Comments: These shoes are AWESOME!! The fit is perfect for my foot. Just returned 2 pairs of Mizunos, {which I usually love} & always have to get size 12 to fit my width & then they're a little too long. I ordered 11-1/2 2EE w/ this New Balance & I can snug em up perfectly on each foot! Absolutely Love walking, jogging & working out in these. Very light compared to what I'm use to & walking in these is a DREAM! I got the last 11-1/2 2EE pair available or I'd get another pair for later. They ain't lookin too bad either!
From: Glenn, Long Beach, CA
Comments: Good all around shoe and a huge improvement over the leaden 1060 series. The cushioning is very firm and protects my feet very well, but if you like soft, squishy shoes this is not a shoe for you. Works on or off road and is holding up very well.
From: Dave, Central CT
Comments: This comment from the product review "Landing and liftoff during a midfoot strike was just not as smooth as we thought it would be." is dead-on. Very lightweight and fairly responsive, but severely lacking in cushioning where it counts for midfoot or forefoot strikers. Some good features in this shoe but it needs refining.
From: Nate, Des Moines, IA
Comments: This shoe is a disappointment from New Balance. I have worn this model since the 1060 through the current 1080v2 and this one misses the mark. The fit is all off (length - 1/2 size small and width - too narrow) from previous models and it lacks sufficient forefoot cushioning. Hopefully New Balance gets it right with the next version because this has been the best Neutral Plus shoe on the market for years. 6' 190 Lbs High Arch Wide Forefoot

Laurier Brantford
Joint Laurier-YMCA athletic facility earns prestigious architecture award
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Feb 16/12| For Immediate Release
Kevin Klein, External Relations Coordinator
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
BRANTFORD The design for the future Laurier-YMCA athletic facility in Brantford has earned Cannon Design a prestigious Progressive Architecture (p/a) award from Architect Magazine. The facility design was one of 10 selected for its invention and innovation from among hundreds of submissions from around the world.
The joint Wilfrid Laurier University and YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford facility is designed to be a community athletics and recreation centre with gyms, pools, meeting rooms and other spaces to be used by students and the broader community. The community partnership involves Nipissing University, Mohawk College, the City of Brantford, Six Nations Elected Council and Six Nations Polytechnic.
Cannon Design focused on themes of memory, movement and landscape in its integrated design. The designers describe the facility as an elongated bar anchored by subterranean volume that will offer the public a unified and cohesive experience that asserts a new identity to the block and city as a whole. In their commentary, the Progressive Architecture award jurors also recognized the design for its positive urban contributions.
Lesley Cooper, acting principal/vice-president: Laurier Brantford attended the Progressive Architecture award ceremony Feb. 16 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City with Andrew King, project design principal from Cannon Design.
We take great pride that this incredibly unique facility design has been recognized with such a prestigious international award, said Cooper. We see the positive impacts the facility will have on Laurier, the City of Brantford and our partners, and believe it will be a landmark in downtown Brantford for years to come.
We are delighted to hear that Cannon Design has received this prestigious award, said Jim Commerford, president and CEO of the YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford. A new athletics and recreation centre is an important part of the downtown cores continued economic growth, and we are pleased to be a partner in meeting the future health and wellness needs of Brantford, Brant County and Six Nations residents.
The design of the project was funded in part through a grant from FedDev Ontario. In July, 2011, the Government of Ontario announced $16.7 million in infrastructure funding toward the estimated project cost of $58.4 million. Brantford City Council passed a motion on Feb. 6, 2012 approving in principal a contribution of $5.84 million. The municipal funding supports an application for $16.7 million in federal funding, which is currently being reviewed by the Government of Canada.
For information about the proposed Laurier Brantford/YMCA Athletics Complex, including artists renderings, please visit the project website: www.laurierbrantford.ca/yathleticscomplex, which will be updated as new information becomes available.

P.H. Problems
Noticed on Water and Wastewater.com that Disinfection was not mentioned. I have tried to sign up but no luck, that is why I am posting it in here. Seeing as nobody mentioned that this could be one of the reasons that the P.H. and Alkalinity is so low in the Effluent, I thought what the heck maybe a discussion could start in here to see if we could add our Expertise. My own thought is that it's possible break-point Chlorination may be an issue for the P.H. and Alkalinity being so low. Anybody else have any Ideas.
D. Mak:
If you signed up for water and wastewater forum you should have promptly received a notification e-mail. I would suggest that you try again but make sure that you check your spam folder. As you can see, this Forum is dead and may or may not receive a response.
Thanks Victor, I think spam is blocked( goes to my junk mail)( I.T. may be blocking it with there software) so I think I will have to sign up at Home. I attempted to sign up back is June when you suggested it. I have noticed it is getting alot quieter in here since they modified the forum.
http://www.waterandwastewater.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1277219814 by the way this is the P.H. and Alkalinity issue I was mentioning. any takers???
low alkalinity suggest to me, nitrification
I am working in sewage treatment plant utilizing lagoon ponds, it has an aerator pong, facultative pond and a polishing pond. Its design capacity is 26MLD but the influent entering is only 2mld. Therefore it affects the retention time of the pond. we are having problems with high ph especially on sunny days. can this be caused by the longer retention time which makes the algae proliferate ?please help..thank you in advance
After losing quite a bit of religion, I finally got logged into this page...
Concerning the high pH:
Can you limit your discharge to only at night, and early morning since your flow is so low? That would be simplest.
Other ideas, CO2 injection at outfall to lower your pH. That'll be your problem, photosynthetic activity is depleting your dissolved CO2/carbonic acid in the water, causing the pH to go up. We've done this successfully on some of our basins.
Other than that, you're stuck with controlling the algae. Chlorine in your polishing pond will do that. There are other algaecides that will control algae, but you will challenge any toxicity limits you have (as you will with the chlorine). There are also some vegetable based dye products on the market (Aquashade) that will control algae; if you don' t have an issue discharging blue green water.
Longer term ideas: Add aeration to aerate the polishing pond vigorously to restore the CO2 equilibrium. Some state regulators will work with you on relief from your pH limit, if you prove it is due to natural causes.
Unfortunately, other than that, you're pretty much stuck with praying for rain with overcast skies, or cold weather.

Editor's Note: In Part I of this series we looked at the history and concept of the Leatherwood Hi-Lux M1000 ART Scope. In Part II, we'll discuss setting up and sighting in this unique optic. And in Part III we'll head out to the big range to see how well it ranges and compensates for shots out to 600 yards.
Setting Up the ART M1000
To test out the Leatherwood ART (Automatic Ranging and Trajectory) M1000 scope, I mounted it on the very excellent Armalite AR-10 NM (National Match) rifle. The ammo was Hornady TAP in .308 Win. (168 gr.). That's all best quality stuff, so there's no reason this rig shouldn't shoot — and shoot well.
To mount the scope on the gun, the ART M1000 has two large knurled thumbscrews used to tighten the base — which is actually integrated as one-piece with the scope — onto the Picatinny rail of the rifle.
What I liked about this: It was fast and didn't require any tools. What I didn't like: After the first dozen or so shots you need to check and slightly retighten as the fasteners and lock washers settle in. However, the scope does ship with split washers and butterfly wingnuts for a more secure mount.
Having done this, next step is to calibrate the cam to your chosen caliber and load. A table in the instructions makes it easy to find the correct load and indicates the corresponding code. For the 168 gr. .308 it was #420.
In the accompanying photo you can see how the calibration ring is loosened and rotated to line up with the arrow on the power ring. Simply re-tighten and you're calibrated.
Later on, when we shoot at distance, we'll have the option to tweak this cam setting based on an actual flight performance of our load/gun in our environmental conditions. Next Page

With some trial and error, Borntrager was able to learn not only the art of beekeeping but also insect breeding while in Tennessee.
Over the years, his honey harvesting techniques, as well as breeding abilities, have improved.
When Borntrager left Tennessee, he left his bees behind but not his interest in them.
Soon he established new hives in Texas, and today he has 300 hives spread around Bee and Live Oak counties.
From the hives, he is able to obtain honey, wax and the materials needed to make chapstick.
In a good year, Borntrager said the hives can produce 100 pounds of honey.
But bees, like everything else, are temperamental and don't like the drought. To make a good amount of honey, the bees need to have rain and a spring of blooming plants to pollinate.
If the year has been dry, Borntrager will supplement the bees with additional food.
"I feed them high fructose corn syrup or sugar water or a pollen substitute," he said.
He said the last time his bees produced 100 pounds of honey was in 2004.
Besides making products for himself, Borntrager also sells bees and raises queens that are sold to beekeepers in Corpus Christi and San Antonio as well as shipped all over the county. He said that just last week he shipped a queen and bees to a keeper in Florida.
Making a new hive or "nuc," as Borntrager calls it, takes some skill. First, he must remove some of the frames from an established colony and place them into a separate super box. The frames removed must contain honey, eggs, larvae and, of course, bees.
Once in the new super box, the worker bees will start feeding the larvae royal jelly. The larvae are fed that for the first three days and, after that, the bee that is selected the queen will continue to be fed only royal jelly every day while the others will have a more diversified diet. The larvae that have their diet changed after three days become the worker bees.
Feeding the queen only the royal jelly allows her to grow larger in size and allows her ovaries to develop so she will be sexually mature.
Once the queen matures, Borntrager goes in and marks her either with a number or colored dot so she is easily identifiable in the hive.
Early on, he keeps the nucs in an outbuilding on his property so they are protected from the elements and development is ensured.
After a nuc is established with the queen, it can be moved outside.
Borntrager is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to knowledge about beekeeping, bee breeding and honey harvesting.
He is ready to share his knowledge and love of bees with people and will host beekeeping workshops over the summer. The products he produces from his active hives are also for sale in the shop on the Borntrager land off Gaitan Lane in south Bee County.
Christina Rowland is the regional editor at the Bee-Picayune and can be reached at 358-2550, ext. 119, or at email@example.com.

I am visiting family for Christmas and nursing DD on demand. Everything was going well until Wednesday night. I started feeling tenderness in my right breast in the afternoon and by evening it was super painful and I started getting these horrible chills. Baby wasn't willing to nurse so I pumped and got an ounce. The breast still felt terrible. My DH knew I wasn't feeling well and authorized my parents to feed formula and she had 4 oz. I thought I was going to break sobbing when I heard this because I needed her to nurse. I took her to bed with me and she finally nursed later that night which was very painful but felt better each time she nursed and the chills went away. By morning she had nursed quite a few times on that side and the breast was just a little tender.
Thursday she nursed on that side and the breast stopped being tender altogether. I didn't notice a breast preference though I wasn't timing it or anything.
Yesterday, Friday, she stopped wanting to nurse on this side. She'd latch on and turn away, latch on, suck a few times and turn away. She sucked for quite awhile once and then seemed restless and when I offered the other breast she vigorously ate. And the rest of the day was like this. We were making rounds visiting family and I didn't have a pump handy.
Now this morning, Saturday, I started getting really worried when she refused this breast again so I pumped that side for 25 minutes and got hardly anything
Is it possible I lost all milk in a day? Any suggestions for what I can do. She is sleeping so I just has her dreamfeed that side but she was hardly sucking. I am using a PISA but I have a Symphony at home and we are flying back Monday. The symphony is much better getting milk out but I didn't even get half an ounce from the PISA.
Anyone experienced this? The chills I had with engorgement were awful but since it went away I figured it's not an infection. ( ?)

Patricia King, adjunct assistant professor English, won the Kore Press 2011 Short Fiction Award for her short story "The Death of Carrie Bradshaw." Kore Press, a publishing company geared toward works by women of diversity, will publish her story as a chapbook in fall 2011.
Out of more than 300 submitted manuscripts, King's story was selected the winner by contest judge, teacher and award-winning author Antonya Nelson. She noted, "'The Death of Carrie Bradshaw' is a story full of humor, insight, an act of god, and a great cast of major and minor characters. A rarity in short fiction, it manages to feel uplifting at closure without one unearned moment. A treat." King's short story has previously received recognition as a finalist and honorable mention in various contests.

Hi everyone. We have been doing great since I last popped in on the boards in Dec. I do have some changes I want to get your advice on. I will give you the short of it and please feel free to ask for more info. I really would like your advice.
I have a 5mo exclusively bf., SAHM & we cosleep & haven't pumped until this week.
until 2-3 weeks ago this was 'basically' how things went:
daytime-feed every3 to 31/2 hrs. napped in b/ween feedings
always shorter naps of 45 min.
went down at 8p.m. woke to feed and back down somewhere b/w 1-2a.m. and then later b/w 4-6a.m.
as of 3 weeks ago, this is what is happening:
daytime-wanting to nurse every 2-2 1/2 hrs (but only one side--keeping the room distraction free too) short naps throughout day
goes down at 8 p.m. and wakes to feed every 2 hours through out the night.
She uses a paci and I try that, doesn't work until after she nurses.
Started pumping yesterday after her daytime feeds to get what she's not eating. Been drinking plenty of Mother's Milk tea.
For some reason, a few days ago, I had a lot of milk and she went back to the old pattern, only waking once at 2 a.m. She is happy all the time. A bit fussy when she's hungry but not too bad. She is an easy going baby. Diapers are fine and her weight is fine.
This is our 4th child. I never had a baby do this. They were all great night sleepers and nappers. I know each child is different, but I feel like I may need to try something different? I'm listening : )
Happy bf, co-sleeping, baby-wearing, mother to 5mo dd
Happy homeschooling mommy to ds12, ds10, dd7
last, but most impt...Happy wife of 17yrs to my wonderful dh!

Shaver 6100 Wet & dry electric shaver, Series 6000The Philips Norelco Shaver 6100 (formerly called SensoTouch 2D) is an electric wet & dry shaver with a soft touch for a smooth shave. Its Gyroflex 2D technology adjusts easily to the curves of your face and shaves even the shortest stubble.
Designed for comfort
Shaver follows the countours of your faceDesigned to follow the curves of your face, this wet and dry electric shaver uses GyroFlex 2D's two-dimensional contouring technology to pivot in a circular motion and tilt inwards. Its contour-following system adjusts easily to every curve, minimizing both pressure and irritation. The result is a close shave that's easy on your skin.
Innovative technology for a closer shave
Shaves even the shortest stubbleThis shaver delivers a close, comfortable shave with complete coverage and accuracy. It features DualPrecision heads with slots to shave the normal hairs and holes to shave even the shortest stubble.
Gets below the skin, for a closer shaveThe patented Super Lift and Cut dual blade system lifts hairs to cut comfortably below skin level, while the low-friction SkinGlide shaving surface slides smoothly along your skin. As a finishing touch, use the precision-trimmer feature for your mustache and sideburns.
Protective seal for wet or dry shaving
Comfortably shaves - wet or dryThis shaver lets you shave any way you want. The AquaTec seal gives you the option of either a comfortable dry shave or a refreshing wet shave with shaving cream or gel. No matter which you choose, Series 6000's slim, non-slip grip makes for easy handling.
Cordless convenience
Charges fully in one hourWith Shaver 6100, you'll enjoy the convenience of Lithium-ion power operation at home or on the road. One hour of charging provides up to 40 minutes of shaving time, and a 3-minute quick-charge option gives you enough power for a single shave. The two-level battery display lets you know when the battery is full and shows a low-battery warning when it's time to recharge.
Travel-friendly design
Voltage automatically adjustsThe Shaver 6100 wet and dry electric shaver is designed with an internal hair collection chamber to help keep your bathroom sink neat and tidy. The razor itself is easy to clean. Just use water and the included brush. An excellent travel companion, the Shaver 6100 features a travel lock, protective cap, and storage pouch for safe portability. Shaver 6100 also has a worldwide voltage function that automatically adjusts from 100 volts to 240 volts AC, so you're ready for worldwide travel.

Thanks guys, heartz hearts heartzSophie took this one in an alley by a highway. I love how the vegetation doesn't look too different from the ones in our yard. Don't believe all suburban stereotypes! A fifth grader once told me she liked our yard because it was overgrown with weeds and looked like a magical place where trolls might dwell. Magical, hmm. Yes, yes I like that. *deep in thought*

I'm not extremely familiar with C. wanneri, but just from photos, it sure looks just like it. Were there some other details (besides the longevity) that made it seem to be a possible hybrid? Does the owner of the plant send seeds to the seedex? I'm always curious if these individuals that act differently than most of their tribe pass on traits like that.
Campanula species - various.
Hi....just back from a nearby hike and happened upon this sweet little Campanula. The flower is really more blue than the photo represents. It was growing in a pretty dry woodland up about 500'. The stem is about 12-14" long and it was a bit sprawling. The foliage is very narrow and about 2-3" long.
I tries finding an ID but the closest I came was C. aparinoides, the marsh bluebell. This was definitley not growing in moist soil.
So any help with an ID would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :D
I'm not familiar with C. aparinoides but here is some more detailed info on it; it seems the inconspicuously toothed leaves may be significant:
When I zoom in on the photo, I can't make out any toothing on the leaves (not to say it may not be there).
Have you ruled out C. rotundifolia? The linear upper leaves (only the basal ones are rounded at all) and general flower characteristics, along with the habitat, appear to be a reasonable fit.
Campanula trogerae x betulifolia, with both pink and white flowers:

The flowers tend more toward outfacing, and the inflorescense structure is not blatantly pronounced. (While unmistakable in the biennial, it's almost hidden in this one.) No expert here, either, but it makes for good conversation...
Some pics of C. wanneri I have grown:
Ev donates seed to the NARGS seed ex every year, but I don't think she's ever sent this one. I checked the last two years, at least, and she hasn't.
I wonder if Elizabeth Oliver is the one I see from time to time sold as a "temporary" flowering plant like a poinsettia or kalanchoe? It sure looks like it.
What is that deeply toothed lance leaf (or leaflet) plant behind the Campanula xtymsonii?
Hi, Rick! It's Sanguisorba tenuifolia 'Pink Elephant' (assuming I'm keying in on the right one).
Oh, that rang a bell... I think I recall hearing of Campanula 'Haylodgensis' being sold that way, to the extent that people seem not to even realize it's a hardy perennial. I wonder if that's it?
Yes Lori, that would be it, a sanguisorba. I could have thought of it, but no... :D
----- thanks (about your ID suggestion for the campanula, too)
A few campanulas looking good now as summer gets into its stride. Campanula garganica 'Dickson's Gold' is one of those plants that just glows, a perfect combination of foliage and flower; 'Timsbury Perfection' is a seedling raised by Graham Nicholls, whose knowledge of campanulas is unrivalled, from a form of rotundifolia - my picture does it less than justice but it is a delicate and rather refined plant with neat foliage; and 'Covadonga', one of the most richly coloured of all campanulas, collected in Spain by Clarence Elliott over 70 years ago but rarely cultivated in recent times. Again it has that beautiful airy neatness about it - definitely a plant to propagate up.

How does it work?
There's 50% off Goats and more in our half price gift sale. But don't worry, you won't be giving half a goat. The money donated towards half price Oxfam Unwrapped gifts will be used, whenever possible, to secure donations from a partner of Oxfam thanks to something called co-funding. This means that when you buy a half price gift a partner of Oxfam will donate the other half (or possibly even more).
Some of our partners agree to donate towards our work on the condition that we're able to co-fund a project. For example they might say "we'll pay for 50% of the project, but Oxfam needs to pay for the other 50%". This means that if we can't raise our share of the funding we lose the other 50% from the donors. And that's why your donations are so vital. The money we raise in the half price sale will go towards these co-funded projects, whenever possible, and help us to raise even more donations to support our life-changing work.
Who is the donor?
A range of donors offer co-funding. They include the UK governments Department for International Development, the European Union, as well as private trusts and charitable foundations, to name just a few.
Can you give me an example?
Money raised in last year's gift sale helped to support one of our projects in Niger, helping to make sure that children can access the education they deserve. For every £1 contributed to the project by Oxfam (thanks to the donations given in the half price sale), our partner SIDA contributed another £9!
Terms and conditions
1. We will endeavour to use the income raised from the 50% off sale to enable co-funding. However, in exceptional circumstances, this may not be possible.
2. Income raised from the sale will be spent on the category in accordance with the 'how we spend your money' section [http://www.oxfam.org.uk/shop/oxfam-unwrapped/how-we-spend-your-money].
3. The offer is for the specified Oxfam Unwrapped gifts only. It does not include other Oxfam Unwrapped gifts, little extras, donated items on the online shop, cards, calendars or diaries.
4. The selected gifts are non-exchangeable with any of our other products from Oxfam's Online Shop.
5. The offer is available for a limited time only: Friday 9 December 2016 – Monday 19 December 2016
6. Available online and by phone only. This offer is not available in our network of Oxfam shops across the UK.

Fire Chief Kenneth G. Silva announced Friday that he will retire from the Honolulu Fire Department on Dec. 31, 2012.
The Honolulu Fire Commission appointed Chief Silva as the Fire Chief on Jan. 18, 2006. Chief Silva will have over 31 years of service with the HFD when he retires in December.
"I feel honored to have had the privilege to serve as Fire Chief and work as a public servant for the City of Honolulu," said Chief Silva. "I have enjoyed being part of the Honolulu Fire Department family these many years and consider working with the members of the Honolulu Fire Department to be the most rewarding experience I've ever had. I leave with the confidence that the department rests in good hands and will continue to provide excellent service to our community."
Chief Silva said the Honolulu Fire Commission will work with the City Human Resources Department to begin the process of selecting the next Fire Chief and that he will continue to work with the Commission and his Executive Staff to ensure an orderly transition.
Under Chief Silva's command, the Honolulu Fire Department received its second reaccreditation; worked to pass an ordinance banning most consumer fireworks on Oahu; developed an All-Hazards Incident Management Team program; worked with Federal, State, and County agencies to plan and prepare for public safety needs at the Asia-Pacific Economic Conference; acquired the HFD's first engines with compressed air foam systems; and introduced the HFD's Smoke Alarms for Everyone program.
Silva began his service with the fire department on November 16, 1981 and worked his way up through the ranks as a Fire Fighter, Captain, and Battalion Chief, before becoming an Assistant Chief in 2002. He was the fire department's Manager of the Year in 2001. He has a bachelor's degree from University of Hawaii-West Oahu and master's degree in public administration from UH-Manoa.

Theater Review: It's Irish, it's inevitableBy Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | July 26,2013Jim Lowe / Staff Photo
David Connor, left, is Jack Boyle and Juan Schwartz is his fair-weather friend Joxer in Unadilla Theatres Juno and the Paycock.Sean OCaseys 1924 classic Juno and the Paycock is a firsthand look at life in Dublin during the Irish Civil War. What begins as a light comedy spirals downhill into a tragedy nearly universally shared in that beleaguered country.
Unadilla Theatre has mounted a powerful production of this gritty and real drama that benefits from some fine dramatic performances.
This drama, which became a 1930 Alfred Hitchcock film, was written in 1922 when Ireland was not only dealing with an internal war that pitted neighbor against neighbor, it was suffering from deep poverty. The Boyle family, living in a Dublin tenement, is emblematic.
Jack Boyle, the blowhard family patriarch, says he cannot work because of the pains in his legs. Daughter Mary is on strike over the treatment of a fellow worker, and son Johnny has lost an arm and smashed his hip in the war, so he cannot work either. It is left to Juno, the mother, to not only support but care for her hapless family.
When a lawyer comes onto the scene telling the Boyles they have inherited a small fortune from a cousin, it seems that the familys fortunes have changed. Jack can not only drink on the credit engendered by his expectations, he is able to refurnish his home as well as his wardrobe. Mary is courted by the lawyer and falls in love. Everything is looking up, and Jack the Paycock or Peacock is lording it over his neighbors.
But things are not what they seem, and the results are catastrophic. What began as comedy ends as tragedy seemingly inevitable in an Irish play.
The Unadilla production, directed by playwright Jeanne Beckwith, has the community theaters trademark mixed-level cast, ranging from professional to rank amateur. Still, Unadilla remains Vermonts Mecca for great plays.
At Wednesdays mid-run performance, David Connor delivered a potent performance as Jack Boyle, one that made this narcissist almost sympathetic. Conversely, Nika Allen (a stage name) as the beleaguered Juno managed the delicate balance between logical thinking and protecting her children with love of her ungrateful husband.
Juan Schwartz (another stage name) was essentially the court jester as the opportunistic Joxer, offering charming comic relief in this doomed situation. Claire Demarais gave real dimension to the betrayed daughter Mary, while Vincent Broderick made Johnnys fear of retribution real.
Unadillas Juno and the Paycock offers an unusual opportunity to see one of the great Irish plays.
Unadilla Theatre
Unadilla Theatre presents Juno and the Paycock, the Sean OCasey classic drama, through Aug. 3 at its old playhouse, 501 Blachly Road in Marshfield. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays.

Split, But I'm Still Upset
Lose 1st, Win 2, Lost Last
After that upsetting loss in Game 1, I knew it would be difficult for my Yanks to pull off a series win. They were close..so close…but they, and I, will have to settle for a split.
Game 2 was a nice bounce-back win for the Yankees. CC Sabathia gave it his all and proved once again why I call him "C Cy." My Hefty-Lefty allowed just 2 runs in 8 innings. The offense was clutch, with the 4 consecutive 2-out singles in the 5th inning by Swisher, Teixeira, Cano, and Posada. The Yanks went on to win it 5-2.
CC should win the Cy Young if he keeps this up.
Game 3 was the Yankees typical offensive explosion off Josh Beckett. And unlike the last time Beckett pitched, he only hit 1 Yankee batter: Robinson Cano. Last time, he angered me…but let's not go there again. The Yankee offense pushed across 7 runs off Beckett. Lance Berkman finally found his stroke, going 3-4 with a run and an RBI. It was nice to see him start to hit. He was one of many Yankees who had a nice day at the dish.
But perhaps the most pleasantly surprising aspect of Game 3 was the starter, spot starter, Mr. Dustin Moseley. He wooed me in his first start, but didn't pitch too well in his second start as a Yankee. This time, he was called upon on short notice to make the start for the injured A.J. Burnett. And this time, he shined. Oh, how he shined! In the field he made 3 exceptional plays, and he pitched pretty well, too. Moseley pitched 6.1 innings, and allowed just 2 runs. What a night for this little cutie! The Yankees went on to win this one 7-2.
Moseley is a beeeeast ♥
That brings us to the finale. I was hoping that since the Yanks won 2 in a row, and since the offense wasn't scuffling, that they would have a good day. And I hoped that Phil Hughes would be his Philthy old self. I was right about half of it, the pitching half. But as everyone knows, getting a 50 on a test isn't going to cut it.
Hughes allowed 2 runs in the 2nd inning. Maybe Jorge Posada's throwing error had something to do with it? Maybe. But that's not why the Yankees lost. Like I said the other day, don't blame things on one guy – this is a team effort! And the team couldn't hit for their life today.
The Yankees had bases loaded with none out in the 7th, and FAILED to score a run. Talk about frustrating…
In the 8th, Mark Teixeira provided a spark of hope with his big fly off Daniel Bard, which made the score 2-1.
Jonathan Papelbon, who is #1 on my "If I could kick someone in the balls list," came in for the 4 out save today. I figured, "Hey! This is good. The more opportunities the Yanks have against Papelbon, the better. He sucks."
So in the 9th, Curtis Granderson leads off with a strikeout. Very productive…Then Jeter walks, and I begin to get a little excited. I wanted to see some pie today…but from there, it went downhill.
Nick Swisher struckout for the 2nd out, and then Tex….he put up such a tough at bat…but of course, it ended in a K. I somewhat expected this, but still – when I saw it happen, I exploded.
A little background info on what was going on in my living room during the 9th: My dog was eating his dinner in the living room and he tends to make a mess; dropping kibble from his flews, spewing water when he shakes and his drool goes flying, typical dog stuff. So we put a towel under his bowl so the customary mess would be easier to clean up. He was eating "Turducken," which sounds gross, but actually smells quite tasty. My mother was also in the room, and I told her to get out because I thought she was a jinx (she listened). My older brother was watching the game with me.
Words cannot describe my hatred for you…
Okay, back to the game: the microsecond after Tex struckout, I lost it. I just went berserk. The throwing of my shoes at the TV is normal for me, and of course I did that. But that didn't make me feel better: that intense hatred of losing, and that hatred for Papelbon, lingered on. In anger mode, I scanned the room for something else to violently thrust at the screen. Then I saw it: the towel. My dog finished eating, leaving a trail of Turducken embedded into the towel.
Papelbon was going his little fist pump, when SPLAT!
The Turducken-covered towel hit him square in the face, thanks to my powerful throw, and I screamed:
Then, still enraged, I jumped off the couch, picked up the towel, and began whipping Papelbon's stupid face through the TV.
For some reason, my brother found this funny. And he told me to write this here for the world to see. Why? Well, now that the game has been over for a little while, and my anger is slowly subsiding, I guess it is kind of funny. Kind of. He sure thought so. He's still laughing at it.
So the Yankees lost the finale 2-1, and I clearly was not thrilled. Any time the Yankees can ruin Papelbon's day, I'm happy. But that didn't happen today. I really wanted to win this series, but you can't win 'em all.
I'll have to get over it. These random bursts of animosity really are not healthy.
Although they are kind of funny.

Turduken? Never heard of that one, but then I don't have a dog! I laughed when you said your mother was a jinx, but I don't think we can blame her for today's loss. It was all on the Yanks.
win lose it doesn't matter you just have to hate the sox, no matter how i feel about the Yankees it's 10 fold on the sox… I just want Hughes to do well, I have him slated to be a major force in MLB pitching over the oncoming years….
Yeah, the Yanks better wake up in the rival games if they expect to repeat.
Nice post, hopefully we can take it to the Rangers and show them who the best team in the AL really is.
The split wasn't perfect, but it meant the Sox didn't gain ground, and as long as the season progresses and they don't gain ground, that's good news.
cc pitched a heck of a game the other day. this is what make sox-yanks the best rivalry in all of sports. always filled with adrenaline and hatred to have no clear cut winner come out on top with a split just leaves bragging rights to be fought over for the next series
OMG Virginia! I started laughing when I read about what happened to the rest of the Turdukin but my side told to me "easy.." That is funny!
I hate four game series and two game series. I don't like splits. I was home Monday so I watched the game but I was like "What?" Is weird having a fourth game on Monday.

Is it simply a list of rules or is there more to it? When you were
admitted to BYU–Idaho, you promised, with your signature, to live the
Honor Code. So it's important that you truly understand what the
Honor Code is and why we agree to live by it.
The CES Honor Code is actually quite simple. As a matter of personal commitment, faculty, staff, and students of BYU, BYU-Hawaii, BYU-Idaho, and the LDS Business College seek to demonstrate in daily living on and off campus those moral virtues encompassed in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In essence, we try to live by the Thirteenth Article of Faith which states, "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men …. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things".
The CES Honor Code
- Be honest
- Live a chaste and virtuous life
- Obey the law and all campus policies
- Use clean language
- Respect others
- Abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee and substance abuse
- Participate regularly in church services
- Observe Dress and Grooming Standards
- Encourage others in their commitment to comply with the Honor Code
The CES Honor Code exists to educate students in an atmosphere consistent with the ideals and principles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a condition of admission and employment, students and employees of BYU-Idaho are expected to live by the Honor Code standards approved by the Board of Trustees "at all times… and in all places" (Mosiah 18:9). Individuals who are not members of the Church are also expected to maintain the same standards of honor, integrity, morality, and consideration of others.
Each CES Institution is charged with forming its own policies founded on the standards outlined in the CES Honor Code. These standards are unique to each institution and are defined and approved by the Board of Trustees. Each institution has the discretion to implement standards regarding dress and grooming, housing, academic honesty, etc. that are unique to that institution.

Owner Testimonials
I received my VAOM-1C and boy does it sing! I am the proud and happy owner of several top-notch Martins: a D35 Johnny Cash, a HD28e, a solid DCPA4R as well as a 1973 00-18. I also had a 2003 D18 which I sold because it wasn't so good. I was expecting the VAOM-1C to sound ok but not more. "Can't have the best of both worlds" I thought. Well, now I do. It is just exquisite, so melodic and yet with a surprising sustain and expressivity. It is a true jewel at a more than decent price! All the Best and THANK YOU!
Jean-Dominique Michel, Switzerland - VAOM-1C
My wife and I travel a lot and in the past have had issues with taking a guitar with me......they're either too bulky for the overhead compartment, or I have to let the luggage handlers toss around my guitars like they're a bag of beans. I recently purchased one of your VAOM-04 guitars, and I'm totally impressed with the sound and the playability of this instrument. My first choice is my Martins, but since I received the VAOM-O4 I haven't put it down. I would recommend this guitar to any player, even if you don't travel that much. I'm looking forward to my next trip. I may just spend most of the trip playing this guitar.
Great Job Voyage-Air.
- Tony H. - VAOM-04
It's considered a "travel guitar," and it truly is a remarkably portable instrument; however, that label does it a disservice, because honestly, it's a damn nice guitar. It just happens to have a nifty set of hinges that allow the neck to fold over on the top, making it far more compact and transport friendly. I love my Telair!
- Anthony K. Sandy, UT
I am pleasantly surprised at the quality and genius behind this amazingly compact, but great sounding guitar!! I work in the movie industry and travel quite a bit, and being able to bring my guitar as a carry-on wherever I go is just what I've been looking for! The overall sound is amazingly rich for its size, and the folding mechanics work like a dream! If you're wondering if it's worth getting, the answer is a big YES!!
- Nancy F. Santa Monica, CA - VAMD-04
I bought a VAD-04 strictly for travel and light use. The day I bought it I paid a visit to United Airlines. As I was walking up to the counter the clerk said that he had seen these before and that there was no problem taking it on as carry-on. .I think that this is a great value and a nice sounding piece All in all it is a winner in my book. I've heard less sound from much more expensive instruments. I may mike it because I think it compares to my Taylor 814ce and Breedlove it surprised me!
- Michael, Columbus, NE - VAD-04
I travel a lot, and for years, I schlepped my heavy Goodall Jumbo, always worried about it getting damaged and stolen. I recently purchased a Voyage Air guitar and love it. Its light, gets on planes, and sounds terrific. It has made travelling with a guitar a no-brainer. Even after closing and opening, it stays very close to being in tune. I recommend this guitar to anyone who likes to play wherever they go.
- Stewart, Santa Fe, NM - VAOM-02

Much Ado About Nothing…
Meaningful Yankee talk has definitely been a rarity in recent weeks…
We are rapidly approaching the start of training camp, so hopefully, we'll have more to talk about than we've experienced in the past month and a half. Of course, I don't really want a repeat of last spring's A-Rod saga with the steroids admission and hip surgery.
As we head to camp, many positions are locked up. However, there are questions about left and center fields. I know that Curtis Granderson is a centerfielder, but there's obviously been talk about his possible move to left so we'll put center in the ? mark column. Otherwise, all positions are set. If the season started today, the lineup would look like this:
Derek Jeter-ss

With this configuration, I am with the majority that still want the Yanks to find a way to bring Rocco Baldelli to camp.

I read the article about how excited Hank Steinbrenner was about the Yankees' off-season additions. However, I have to admit that I remain a bit skeptical. The off-season losses were huge. The Yankees will definitely miss Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon. I think the team will regret not bringing back at least one of those players. Also, in Buster Olney's blog post yesterday, he stated that as the dust has settled on the AZ-Det-NY trade, all of the players were flawed. From a character-standpoint, Curtis Granderson is a first class addition…no argument from me. However, he has trouble with lefties and he strikes out too much. He'll need to improve in these areas for long-term success in the Bronx. Javier Vazquez is a quality pitcher and he strengthens the rotation, however, the fact remains that he struggled in the Bronx during his last go-around so he still has to prove himself regardless of his subsequent success in Chicago and Atlanta. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox have clearly improved themselves so the gap between these two teams has probably faded… but don't tell Julia that I said that!

If you missed Harold Reynolds interview with Derek Jeter on MLB.com, I encourage you to listen to it. Hat tip to Jane Heller, Confessions of a She-Fan for the heads-up about the interview. DJ shows why he is a legend in our midst. He has a quality that clearly sets him apart from others. Sure, there are other players like him (Chase Utley immediately comes to mind), but I am glad to have witnessed the entire career of a great player. I hope the Yankees find a way to ensure that DJ ends his career in pinstripes. During the interview with Harold Reynolds, DJ mentioned how strange it was to see Don Mattingly in a Dodgers uniform. I don't really want to experience seeing DJ, as a player, in another uniform. After he retires, if he decides to stay in baseball, he'll most likely wear different colors but I can deal with that. Don Mattingly remains my favorite living Yankee, and his presence in Dodger gear doesn't diminish that respect. I hope that Donnie Baseball is the next Dodgers manager.

Speaking of the Dodgers, the Yankees travel to Chavez Ravine this year to face Joe Torre and company. I definitely want to make the trip to see at least one game of the series. It should be very exciting times.
What else is there to talk about? Despite my beloved Minnesota Vikings losing to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship, I am pulling for the Saints in the Super Bowl. I think the Vikings could have and should have beat the Saints, but that's water under the bridge at this point. While I want the Saints to win, do I think they'll beat the Colts? Not really. Peyton and Crew are simply too superior to allow for an upset. So, while I want the Saints, I am prepared for a Colts victory. This is one time that I hope I am wrong…
I have tickets to see Daughtry and Lifehouse in concert in early May. I am very excited to see Daughtry perform. I still can't understand how Taylor Hicks beat Chris Daughtry on American Idol, but Chris has his revenge. He has clearly had the best career of any of his AI opponents, and stands among the other AI greats like Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson.
Pardon me for saying this, but if I were New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan, I would have thrown the finger too!…

You think Granderson will bat fifth? I'd rather have Jorge hitting behind A-Rod and swap Grandy for Johnson since he has more speed. I know Johnson has an unbelievable eye and gets on base a lot though. I guess we'll see what Joe does with the lineup soon enough!
You are going to love Daughtry in concert.
He is really high energy and does some great covers of current tunes during the performances.
When he came to the Trop to start his 2009 Tour, he did a rendition of Lady Gaga's "Pokerface" that was amazing.
Seriously, you will love the show.
I also think the Yankees should give Rocco a Spring Training invite.
The guy is a gamer and can make believers out of you with his hustle and his uncanny ability to get timely hits. Still such a crime his illness has labeled him like this.

I am glad you reminded me of that interview with D.J. I read it in Jane's blog but I can't watch videos at work and I meant to watch it at home. He looks great in that video that he can still play for years to come. I like him even more after that interview! Thanks!
I'd love to meet you when you come to Dodger Stadium!
I do hope that Mattingly becomes the next Dodger manager!
Mattingly is being primed to be the next Dodger coach, I believe. I hope to see all you Yankee fans at Dodger Stadium. I, for one, will be at the games. Please let me know if you will be there.
Don't tell me what Scott?😉 I can no wait for baseball to begin again! Truck day for the Red Sox is this Friday – I just hope they can get through the snow to Florida! I am SO glad you were wrong about the Colts! It was great to see the Saints win the Super Bowl! As a Patriots fan, the thought of Peyton Manning and the Colts winning was too much to bear!
Is it April yet? Have a great day!
lol. Nothing says New York like Rocco Badelli! Just the name makes me feel like a corned-beef on rye. I could possibly see Nick being swiched with Granderson in future, but your lineup looks accurate to me. Cool photos.
Take Care,
I hope you do enjoy Daughtry! I've liked what little I've heard from him (not being an AI viewer)! I picked the Colts to win also, but I was certainly glad I was also wrong!
Take care, Scott! It will be entertaining to watch you and Julia go at it again in 2010!🙂
