Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program
This June come on out and get your check booklets at your nearest Certified Farmers Markets. The Kings/Tulare Area Agency on Aging will be out to distribute your booklets. Here's some more information on the Senior Farmer's Market Program:
The federally funded Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program is a program which provides seniors with a check booklet that can be used to purchase fresh, unprepared, locally grown fruits, vegetables, honey and herbs from Certified Farmers' Markets (CFM) to low-income seniors.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Services Agency, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture, partners with 32 of California's Area Agencies on Aging to distribute the check booklets which include five checks redeemable for $4 each. The AAAs serves this purpose well because they administer several senior programs on a local level either directly or through their affiliation with senior organizations.
All senior participants must meet the Participant Eligibility Guidelines:
- Are at least 60 years of age or older
- Household annual income does not exceed more than %185 of poverty level
- Has not already received 2016 SFMNP check booklet
Participant Benefit Level
The benefit level for the 2016 season is $20 per each eligible participant.
Designation of a proxy
An individual (proxy) may be designated to by a participant to act as their representative to receive the Senior Farmers' Market check booklet and make purchases at Certified Famers' Markets.
Participants Rights and Responsibilities
A Check Issuance Log must be signed by the participant or designated proxy, acknowledging they meet all the SFMNP requirements and have read or had the statement read to him or her.
Distribution of Check Booklets to Participants
All participants may receive 1 check booklet made up of (5) $4 checks. Checks must be redeemed by participants or proxy's no later than November 30th, 2016.
The Area Agency on Aging's service providers will ensure the participants self-certify that they meet the Participant Eligibility Requirements and are only allowed one check booklet for the 2016 season. Before receiving the check booklet they must sign the Check Issuance Log.

I ate here when I worked in the Financial District of San Francisco. There were always long lines of hungry Office workers. The Chicken Teriyaki was the best. I plan to stop by to eat here when I visit San Francisco. Stephen
One of the most fantastic restaurants in the city! The food is amazing and the talent in the jazz club is phenomenal. There's always great ambience and music, the service is fine, and the food is the most delicious Japanese food in San Francisco.
Over all a great place, David the bartender is great, he served us sake martinis--very good choice. Sushi is good, steaks are great, crab martini-creative and tasty
Versatile menu options; with unique flavors that derive from a selection of familiar Asian cuisine. Friendly faces that introduce themselves are very attentive to every request. There is a wide selection of wines and cocktails; and a great happy hour ...

I have just completed Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and feel accomplished with myself. I defeated Peace Walker and stopped the U.S. from retalliating against imaginary nukes and go through the whole cutscenes and watch the credits and whatever. Then to my pleasant suprise, the game keeps going! Well actually Kaz tells me to go talk to Paz which I actually held off because completing other Extra Ops seemed to be more fun than going on a Date with Paz. So after capturing Zadornav again for the first time, I decide to go on this little date with Paz.
The mission pretty much says to bring stuff that she would like. So I bring some magazines, a camera, binoculars, tea, curry, tortilla chips and even I'm even wearing a tuxedo! Start of the mission I have no idea what to do. I run up and down the beach expecting her to follow me for a stroll. Nothing. Up and down the pier. Nothing. I bust out the binoculars expecting her to ask what I'm looking at and maybe she would want to take a peek. Nothing. I try to use the food but it don't work because I have full health, I also drop some magazines and now she asks me what I am doing. Okay now I get some interaction. I take out the camera and snap some pictures of the scenery and she asks if I'm going to take pictures of her. Okay, I'll take some pictures. After a few more snaps and her not saying anything anymore I give up the camera. So I face her and maybe theres a way to talk to her? I was hesitant to press the CQC trigger but eventually I did and well, cuppage of the breast. She hits me and I fall down. Maybe we'll talk after the second time? Down again...After a few more times she gets fed up and leaves. Misson Failed.
I restart the mission filling more of my inventory slots this time, even with all the different types of magazines. Pretty much I repeat everything from the last paragraph minus the grabbing of the breast. I go through all the items in my inventory, until the last one. The Love Box. Okay, i'll play hide 'n seek with her I guess? Well, I go inside the box and to my suprise she says something. She asks if there's room for one more. *Pause* Umm...WTF? Well I beat the mission. I can only imagine what transpired in this love box, isn't Paz like 14 or something!?
Well I Metal Gear wiki'd it and she was 16. Still not legal, and considering Big Boss was like 39 around this time, well good thing MSF is a country without borders. Apparently, without Statuatory Rape laws too.
Paz Ortega - Age:16
Naked Snake - Age: 39
Damn Big Boss, why didn't you just bang Amanda or Cécile? At least they are of age! I wonder if EVA ever knew? Well, I'm not entirely done with Peace Walker yet so maybe she makes an appearance! Oh and I was talking with one of my co-workers today about how I captured Zadornov again for like the third time (bastard keeps escaping!) And then he asked if i killed Paz yet....Asshole! Yeah so he spoiled that part for me, well I guess that's what happens when you fall for jailbait.

The Glorious act of of delivering a rapid fire jab to the nasal cavity while receiving felatio from a member of the female sex. Upon ejaculation the concoction of blood and semen should make a strawberry like substance.
Overton's bitch was suckin' his cock that he had to reward her with a strawberry shortcake right to the face.

When a girl gives a man head and then the man gives her a bloody nose and shoots his load on her face, mixing the semen and blood together, thus creating, strawberry shortcake.

I just don't get it...how is 2k just that much better year in and out than EA sports!
I mean EA has been at it so long, but quality of the game is a level down.
Plus 2k has MJ on the cover that alone is why it will completley blow away Elite.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
The graphics suck
The players feet slide like it always has in the NBA series.
This game reminds me of basketball games back in 2002
No animation
The announcers say the same things over and over again, bvery repetitive.
The only positive is the crowd's reaction.
Once again NBA 2k 11 wwill kill NBA Elite 11. For some reason 2k games knows how to make player animations were EA sports has no clue how to.
If 2k 11 can have realistic fan reactions to dunks and clutch shots then it will beat Elite 11 hands down 100%.
2k 10 has bad fan reastions were an amazing dunk would result in a quiet hand clap as if it happens all the time.
2k 11 wins.
If anyone is buying either NBA 2k11 or NBA Elite 11....go with 2k.

I'm always going with the 2K series, presentation of the game and fun is why I lean towards 2K more.
I do like EA's ESPN feature this year but that really isnt enough to make me want to buy it.
Everyone buys 2K so I jump on that bandwagon.
I always hated how the players move in Live. All jerky and unnatural.
At the same time, sometimes 2K pisses me off...having a center wide open underneath the hoop and I hit shoot, and rather than just going up and dunking he tries some spinning finger roll...
Both games have the game sort of messed up, but 2K has it more right (or less wrong, depending on how you look at it)
I have always bought NBA live because I buy EA sports games for everything else and i was not aware that the 2k series was much more highly regarded by basketball fans, I will be trying the 2k series this year just because of the amount of basketball fans that say it is more realistic!
Oh and I am playing dynasty mode in NBA Live 10 now and when i sim games it doesnt matter who i put in the centre and PF position they will average 7-10 points and 6-9 rebounds, while the small forward and shooting guards score far our side of their abilities time and time again, very annoying, so annoying infact that this is the main reason i want to try 2k this year
NBA Live/Elite is like the Minnesota Timberwolves...you always think that they can finalyl put some young peices together that will eventually go .500 and they never do once you see their weaknesses in the coaching and management. EA sports has never fixed the graphics problem that has hindered their basketball franchise by being anything but a laughing stock. The tendencies, I GUESS, can be the only realistic apporach they have taken when it comes to basketball...but when you have horrible graphics like NBA Elite 11 does...guys sliding on the court like old games were, non fluid movement...compared to 2k11 it is down right ugly.
EA sports has to address graphics or they will go out of business and NBA 2k will be the next Madden...taking over the sport, video game style.

2K11 looks like sprts game of the year the features are awesome the graphics are incredible the gameplay is fluid and realistic and the commentating is allstar worthy. i also love the my player mode how you could win endorsements and sneaker deals and if your real good other players in the league will wear your signature shoes a-la-jordan loll.
all im saying is **** elite 2k all day.........2K for the win......its good!!!!! loll

yep sounds like i will be switching camps for sure! Does @K have a mode like Live where you take control of the franchise for multiple years including trades and drafting ect?
Elite is garbage.....2Kall day....from nba 2k came out on the dreamcast, no basketball game has ever come close!!
Honestly both games are overrated. I dont see much progress from 2k9 to 2k11
just looking at the demos, its all the same **** year after year with little stuff added to make it seem its a much better game.

Busch Stadium II last hosted a game nearly five years ago, but the memories and promise of her demise are still the black eye that the St. Louis Cardinals would rather you not talk about.
Ballpark Village, through an amalgamation of factors, has now been permanently shelved. So in honor of the city's most famous ditch, let's take a pictorial journey through the trials and tribulations this grandiose civic flop has endured.

Yep. If I shut it off I can get a stable framerate with up to 15k sprites on the screen, which is well above my target. If I couldn't handle such a measly number without stuttering, I was going going to be in trouble once I turned scripting and audio back on and added the 3D bits.
Hah! That's interesting... So it doesn't occur if you ensure PE isn't running?
Alright, thanks. I'll look into it later.
To build your own GPU-side frame-timer, you basically want to create a ring-buffer of "event"/"query" objects and submit one at the start of each frame
-- e.g. an array of 3 or more queries, and increment a counter (wrapping around to 0 at the top of the array) that selects which one you'll be submitting that frame.
You need more than one query because of the latency between the CPU and GPU.
Before you reuse a event/query, you can read it's actual time value, which hopefully has actually been written by the time your array/ring wraps around.
I've not done this with OpenGL, but I believe you can use the ARB_timer_query extension.
Most of the game engines I've used have had some kind of on-screen display of this timer info , e.g. two bars at the bottom of the screen, one for CPU time in ms and one for GPU time in ms, with lines/markings on the bars showing 16.6 and 33.3ms (60FPS and 30FPS, respectively).

Good to know that FMCSA is still working to keep our roads safe.Because its still a lots of bad drivers on the road thanks.
More than 128 companies face enforcement actions and 287 commercial bus and truck drivers were removed from the roads as a result of a recent federal sweep.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reported on Monday those results from its annual drug and alcohol strike force sweep, which occurred from April 30 through May 11.
"Safety is our number one priority," U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said. "Our message is clear: We will not allow commercial bus and truck drivers operating under the influence of drugs and alcohol to stay on the road. All drivers and their passengers deserve to be confident that bus and truck drivers are safe and sober."
During the two-week sweep, nearly 200 federal investigators examined the drug and alcohol safety records of commercial drivers employed by bus and truck companies, including school bus drivers, interstate passenger carriers, hazardous material transporters and general freight long-haul trucking companies. Officials said that their goals were to identify motor carriers in violation of federal drug and alcohol testing requirements and to remove from the road commercial truck and bus drivers who jump from carrier to carrier to evade federal drug and alcohol testing and reporting requirements.
"Removing these dangerous drivers from the roads helps save lives and sends a strong signal that we will not tolerate negligent commercial drivers and companies that violate federal alcohol and drug safety standards," FMCSA Administrator Anne Ferro said.
The 287 commercial drivers identified in the sweep face the prospect of a monetary fine and being barred from operating a commercial motor vehicle for failing to adhere to federal drug and alcohol regulations.
Additionally, 128 truck and bus companies face pending enforcement actions for violations, such as using a driver who has tested positive for illegal drugs or not instituting a drug and alcohol testing program. Both drivers and carriers will have an opportunity to contest the alleged violations and the amount of the civil penalties.
Officials said that the actions are part of FMCSA's broader effort to ensure truck and bus safety across the country.

SA 1050/SIG Eyewear
With these designer eyeglasses, you are always perfectly dressed. The SA 1050 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Safilo collections 2015 and 2016.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Safilo back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

As you said, the RB-1 is one smooth riding machine, able to compete with some ti and carbon specimens of more recent vintage.

Behind a Blue-Collar Cliché
'The Office' and returning natives help Scranton, Pa., stage a comeback
Scranton, Pa.
One morning earlier this month, a black bear ambled into town and climbed a tree across from Charles Sumner Elementary School.
Children arriving at school that morning watched as a state wildlife officer scrambled up a ladder and shot some tranquilizers into the bear, which plopped onto the pavement. Before carting off the snoozing giant, the officer gave students a talk on bears and Mother Nature.
The presidential campaign season has brought extraordinary attention to a place better known for its hardships than its charms (and perhaps best known as the setting of NBC's comedy, "The Office"). It has received visits this year from all four candidates on the national tickets, including appearances this week by both vice-presidential candidates. In an election that could turn on the working-class vote, "Scranton has become the poster boy for small-town blue-collar America," says Austin J. Burke, president of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce.
This month, "Saturday Night Live" parodied the tendency of Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden to invoke his hard-scrabble childhood here. "Don't be telling me that I'm part of the Washington elite, because I come from the absolute worst place on Earth: Scranton, Pennsylvania," said SNL's Jason Sudeikis, playing Sen. Biden. "It's a hellhole! It is just an awful, awful sad place filled with sad, desperate people with no ambition!"
But life in Scranton is more nuanced than the cliché of a once-powerful industrial center in decline. The population here is growing for the first time in 60 years, following a decades-long exodus that halved the city to barely 70,000 people. Its architecturally distinctive downtown, long vacant, is undergoing a dramatic renovation. And tourism is spiking, thanks in no small part to "The Office," NBC's hit show about the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin, a fictional New York-based paper company. The century-old "Electric City" sign -- dark for decades -- shines again above the town square.
There's a distinctly white-collar movement behind Scranton's comeback. A return of college-educated natives from cities like New York and Philadelphia is fueling a population rise and a civic makeover. Bringing them back are the very small-town qualities many once wanted to escape: the likelihood of meeting acquaintances and relatives on the streets. The embrace here of modest ambition. The deeply held belief -- only heightened by ridicule from the outside world -- that Scranton matters.
Of course, a long-term downturn in the U.S. economy could thwart Scranton's revival, making employment here harder yet to come by. But hard times also tend to increase the appeal of small-town life, in part because of costs. Scranton sits only two hours from Philadelphia and New York City, yet has a median house value of less than $120,000, about $20,000 below the national average.
"I didn't appreciate what Scranton had to offer until I left," says Michele Dempsey, a 36-year-old University of Pennsylvania-trained architect who worked for nationally renowned firms in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., before coming home five years ago.
Children mostly walk or ride their bikes to school, often to the same ones their parents and grandparents attended. In a city that averages barely two murders a year, Scranton parents don't worry much about violence, or understand how anyone could live in a city like Chicago, for example, where more than 20 children were shot to death during each of the last two school years.
"Here's the kind of place it is," says Christopher A. Doherty, a 50-year-old native who isn't without a basis of comparison. For eight years he worked as a technology executive in New York, commuting from Greenwich, Conn. Now he is Scranton's mayor. "My best friends are people I've known since first grade. There are people here who still know me as Duke Doherty's little brother."
Blue-collar communities and small towns have long been perceived as places to flee. In books as old as "Winesburg, Ohio" and films as recent as "Gone, Baby, Gone," blue-collar culture is portrayed as mean, miserable and small-minded. Merely getting away from such a place has been seen as upward mobility.
For six decades Scranton lost an average of a thousand residents a year, many bound for college. The return of even a fraction of them -- along with their families -- could confer substantial economic benefits. "There was a diaspora of Scrantonians, and now we're inviting them back," says the Chamber's Mr. Burke. The group has a campaign called Rediscovering Scranton, which includes a Web site with testimonials from returning natives.
A population rise of about 3,000 in the last two years, to about 75,000, has given hope that the long exodus is over. School enrollment is up to 10,000 from 8,500 seven years ago. And downtown is buzzing with the sounds of construction. A Radisson hotel is in the city's old train station. Other recently vacant buildings now house advertising agencies, architectural firms and financial offices, many started by professionals who have returned.
Precisely how many natives have heeded the call isn't known. But many returnees seem to orbit in a large circle of other returnees, as the case of Ms. Dempsey illustrates. At her firm she employs an architect who moved back to Scranton from New York City, and a designer who moved here with his boyfriend -- a Scranton native who has started a wine bar in town. One of Ms. Dempsey's siblings, a fashion designer, quit a job at Burberry Group PLC in New York City to join a Scranton-area technology firm, while a brother-in-law left a Wall Street investment bank for a Scranton software startup.
Economic opportunities -- the bait that lured away so many of Scranton's young -- remain limited, however. In a county with an unemployment rate of 6.4% -- compared with a national average of 6.1% -- professionals often start their own businesses to survive.
Once influential, Scranton was the 38th most-populous American city in 1900, with its coal and iron proceeds putting it near the top in per-capita income. It erected an array of architecturally magnificent buildings, and introduced the nation's first electric trolley, giving rise to its "Electric City" nickname.
But calamity struck again and again: floods, mining accidents, factory and mine closings, the rejection of coal in favor of oil and natural gas. While the rest of America prospered after World War II, fast-shrinking Scranton became known as the armpit of Pennsylvania, a designation it has never entirely shaken. Its median household income remains nearly $7,000 below the national average.
But Scranton has never lacked publicity, and has learned to laugh at itself. As the fictional setting of NBC's "The Office" -- featuring characters lacking either common sense or ambition -- Scranton has become such a tourism magnet that this month NBC is opening a Dunder Mifflin store in the Steamtown mall here.
The very qualities that once gave Scrantonians an inferiority complex are now being touted as virtues, not least by the presidential campaigns. The town won mention at both parties' national conventions, and experts believe that Sen. Biden's Scranton roots helped win the nomination as Barack Obama's running mate. Some pundits are calling Scranton the new Peoria -- a symbol of middle-class America.
As a swing town in a swing state, Scranton could help determine the outcome of the election. The electorate here is more than 90% white, heavily Catholic and traditionally Democratic, although it leans to the right on social issues. Four of eight elected judges here in Lackawanna County are Republican, as is the district attorney.
Outside Scranton, the return of some natives has spawned disbelief. When James Peters, 37, resigned as a principal of a venture-capital firm just outside New York City to take a Scranton-area corporate position, "I don't think there was a person who didn't think I was crazy," says Mr. Peters, whose late grandfather, "Smokey" Joe Peters, is still remembered hereabouts as a gas-station proprietor.
A similar disbelief can arise from a Scrantonian's success, as when Mike Munchak was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001. Never mind that he'd won nine trips to the Pro Bowl as a Houston Oilers offensive lineman -- he was from Scranton. "I've been envisioning," his acceptance speech began, "that someone from NFL security is going to show up and say, 'Hey, Munchak. Get off that stage. It's for the Hall of Famers. You're just some blue-collar guy from Scranton, Pennsylvania.' "

'Belle of Amherst' best when profiling Dickinson's poetry
Walt Whitman may have rightly claimed that his poetry contains multitudes, but Emily Dickinson can stake an equally valid claim to being America's greatest poet.
She is also the hardest one to know. Harold Bloom once wrote that no poet "seems so separate from us as Dickinson," adding that "we have no accurate approaches to her." »Read Full Article

Growing box lacrosse among youth of the U.S. is no
In the past year I have written about the future of box lacrosse and where I see its best chance for success in the coming years. That place is the USA, a country with the population to support growth. This weekend, the USA lacrosse community converges on the City of Brotherly Love for its annual convention. Hopefully, there will be some mention of indoor lacrosse and some more plans of shaping a future for the game with our neighbors south of the border. The sheer numbers of USA lacrosse players should promote interest in our exciting Canadian national game that has all the earmarks of hockey without the need for ice or skating. Of course, indoor lacrosse is just a spin-off of the emerging field lacrosse game down south but again, it has to start its boom somehow and there has never been a time in history where American interest in lacrosse as a sport is what it is today. Questions remain, like why and how will indoor lacrosse prosper in America?
Indoor lax is mostly being passed off in the USA as a clinic or camp component to build skills for field lacrosse instead of having its own focus these days. Indoor lacrosse hasnt even been considered as more than a sport Canadians play in most U.S. locales to this point.
What we are describing is what Jamie Munroe, owner of 3d Lacrosse, has already identified and explored. Munroe is luring campers with skill-building instruction tagged as box lacrosse to Canadianize them. This is the latest thing the big camp "players" are working through in exposing field laxers to elements of the indoor game for improvement in their own resume's.
This is a win-win for both sports. I want to believe the two sports can co-exist. The exposure to indoor will create the need for more USA indoor lax and outlets. The big problem, the same one the monstrous field lacrosse growth in the USA has had to deal with is infrastructure.
Coaching, refereeing, support, organization and fund raising is the key to adding indoor leagues and players anywhere. No different than all other community sports. US Lacrosse getting on board to support indoor lacrosse being played in their country as a credible alternative to outdoor field lacrosse would be the ah-hah moment.
I reached out to US Lacrosse boss Steve Stenersen to ask that exact question. I was expecting to hear the same old rollerball-brutality argument but was quickly consumed by an honest and frank discussion about the growth of ALL LACROSSE stateside.
Stenersen shared the notion that US Lax is dedicated to making lacrosse work for everyone, including the multitudes of recent field lacrosse start-up programs of the last decade for both men's and women's programs, already two completely different entities. Mr. Stenersen stressed that these programs need guidance through their formative years so that success can be a destination and it is an ongoing, exhausting exercise for US lacrosse to keep up with the growth.
Stenersen communicated he isnt down on the indoor game but that they werent able to dedicate time or resources to explore its potential yet. While that wasnt exactly what persons like myself would want to hear, it also wasnt a dead end conversation. But indoor lacrosse remains undefined in the USA.
Steve also relayed that "US Lacrosse is exploring the merits of developing a hybrid form of the boy's field and indoor games that would be better designed and suited for the younger players based on their physical and cognitive development stages. A form of the game that would require smaller playing surfaces than field lacrosse requires to enable a young player to touch the ball more while learning the fundamentals thus increasing enjoyment. A National Player Development Model is being considered and this youth hybrid would be part of that movement. The growth of lacrosse in urban areas where field space is limited is yet another driving factor."
Fast forward to an American system starting kids in some form of 6-on-6 lacrosse with a shrunken field. Eventually, America would be better versed from a young age with box fashioned skills. Throw in 4 walls and 2 goalies with pads and smaller nets and you have a launching pad for players and parents to experience the joys of a true indoor lacrosse experience to really get the fall ball winter season rockin!
The sport of hockey discovered back in the early 1970s that it needed a base of youth hockey leagues to take hold in its new NHL cities to create a hockey culture in those hockey destinations. This is a similar path indoor lacrosse must attempt to replicate some 40 years later in its hopes to push the sport to its ultimate level.
Setting up shop in a outlying US destination like Idaho or Georgia will prove to be the challenge. The idea needs to be sold to the local community start-up field lacrosse programs to build their skills year round in fresh lacrosse town.
Teams from these start-up areas can close the gap on established lacrosse organizations with the introduction to indoor play. Ive experienced this first hand with the Youth Box League of Minnesotas Swarm. Growth into the box league from the north and east of Minneapolis in the first two years of participation catapulted those teams involved to a competitive status in high school field lax. Two years after being schedule fillers for the established Minnesota organizations, these newer teams were fighting for wins in their spring leagues thanks in part to skill refinement through box play. The Swarm have grown their league every year since its inception through customer satisfaction and results much like the Stealth and Mammoth.
Sadly, Ive also had two separate experiences in Minnesota and Philadelphia years back where I had the opportunity to ask a young laxer at our practice facility if they had attended a Wings/Swarm game? The answer both times, NO.
No, because their parents werent investing a night of their life and over an hours drive time into a sport they know nothing about. Most parents cant relate to field lacrosse since they didnt grow up with it themselves, so why commit time, effort and money to watch a professional indoor game? Indoor exposure and leagues will help change that mentality. Herein lies the challenge and the payoff.
Building value in the box game in the USA is the name of the game. Lacrosse won't always have to be viewed as it was by the old guard of decades past. New U.S. states are continuously getting involved in the sport and suffering start-up issues. Simplifying field lacrosse for 6-9 year olds is something indoor lacrosse was built for. Having those same kids age up and continue on their path of building box lacrosse skills for whatever sport or reason will help grow the game in the USA. Collecting associations along the way and eventually creating travel teams to take to tournament play in the USA and Canada is a natural progression that will bring deeper interest from the Red, White and Blue in the next generation.
There were periods of time in my life when I was young that seem so far off in the distance that I couldn't imagine what they might look like. When I first hit the bar scene in 1983, Prince's song "1999" was high on the playlist. One of those bar nights I stopped to consider the world in another 17 years and just laughed at the thought of being 35 years old.
My initial thought was that a 35 year old was old enough to play "Old Timers" hockey. Man that seemed old! Now 30 years later it's even funnier to me looking at it from the other side or over the hill.
As I sit here today I can honestly see the USA playing indoor lacrosse as a credible sport in the future and in my lifetime. When that day comes I will want to party like its 1983 or even 1999.

I actually watched the US/Germ game w/a big soccer honk and I told him if the refs let the teams play like they let them in the first half, the game would be more enjoyable in general. It was a tough physical 1st 1/2 and was fun b/c the players quickly figured out falling to the ground wasn't going to get them any calls.

How to Install Baseboards
Tom Silva shows how to install baseboards that become visual anchors for any room
Despite their lowly position along the floor, baseboards are one of a house's defining features. If they have stature, a room becomes regal; when they are skimpy, that same space looks dowdy.
Baseboards were often three-piece affairs consisting of a flat plank, a decorative cap molding, and a rounded shoe molding to cover gaps along the floor. "In old houses, you often see the fanciest baseboard in the front room downstairs," says This Old House general contractor Tom Silva.
In houses built after World War II, however, fancy gave way to cheap, and the vital floor-to-wall transition became the domain of thin, featureless one-piece trim. Fortunately, it's easy to replace modern moldings with taller, thicker, two- or three-part baseboards.
Running baseboard is also good for perfecting carpentry skills. The joints required are simple butts, miters, and copes, and the same basic installation steps apply to all trimwork.

A Musical March Madness
PITTSBURGH — Live music brings out the character in a person. The more dedicated the fan, the more the character comes out. I decided to be a fly on the wall the past two Saturdays at Stage AE for the highly anticipated St. Patrick's Day tours by Celtic punk bands Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys.
A list of the unique brands of people I observed while standing in the exact same spot for the exact same (not really) bands.
1. The teenage boys who like punk music, but don't really like these bands, and go to the show because it's cool.
These guys are way out of their element and necessitate a heavy eye roll from all who notice them. I saw a small pod of them walking around early Saturday at Dropkick. All three looked to be about 14, which means the St. Patrick's Day Tour has been going on roughly the amount of time they've been alive. They looked just there to "party," which is fine, but then pretended as if they knew the music. This suspicion was confirmed when one of the basically prepubescents was among the dozens of people chosen to go up on stage for the encore. He wore a cut-off shirt that said "mosh" and camo shorts. If that doesn't already tell you he's out of his element, he looked as if he didn't know where he was when the band flung into AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap." I hope he had a good experience, but someone else, anyone else, deserved to be in his spot on stage.
2. The middle-aged couples, who at one point were probably fun, but now not so much.
These people get in line early. Why? Not because they want a good spot (they're usually VIP and have seats in the balcony anyway), but because it's the responsible thing to do. Typically a man and a wife, sometimes they travel in two pairs, and everyone has a "smart" leather jacket on. The conversation at home probably goes:
Wife: "Oh, that Flogging Molly band is coming. Remember that time we saw them in college? Let's ask Greg and Deborah to go, and we'll make a night of it!"
The husband concedes. The mom puts on her "going out jeans" and they spend way too much money on VIP tickets, don't dance and sit and sip Angry Orchards.
Meanwhile, everyone else at Stage AE is punching each other with glee and spilling their Guinness during the beginning notes of Dropkick's "I'm Shipping up to Boston," because that's what the sound of an accordion makes normal people do. Geez.
3. The women who have no other outlet for fun.
This breed comes in two patterns.
A. The ones who never get to have fun, but go to the show because their boyfriends like the bands. These are the same girls who sit, SIT on the ground before the opening band starts because they're "tired." But don't be fooled, these are the same girls who smoke weed when the security guards aren't looking. By the end of the night they're swaying back and forth and their boyfriends regret taking them.
B. The ones who wear "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" shirts and are not Irish. These elusive creatures are really only seen a few times a night. They slither their way up front in a conga line (guilty), and go back for drinks and bathroom breaks one at a time. Typically they keep it at a low-obnoxious level of fun. Flogging's Bridget Regan got a lot of applause from these ladies for her awesome fiddle playing and even better tin whistle skills. It's easy to see why band leader Dave King married her.
Both patterns were thrilled with Dropkick's "Kiss Me, I'm S---faced." Shocking.
4. The men who have no other outlet for fun.
These are the men who just went out to JCPenney to pick up a driving cap to wear to fit in, or a fedora if they got creative. Sometimes they're just there with one other man; sometimes they're in a hoard. At least they drink the right kind of beer.
5. The real fans.
Also spotted with two different characteristics: the ones who dress up and the ones who don't.
A. The men and women who don't dress up, at least at Stage AE, are about 80 percent yinzers. I saw more than a dozen Iron City beer shirts the past two Saturdays, most of them paired with a regular ball cap, and no one pretends to be an Englishman. These are the guys who caught the Guinness pounders that King and the rest of Flogging tossed into the audience and knew all the words to Dropkick's "The Boys Are Back." And they're the guys who were most excited to go on stage after it was all said and done.
The women who dress appropriately, (and by appropriately I mean not a tutu, which I saw Saturday in the snow) are the women who have legitimately liked the band for a long time and are there to have fun. They are typically in a small pod, wearing a tour shirt from five years ago. Respectable.
B. The men and women who dress up. At Flogging this category only consisted of men, that I saw, anyway. They wore kilts. They go all out. Usually these men have either long hair or a long beard. Many of them have red hair, many of them are burly, but all of them strut and are extremely proud to be wearing a kilt. These are the characters with the most merit. However, at Dropkick there was a new breed of dedication, a younger generation than the kilts, but old enough to be there with a purpose. They hailed from the punk side of life and not the Celtic side; men and women alike sporting mohawks. One man had a bright orange one, and looked like a neon shark thrashing about in the waves of the pit. These people clapped appreciatively for opening band Skinny Lister, and all but fell asleep during other opening band Lucero. But when they heard the bagpipes they reacted accordingly, like glorious, dedicated fans.
Whether or not these people were genuine, this is how I observed them. Whether it was the drunk guy who got carried out of the venue, or the girl who was on stage singing all the words, I hope they all had fun. I did.

Peony Season, In All Its Glory:
5 Arrangement Ideas
"You are all getting nearly-black bouquets and I promise you will love it" phase. And then there are other times when the customers let me know in no uncertain terms, "We only care about peonies." It's peony season, y'all. Peonies definitely play well with others, but on their own, they are spectacular. Whether you can 3 or 15 stems, a grouping of peonies will explode in a stunning fashion. But if you feel like mixing it up..
- For this first arrangement, the customer requested something bright, colorful, and young, with peonies. I combined hot-coral peonies, hot-pink anemones, bright-yellow ranunculus, and bright green viburnum in a matte black vase. The black helped ground the colors a bit, and made the black centers of the anemones pop.
- This second piece was for a customer who wanted something white/cream/green, with peonies, of course. Generally a grouping of just two flower types can look awkward, but I felt the cream peonies and green- & white-streaked double tulips combined perfectly. The double tulips are also explosive bloomers, so I knew they'd hold their own as the peonies opened dramatically.
- The third bouquet was a little hand-held posy - I took this photo before I wrapped and ribboned it. It is a petite grouping of coral peonies, orange, yellow, & peach ranunculus, and orange, yellow & pink garden roses. Definitely feminine and just a little wild.
- The fourth request was "pretty & bright with peonies". I made a long window box-style arrangement, filled with lots of pink peonies, yellow tulips, orange double tulips streaked with green, and fresh mint. I avoid using peonies with other scented flowers, but felt the bright, clean scent of the mint would set of their sweetness nicely.
- I'm going to need your help for this last little posy. There are palest-pink peonies, of course, and a cloud of white sweet peas, but I don't know the name of the firework-esque grass or the little showers of white flowers with a blush of pale pink. Any ideas?
