Sex position with a girl while giving her a backwards Full Nelson as to not see her face or to keep her quiet and for a good hold.

Bishop Barron's Evolving Tolerance
Intervening on the Douthat controversy, Bishop Robert Barron has urged his fellow Catholics to recognize that the Church has always been a place of great controversy--and pleads with us all for more engagement with and tolerance of each other's ideas. In an essay entitled, "Ross Douthat and the Catholic Academy," he writes: "The letter to the Times is indicative indeed of a much wider problem in our intellectual culture, namely, the tendency to avoid real argument and to censor wha
Frank Brennan, SJ, on "Why the Pope is not an Anti-Capitalist Greenie"
The distinguished Australian Jesuit Frank Brennan, SJ (whom Boston College had the pleasure of hosting during the academic year 2014-2015 as its Gasson Professor) has written a very insightful piece on the pope, the synod, and the letter from the twelve bishops. What I found particularly useful was his situating that letter in the context of past synods.
"A Lay Woman Reads Humanae Vitae" by Holly Wiegman
There are many acomplished and faith-filled Catholic women writing about how adherence to Church teaching against contraception enhances their faith and family lives. But we didn't hear as much from practicing Catholics who use contraception about how their choices affects their faith and family lives. In my view, the lack of such voices leads to an unbalanced conversation, since the vast majority of married Catholics do in fact choose to use artificial birth control.
Holly Wiegman's essay, which you will find below, helps remedy the lack of conversational balance. She is a freelance writer who lives with her husband in New York. Active in her local parish, she cherishes the rich traditions and diverse community of the Catholic Church.
A Lay Woman Reads Humanae Vitae
Holly Wiegman
The issue of birth control no longer affects my husband and me: at 52 years old I have officially entered my menopausal years. Yet I still remember with frustration the discussion I had with a priest a number of years ago. He stated that under certain circumstances abortion could be condoned, but that birth control never could be. He gave the example of a mother who has four children and becomes pregnant for the fifth time. If the pregnancy puts her life at risk, her death would have a great toll on the children already born as well as her husband. In such a case, the mother could choose to abort and be at peace with her decision. Having carried two children to term at that point, I realized how traumatic such a decision would be: how could any woman be at peace when choosing between her life and the life of her unborn child? So I asked the obvious question of why the woman could not use contraception to prevent pregnancy and thus never have to make such a devastating choice. The priest insisted that contraception was not okay under any circumstances. You mean, I pressed, that a woman in those circumstances should keep having abortions each time she conceives, rather than just prevent pregnancies? Yes, indeed. That is the formal response I received from this priest, who held an official post regarding ethics in my diocese at the time.
Doggie Day Care—the Pope, and Amy Schumer
Last spring, I got a puppy, whom I named Ziva. At the beginning, like any baby, she was tiny and slept most of the time. I took her to a couple of seminars and she dozed at my feet. During the last seminar of the year, she hit the doggie version of the terrible twos. Ziva pulled my shoes off each of my feet in turn, took them to the middle of the space created by four sqared off tables, and proceeded to shake them to kill them, and after they were well and truly dead, to chew on them with great enthusasiasm.
Binge-Watching: What is it? Why do it?
I finished three big projects recently, and my brain is, well, fried. So, since I can't go on a nature vacation just now (and, anyway, my idea of a nature vacation includes a nice lodge with a spa) I am turning to television to let my brain rest. Sorry, Joseph Pieper.
The Catholic Common Ground Initiative--Still Relevant?
In his comment on Michael Peppard's post "Transcending Polarization" below, Peter Steinfels writes; "The Catholic Common Ground Initiative was the first major effort to address the issue of polarization in the U.S. Catholic church. I think that its charter statement bears rereading." Joe Komonchak made the same point in the thread.
Baseball: The Thinking Dog's Chew Toy
The boys of summer are back in Boston, although it still looks and feels like winter. However, Ziva, my new puppy, is hopeful about the new season, although she is quite mystified about the disappearance of all the white stuff she has known as ground cover ince her birth.
She already knows she needs to root for the Red Sox.
Compare and Contrast: A Spanish Recruitment Video for the Priesthood
The immensely learned Rita Ferrone has called attention to a recruitment video (in Spanish with English subtitles) that is very different in tone than that of Father Barron. I think a compare and contrast is in order.
What struck me most was the invitational quality of this video. The candidates are being invited into a mystery, not a clearly defined web of doctrinal propositions or a certain command and control structure. It inivtes to a kind of camaraderie of service, I think.
Barron: Basketball, Heroism, and Holiness
I have no doubt Father Robert Barron is having a tough time with the change in papacy, as well as the change in the Archbishop of Chicago. His sensibilities seem far more attuned to the JPII and Benedict eras than the poor church of the poor called for by Francis. That's fine- we all don't need the same sensibilities.
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia--The Best Superbowl Ad of 2015
The best commercial during Sunday's game was the "Brady Bunch" Sinickers ad. For those of us of a certain age, that is. The making of the commercial is astonishing. Look at the physics behind this; it must be extraodrdinarily complicated.
I just love Steve Buscemi in everything he does--whether it's Fargo or Boardwalk Empire or The Brady Bunch.

Beautiful room in the middle of the rainforestPosted Oct 26, 2015
Lovely room in a quiet area very close to the national park. If you expect a B&B with encounter with the host and hit breakfast this isn't for you . As we briefly met the host on arrival then never saw him again. Breakfast is DIY with products provided by the host . The freshly made banana cake was a nice gesture . There is a hot tub nestled in the rainforest

We liked it, but it's not for everyone...Posted Aug 29, 2015 on Hotels
This place can be great or not-so-great, depending on your expectations. On the up-side: *You feel like you're alone, surrounded by lush green rain forest *It's relaxing to hear the rain pour at night with the doors open, as you sleep *The management provides fresh baked bread, is very nice and accommodating *The charm of a small, 2 room building in the forest is a nice break from big hotels with mobs of tourists Things that you might not like: *The water pressure is not great and getting a hot shower requires some tinkering *The bathroom sink drains slow *There isn't daily cleaning service in your room, you need to wash dishes in your bathroom sink *No AC, so it's very hard to get anything to dry in the rain forest Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We were happy to trade some of the comforts of a large hotel for the privacy and tranquility of this boutique.

A uniquely beautiful Hawaiian cottagePosted Jul 23, 2015 on Hotels
Beautiful cottage at 3500 feet in the mountain rainforest. If you're looking for secluded, peaceful, and rustic, this is a great spot. The hotel manager was really lovely and went above and beyond. He even drove us down to the airport on the 2nd day because we realised we needed a rental car to maximise our stay. The hotel is beautiful. Our bathroom sink was what looked like a carved out tree stump. There were sliding doors that opened on two sides of our room allowing fresh air and the sound of light rain and singing birds to come through. There was a nice hot tub and sauna down the boardwalk behind the rooms. We enjoyed that one evening and it's a unique amenity for a property of this kind. The ad lists a complimentary breakfast but the hotel is not licensed as a commercial kitchen. We were provided an assortment of fruity, cereals, and snacks. The fridge was stocked with milk and juice. While we were disappointed to not have a hot breakfast, the food provided was a pleasant surprise. The hotel is close to Volcano, HI, a very small town with a couple food options. There is also very easy access to the Volcano National Park which is a MUST SEE. Beyond that, you need to be prepared for long drives to Hilo or other coastal areas, but don't let that deter you. This hotel is a unique chance to stay in the rainforest and really relax in between all day outings elsewhere on the Island.

This place was awesome! Very great location and it was very private. Loved the room and the bed was very comfortable. They provided a great snack and drink option as well as breakfast items. My only complaint would be that it got a little warm in the room because there is no A/C unless you opened the doors which takes away a little privacy, so a fan would have been nice.

Real disappointmentPosted Apr 3, 2015 on Hotels
We're seasoned B&B travelers as we've stayed in countless B&Bs throughout the continental US and in Europe and this one failed. Although the facility was beautiful, the service killed it. WE saw our host once, and then we were forgotten. We were told breakfast would be in our rooms as they aren't licensed to servce breakfast - okay, but what about replenishing the items in the room each day? We barely had something to eat the second day. Plus little details were overlooked - like at least come in and make the bed, remove the trash, bring in clean cups, etc. but no - nothing was done! Also, the room needed to be checked with little items - like we had only one spoon for two people - how are you supposed to eat your yogurt with one spoon! There needed to be a step stool to help you get into the high bed. There was only one cereal container, etc. etc. Really a disappointing experience and not worth the money they charged. We definitely would not recommend this B&B to others.

heaven on earth!Posted Mar 9, 2015
I definitely love this place,all 5 stars!! We arrived late and tired that night,just got out of the plane had nothing to eat, surprisingly, the staff showed us there were enough food and snacks, even fresh fruits stocked in the room, free to eat! We couldn't be more happy and grateful!! The room is very cozy and romantic, we hung the curtain in the daytime so we could live in the tropical forest. The only downside is the wifi not so good however not a big deal. We didn't even want to step out of the room in the daytime and had our volcano tour behind the schedule! 99.99% satisfaction if the wifi is better:P You might find a big and overweight black cat around, like a fat pillow on the floor, super cute!

Rachel Adams' work is drawing, but not quite as we know it. Using paper draped over
wooden armatures to create large sculptural forms in bleached-out, faded pastel tones, Adams extrapolates one of drawing's traditional functions – to define spatial relationships on a plane – into three dimensions. Her work occupies the space of the gallery much as a bronze sculpture would, but with none of its mass and spatial aggression.

Rather, her work seems both dominant and not, confrontational and self-effacing. Forms that nod to the human body, their titles
(Recliner, Ottoman, Posturing)
implying physical confidence and relaxation, contain contradictions.

There's nothing imposing about their delicate, crinkled surfaces, and yet they oblige a certain mode of engagement in the viewer – looking up, around, behind – that generate an unusual power imbalance between the viewer and the viewed.
Occupying the space of the human body, Adams' works suggest a physical absence, something drained of life, yet crackling with potential energy.

Rachel Adams: Papering Over The Cracks
4th April, 2011, by Andrew Cattanach, The Skinny
The Skinny finds Rachel Adams' solo show at The Duchy looks set to make a splash.
Rachel Adams makes sculptures from paper, amongst other things. "I started using paper when I was at college, and I had this realisation halfway through my final year that everything I had made was something flat made into something sculptural," she explains.
Crumpling, painting and shredding, she manipulates the paper into three dimensional forms. Her ability to give something so distinctly flat such sculptural integrity is her foremost skill. Folded tightly in on itself, the paper occupies space, derisively brandishing its rigidity.
There's also something of paper's accessibility that makes it such an obvious starting point, that it is quite fundamental to the art-making process, despite one's preferred medium. "There was that immediacy that you could just go to a shop and do something really quickly, and I think that's what drew me to it," she explains. "Of course, I never realised I was going to end up painting rolls and rolls of the stuff."
Among her various techniques, Adams often begins by painting the paper. Not solely decoration, the paint gives the paper a firmness it wouldn't normally possess, allowing the sculptures to hold in place, resting upon their own folds. Carefully selected, the colour of the paint often complements the colour of the paper, and when it shows through seems to simulate an exaggerated depth of field, as though the paper's folds were chasms on the surface of a larger object seen from afar.

All Rise...
Judge Dawn Hunt finds frequent snack breaks and costume changes make most situations more bearable.
The Charge
Get Ready For Scooby-Doo's Most Spook-Tacular Cases Yet!
The Case
Because I've never met a pun I didn't love, let me ask: if you don't know who Scooby-Doo is, where are you? The most iconic of all Great Danes, and a product of the Hanna-Barbara studios in the late 1960's, Scooby and the gang have been a pop culture staple for decades. Scooby-Doo! 13 Spooky Tale: Run For Your 'Rife! is a sampling of several of the titular mutt's shows, beginning with the earliest and adding an all-new adventure to the mix.
This is a nostalgia piece, pure and simple. No one is going to buy this in order satisfy some kind of curiosity about who Scooby is. You're going to get it if you're a fan of the series or your collection is missing one of the included episodes. That said I appreciate how care is taken to insure the characters (Scooby-Doo in particular) are maintained regardless of the series. The consistency works not only in terms of recognition but also cohesiveness between series.
The downside to these episodes is the rotating cast of characters. I'm a hardcore original Scooby gang aficionado and the iconic episodes are the ones with Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and of course Velma. Within this set you'll see Flim-Flam, Vincent Van Ghoul, and one of my least favorites, Crappy, er, Scrappy-Doo. Replacing Fred and Velma in the newer series never works for me. The shows have always worked best when they rely on quick-change costumes paired with corny slapstick humor.
The two-disc set contains 13 episodes, listed below with their corresponding series.
Disc One
"Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad, Werewolf?"
"A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts"
"Which Witch is Which"
"A Tiki Scare is No Fair"
"Scared a Lot in Camelot"
"Hang in There, Scooby-Doo"
Disc Two
"The Stoney Glare"
"Scooby-Doo and a Mummy, Too"
"A Scooby-Doo Halloween"
"Scooby in Kwackyland"
Revisiting these episodes is a mixed bag. I love the oldest offerings. Sometimes they are formulaic but that formula works and is often copied on other shows. But while I do appreciate the desire to update these iconic characters through the years the examples chosen aren't the standouts of their respective shows.
The video transfer varies not only in animation style but aspect ratio as well. The animation style begins with 1.33:1 aspect ratio hand-drawn cartoons which dominated the television landscape for decades. To me this is the strongest visual presentation, offering a darker palette more suited for the mystery genre as well as interesting backgrounds with a simple yet full picture. The other choice is a 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio computer generated cartoon. While it offers more eye-popping colors and a cleaner animation I still prefer the older cartoons. As far as audio goes it's an extremely simple Mono transfer but it works because it brings along the warehouse of Hanna-Barbara sound effects and music cues which only serve to heighten the nostalgia.
There were no special features.
Scooby-Doo! 13 Spooky Tales: Run For Your 'Rife! comes with a very specific purchase recommendation. If you aren't a hardcore fan and just want to see some old episodes and check out where they've taken the present day characters, this is the set for you. Serious fans will do well to seek out more complete collections.

Not guilty.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

"Best blind purchase yet"
By Blackout BlindsFan from Portland
These blinds are amazing for blocking out light. Easy to install. Depending on window framing you will have to install small amounts of weather striping to get the last tiny bits of light blocked out (Small amount included). The bottom of my window was not level and had a slight light streak I purchased some weather stripping and when blind is closed no light (Attached it to bottom of blind). If you need to block out light in your room for sleeping or home theater take a look at these. They are amazing at blocking light. I plan to purchase them again soon to start blocking more light out of my theater room.View this product

Upon activating SFC, the "Login with Facebook" button appears on the login screen (which overrides the main page if a user is not logged in) - which is good.

Dems try out ObamaCare repeal — in part
posted at 2:55 pm on July 30, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Repeal Fever sweeps Washington! With Republicans surging in momentum in part based on the promised repeal of ObamaCare, a few House Democrats have decided to take a test drive on at least one part of the sweeping overhaul. Small businesses have screamed about the burden of the requirement to file 1099s on all business-to-business transactions over $600, and with the GOP also successfully painting Democrats as anti-business, Democrats want to rid themselves of the issue:
For the first time, House Democrats are proposing repealing a piece of the health care overhaul, one that small businesses have been warning is going to be overly burdensome.
The move comes just four months after the Democrats' health plan passed in March. The provision would have required businesses to file 1099 tax forms for all transactions with vendors that total over $600.
Due for implementation in 2012, it would have raised $19 billion over 10 years to pay for the health care overhaul.
Rep. Scott Murphy (D-NY) offered the bill on Friday morning. Ways and Means Chairman Sander Levin (D-Mich.), spoke in favor of the bill on the House floor Friday.
Gee, you know what might have solved this problem in the first place? Knowing what the hell was in the bill before voting for it. If Democrats who crafted this portion of the bill had any experience in the private sector, especially in small business, they would have immediately recognized it for the disaster it will become, once in effect.
When the GOP says that Democrats are anti-business, this is precisely what it means. They wanted to get $19 billion from businesses to pay for their social engineering, and they didn't care at all how they gleaned it.
The next question will be how Democrats will pay for the repeal. According to their pay-go rule, any cut in revenue has to be matched either with a commensurate increase elsewhere or by an equal spending cut. Otherwise, they not only violate the very rule that Democrats cheered on its passage in February, they also push ObamaCare into a deficit producer, even in their skewed calculations without the doctor-fix they passed in June.
Hopefully, this section gets repealed quickly. That should start some momentum for repealing the rest of it.
Update: Dems, not Dens. Or maybe it was Dens of Dems. Or something. Sorry about that!

The Cheers and Jeers for a Costly New Ballpark
Ailing Fort Myers Approves a New Spring-Training Stadium for the Boston Red Sox; Some See Boon, Others a Bane
Fort Myers, Fla.
The local jobless rate already stood at 10% when Lee County commissioners signed off on a deal last December to bankroll a new spring-training stadium for baseball's Boston Red Sox. Local home values had fallen by half over the previous year, the biggest contraction in the nation.
Yet the county decided to go ahead with the plan, which could require an initial investment of $100 million -- and backers have seized on the data to bolster their case. The project, they argue, would pay for itself several times over by generating hundreds of jobs, propping up the reeling construction industry and attracting more tourists to this Gulf Coast community.
"It's a catalyst for the economy at the time of its greatest need," said Ray Judah, chairman of Lee County's Board of Commissioners.
Opponents are crying foul. "It's the wrong thing at the wrong time," said Brian Bigelow, a county commissioner who voted against the plan. "The timing just couldn't be worse."
The recession is drastically shifting the decades-long debate over the value of subsidizing sports stadiums. Local governments, which once had cash to burn, are suddenly heavily squeezed. Consumers, once willing to fork over more money for seats in showcases, are seeing their disposable incomes vanish.
As a result, big facilities like the one planned here, once viewed as huge revenue generators and symbols of local pride, increasingly look to many people like monuments of a bygone era of excess. In New York, the new home of the New York Mets, Citi Field, has been dubbed "Bailout Park" and "TARP Field" by locals in the wake of the federal government's Troubled Asset Relief Program. Citigroup Inc., recipient of billions in TARP funds, helped foot the bill for the Mets' new digs by paying $400 million for naming rights.
When Sarasota County in Florida attempted to lure the Red Sox for spring training with a publicly financed project last year, the plan cratered amid public opposition. The standard response among local residents was that it represented "corporate welfare" for rich baseball owners, said Joe Barbetta, a Sarasota County commissioner.
Such perceptions are growing even though it's not clear how much money -- if any -- will be diverted from social spending. Lee County officials plan to finance the new Red Sox spring-training site from a hotel tax that primarily hits tourists and say they are legally prohibited from earmarking the funds for such needs as local schools or homeless shelters.
But the dramatically diverging fortunes of the Red Sox and Lee County's 600,000 inhabitants are striking local nerves. The ballclub, which has played its spring tune-up games in Lee County since 1993, has enjoyed regular sellouts at the current stadium and won baseball's World Series twice in the last five years. Meanwhile, the number of food-stamp recipients in the county has nearly tripled over the past two years, while the foreclosure rate is one the nation's highest.
For some in a county that already has a stadium, the need for a new ballpark is debatable and pales compared with community needs.
"I feel they shouldn't waste the money," said Victor Cortez, who works at an auto repair shop in Lee County's Lehigh Acres, where many houses stand empty. He thinks the county should focus on other things, like roads and school teachers.
Lee County narrowly approved the 30-year lease agreement with the Red Sox late last year after three elected officials voted in favor and two against. If the county doesn't build the new home for the Red Sox, it risks losing the team to another community, proponents say. The county also hosts the Minnesota Twins and is trying to recruit the Baltimore Orioles for spring training in the existing Red Sox stadium.
Yet after enjoying years of steadily rising property-tax revenue, the county now is cutting spending elsewhere amid an estimated budget shortfall of $30 million for the fiscal year ending in September. Tougher decisions loom in fiscal 2010, when the budget gap is expected to widen beyond $100 million.
The baseball deal could still unravel if the county doesn't settle on a site or square up its financing by June. Critics -- including the current mayor of Fort Myers -- say the accord is heavily slanted in favor of the Red Sox and that the existing spring-training facilities, built in the early 1990s, are excellent.
A similar debate has played out in Miami, where local politicians voted last week to build a regular-season baseball stadium for the Florida Marlins that's expected to cost more than $500 million. The measure, beaten back several times by critics in recent months, was approved by Miami-Dade County commissioners who think it will spur the local economy.
The new exhibition stadium for the Red Sox in Lee County is slated to open for the 2012 or 2013 season and hold about 10,000 fans. The county has agreed to cover all real-estate and construction costs, with the Sox paying around $500,000 in annual rent.
Mike Dee, chief operating officer of the Red Sox, said his team decided to stay put after approaches from other counties in Florida and Arizona. Far from corporate welfare, the construction project would be "an oasis in the middle of the desert" for Lee County's recession-stricken economy, he said.
But the economics of such projects remain murky. Local supporters point to a Florida-funded study in 2000 estimating a county derives $25 million in annual economic benefits by hosting spring training. A study commissioned by Sarasota County last year estimated the Sox could generate $45 million in annual benefits.
Several academics dispute those projections, pointing to data showing tax and sales revenue have remained stable in counties after they secured or lost major league baseball teams. Philip Porter, an economist at the University of South Florida, said Lee County's decision to bankroll a new spring-training site is "unconscionable" amid the current uncertainty.
Mr. Porter notes local taxpayers could be on the hook if Lee County's tourist-tax revenue, which has remained stable in recent months, shrinks in the coming years. He also argues communities have wiggle room with tourist-tax proceeds and could be directing them toward a local park or school gymnasium, freeing up local taxes for other needs.
Lee County has commissioned a new economic-impact study. But only 1.3% of respondents in a prior 2007 county tourism survey named spring training as the main reason for visiting the area; far more cited the beaches and sea shells.
Meanwhile, local government agencies in Lee County have been told to pare costs. Among those facing cuts are the human-services department, which helps finance local charities. One of those charities, Community Cooperative Ministries, began distributing food backpacks to more than 700 children at Orange River Elementary School each Friday amid signs they were going hungry over the weekend.
Holly Bell, the school's principal, says she sought help after seeing parents rummage through the trash for food. Kids will be sent home with double food rations this week, ahead of spring break.
Ms. Bell is of two minds about Lee County funding the Red Sox stadium. "There's a piece of me that says, 'Why?' But there's another piece that says without tourists, our economy isn't going to improve,'' she said.

Ela Orchard is located in Rochester, Wisconsin. We grow many varieties of apples and pears, and we press fresh apple cider.
Mar 10, 2016
The Apple Barn has closed for the season,
and our selling season has ended at the Dane Co Winter Farmers' Market as of Feb 20
We will be at
the Milwaukee Winter Market at the Domes for the last time this season
on Saturday March 12.
We pressed a small batch of fresh cider on Wednesday March 9 and will have it at the Milwaukee Market Saturday and will also have just a few final McIntosh cooking grade apples which are not crisp but are surprisingly tasty for March.
For the committed apple eater, as the season winds down the remaining apples look and taste more precious with the looming months of no local apples.
We plan to be at:
MILWAUKEE COUNTY WINTER FARMERS' MARKET on Satrurday Mar 12 at the Domes, in Milwaukee
We will try to keep our Market and Barn details up to date on this page.

Williams Sisters Lift U.S. Team Over Sweden in Fed Cup
By Erik Gudris
(April 21, 2013) -- With the Sweden versus U.S. tie hanging in the balance, U.S. Fed Cup Captain Mary Joe Fernandez went with the experience of the Williams Sisters to lift her team to victory in the World Group playoffs in Delray Beach, Florida.
Tied at 1-1 heading into the second day, the U.S. team expected a dominant performance from World No. 1
Serena Williams
Sofia Arvidsson
and they were not disappointed. Though Williams appeared to play at times near fifty percent of her true level, it was certainly enough as she faced little resistance from Arvidsson.
Williams hit 35 winners and rained down 10 aces to complete a 6-2, 6-1 win in under and hour. That gave the U.S. a 2-1 lead and forced Captain Fernandez to make a tough decision.
Sloane Stephens
was scheduled to play
Johanna Larsson
in the second reverse singles rubber, Fernandez instead chose to go with the experience of
Venus Williams
. That decision would allow the elder Williams to play singles in Fed Cup for the first time since 2007.
Despite being broken to start the match, Williams recovered the break and soon lifted her game over Larsson. Williams took the first set 6-3 and when she earned a break of serve midway through the second set to go up 4-3, the finish line looked well in sight.
But it wouldn't be that easy for Williams in the final few games. Williams took a slight fall in the next game and that seemed to rattle her as she served for the match later at 5-4. Williams threw in three nervous looking double faults to give the game away, but Larsson then allowed herself to be broken again for 6-5.
The final game proved to be a mini-marathon as Williams jumped out to a 40-15 lead on her serve but soon found herself at deuce. With her back seeming to be an issue, Williams was forced to arm in multiple serves and could never quite close out Larsson despite having multiple match points.
With the crowd and Fernandez urging her on, Williams hit a big forehand Larsson couldn't handle on the eighth match point to seal the 6-3, 7-5 win and thus extend the U.S. lead to 3-1. It marked the first time Venus Williams had clinched a deciding point for the U.S. in her 14 year Fed Cup career.
The U.S. team later forfeited the remaining doubles rubber due to injury. That made the final tie score 3-2 in favor of the U.S. and sent the team back into the World Group next year.

Hello Love
- Record Label: Nettwerk
- Release Date: Oct 10, 2006
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
What will always make The Be Good Tanyas stand out, in a roots/folk genre replete with superstar solo artists, is that they're capable of juxtaposing their own songs next to the classics of the genre and tricking listeners into playing name-that-era throughout an entire album.
So here they are, doing again what they've done before: mostly slow and sombre songs, sometimes delivered with a wary hesitancy that can be endearing but is occasionally frustrating.
Although they recognize their strengths and know that their formula works, they are also smart enough to explore new territory.
MojoEach song feels handmade, having the precise airiness or density it requires. [Jan 2007, p.112]
For the most part, the ladies have chosen not to stray too far from their plainclothes rootsy sound, and while that may disappoint some fans, there's enough quality stuff here to light a fire in every train yard oil drum from Vancouver to Halifax.
While the trio hasn't managed to outshine their spectacular debut, Hello Love is a CD filled with cross-generational charm and musical riches.
UncutThe harmonies are undeniably pretty. [Nov 2006, p.120]
The trio have also grown more comfortable singing the blues and incorporating meatier harmonica and guitar arrangements, and lurching tracks like Out Of The Wilderness and A Little Blues make up for weaker soft rock ballads that leave little impression.
Q MagazineUnbearably stark. [Nov 2006, p.136]
While their talent keeps Hello Love engaging... the album is nonetheless The Be Good Tanyas at their most laid-back.
Hello Love is certainly the most hinged of their three releases, in that it sounds the cleanest—the most streamlined both instrumentally and lyrically. Too bad what it's saying is, more often than not, familiar to the point of being trite.

Probably better than either of the previous efforts and I never participate in music reviews but have not stopped listening to this album.

I just had one break out, and the requirements for the HazMat garage are enormously expensive. Is this the only way to quench those special flames?
Yes. This is the only way to put out HazMat fires. Even though the requirements are quite expensive, there is good news...
Getting a university and the appropriate school is certainly a grind, but it's a grind you'll only need to do once per region.
The best thing to do with regards to industry prior to being able to extinguish HazMat fires is to keep the density down by lowering the density capacity of the connected streets in the zone. I have found that these fires can happen quite often if you don't have the HazMat garage, and when they do, they will repeatedly knock out very large factories and lose you quite a bit of tax income while they rebuild and restaff.

Cardinals Overcome 5-Run Deficit to Beat Cubs 9-6
8/31/2014 @ 6:28 PMST. LOUIS (AP) - Matt Holliday hit his third home run in two games and broke an eighth-inning tie with a two-run single, rallying the St. Louis Cardinals past the Chicago Cubs 9-6 on Sunday.
Holliday had three hits and four RBIs for the Cardinals, who began the day one game behind first-place Milwaukee in the NL Central.
St. Louis second baseman Kolten Wong left in the top of the eighth after falling backward when he tried to catch a popup in short right field. He appeared to hurt his head and shoulder, and was replaced by Pete Kozma.
Kozma, in his third stint with St. Louis this season, led off the bottom half with a double. It was his second hit in four at-bats this year. After failing to get down two bunt attempts, Daniel Descalso got the third one down and beat Carlos Villanueva's throw to first for a single.

North Dakota WIC Further Benefits
Research has shown that there is no better food than breast milk for a baby's first year of life. Breastfeeding provides many health, nutritional, economical and emotional benefits to mother and baby. Since a major goal of the WIC Program is to improve the nutritional status of infants, WIC mothers are encouraged to breastfeed their infants. WIC has historically promoted breastfeeding to all pregnant women as the optimal infant feeding choice, unless medically contraindicated.
WIC mothers choosing to breastfeed are provided information through counseling and breastfeeding educational materials.
Breastfeeding mothers receive follow-up support through peer counselors.
Breastfeeding mothers are eligible to participate in WIC longer than non-breastfeeding mothers.
Mothers who exclusively breastfeed their infants receive an enhanced food package.
Breastfeeding mothers can receive breast pumps, breast shells or nursing supplementers to help support the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding.

It is closer to Beale than the Peabody. Excellent gym, pool and other extras. Breakfast was awesome. Staff was everywhere and very helpful. Corners of the bathroom needed minor attention and shower curtain didn't stop much. Otherwise perfect!!
Parking was expensive and garage was confusing. Clockwise up to 2nd floor then counterclockwise down to get out. Needs better signage to show you where to turn. Parking attendant was very helpful though.

The title might be confusing. Are these lesbians dirty? Or are their pleasures dirty? They seem to be French, so it's anybody's guess.
It's confusing, for sure and director and star Stacy Silver doesn't really clear things up. Yep, she's a cute little Franco chick, and she seems like a real livewire, and a true go-getter. But somehow, despite Stacy and her foxy co-stars with their well-groomed bikini zones, this thing doesn't seem to generate much heat. And, damn, it had potential.
Still, dig the way Stacy uses silver sex toys on her gals. Get it? Stacy... Silver?
Retailing: Pretty French girls having pretty, French lesbian sex.
