ThisWeek Community News Chief Photographer Joshua A. Bickel won top honors from the Ohio News Photographers Association during its annual convention April 12 at Kent State University.
Bickel was named the Ron Kuntz Sports Photographer of the Year and the News Photographer of the Year in the small-market division.

Bickel, who joined ThisWeek in 2012, is a graduate of the University of Missouri.
He also won first place in the best feature, best pictorial and best sports picture story categories.
In addition, ThisWeek's photography department was named Staff of the Year in the under-60,000 circulation category. Joining Bickel on the staff are Lorrie Cecil, John Hulkenberg, Chris Parker and Ryan M.L. Young.

Yesterday, I asked what Mary and I should look for at the World Tea Expo...spam related since we are Mods after all? The top answer was "spam porn." TeaChatters, you all need help!!! You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.
Welcome to another TeaDay...2 days before Mary and I invade Vegas and the WTE!!! To help us celebrate, brew lots of tea today and come share what is in your cup today...all day! Be sure to check out what everyone else is brewing as well. Remember, if you need to, you can reflect back on your TeaDay.
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic...it comes down to, do you have too much or not enough tea open right now...and would you like to change? So, share with everyone how you feel about your current open tea practice.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone on TeaDay. So, bottoms up...refill...repeat...

Ah, I'm a huge Lennon fan, so I have some suggestions for you.
You can go with the party line, basically Yoko approved stuff like The Ballad of John and Yoko or Lennon by Ray Coleman.
Or you can branch out and read some rather interesting stuff like:
Dakota Days by John Green
Loving John by May Pang
John Lennon, My Brother by Julia Baird
John Lennon In My Life by Pete Shotton
A Twist of Lennon by Cynthia Lennon
The Last Days of John Lennon by Frederic Seaman
I'd say read them all. I prefer the last six books, they are more honest, I feel.

Update: I now reside in Chicago. I will visit Joliet on a semi-monthly basis. If any research is desired before that time please contact me, and we can work out a plan that works for you.
I will visit the Will County Clerk's Office, and search the birth certificate index for the requested individual. The index roughly includes the years 1877 through 1937. This index also includes any delayed birth certificates that may have been filed at a later date. If an entry is found in the index a certified copy of the birth certificate can obtained the same day. Certified copies of the birth certificates are $9.00 a piece.
Indexes are organized by beginning letter of the last name. Outside of that the organization of the index varies. Additionally it is a combination of handwritten and typed entries. It requires each page of the index to be searched. Generally I can search one index in 45 minutes to an hour.

Many of the volunteers who signed on to become military pilots in World War II took primary training in a Stearman Kaydet. The rest were trained in the Fairchild Cornell and the airplane you see above–the Ryan STA-3KR Recruit, aka the PT-22. Pilots who know the PT-22 say it made a better trainer than the Stearman or the Fairchild, because it was more demanding and less forgiving. Barry Schiff flew the PT-22 for the June 2008 AOPA Pilot magazine. Here, Mike Fizer photographed Jay Becker's 1942 PT-22–an Oshkosh Grand Champion–flying off the coast of Santa Monica.

Two year letter
I guess this is the last monthly letter I am writing and it says something about my state of mind that I am ready to burst into tears and bawl uncontrollably at passers-by at the thought. Maybe part of this is the tooth-ache but am fairly certain at least some of it can also be attributed to the mom thing. Your father tried to make me feel better by offering to have letters written to him instead. Violence is not a good thing, sweetheart and I did not box his ears.
I am going to throw some wisdom at you. Duck! No, child, I am not. Children are born wise. They just lose it somewhere along the path to adulthood. In any case, I find you at least as bright as your dad and me put together and no pressure or anything but make sure the folks at Stockholm have the landline number handy. Just in case, you know.
As I write this, you have one numbers grandmother fawning all over you. I think she has completely forgotten that she has a daughter who would also like some attention and more importantly the gossip but we will have to wait till she has finished telling you that you are the most gorgeous baby in the whole world.
So, two years, huh? You have been busy, turning, crawling, walking, babbling, talking and turning at least two lives on their heads and changing the people that they were forever. It's a funny thing but my own dad used to say that he wanted to have nothing from life except to spend time with his children. Your daddy's dad, the much-adored Tatha also says that the only worthwhile thing he did in his life was to raise kids. And I have heard your own father tell me on several occasions that his only ambition in life is to bring you up. Something tells me that I might need to get a full-time corporate-type job to fund his desire.
Some people say that raising twins is not twice as tough, it's two hundred times as difficult. So I guess it speaks of my love that I often think that if I had the option, I would have ordered two or even three of the same.
For the past month or so, you say that your birthday is on the fourth of May, that there will be a party and a cake and candles that you will do phoo! to and balloons at which point you lose focus and go into something of a trance, so overjoyed are you at the thought of balloons. Bayoons, bayoons, bayoons, you tell me, dimpling and grinning. One thing is for certain, this house is going to be filled with balloons today! And we are all going to follow suit as you take the dance floor and do the unique dance that has come to be known as the Tribal Chief Dance.
Yesterday, I heard you having this conversation with M:
Adi: Are you singing, Daddy? (!)
M: Yes baby, I am singing? Will you also sing, Adi?
Adi: Yes, Daddy
M: What will you sing Adi?
Adi: Desi Girl.
M: Alright baby, sing!
Adi: Desi girl, my desi girl girl girl girl......
I don't believe this, when did you get old enough to remember a song and then sing it? When did you get old enough to have full conversations like these? On an aside, I am trying to balance out the Bollywood that you get in your genes by playing you classical music. Let's see if one or both or neither wins.
And that is why, today the song that is playing in my mind over and over again is this. It's one of your father's favourite songs and he has sung it to you pretty much from the day you were born.
Hey there, reader, sing along to this lovely song and wish my child well, won't you? Mazeltov!
(Tevye) Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
(Golde) I don't remember growing older
When did they?
(Tevye) When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
(Golde) Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?
(Men) Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
(Women) Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
(Tevye) What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
(Golde) Now they must learn from one another
Day by day
(Perchik) They look so natural together
(Hodel) Just like two newlyweds should be
(Perchik & Hodel) Is there a canopy in store for me?
(All) Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

Hi Adi,
My heartiest wishes to you... may you grow to be a wonderful boy retaining your mom's sense of humor (which is really amazing!), and your father's sanity. With all those monthly letters that your mom pens down so patiently (though she may disagree on this term) makes me feel that I have known you since long back. I am sure that you will definitely make the guys at Stockholm have your landline number your mom said. Are you still charmed by Katrina Aunty or was your mom successful at diverting your interests?
Whatever it is Adi, always be happy and healthy.
Wishing you lots and lots of love, health and success,
P.S:- Sorry Parul, couldn't help it. This is such a lovely post. I always like the humor in your posts. Could you please tell me what is the book that everyone is asking about (only if you are comfortable speaking about it)?

Kodi's Mom...Thanks, Aunty KM!
March Hare...I like grape juice, mom likes fermented grape juice ;)
Poppins...Thank ye, Aunty Poppins. Mom was very very happy to talk to you the other day!
B...Messages like these want me to go on blogging forever, right into my grey years! Thank you so much. My book will be out soon but I don't have a date as yet. Soon I hope!

Share Your Reflection

I am speechless...this interview is amazing and right now
I am speechless...this interview is amazing and right now it feels like it has opened doors that I didn't realize were closed. As a regular listener (who happens to be agnostic) I truly appreciate the different ideas, beliefs, and spins that this show introduces to my life and society on a whole. Thank you!

There is more than just numbers in age and aging.

There is more than just numbers in age and aging.

I listened to the podcast of this show last night-
I listened to the podcast of this show last night--sobering. I have an 84-year-old mother who is entering the old-old stage. And a step-father who is in it that stage, with low quality of life. Not what I want for myself. But he was one who was revived through antibiotics when he got pneumonia--the condition I heard a doctor call "the old man's friend." No more. The costs, financial, spiritual, and psychological of this prolonged stage are high already and will soon be staggering. I appreciate the candor, will reflect long on the meaning.

This was a welcomed segment for me as I struggle thru the
This was a welcomed segment for me as I struggle thru the process of dealing with care for my grandmother's youngest brother. At 87 he has Alzheimers and severely painful degenerative osteoarthritis in his lower spine. Eighteen months ago I discovered his live-in caregivers being grossly negligent and selling his narcotics when I went to visit, after not having seen him for 25 years. Once you know a travesty like this is happening, you cannot turn a blind eye. I ended up bringing him and his maniacal monster sized German Shepherd to live with me in MN. The oddyssey that has ensued has challenged the very fiber of my being and made me reflect on what will become of me. I am 51 and single in a place where it is hard to develop a community to take the place of family, let alone find a partner. Being the only child of an only child and having no family or children is sobering when you have a clear idea of what aging looks like for so many and what might lay ahead. I and my similarly independant and far flung friends often muse about where we shall go at some point to live communally and look after one another.....

I want to read Jane's book. I could have written this, it so speaks to my own experience from 2000-2010. The 10 years after my father died, and I became my mother's care-giver - me - the one named as the "antagonistic" one...and also a care giver for my developmentally disabled older brother. It was a long, rough, exhausting journey - yet, a healing one as well, for both of us. It is amazing the stories we all share in our silence. Mom passed last Nov at 94.

I appreciate the practicallity of this pod cast. I did
I appreciate the practicallity of this pod cast. I did miss the value of the elderly in our society. Unlike the speeker, I did grow up with my grandmother and other elderly people of value around me. People who we continued to value, even as their apparent "worth" was in decline.
These people are our foundation! They deserve respect!
I hate to think that Jane Gross is considered and "expert" in the field of the elderly. She communicates some very important issues, but forgets the individual and the relationships that we should treasure. Only from a place of love, respect and value can a child help to make the important decisions.

As the author of "A Bittersweet Season,'' and hugely honored to be a guest of Krista's, I want to thank all those who listened, commented, and said such kind things. I hope our conversation was both helpful and consoling to you, and that those who haven't will both read the book and chime in on my facebook fan page, about the book itself and other related topics. https://www.facebook.com/JaneG.... Peace to all of you. ----- Jane Gross

forgive me for being such a luddite, but i can't figure out how to answer some of the comments on the main "being'' FB page. besides thanks everyone i also would like to suggest to erica, whose parents are caring for their aged parents but resistant to reading "bittersweet'' that she could very subtly pass along what she is reading and thinking, to both generations and thus be a comfort to them all. i'm deeply touched by her concern for them and hope she knows what there are many grandchildren, utterly on their own as caretakers or as observers to what is happening in their family, who carry, or help carry, this burden and often find themselves hugely enriched by the experience. ---- jane gross

Read the book and loved it! Full of poignant moments, but not sappily so and, more importantly, very much grounded in reality and facts. Everyone who faces the possibility of caring for a parent should, must read this book! We also need to see more of these types of blogs, books, interviews, discussions about the realities of aging: the good, the bad, and the truly ugly.

We are delighted to show off our new Gekko mugs and teacups made by local potter, Kat Wheeler. Kat works for The Leach Pottery and has designed us these beautiful mugs.
We have been very excited about the whole process of the mugs from the initial design through to the firing. Sam and I went to The Leach Pottery to see them in their first stages and looked at a couple of different designs and glazes before deciding exactly what we wanted.
They were fired last week, the first guests to use them have been super impressed, saying the teacup makes 'the perfect' cup of tea! Some guests also went to visit The Leach Pottery as they were very keen to look at some other work.
You will find the mugs in your room to enjoy the selection of coffee and teas and at breakfast when you can start your day off with that 'perfect' cup of tea!
The Leach Pottery is located at the top of St Ives on Higher Stennack.
Thanks to Kat for the fantastic work!

They are strewn across the NFL landscape like fresh roadkill.
Andy Reid. Lovie Smith. Ken Whisenhunt. Norv Turner. Romeo Crennel. Chan Gailey. Pat Shurmur.
Those are just the head coaches who were kicked to the curb on Black Monday.
Most striking this time is that five general managers were forced to walk the plank, too. In three cases -- with the Arizona Cardinals, San Diego Chargers and Cleveland Browns -- the teams double-dipped and canned the coaches and GMs.
WHO'S OUT?: Track Monday's coach and GM firings
Goodbye, A.J. Smith, Rod Graves, Tom Heckert, Mike Tannenbaum and Gene Smith.
In another case, with the Tennessee Titans, neither the coach nor GM was fired (yet), but the football man above them, CEO Mike Reinfelt, was given his walking papers by owner Bud Adams.
More moves surely are pending.
Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, in firing Crennel, will head the search for a coach, which leaves GM Scott Pioli on shaky ground.
BELL: NFL playoff preview
The Jacksonville Jaguars fired Gene Smith, but first-year coach Mike Mularkey can hardly be assured he'll survive when the new GM arrives.
Gailey is out in Buffalo, but GM Buddy Nix, who spent more than $100 million in free agency to upgrade a defense that got worse, must still meet with owner Ralph Wilson.
The common thread in all of these cases is what you'd expect.
It's about winning. Fast and now.
Reid took the Eagles to five NFC title games, but that's history. He hasn't been to the playoffs in three years, out in Philadelphia after a 4-12 finish this season. So much for that "lifetime" job.
Hard-luck stories can be found in many outposts. Crennel got one season as Todd Haley's replacement, after players lobbied for him to get the job. He drew rave reviews for his handling of the team amid the murder-suicide tragedy involving linebacker Jovan Belcher.
The Chiefs were 2-14. Gone.
A recent chat with ousted Chargers GM A.J. Smith comes to mind. The topic was job security.
"It's a bottom-line business," Smith said.
The Chargers have missed the playoffs for a third consecutive season. So Smith, who stumbled with recent high draft picks and didn't hang on to a few other talented producers, is out the door with Turner -- fired as a head coach for the third time.
With so many GMs fired along with or instead of the coaches -- as was the case with the New York Jets, who kept coach Rex Ryan and ran Tannenbaum out -- the movement reflects increasing pressure upstairs.
Gone are the days, apparently, when GMs get to cycle through three or four head coaches. That was another generation.
In a salary-cap era flush with the biggest revenue in league history and with "football people" wielding less power, patience with GM tenures is waning.
What's evident now is that a GM had better get it right on the two most crucial hires -- the head coach and the quarterback -- or else.
And the GM might get just one crack at both -- if that. New Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said Monday that in his new order, he'll hire the coach first.
A.J. Smith might have been an exception. He lasted 10 years in the GM seat for the Chargers and had a quarterback to build around in Philip Rivers.
Yet it still wasn't enough, given other blunders.
So many of the firings on Monday, though, were linked by the common denominator of poor quarterbacking. The Jaguars, who have had a series of draft-day blunders and a few glaring cases of free agency overspending, are floundering with Blaine Gabbert.
Buffalo re-upped with Ryan Fitzpatrick, and now Gailey is gone after three years.
The Cardinals? Whisenhunt won more playoff games than any other coach in franchise history and took Arizona to a Super Bowl when he had a legit quarterback in Kurt Warner. But injury-riddled Kevin Kolb has flopped, and the replacements were even less impressive. And after plummeting to a 5-11 finish following a 4-0 start, the Cardinals missed the playoffs for a third consecutive season.
Then again, Lovie Smith had a decent quarterback in Jay Cutler.
That quarterback, it turns out, played under three offensive coordinators and never seemed to have an offensive scheme that was consistent enough to win big.
So they'll start over again. Like Whisenhunt, Smith has a Super Bowl appearance on his resume. No matter. What he didn't have was enough victories, especially after the Bears faded from a 7-1 start to miss the playoffs. Would one more win have saved his job? Smith is the rare coach to get fired after a 10-win season.
Then again, Marty Schottenheimer was fired by the Chargers after the 2006 season after a 14-2 campaign resulted in an early playoff exit.
It's a cold business. Especially on Black Monday, which for many NFL coaches and GMs is the coldest day of the year.

Going on vacation?
Everyone looks forward to taking vacations. Unfortunately, this can be an opportune time for a burglar to strike, especially if there are obvious signs that your home is unoccupied. Whether gone for a day or a couple of weeks, take the following precautions:
Check all doors and windows to make sure they are securely locked. If any locks need to be replaced or reinforced, make these improvements before you leave.
Use automatic timers on interior lights. A timer can also be used on a portable radio.
Use photo electric cells (which screw into the light socket) on exterior lights. These devices will "automatically" turn lights on/off depending on the level of darkness.
If you will be gone for an extended period of time, arrange to have your lawn mowed. It is also a good idea to ask a neighbor to park a car in your driveway and to use your garbage container.
Make sure that items such as children's toys, ladders, lawn furniture, etc. are put away.
A trusted neighbor should be informed of your vacation plans; when you are leaving and expected return date. Leave a key with a trusted friend or neighbor so that the position of curtains, blinds can be changed. Also if you don't cancel newspapers and postal delivery, ask them to pick up and place in the house.
Inform trusted neighbors on all four sides of when you'll be gone so that a complete look-out is maintained. Be selective, however, in announcing your plans to anyone else.
If you have an alarm system, make sure it's activated when you leave. Leave the alarm key with a neighbor and show them how to turn the system on and off.

U.S. Women Advance to Medal Round with Five-Set Win Over Italy
Bill Kauffman
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
BEIJING (Aug. 19, 2008) – Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) served the U.S. Olympic Women's Indoor Volleyball Team to leads of 8-0 and 5-0 in the fourth and fifth sets, respectively, to help the fourth-ranked Americans rally for a 20-25, 25-21, 19-25, 25-18, 15-6 victory over second-ranked Italy on Tuesday evening in the Olympic Games quarterfinal match at Beijing's Capital Gymnasium.
The U.S. advances to the semifinals on Thursday and will play at 12:30 p.m. against third-ranked Cuba, which defeated Serbia 26-24, 25-19, 26-24 earlier in the day. Team USA, looking to reach the Olympic medal stand for the first time since 1992 (bronze in 1992, silver in 1984), is ranked fourth in the world.
"For the last four years, we have not won over Italy," U.S. Olympic Women's Indoor Volleyball Coach Lang Ping (Beijing) said. "It is a great team, very consistent with great defensive passing. It is hard to find a weakness. We have been thinking very hard the last two days how to play Italy. We did a great job technically preparing for Italy. This competition is very tight. You either win and keep going, or you lose and your out."
China won a battle of pool third-place finishers against Russia with a 25-22, 27-25, 25-19 victory in the quarterfinals prior the American-Italian tussle. The host country will face world's top-ranked Brazil, which swept Japan 25-12, 25-20, 25-16 in the other quarterfinal match.
Italy won the first set 25-20 thanks to a 7-2 run after the score was tied 15-all. Team USA bounced back in the second set as it lost an early 4-0 lead, but rallied from a 17-15 deficit to win 25-21. Italy jumped to an 11-3 lead and pushed the advance to 18-9 before holding off an American 7-2 surge to win 25-19.
"In the fourth set when we were behind, we tried to make a few position changes," Lang Ping said. "I think it was very successful, and I would like to congratulate my players."
The U.S. maintained the momentum from late in the third set by scoring the first eight points of the fourth set on Berg's serve en route to easy 25-18 victory. Berg took the service line to start the tiebreaker and helped the U.S. to a 5-0 lead which resulted in a 15-6 victory.
"I can't even describe how we feel, but we are happy," U.S. Olympic Women's Indoor Volleyball Team captain Robyn Ah Mow-Santos (Honolulu) said. "We had a couple meetings earlier today, and we knew this was going to be a difficult match. We have been the underdogs against Italy the last four or five times. The 12 of us said this was going to be a team effort, and it was a big team effort. I am going to have to give props to Lindsey Berg for coming in and firing up the team big time."
Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) led the U.S. attack with 14 kills, three blocks and two aces for 19 points. Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.), playing in her fourth Olympics and in search for her first medal, racked up 15 kills on 20 attacks to go with two blocks for 17 points. Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) totaled 17 points on 12 kills, four blocks and an ace. Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) chalked up nine kills, three blocks and an ace.
Kim Willoughby (Napoleonville, La.) came off the bench in the first four sets to spark the Americans with nine kills on 14 errorless attacks. Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.) contributed eight points in the victory. Berg, who started the last two sets after subbing in the first three, tallied three aces and a block. Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) led the defense with 10 digs to go with 11 excellent service receptions on 23 attempts. Ah Mow-Santos handed out 23 assists, while Berg chipped in 21 assists coming off the bench.
The U.S. started captain Ah Mow-Santos at setter, Tom and Glass at outside hitter, Scott-Arruda and Bown at middle blocker and Haneef-Park at opposite.
"My congratulations to the USA team," Italian Head Coach Massimo Barbolini said. "They deserved to win. Team USA demonstrated a high level, and it is a strong team. Particularly when they are in difficulty, they have ways to respond to the situation. Also, our errors helped them."
Team USA held commanding advantages of 15-6 in blocks and 7-2 in aces to help offset 24 points provided to Italy on errors. The Americans turned in a 34.5 attack efficiency (kills minus errors divided by attacks) while limiting Italy to a 29.1 efficiency. Italy did hold a 42-31 dig margin.
"I have been through so many big competitions and the finals of major competitions," Lang Ping said in regards to whether she is proud of the accomplishment of leading the American squad into the medal round. "I actually really cheer and congratulate my players. I am very proud of them."
Team USA has now played three consecutive five-matches, all with the same result. The U.S. has fallen behind 2-1 in sets, only to come back to win the fourth and fifth sets.
The U.S. and Italy finished pool play 4-1 and second in their respective groups, but were forced to contend against one another immediately in the quarterfinals with the drawing of lots on Sunday determining the opponents for the pool's second- and third-place teams.
Francesca Piccinini and Taismary Aguero had matching 17 points for Italy, while Nadia Centoni turned in 14 points in the loss.
Prior to today, the U.S. had never played Italy during the Olympic Games and was winless in five matches versus the Italians at other tournaments during the current Olympic quadrennial. With the Team USA victory, the Americans break the drought and improve to 26-23 in the all-time series since 1983. Italy won both meetings this year during the FIVB World Grand Prix.
The route through the Olympic Games has been an emotional roller coaster for the American squad. On its first day of competition on Aug. 9, Team USA was informed of the tragic death of Todd Bachman, father-in-law of the U.S. Men's Olympic Indoor Volleyball Team and father of 2004 U.S. Olympic volleyball player Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman. Less than five hours of learning of the death, the team won an emotion-filled four-set match over Japan. However, the team suffered a letdown the following match on Aug. 11 against Cuba before bouncing back to defeat Venezuela on Aug. 13. Team USA played its best match of the tournament on Aug. 15 in defeating host China. It concluded the five-match round-robin pool with a five-set come-from-behind victory over Poland.
In preparing for the rematch with Cuba, Lang Ping and the U.S. coaching staff and players will not enjoy the spoils of victory for too long.
"I think for the last two matches, it will be tougher," Lang Ping said. "I want to take a 10-minute break and relax a little bit and probably early tomorrow, we will have to quickly think about how to prepare for the next game. I think it is important for the players to recover from their physical conditioning."
Team USA is ranked fourth in the world by the FIVB taking into accounts results of the 2008 FIVB World Grand Prix, 2007 FIVB World Cup, 2007 Continental Championship, 2006 World Championships and 2004 Olympic Games.
The U.S. Women qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games by finishing third at the 2007 FIVB World Cup, the first qualifying event for the Olympic Games. Team USA has earned a silver medal at the 1984 Olympic Games and a bronze medal at the 1992 Olympic Games.

The U.S. reached the first technical timeout of the opening set leading 8-6, only to have Italy rally for three unanswered points and a 9-8 lead. After trading the advantage twice, Italy gained a two-point cushion at 15-13. Bown and Tom answered with kills to tie it at 15-all. However, Italy secured seven of the next nine points to establish a 22-17 advantage en route to the 25-20 victory.
Team USA bolted a 4-0 advantage in the second set with two kills from Haneef-Park, only to have Italy close to within one at 7-6. Italy gained the lead at 11-10 and stretched it to two at 13-11. Tom tallied consecutive kills to tie it at 13-all, only to have Italy score three of the next four points. Trailing 16-14, Lang Ping substituted Willoughby and Berg, and it paid dividends with three kills from Willoughby as part of a 4-1 American run to take an 18-17 lead. With the score tied at 19-all, Haneef-Park came back into the set and provided four kills on a 5-2 run to establish a 23-21 advantage. Tom ended the set with a block and kill at 25-21. Haneef-Park tallied eight points in the set, while Tom totaled seven.
Italy powered its way to an 11-3 lead in the third set, which stretched to 18-9 with the U.S. scoring only once on its serve during that period. However, Berg followed a Bown kill and block with an ace as part of a 3-0 run that kick-started the offense which closed the gap to 20-16 with a Willoughby kill after two Italy miscues. Although Italy won 25-19, the late momentum of the third set with the substitution put in by Lang Ping was pivotal the rest of the match.
Scott-Arruda started the fourth set with two kills and a block, followed by a Glass block and Berg ace for a 5-0 advantage. Berg continued the serve through the first technical timeout leading 8-0 with two additional aces after an Italian error. Scott-Arruda and Tom turned in consecutive kills to stretch the lead to 11-3 and traded points with the Italians until they managed consecutive points at 20-14. Trailing 22-14 after a Glass block, Italy scored three straight points to make it interesting at 22-17. But the U.S. did not allow Italy to score on its serve the rest of the way with a 25-18 victory.
Haneef-Park started the fifth set with a kill and block to go with kills from Glass and Scott-Arruda around an Italian error to yield a 5-0 U.S. lead to start the fifth set. After an Italian point ending Berg's serve, Scott-Arruda picked up back-to-back kills to establish a 7-1 lead. After a U.S. service error, Tom and Haneef-Park answered with consecutive blocks leading to a 9-4 advantage. Team USA put together a 4-0 run for a commanding 13-4 margin capped by a Haneef-Park ace after kills from Tom and Bown and block from Berg. The U.S. sided out the rest of the set with Bown scoring the last two American points for a 15-6 victory.

Rams' annual competition far from typical
By CHRIS WAGENHEIM
Published May 24, 2007
Ridgewood's annual bodybuilding competition featured much more than chiseled students showing off their muscles.
In its 18th year, the competition on Friday was just the tip of the extravagant iceberg.
The festivities were kicked off by an acrobatic break-dancing team. Then, one of the bodybuilders sang the national anthem before the competition began. Two faculty members competed in an arm-wrestling match in the middle of the event, and a death metal band comprised of students brought the eccentric night to an end.
Junior Ryan Nye, who was attending his third competition, said the event isn't as much about bodybuilding as it is about the students getting together one last time before the seniors graduate. The Class of 2007 was done Wednesday, and the rest of the school finishes Friday.
"Not everyone is into death metal, but it brings the kids that are, here, " said J.D. Baker, life coach and coordinator of the event. "The dance team comes with their families, all the contestants and their families. I have kids in the back of my classes that don't want to be a part of anything, and this event brings them here."
The gym was packed. Students, parents and teachers all came to see Mr. and Miss Ridgewood crowned.
Some were also there to see the arm-wrestling match between science teacher and former WCW wrestler Dean Liptak and football coach Brian Wachtel. The arm-wrestling match took place halfway through the event and was nothing short of a reincarnation of a pro wrestling bout. With theme music, prefight banter, drama and no clear winner, it was all there for anyone who remembers watching a match as a kid.
As for the competition itself, the 6-foot trophy and title of Mr. Ridgewood went to Barry Johansonbaugh, while weightlifting champ Meghan Seltman was crownd Miss Ridgewood.
Seltman, female athlete of the year at Ridgewood and a member of the its hall of fame, was one of only seven girls to compete.
"I wish I would have had more girls this year, but you know, they don't feel comfortable and I understand, " Baker said. "Even some of the skinny guys up there, I give them all the credit in the world to get up there and have the nerve."
Used to the challenge of competing in male-dominated sports, Seltman, a senior, said it was a tough transition between strength conditioning and body sculpting.
"The transition is not easy at all, " said Seltman, who sang the national anthem at the event. "It kind of gets me down, because I lose a lot of my strength because I had to switch reps and everything."
When asked what she was going to do with the 6-foot trophy, Seltman said she was going to move a dresser out of her room to make space for it.
"I just wanted to come out here, do my best and go out with a bang for my school, " Seltman said, "because I am really going to miss it."

Yay, i mean, yeah nobody should ever surf there ever. It sucks and is never even worth checking, just go to a different beach.
Yay, i mean, yeah nobody should ever surf there ever. It sucks and is never even worth checking, just go to a different beach.
Welcome to the east coast. Did you move here from somewhere else?
Yo...the last time I checked we lived on the east coast. Unless your a lucky Hatteras resident, this is the hand we are all delt. Embrace what we have...Wrightsville AND CB are better than most places in North and South Carolina. I suggest some wave therapy for you my friend...book a ticket to central america and get lost in the jungles!!! :D
Every beach has its days, man. The bridge is always open at CB!
I caught it awesome in CB yesterday around low tide when the wind died out. WB hasn't been working since the last swell, but the banks have been pretty effed up for most of the year it seems.
CB has a better swell window for ENE swells, but gets a lot choppier when the wind is from the North. Guess you can't have it both ways--I got lucky with the wind going slack.
CB is where I go mostly because of the crowds and ego's BUT if the winds are blowing NE and there is swell then the spot to be is Masonboro hands down..
Good luck and let me know if you find that sweet spot ;)
No, don't go to Topsail. Wicked closeouts all the time. Break your neck.

The Blood Pressure Herbal Tea Tradition
The Chinese have used the herbs in this delicious, mild-tasting tea for thousands of years to help maintain healthy blood pressure function and to tonify the kidneys and liver. These herbs are said to nourish the kidneys and liver, calm liver yang and clear heat. Eucommia is highly esteemed as a longevity herb. In modern times, it has been researched for helping to maintain healthy blood pressure function. Uncaria, Chinese holly, mulberry, chrysanthemum and epimedium have a long history of use to tonify the kidney and liver. Fo-ti is a renowned longevity herb, used traditionally to help nourish the blood, build the system and tonify the kidney and liver. Regular tonification of the kidney and liver was believed to contribute to good health and longevity. It also was considered to help promote the healthy function of the back, bladder and joints.
Triple Leaf Tea's Ancient Chinese Medicinals
Traditional Chinese medicine began in approximately 2500 B.C. Recently, here in the West, people have discovered the value of this ancient system which focuses on aiding the body's own healing mechanisms through restoring harmony and balance. The Chinese system of herbology has been recorded in ancient texts which are studied and employed even today. This time tested knowledge has been passed on from generation to generation over the centuries.
Triple Leaf Tea comes from such a tradition. It is made in the U.S.A. by a Chinese American family-owned business. The company owner can remember stories of his own grandfather selling herbs and teas in his village in China. Today, these traditional Chinese herbal formulas are available to you. We wish you harmony and balance!
Suggested Use

Lowered my HBP

Lowered my HBP
I hated the medication I was taking-Inderal. It made me sluggish, sleepy and depressed. I took a gamble and started taking the tea-3xs a day. My blood pressure went from 170/100 to 112/76. This took about three weeks to obtain these results. I do have a blood pressure monitor and I test it three times a day. I would never say not to listen to your doctor-but there are other ways to lower your HBP. I also take yoga and I am working on losing weight. You need to take a holistic approach.

I bought this for my mother. She has been suffering from blood pressure lately. She really enjoys the taste, so it has been easy for her to drink it regularly. She has seen improvements in blood pressure too! Overall happy with the product.
Amazing! It works!

I gave it to my Aunt who is 93... the doctors were increasing more and more the dose of her drugs and they did not work. She took the tea and her BP got much better... still a bit high but it is the only thing that has worked for her. I also gave it to my step mom, now 76 with parkinson's and two days ago the doctors said she no longer needs her BP medicine! I am so happy she does not need medication anymore! Most BP medicines have very detrimental side effects.

Shrimp Bisque
- 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, shelled and deveined, shells reserved
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 2 1 eeks, trimmed, halved lengthwise, and rinsed well
- 3 stalks celery, cut into big chunks
- 2 carrots, cut into big chunks
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 strips orange zest
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups heavy cream
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Finely grated orange zest, for garnish
- Finely chopped fresh chives, for garnish
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and melt the butter into it. Then add the shrimp shells, the leeks, celery, carrots, 3 sprigs thyme, the bay leaf, orange zest, and tomato paste. Cook, stirring every now and then, until the shells are red and the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
Take the pot off the heat and carefully pour in the brandy. Ignite the brandy with a long kitchen match and let burn until the flame subsides. Return the pot to the heat, sprinkle in the flour, give it a stir, and cook for another 2 minutes. Now add water to cover and deglaze, scraping up all the browned bits on the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add the cream and bring to a boil. Immediately turn the heat down to low and gently simmer until the soup is reduced and thickened, 30 to 45 minutes. Strain into a clean pot and season with salt and pepper.
Chop the shrimp. Return the bisque to a simmer, add the shrimp and cook 2 to 3 minutes just to cook the shrimp through. Give the bisque a final taste for seasoning, pour it into warmed soup bowls and serve garnished with the orange zest and chives.

BBC 2 Arena: "The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour Revisited" documentary
Arena presents the greatest Beatles story never told, a blockbuster double-bill. Beginning with a documentary full of fabulous Beatles archive material never shown before anywhere in the world.
Songs you'll never forget, the film you've never seen and a story that's never been heard. In 1967, in the wake of the extraordinary impact of Sgt. Pepper, The Beatles made a film - a dreamlike story of a coach daytrip, a magical mystery tour. It was seen by a third of the nation, at 8.35pm on BBC1 on Boxing Day - an expectant public, hoping for some light entertainment for a family audience.
Magical Mystery Tour was greeted with outrage and derision by middle England and the establishment media.
'How dare they', they cried, 'They're not film directors, who do they think they are?' they howled. Where were the four lovable moptops of Help! and A Hard Day's Night?
What propelled The Beatles to make this surreal, startling and - at the time - utterly misunderstood film?
