moreA raw and engrossing memoir of a young mother's addiction to eating disorders and her struggle toward health-now in paperback.
At twenty-four, Erica Rivera appeared to have it all: a B.A., two daughters, a successful husband, a house in the suburbs-and a great body. But under the surface, Erica was struggling with an addiction. She developed a self-destructive obsession with dieting, bingeing, purging, exercising, and, ultimately, anorexia. It wasn't until her very young daughters began to imitate her actions that she decided to get help-and to trace her disordered eating and body-image patterns across three generations of women in her family.
Insatiable is the raw, candid, and ultimately uplifting story of one woman's plunge into the depths of addiction and her fragile fight to climb back out. Getting to the root of her own problems helped her show her own daughters where happiness truly lies: in loving oneself. less

It's going to come down to calories in calories out if you're looking to lose weight. That's the bottom line.
If you're having trouble with cravings, try upping protein intake as protein has repeatedly been shown to be the most satiating macronutrient. I would recommend looking into whey protein because as you said, you're in need of quick and convenient choices. Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, chicken, beef; all good choices as well if you want to pack them into some tupperware.

WEST FARGO - James Kary was the only Dickinson pitcher to beat Williston in the teams' four regular season meetings, so choosing a game one starter for the state tournament was an easy decision for coach Cory Hansen.
Kary, a Minot State University signee, more than validated the decision Tuesday. The right-hander tossed a four-hitter and drove in three runs to lead the No. 8 Roughriders to an 11-1 win over the No. 9 Keybirds in the first round of the American Legion Class A State Tournament.
Dickinson (23-22) advances to meet host West Fargo, the No. 1 seed, at 8 p.m. tonight. Williston (17-26) is one game away from elimination and will play the loser of No. 3 Grand Forks and No. 6 Wahpeton at 2 p.m. Thursday. Grand Forks and Wahpeton play at 1:45 p.m. today.

Dickinson ace James Kary delivers a pitch in the Roughriders 11-1 win over Williston in the first round of the American Legion Class A State Tournament on Tuesday in West Fargo. Kary held the Keybirds to four hits though eight complete innings and was one of two Roughriders with three RBIs.
"It's always positive when you get the nod," Kary said. "I was a little nervous coming into the first inning, left a couple 0-2 pitches over the plate. But thankful the first inning didn't burn me too much."
Kary (3-5) gave up an RBI double to Lane Huck in the opening frame, but went on to retire 10 straight batters through the fourth inning. Dickinson chased Williston starter Trenten Hove from the game after a four-run first inning led by Kary's double, which brought in the first two runs.
"(Kary) did an exceptional job today," Hansen said. "He's pitched very well all year and we haven't given him any support. He's probably got our best ERA (2.30 entering the game) of the team and worst record because we haven't given him any support whatsoever."
Dickinson outhit Williston 13-4 and the Roughriders widened the gap to 6-1 in the sixth inning. Kary and Mark Erickson had RBI singles to rattle reliever Seth Falcon, who held the Roughriders scoreless in his first four innings.
The game ended by run rule in a five-run eighth inning capped by Dylan Skabo's three-run double. Skabo finished 3 for 6 with a triple, double and one run scored. He was the only batter Drew Borseth faced after Jordan Axness gave up the first two runs of the inning and loaded the bases.
"Dickinson did what a good team does. They just kept adding on," Williston coach Greg McNary said. "We really struggled throwing the ball over the plate tonight. I couldn't hardly believe it. We usually throw strikes pretty well."
The Keybirds' four pitchers walked 10 batters combined. McNary said Hove was the only one of the four to face Dickinson in the regular season and that appearance was a single inning of relief.
"Poor defense goes hand-and-hand with guys going for ball three, ball four, ball three, ball four," McNary said. "You know, guys get a little tighter out there, but there's no excuses. Dickinson just outplayed us in every phase of the game and tip your hat to Kary because he dominated us after that first inning."
Kary walked just one batter and hit one batter - Isaac Erickson to start the game. Erickson scored, but only two more Keybirds reached scoring position following the first inning.
"I was able to keep a pretty good hitting team off balance by throwing three pitches for strikes," said Kary, who used a fastball, changeup and slider.
The No. 5 Minot Vistas (24-20) play No. 4 Fargo (37-17) to open play at 11 a.m. today. Hunter Oothoudt will start for the Vistas. Fargo swept Minot in a doubleheader Saturday. The losses, which counted toward the state standings, dropped Minot from a possible No. 2 seed.

La Fornace di Racciano is a lovely Bed&Breakfast a short distance (2,8 Km) from the historical centre of medieval San Gimignano. It consists of a typical Tuscan country house surrounded by a large flowery garden. In the past "La Fornace di Racciano" was a furnace that produced lovely terracotta pottery using locally dug clay. Today, the building has been carefully renovated to maintain the typical features of the past, besides the modern comforts of nowadays. La Fornace di Racciano consists of seven comfortable rooms and four apartments, two of which are located in the ancient hamlet of Racciano.

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful B&B in June 2015 and everything was perfect . The location, the hospitality especially from Ambra and Cristiano was second to none . The breakfast buffet was excellent and of course I would be remiss not to mention Cristiano's coffee creations !!!! The standard of cleanliness throughout the property was a delight! I would highly recommend this destination and hopefully we'll visit it again Tricia and Bill Noble Edmonton Canada

My wife and I enjoyed the hospitality and warmth of Cristiano and his staff for a week in May of this year and we were so comfortable we did not want to leave. Staying at la Fornace was like visiting relatives. There can be no better location than this Band B to visit the other wonderful cultural centers of Tuscany. The daily breakfasts of sumptuous local fare under the caring eye of Cristiano was an enchanted way to start each day and the patio in front of our quarters was a welcome resting spot at the end of the day to sip vino gazing upon the lovely village of San Gimmignano where we dined each evening.Our special thanks to Cristiano and Ambra for helping to make our Tuscan holiday such a memorable time in our lives. Grazie and arriverdeci!

We stayed here for 1 week and had the most wonderful holiday. Cristiano and Ambra were so welcoming, it was like coming to visit great friends. The quiet B&B is a perfect retreat from busy San Gimignano, just a few KM away, tucked into the beautiful hillside. Breakfast was great, fresh fruit, cheese, meats, cakes and the most wonderful hand crafted cappuccinos with smiley faces, how can you not wake up and smile. Its an easy 30 min walk to the town, and a perfect place to visit all the sights and cities that are in the Tuscan area. We had an amazing time and we recommend this place to anyone. Pool and table tennis for kids, relaxing and quiet for everyone else. Thank you Cristiano and Ambra xxx

The hospitality availed by the entire staff of La Fornace di Racciano was the warmth of staying with life long friends. From the "artistry" of the morning cappuccinos to local recommendations. It was a wonderful & relaxing visit. We will be back.

Four of us spent two nights at this lovely rustic Bed and Breakfast and the only regret we had, was not staying longer. After visiting some of Italy's biggest tourist attractions, La Fornace di Racciano was a welcomed and well deserved break for us. It sits on a hill with a beautiful view of the countryside and the ancient city of San Gimignano. The staff is friendly and helpful and the breakfast is just perfect. Freshly baked cakes and tarts, along with the delicious cheese and breads, were a delicious way to start the day. And,Critiano Boldrini makes the best cappuccino we have ever had. We highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast and hope to return one day.

3 of us stayed in a triple room. Was an amazing setting, very scenic and the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. Need a car to get to easily otherwise can be very hard but that was Europcars fault not the accommodation. Can't wait to go back again next summer. Steve McAdam

Chi non era in Toscana, l'Italia davvero non si può pretendere di conoscere. Non solo perché ci sono la maggior parte dei beni Patrimoni Culturali Mondiale dell'UNESCO del paese, ma anche per il bellissimo paesaggio. S. Gimignanon è ancora un "optional". La Fornace di Racciano posizionato sul fronte collina sud di S. Gimignano offre una magnifica vista sulle torri della città medioevale. Come fotografo, sto viaggiando il mondo e posso dire che questa città e i suoi dintorni sono tra i più belli paesaggi dei miei viaggi. Di conseguenza, la sistemazione nella Fornace di Racciano nella tipica architettura in muratura regionale ofre un ottima soggiorno. Camere pulite e spaziose, colazione eccellente e un personale molto cordiale e cortese. Speriamo di tornare presto! Altamente consigliato! Albert Gruber

Kintzler, Roenicke on recent results
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke says he's waiting for a right-hander to step up in the eighth inning. Despite a tough outing Wednesday, and conceding his signature sinker has not been as consistently sharp as a season ago, Brandon Kintzler believes he's done enough to earn the job.
"I don't know, he never throws me in there," Kintzler said. "I threw well all of July, I never got a hold situation the whole time. I felt like I've done my job whatever they've asked me to do."
During the second half of last season, after the Brewers traded Francisco Rodriguez to Baltimore, Kintzler was an effective set-up man for then-closer Jim Henderson. But both Henderson and Kintzler dealt with early-season shoulder injuries in 2014, prompting Roenicke to re-order bullpen roles.
Kintzler, who has been off the disabled list since April 24, has appeared in every inning from the fifth to the ninth and has eight holds with a 3.76 ERA in 42 appearances. Last season, he had 26 holds with a 2.69 ERA in a career-high 71 appearances.
"He was really consistent last year," manager Ron Roenicke said. "It's a lot — it's confidence. His stuff seems to be fine. He's fine. It's the confidence that it gives you to relax and let your body work by and hit spots, and he's not doing that. If you look at just velocity and things like that, it's fine. He'll throw some good breaking balls, but consistently he doesn't, and he's not getting the sinker down and in like he usually does. We always talk about confidence in this game. When it's not there and it's not there really well, you're a little bit short."
Roenicke also said, "He's not throwing the same. He knows it. Until we find somebody that can get that spot done as a right-hander, we've had the two lefties [Will Smith and Zach Duke] that have done it most of the year, until recently.
"We need to get somebody going. We know that [Kintzler] has done the job really well. It's like, who else do you try? I still think he's got it in him, it's just he's got to believe that, he's got to show it, and then get that confidence and get on a roll."
Kintzler argues he was on a roll, pointing to a run from July 8 to this week in which he was not charged with an earned run and retired 13 consecutive batters in one stretch, but pitched only seven times. Kintzler said he was a "wake-up call" when Roenicke summoned him to the manager's office for a chat on July 11 to stress the importance of Kintzler reverting to 2013 form, and felt good when he struck out Allen Craig that night to preserve a 6-6 tie in the seventh inning, starting a stretch of five appearances in which Kintzler allowed only one hit — a Denard Span single in Washington D.C.
The scoreless streak ended Wednesday when the Giants hit three singles and saddled Kintzler with two earned runs in a Brewers loss.
"I still feel good about what I'm doing," Kintzler said. "If I gave up missiles everywhere [Wednesday], that's one thing, but two broken bat hits and then a home run [off another reliever, Tom Gorzelanny]."
Asked whether his shoulder is 100 percent healthy, Kintzler said, "I'd like to think so. I've had my fair share where I don't feel good. We warm up a lot, and sometimes we don't pitch."

FAIRHOPE, Alabama -- With the city's blessing the Single Tax Corporation is moving ahead with plans to extend Boothe Road north to Bishop Road in order add another north-south corridor and to alleviate school traffic congestion.
The City Council voted unanimously to allow the engineering firm Preble-Rish, which is working with Single Tax, to begin the bid process for the Troyer-Boothe Road Project.
"The Single Tax Corporation has made a commitment to do this project," said Single Tax Corp. President Michael Arnold. "We've been working on it for the last 2 years, actively. ... We have made a commitment to fund the project at 100 percent. Whatever it takes to get it done properly and correctly."
The estimated cost of the new road, which runs parallel to U.S. 98/Greeno Road north of Fairhope High and Middle school is between $587,000 to $634,000 depending on whether a 4-inch or 6-inch thick pervious concrete sidewalk is built.
Joe Bullock, vice president of Preble-Rish, said the project has been in the works for a few years with the environment and surrounding neighborhoods in mind.
"The reason for that is to make the best effort possible to build a road that the city of Fairhope could be proud of," he said. "To do that we spent an extensive amount of time inventorying the trees. Getting an arborist to come out and do an assessment of all the trees. If you're not familiar but I'm sure you all are, but the right of way where that roadway will be located had a high concentration of large live oak trees. And our objective was to put that road through with minimal impact to those trees, and that I believe we've accomplished."
Bullock told council members that since the headwaters of Cowpen Creek drain southward from the property the project was designed to not impact upstream or downstream property owners.
One sticking point with the project was to rename all affected roads along the north-south corridor -- Boothe, Troyer, Bishop and Founders -- to solely Founders Road.
At the start of the council meeting Fairhope resident Cynthia Boothe brought up the issue of the road renaming. She told the council about her father, H.B. Boothe, for whom Boothe Road was named. He was born in Fairhope in 1912. Having lived there his entire life, he was on the founding board of Thomas Hospital and served as secretary until his death.
"Founders Road has only been there for a few years," she said, "and Daddy bought that property back in the early 40s when he and my mother got married. So it's been named Boothe Road for a really long time and I just hope that y'all consider that before you decide on changing the name."
Arnold brought up the naming issue before the council voted on the measure. He also talked about some of the history of the roads, such as Bishop's Slaughterhouse on Bishop Road, and doing fishtails with his car on Boothe Road when it was dirt in his high school days.
"The only question about the name and it was not to pick on anybody's family or to change the name from Boothe Road but it had to do with 911 addressing," Arnold said.
Council President Jack Burrell suggested that the resolution be amended to take the road naming out so that could be worked out at a later date, and everyone agreed.
The Single Tax Corporation owns about 4,400 acres in Fairhope, which is about 20 percent of the city. Those who use property on single tax land sign a 99-year lease and makes payments to Single Tax, which was established in 1894 based on the economic philosophy of Henry George. Lessees also pay an administration fee and a "demonstration fee," which is used for community improvements.

The actress Gemma Arterton ("Quantum of Solace," "Prince of Persia") has joined the cast of Monty Python alum Terry Jones's "Absolutely Anything," while the in-demand Benedict Cumberbatch is in talks for the lead role.
It was reported in January that Jones's fellow Pythons John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, and Michael Palin – along with Robin Williams – had agreed to lend their voices to the computer-generated live-action sci-fi farce, which will go into production next year. Given that Jones is directing it, the movie is the closest to a Python project since 1983's "Monty Python's The Meaning of Life," which he also helmed. "It's not a Monty Python picture," Jones told Variety, "but it certainly has that sensibility."
Cleese, Gilliam, Jones, and Palin voiced characters in the current release "A Liar's Autobiography," the multi-styled animated 3D memoir of Graham Chapman, the Python who died in 1989. Their colleague Eric Idle did not participate in that film and isn't involved in "Absolutely Anything." The Daily Mail reported here in 2011 that Idle and Cleese had fallen out and that Idle's relationship with the other Pythons had also deteriorated.
Developed by Jones and "Young Indiana Jones" scribe Gavin Scott over the last twenty years, "Absolutely Anything" was originally announced in 2010. According to The Wrap, "the story revolves around a teacher who discovers he has magical powers and can make things happen with the wave of his hand. He can wipe out classrooms of badly behaving students and bring people back to life. But he experiences mishap after mishap as he tries to learn how to use these powers." The powers are granted to him by extraterrestrials (voiced by the Pythons) agog to see the chaos he creates. Williams plays a talking dog, smarter than any human, called Dennis.
Although any beast from the Python stable is welcome, the voiceover aspect of "A Liar's Autobiography" and "Absolutely Anything" suggests that the five surviving Pythons are averse to doing a Rolling Stones or a Led Zeppelin 2007 by make a fully-fledged comeback in which they show their faces.
Ranging in age from 69 to 73, they are presumably conscious of preserving their classic image as young Oxbridge-educated (the American Gilliam aside) meta-comedy anarchists who subverted the forms of television from within during the 1969-74 run of "Monty Python's Flying Circus." The official Python films they made separately from the show – "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (1974, directed by Jones and Gilliam), "Monty Python's Life of Brian" (1979, directed by Jones), and "The Meaning of Life" – consecrated that image cinematically. Another film could wreck it. They are thus the Greta Garbos of their era, especially the cuddly one with the lisp.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Those catching Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros on its current tour, including Monday's stop in Kalamazoo, will get a taste of the band's new album.
If you goEdward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
with The Giving Tree Band
When: 8 p.m. Monday, June 24
Where: Kalamazoo State Theatre, 404 S. Burdick St.
Cost: $30
Contact: 269-345-6500, www.kazoostate.com
The eclectic Los Angeles, Calif.-based alt-folk band will perform at 8 p.m. Monday at the Kalamazoo State Theatre where it's expected to play at least a few songs from its upcoming album, due out July 23, according to accordion/keys player Nora Kirkpatrick.
Kirkpatrick, who also has a successful acting career appearing on "Greek," "Dorm Life" and the last season of "Office," playing Dwight's girlfriend, said the 10-member group, which added two more musicians for this tour, has slowly sprinkled new material into the set. The band released the single, "Better Days," on June 4.
"It's definitely a crazier album. It's bigger, more wild. The sound structure is less traditional. It's crazy. It's so exciting and such a challenge to play," she said during a phone interview following a sound check on a tour stop in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are the dance-happy brainchild of Alex Ebert. He was the party-loving frontman of the pop group Ima Robot.
He split with his girlfriend and checked into rehab.
Ebert then created the character Edward Sharpe, who he described to Paste magazine as a man "sent down to Earth to kinda heal and save mankind, but he kept getting distracted by girls and falling in love."
Not long after Sharpe descended from the heavens, Ebert met singer Jade Castrinos in Los Angeles and by 2009 they were traveling with a group of musicians as Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
Kirkpatrick, 28, graduated from the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television in 2007. She said she first met Ebert and Castrinos about six years ago. They spent some time together at Burning Man, a week-long festival held in Black Rock Desert in Nevada.
Kirkpatrick was asked to record on the first album.
Edward Sharpe and Co. released "Up From Below" on Community Records in the summer of 2009. They followed it up with "Here," last May. Rolling Stone gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars saying:
"Much of the LP has a post-Altamont, let's-be-mellow-around-the-campfire vibe (see gospel-soul tunes like "That's What's Up") minus that era's sense of spiritual depletion. It's the kind of magical revisionism you can attempt 45 years down the line. And they damn near pull it off."
Kirkpatrick plays accordion, keys and sings with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. She said she started playing accordion about seven or eight years ago.
"I always played piano and organ growing up and at a certain point I wanted to be more mobile," she said.
She tried the accordion and "fell in love with it." Its flexibility -- it crosses genres from bluegrass to Zydeco to traditional Italian music -- merges well with the band.
"We have a lot of folk-ish songs, so for those it's kind of like an air organ. For the folk songs, it works really well in the background," she said.
Kirkpatrick said the band spends about half the year on the road. They each have their own bike on tour and like to explore the regions they visit together. Many of her bandmates pursue many other creative outlets, including some members who are also painters and photographers.
"We're starting to figure out ways we can combine our talents into a culture of some kind or a way to express those things," she said.
Adding that life on the road, "It's a blast. Every day you're learning something from somebody else ... We're constantly feeding off each other."
As an actor, she's often filled comedic roles, such as appearing as Rainn Wilson's love interest on the last season of "Office," while her time with the band is usually fairly serious. The approach is also different.
"Acting is a very personal thing and the initiating of the character all stems from one person. It's a singular journey, of sorts," she said.
"As a band, we're working as a group."
Kirkpatrick said she's lucky to travel the country with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros then return home to pursue exciting acting projects.
"I couldn't envision my life without both," she said.John Liberty can be reached:

Indianapolis -- Gordon Hayward scored 19 points and collected the final rebound, sending little Butler to its biggest victory, a 52-50 win over Michigan State in the Final Four on Saturday night.
The Bulldogs now will play the winner of West Virginia-Duke for the national title on Monday night. In their hometown, no less.
Call it "Hoosiers," the sequel.
The small school, playing just 5.6 miles from its campus, took down another of college basketball's biggest names, forcing the Spartans into a sloppy game and capitalizing on their injuries and foul trouble. The win extended Butler's nation's best winning streak to 25.

This is good stuff! Got a few laughs. Made my day better, thank you. I myself aren't "old" but I am 27 and sometimes I feel "old" to be playing a video game as much as I do. Makes me feel like a little boy watching scrambled porno on the tv and always looking over the shoulder keeping an eye out so you can quick change the channel if mom or dad walks in.
I am level 40 and average 20 kills or more a game, but I was just like everyone starting off. I was shooting at the floor in the air emptying a clip to find out not a single bullet hit the enemy and ADS this and ADS that, hip fire skills that would be absolutely appalling. Just keep at it, it's what everyone did and has to do. And when you get good enough where you can get 10 player elims or more at a time feels great. Cause now I am the "oldie" sitting in my gaming chair with a big ass grin on my face as I run around pegging enimies off just thinking about what obscene words could be possibly coming out of the other players mouths being blaired at their Television. It's times where I wish GoldenEye was headset compatible.

WYOMING, MI – More than 45 employers willing to hire veterans and their spouses will participate in a "Hiring Our Heroes" job fair on Thursday, Jan. 24.
The event, from noon to 3 p.m., will be held at the Grand Valley National Guard Armory, 1200 44th Street SE.
"Companies range from America's biggest employers to small companies from across the region," according to an announcement for the event, which is sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's National Chamber Foundation.
"The event will also include a free employment workshop that features one-on-one mentoring sessions on resume building, resume writing, and interviewing techniques for all job-seeking veterans and service member participants," the announcement said.
"Hiring Our Heroes" has helped more than 14,000 veterans and military spouses find employment since the program began in March 2011, according to its sponsors.
The fair is one of three events being held nationwide on Thursday, enabling "Hiring Our Heroes" to reach its milestone of 400 hiring fairs.
This event is part of Hiring 500,000 Heroes, a national campaign announced by the U.S. Chamber, National Chamber Foundation, and Capital One, to engage the business community in committing to hire 500,000 veterans and military spouses by the end of 2014.
Interested employers and job seekers should register for free at hoh.greatjob.net. Walk-in job seekers are allowed but veterans must provide military identification.

LeAnn Brown is calling for the Guard to "do the right thing" and send Scott to a center for treatment for traumatic brain injury.
Coincidentally, the Associated Press reports that the military will begin using hyperbaric chambers to test whether breathing pure oxygen in pressurized environments will help improve brain function in wounded troops.

Last week I reviewed my heat unit with one of my favorite science experiments. It's fairly easy to complete, and it really helps students understand the concept of insulators and conductors (which almost always gives my students trouble). All you need is a glass cup, plastic cup, and 2 Styrofoam cups (one with a lid and one without a lid), a source of hot water, and thermometers. I only do this activity with one group at a time, because I get a little nervous doing it with a whole group since it does involve hot water. I had each group fill their cup with water and place all four cups in a microwave. After the water has heated up, students should record the initial temperature of the water, and then measure the temperature again after ten and 20 total minutes.
**I do not allow students to remove the cups from the microwave. I'm the only one who can touch anything until I make sure everything is safe.**
I have my students fill out this recording sheet (which is on TpT) as they work to help them organize their information. It's always surprising to see that the class cup has the highest temperature initially, but has the lowest temperature after the 20 minutes. I cannot say how many times I heard, "This is so much fun" or "I love science" when we did this heat experiment. I think those are the times that make my job so awesome!

SHAKER HEIGHTS The city's Landmark Commission recently announced the winners of the 2012 Preservation Awards, established in 1998 to recognize and highlight efforts of property owners who have preserved and improved their homes or buildings in a manner reflecting the community's historic nature.
This year's Honor Award for an architecturally appropriate addition went to the Bauders' residence on Park Drive.
"The homeowners won this award for the sensitive addition of an attached garage, which is tucked underneath an existing patio and complemented by a new retaining wall and landscaping," officials said.
The Bauders' home was built in 1927 and designed by John William Cresswell Corbusier for Salmon Halle, founder of the Halle Bros. department store.
Three Merit Awards for retention of original materials were awarded this year, those being:
The Larson residence on Stanford Road for using slate to replace the original slate roof that was damaged in a storm.
The Nagle residence on Lansmere Road for replacing the original shake-shingle roof with new shake shingles that retain the unique architectural character of their 1925 home.
The Kosich residence on Glencairn Road for rebuilding their brick chimney to match and preserve the original design elements of their 1928 home.
One Special Award for "Preservation Hero, Work in Progress" was given to the Saran Residence on Parkland Drive, "for their heroic effort to undertake a large renovation project on a historic, landmark-quality property designed by architect Monroe Dean," organizers said.
Although much work remains on the 1913 home, the homeowners rescued the property from demolition by purchasing the house. The restoration project includes a complete interior and exterior renovation of the previously abandoned and foreclosed home.
The Landmark Commission is now accepting nominations for the 2013 awards program through April 26, 2013. Exterior projects completed within the last two years are eligible. Nominations can be submitted for any building in Shaker Heights, including homes and apartment buildings, commercial buildings and other structures.
The local awards program is mirrored after one established by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1971, which this year honored St. Luke's Manor in the Buckeye-Shaker neighborhood for one of 22 national excellence awards.
Built in 1927, the 390,000 square-foot complex served the citizens of Cleveland and made major contributions to the city's health care industry.
However, as the neighborhood deteriorated, Saint Luke's was eventually abandoned. It remained empty for 12 years, and was repeatedly vandalized as numerous development attempts stalled.
Finally, building owners Neighborhood Progress, Inc. found a partner in Pennrose Properties, and set out to turn the building into affordable rental housing for seniors and office space for local non-profits. Saint Luke's Manor is now anchoring a 20-acre revitalization effort in the Buckeye-Shaker neighborhood.

Chobani plans to donate 5,000 cups of yogurt it had hoped to send to U.S. athletes at the Winter Games to food banks in New York City and New Jersey. But those looking for a meal are staying clear of the yogurt.
"They look at it and go, 'Eww.' They never ate something like that before. [They] are used to sweet yogurt," Debbie Torres, a kitchen worker at the Food Bank for New York City, told the New York Post.
"I educate them. I tell them to put some granola in the Chobani," she said. "I say, 'Try it.'"
The shipment of Chobani was stopped from going to Sochi after Russian authorities said the U.S. Department of Agriculture failed to provide a necessary certificate under its customs rules.
Instead, the yogurt was donated to Saint John's Soup Kitchen in New Jersey and to the Food Bank For New York City.
Some of those attending the Food Bank are at least willing to try it.
"I used to see it in the store but didn't buy it because I didn't know how it tasted," Mary Peoples, a visitor at the Food Bank, told the Post. "But then I tried it and found out it was really good."
In a statement released by the Food Bank For New York City, President and CEO Margarette Purvis, said:
"Chobani has been an unwavering and generous donor to families in need throughout New York City. Their partnership with Food Bank For New York City has provided our network of soup kitchens and food pantries with more than 180,000 pounds of fresh, nutritious yogurt in the past nine months alone. They allow us to provide vital sources of protein and dairy, which is lacking in the poorest of communities. We have only heard overwhelmingly positive feedback about Chobani's Greek Yogurt from our members and the New Yorkers whom they serve – in fact, we can't even keep it on the shelves. To imply otherwise is both untrue and irresponsible. Food Bank is proud to partner with Chobani, and we thank them for their continued commitment to keeping New Yorkers fed and healthy."

Sir Walter Scott, 1771 - 1832. Novelist and poet About 1844
On Display PAXTON HOUSE
- Scottish Art
Known as 'The Minstrel of the Scottish Border', this full-length portrait shows Sir Walter Scott against a background of moorland, with two lively terriers at his feet. The landscape is that of the area surrounding his beloved Abbotsford home in the Scottish Borders, on the banks of the river Tweed. The peculiar pose and characteristic clothing appear in several other works by Allan, one of which is a quick sketch painted during a visit to Abbotsford in September 1831. The present portrait was painted some ten years after Scott's death, and exhibited first in 1846. Throughout the nineteenth century, Walter Scott's fame and influence were immense, with fellow authors in Europe and beyond classing him with Shakespeare, Cervantes and Chaucer as one of the great universal writers.

Everett latest Tiger to fall ill
They probably mentioned it on the broadcast already, but Ramon Santiago is starting his second straight game at shortstop because Adam Everett is sick. He has the same bug that knocked Gerald Laird out of play Monday, and he was feeling bad enough that Jim Leyland told him to stay home and not come to the ballpark.
There's another motivation in keeping Everett home, of course, and that's to try to contain whatever he has from spreading around the clubhouse. With a 10-day, three-city trip coming up, Leyland is clearly worried about the chance of more players coming down with it, especially when they're all together on the plane tomorrow evening.

Commissioners Stress Importance of Lead Poisoning Awareness
TRENTON – In advance of National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (Oct. 24-30), Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) Commissioner Clifton R. Lacy, M.D. is urging all New Jersey residents to get their children tested for elevated lead blood levels to avoid the irreversible damage caused by lead poisoning.
Today, childhood lead poisoning is considered to be the most preventable environmental health problem of young children, yet an estimated 434,000 U.S. children have elevated blood lead levels, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In New Jersey, an estimated 5,230 children have elevated blood lead levels (at least 10 micrograms per deciliter), which may lead to health and/or developmental problems.
"Every child should be tested for elevated blood lead levels at both one and two years of age," said Dr. Lacy. "A simple blood test can identify children at risk and help avoid neurological problems and disabilities."
The Camden County Department of Health and Human Services (CCDHSS) and the Southern New Jersey Regional Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Coalition will be co-sponsoring lead education activities at the Camden Rivershark's baseball game tonight, September 10, 2004, at Campbell's Field, Camden. Activities will begin at 5:30 p.m., an hour prior to game time.
T-shirts, educational coloring books, literature and information on services available for childhood lead testing will be available at tomorrow night's game. The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) will also be providing their lead "exploratorium," which is an interactive traveling exhibit dedicated to teaching pre-school and early elementary school age children about lead poisoning prevention.
Finley, the Rivershark's mascot, will also be on hand to entertain and guide children through the exhibit. Throughout the game, the stadium will also air a lead-free rap video produced by NJN television network, with support from DHSS, as well as a public service announcement on lead poisoning prevention by Camden County Freeholder Laurelle Cummings. There will also be a fireworks display immediately following the game.
DHSS, the Department of Human Services, Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (DHS/DMAHS), the City of Camden and CAMcare health center (members of the Southern New Jersey Regional Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Coalition) will also be on hand to participate and provide information on their respective lead awareness and testing programs.
"Exposure to lead has been a devastating problem to the children we serve, most of whom live in the state's older cities where lead paint was used extensively," said Human Services Commissioner James Davy. "To battle this, the department has required increased lead screening for children in our programs, targeted some cities, such as Camden, for special efforts, and conducted extensive public awareness campaigns on the dangers of lead. But there is still much to do."
Lead is a highly toxic metal that at one time was an ingredient in many household products, including lead-based paints manufactured before 1978. The primary source of lead exposure among U.S. children is lead-based paint chips and lead-contaminated dust and soil found in and around old, deteriorating buildings.
Studies have found that lead can disrupt the normal growth and development of a child's brain and central nervous system. If this exposure happens at a critical time in brain development, any damage done is permanent. Young children are also more likely to be harmed by exposure to lead because the normal behavior of children - crawling on the floor, playing in dirt, putting objects in their mouths - puts them into immediate contact with any lead that might be present in their environment. That is why it is very important to have children tested at the recommended ages and receive follow up care from their doctor when necessary.
Currently, DHSS maintains a Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Surveillance System, which monitors elevated test results in children. DHS and DHSS have conducted several lead screening improvement pilot projects throughout the State that focused on provider and community awareness of lead poisoning. Additionally, DHSS provided more than $2.6 million in grants to local health departments for lead inspections and case management and allocated more than $400,000 for educational activities to expand lead awareness.
Parents interested in having their child tested should contact their primary care physician. Individuals without a regular source of medical care or health insurance should contact their local health department or nearest community health center. To find the Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) nearest you, call 1-800-328-3838.

Coast to Coast Canned Meat Carving
One might think that I've already fulfilled my Spam Carving blogging quota for the 2010 campaign, and that additional posts on the subject would be gratuitous at best and offensive at worst.
Well, one would be wrong. For I have received a copiously detailed missive from the wilds of Northern California, documenting in painstaking detail the canned-meat sculpting competition that was recently staged by the Modesto Nuts. This momentous event made it clear that Spam Carving can thrive within West Coast ballparks, far removed from its Reading, PA origins.
Nuts' director of marketing and public relations Christa Parr explains that the competition was comprised of five one-person "teams", who had "20 toothpicks, a knife, a fork, salt and pepper packets, and 30 minutes to make their greatest Spam carving epiphany a reality."
This Spam competition, like all others, began with the sound of the preservative-laden product oozing out of its restrictive confines:
And after the 30 minutes of intense artistic concentration were up, here is what had been created.
Team 1: "I'm With the Band"
I call this a "Spamplifier":
Team 2: "The Party House"
Team 3: "The Mystery (Meat) Machine"
It may be unclear from the picture, but the artisan behind this one actually constructed roadside scenery (including trees and a billboard).
Team 4: "Spam Stonehenge"
Parr relayed an anecdote about how an onlooker criticized Spam Stonehenge, noting that it "had been done to death." I'd like to think that I contributed to this perception, having featured a "Stonehenge-looking thing" in a previous Spam carving blog post.
Team 5: "Untitled"
My own title for this is "Lobster God".
I would have voted for "Lobster God" as my favorite, but unfortunately I was not in attendance. As it turned out, The Mystery (Meat) Machine earned top honors, with Party House edging out Spam Stonehenge in a closely-contested race for second.
80% of the competitors, along with 80% of the Spam creations:
That'll do it for this, my latest round of Spam Carving coverage. I've got some excellent, non-Spam content lined up for the next two days, but after that the well is dry. Fill it up!
Canned Meat Artisans Shine Once More
Friday's Will Ferrell post was linked widely en route to penetrating the national consciousness, meaning that a whole new audience impatiently scanned my writing in search of entertaining pictures and videos.
What a thrill.
Things have finally returned to normal, signifying that I can once again pander to my base of regular readers. And if there's one thing I know that base enjoys, it's this:
The above masterpiece (and that's not a word I use lightly) emerged as the winner in the Reading Phillies' third annual Spam Carving Contest. "Screwball's Spamtastic Opportunity House" was sculpted by emerging artisans Angie O'Hara and Emily McGranahan, who took home a $250 prize for their efforts.
The sculpture's title references both the R-Phils primary mascot (Screwball) and the charity that benefited from the Spam carving (Opportunity House). The entry fee was $5 per person, with the top entries displayed on the field later in the evening.
The following pictures dramatically illustrate how exposure to the elements will quickly transform Spam's appealing pink-tinged luster to a distressingly monochrome shade of brown.
The Talent and Their Creations
update: Sue, the mastermind behind the blog "Rants, Raves and Random Thoughts", wrote in to say that the following pic features her and her daughter (center). Read all about it HERE, as part of an excellent blog post that also advocates for DeWayne Wise neck reduction.

Congratulations to all of those skilled in the art of Spam carving, whether they plied their trade on Saturday or in years past. For the record, my all-time favorite Spam sculpture to emanate from Reading is 2009's "Demon Dog".

The Lions' rookies, undrafted free agents and first-year players will be in Allen Park on Friday to get a quick course on how the team conducts business and how Schwartz expects them to conduct themselves.
"We want to indoctrinate them into how we do things here, how we lift, how we meet and take them through all the different things that go into being a Detroit Lion,'' Schwartz said. "When they come back in the middle of May, when they step into the locker room with the Calvin Johnsons and Kyle Vanden Boschs, they'll already know how we do things and it'll be easier for their transition.
"It's better than throwing them to the wolves. It gives them a two- or three-week head start on the scheme so when we throw them in there, they can show a little bit better.''
Eventually, though, there will be a measure of intimidation when the rookies finally hit the field with the veterans.
"There will still be that adjustment, but they won't be meeting their position coach for the first time or wondering where the cafeteria is,'' Schwartz said. "We'll get that stuff out of the way and let them concentrate on football.''
While the Lions have a good idea of what they'll see with first-round picks Ndamukong Suh, a defensive tackle out of Nebraska, and Jahvid Best, a running back out of California, they're more curious about the lower-round picks.
Jason Fox, a tackle from Miami, was taken in the fourth round, and North Carolina State defensive end Willie Young and Weber State return specialist Tim Toone were seventh-round picks.
Fox might not see any action on the field this weekend because he's coming off minor knee surgery. He said after the draft he feels very close to 100 percent and wants to participate, but the Lions likely will err on the side of a caution and limit his activity.
"Jason Fox is exactly what we're looking for in an offensive tackle,'' Schwartz said. "He's a four-year starter, he's really big and really smart. On the offensive line, if you're big and smart and productive and played a long time, you'll be successful in the NFL.
"He had a knee surgery that should put him behind, but he should be fine once we get to training camp. All the guys we drafted, there was something about them we liked.
"For Willie Young, it's his pass rush, he's a long, tall guy. He was dominant at times in college, but he still has some development to do it. If he hits, he hits as a guy who can rush the passer.''
The Lions also are interested in what they'll see from third-round pick Amari Spievey, a cornerback from Iowa.
When asked about his biggest concern going into training camp, Schwartz's answer was fairly predictable.
"Probably still the secondary,'' he said. "We've added a lot of pieces, but we need to get that settled. The only (starting) spot that is pretty much written in ink is (safety) Louis Delmas. That's a group that needs to play as a group. The biggest thing is probably fitting that all together.''

Oregon State Police arrested two California residents Tuesday night after allegedly finding cocaine valued at more than $500,000 in their vehicle during a traffic stop along Interstate 5 near Central Point.
Shortly before 10:25 p.m., an OSP trooper stopped a speeding Chrysler Sebring sedan with California tags that was heading northbound on the highway near milepost 32.
A search uncovered about 10 kilos (or approximately 23 pounds) of cocaine concealed inside the vehicle's passenger compartment, said Lieutenant Gregg Hastings, an OSP spokesperson. The seized cocaine is valued at over $500,000.
The car's driver Vincent Michael Mendez, 22, of Spring Valley, California, and passenger Alyssa Panziera, 21, of Salinas, California, were arrested and held in lieu of $40,000 bail in the Jackson County Jail for unlawful possession and delivery of a controlled substance - cocaine.

The latest information to emerge about the South Dakota mountain lion killed by an
automobile in Milford, Conn., in June really doesn't help to answer questions
about whether the animal passed through Pennsylvania on its eastward journey of

The New York Department of Environmental Conservation has
confirmed that the mountain lion was seen in Lake George, N.Y., last December.

ESPN humor columnist Bill Simmons builds a case why Joe Dumars should not be in the NBA Hall of Fame.
September 13, ESPN.com: Here's Dumars' rsum: six All-Star Games, one Finals MVP, one second-team All-NBA selection, four first-team All-Defense selections. He was never a franchise player, much less a defining one. In fact, in certain pivotal playoff games (Game 5 of the 1990 Finals, for instance), Dumars sat in crunch time. Most damning of all is databasebasketball.com's Hall of Fame monitor. The statistical engine assigns each player a score, with anything over 135 denoting Hall of Fame worthiness. Kareem scores the highest, with 833. Jordan scores 731; Barkley, 315; Wilkins, 142. Dumars? He gets a 105, trailing 33 retired players who haven't made the cut.
Again, I like Joe D. But Paul Westphal made three All-NBA first teams and five All-Star teams. He scores 143 on the HOF monitor. Dantley averaged 30-plus for four straight seasons. Artis Gilmore was the best center in ABA history. JoJo White won two rings, made seven straight All-Star teams and won a Finals MVP. Bernard King was the most explosive scoring forward of his era and still found time to star in Fast Break. None of those guys is in the Hall. Joe D wasn't better than any of them.
Here's where it gets nutty. Sidney Moncrief won two Defensive Player of the Year awards, made an All-NBA first team and four second teams, played in five straight All-Star games, owns statistics nearly identical to Dumars' and could have been a legend if his knees hadn't betrayed him. Dennis Johnson won a Finals MVP and three rings, played in eight conference finals, made All-NBA first and second teams and six All-Defensive first teams in addition to being one of the memorable clutch players of his era. There's no possible way, under any criteria, that anyone can prove Dumars was a better guard than either DJ or Moncrief. More likely, he was the worst of the three. But Moncrief and DJ have been rejected by the Hall. Repeatedly.

Friday's lineups: Tigers at Rangers
Rick Porcello gets to start on turn against a Rangers club that has hit him for a .383 average and .964 OPS in five career starts, not counting his relief appearance in the ALCS a couple years ago. That said, much of the damage came in that disastrous outing last April, when Texas got him for nine runs, eight earned, on 10 hits in an inning plus at Comerica Park. He actually beat the Rangers a couple months later with six innings of one-run ball in Arlington.
Ramon Santiago gets the start at second, giving Omar Infante a day off.
On the Rangers side, Ian Kinsler is out with bruised ribs. Leury Garcia starts in his place.
- Andy Dirks, LF
- Torii Hunter, RF
- Miguel Cabrera, 3B
- Prince Fielder, 1B
- Victor Martinez, DH
- Alex Avila, C
- Jhonny Peralta, SS
- Don Kelly, CF
- Ramon Santiago, 2B
P: Rick Porcello
- Elvis Andrus, SS (2-for-14 vs. Porcello)
- Leury Garcia, 2B
- Lance Berkman, DH
- Adrian Beltre, 3B (5-for-18, 2 K's vs. Porcello)
- Nelson Cruz, RF (4-for-18, 6 K's vs. Porcello)
- Mitch Moreland, 1B (3-for-6, K vs. Porcello)
- Geovany Soto, C (3-for-5, HR vs. Porcello)
- David Murphy, LF (9-for-15, HR, walk, K vs. Porcello)
- Leonys Martin, CF (0-for-2 vs. Porcello)

What is Rick Knapp doing lately?
He joined the Los Angeles Dodgers organization for the 2013 season as their assistant minor league pitching coordinator.
Jones has been great for all the pitchers but one who won a Cy Young with him
Well quick easy outs are about all Fielder and Hunter have been good for lately.
I hope Tigers hitters are watching closely on what it is to work a count…..Texas hitters are working it. ..instead of these quick easy outs that seem to be our MO
Well they made him throw more pitches but just hit slow rollers in the infield.
Boy are the fouling off Ricks pitches…….
Another great decision by Brookens…… People in Tigerfandom wanted Geno sent out of ton for far fewer being thrown at home. Yes it was a pretty nice throw, but the ball want hit deep and its his job o know the arms of the out fielders. And it isn't us a run.
That's the ball wasn't hit deep
How is Don doing defensively??
He's only had to go after 1 tonight…..it was a gapper for a triple but was part of a relay that nearly got the runner out at 3rd…..and I mean very close! Very close
We've seen this before. No run support when Rick is pitching well. How long can he last against these Texas hitters?
Well they got a few there and that's cool …I feel like there shoulda been more.
Pokemon starting at Toledo
Pokemon? Is that Plutoneums new name?
He is far better now
Didn't we agree on Cool Hand Luke??? Easier to spell?? Oh, he did quite well again. Does this make him our trade chip??
No match-ups today . In game at least
I'm not sure if it has already been noted on this blog, but BB was optioned to Scranton on the 14th by NY.
Yesterday played vs MudHens
He started his Triple A action in Toledo!!!
Here we go!
My head hurts.
Dance PAPA.
Save number 4!
Good job by the pitching I can't say the same for the hitters with the exception of Miguel and Andy, everyone else needs to learn how to hit again.
Good win! Real good win.
The goal is to split with these guys, If you'd told me this afternoon that Rick would handle the Texas guys easier than JV did the night before, Id call you a liar. Or as WAPO does it, I would have given you 4 Pinochio's (SP). This game sure is funny. One would swear that Porcello would last two innings at best. I'm really happy for him, as he has pitched well in his last five starts. Big victory. Kudos to Rick and Miggy, along with the"Mooner", Andy Dirks. Some good thing about tonight; I have listed my three.
1. The 9 pitch AB that lead to the Sac Fly for Alex. That should give him 50 bonus points for his average.
2. The solid DP in the 8th. to keep the lead. That was the play of the game.
3. Grinding through those AB's again tonight. Their guy lasted five. Because of this we walked more than we struck out. Great stat.
Need a big night tomorrow from Anabel. If we could take this one, it would give us a chance to win the series. But first things first. Enjoy this win. Good night all.
Well' the Tigers managed to stay tied with the Tribe for 1st. I'm starting to think the Indians may be for real. They swing it and their pitching is coming around.
We have reached the forty game mark and more than a few things about this Tiger team would have Sparky smiling down upon us. Our Tigers lead MLB in runs scored, batting average, on base %, and OPS. Not bad at all. Compare that to last season when we were probably between 10th and 20th after forty in all these stats. He might even be a little envious of the Skipper based on what the starting rotation ( 20-10) has done the first forty. Very, very solid. This infield has performed at a high level so far this season with all four deserving of getting many votes to play in the All-Star game. Let's hope that Miguel can at least get a start!!! Those two outfielders have done a great job at the top of the lineup, too. Hey, the third OF helped out at the top of the order with the recent injury situation. Our defense is vastly improved over last year. Our catchers and bench has given us a lift with a few game winning rbis. 23-17 and tied for first in our division. Yes, we will take that. Move forward. And try to get better. We play in a very competitive division. Last year I was very honest and blunt about it. Our division was very weak. Forty games this year and it is obvious that four teams in our division are feeling better about themselves. This could be the ultimate dogfight. Go Tigers!!!!!!
Cool Hand Luke or Pokemon is now back to starter. With Crosby on DL, he is first option to spot start. Alvarez and Hill are not in the 40 roster
Meanwhile, Below called up by the marlins
The Tigers will need to improve upon their 5-6 record in the Central and a 4-6 mark in one-run games. Subtract the games with Houston and the overall W-L is 17-16. They took care of business against the Astros but need to win more elsewhere going forward. That's my 40 game take on things. There have been a number of good individual performances.
The woefully poorly managed Miami franchise put Evan Reed on waivers, and he comes to Detroit and is on the big club. Odd stuff.
Speaking of Miami, rumors continue to float about Stanton on MLBTR. I thought the Seattle deal might fly a while back. He looks like he is made of granite, but seems to be as fragile as glass.
Cleveland plays with a lot of confidence in their ballpark. Probably best to have that be a two games series at this point in the season.
Fielder , May:222/.382/.389/.771 10 BB/11 SO
Tonight's lineup: Dirks 7, Hunter 9, Cabrera 5, Fielder 3, Martinez DH, Avila 2, Peralta 6, Infante 4, Garcia 8. Sanchez is pitching.
The former Tigers on parade, Rhymes and Kobernus vs the MudHens today
And Jair is throwing for the Orioles today.
I go all of the Tiger signatures or free because I am related to Justin:)
hi losers

Wedding Style
How To Throw a Tasteful (Not Tacky) Halloween Wedding
Continued (page 2 of 2)
Even if the d�cor is leaning toward the macabre, it doesn't mean the food has to (so just table that idea of serving punch from a bubbling cauldron). It's okay to keep the fare seasonal and festive—fall's rich, spicy flavors automatically lend themselves to a sumptuous Halloween-time wedding. During the cocktail hour, serve passed butternut squash soup shooters. "For dinner, serve foods that incorporate the warm, hearty flavors of autumn, like pumpkin, apples, pecans, walnuts, cinnamon and nutmeg," says Amanda. Dessert would be apple cinnamon flamb� with calvados and butter pecan ice cream, as well as slices of wedding cake—a four-tiered confection covered with dark chocolate fondant and decorated with black magic roses. [Ed. Note: This Day of the Dead shadowbox would make an appropriate cake topper.]
"After dinner, guests would head to the dance floor while a full orchestra wearing Venetian masks and all-black tuxedos plays—possibly with a live rendition of 'Monster Mash' later in the evening!" [Ed. Note: Or Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Or Zevon's "Werewolves of London." Obviously, "Purple People Eater" would be overkill (and out of place).]

Hey Pilot faithful... just wanted to remind you all that UP's game at San Diego tomorrow is at 6 PM instead of the usual 7 PM and that the game will be shown live on Comcast SportsNet Ch. 37 here in Portland.
Also, the Pilots square off against the San Francisco Dons on Monday at 7 PM, which will also be televised live on Comcast SportsNet.
Both games should be interesting since the Pilots battled both teams to the last second at the Chiles Center before losing in heartbreaking fashion. UP had the lead in the final minute in both games, but a buzzer-beater three pointer by San Diego's Brandon Johnson and late free throws by San Francisco's Manny Quezada proved to be the difference.
I'll try to post a real preview soon, but until then... let the smooth words of UP Sports Information Director Jason Brough sooth you.
