Members thank God for lightning strike that reinvented church
PHILADELPHIA — This city's Trinity Memorial Church was failing in the summer of 1994, and the few dozen remaining congregants knew it.
They talked about selling off the oak pews, or even the chocolate-brown Victorian building itself, but the conversation kept going in circles. The members of the little Episcopal church just couldn't agree on what to do.
Then, in the midst of their collective soul-searching, the historic church and its congregation were saved, oddly enough, by a bolt of lightning.
The colossal strike was part of the assault from a ferocious summer storm that ravaged Philadelphia late on the evening of July 27. The fire bolt hit the chimney first, then traveled along the main wooden beam in the peaked roof. A spark smoldered undetected for hours before bursting into flames so immense they cast a curtain of light over the entire neighborhood. By morning, the roof was a charred black skeleton and fragments from the elaborate stained-glass windows carpeted the church floor.
Instead of seeing the fire as a sign to call it quits, the congregation vowed to reinvent its 1874 building as something more than just another church where people go to sit on hard benches once a week.
On a recent Sunday, Trinity celebrated the 20th anniversary of its transformation into a bustling community hub that operates in concert with a nonprofit called the Trinity Center for Urban Life. Rebuilt with a more flexible interior, better acoustics, and modern lighting, it is now home to a diverse collection of arts groups, a prestigious preschool, and a homeless shelter, as well as a small, but stable, religious congregation.
"There isn't a time when this building is not being used for something," the Rev. Donna Maree said.
'Very special'
In a city where about 800 historic churches and synagogues are struggling to keep their doors open, Trinity's comeback strategy is increasingly seen as a model.
"What they've done is very special," said Robert Jaeger, president of Partners for Sacred Places, a Philadelphia group that counsels religious congregations around the country.
Instead of bemoaning the dwindling number of practicing Episcopalians in the neighborhood, he said, Trinity succeeded because it used the reconstruction effort to reach out to a wider community. Creating the nonprofit was key, enabling the church to receive grants and tax-deductible donations.
Preserving history
Before the fire, Trinity was a typical Victorian church building, dark and uninviting, said Kaki Kriebel, a longtime member. The front doors were heavy slabs of carved oak painted red. "You had to be really determined to go inside," she recalled.
Members knew refashioning the church into a neighborhood center required a friendlier architectural welcome. But because the building is a historic structure designed by Henry Augustus Sims, a renowned 19th-century Philadelphia architect, they were also obligated to rebuild the damaged church according to exacting preservation standards.
The solution was to find ways to inject a modern sensibility into the Victorian building, said church members John Kohlhas and John Randolph, architects who advised the congregation.
Members who had been so reluctant to give up their pews before readily agreed to replace them with movable chairs and a fold-up altar so the nave could become a multipurpose performance space.

Chantz Ramberg
Chantz Robert Ramberg, 21, of White Earth, left this earth far too early on Tuesday, June 25, 2013.
He was born Feb. 13, 1992, in Tioga, the son of Charles and Roberta (Feiring) Ramberg. He was a member of First Lutheran Church, White Earth, where he was baptized and confirmed. Chantz attended Tioga schools and graduated from Tioga High School in 2010, where he was a member of the FFA and the football team. He attended Bismarck State College where he received the training to become a certified lineman. Upon graduating, he obtained a job with Mountrail-Williams Electric Cooperative in Stanley.
Chantz loved his family and friends, farming and ranching with his dog Roxy, his job, and just overall living life to the fullest. Throughout Chantz's life he was involved in many activities that he loved. These included 4-H, FFA, tractor driving, showing livestock, football, band and many more. During his time in Bismarck, Chantz enjoyed working for a landscaping company and at the sale barn. He was definitely adventurous and always up for a good time. There was never a dull moment around Chantz and he will always be remembered for his infamous smile.
Chantz is survived by: his parents, Charles and Roberta Ramberg; his brother, Gerard (Jennifer) of Snowflake, Ariz.; his sister, Katie, of White Earth; niece, Olivia; and nephew, James. He also leaves his maternal grandmother, Bernice Feiring of Tioga and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Chantz also leaves behind many close friends.
He was preceded in death by: his maternal grandfather, Robert Feiring, paternal grandparents, George and Olive Ramberg; uncles, Buddy Lawrence, Toby Weidmer, Wayne Ramberg, George Ramberg Jr., Jack Redmond; and aunt, Juanita Feiring.
There will be a gathering today, Sunday, at 5 p.m. at First Lutheran Church in White Earth. Everyone is welcome. The funeral will be held on Monday at 11 a.m. at the First Lutheran Church of Tioga. Burial will be in Kristiansand Cemetery, rural White Earth, Monday at 2 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a memorial in Chantz's name.

Here's how RW members rated this race (98 votes).
In short: Not the best organised race! Not value for money.In full: I thought very poorly organised in the following areas: no portaloos for that number of people is a disgrace. I doubt the Teahouse would have been impressed with the number of runners using their toilet. The bag storage was shoddy and disorganised and as a single woman what would I want with a man's razor and shaving kit? I realise it's "Movember" but there should have been a ladies gift bag as well. Announcements over the speaker system would have been helpful. For £17 I expected a lot more. Date of review: November 14, 2009
In short: Very well organised and friendly race - loved it!In full: Thank goodness the weather held out to make a great race! Very enjoyable, very friendly people and an interesting goody bag for sure! Loved all the Mos. If only I'd felt better (just recovering from a virus) as it would have been a PB for sure with this route.. well, if I survived the big hills!Thank you to everyone involved. I did the Epsom 5K too (same organisers) and these people know how to lay on a good race :-)Date of review: November 14, 2009
In short: Great setting! Liked the hill then 200m straight finish, perfect.Date of review: November 14, 2009
In short: Very well organised park run for charity...In full: We were lucky with the weather, at 8.30am it was belting down but fortunately by race time the sun was out, though the winds were still gusting pretty strongly!The run was three assorted loops around Greenwich Park which was surprisingly hilly we discovered! Although the initial instructions seemed somewhat complicated as you had to navigate the same paths a number of times, in reality it was quite straightforward with marshalls pointing the right way whenever you could have gone astray.Was all on paved paths so no real problem with the wet or mud.Support was fairly limited, which was understandable given the weather though there was some very enthusiastic cheering from some groups!Nice medal, even nicer goodie bag, decent razor with three tubes of grooming products, plus bananas, vitamin water, sweets and chocolates raisins at the end.Was chip timed for the serious runners, and plentiful parking was very straightforward just a few dozen yards from the start... if I had one suggestion would be to reroute the loops so that there wasn't that energy sapping hill at about 9.7km!!All in all hard to fault and for an excellent cause. Date of review: November 14, 2009
In short: If you want a flat 10k, then this is it.In full: Start was a little tricky and bunched - I think more effort should be made to stagger the start. This must be one of the flattest races out there - total ascent cannot have been more than 10m, so a good test of true pace. Race numbers with your name on was a nice touch and the marshalls were highly encouraging. Will certainly be returning next year.Date of review: November 9, 2009
In short: Fun runIn full: Late for registration and start, so just had a good relaxing, run with my dog, (who always enjoys the attention). Great atmosphere and thought the walkers/public were very understanding when getting out of the way! Date of review: October 22, 2009
In short: Nice scenery, nice weather, shame about the puddles!In full: This was my first event for over a year, and I was very impressed. Putting names on race numbers was a nice touch. The course was a little congested in places, but looking at the route, I didn't expect anything else. A lovely autumnal event to blow the cobwebs away.Date of review: October 19, 2009
In short: Great scenery, shame about the early congestion...In full: Efficient staff at the start, very scenic course, beautiful day for running and clearly labelled distance markers unlike my previous event. As mentioned elsewhere the start needs to be looked at, as it wasn't really until 10 mins or so into the race that I finally felt able to go my own pace. Passing places were at a premium in the opening stretch and with some runners sticking together in groups it was really hard to find your own space. As it was I missed my PB by 15 seconds when I probably lost about 2 minutes due to the bunching. Maybe next time we could head south down the river first, so that the field was more strung out before the need to turn? Still, I enjoyed the run and will be back next time. Date of review: October 19, 2009
Date of review: October 19, 2009
In short: A very pleasant way to spend a Saturday morningIn full: Overall well organised. A larger field than I think was expected. The start was a little crowded and the section where runners were going opposite each other after the first turn was a bit of a squeeze at times. After this point though the course was excellent. Very flat, superb scenery and a great way to start the weekend. Nice early start as well. Very enjoyable. Thank you.Date of review: October 18, 2009

Recommend Me Some Holiday Entertainment
I'm away on holiday next week and, frankly, I can't wait. I've been working flat out these past few weeks and the idea of escaping from it all for a short while is very appealing. Plus, y'know, the sun and warmth of somewhere other than Scotland won't go amiss. Someone told me we had a sunny day here once but I quickly disregarded that as an old wives' tale.
Anyway, of course me being the complete technocrat of Generation Y that I am, as much as I wish I could, I'm simply unable to lie on the beach and contemplate my naval. No sir, I need something to keep me constantly entertained and distract my befuddled mind in-between swimming, napping and stuffing my face hole with the local cuisine. Meditation is not my strong point.
So this is where you fine people come in. I'm desperately scratching my brain for some decent entertainment to keep my occupied during my sunbathing, travel periods and other miscellaneous downtime. I've got a Kindle to use, an iPhone music library to overload and an iPad to show off to everyone I meet so please, help me fill them up with lots of entertaining goodies.
I'm in serious need of some reading material right now and I'm at a loss as to what to move onto next – I'm currently re-reading the entire Wheel of Time saga (I'm on book 11) and I'm getting a bit tired of it. I like to take a break from WoT and read something else and, whilst I do quite fancy something science fiction, I'm completely open to suggestions. Fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, thriller, anything at all. So long as it's not Harry Potter or Twilight.
I'm pretty terrible when it comes to music although my trial subscription to Spotify premium means I can download pretty much anything to my iPhone to listen to offline. Currently I'm enjoying the latest Linkin Park album along with a bluegrass cover of Metallica's greatest hits by a band called Iron Horse. Seriously, it's amazing and well-worth checking out just to hear Enter Sandman played on a ukulele.
I know this is a long shot as music taste is very subjective but if you have any suggestions then I'd love to hear them. I'll pretty much listen to anything other than reggae or Justin Bieber.
I'm currently hooked on Kingdom Rush on the iPhone and iPad and it's definitely one of the best games I've played in a while. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it's basically a fantasy style tower defense game and very, very addictive (I've lost hours of life sitting on the toilet playing it). Highly recommended. Unfortunately, I'm just about to finish it and thus need something else to satisfy my gaming itch.
Anyone able to recommend some good iPad games? I'm obviously a fan of tower defense games, strategy games and RPGs but, like always, I'm open to anything. Also, although I don't really want to game on a laptop, it's looking like I'll have to take mine with me to do a little bit of work whilst I'm away so any suggestions for light-weight, non-online PC games would be welcome too.
Anyhow, suggestions aside I guess all that's left for me now is to pack my bags, do some last minute shopping, tell my wife she looks great in a bikini and ponder if I'm the only weirdo on the planet who needs to take a sack-full of books, games and music with him when he goes away anywhere. Does anyone else do that too?

- House Seasoning:
- 1 cup salt

- 2 cups water
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup quick cooking grits, not instant (recommended: Quaker)
- 1/2 cup butter
DirectionsTo make grillades:
Spray a cast iron Dutch oven with cooking spray.
Season pork with the House Seasoning. Dust the pork with about 1/3 cup of flour and toss lightly. Heat bacon grease and butter. Brown meat in hot fat and remove to a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Leaving fat in Dutch oven, saute bell pepper, onions, celery and garlic. Brown vegetables and remove to bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving a total of 3 tablespoons of fat to make your roux.
To make roux:
Add about 1/4 cup of flour, stirring constantly and slowly until flour is a nice deep brown, being careful not to burn the flour. Slowly add beef broth or water and stir. Bring to a simmer and add back beef and vegetables. Add bay leaves, thyme, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, and dried basil and stir. Add the extra-spicy tomatoes and simmer for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Just before serving, add fresh tomatoes. Remove bay leaves and stir in the parsley. Serve over hot buttered grits in martini glass with a cheese straw garnish, if desired.
Mix all ingredients together.
In a small pot, bring water, milk, and salt to a boil. Slowly stir grits into boiling mixture. Stir continuously and thoroughly until grits are well mixed. Let the pot return to a boil, cover pot with a lid, lower the temperature, and cook for approximately 30 minutes stirring occasionally. Add more water, if necessary.
Grits are done when they have the consistency of smooth cream of wheat. Stir in half the butter and serve with remaining butter divided equally on top of each portion. Serve with fruit or with a savory meal.

Though the summer is supposed to be a time for rest and relaxation, active women often spend the warm months dashing from the office to after-work cocktails, or heading to the gym so they look svelte on the beach.
But, even though your schedule is packed, it's important to take time to choose beauty products that will stand up to the heat (so that you're not constantly reapplying) and also be beneficial to your skin.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends wearing a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher whenever you're venturing out under the sun's rays between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Many facial moisturizers contain a strong SPF and will nourish your skin while guarding against skin damage.
Those who have sensitive eyes who are searching for mascara that will stay put all day and won't irritate their peepers could try tubing mascara. The acrylic-based formula will not flake, smear or smudge and won't require touch-ups throughout your busy day.

Celebrating the American spirit
MARSHALL – It was a time for reflection and remembrance. And for many of the visitors at Memorial Park in Marshall, it was a time to learn. Marshall High School students sat on the curved stones surrounding a beam taken from the wreckage of the World Trade Center as they listened to Craig Schafer speak.
"Things changed that day," Schafer said of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Although the attacks took place in New York City and Washington, D.C., Schafer said, "Minnesota was impacted. If nothing else, we were afraid."
Marshall area residents remembered the events of 9/11 in different ways on Wednesday. A crowd of people gathered for a short prayer service at Memorial Park at noon. Members of the Modern Woodmen invited law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency medical responders to speak at the Adult Community Center. And throughout the day, groups of students from Marshall schools made trips to see the 9/11 Memorial in Memorial Park.
"People need to understand the depth of the day," Schafer said. He spoke to students – many of whom were too young to remember the terror attacks – about the meaning behind the memorial.
He called their attention to the pavers marked with stars that surround the memorial – one for each of the nearly 3,000 victims of the 9/11 attacks.
"Every one of those bricks represents someone like you or me," Schafer said.
He also invited students to walk around the park and come touch the beam if they chose.
"Sixty years from now, our hope is that a class like you can come here and lay hands on this beam," he said.
The visitors at the park Wednesday were mainly sophomores and juniors at Marshall High School. Rick Purrington, a teacher at MHS who helped to coordinate the class visits, estimated more than 200 students were in attendance during the course of the day.
A group of third-grade students from Holy Redeemer School also came to learn about the 9/11 Memorial. Teacher Mary Surprenant told students that Sept. 11 was a time to "think, pray, and remember."
"Patriot Day and Sept. 11 will always be a part of your history now," Surprenant said. "That beam right there represents a lot of people's lives."
Marshall students said getting close to a piece of the World Trade Center helped bring home the reality of the buildings' collapse.
"Being able to see it and see how much the metal is just bent . . . it's amazing," said MHS student Isaac Smith. He and classmate George Bramhall said it was impressive to see a part of recent history in Marshall.
"I feel it's a real honor to be out here," Smith said.
"They don't really have (memorials like this) in a lot of places, so it's really special," said student Hanna Peterson.
For some students, Wednesday was their first visit to the memorial.
"I've only ever seen it by driving by. I haven't come in here before," said student Seth Popowski.
"I didn't know what all the symbols meant," Peterson said.
The day wasn't just about remembering, speakers at Wednesday's events said. It was also about the hope and resilience of American people as the country moves forward.
"We want today to be about celebrating the American spirit," said Marshall Fire Chief Marc Klaith, speaking to an audience gathered in the Adult Community Center in Marshall.
As he addressed the audience, Jim Marshall of the Marshall Police Department reflected on how coping with disaster tended to bring out the character of people affected by it.
"We always fall back to our basic training," Marshall said, whether on a professional or a personal level. There were many people who stepped up to respond to the 9/11 attacks, with some of the biggest sacrifices shown by the passengers on United Flight 93, which crashed in Shanksville, Pa. The passengers stopped the hijacked plane from reaching its target, all while knowing they would not survive, Marshall said.
"That was a true testament to their character," he said.

Prior to hearing this, I would have bet just about any amount of money that aluminized steel had the same thermal conductivity as regular steel.
Preheat is great, but recovery is another story. If you need to wait 15-20 minutes between pizza's then that becomes an issue. That's an experiment I'd like to see done.
i want to try on Copper pan for pizza baking, Any experience on this ...like making pizza on copper pan offcourse copper is expensive metal for pans. But i would like to try on it

Are you trying to find the right way to explain Storage Management concepts to your friends and family at the next holiday cocktail party?
One of my readers made the following request:
Hi Tony,
Having been around IBM Storage for some time, I was wondering if by chance you might recall an old recording about the "Hierarchical Sock Manager", I have a vague recollection, but I can't remember who did it or when, which means that I have no way to ask if anyone has a copy. This was an analogy comparing levels of storage of socks (i.e. footwear) to dresser drawers and boxes in the garage. Sound familiar?
I had mentioned this video in my 2007 blog post [Re-arranging the Sock Drawer], so I felt I needed to at least make an effort to track it down.
As it turns out, the IBM sales executive in the video, Charles "C.D." Larson, now works for another company (Hitachi Data Systems). Thanks to social media, I was able get in contact with him, and he sent me a copy of this 1989 video, and granted me permission to post it on YouTube.
To put it on YouTube, I had to convert the VOB file to something YouTube could understand. Since I run Linux, I was able to use the [ffmpeg] utility to do this. The result is now an [18-minute video], uploaded for all to enjoy.
The concepts discussed back then still apply today. Yes, we still have DFSMS for the mainframe mentioned in the video, but we also have extended these concepts to the Active Cloud Engine in the SONAS and Storwize V7000 Unified, as well as the hieararchy management included in the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) Enterprise Edition (LTFS-EE) solutions.
Happy Winter Solstice, or whatever holiday you may choose to celebrate this season!
technorati tags: IBM, DFSMS, DFHSM, DFDSS, RACF, ISMF, ABARS, DFSMShsm, HSM, CD Larson, HDS, ffmpeg, YouTube, SONAS, Storwize+V7000+Unified, LTFS, LTFS-EE

When it comes to using sauces, many of us take the "easy" route and grab a pre-packaged bottle or jar off the grocer's shelf. Making your own after taking the time to carefully construct a homemade meal just seems...excessive. But nothing tastes quite as good as a homemade batch of dark chocolate sauce drizzled over, well, anything or a freshly mixed vinaigrette tossed with your favorite leafy greens. Here is a list of advice on how to make perfect homemade sauces from sauce-extraordinaire and author of Modern Sauces, Martha Holmberg: Read through your recipe.�You don't want to be surprised half-way through that you need to "chill for 24 hours". Gather your tools and preheat.�By having everything you'll need on-hand, you won't be scurrying to find that perfect whisk, especially in a time sensitive recipe.Grab your ingredients.�This makes sure that you not only have everything the recipe calls for, but also that you have enough of it and it's nearby.With all the flavor in this�Fried Eggs with Garlicky Chard and Saffron-Red Pepper Hollandaise, you won't want to under-season or miss a single ingredient. Do "dirty" prep.�Dirty prep includes anything that will produce waste before you start your sauce�chopping, peeling, washing. Doing this will�ensure you don't have a mess on your countertop or a hiccup while cooking. Do "fine" prep.�Pre-measure all of your ingredients so they're ready to go when you are. With this done, you won't be rinsing measuring cups throughout the cooking process. Taste raw ingredients. This is important because items such as fruit vary in taste depending on when they were picked, what season it is, and their size. By knowing what you are working with from the beginning, you can be prepared to adjust seasoning. Taste as you go. Just because a recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of salt, doesn't mean that your batch will need it. As we all know, it's much easier to add more than to take it away. Final Critique of Seasoning. Do a taste test before you pour �a sauce over your final dish to�ensure it tastes exactly as you'd like. Plus, with a recipe like Pastry Puffs with Cardamom-Coffee-Caramel Cream and Rich Dark Chocolate Sauce, we don't think you'll mind sneaking a taste of the chocolate sauce before everyone else. Don't undersalt.�As important as it is not to oversalt, it's equally important not to undersalt. Salt brings a depth to a dish that is unforgettable if applied in the proper amount. "Done" is when it looks right, not when the timer rings.�Even though chefs list cooking times in recipes, it's not an exact science. The numbers are more of a guide. Ovens, stoves and altitudes vary from kitchen to kitchen. Use descriptions of what the sauce should look or feel like before you trust the timing. Know when to make�and use�sauces.�Some sauces should be made ahead of time, and some are better when mixed right before the dish goes out. Some sauces can be refrigerated; others should be frozen. Most recipes that call for sauces assume they have been made ahead of time, but not all. Check the recipe (see tip #1) to be sure. This Rice Pudding with Cardamom Meringues, Lime Creme Anglaise, and Chunky Mixed-Berry Coulis has many components that can be made ahead of time and some that need to be. Choose good ingredients.�It's very hard to make a great sauce out of bad ingredients no matter how great the cook. Choosing the best quality ingredients will produce a much better sauce. Ready to try your hand at sauce making? The twelve fresh recipes below are a perfect place to start. �By Alexandra Rose Brought to you by: Relish

1. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of February 24, 2009
The minutes of the Committee's meeting of February 24, 2009 were adopted.
2. Procurement and Real Estate Division Report
Ms. Patricia Leto presented an overview of the Authority's Procurement activities, with Mr. Gerard Mullin, Mr. Brian McElroy and Mr. Mark O'Connor reporting on fossil fuel purchases, corporate finance activity and acquisition and disposal of real property, respectively.
Procurement Contract Activity through June 30, 2009
· 1,571 contracts (excluding fossil fuel) greater than $5,000 in value were active.
· The overall value of these contracts is more than $1.16 billion, with more than $129 million in contract expenditures for the first half of the year.
· More than 41% of the contracts are for the purchase of equipment and commodities.
· Services such as technician work and contracted personnel accounted for 35% of the contracts.
· More than 15% of the contracts are for consulting services (e.g., engineering, design, and specialized analysis).
· Approximately 9% of the contracts are for construction work.
· Based on the total value of the contracts included in the summary, approximately 94% of the total dollars expended (excluding fuels and corporate finances) were for contracts that were competitively bid
· In terms of the number of contracts processed, 69% of the contracts were competitively bid, while 31% were sole-source awards, including the purchase of highly specialized spare parts and services from original equipment manufacturers and procurement of services on an emergency basis and from proprietary sources.
· While approximately 60% of the total number of non-fuel contracts thus far in 2009 exceeded $25,000 in value, the total value of those contracts was approximately 99.8% of the total non-fuel expenditures.
· On May 20, 2009, the "2008 Annual Report of Procurement Contracts" was certified by the Authority's Chief Financial Officer for submission to the New York State Comptroller's Public Authorities Reporting Information System in accordance with Section 2879 of the New York State Public Authorities Law.
Fuel Purchases
· In the first half of 2009, a total of $134 million was spent on fuel purchases -- $125 million for natural gas and related costs and $9 million for fuel oil. These fuel purchases were carried out through 47 contracts for natural gas and fuel oil, as well as pipeline transportation and related services.
The price of natural gas for the
· The price of #6 residual fuel oil used at Poletti is currently $65 a barrel, the #2 fuel oil used at Flynn costs $75 a barrel and the jet/kero used at the 500 MW plant is at $85 a barrel.
· Staff expects continued softness in fuel prices for the near term, with prices increasing going into 2010.
Corporate Finance Activity
In the first half of 2009, $1.2 million was paid for non-procurement unique and specialized services requiring a broad depth of knowledge and expertise that are provided by a limited group of firms. The non-procurement items include trustees and paying agent services, commercial paper remarketing services, escrow agent services and fees paid for revolving credit agreements supporting the Authority's Commercial Paper Programs and Adjustable Rate Tender ("ART") Notes. In response to a question from Chairman Nicandri, Mr. McElroy said that the total amount spent for the whole year would be roughly double the amount spent in the first half of the year. Responding to a question from Mr. Quiniones, Mr. McElroy said that the auction rate security market is disappearing and that the Authority had refunded two of its programs in this market, switching to commercial paper instead.
Supplier Diversity Program
· Through the first half of the year, the Authority awarded $21.9 million (or 21.8% of its reportable expenditures) on contracts with certified M/WBEs, representing both direct contracts and subcontracts and including construction-related work.
· The Authority's annual goal for the use of New York State Certified Minority/Women-Owned Businesses ("M/WBEs") is 6% of its non-specialty procurements. The Authority does not include specialty procurements such as turbine runners, transformers, circuit breakers, other large electrical equipment, natural gas and other specialized goods and services since there are no M/WBEs available to provide these goods and services.
· The Authority continues an active outreach program with various M/WBE organizations and trade associations. The Authority hosted its Annual Purchasing Exchange on June 18th in the White Plains Office. More than 260 representatives of M/WBEs attended and met with representatives of about 36 New York State, federal, New York City and local government entities, as well as private companies. The venue will most likely be changed next year due to the overwhelming success of the event.
In response to a question from Governance Committee
Chairman Eugene Nicandri, Ms. Leto said that the M/WBE expenditures were
significantly higher than at the midpoint of previous years because many of the
vendors for the Authority's energy efficiency work had finally submitted invoices
for their work. Mr. Gil Quiniones said
that the Procurement team does a great job in the M/WBE area and Mr. Joseph Del
Sindaco said that staff has done a lot of outreach to M/WBE firms. Ms. Leto cited Ms. Debra White, the Manager
of the Authority's Supplier Diversity Program, as the person responsible for
much of the Program's success. In
response to a question from Trustee
Disposal of Personal Property
In the first half of 2009, the Authority received nearly $339,550 for all reportable personal property disposed of that had a value of more than $5,000. There was only one non-fleet-related reportable personal property disposal from January through June, the sale of scrap material from the Niagara Project for approximately $156,532. The Authority participated in one fleet-related auction during this period, which was conducted by JJ Kane Auctioneers. Such auction resulted in the sale of 48 units (including one lot of 12 trailer hitches) comprising light-duty vehicles, heavy-duty trucks and special equipment, of which 25 were greater than $5,000 in value. The gross sale price for these 45 units was $197,750; the net price (after commission and transportation costs were deducted) was approximately $183,017.
In June, the Authority solicited proposals for disposal of the fourth Generator Step-Up transformer at the Blenheim-Gilboa Project; proposals were due by July 9th. Although the value of copper is significantly lower than last year due to the change in market conditions, the Authority still expects the reclamation/salvage value of the scrap copper and steel to exceed the cost of recycling/disposal.
The 2008 Public Authorities Reporting Information System report of Personal Property Disposal was successfully completed by the March 31, 2009 deadline.
Acquisition and Disposal of Real Property
During the first half of the year, the Authority acquired 102
danger-tree permits for its Niagara-Adirondack, Fitz-Edic, Willis-Plattsburgh,
Plattsburgh-Vermont, Gilboa-New Scotland and Moses-Willis-Plattsburgh lines to
eliminate dangerous vegetation. In
addition, the Authority acquired an easement along the

Agreement in 2003, the Authority agreed to several changes in the Project
boundary that would remove approximately 1,340 acres from the Project. Approximately 599 acres of the removed lands
are in the process of being conveyed either to the affected local municipality
or to adjoining landowners, if interested.
To date, 480 of the 599 acres have been conveyed; during this reporting
period, 336 acres were conveyed at no cost to the municipalities and 37 acres
were conveyed in separate transactions to private landowners in 30 separate
parcels. To date, the Authority has
received nearly $477,083 from the sales of properties. The monies taken in by the Authority for the

As of June 30, 2009, overall inventory levels at all of the Authority's operating facilities totaled $85.74 million, compared to a year-end total in 2008 of $87.71 million. The current inventory level includes $1.7 million for field poles issued to the Niagara Rotor Poles Replacement project in February.
The design of the new Niagara Warehouse and Office Space was completed in June. The warehouse will optimize the use of volume with modern racking and an automatic retrieval system whenever possible. A Request for Proposals for construction of the new building was issued this month, with construction expected to begin in the last quarter of the year.
3. Recent Developments and Status of Authority's Ethics Programs
Mr. Joseph Gryzlo provided an overview of the Ethics Office's key initiatives, saying that the principal substantive issues arising under the Ethics Law and/or the Authority's Code of Conduct since his last report to the Governance Committee on February 24, 2009, included the following:
Allegations 1
Appearance of impropriety 12
Conflicts of interest 6
Gifts 8
Outside activities 4
Outside employment 10
Post employment 6
Research projects 1
Mr. Gryzlo said that the number of annual cases in the past several years has been increasing with 55 cases to date in 2009 (the year-end total for 2008 was 80). He sees this increase as a positive sign and attributes it to enhanced communications and employees' willingness to raise issues and seek guidance relating to ethics laws and the Authority's Code of Conduct.
Financial disclosure forms were due at the New York State Commission on Public Integrity ("CPI") by May 15th. The Ethics Office facilitated required filers' ability to meet this obligation. The Authority submitted its annual honoraria filing with CPI before the June 1st deadline. This report highlights any payments to employees for outside speaking events, published written materials or travel expenses paid by an outside party for an Authority employee to attend an event unrelated to their Authority duties. During this reporting period, there was only one honorarium to report.
The Governance Committee has been asked to review and recommend for the Trustees' approval the draft revised Code of Conduct. The revised Code has been approved by executive management and is applicable to all Authority Trustees and employees. Mr. Gryzlo conducted impact bargaining with the Authority's in-house unions (IBEW Locals 2032 and 2104 and UWUA Local 1-2), which did not object to the inclusion of the Authority's bargaining unit employees as covered individuals under the revised Code. The revised Code is more user friendly than the previous version. All Trustees and employees will be required to certify on an annual basis that they have read and are in compliance with the Code's provisions. On motion duly made and seconded, the Governance Committee voted unanimously to recommend the revised Code be reviewed and approved by the full Board of Trustees.
The Ethics Office will deliver its 2009 training in the fourth quarter. The training will focus on the revised Code of Conduct and will be delivered online. Senior executives, Trustees and employees without dedicated computer access will receive paper copies of the training, in addition to the computer-based format. Once they have completed the training, Trustees and staff will be asked to certify that they have completed the program and the completed training will be included in their centralized training profiles. President Kessel asked Mr. Gryzlo to make a short presentation on the revised Code of Conduct to the Trustees this fall.
Earlier this year, the Ethics Office was transferred to the Law Department and its name was changed to the Ethics and Compliance Office. Mr. Gryzlo was named the Authority's Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer.
The Ethics and Compliance Office's second-quarter customer survey yielded a satisfaction rating of 1.21 on the 1-4 scale (with "1" being the best score), with several positive comments included. These results will be incorporated into the Law Department's overall customer satisfaction performance measure report.
4. Motion to Conduct an Executive Session
"Mr. Chairman, I move that the Governance Committee conduct an executive session pursuant to Section 105 of the Public Officers Law of the State of New York to discuss matters leading to the appointment, employment, promotion, discipline, suspension, dismissal or removal of a particular person or corporation." Upon motion made and seconded, an Executive Session was held.
5. Motion to Resume Meeting in Open Session
"Mr. Chairman, I move to resume the meeting in Open Session." Upon motion made and seconded, the meeting resumed in Open Session.
6. Next Meeting
The next regular meeting of the Governance Committee will be held on a date to be determined.

Justin Blackmon, the best of a deep (if not quite elite) receiving pool for the Browns to choose from: http://bit.ly/GBN4s6
My thought: If Green, Jones and Blackmon were in the same draft Blackmon is the last one off the board.
Gonna be very good, but not elite. I've seen one elite player in the guys we've looked at and I still hate that it's a RB.
Again, if someone wants that 4th and you can move back, man, it'd be hard to pass up the trading down option.
Haven't formally looked at Claiborne and Coples yet on the site, but hard to believe they'll change that thought.
I'd rather (so far) have Kendall Wright, Lamar Miller, Weeden than Blackmon or Richardson or Tannehill. Just from a value perspective.

Hip dysplasia in dogs is fairly common among large breeds like golden and Labrador retrievers, mastiffs, Rottweilers and sheepdogs. The clinical signs of hip dysplasia tend to be the most severe as a dog ages, however, the issue begins at a very young age. When a canine is young and growing, its hip joints may not grow and form uniformly. This often results in laxity or weakness in the hip joints which will then be followed by degenerative changes—called osteoarthritis—within the joint. These changes can result in pain, limping or lameness in a dog's rear legs, according to VCA Animal Hospitals.
Genetic predisposition is not the only factor that can lead to this joint disorder. The American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) indicates that rapid growth or weight gain can also lead to dysplasia. Trauma to the area when a canine is young and growing can also increase the risk of hip dysplasia.
The clinical signs of hip dysplasia may include wobbly, weak or pained legs, or an unusual "bunny-hopping" sort of gait when they run. While these signs can be seen in young puppies, the signs of this condition are more common in dogs over 1 or 2 years old. If you have a dog who is predisposed to hip dysplasia or you have noticed signs that your pet may be limping or in pain, it is important to get it to a vet for diagnosis. VCA states that dogs with genetic predisposition to developing the joint problem should be taken to a veterinarian when they are puppies to have hip radiographs performed.
In many instances, the pain caused by the arthritis can be controlled with medication, however, sometimes surgery may be necessary to help dogs with hip dysplasia.

Land Use Review
The City of Portland is constructing a second drinking water reservoir on Powell Butte. This reservoir will help provide sufficient drinking water storage capacity to meet the anticipated growth in demand for water due to population projections, for fire suppression and emergency response, and to offset the possible loss of the City's five open reservoirs that may need to be disconnected from the water system.
Development at Powell Butte is governed by a 2003 Master Plan that approved development including construction of a new underground water reservoir, water system components, and park improvements. The current application seeks relatively modest amendments to the prior approval, as specific footprints of various features have been refined via analysis of wetlands, etc. and with input from a sustained public input process.
In order to amend the 2003 Powell Butte Master Plan, to gain approval of the proposed project elements in the environmental zones, and to Adjust the Master Plan development standards, the applicant requests the following approvals:
- Type III Conditional Use Master Plan Amendment (CU MS) to reflect revised plans for Park Center components, stormwater facilities, and the updated Trail Master Plan;
- Type II Environmental (EN) Review using existing Master Plan criteria to construct the amended plan components (from 1, above) and construct other Master Plan components (such as Reservoir #2 and Conduit 5); and
- Type II Adjustment (AD) Review using Adjustment criteria (33.805, as directed by Master Plan) to address needed adjustments to Master Plan development standards.

Pastoral ministry is hard. Period.
So it makes sense to me that when pastors get a taste of difficulty, they want to run away, fast. Frankly, it's not an overstatement to say that apart from a divine calling, pastoral ministry isn't all that attractive on its own. Who wants the grief, the pain, the distress, the discomfort? As Charles Schulz quipped through the Peanuts character Linus, "I love humanity; it's people I can't stand."
The difficulty of dealing with people and their problems makes it tempting to create some distance, to become aloof, to get occupied with other things. After experiencing the pain and frustration of dealing with people, it's not uncommon to start looking for an escape hatch, a more remote location.
Like a monastery.
Any sane person would consider the monastic life to be something like a prison sentence. But busy pastors often straddle the line of sanity—to them, a monastery can sound like a five-star getaway. Quiet. Reading. Study. Contemplation. Meditation. Routine. Predictability. Compared to some of the inglorious and often thankless work of shepherding people, taking the monk's cowl can seem pretty appealing.
The problem is, it's just a bit unrealistic. More within reach is to find a better, more acceptable, even admirable way to "retreat into the monastery." Some pastors want to follow a different "leading of the Lord"—take on more oversight, join a leadership think tank, teach courses at a college or seminary, write articles and books, ascend to a ministry of "wider influence"—almost anything is preferable to the nitty-gritty of pastoral work.
None of that is necessarily wrong. Some pastors are doing those things in addition to shepherding the flock of God. They work hard and ought to be honored for it. On the other hand, some men need to get out of pastoral ministry. They simply don't belong there in the first place.
But it's important to recognize that pastoral ministry, theology, and practical Christian growth must be connected to the local church. If it's disconnected from the local church—divorced from shepherding the flock of God—then it's not God's design for the edification and growth of Christ's church. Monasteries, in whatever form, are not part of the plan.
What is part of the plan is the regular, routine, mundane stuff of life lived, raw and honest, with other believers in the context of the local church. The plan has to do with the joys and sorrows, the pleasures and pains, of normal human relationships.
That's why the Spirit of God provided parental pictures of pastoral leadership in Paul's ministry. Notice what Paul wrote to the Thessalonians:
We proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children. Having thus a fond affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us (1 Thessalonians 2:7-8).
You know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory (1 Thessalonians 2:11-12).
We proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children. Having thus a fond affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us (1 Thessalonians 2:7-8).
You know how we were exhorting and encouraging and imploring each one of you as a father would his own children, so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory (1 Thessalonians 2:11-12).
You can't get more tender, or more honest and personal, than a nursing mother; you can't get more real or penetrating than a clarifying conversation with a concerned father. And you can't pastor like that from a distance; you definitely can't do it from a video screen. The parental aspects of pastoral ministry require proximity, intimacy, and the investment of time.
Christ doesn't want pastors to remain aloof from people and their messy problems. He doesn't want them to theologize from the safety of an ivory tower. He wants them involved, intimately familiar with pain and suffering. Why? Because it's through pastoral empathy that God comforts His people.
[God] comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. . . . If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort . . . (2 Corinthians 1:4, 6, emphasis added).
[God] comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. . . . If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort . . . (2 Corinthians 1:4, 6, emphasis added).
Our theology—our study of God—teaches us never to be remote or aloof; we are to be intimately connected to the day-to-day lives of other people. We are to bring our theology out of the neat, clean, sterile environment of a classroom, and into the gritty, messy, real work of shepherding sheep. No room for that in a monastic cell.
Just look at Jesus. John 1:14-18 says Jesus tabernacled among us in full humanity to make the Father known to us (i.e., to teach us theology proper). Though He is our "great high priest who has passed through the heavens" (Hebrews 4:14), He didn't teach us about God from that lofty vantage. He came close enough "to sympathize with our weaknesses," to be "tempted in all things as we are" ("yet without sin," Hebrews 4:15). That's the stuff of pastoral ministry, taught by "the Chief Shepherd" Himself (1 Peter 5:4).
We experience the most profound joys and sorrows in the context of intimate human relationships. It's not by accident that God incubates our growth in the body of Christ. "And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it" (1 Corinthians 12:26). That's how God, in His wisdom and grace, composed the body, "that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another" (1 Corinthians 12:25).
For pastor and people alike, for shepherds and sheep, there is no other way to live.
Brothers, we are not monks.

Well said Travis. Shepherding biblical requires being in a local church, the one "allotted to you" (1Peter. 5:2) and knowing the sheep of that assembly. Shepherds aren't to be distracted by trying to shepherd others' sheep because that isn't what 1Peter 5 states; its not the one allotted to them (its God's flock anyway), nor is it their given authority to do so. It takes a lot to truly, biblically shepherd a local flock. It takes physically being there (can't do that via video), time,commitment, fervency, and endurance among other things like agape love and all the biblical requirements. I believe those requirements are placed by God to sift out those who are not qualified for the position of elder; by definition its pretty narrow. An unqualified leader does a lot of damage to the flock. A qualified leader, on the other hand, is a great aide and blessing.

Amen, my brother, Travis Allen!
Do you think, however, that we should balance the ministry of the apostle Paul with the fact that he was not at any one church longer than about 3 years, and that one of the churches (Colossae) never saw Paul in person (MacArthur Commentary, Colossians & Philipians, pp. 5-6), and that he was in and out of the Corinthian church on several occasions? I do not mean to minimize the pastoring effect of our dear brother Paul, but it seems that he may not be the best example of a pastor that was with any one flock for the lifetime of service in the mud and muck of everyday living such as some pastors throughout history (MacArthur as one example). For sure, however, the apostle Paul has taught all new testament churches concerning the mystery of the gospel through the letters God wrote through him while he was in, not a monastic cell, but in a prison cell.
Thank you, sir.

My eternal gratefulness to all who pastor and pastor well.
I thought Paul was a great example because he lived as an example of a man following the example of Christ. (1 Cor: 1:11, Phil. 3:17.) He also built a disciple cycle with Timothy (2 Tim. 1:13, 2:2, 3:10,14). Paul lived the Christ-like, cross-carrying life before God in the eyes of men and passed the baton of faith. That ought to be (borrowing one of Phil Johnson's favorite word) tantamount to teaching and preaching. (1 Tim. 4:16). I imagine that the pressure of shepherding is a daunting one, but us sheep need you guys! Double honor to you all who labor over teaching us the word, and showing us how to walk by your love and obedience to Christ.
Thanks Travis,
This is helpful to pastors, I'm sure --- but also to those of us in the pew. As I try to serve in the local church, it's puzzling at times to see some Christians growing, maturing and bearing good fruit while others seem to not be growing at all. I would imagine that might be frustrating to a pastor. J.C. Ryle, --- a pastor himself had some wise and helpful words on this topic. I'll quote him here:
"We must not expect all believers in Christ to be exactly like one another. We must not set down others as having no grace, because their experience does not entirely tally with our own. The sheep in the Lords flock have each their own peculiarities. The trees in the Lords garden are not all precisely alike. All true servants of God agree in the principal things of religion. All are led by one Spirit. All feel their sins, and all trust in Christ. All repent, all believe, and all are holy. But in minor matters they often differ widely. Let not one despise another on this account. There will be Martha's and there will be Mary's in the Church until the Lord comes again".
I pray that everyone who reads this blog with a desire to grow or to be recharged; go back to 1982 and listen to John's 8 part series
True Worship, Part 1
January 03, 1982 John 4:20-24 2004
I know you will be blessed and maybe convicted . I have spent years studying Chuck Smith and John but have been woefully short to go out and share the blessings I have recieved through the power of the Holy Spirit in wisdom and discernment living a life of peace, and thankfulness. I want to LOVE the Father with a passion He deserves.
I am back, just one thing of many I learned from listening to "True Worship" is we are to worship everywhere, we are not monks but empowered vessels overflowing,,, with a purpose not for ourselves.
I think a distinction could be made between the apostolic calling and authority of Paul's ministry and his heart as an Elder/Pastor. Paul's commission to the gentiles adds an even furthur depth to his multi-tasked gifting. Too many modern evangelical pastors hit the road right about the time the rubber meets it and that is both unfortunate and inconsistent. The modern evangelism paradigm often limits real spiritual growth in the lives of both members and pastors by shortcutting through pretty fields to avoid the morass of real-life struggles with really struggling believers who need hands-on companionship and direction. In my mind and from my experience the American "church" is a very real mission field and needs pastors that are there for the long-haul with as much zeal and committment as missionaries in the dark continents.
#5 Patrick Driscoll I like 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 ;
One Body with Many Parts
12 The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. 13 Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles,[e] some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit.[f]

Very cool, the armored pieces have good paint jobs.
get that collar armor sorted looks like ur choking...are you still repainting the armor? Looks like it needs it. Not bad for a few months at it!
haha.. not choking, just slightly constricted.. heh. I'll be making a new collar plate, as that one doesn't play nicely with my back plate.
Yes, I'm going to do a repaint. Actually, I'm considering making another set entirely out of a bit thicker sintra and replacing the chest, back, collar, ab, and cod pieces, and painting it with the colors you used for my helmet so everything matches nicely.

Two More Involved In Break-In Caught
Two more suspects wanted in connection to Tuesday's early morning home invasion and gunfire exchange with police were taken into custody Thursday in Buffalo. One remains at large.
Captain Robert F. Samuelson, division commander of the Jamestown Police Department, said that one of the suspects, a parolee, was detained after he showed up at the Buffalo parole office. He is currently being questioned by Jamestown investigators.
The other suspect was found after further investigation and taken into custody on a parole violation in Erie County.
The final suspect at large is reportedly the one who may have been injured from the gunfire exchange with police, Samuelson said.
Six suspects are now in custody for allegedly breaking into the 188 Falconer St. home Tuesday and attacking the residents inside over an apparent drug-related issue.
Details on the number of victims, their connection with the suspects or the extent of their injuries were not released.
Jamestown Police responded to the scene shortly after 3 a.m. and observed three suspects attempting to escape out of a window. The last one to leave fired a shot at an officer before fleeing with the other two in a southern direction behind the houses on Stowe Street.
The police officer, who was uninjured, returned fire. It is unclear whether any of the suspects were injured.
Two men were found hiding inside the residence and charged with first-degree burglary. Two others were found walking on the railroad tracks west of Jamestown and detained on parole violations and as persons-of-interest.
Police have not released any of the suspects' names.
Anyone who has information on the whereabouts of the last wanted suspect, who may be injured, is requested to call 483-7357 or leave an anonymous tip at 483-8477 (Tips)

'Talkback' session planned after Sunday performance
Audience members at the Sunday performance of "The Diary of Anne Frank" at SUNY Fredonia will have the opportunity to engage in a discussion with the cast and crew about the process of bringing the production together.
A special "talkback" session will be held after Sunday's matinee performance in Marvel Theatre at Rockefeller Arts Center on the SUNY Fredonia campus. The matinee begins at 2 p.m. and the cast and crew will return to the stage after the final curtain to answer questions.
The SUNY Fredonia Department of Theatre and Dance is presenting six performances of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play from April 12 to 20 as part of the 2012-13 Walter Gloor Mainstage Series.
The SUNY Fredonia production, directed by Jessica Hillman, an assistant professor with the Department of Theatre and Dance, is based on Wendy Kesselman's 1997 adaption of the Pulitzer Prize-winning work. The play tells the story of a Jewish family forced into hiding in an effort to avoid Nazi persecution during World War II through the diary entries of 13-year-old Anne Frank.
There is an emphasis on Holocaust education as part of this production. The theatre lobby will host an informational display and special notes will be included in the playbill. Student Maggie Gilroy is coordinating both as the dramaturg for the production.
The play will also be the center piece for the Department's annual "Drama Day" for junior and senior high school students from area districts on April 17.
In addition to the Sunday matinee, performances are planned for April 18, 19 and 20 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available through the SUNY Fredonia Ticket Office in the Williams Center (673-3501 or fredonia.edu/tickets).
"The Diary of Anne Frank" is sponsored by the M&T Bank as part of the Lake Shore Savings Season.

Topic: Totally Lost, Need Help! JS Question.
Hi guys, sorry about the vague title, but I don't even know what javascript technology/method I should be using for this one. Here goes:
I've got this site I am working on, when you load a specific page, it is supposed to count down 16 seconds, and at the end of those 16 seconds, I am going to make an ActiveRecord call. The seconds need to be displayed as they count down.
Right now I am using a small text field to display an integer counting down from 16 so that I can access it through the DOM. Right now it is written in normal JS, but I don't know how to have rails recognized that the counter is done so it can make the activerecord call.
Someone suggested using an inner_html call so that I don't need to place it in a text box. I've also heard that I should use RJS, hpricot, and jQuery.
I'm pretty lost here, I know how to make simple ajax updates to a page, but that's really it for JS. If anyone could just start me on the right path to what I should be reading, that would be very much appreciated.

Rated 4 out of 5�by jj I use every day I am very happy with service and ease of ordering and will purchase form this company again. I use these weights as I am a water aerobics leader. I and my class have been using this product for several years. With one or two issues that do not change. 1. would like to purchase this product with out the weights being included , the weights don't wear out every year like the material the cuffs are made of. 2. The Velcro straps are really not strong enough to hold up and so the need to purchase these weights is more to the flimsy straps as to the cuffs. Would like to see an improvement this area of design. July 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Zsanese Good Product Have been using these almost every day since receiving them. They work good and I can feel a burn after my water aerobics workout. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was because I made a trip to the store to purchase them and they were not available. I ended up ordering them online in the store, when I could have stayed home and did that from my own computer. Additionally, no discount or special consideration given for the inconvenience. I make this statement because I am handicapped and can only do water aerobics as getting around is rather difficult for me. So won't be making any trips to the store again any time soon.

SOFTBALL: Lady Dragons avenge lone loss, shut out Ft LeBoeuf
Youth and experience.
Freshman Paige Wilson hit a three-run homer in the first, seniors Erica Blair and Taylor Mineweaser came through with two-run hits and Alexa Bupp limited Fort LeBoeuf to just five hits in a 9-0 Warren victory on Senior Day, Thursday at Hawbaker Field.
"Obviously, with it being Senior Day, you want your seniors to go out on a positive note," said Warren coach Mark Bupp. "All three of our seniors contributed to this win today. Erica and Taylor had big hits offensively and Jaimie had five putouts and one assist defensively for us."
With the win, Warren was able to avenge its only loss of the 2013 season (a 3-2 loss to LeBoeuf, April 22, in Waterford). It also puts the Dragons into a first-place tie with the Bison atop the Region 7 standings.
After struggling to find its offensive rhythm in an earlier season loss to LeBoeuf, the Dragons had no such trouble this time around.
With two outs in the bottom of the first, Bupp worked a walk and Meghan Loutzenhiser reached on an error, bringing Wilson to the plate. Wilson was unfazed by the big stage and calmly crushed a three-run homer – her fifth of the season -giving the Dragons a 3-0 lead. Wilson now has a team-high 27 RBI this season.
Wilson's blast accounted for all the scoring until the third inning when the senior Blair made her Senior Day memory. Blair sent a 3-2 pitch screaming over the head of the LeBoeuf left fielder, allowing two more runs to score and making it 5-0 Warren.
LeBoeuf attempted to mount a rally in the fifth, but some stout defense from senior shortstop Jaimie Eaton and timely pitches from Bupp helped Warren maintain its five run lead. Eaton saved two runs by snagging a well struck line drive and Bupp induced two come backers with the bases loaded, throwing to her catcher Wilson both times for the second and third outs of the inning.
"I called a timeout after they got the first two runners on and talked with Lex about hitting our sports and holding runners there," said coach Bupp. "I'm very proud of the way she worked out of that jam. She had great defense behind her and really buckled down and got the job done."
After stifling the Bison rally, Warren tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the inning. The Dragons (12-1) loaded the bases with nobody out, but still hadn't scored with two outs in the frame. Blair then scored on a passed ball and Kennedy Walter drove in a run to push the gap to seven.
"Kennedy Walter is doing a great job for us at the bottom of the lineup," added coach Bupp. "She hits the ball and allows us to keep rolling into the top of our order."
Mineweaser completed Warren's offensive production in the sixth when a two-out single allowed both Blair and courtesy runner Alexis Munksgard to score.
By winning out, Warren will clinch at least a share of the Region 7 championship. Its next game is scheduled for Saturday morning at Corry.

Rocky Grove 5,
Eisenhower 2
ROCKY GROVE – Eisenhower dropped its fifth straight game Thursday with a 5-2 setback to Rocky Grove at Rocky Grove High School.
The Knights (2-11) were able to keep the game close throughout, but spotted the Orioles a 5-0 lead before their offensive was able to erase the zero from the scoreboard. Eisenhower's sixth inning rally produced two runs, but there would be no additional scoring after that point.
In the sixth, Dakota Williams was hit by a pitch with one out and she scored on Haylie Birt's RBI double. Moments later, Birt was able to score when Ashley Barnett delivered a clutch two-out RBI single.
Kristen Wagner was responsible for two of Ike's six hits in the loss. Kelsey Repke, Birt, Barnett and Natasha Morrison also had hits in the loss.
The Knights are right back at it Friday when they travel to Panama (NY) for a varsity only contest.

Those games bumped Rocky Grove to 5-4 in the region, and Youngsville to 4-5 and the third Class A seed in the region. The Lady Eagles (5-8), with one hit on Thursday, host Franklin in the final regular-season game of the season.
