I remember when my obsession with all things coconut started � as a young lad in preschool.
I still remember Mrs. Linez (the spelling may be off, I was 4-years-old the last time I saw her) cracking coconuts one day and giving everyone a little coconut milk.
That was more than 30 years ago, and the coconut obsession remains. I drink coconut water, coconut coffee and coconut soda, and coconut encrusted shrimp is a favorite of mine.
But, above all else, I�m obsessed with coconut beer. My life would be happy if every brewery in the country brewed at least one coconut beer.
I can still remember the first time I had a coconut beer. It was on May 28, 2008, in Montreal. I was at the Mondial de La Biere, and one of the beer tents had Maui CoCoNut Porter. I tried it and I loved it and my goal for more coconut beers was born.
The CoCoNut Porter was good, but I thought there could be even more coconut flavor in a beer. The next time I got to try a coconut beer was in June of 2009.
A friend and myself had taken a trip to Pittsburgh to check out the local beer scene.�One of the stops was at the Church Brew Works. Listed on the menu was �rotating stout,� so I asked what the stout was. Nonchalantly, the waitress responded with �coconut stout.� At least I think she said stout because once she started saying �coconut,� I said, �I�ll have that.�
I remember every coconut beer I have ever had. Guest blogger Andrew Kuhn brewed a decent one a couple of years ago. The Stone Brewing Company brewed the Ken Schmidt/Maui/Stone Kona Macadamia Coconut Porter a few years ago and I�ve never bought so many of a Stone special release as that.
The Kona Brown Nut Brown Ale, made with toasted coconut is the only six-pack I�ve purchased from Kona and Joe Z�s Coconut Porter brewed by Wormtown Brewery in Worcester was a treat for me.
The ultimate happened last year when, after two years of pestering Wormtown's Ben Roesch about brewing �of a chocolate/coconut stout, he agreed to brew one to shut me up.
Last August, Norm made its debut. It was liquid heaven. A liquid mounds bar with more body and better flavors � and alcohol. It was exactly what I envisioned when I was bothering Roesch. Look for it later this year in bombers.
There have been others over the years, but far too few. The latest is the newest Stone collaboration � the Robert Masterson & Ryan Reschan/Rip Current/Stone R&R Coconut IPA.
I�ll be writing a full review of this beer later this week, but I�ll give you a preview � I really liked it.
I know that my hope that all breweries will start brewing a coconut beer �is not likely, but maybe it'll just happen. Maybe the next Founders Breakfast Stout can be called �Tropical Breakfast,� but a man can dream, can�t he?

DELAND, Fla. -- Stetson pounded out a combined 18 runs on 21 hits in a pair of victories Friday night in the first day of the Stetson Classic at Patricia Wilson Field. The Hatters (10-3) hit three home runs in a 8-0 victory over Memphis in the opener, then tallied six extra base hits in a 10-3 win over South Dakota in the nightcap.
Courtney Brandt went 6-for-6 with a home run and five runs scored in the two games combined. Meredith Owen, Brittany Hawn, and Amanda Grimaldo also went deep for Stetson.
Owen (4-2) pitched a one-hit shutout over five innings against Memphis (8-9). She walked only one batter and struck out eight.
In the night cap, Sarah Read improved to 5-0 with a six inning effort, striking out three Coyote batters.
In the Memphis game, Owen and Grimaldo hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the first to give Stetson a 3-0 lead. It was Grimaldo's first home run as a Hatter and the first time a pair Stetson batters went deep in consecutive at bats since Chelsea Walley and Brandt accomplished the feat vs. Colgate, Mar. 13, 2013.
Hawn added a two-run home run in the second inning to extend the lead to 5-0. It was her second round-tripper of the season. The Hatters capped the scoring with three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, two of which came across on a double to left field by Chrissy Morello, her eighth and ninth RBI of the season.
In the South Dakota game, Stetson fell behind early, but scored three runs in the top of the third, one each in the fourth and fifth, and five in the sixth to break the game open.
Brandt had a career-high four hits in the game, and hit her first home run of the season in the bottom of the fourth inning. The round tripper was the 15th of her career, making her just the 10th player in program history to reach that mark. Grimaldo doubled, tripled and drove in three runs, while Demi Meza also registered three RBI against South Dakota (8-6).
Stetson will host the same two teams again on Saturday, beginning with a game against South Dakota at 4 p.m., then take on Memphis at 6:30 p.m.
Tickets start at $10 per day and can be purchased online at GoHatters.com/tix or at the Patricia Wilson Field box office. Stetson students, faculty, and staff are free with a valid ID. Subscription based live video of the Stetson games will be available on HatterVision. Live stats, the Stetson softball twitter feed, and the Hat-Alerts text messaging system will provide in-game updates as well.

Meanwhile, at St. Mary's Hospital, London, it's business as usual. Sort of.
With the staff reminded to remain professional, Lyza Marie Felicia, 25, a radiologist's assistant in the Lindo Wing where Kate is due to have her baby, told PEOPLE: "There is really tight security now on that ward. We have to sign our names in as we come into the ward and when we leave."
Like the others she works with, Felicia was required to sign a confidentiality agreement. "I asked security two days ago if Kate had arrived," she said, and "he could only tell me that she hadn't arrived."
In spite of the restriction on what she might say, Felicia cannot contain her excitement about the impending royal birth.
"Every tea break I will ask around, 'Is she here yet?' " she said. "It's been the topic of the day for a week now. But we know it's a royal baby, so it's a really big deal and everything has to be really private."
The Wing Is Spruced UpHospital porter Mohamed Bjell, 27, who transports patients to the Lindo wing, told PEOPLE that his employers "haven't asked us to change much of our daily work. She has been coming here for her scans, etcetera. The whole team have been really excited. Some people are hoping to take pictures with her and the baby."
The management has been taking Kate and William's arrival very seriously and, according to Bjell, staff members "are making it really special for her."
"They have been cleaning the floor inside and outside of the ward. They've re-painted."
Summing up the hospital atmosphere, he said, "People are excited and waiting." They've also putting their money where their mouths are.
"I've been betting on potential names for the baby and whether it's a girl or boy," said Bjell. "I put down 20 pounds and I may stand to win 200. Lots of people have put a lot more than that. Someone put on thousands."
Kate 'Will Be Well Looked After'Saturday the contingent of those waiting outside the hospital included Ted Hutt, 78, from Cambridge, who has been camped on a bench covered in Union Jack flags for a number of days. His outfit also matches his bench.
Dressed head to toe in Union Jack attire, Hutt told PEOPLE: "I bought a pink and a blue 'congratulations' card, and I have filled them all in. I just need to fill their name in."
Dawn Robertson, 58, who had her own three children at St. Mary's, is confident that it's the best place for the Duke and Duchess and their newborn.
"Kate will be well looked after," she said. "They were really accommodating and always asking if you were okay and comfortable."

Prostate cancer is cancer that starts in the prostate gland. The prostate is a small, walnut-sized structure that makes up part of a man's reproductive system. It wraps around the urethra. This is the tube that carries urine out of the body.
Cancer - prostate; Biopsy - prostate; Prostate biopsy; Gleason score
Prostate cancer is the most common cause of death from cancer in men over age 75. Prostate cancer is rarely found in men younger than 40.
People who are at high risk include:
Other people at risk include:
Prostate cancer is less common in people who do not eat meat (vegetarians).
A common problem in almost all men as they grow older is an enlarged prostate. This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. It does not raise your risk of prostate cancer. But it can increase your prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test result.
With early prostate cancer, there are often no symptoms.
The PSA blood test may done to screen men for prostate cancer. Often, PSA level rises before there are any symptoms.
The symptoms listed below can occur with prostate cancer as it grows larger in the prostate. These symptoms can also be caused by other prostate problems:
When the cancer has spread, there may be bone pain or tenderness, most often in the lower back and pelvic bones.
An abnormal digital rectal exam may be the only sign of prostate cancer.
A biopsy is needed to tell if you have prostate cancer. A biopsy is a procedure to remove a sample of tissue from the prostate. The sample is sent to a lab for examination. It will be done in your doctor's office.
Your doctor may recommend a biopsy if:
The biopsy result is reported using what is called a Gleason grade and a Gleason score.
The Gleason grade tells you how fast the cancer might spread. It grades tumors on a scale of 1 through 5. You may have different grades of cancer in one biopsy sample. The two most common grades are added together. This gives you the Gleason score. The higher your Gleason score, the more likely the cancer can spread beyond the prostate:
The following tests may be done to determine whether the cancer has spread:
The PSA blood test will also be used to monitor your cancer after treatment.
Treatment depends on many things, including your Gleason score and your overall health. Your doctor will discuss your treatment options.
If the cancer has not spread outside the prostate gland, common treatments include:
If you are older, your doctor may recommend simply monitoring the cancer with PSA tests and biopsies.
If the prostate cancer has spread, treatment may include hormone therapy (medicines to reduce testosterone levels). It may be used for all but the earliest stage of prostate cancer. It may be given before, along with, or after other treatments.
If prostate cancer spreads even after hormone therapy, surgery, or radiation has been tried, treatment may include:
Surgery, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy can affect your sexual performance. Problems with urine control are possible after surgery and radiation therapy. Discuss your concerns with your health care provider.
After treatment for prostate cancer, you will be closely watched to make sure the cancer does not spread. This involves routine checkups, including PSA blood tests (usually every 3 months to 1 year).
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a prostate cancer support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
How well you do depends on whether the cancer has spread outside the prostate gland and how abnormal the cancer cells are (the Gleason score) when you are diagnosed.
A cure is possible if the cancer has not spread. Hormone treatment can improve survival, even if a cure is not possible.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of PSA screening with your health care provider.
Talk with your health care provider about possible ways to lower your risk of prostate cancer. These may include lifestyle measures, such as diet and exercise.
Taking extra vitamin E has not been found to reduce the risk of prostate cancer and may increase the risk. Talk with your doctor before taking larger doses of this vitamin.
There are no medicines approved by the FDA for preventing prostate cancer.

A Ransomville woman involved in a marijuana-smuggling operation has pleaded guilty to federal drug-conspiracy charges before U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara, U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. reported Thursday.
Prosecutors said Bonnie R. Gordon, 33, was part of a group that brought marijuana from Canada to the U.S., often hidden in the spare tire of a car. The marijuana was driven to several locations in Niagara County for distribution, investigators determined. Authorities said Gordon admitted that the operation began in 2002 and continued for more than seven years.
Gordon was arrested with five other suspects in December 2011. She is the first to be convicted. She faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison when she returns for sentencing July 1.

Fabulous French Bread
Just the thought of making
French Bread
at home intimidated me. I assumed it would take hours upon hours of dough making, kneading, rising, etc. etc. Blah! Who's got time for dat? I don't.
Well, the truth is you can have delicious homemade
French Bread
in just one hour! Yep. One hour. This dough is super easy to make, especially if you do it in your stand-mixer. That fabulous dough hook will do the little kneading that's required for you!
This recipe makes 3 medium-sized loaves of
French Bread
. We made sandwiches with the first loaf (so good!) and french bread pizza with the second one (recipe coming tomorrow!) and with the third loaf we randomly sliced us off a piece and spread on some butter and jam. Talk about heaven!
*Below the recipe I posted pictures to show the step-by-step of how you form the dough before baking. It's super easy, but maybe a little hard to understand in writing. So check them out for help, if needed*
Oh, and don't let the long instructions scare you, this bread is super easy to make!
Fabulous French Bread
1 cup boiling water
1/3 cup warm water
1 Tablespoon active dry yeast
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
1 Tablespoon shortening ( I used butter-flavor Crisco)
1 cup cold water
5-6 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
Preheat oven to 170 degrees F. Fill a glass measuring cup with 1 cup of water. Place in microwave and heat for 3 minutes, or until water is boiling.
In another glass measuring cup, fill it with 1/3 cup warm water. Sprinkle the 1 Tablespoon of yeast over the water. With a fork, stir yeast into the water until yeast is completely dissolved.
Pour the sugar, salt and shortening into the bowl of your stand mixer. Using a fork, mash these ingredients together. Pour the 1 cup of boiling water over the shortening mixture in the stand mixer. Add the 1 cup of cold water into the mixer. Then pour in the yeast/water mixture.
Add 3 cups of flour into the mixer, and
using the dough hook
, turn mixer on low speed. With the mixer still on, slowly add in the remaining 3 cups of flour, 1 cup at a time. Once all 6 cups are in, turn speed to medium and let the dough mix for 6-8 minutes.
The dough should be nice and elastic. Be careful not to over-flour. I used all 6 cups, but would not use any more than that.
Once the dough is mixed, let it rest in the bowl for 5 minutes.
Spray a large cookie sheet with non-stick spray. After the dough has rested in the bowl, dump it onto the greased cookie sheet.
Take a sharp knife, spray it with non-stick spray, and cut dough into 3 equal pieces. Then let it rest again for 5 minutes. (
These resting periods for the dough is needed, so please do it and be patient! It's worth the wait )
To shape the dough before baking:
Take one section of dough and spread it out into a rectangle. Just use your fingers, you don't need a rolling pin. Fold one long end up over half of dough, then fold the other half over that one. Then fold each side up over each other, then turn the loaf over so it is seam side down.
Use your fingers to tuck seams down underneath the loaf and shape it. Repeat with the other 2 pieces of dough. Once all 3 sections of dough are shaped cut 3 angled 1/2 inch slits onto the tops of dough.
Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk with a fork until frothy. Spread the egg over the tops of each loaf, making sure to get inside the slits.
Place the loaves into the oven and let them rise for about 15 minutes (while the oven is on 170 degrees F.) Then turn oven up to 400 degrees F (while the loaves are still inside) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crisp. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F. and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Remove the loaves from the baking sheet and allow them to cool a bit before slicing them.
Enjoy! ♥
Below are s
tep-by-step pictures on how to shape the dough:

Chocolate Scotcheroos
The first time I ever tasted a
Chocolate Scotcheroo
was at my little sister's baby shower, 7 years ago. I took one bite, fell in-love, and immediately went up to her friend (who hosted the shower) and begged her for the recipe.
They are a rice krispie treat that are coated in a delicious peanut butter concoction, and topped with a butterscotch-chocolate topping. They are seriously so good! They're rich too, so a little goes a long way.
Ever since my sister's shower I've noticed these being served at many showers and parties I have been to. They really are delicious, and such a perfect treat for a crowd!
Chocolate Scotcheroos
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated white sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
5 cups crispy rice cereal (
Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
In a medium saucepan, pour in the 1 cup corn syrup and 1 cup sugar. Turn heat to medium and stir together until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat. Stir in the creamy peanut butter and mix well.
Stir in the 5 cups of crispy rice cereal until thoroughly combined and coated. Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Spread evenly into the pan. Set aside and let cool about 10 minutes.
In a microwavable-safe bowl, melt the butterscotch and milk chocolate chips at 30 second increments until melted. Stir and then pour evenly over the mixture in pan. Let stand until firm.
Once completely cooled, cut into 2-inch bars and serve. Enjoy! ♥
Makes 16 bars.

Southwest Chicken Chopped Salad
I've been MIA with the blog lately. Sorry, friends. My life has been so busy with changes at work, last minute summer fun, and also dealing with a stressful situation going on with my family. I'll catch you all up soon on what's been going on.
Last weekend I got to party it up in Las Vegas! Every August my sisters and I do a getaway trip for our little sister's birthday. We eat, do some back-to-school shopping, and catch a fun comedy show. We always have a blast! The funnest part of the trip is when we stay up late, talking and laughing so hard we can't breathe! haha Good times! I love my sisters. They are without a doubt my best friends.
To get back to the recipe, I made this utterly delicious
Southwest Chicken Chopped Salad
last week for dinner. It was amazing! It's now officially my new favorite salad. Grilled chicken, romaine lettuce and lots of colorful veggies tossed in a taco-ranch dressing....
I admit, this salad does take a little prep time with the chopping of the veggies and all. But it is so worth it. I promise you will LOVE it!
Southwest Chicken Chopped Salad
Makes 4-6 servings
3 cups cooked, diced chicken
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 small can sweet yellow corn, drained
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
4 green onions, sliced
1/2 bunch of chopped cilantro
2 large Romaine hearts, washed and chopped
2 cups crushed tortilla chips
For the Taco-Ranch dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
2-3 Tablespoons Ranch seasoning
2 Tablespoons Taco seasoning
1 Tablespoon fresh Lime juice
2-3 Tablespoons milk
Start by making the Taco-Ranch dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients to thoroughly combine. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to chill.
To make the salad:
In a large bowl, add the diced bell pepper, black beans, corn, tomatoes, green onion and cilantro. Stir to combine. Then add the cooked chicken pieces and the chopped romaine lettuce. Pour the prepared salad dressing all over the top. (
You may not need all of the dressing. It
on how much dressing you like
) Gently stir to combine the salad, making sure to coat entirely with the dressing. Mix in the crushed tortilla chips last.
Serve the salad in individual bowls, topping with more cilantro and limes to garnish, if desired.
Enjoy! ♥

I made these for a family party we had last week and they went fast! They're so delicious and small, so it's easy to keep poppin' them in your mouth. I suggest doubling this recipe if you're feeding more than 10 people.
These are so perfect for parties. Such a crowd pleaser and super easy to make!
Cheesy Bacon Rotel Cups
(1.9 ounce) boxes of frozen Mini Phyllo (Fillo) Shells (15 per box)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies), drained
1/2 cup chopped, cooked bacon
1 (2.8 ounce) bag
Oscar Meyer
Real Bacon bits
1 1/2 cups shredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove phyllo shells carefully from their boxes. No need to thaw. Place shells onto a large baking sheet.
In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Rotel tomatoes and bacon pieces. Once combined, stir in the cheese. Scoop 2 Tablespoons of filling into each phyllo shell. Bake for 15- 20 minutes or until golden and cheese is melted.
Serve and enjoy! ♥

Menu Plan Monday #34
I can't believe August is just a few days away! This Summer has seriously flown by. Time flies when you're havin' fun, right!? The month of August is always a busy one for us. We have Emma's birthday, my annual sisters Vegas trip, and trying to squeeze in some last minute fun before the new school year starts.
I'm looking forward for school to start and getting back on a regular schedule. It makes me feel more sane, and it helps me to complete projects and blogging. On school nights my kids are in bed no later than 8:00 p.m. It not only helps them do better in school, but it makes for happy parents,too.
It's amazing the things I can get accomplished once the kiddos are in bed. Even if it is just catching up on some Real Housewives of Orange County...

Preventing your brand messaging from getting lost in the chatter may be one of the most difficult challenges facing members of the staffing industry today. Your clients and candidates have no shortage of staffing firms to select from, most of which claim equal expertise or offer a comparable value proposition. To be noticed, let alone remembered, requires more than a routine message.
Contemporary marketing is built to target people on the individual level. Your staffing marketing tool should have the analytic power and maneuverability to make that happen. Here's how the right recruiting and staffing software can integrate into your competitive marketing strategy.
Quickly Identifying Which Marketing Tactics Work
In previous years, your staffing firm might have had the luxury to test marketing tactics at a leisurely pace. However, that's not the case today. Data analysis tools have influenced every inch of the staffing industry, from sourcing and customer relationship management to back office and marketing strategies. The difference in the growth of companies who effectively use their data is the difference in speed you see between a bullet train and a stagecoach. The right staffing marketing

Gadsden County commissioner Sherrie Taylor expressed her disappointment in the actions of fellow commissioner Brenda Holt during the Oct. 6 regular meeting of the commissioners.
"It's a sad day when one commissioner attacks other commissioners in public with untruths and misinformation. We have so much that we need to do and we need to do it together. Commissioner Holt has taken several shots at me and I have taken them," Taylor said.
They sat, legs crossed, eyes wide, waiting for their guest to begin. The book was opened, the pages were turned, and through a guest reader, children all over Gadsden County were filled with wonder as they heard a story about a very hungry little bug.
Terrell Collier, 32, remains in the intensive care unit at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital after he was shot Oct. 6 around 3 p.m. by his stepfather, Willie Ankcroum. No charges have been filed against Ankcroum, pending a decision from the state attorney.
"We're going to give this one to the state attorney's office because he's saying that he was afraid for his life. If that's true, this could fall under the new law in Florida called the 'Castle Doctrine' law," said Lt. Larry Gilyard of the Quincy Police Department.
UPDATE: A viewing is planned for 6 to 9 tonight at Bevis Funeral Home, with services at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Fellowship Baptist Church in Tallahassee. Burial will be at Tallahassee Memory Gardens. A fund has been set up for their daughter. Contributions may be made to The Emily Joyner Trust, c/o Barbara Estes, Capital City Bank, 102 S. Main St., Havana, FL 32333.
A Havana couple was killed Oct. 9, just south of Havana near the intersection of U.S. Highway 27 and County Road 159.
The Gadsden County Tourist Development Council, partnered with the county's chamber of commerce, has developed a strategic plan for promoting tourism in the county – and violated Sunshine Law along the way.
The plan will be presented to the Gadsden County Board of Commissioners early next month, and was developed during recent TDC meetings that included representatives from the chamber and the TDC's marketing committee.
Gadsden Hospital Inc., the board of directors for Gadsden Memorial Hospital, voted unanimously Monday afternoon to recommend that negotiations begin immediately with Hospital Corporation of America to operate the hospital when it reopens.
Hospital Corporation of American is the largest owner of hospitals in the nation and operates Capital Regional Medical Center in Tallahassee.
The Gadsden County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Sept. 29 to allow exclusive negotiations with Hospital Corporation of America regarding the reopening and operation of Gadsden Memorial Hospital. HCA operates more than 40 hospitals in Florida – the nearest is Capital Regional Medical Center in Tallahassee.
If Quincy city commissioners agree, fire protection will be extended county-wide for the next 5 years at an annual cost of $405,000. Under the new proposed fire contract between Quincy and the Gadsden County Board of Commissioners, the city has the option to revisit the contract in 3 years.
Florida's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for August is 10.7 percent, according to a press release from the Agency for Workforce Innovation – higher than the 9.3 percent reported in Gadsden County.
The unemployment rate in Gadsden County in July was 9.9 percent, considerably higher than the 6.7 percent reported in August 2008.
Three people were caught at the scene while attempting to take copper tubing from Big Bend Jai Alai Fronton on Flat Creek Road near Greensboro Sept. 25.
Arrested and charged with burglary were Norman McCallister, 25, of Panacea; Timothy Hamilton II, 24, of Chattahoochee; and Chastity Freeman, 24, of Tallahassee.

A sweet 1920's cottage became our home
The inside of the cottage. I love the colour of this room and would like to paint our bedroom a similar colour one day, too (been considering this forever now - and the perfect shade of yellowy cream).
Addie hanging out on the front steps. Hello!
Because we are still not settled on Adelaide's official full name, Addie doesn't yet have a passport and so we are unable to fly out of Canada with her. I am so torn on this, as Charles and I do not have the same last name and Addie and I do not have the same last name. I suppose that it may seem silly to some, but this makes me feel so very uneasy and strange - that my daughter and I are not linked in this way. Her small birth certificate has no mention of me and it makes me uncomfortable... I feel like in some ways, officially, I have no way to prove she belongs with me. Which is strange, because Addie and I are such a team - we are always together and rarely ever apart.
We've had the papers to change Adelaide's name to include my surname (I believe as a third name, rather than her having a long and hyphenated last name). Sometimes I think, "oh forget about it", and just want to go get her passport already. But this feeling down in my heart is there and it doesn't feel right. I am not sure if I should just get over myself or if my feelings have some merit. Has anyone reading this ever struggled with this?

BELLWOOD - Returning four starters and 10 letterwinners from last year's 20-4 squad, coach Jim Swaney has high expectations for his Bellwood-Antis Lady Blue Devils this year.
If their season opener is any indication, Swaney's team stands to make their coach pretty happy.
Bellwood jumped out to an early 10-2 lead and never looked back, cruising to a 69-43 win over Tyrone Satuday night in their home opener.
The Lady Blue Devils used a smothering full-court press and tight on-ball pressure to force 24 Lady Golden Eagle turnovers, 15 of which came in the first half and 11 in the second quarter alone.
The home team's relentless defense was no accident. Swaney said his top "key to win" on the locker-room board read "Create tempo with pressure."
"We were ready for their press," Tyrone coach Luke Rhoades said. "We just didn't execute. They're very fast, very disciplined."
He added that it was tough to replicate Bellwood's pressure in practice.
The success of that pressure was due in large part to the efforts of Bellwood's backcourt duo of Ana Hollen and Ellen Crook.
Crook collected five steals and six points before leaving the court with a knee injury after a collision at around the three-minute mark of the fourth quarter, with her team leading 65-43.
She was wearing a brace on the knee after an ACL tear during the 2010-2011 season. Visibly upset, Swaney said the team would have to wait and see how badly the junior guard was injured.
"It's a blow for us because she's our point guard; she's our leader," he said. "She creates a lot for us with her defense and her pressure. It's hard to replace the intangibles she brings."
Bellwood complemented its defensive play with a balanced attack on offense. Hollen, a sophomore, finished with a game-high 20 points while senior Katy Leamer added 15 points and six assists.
Junior Bailey Swogger added 13 points, four steals, and seven rebounds. Sophomore Selena Damiano chipped in 11 points and seven boards.
Tyrone, which wore pink uniforms for breast cancer awareness, stayed with the Lady Blue Devils in the first quarter, trailing by just five with 20 seconds left in the period.
Then Hollen drilled one of her five 3-pointers to put Bellwood up 19-11 to end the quarter, and Tyrone never got any closer. The Lady Blue Devils kept extending their lead. With her team up by 10 two minutes into the second quarter, Crook hit a 3-pointer and then stole Tyrone's inbounds pass, dishing it to Leamer for a layup and giving the home team a comfortable lead they never relinquished.
Tyrone had some trouble finding the rim in the first half, shooting just 26 percent from the field. The second half saw the Lady Golden Eagles put up just 12 shots, eight of which fell. Nicole Gripp led Tyrone with 15 points while Alayna Hettinger added 10. Freshman Finnley Christine came off the bench for nine.
"We need more out of our starting lineup point-wise," Rhoades said. "[Bellwood] is one of the top teams in [Class]-AA. We know what we need to work on if we want to be competitive in the playoffs."
"Our goals are very simple," Swaney said. "We're a veteran basketball team. We believe we should be challenging for league and district titles."

Primarily letters written by Garland to Zulime Mauna (Taft) Garland, Mary Isabel (Garland) Johnson Lord, and Constance (Garland) Harper Doyle. The letters chiefly contain biographical information on Garland: his literary activities while on the lecture circuit, books and articles in progress, work with publishers, and general family matters. His business correspondence is concentrated in the years 1930-1940.
Born in 1860 and raised on farms in Wisconsin and the mid-west, Hamlin Garland was provided early on with the practical experience of farm and mid-western life that was to become the foundation for his realistic style of writing. Both his fictional and non-fictional accounts of farm life were hailed by the literary world as thankful deviations from the romantic norms. In many ways, Garland was ahead of his time. Not only did his view of farm life as oppressive contrast with his contemporaries, but also his opinions regarding the status of women seem more likely to stem from the 1970's than the 1870's. Many critics of Garland lament what they see as his subsequent abandonment of the realistic fire of his youth after his marriage to Zulime Mauna (Taft) Garland in 1899. Others attribute the mellowing of his reformist fires to the natural mellowing of age. Still others state that he never gave up his radical views in favor of more mainstream (and hence more publishable and profitable) ideas; he merely presented his realistic views in a more subtle manner. However, none can contest the fact that Garland's later work certainly seemed to look back on mid-western farm life rather selectively and with at least rose-tined, if not rose-colored, glasses.

WSJ Photos: Times Square Installation Focuses on Barriers Between People
A Cuban artist is encouraging visitors of one of New York City's busiest strips to think about the barriers between people.
An installation of 17 life-sized sculptures made of steel, iron and concrete and incorporating human cutouts of different sizes by artist Arlés del Rio was unveiled at Times Square Tuesday. Titled "Nearness," the installation will be on display at different locations in the busy tourist spot until Aug. 18.
Visitors can walk through the cutouts, which represent "the social, political, cultural and personal barriers that keep us away from one another," according to a press release for the event. The artist "uses space and physical barriers to force visitors to focus on breaking through what is forbidden to achieve what they long for."
People pose for photos in some of the 17 sculptures. The installation is presented by Times Square Arts in partnership with the Cuban Artists Fund.

Family returns puppy after realizing it was stolen from Petland
Update: Petland owner Lisa Abair said she is hoping others who may have bought a stolen puppy will come forward. The puppies can be identified through their microchips.
"It's not like they are going to lose the puppy," she said. "We just want to make sure they are OK."
Abair described the family who came forward with the stolen puppy as "awesome." Petland took the puppy back so it could be checked by a veterinarian and get its vaccinations. The family will get the puppy back soon.
"They've had the puppy for a couple weeks, so they've already, of course, bonded with the puppy," she said. "It's part of their family."
The 12-week-old puppy is named Harley. The family has asked to remain anonymous.
Original: One of the puppies stolen from Petland earlier this month has been recovered, Plano police announced today.
Police officials said a family recognized Darrell Wayne Ramirez of McKinney on the news as the man who sold them their puppy. Ramirez was arrested last week in connection with the theft of nine puppies from Petland locations in Plano and Frisco. His accomplice is still at large. Click here to see the surveillance video of the Plano burglary that occurred Oct. 8.
The family told police they purchased the soft-coated wheaten terrier for their 4-year-old daughter and didn't realize it had been stolen. The puppy was positively identified through a technology chip. The family will not be charged with any crime.
The puppy was returned to Petland, but police say Petland plans to return the puppy to the family at no charge because they did the right thing and returned it. The puppy has a retail value of $1,500.
In a news release, Plano police said: "We still have no leads on the other missing puppies and are urging our citizens to follow the example of this family by returning the stolen puppies if they suspect they have one."
People who suspect they have one of the stolen puppies can take them to a veterinarian or animal shelter to be scanned for a chip.
Ramirez, 27, remains jailed in Collin County. The case remains under investigation.

Oops, something didn't work.
As a c# developer coming from the java world. I have taught myself to be better at reading the code then documentation. The only way to be really sure what is going on is to go to the signature and read the code.
From that stand point having the source for a lot of the .Net framework libraries, would really improve my understanding of what really is going on with the program. Especially in the case of obscure bugs where you're just not sure if the framework classes are holding up their end of the bargain.
With the incomplete and often buggy nature of the framework libraries, this is not as trivial as it might appear at first glance.
Competetive advantage is not created and sustained by semicolons and angle brackets, but rather through innovation and the ability to execute and maintain a strong vision.
I'm sick of hearing this argument... it's so 90's.
I think you've maybe missed the Pink Elephant in the room. the transparency that would help most developers is the API, even the beaurocrats in the EU seem to grasp this singular point, sure some MBA will say that having hidden APIs for your own apps is a competitive advantage, the rest of the IT world looks at it and bells sound and people start exploring other software solutions, sure maybe you maximise some short term gains, but do you want to risk the medium and long term future of the corp?
From my own personal perspective, I couldn't care less about the source code for tools such as VS.NET - however, I do feel that the full source code for the various System namespaces in .NET should be made available as with the JDK.
Moreover, they should be released under a completely non-restrictive license (possibly BSD style) so that projects like Mono and dotGNU could make full use of them.
Should revenue even be an issue? Can't an evolved revenue stream be envisioned in a completely transparent model?
Really its all about Developer Relations and developers love code. Especially those migrating from JAVA/UNIX.
Besides, its REALLY annoying and counter-productive to have to 'guess' how an algorithm operates through trial-and-error, reverse compilation or other devious means. And I find we do this on a daily basis: which sort is being used, how is HSL color computed, what method of serialization is employed, etc.
Please, spare us.
Doing commercial software these days is like doind battles in old times: small advantages leads to the victory. Keeping core technology code undisclosed is undoubtedly one important advantage that Microsoft must keep.
As a developer, I was almost always wandering how that feature is done, why that option didn't work how I expect to, why they don't publish examples of using the last design interface features and so on. The truth is that we couldn't have them all for free.
Since .Net comed up, Microsoft changed his policy regarding community support. Non Microsoft comunity and open source projects proved that community is the key. Thanks to few open minded people inside, they will recover the lost market shortly.
In web development, I have started as a PHP developer. At this time, as you know, PHP community is still larger than ASP.NET community. Some time ago, when Zend boys started to design Zend 2.0 engine, I have asked them why they don't include modern features like namespaces and coherent OOP implementation. In return their response sounded like: the purpose of PHP as scripting language is not to do that. That makes me to embrace .NET definitely. And I was never wrong till now.
So helping developers through community support is enough for me these days. Who whants more must rise the stake: go inside Micrososft and work at the source of all sources.
This is my first post - be gentle.
I'd just like to say that while it's more or less true that "Source code IS the ultimate documentation," there are some downsides to this approach. For starters, I don't have time to go through every piece of source when looking how to use a library. As part of a "Code Factory" organisation, what I need is complete and reliable documentation on what to use in which situations, and how to use some of the more obtuse options in otherwise well documented libraries to solve real world problems.
Knowing how to make complete use of all of the functionality available in a given tool is more important to me than knowing how the tools were written. Microsoft pays a large number of people who know what they're doing to handle bug-fixes and tuning. I'm pretty certain that (as a casual client-side coder) any attempt I made to fix or tune the CLR would create more problems than it solved. And ultimately, in a large corporate applications factory, you're only as good as the last crisis you caused.
Of course, this is only my $0.02. YMMV.

IN A REVIEW of the literature concerning rupture of the stomach in the newborn infant, Herbut1 found 15 cases occurring prior to 1943 and reported a 16th case. Since that time, additional cases have been reported by Pendergrass and Booth,2 Burnett and Halpert,3 Tudor,4 Wright and Scott,5 Leger and co-workers,6 Gottlieb and co-workers,7 Ross and co-workers8 (2 cases), Potter9 (3 cases), and Greene and Gose10 (2 cases), bringing the total of reported cases to 29.
The most frequent cause for the rupture would appear to be peptic ulceration. Thus, in 14 of the cases cited by Herbut and in 5 cases reported since that time,* the rupture was believed secondary to peptic ulceration. One of these7 was associated with intracranial hemorrhage. In three cases,† a congenital defect in the musculature of the stomach was believed responsible for the rupture,

Rated 5 out of 5 by BonsGirl GREAT "MINI" TOTE! Purchased as a gift, but while wrapping it, noticed that it's not so "mini". Or at least the mini I was expecting! I was expecting a smaller arm purse, but this is the perfect size. I loved the buttons on the sides that can change the size of the purse. The lining inside is great, with two pockets inside, my cell phone would not fit in the smaller pocket, but other phones may, it did however, fit in the other pocket and the outside nylon seems really durable as do the handles. They are not flimsy and will definitely not fall off the shoulder, very sturdy. I will more than likely purchase one for myself :-) April 6, 2016

These are our kids. We do not leave them behind when the school doors close.
As a preschool teacher in a tight-knit town, I carry my cherubs in my heart and mind around the clock. I wake up with new ideas for their morning activities. I know what their favorite colors are, whether they like bear hugs, their favorite games to play. I've taught many of their siblings. I know the serious stuff, too – who is allergic to peanuts, who has attention difficulties, whose parents are splitting up.
While they are with me, their safety is paramount. I'm always counting heads. But one thing that had never crossed my mind until the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School: whether one of my classes of a dozen 3- and 4-year-olds could fit into the bathroom.
In my 11 years of teaching, I've never been more proud of my profession. Or more saddened for a town similar to mine that thrives on a daisy chain of support among families, friends, teachers and other professionals.
Hours after Sandy Hook teacher Kaitlin Roig barricaded her first-graders in a bathroom to shield them from gunshots, she shared her story on television:
"I put one of my students on top of the toilet," she recalled on ABC News. "I was telling them, it's going to be OK, you're going to be all right. I told them to be absolutely quiet because I was just so afraid if he did come in, he would hear us and start shooting the door. I said there are bad guys out there now. We need to wait for the good guys."
Think brave thoughts. Read books. Draw and color. Stay close. Know that you're loved. Show me your smile. Those were the basics that many of Sandy Hook's teachers used to try to create calm amid chaos at a school under siege.
The "good guys" came, and continue to come. Told and retold are the heroic stories of the beloved principal and five women on her staff who gave up their lives trying to save their students. Memories have been shared about the goodness and delight of 20 children whose families and teachers adored them and always will. Their favorite colors, their favorite games, what they wanted to be when they grew up, who had a wiggly tooth and who had already lost two teeth – all the things that are important when you're 6 or 7. It's all part of history now.
My son is 23. But my kids are only 3 and 4. If I've taught them anything this school year, it's that the "good guys" are on their side. Think brave thoughts. Read books. Stay close. Show me your smile. And know that you are loved.

A hilarious op-ed column about politics appeared in The New York Times as the 2012 presidential election was winding down � in other words, just when we desperately needed comic relief. The off-the-wall columnist was identified as John Kenney, �author of the forthcoming novel, Truth in Advertising.� Better keep an eye out for that book, I figured.
As expected, this debut novel reads at times as a laugh-out-loud standup routine. What sustains it, though, is much more substantial: An engaging, believable plot, a fascinating if jaundiced view inside the contemporary world of New York advertising, and most of all, a lead character you�re glad you get to know, even if doing so becomes infuriating at times.
Kenney, who spent many years as an ad copywriter, introduces us to Finbar Dolan, a longtime toiler in those same vineyards. Encouraged to �make his mark� with promotions for assorted banal products � including the creation of a Super Bowl ad for a �revolutionary� brand of disposable diapers, which drives a central part of the plot � Dolan expresses ambivalence. On the one hand, he wants a promotion and sometimes even catches a whiff of the creative rush that drew him to advertising in the first place, but basically he�s a 39-year-old who knows too much, a realist even in the midst of his natural escapism.
�How do you see the world?� Dolan muses at one point. �Is there music underscoring scenes of your life? Do you slow things down for intensity and drama? Speed them up for comedy? Do you rewrite dialogue, if, say, you�ve had a fight with your boss or your wife or some jackass who cut the line at Dunkin� Donuts? In the rewrites are you far wittier, far more bold? I do, and I am. It makes life more interesting for me, gives me a wonderful sense of false empowerment. And yet I know I miss the far more interesting narratives, the narratives I will never know, of strangers ...�
Likable, clever, complex Fin Dolan � a guy anybody would love to have in the office � is also, we gradually learn, dragging around a major demon: A shattering story of his family life growing up in Boston that he has been trying to leave behind for decades.
It forces its way to the surface when he learns that his estranged father is dying and realizes that only he, among the man�s children, each damaged in a different way, feels anything like obligation to get involved.
It�s a measure of Kenney�s writing talent that the regular gusts of delicious, smart-alecky ad agency banter among Dolan and his witty comrades and the painful-to-read scenes depicting the toxic relations among siblings feel equally real in this novel.
Another measure is the sophistication of Kenney�s commentary, through Dolan, about modern life.
�I read somewhere,� Dolan soliloquizes at one point, �that on average, each of us is exposed to something like 5,000 advertising messages a day. If you sleep for eight hours that�s something like 312 messages � commercials, print ads, web banners, T-shirt logos, coffee cup sleeves, sneaker swooshes � an hour. ... Logos everywhere. What do they mean? Is anyone listening? While you�re thinking about that, have a Coke and a smile.�
Oh, and there�s a love story tucked into this novel, too. You like Phoebe as much as you like Fin, you root for them, and it drives you nuts when � no, that would be telling too much. Suffice to say that the progress of their relationship, as the other plotlines, encounters abrupt, unforeseen turns � but ones you can believe as this smart, cinematic story carries you along.
