Weather damage apparently took the first one down last year. Guess they took their sweet ass time taking the rest down.
Weather damage apparently took the first one down last year. Guess they took their sweet ass time taking the rest down.
I was there for the opener this year (a rarity for me). Aside from missing two FULL innings, crawling on the highway & driving around from lot to lot looking for one that was open to park my car ..... the ballpark looked great! The blue walls add some MUCH needed color. The Party City Porch in left makes that whole side of the field more intimate & "Shea-ish". I'd love to see the next change be the seat colors, but I'm sure that's not on the Mets management's radar. Swapping out the 'Boring Drab Green' seat color for Mets colors would help make the place stand out more from all the other retro parks with these same dark green seats. Last, I agree that stopping the blue walls from pole to pole looks a bit awkward. Guess that was the Mets Brass giving the fans exactly what they wanted, but JUST to the 'letter of the law', so to speak. I believe the black pads are also new, so it's NOT like they cut a corner & didn't make them blue to save a few bucks by NOT replacing them....? I don't understand why, unless it was their way of telling Mets fans 'we tossed you a bone' with the blue OF walls, but we still want some black pads to remain everywhere else.
Why not make the job look right & make ALL the padded walls blue, totally from end to end? I just don't get it?
Great job (as always) Gary on the Opening Day pics. I was SO pissed that we got to our seats as late as we did that I never even took MY camera out of its bag! Thanks for the photo of me & my son FINALLY in our seats, Sir!!
Note: The glove .... my ORIGINAL (1st) glove from my Little League days - (Spalding Joe Torre model, circa 1975-ish) resting on the seat in front of me. Obviously, a leftie was batting when you took this photo ... thus why I am not wearing it at that moment!

I went to the game this afternoon. Here's the bullpen from overlooking the new wall in right-center field.
The new Mo's Zone in right field.
The Mets have the best, smartest fans in baseball.
Looks like catching a ball in the new Mo Zone seating is out of the question.
Also, with the new space available in the bullpen due to the new wall, could it be possible to reposition the bullpens so that they are now straight as opposed to being diagonal?

I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.

That is something that should've been planned when they redesigned the walls. Right off the bat the seating area on the opposing team's side could've been in that gap area. And with the extra space from the new wall, it looks like there's enough room to have made the bullpens straight north/south instead of that awkward diagonal position. There was plenty of time to have done this so the fact that they did not tells me they don't plan on it.
I know this goes against the grain here, but I liked the old Great Wall of Flushing - it was a really classic element that stood Citi Field apart and made it instantly recognized on television. Great job by the architects, now ruined by Alderson's Folly out there in left - that platform mess with all the "party" signage. Very San Diego. Blech. My eyes, they burn!
Cleon Jones catches a deep fly ball in F. Scott Fitzgerald's Valley of the Ashes, and a second-grader smiles in front of the black and white television.
Wow, looks like someone actually gave it some thought. Very nice.
Captain Kirk gives us our first good look at the ball-delivery mechanism in the Mo's Zone. It looked pretty smooth, gives fans a great chance to get right under the ball.
Hi all! I'm not sure if this should go in this thread or the one about the tickets and concessions. If it's in the wrong thread, then I apologize. I just have a question about getting to Citi Field on Wednesday, by LIRR.
If I buy a one way LIRR ticket from Huntington or Brentwood to Jamaica, does that allow me to transfer to Woodside, or can I only transfer with a round trip ticket? I plan on buying a one way ticket because after the game I may be able to take the 7 right to Woodside for the 5:58 train to Huntington, without going to Jamaica. The other times I've rode the LIRR to Citi Field, I ended up riding the train back to 42nd St, then walked to Penn Station, because I was unsure how to get home from Woodside. So much time was wasted doing that.
Also, once I get to Jamaica, I get a train to Port Washington, correct?
Thanks for your help!
"Well, the place I love best is a sweet memory. It's a new path that we trod" R.I.P. Shea
No! Keep the Apple!
Now build a shorter wall in front of the real wall!
Now paint the wall electric blue!
Now let's put some color on those drab seats!
Who says you need years of training – and talent – to design a ballpark?

YoYogurt slated to open with full-service Dazbog Coffee bar on Tuesday
April 4, 2013
WINDSOR — The business name is different, but the type of menu and location will be the same.
YoYogurt, a yogurt store that will also include a full-service coffee bar, will move into the same space as Coolberry Frozen Yogurt & Coffee, 1180 Main St. in Windsor, and will open Tuesday. Coolberry, which started its business in Windsor in April 2011, moved into the old Loodles Coffee Books & Art at the time.
YoYogurt's owners bought the assets of the three Coolberry stores in Windsor, Fort Collins and Loveland, and the three new locations will add to the other four stores they run in Colorado Springs.
YoYogurt is a Colorado family-owned company that launched in April 2011 by the Grzecka siblings — Liz Johnson, 34; Amanda Ralston, 27; and Nic Grzecka, 33. The siblings, born and raised in Colorado Springs, became familiar with the northern Colorado area when Amanda went to school at Colorado State University.
Grzecka said the Coolberry owners approached them about selling their stores.
"They wanted out," Grzecka said. "My younger sister went to school up here, and it's an extension of our home. They contacted us, and we thought it was a good opportunity. We like the area. It's still a small-town feel. Our whole company is very community driven, doing fundraisers."
All locations will offer YoYogurt's premium self-serve frozen yogurt, YoCupcakes and Dazbog Coffee, a local Colorado roaster. The YoYogurt café in Windsor is the only one of the seven stores that will include the full-service coffee bar.
"It will look like a Dazbog and it'll be their coffee," Grzecka said. "We'll proudly be brewing their menu. We'll have Dazbog cups, their menu, all their stuff. You'll feel like you're in one. We wanted to bring in a brand instead of just brewing a random coffee, and Dazbog is a Colorado-brand coffee as well, locally owned and roasted here in Colorado."
Grzecka said he plans to bring in acoustic music on the patio or inside on certain nights to Windsor.
"Ours is an urban, ice-cream parlor kind of feel," Grzecka said. "The whole coffee side is going to be like a café style. It's not going to be the same bright colors that the yogurt shop has."
Grzecka said YoYogurt uses yogurt recipes with a variety of toppings including the fruits, marshmallow cream and popular brand-name candy.
"We have an exclusive product that we brought into the whole state," Grzecka said. "It's exclusive to northern Colorado, and nobody else carries it. It's a creamier yogurt. Everybody raves that this is the best yogurt."
Grzecka said Andrew Bowles will be managing the three stores in northern Colorado, and the Windsor store will have five to seven employees.

First I'll give you a little background. I am 34 and have 6 kids ages 16, 13,
11, 5, 3, and 1. I have breastfed all of my children past a year (the longest was almost 4 years!) and NEVER had a problem with my supply. This is my last child as I had my tubes tied during my c-section and I am NOT ready to give up nursing yet. I'm not sure why I have had such a hard time with my supply this time around. My only theories are the tubal (although I've never heard of that having a negative effect on milk supply) or the fact that I have had problems with cysts on my ovaries since my ds was born. I don't know if you can develop PCOS this late in life, but I have had multiple, painful cysts for a couple of months now and I have heard that PCOS can have an effect on supply. And it was when these cysts devoloped that my supply started to drop. Anyway, I had been taking more milk plus and goat's rue to keep my supply up, but then had to go a day without nursing because I had a CT scan w/ contrast done and they told me I had to wait a day to nurse. After that I haven't felt a let down at all and my breasts have shrunk to nothing. Ds hates formula (all kinds) and cows milk, plus the cows milk gives him diarrhea. The only things he's taking right now are juice, baby food, and some solids. I can get him to take a mixture of formula and cows milk, but only when he's tired. I never wanted him to be on formula in the first place and want more than anything to get back to nursing. Does anyone have any ideas as to why my supply is so low, and how to get it back? He'll still nurse when he's half asleep, but gets mad at the lack of milk if he's up and alert. I just started pumping 2 days ago (Medela pump and style) but I've never been able to get more than a few drops when pumping..even with a good supply so will it even do any good? Any other suggestions? The thought of not being able to nurse any more has me in tears all the time Please help!
p.s. Sorry if this post is a bit disorganized

So far, so good!
By Big Sid
from St. Paul, MN
These things are great! Well worth the price. You can rely on them to do their job on ice & packed snow. Although if there's much snow accumulation, the cleats can't grab and don't help much. But I definitely recommend them. Didn'tdfind them overly slippery on dry pavement, but cleats take a little wear then....especially if you're heavier like me (6ft-3in 300lb male).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

any shoe ice gripps
By Buddy's Mom

We live on a boat so icy docks are what we deal with and this makes life easier as we walk the dog 4 times per day.
Fantastic! I love them!
By 65 and still working
from Mistissini, Quebec
I live in northern Quebec and woke up this morning to a layer of ice over snow. It was treacherously slippery and I heard of a number of people who fell. I put on my ice grips and although I was still cautious, I felt quite secure and managed to get where I was going without a fall or even a slip.
Great product!
By BarbC
from Fort St. John, BC, Canada
We get lots of snow and then of course the ice comes. I will not be afraid to walk with these cleats on my feet. Looking forward to walking everywhere this winter and spring.
Nice Grips!

Hand Sanitizers
Sort By:
Hand sanitizers are always a great way to promote your business while giving recipients a tool to protect their health. Especially when the weather begins to cool and cold and flu season begins, antibacterial lotions are a great means of protecting employees and clients from aggressive viruses. After all, when traditional hand washing is not an option, antibacterial hand sanitizers are considered an effective alternative to killing germs. And with the proper blend of ingredients, alcohol-free formulas can be just as effective as formulas with high alcohol concentrations. Additionally, when you give these to a student, teacher, client or employee, you provide them with a weapon in the prevention of illness. And when you're done with your current promotion, keep a few extras on hand for any sudden outburst of illness and you'll be prepared to stop germs in their tracks.

2. Create a bedtime ritual - try to stick to the same bedtime preparation each night. If you are able to take time getting ready for bed, your body will naturally wind down & will recognise that you are preparing to sleep.
3. Reduce screen time before bed - every website I looked at said to avoid technology in bed and not to have a television in the bedroom.
I will often be on my laptop reading or working until late at night & then read my iPad in bed even after I've turned out my light!
4. Create the right sleeping environment - a good comfortable bed and not too much clutter - see below for some more tips on this.
5. Pay attention to your caffeine intake - we all know people who can drink coffee late at night and still go straight to sleep - my own husband is one of them - but the recommendation is not to drink coffee after 8pm latest. If you like a hot drink late at night, choose hot milk or camomile tea.
6. Temperature - both room temperature & body temperature. Your bedroom should not be too hot, the cooler the better. You also shouldn't have a hot bath right before bed as body needs to be at a particular (cooler) temperature to sleep soundly, a warm bath is best.
7. Keep your bedroom dark - I read lots of suggestions about light dimmers and different lighting settings in order to make your brain aware that sleep is approaching. Blackout curtains/blinds or a sleep mask are also a good idea in order to keep your body clock regular.
8. Switch Off - literally. Don't watch TV or work online up until you go to sleep....take sufficient time to wind down. Find an activity which helps you to relax before bedtime.
9. Good pillows - an essential as far as I am concerned & the biggest reason for not sleeping well!! If I go away & I can take my own pillow, then I do. That said, I do not have good pillows right now & it's driving me crazy. Pillows should be firm but not too firm and your head & neck should be roughly in a straight line.
10. Exercise promotes quality sleep & Only sleep when you're tired - there is nothing worse than going to bed early and then lying awake for hours. Exercise will help ensure that your body is physically tired and therefore ready for sleep. Do make sure that you don't exercise right before sleeping, have enough time to wind down.
I also recently bought a mattress protector which provides an extra quilted layer underneath my sheets for comfort.

Season Finale MLK DAY
Game Preview:
The Knicks will enter play on Monday just one game behind the Miami Heat for the East lead. They have won two straight but are just 5-5 over their last 10 games
Carmelo Anthony has scored at least 20 points in 25 straight games, the longest such streak of his career. Anthony has developed into an MVP candidate while lifting New York to possible championship contender status.
"I've been on some good teams, had good players on some of the teams that I've played with," Anthony said. "But as far as being a complete team from top to bottom, this is the best team I've been a part of."
Anthony has averaged 37.0 points in helping New York (25-13) go 2-1 against Brooklyn this season.
Knicks got a key player back in Thursday's 102-87 victory over Detroit in London. Iman Shumpert made his season debut and had eight points after being out due to a torn ACL.
"We all know what he brings to the game," Anthony said. "So it was just a matter of him just testing it out and seeing what he was able to do and we know he was excited, we were excited."
Key players
Iman Shumpert
Shumpert's hustle, perimeter defense, energy will be key to our victory tonight.
Amare Stoudemire
Following 17 points in 20 minutes after a 3 day rest expect another 15+ point game for Amare. His timing is definitely coming back. STAT said that he feels like he did before his knee injury. Good news.
The Nets (24-16) are two games behind the first-place Knicks in the Atlantic, and are eager for this high-profile contest.
Brooklyn is 11-2 under new interim coach Pj Carlesimo.
The Nets got the win 94-89 over Atlanta on Friday behind Deron Williams 24 points and Reggie Evans 20 rebounds.
Brooklyn guard Joe Johnson said. "They beat us the last two times and we owe them."
Johnson has fared poorly against the Knicks this season, averaging 13.7 points and 37.5 percent shooting.
Key Players
Jerry Stackhouse LOL
"It's a great honor to play on this day"Jerry Stackhouse said.
"We're fortunate to play in a city where one of the pioneers of sportsplayed in Jackie Robinson. And now we get to honor a guy who kind of transcended the world in his belief in equality and things like that."
Game Prediction
Game day a$$
Oh yeah and i almost forgot.
Heres a video from our man smokes!
Expect more rebs from Amare.
PG: Deron Williams vs. Jason Kidd
SG: Joe Johnson vs. Iman Shumpert
SF: Gerald Wallace vs. Carmelo Anthony
PF: Reggie Evans vs. Chris Copeland
C: Brook Lopez vs. Tyson Chandler
Out: Marcus Camby (foot), Raymond Felton (broken finger), Rasheed Wallace (foot)
Shump showing no fear going to the rim, good sign.
What an awesome starting lineup!
2 bombs for Kidd.
Chandla was looking too mean i guess
Can we have a single game without getting a technical foul? People call the Knicks mentally soft and weak, I disagree but it's hard to argue with.
Make a f... def rebs Knicks!
Another BS T on Tyson...

Flaming Gorge developer's properties in foreclosure
- published_in
- Today's News
A home at 1436 W. Oak St. in Fort Collins, listed as the address for Wyco Power and Water, the entity behind the Flaming Gorge project, has a outstanding principal balance of $553,814 owed to Verus Bank of Commerce.
The property, the owner of which is listed as Million Agricultural Investments, went into foreclosure on Feb. 8 and is scheduled for sale on June 6.
Million said the ownership behind the property is a partnership between him and his parents. He said his parents have had financial issues that contributed to the foreclosure.
Another property, located at 3172 Stargazer Court, has an outstanding balance of $1.2 million, also owed to Verus Bank. The property, home to Million and his ex-wife and children, entered into foreclosure on March 14 and is scheduled for sale on Oct. 31.
Million said he planned to get both properties out of foreclosure.
"We're getting ready to pay the bank off on both," he said. "These are completely separate from any of our other assets. It's a family matter. We're going to get the bank paid off and be done with it."
Million is the developer behind the Regional Watershed Supply Project, a highly controversial 500-mile water pipeline which would siphon water from the Flaming Gorge Reservoir and the Green River in Wyoming and use it for municipal and agricultural purposes along the Front Range.
The project is currently being reviewed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and is a point of contention in both Colorado and Wyoming.

WBGO Sweeps Radio Category at NYABJ Awards!
May 17, 2012. Posted by Brandy Wood.Add new comment | Filed under: Ailey Camp Newark, Awards, Conversations with Allan Wolper, doug doyle, Frank Lucas, Monica Miller, News, NYABJ, wbgo, WBGO News
WBGO Jazz 88.3FM swept the Radio Category with First Place honors in General News, Public Affairs and Arts & Entertainment at the 2012 New York Association of Black Journalists (NYABJ) awards ceremony held May 15 at The Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center in New York.

WBGO received awards in the following categories:
First Place in the Spot General News Radio Category: "Newark Shootings" Reporting from Newark City Hall, WBGO's Monica Miller spoke with Newark Mayor Cory Booker and Police Director Samuel DeMaio about a targeted shooting spree by drug dealers which left a 15-year-old dead.
First Place in Public Affairs/Radio Category: "Conversation with Allan Wolper - Frank Lucas" Host Allan Wolper had a candid conversation with former Harlem drug king Frank Lucas, who at one time was smuggling massive shipments of pure heroin to the United States from Southeast Asia on military transports.

The Ippies Awards are given to the ethnic and community press by the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. It is the only New York-area competition that recognizes excellence amongst journalists, photographers, graphic artists, editors, and publishers from the ethnic and community media. Since 2002, the awards program has served as a vehicle to honor outstanding work, to promote coalition building within this media sector, and to attract mainstream media attention.
Veteran TV reporter and anchor Connie Chung was the keynote speaker. Errol Lewis from NY1's Inside City Hall was the Master of Ceremonies. The entries were judged by faculty and adjuncts at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, as well as professional journalists. The 2012 competition attracted 240 entries across 10 categories from 46 community and ethnic news organizations.
The winner of the best use of audio in reporting was Monica Miller, for her story, "Newark Roll Call," which aired on WBGO on July 29, 2011. In the radio piece, Miller detailed the growing tension between community members and Newark's police force.
Congratulations, Monica!

Are we smart enough to solve our raven problem?
As ravens spread, they're finding friends and foes in Western states.
For millennia, the sagebrush steppe that sprawls from Wyoming to California was a treeless scrubland, unbroken by anything taller than the occasional piñon or juniper. Common ravens, which prefer to nest in trees and on cliffs, were scarce. That changed during the 20th century, when transmission towers and telephone poles sprouted in the high desert. With the advancing infrastructure – not only power lines, but also roads, dumps and towns – came the ravens. Today, Corvus corax is ubiquitous in the West.
The birds' success testifies to an intelligence nearly unmatched in the animal kingdom. Ravens are resourceful, talkative, capable of using tools. They can hunt in packs. They solve puzzles. They're one of only two vertebrates known to be capable of displacement, the ability to communicate about objects and events distant in time and space. Humans are the other.
The brilliance and adaptability of ravens have helped them triumph in an era that has been disastrous for most wildlife. Ravens feast on refuse and roadkill, drink from livestock troughs and nest on and hunt from human power structures. They are what biologists call a subsidized predator, thriving on the food and habitat humans provide. In the last 40 years, raven numbers have grown fourfold in the West at large, fivefold in Idaho, sixfold in Nevada.
We humans, however, have not greeted them warmly. Ravens devour crops, attack livestock, and, perhaps most notoriously, clash with sage grouse. In response, Westerners have shot and poisoned thousands of them. Ravens have become victims of their own success. The question is, what do we do about them?
One correction: The sage-grouse nest-monitoring study by Peter Coates and co-authors was published in 2008 (Journal of Field Ornithology 79(4):421-428).
The actual numbers from this study are also worth noting. Raven predation was documented at 10 of the 55 monitored nests. Predation by badgers was documented at 7 nests.
Cattle flushed grouse from five of the nests. In one case, a cow ate one egg and three other eggs were damaged, leading to nest abandonment. One other nest was abandoned after the flushing incident.
One wonders if, for the sake of being consistent in their lunacy, Idaho Fish & Game plan to shoot seven badgers and two range cows for every ten ravens that they manage to shoot.

I used this code, without the SUM and GROUP BY functions, and it pulls the data properly. However, I get a bunch of duplicate entries for each day, and hundreds per month. That's why I would like to group them all by month. Does anyone see any ideas as to why this is not working?

Ripken: Mom's kidnapping 'bizarre'
Cal Ripken Jr. says his family and the police are still searching for answers about the kidnapping of his mother last week, a crime he called ''bizarre'' and unsettling.
Cal Ripken Jr. said Friday that his family and the police were still searching for answers about the kidnapping of his mother last week, a crime he called both bizarre and unsettling.
The Hall of Fame infielder, speaking publicly for the first time about the abduction, said he doesn't know why his 74-year-old mother, Vi, was kidnapped at gunpoint from her home outside Baltimore, blindfolded and driven around in her for nearly 24 hours. She was found unharmed in her car early the next morning, near her home.
He said there's reason to believe the kidnapping was planned in advance, but he said he can't be sure and doesn't know why she was targeted.
''It's bizarre in many ways,'' he said.
Investigators say there was no ransom demand, and the elder Ripken has told a neighbor that her abductor appeared not to know that she was the mother of the retired Baltimore Oriole who owns baseball's record for most consecutive games played.
Police have said little about the investigation but have erected billboards and released a sketch of a suspect and video footage of the man — wearing a light-colored jacket and an orange cap — pulled from inside a Walmart store.
Ripken said the experience has rattled the otherwise tough woman, known for years as the matriarch of the famous baseball family. She has been ''talking nonstop'' about the kidnapping but remains too shaken up to return to the home in Aberdeen where she and her husband, Cal Sr., raised four children. She is staying with family.
Still, she's continuing to attend her granddaughter's sports games, visit the beauty parlor and can still be seen in the stands for home games of the Single-A IronBirds, a minor league club in Aberdeen owned by Cal Ripken.
''Mom, by and large, is a tough, strong woman. She's been able to endure this,'' Ripken said.
He fielded questions inside the B&O Warehouse at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, where he manned shortstop and third base for the final stretch of his career. Known for a lunch-pail work ethic and a steady, unflappable approach, the athlete who earned the moniker ''Iron Man'' for playing in 2,632 consecutive games during a 21-year career appeared to choke up as he described the night he learned his mother was missing.
He was told the police had received a report of a car with his mother's tags on it, and that a woman had been seen tied up in the back seat. Ripken said he drove around looking for his mother, unsure where she was or what had happened to her.
''It was,'' he said, ''a horrible night.''
It was an emotional family reunion the next morning.
''We were very excited. I think we all let our emotions show,'' he said.
The Ripken family holds deep ties to Maryland's baseball community. Vi Ripken has long been regarded as a fixture in her Maryland community - a woman committed to raising her children and fostering their athletic ambitions as her husband, Cal Ripken Sr., steeped himself in a decades-long career in the minor and major leagues. Cal Ripken Sr. was known for a tough-as-nails, steely approach to the game and for preaching the ''Oriole Way,'' a system that valued fundamentals and professionalism. He managed both Cal and another son, Bill, for a time and died in 1999.
Although Ripken has made countless public appearances, including speaking at his Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2007, he acknowledged that Friday was different. He said he mostly wanted to ask for the public's help in finding the kidnapper and in assuring his family's supporters, many of whom know his mother as ''just Vi,'' was doing OK.
''This is very uncomfortable, no doubt about it,'' Ripken said. ''The set of circumstances that has me before you doesn't feel good. ''

Fall's finest
November 24, 2011 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY—Fall officially ends on December 21, but for the area sports teams, it's already winter. To commemorate that rite of passage, both Sullivan West and Tri-Valley held their fall sports awards this past week as coaches lauded their teams' efforts and presented awards to several outstanding athletes.
The Sullivan West girls soccer team and the football team earned the honor of being designated as NYSPHSAA Scholar Athletes for their team GPAs of 90 percent or better. It was the first time that a football team from Sullivan West or its former component districts of Delaware Valley or Jeffersonville-Youngsville had ever achieved that academic distinction. Other Sullivan West fall highlights included the girls cross-country Division IV championship. Dani Myers won her third consecutive individual divisional championship title as part of those harrier heroics. The volleyball team made sectionals for the fifth straight year. Reed Scott was the last fall participant as he competed at the NYSPHSAA Cross-Country Championship. Fall sport awards winners include: Kristina Sumfleth, Defensive Soccer Player; Kassie Thelman, Miss Soccer 2011; Richard Lander, Boys Soccer Offensive Most Valuable Player; Tyler Groh, Most Valuable Defensive Soccer Player; David Schultz, Most Improved Cross-Country Runner; Reed Scott, Most Valuable Runner; Courtney Meyerer, Most Improved Runner; Dani Myers, Most Valuable Runner; Andrew Parsons, Football's Outstanding Lineman; Tom Mootz, Football's Outstanding Back; Rebecca Corcillo, Most Outstanding Volleyball Player; and Karalii Rabii, Best Attacking Volleyball Player.
Sullivan West highlights: First time three cross-country girl runners finished in top 10 at sectionals (Myers, Meyerer and Kelsey Dutton), though not one runner qualified for states; smallest gap from first to fifth place (1:31). Section Nine runner up, team placed in four of five invitationals and won the seventh annual Ben Boice Invitational in Millbrook. Reed Scott's meteoric rise continued with vast improvement in times and his first state qualification. Richard Lander led the boys soccer team with 17 goals and four assists, setting a new Sullivan West soccer scoring record. The football team made it back to the playoffs after a one-year hiatus. Tom Mootz was the leading rusher with 126/827 yards. He averaged 6.56 yards per carry, scored 11 TDs and was the team's leading tackler with 125 averaging 13.9 tackles per game. He had 3.5 sacks. E.J. Franskevicz was the second leading rusher on the team with 99 carries for 504 yards and two rushing TD's. He completed 31/89 passes and threw for six TD's.

Burned building to be demolished
December 21, 2011 —
The Town of Bethel, which has been more aggressive than most in Sullivan County when it comes to clearing away eye-sore buildings, took another step in that direction when a public hearing was set for January 4 over the demolition of a building in Swan Lake.
The building that used to house Kilcoin's Tavern was badly damaged in a fire about two years ago and has since been vacant. At the town meeting on December 14, supervisor Dan Sturm read a letter from Glenn Smith, the town engineer, which said that, in Smith's opinion, it would not be economically feasible to repair the damage, and he recommended that the structure be demolished.
The town held an initial public hearing on the building back in July, and absent any action from the owner, who Sturm called uncooperative, the town will seek bids to tear down the building after the next public hearing. Typically, the costs of the demolition are added to the property tax bill of the owner.
Also at the meeting, the board voted to pay a $5,000 fine to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) regarding the town's sand and gravel mine, which it uses, among other things, to provide sand for town roads.
Sturm said the DEC had concerns about the mine dating back to 1998, and said changes were needed to protect the Middle Mongaup River. In 2008, the town installed a leach field at the mine at a cost of $175,000. Sturm said the DEC initially said the agency would reimburse the town for half the cost of the project but when the time came to pay, the agency did not have the funds due to serious budget cuts in Albany related to the nation-wide recession.
The DEC agreed to reduce the fine, which had been as high as $80,000 at one point.
Building activity up
One of the bright spots of the meeting was the building report. For the month of November, both building fees and construction costs were well above November of 2010, so much so that construction costs were driven well ahead of last year's level. Sturm said that the amount of money spent on construction projects in the town through the end of November of 2011 was $7.9 million; construction costs for all of 2010 were $6.2 million.
Much of the November costs were due to a Dollar Tree store that is being built on Route 17B, but there are also about a dozen other projects of varying sizes underway.
Sturm said, "So in a very tough economy we still managed to beat last year. We're not to where we were a few years ago, we're still far from that, but at least we're on the upswing."

Clinton School's 5th graders returned to LutheranCare on Thursday, February 12th. Mrs. Palladino's class was very talkative and polite with the residents from LutheranCare assisting and reading to them during our Valentine's Day "Love Poem Craft".
The students sat at tables paired up with residents while they creatively worked on their Valentines by coloring, gluing and glittering!
Pictured are resident Verna Picciano with students Kendell Myers and Billy Williams. At another table were residents Ray Humann and Stella Labarge and students Ryan Garbry and Mikel Quintana. Next to them sat TR Leader Summer Thomson explaining and assisting resident Sylvia Tennant and students Morgan Evans, and Miranda Riley with their art work.
Afterwards, they visited together and shared Valentine's cookies and punch. When they were finished, residents and students chose to take their completed masterpieces with them, or hung them on the windows of LutheranCare's Community Room for the residents and their families to enjoy at the popular 2009 Sweetheart Luncheon and Fashion Show on Friday, February 13th.
Clinton School plans to return with another class of 5th Graders in March, and the Art Club, and LutheranCare's residents and staff can't wait to see them!

Those who think government is necessary to uphold public morals and even put limits on offensive speech ought to pay attention to the controversy over O.J. Simpson's book and TV special, "If I Did It."
The publisher, Judith Regan, said she viewed the book — a supposedly fictional account of how O.J. might have killed his ex-wife and her friend — as a confession to the murders.
Whatever the rationale of those involved in publishing the book and airing the two-part sweeps-week TV special, the public was not amused. Most Americans believe Simpson got away with murder and are disgusted by the prospect of Simpson capitalizing on those slayings. A number of bookstores had refused to stock the book, and even the Borders chain said it would donate any profits from the book to charity.
Some Fox affiliates said they would not air the TV special.
In the midst of this fury, News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch (News Corp. owns Fox and Regan-Books) canceled the publication and the TV show.
"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," Murdoch told The Associated Press. "We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."
No one was calling for the government to censor this book and TV show, but there is a sense among many people that the Federal Communications Commission ought to be stricter in the types of programs that are allowed on the airwaves. Yet we see here that public pressure and disdain has a way of chastening publishing and television executives.
Last week, also, comedian Michael Richards — the Kramer character from the "Seinfeld" show — burst into a racist outrage after being heckled during a stand-up comic routine. Here again we saw that the system polices itself, as an aghast public reacted in a way that will likely diminish or extinguish his career.
Again, no one that we know of has been pushing for government action, but these cases are examples of why such actions are not necessary. A free society must put up with a variety of publications, shows and speech that are offensive to many. If they are offensive to too many people, the heavy hand of public disapproval will impose the toughest possible sentence in a marketplace of ideas.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Ok. Im confused. Was Madara just chillen? Also why in the WORLD did kakashi not kill obito?
I tried my hardest to like Obito as a villain but I just can't. Gaara had it the worst and he's a good guy now.
I am just wondering, WHY didn't Kakashi just killed Obito with a Chidori?
Thee Juubi looks weird with that thing in the back.
naruto sagemode + bijuumode will beat 10 tails both in strenght and chakra but thare is allso madara... who will absorb chackra+ that big susanoo but naruto will perfect ftg and win, but if madara becomes the 10 tails jinjuriki that will be bad like really bad.
my comrades wtf has happened
Finally some action!!!! The Juubi took long enough to revive, damn! Shit just got real though, I predict that the juubi will go wild and Madara won't be able to control it. That would be awesome!!! Naruto is boned now thourgh becuase he can't fight the juubi. I can't wait till next week.

What I hated:
The tables have turned so suddenlyObito is getting it handed to him Didn't see much Madara - does he look in bad shape?
Gai looks in real bad shape, will we see 8 gates Gai soon?Was Obito simply distracting them the whole time ?I know they were busy, but why didn't the 8 and 9 Tails try and destroy the Juubi earlier?Why didn't the 9 Tails give out chakra earlier ? And someone please give Gai some chakra ! O.O
Anyway, I'm waiting for the theories as I am a bit confused about that whole chapter , it moved along so fast
You know the chapter was not that good when LssJBroly is not exactly excited about it. Lol.
here comes imperfect juubi
Quite the rare occasion. We will finally have our first Uchiha Jinchurikki, whether it's Obito or Madara...
I'm wondering how important Madara's "Oh well..." comment was. He definitely knows something we don't, probably having to do with the 10 tails being incomplete. Madara may not have told Obito or Zetsu the entirety of his plan and had something else which Obito screwed up by not reviving the complete 10 tails. This does seem like the perfect time to cut to Sasuke. Actually, I wouldn't mind that at all, I'm very curious about what's on that scroll.
Welpp. Its obvious whats gonna happen. Naruto is gonna get PWNED and Sauske them will come.
the chapter was awesome i liked the combo fight against obito but now I'm really thinkin how can naruto bee kakashi and a half dead gai win against madara juubi and a hurt obito the chances are 1 to 10000000 but i hope kishi does sth
anyway 5/5 :D
great chap my boy naruto and kurama went ham as usual 5/5 i hope naruto pulls a dbz in fuse with sasuke or something i dont see how else they could stop 10 tails
Its on now!!! DAMN!
also is the juubi obitos or madara in versus thread like when we say obito versus someone will we include the juubi as his power or madara because he thought of the plan first
also everything after this chap is going to be 5/5 chaps
Hurry call Goku
Haha, love the way madara was just chillin what a boss
Scene starts off with the ground cracking and lava erupting.
Gai: We're too late, the juubi has revived.
Kakashi: There has to be a way to beat the juubi
Madara: You are forgetting that the Juubi is an eternal being, it cannot be destroyed for it will always be revived.
Naruto: The Juubi is still incomplete, it only has 6 tails worth of the 9 tails and 1 tentacle of the eight tails.
Obito: Regardless your powers are no match for what is to come.
Juubi creates a TBB and aims it at Naruto, Bee, Gai, and Kakashi.
Naruto gets them out safely before it hits them.
Madara: Ignoring the fate of this world is pointless. I would seal the juubi inside me, but I intend to have it completed so I will capture you both.
Gai: Your opponent is me!
Gai lunges at Madara but Madara shoots him into a pile of rubble with shinra tensei
Madara summons 2 meteors to crash down upon naruto.
Naruto shoots a tailed beast ball destroying the meteors meanwhile Bee is fighting Obito.
Obito: You have no hope left the Juubi has been revived.
Gyuki: We will never give up.
Obito: Then I will demonstrate why you should.
Obito makes hand seals as he disappears to his dimension
Switches back to naruto.
Naruto: I have to think of something to end this fight.
Suddenly Madara rushes naruto using the preta path attempting to drain his chakra.
Kakashi lunges from underneath the earth slicing Madara in half with raikiri.
Madara: I see you both are not to be taken lightly when working together.
Madara focuses his EMS on the juubi's eye and starts to control its movements.
The juubi creates a TBB.
Madara: This time you are not escaping!
Naruto: I have no intention of running.
Naruto: Kage Bunshin No jutsu
Naruto creates 300 clones and they go into sage mode. With 100 rasen shurrikens they throw them at the juubi
Obito: Not so fast!
Obito uses his Kamui to create a swirling vortex within the TBB mixing his fire release with it.
Madara creates a wall of Amaterasu around kakashi and naruto.
Kakashi: Damn were in a tight spot!
The TBB mixed with fire collides with the rasen shurrikens creating a massive firestorm.
Gyuki grabs kakashi and wraps him in his tentacles.
Obito: Do you feel like there's hope now! I'll save this world!
The firestorm quickly overwhelms Bee and Naruto!
Obito: With "The masters" out of the way there's no hope for you now.
Madara makes seals for his wood dragon when suddenly the entire landscape splits.
Gai can be seen exerting a powerful force that is ripping Madara in half faster then he can regenerate. Obito's right arm has been cut by the powerful gust and the juubi remains unphased.
Gai: Its true that hope is fading fast, but I am utilizing the death gate i'll take down the Juubi!
Madara: Obito do not let him get close to the juubi.
Obito: I'll just warp him aw...
Obito is punched on his right side and its instantly vaporized.
Obito coughing blood: How is this possible...I was in my dimension...
Gai: The 8th gate gives me the power to punch through space. Your technique is fruitless in the face of mine!
Gai delivers a kick to obito's neck causing a flashback to the day they fought in the chuunin exams.
Gai then punches the juubi to the other dimension.
Gai: Naruto you must take down Madara the juubi will be back and obito is not finished yet.
A white zetsu clone appears and forms with obito revitalizing him.
Obito: I am immortal with the power of hashirama. I have both the powers of Senju and Uchiha I cannot lose!
Naruto creates kage bunshins that barrage Obito with kunai!
Obito: Is that the best you got? Its going to take a lot more then kunai's to take me down child!
Kakashi rushes Obito in the other dimensions and rips out his sharingan.
Kakashi: Now the playing field is evened out and you will be eliminated.
Next time -Kakashi vs Obito and Bee and Naruto vs Madara
Sorry it sucks lol I'm not too creative tonight hope you enjoyed it though. I would keep going but I want too see reactions to see if people want more.
Good chapter but why obito don't use any offensive jutsu,in the whole series he is just defending with intangibility and if he wants to defeat he need a touch to get them in other dimension.Really he has 1 rinnegan so he should do much better than this.
chapter is epic...5/5 but stilll i think that jyubbi has been revived too early...Its gonna spoil the party...

You can't tell me it's free
I guess somewhere in the Dr. Pepper laboratories, someone opened their mouth and made a bet stating there was no way Guns and Roses new CD "Chinese Democracy" would be released before years end.
If the CD hit the stores by the cutoff of years end, everyone in America would get a "free" Dr. Pepper.
Well it was, fourteen years in the making, and it goes on sale this weekend. You can bet I'll be knocking over ladies in their mid-forties with way too much makeup on, sporting supertight low cut jeans to get my copy…NOT !
Please retired rockers, not all 80's hair bands need to re-unite.
Beginning Sunday at 12:01 a.m., coupons for a free 20-ounce soda will be available for 24 hours on Dr Pepper's web site.
You can redeem those bad boys until Feb 28th, 2009.
(Axl Rose, dude what happend to you?——–>)
Ok here we go, I don't get the Dr. Pepper tie-in with Guns and Roses. Why would they give a schit when or if ever the Guns and Roses CD was released?
Why would they venture into such uncharted territory? What do they have to gain from such a gamble?
It's simple,
free A-D-V-E-R-T-I-S-I-N-G. The word F-R-E-E attracts people. I'll admit, it catches my eye.
It's a brilliant idea, think about it. A soda costs roughly ten cents to make, just a guess.
In a country as populated as the USA, they're bound to be numerous Dr. Pepper "virgins", who will redeem the coupon, drink the stuff, like it, and get hooked.
Bam,…small investment paid for.
Here is a statement from Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper's vice president of marketing.
"We never thought this day would come, but now that it's here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."
Yea right, let me bend over and move to the right a little bit because the smoke he's blowing in my direction is missing its intended spot.
So lets see,…..they're gaining new customers because the free soda promotion creates a "buzz" with all of the free publicity (so by writing this I'm part of the hype, I realize this).
Plus, how many people will actually download the coupon?
That by the way, is genius in itself. We pay for the paper and the ink = zero coupon expense for Dr. Pepper.
Finally, how many people will pay for the gas to drive somewhere to redeem it?
See,.. their investment is minimal compared to the potential rewards. I hope not, but I believe I'm starting to see an ugly trend.
Give that guy who thought up this whole free Dr. Pepper thing a free Chalupa, but give him a code and make him go online to redeem it. Then tell him he has to do it between 4pm and 6pm.
Then ask him how much he enjoyed his "free chalupa".
Let me officially say I'm tired of free schit that ain't free.
Free is, I casually walk into the 7-11, open the cooler, take out a Dr. Pepper, walk past the clerk and say, "thanks man, this one's on the Dr".
We all know that isn't going to happen.
You can't play me like that Dr. Pepper or any other company considering a similar promotion.
I see through it. Please stop this misleading crap now, it dumbens (that's not a misspelling..it's my word) America.
No need to speed up the process.
America, you don't need anything for free. It feels much better inside when you work for it.
Not paying for your stuff outright is what has got this country all F'ked up right now..
Want something free? Go hug someone, that's truely free and it doesn't use ink or kill a tree.

Snowmaking gives resorts a jump on the season
Anthony Edwards photo Bryan Raiche of Rutland flips off a jump during the opening day of the Mouse Run terain park at Killington Resort on Saturday.
Thanks to ideal temperatures and snowmaking upgrades, nine of the 18 ski resorts in the state have trails open, accounting for nearly 20 percent of the skiable terrain in Vermont.
According to the Vermont Ski Areas Association, thats the most terrain open at this date since the 2008-09 season.
Parker Riehle, the VSAA president, said Wednesday the strong start to the season can be attributed to the combination of ideal weather conditions and the upgrades made by the states resorts in their snowmaking capacity.
Riehle said snowmaking coverage statewide has reached 80 percent of the trails after upgrades during the off season. He said thats an improvement from four years ago.
For sure, weve increased our snowmaking coverage by at least 10 percentage points since then, he said. I know coming into this season from last year the resorts were below 75 percent, but with all the off-season expansions we were able to break the 80 percent statewide mark, which is pretty incredible.
Jay Peak and Burke Mountain invested a combined $1.5 million in snowmaking upgrades.
Burke Mountain had its earliest and most successful opening ever, opening Dec. 1, said Hannah Collins, Burkes marketing manager. And with the new upgrades in our snowmaking equipment we were also opening with the most trails that we ever have.
Okemo added 52 energy-efficient snow guns to its arsenal, while Bromley added 60 tower guns.
That ability to make snow is crucial when weather conditions arent ideal. So far, this early in the season, snowfall has been in short supply. We havent had a whole lot, nothing major, Riehle said. But we have had a fair amount of snowfall in the upper elevations ... thats just enough to top things off.
Last year was a disappointing season for the ski industry. The season for many resorts in the state came to an abrupt halt after a summerlike hot spell in March.
The states ski areas reported 3,903,171 skier and snowboarder visits during the 2011-12 season down 10.5 percent from the 4,365,906 visits the previous season, which was the best season since 2004-05.
Riehle said a good start to this season has given resorts a jump on meeting whats expected to be pent-up demand by skiers and snowboarders.
In terms of sort of business levels weve heard so far, actual skier visits, very positive for those early openings around Thanksgiving and the weekends since, he said. Resorts are reporting numbers definitely up, or up above last years levels.
Several of the states resorts boasted early openings, including Killington, Okemo Mountain, Jay Peak, Smugglers Notch and Burke Mountain.
This week, Killington had 32 trails open; Okemo, 26 trails; Mount Snow, 15 trails; Stratton, 23 trails; Sugarbush, 13 trails; Stowe, 30 trails; Smugglers Notch, eight trails; and Jay Peak, nine trails.
Middlebury College Snow Bowl plans to open for the season Saturday; Bromley Mountain and Burke will reopen Saturday as well.

Amazon Reveals $299 8.9" Kindle Fire HD, $499 LTE Model with $50 Yearly Data Plan
Brandon Hill

Kindle Fire HD 7"
Kindle Fire HD features 8.9" IPS display with 1920x1200 resolution
As the only company that has released a tablet that has managed to take a dent out of Apple's iPad sales (the Kindle Fire accounts for
22% of U.S. tablet sales
), many people are looking forward to seeing what Amazon's next generation Kindle Fire has in store. The first generation Kindle Fire made a splash with a $199 price point and 7" form-factor, but Amazon is looking to expand the lineup's appeal with second generation the devices.
The first up is a refreshed 7" model. It keeps the same look as the original, but includes a faster processor and twice the RAM. In addition, the price has been slashed from $199 to $159. It's hard to argue with faster performance and a cheaper price tag.
But the big announcement is the Kindle Fire HD. This new tablet is available with a 7" (1280x800) or 8.9" IPS display (1920x1200). The 8.9" Kindle Fire HD is only 8.8mm thick and weighs just 1.25 pounds. Powering the Kindle Fire HD is a Texas Instruments OMAP 4470 processor.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos even took at a dig at the Apple iPad by announcing that the Kindle Fire HD comes with dual stereo speakers that feature Dolby Digital Plus technology. The Kindle Fire HD also includes dual Wi-Fi antennas an MIMO compared to a single Wi-Fi antenna on the iPad and Nexus 7. Bezos says this allows its Kindle Fire HD tablets to outperform all competitors in Wi-Fi bandwidth tests.
Kindle Fire HD 8.9" showing "FreeTime"
Another interesting feature that Amazon is introducing with the Kindle Fire HD is FreeTime. FreeTime allows a parents to setup profiles on the device so that children will only have access to "kid-friendly" content while the grownups can still have access to entire spectrum of content. The profiles will also allow parents to limit how much time their child plays on the device.
The Kindle Fire HD will be available with 16GB of storage capacity and also includes HDMI out and Bluetooth. The 7" model will be priced at $199 (ships September 14) while the 8.9" model rings in at $299 (ships November 20).
Amazon also announced one additional member to the Kindle Fire HD family. The Kindle Fire HD LTE 4G model is priced at $499, includes 32GB of storage, and comes with an amazing data package. For just $49.99/year, you get 250MB of bandwidth per month, 20GB of cloud storage space, and a $10 in Appstore credit. Can you say game changer?
The Kindle Fire HD LTE 4G will ship on November 20.
For those that prefer Amazon's more traditional line of e-readers, the company also today announced the Kindle Paperwhite. The Kindle Paperwhite features a higher resolution screen with 212 ppi (62 percent more pixels than previous model) that offers whiter whites and blacker blacks.
Kindle Paperwhite
The capacitive touch screen device is 9.1mm thick, weighs just 7.5 ounces, and had an 8-week battery life. It costs $119 and will ship on October 1. The Kindle Paperwhite 3G will also ship on October 1 for $179.
Even further done the e-reader ladder is the standard "Kindle". Amazon has updated the Kindle to include new fonts and crisper text, and has dropped the price from $79 to $69. It will ship on September 14.
"And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say?" -- Bill Gates on the Mac ads

Cisco on Deck: Don't Expect Any Miracles
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Cisco(CSCO) reports its first-quarter results after market close on Tuesday amid growing concern about spending headwinds, Europe and fears of the looming fiscal cliff .
Silicon Valley has delivered a largely underwhelming earnings season, as evidenced by disappointing quarterly numbers from heavyweights such as IBM(IBM) and Intel(INTC) , which lowered its outlook.
Any hopes that Cisco might offer some respite for the tech sector are likely wide of the mark, say analysts, citing concerns that Cisco's recent momentum is slowing. The networking giant reported solid fourth-quarter results in August, boosted by its U.S. enterprise business, but the Dow component may tell a different story this quarter.
"Given the slowdown in IT spending discussed by a plethora of technology companies in recent weeks, we find it hard to believe that Cisco will be able to maintain its encouraging tone around the Enterprise market and the looming 'Fiscal Cliff' is likely to provide incremental weakness for the Company," warned Brian White, an analyst at Topeka Capital Markets.
Set against this backdrop, White also expects Cisco's forward commentary to turn more cautious.
"Results from industry peers point to a challenging IT spending environment," added Stuart Jeffrey, an analyst at Nomura Equity Research. "Common themes from earnings included: continued weakness in EMEA, soft US enterprise and federal spending, and weakness in hardware investment."
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are looking for Cisco to report revenue of $11.77 billion and earnings of 46 cents a share, up from $11.3 billion and 43 cents a share in the same period last year.
Cisco has beaten Wall Street's earnings forecast for the last six quarters, but there's a question mark over whether this trend will continue.
TheStreet will be live-blogging Cisco's results, starting at 3.45 PM ET:
White expects Cisco to meet his earnings projection of 45 cents a share, while Paul Mansky of Cantor Fitzgerald expects the switch maker to match Wall Street's 46-cent forecast. Nomura's Sherlund believes that tight cost controls should help the company meet its outlook for a profit of 45 to 47 cents a share.
Cisco's guidance, however, will also be under the microscope, as investors weigh the likely duration of IT spending pressure. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are looking for fiscal second-quarter revenue of $12.02 billion and earnings of 47 cents a share.
SDN refers to Software-Defined Networking, a set of techniques for managing network traffic flows through software, which is increasingly touted by the likes of Cisco and its networking rival HP(HPQ) .

Many leaders were intent on strengthening economic ties between countries around the Pacific during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. But Japan's leader also took the time to strengthen ties with Hawaii; ties that were built after a deadly accident took place here a decade ago.
After arriving at the Ehime Maru memorial, Japan's Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda bowed his head for a moment of silence. He then placed a wreath at the site where nine crew members of the Japanese training ship are remembered.
"The prime minister coming to the memorial here really shows the Japanese and American relationship is so important," said Ray Sekiya, a member of the Hawaii Fukuoka Kenjin Kai, a group that cares for the Kakaako memorial.
That relationship became strained in February of 2001 when the USS Greenville, a Navy submarine, demonstrated an emergency maneuver, surfaced beneath the Ehime Maru and sank the ship.
During his visit, Noda learned about the history of the Kakaako memorial and the volunteers who care for it every week.
"I wanted to let him know that there are groups here that take their time on the weekends to clean the memorial on behalf of the those who were lost," said Japanese-America Society of Hawaii president Edwin Hawkins.
Noda personally greeted and thanked the volunteers for their efforts. Just some of the efforts that have helped to strengthen ties between the two countries.
"They want to show the people of Japan and Hawaii and the rest of the world that this accident caused us to reach out and create better relations between us and Japan," said Ken Saiki, the director of the Ehime Maru Association.
The prime minister was only at the Kakaako site for about 10 minutes, but took time to see the three Mandarin orange trees which were planted on the 10th anniversary of the deadly accident.
Those who care for the memorial said it not only marks a tragic event in the past but also has created an important bridge for the future.
"It's a lesson to all of us, as terrible as things are, we need to think about the future, about the children and what we leave for those who come behind us," said Hawkins.
This is the first time a sitting Japanese Prime Minister has visited the memorial. While the stop meant a lot to the volunteers in Hawaii, there is hope the visit will also help ease the pain of families of the victims. Photos of the prime minister's visit will be sent to those families in back in Japan.

Step 1: Read Up2 of 21
By Natasha Burton
The brain is a woman's most powerful sex organ, so start with a book to get your mind in the mood. Whether read with your partner or alone, this tome by sexperts Em & Lo is full of solid advice and tastefully sexy pics that just might entice you to try something new.
SHOP NOW: Sex: How To Do Everything, $16
Step 1: Read Up3 of 21
We love this how-to guide from Claire Cavanah and Rachel Venning, the founders of Babeland, a Seattle-based sex shop with a female-friendly mission. Their book is packed with useful information about everything sex-related (no subject is too taboo!) and also includes a helpful Q&A section.
SHOP NOW: Moregasm, $22.50
Step 1: Read Up4 of 21
Written by sex therapist and clinical sexologist Dr. Natasha Janina Valdez, this guide to upping the thrill factor in your sex life is geared toward married couples, but includes tons of fun tips and activities for any couple to try. There's something in here for every comfort level, so you can ease into spontaneity.
SHOP NOW: A Little Bit Kinky, $12
Step 2: Set the Mood5 of 21
Nothing sets the mood like a yummy-smelling candle, and this one burns into a sumptuous massage oil you can easily pour onto yourself or your partner. Not only will a massage relax and prepare you both for more fun, but good lighting is known to help ease bedroom inhibitions.
SHOP NOW: EMBER by Jimmyjane, $35
Step 2: Set the Mood6 of 21
Another way to set a sexy tone is by bringing a blindfold to bed. As popular knowledge contends, losing one of your senses often heightens other senses — and nowhere is this idea better put to use than in the boudoir.
SHOP NOW: Embroidered Blindfold by Coco De Mer, $65
Step 2: Set the Mood7 of 21
Before getting into more playful activities, be sure to have some lubricant on deck. We like this duo for many reasons: The liquid stays slippery (a little goes a long way) and each one provides a different sensation — "his" is warming and "hers" is tingly. You can use both together, one at a time or even put "hers" on him (and vice versa), allowing endless possibilities for foreplay.
SHOP NOW: YOURS + MINE Lubricant, $17
Step 3: Play Around8 of 21
Using sexy props is the next step. For a different kind of sensation, try massaging your partner with a feather tickler instead of your hands. Not only will the gesture feel good, but it's also quite relaxing and will curb any residual stress from a long work day.
SHOP NOW: Small Feather Tickler by Coco De Mer, $16
Step 3: Play Around9 of 21
For another feather option, try one with a long handle. A tickler also goes quite well with the previously-mentioned blindfold, allowing the person doing the tickling to have a sense of control — and this kind of role-playing could be fun to explore with your partner. Just be sure to switch, so both people can have each experience.
SHOP NOW: Ostrich Tickler from Babeland, $16
Step 3: Play Around10 of 21
In the mood to play games? We love the idea of dirty darts for two reasons: 1) A little healthy competition over who can score a bull's-eye is sure to rev up the mood. 2) Throwing darts is active, allowing you to move around and get that blood flowing. And, of course, as you play the game, you'll get the intimate action started.
SHOP NOW: Dirty Darts from Red Envelope, $20
Step 3: Play Around11 of 21
If you can't decide where to start, you can always experiment with a kit that includes multiple sexy items. This one has trial sizes of massage oil and body dust, two blindfolds, a feather tickler, tea candles and a mini how-to guide. It's also compact enough to travel with, making it a great choice if you want to play while on vacation.
SHOP NOW: Slightly Naughty Weekend Kit, $30
Step 3: Play Around12 of 21
Similar to the his/hers lubricants, these lip glosses release an icy or fiery charge. Slide some on, and you'll not only have a perfect pout, but anywhere you kiss will receive a surprise sensation.
SHOP NOW: Ice Hot Kisses by YesForLov, $42
Step 3: Play Around13 of 21
This item is a sexy splurge if you're looking to really up your ante in the play department. Wear this sterling silver ring on your thumb and forefinger to give your man some added sensation when pleasing him with your hand.
SHOP NOW: Betony Vernon Petting Ring for Men, $1550
Step 4: Try a Toy14 of 21
When you're ready to move into vibrational territory, this toy is a great way to start because it provides very targeted stimulation. Used solo or with your guy, before sex or during, it works in a variety of situations and is very easy to use. Just put it over your finger and switch it on with the touch of a button.
SHOP NOW: Trojan Her Pleasure Vibrating Touch, $12
Step 4: Try a Toy15 of 21
Vibrators can also be worn by your guy for an extra zing during sex. Positioned for stimulation in just the right place, this one-time-use ring slides on easily (it's very stretchy and will fit most men comfortably) and has a tiny switch on the side of the vibrator that's easy to turn on and off.
SHOP NOW: Screaming O Disposable Vibrating Ring, $6
Step 4: Try a Toy16 of 21
This dual ring gives both you and your guy some good vibration. Each mini vibrator has its own switch, giving you options on how you want to use the toy. This ring is also disposable, but its battery will last for a solid twenty minutes.
SHOP NOW: Trojan Duo Vibrating Ring, $22 (for three)
Step 4: Try a Toy17 of 21
If you find that you really like the vibrating ring sensation, consider investing in a non-disposable one. We like Lelo Bo's ring, because the sensation is neither too strong nor too light, and its flexible material ensures comfort for both partners. This ring is rechargeable and can last up to four hours.
SHOP NOW: Lelo Bo Vibrating Ring, $75
Step 4: Try a Toy18 of 21
When it comes to vibrators, we're big fans of Jimmyjane: Not only are their products elegant, but they are all made from non-toxic materials. If you're not ready for one of the phallic variety, try the FORM 2. It fits in the palm of your hand and can be used in a variety of ways. With its own docking station, it's also easy to recharge.

Another non-phallic option for a vibrator is one with a fun shape, such as this take on the classic rubber duck. Like all Jimmyjane vibrators, this one is waterproof — which is perfect if you want to transition your bedroom exploring into the bath or shower.

Step 4: Try a Toy20 of 21
We're also fans of Jimmyjane's FORM 6. Shaped more like the real thing (but still very elegant), this vibrator's soft exterior ensures you'll be comfortable, whether you use it internally or externally. It also has a rechargeable docking station and is available in a variety of colors.

Step 4: Try a Toy21 of 21
For a more glam option, we like this very classy — 24 karat gold! — vibrator. This one runs on batteries and boasts a replaceable motor, giving it longevity. Because of its metallic composition, it will warm up with the heat of your hand or cool quickly if you put it in the fridge before using.
