TEMPE, Ariz. - Starting sophomore left-hander Ryan Kellogg allowed one run across eight innings to power the 25th-ranked Arizona State University baseball team to its fourth consecutive Pac-12 series win with a 4-1 victory over Cal on Saturday night at Packard Stadium in Tempe, Ariz.
Kellogg tied his career-long outing at Packard Stadium as the Sun Devils (19-13, 9-5) have won eight of their past 10 Pac-12 Conference games. He retired six straight batters in the third and fourth innings, and again in the seventh and eighth innings, and stranded three runners at third base. He struck out five and issued just one walk to go with five hits.
Head coach Tim Esmay earned his 400th career win, including his 187th at ASU and 80th Pac-10/12 Conference victory, the most by any coach in school history through their first five seasons.
Junior first baseman Nate Causey put the Devils on the scoreboard with a solo home run, his first of the season, in the bottom of the opening frame and ASU added one run in the sixth and two in the eighth.
Sophomore right-hander Jordan Aboites (1) recorded his first career save after he worked out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the top of the ninth. Freshman shortstop Colby Woodmansee made an over-the-shoulder catch in shallow left field to record the first out and Aboites induced a game-ending double play to secure the win.
The Bears (14-17, 3-8) threatened to take an early lead in the top of the first inning, but redshirt junior right fielder Trever Allen threw out Cal right fielder Brian Celsi at the plate to end the frame. Celsi was hit by a pitch and stole second before he attempted to take two bases on a two-out single by first baseman Nick Halamandaris.
A pair of singles and an RBI groundout by Cal third baseman Chris Paul knotted the game at one run apiece in the top of the fifth inning.
Sophomore third baseman Dalton DiNatale led off the sixth inning with a triple to right field and scored four batters later on a sacrifice fly by Woodmansee to put ASU back on top, 2-1.
ASU added two runs in the bottom of the eighth to extend their advantage to three, 4-1. Freshman catcher Brian Serven scored on a wild pitch and junior left fielder Jake Peevyhouse scored on a fielder's choice by sophomore center fielder Johnny Sewald.
Cal starting left-hander Kyle Porter (4-3) allowed just two runs through six innings, but was chased with runners on second and third and one out in the bottom of the seventh. He was responsible for four runs on six hits and three walks and took the loss.
ASU moved to 114-59 all-time against Cal… the Devils are 11-4 all-time in series' against Cal and have won seven straight series' vs. the Bears…Allen now has 18 career outfield assists, including three this season.

NBA owners and players failed to reach a new labor deal after approximately seven hours of conversation on Saturday.
The length of the meeting was the longest since the lockout began on July 1.
The sides are expected to meet again on Monday - with less than one month remaining before the scheduled start of the regular season.
"We're still miles apart," union executive director Billy Hunter said. "There's a huge gap that I don't know if we're going to be able to close or not."
NBA commissioner David Stern did not announce any new cancellations on Saturday.
"Our desire would be to not cancel, and we had been hopeful that this weekend would be a broader marker, but for reasons which we understand, the players suggested that we resume on Monday, and we said 'fine,'" Stern said.
Owners are asking for a hard cap, while the players steadfastly wish to keep the current soft cap system in place.
The opening of training camps has been postponed and the first week of exhibition games canceled. Any more delays would make it unrealistic for a deal to be completed, an accelerated free agency period and an abbreviated training camp in order to start the season on time.

Amid overall declining auto sales in July, Ford increased profits by 10 percent.
Henry Day Ford, a local Salt Lake City dealer, is a microcosm of the reasons why Ford is known for increasing profits in murky markets: an array of timelessly stylish models and unparalleled service.
To competing automakers' surprise, on August 1st, ABC news reported from Detroit, Michigan, the spawning ground of America's greatest automobile manufacturer, that Ford, as the the motor city's crowning achievement, had increased sales in unlikely, yet consistent Ford fashion.
The Ford's F-series pickup is among the noteworthy contributors to this gain: it increased sales by five percent to 63,240 vehicles. Henry Day Ford has seen the same increase in demand for its F-series models, Utah's bestselling truck lineup.
Furthermore, Ford's SUV models imparted profits as well. The small SUV Escape model increased its sales by 19 percent to 26,558. Even more impressively, the Ford Explorer, debuting for Ford in 1990, increased its sales by 32 percent, selling nearly 17 thousand vehicles in July.
The Lincoln luxury brand, coupled with Ford, contributed to increased sales as well, chocking up a 14 percent increase. This can be, in large part, attributed to the MKC model SUV, a new gem of Ford's spangling dealerships nationwide.
Additionally, the Ford police interceptors increased sales in the public service sector by a resounding 64 percent.
Completing July with a total of 212,236 sold vehicles, Ford expects to further up the ante in August. Although the brand is well known for its longevity and enduring style, Ford is most accurately understood by each of the individual dealerships comprising its success.
Henry Day Ford continues to hold its post as one of Ford's many dealerships, enlivening the company's standard of incomparable style, service and customer benefit.

It gets better: after the screening, folks have a chance to experience an authentic lowcountry oyster roast – just like in the film (check out the trailer here.)
If you find yourself in Charleston this weekend we highly recommend this irresistible combo of a great film and delicious food. But, don't just take our word for it – The Charleston City Paper and charlestonscene.com had some petty nice things to say too. Actually…this may be reason enough for a road trip.

Terrace Theater, Charleston, SC
Film Screening – 4:15 pm ($10, part of block 1 of local shorts)
Oyster Roast – 6:00 pm ($20, right after the screening)

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) is generally doing fine today. The blue-chip index was up nearly 0.7% in early afternoon trading, and 24 of its 30 components show positive returns for the day. But there were six laggards, and among the worst of these was Intel (NASDAQ:INTC).
The microchip giant was trading down down 0.5%. The damage stems from a research note by heavyweight analyst house Morgan Stanley, which doesn't change the firm's underweight rating of Intel shares but paints a dire picture of some noncore operations at the chipmaker.
Intel designs baseband wireless chips for use in mobile devices. As part of last week's first-quarter report, the company disclosed a $3 billion operating loss in wireless products for fiscal 2013. Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore was flabbergasted by the size of this wireless damage, and argues that Intel would be better off without this money-losing distraction.
Moore doesn't even suggest spinning the wireless division out or selling it to a competitor. Instead, he wants Intel to simply stop working on baseband chips, winding the whole thing down entirely. Doing so would unlock a major benefit to Intel's margin structure, he asserted.
"If the company could reduce [operating expenses] by $2 billion, that would be additive to EPS by $0.29 per share, with relatively small revenue/gross margin impact," Moore said in his research note.
That would be a considerable improvement, adding 15% to Intel's full-year bottom line.
Of course, Moore is making a few assumptions that could use some discussion.
For one, it isn't obvious that Intel would save $2 billion a year by shuttering the wireless business. Much of the heavy investment directed into a brand new product line goes into the initial research, and there's no way to retroactively reduce the wireless R&D expenses in 2012 and 2013. Intel might get some value out of this bootstrapping investment by selling the wireless operation, or spinning it off as a stand-alone company, but just hitting the brakes at this point doesn't make sense.
Also, the wireless products are only getting started. Intel reported $156 million in sales for that division in the first quarter, making it the smallest of the company's newly defined segments. Shouldn't the new product line get some time to establish itself in the market? Shutting it down with barely one quarter in the books seems like a knee-jerk act of panic.
So I wouldn't put too much stock in this Morgan Stanley analysis. It seems based on extreme short-term thinking, with little regard for Intel's long-term health. I'm certainly not selling my personal stash of Intel shares based on this report.
Top dividend stocks for the next decade
Intel pays the third-richest dividend yield on the Dow today. But dividend investing is more than just finding the fattest yields. The smartest investors know that dividend stocks simply crush their non-dividend paying counterparts over the long term. That's beyond dispute. They also know that a well-constructed dividend portfolio creates wealth steadily, while still allowing you to sleep like a baby. Knowing how valuable such a portfolio might be, our top analysts put together a report on a group of high-yielding stocks that should be in any income investor's portfolio.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, anything you'd like your readers to know:
Well, I'm a married mother of four. All girls! Yeah, puberty's going to be fun for me. I stay at home and take care of my girls and write. I love to drink, read, and watch my t.v. shows. I'm the biggest procrastinator you will know. I just lose all sense of motivation sometimes and need a good kick in the ass. Can I say that? Lol! I love all things fantasy and romance. I had never been out of the US until last May when my husband and I went on our first vacation together and we took a cruise. It was amazing! I want to move from bipolar Colorado to the ocean now.
What made you do decide to become an author?
Nothing really made me decide to do this. One day I received an email from my college stating that they wanted us to submit stories to them and that's when all of this started. I realized that with the language and certain events in the story it might not be suitable for a college newspaper, so I decided to try my hand at being an author. So far so good.
Who are your favorite authors, and how have they influenced your writing?
I love Nora Roberts! Her fantasy romance novels are amazing. I discovered Kristie Cook, and C K Bryant and loved them as well. Oh and I can't forget J K Rowling, but I really only like the Harry Potter series.
Where can we find you online?
Tell us about your book:
Which one? Lol Both books in my first series are NA Fantasy Romance books.
Book one in my series is about a girl named Sasha. She finds out she isn't human and the man of her dreams is real. It's a messed up kind of love story with lots of fantasy and twists in it. Book two follows starts off where book one abruptly ends. She is finally going to go to the world she came from and is finally going to meet her parents for the first time. There is love, drama, action and death all in book two. The ending is definitely a killer and leaves the reader wanting more and dying for the third book NOW.
Everyone has their idiosyncrasies, what's yours?
Lmao! Well…I spend a lot of time in my room, more than any other room in the house. I prefer it. I grew up having to be in my room 24/7, so it is my sanctuary. I feel safe and secure in it. Don't get me wrong, I do go into other rooms of the house. I just find myself coming back to my room more than any other person would probably.
What's your favorite book turned movie and why?
I would have to say Harry Potter. The books were amazing and suck you into their world while the movies actually let you see their world on screen. Although, I thought some parts of the books were left out of the movies, they did a wonderfully amazing job making them!
What's your favorite genre to read?
Fantasy Romance of course! I love to be swept away into a make believe world of magic, drama, and beautifully descripted lands/worlds.
Which do you do more, read or write, and why?
I like to think I do both about the same. I write and then when the creative juices aren't flowing so much I read. It helps get me back on track to getting my books done.
What is your writing process like, and what's your favorite part of it?
My writing process consists of me sprinting my butt off with my sprinting buddy and then playing video games, reading or watching some movies. Then writing some more. That is of course when my children and husband allow for it. A lot of what I write I dream about first. Although, the Elven Gods series is not done this way. However, my new book that I'm currently writing was done this way.

Underneath the Santa Monica Pier
Excerpt from The Reversal (photo credit: Wendy Werris) Bosch put the phone away and headed toward the pier. The wind was strong off the water and a fine mist of sand stung his face and eyes as he approached the huge structure. The pier was like a beached aircraft carrier. It was long and wide. It had a large parking lot and an assortment of restaurants and souvenir shops on top. At its midpoint it had a full amusement park with a rollercoaster and the signature Ferris wheel. And at its furthest extension into the sea it was a traditional fishing pier with a bait shop, management office and yet another restaurant. All of it supported on a thick forest of wood pilings that started landside and carried 700 feet out beyond the wave break and to the cold depths. Landside, the pilings were enclosed with a wooden siding that created a semi-secure storage facility for the city of Santa Monica. Only semi-secure for two reasons: The storage area was vulnerable to extreme high tides which came on rare occasion during offshore earthquakes. The pier also spanned a hundred yards of beach, which entailed anchoring the wood siding in moist sand. The wood was always in the process of rotting and was easily compromised. The result was that the storage facility had become an unofficial homeless shelter that had to be periodically cleared out by the city.

A cold front is sagging southeast into Ohio this afternoon and is already sparking scattered showers and thunderstorms. With favorable instability and wind shear in place, these storms are likely to turn severe. The highest risk will be southwest of Columbus, but severe weather is still possible across central Ohio as well.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 9 p.m. EDT for Columbus today. Strong damaging winds in excess of 60 mph and large hail will be the main threats. Some hail could exceed 1.50" in diameter in the strongest storms. An isolated tornado can also not be ruled out, but the threat is low today. In addition to the above severe threats, very heavy rainfall and lightning will be likely in nearly all storms.
The main timing for storms will be between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. this evening. Again, the highest threat will be southwest of Columbus as you go towards Cincinnati. But an isolated threat remains for Columbus as well. A few isolated storms could re-develop overnight as the actual cold front crosses the region.
Behind the cold front, temperatures will fall back into the lower and middle 70s for the remainder of the week. Absolutely gorgeous weather appears to be in the cards for the holiday weekend! Highs will near 80 degrees on Sunday and head for the middle 80s on Monday.
Going into next week, a ridge of high pressure will build northward in the jet stream bringing in very warm and humid air to the region making the first unofficial week of summer feel very much like summer! An isolated storm is possible on Memorial Day but better chances for storms will return after Monday for the middle of next week.

|Swim and Dive Excited to be Home
The Vandal Swimming and Diving team will make its way back to Moscow this weekend when they compete against Northern Colorado on Friday Oct. 18 and Washington State Saturday Oct. 19 at the UI Swim Center. The team is very excited to be swimming at home with Vandal fans cheering them on.
"We love racing in Moscow," Coach Mark Sowa said. "Historically this team has been great when we're here. They feed off the fans. I think it's a great facility for us to race in and the girls know it well. We're happy to be home."
These next couple days will be a tough test for the Vandals but coach Sowa says that the fans will help his team race well this weekend.
"I think these girls legitimately feed off the Vandal fans," Sowa said. "Vandal fans show up, they get excited by what we're doing and I think our girls are excited to represent them with some pride and conviction."
The two day format is nothing new to the team. Sowa says that this schedule will help them when it come to the WAC Championships in late February where the swimmers and divers compete for three days.
"They're used to doing two practices multiple times during the week," Sowa said. "These girls train 9 or 10 times during the week. They're used to doing that but it's a different stress. What's nice is the girls who will repeat the same event friday and saturday they have stuff to work on."
Sowa hopes that the immediate feedback from Friday's meet will help them on Saturday. The back to back meets will also give the coaches a chance to evaluate multiple positions during the weekend.
During Friday's meet against Northern Colorado the team will be wearing pink Speedo suits to promote their charity event on Nov. 3 called Breaststroke for Hope. The event will raise money for people suffering with breast cancer.The Northern Colorado meet start time is 5 p.m. on Friday and the WSU meet starts at 12p.m. on Saturday.

To honour its Detroit heritage, Chrysler has produced the new limited edition 2013 Chrysler 300 Motown. The special model features chrome at the front and rear and a custom grille. Motown badges on the front wings mark the car out from the standard Chrysler 300, and buyer can go a step further to distinguish the limited run car by choosing the new Jazz Blue exterior colour option.
White Nappa leather trim with black stitching contrasts the interior with the exterior, and in keeping with the theme, 100 tracks from Motown recording artists are loaded into the car's Uconnect audio system and played through a 10 speaker stereo.
As you'd probably expect, the Motown will be presented at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show in January.

I wish the company were coming back to the States in greater numbers, but I guess I'll have to live with seeing some of the 1000-odd 4C here on the streets of Los Angeles.

Just wondering if everyone else will be adding the baby to the holiday card signature?
Love, Jim, Melissa, Jimmy, Luke and Baby (last name) due may 2013
Camden David 12/2008
Sawyer Stuart 4/2011
Declan Kevin 6/2013
No, the baby isn't here and certainly isn't wishing people a Merry Christmas. I would just feel like it's jumping the gun a little.

A small-town battle over bottled water is the subject of "Divide in Concord," a self-funded documentary that has its world premiere Saturday during Toronto's annual Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.
Jean Hill is an 85-year-old citizen of Concord, Massachusetts who, in 2010 and 2011, presented a bylaw to the town council that would ban the sale of water in plastic bottles. She did so after learning from her grandson the disastrous effects the empty bottles have on the environment.
While her proposals were defeated, Hill started a rowdy debate that gained national attention and inspired the documentary. What began as a town hall discussion about plastic bottle usage led to a clash of ideals over personal freedom. Local resident and present-day Boston Herald columnist Adriana Cohen drew media attention to the cause and soon the heavy guns of The International Bottled Water Association were involved.
The filmmakers steer clear of endorsing either side of the argument but give historical significance to Hill's passionate campaign in a town famous as the home of both the American Revolution and Henry David Thoreau. Many Hill supporters considered her bylaw revolutionary and symbolic of the town's history. War re-enactors are featured prominently in the film, as are several Concord residents, local merchants, the Town Moderator, Town Manager and a Thoreau scholar.
Among those attending the premiere will be director Kris Kaczor, founder of Brooklyn-based 750 Productions and director/editor of several documentaries, acclaimed shorts, national ads, music videos and fringe video art. "Divide in Concord" is his first film to be shown at Hot Docs.
"Hot Docs is one of the world's most respected documentary film festivals, and we are honored to have found the perfect home for our world premiere," said Kaczor when asked to comment about participation in Hot Docs. "We feel our story is one that should be heard by a large population and the passion and hard work done by the festival has clearly become a shepherd for this goal."
Kaczor considers Hot Docs as a suitable launching pad for "Divide in Concord," one that will give the film the life it deserves.
Visit Hot Docs for screening schedule and ticket availability.
The festival continues until May 4.
See you at the movies.

Ten Crack Commandments Removed from New York Courthouse After Being Ruled Unconstitutional
BROOKLYN – In a stunning affirmation of federal supremacy, the Supreme Court has ruled 8-1 that the Ten Crack Commandments must be removed from a Brooklyn courthouse.
The Commandments were erected in 1997 at the insistence of residents who wanted to preserve the memory of the Notorious B.I.G's famed contributions to jurisprudence.
The inscription was long viewed as a hyper conservative challenge to Tupac Shakur's classic celebration of the Amendment process, "Changes."
Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, summarized his arguments: "While the validity and truth of the crack commandments are not in question, we believe that an implicit challenge to the Bill of Rights justifies removal, especially in the case of the third commandment: 'ne'er trust nobody.'"
"Furthermore, the use of the Ten Crack Commandments sends an improperly partisan message," noted Roberts. "The 1st Commandment? 'Never let no one know/ How much dough you hold cause you know/ The cheddar breed jealousy 'specially/ If that man fucked up, get yo' ass stuck up.' I can't think of a clearer expression of the Republican position."
Justice Antonin Scalia, the lone dissenter, wrote: "James Madison was the illest most fucked up founding father and he woulda loved this shit. East Coast, mothafucka. Pro-life fo' life."
As a result of the decision, the courthouse will soon be adorned with a bipartisan message: the complete lyrics to the Beastie Boys' "Fight For Your Right To Party."

Holiday Gift Ideas (2001)
Posted on December 01, 2001
by Eleanor Farrell
When Father Christmas kicks up production at the North Pole in anticipation for the holidays, Polar Bear makes sure he has the latest edition of the Red Catalogue of Westmarch so he can help out. In case the gnomes stole your copy of this handy reference, here are a few of Polar Bear's favorite gift ideas for fantasy fans of all ages.
Let's start with the obvious: with so many editions of The Lord of the Rings available on bookstore shelves, there's just no excuse for anyone to not have their very own copy! Suit tastes and budget with hardcover sets, one-volume editions, trade and mass market paperbacks. The upcoming films have also spawned tie-ins such as The Lord of the Rings Official Movie Guide by Brian Sibley and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Visual Companion by Jude Fisher. The former has more background information on the films; the latter is more a glossary for younger readers.
There is other fiction out there, both classic and modern. A new edition of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass features seventy pen-and-ink illustrations by Mervyn Peake, drawn in the 1940s and meticulously reproduced here. The Treasury of the Fantastic: Romanticism to Early Twentieth Century Literature, edited by David Sandner and Jacob Weisman and published by Tales from Earthsea and a novel, The Other Wind). Other books of note include Declare, an ambitiously mythopoeic novel by Tim Powers, and the ever-popular Neil Gaiman's latest, American Gods. The Society's Mythopoeic Fantasy Award winners and finalists are always a good bet – this year's honors for fiction went to Midori Snyder's The Innamorati and Dia Calhoun's Aria of the Sea. Past award winners and finalists are listed on our web site.
In the non-fiction category, here again our Mythopoeic Scholarship Award honorees are worth a look: J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century by Tom Shippey and King Arthur in America by Alan Lupack and Barbara Tepa Lupack (with a new Fall 2001 tp edition) are recent winners. Finally, a gorgeous new coffee-table book from Collectors Press, Fantasy of the 20th Century by Randy Broecker, presents an overview of the genre with multitudinous color illustrations of pulp magazine and book covers, movie posters, and other artwork.
Mythcon favorites Brocelïande have a new CD released just in time for the holidays. Sir Christèmas includes the group's arrangements of such traditional seasonal songs as "The Boar's Head Carol", "Away in a Manger." and "Carol of the Birds," plus a selection of lesser-known vocal and instrumental pieces, all of which demonstrate the group's usual musical virtuosity. The CD is priced at $17.50 and can be ordered from the Flowinglass Music web site. Film fans may be interested in soundtrack CDs from the Harry Potter movie (score by John Williams) or The Fellowship of the Ring (score by Howard Shore, including two new songs from Enya). For a very comprehensive (and eclectic!) listing of Tolkien-inspired music, check out Society member Chris Seeman's ongoing project at The Tolkien Music List web site.
The new release of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace is being touted as the ultimate DVD package; with several documentary featurettes, deleted scenes, audio commentary and photo galleries, there should be plenty of material to satisfy fans. Somewhat less testosterone-driven, the recent TNT miniseries of Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon will be available on DVD — with additional scenes, galleries, and a "Camelot Characters Family Tree" (!) — on December 11th.
However, even more intriguing is the new Monty Python and the Holy Grail Special Edition DVD, which offers subtitles (taken from Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part II) for people who don't like the film, an exciting "Follow the Killer Rabbit" feature, mindless sing-alongs, and mystery items for the mentally challenged.
Aside: this really belongs in the "ephemera" category, but the new Holy Grail DVD reminds me that toy building blocks are great gifts for encouraging fantasy creativity, as evidenced by a short film which recreates the "Camelot" song and dance number from the film, done entirely in Legos. It can be viewed on the Lego web site and is also included on the new DVD.
Harper Entertainment's annual Tolkien 2002 Calendar, featuring artwork by Ted Nasmith, was reviewed in the November issue of Mythprint. Also available for 2002, several calendar choices with photos from the New Line Cinema film. The Lord of the Rings 2001-2002 Student Planner Calendar: The Fellowship of the Ring offers a particularly nice selection of stills from the movie.
Mathoms, we've got mathoms! Toystore shelves are packed solid with action figures, snow globes, stuffed toys, mugs, you-name-it, from the fall fantasy film crop — Monsters, Inc., Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, The Fellowship of the Ring. Harry Potter tree ornaments are SO last year, but you can outfit your young fans in stylish Harry Potter socks, some of which, sporting a Hogwarts emblem, are actually tasteful. The holiday evergreen décor du jour is a selection of Lord of the Rings ornaments from Dept. 56 featuring several of the story's characters (in resin) and a selection of blown glass edifices. (Still disappointed that the Death Star never appeared as a tree ornament, I'd opt for a dangling Orthanc facsimile. The "Rivendell" ornament is shown in the photo.) By 2003, we'll be able to completely recreate Middle-earth in miniature underneath our holiday trees – perhaps with wind-up mûmakil or a spring-triggered Grond!
Even someone whose work attire is "tie required" can express their literary interests with a tasteful "Author! Author!" tie from Bas Bleu featuring signatures from such luminary writers as John Milton, Rudyard Kipling T.S. Eliot, etc., etc. (These look particularly good with Godzilla socks.) I don't think the Inklings are included on this particular pattern, but I'll just bet there are LOTR movie "tie"-ins available somewhere ….
A membership to the 2002 Mythopoeic Conference (in Boulder, Colorado) makes a dandy gift, or think further ahead and support the 2005 Tolkien Conference (in Birmingham, England). Registration fees to both conferences will go up after December 31st, so it's a great time to sign up. Don't forget the Mythopoeic Society's periodicals, and our growing list of Mythopoeic Press books; all of these can be ordered through the Society's web site (and can be purchased with a Discover card or by using PayPal). Please, if you order gifts from Amazon.com, support the Society by using our web links; it brings us a small commission which helps pay some of our expenses.
Go Outside and Play!
Spread good fellowship — it's really needed this year. Take your family to a seasonal play or concert, or dress up and check out the local Dickens Faire equivalent. Go see one of those movies based on popular fantasy novels. Invite your friends to tea and serve home-made lembas wrapped in leaf-shaped tissue paper. Build a fire (preferably in a fireplace) and read your favorite book passages or poems aloud. However you choose to spend the holidays, be sure to reach out to everyone you cherish.

Secrets of Success
It's Been a While--Kind of a long post
Monday, April 29, 2013
Looking back I see that my last blog was over a month ago. My how time flies. Right ofter the last blog I had my 3 month check with my doctor for my diabetes. She just about cried she was so happy with my progress. I was proud and I bragged about every little thing I thought was significant. She and I just talked and celebrated for the whole appointment. I left feeling lighter than air.
In three months I had gone from an A1C of 11.7 to 6.3 anything under 6 is normal. I had also managed to lose 2 pounds despite being on insulin which they told me would add 10-15 pounds overnight. My triglycerides dropped 350 points, my total cholesterol came down about 60 points. She told me I was the superstar of the month for all her patients. She wished I could talk to all her diabetic patients about what I did and how small changes really add up. She even told me that she usually sees patients back in 3 months, but because I was doing so well, she didn't want to see me for 6 months As I was leaving, the doctor noticed I had an appointment with the dietician. She said "If they don't give you credit for the hard work you have done, you call me right away".
Needless to say, I saw my 6th different dietician in that department (I am told this is unusual because supposedly once you get assigned to one, you are theirs for life) and she wasn't impressed with my improvements. She went on for 30 minutes lecturing me about how I will lose my feet and my vision and there is nothing I can do about it. Diabetes will kill me, I may as well know what is coming. I was able to tune her out and I left sort of laughing because it was so ridiculous.
I really didn't think that the dietician got to me, but apparently she did. I slacked off on my good eating, didn't test my glucose and over the next three weeks to a month I gained 10 pounds. Since then I feel like I have given up. I know I can do better than this. I know I want to do better than this. That dietician should not have this much power over what I think of myself. I keep self-sabotaging myself. I even had a girl's night out and drank more than I ever do. (Three drinks that night as opposed to the one I sometimes have). I even ended up buzz -dialing, I really can't call it drunk-dialing, a former boss and quasi friend. Crazy!!! Nothing embarrassing happened. Thank God!
Today I had a great eating day, I even went out to dinner and stayed within my calorie range, but on the way home I stopped at a gas station because I NEEDED gummy bears. I don't even like them that much, but I knew I had to have them and I am sitting here blogging and blowing my eating day eating gummy bears. (Biting their heads off first, of course, LOL!)
How do I break through? How do I get back to the feeling of power and confidence I had just a few weeks ago? I hope I am not sounding whiny. I am just so frustrated at doing the same things over and over again and not being able to figure out the key to getting everything together. I'll go now and try to get those dang gummy bears off my teeth. Thanks for listening.

Well, I would put a complaint about that dietician!
They are supposed to work with you, not against you!
Just go back to basics and focus on the positive,small things you did when you were so proud.
Take it one day at a time and in no time you will be back on a roll!

Linda, a big congrats to you on the wonderful results from the Dr. Your fate is NOT doomed. I hope you don't go back to that dietician. There's enough negative nellies in the world without paying money to see one. Since I had a backslide in April, I'm back to focusing on the small steps again. Now let's have a wonderful May and blossom in our great healthy bodies.

AArrgghhh! The disconnects in our healthcare system make me want to scream sometimes! First, KUDOS on your amazing progress! And kudos to your doc for celebrating with you--what an important things for her to do. That dietician, of course it affected you--you're human. But knowing you need to carry your strength forward is key. You did it, you have the wisdom--use it! You so have this.

I hope you tell your doctor about that dietician. You've let her have too much control though. You are the one who succeeded and you can do it again. Start by thinking about that doctor appointment and all the things you talked about. Post those test results. Test your blood sugar and plan your meals. You did it before, you can do it again. Start now.

You say the dietician shouldn't have had this much power over your feelings but that is just exactly what someone else's words can do.
First off....I want to say that what you did initially and the responce your Dr. gave you is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!! And you know you CAN do it!
So, here's the thing. Take those words your Dr. had for you and take them along with those fantastic lab results. Print them up in bold print and put them somewhere they will be visible to you every day. Affirm that YOU are the reason you had those results. And then...do it again...you know you can. Put that dietician in the forget about it category...( I do hope you told your Dr about her though).

X-Men (NES) review
"Then there are the enemy formations, always designed so that you're cornered and bounced around from foe to foe, or into the lethal toilets or lava pits. And sometimes, when all you need is an invulnerability icon to proceed, the game will give you nothing for minutes at a time. Then it will shower you with them once you die and resume your mission as a new mutant. I can almost hear the bitter developers laughing at me from beyond the television screen whenever I play this game."

Olympic Figure skating had the fans around the world tuning in to watch the final performances in Sochi. The athletes of the world had one more time to prove themselves in the free skate competition before the medals were handed out. Fans in San Jose, California as well as the United States were watching intently as Polina Edmunds took the ice. According to the official scoreboard of the Sochi Olympics she scored 122.21 for the program with the total of the two nights being, 183.25 which was her personal best score. According to the San Jose Mercury News it was a strong Olympic debut.
While the fans watched her intense performance, it was the moment that Polina fell on the ice that had people gasping. According to the NBC Olympic commentators, this was the same segment in the program that Polina fell in previous performances.
Polina Edmunds definitely made America proud. Taking the ice and giving her best, both programs she skated was impressive. As everyone knows she won't be taking home a medal in Sochi, but the future might bring Edmunds the gold. The athletes needs more practice and more time to deal with pressure of having millions of people watch her perform.
America can definitely suggest that Polina Edmunds did her best and everyone is super impressed on how this young skater competed in Sochi.

If you care to answer, why did you make the decision to or not to circ your son? thank you for any answers :)
Is your son circumcised? POLL
There are over 250,000 men that are restoring their foreskins because they want to reverse their parents decision. My husband is one. He says the difference is night and day. Also I'm not sure if people know that 85% of the men in the world are not circumcised, only 15% are. In the United States 70% of baby boys are no longer being circumcised, only 30% are and that number gets smaller each year as more and more parents are informed about the benefits of having a foreskin.
ReneeJane, pro-circers always claim that as a reason to circ. "It protects against STD's" but you just debunked a myth from your own side of the fence so kudos.
DEATH is one of the many risks of circumcision.
CDing, BSing, ERFing, SAHM to a whole DS (8/10) and 2 little ladies (8/04) and (4/06) diamond (.y.)
Circumcision is not a requirement and definitely not necessary. Why not read up on taking care of an intact (uncircumcised) penis. It's really easy, no care really and your baby is saved the pain of being cut. Only about 1 in 500 adult men who are not circumcised choose circumcision later in life. Most have NO problems. Proper hygiene is all that is needed. I urge you to read up on what circumcision really is and why even the American Academy Of Pediatrics doesn't even recommend circumcision. They say "the potential benefits are not sufficient enough to recommend routine infant circumcision". They are a reputable agency we get a lot information about children from and even they don't say baby boys should be circumcised.
And the statistics now are only 50% of American boys are circumcised. The numbers are falling. So it's more than likely he won't be the only boy not circumcised in high school.
The risks are big too, including infection, blood loss and death.
And if your doc gives you the advice to retract his foreskin that is FALSE. that is an old practice.
Please look at these links.
Proper care of an intact uncircumcised penis
Common circ complications that last far beyond the initial surgery
More circ complications WITH scientific studies to back them up.
General info
Functions of the foreskin - it's there for a reason
Circumcision facts - like 117 boys die each year from blood loss and infection directly related to circ.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after circumcision
Deborah ~ RN
So even though I am against it I think fear mongering to convice ppl to not circ is not effective.
So even though I am against it I think fear mongering to convice ppl to not circ is not effective.
Oh but it is so much fun!
In all seriousness I think the main reason that I regret it is bc LO did and still does have issues, if his issues would have never happened I probably would not have questioned it. Like I said I really have no opinion and no judgement towards those who do circ, that is your parental right. :)
No I did not allow them to cut my son for no reason what-so-ever. There was nothing evident other than society's viewpoint on reasons why, so I glady decided to keep my healthy baby boy intact the way he was born and not put him through such a trama experience especially when he just experience entering into this new world. His father never had it done and he is 100% fine, no complaints here.
yes, Brit, I might feel very differently about it if my son had had a complication. But, he didn't. My OB did the circ, and she also did a fabulous job on my C-section. I don't have a visible scar. And, I scar easily, because all my stretch marks have turned into white scars.
I never wanted it done in the first place, because it did seem unnecessary, but dh was and still is dramatically adament. He had an adult circumcision and that was what made his mind up.
Out Of The Mindless Void: Finding My Mantra
Just wanted to mention, that circumcision complications don't usually show up until the boy/man becomes sexually active. So until that time, no one really knows if something will be wrong. And even then the boy/man is most likely not going to sit down and chat with you about problems he is having with his penis.

|Canadian Show Jumping Team Announced for Spanish Tour
|| Print |
August 3, 2010 — Eric Lamaze, Chris Pratt, Jenna Thompson and Keean White will represent the Canadian Show Jumping Team at CSI05* Gijon, ESP, from August 31–September 5, and the Promotional League Nations' Cup Final at CSIO5* Barcelona, ESP, from Sept 14-19.
The Spanish tour is made possible through the Own the Podium program, a national sport technical initiative designed to help Canada's summer and winter athletes achieve podium success at the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The reigning Olympic champion, Eric Lamaze, 42, of Schomberg, ON, will ride two horses on the Spanish tour, choosing between Take Off, a 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare owned by Artisan Farms LLC; Atlete Van T Heike, a 10-year-old Belgian Warmblood mare owned by Stephex Stables; Ronaldo, a 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Ashland Stables; and Coriana Van Klapscheut, an eight-year-old Belgian Warmblood mare owned by Artisan Farms LLC.
Chris Pratt, 41, of Belfountain, ON, will compete with Union, a nine-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by The Union Group LLC, and G5, a 14-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Indigo Farms and Susan Geliebter.
Jenna Thompson, 22, of Calgary, AB, made her Canadian Show Jumping Team debut last year at the Promotional League Nations' Cup Final at CSIO4* Barcelona, helping Canada to a second place finish. Thompson will again be riding Zeke, her 13-year-old Oldenburg gelding.
Keean White, 26, of Rockwood, ON, is the fourth member of the Canadian Team. He has nominated four horses, and will ride two, choosing between Celena Z, a nine-year-old Zangersheide mare owned by the Ashland Group and Angelstone Farms; Bethsabee, a nine-year-old Belgian Warmblood mare owned by Elm Rock LLC and Angelstone Farms; Chanel, an eight-year-old Belgian Warmblood mare owned by the Ashland Group and Angelstone Farms; and Whisper of Mazour, an 11-year-old Belgian Warmblood mare owned by Angelstone Farms. White was also a member of Canadian Show Jumping Team that competed in Spain last year.
"I'm excited to take a team to Europe this September for two stops," said Mark Laskin of Langley, BC, who will act as the Canadian Show Jumping Team chef d'équipe in Gijon and Barcelona, aided by stable manager Darrin Roberts. "Our team is an interesting mix of up-and-coming riders and experienced veterans. For the developing riders, it is a fantastic opportunity to represent their country at a CSIO Nations' Cup, and for the ones vying for a spot on our WEG team, it is an excellent chance to practice for the World Championships in Kentucky."
A Nations' Cup is the only competition in show jumping where riders, in teams of four, compete as a country. The top three scores from each team are counted towards the final result of the two-round competition.
There are only two Nations' Cup events held annually in North America – the $75,000 FEI Nations' Cup at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, FL, and the $350,000 BMO Nations' Cup at the Spruce Meadows 'Masters' Tournament in September. Canada's victory in the $75,000 FEI Nations' Cup in Wellington, FL, on March 5, 2010, qualified Canada for the Promotional League Final in CSIO5* Barcelona.
Complete details about the two competitions may be found at for CSIO5* Gijon at www.gijon.es/Contenido.aspx?id=13009&leng=en and www.csiobarcelona.com for CSIO5* Barcelona.

Reviews for Chicken Enchilada Casserole
"Not too spicy for those with sensitive taste."
"I made the following adjustments as well. I sauted my green pepper and onion in a smidge of olive oil and used 2 T butter as the roux base for the sauce mixed with 2 T flour instead of the 1/4 cup flour. Then I used half milk ( 2%) and half stock for the liquid to make the sauce a bit more creamy and smooth. I also used smoked cumin instead of coriander. Cut the sour cream to 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup too since I had a smooth base to start with anyway.To the chicken vegetable mixture I added some additional spice with a bit of fresh garlic and next time I will add some diced jalapeno to kick it up. My biggest complaint is that the corn tortillas I used cracked when rolled (yes I warmed them). It may have been the brand, I salvaged the stuffing - heated the tortillas until hot and steamy and then rolled them and they were fine.For cheese - next time I think I will use a blend of jalapeno jack or even some queso cheese.Certainly will make it again with the adjustments I noted."
"This was very bland! We had to cover it with salsa just to give it some flavor."
"wow, these enchiladas are terrific! that sauce is what really makes it, and I thought mine were the best, I have incorporated this recipe with my own, and boy-what a match"
"Very rich flavor. Worth the time tgo make the sauce rather than open a can of dull cream of whatever soup."

Cracks Movie Reviews
User reviews on Cracks
These kind of movies are my guilty pleasure. i do realize that this film was not that good but I love watching films about English boarding schools and watching the landscapes of that beautiful country. The film was wonderful visually and i just could not get enough of the beauty of that hilly island where the film was shot. The atmosphere of the film was created perfectly and I greatly enjoyed watching the girls live their lives in the school. i do have to admit that the film lacked a message and a purpose, but i still had a really good time watching it. I do have to say that it is probably better to rent this film instead of seeing it in the theaters.
I felt that the film was incomplete and I wanted much more than it had to offer. I think the story was not told the whole way and the pieces of the story never came together. The film also did not feel original or interesting, it seemed that a lot of details were borrowed from other movies and that is just sad. The min idea of the film is supposed to be that desire is the most important thing in life, I think that the director should have listened to his idea and had a desire to create a good film. the only good thing I have to say about this film is that a great atmosphere was created. I could feel the longing and the cinematography was great as well. In conclusion, I do not recommend seeing this film in the theaters because you will be bored the whole time.

Hungary Not Part of Russia-Ukraine Conflict, Premier Orban Says
BUDAPEST—Hungary's prime minister on Monday broke his silence regarding the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, downplaying its immediate significance for his nation.
"Hungary is not part of the conflict," Viktor Orban said, according to state newswire MTI.
Hungarians are safe in Hungary and they are also safe in Ukraine's Transcarpatia region, he said. The Hungarian government is working to ensure that remains so, he added.
Unlike many of his European peers, Hungary's combative prime minister had remained silent before Monday about the Ukraine crisis. Mr. Orban signed a contract with Russian President Vladimir Putin in January, getting a Russian company to expand Hungary's only nuclear plant in the town of Paks, with Moscow providing a massive loan to the country to finance the expansion.
Mr. Orban's silence about the issue before Monday led to criticism by the opposition over the weekend.
"Is he beholden to Putin and cannot speak up because of the Paksi nuclear deal? Is the 3 trillion forint-loan ($13.33 billion) Moscow offered to finance the construction is behind his silence?" said Attila Mesterhazy, head of the biggest opposition party the Socialists and the prime-minister candidate of an election coalition of leftist parties.
The agreement for the expansion of the Paksi nuclear power plant was part of Mr. Orban's policy of opening up to the East to reinforce trade, business and education ties with various countries in Asia and the Far East. Following the deal, a Hungarian official said Budapest is enjoying "an increasingly enjoyable" business relationship with Moscow.
Mr. Orban's foreign minister, Janos Martonyi, on Saturday visited ethnic Hungarians living across the border in Ukraine. Mr. Martonyi said Hungary is deeply concerned over the Crimea situation, will take all necessary measures, and hopes steps failing to meet international accords won't continue.
The foreign ministry issued a statement referring to a 1994 Budapest memorandum between Russia, the UK and the U.S., guaranteeing Ukraine's territorial sovereignty.
Mr. Martonyi was in Brussels on Monday and Hungary was part of an international effort "aimed at peace, security and respect of international law under Europe's unified crisis management," Mr. Orban said.
He said his message to ethnic Hungarians in Ukraine was: "They can count on us."
Ethnic Hungarians living in Ukraine number some 150,000, the latest census shows.
Enjoying a comfortable lead among voters according to the latest polls, Mr. Orban's governing Fidesz party is poised to win the elections and get a second consecutive term at the helm of the country for the next four years.

LexisNexis Launches InterAction 6.0 for Microsoft Outlook
Enhanced Integration with Microsoft Outlook Enables Users to Access Firm-Wide CRM Data without Need to Launch and Learn Separate Application
NEW YORK - December 15, 2010 - LexisNexis, a leading global provider of content-enabled workflow solutions, today announced the launch of InterAction® 6.0 with enhanced Microsoft Outlook integration. LexisNexis® InterAction 6.0 software embeds features and functions of InterAction®, a leading Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application for professional services, directly within Microsoft Outlook. This integration enables users to view, access and leverage firm-wide CRM data all from within one's individual Outlook application - making it easier for lawyers and other professional services firms to build stronger client relationships and drive business development efforts.
"At Blank Rome we have 1,150 InterAction users, and CRM drives marketing, business development and more throughout the firm. We're always pushing for newer, improved functionality to keep adoption high while simplifying usability," said Brad Miller, director of marketing technology with Blank Rome, LLP. "Being invited to preview InterAction 6.0 and contribute our firm's needs in advance of its release fits our definition of a technology partner. We're eager to upgrade and reap the benefits firm-wide of a simplified InterAction interface within Microsoft Outlook."
"InterAction 6.0 is the result of exhaustive customer research and feedback indicating the need for a CRM system that is easier to use and doesn't interrupt the normal workflow of executives," said Brad Sidwell, vice president and general manager, LexisNexis. "InterAction 6.0 accomplishes this by delivering the tools and benefits of the world's most powerful CRM system directly into a popular desktop application that professionals already know and use daily."
In addition to collecting customer feedback, LexisNexis also conducted a survey of 80 senior IT professionals at the 2010 International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) conference earlier this year. A full 94 percent of those surveyed said that integrating specialized CRM capabilities directly within e-mail and contact management applications would enable efficient information capture and increase usage of CRM data.
Benefits of InterAction 6.0
Users will have easier access to their firm's InterAction CRM data directly within the e-mail, calendar and contact functions of Microsoft Outlook. Key benefits include:
More complete understanding of client interactions.
The "Add Activities" feature allows users to log contact "events" (emails, notes, calendar items etc.) directly from within Outlook to the InterAction database where that information can be seen and accessed by colleagues via their own Microsoft Outlook account. This feature gives others in the firm a more complete and up-to-date understanding of firm-wide interactions with a given contact to ensure coordination of efforts and help avoid potentially embarrassing situations.
Time savings.
An InterAction toolbar will appear inside a new panel displayed within Outlook that enables users to hover their mouse over a toolbar to surface contact information, identify mutual relationships, see upcoming meetings or activities, view organization or information changes and browse notes summarizing previous interactions with any recipients of the e-mail. Because each of these functions is performed within Outlook, users avoid the time consuming need to go back and forth between Outlook and InterAction.
Valuable insights.
When researching a contact, the "Mutual Connections" feature enables users to see who among their firm already knows and has interacted with that contact before - all from within Outlook. This gives the user valuable insight into who might be able to make an introduction or provide additional background information on the contact.
Easy searching.
The search field function enables users to quickly search for contact details about clients and prospects shared by others across the firm without leaving one's e-mail inbox.

Harold Camping Finally Admits Not Knowing When the Rapture Will Come
He predicted it twice last year, was clearly wrong.
"Yes, we humbly acknowledge we were wrong about the timing […] We must also openly acknowledge that we have no new evidence pointing to another date for the end of the world." —From a message posted on the website of Family Radio by its octogenarian founder and frequent Judgment Day prognosticator Harold Camping. Last year, Camping predicted first May 21 and then October 21 as the day the world would end.

As school draws to a close and summer begins college bound students prepare to enter the adult world away from family and friends in the fall. CollegeView.com staff writer, Hannah Purnell penned Ten Things Every College Student Should Know in their freshman year from an academic perspective.
It's also a season church family's "wrap their arms around high-school graduates one last time before they're sent off to face the future," writes compiler Christi Brooks. She invited authors to "put fingers to keyboards" with words of wisdom and encouragement from a Christian perspective for "graduates they will never meet."
Among them were three authors from Washington State, Bronwyn Worthington, Spokane, Heather Alexander, Olympia and Lydia Harris from Seattle who have one or more devotions in Rise: 32 Weeks of College Devotions.
One of Bronwyn's devotions features the blessings of friendship developed and refined through the shared challenges, successes and failures of college life. Such close friendships, she writes, equip students to carry one another's burdens like Galatians 6:2 advises. Whether studying for tests, struggling with depression over the loss of a relationship or helping a friend recover, friendships deepen and strengthen as "the cup of suffering" is shared.
Heather's devotion, "Sweet Selfishness," made me pause until I understood she meant for college students to "focus on God's plan for their lives," and not be enticed by friends distractions and suggested detours. That's one of the rare instances selfishness is a good attribute. Instead she encourages undergrads to stay focused on the Lord and His plan for their life. Proverbs 3: 5-6.
Lydia's "College Game Plan," from Jeremiah 33:3 targets college freshmen and women. "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." The devotion begins, "Study as if you didn't pray, and pray as if you didn't study." She found that "winning combination" equipped her to become an honors graduate with advanced degrees. Her "tip sheet" for before, during and after exams along with prayer suggestions for study times is simple and easy to implement.
An author's index and author biographies complete the book with author contact information. Not only do I recommend the book because the readings speak to so many issues first-time college students face, I purchased copies for my college-age granddaughters. If you would like to connect with or ask questions of the authors contact them on FaceBook
