Today felt like a summer day in San Diego. It' s about 80 degrees outside, but with a bit of a breeze. The air is so clear and clean, it's just a beautiful day. A day like this got me thinking about summer, as baseball is coming up.
I love summer, but I hate the heat. I mean, summer is all about heat, but I don't like it boiling hot, just warm. In fact, I would rather freeze than boil to death. But anyways, though I don't like summer because of the heat, I do love summertime. I love the smell of barbeques, eating hamburgers that aren't like the ones at a fast food place but so much better. I love it being light later, like when the sun goes down around 7:30 pm. What I love about San Diego weather is that no matter how hot it is during the day, it will always cool down at night. Today is 80 degrees, but it's going to be very cold tonight. If I go outside, I'm going to need a jacket. I love that about San Diego.
But the best thing about summer is baseball. To me, the perfect summer evening is eating grilled hamburgers and sweet watermelon or fresh strawberries, settling down as the day cools off, and listening to some Padres baseball on the radio. Just relaxing and listening to the voices of Jerry Coleman, Ted Leitner, and Andy Masur, as they call all the action from Petco Park. That's what my summer evenings have been like for the last two years. I remember a long time ago, way before I became a Padres fan, my parents would have the game on during summer evenings. That will always be a part of some of my earliest memories of summer. It's a wonderful season, it really is.
Our summer last year was pretty mild. We got the worst of it in September, I think. It really wasn't that hot. Though I don't like the heat, summer = baseball. You have got to love that.
Now, I guess I should mention football. I threw around the old pigskin with a bunch of friends earlier. We were out in the 80 degree heat, but it was lot of fun. Usually I'm not one to play with the football, since I'm still on my football hate thing right now, but today I gave in and it was really fun. I hate big, hard balls, though. We were actually throwing around three different balls, and my favorite was the tiny one that was slightly deflating. Anyways, on one throw to me the biggest, hardest ball came up and hit me pretty badly in the finger. It is not broken, but it hurts. I am not quite sure why I mentioned that, maybe because it has something to do with sports and it's bugging me right now.
I guess I should also mention something about the Super Bowl. I will not be watching it, but I will be keeping track of the score. I think I am going for the Cardinals. I just kind of decided that this morning. I think Pittsburgh will win, but they knocked off the Chargers, plus all my friends are going for Arizona. I know, bad way to choose your team, but it makes sense. So, go Cardinals!
Oh yeah, in Mark's latest J-Blog School, he said that contractions should be spelled out. While that's a great tip for journalism, I don't think I can handle eliminating them on my blog. Contractions make my blog more personal and casual, and that's what I want my blog to be. So, if it starts bugging anyone, I apologize in advance. I don't want my blog to be perfect and stiff. I want it to be personal. I want it to sound like I'm a human and not a robot. When I get into a professional writing career, that tip will be most helpful. Thanks, Mark!

San Diego is so beautiful. I don't wanna leave here! It DID felt like summer. Even though I stayed inside. Gosh, I love the weather! Oh baseball, when are you coming? I can't wait any longer!
I watched the last part of the Super Bowl. So I guess I'm learning more about football! Just a little. But football can't beat baseball🙂http://hyunyoung.mlblogs.com
Now I feel completely lazy since I didn't leave my apartment all day. That's how into football I am. And I had to finish cleaning. I'm kinda sad I missed the beautiful weather. I hope it's like that tomorrow when I have to go to class! I'll always have a soft spot for Andy Masur. Before coming to the Padres, he was the play-by-play guy for the men's basketball team at my undergrad university, Loyola Chicago. He's a REALLY nice guy.
Sounds beautiful Kaybee! I did watch the game – I do love football also – but I am so ready for baseball to begin! The equipment truck leave this week for Florida so Spring must be coming!
Yeah, I agree-barbecues and radio baseball are the best parts of summer! You're so lucky it's warm there…and I just hate when the sun sets really early like at 4 or 5!!!!
Wow…you painted a great picture. In Wisconsin, I have to close my eyes to see that. Everything is still piled up and white here!
I share your sentiments exactly on what summer is all about. Ice down that finger!
The weather's been really nice up here in Santa Barbara, too. (How lucky are we to be in CA!) And it really does make you want to throw burgers on the grill and settle in to watch baseball. Soon. Very soon.
OMG…I so want to move to San Diego. Delaware totally sucks! It is FREZZING here!
I like the winter but some times I just want the summer really badly. Go Steelers!
We all long for summer don't we. I make my way to California every summer (Palo Alto, which is REALLY far😦 ) but I LOVE how it is warm in the day and cool as night, exactly as you described it. I go to baseball games on the weekends as well, and I don't think anywhere has more perfect days than California!
I hope your finger is okay!!
HYUN YOUNG, baseball will always be the best🙂
JEN, I think today was just as beautiful, so hopefully you got to enjoy it. Andy Masur is a really fun announcer. I enjoy listening to him on the broadcast.
JULIA, spring is in the air…
XCICIX, I hate it when that happens too! It's kind of depressing!
HAPPY, it might take a bit longer for you guys, but spring will come!
JANE, it's so true. I actually smelled a grill going when I took a walk today. Ahhhh…
JENN, yes, you do want to move here! Come join us in the 80 degree weather in the middle of winter!
BOB, I love the winter, but I just wish we could have baseball all the time🙂
ELIZABETH, this California weather is so perfect. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Thanks, I think my finger is doing a little better🙂
Come to New York and try having to shovel all the time. Then tell me you'd rather freeze.
P.S. Don't ever say Kooz again. That Jerry Koosman.😛

- Biodegradation of sequentially surface treated lignocellulose reinforced polylactic acid composites: carbon dioxide evolution and morphology
- Author(s)
- Way, Cameron; Dean, Katherine; Wu, Dong Yang; Palombo, Enzo
- Abstract
- Maple fibres were treated with a variety of sequential treatments, namely sodium hydroxide (NaOH), NaOH followed by acetylation, or NaOH followed by silanation. These fibres were incorporated into a polylactic acid (PLA) composite and the biodegradation effects were investigated. After 124 days, all composites had exceeded 90% biodegradation with most close to 100%. The PLA composite with the NaOH-treated fibres had the quickest onset of degradation (4.9 days) and highest peak rate of degradation (1.77% biodegradation/day) of all composites studied. Neat PLA had a similarly high peak rate of degradation at 1.85% biodegradation/day, but had a later onset of 11 days. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis showed the earlier onset of degradation of the composites was caused by increased hydrolysis during composite fabrication as well as composting. GPC showed the formation of up to three molecular weight bands in the PLA during composting which were hypothesised to be occurring by surface hydrolysis, bulk hydrolysis and hydrolysis at the fibre interface. Analysing the remaining composite revealed the NaOH treatment not only caused an increased rate of degradation in the PLA through increase fibre porosity, but also caused an increased rate of degradation in the fibre from the lack of surface waxes and hemicellulose. Similar, yet slower, behaviours were also seen in the NaOH followed by acetylation and NaOH followed by silane treated composites with all composites degrading more rapidly than the neat PLA and neat maple fibre samples.

District Judge Joel Johnson presided.
Juan Rosales Carrillo, 47, of Three Rivers, was indicted on two counts of aggravated assault, threat against a public servant with a deadly weapon and two counts of aggravated assault, threat with deadly weapon against a family member.
Three Rivers Police Department Officer Ray Medrano said he first got a call at 10:37 p.m. April 3, 2010, about an intoxicated man beating up his ex-wife and her friend with a firearm.
"I arrived at the scene shortly after," Medrano said. But Carrillo was not at the address in the 500 block of Thornton.
By then, Medrano said he was joined by Sheriff's Deputy Joey Rodriguez and a Department of Public Safety trooper.
They went to check out Carrillo's home just out of the city limits in the 6000 block of U.S. Highway 281 North.
"Law enforcement arrived about 11:20 p.m. at the house, and Carrillo was spotted at his front door," Medrano said.
Carrillo was asked to come out and speak to the officers. Instead, he fired a round, Medrano said.
After that, it was a standoff that lasted all night.
At 7:50 a.m. April 4, Carrillo was spotted walking out of the house.
"That's when the deputies made contact with him," Medrano said.
Other indictments handed down by the grand jury are as follows:
Jennifer Nicole Pena, 29, of Three Rivers, one count of possession of a controlled substance-cocaine and one count of tampering with physical evidence.
Abraham Carvajal, 19, of Pharr, possession of marijuana, 5 to 50 pounds.
Adrian Lee Chapa, 20, of George West, one count of assault, family violence, strangulation; one count of assault, continuous family violence; and one count of endangering a child.
Guillermo Ybanez Garcia, 21, of George West, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Gilberto Guererro, 22, of Pharr, possession of marijuana, 5 to 50 pounds.
Eugene Paul Cruz, 44, of Sandia, bail jumping and failure to appear.
Stella Elaine Donovan, 36, of Three Rivers, manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance PG1 – 4 grams to 200 grams.
Clark Keller Green, out-of-state resident, two counts of taking wildlife resources without the consent of landowner (two deer).
Wesley Lamech McGuire, 35, of Corpus Christi, theft of a firearm.
Carlos Sanchez Mejia, 23, of Beeville, evading arrest and detention with vehicle.
John Andrew Saenz, 23, of Beeville, evading arrest and detention with a vehicle.
Jordan Leigh Secrest, 30, of Three Rivers, one count of assault-continuing family violence and one count of assault-family violence-strangulation.
Lee Roy Vela, 35, of Rio Grande City, possession of marijuana, 50 to 2,000 pounds.

Wainwright1st to 10 wins,Cards tip Mets
NEW YORK Adam Wainwright became the major leagues first 10-game winner by pitching seven scoreless innings and sent Matt Harvey to his first loss of the season, leading the St. Louis Cardinals over the New York Mets 2-1 Thursday in a classic pitching matchup.
Wainwright (10-3) retired his first 11 batters before David Wrights single, and allowed four hits with six strikeouts and two walks. Wainwright matched his career best by winning his fifth straight start, dropped his ERA to 2.18 and got his 1,000th career strikeout when Wright was called out on a first-inning curveball.
Known best in New York for freezing Carlos Beltran with a called third strike to end Game 7 of the 2006 NL championship series, Wainwright had been 0-4 with an 8.46 ERA in four starts against the Mets since beating them on April 18, 2010.
Trevor Rosenthal pitched the eighth, and Edward Mujica allowed a long home run to Marlon Byrd with one out in the ninth. John Buck then doubled and took third as Kirk Nieuwenhuis grounded to second baseman Matt Carpenter, who made a diving backhand stop as he fell and threw to first for the out.
Josh Satin, who had his first big league at-bat of the season a night earlier, fouled off two full-count pitches and then swung over a splitter as Mujica remained perfect in 19 save chances.
Harvey (5-1) had been unbeaten in 14 starts since Sept. 12 and he pitched well enough to win, giving up one run and five hits in seven innings with seven strikeouts and a walk.
St. Louis scored its only run off him in the third, when Pete Kozma hit a one-out, opposite-field single to right for the first hit of the game and Carpenter tripled past Byrd, who tried for a sprawling catch in right but allowed the ball to bounce past him.
New Yorks bullpen gave up a run in the eighth, when Carpenter and Beltran singled off Scott Rice, and Matt Holliday and Allen Craig singled against LaTroy Hawkins. Craigs RBI was his 49th of the season.
Craig made a diving stop at first base in the bottom half to rob Omar Quintanilla of a hit, just before Wright singled for his third hit.
Harvey, who lowered his ERA to 2.04, had no-decisions in eight of previous nine starts, and the Mets have scored just 18 runs while hes been in the game during his last 10 outings, according to STATS. He opened impressively, striking out Beltran for the second out of the game with three 97 mph fastballs. He shook off a second-inning comebacker by Yadier Molina that struck him on the left foot.
His next scheduled start is Tuesdays day-night doubleheader, when right-hander Zack Wheeler is to make his major league debut for the Mets. The highly touted Wheeler was making his last minor league outing for Triple-A Las Vegas against Tacoma later Thursday.
Under dark skies and with heavy rain forecast, an announced crowd of 25,471 that seemed much smaller watched the Mets lose for the eighth time in 10 games following a five-game winning streak. The Cardinals took two of three in the series and improved the big leagues best record to 43-23.
Wainwright was perfect before Wright dumped a 2-2 curveball into center field for a single, a pitch after first base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt gave the Mets captain the call on a checked swing Wainwright had started to walk off the mound, anticipating strike three.
Daniel Murphy took four straight balls, just Wainwrights eighth walk of the season, and Lucas Duda flied out to John Jay a step in front of the fence in right-center. Jay also made a nice grab to catch a wind-blown drive by Jordany Valdespin leading off the sixth.
Byrd singled with one out in the seventh and advanced on Bucks grounder to give the Mets a runner past first for just the second time. Nieuwenhuis, in an 0-for-19 slide, was intentionally walked to bring up Harveys spot in the batting order, and pinch-hitter Justin Turner grounded out on a slow roller to third baseman Daniel Descalso.
Kozma, who had three hits, doubled with one out in the fifth when he popped the ball into short center. Nieuwenhuis sprinted in and tried for a sliding catch, but cut short his slide when Valdespin ran out from second and peeled off late just in front of him. Harvey then induced consecutive groundouts.
NOTES: The Mets started the same lineup and batting order from Nos. 1-8 in three straight games for the first time since April 23-26, 2011, STATS said.
Nats 5, Rockies 4
DENVER Ryan Zimmerman homered, doubled and drove in three runs, Ian Desmond got four hits and the Washington Nationals beat the depleted Colorado Rockies 5-4 on Thursday.
The Rockies lost four players and a coach, as well as the rubber match of the three-game series.
Outfielders Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler were injured early and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki left for an undisclosed reason in the eighth. Reliever Wilton Lopez and pitching coach Jim Wright were ejected in the seventh.
Craig Stammen (4-2) threw two scoreless innings. Rafael Soriano got his 17th save after giving up an RBI single to pinch-hitter Todd Helton with two outs.
Zimmermans RBI double off reliever Matt Belisle (4-3) in the eighth broke a tie, and he later scored on Desmonds infield single to make it 5-3.
Tulowitzki was replaced by a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the eighth, straining an already short Rockies bench.
Gonzalez was hit near the ankle by a foul ball while on deck in the first inning and exited with a bruised left foot. The Rockies said X-rays were negative and listed the All-Star left fielder as day to day.
Fowler was hit on the right hand by a pitch from Ross Detwiler after squaring to bunt in the third. A team trainer looked at Fowler, and the center fielder stayed in for another inning.
Detwiler was activated from the 15-day DL and made his first start since May 15. He lasted five innings, giving up three runs on six hits and striking out two.
He was in line for the loss until the seventh, when things got heated between the umpiring crew and the Rockies. Desmond led off with a single and stole second. With two outs, Lopez was called for two balks, scoring Desmond to tie it at 3.
Lopez shouted at first base umpire and crew chief John Hirschbeck as he left the field after the inning ended and was ejected. Wright was also tossed.
The Rockies were in control before the then. Tyler Colvin, who replaced Gonzalez, had an RBI single in the first and Michael Cuddyer drove in a run with a double in the fourth and later scored on a groundout to give the Rockies a 3-2 lead.
Zimmerman had given the Nationals a 2-1 lead with a two-run homer in the third, his seventh of the season, the only blemish in an otherwise strong start for Jeff Francis.
Francis entered Thursday with a tenuous hold on his spot in the Rockies rotation. He had a shaky start against San Diego on Saturday in his first outing since coming off the 15-day DL because of a groin strain. He needed 93 pitches to get through four innings against the Padres, and with veteran Roy Oswalt pitching well in the minors, Francis role with the Rockies was in question.
Francis made his case with a solid outing against the Nationals. He allowed two runs on five hits and struck out eight, his most since May 24, 2008.
Cubs 6, Reds 5
CHICAGO Pinch-hitter Julio Borbon had a two-out RBI single in the 14th inning, helping the Chicago Cubs beat the Reds 6-5 Thursday and end Cincinnatis record 12-game winning streak at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs hadnt beaten the Reds at Wrigley since last August 9. With the win, the Cubs avoided a four-game sweep and improved to 3-10 against the Reds this season.
Hector Rondon (1-0) pitched two of the Chicago bullpens eight scoreless innings. Jonathan Broxton (2-2) was the loser in the longest game for both teams this season.
Starlin Castro led off the 14th with a single off Broxton, stole second when Anthony Rizzo struck out and got to third on Alfonso Sorianos groundout to first. Nate Schierholtz was intentionally walked before borbons hit.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md. Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series.

How is Kenny Williams Feeling These Days?

Yea Bobby is not a set up man he is a closer and that is why he is doing worse in Boston. They need to make a trade for a closer, well I hope he does because I picked the White Sox not only to win the Central, but also to win the American League and go to this years Fall Classic against my Phils.
He's smiling knowing that as bad as Matt Thornton has been, Bobby Jenks is doing worse in Boston.

Dining at a single restaurant on five different occassions in the span of two months has got to be some sort of record for me. While this type of behavior is generally considered quite normal, it's really very notable in my world because food blogging tends to discourage restaurant monogamy—there's always something newer, more exciting, or tastier just around the corner.
Hà Tiên Quán in San Gabriel has reeled in my promiscuous dining ways with its tremendous Vietnamese cooking. The restaurant's lineup of regional noodle soups never fails to warm and satisfy, while the vegetarian fare packs a wallop of flavor.
With nearly every Vietnamese restaurant in town serving up the usual pho, vermicelli rice noodles, and and banh mi, it's been a breath of fresh air diving head first into Hà Tiên's anything-but-predictable menu. Best of all, I'm constantly tasting new dishes that I didn't grow up with or encounter while living in Vietnam. This place is my edible playground.
The family behind the restaurant is comprised of Larry Ta, his wife Thu Trang, and their daughter Carolyn. Thu heads up the kitchen, while Carolyn and Larry greet, seat, and tend to customers. Both Larry and Thu are from Ha Tien, a city on the western end of the Mekong Delta near the Cambodian border. Hà Tiên Quán opened its doors last October.

Healthy Origins Ubiquinol (also called Kaneka QH) is the active "antioxidant" form of CoQ10, responsible for the powerful preventative benefits associated with CoQ10. Normally, the conversion process from CoQ10 to Ubiquinol occurs naturally in the body. Supplementing with Ubiquinol is important for individuals who may have difficulty with the natural conversion of CoQ10 to Ubiquinol. Ubiquinol supplementation is very important to:
- Those suffering from specific conditions, especially related to oxidative stress
- Adults over 40 years of age
For other adults, Healthy Origins CoQ10 remains a beneficial supplement for your health and wellness program.
Suggested Use

I have 2 bad heart valves and have been taking CoQ10 for about 15 years with some relief from tachycardia, palpitations and shortness of breath. Since starting Ubiquinol 50 mg 60 days ago, I've had only one very short, mild episode of palpitations. I used to have them several times a week, very debilitating. I've recommended this product to all my friends.
I have been taking one capsule per day for the past 2 years. My BP is very normal and feels energized with ubiquinol. This is the best COQ10 you can get in the market. I do not get the same result from other Q10 products. If you are middle aged, I strongly recommend you to take ubiquinol, not ubiquinone which has to be converted to uniquinol for absorption and older people are not able to convert it 100%. So, it is not as effective and waste your money. I wasted a lot of money on other Q10 brands and finally found this product that works for me, my family, and friends. There is a great deal of knowledge involved in supplementing with Q10. So, do your research first before buying anything.
Good product

In our view, the time has come for the valuation profession to explore creating a robust professional infrastructure for those that perform valuations.
Currently, there is no single professional framework governing the valuation profession in terms of conduct, education, credentialing, and performance.
A professional framework for those performing valuations for financial reporting purposes would provide the valuation profession with a unified identity. This would reduce expectation gaps between the profession and management, auditors, standard setters, and regulators. Having a professional valuation framework will also help inspire confidence in the quality and consistency of the work performed.
The profession has a chance to set its own course for the future by agreeing on the building blocks of a robust infrastructure, and making quality its primary objective.

Review: True 'Zoo' has big heart
Film is animal house for whole family
The amazing true story of journalist Benjamin Mee gets the big-screen treatment with Matt Damon as the guy whose life is changed when he buys a broken down zoo, rescuing animals and his family during the process.
After seeing the feel-good "We Bought A Zoo" you'll want to pack up the car and take a family road trip to California to visit the inspirational Rosemoor Animal Park. But you'll have to buy a plane ticket to find the real deal; filmmaker Cameron Crowe has taken some liberties since Mee's park is actually in the English countryside.
It makes no difference, because the story is universal across the pond or around the corner.
In 2006, Benjamin Mee, a British newspaper columnist, moved his family from their peaceful existence in the south of France to the shuttered Dartmoor Zoo in Devon. Benjamin's family consisted of his wife Katherine, his mother, his brother Duncan, and his two small children, Ella and Milo. A few months after he bought the zoo, his wife died at the age of 40.
For the movie version, Damon's Mee is a Los Angeles columnist who quits his newspaper job before they can lay him off. He's already a widower, struggling with two children, his 13-year-old son Dylan (Colin Ford), who draws macabre pictures and incessantly broods, and his precocious 7-year-old daughter Rosie (scene stealer Maggie Elizabeth Jones), who loves everything about her daddy, especially the fact that he's not bald.
Ready for a life change, he decides to buy a different house than the one that holds so many memories of his wife, and ends up miles outside of L.A. on an 18-acre property and home to a zoo. Of course, it goes without saying that it's not all paradise. Soon after moving in, he learns that the place is a money pit, he has to manage a staff of a quirky zoo workers, a pesky inspector (John Michael Higgins) is waiting in the wings to close the place down, and that Dylan hasn't given up his passion for severed head portraits despite being pursued by the zookeeper's perky niece Lily (Elle Fanning).
But there is the down-to-earth, no-nonsense zookeeper Kelly Foster (Scarlett Johansson), plus comic relief from the zoo's visionary architect (Scottish actor Angus MacFadyen) with a target on the inspector's head. There's also Benjamin's so-called voice of reason, his brother Duncan (the always comically effective Thomas Haden Church).
Filmmaker Crowe has a real love for the film, and it shows through in just about every shot. He finds a way to bring Johansson and Damon together; the two actors are so low key it could've been a deadly pairing, but it works here, plus the script keeps Ben and Kelly on task rather than turning their flirtation up to full throttle. Their affection remains under the surface enough to make things interesting.
It's hard to knock a movie that has lions, tigers, bears and cute kids, plus a heart warming story that's a great pick me up any time of year, but especially during the over commercialized holiday season.
"We Bought A Zoo" can be sentimental and sappy, but it's easily forgivable because it has such a big heart. So, will buying a broken down zoo fix every family's problems? Probably not, but a family outing to see "We Bought a Zoo" is sure worth the trip.

Tattoo artists can play an important role in breast reconstruction. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), tattoo artists can achieve better results than surgeons when it comes to creating the nipple and areola.
According to ASPS surgeons at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston, the three-dimensional tattoos created by tattoo artists have given women better results.
Tattoos of the nipples and areola have been used as part of breast reconstruction for a while, but previously the tattoos were typically given by a surgeon.
Doctors now realize that tattoo artists can achieve better, more realistic results for women, according to ASPS.

Offering overpronation support and excellent runability, the Asics GT 2170 offers moderate cushioning and a semi-soft ride.
Asics brings you another classic with the GT 2170. Like its predecessor, this shoe maintains a smooth ride, excellent pronation control, and enough underfoot cushion to keep feet happy for a marathon or more. It has a universal yet individualized fit that hugs the foot in all the right places, making this shoe a true crowd-pleaser.
Model Number:
Weight: 9.9 oz (size 8)
Stack Height: Heel (30mm), Forefoot (19mm)
Available Widths: B=Medium
How It Fits (based on width B)
The 2170 is a moderate featured, moderate support shoe designed for daily training and high mileage.
Comments: I have run in these, and these must not be the Asics for me. They are stiff, uncomfortable and I can hear my feet slap as I run, too. I am disappointed with these 2170's.
From: Anonymous
Comments: I have run in the Asics 2000 series for 3 years. I have road and trail shoes and I have always loved them. I took the 2170's out for a 4.5 mile run this morning. They felt stiff and flat and I could hear my feet slapping the pavement as I ran. By mile 3 my feet actually hurt. I don't know what the difference is but I will be returning them.
From: Lori, Connecticut
Comments: I bought these earlier this winter, I love them! I use these on long run days and I feel like I could go forever! I usually get some fatigue along my shins but these shoes give me enough support and motion control so that my legs feel good. I'm sticking with 2170s!

She joined composer Richard Rodgers as EGOT-winners and was thus the first woman to win all four. Hayes won two Oscars, Best Actress for 1931's "The Sin of Madelon Claudet" and Best Supporting Actress for 1970's "Airport." She won two Tonys, for her performances in the plays "Happy Birthday" in 1947 and in "Time Remembered" in 1958, and an Emmy in 1953 for Best Actress for the anthology series "Schlitz Playhouse of Stars."

I was amazed to be nominated for the Kreativ Blogger award as I struggle daily to garner the new vocabulary and skills of a blogger. However, I want to send my heartfelt thanks to two wonderful people nominated me for this award, Renate of Into the Light and Hummer of Branching Out Through The Years . I am so appreciative of the thought, even though it has taken me a couple of weeks to figure out how to accept the award. Old dogs and new tricks sort of thing. I also wanted to thank Linda at FlipSide, as this award gave me the opportunity to widen my scope and to be welcomed into this community of bloggers.
According to Linda, the winner of the award has to list seven things about themselves and then pass the award along to seven other bloggers.
1. I am a storyteller, writer, and then genealogist. Genealogy comes because I need it for the stories.
2. I love puzzles of all kinds, in fact I sometimes get down right compulsive about puzzles- most especially of the genealogy type.
3. Road trips and writing about the people I meet along the way are my favorite kind of vacation.
4. My big black German Shepard, Colldubh, goes in & out with me & is ever at my side.
5. Even though I live in the mountains and have few visitors, I have a really great Christmas light display.
6. I whine and snivel about my lack of computer know-how. Sometimes, my son lets me get away with this assumed disability, but it is more difficult now that he lives several hundred miles away. Also due to my son's and granddaughter's help over the Thanksgiving holiday, I am able, only somewhat able, to navigate these blogger waters.
7. I have a son and two daughters, all of whom are very bright, interesting, passionate and compassionate; two granddaughters and two grandsons who have the same attributes as their parents and I absolutely dote upon all of them.
I hope that I am not making a huge faux pas, but my month long stint as a blogger in your community really does not give me enough background to know much about the myriad of wonderful blog sites. However, daily I am finding new and interesting sites, writing, stories, and pictures – and for that I am thankful.

RELA_intro card_Preppy_v01b1 of 19
Chuck Bass2 of 19
By Natasha Burton
With this sly and mysterious Gossip Girl hunk strutting around in a well-tailored suit, prep school never looked so good. XOXO, indeed.
Nacho Figueras3 of 19
Of course Mr. Bass isn't the only man who can pull off the preppy look effortlessly. Ladies, drink in this sexy polo player and Polo Ralph Lauren model and just try not to wish you could stomp his divots. (Wink!)
Ralph Lauren4 of 19
We can't ignore the man responsible for creating a look we love so much. Thank you, Mr. Lauren, on behalf of women everywhere, for allowing men to achieve the supreme quotient of hotness. And good for you for looking so darn cute in that paisley ascot.
Hunky Model #15 of 19
Preppy men, like this Lacoste model, aren't afraid of color. We wouldn't mind hopping on the yacht and sailing over to Hyannis to summer with this fine gent. (As every preppy knows, "summer" is a verb, after all.)
Hunky Model #26 of 19
What we love most about a man who can rock this style is how effortless, yet sublimely gallant, he seems. In case you didn't know, we must divulge that there are many perks to having a preppy boyfriend or husband, the most important of which is that you get to borrow his sweaters, essentially doubling your wardrobe.
Hunky Model #37 of 19
And this more dressed up look isn't so hard on the eyes either. We envision walking on this man's arm en route to a lovely dinner in Provincetown, Cape Cod. (And we can't help but imagine how we'd pair that oversize blazer with some dressy shorts and heels when we get back to the city. ...)
Tommy Hilfiger8 of 19
Slippers on the red carpet are a definite "do" in the preppy world. And we certainly wouldn't mind popping over to Nantucket to hang with the Hilfigers — along with some of this designer's male models in tow, of course.
Tom Ford9 of 19
Another designer who embraces the prep, albeit in a more Upper East Side than Nantucket way, is this bow-tie-rocking gentleman. Seriously, what is it about a guy in a well-tailored suit that gets us all hot and bothered? Men should be required to wear them at all times.
Patrick Robinson10 of 19
Here's another one of our favorite designers sporting this classic look on the red carpet. We'd gladly be the accessory (read: arm candy) to Patrick's super sleek and sexy style any time.
Joshua Jackson11 of 19
It's not just fashion gurus who are giving those good 'ol ascots some action. We much prefer this debonair style to the laid-back, chest-hair-showing look of some celeb men. (Looking at you, Rob Pattinson. We love you. We love your chest hair. We'd just rather see it in private.)
Kyle McLaughlin12 of 19
We can't look at this actor without thinking about his Sex and the City character, Trey. Seriously, does a name get any preppier than that? Wait, don't answer that just yet — Biff, Chip and Tad totally one-up Trey.
Roger Federer13 of 19
He may not be winning any trophies for his style, but if life was a U.S. Open, we would happily bestow Roger a silver gilt cup for his Edgartown-appropriate look. And then we'd request to sit court-side at his next match, so we could ogle him properly.
Carlton Banks14 of 19
It's hard to believe that, not so long ago, the preppy look was portrayed as more silly than sexy on the hit TV show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. (And, instead of swooning over him, the ladies full-on ran away from poor Carlton and his sweater-over-the-shoulders style.)
Prince William15 of 19
Oh, how we love a man in uniform. If anyone can pull off all white — before and after Labor Day — it's this Brit.
Prince Harry16 of 19
The younger prince is quite the looker as well. We sure wouldn't mind hopping on the back of his horse and letting him ride off with us into the sunset. (Though, that would probably put quite a damper on the polo match.)
President Obama17 of 19
But it's not just British royalty rocking this classic style — our very own President Obama looked quite dapper during his jaunt off to Martha's Vineyard this summer. (And Michelle looked gorgeous, too, as usual.)
Jay Gatsby18 of 19
A gallery of hot preppy men just wouldn't be complete without this famed novel character, portrayed by Robert Redford in the movie adaptation of The Great Gatsby. A mustard-colored tie never looked more dashing.
F. Scott Fitzgerald19 of 19
Of course, we can't forget the man who gave us a glimpse of upper-crust prep culture in his famous book. It appears that Mr. Fitzgerald was quite the proper gent himself with that tailored suit of his. And now if you'll excuse us, we've got a party to attend in East Egg. ...

Playing an increasingly important role in documenting water quality in the region is a device with an unusual name. Multi-probe datasondes (sondes) are high-tech monitoring devices placed in regional waterways, which will substantially enhance data gathered in the two-decade Scenic Rivers Monitoring Program (SRMP) detailed in last week's issue of The River Reporter.
The SRMP represents a long-standing partnership between the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) and the National Park Service (NPS). Use of the specialized sondes brings a third partner, the United States Geological Survey (USGS), into the equation. The USGS/NPS Water Quality Partnership Project co-locates the monitors, data platforms and satellite transmitters with existing USGS gages.
While nine datasondes are already in place, four new continuous water-quality monitors will be installed at three Delaware River sites (Lordville, NY; Barryville, NY; Montague, NJ) and one Lackawaxen River site (Rowland, PA), to perform real-time monitoring of key water quality parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance, temperature and turbidity.
This will enable the NPS to better document diurnal and seasonal fluctuations in water quality, improve the definitions of existing water quality (EWQ) upon which current Special Protection Waters (SPW) standards are based, establish long-term monitoring to assess "measureable change," provide data and a water-quality record capable of documenting changes that may be attributable to specific activities, reduce the cost of data collection through the utilization of advanced technologies and form collaborative partnerships to improve monitoring capabilities.
NPS national resource specialist Don Hamilton said the sondes will reveal more than the data obtained from bi-weekly grab samples that are limited by seasonal access. The study will also aid in the development of regulatory standards for tributaries and provide a tool for the DRBC to act upon decisions that impact water quality.
Development of the Marcellus Shale in the Delaware River Basin is a key motivator for the monitoring, as specified in the proposal for the four units to be installed in spring 2012:
"The Delaware River Basin is at the intersection of the Marcellus Shale formation, the largest (65,000 square miles) and most actively developing natural gas field in the U.S., and the Delaware River, the longest reach of Special Protection Waters (197 miles) in the country. As this development moves rapidly into the basin (36% underlain by Marcellus Shale), it brings an industrial activity with a host of potential environmental consequences.
"Effects may include surface and groundwater contamination related to drilling and disposal of drilling fluids, air quality degradation, soil contamination, compaction, and increased erosion and sedimentation due to large-scale development and changes in land use, which may result in additional water quality impacts."
The agencies are hoping for improved assessment of core water-quality parameters, a better understanding of existing water quality and ecosystem health, a greater ability to detect incidents that impair water quality and natural resources and an improved capacity to implement timely responses and management actions that will resolve issues or threats.
The multi-probe datasondes are sensitive enough to detect subtle changes on a frequency that will allow baseline conditions, and any deviations from them, to be documented throughout the year, according to the NPS.
"We are anticipating industrial resource development on a scale that this basin hasn't seen before, with spacing units for well pads as small as every 80 acres," the grant indicates. "Large scale, widespread changes in land use and land cover, as is expected with the construction of well pads, service roads, and pipeline infrastructure associated with natural gas development, can be expected to lead to an increase in impervious surfaces in the watershed, increased runoff, erosion and sedimentation.
"There is always the more immediate threat of spills and releases into the environment of produced water, fracking fluids and brines associated with this development, and their contamination of surface and groundwater, impacting water quality and natural resources."
Ultimately, the project will provide the data for better definitions of existing water quality, better resolution of trends in water quality and more timely documentation of events that result in degraded water quality and habitat. This may, in turn, enable management actions that halt or influence the termination of harmful practices.

The multi-probe datasondes device is installed in waterways and protected within this tubular shield.
