With a pitching rotation that includes stalwarts Joey Gorman and Joe Kinee, John LaMotta has had few chances to shine for Neumann-Goretti.
On Friday, when the junior righthander's moment finally did arrive, it seemed that it might never end.
In a Catholic League playoff semifinal against Monsignor Bonner that took 14 innings to complete, LaMotta, coming on in relief in the sixth frame and finishing the job, helped the Saints outlast the Friars, 8-7, at Widener University.
"Coach [Joe] Messina had told me a couple of days before the game that the team might need me," he said. "I was ready to go. I just had no idea that I would get as many innings as I did. It was pretty wild."

MONROE — Monroe Public Schools officials on Tuesday night gave unanimous approval to sending pink slips to the district's entire staff of teachers, principals, and other administrators.
The notice of the layoffs to 343 teachers and 19 administrators was done to comply with union contracts that require providing 60-day notices to employees that they could lose their jobs.
Superintendent Randy Monday said the district needed to take the drastic measures while it sorts through planning needed for next year's budget and funding cuts proposed in Gov. Rick Snyder's budget.
The school district could be looking at up to a $5.6 million deficit, in part, because of the governor's plan to cut funding by $470 per student. Mr. Monday said that most of the employees who are being laid off would be called back to work.
Nearly 500 people attended the meeting in the Middle School, and many of those in the audience attended an earlier rally outside the building to protest cuts in education funding that Gov. Snyder has proposed.

Exotic Creature Artist
Blake is known for his paintings of exotic creatures from around the world surrounded in their natural habitats. Through his extensive life traveling experiences since childhood that took him to far reaches of the globe, he has developed his abilities to observe the unique features of these creatures and the environment from which they are found and live in. He then captures and transfers these images into his paintings and tries to convey a special message through his fine art work of exotic creatures as it relates to our lives as humans so we may feel more connected with nature.
Each painting is carefully created in all aspects and tries to give you a sense of amazement, and a familiar perspective as it relates to your own life.
His goal is to bring you closer to nature as you look at each of his exotic creature paintings and start to feel the connection we share with the wild animal kingdom.

Viral Video: When Did You Choose to Be Straight?Joslyn Gray
This video of street interviews is from 2008, but is suddenly making the rounds this week. It's brilliant and simple at the same time, and I think it's a good one to share with our tweens and teens. In the video, people are asked whether they believe that people are born gay, or if they choose to be.
The follow-up question is really the part that makes people think: "When did you choose to be straight?"
My older daughters are in middle school now, and they see kids being bullied for even appearing to be gay. This bullying is socially acceptable in a way that other kinds of discrimination would never be tolerated, even by sixth graders. And far too many adults look the other way, sending bullies the message that this is all a-ok with them.
Recently, some middle school students had taken to yelling slurs at one of my daughters' friends. The words they chose indicated that they believed he was LGBT, and, shall we say, that they didn't think this was a good thing. They were yelling these words out of school bus windows, and it happened more than once.
In our society, we don't allow people to be discriminated against for the way they are born: not for the skin color they were born with, not for the disabilities they were born with; not for the heritage they were born with. Had those bullies used a racial slur, I'm 100 percent sure the bus driver would have written up the perpetrators. Instead, it was reported by two 11-year-old girls.
We're the parents, we're the adults, and we can't look the other way when kids are hateful to one another. If we don't step up, we're letting it happen.

Chicago is a city known for a variety of characteristics: innovative architecture, deep cultural and musical roots, the headstrong pride of its inhabitants—of course—its numerous tourist attractions.
The top Chicago attractions are as vast and varied as the city wherein they reside. This makes Chicago a fun and dynamic vacation destination for visitors because there's always something new to do and something everyone in the family will enjoy. Moreover, you can see all the sites for one low price with a convenient Chicago attractions pass.
Must-See Attractions for First-Time Visitors
If you're new to Chicago, there are certain attractions that lay the foundation for a spectacular trip. For starters, any tourist new to the city should get a view from above via the famous Willis Tower SkyDeck Chicago (atop the former Sears Tower). Not only is Willis Tower the tallest building in the entire Western Hemisphere, it also offers unparalleled views of one of the nation's most celebrated skyscapes from the thrilling all-glass balcony known as "The Ledge."
When you've had your fair share of heights, head on down to Chicago's Navy Pier, Chicago's #1 tourist attraction, which actually houses many top attractions! On the 3,000+ foot pier that extends out into the enormous Lake Michigan, you'll find a full amusement park, many popular restaurants, an arcade, The Chicago Children's Museum, and even an
IMAX theater.
Rounding out the list of must-see attractions, the Art Institute of Chicago can't be forgotten. Recently named one of the Top 25 Museums in the United States by TripAdvisor, the Art Institute is the nation's second-largest museum and arguably home to the most impressive and certainly one of the most expansive art collections. From the architectural ingenuity of Frank Lloyd Wright, to the ornate craftsmanship of ancient Egyptians Greeks, and Romans, to the innovation of well-known modern artists like Picasso, Matisse, and O'Keeffe, you'll find it all in this giant collection, creativity and mastery are the themes that tie all the Art Institutes exhibits together.
Museum Campus
A visit to Museum Campus is great for families with kids, tourists who want to see a lot in one day, science enthusiasts, and of course, museum lovers! In this 57-acre greenspace that constitutes the southeast corner of Grant Park, you'll find three beloved Chicago institutions: Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum, and Adler Planetarium. From the depths of the sea to the infinite scope of outer space, these three museums cover every angle when it comes to the natural sciences. It's easy to hop in between all three, so one day can include the opportunity to touch a shark, see a T-Rex, and take a simulated journey into another galaxy.
More Chicago Attractions
While these are some of the most notable Chicago attractions, there's so much more to do and see in Chicago. Use a Chicago attractions pass to take advantage of it all, from the best of Magnificent Mile to the Lincoln Park Zoo. With a Chicago attractions pass, there's no need to choose which of the 27 included attractions you'll be visiting in advance, so affordability and flexibility are both top priorities!

Hamilton, Frieri come through for the Angels
Josh Hamilton's homer and Ernesto Frieri's strong outing push the Angels to a walk-off win over Astros.
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- It was another throwback night at Angel Stadium with the Halos wearing the 1960's edition of their uniforms and a Beatles' tribute band providing nostalgic postgame entertainment.
The nostalgia wasn't limited to the baseball aesthetics Saturday night as a pair of
Angels showed a resurrection of their former greatness.
Josh Hamilton -- who has battled through the toughest year of a brilliant career -- hit a walk-off home run in the 10th inning to give
Los Angeles a 6-5 win over the Houston Astros.
It was the 18th homer of the season for the outfielder signed by the Halos for five years and $125 million during the offseason. Thats 25 fewer bombs than he hit during the 2012 season, when he blasted 43 while driving in 128 runs.
Arriving in Anaheim with Hamilton were expectations of an MVP award and possible World Series appearance, but it has been disappointment at nearly every corner Hamilton has turned.
But he's the type of player who usually thrives in big moments as he's shown ever since coming to grips with drug and alcohol dependencies. And the game winner brought back memories of recent triumphs the moment he crushed the Josh Fields' breaking ball over the wall.
"You never forget how it feels to get a hit like that," said the 32 year-old Hamilton. "It never gets old and any time you can do something like that in that type of situation to help your team win a game and hear the crowd roar, that's always a good thing."
Hamilton wasn't the only Halo who returned to form -- even if just for a moment.
Closer Ernesto Frieri (1-4, 26 saves), who has seen his ERA jump nearly two full runs (2.76 to 4.41) in the past month while losing three games and blowing two saves, came through with a pair of scoreless innings to win his first game of the season.
Frieri had admitted he had lost most of his confidence during that bad stretch, but thinks he finally has things figured out.
"I've got (my confidence) back and I've got my fastball back," Frieri said, who has mostly been outstanding for the Halos since being acquired from San Diego last season.
"I've been working a lot on my mechanics during (this last month) -- I also worked on my breaking ball and fastball too. I just wanted to make sure that when I was called in, I'd be ready to perform. It made me really happy to come into a situation like that and pitch the way I did. I feel good about our team and the way we played tonight."
Four strikeouts and a win in two innings pitched say that the diligent work paid off.
NOTES -- Another Angel responded to his first day off of the season to get the Angels off to a good start. First baseman Mark Trumbo sat out Friday's loss to the Astros, then drove in the first three runs of Saturday's game with a home run -- his 27th -- and a two-run triple in his first two at bats.
The game might have ended differently had the umpiring crew not overturned a potential double by Houston's L.J. Hoes in the top of the ninth inning with the score tied at 5 each. After initially being called safe, Scioscia protested that Erick Aybar had tagged Hoes out before he got to second base. The umpires agreed and the next two Houston batters struck out to send the game into extra innings.

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is vowing to "destroy" those responsible for Monday's terror attacks on Moscow's subway system.
At least 37 people are dead and 65 injured after two bombs were set off. Authorities say two female suicide bombers blew themselves up on the subway while it was packed with Monday morning rush-hour passengers.Click play for an update with CBN News Reporter Dale Hurd. Also, click here for insight from CBN News Terrorism Analyst Erick Stakelbeck.
The explosions happened 45 minutes apart, with the first blast occurring just before 8.a.m., between the Lubyanka and Okhotny Ryad stations.
The Lubyanka station runs below the building that houses the headquarters of the Federal Security Service, the agency that succeeded the KGB.
"I heard a bang, turned my head and smoke was everywhere. People ran for the exits screaming," said 24-year-old Alexander Vakulov.
"I saw a dead person for the first time in my life," said 19-year-old Valentin Popov, who had just arrived at the station from the opposite direction.
Chechen rebels are claiming responsibility for Monday's attacks.
The last confirmed terrorist attack in Moscow took place in 2004 when another suicide bomber killed 10 people outside a subway station.
Moscow's subway carries an average of 7 million passengers each day.

Jensen Ackles Teams Up with Supernatural Costar Jared Padalecki to Raise Mental Health Awareness (Plus, What's in Store for the Finale)

With his charity campaign "Always Keep Fighting," Supernatural star Jared Padalecki raised ample funds for To Write Love on Her Arms, a non-profit organization that helps those struggling with depression, addiction and suicidal ideation. However, he was most keenly interested in destigmatizing mental illness following the suicide of a close friend.
Thanks to the help of the Supernatural fandom, which continues to thrive even as the show gears up for its 10th season finale, the T-shirt campaign was a rousing success.
Now, Padalecki and costar Jensen Ackles have joined forces. The two have set up a joint, donor-advised fund – "a junior version of a foundation," Ackles tells PEOPLE – to support a variety of like causes that, chiefly, work to help those suffering from mental illness and mood disorders, among other causes. In the future, the pair may even decide to partner up with costar Misha Collins' foundation, Random Acts, but Ackles tells PEOPLE that they're just getting their feet wet with their "junior foundation" for now.
In a chat with PEOPLE, Ackles, 37, reveals his personal reasons for joining the charitable fray and how he helped Padalecki when he "went down a dark road" while filming the third season of Supernatural. Ackles also shares that he, too, has dealt with these issues and says it's not only important to have somebody in your life to listen to you when things get dark, but also to have the courage to reach out and ask for help.
These issues are also germane to Ackles' current plotline on Supernatural as his character, Dean, fights against the Mark of Cain which, without a cure, may overtake him completely. (Yes, don't worry – we also chatted about what's next for the Winchester brothers.)

In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE, the actor, 40, reveals why the mission is so important to him and how having two children of his own – West, 4, and Maison, 2, with wife Victoria Vantoch – has altered his perspective when it comes to his charity work.
Collins also discusses his character's storyline on Supernatural and what it's like to work with Jared Padalecki, whose on-set antics are the stuff of Supernatural legend. ("There are times," Collins acknowledges, "when Jared is not somehow molesting me below the [camera's] frame.")

Photograph, portrait of Louise Jopling Rowe (1843-1933)
Frederick Hollyer (1838-1933)
About 1890
Museum no. 7788-1938
This portrait is of the Louise Jopling Rowe (1843-1933), one of the best known female painters of the Victorian era. She is shown here at 47 years old, when she was already interested in 'rational' dress - a dress movement that eschewed heavy bustles, massive crinoline skirts and tight corsetry. At the turn of the century she served as vice-president of the Healthy and Artistic Dress Union, which championed this less restrictive mode of dress. The dress she is wearing here has several features of artistic dress. The silhouette is very simple and unfussy, and the dress is loosely corseted or not at all - a distinctely unusual feature during the 1890s.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — This endless winter is forecast to stretch beyond even the shortened month of February and at least until the first week in March, making it impossible to put away those gloves just yet.
Conditions similar to early January again are shaping up toward the middle of this week. The so-called "polar vortex" encompassing the Arctic is positioned to usher in some brutally cold air, with some locations dipping below zero degrees overnight.
Here's a rundown of afternoon highs and nighttime lows from the National Weather Service for the week ahead to provide enough time to put on a coat:
Tuesday: High 20, low 5
Wednesday: High 12, low 3
Thursday: High 14, low minus 3
"Just to put those temperatures in perspective," Weather Service meteorologist T.J. Turnage said, "our normal high for this year is 36 with a low of 22.
"We're talking about 20 or more below normal, (with) that amazing blast of air ... and another impressive shot coming by the end of the week just reinforces it."
Compared to January when average highs were colder than what they are now, this new blast of arctic air is unique considering it's coming toward the later half of the winter season. Bearing this in mind, it's possible records could be broken, Turnage said.
Wind chill readings will need to be watched, too, with some temperatures dipping into the minus teens. All these conditions might be enough to begin another ramp up of lake ice.
Related: 'Sea of diamonds': Lake Michigan's icy shore a spectacular, dangerous sight for onlookers
Long-term forecasts beyond this week indicate a cooler than average weather pattern into March, though perhaps not as cold as this week, Turnage said. And occasionally, a day or two with above-average temperatures might give us the solace we need to make that final push into spring.

With her 1-year-old, Ayrton, down for his afternoon nap, and son Kaleo, 5, happily engrossed in a computer game, Gretchen Cardoso reaches for her mallet. Positioning a metal stamp over a thick leather strip, she begins to pound, marking it with an imprint of her own design, a breaking wave.
Cardoso's Makawao home is filled with the tools and materials of her newfound passion - on any given day you might find a braided coil of rawhide bullwhip on her kitchen table, a half-finished saddle in her garage, a pair of deer hides tanning in the backyard.
Growing up in Portland, Ore., before moving to Maui in 1999 with her husband, Danny, the 33-year-old Cardoso might seem an unlikely person to take up the tradition of Hawaiian leatherwork.
Article Photos
Gretchen Cardoso takes advantage of a quiet moment to work on her latest project.
ILIMA LOOMIS photo
Cardoso models a pair of deer-hide chaps. She credits the idea of leaving the hair on to family friend Ashley Borsum, who requested the style for her 2009 Miss Rodeo Hawaii chaps.

Cardoso designs and shapes her own stamps for her leatherwork projects, including for use on the multicolored hibiscus flowers she displays.
ILIMA LOOMIS photo
Cardoso got her first close-up look at a handmade Hawaiian saddle about four years ago. A professional farrier (someone who shoes horses and cares for their hooves), Cardoso is a lifelong horsewoman whose own horse, Hotske, is an unusual breed with a back that few commercially made saddles fit.
"Leatherwork sounded kind of cool," she says. "It just got me thinking."
Cardoso had begun "doodling around" with different designs on a few scraps of leather when her work caught the attention of family friend Ashley Borsum. When Borsum needed a new pair of chaps to wear as Miss Rodeo Hawaii, she called on Cardoso, along with experienced island leatherworkers Pat Tavares and Merton Kekiwi Sr., who teamed up on the project.
The chaps were a hit, and Cardoso was hooked.
"It's still a little hard to explain where my passion came from," she says. "I just felt that the Hawaiian style of saddles and leatherwork, and the history of ranching here was so unique. Maybe it takes fresh eyes from the Mainland to realize how special it is and want to preserve it."
Hawaiian cowboys, or paniolo, developed their own distinctive style of leatherwork and saddle-making, with the most unique feature being a way of draping the pommel and horn of the saddle with a single piece of rawhide, which is tied by braided tassels to the girth that holds it on the horse's body.
Once her interest was sparked, Cardoso set about learning as much as she could about the history of the craft and how to do it. But it was harder than it looked. Not much information was available online, and since Cardoso wasn't from Maui she didn't have ready access to kupuna who could pass on their knowledge.
She started by renting instructional videos online to learn the basics of leatherwork, then dove into the craft to learn by trial and error. Once she started making things, Cardoso said, the real experts finally started coming "out of the woodwork" to answer questions and offer advice.
"I've learned that if I want to ask somebody about something, I need to make an attempt at it first, like make a whip and then bring it to them to critique," she says. "I get so much more information about how to do it if I make one for them to look at than if I just ask them for advice off the top of their head."
It was Maui leatherworker Henry Silva, renowned for his knowledge of traditional rawhide-braiding techniques, who advised Cardoso to try working with axis deer hides - a material she now prefers because its strength and thinness allow for tighter and more intricate braiding. Plus, "it's definitely available," she notes.
As she's progressed with guidance from Silva, Kekiwi, Tavares and other experts, Cardoso has sought to pass on and preserve what she's learned. She's produced around 20 instructional videos that she makes available on her YouTube channel, MauiFarrier. Her 25-minute documentary on Maui saddles can be viewed at www.vimeo.com/50569227.
"I want to help keep it going," she says. "Being in our 30s, we kind of bridge the gap between the kupuna and the youngest generation, who looks to the Internet first to learn something."
Cardoso is also working with two King Kekaulike High School students who are making Hawaiian saddles for their senior projects. And she's also reaching out to the very youngest generation - son Kaleo already enjoys stamping patterns on his own scraps of leather.
So far, Cardoso has made four saddles for herself and others and is working on a fifth. What began as a personal hobby has expanded to a small side business, as she has begun accepting commissions to create saddles, belts, chaps and other items, and she even gets some calls to repair handbags or design personalized wallets.
But, she says, the biggest reward of her journey has been the opportunity to meet and spend time with some of Maui's real paniolo.
"It's kind of all about the people," she says. "The craft is an expression of the people and the culture."

Circa 1948 Babe Ruth Figural Radio
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $2,610.00
Although familiar in form, this Babe Ruth figural radio is much scarcer than the nearly identically designed Babe Ruth electric desk clocks produced in the 1940s. Like its more common cousin, the offered radio is also produced by Abbotwares and features a large bust of Ruth displayed on the top. Flanking the bust are two baseballs, on which are recorded his single-season and lifetime home run records, respectively. A station knob and volume control knob are located on the front panel. The Ruth electric clocks were originally offered as top prizes in a baseball punch board game, circa 1948 (they were probably offered for sale as well), and it is most likely that this piece also represented a similar prize. We have not tested the radio for fear of possibly damaging the piece (the original electrical wiring remains intact) and, as always when dealing with very old electrical pieces, we recommend that the winning bidder first have it examined by a qualified electrician prior to plugging it in. The surface of the base is worn, otherwise in Excellent condition. High quality, very substantial, and ideal for display with striking art deco-style base. Height: 10 inches. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500. SOLD FOR $2,610.00

Bacon and Egg Pie
This is a kiwi classic and it combines three of the things that we all love, pastry, bacon and eggs. A family staple for a lot of kiwi households and everyone has a different version that is no doubt 'the best'!
What you'll need-
2-3 sheets of pre-rolled puff pastry (enough to line and top a standard pie dish or similar) at room temperature
400g of lean bacon (fat and rind removed) roughly chopped
8 eggs
1 Medium diced Brown Onion
1/2 a cup of grated cheese (use a little more if you like)
a small handful of fresh chopped parsley
where to start-
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celcius
Line your dish with baking paper and then pastry ensuring its pushed to the edges leaving excess pastry overhanging the outside.
In a bowl mix together 4 eggs, bacon, onion, cheese and parsley. Pour into your dish making sure the ingredients are distributed evenly throughout.
Crack the remaining eggs evenly over the ingredients already in the dish and prick the yolks so a little of it leaks out but it still maintains the white and yellow look (this looks great in your finished product but is however not nessicary).
Top the pie with the last of your pastry folding the top and bottom pastry together and glaze the top with a little egg, some milk or some olive oil spray (your choice). Prick the top with a sharp knife if you like.
Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, usually the top will be nice and golden by then and knife will come out clean. Each oven bakes differently so it is best to keep a close eye on it.
Some other ingredients that are popular in this pie are diced Tomatoes, Peas, Corn, Pineapple and Green Beans diced but I much prefer to keep it simple.
Eat immediately or alternatively, cool and freeze until a later date (this works very well and we recently did this for a birthday party).
This is a definite crowd pleaser and will be enjoyed by all!

LEWISTOWN - The idea of continuing to help the victims of the Juniata Terrace fire has been fully understood by an anonymous donor who recently gave $25,000 to the Juniata Valley Bank Fire account.
Marcie Barber, president and chief executive officer of the Juniata Valley Bank, facilitated the transaction of this gift.
"This donor was moved by the community's quick response to the immediate needs of the fire victims," Barber explained. "She was seeking assurance that all donations would reach the victims. Understanding our collaboration with the United Way, it was easy to provide this assurance. The donor is hopeful that the donation will encourage and inspire others to give."

An anonymous gift of $25,000 was given to the Juniata Valley Bank Fire Account for the victims of the Juniata Terrace fire. Thanking the donor, the community and area businesses for their support are, from left, Bill Conaway, Juniata Terrace Borough Council chair; Howard Jackson, American Red Cross volunteer; Nelson Rieffannacht, Goodwill store manager; Susie Cannon, Corvette America; Marie Mulvihill, United Way of Mifflin-Juniata executive director; Marcie Barber, president and chief executive officer of the Juniata Valley Bank; and Jen Metzgar, Philips Healthcare.
The Juniata Terrace fire definitely wakened the surrounding community's desire to help those affected. An abundance of donated clothing food and other goods have overwhelmed the still traumatized, but grateful fire victims. Recovery for the fire victims is deeply personal and different for each one, and likewise the timeline to reach recovery will differ. All those displaced are struggling with current housing needs and in some cases, an unknown future. The single best way to help these individuals deal with their personal needs and to move toward their individual healing is through financial support.
Local corporations contributing to the Juniata Valley Bank Fire Account include Corvette America and Philips Healthcare along with other businesses and organizations.
"This has been traumatizing to the whole borough," Bill Conway, council chair of Juniata Terrace Borough, said. "Recovery from this disaster won't be easy for the fire victims but the burden is lightened because of all the support from the community."
Fire marshal investigators estimate about $ 6 million in damage from the six-alarm fire. Special recognition and thanks to the fire, police, and emergency medical personnel who did an admirable job. The American Red Cross, a United Way partner agency, responded by assisting families, based on their needs with shelter, food, clothing, comfort kits and they continue to follow-up with families.
"The community donated to the JVB fire account with a expectation that these funds would get to the fire victims quickly," Barber said. "As donations are received, cashier's checks are cut on a weekly basis. The United way has been instrumental in maintaining the confidentiality of the victims and acting as a contact point for distribution. The hearts of people in Mifflin and Juniata counties are incredible."
Monetary donations can be made at all branches of JVB.

Chelsea will surely make a move during the January transfer window to improve upon their struggling defensive midfield.
While Chelsea currently sit atop the table in the Barclays Premier League, they still have vulnerabilities that will need to be addressed come January.
The most pressing of these concerns is the lack of a solid defensive midfielder who has both the physical and technical skills necessary to stop opposing attackers in their tracks.
There are a number of possible players who could come to Stamford Bridge in January.
Five of these possibilities, however, stand out amongst the rest.

Rubberist (Shiny)
Rubberist is the name of a magazine formerly published by Shiny Films Publications.
Like many of its comtemporary underground magazine publishers, Rubberist focused on the specific needs and desires of its core audience in the rubber fetishism underground community. It was mostly a listing for various actual participants and enthusiasts to share their experiences and expectations in the "rubber lifestyle". It also included colour photos of several participants as well as the occasional stories.
Shiny's Rubberist has a run of 35 known released issues.
This magazine later merged with rival publication Dressing for Pleasure and was restarted under the different title of "DFP and Rubberist" also known as DFP/Rubberist.
This magazine series is not to be confused with Rubberist from Atomage.

If you ask my kids what their favorite place in the world is … better even than Disneyland! … they will always answer: Whidbey Island.
Our friends have this glorious beach with a nearly-complete boathouse and it is where some of our very best memories have been made. We've been going since our oldest was 4 and Audrey was but a thought and to watch our kids all grow up together – exploring, building, creating, collecting, deepening their friendships, breathing in the ocean air, gaining independence, getting all banged up with cuts and scrapes and sore backs from hours of digging for clams or sand shrimp or just really deep holes – being active kids. It is the best thing a parent could ask for.
This weekend was shrimping weekend. An annual event where the dads head out early in the morning to capitalize on the 8 hour window that makes up the entire shrimping season.
No one but the dads are particularly into eating shrimp, but there's just something so enjoyable and simple about sourcing dinner from the sea. Whether it's shrimp or oysters or crab, it's just plain fun. Those beady eyes are pretty nasty, though, huh?!
It rained on and off for much of the weekend (typical northwest beach experience!) and still, it was just as memorable as always. Feeling thankful for weekends like this.
Note: So I don't often post about our everyday lives, what we've been up to, stuff about the kids. Little bits here and there, I guess, and lots of 'ordinary moments' on instagram, but mainly I write about home projects or crafts, design-related topics, my personal thoughts and what I'm working through, or just pretty things. I started out posting random moments from our family life but those have tapered off considerably over the past two years. Why? I'm not totally sure. Keeping our family life private, I suppose. Figuring out what I like to write about, what my thing is, working hard to make each post as valuable as possible for you. But between the HopeSpoken conference last month and watching American Blogger just the other night, I feel encouraged to share my story. More of it than I have been. Part of that is just regular family life. What we do, what its like to be a mom to these four right now, memorable moments worth capturing. I don't want to share to brag or show off or present a dreamy-looking-un-reality, but rather to let you in, see a little more of our life, and connect beyond just a love for pretty things or a simple craft. I'm not sure what that will look like, but probably just a post here or there that won't make it to the tutorials page or the freebies page or have any pinnable content. Just regular life. It should be fun.

Terry Foster today said that that report was not truthful. Bettman was actually pucshing for NBC to allow this in Detroit and Pittsburgh, he just wasn't pushing NBC hard enough.

Posted 09 June 2009 - 12:31 PM
They're wrong. I know that Bettman called NBC during the playoffs to try get them to allow the Pens to have an outdoor screen. The only people accusing the NHL is NBC they're trying to put the blame on them.
Eklund: NBC is now trying to pass this off as an NHL issue. IT IS NOT. They tried that with me at first as well.
An NHL source told me the following last night, " NBC has exclusive distribution rights in the United States -- so, absent NBC consent, Detroit doesn't have right to exhibit NBC or CBC feed. as long as NBC refuses to allow this practice, there's not much we can do about it. it certainly wouldn't be fair to Pittsburgh if Detroit did something Pittsburgh was not permitted to do. again, other than acknowledging NBC's legal and contractual rights, this has nothing to do with us."
Posted 09 June 2009 - 12:33 PM
Can't happen. The screen has already been torn down.
Posted 09 June 2009 - 01:04 PM
So, how quickly can we put together COBO VISION? Or heck, even Palace Vision? If the buildings were available that is... man, would have been great to know about this a few more days ago! LOL!

CBC is the better of the two. How can you simply only listen to a possible Stanley Cup clinching game. If NBC was my only option that is what I would be watching but I am fortunate to have the option of CBC. And you can just get another TV and be able to watch both the Tigers and the Red Wings.

Bring lawn chairs for outdoor viewing of Game 6 on the 9x12 foot screen that will come to life on the patio. An outdoor barbecue and beer stands will be available.
The big screen inside the City Theatre will also be open to offer additional viewing opportunities for Red Wings' fans with the ultimate TV experience!
On Hockeytown Cafe's three levels, fans can enjoy the game on one of the 30-plasma TVs.
The Red Wings' NAPA Pit Crew will be on hand with giveaways and the chance to win great Red Wings' prizes, including merchandise.

WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) - Maybe the bank robber needed the money to buy a watch. It would seem he needed one after arriving six minutes after the Guardian Credit Union in Waukesha closed. Police said a man wearing a ski mask entered the first set of doors at 5:36 p.m. Wednesday with a gun, apparently not realizing the bank was closed.
The second set of doors was locked and police were called but the man left before they arrived.
Waukesha Police Sgt. Jerry Habanek told The Freeman in Waukesha that police are reviewing security tapes and investigating. He said the robber could have planned poorly or possibly had another reason, like getting tied up in traffic.

A fire at a PPL substation on Charlestown Road in Manor Township, Lancaster County, left more than 7,000 people without electricity on Monday.
Emergency workers also had to direct traffic at several busy Lancaster County intersections where traffic lights were dark.
A PPL spokesperson told News 8 that the cause of the fire is not known.
Two broken circuit breakers were found when they arrived at the scene. The problem is still being fixed.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Complete Genomics has agreed to sequence 615 complete human genome samples for the Institute for Systems Biology as part of ISB's study on neurodegenerative diseases. It is the third order of its kind between the two companies in recent years.
For the neurodegenerative disease study, ISB will supply Complete Genomics with purified DNA samples from families with multiple affected individuals. Complete Genomics will then perform the sequencing, assembly, and annotation and deliver to ISB a listing of variations found in each genome. ISB will do its own further analysis, utilizing the power of family genetics and network analysis with the datasets to identify causal and modifying genes.
"Partnering with Complete Genomics for our human sequencing needs has allowed us to focus on data analysis and interpretation while avoiding major capital expense, pipeline building, and technology development. Their continuous increase in sequencing accuracy and coverage has allowed us to generate highly accurate results," says Leroy Hood, president of ISB.
In 2009, ISB engaged Complete Genomics to sequence four genomes as part of a small family study to verify the causal gene in Miller syndrome. In early 2010, ISB engaged Complete Genomics to sequence 100 genomes for multiple family studies of Huntington's and other diseases in collaboration with several academic institutions.

The body must be hydrated, otherwise you can´t get everything out of it.
If you will be dehydrated, your blood will thicken and it can´t deliver so much oxygen and the other stuffs to your organs and muscles and your physical performance will be reduced. The best way to avoid dehydration is drinking water throughout the day.

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone getting water retention from drinking water? Eating too much salt is usually what does that.
If anything, drinking excessive water, will make urinate more. At least, that's how it works for me.
The problem with drinking too much water, is that your fluid balance might be good, but the amount of salt in your body will drop because it will be excreted through the urine, and the water coming in doesn't contain any salt. This can be as problematic as dehydration.(actually it can even lead to dehydration, since the salt makes the water stay in the body).
So water is important, but too much (like with anything else) is not good. Same with the salt. A certain balance is needed.
As always, there are no easy answers.

12:00 - 4 egg whites with piece of toast (I put a hole in the bread and put the whites in and eat the stuff on the side) tastes like sex and pancakes. (With 15 cal per 250ml fruit juice).
2:30 - Fruits and the low cal fruit juice.
5:00 - can of tuna with toast. My supper always varies.
8:00 - Not sure about this. Maybe some oatmeal with milk? Or some low sugar low calorie cereal?
I try to get 1400 calories every day. Too few?

The Hunt For "Red October"
An advanced and well-orchestrated computer spy operation that targeted diplomats, governments and research institutions for at least five years has been uncovered by security researchers in Russia.
The highly targeted campaign, which focuses primarily on victims in Eastern Europe and Central Asia based on existing data, is still live, harvesting documents and data from computers, smartphones and removable storage devices, such as USB sticks, according to Kaspersky Lab, the Moscow-based antivirus firm that uncovered the campaign. Kaspersky has dubbed the operation "Red October."[more inside]

CLEMSON The Clemson mens basketball team has an audio problem.
Inside raucous Cameron Indoor Stadium earlier this month, Clemson coach Brad Brownell had assistant coach Mike Winiecki write several plays on whiteboards. Winiecki quickly scribbled a play-call like Spider or Charleston with a marker and raised the board for the oncourt players to see.
Brownell is trying a new oncourt communication system, one the team will bring with it on its trip to No. 14 N.C. State at 6 p.m. today (ESPNU) because Brownell has a problem: this years Clemson team is the least vocal team he has ever coached.
It is by far, Brownell said. Even any of my teams at Wright State or UNC Wilmington were (more vocal). Certainly having Demontez Stitt was a big part of our first year just being able to have a pulse on our team, respect on our team. Last year, with Tanner (Smith) and Andre (Young), Andre wasnt a big talker, but Tanner always got communication through our team. With this years team, its hard to look out there and figure out who is going to be the guy.
Brownell wants point guard Rod Hall to be the guy, the vocal, oncourt coach, but for that to happen, it requires the reserved Hall to change his demeanor. Players have complained that they cannot hear Hall call out plays on the court.
Im disappointed a little bit in his leadership, Brownell said. He needs to be more of a vocal guy and to command more respect. Hes a hard-playing guy, but he could provide more presence if he would talk and communicate.
Hall was not a point guard at Laney (Augusta, Ga.) High, so he did not have many verbal responsibilities.
Im just not used to talking too much, Hall said. Thats just how I grew up. Now that Im playing a big role as the point guard, everyone feeds of the point guard, so I have to talk a lot more.
Hall is a project in another way, too. Brownell wants him to shoot more, be more selfish with the basketball.
The bulky Hall has always the physical strength and quick feet to be defensive asset, but as a freshman he was often a non-factor in the halfcourt offense.
Last season as a freshman, Brownell completely rebuilt Halls shooting mechanics.
This summer, he had Hall use a practice technique where he shot 100 to 150 jumpshots a day one-handed to reinforce proper technique. The work has resulted in Hall increasing his shooting percentage from 44.1 last year to 49.1 percent this season, and his free throw percentage from 59.6 to 63.9.
Not only are the rates up, but Hall has displayed more confidence in his jumper, connecting on both attempts he took in a win over Wake Forest as well as more aggressive driving to the basket. Hall is taking 4.8 field goals per game versus three field goals per game as a freshman.
Hall has demonstrated increased confidence as an offensive player, and Brownell hopes the next step is increased confidence as a vocal leader.
Brownells project is to make Hall a true point guard, a true leader.
When everything is looking at the bench and coach-directed, its usually never as good, Brownell said. Whenever players are coaching themselves, holding themselves accountable, youre at a better level.

UNISDR Invites Business' Ideas on DRR and Avoiding New Risks
2 April 2014: The UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) has launched a month-long online consultation with the international business community, inviting businesses to contribute their expertise and ideas on the role of financial reform, regulation, building codes and incentives to allow business to make safer investments and avoid creating new risk in the process of driving economic growth and development.
The consultation will ensure that the business community's views are adequately captured in the post-2015 global DRR framework, which will succeed the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA).
The dialogue is organized as follows: 'Avoiding New Risk: Making Private Investments Resilient' (starting 26 March), which will address financial reform and disaster risk as a business opportunity, and codes, planning and voluntary incentives; 'Decreasing Existing Risk Exposure: Business Solutions for Governments and Enterprises' (starting 2 April), which will address access to risk information and resilience solutions, as well as micro, small and medium enterprises and global value chains; and 'Strengthening Resilience: Business Continuity Management and the Five Essentials for Business in DRR' (starting 9 April). The five essentials are: promoting and developing public-private partnerships to analyze root causes of non-resilient activity; leveraging sectoral private sector expertise and strengths to advance disaster risk reduction (DRR) and mitigation; fostering data exchange and dissemination; supporting national and local risk assessments and socioeconomic cost-benefit analyses and capacity building; and supporting the development and strengthening of national and local laws, regulations, policies and programmes.
Rowan Douglas, CEO Capital, Science and Policy Practice, Willis Group, and Chair of the UNISDR Private Sector Working Group for the post-2015 global DRR framework, said the consultation's goal is to engage the business community on how to reduce existing risk exposure by focusing on the exchange of risk information and business solutions between the public and private sectors. UNISDR Chief Margareta Wahlstrom said the UNISDR Private Sector Partnership members are providing feedback, but the aim is also "to cast the net further" to create an "incentive-led approach" to encourage business investment in disaster resilience.
The UNISDR Disaster Risk Reduction Private Sector Partnership is a global partnership between UNISDR and private businesses, which are mobilizing action to reduce the risk of disaster. Currently, the Partnership has 61 members, ranging from multinationals to small and medium enterprises.

I am not living my life. I am just existing, doing the things
This answer was rated:
I am not living my life. I am just existing, doing the things I need to do, and avoiding the things I don't have to do. Life has always been hectic, as a kid & an adult. I am an ACOA, survivor of rape, two divorces, 4 kids grown & out. I think I was a "reactor" and a "planner" . I still work full time, live alone 2 dogs, bad health, prednisone tummy, diabetes, arthritis, fat, no desire for anything.Feel a void which I try to fill w food & mindless endless tv, My mother died this last yr, my uncle too. one daughter who has had problems tried to kill herself recently. I have two brothers who have disowned me because I sided with her as the boys were trying to take her $ away from her(she had milllions), she died fighting them for her own money. One brother is a lawyer and so the other sided with him& they have decided I am no longer their sister. I declined to go to moms memorial, one of the bros is alcoholic who goes after my jugular, and had done the same when I was at Mom's houseafter her passing. Liquor would be at the memorial and I knew what would happen so I bowed out. I don't drink, or use drugs. When I was pretty, I
sleep around too much, daddy issues I believe, contracted herpes and so now no close relationship.Just recently found my birth father's family and visit them in 2 weeks, but feel like a loser and why would they even want to see me...I'm fat, old, short, sick and pitiful. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi there,
I'm Alicia. Thanks for your question, I'm happy to help you today.
You present here with a number of issues that seem to stem from the painful, traumatic childhood (and some adult) experiences you've dealt with on your own. And to be honest, there's much too much going on here for you to handle on your own, with the combination of health and emotional problems you're describing here. It sounds to me like you also do not have much social support, if any. And you sound very defeatist (in terms of meeting your birth father's family especially, when you say you feel like a loser, why would they want to see you, etc.) - even though you feel this way, it is probably not an accurate reflection of reality. Even though it sounds like you've had more than your fair share of problems, everyone is a combination of positive and negative traits, and it sounds like you need some help identifying and learning to focus on your positive qualities and strengths.
You say you've tried counseling a long time ago, and you've been on antidepressants for 26 years. This is a very, very long time to be feeling the way you've been feeling. My suggestion would be to consult a therapist who specializes in cognitive-behavioral therapy. Even though a lot of the problems that have happened to you were out of your control, you can learn to take charge of your thought patterns and make some positive changes in your life - but it's pretty hard to do this on your own. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a specific form of treatment that targets your underlying, dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs and works to change your thoughts and behaviors and help you develop a new, positive, more realistic self-image. It is also (generally) a short-term form of treatment that can produce results in a relatively quick time frame, so it's not like you'll be in therapy for years and years.
You can read more about cognitive-behavioral therapy here:
If you are interested, you can find a cognitive-behavioral therapist in your area on this website:
While you can't change the past, you can take charge of your future. You don't have to live a life where you feel so bad all the time. You deserve a chance at happiness, especially in light of all the trauma you've undergone. I hope you can find help, and I wish you luck.
Please let me know if you need additional assistance.

Thank you for your response. I probably won't seek counseling because I don't have much faith in todays health system. I think it is primarily set up to continue to treat patient symptoms rather than solve health problems. HMO's, wonderful system....not. I do believe cognitive behavioral therapy might help and I plan to look into this, I remember some information from college, so I guess I will see what I can do for myself. I have a friend that goes to ALANON, and he says it has helped him with some issues and I should go at least once, which I am considering. I do have good support through my children, and my co-workers are wonderful support . I would descible myself as a self sufficient woman, a do it yourself-er, meat and potatoes gal who is always waiting for the other shoe to drop. If you gave me a "Dave's Top Ten List" of things to do for myself, I would defintely try to do them while searching for help within cognitive behavioral therapy information. Thank you for your help and have a wonderful day. Rhondak

Hi Rhonda!
I can respect your feelings about the health system, and normally I would actually agree with you that the system is set up to treat the symptoms and not the underlying problems. It's unfortunate, but true - most of the time. The beauty of cognitive-behavioral therapy is that it's not necessarily just symptom-focused - it works on the underlying problem. So, just for example, with depression - people feel
, low self-esteem, etc. This manifests as wanting to stay in bed, avoid social contact, etc.. But CBT looks at the underlying reasons WHY the person feels this way and works to change them (rather than mask them, say, with medication or just using positive affirmations) - so you learn to make fundamental changes in your thoughts, which control your behaviors. What thoughts do you have that contribute to your feeling low or like a loser - and how can you change those feelings and thoughts and translate them over to positive behavioral changes.
As far as ALANON, I think that's a great idea. After I sent my initial message to you, I had the thought that a support group of some sort would also be a good place to start (either in addition to therapy or instead of - although a combination of both is ideal). One other thing I'd like to point out - you say you're always waiting to the other shoe to drop - and it makes absolute sense in light of everything you've said - but this is something cognitive-behavioral therapy can also help you with.
I can't provide you with a top ten list (though I do appreciate your sense of humor and I think we could already
that to a list of your positive qualities), but I would say that a support group and CBT should be your top two on the list. Third, I would recommend that you read "Change your Thoughts, Change your Life" by Wayne Dyer. It's a fabulous book based on the Tao Te Ching - so it's based in spirituality (not religion) that can help give you a fresh perspective and help you take control of your life just by seeing things in a different light.(see here:
I would also suggest that you think about becoming involved in some sort of exercise or
management program.
, yoga, Tai Chi, aerobic exercise - these can all help you feel better on the inside and outside. Aerobic exercise helps by promoting the production of endorphins (your body's natural pain killing and stress relieving chemicals) - and can help alleviate depression and
, too. You might want to read this information from the Mayo Clinic on the benefits of exercise, especially if you are a "self sufficient" woman who wants to try to work things out on her own, then it might be one of the simplest things you can do to help yourself.
I hope that helps, but as before, if you have any more questions, please let me know. Have a great day!

Amid suspicions that some people may know too much, an offshore gambling operation has put on hold all bets on the outcome of The Apprentice 2, citing what it calls an "unusual betting pattern on two contestants."
"We don't know if this is some kind of link to the contestants or some way involved with the production," BestWWTS.com betting director Stuart Doyle tells the Associated Press. "When this has happened before, it's because someone has known the outcome."
The wagers in question were placed in New Hampshire, but according to NBC, none of this season's Apprentice contestants appears to have ties to the state.
Last year, CBS's Survivor: Pearl Islands' Ft. Lewis, Wash.-based winner Sandra Diaz-Twine was a betting favorite near her hometown before the season even kicked off, which caused the Antigua-based BestWWTS.com to suspend wagering on the show. Similar situations developed during Survivor: The Amazon and the second installment of ABC's The Bachelor.
"We are considering not offering betting on reality shows that have been pre-taped," said Doyle. "It simply seems impossible not to have to suspend them very quickly."
SPOILER ALERT: Possible Apprentice 2 finalists to be revealed.
According to BetWWTS.com, concerns were raised when a maximum bet of $300 was placed on lawyer Jennifer Massey, 30, from San Francisco and software executive Kelly Perdew, 37, from Carlsbad, Calif. Several similar $300 bets reportedly were placed on those same two contestants the very next day from accounts in New Hampshire.
"When we see a lot of bets with $300 then that's very suspicious," said Doyle, noting that the average bet is closer to $25.
In response, NBC told the news service: "We're not going to speculate on the outcome at all. The finale is live and there won't be a winner until the finale."
So far Bradford Cohen, a 33-year-old attorney from Ft. Lauderdale, and Stacie Jones Upchurch, a 35-year-old restaurateur from New York City, have been knocked out of the game by Donald Trump's boardroom catchphrase, "You're fired."
Bets Off on Picking Apprentice 2 Winner

I had similar problem using 3.1.2a. I have also tried the 3.1.3rc1.
Finally I settled for the version that came with the book OSDI ed 3.
For studying it is the best to have the documented version.
Then I tried 4 different routers. Dl-Link DI524, Netgear WGR614v6,
Cisco Linksys WRT54Gv5. Finally I chose the Buffalo WHR-G54S
router that I flushed with custom firmware called DD-WRT version 23
generic from dd-wrt.com. That solved this and other connecting
I am running telnetd and ftpd servers as well. I have the minix box
behind this router using port forwarding only. The DMZ feature
of the router is disabled. I can connect using telnet and ftp to the
outside world. Also I can connect from the outside to my minix.
It even works from mobile phone running java telnet client.
