text: One of the more important days on the Christian calendar is the Birthday of John the Baptist celebrated on June 24, with its vigil the night before. As we all know thanks to Shakespeare this occasion is also known as Midsummer Night and Midsummer Day. In the rousing Wagnerian masterpiece "Die Meistersinger von Nuernberg", the three acts take place on "Johannesnacht" and "Johannestag." In Germany and other northern European lands this feast under either or both of those names is still popularly celebrated with old customs including bonfires.

Irwin's debut novel is told from the point of view of Rob Carrey, a kid from upstate New York whose rowing prowess earns him a scholarship at Fenton, a posh boarding school, for a post-grad year his family hopes will get him a rowing scholarship to Harvard.
Having done all his body-building working for his dad's construction company in the blue-collar town of Niccalsetti, Rob has no illusions about his pending status among rich boys from Fortune 500 families. But he is confident he holds the trump card.
Senior year at a boarding school was a bad time to be an outsider and I was a postgraduate rower — a scholarship one at that. I only had nine months of this kind of living and then it would be snatched away again and I'd be sent back to where I came from unless I was very, very fast on the water. Which was just fine by me, because I was dead sure that I was the fastest thing these bastards were ever going to see.
Then Rob meets Connor Payne. Connor, captain of the rowing team, is smart, impossibly wealthy and very possibly faster than Rob. Connor informs Rob he will row as part of a team known as "the God Four." This is news to Rob, who has never had to rely on anyone but himself for success and assumed he'd be rowing his own boat. The adjustment doesn't come easy, and is compounded by Connor's smug arrogance.
But wait. This also is the story of the thirtysomething Rob, now a successful documentary filmmaker, whose lover of five years is ending their relationship.
With his life unraveling, Rob reluctantly decides to attend his 15-year reunion in order to make peace with a tragedy he has never fully confronted that occurred during his year at Fenton.
Presented in chapters that alternate between past and present, Irwin's writing has the fluidity of music, with cycles that go from dreamlike andante to suspense-building crescendos to stunning climaxes.
It over simplifies the story to say it is about summoning strength when there seems to be none left – in sport and in life, for it also is a primer in rowing. Irwin conveys all the nuances of the sport, from the water dripping from the sculls and stultifying humidity in the tank room to the strain of eking out the last gasps of energy on the water – and the inevitable pain, nausea and dizziness that accompany pushing one's body to the limit.
Irwin has a gift for character development. Even minor personae are skillfully drawn, providing the reader with each character's appearance, personality and attitude.
With his rich background in rowing (both at boarding school and college in New England), and a rower still, it's hard to predict whether Irwin's next book can match "Flat Water Tuesday." But on the merits of his writing alone, I'm guessing yes.
If you've never heard Holter Graham read a novel, a delight awaits you. He navigates seamlessly between the teenage and adult Carrey, and pulls off other voices – including those of coxswain Ruth and girlfriend Carolyn – with facility. His meter and tone enhance Irwin's stirring writing. In short, Graham makes "Flat Water Tuesday" the best way to "read" this memorable novel.

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
Here's what I hope the sequel will be titled: "Harold and Kumar Go to Jail." Perhaps the filmmakers behind this movie don't realize this, but marijuana is illegal to use and possess, yet it seems to be the driving force behind Harold (John Cho) and Kumar's (Kal Penn) every move, particularly their desire to go to White Castle and get some burgers.
It might seem funny to some people now that Harold and Kumar have the munchies, but imagine the disaster that is sure to befall them in the very near future. As everyone knows, marijuana is what's known as a gateway drug, which means that everyone who uses it ends up taking LSD and snorting cocaine and eventually becoming a drug addict thereby sucking away my hard-earned tax dollars in rehab. It's appalling that Hollywood thinks drug use is funny.
Sadly, I know many people who used to smoke marijuana. None of them leads a happy life any longer. One is now employed as a rocket scientist and the other works for Microsoft. Nothing says "I used to smoke dope" more than working for Microsoft.
"Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle" is just a lot of stupid jokes mostly inspired, undoubtedly, by the filmmakers' prodigious pot-smoking. For instance, Harold and Kumar ride on a cheetah. Everybody who doesn't smoke pot knows full well that cheetahs do not allow people to ride on them, so that's really stupid. Also, Harold and Kumar run into Neil Patrick Harris. Neil steals their car so he can run off and get some, as he puts it, "pussy."
I never ever thought I'd watch a film in which Neil Patrick Harris degraded his wholesome Doogie Howser M.D. image by referring to women by their genitals. I realize that Doogie no longer has a career, but I don't think that gives him or the filmmakers the right to degrade women.
I didn't like this film.

Since Her Marriage to the Chewing Gum Heir Fell Apart, Joan Wrigley Has More Than Doubled Her Troubles
The courts, in fact, made Joan Wrigley what she is today. Her plight goes back to 1970, when the twice-divorced Joan became engaged to William Wrigley, now 48, heir to the chewing-gum-and-baseball (Chicago Cubs) fortune. Bill, who had given his first wife a generous divorce settlement, asked Joan to sign a prenuptial agreement that he could leave her as much—or as little—as he wished in his will. "I discussed this with my folks after the first divorce," Bill explains. "In the event of my death, I felt that the family stock should be protected." Joan signed the paper—as she tells it—because she was deeply in love and eager to provide stability for her children. "Bill and I didn't go out much, and when we did we'd look for the nearest potted palm and not talk to anybody else," she recalls.
"You couldn't expect that to go on forever," observes one friend. It didn't. Within five years the Wrigleys were squabbling over the two most volatile subjects in a marriage: money and sex. "First he stopped giving me an allowance, so I had to charge everything," Joan says. "Whenever I'd ask for something, he'd retreat into complaints about my spending. We had a wonderful marriage as long as he wasn't pressed, but when I reminded him he'd promised this or that, he would change. And there was a sex problem." She claims she persuaded him to go to her psychiatrist and that Bill took along an adding machine and "yards of tapes" to demonstrate her extravagance. "His attitude was, 'How dare you want to discuss sex problems?' " she contends. "From then on communication went downhill."
One day in 1976, while they were still living together in the North Side con-do, Bill Wrigley was served with papers from a lawsuit filed by Joan. Its purpose was to set aside their prenuptial agreement. "I was floored," he recalls. "I went to my lawyers with it." What followed was 10 suits and countersuits in two states. Bill sued for an annulment in Wisconsin, where he has legal residence. Joan countersued for divorce in Illinois. She also charged her husband with adultery and fraud (and then filed for bankruptcy herself).
Bill won every case. A Wisconsin judge declared that Joan's two previous divorces, both quickies obtained in Alabama, were invalid, so that her marriage to Bill was illegal from the start. Although Joan claims she contributed $1,700 a month to household expenses—and that she came up with the idea for Wrigley's successful Big Red chewing gum, introduced in 1976—she was denied alimony. The Wisconsin court ordered her to repay the $38,000 it cost Bill Wrigley to educate her son Chris, and last week, after years of legal delays, ordered her out of the apartment. "It's not an eviction," Wrigley insists. "She lived there rent-free for five years while the case was in court."
These days Joan talks wistfully of the perks of being a Wrigley. "Limousines, butlers and maids in attendance at every turn," she sighs. "I liked the preferential treatment." On a business trip with Bill, she remembers, she lacked a vaccination required to enter Australia. He persuaded the U.S. ambassador to intervene on their behalf. All that is gone. Thanks to her family, Joan Wrigley won't be joining the breadline, but she still has the debts to contend with—not to mention the bitterness. "Someday I'd like to teach a course to help women avoid the position I find myself in," says Joan. "Sure, love is wonderful, but unless you protect yourself you're left with nothing but a great big hole. And you're the one who's given them the shovel."

Your SelectionClear All
I am a female 5'2 130lbs. These pants fit great not too tight but I don't feel like I'm wearing giant sweats either. They are very long on me but I cannot fault the pants for this bc I know I am shorter than their intended target. I just cuff them under and it's not issue. ... read more
I like the product but i'm about 5'1 around 108 lbs I picked a size large and it was too big. I probably should have gone medium. But I think i'll stick to Women's sizing. Other than being too big/long it's comfortable and the quality is nice. I'd recommend it (Just make sure you know your size!) ... read more
I've ordered these in many sizes and editions and finally got it right. My son is 12 , measures 5ft. 2" , about 130lbs & normally wears a size 16 jeans, so i ordered a Kids large and it was too big. So I ordered a Kids Medium and it fit perfectly. I learned that a Youth Large is the same as a Kids Medium. ... read more
I have to say, my kids absolutely love these pants BUT, they wear holes in them so easily. I have purchased three pairs of these in the last 2 months and neither of them can be worn to school any longer. There are holes in every knee. I have purchased other brands and this is not happening. For 40.00 per pant, the quality should be much better. I am so disappointed as this is the pant that my kids want to wear every day. ... read more
I'm a dancer with with long skinny legs and I'm constantly struggling to find the right bottoms to wear and these pants are perfect. They run fairly true to size and are comfortable to wear casually or while being active. The climacool material is feels very good and is also easy to clean. I find myself wearing these any time I get the chance in any weather or activity. I want a pair in every color! ... read more
These training pants are "fine." That's it; just fine. My sons have loved the Tiro 13 Training Pants for years and they've been quite popular with all their friends. I know companies are always looking to upgrade, but these are looser (read: more baggy) at the top and the sizes listed online do not fit the same as the Tiro 13s at all. We had to return all of ours for different sizes. This is one family, who along with a lot of our friends, are incredibly disappointed in the discontinuation of a line of useful clothing. ... read more

Hey! The Bills have another QB….Sigh. Well, they have to work out a contract with him, but it looks like the Vince Young era is coming to an end. Truth be told, I wasn't going to do a Q&A but because everyone had an opinion about it, I decided, what the hell? The peeps at The Purple Jesus Diaries are in the house to tell me about Tarvaris Jackson. But first, we have Matthew over at Seahawk Addicts to dish the dirt on TJ. It is a more positive review than what the Purple Jesus people had.
1) How did Jackson fair in Seattle last year?
Better than expected, actually. When he came to Seattle last year, Vikings fans were more than happy to tell us at length how awful he was. Then Pete Carroll went ahead and named Jackson the starter not long after signing him, which made the situation worse. You see, Charlie Whitehurst had been brought in on a trade in 2010 to be Matt Hasselbeck's heir apparent, and while he struggled for much of that year he put on a great performance in the regular season finale against St. Louis. Having a johnny-come-lately like Jackson swoop in and deny Whitehurst a legitimate shot at the starting gig didn't sit right with most of us. It's hard to get off to a worse start with a new fanbase than that.
To his credit, Jackson didn't start trying to defend himself at every turn or spout angry tirades in anyone's direction. In short order, he won the respect of his teammates with his humility and work ethic, and they remained vocal supporters of his even though the offense struggled for the first half of the season. As the offensive line slowly began to gel and the run game took off, Jackson's play improved, and he shut up a lot of his detractors when word got out that he'd been playing despite suffering a 50% tear to the pectoral muscle on his throwing side. He wasn't the greatest quarterback the team has ever had, but he was solid enough to get the job done most weeks, and his toughness, humble demeanor, and intelligence won over a lot of fans. (Aside from the Giants game, Whitehurst pretty much imploded every time he was given a chance to play, so that worked in Jackson's favor as well). We weren't happy to see him arrive, but now we're sorry to see him go.
2) Is he a starter in the NFL? Why? I would have to say yes. Jackson is a decent quarterback, just not an elite one. He has a strong arm, he's mobile, he's tough, and he's a great leader, but there are some serious flaws in his game. He struggles at times to read defenses quickly, and when he doesn't see anyone open he tends to panic and freeze until he gets sacked. He can throw into tight windows but rarely does so, partly because he's skittish about taking risks with the ball, and partly because he has trouble anticipating when a receiver is about to break open. His stat breakdowns present some unusual inconsistencies. Hawk Blogger had a nice, lengthy article on this subject last month (http://www.hawkblogger.com/2012/07/breaking-down-seahawks-qb-tarvaris.html), so I'll just go over the highlights.
He's got one of the best passer ratings in the league in the red zone, but his numbers drop outside of that area. He's great on second downs, but struggles on third downs. He plays well in the fourth quarter and can close the deal when he's playing with a lead, but he can't put together a game-winning drive to save his life. Bottom line, he's not the best quarterback, but he's not a one-way ticket to a lost season, either. You could do much worse than having him under center..
3) Seattle only had 15 TD passes last year, which was 28th in the league. Why was that number so low? For the first half of the season, the offense struggled because the offensive line was a work in progress (three of the five starters were new additions, and two of them were rookies). After Tom Cable got done working his magic, the numbers on offense improved all around, but injuries to several wide receivers and Marshawn Lynch's dominating running led to the passing game taking a back seat to Beast Mode. Passing stats
Games 1-8: 164 of 283 (57.95%) for 1,854 yds, 7 TDs (2.47%), 10 Ints (3.53%), 29 sacks
Games 9-16: 135 of 226 (59.73%) for 1,590 yds, 8 TDs (3.53%), 4 Ints (1.77%), 21 sacks
As you can see, the attempts and total yardage took a nosedive as the offense began to rely more on the run, but the percentages for completions, touchdowns per attempt, and interceptions per attempt all improved, as did sacks allowed. I expect the passing game to be greatly improved this year: the offensive line is solid, the receivers are healthy, and Zach Miller and the other tight ends will be able to release into pass routes instead of having to stay back and help block all the time.
4) Why didn't it work out in Seattle for him?
I wouldn't say that it didn't work out, it's just that the two quarterbacks the Seahawks picked up this offseason (Matt Flynn in free agency and Russell Wilson in the draft) outperformed him in training camp. I've heard a lot of people claim that that Pete Carroll only announced that Jackson was in the mix for the starting job this offseason to keep up appearances and avoid alienating his players, but Carroll isn't one to say that sort of thing lightly. Had Jackson proven he was a better option than one or both of the new guys, one of them would be headed to another team right now.
1) What can you tell me about Jackson from his days in Minnesota? Please, be gentle.
He was, without a doubt, the most soul crushing, mind numbing, heart breaking football player at any position I've ever had to watch. Except for Troy Williamson. Jackson is terrible though. Just awful. Worse than making out with your sister. He's inaccurate, fragile, has only ever played under one offensive system, can't read a defense, can't throw an out pattern, and hurts his own running backs by banging knees with them. Some may say he never got a fair shot to compete and play in Minnesota because Favre came in during his last two years and stole the show, but that's bullshit. Favre was brought in because Tarvaris was a god damn nightmare.
2) What were his strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths: ….. He can run, sometimes? Like … He's a scrambling quarterback? Uh … He throws the ball far, occasionally. Sometimes to his own teammates, too! Weaknesses: Everything else. Really. He can't stay healthy, he doesn't have a high football IQ, he can't make all the throws … The one saving grace I'll give him is that – like cocaine or something – he's FINE in moderation. If you ever have to rely on him for more than two games though, prepare to drink heavily.
3) Just admit it, he sucked for you guys. Why?
Yes, he did. Without question. It's hard to pin point exactly WHY it happened, but he's just not a good NFL player. He was drafted way too high and thrust into the QB position in Minnesota as a rookie. Brad Childress – the coach who picked him and wanted to groom him – was likely hoping to get him time to learn the game on the bench for probably at least two years, but it never worked out. I always felt that this rush job really harmed his pro potential. Beyond that, he just isn't good. Athletic, talented, experienced (now), but none of it in a good way.
4) The Bills offense is all about spreading the field and having their WRs run a number of 8-10 yard routes. The system is predicated on the passer being very accurate with his throws and reading defenses quickly. Can Jackson do this?
Does he only need to go through one read? Then maybe. But he'll stare his guy down. Jackson also can't really throw a slant pass in the short route. His best throws were probably 8-12 yard hitches corner routes, or the infamous 2-yard jumping dump off pass to a full back. He's always good for that at least twice a game, and the jump pass probably 6 times again. Keep an eye out for it. You'll love it.
5)What were his best and worst games?
His best game that stands out in my mind was against the Arizona Cardinals in 2008. He threw 4 touchdowns in a 35-14 win, but it's close to impossible for him to repeat. He was 11-17 for 163 yards passing, with two of the touchdowns being a 40 and 60 yard bombs. It was stupid.His worst game was DEFINITELY the one playoff game he started against the Eagles for us, but mostly because of this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4UvKrdafqYThat will always sum up Tarvaris Jackson for me. Good luck, dudes. I feel your pain.

For successful vegetables, know when to plant
Gardeners should determine the type of vegetables they want to plant and the time they will perform best. Cool-season vegetables, including various types of lettuce, require cooler temperatures to germinate, are shallow-rooted and susceptible to drought, and therefore benefit from spring rains.
Winchester — For success in the vegetable garden, whether it's for a spring, summer or fall harvest, time of planting is key, according to R. Allen Straw, area specialist with Virginia Cooperative…

Summary: The hike promised an interesting ending and view with the destination labeled "lookout tower". Packed up the 5 year and 2 year old daughters who were excited about seeing the slopes and surrounding areas from above the trees and not through them. We started out on the Laurel Highlands Hiking trail and then deviated left when we came across the trail/road for the fire tower. From that point it was a simple hike, about a half mile and we came to the....."Tower". In my younger years before I fully understood the probability of a 30 year old 2x4 failing I may have attempted to scale the fence and head up the tower but now with 3 kids and a slew of real responibilities I just laughed. Why? I knew that I had to explain to my daughter that we can't go up what I've been talking up for a couple of days. All in all, a nice hike because of the vistas offered but don't think a nice lunch will be had on the tower floor. All one board of it.

Four Ways You Can Make a Difference – Learn How!
A Kid's Guide to Giving originated when author Freddi Zeiler, at age 14, decided she wanted to make a difference in the world. There were so many charitable organizations to choose from that she didn't know where to begin—so she set out to research them all.
After compiling information on more than 100 kid-friendly organizations, Freddi has broken down her findings into an accessible guide to giving time and money, donating goods, and organizing charity events. Make a difference and get involved by using the steps below. You can help needy children, conserve the rainforest or protect animals from extinction
Step 1: Look into your heart.
Think about what cause means most to you.
There are all sorts of charitable causes. You just have to decide what issues are closest to your heart.
- Are there disaster relief efforts you'd like to contribute to?
- Does your heart break when you hear about animals in need?
- Can you imagine not having food or medicine when you need it?
Step 2: Support a cause you love.
You can search by what interests you or by charity name from more than 1.8 million charities.
Step 3: There are lots of ways to help!
Decide what you want to do to help.
- Volunteer your time?
- Donate money?
- Have a fundraiser?
Step 4: You can make a difference.
Create a favorite charities list and send to your friends and family.
Think about sending out your favorite charities list for your next birthday or over the holidays. It gives your friends and family a way to show they care about the things that are important to you.
Also, be sure to read Network for Good's interview with Freddi!

Three-alarm fire in Ripon
RIPON, Wis. (AP) _ Fire has damaged three retail buildings in downtown Ripon and displaced second-floor tenants.
Red Cross officials say the agency is providing services to at least five families who were safely evacuated from the upper floors.
Ripon Fire Chief Tim Saul says the fire started about 3 a.m. Wednesday. About 30 agencies were paged for mutual aid in fighting the blaze.
Downtown business owners came to the scene to open their doors and help firefighters warm up in single-digit temperatures.

DeLeo shows audacity in casino bid
The audacity of House Speaker Robert DeLeo's renewed political push to expand state-sponsored gambling as the way to solve our financial woes betrays the arrogance and impunity of our entrenched and patronage-ladened government.
With virtually every other state enterprise in financial and management chaos and most of the country's casinos in or near insolvency, the last thing Massachusetts needs is more state-sponsored gambling. Which means, sadly, that is probably what we'll have.
Tax cut extension is stealth spending
The Bush tax rate extension spending bill is a stealth spending bill. By some estimates, the pork and bribes and other unrelated spending being added to this package to buy votes are almost twice the dollar amount of the tax rate extensions themselves.
It should remind us of the health bill, which was filled with bribes and pork and misdirection and confusion, but "had to be passed, so we could learn what was in it. "Social Security became insolvent this year, so the House is proposing to cut its income by 2 percent? And Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is bribing agriculture-belt representatives by extending expensive subsidies for ethanol, so food prices can continue to rise for all Americans? And the unemployment extension is to be paid for by more borrowing from the Chinese, instead of using funds already available and appropriated in the Obama stimulus bill? Where are the spending reductions in this bill? The American people voted in November for fiscal restraint, not to add billions more to the out-of-control deficit.
--R. PATRICK HENRY, Jr.
--East Longmeadow
Jobless benefits keep families fed
I must respond to a recent letter to the editor applying macro economics to a $200 unemployment check. Somewhere behind the use of such – and Nancy Pelosi's use of being good for the economy to extend unemployment – lies the fact that when people are unemployed too long they starve. That $200 wouldn't go far for a family at a grocery store today. It indeed would not fix the economy.
The writer seemed to be saying, "Let them eat cake." When I was learning English as a child the word liberal could never be applied to a $200 check. The word conservative had the opposite meaning of its use today describing those who make over a million a year wheeling and dealing in their office while their workers can't pay rent, eat, or save for their future. You might learn from reading a classic book. Don't be put off by its title. The moral is of use to one of any religion, or no faith, A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
To be fair those who make millions and billions off the labor and purchases of American people eventually develop a conscience and give their excess profits away, to Africa, Asia, and islands in the Caribbean. Would that they would charge less for heating oil than gasoline.
But alas, to those who make over $1 million a year, heat is pocket change. It's life or death to someone who, because jobs were deported instead of illegal aliens, must depend on a $200 check.
EPA officials not doing their jobs
In the Associated Press article "EPA sets new rules for carbon dioxide storage" (The Republican, Nov. 23), reveals the intent of coal company officials to inject the carbon dioxide produced by coal burning into stable geological formations and sequester it there indefinitely, in order to reduce global warming. However, sequestering carbon dioxide will cause an even worse crisis: depletion of the oxygen content of the air we breathe! As more and more oxygen is used to burn coal, and then locked up in carbon dioxide molecules deep in the earth, away from any plants, which could free the oxygen, the oxygen content of the earth's air will rapidly diminish. Think worldwide sickness and death.
In "Moving Mount Tom past coal" (The Republican Business Monday, Nov. 29), Peter Vickery and Dick Stein state that replacing coal with natural gas as an interim measure towards "greenhood" would result in about 70 percent less carbon dioxide production. It's a shame these gentlemen aren't EPA officials. Currently we have the same people who "monitored" BP monitoring (read "allowing") CO2 sequestration. The EPA should have forbidden sequestration before it started.

Michigan's depth chart for Saturday's game against Eastern Michigan is out, and so, apparently, are some of the Wolverine starters.
Tight end Mike Massey, who suffered a leg injury against Northwestern isn't listed. Chris McLaurin and Carson Butler are listed as co-starters.
Starting right guard Alex Mitchell and his backup, Jeremy Ciulla, missed the Northwestern game with injuries. Neither has returned to the depth chart. Tim McAvoy, who started against Northwestern, is again listed as the starter, although he hobbled off the field in that game and was replaced by Cory Zirbel.
On defense, middle linebacker John Thompson didn't travel to Northwestern because of an undisclosed injury. He's listed as the starter this week, however. His replacement, Obi Ezeh, intercepted a pass by Wildcats' quarterback C.J. Bacher.
Despite leaving the game against Northwestern with injury, weakside linebacker Chris Graham is still listed as the starter. He was replaced against the Wildcats by Brandon Logan.
The placekicking job is apparently wide open now, after Jason Gingell missed both his field goal attempts against Northwestern. Gingell, K.C. Lopata and kickoff man Bryan Wright are listed as equals on the depth chart.
At quarterback, it's no surprise that Chad Henne is again the starter. Coming off a knee injury, Henne played the entire second half against Northwestern and led the Wolverines to their comeback win.

Cinemax (Tues., Sept. 2, 9:30 p.m. ET)
This American-made Cinemax Comedy Experiment tries to be as provocative a parody as Britain's Spitting Image and Max Headroom—but Shadoevision doesn't pull it off. Not a great moment for national pride. As Shadoevision begins, all TVs are jammed with voices saying: "This is not mind control. Think about it." Then a wimpy accountant is shoved through an "interdimensional door" into a brainwashing TV talk show, "the show that keeps your mind in mind." Then odd things happen, things too strange, senseless and sophomoric to describe. Though Shadoevision has a fair dose of imagination, it has no discernible point.

It's not often you'll find a defending champ that no one believes in, but that's the case for the Dallas Mavericks. Hardly anybody thinks the Mavs can repeat the magic they had last year.
The standings still have a lot of jumbling around to do, but most likely the Mavs would have to take down the San Antonio Spurs and the Thunder without home court advantage, that's a lot to ask.
Despite all the doubt, there is at least one guy who still believes in the Mavs. Someone who's never short on confidence,
"People are writing us off and thinking this team can't do anything,"
Of course, you can never write off any team that makes it into the playoffs. Teams have shown in the past that your seeding doesn't matter if you can get hot at the right time, and a few months from now I might be eating these words. I just can't see the Mavs hoisting the

New Kerry ICMSA head targets CAP
Published 21/11/2012 | 16:56
KERRY ICMSA members are voicing their opposition to plans reform CAP through the organisation's new Kerry chairman Noel Murphy elected this week.
The Milltown native said that ICMSA members in the county will fight any plans to introduce immediate and hard-hitting cuts to the massive CAP budget in a bid to retain single-farm payments at current levels.
Mr Murphy comes to the position in one of the worst years for the sector in living memory; due to the effects of the rain-soaked summer.
He succeeds Annascaul man Patrick Rohan to the position and comes already steeped in the tradition of the organisation. He said the Kerry branch enjoys disproportionate representation within the national organisation due to the work of his predecessors.
"I'll do my very best to live up to their reputations and success and one thing is for absolute sure: I'll give everything I have in defence of the right of farmers to earn an income commensurate with the effort and skill exerted," Mr Murphy vowed.

For the millionth time, Luigi IS in Brawl. I don't see why some people ask if he is.
1) He's Mario's freakin brother
2) He's been in both previous titles
3) Why would they take him out? There's no reason to.
4) A lot of people used him instead of Mario
5)They Ice Climbers are still in, so why would they keep them in but take out Luigi? It makes no sense.
Luigi, Jigglypuff, Cpt. Falcon, and Ness will still be in Brawl.

Northern Territory wants more backpackers
The local government in Australia is hoping to attract more backpackers and gap year travellers on Northern Territory tours this year.
Some 92,000 people embarked on backpacking trips in the Northern Territory in 2008, an increase of seven per cent on the previous year.
The state government is hoping to boost that number further this year by launching a campaign that includes a partnership with the online traveller forum gapyear.com.
Tourism minister Chris Burns said: "We've worked hard to increase the number of backpackers coming to the Territory and we want to see even more backpackers travelling across the NT.
"That's why we've joined with gapyear.com to promote the Territory and help independent travellers plan their trip down under."
Two travel guides have been produced for publication on gapyear.com, one focusing on Kakadu and the other exploring the whole of the Northern Territory.
It was recently announced that a new viewing platform is being constructed at Ormiston Gorge in central Australia.
Uluru/Ayers Rock – Visit the Aboriginal sacred site which is Australia's most visited tourist attraction.

This game is quite long. I don't know how many hours I've spent playing this game. There is a couple things I could ask for in this game. The first would be Multiplayer... Think that over... You and perhaps another person going at new maps in the future? The second thing that I was hoping for kind of early on in the game, was a good weapon. I picked the Vet, and most of my headshots aren't even hitting. That got me agitated. But overall, good game. I am going to put a 3.5/5 because I think this game could be a little bit better in the future.

|Donut shops in RP and nearby rely on SE Asian management
To get a handle on retail doughnut shops in Sonoma County, it helps to know about Cambodia. Or maybe Vietnam, Malaysia, Laos, Singapore and neighboring countries in Southeast Asia. This could be hard to explain to a typical American who considers doughnuts in the same class as Mom's apple pie. But the connection exists and Rohnert Park has a solid example.
It's called Jelly's Donuts and is owned by Bun Chao, 29, and his wife, Sonavy Kour, 28, both from Cambodia. They have a three-year old son, Demitri, who will soon be enrolled in an RP pre-school. How they got here from a previously war-torn Cambodian city is quite a story.
"My mother and father, along with me, came to California in 1991. My father's brother had a doughnut shop in Santa Rosa," Bun Chao remembers. "I was only seven years old, my father learned the trade and opened his own donut (let's use the familiar spelling) shop in Windsor.
"My father bought this RP shop in 1994, while I went to RP elementary schools and graduated from Rancho Cotate High School in 2003," Bun said. "I learned the techniques, so you could say making donuts kind of runs in the family," he laughed.
Jelly's Donuts is in the University Square shopping center across from the high school. It's in the small building here and its main entrance overlooks Snyder Lane.
"My work day starts at about midnight when I prepare the dough and light the cookers. My father's shop in Windsor doesn't have a kitchen so he's here with me making donuts to bring back there," Bun said. "We open at 5 am and stay open until 3:30 in the afternoon. Saturdays and Sundays we close at 1 pm." Phone number is 795-3378.
"Yes, I know, it's a 14-hour work day for me, but I'm used to this schedule. My wife, Sonavy (so-NAH-vee), takes care of Demitri during the day but comes down here to help me clean up after we close."
Bun and Sonavy were childhood acquaintances back in Cambodia. They later kept in touch with each other via mail, then e-mails and texting and were married in Cambodia. Sonavy came to Rohnert Park in 2009.
The display of goodies in Jelly's Donuts is filled with plain, old-fashioned, glazed or not, apple fritters, a lot are chocolate-covered with little candies on top. It's a tantalizing collection and you could spend minutes making up your mind as you grip the counter staring at the assortment.
"I estimate we get about forty percent of our sales from Rancho students," said Bun. "We also have SSU and Credo High students visiting us.
"The new thing coming up is called Cronuts," he added. "These are donuts made with croissant dough. They're a bit tricky for the dough comes in layers. I'm learning how to make them for they might become very popular.
"You know, when I was a child in Cambodia we never had donut shops. Now we have Dunkin' Donuts franchises in all the cities. We also have Col. Sanders and his KFC chickens, but they're quite a bit spicier for Cambodian tastes."

French President Francois Hollande criticized U.S. electronic surveillance program, saying America's eavesdropping program must "cease immediately."
"We cannot accept this kind of behavior from partners and allies," Hollande said in an interview aired earlier this week
But the French daily LeMonde reported that a French intelligence agency has been amassing a "gigantic database" from monitoring emails, phone records and online Internet activities that six French intelligence agencies, police, and other security agencies can access.
According to the report, the French government may use its surveillance programs "to spy on anybody at any time."
"All of our communications are spied on," LeMonde asserted.
A French lawmaker said the program requires authorization and is legal.

Philly students test themselves in great outdoors
DELAWARE WATER GAP -- Cierra Schell, an incoming junior at Philadelphia's High School of the Future, finished her ninth day of backpacking limping down the Appalachian Trail.
She was in misery but so proud of it.
"This is ridiculous," she said. "I feel dirty. My feet got blisters all over. But it was worth it. I reached my breaking point yesterday. I fell. I didn't want to get up, but I did it for my team. So we could reach camp and get some sleep. ... I felt I couldn't go on, but I pushed myself past that, and I made it."
This West Philadelphian had never seen a mountain, much less climbed one. "My mother drives me everywhere," she said.
Nine days without a shower evolved from unthinkable to unimportant. "I don't even smell myself anymore," Schell said.
She hobbled into the Kittatinny Visitors Center here at the Delaware Water Gap, where she would begin the canoeing phase of her two-week adventure, and dropped her 40-pound pack.
"Oh, my God! I'm here!"
Cierra and 19 other city juniors, in two groups, were sent into the wilderness two weeks ago by a nonprofit group, Summer Search. This trip was the first big step in a five-year effort to push these teens to see and achieve lives they never imagined possible.
Summer Search serves 2,000 teens annually, 35 a year in Philadelphia. Its mission is to break the cycle of poverty and dependency among urban poor, to launch them on a path toward college and success.
Summer Search is based on a philosophy that character -- self-control, conscientiousness, and tenacity -- is a better predictor of success than grades and tests, particularly when it comes to low-income students.

I'll be almost as cool as Ray Samuels who won the Masterclass demo pair right off of Michael Goodmans table at the meet. :)
I got the CEntrance Masterclass 2504's setup at the office and they look and sound great. Not wanting to threadjack, I posted some photos in my other thread here: www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?p=6907781

Q. My husband and his 89-year-old mother are co-executors of his uncle's estate. The uncle divided his estate in four equal shares: my husband, brother, sister and mother. The sister and the mother are at odds with us, accusing my husband of things that never happened and executing by proxy. As a result, nothing is getting done for the estate. My husband has suggested his mother defer her inheritance for tax reasons. She has more than enough money of her own for her own needs, and is without any estate planning. What are my husband's options?
-- Trying to help
A. Family disagreements over estates are unfortunate, and as you've seen can get really ugly.
There are steps your husband can take to protect himself and his interest in the estate.
"Your husband should exercise care in safeguarding and distributing the estate," said Frederick Schoenbrodt, an estate planning attorney with Drinker Biddle & Reath in Florham Park. "If he has not done so already, he should prepare an inventory of his uncle's assets and keep a careful accounting of assets received during administration and any distributions or disbursements."
When it comes time to make a final distribution, he will want these records to ensure that he can show that he properly administered the estate, Schoenbrodt said.
A carefully documented inventory of the tangible personal property in the home will offer him some protection against claims that he removed property from the home. Once that inventory is prepared, he might send the inventory to the named beneficiaries and ask that each of them identify any assets that they would like to receive within some reasonable period of time, Schoenbrodt suggested. Your husband can tell the beneficiaries that if they can agree on a plan to distribute the property, he will distribute the property according to the plan.
"He can inform them that any property that is not claimed by a certain date will be sold, donated or discarded," he said. "The proceeds of any sale would be added to the estate account and later distributed to the beneficiaries."
And, if they are at loggerheads over any particular item or items, they can draw straws to determine a selection order and settle the disagreement that way, he said.
Given that your husband's mother is the co-executor, and things are getting heated, there are options.
"If your husband cannot work with his co-executor, he can petition the court for instructions and relief," Schoenbrodt said. "Perhaps the court will agree with him that his mother is being unreasonable and either remove her as a co-executor or fashion some other appropriate relief."
One important note: Beyond explaining to his mother her options, your husband should not push her to disclaim her share of the estate, Schoenbrodt said.
"He may feel that she has enough already, but ultimately the decision is hers to make," he said. "I suggest that he respect her right to make that decision, regardless of whether he agrees with it."

Featured Golf News
Kansas Course to Host 2014 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship
Sand Creek Station Golf Course in Newton, Kan., has been selected by the United States Golf Association to host the 2014 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship. The dates of the championship are July 14-19.
"We are very excited about taking the Amateur Public Links Championship to Sand Creek Station," said Bill McCarthy, director of the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship for the USGA. "The golf course will present a terrific test for these elite players and I have no doubt that the city of Newton will roll out the red carpet to make it a great experience."
"The city of Newton is honored to be selected to host an event of this caliber at Sand Creek Station," said Ken Hall, mayor of the city of Newton, which owns Sand Creek Station. "It will be a wonderful opportunity to showcase the course and our community on a national stage, and we look forward to hosting some of the country's best golfers in Newton."
This will be the first USGA championship conducted at Sand Creek Station, which opened in 2006 and is managed by KemperSports. The course was designed by Jeffrey D. Brauer and is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. It takes its name from the Sand Creek, which borders several holes, and the town's history as a stop on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway.
The course hosted the 2008 and 2009 Wichita State University Ladies Fall Classic, and in 2012 it will host the National Junior College Athletic Association Men's Division I National Championship and the Kansas Golf Association's State Amateur Championship.
The U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship was established in 1922 and is open to amateur golfers who are bona fide public-course players and have not held privileges of any course that does not extend playing privileges to the general public, or privileges of any private club maintaining its own course, and have a USGA Handicap Index® not exceeding 4.4.
The 2012 Amateur Public Links will be conducted July 9-14 at Soldier Hollow Golf Course in Midway, Utah, while the 2013 championship will be conducted July 15-20 at Laurel Hill Golf Course in Lorton, Va.

Seems like it was only yesterday that we mention a 'fish shop' was opening on 3rd Avenue… well it's not exactly a fish shop, but dang it we were close. We now know it's a clam shop… a New England style clam shop named Littleneck to be exact. The place is owned by three young guys who have put it all on the line for a dream. They have been working hard everyday to get the place ready for the public excited and anxious to say: "Seafood in Gowanus!?".
Either yesterday or today a sign appeared on the front window that states: "Your neighborhood Seafood Joint will be open next weds. Join us for a bite and a glass of beer or wine. We will be accepting cash only. Thanx"
There it is folks… the day Gowanus gets Seafoodtastic!

This is a mediocre team. Mediocre D. Mediocre goaltending. Mediocre skill. Mediocre leadership. We should expect them to be around the middle of the pack, because they just aren't that good. This team isn't good enough to dominate its opponenents consistantly and it doesn't have the heart to do the little things that make mediocre teams into contenders. There was only one Jarome Iginla on the ice last night and he was on the other team. A goal and an assist when his team needed him most - leading by example, yelling from the bench, willing to do anything necesarry to get that win. The league doesn't have a surplus of Captains like that, and it sucks that all teams can't have one, but that's the way it goes.
Very nicely put Micah! Maybe this team has the pieces capable of making this a better team but the heart is not there most of the time... and inspired effort by one or 2 player now and then isn't going to cut it. I wish we could inject Helm's effort and work ethic into the rest of the team... then we'd see some change immediately

Billy Wynne was the sole survivor from the February medical helicopter crash.Video Transcript
YOU CAN'T FORGET THIS HORRIBLE SCENE IN FEBRUARY. A MEDICAL HELICOPTER WENT DOWN IN OKLAHOMA CITY. THE PILOT AND NURSE DIED, BUT THE PARAMEDIC SURVIVED. NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE'RE HEARING FROM THAT SOLE SURVIVOR. I SAT DOWN WITH BILLY WYNNE. AND TONIGHT, WE'RE SEEING HIS MIRACULOUS RECOVERY. BILLY WYNNE: "we weren't in the air very long and then all of sudden the helicopter started shaking side to side" BILLY: "a couple seconds later realized we had no power at all" BILLY: "and the last thing i remember was looking out the left window and seeing wal mart on nw expressway just looking for, i guess, spots to land. and then, that's where memory shuts off and i don't remember anything past that" BILLY WYNNE DOESN'T REMEMBER THE 500-FOOT DROP FROM THE SKY.. THE FORCE OF CRASHING INTO THE GROUND.. OR THE FLAMES THAT BURNED HIS BODY. HE DOESN'T REMEMBER THE WOMAN WHO PULLED HIM TO SAFETY.. THE EXPLOSION.. OR THE PARAMEDICS WHO RUSHED HIM AWAY. BILLY: "I remember bits and pieces of the ICU" AND BILLY COULD NOT FORGET PILOT MARK MONTGOMERY' AND NURSE CHRIS DENNING'. BILLY: "the hurt and pain physically i was going through, it didn't matter. i just couldn't understand why they died in this, how i came out of it and they didn't. that's the hardest part for me, i still don't understand that" BILLY SPENT SIX-MONTHS IN HOSPITALS, IN TWO STATES. 65-PERCENT OF HIS BODY BURNED..

BILLY CAN'T GET ON THE FLOOR AND PLAY WITH HIS SON. MOST DAYS, HE SITS IN THIS CHAIR. BILLY: "sometimes i cry a little. i've always been a problem solver and i don't give up. It's like alright how can we figure out how to get this done and i will figure it out, i will - it just takes some time" THAT PERSEVERANCE AND PATIENCE HAS LED HIM HERE... ONE OF THE FINAL FITTINGS FOR HIS BRAND NEW PROSTHETIC LEG. BILLY WALKING!!!! BILLY WALKS TO THE EDGE OF THE ROOM ... BILLY: " yeah, I like it." AND BACK... AND EVENTUALLY DOWN THE HALLWAY. WITH EACH STEP, HE GROWS STRONGER... AND SO DOES HIS BOND WITH HIS WIFE. KATY WYNNE/BILLY'S WIFE: "he really literally is a walking, talking miracle. i don't think i've ever loved him more than i do now" THEIR PATH AHEAD WON'T BE EASY. BUT AT 31, BILLY HAS A LOT OF LIFE LEFT IN HIM. BILLY: "i don't give up, i don't quit. it's not in me." HE'S A FIGHTER. HE HAS ALREADY PROVEN THAT.

Chittagong: Dhaka Gladiators kept their semifinal hopes alive in the inaugural Bangladesh Premier League after beating Sylhet Royals by 8 wickets at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on Wednesday.
After being put into bat, the Royals lost wickets at regular intervals to reach 128/7 in their 20 overs. Apart from Peter Trego (35) and Naeem Islam (28), none of their batsmen could deal with Naved-ul-Hasan (3/18) and Azhar Mahood (2/22).
The Gladiators were on the money in their chase with Imran Nazir (31 retired hurt), Mohd Ashraful (40), Azhar Mahmood (29) and Kieron Pollard (22 not out) making useful contributions to take them over the line with 43 balls to go.
Mahmood was adjudged the Man of the Match for his all-round show.
This was the Gladiator's fourth win in seven matches, and they now lie fourth in the six-team table. While the Royals suffered their seventh successive loss to prop up the table.

Talented Actor was once considered the most promising discovery in his batch. He crossed over from bit roles to mainstream stardom quite effortlessly.
However, TA squandered his good fortune, got hooked on drugs and became much too difficult to handle.
TA was a constant cause of delay on the set. Soon enough, the plug was pulled on his troubled project. Even Influential Benefactor dropped TA like a hot potato.
Determined to bounce back, TA made sure to attend the audition for a prestigious project. Unfortunately, he arrived late and was told to try his luck next time.
Can't teach an old dog.
This is another kind of gifted: Cute Hunk is raring to come out of the closet. He is often spotted making out with Mestizo Model in public.
CH is unruffled by all the pink rumors, though, and one idle chatter that he surely won't deny involves the family jewels. In a restroom, Showbiz Insider accidentally caught a glimpse and found them "impressive!"
No wonder MM finds CH irresistible, SI said.
Master of illusion
Has-been Heartthrob lost fame and fortune and the support of Powerful Benefactor in quick succession.
Was that because of HH's addiction to alcohol?
Starlet Lover soon abandoned HH, too. Turned out, he became abusive when soused.
To make ends meet, HH turned to wealthy gay clients.
In spite of his vices and vanishing looks, HH manages to delude one or two customers into believing that he's still the same matinee idol who top-billed top rating TV shows and acclaimed movies more than a decade ago.
Diva vs divo
Everyone wrongly concluded that Popular Actress was the reason for the delay of Huge Project. Actually, Male Costar was a bigger diva.
PA couldn't hide her disgust for MC's bad habits. While PA was effusive in praising Good-natured Partner, she remained mum on MC.
Her silence spoke volumes.
Starlet wars
Pretty Starlet and Stunning Starlet aren't merely squabbling over Gorgeous Artist; they're battling for fans' hearts as well.
PS lost this round because she badly needed to work on her public relations skills: During an out-of-town event, a young admirer approached PS for a snapshot. PS made a face while posing with the fan.
Trying to salvage the awkward situation, SS butted in and asked the kid for a souvenir shot. This good intention was lost on PS.
Sandy and Boyet's girl
Mariel de Leon, 19-year-old daughter of actors Christopher de Leon and Sandy Andolong, is currently training for a national beauty pageant, according to aunt Toni Abad.
Grandmom and former LVN screen goddess Lilia Dizon must be proud.

Davistown Community Garden
Last year, Walker School started a relationship with FoodCorps, which is in its second year. Our work last year focused on connecting an existing greenhouse to our school curriculum and ensuring that ALL students had opportunities to work in the greenhouse, and that those experiences were connected to our academic standards. This work was successful, with students ranging from our pre-K program to the fifth grade learning science through hands-on horticulture lessons, tying their writing to their work in the greenhouse, and applying their math skills in the planning of an outside garden to give a few examples. Our FoodCorps service member left behind extensive curriculum that she had written to match our schools specific learning standards so that teachers would have a resource for future work. Furthermore, we doubled our growing space last year through the creation of eight 4'x6' raised beds, whose design was the focal point for a grade 4/5 math project and which was the anchor for a summer garden project at our school, a first for our school.
This year we have a new FoodCorps service member, Christine Gall, who is equally adept at connecting deep learning with gardening and nutrition. Christine has extended the work done last year and has begun working with a group of community volunteers in the planning of extending our gardens further and opening them to the greater communities of Liberty and Montville, the two towns that the school serves, with hopes that the community will benefit from the work the school is doing, and that the school will benefit through the community involvement. Our goal is to double our outside growing space.
