Preview Colorado at Arizona
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Colorado Rockies, at least for the time being, are going nowhere.
The Arizona Diamondbacks locked the Rockies into last place in the National League West with a win in Friday's opener and will try to put additional distance between them on Saturday night in game two of a three-game weekend series at Chase Field.
Arizona is three games ahead of Colorado in the NL West.
The Diamondbacks have won just eight times in 25 August games, but have beaten Colorado in all but one of their last eight meetings. The Rockies are tied with Texas for the worst record in the major leagues.
Arizona lefty Vidal Nuno will try again for his initial victory since arriving to the Diamondbacks from the New York Yankees in early July. He's received only 18 runs of offense across nine starts.
Nuno has been effective in his last three starts while compiling a 2.70 earned run average, and he's coming off a 7 1/3-inning stint against San Diego last Saturday in which he got a no-decision in Arizona's 5-2 win.
The Diamondbacks are 1-8 in his nine outings.
"I just try to go deep in the games," Nuno said. "The outcome has been unlucky, but just keep on fighting and I'll get it."
He has never started against the Rockies, who've won just four times in their last 31 road games and have scored only five runs while losing their last four games.
Tyler Matzek gets his second crack at the Diamondbacks this month for Colorado.
He pitched five innings and was dinged for three runs, four hits and five walks in a 5-3 loss on Aug. 8. He'd dropped five consecutive starts before Monday, when he topped San Francisco, 3-2, with seven innings of two-run ball.
In his prior seven road starts, he's been 0-5 with a 6.23 ERA.
"It's good to go out there and help the team win," Matzek said.
The youngster has thrown 150 2/3 innings -- his career high -- between the majors and Triple-A Colorado Springs this season.
On Friday, Jake Lamb's first career grand slam, coming with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning, lifted Arizona to a 5-2 victory over Colorado.
Rex Brothers (4-6) walked Ender Inciarte and Cliff Pennington to start the inning, then uncorked a wild pitch which put both in scoring position. David Peralta walked and Adam Ottavino was summoned. He induced a comebacker from Mark Trumbo which turned into a force at the plate, before Miguel Montero fanned. Lamb then put the hosts ahead for good with a shot to dead-center which cleared the yellow line with plenty of room to spare.
Brad Ziegler (5-2) allowed a run on three hits in the top of the eighth before Lamb came to the rescue. Addison Reed tossed a scoreless ninth to earn his 31st save.
Pennington drew three walks, while Peralta scored twice for the Diamondbacks, who needed just three hits to snap a three-game slide.
Nolan Arenado and Charlie Blackmon drove in a run each for the Rockies, losers in four consecutive contests.

The Devils finally have a legitimate goal scorer, and this one is coming to New Jersey with a chip on his shoulder after a surprising trade.
The Devils on Wednesday acquired a 'slighted' Taylor Hall from the Edmonton Oilers in a straight-up deal for defenseman Adam Larsson.
The surprising move two days before the start of free agency gives the goal-starved Devils an exciting young left wing who was the No. 1 pick overall in 2010, while the Oilers get a solid defenseman who was the No. 4 overall selection in 2011.
An emotional Hall admitted the move caught him off guard after dealing with six losing seasons in Edmonton.
"It's tough," the 24-year-old...

MILL HALL - When Mifflin County travels into Malinak Stadium to face the Wildcats, you can expect a hard, physical game.
That was exactly what fans in Bald Eagle Township were treated to Friday as the Huskies and Central Mountain locked horns in a battle that wasn't decided until late in the fourth quarter.
With the game locked up at 6-6, Mifflin County was able to put two late touchdowns on the board to secure a 19-6 victory over their District 6 Class AAAA foe.

Sentinel photo by NATE?WILSON
Mifflin County running back Tim Beck (21)?carries the ball while a Central Mountain defender hangs on Friday in Mill Hall.
It was a game that featured an inspiring performance from Central Mountain's Von Walker and solid defensive play from the Wildcats - it was just a matter of lost opportunities.
"We had our chances to win this game," Central Mountain coach Vinnie Kishbaugh said. "Our inability to throw the ball made us one-dimensional. That is what ultimately hurt us. Walker almost won us that game by himself."
From the opening drive, the Wildcats battled through small miscues - including a roughing the punter penalty on a blocked punt.
Fact Box
r Mifflin County hosts Carlisle Sept. 21
Looking like the Huskies were going to go three-and-out, Central Mountain got flagged for roughing the punter - giving Mifflin County new life.
Shane Whalen took full advantage of that new life as he connect with Heath Hidlay on a 40-yard pass two plays later, setting the Huskies up in Central Mountain territory.
"I think he (Whalen) is getting better," Miskinis said. "Our line is coming together and he is getting some extra time. The offensive line is picking up the stunts and that allowed him the time to find the open guy tonight."
On a third-and-long on the same drive, Whalen hooked up with Hidlay again, this time for 11 yards, a first down. That set up a 3-yard Kyle Kahley touchdown run.
"Anytime you have a chance to move the ball on the opening drive, especially on the road, it sets the tone," Miskinis said. "We were able to take the crowd out of the game for the most part and get some points on the board. That was big for us."
Walker put on quite a show, rushing the ball 17 times for 154 yards with one touchdown, added another 34 through the air on 4-for-9 passing and played a solid game defensively in new role. But that touchdown proved to be the last time Central Mountain would see its own end zone.
Early in the fourth, Mifflin County took over with only 27 yards between the Huskies and a lead. Hidlay and Tim Beck teamed up to chew up most of those yards, plunging the ball across the line with 8:29 to go in the game, putting Mifflin County on top, 13-6.
After a quick three-and-out from Central Mountain, the Huskies got the ball back on the 39 and Hidlay quickly ate up 31 of those yards on a third-down rush. Then Kahley finished the drive off with a touchdown run and secured the game, 19-6.
The Wildcats did a little shifting and moved Walker to the middle linebacker position. He responded by creating chaos for the Husky offense for most of the game.
"He was unbelievable tonight," Kishbaugh said. "He was causing fits on the offensive line and they didn't know what to do with him. He played an amazing game on both ends of the field."
With the Huskies keying on the senior Wildcat, Walker took big hit after big hit and still got up.
Not only did he get up, but he put Central Mountain in positions to be successful.
"Give CM credit," Mifflin County coach George Miskinis said. "They are a great team. Von is an exceptional talent and he had an amazing game for them tonight. Coach Kishbaugh is doing a great job with these guys and they were a hard out tonight."
Defensively, it was a solid game played by both teams.
Central Mountain finished with 155 yards of total offense, while Mifflin County managed 251 yards.
"Our defensive coach (Justin) Armbruster is a great defensive mind," Kishbaugh said. "He knew what was coming and he kept trying to mix things up on the Huskies. We brought some outside pressure at times and our defense did a great job of executing tonight."
Another missed chance came in the opening drive of the second half.
With the score tied at six, Walker shook off two would-be tacklers and broke off a huge 73-yard rush down the sideline, only to see the play called back for a holding penalty.
Again in the third quarter, Central Mountain had the chance to grab the lead, with a fourth-and-goal on its own 20, Nick Noll booted a 37-yard field goal, only to have a defensive penalty negate the kick. With three points taken off the board and five yards closer, Noll's kick this time was partially blocked, bouncing harmlessly into the end zone and keeping the score tied.
"I am not making excuses, because that isn't what we teach our kids," Kishbaugh said. "But there were some terrible calls tonight. We had a roughing call on a blocked kick. That wasn't a good call at all and it ended up changing the momentum. There are things that we didn't have control over tonight that cost us big."
But time and again, Central Mountain was given chances, mostly by the play of standout Walker.
Just look at his first run of the night.
On the Wildcats' second drive of the night, Walker followed Blaze Buckwalter through the line and slashed his way into the end zone for a 32-yard touchdown.
Walker fought as hard as he could to keep the Wildcats in the game, at last, Mifflin County was able to wear Central Mountain down, picking up two touchdowns on short fields.
Mifflin County (2-1) opens its Mid-Pen Conference slate with Carlisle Friday at Mitchell Field.

French Tomato Tart
This week I saw the first promise of tomato season. A few brightly colored cherry specimens were brought home from the local market, as well as the more standard varieties. I was down in Gascony visiting my friend Kate Hill, and her photographer friend Tim Clinch was there preparing to lead a photography workshop. Looking for something tempting and colorful, tomatoes seemed the obvious choice as willing subjects.
In addition to the profusion of flowers plucked from the lush garden by the canal du Midi, the tomatoes had their moment in front of the camera. But once the participants stopped clicking, we grabbed them and put them where they rightfully belong: In the kitchen.
In France, tarts are not considered "special occasion" fare, and if you're invited to someone's house for a meal, even the most inept home cook will make a quiche or tarte salée, which will surprise you when they present a stunning tart à table, looking just about as good as anything whipped up from the local bakery.
True, some cooks here cheat a bit and use pre-purchased pâte brisée, which you can buy in the supermarket refrigerator case where it's sold rolled up and boxed like plastic wrap. However I will concede that it does make quick work of making a savory tart and on more than one occasion I've been duped by someone, whose tart I've complimented, which prompted what I call "The Garbage Can Confessional": when someone has to fess up and extract an empty box from the poubelle, usually from Picard, France's popular frozen food chain.
I've not bought or used the pre-made stuff, however tempting it might be (!) but this dough is as easy as pie to make and roll out. And by the time it takes to go to the store and buy the dough, you can make this. I haven't tried it with the French tart dough recipe but Kate assured me it would work with either an unbaked or pre-baked tart shell.
Unlike other savory tarts, such as the Herbed Ricotta Tart, this one has no custard or cream added; it's just sliced tomatoes, fresh herbs, and sliced rounds of soft goat cheese, which get browned on top. Without a rich custard, the taste and texture of the tomatoes doesn't get lost. But the fresh goat cheese is wonderful, especially when it gets all crusty-brown on top, and warm and creamy-soft inside. You could swap out another cheese that you like, such as comté, haloumi, or fontina, or another favorite fromage which melts well.
Ditto with the fresh herbs. A few steps outside of her always-buzzing kitchen are big bunches of herbs growing in verdant, leafy profusion. Thyme, variegated two-color sage, lovage, and savory are well-represented, but I was especially pleased to find fresh oregano, which for some reason is elusive in Paris.
So when she wasn't looking, I clipped a few sprigs (ok, more than a few sprigs), which I squirreled away in my suitcase. Along with the homemade red wine vinegar and foie gras that she did give me. Plus I had some bitter chestnut honey that I picked up at the market in Cahors. (And, of course, a trip to the local antique market yielded me a few vintage wine glasses and Kate scored three gorgeous old French jam jars for just €5 a pop.)
I'm not a fan of sweet-savory cooking—with a few exceptions, most notably glazed Korean chicken wings, but when I saw the sticky jar of brusque miel de ronce (wild blackberry honey) on her counter, I suggested drizzling a bit over the tart just before baking. We had a bit of dough leftover, so it got rolled out and we made a mini-tart to give it a try. And it was a big hit.
But the real stroke of genius, I think, is the layer of mustard you spread on the tart, which provides a spicy back-bite to the baked tomato slices. You can go as easy or as generous as you want. The French love their Dijon mustard so don't be shy: a layer that's a thick as what you'd spread on a sandwich is just about right.
Perfect hot from the oven, or mighty good at room temperature as well, this is perfect summertime fare. You could pair it with the proverbial leafy green salad or go whole hog and serve it on a buffet with PLTs (Pig, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwiches). But in my mind, the best accompaniment are glasses of rosé over ice. And from the number of bottles we went through that afternoon, no one seemed to disagree.
French Tomato Tart
One 9- or 10-inch (23-25 cm) tart
Adapted from A Culinary Journey in Gascony
Because this is 'country-style' fare, this tart is open to lots of interpretation. For those of you with tart dough "issues", you can make this either free-style or in a fluted tart ring with a removable bottom. Kate didn't let the dough rest, but simply rolled it out, transferred it into the tart ring, and ran the rolling pin over the dough to neatly shear away the edges.
If you wish to make a free-style tart, roll the dough out to about 14-inches across, then transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Assemble the tart, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border, which you'll then fold up to enclose the tart.
Depending on the size of your pan, you may have a bit of dough leftover. We used it to make a few mini-tartlets, which we enjoyed later than evening with our aperitifs.
Tart Filling
- One unbaked tart dough (see recipe, below)
- Dijon or whole-grain mustard
- 2-3 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- two generous tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme, chives, chervil, or tarragon
- 8 ounces (250 g) fresh or slightly aged goat cheese, sliced into rounds
- Optional: 1 1/2 tablespoons flavorful honey
Tart Dough
1 1/2 cups (210 g) flour
4 1/2 ounces (125 g) unsalted butter, chilled, cut into cubes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
2-3 tablespoons cold water
1. Make the dough by mixing the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and use your hands, or a pastry blender, to break in the butter until the mixture has a crumbly, cornmeal-like texture.
2. Mix the egg with 2 tablespoons of the water. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the beaten egg mixture, stirring the mixture until the dough holds together. If it's not coming together easily, add the additional tablespoon of ice water.
3. Gather the dough into a ball and roll the dough on a lightly floured surface, adding additional flour only as necessary to keep the dough from sticking to the counter.
4. Once the dough is large enough so that it will cover the bottom of the pan and go up the sides, roll the dough around the rolling pin then unroll it over the tart pan. "Dock" the bottom of the pastry firmly with your fingertips a few times, pressing in to make indentations.
If making a freestyle tart, simply transfer the dough to a prepared baking sheet (see headnote); no need to make indentations with your fingers.
5. Preheat the oven to 425ºF (218ºC). See note.
6. Spread an even layer of mustard over the bottom of the tart dough and let it sit a few minutes to dry out.
7. Slice the tomatoes and arrange them over the mustard in a single, even layer. Drizzle the olive oil over the top.
8. Sprinkle with some chopped fresh herbs, then arrange the slices of goat cheese on top. Add some more fresh herbs, then drizzle with some honey, if using.
(If baking a free-form tart, gather the edges when you're done, to envelope the filling.)
9. Bake the tart for 30 minutes or so, until the dough is cooked, the tomatoes are tender, and the cheese on top is nicely browned. Depending on the heat of your oven, if the cheese doesn't brown as much as you'd like it, you might want to pass it under the broiler until it's just right.
Note: Kate indeed does cook her tart in a very hot oven. You might wish to check the tart midway through baking and turn it down a bit in case the top is getting too dark, before the crust and tomatoes appear to be cooked.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - Standing in Saturday's sunshine, Kristin Alexander, the executive director of The Potomac Valley Audubon Society, gave out directions and helped people with questions during the Race for the Birds at the National Conservation Training Center.
The race consisted of a course that went through the training center's grounds and trails, with a 7-mile course and a 4-mile course, both professionally timed, and shorter, untimed races for families, walkers and a "fun run" for children.
Alexander said this is the 12th year the society has held the race, with the goal to get people outside, enjoy nature and be able to find a natural connection.

The crowd cheers as Laura Robic of Hillsboro, Va., crosses the finish line Saturday during The Potomac Valley Audubon Society's Race for the Birds in Shepherdstown.
"This is a great opportunity to get people outside and enjoy the beautiful trails at the Natural Conservation Training Center, which has a very good conservation mission which is similar to ours," Alexander said.
The race also functions as a fundraiser for the society's educational programs.
Depending on the number of participants, the weather and other factors, she said the average funds raised from the event range between $5,000 and $8,000.
Saturday's event drew in more than 200 racers for the timed events, and more for the 2-mile loop for joggers, walkers and families.
"The purpose of our (race) is to get people outside and enjoy nature, enjoy the natural world and get out in the trails," Alexander said.
The Potomac Valley Audubon Society works in Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties in West Virginia and Washington County, Md., and offers a variety of programs for children and adults that includes summer camps, school programs, bird walks and adult outings to places such as the Smithsonian.
The home base for the organization is in Shepherdstown.
She said while many people think of the society as working with birds, and that is part of the mission, enjoying nature as a whole and all the things it has to offer is something the organization strives to bring to both adults and children.
"We are not just about birds, although we do some birding things, but it's a whole variety," Alexander said. "We want people to bond with nature, appreciate it and take care of it."

............anybody with views ? just tutes takin it for the down ride and later on ride it back up ? merely simple fraud manipulation here ? or is it contents of piper jaffey note this morng w/r to bundling and govt forcing lower costs upon drug companies......
sales down of Omonty's drug 23% in Nov. This is just what sickens me. Stock tanks and the info leaked early but NOT TO US...obviously. Very clear reason. I guess earnings came out today. :( IT's a good drug. Why sales down..needs further investigation.
The end of the piper note said to use the volatility to purchase shares on weakness.
Sentiment: Buy
The management is just a phone call away. You have the right to ask question at a time like this. This is way oversold if there isnt bad news pending. If there is, i suspect we would have heard by now if there is any.
Dropping 11% + on such high volume is quite a bit concerning.
Whenever I've seen this type of drop on no news or no meaningful news, the insiders know something retail longs don't and the storm hits later, like the next couple days after.
Guys, the bundling and pricing gives AFYY the ADVANTAGE over epo... This is great buying opportunity again as they are sure to gain even mor emarket share.

MASON COUNTY, MI – A longtime entertainment 'legend' in Mason County has died, the Mason County Press has reported.
Johnny Urban died over the weekend at the age of 85. Johnny was best known as the owner of Johnny's of Custer, roller rink, restaurant, night club and bar located on U.S. 31.
Johnny and his twin brother, Tony, built Northern Gardens Roller Rink in 1948 when they were 18-years-old, according to former manager Dan Reinoehl, the Mason County Press reported.
In 1954, Johnny bought out his brother and re-named the facility Johnny's of Custer. The place grew into a restaurant and then also a night club, bringing in acts that eventually would make it big, the press reported.
In the 1990s Johnny took over ownership of the business. The roller skating rink was separated and sold.
Johnny was also the current president of the Custer Village Council, a position he has held for many decades. Reinoehl, also a village councilor, said he believed Johnny had been on the council for over 60 years, the Mason County Press reported.

*I made a painting of this subject with a nightingale on her shoulder. So the model is about to feed her companion with the sunflower seed she is holding. I really like the idea that this bird has so many mythical connotations. For certain romantic poets it took on the quality of a muse, and thats how I used it in this painting... well, I guess that because the nightingale is not in this drawing I might be getting a bit off topic. I love this quote though. Shelley wrote in his "A Defense of Poetry":
- "A poet is a nightingale who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors (listeners) are as men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel that they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why."

In an effort to eat more healthfully in the New Year, are you finding yourself trying to eat more salads? That's great. Salads can be low in calories and high in fiber while adding some of those important vegetables to your diet, but finding a good salad dressing that isn't too high in calories, fats or sodium isn't easy. Reading the nutrition facts labels on commercial salad dressings can really disappoint and discourage even the most healthful eater.

It's a great little appliance that cooks dinner while you're away. What could be better than that? Of course I'm talking about a slow cooker. Most people call them by their trademarked name Crock Pot, but the generic term is slow cooker. There are many styles made by different companies available.

Each new year sparks time to reflect on the past and look to the future. Many see this time as an opportunity to make changes in their lives. That's where those New Year's resolutions come into play. So frequently people set goals to do something good for themselves in the new year. Unfortunately, quite often these are goals are very unrealistic.
No "Bah Humbugs" from me this week, just a few tips and ideas to help encourage positive and healthy practices to get us all through the holidays.
Yes, your favorite foods are available (and usually lots of them) this time of year. So treat yourself while trying to be realistic. Go ahead and eat some of those cookies or other holiday goodies…just do so in moderation. Feeling like a martyr about food or trying to give it up completely tends to backfire. Holidays are all about balance.
Be picky

You don't need me to tell you that Christmas is getting closer and closer. Many folks still have plans to making and give some homemade or home-baked gifts this year. With that in mind I have two thoughts to share about homemade gifts, one a caution and the other a quick and somewhat healthful idea.
I'm seeing a lot of articles, recipes and ideas about how to stay healthy over the holidays. I wonder: How many people really try to do this? We have an annual brunch for our neighbors and everyone brings something to share. Most often these foods are holiday favorites that get dug out of the recipe box and this is the only time of year they are made, but if you're trying to eat healthy, sometimes it's hard to find something to eat amongst the sweets, cheese-laden egg dishes and other goodies.

They say Black Friday is starting to turn a bit gray because shoppers have so many more options for spending money because so many stores were open on Thanksgiving Day. Yep, the holiday season is upon us, and that means spending lots of money on stuff — including Christmas trees.
The inaugural Family and Consumer Sciences Day is Wednesday, Dec. 3. In observance of this day, the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences and the National Extension Association for Family and Consumer Sciences are asking families to plan and eat a healthy meal together. They are calling for this to be Dining-in Day.

This is one of those columns that will be printed in the newspaper just before a holiday. I'm guessing that some folks are reading it before Thanksgiving, but others may not get a chance until after the holiday. With that thought in mind, I'm writing both before and after Thanksgiving tips.
Eating out has become a part of many of our lives. Although it may be easier to eat more healthfully at home, there are still a variety of ways to eat at a restaurant and eat more healthfully.
Although vegetables and salads may seem like the answer, they can also be a haven for added fat or sodium. Salad bars can be dangerous. Here are a few tips:

Obamacare is doomed by sky-high drug prices
The vast majority of the millions of Americans receiving cancellation notices from their insurance companies prefer to keep both their existing insurance coverage and its lower cost compared to what's being offered in the Obamacare exchanges. They do not consider themselves "underinsured," as President Obama claims. They see that he broke his promise that they could keep their existing plans.
These are predominantly small-employer and individual pay plans with no deductible and no co-insurance, i.e., excellent tailored plans that require just a $10 to $20 co-pay per visit. However, most of these groups lack a prescription drug rider – a requirement of Obamacare – which typically doubles the cost of health plans. Under the Affordable Care Act, this supposed "deficiency" has enabled greedy insurance companies to cancel these policies and to force people into the exchanges, where only deductible/co-insurance plans are available, often at more than double the out-of-pocket cost of their existing plans.
The New York Times, among others, has shown American prescription drug costs to be up to 10 times those of Canada and Europe. Repeated calls by AARP and others for effective drug-cost controls, long in place in most civilized countries, have fallen on deaf ears here.
Instead, Obama brought in Liz Fowler, a vice president at health insurance giant Wellpoint, to write the health law. Afterward, Fowler went to work for drug giant Johnson & Johnson. No surprise, then, that the health insurance industry and the drug industry tag team are projecting huge profits from the ACA.
Recent poll numbers show rampant public displeasure with Obamacare. Will Congress pass Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu's sensible solution, the Keeping the Affordable Care Act Promise Act? Or will we have to wait until next year's congressional elections for that outrage to register?

Many states record their death row inmates requested last meals before execution. Given the power of the web, you can increasingly view these requests. Some last meal requests read like eating competitions, while others look like a casual order at a greasy spoon. An Arizona listing for 2000 struck me in the true finality of this meal request…
- 2 guacamole tostadas;
2 tacos;
1 strawberry malt;
1 Dr. pepper;
1 lemon meringue pie;
5 whole jalapenos;
1 lemon,
1 lime;
1 qt strawberry ice cream
This meal has a wonderful rhythm to it of creamy comfort and taste bud zingers. Negating the instances that brought these prisoners to this decision, the request for jalapenos, limes, and lemons rocks my core. This is a plea to experience life in a final act, through the mouth. A lemon for the excitment of running down the street, and a spoonful of strawberry ice cream equating to a comforting embrace?
Many US state recordings of last meal requests state that these are simply requests- and not fulfilled for the prisoners. According to Texas Death Row Chef, Brian Price, the meals are often similar though depending on the request.
This season of feeling thankful, spend a moment rubber-necking these meal listings. I urge you to think beyond death penalty politics, and crime details. Consider the humanity of unfullfillment and chose one of these meals to serve to your family this thankful season.

There's actually a whole blog about this – stating each prisoner's request just before.. umm, the execution. It's scary, but fascinating, too. http://www.deadmaneating.com/
I won't be doing any cooking today but thanks for getting me to think of them today.
A few weeks ago I did a project for my advanced painting class inspired by this post (I was reading your archives and came across it). We had to do something about "a controversial social issue." Before I saw this post, I was totally stumped. If you'd like to check it out, I posted it on craftster. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=153422.0 (There's alot of other things I did in that class as well, the one inspired by this is near the bottom.) I just wanted to thank you for the inspiration. (I used the one that impacted you so much. It really spoke to me as well.)
It's more than the humanity of unfulfillment. It's the humanity of putting humans to death. And the hypocrisy of this act.

Blasdell Police Lt. Joseph A. Gramaglia told the Village Board on Wednesday that the intervention of residents was pivotal in apprehending a suspect in a triple burglary last week.
The break-ins, all on McGurk Avenue, were halted when the homeowner at the third residence surprised the intruder. He was scared off, but residents helped both the Blasdell and Lackawanna police zero in on the suspect, Adam E. Krytus, 25, of West Seneca, when he took off on his bicycle and slipped into a trailer park.
Once police caught up with Krytus, they were able to recover items from two of the three break-ins, Gramaglia said.
"We had great resident intervention, and we were able to quickly apprehend the suspect," the lieutenant said.
Krytus, already on probation, was originally charged with one count of burglary but will likely be charged with additional counts, Gramaglia said.
The lieutenant also warned residents to be more diligent about keeping their windows closed when they're not at home during the warm-weather months.
In another police matter, Gramaglia thanked the board for purchasing a new bicycle for patrol purposes. The Trek bicycle went into service Wednesday at the opening of the village's Farmers' Market and will be used when a Blasdell officer attends the police bike school at the University at Buffalo later this summer. The department's old bike broke while an officer was training at the event last year.
Gramaglia described the bike patrol program as "aggressive."
In other matters, Deputy Mayor Louis A. McDonald encouraged residents to join the village cleanup Saturday. Volunteers will meet at 9 a.m. in Firemen's Memorial Park on Lake Avenue, where cleanup gear will be available along with coffee, doughnuts and water.
At noon, all Blasdell volunteers are invited to attend a hot dog roast with Hamburg volunteers at Town of Hamburg Hall, 6100 South Park Ave.
Also, the state Department of Transportation will begin roadwork on Lake and South Park avenues June 1. Village Administrator Janet L. Plarr said residents will be notified as more information becomes available.

Mary Childs raised eight children on her own and insisted on playing a role in raising her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. One of those great-grandchildren, Arbrielle Douse, was spending the night at Childs' house on Pinecrest Avenue when a fire started late on the night of Dec. 20. Both Childs, 82, and Douse, 3, died in the blaze.
"I don't think we are ever going to get over it; I really don't," said Jennifer Childs of her grandchild and mother's deaths. "But it will probably get easier eventually. They're going to be missed. Both of them are going to be missed."
Jennifer Childs and other members of her family gathered on Sunday at the home of her sister, Linda Childs, on Brucewood Street to mourn and receive friends.
A joint funeral for Mary Childs and Douse is scheduled for Friday at 11 a.m. at River of Life Church on Columbia Highway North.
"My momma was a strong woman," said Carolyn Childs of Mary Childs. "If she liked you, she liked you, and if she didn't like you, you would know that she didn't. It was hard for her to come out and say, 'I love you,' but we knew that she loved us. She loved her grandkids, and she loved her great-grandkids. She loved them to death."
Mary Childs worked in a kitchen of a nursing home and did some housecleaning to earn money, but most of the single mother's time was devoted to taking care of her children. She assigned them chores and made sure that they did them in an effort to teach responsibility. She also made sure that they had plenty of good food to eat. Their favorites were sour cream pound cake, potato salad and fried chicken.
"She was a great cook," Jennifer Childs said. "She just had that touch. We could go home and put the same stuff on our fried chicken, but ours would never taste like hers. I don't know what it was. Maybe she did something extra to it and didn't tell us."
Even though Mary Childs would have celebrated her 83rd birthday the day after Christmas, she was healthy and didn't have to take any medication, according to her family. She raked her yard regularly to keep it neat. She also enjoyed baby-sitting her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and she was very firm in letting everyone know that she was going to be an important part of their lives.
"She didn't want her grandkids and great-grandkids to be in day care," Jennifer Childs said. "She didn't think it was good for them. She said they couldn't talk and really tell you what was happening. She said if she took care of them herself, she knew that she was going to be good to them."
Douse was known to her family as Princess Brie, Amberlie and Gabby.
"Her favorite name was Amberlie," Jennifer Childs said.
Douse stayed with her great-grandmother when her mother, Angel Childs, attended classes at Aiken Technical College and at other times as well. Every Wednesday, Douse, Mary Childs and Linda Childs would go to the Roses store on Richland Avenue to shop.
"Even though she (Douse) didn't have a dime," Linda Childs said, "she would always end up with a bag full of stuff like bubblegum and candy that me or my momma had bought her."
Linda described her great-niece as a girly girl who was smart and precocious. Douse loved to answer the telephone, and she could carry on conversations with her elders better than most children her age.
"The other night, I came home from work," Linda recalled, "and she told me, 'Aunt Linda, come in here, and let's sit down and talk.' We sat down and she said, 'Aunt Linda, how was your day?' And then she said, 'Aunt Linda, tell me exactly what you did at work.'"
Not long before Douse died, she received a bag of inexpensive jewelry from Jennifer Childs. She put the rings in it on each of her fingers and couldn't wait to tell her mother about her sparkly gifts.
Linda Childs bought Douse a lilac dress with the Disney mermaid Ariel appliqued on it and matching lilac slippers with dark purple bows and big rhinestones for Christmas. Douse will be buried in that outfit, Linda said.
Looking at the dress and slippers, which were in a box that Linda had pulled out from under her Christmas tree, Jennifer Childs said: "That was Princess Brie all the way."

By KRIS KLOTZ
Like many people, I struggle to reconcile the idealism of my moral beliefs and the practical demands of daily life. While I grew up in Montoursville, I've spent the last two years studying theology in Claremont, California. In order to apply this education at the practical level, I've returned home to serve as an AmeriCorps member with Pennsylvania Interfaith Power & Light (PA IPL), a religious response to climate change.
With two other members of PA IPL, I recently took a four-day bicycle trip from State College to Washington, D.C. Throughout, I often found myself lingering behind my friends, at times overwhelmed by the beauty (and mystery) of my native state. I've been familiar with these kinds of scenes all my life, but I'm used to racing past them in a car. At a meager 10 miles per hour, though, the glory of Pennsylvania's forests and mountains is unavoidable.
During one of these reflective moments, I asked myself: How many people in this world feel this sort of connection to their homes, their surroundings? How many are fortunate enough to witness what is given to us? Of course, this is a loaded question. We know that the world's climate is undergoing dramatic changes. With our millions of vehicles and our coal-fired power plants, Pennsylvanians are responsible for one percent of the world's total carbon dioxide emissions (more than 101 countries combined). We cannot deny that our daily actions have a detrimental influence on the lives of others throughout the world, including both present and future generations.
While the scientific community attests to the certainty of this information, they don't tell us how we should react to these claims. Science only gives us information. Religion, on the other hand, teaches us that we have a duty to those whom are touched by our actions. This sentiment is expressed in the following two commandments: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself'" (Matthew 22:37-40). We should notice that loving our neighbors is similar to loving God. In a global economy, though, we must admit that our neighbors are spread throughout the world.
I understand that some may see these religious values as hopeless idealism. From a practical perspective, I recognize that, taken seriously, religious duties of caring for our neighbors may require limitations on industry. For me, this hits home. During recent visits with my family, I've witnessed the thriving economy of the Williamsport area due to investments by the natural gas industry. My friends and family have benefited a great deal, whether through employment, gas leases, or increased business activity.
While I offer thanks for the success of my friends and family, I also want to work for a future in which Pennsylvanians (including my nieces and nephews) will enjoy an economy that can thrive beyond the lifespan of non-renewable resources. A Pennsylvania with jobs and clean air, with economic success in the present and the possibility of the same in the future. The two do not have to be mutually exclusive.
This is not to ignore the fact that difficult choices have to be made. The transition from an economy based on non-renewable resources (whether coal or natural gas) to one based on sustainable resources would require sacrifice. The mere thought of such a transition can be daunting, even overwhelming. However, we can meet this challenge with incremental changes in the way we produce and consume energy. The EPA's new rules to limit carbon pollution from any new power plant are a good example of this kind of change. We can also make immediate and simple changes in our daily lives: Drive less, use compact fluorescent light bulbs, turn off the air conditioner.
From a practical perspective, these changes are an important step in the right direction, but ultimately I look at this problem from a religious point of view. From this perspective, I recognize that what I have called a "sacrifice" is, in fact, a religious duty. According to this duty, our goal must be to ensure the best possible future for our neighbors and future generations.

Nokia (NYSE: NOK ) announced a series of layoffs today and the market reaction was a bit mixed. In the video below, Motley Fool tech and telecom analyst Eric Bleeker tells us why he sees this as a very positive move for the long term. He tells us to try not to focus so much on the short-term market fluctuations, and instead keep an eye to how Nokia is repositioning itself from a top brand in inexpensive commodity phones to its goal of cementing itself as a solid third-place competitor in the smartphone market. To do that, reducing its costs by making employment cutbacks is a necessary (though unfortunate) move.
Nokia's been struggling in a world of Apple and Android smartphone dominance. However, the company has banked its future on its next generation of Windows smartphones. Motley Fool analyst Charly Travers has created a new premium report that digs into both the opportunities and risks facing Nokia to help investors decide if the company is a buy or sell.

On Kawhi Leonard's injury last night
Remember last night when I mentioned the curious moment when a visibly-shaken Kawhi Leonard intentionally fouled to get himself out of the game? Yeah, it appears we have an explanation:
Then there was the peculiar injury that forced Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard to leave the most tense portion of the game with 1:31 remaining. He suffered a gash on his kneecap when he fell to the court and encountered a nail sticking up from the hardwood.
"I just hit the hardwood on one of those nails, really hard," said Leonard, who made two of the biggest plays of the period for the Spurs. "It busted my knee wide open.
"It kind of felt funny when I tried to explode up the court when we got the ball and I tried to cut to the basket, so I had to come out and see what was wrong before I injured it worse."
The timing of the injury is what led me to believe there was something odd going on. Kawhi Leonard doesn't seem like the type to voluntarily (nay, INSIST he) leave the game when things are tight and the outcome isn't quite decided. It just seemed like unusual behavior from him. I don't want to toot my own horn or anything, but I think I was right.
No word on his availability for Wednesday against the Hornets.

I've just been informed that ca halls in Richmond, VA, Pittsburgh, PA and possibly Crownsville, MD have multiple sattelite dishes and antenas. Does anyone know why?
Circuit Assembly Halls
by jamiebowers 14 Replies latest jw friends
sweet pea
They get money from the people that own them to have them placed there?
It's usually about the money.......
Do they COs, DOs, or caretakers that live in them?
Do they COs, DOs, or caretakers that live in them?
I don't know...will try to find out.
Crownsville, MD does have residents in it (although not at the moment since they are rebuilding it).
Most Assembly Halls, at least the ones built in the last 20-30 years, have 2,3, maybe 4 apartments in them. One for an Assembly Hall Overseer who lives there and is a building caretaker, one or 2 for a DO and/or maybe a CO, and one or 2 for visiting speakers from Bethel or other visiting "dignitaries".
Probably the satellite dish is for the ones living there.
My thought exactly, sir82.
I think the sattelite dishes are old school technology that has been replaced by high speed internet.
I remember seeing the sattelite dish at several sites. I doubt they are used anymore. I doubt they were ever used to beam the talks to heaven.
We still use a small dish from Directv. It is still a feature seen all over in the midwest.
AK - Jeff
Are they DirectTV or Dish units? Or are they of other types? Sattelite communication with the AH's - I doubt it though.
Thanks for the responses. But these sattelites are much larger than what would be used or Direct TV. Some of them are 6 or 8 feet wide. There are residents in all of the halls listed.
They could be old ones that they don't use any more. We drive by houses out here with those big ones and they have the directv/dish ones on the house.
Maybe they channel messages from God..........ha
Possibly setting up a PPV venue for boxing matches, etc. Make a few bucks. ?
If these were located in Brooklyn, NY, a reasonable guess would be they are Jehovah's method of communicating with the governing body.
halls in nj that host overseers pay for their monthly bill of satellite dish. I have seen the $59 or so monthly charge

Cerritos College News Release - April 2009
Girl on the Hood: Northwood Student Driven by Unwavering Passion for Wheels
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 22, 2009
Media Contact: Aya Abelon, Public Affairs; (562) 860-2451 ext. 2287
NORWALK, Calif. – April 22, 2009 – The automotive industry is often considered a male trade. However, this was not the case for Noemi Castro, an automotive marketing major at Northwood University at Cerritos College.
"My parents were always supportive…even though the automotive industry wasn't a typical field for a girl," Castro laughed.
Castro is the oldest of four siblings. Born in Mexico, she migrated at the age of one year to California with her parents, who were looking for opportunities America had to offer. She grew up in the small town of Janesville, north of Sacramento, where her parents worked in a strawberry field.
Having spent her childhood in a predominantly Caucasian environment where there were few fellow Latinos in school, Castro was very shy and kept everything to herself. She was always interested in cars but never voiced her interest, thinking high school automotive programs were only for boys.
"I've always liked cars ever since I was little. I don't remember playing with Barbie dolls," laughed Castro, "but nobody told me that the doors (for automotive programs) were open for girls!"
When Castro was a sophomore, a girl from her church said that she was in an automotive technician training program at her high school.
She immediately joined the SKillsUSA automotive program, a high school program that helps students to develop their knowledge and skills in trade, technical and skilled service occupations. She became very involved in the program and she served as a state and national officer for the program.
Growing up on a strawberry farm, she didn't really see herself going to a college; however, with an automotive background, Castro received a scholarship and she was able to enroll in the Chrysler Automotive Program at Miramar College in San Diego. She received her associate degree in automotive technology in 2005, and worked as a Chrysler certified automotive technician for five years.
Castro found out about the Northwood University program at Cerritos College from a teacher at Chrysler's annual training session. He knew that Castro was interested in getting her bachelor's degree in the automotive field and showed her a flyer of the Northwood program. In 2007, she moved to Norwalk to attend Northwood University at Cerritos College. It was a perfect fit for Castro. The accelerated six-week classes helped her reach her academic goal quickly, the teachers who brought in real life experiences were valuable, and, most importantly, the convenience of taking all necessary classes at Cerritos College and paying only community college tuition until the third year was a significant savings.
She will be graduating in December 2009 with a bachelor's degree in business/automotive marketing.
Castro currently works as a lead research analyst for Polk in Long Beach, where she researches prices and specifications for new cars. She plans on continuing to work for Polk. In the future, she would like to become a field technician in Mexico and collect Mexico's automotive marketing data.
Northwood University is a traditional four-year private university based in Michigan and has partnered with Cerritos College offering Bachelor of Business Administration degree at the Cerritos Campus. Students in the program attend all classes on Cerritos College's campus and take higher level courses from Northwood instructors after meeting general degree requirements through Cerritos College. The adult degree program is one of 30 located throughout the country and has become a model for working adults to further their education. For more information on the bachelor's degree program, please contact Northwood University at (562) 988-9506 or visit Northwood University online at www.cerrtios.edu/northwood.
Cerritos College serves as a comprehensive community college for southeastern Los Angeles County. Communities within the college's district include Artesia, Bellflower, Cerritos, Downey, Hawaiian Gardens, La Mirada, Norwalk, and portions of Bell Gardens, Lakewood, Long Beach, Santa Fe Springs and South Gate. Cerritos College offers degrees and certificates in more than 200 areas of study in nine divisions. Annually, more than 1,200 students successfully complete their course of studies, and enrollment currently surpasses 26,000 students. Visit Cerritos College online at www.cerritos.edu.

Happiest Credit Cards
Liz Pulliam Weston recently published an article summarizing and analyzing J.D. Power and Associates 2008 survey of credit card user happiness. They surveyed 8,000 users on five factors: interaction with the company, billing and payment processes, fees and rates, reward programs, and benefits and services.
I was a little surprised to see that the highest score was 783 out of 1,000 for American Express, with Discover taking second with 751. Everyone else surveyed scored less than the industry average of 724!

With short downloads such as the cz file for plf-free, the

That problem is more likely to be at your router or modem,
and you have told us nothing about either, nor about the
nature of your connection. You likewise have not copied
and pasted any error messages that appeared when you tried
to connect to the internet again.
> So I reinstalled Mandriva2008free...
If you enjoy attacking piss-ant problems with a 16-lb sledgehammer,
be my guest. But doing so will not help you learn how
to handle the problem the next time it occurs, if its
does indeed occur again.

Set up your mirrors and then, as root in a terminal window,
urpmi --wget --auto-update --auto-select --auto
You may get a little better reporting on status, but if the
file is small you still will not see the size.

Why would one's mind hallucinate something like that?
There are occasional problems with the menus in Mandriva
but I mostly work from the command line and cannot help on
this one. If a menu item or icon on the tool bar goes
away that I want, I add a new one.

Several of the folks who read this newsgroup killfile
all posts from Google, so odds of a reply diminish. But
a few will look at almost anything, and a reply from
one of them will not trigger the killfile mechanism so
eventually most potential respondents will see anything
meriting a response.

LEWISTOWN - Tyrone native Jeff Adams use vintage photographs and images to convey a nostalgic portrait of significant local history in a book called "Juniata's River Valleys."
Adams said he hoped to provide a unique prospectus of the Juniata Valley, a journey from the Susquehanna River inland along the Juniata River through the counties of Perry, Juniata, Mifflin, Huntingdon, Bedford and Blair.
He said he was challenged with narrowing down the nearly 1,000 historical photos he collected from private photo albums and antique shops into the 220 most provocative, eye-catching photos featured in the book.
Article Photos
Sentinel photo by BRADLEY KREITZER
Canoeists travel down the Juniata River near the Locust Campground Friday evening in Mifflin County.
Submitted photo
The book 'Juniata's River Valleys' went on sale May 2.
Along with the river, highlighted in the book are bridges, roads, buildings and businesses that were unique to the region and helped bring forth commerce and cultivate recreational activities.
He said the captions to the photographs detail information of the river, canals and Indian trails, which were vital to the development of the area. He also said the book highlights the accounts of the nation's early settlers' desire to settle in the western frontier. Adams said much of the land provided
iron and lead at the start of the Industrial Revolution.
"Lewistown really took off when the (Pennsylvania) Canal came through. The canal brought a great deal of commerce to the area," Adams said.
Also included in the book are accounts of the branch rivers, the Raystown Branch, Frankstown, the Beaver Dam Branch, and the Little Juniata.
He said he hopes his work provides factual perspective and presents images that can be relished by those who enjoy seeing local images as well as those unfamiliar with the area.
He said when one sees something someone captured many years ago, "it's like discovering another time."
He said identifying where the photos were taken was a difficult task as often times the towns and land names changed over the years.
Adams said another challenge he faced was extrapolating information from such an expansive area, which includes portions of nine counties and four valleys. He said he felt obligated to honor as much history as he could although he enjoyed laying out the photographs, analyzing maps and researching the history.
He said he has lived in the region his entire life. Adams' passion for examining local history stems from his deep familial roots in Blair County prior to the American Revolution.
He said it is an important edition to anyone's collection of local history books or for anyone attracted to old photographs, which date back to the 1800s.
The book is the newest addition to Arcadia Publishing's popular Images of America series. It is Adams' third book. He has written published books detailing the history of Tyrone and Harrisburg.
"Juniata's River Valleys," which went on sale May 2, is available at local retailers, online bookstores, or through Arcadia Publishing at www.arcadiapublishing.com or (888) 313-2665.

Since few schools take kids from their pre school, we decided to get applications into those schools. And what a torture it is. Though the school was giving away applications for a week, all the parents were up early and by the time hubby dear reached at 7 am, there were about 200 people before him. He returned back to go the next day. And imagine his shock, when he was attending a mini interview! He was asked lot of questions and then was told that the child should be able to recognize circles, and other table manners. Imagine that! How on earth they expect a 2 year old baby to know how to draw a circle or that they should go throw the chocolate paper in the dustbin, is beyond me. They even should know the colours! Peddu, if he has the mood, will show only geeen, buue, when not in mood, whatever he touches will be geeen or buue. And Chinnu won't even bother waiting for me to ask him.Peddu will atleast say something that might sound like A B C,, then it will go into a big song, which I can never understand what. But Chinnu, if you ask him for long, he will launch into singing Amma Nanna I LL LU..I can very well imagine the look on the teacher if they are going to ask Chinnu to say ABC. And if you happen to give a toffee to Chinnu, first thing he will do is, to throw the paper down. He will look at the dust bin, only if he has the mood. I seriously hope the teachers know that a 2 year old kid is very much motivated by their moods!

They say that there are dog people, and there are cat people. When it comes to Hollywood, there's a clear bias.
"Definitely dogs over cats," dog owner Nick Lachey tells PEOPLE.
"Cats are ... cute," Rashida Jones offers, diplomatically. "They're cute when they're like dogs."
For other stars who stopped by our studios and answered our one question, the answer was clear. Watch the rest of our video to see who the real underdogs are in Tinseltown.

Gluing rocks and decoration with silicone
I want to glue lava pieces and other decoration together with silicone for my aquarium to make them more stable.
lava is not really the best choice for an aquarium: The material is rough, has sharp edges and bears high risk of injuries for fish, e.g. in case they are frightened and crash into the rocks panically. Smoother rocks are better suited.
What kind of silicone do I have to use for this purpose?
You may use only silicone in aquariums that is labeled aquarium silicone, i.e. the suitability for aquariums must be expressly stated on the tube or cartridge. Construction or household silicone may contain fungicides that can lead to terrible consequences in an aquarium, as many of these substances are toxic for fish, invertebrates and micro organisms. You may sometimes read that silicones that cure by releasing acetic acid are automatically suitable for aquariums. This is simply wrong, because the above mentioned construction and household silicones as well usually release acetic acid when curing!
How long does it have to harden before I can put it into the aquarium? Can you give me some advice on that?
The hardening rate is about 1 mm/day; silicones also cure under water - water is even required for curing, therefore it is recommended to place a small bowl with water or a wet cloth inside the tank when gluing in an empty aquarium. You should properly aerate the room in which the silicone is curing: Acetic acid is released during curing, which you can smell quite distinctly, and which may also irritate mucous membranes in higher concentrations.
However, it is virtually impossible to glue decoration outside the tank and then transfer this construction into the aquarium without tearing it apart. Silicones are not the best choice for porous rock anyway, it does not stick too well on it. Mortar is better suited in such cases - but you can also not use it for gluing constructions outside and then put them in in one piece. Mortar gluings must be watered carefully (possibly several weeks!), until the pH does not rise anymore.

Fair Final Days of Summer, But Rain to Herald in Fall on Sunday
Right on cue, typical fall rains will usher in the official start of autumn with the equinox on Sunday.
But first we get to enjoy some milder weather for the final days of summer, predicts KPLU weather expert Cliff Mass.
"We're gonna get some rain, but first we're going to have a decent day today," said Mass, a Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington. He says there's a front right offshore, visible on the coastal radar. But it's going to be coming in slowly.
"So, it'll be partly cloudy in the morning, some mixed sun and it will cloud up during the afternoon. But temperatures will probably get up to the low 70s and the rain won't hit till around dinnertime."
Tomorrow, after the front has moved through, there will be intermittent showers, with sprinkles on and off. And temperatures will get up to "maybe in the mid-60s, so not a bad day," Mass said.
"It'll be worse on the west side than on the east, so if you want to get out of it, just go to eastern Washington," he advises.
On Sunday, Mass predicts it might be decent in the morning but, around mid-day it will cloud up quickly and it will be hard to escape wet weather.
"The strongest front we've seen since the spring will be moving through middle of the day," on Sunday Mass says, bringing with it a rainy afternoon… just in time for the fall equinox.
Wet cool weather with temperatures in the 60s will continue Monday and Tuesday, Mass says. He says on Wednesday, it will lighten up a bit. And he says slightly warmer, milder weather could continue through Friday.
The weekly KPLU feature "Weather with Cliff Mass" airs every Friday at 9 a.m. immediately following BirdNote, and twice on Friday afternoons during All Things Considered. The feature is hosted by KPLU Environment Reporter Bellamy Pailthorp. Cliff Mass is a University of Washington Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, a renowned Seattle weather prognosticator, and a popular weather blogger.
