Friday night in the Bronx, two baseball teams will begin a three-game series.
One of baseball's hottest teams will take one of baseball's coldest.
Coincidentally, the series is also a rematch of the 2012 ALCS. A lot has changed since last October.
Well, a lot has changed for one of the two teams from last year's ALCS.
The Tigers look a lot like the same team that advanced all the way to the 2012 World Series.
Predicted by many to be one of baseball's best teams in 2013, Detroit actually got off to a rocky start. They've righted the ship, and currently own the AL's longest win-streak of 12 straight games.
The Tigers have opened up a commanding seven-game lead over second-place Cleveland in the AL Central.
The Yankees are a different story.
A team besieged by injuries and disappointing performances is also at the center of the Biogenesis Scandal as a result of Alex Rodriguez's suspension.
The Yankees have lost four in a row, are one game over .500 and, at this point, they're closer to being in last place than in third place.
New York is limping home after swept by one of baseball's worst teams -- the Chicago White Sox. Wednesday's loss was particularly galling.
The Yankees lost a game in spite holding leads in the top of the ninth and the top of the 12th.
Even the great Mariano Rivera was not immune from the ineptitude. It was Rivera who allowed Adam Dunn's game-tying RBI single in the bottom of the ninth. Mo's third blown save of the season ended up being somewhat dwarfed by fellow relief pitcher Adam Warren.
It was Warren who blew another one-run lead, this time in the bottom of the 12th. The two-run RBI triple by Alejandro De Aza resulted in a walk-off win for the Pale Hose.
Friday night in the Bronx, the two teams heading in decidedly different directions will face-off, and the biggest story won't be the plight of two of baseball's oldest franchises, or that is a rematch of the 2012 ALCS.
Nope. The biggest story is that Friday night will mark the 2013 debut of New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez.
For those who aren't aware, the 2013 season has been far from typical for Rodriguez.
Even if the entire Biogenesis Scandal had never existed, Rodriguez would still be making his 2013 Yankee Stadium debut on Friday.
He has been recovering from his second major hip surgery. He's also making his first appearance in Yankee Stadium since last year's ALCS.
The 2012 ALCS wasn't one of Rodriguez's crowning achievements. He hit .111 with three strikeouts in nine at-bats. That was on the heels of an equally dismal ALDS against the Baltimore Orioles. In that series, he hit .125 with nine strikeouts in 16 at-bats.
By the end of the Orioles series, Yankees manager Joe Girardi had become desperate. He benched A-Rod for Game 5 and A-Rod continued to not be a part of the starting lineup into the ALCS.
He wasn't the only Yankee starter mired in a slump, but his superstar status and sky-high salary made him a lightning rod for criticism in the media, and among fans.
Friday night, Rodriguez will once again find himself at the center of the Yankee universe. The New York Media is awash with articles speculating on how Rodriguez will be received by the fans.
It will make for interesting theater, but don't forget about the team that the Yankees are facing.
Those Detroit Tigers aren't to be taken lightly. Even if the Yankees were playing great baseball, Detroit would represent a serious challenge.
Alex Rodriguez could go 4-for-4 and hit two home runs and the Yankees could still go on to lose. Given how well Detroit has been playing, the Tigers could sweep New York and plunge them below .500 in August for the first time since Aug. 22, 1995.
Detroit is on a run, and a team that features the likes of Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer can't be counted on to let up too much. Yankees fans just might be watching the best team in all of baseball this weekend.
Meanwhile, their own New York Yankees aren't just playing bad baseball. The team has the sort of problems that might not go away over just one offseason.
The Yankees are old, Derek Jeter can't stay healthy, Mariano Rivera is in his final season and Andy Pettitte looks washed up.
Curtis Granderson has been hurt for much of the season, and he's going to be a free agent when it concludes. Robinson Cano is also headed for free agency. The team's best starting pitcher, Hiroki Kuroda, is also going to be a free agent.
The team's two $100 million men, CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira, both look like guys whose best days are behind them. Add in a minor league system that lacks a lot of major league-ready talent, and 2013 might not be the last season without October baseball in the franchise's near future.
All eyes will be on A-Rod, but there are a number of compelling stories playing out on the field this weekend in the Bronx.

Welcome to Steel Bridge PDX Insurance
Founded April 1, 2012 by Christopher Freeland
Christopher Freeland
Independent Broker
Having grown up in Lake Oswego where I graduated from Lakeridge High, I couldn't think of a better place to lay down a humble professional beginning. After working nearly 5 years for my Father, operating one of his Allstate agency's in L.O., I saw a glaring need to accommodate the customers that did not fit into one company's mold.
As a brokerage, Steel Bridge has aligned itself with 10 insurance providers, all of which were personally hand-picked by myself and a trusted adviser; some are NW owned and operated and others are large in scale. Both sides of the spectrum, set to accommodate any one person or business entity's background. This gives Steel Bridge Group the ability to service all individuals and their personal needs, rather than one specified demographic. After 5 years, I also realized that the product doesn't differ much from company to company and what people really want is a trusted professional, who is willing to be their voice amidst the occasional chaos and the inevitable losses that can and do occur in the insurance world. If you would have any questions contact me.

Making Jesus look good
Nadia Bolz-Weber is infinitely cooler than I am. She is probably cooler than you, too, unless you happen to be Bono. As readers are reminded a few too many times in Pastrix Bolz-Weber, a Lutheran, is the tattoo-covered founding pastor of House for All Sinners and Saints (HFASS) in Denver, an emerging congregation populated largely by people who are also much cooler than your typical Century reader.
When faced with such unrelenting coolness, I have a tendency to get a bit defensive. My bruised ego tries to convince me that this must be yet another case of all style and no substance. Surely Pastrix debuted at number 17 on the New York Times best-seller list not because Bolz-Weber is actually saying anything new, but as a result of the extraordinary hype surrounding her "precious little indie boutique of a church."

|Benedict & Avery Dulles
|Written by Sherry
|Saturday, 19 April 2008 14:37
How absolutely wonderful.
The Pope is going to make a personal visit to Cardinal Avery Dulles in his bedroom while in Dunwoody seminary. It was not on his schedule. Cardinal Dulles is too ill to attend any of the events but no one deserves a private visit more.
Dulles, who is 89, is one of the great converts and theologians of the 20th century and gave his final annual McGinley lecture at Fordham on April 1. When I met him last April, he was still able to walk with a cane. Now he is wheelchair bound.
Here is the full text of his lecture from America magazine.
Here is the moving end of his lecture:
As I approach the termination of my active life, I gratefully acknowledge that a benign providence has governed my days. The persons I have met, the places I have been, the things I have been asked to do, have all coalesced into a pattern, so that each stage of my life has prepared me for the next. My 20 years on the McGinley Chair have been a kind of climax, at least from my personal point of view. I often feel that there is no one on earth with whom I would want to exchange places. It has been a special privilege to serve in the Society of Jesus, a religious community specially dedicated to the Savior of the world.
The good life does not have to be an easy one, as our blessed Lord and the saints have taught us. Pope John Paul II in his later years used to say, "The Pope must suffer." Suffering and diminishment are not the greatest of evils, but are normal ingredients in life, especially in old age. They are to be accepted as elements of a full human existence. Well into my 90th year I have been able to work productively. As I become increasingly paralyzed and unable to speak, I can identify with the many paralytics and mute persons in the Gospels, grateful for the loving and skillful care I receive and for the hope of everlasting life in Christ. If the Lord now calls me to a period of weakness, I know well that his power can be made perfect in infirmity. "Blessed be the name of the Lord!"
But it is this picture of Dulles that will stay with me (as I wrote last April)
The most moving personal moment for me was meeting and spending a little time with Cardinal Avery Dulles. He is elderly and very frail now and walks with a four pronged cane, but still very sharp and possessing a lovely sense of humor. Very unpretentious - he simply introduced himself at breakfast as "Hello, I'm Avery Dulles". I got to sit at his small table at dinner and again at breakfast but the most memorable moment did not involve any words.
I visited the large, beautiful chapel before breakfast to spend a few minutes in adoration and found three other people there. Two students and Avery Dulles. He was alone, without his young priest assistant, who had been constantly at his side, steadying him throughout Mass and helping him ascend the podium. No longer able to kneel, he sat praying in a corner, his cane beside him.
The hidden source of all that wisdom.

BRIDGETON — Two former Vineland police officers, twin brothers who are now employed by the city of Bridgeton, Luis and Angel Santiago were both recently charged for their part in domestic violence incidents that occurred less than three weeks apart.
Angel was charged with simple assault on March 27.
On April 15, a woman named Juanita Perez filed a charge of harassment against Luis, saying that he was screaming at her in a vulgar manner in front of her children.
Both brothers had their weapons confiscated and were relegated to "administrative duty," according to Bridgeton Police Department Chief Mark Ott.
Unfortunately, they are the most recent in a long line of Cumberland County law enforcement officers charged with domestic violence.
Millville police officer Shawn Matos was charged with domestic assault in June 2010 for grabbing a woman's neck and chest.
Corrections officer Shane Denby was charged with aggravated assault, making terroristic threats and other charges when he allegedly slapped his estranged wife and pistol-whipped a 24-year-old man when he walked in on the pair at her house in June 2011.
Most notoriously, former Millville police officer Robert Vanaman shot his wife with his duty weapon in May 2006, then cut himself to make it seem as if she had attacked him. He was convicted of manslaughter and is serving a seven-year sentence.
A job in law enforcement comes with a certain amount of stress, counselors say. Sometimes that stress carries over into family life.
Abbey Bradway, a licensed professional counselor, has been dealing with the marital problems of law enforcement employees for the last 25 years.
She said that when she last checked a decade ago, 2,700 people worked in police departments and prisons in Cumberland County.
"Over the years, I have seen hundreds of people both from the prisons and the police departments," Bradway said recently.
"I have couples who come in. I have officers come in by themselves. They may be depressed or anxious. They could be coming because there's a threat of violence or there has been violence."
Law enforcement employees often get stuck in a sort of paradox, she explained. The financial security of the job leads to a relationship, but the stresses of the job ultimately destroy that relationship. Bradway explained that jobs in law enforcement are high-paying — corrections officer recruits start off at $40,000 per year — and widely available in Cumberland County. The salary allows the officers to enter into a stable relationship and comfortably raise a family. However, the job itself and what it actually entails can ultimately harm the relationship.
"Both police and prison work involves a lot of long, boring time, followed by some amazing crisis or traumatic event or some dramatic thing," Bradway said. "You sit in a patrol car for hours and see nothing, or you sit in a prison cell block and nothing goes on. Then, all of a sudden, everything goes on. The officers become on edge and get hyper vigilant. The stress piles up."
The stress leads to what Bradway believes is post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, which she feels has finally entered the mainstream consciousness due to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Prison guards and police officers often show the same symptoms as soldiers, she said.
"So they're hyper-vigilant, and then how do they turn it off? It's chronic, and it goes on and on, and they take it home and become irritable. They can't talk about work usually because they don't think their spouses will understand," she said.
When a law enforcement employee finally does lash out, his partner is left with a difficult choice.
"Obviously, the folks who work in these jobs are working in a paramilitary structure. In police departments or in prisons they don't want anyone to know there's physical violence at home, because if that's reported, or if the spouse calls 911, they will be suspended and probably lose their jobs. So the spouses won't report it because they don't want the breadwinner to lose his job. It's a real catch-22," she said.
Bradway said that many of her clients come to her once the situation at home is no longer tenable. She provides them with strategies they can use to de-escalate arguments and relieve some of the anger they are feeling.
"I tell them to go out and chop wood. It's called a cathartic exercise. You can go punch a punching bag. That's why some police departments have gyms and workout areas, so officers can go take out their aggression on something inanimate," she said.
"Now, that doesn't take the place of having increased communication with your spouse," the counselor added.
For this she prescribes Imago therapy, which has been used successfully during her 25 years in practice.
"Communication has broken down. They're living parallel lives. Police work or prison work has become all-consuming, and you have to get the couple to reconnect to each other," she explained.
To do this the couple must engage in an imago dialogue.
In psycho-therapy talk, imago is someone's archetypal mental image of a person, typically their mate, which is formed during childhood through interaction with the person's caretaker.
Though complex, imago dialogue is most simply explained as a structured dialogue in which one partner will repeat the other partner's statement, summarize it, explain why it makes sense and then imagine how it makes the person feel, according to a website dedicated to the subject.
"It's learning how to talk empathetically and listen empathetically. It's being in the other person's shoes and imagining what it's like to be the other person. If you're not in prison or walking a beat, it's hard to imagine what the other person is going through. That's what spouses need to know: How the other person is feeling."
Bradway said that, used successfully, the technique disproves the idea that men do not like to talk about their feelings.
There's "a lot of talk," she said, about men not wanting to get in touch with their feelings. "But, when we start doing this, and they feel safe and involved with their partner, they really like it," she explained.
Bradway admits that the therapy is not always successful. She estimated that 5 percent of her clients decide to totally leave police or prison work, another 10 percent decide to separate and divorce, 25 percent simply "suck it up" and continue with their lives as usual, while the rest "make significant changes, re-establish good relationships with their partner, and reach a balance in their lives where police and prison work isn't all consuming."
The system most favored by Bradway for getting help for troubled couples is the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in the workplace.
Under these programs, employers offer their employees easy-to-access assistance or counseling.
"I've gone in after a bank robbery where the FBI's there counting the money and getting the duct tape off of the pillars, and I'm there to help debrief the employees," she said.
Not all cases are so extreme. Typically, a counselor's telephone number is provided so an employee can easily contact the professional at work.
Or, "The HR department will put up big posters in the work site and give out little cards, and all they have to do is give us a call. It's a very, very easy system because there's no cost to the employee," she said.
When an employee takes advantage of the EAP, they usually have three to five sessions for free before deciding whether they would like to continue with therapy.
"This gives them a window of opportunity. If they want to continue, there are other expenses involved, but at least this is giving them a chance," she said.
Chief Mark Ott said that the Bridgeton Police Department once had an EAP, but no longer does. He said that decision rested with the city.
"We don't have them anymore. You can call city hall administration and ask them why," he said.
The chief said he was not sure when or why the program was canceled.

A couple of days ago, I commented on a college-friend's Facebook post. Unlike me, she used our biology major to become an environmentalist with a PhD. I used our major to edit my husband's first book.
***Shameless plug: Buy Nature's Witness: How Evolution Can Inspire Faith. Send our daughter to college.***
Our genetics professor also commented. I hadn't seen him since I failed his class and he left to teach at a different college.
I don't think the two events were connected. It was just a really dark semester. The next time around, I made a decent grade.
In between, he called me into his office. Unlike my advisor who urged me to change my major—the college had a medical school matriculation reputation to maintain—he just wanted to make sure I was OK. He prayed for me.
It Only Takes a Spark
I confess that I've forgotten a lot of genetics. I've never forgotten that one adult, who saw my humiliation, participated in some of it, and nevertheless addressed me with dignity and hope instead of dismissing me or my failure.
So of course, I "friended" him. In keeping with his character, he started a conversation. Not a long one. He's still busy, trying to help failing students learn genetics at that other college. I bet he's graciously tolerating the kid who eats chips and crinkles the snack bag right under his nose while he's lecturing. And I guarantee he still offers thoughtful devotions before his labs.
During our e-chat, he mentioned wrestling with the shifting Evangelical sands around Genesis 1.
Evolution is a touchy subject.
I checked out his school page. The official perspective he offers his students? Intelligent design.
That other college must have a reputation—and a donor base—to protect, too. Mine would. Committed Christians (and their institutions) everywhere wrestle to interpret Scripture and science faithfully. Not everyone achieves humility or grants others dignity in the midst of this "conversation."
The Tongue Is a Fire
Some of us feel that speaking the language of evolution is celebrating the God of evolution (Ps 19). Some of us are fluent in the language of evolution because it is the language of our unbelieving brethren (1 Cor 10:27). Some of us decline to speak evolution because we do not wish to compromise the language of faith (1 Kgs 18:21). Some of us combine elements of both in hopes of creating a third mutually-acceptable language (1 Cor 14:23–25).
Way back in high school, I raised this issue with my father, a medical doctor, and it was from him that I learned to praise the Creator in both the language of science and the language of faith. My college advisor didn't think it was possible to be so bilingual. My husband is a fairly accomplished translator.
As for me, I continue to believe that speaking evolution is speaking to unbelievers in the language of their unbelief. Learning another language means learning to think in that language, too; however thinking evolution does not deny faith. It simply encourages one to be more thoughtful, intentional, deliberate, and humble with that fire, the tongue (Jas 3:5–10).
Out of the Same Mouth
"Am I dishonest? Am I cruel to the unbeliever?" asks Han Fei-tzu in Orson Scott Card's Xenocide. His daughter has brought him a similar conundrum and he's explained to her how he can both be godspoken and serve the heathen as a diplomat.
"'Does a daughter judge her father?' [answers] Qing-jao.
"'Of course she does,' [says her] Father. 'Every day all people judge all other people. The question is whether we judge wisely.'
"'Then I judge that it's no sin to speak to the unbelievers in the language of their unbelief.'"
The scary language of unbelief is not the most powerful element when we make our judgments. Rather, it's our tone of voice, whether we speak in the language of unbelief or of belief. Achieving humility and granting others dignity—that is what is remembered. That is what stirs hearts, even twenty years on.

A wrongful death suit has been filed against a local non-profit organization by the estate of a Warren woman.
In September 2010, Virginia Guiffre, 77, died as a result of injuries sustained in a fall down a flight of stairs at the Sheltered Workshop on the Warren State Hospital grounds.
According to documents filed by Attorney Laurie TeWinkle in the name of Richard Olney as administrator of Guiffre's estate, Guiffre was a volunteer in the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). "On Sept. 10, 2010, Mrs. Guiffre was volunteering on behalf of the RSVP Program and... went to see a patient at Warren State Hospital who was participating in the woodworking program" - the RSVP Toy Shoppe.
According to the Root Cause Analysis fact-finding in the case provided to the Times Observer, Guiffre was going to the Toy Shoppe to present a toy chair she had hand-painted with an angel and two crosses to a patient at the hospital.
To get to the basement of the Sheltered Workshop where the Toy Shoppe was run, volunteers had to pass through a "large metal door" known as the Third Door that "opened directly into the stairwell contrary to the building codes," according to the court filing.
There is an elevator in the building that requires an employee key, according to the fact-finding.
"When Mrs. Guiffre tried to go through the Third Door, it hit her and knocked her down, causing her to fall head first down a set of concrete steps," according to the filing.
The fact-finding states that she was positioning her cane on the first step down and reaching for the handrail when the door struck her from behind. The Toy Shoppe Coordinator was behind Guiffre, carrying the chair.
Guiffre suffered a variety of injuries as a result of the fall, the document states, and died as a result of those injuries on Sept. 14, 2010.
The filing states that the RSVP program had the responsibility to provide safe working environments, including safe "pathways of ingress and egress" to its volunteers.
The RSVP program breached that duty by allowing volunteers, including those who use a cane to walk, to use the Third Door to access the workshop, according to the filing.
As a result, according to the suit, Guiffre "suffered severe physical injuries, pain, suffering, mental anguish, humiliation, loss of life, and medical expenses."
The suit demands a jury trial and seeks to recover compensatory damages and other sums for the estate - "money for medical service and supplies... funeral and estate expenses..." and the benefits "they would have received from Mrs. Guiffre" - in excess of the $50,000 limit of arbitration in Warren County.

Stress, illnesses and their consequences - in general
Stress is a commonly used word. But what does it really mean?
And why does a stressy horse have long term physical problems and lack resilience?
A stressed horse is not only an agitated or anxious animal: stress is much more than just that.
One could define stress as the sum of biological reactions to aggressive threats. This aggression can be external: perceived by the senses, internal (pain) or psychological (anguish, tension or worry). One distinguishes two types of stress:
1) physical stress (work, wounds, vaccinations)
2) psychological stress (anxiety, weaning, frequent transportation, change of environment, lack of turn out )
Like humans, for horses there is a strong link between mind and body. This will be particularly noticeable in a situation of brutal conflict.
When the horse becomes anxious or scared (psychological stress), he may react in the following ways:
widening of the eyes, heightening of respiratory rhythm, cardiac rhythm and blood pressure
slowing of digestion (physical stress, sympathetic nervous system)
maximal alertness, flight reflex.
When the situation returns to normal, the organism (using the parasympathetic nervous system) re-balances itself: regular respiratory and cardiac rates etc. are resumed. Physiological mechanisms permit body homeostasis. If the horse is stressed for too long or too frequently homeostasis could be permanently disrupted and trigger immunity troubles, sickness, wounds and fatigue.
Physical consequences of stress
Neurological (cerebral):
*limbic system: centre for emotions, behaviour and memory.
*hypothalamus: regulation of homeostasis in coordination with the:
*pituitary gland: humoral responses.
As soon as a horse is affected by psychological stress the limbic system sends signals to the hypothalamus which in turn stimulates the pituitary gland and the autonomous nervous system (see diagram). In the case of continuous stress, this causes malfunctions within different organs. These include gastric and intestinal ulcers, cardiac, renal or pulmonary problems, muscular contractions etc.
The pituitary gland is capable of two reactions:
a nervous reaction: liberation of ADH (vasopressin) which regulates the hydro-electrolytic equilibrium in the kidney.
a humoral reaction (vascular) which is particularly important in stressful situations: the pituitary gland releases ACTH, which produces corticoids (stress hormones) by stimulation of the adrenal glands.
There are two sorts of corticoids:
1) mineralocorticoids (aldosterone) which regulate mineral (Na+, K+, Cl-) metabolism and blood pressure.
2) glucocorticoids: the most important in the case of stress and increases the production of cortisol significantly.
slows the absorption of glucose by the cells and increases the concentration of blood glucose. It has a primordial role in the regulation of glucose metabolism.
it also slows absorption of amino acids by muscular cells.
cortisol increase has a depressing effect on anti-body producing cells (plasma cells as leukocytes and lymphocytes), leading to a heightened risk of inflammation and infection.
Prolonged stress may cause a permanent hormone release which can result in high blood pressure, gastric and/or intestinal ulcers, digestive, cardiac, cutaneous and pulmonary problems, higher risk of infection, loss of condition, lack of appetite etc. Also, lack of physical strength and resilience are stressful in themselves meaning that the situation becomes a vicious circle (see diagram).
How to stop this vicious circle and limit its consequences?
The horses routine and work are to be considered. Sport horses should always be offered antioxidants (
) and probiotics (
) as well as courses of
Equidrink Immunotonic
Additionally, one should systematically:
administer renal and hepatic cleansers and probiotics after a course of antibiotics, vaccinations or wormers:
Equidrink Drainage
after changing yard or owner, let the horse get used to his environment. Horses get very attached to their environment and routine;
for horses who travel often or for long periods of time, one should schedule periods of rest in order to avoid the stressful vicious circle mentioned above;
in the event of fatigue and lack of appetite without a fever, a hepatic and renal cleanse alongside probiotics may be useful:
Equidrink Drainage
Equidrink Immunotonic
if your horse yawns a lot with his head down, he may have high gastric acid levels: you may wish to follow a course of
: clay will absorb excess acidity. If this isnt sufficient, you may wish to try
(see also Digestion-Gastric Ulcers).
Always keep a watchful eye on your horse: you should pay attention to each change in his behaviour, attitude, appearance of his coat, appetite etc. If in doubt, please call your vet.

William A. Maas
Today it's back to the attic for another photo from the family album!
This is a photo of William Arthur Maas, my great-grandfather. He was born in Quincy, Illinois, the ninth of thirteen children. When he was a young man, he moved with his brother Leo to Kansas City, Missouri, and worked a number of jobs (salesman, real estate, stock broker) before marrying and moving the family to California.
This photo is one of a series of little snapshots. It comes at the end of several where he is at the top of the trees picking fruit in his suit. A long time ago, people tended to wear nicer clothes at all times. I like the relaxed look here where even his dog looks content.

r, I don't know what kind of fruit it is. Maybe small apples?
Rob, I would guess sometime between 1925 and 1930. The photo is not dated, but he was still living in the Midwest in 1924 and this looks like California to me.

MN Opera Event: Wuthering Heights
I wore my black City Chic dress with the striped bodice, a denim blazer, and my pink jewel encrusted flats - yep, essentially the same thing I wore to the Shhh.launch party. By switching out the dress and styling the accent pieces a little differently...I had on a whole different outfit.
The first stop of the night was at our favorite sushi restaurant, Sakura, for cocktails, sushi and mingling with fellow bloggers. That was especially fun because the group was kind of a mixed bag of Twin Cities bloggers- fashion, lifestyle, topical and more. Dan and I sat down with Heidi Schatz and the the object of her blog, My Boyfriend is Only Sort of Annoying - they were very funny and even more so after reading a few of her blog posts. And I met Jill from Spoils of Wear- we didn't get to chat nearly enough but it was nice to make that connection.
Jill, Lori (Jill's friend), Heidi, and me in the lobby at The Ordway Center.
The Minnesota Opera is a company known for its innovative, accessible approach to operatic productions. Indeed, the shows' Maestro, Michael Christie, joined us at Sakura to tell us about the show we were about to see. He answered questions, and talked about the complex stage set comprised of scrims and projected graphic imagery. Wuthering Heights is, quite possibly, one of the most iconic stories of two lovers who just can't quite get it together in time to actually share a happy life together. It's moody and emotionally violent, both of which were captured perfectly by the combined use of the musical score and the set.
If you'd like to see Wuthering Heights, you can get ticket and show information at www.mnopera.org.

The World Heritage Convention is one of the most important global conservation instruments
Created in 1972, the primary mission of the Convention is to identify and protect the world's natural and cultural heritage considered to be of Outstanding Universal Value.
It embodies a visionary idea – that some places are so important that their protection is not only the responsibility of a single nation, but is also the duty of the international community as a whole; and not only for this generation, but for all those to come.
It is governed by the World Heritage Committee supported by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, the secretariat for the Convention, and three technical advisory bodies to the Committee: IUCN, ICOMOS, ICCROM. IUCN is the Advisory Body on natural heritage. It monitors listed sites and evaluates sites nominated to the World Heritage List, in accordance with the relevant natural criteria for selection (vii) - (x):
(viii) to be outstanding examples representing major stages of earth's history, including the record of life, significant on-going geological processes in the development of landforms, or significant geomorphic or physiographic features;
(ix) to be outstanding examples representing significant on-going ecological and biological processes in the evolution and development of terrestrial, fresh water, coastal and marine ecosystems and communities of plants and animals;
(x) to contain the most important and significant natural habitats for in-situ conservation of biological diversity, including those containing threatened species of outstanding universal value from the point of view of science or conservation.

Three economic development loans totaling $200,000 to new and existing businesses in Harrisburg were announced this morning by Mayor Stephen R. Reed.
Loans awarded are $15,000 to Basic Steps Day Care Center, 1223 N. Cameron St., owned by Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Ward; $35,000 to Nightingale Health and Wellness Services LLC, 2801 N. Front St. owned by Lorraine Bock and Pamela Parson; and $150,000 to Suites at Stocks, owned by Stephen and KJ Weinstock.
The city loan program is administered by the mayor's Office of Economic Development and Special Projects.
Owners of the day care center plan to open a second center early in 2008. Founded in 2004, it now has 25 employees and is licensed for 65 children.
Nightingale services expects to use the loan for working capital, supplies and medical data computer programs. The agency has a main office and two smaller offices where services including acupuncture and Reiki are available.
The Weinstocks, who own the restaurant Stock's on 2nd, will use the money to open a smaller restaurant at the site of the former Center City Bread Shed on Locust Street and to add seating outside the current restaurant.
For information on the loan program, visit www.harrisburgPa.gov. or call 717-255-3027.

An uptown man was killed early Sunday during a home invasion-robbery by two masked men that was probably drug-related, Harrisburg police said.
Robert Rickard, 30, of the 2700 block of Green Street, was shot to death in his apartment around 12:05 a.m. Sunday, Lt. Robert H. Fegan said.
It was the first homicide of 2012 in Harrisburg.
Officers were dispatched to the 2700 block of Green Street shortly after midnight for a reported shooting. When they arrived, a woman told them that her friend had been shot in his apartment, police said.
Rickard was already dead, apparently from a gunshot wound to the neck, Fegan said. The woman told officers that she was visiting Rickard when two masked men kicked open the apartment door and demanded money from Rickard, Fegan said.
One man shot Rickard, and then they ransacked Rickard's bedroom and left with undetermined items, Fegan said.
"The incident is not believed to be a random act," Fegan said. The woman, who was not harmed, ran to get help and called police.
An autopsy will be performed this week, said Dauphin County First Assistant District Attorney Fran Chardo.
He said that Rickard was most likely targeted.
Rickard lived in the Riverfront Park apartments, two-story red-brick apartment buildings two blocks from the Susquehanna River. The neighborhood appeared quiet Sunday morning, with few venturing outside in the freezing weather.
"I moved here from the hood four years ago because this is a quiet neighborhood without crime," a neighbor said. "No matter where you go, it's not safe. I didn't hear any shots, but I saw cops."
Anyone with information on the shooting should contact Detective Jason Brinker at 717-255-7298 or firstname.lastname@example.com or Sgt. Deric Moody at 717-255-3156 or email@example.com.

To the Editor:
The things Margaret Thatcher taught the world about leadership are not so much unique to her but rather lessons in clarity on timeless truths. We suffer under a president who only campaigns and hides from the decisions that define a leader.
I think someone needs to sit our hero down and show him a few clips of the "Iron Lady" dealing with problems. She never voted "present" in her life.
Perhaps true leaders are better defined by their enemies rather than their friends, particularly since many of those friends may be the first to jump ship in rough waters. Ah, but your enemies oppose you purely for who you are. Thatcher's enemies were the socialists and communists of her era.
Come to think of it, we may be wasting time to have this president study her.

Georgians marked National School Choice Week Jan. 24-30, a week of events highlighted by thousands of yellow "woobie" scarves and celebration of the innovations in education in Georgia.
You may have the impression that the Civil War ended sometime around 1865, after the Confederate armies stacked their weapons, the soldiers returned to their homes, and the southern states were re-admitted back into the Union.
It would be entirely reasonable to think that, but in some areas of the Georgia capitol it would also be a big mistake.
One of the great privileges I've had as the publisher of the Columbia County News-Times is meeting the people who live in this community.
Truly, not a week goes by that I don't meet someone with a story that needs to be shared, and this week in no different, except that it might be better than most.
On Monday we were paid a visit by 93-year-old Dorothy Jens.
Just as some of us (that would be me) are recovering from the hangover from the last round of elections, which ended with the December runoffs, a new election season is on us again.
Diuretics, commonly called water pills, are among the most often prescribed medications and may be used alone or in combination with other drugs in management of high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney or liver disease and other medical problems. These drugs provide help for many individuals each year. But, as always, diuretics must be used carefully and monitored closely so that their benefits outweigh their risks.
I used part of my lunch hour – and maybe a little more – Friday to drop by a place close to the office to visit a fine young man, Benjamin Malone.
Benjamin is my first grandchild who has his first four or five teeth. He has yet to blow out a birthday candle – or stick his finger in it like his mother did – so he's a long way from 18.
County leaders are in the midst of a 30-day fact-finding period to come up with a plan to take advantage of Georgia's burgeoning film and television industry.
We were raised right, and I don't just mean we knew to wear panty girdles so we didn't jiggle like those "loose" girls. In polite company, there was to be no talk whatsoever about politics, religion, or sex.
And heaven knows, the subject of money, neither what one earned or what one had, was shared. THAT was so private we didn't even talk about not talking about it.
This is a fight over "freedom" that legislators don't really need. It's a fight they could have avoided. But it seems to be a fight that they are destined to have.
We're talking about the freedom to discriminate against gays if you can convince the authorities that you are doing so out of a sincerely held religious belief.

SOMERSET — Madison Square Garden can keep the American Kennel Club's annual dog show.
This weekend, the new season of cat competitions begins with an expo at the Garden State Exhibit Center in Somerset. Some 416 animals will mew and paw their way to the top.
The state, home to 3 million cats at last estimate, is also the world headquarters of a group that oversees hundreds of cat shows around the globe.
The Cat Fanciers' Association, a nonprofit founded in 1906 and based in Manasquan, promotes the perfection of pedigrees as well as the adoption of strays. The CFA represents a community of more than 35,000 breeders, owners and general enthusiasts.
"The Garden State show is one of the largest we have," says Allene Tartaglia, executive director of the CFA. She owns two Devon Rex cats, Oscar de la Rexpa and Zachary Dachary Dock.
"People who are campaigning for a national win go to the show because you get points based on the cats that you defeat and they get more points than they would at a smaller show."
The Garden State Cat Club, which dates to 1938, presents the expo annually. The 75 members meet once a month for dinner and lectures on such topics as cat massage and CPR.
"The crazy cat lady is a ridiculous stereotype," says show organizer, Brenda Flahault, who has 10 Maine coons, each named for a different wine variety, including Chianti, Kendall Jackson and Sonoma Valley. "We're from all walks of life."
The gender balance tilts towards women, but an increasing number of men are converting into cat people.
"Certain breeds that attract men," says Gary Veach, a judge and veterinarian assistant based in Maywood. "Men gravitate towards ocicats because they have that wild feral look that men love. They like Maine coons because of their size and mass. They like Abyssinians because of their intelligence."
|Cats of all shapes and sizes compete for prizes at Cat Expo in Somerset
Many breeders and exhibitors travel every weekend collecting ribbons, vying for their cat to be named grand champ at the CFA annual meeting in June. Fluffy, slinky, regal or comical, cats are evaluated for looks and personality.
"Certainly beauty is a criteria, but there's also rapport," says Veach. "With some cats, you don't use your head to judge. You use your heart."
Flahault did not want the name of her town printed because she said show participants have been targeted by animals rights activists, who object to caging cats and even the very idea of "owning" an animal.
"At one show, I noticed a cat on a table next to me and no owner," the retired Union County teacher explains. "Someone had opened all the cage doors. Out west, a judge's home was raided and they let all of her cats out."
There's an uptick in the number of purring participants over last year, as the cat community is growing in spite of the recession, or maybe because of it.
"People are moving to smaller environments, an apartment as opposed to a house, and cats are much more adaptable," says Geri Fellerman, who runs the show with Flahault.
Veach said he thinks it goes deeper.
"If you go back in history, any time the economy is bad, the need for companionship increases and cats are companions," he explains.
The rules have changed over the past two years allowing disabled animals to compete. One contestant is missing a leg. There's also a blind cat named Trouble in the talent pool.
Fellerman says, "She has no eyes, but she gets around beautifully."

Best of Toronto
The Best Health Food Stores in Toronto
The best health food stores in Toronto underscore that it's time we retire the notion that such shops are the stomping ground of rich hippies and granola do-gooders, and fess up to the reality that these stores are an integral part of how Torontonians feed themselves and make themselves well, in mind, body and spirit.
Rarely does one store have it all: some focus on fresh, local produce, building relationships with suppliers and the community, some are mostly vitamin and supplement dispensaries with highly trained practitioners as staff, and some began as centres to buy bulk staples, lowering costs and packaging for customers. But increasingly, as we demand more local, environmental, democratic and sustainable food options, and look for non-traditional therapies and alternative remedies, these health stores grow and change with us.
Here are the best health food stores in Toronto.

The Big Carrot
The Big Carrot feels like shopping in New England, where modern outlet malls retain the vibe of an oddly Dickensian emporium.

Noah's Natural Foods
Noah's Natural Foods began in 1981 at Bloor and Spadina, and with five locations scattered across the GTA, it is a veritable empire. Heck, they have their very own app where you can order all your favourite products and pills without leaving the comfort of your home, though the cafe/vegan take-out joint Fennel hidden in the back of one location would be well worth the trip. More »
Qi Natural Foods
With three spots, one in Koreatown, one on Roncesvalles and one on Eglinton, Qi Natural Foods is clean and well organized and very competitive in terms of pricing, with a limited selection of fresh produce, but an impressive range of bulk items, frozen goods and supplements. More »

Tutti Frutti
Tutti Frutti is a Kensington Market institution, narrow but piled high, known for its great prices and friendly staff. The bulk section is particularly good and attentiveness at the checkout means low wait times. Find especially cheap beeswax candles and body products here. More »
Herbs and Nutrition
Herbs and Nutrition at Bloor and Bathurst has become a neighbourhood staple. Maybe it's that the staff are so helpful, or that the inventory (a mix of dried goods, supplements and minerals and fresh items) is clearly laid out, or just maybe it's the consistently budget-friendly pricing. More »
Karma Co-Op
Karma Co-op, hidden deep within the Annex, harkens back to the early days of health stores, a bunch of like-minded people interested in bulk purchasing healthful food for the welfare of their bodies, the community and their pockets.

Ambrosia Natural Foods
The growth of Ambrosia Natural Foods in Thornhill has been an evolutionary process. They began with bulk food in the seventies, adding vitamins and supplements in the eighties, organic produce in the late nineties and sports and anti-aging nutrition in the aughts. Now, with two franchises in Vaughan and Newmarket as well. More »
Healthy Planet
Healthy Planet has a stronghold on the greater Toronto area with locations in Scarborough, North York, Pickering, Markham, Mississauga and Etobicoke, and now has a Danforth location as well. Sport nutrition, supplements, body care and packaged foods are their focus, but they have a fresh prepared food option at some locations also. More »
Evergreen Natural Foods
Evergreen Natural Foods has two locations geared more for vitamins and supplements, body care products and frozen, packaged or bulk food rather than fresh produce, but the comprehensive selection and open doors on Sundays has people coming back for more. More »
Moberly Fine Foods
Moberly Natural Foods, at Woodbine and Coxwell, used to be called Better Bulk Danforth. But a change in focus, from bulk to natural foods, required a name change as well. Staff is eager to guide you through the many options available, be it bulk goods, soy, body products or supplements. More »

Supplements/Whey/Vitamims etc: Healthy Planet. They stock a lot of good brands (NOW, Naturals, AOR etc) rather than the low quality (Jamiesons etc) and are on average $8-10 dollars cheaper. Im not saying that supplements can replace a bad diet, but bioavailibility does matter in absorbtion...Even their chia seeds, acai berries are cheaper, than say Whole Foods. The brands are the same and they are not near expired as I once thought they were. The only location I can vouch for is the one at Ellesmere/VP.
Grocery: Call me crazy, but Longos and Whole foods are very competitively priced when it comes to MOST organic groceries. Kale, Spinach and avocados are priced simliar if not cheaper than these stores. Some stuff, such as Strawberries and blueberries are priced higher. However, I will not buy any Chia seed, Golden berries dried fruit here. Way cheaper than Healthy Planet. If anyone can give me some experience with the stores above regarding organic veggies/fruits...that would be great.
Also: If anyone is interested in buying Perrier water, Food Basics sells a 1 litre plasic bottle for 1.69. I seen 750ml bottles go for $3 at other places...so yes.
Ambrosia Natural Foods is also very good as I like their selection of Honey and what not. Great staff as well.
Also I'm wondering if it's worth mentioning Karma Co-Op? It's currently members only (members either pay a fee or volunteer to have access to the cheap bulk and produce), but they're opening it up to the public in the new year (but upping the price. Members will get a discount)
Biiiii-yatch! Wooop Woop.
Organic Garage in Vaughan & Oakville is AMAZING! Great selection & prices for organic and all natural foods. The staff is VERY friendly & helpful and the store is always so clean and you even get to demo lots of great and exciting products! :) There is even a Toronto location coming soon! :)
For my hard earned money, The Nuthouse and D-Mart on Bloor and Lansdowne are worth the walk. Both have better pricing and consistently friendly service.

Onnit's product "Onnit 180" is great for those hangover days and restless sleep nights. Thats my number one recommendation.
They have pretty good stuff and i buy my milk from there every week.
I will be sure to share and subscribe. Pop in on my site there is something interesting and a real breakthrough in redoxing.
When we started our business, Baldwin Naturl's ordered products and requested a wooden shelf too. Even though it was too much cost at that time we agreed and brought one and fixed it for them.
Later when we called for payment for invoice they did not answer the phone. Therefore we went there but that guy and the woman literally chased us out of the store. The guy almost came out upto our vehicle to show that he can physically harm us. We could not go to the police that day as many other stores were waiting for products and did not have the time.
No one should ever go to this store if it still exists.

The state Senate is expected to vote Wednesday on a compromise bill that would extend Mayor Linda Thompson's control over Harrisburg schools past June 30 but start a phased return of power to the elected school board by December 2011.
In the latest shift in the battle for control of the struggling Harrisburg School District, members of the elected board would gain a majority on the district's board of control by December 2012, and take over in July 2013 as the board of control's mandate expires.
The proposal, offered by Sen. Jeffrey Piccola, R-Dauphin County, was described as a compromise that seeks to find common ground over the city schools' control once the state's Education Empowerment Act expires June 30. That law would put the elected school board back in charge at that time, if no extension is approved.
Insertion of Piccola's plan Tuesday into an unrelated education bill that provides alternative pathways for certification as a teacher or principal could jeopardize the state's application for $400 million in federal Race to the Top funds, House Democrats said.
The urgency in moving the Race to the Top legislation stems from a June 1 deadline for the state to submit its application for the federal grant competition for school reform efforts. The alternative certification language was viewed as critical to winning that grant.
Piccola noted Harrisburg schools remain in financial and academic distress. The district faces a $22 million deficit that might force the closure of two schools and staff layoffs this summer. Additionally the district has failed to hit the state's academic targets for student performance throughout the past decade.
"In the face of the uncertainty and contentiousness between the board of control and the elected board, I believe a gradual transition from a board of control to an elected board will provide stability and accountability," Piccola said.
His plan would keep a seven-member board of control in place on July 1. It would maintain the structure of five members appointed by the mayor and two elected school board members through Nov. 30, 2011.
On Dec. 1, 2011, it would reduce the number of mayoral appointees by one, and cede that seat to the elected school board, giving it a third representative on the board. The mayor would have veto power over one of the elected board's choices.
On Dec. 1, 2012, the mayoral appointees on the board of control would be cut to three and the elected school board members would gain majority control with four seats.
All mayoral appointees would serve at Thompson's pleasure, although in a new twist one of the mayor's appointees would be required to come from Dauphin County but outside of Harrisburg.
A Piccola staffer said the proposal was part of an effort to find a compromise between warring elements that demand full local control or who believe the district needs more time for academic improvement.
Mayor Linda Thompson was silent on the proposal Tuesday night. Thompson's Chief of Staff Michael Holmes said the mayor was still receiving information about the plan and would reserve comment.
One person who doesn't like it is Rep. Ronald Buxton, D-Harrisburg. "My strong position has always been and remains that at the end of the original empowerment act, the governance of the Harrisburg School District returns to the elected Harrisburg School Board," said Buxton, a proponent of returning the district to the elected board.
One member of Harrisburg's elected school board sharply criticized Piccola's plan as continuing to treat city residents as second-class citizens. "I think we want control back July 1, period," said Tiffiney Penn, who noted the elected school board members have worked hard to be in position to hit the ground running.
"This is bigger than control of a board," Penn said. "It's about democracy. You're silencing the people's voice."

By JEFF THOMAS
AMHERST - For one reason or another, the 2008 season for the University of Massachusetts football team's season will be decided by players who were here last year.
The last four seasons under Don Brown, the Minutemen have brought in transfers from the Football Bowl Subdivision to shore up holes or depth on both sides of the ball.
Most have pitched in and been productive; others not so much.
Some of those transfers will be on the field when UMass opens the season Aug. 30 against Albany, like Jeromy Miles (Navy) and Courtney Robinson (UConn) in the secondary and Jeremy Horne (Syracuse) at wide receiver.
But the list doesn't go much deeper than that, and the incoming class has only one transfer from the higher level of Division I who will likely see time this season.
More than any year under Brown, this UMass team will rely more on players who have grown up on the Amherst campus and learned the game of football from Brown and his staff.
And that's just fine with the fifth-year coach, who Tuesday during the team's Media Day said he feels very good about the team he has and believes it will get improve greatly as the season advances.
"I have a good feeling about this group," Brown said. "Wherever we are on August 30 against Albany we'll be way better six weeks later. This is an exciting group to coach."
Sometimes certain words are used to sugarcoat a shortcoming. Think real estate. When the agent says cozy, he really means small.
The word exciting can be the same way when spoken by coaches. Exciting can mean just that, or it can also mean unpredictable, a word a football coach never wants to use to describe a player or team.
The UMass offense will have a little bit of the unknown to it until the first play. Senior quarterback Liam Coen, the preseason offensive player of the year in the Colonial Athletic Association, has a retooled line in front of him and a group of receivers who have only a handful of catches among them.
"We're going to have a lot of new faces on offense, our receiver corps will not be household names but I still think we have some very talent young men that can help us," Brown said. "Our offensive line might be the biggest we've ever been."
Defense will be the team's strength early on, the Minutemen returning nine players who took a significant number of snaps in 2007.
Special teams is another matter. Punter Brett Arnold and placekicker Armando Cuko have something to prove after both lost their jobs, Arnold last year and Cuko two years ago.
"Special teams is a big question mark for us," Brown said. "Armando takes over the kicking, and Brett Arnold is leading the pack in the punt piece."
Cuko kicked as a freshman, but when Chris Koepplin was signed in 2006, he kicked the last two seasons. Cuko, now a junior after redshirting in 2006, has impressed the staff with his commitment in the offseason.
Arnold, a junior college transfer last year, began the season strong, but was struggling by midseason and replaced late in the year by Scott Woodward.
"I have a year under my belt, so I'm confident and know the speed of the game," Arnold said.
Brown said there are some junior college transfers who could impact this season, like linebacker Terrance Farris, offensive lineman Bryan Fisher and linebacker Kurt Filler.

The working guy might easily add atheists -- perhaps the least trusted group in the US (and most of the world) -- to his list of scapegoats!
(Though that distrust among religious believers is reduced when people are reminded of secular authority such as the police. "People want the world to be orderly and controlled, but it seems like the authority that keeps people in line can be religious or secular.... in countries where the government is more effective and stronger, atheists are both more common and more trusted.")

The majority of those leaving the game come from the ranks of Greyhound Trainers as opposed to Professional trainers but Levy refutes suggestions from certain quarters that there is a mass exodus.
The figures have been going down by about 100 each year but the number of licences issued or renewed this year is much the same as in 2011, roughly 500 greyhound trainers and 400 professionals.
As trainers fall away so others come on board, it is a sad fact of life that the economy is hitting everyone and the fact that some trainers are seeking pastures new is not exclusive to greyhound racing, many industries are suffering.
The cost of diesel has soared in recent years and the knock-on effect is that everything else has gone up in price, it costs more to feed a dog these days and, of course, the cost of taking a dog to and from a track has risen sharply.
Track closures, although the pace has thankfully slackened somewhat, has inevitably impacted on trainers' businesses but those handlers who rent their kennels are feeling the pinch more than those who own their kennels.
The cost of renting a place doesn't go down, in fact it usually goes up year on year, and what with transport costs and all the other bits and bobs trainers are finding it difficult to earn a living. Truth is that many are running at a loss.
Owners and trainers have not been compensated for the increasing costs by any significant hike in prizemoney, indeed we are a far cry from the days when a graded dog would cover his monthly kennel bill with a win every four weeks.
Not so these days and two trainers a week leaving the sport may not be a great surprise in the current climate but it is nevertheless two too many. The re-opening of Coventry has steadied the ship somewhat as will the emergence of Towcester, there are some pluses out there, but not many!

After seven and a half seasons with the Denver Nuggets, former Syracuse University star and Brooklyn native Carmelo Anthony is headed home to New York.
The New York Knicks agreed to a trade deal with the Nuggets on Monday, ending months of speculation about where the All-Star forward would land after he refused to sign a three-year, $65 million extension with the Nuggets last summer.
"I think it's a great opportunity for him," said Jim Boeheim, Anthony's former college coach, in an interview on The Score 1260 on Tuesday morning.
Coach Boeheim spoke to Anthony about the future of his career last summer. Boeheim says that while New York has always been Anthony's top choice, it's about more than that to the player who helped lead SU to the national championship in 2003.
"I think he wants to win, period. I think that's the key and New York's not a bad city to do it in, if you can do it there it's a pretty good deal," said Boeheim.
Anthony, who wore #15 at Syracuse and in Denver, is expected to wear No. 7 with the Knicks.
And, with the Knicks hoping to have Anthony in uniform by Wednesday for their home matchup with the Bucks, brokers are reporting soaring ticket prices.

Thanks for the sweet words, avocadogirl!
I've been back to eating Primal(ish) eating for about 3 weeks now. I'm feeling much better and most cravings have been calmed. I've stopped gaining weight (which is good, I was gaining at lightening speed). I'm hanging at 171 lbs. at 14 weeks pregnant. I've gained a total of 8 lbs. so far. I'm eating about 70-90% primal on any given day which I feel is a huge success after the backslide I did to white carbs during the first trimester. Morning sickness is the worst! But, that's over now, and I can focus on being healthy again.
I have been giving myself permission to have a non-primal indulgence each day and it seems to be keeping me in-check, so to speak, with the rest of my diet. Yesterday, I had a snickers ice cream bar after dinner, but some days my indulgence is just having a wrap with my salad inside instead of just salad by itself. I'm eating lots of eggs, bacon, fruit, sweet potatoes, meat, and some veggies. I'm keeping up with my vitamins (multi, and fish oil).
I know weight shouldn't be such a huge thing, but it is. It is for me. I don't want to be 200 lbs. at the end of this pregnancy. I was 185 lbs. at the end of my first pregnancy and I would be overjoyed if that's where I landed with this one. I'm hoping primal can even me out. I would never do anything to restrict my food intake or be hungry just for the sake of not gaining too much weight. I will eat whatever is needed to have a healthy baby. I have lots of extra energy stored around my butt, hips, and thighs, so as long as that energy is able to be pulled from, there should be no issues, right?
I'm just taking it one day at a time and trying to the best I can. I've been walking a lot more, and getting as much movement in each day as I can. I would like to start doing some body resistance training, again. Just starting to "show" a little bit in the last few days. I will keep updating every so often.

Ray Rice certainly still has his backers.
Days after the Baltimore Ravens fans warmly greeted their star running back at practice, the former Rutgers standout received a standing ovation as his name was announced before a preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers at M&T Bank Stadium on Thursday.
"Our fans are the best fans in the world," Rice said (per Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun). "I can't thank them enough, No. 1, for sticking by me and supporting me throughout my trials and tribulations. I owe my best to these fans for giving me that kind of ovation. I'm looking forward to giving them the best effort that I can every week throughout the season."
That season won't start until Week 3 for Rice after a two-game ban by the NFL for an altercation with his then-fiancee in an Atlantic City casino in February. (He can participate in training camp and play in the Ravens' four preseason games.) Rice was indicted on for aggrivated assault, a charge that could ultimately be dropped once he completes the diversion program he was accepted into in May.
He entered camp not only under a microscope due to the domestic violence incident, but also a few pounds lighter. The three-time Pro Bowler certainly showed some quickness with 17 yards on three carries he gained before he exited the game after the first series.
"I do feel different," Rice said (per The Washington Post's Mark Maske). "I guess it's safe to say I feel like back when I was a rookie. That's the weight I'm going to continue to try to play at. It's been good because obviously what I went through last year and added a little bit of extra weight, you can't make the cuts and stuff like you want to do. Training this offseason and focusing on the stuff that I needed to focus on — diet, exercise, all the stuff that I needed to do — I finally got down to a weight that I'm comfortable at. And I've gone out there and executed."
The reception likely won't be as welcoming come Aug. 16 when the Ravens travel to AT&T Stadium to play the Dallas Cowboys.

When it comes to professional sports, mistakes—innocent or not—tend to be put under a magnifying glass for all to see.
Thankfully for the general managers of National Hockey League teams, the current labor dispute between the league and the NHL Players' Association has diverted most of the attention away from their errors in judgment this past summer.
That doesn't mean they should get off scot-free, though. With that in mind, here are the 10 teams that made the biggest mistakes just prior to this current lockout:

Famous Artists Broadway Theater Series has announced its lineup for the 2012-2013 season. The series' touring musical productions will split its season between two venues, the Landmark Theatre and the Crouse-Hinds Theater in the John H. Mulroy Civic Center.
Five shows are included in the subscription series. The popular "Wicked," which had a successful three-week run in 2010 in Syracuse, has been booked as a special presentation, separate from the subscription series.
Here is the subscription series lineup:
"Jersey Boys," Oct. 9 to 28 at the Landmark Theatre.The musical is based on the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. It opened on Broadway in 2005 and is still going strong. Audiences are prone to singing along with such hits as "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and "My Eyes Adored You."
Blue Man Group, Jan. 31 to Feb. 2, 2013, at the Landmark Theatre.
Mum is the word because the three blue-hued men never speak. The Blue Man Group doesn't have a story, but it does have plenty of wild onstage escapades. Often, the audience is pulled into their combo of clowning, miming and music-making.
"The Addams Family," March 25 to 27, 2013, Crouse-Hinds Theater, John H. Mulroy Civic Center.
Cartoonist Charles Addams created a humorously macabre family, who moved from page to TV to film and now stage. For the musical, daughter Wednesday Addams is bringing home her "normal" fiance and his parents to meet her family.
"Cathy Rigby Is Peter Pan," April 15 to 17, 2013, Crouse-Hinds Theater, John H. Mulroy Civic Center.
The classic children's book by James M. Barrie was adapted for the Broadway stage in 1954 and has been a high-flying favorite since. One-time Olympic gymnast Cathy Rigby first played Peter Pan in 1974 and on Broadway in 1991 and 1998. She has toured in the role for many years, including a performance in 2006 in Syracuse.
"West Side Story," May 28 to 30, 2013, Crouse-Hinds Theater, John H. Mulroy Civic Center.
Lots of dancing and singing in this love story, a modern-day take on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" set in New York City. Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim are the music men behind the show, which has had four revivals since its 1957 Broadway opening.
"Wicked," Nov. 29 to Dec. 9 at Landmark Theatre.
The musical could be described as a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz." It introduces audiences to the two young girls who become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good. Series subscribers will have priority in ordering tickets for "Wicked" before the public sale. Single-ticket sale dates will be announced later.
Subscriptions to the Famous Artists series cost $170, $255 and $315. Current subscribers can renew through April 13, and sales for new subscribers begin April 22. To purchase, call Famous Artists at 424-8210 or visit its office at 241 W. Fayette St., Syracuse, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Dates for single-ticket sales for the five shows in the series and "Wicked" will be announced later.

Scouts Consider Adopting Atheist Oaths
Peter Walker, The Guardian
Since 1908, when Robert Baden-Powell laid down the rules for his nascent movement in Scouting for Boys, new Scouts and Guides have made the traditional three-finger salute and promised to not just help others but remain loyal to a deity or higher power. Now, for the first time, the self-professed godless could also be welcome.

|[TenTec] HF CW Practice Session
|firstname.lastname@example.com (Jim Reid)
|Sat, 25 Aug 2001 12:06:04 -1000
It works! I have just finished sending out a QST test signal, simultaneously on the W1AW code practice frequencies on 40, 20 and 15 meter bands by keying three rigs each feeding a different antenna. I could alternatively, put a signal on 80 instead of 15; on 30 instead of 40; or on 17 instead of 20, on which ever band propagation to the mainland and about the Hawaiian Islands is best for the time of day, season, etc. I was not sure if I might have a problem using the Force 12 C4 beam antenna. This antenna is fed with two lines; one for the 40 meter rotating dipole (which will also load up, using a tuner on 30 meters), and the array of elements for 20, 15, and 10 meters; effectively two yagi elements per band. Anyway, seems no problem in radiating simultaneous 40 and 20 meters signals on the W1AW frequencies keying separate rigs to feed each band, with the elements mounted on the same boom. Used the Corsair II on 40m; Omni VI+, 20m; and the Triton 544 for the 15m signals. Now must get my code practice format developed and text files for same set up. 73, Jim KH7M
