of incubation, or the yolk will be too fragile to be transferred without breaking)
1. Fill a plastic cup with an inch of water. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the top of the cup, letting it drape down a bit. It must be secured with a rubber band to hold the plastic wrap in position.
2. Trim away excess plastic wrap around the rubber band. (If plastic is not trimmed, the egg albumen will wick out of the container creating a mess in the incubator and reducing the embryo survival)
3. Obtain a 72-hour egg. Wipe the shell with 70% ethanol and allow it to dry. Hold the egg horizontally for 1 minute to allow the embryo to rotate to the upper side of the shell.
4. Refer to image below - Carefully crack the egg as if for frying and let the contents drop onto the plastic wrap. Try to crack the egg gently but firmly so that a single large crack is produced. DO NOT BREAK THE YOLK. If the yolk breaks, there is little chance that the embryo will survive.
5. Look for the embryo (see image below). It may have ended up underneath the yolk. It usually will float to the top of the yolk within a few minutes.
72 hours of incubation - The leg buds are slightly larger than wing buds; 30-36 somites are present, which extend beyond leg buds; allantois is short, thick-walled pocket and not yet vesicular.
6. Cover the entire assembly with a 100mm-diameter plastic petri dish lid. Place the culture in the egg incubator (at 38oC). Observe the cultured embryos daily. As the embryo develops, note changes in the eye, limbs, and extra-embryonic membranes.

An American politician and member of the Republican Party, Henry Goode Blasdel was born on January 29, 1825 near Lawrenceburg, Indiana. With a limited education from Indiana's common schools, he began to study law at the age of 17.
In 1845, Henry took Sarah Jane Cox for his wife. By the time he was 21, Henry was the captain of his own steamboat and an active participant in the produce shipping business on the Mississippi River.
Blasel later felt the call to move west and settled his family in Nevada during 1859. Though strong in his principles, he was also flexible in his disposition. He made a fortune in grain speculation, but later lost it during the financial panic of 1860.
Finding employment with the Hale & Norcross Mine, he assumed the responsibility of a superintendent; a position he later resigned due the fact he refused to work his crews on the Sabbath. Eventually he obtained his own mine and in doing so, reclaimed the fortune he previously lost. He used these funds to begin investing in silverware he bought from dealers in Sacramento, San Francisco and Virginia City.
His political career began in 1861 when Blasdel was appointed Recorder of Storey County. He was also an active participant in the National Union League Committee. This group was responsible for notifying President Abraham Lincoln he would be on the next ballot as the Republican candidate when he sought re-election.
A surprising announcement awaited Blasdel when he returned from a trip back home to Indiana in 1864. He had been nominated to be the gubernatorial candidate on the Republican ticket for the recently formed State of Nevada. After winning the election, Blasdel used Nevada's silver stores to help support the Union Army near the end of the Civil War. In 1866, he was re-elected. During his years in Nevada's version of the Oval Office, the state's government was organized, plans were authorized for the capitol building and Indian uprising were a monumental issue.
A man of incredible height for his time (6'5" tall), Blasdel was forced to go to special lengths to find clothes. A man of fastidious taste and fashion, he contacted his friend, Attorney John Drish of San Francisco, to enlist the services of one of that city's tailors to construct clothing and gloves for him in the specific styles and colors he preferred.
- - - - -
Approximately one month following the assassination of President Lincoln, the Carson Daily Appeal began. The paper received information from the east by way of sporadic telegraph messages, due to the fact Indians many times tore down the lines. Governor Blasdel wrote a proclamation about the president's death and then beginning on April 15, 1865, made daily notes in his diaries:
Friday, April 14, 1865
President Lincoln was this day assassinated in Washington City, by the notorious J. Wilkes Booth, illegitimate son of Junius Brutus Booth, an English actor and attempted at the same hour to assassinate Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secy of State, in his bed, to which he was confined from recent injuries by a fall from his carriage.
Saturday, April 15, 1865
Rec'd the sad news of the assassination of President Lincoln, and attempted assassination of Secy. Seward, last night, at Washington City. Mr. Lincoln died this morning.
Sunday, April 17, 1865
The Cheering news by telegraph today is that Mr. Secy. Seward is improving slightly.
Rev. W. F. White delivered a feeling and eloquent discourse on the assassination of President Lincoln. (A. F. White was an early minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Carson City. (from Nevada Historical Society Quarterly, Summer 1983).
Monday, April 18, 1865
Earnest and appropriate preparations are being made by the citizens generally, to observe, in a becoming manner, the funeral rights of President Lincoln.
On May 23, 1865, Governor Blasdel released a Proclamation in which he called for a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer:
State of Nevada
Executive Department
WHEREAS, GREAT GRIEF HAS BEEN officially brought upon our land and nation by the untimely death of our Chief Ruler, Abraham Lincoln; and whereas, in this time of national sorrow, we should look up to a higher source than a man for relief and consolation and whereas it is right and proper at all times to acknowledge God as our Supreme Ruler, and the giver of all good gifts, therefore, let us humble ourselves before our Heavenly Father, with fasting; and sincerely pray for His protection and guidance in this time of great affliction...
And to this end, and in accordance with the Proclamation of the President of the United States, and wishes of a heart stricken people I do appoint,
Thursday, the 1st day of June, 1865, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer..
- - - - - -
In February 1866, Nevada's legislature created Lincoln County. Governor Blasdel traveled there in March to organize the county. For the next three months, the citizens of Nevada were concerned over the welfare of their governor due to lack of communication from him. Fearing the group had perished, it was later learned they were only slightly the worse for wear when they trailed into the Pahranagat Mining District.
One might find themselves wondering the thoughts which would fill the mind of Nevada's first governor were he able to return to this state for a visit. A devout Methodist and strict believer in abstinence, Blasdel was fervent opponent of the gambling industry. In the message he delivered to the Legislature in 1867, Governor Blasdel said:
"Gaming is an intolerable and inexcusable vice. It saps the very foundation of morality, breeds contempt for honest industry, and totally disqualifies its victims for the discharge of the ordinary duties of life. Every energy of the State should be invoked to suppress it."
Referring to gambling as the "root of all evils," Blasdel vetoed the bill Nevada's legislature sent to his desk in 1869. The legislature, however, overturned the veto and "the rest is history."
During Blasdel's time in office, visitors to the Governor's residence located in Carson City were never served alcohol of any form. This came as a surprise to those who held a hard-drinking mindset of the territory's earlier residents. As a result, Governor Blasdel was referred to as Nevada's "Chocolate and Tea" Governor.
Following his time in office, Blasdel retired from politics and moved his family to California. After establishing his residence in Oakland, Blasdel continued his interest and activity in milling and mining.
Henry Blasdel died on July 22, 1900 at his home in Oakland, California and was buried in Mountain View Cemetery. Though the first of Nevada's governors, he was the second to be buried at Mountain View. Charles C. Stevenson, Nevada's fifth governor, had died in office 10 years earlier and was buried in that same cemetery.

PLIST update for math/octave-forge

College Hockey:Former Utica goaltender Therrien joins Plymouth State coaching staff
Months after completing his four-year career as a goaltender at Utica, Nick Therrien has been hired as an assistant coach at Plymouth State.
Therrien was 45-17-3 with a 2.31 GAA and .915 save percentage in his career at Utica, where he led the Pioneers to the national semifinals as a junior.
"We are very pleased to add Nick to our staff," Panthers coach Craig Russell said in a news release. "It's clear that his values as an individual line up with our team values and our overall style. He's been a part of a program that had a lot of success while he played an integral role and I believe that he will be able to bring those experiences to the bench with us.
"In our meetings I can tell that he is extremely passionate about coaching and will be able to play a role in every aspect of coaching while he's here."
Therrien will be attending graduate school at Plymouth State with a concentration in Athletic Administration.
"It's an amazing opportunity to be able to start my coaching career at Plymouth State University," Therrien said in a news release. "I already know Coach Russell will be a great mentor for me the next two years. I can't wait to get to campus and get to know all the players as we work toward another MASCAC championship."

I've been reading about how the new Compiz-based Unity has issues with virtual box and what not.
Since NX effectively sets up a virtual interface/session, will Unity work within an NX server session?
Has anyone had any experience with this yet?
Unity on Compiz, for Natty, is designed with 3D graphics in mind. I believe that won't work across an NX session. But you'll still be able to use the "Classic" interface, with panels top and bottom in 11.04.

After taking this week off so Sega could get in a double release of classic gaming itself, Hudson returns to the Nintendo Wii with a vengeance next week with two more releases in the pipeline.
According to the company's official website, both Bloody Wolf and World Sports Competition will be released this coming Monday. Bloody Wolf is a Contra-like side-scrolling shooter for one or two players from Data East, while World Sports Competition is an Olympics-style game featuring a number of skill-based mini-games (how fitting for the Wii).
World Sports Competition was originally scheduled for release in May, but delayed for unknown reasons until this month. Both titles will retail for 600 Wii Points.

If_you_want to know was Down syndrome test correct or not with clairvoyance Find a group at facebook. Facebook group is called Baby gender by parents photoposted 08/05/2015 by JoeRD
I had an abnormal test for downs. The results of the AFP test was 1:56 chance that my baby had downs. I later did a second level ultrasound to determine if my baby had any signs of it. The dr found a bright spot on my baby's heart.Because they found a bright spot on the baby's heart, the doctor changed my baby's chances of having downs to 1:26. I was given a choice to do the amino; however, my husband and I decided not to continue with the procedure as it can harm our baby or even kill the baby. We were going to keep the baby no matter what the results were. I worried and cried for weeks not knowing if my baby had downs. After researching the internet and finding this helpful website, it reassured me that my baby was fine. So many people on this site were in the same situation as me and they ended up with a perfectly normal baby. I had hope! After 6 long months of waiting, I gave birth to a normal healthy 8 lb baby!I want to let people know that the afp test has a lot of false positiveposted 02/22/2008 by Ethanlt
I am 31 yrs old and my test came back with a 1 in 6 chance of down syndrome. I was devastated. We had the u/s which showed no markers but decreased the odds to 1 in 20. Thank God for my husband who is much more emotionally stronger than I am who decided we should not have the amnio. I was not in the right mental state to make that decision myself. Either way this baby is a gift from above and I wouldn't consider terminating the pregnancy. I chose to focus on the life growing within me and pray that God prepare me for whatever lies ahead. I am now 23 weeks and there is a peace within me because I am confident that this is what God has planned for me - whether my baby has downs or not.posted 07/08/2008 by Mo'sMommy4
We also had a positive AFP for Down Syndrome. Our results were 1:51. After much struggle and indecision, we decided to have the amnio, along with a "FISH" test which cut the wait time for results down to two days. The results are that our (third) baby boy is fine! But this was a week of heartache for not only us but our families and friends. I agree with what one poster said... I think these tests should be outlawed, or only given to people who are educated and understand what is really happening... your baby IS NOT BEING TESTED FOR DOWN SYNDROME! This is JUST A SCREENING and it is often (the genetic's counselor said 40% of the time) WRONG! We didn't know this and were actually told word for word from the doctor that our baby tested positive for down syndrome. Unbelieveable the amount of presssure and stress this can add to a pregnancy, a time that you don't need to feel unnecessary stressors! good luck, hang in there, and try to be positive.posted 06/24/2008 by malachi'zma
I also had a abnormal AFP but my doctor told me if you are off on your last period and they gave you a wrong due date that could make it abnormal. So when I had to go in and get a ultrasound and everything was OK I too was scared but they gave me a ultrasound and they where 2 weeks off my due date and thats why my tes came back abnormal so maybe you just have your dates off don't be worried everything will be OKposted 01/20/2008 by MSMARWILLIAMS
I want to share my story for anyone who is freaking out about this test. My AFP came back with a 1:3 chance of my baby having Down syndrome. I had the level II ultrasound, and they said her arm bone, leg bone and sinus bone were measuring short, and my chances were still 1:3 after that ultrasound. I chose to have the amnio. I got the call yesterday-the fast results came back, and everything looks fine! I cannot explain to you what the past 5 days were like. It did not help that my ultrasound and amnio were done on Christmas Eve. This Christmas was ruined. But, next year, I will have my little girl, and we will make up for it. Just remember: it is hard NOT to worry, but if I can be fine with 1:3 odds, try not to freak out if you have an abnormal test!posted 12/30/2008 by babygrl92795
IM 40YRS AND HAD THE AFP IT COME BACK ABNORMAL.I HAD RECIEVED A LETTER THE DAY BEFORE MY BABY DOCTORS APPT.I WAS NEVOUS BUT WHEN HE COMFERMED THAT IT WAS ABNORMAL MY HEART DROPPED. I WAS SCHUELE FOR SONOGRAM 2 AND THEY TOLD MY MY ODDS WHERE 1-72 FOR DOWNS BECAUSE OF MY AGE. I HAD THE ANMIO DONE JUST TO MAKE SURE ABOUT THE DOWN.WE HAD TO WAIT 2 1/2 WEEKS AND ALL I DID WAS PRAY AND TRY TO THINK OF THE BEST.WE FINALLY GOT THE CALL AND THERE WAS NO DOWN AND I FOUND OUT SHE A GRL IT MY 4TH CHILD WE WHERE HOPING FOR A BOY BUT AFTER EVERY IVE BEEN THREW HEALTHY WAS BEST I DIDNT CARE ANYMORE. I PRAY FOR ALL U WOMEN THAT R GOING THREW THIS TESTING BUT I CAME ON HERE READ ABOUT ALL THE POSTIVE STORY WHICH GAVE MY HOPE AND FAITH.MY PRAYS R WITH.IM GLAD TO SAY NOW I CAN ENJOY THE REST OF MY PREGANCY.WE R NAMING THE BABY ABBY'EL FAITH BECAUSE THATS WHAT HAS GOTTEN ME THREW THIS.PRAY AND HAVE FAITH THEN FORGET ABOUT BY NOT STRESSING AND WAIT INTIL U HEAR MORE THEN CROSS THAT BRIGE WHEN U GET THERE!!posted 02/29/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 39, 19 weeks pregnant. My afp was 1:2 positive for downs syndrome. I just got word today that the amniocentesis confirmed NO CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITIES. AFP was false positive! Hope this will encourage someone who is hoping beyond hope for a healthy baby after receiving a positive AFP screening. I'll keep you in my prayers.posted 12/08/2008 by sssshhhh1
I tested high risk for downs.The result from the afp test said a 1:67 chance that my baby had downs.I went in a week later and had a level 2 ultrasound.My life was turned upside down.The ultrasound showed two soft markers for downs.One on my baby's heart, and one on his kidneys.I was sooo scared.That took my odds from 1:67 to a 1:20.So I did the amnio it took two long weeks to get the results back.When they came back i was so happy my lil man is 100% fine!!!!!!No downs nothing.These test have such a high rate of false positives!!!!!!!Ultrasound are only 50% accurate!!!!!These soft markers that they find on ultrasounds are found on perfectly healthy babies!!!!Try to stay calm.I'm sure everything will be okay!!!!!posted 11/08/2008 by jenosborne
I never answer any of these questions but, I felt this was a good time to start. I am 36 y/o and the parent of 3 healthy boys (13,10,2) I had an abonormal quad screen test that gave me a 1/17 chance of hahaving a baby with down's. We waited 2 horribly long weeks to have an ultrasound. After the ultrasound they increased our risk to 1/3. Needless to say this didn't help. I felt relieved to see my baby had a healthy heart and brain but, his thigh bone was shorter than they thought it should be. So they increased our risk. I had been opposed to doing the amnio but, at that point I couldn't take the stress any more and had to know. We requested FISH results and received the news yesterday that we have a healthy baby boy who does NOT have down's. With 2 and a half horrible weeks of waiting and not wanted to think the worst. I want to say...Please relax (easy to say right) These tests have so many false positives, it is not fair to us parents. Lots of prayers to all that are in my position!posted 08/14/2008 by melthompson24

HTC Eternity leaked, should come with Windows Phone Mango
Microsoft's brand new Windows Phone Mango will be launched sometime in October this year, with the help of hardware manufacturers like Nokia, HTC, Samsung, LG, Dell and others. We've already seen one of Nokia's possible Mango handsets, and now it's time to take a look at what seems to be one of HTC's first devices to run the new OS.
Meet the HTC Eternity, which, if the info uncovered by HTCinside is correct, may become the biggest Windows Phone handset ever, literally. That's because it seems to sport a 4.7 inch WVGA S-LCD screen, thus measuring 130.6 x 70 x 9.9 mm.
Other features should include:
- HSDPA (up to 14.4 Mbps)
- Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
- 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor (single-core, apparently)
- 512MB of RAM
- 8MP autofocus camera with LED flash
- 1.3MP front-facing camera
- 16GB of internal memory
- 1850 mAh battery
Well, this is certainly a smartphone that's worth checking out – if you have nothing against Windows Phone anyway. We're now waiting for some official details on it to show up.

Outpatient therapy can also be used to supplement School Based Therapy. Services include:
Physical Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Speech Therapy
An evaluation is set up for each child during a one-hour blockof time per discipline. The hour will consist of assessing the child's skills and interviewing parents/caretakers for pertinent information. The actual evaluation is different for each child depending on the presenting problems. Various assessment tools are used. Results of the evaluation and treatment plan are discussed with the family and other team members when applicable. Parents and caretakers are encouraged to actively participate in therapy and to learn therapy techniques for use in the home.
Infants and children of all different abilities can benefit from our pediatric therapies. Some children's therapy needs will be short term as in the case of sport injuries. Other children may require therapy over a longer period of time, as in the case of developmental delay and neurological involvement.
Pediatric physical therapists are trained to assess motor development, range of motion, strength, coordination and muscle tone of children. They have the expertise to determine the appropriate treatment for physical limitations or functional impairments. They primarily use modalities and exercise in the form of play as treatment techniques. Their goals may include improving a child's functional skills and preventing or limiting disability in a variety of developmental areas.
Occupational therapists help children to perform functional tasks that normally occupy their lives. The "occupation" of childhood is to develop the skills necessary to become functional and independent adults. These skills include the development of motor skills, self care skills and school readiness skills. A sensory integrative approach is provided by certified therapists in order to refine sensory processing and discrimination.
Speech therapy helps children who are having difficulty being understood and understanding others, expressing their thoughts in words, articulating sound, attending conversation and swallowing. The pediatric speech therapists work one-on-one with the child in a fun and positive atmosphere for therapy.

I am updating my post from yesterday and making it my featured post. I'm so infuriated by this story that I'm seeing red. The local radio station was reporting the story this morning and they said that the reason the Grand Jury did not indict Cardinal Bevilacqua was because he is 86 years old and in poor health. Since when does your age have anything to do with whether you have committed a crime. And make no bones about it, this man committed a horrific crime. He knowingly allowed deviant evil predators to rape 10 year old boys. He transferred these fiends to other parishes, allowing them to rape again. This man should be thrown into prison like a common punk criminal.
The evil acts of these priests is almost beyond comprehension. You need to understand the point of view of a 10 year old boy in Catholic school. You are in 4th grade. You still play with army men. You play little league baseball. You are taught from 1st grade on that priests are Jesus Christ. You are in awe of priests. You are a little bit afraid, because they have the power to forgive your sins. A priest is an all-powerful figure. Now imagine your ten year old son with a priest's dick in his mouth and the priest sticking his dick in your ten year old son's ass. THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone had done this to my sons, I would get a gun and I would kill these deviant fuckers. I would not care about the consequences. First I would beat them within an inch of their lives and then I'd put a bullet in their heads. Then I'd go to confession, say I'm sorry, say 5 Our Fathers, and then according to the Catholic Church everything would be OK.
Think about the fact that Bishops, Cardinals, and even the Pope not only covered up these acts, they shipped these deviants to other parishes. When told of these acts, Cardinal Bevilacqua's first question was whether the statute of limitations was up. THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!
I was born Catholic. Do I believe in God? Yes I do. I do wonder how he can allow this to happen, but I do believe in God.
Do I believe in the Catholic Church? NO I DO NOT. The Catholic Church is an Institution made by men for the benefit of men. The MEN who run the Catholic Church care about power and money. They are no different than Wall Street Bankers. These MEN have not been brought to justice. The Catholic Heirarchy is Evil because they have committed evil acts. Until they are brought to justice anything the Catholic Church does or says is suspect.
It has been many months since my last post about the Catholic Church Sexual Abuse coverup. The Phila Archdiocese had been shaken by a priest abuse scandal a few years ago. When the list of evil child fucking priests was revealed, I saw the name Father Shea on the list. He was the assistant pastor at my parish when I was a kid. Not only did this little boy fucker not go to jail, Cardinal Bevalaqua didn't even defrock him. He lives out his days in the St Francis Home for elderly priests in Darby, PA. It seems that the statute of limitations was up for all the abuse cases put forward by the Grand Jury.
The part that infuriated me was not that there were child fucker deviant priests. There are sexual deviants all over the place. The heirarchy of the Catholic church – Pastors, Bishops, Cardinals and even the Pope, covered up this sexual abuse. They did not turn these evil scum over to the police. They knowingly transferred them to other parishes where they could satisfy their evil urges again and again. For these acts, the heirarchy of the Catholic Church deserve to burn in the hottest part of HELL.
The Catholic Church PR machine assured the public that they had rooted out the evil sexual predators and the scandal was a thing of the past. Pass the collection plate please. No one in the Catholic heirarchy went to jail. No Cardinal or Bishop was defrocked. The Pope has been implicated in the coverup. The Catholic Church is the richest church on earth. They fight every accusation. They pay hush money to the families of the victims. They close parishes and don't build new high schools because they have to keep paying millions to the victims. All done in secret.
But the truth keeps being revealed. Below is one of the most disgusting stories you will ever read. The Grand Jury has just issued a 128 report of evilness that will make your blood boil. I have provided a link to the report, but I've posted the first 5 pages below for your enjoyment. This evilness permeates the Philadelphia Archdiocese. The current and past Cardinals of Phila should go to jail.
I spent 12 years in Catholic School. I went to church every week. I've sent all three of my boys to Catholic School. In the past year, I've become so disgusted by the leadership of the Catholic Church, that I stopped going to Mass and giving them any money. I will never give another dime to this corrupt evil organization. They are no better than the mafia or the criminal banks that I rail about.
I judge people and organizations by their actions, not their words. The actions of the Catholic Church are vile, evil and disgusting. These MEN portray themselves as holy and representing Jesus Christ. Nothing could be further from the truth. May they all burn in hell.
4 priests charged in sex abuse investigation
By David O'Reilly
Inquirer Staff Writer
Monsignor William Lynn, former head of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia's Office for Clergy, has been charged for allegedly failing to protect children from sexual abuse by priests, District Attorney Seth Williams announced today.
Two felony counts of endangering the welfare were lodged against Lynn follow a grand jury investigation, Williams said at a news conference.
Williams also announced the Revs. Charles Engelhardt, 64, and Edward Avery, 68, and Bernard Shero, 47, a former 6th grade teacher at St. Jerome's School in Northeast Philadelphia, had been charged with raping and sexually assaulting the same boy in the parish between 1998, when he was 10 years old, and 2000.
Another priest, the Rev James Brennan, 47, is charged with raping and sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy in 1996.
All five men were arrested today, official said.
Williams said Lynn, who was the Archdiocese's Secretary of the Clergy from 1992 to 2004, "supervised two of the abusers . . . knew they were dangerous and chose to expose them to new victims."
Since 2004 Lynn has served as pastor of St. Joseph's Church in Downingtown, a parish of nearly 4,000 families.
As head of the clergy office, Lynn oversaw all priest personnel issues, which included advising Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua and his successor, Cardinal Justin Rigali, on the assignment of priests; interviewing persons who reported sexual abuse by a priests; and overseeing the treatment of clergy known to have abused children.
In a message to church deacons, Rigali said he could not comment directly on the grand jury report because he had not yet received it.
But, he added: "I know the release of this report will be painful and my deep concern is for all of those who have been abused. I urge all the faithful of the Archdiocese to pray for, to extend every concern for and remain open to understanding the experience of the victims. It is in that spirit that we reflect upon the grand jury's actions and the recommendations they make."
At Lynnn's church in Downingtown, workers in the parish office declined comment, abruptly referring reporters to Donna Farrell, the archdiocesan spokeswoman.
When an Inquirer reporter began to speak with a female parishioner outside the building, one of the workers ran out, grabbed her, and pulled her inside.
Several other parishioners expressed shock at news of the charges but declined to give their names. A man arriving for choir practice said he did not have enough information to comment. A woman who pulled up at the adjacent church school – which her daughter attends – said she did not want her remarks to reflect adversely on the school.
"We love this school," she said. "I'm absolutely stunned; we totally trusted him."
Today's charges come nearly 5 1/2 years after a Philadelphia grand jury excoriated the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for an "immoral cover-up" of its sexually abusive clergy, and for creating what it said was a climate that exposed hundreds of children to assault.
Although the 2005 report directed much of its ire at Bevilacqua, the Roman Catholic archbishop from 1988 to 2003, it mentioned Lynn 652 times – more than any other member of the archdiocesan hierarchy, including Bevilacqua.
"Secretary for Clergy Lynn . . . treated victims as potential plaintiffs. Not only did they not receive apologies acknowledging their abuse, but many were bullied, intimidated, lied to, even investigated themselves," the report said.
It also accused Lynn of repeatedly failing to investigate abuse charges, reassigning abusive priests, and concealing their crimes from civil authorities and the Catholic laity.
"It became apparent to the Grand Jurors that Msgr. Lynn was handling the cases precisely as his boss [Bevilacqua] wished," it said.
The assistant district attorneys who wrote the scathing, 468-page report in 2005 said their office had sought ways to bring criminal charges against several archdiocesan leaders but were frustrated by Pennsylvania's "inadequate" state laws, such as the statute of limitations.
In September 2003, a grand jury of local citizens released a report detailing a sad history of sexual abuse by priests of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. That abuse was known, tolerated, and hidden by high church officials, up to and including the Cardinal himself. The previous grand jury was frustrated that it could not charge either the abusers or their protectors in the church, because the successful cover-up of the abuse resulted in the expiration of the statute of limitations. Now, measures taken in response to the previous report have led to new information about more recent abuse, which this grand jury was empaneled to investigate. The fact that we received that information, and from the church itself, is some sign of progress; and this time there will be charges. The present grand jury, however, is frustrated to report that much has not changed. The rapist priests we accuse were well known to the Secretary of Clergy, but he cloaked their conduct and put them in place to do it again. The procedures implemented by the Archdiocese to help victims are in fact designed to help the abusers, and the Archdiocese itself. Worst of all, apparent abusers – dozens of them, we believe – remain on duty in the Archdiocese, today, with open access to new young prey.
Billy and Mark
This grand jury case began because two men came forward, while still young, to say what was done to them as children. By no means do we believe that these are the only two parishioners who were abused during this period. It remains an extraordinarily difficult thing for adults to tell authorities that they were taken advantage of, in the most intimate, shameful ways, by people they trusted. Their stories must be told, however, because they reveal a great deal about the current treatment of sexual abuse in the Philadelphia Archdiocese.
Twelve years ago, Billy was a 10-year-old altar boy in the fifth grade at St. Jerome School in Philadelphia. "Billy" is a pseudonym; he is still reluctant to name himself publicly, although he knows he will have to do so soon. While alone with him in the sacristy, Father Charles Engelhardt began to show Billy pornographic magazines. Eventually, the priest directed Billy to take off his clothes, and to put his penis in the priest's mouth. Then the priest reversed positions, until he ejaculated on the boy. After that, Billy was in effect passed around to Engelhardt's colleagues. Father Edward Avery undressed with the boy, told him that God loved him, had him engage in oral intercourse, and ejaculated on him. Next was the turn of Bernard Shero, a teacher in the school. Shero offered Billy a ride home, but instead stopped at a park, told Billy they were "going to have some fun," took off the boy's clothes, orally and anally raped him, and then made him walk the rest of the way home.
That was the beginning of a longer journey. Billy stopped talking with friends and started smoking marijuana. He would often gag and vomit for reasons the doctors could not discern. He checked books out of the library about sexual abuse. By high school he was taking pills, and then heroin.
The second victim, Mark, was only nine when he first met Father James Brennan, a parochial vicar at St. Andrew Church in Newtown. Father Brennan became a family "friend" who often visited the house. Mark, though, was the subject of special attention from the priest, who persistently wrestled with the boy, rubbed his back and shoulders, and openly brought up sex talk. When Mark was 14, in 1996, Father Brennan was finally ready to make his move. He arranged with Mark's mother for a "sleepover" at an apartment the priest was renting. Once he had the boy there, Brennan showed him pornographic pictures on his computer, bragged about his penis size, and insisted that Mark sleep together with him in his bed. Then he lay down behind the boy and put his penis into the boy's buttocks. Mark told his parents what happened, and they confronted Brennan, but he denied it and they believed the priest. From that point, Mark suffered depression, dramatic weight loss, and drug and alcohol addiction. Ultimately he attempted suicide.
Above is a description of the evil acts of evil people. The worse part is the coverup by the heirarchy of the Church. This man, Cardinal Bevilacqua knowingly allowed boy raping priests to be shielded from authorities and transferred to other parishes, while using the legal system to protect the Catholic Church from crimes. He authorized the payment of millions in hush money to keep the families of victims silent.
The exploits of Father Lynn are detailed above.
Cardinal Krol was the head of the Phila Archdiocese when I was a kid. He confirmed me. He also knowingly moved deviant rapists from parish to parish where they could prey on little 10 year old boys.
Father Thomas Shea was the asst pastor at St. Joseph's parish in Collingdale when I was a kid. He had raped boys at St. Huberts. They transferred him to St. Josephs where he raped at least two boys, one who later committed suicide. He resides in an old priests home, never being charged because of the statute of limitations.

Excerpt from page 3-4
Drying can actually improve the flavor of many foods. Bananas are fantastic fruits, but dried bananas are heavenly. A Roma tomato is almost too bland to eat fresh, but dried it's a treat your tastebuds will savor. Watery Asian pears are sometims a little disappointing. Dried, the are amon the finest treats on the planet.
Indoor electric food dryers have become very popular in recent years. These dryers generally work well. But they do have somedrawbacks. They require electricity around the clock — 100 to 600 Watts is typical. An electric dryer costs about one to two dollars per load fo rthe electricity to operate it. These electricity costs eat into the savings of doing it yourself.

Last Time out: ? Chase Budinger scored 17 points and Jawann McClellan added 13 points and six rebounds as Arizona posted a 68-50 exhibition win over Concordia University last Sunday.? UA shot 50 percent from the field and limited the visiting Stingers to just 27.3 percent in racing to a 33-15 halftime lead.? Concordia cut the lead to eight points with just over eight minutes to go before Nic Wise scored on back-to-back possessions to keep the lead in double figures.
On the Sideline: ? Prior to last Sundayˇ?s exhibition game, it was announced that UA head coach Lute Olson would be taking a leave of absence due to a personal matter.? There has been no timetable set for his return.? During this period, assistant coach Kevin Oˇ?Neill will handle the head coaching responsibilities.
First Impressions: ? Jordan Hill put forth a good effort in his first appearance of the preseason.? The 6-foot-10 sophomore forward posted 12 points, seven rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes.? Hill connected on 6-of-9 field goal attempts, including four dunks in the first half.
Defensive impressions: ? Arizona did a few things well in the won over Concordia.? UA held the Stingers to just 35.2 percent (19-of-54) from the field, including 6-of-22 (.237) in the first half and .238 shooting behind the arc, posted a 36-33 rebound advantage and turned 14 CU turnovers into 19 Arizona points.? UAˇ?s 19-3 points-off-turnovers advantage proved to be the difference in the game.
Leading the Way: ? Arizonaˇ?s defensive efforts may have been highlighted by freshman Jamelle Horne, who collected four blocks and a steal ?C all in the second half of Sundayˇ?s contest.? The 6-foot-6 native of San Diego also knocked down 5-of-8 free throws and finished with seven points.
Nice Ratio: ? Stating that heˇ?d, ˇ?take that every game,ˇ± interim head coach Kevin Oˇ?Neill definitely enjoyed seeing his point guard post an 8:1 assist:turnover ratio against Concordia.? Additionally, Jerryd Bayless chipped in with eight points, three boards, a block and a steal in just 27 minutes.
Iron Men: ? In a game in which 10 Wildcats saw action, only two, senior Jawann McClellan and sophomore Chase Budinger, played more than 30 minutes.? The wings combined for 30 points (13-of-26 shooting), 10 rebounds and four assists and only one turnover in 71 minutes of action.? Incidentally, six players logged double-figure minutes against Concordia.
Strong Off the Bench: ? Nic Wise made the most of his 19 minutes against Concordia, especially in the second half.? In addition to the efforts listed above, Wise hit all three of his FG attempts and both FT attempts after the halftime, finishing with nine points and an assist.? Heˇ?s a combined 8-of-14 (.571) from the field during the exhibition season.
Hitting Shots: ? Perhaps itˇ?s why they were selected to start.? Regardless, Arizonaˇ?s starting lineup against Concordia (Tangara, Budinger, Hill, Bayless, McClellan) combined to hit 22-of-44 (.500) from the floor and finished with 52 of the teamˇ?s 68 points.? The downside:? the UA bench contributed just 16 points and 11 rebounds to the cause.
Honorably Mentioned: ? The Associated Press released its preseason top 25 (at left) and the list of preseason All-Americans on Nov. 5.? Wildcat sophomore Chase Budinger was an honorable mention selection after averaging 15.6 points and 5.8 rebounds a year ago.? He is the first UA player to be recognized in the preseason by the Associated Press since Channing Frye in 2004-05.
Preseason KUDOS: ? Two Arizona players have garnered a few preseason accolades, as Chase Budinger and Jerryd Bayless have found themselves included on a few lists to watch.? Budinger has been tabbed a preseason All-American by both collegeinsider.com and collegehoops.net and heˇ?s also on both the John R. Wooden and Naismith Awards preseason watch list.? Bayless was a second team all-freshman pick by collegehoops.com.
An Educated Guess: ? According to media members that regularly cover the Pacific-10 Conference, Arizona was picked to finish fourth in this yearˇ?s Pac-10 race.? Arizona received 238 points, trailing UCLA, Washington State and Oregon. The last time UA was predicted to finish this low was in the 2001-02 preseason poll.? On a historical note, the Wildcats have been the preseason favorite 11 times in the last 18 years.? The complete poll is listed on the next page.
Springboard to the Next Level: ? With the 2007-08 National Basketball Association regular season underway, no fewer than 10 former Arizona Wildcats are on the opening day NBA rosters.? Only three schools nationally have more alumni in the league (Connecticut, 13; North Carolina, 12; Duke, 12).? Here is the complete list:? Gilbert Arenas, Washington Wizards; Mike Bibby, Sacramento Kings; Channing Frye, Portland TrailBlazers; Andre Iguodala, Philadelphia 76ers; Richard Jefferson, New Jersey Nets; Mustafa Shakur, Sacramento Kings; Damon Stoudamire, Memphis Grizzlies; Salim Stoudamire, Atlanta Hawks; Jason Terry, Dallas Mavericks; and Luke Walton, Los Angeles Lakers.? There have been at least 10 former Wildcats in the NBA in six of the last eight seasons and no fewer than eight during that span.
More on the NBA: ? Bolstered by UAˇ?s 10 alumni in the NBA, the Pac-10 Conference had a total of 45 former players on opening day rosters, a figure that ranks third among conferences nationally.? Here is the breakdown by league:? 1.) Atlantic Coast and Big East, 54; 3.) Pac-10, 45; 4.) Southeastern, 41; 5.) Big 12, 35; and 6.)? Big Ten, 33.
Up Next: ? The Wildcats open the regular season on Tuesday, Nov. 13, vs. Northern Arizona.? Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. MST and will be carried live by FSN Arizona.

Dolph Lundgren has admitted that he enjoyed working with Sylvester Stallone on the sets of 'The Expendables'.
Stallone handed Lundgren his breakthrough role in 1985""s Rocky IV – which he wrote, starred in and directed.
And Lundgren, who played huge Russian boxer Ivan Drago in the film, admitted his old pal was much easier to work for two decades later – because the tough guy filmmaker had more patience on the set of his latest release.
"How has Sylvester changed? I think as a director he""s a little more thoughtful I""d say, a little more mellow maybe. So he kind of talks to the actors a little more about their scenes and their performances. I thought that was kind of nice, at least for me. He really took his time and I think that really helped in the picture, too," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

Briggs gets a cracker if he can name one comic besides NFL Superpro
The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (colloquially known as C2E2) is less than two weeks away. With the event so quickly approaching, new reasons to attend are cropping up almost daily. For instance, in addition to an impenetrable wall of B.O., you can look forward to the following:
Oh man, check out all of the Star War things going on at C2E2. In honor of Star War Celebration V happening in Orlando in a few months, C2E2 will be providing autographs, collectible t-shirts and a pavilion! Contained in said pavilion will be a selection of human actors known for portraying ancient alien beings such as:
Amy Allen AKA Attractive Blue Lightsword Lady
Carrie Fisher AKA Princess Vespa
Daniel Logan AKA Future Jetpacked Murderer as Child
Peter Mayhew AKA Snuffleupagus
Ray Park AKA Dark Maul
Orli Shoshan AKA Tim Burton Tentacled Lightsword Lady
You know about this Kick-Ass movie coming out, right? Apparently it was based on a comic book. As such, Kick-Ass will have a special red carpet premiere with celebrities and everything in Chicago on the fifteenth of this month - the day before C2E2 opens. Tickets and details will be made available on the C2E2 site soon. Additionally, there will be a special signing with unspecified Kick-Ass cast members on the sixteenth - the day C2E2 opens. Again, you'll have to wait for those details.
Finally, five-time Pro Bowl player and Co-Defensive Captain of the Chicago Bears sportsball team Mr. Lance Briggs will be attending C2E2 and participating in a number of events including auctions and signings. Because if there's one thing comic nerds love, it's professional athletes.

Sad that 4.0 has yet to arrive. Glad that they continue to do these minor upgrades. Lightroom is still better for overall processing, but Aperture is necessary if you are a hobbyist, like me, that utilizes Apple's full ecosystem.

"The bad news is that depending on where you buy it, the MB-D12 will cost you between $450-616, and that's not including the cost of an additional EN-EL15 battery (necessary for the speed boost in DX format)."
Barney, you actually need to use AA batteries or D4 battery to get the DX 6fps speed boost.

Baby Named Wrigley Fields Born to Chicago Cubs Fans
|September 24, 2007
If you're a Cubs fan, you'll be pleased to know that a Cub-loving couple with the surname Fields recently named their baby boy Wrigley.
Wrigley Alexander Fields was welcomed by parents Paul and Teri Fields of Michigan City, Indiana on September 12. His name pays tribute to the Wrigley Fields ballpark, where the Chicago Cubs have played since the early 1900s.
Here's a quote from the article:
Cubs spokeswoman Katelyn Thrall said the name may be a first. The team has no record of other children named Wrigley, although there have been some children names Zambrano and Ryne after Cubs stars Carlos Zambrano and Ryne Sandberg.
Wrigley Fields was named for William Wrigley, Jr. of Wrigley's Spearmint Gum fame. His surname can be traced back to two Old English words meaning "river bend" and "clearing" — essentially, "clearing by the river bend."
The name Wrigley might be a little daring for most parents, but I have no doubt that ballpark baby names like Camden, Chase, Miller, and Turner have been bestowed before.
I hope the Cubs let the Fields family attend a free game or two before the season ends!

Wrigley is not as unique as you think….Our son Wrigley AAron Little is 2 1/2 and I spoke the same spokeswoman at Wrigley Field and she said the are several others. I think Wrigley Field marketing should take advantage of these well named children. If you have ever been to the Stadium you will understand why these people including my husband and I are naming our children Wrigley!
I've never been to the stadium, but I hope to get there one day. (Ironically I'm in Chicago right now, but the Cubs won't be back until Saturday.)
P.S. Good luck vs. the D'backs tonight!
I just had a baby this past July and we named her Scarlett Wrigley. We discussed Wrigley as a first name but in the end she came out looking like a Scarlett. We loved the name Wrigley for not many people have that in a name so it makes her different. I wanted Wrigley for I couldn't name my daughter after my grandfather so I came up with the next best thing, my fond memories of us being Cubs fans.
My daughter is named Addison, which is actually a fairly common name now thanks to that stupid "Grey's Anatomy" show (unfortunately). She was born while I was deployed to Iraq, which gave me enough credit to get that name past my wife. My youngest sister has a daughter she named Samantha ("Sammy") Grace. My wife is pregnant and I have been pushing for "Clark Waveland" if this next child is a boy. I might have to deploy again to get that, though…
I'm from Michigan City originally, by the way, but live in Texas now.
My daughter is Wrigley Nicole… She was born 11-26-2008
I have 4 kiddos and one on the way….but 3 of them are named…
Wrigley Nicole, Addison Claire and Clark (still need middle name!) ;)
