I was older and wasn't embarrassed about it, but it was like transporting a canoe around with you! And because of this, I left it in the locker at school a lot. And because of this, I could never make a pleasant sound out of it. And because of this, I ditched orchestra a lot... Thankfully I was allowed to play electric bass in the jazz band, which I really enjoyed. If I remember correctly though, you could take the peg out of the bottom of the bass and replace it with a wheeled peg, making it easier to get it to my pickup truck in the rare event that I took it home to practice.Jeffhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1159298123684651392006-09-26T12:15:00.000-07:002006-09-26T12:15:00.000-07:00I'd be able to pee in a public urinal...I'd be able to pee in a public urinal...Nathanhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1159043297895154492006-09-23T13:28:00.000-07:002006-09-23T13:28:00.000-07:00I love the image of you sprinting with the bass ov...I love the image of you sprinting with the bass over your head...while in the midst of 7th grade angst.

Thanks !
We had everything we needed at the apartment and it is very well situated, close to the Old Town. Great communication with hosts Marion and Walter, always available and quick to respond. Thank you and I would definitely recommend this place.
Although located well equipped well maintained. Very welcome
Bien situé bien équipé bien entretenu . Très bon accueil
Have just returned from our lovely stay in Salzburg. The apartment is ideally placed for walking into town and was clean and well equipped with everything you might need in the kitchen. Also provided were 2 fans which we couldn't have done without as it was very hot during our stay. My only criticism was that we were not left with enough toilet roll or another bag for the bin. I have no hesitation though in recommending Wimdu and this apartment.
Sweet 1-bedroom apartment in the Old Town. It is my opinion only for two, just because the house has only one room. I mistakenly assumed based on the photos of 2 rooms. The apartment is well equipped. Sure you can take the car does not go directly, but it is just right in the old town, because you have to reckon with carrying bags and sometimes a bit of noise. This one has everything in his face All in all, very nice!
Süßes 1-Zimmer-Appartement mitten in der Altstadt. Es eignet sich meiner Meinung nach nur für zwei Personen, da die Wohnung eben nur ein Zimmer hat. Ich bin fälschlicherweise aufgrund der Fotos von 2 Zimmern ausgegangen. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet. Klar kommt man mit dem Auto nicht direkt hin, aber es liegt eben direkt in der Altstadt, da muss man mit Kofferschleppen und teilweise etwas Lärm rechnen. Dafür hat man alles vor der Nase Alles in allem sehr schön!
Lovely apartment wished we could have stayed longer. Everything as described.
Thank you for having us
Marvelous apartment right near main train station and only 10mim walk to river and old town. Beautifully decorated and all equipment that was needed. Wifi worked great. Key handover was efficient and friendly. Thank you for a great experience!
Beautiful apartment, very well equipped and very well located. Moving to the city center is easy. The bus stop is just steps to the right out of the building. Cleanliness excellent.

Here's what we know about the 2014 edition of D.C. United: This is an MLS team. The 2013 squad was only an MLS team in that it played in the league and wore D.C. United uniforms; its results suggested it should be relegated, disbanded and maybe publicly flogged. But the 2014 team is definitely an MLS team that has MLS players and will even beat a few MLS teams. Catch the fever!
Management's goal this offseason seemed to be to build a non-embarrassing team. It was a project like building the Six Million Dollar Man, except that they're just trying to build a man who can walk and remember to wear his underwear beneath his pants. D.C. United will maybe not be a good team – let's not fly too close to the sun here – but it should be a team that will have fans leaving the stadium thinking "that was an MLS-caliber product and claims to the contrary would not form the basis of a successful lawsuit." They've brought in the likes of Davy Arnaud, Jeff Parke, Sean Franklin, Bobby Boswel l… these are objectively verifiable MLS players. Prove that they're not!
This year's version of D.C. United will also be America's team: Of the 28 players currently on the roster, 25 are either American or have played extensively in MLS. Two of the remaining three went to college in the United States. The only true import is Christian Fernandez, and no, Christian Fernandez has not already played for D.C. United. You're thinking of Christian Castillo, Pablo Hernandez, Christian Gomez (version 2) and Gonzalo Martinez. Your brain has lumped them together into a single pile of kinda similar-sounding mediocrity.
I understand the impulse to buy American; United's recent foreign signings have been the least successful imports this side of Piers Morgan. But I also think it's defeatist to just bail on your foreign scouting department. You might as well just sign whoever walks by the stadium, or the nieces and nephews of top executives. You're supposed to be scouring the globe, not scouring the Bethesda-Bowie corridor.
But United should be remarkably competent this year. Admirably mediocre. Maybe even reasonably good. The defense should be good. It's no longer depending on teenagers to carry the team. I don't think United will score much, but prove me wrong, guys. Prove me wrong.
I'm going to spend the season trying to enjoy the proficient product on the field and ignoring the fact that the likes of Michael Bradley, Jermaine Defoe and Maurice Edu have gone elsewhere. I'll appreciate the fact that United is a playoff contender, because in MLS any team not under indictment in The Hague for crimes against soccer is a playoff contender. I'm not going to compare the decent team we have against the good team we might have had with a little more ambition. "Tradition" has always been a watchword for D.C. United; it was stitched on the back of the jerseys last year. Given its recent tradition, maybe this year's jerseys should say "absence of embarrassment."
One programming-related note: I've enjoyed sullying – some would say "contributing to" – Steven Goff's blog for the past four years, and I look forward to ruining it some more. But I won't be able to contribute as much, as I have recently been hired as a writer for "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver," coming this April on HBO. I'll need to channel most of my mocking-others-from-a-safe-distance abilities to that show. I'll still chip in with posts from time to time, but I'll no longer be able to recap every D.C. United and U.S. national team game. I have July 20, Chivas USA at United, circled on my calendar as one to definitely skip.

La Coruña Vacation Packages
La Coruña is a sprawling, modern metropolis with two golden-sand city beaches. With an abundant supply of fresh fish available in the waters off the coast, this town is considered to be one of the region's top dining destinations. Visit the Old Town to view a few pretty Romanesque churches.
The city's most famous site, the UNESCO-listed Torre de Hércules, is found at the northern end of the city. Evidence suggests that this lighthouse was constructed by the Romans in the 1st century. Most of the lighthouse was rebuilt in the 18th century, but look for inscribed foundation stones that remain from the Roman original. Climb up 242 steps to the top of the lighthouse to see fantastic views over the city and coast.
Notice the distinct glass-fronted buildings found along Paseo Marítimo, which have earned La Coruña the nickname the "Glass City." The glass balconies help to provide protection against the town's frequently wet and windy weather.
Walk around pretty Plaza de María Pita, which separates La Coruña's Old Town from the newer city. This central square is named for local housewife María Pita, who is said to have fired a cannon to alert the town when Sir Francis Drake's troops attacked in the 16th century.
Look inside the Museo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, a modern museum dedicated to science and technology. Don't miss the unique room that displays a technological innovation from each year of the 20th century.
Walk along the golden sands of one of the town's lovely beaches. Playa del Orzán is particularly popular with surfers, while the calm waters of Playa de Riazor are best for swimming.
Reach La Coruña by plane, bus or train from Madrid and Barcelona. Visit in August, when the weather is warmest and a number of lively festivals take place.

Quincy Jones, Sen. Ted Kennedy and Rep. Marsha Blackburn to be saluted
Legendary artist and producer Quincy Jones — 27-time GRAMMY winner and The Recording Academy's ambassador for its 50th Celebration — will headline a day of music advocacy as part of The Academy's GRAMMYs on The Hill activities in the nation's capital on Sept. 5, it was announced today by The Recording Academy.
Events will include a unique afternoon jam session with GRAMMY-winning artist Keb' Mo' and members of Congress. Later that evening at an awards gala, Jones will be honored for his lifelong contributions to American music, and honorees Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) will be recognized for their legislative support of the arts and music creators.
Among the luminaries joining Keb' Mo' to salute the honorees will be four-time GRAMMY winner and Recording Academy Chair Jimmy Jam, Academy President Neil Portnow, nine-time GRAMMY winner Ray Benson (of Asleep At The Wheel), "Godfather of Go-Go" Chuck Brown, GRAMMY-winning songwriter Brett James ("Jesus Take The Wheel"), country superstar John Rich (of Big & Rich), four-time GRAMMY winner BeBe Winans and seven-time GRAMMY winner CeCe Winans.
"GRAMMYs on the Hill connects top music makers — from singers and songwriters to producers and engineers — with members of Congress in Washington to shed light on the effect music has in enriching our lives," said Portnow. "This year, as part of our 50th Celebration activities, we will highlight the importance of music preservation and education so that it continues to thrive in our culture for years to come."
Throughout the day, more than 120 music professionals from across the country will come to Washington to speak to legislators about promoting policies that improve the environment for music and its makers. Earlier in the day on Capitol Hill, the GRAMMY Foundation will showcase its programs with a special performance by Keb' Mo', who will jam with members of the Recording Arts and Sciences Congressional Caucus (the "Congressional GRAMMY Band" — a group of musician members of Congress who have informally jammed at previous Academy advocacy events) in the Cannon House Office Building Caucus Room on Capitol Hill.
That evening, GRAMMYs on the Hill will move to the ballroom of the Willard Inter-Continental Hotel for its 7th annual gala dinner where The Recording Academy will honor Jones, Sen. Kennedy and Rep. Blackburn. Chesnee High School of South Carolina will receive the GRAMMY Foundation's Signature School Award and Scholarship for its outstanding commitment to music education.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My first question is when a subpoena is served by the DA of one state on a resident of CA how does the subpoena need to be served (e.g. mail, in person)? This is a subpoena that is going to be served on me (in CA) from another state. This state wants my testimony in a criminal matter. I am disabled and cannot travel to another state. Once served in CA can I go before a local judge to prove undue hardship (e.g. letters from physicians)? Also note this is a death penalty trial and the state serving the subpoena does not have any type of witness protection and I also can't remember much regarding the event.Concerning the first question....do they have to serve me in person or can they simply have the subpoena left with someone else? Thanks for everyone's helpful response(s). Wow...seems as though witness(s) do not have any protections (unless one is the victim of a sexual crime)., but criminal defendants have loads of rights.
If you are validly served PERSONALLY and not by mail, you have to appear or a warrant may be issued for your arrest. I suggest retaining counsel to deal with the subpoena. Going to a local judge won't do any good because a local judge has nothing to do with the subpoena. The issuing state has to provide you with travel expenses, including plane or bus fare, motel expenses and food.
The information and legal suggestions made herein do not in any way create an attorney-client relationship. The responses provided herein discuss general principles of law and should not be relied upon by the asker in making legal decisions. Only an attorney who has met with the asker and fully reviewed the facts and circumstances of the asker's individual case should be relied upon for legal advice. If you find my suggestions helpful, please mark the appropriate box as helpful.Ask a similar question
Hello, Thanks for the response. My question is by law, do they have to serve me in person? The issue is I can't travel due to medical reasons. The other state is over 2K miles away. Heart and lung issues prevent me from flying. If I get on a plane, literally, I will die. My questions are based on the Uniform Act.
Yes. They have to serve you in person. Many times when people get a subpoena in the mail they call the DA and guess what, you've admitted receipt of the subpoena land you've been served. If you get a subpoena, do not call to let them know you got the subpoena.
A subpoena must be served personally. DAs often serve subpoenas by mail and ask you to call to acknowledge receipt. If you do that a Court may consider you served.
Beyond that there is a procedure that must be followed when another state wants to command your presence in their courts. This usually involves getting a CA court to issue a subpoena commanding your attendance and personal service.
If your health is truly a concern you need an attorney to help you deal with this.Ask a similar question
Personal service is required. Forget about local courts, they have no jurisdiction. Seek counsel.Ask a similar question
Hire an attorney. Dont speak to DAs or law enforcement who may wish to trap you into acknowledging that you received a mailed subpoena (which isn't sufficient). An attorney will advise you further on how to legally avoid having to testify in this matter. Don't try to handle this yourself, by going to court and attempting to prove "undue hardship". This won't work and may end up acting as a waiver of any right you have to legally avoid testifying. Since this is a state court trial, you most likely will not be provided any witness protection that you might need in a serious death penalty case. Beat of luckAsk a similar question
A subpoena mailed or personally delivered from an out of state court has no legal effect in the State of California. A lawful order requiring out of state attendance at a trail requires the party seeking attendance of the witness to obtain or order from a court of lawful jurisdiction in the state where the witness resides compelling the witness to attend trail in the other state.Ask a similar question

Richard Pzena: Why Equities - Why Now
Posted by: gurufocus (IP Logged)
Date: May 10, 2010 08:49PM
We offer the following observations: - Equities in general are attractively valued, and the equity risk premium is wider than normal;
- Companies are well positioned to expand margins and sub-stantially increase profitability, having slashed operating costs and strengthened their balance sheets during the downturn; and
- Leading companies have positioned themselves to weather a wide range of economic scenarios, and require only modest top-line growth to generate meaningful profit improvement.
Why Equities - Why NowFirst we examine the relative attractiveness of equity investments versus fixed income alternatives from a high-level perspective. Figure 1 presents the risk premium investors have assigned to equities in the US market over the last 30 years. The current risk premium, defined as the expected return on equities less the risk free rate, is at a very attractive level: 5.9%, versus an average of 2.9% over the last 30 years. Other than the once-in-a-generation peak reached during the recent financial crisis, we have only seen this wide a premium four times in the last 30 years. Today, based on our dividend discount model, the expected return on equities is 9.7%, a substantial premium to 10-year treasury yields of 3.8% and yields on corporate debt of 4.6%.

" The land of the free has become the land of the jailed. Between 1973 and 2000 the rate of incarceration in the United States more than quadrupled. There are more people behind bars (literally and proportionally) than any time in American history. One in every 32 adults is currently on probation, in jail or prison, or on parole. There are more prisoners than farmers. There are more prisoners than there are Lutherans. There are more prisoners than there are Native Americans. "
As long as there will be the need to build prisons and fill them up with people, the worldwide human society will always be a primitive example of incapacity to recognize our single responsability towards each other. A society that still somehow produces people that end up, for whatever reason, doing something damaging for others and that as the only proposed solution proceeds to arrest and lock them up, turning them even worse in most cases, is a sorry instance of what it should be in the 21st century.

A Texas Matchmaker HTML version
XIX. Horse Brands
Before gathering the fillies and mares that spring, and while riding the range,
locating our horse stock, Pasquale brought in word late one evening that a
_ladino_ stallion had killed the regular one, and was then in possession of the
_manada_. The fight between the outlaw and the ranch stallion had evidently
occurred above the mouth of the Ganso and several miles to the north of the
home river, for he had accidentally found the carcass of the dead horse at a
small lake and, recognizing the animal by his color, had immediately scoured the
country in search of the band. He had finally located the _manada_, many miles
off their range; but at sight of the vaquero the _ladino_ usurper had deserted the
mares, halting, however, out of gunshot, yet following at a safe distance as
Pasquale drifted them back. Leaving the _manada_ on their former range,
Pasquale had ridden into the ranch and reported. It was then too late in the day
to start against the interloper, as the range was fully twenty-five miles away, and
we were delayed the next morning in getting up speedy saddle horses from
distant and various _remudas_, and did not get away from the ranch until after
dinner. But then we started, taking the usual pack mules, and provisioned for a
week's outing.
Included in the party was Captain Frank Byler, the regular home crowd, and
three Mexicans. With an extra saddle horse for each, we rode away merrily to
declare war on the _ladino_ stallion. "This is the third time since I've teen
ranching here," said Uncle Lance to Captain Frank, as we rode along, "that I've
had stallions killed. There always have been bands of wild horses, west here
between the Leona and Nueces rivers and around Espontos Lake. Now that
country is settling up, the people walk down the bands and the stallions escape,
and in drifting about find our range. They're wiry rascals, and our old stallions
don't stand any more show with them than a fat hog would with a _javaline_.
That's why I take as much pride in killing one as I do a rattlesnake."
We made camp early that evening on the home river, opposite the range of the
_manada_. Sending out Pasquale to locate the band and watch them until dark,
Uncle Lance outlined his idea of circling the band and bagging the outlaw in the
uncertain light of dawn. Pasquale reported on his return after dark that the
_manada_ were contentedly feeding on their accustomed range within three
miles of camp. Pasquale had watched the band for an hour, and described the
_ladino_ stallion as a cinnamon-colored coyote, splendidly proportioned and
unusually large for a mustang.
Naturally, in expectation of the coming sport, the horses became the topic around
the camp-fire that night. Every man present was a born horseman, and there was
a generous rivalry for the honor in telling horse stories. Aaron Scales joined the

Jeff Lynds isn't surprised he has the second favourite in Saturday's $300,000 Spring Classic at Hastings - he is just surprised that it is Booming.
Two weeks ago Lynds was feeling quietly confident of his chances of defending the Spring Classic title with Wall Street but that has hit two major snags.
The first is the comeback form of local hero Jimmy Choux, who will start well into red odds on Saturday, but the second is a little more problematic. Wall Street isn't in the Spring Classic any more.
"I decided he wasn't ready for a hard 2040m yet," Lynds told the Herald.
"The way he hit the line behind Jimmy Choux two weeks ago he looks like he needs another mile race before stepping up to 2040m so he will head across to the Toorak in Melbourne next week.
"That is a better lead-up for him to the Cox Plate, which is still our main aim for the spring."
Lynds believes Wall Street can still return to his best for his second Cox Plate tilt but says being a year older he simply needs more work and racing.
"He was bigger starting this season than last season so we will have to miss this week. Still, the Toorak isn't a bad second option."
That decision was probably made easier by the spanking Jimmy Choux gave Wall Street in the Windsor Park Plate two week ago and the fact that Lynds has a serious second stringer in Booming.
While he is still regarded as a topline handicapper, being set for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups in the next five weeks, Booming emerged as a genuine weight-for-age performer on these shores last season.
He upset Red Ruler in the Zabeel Classic over 2000m at Ellerslie on Boxing Day, stunned punters in the Thorndon Mile at Trentham a month later and pushed Red Ruler close in the International Stakes at Te Rapa.
The 7-year-old showed the required improvement from last first-up over 1400m to run on into fifth in the Windsor Park and Lynds says he is ready to at least give Jimmy Choux a race on Saturday.
"I think Jimmy Choux will be better suited to the 2040m on Saturday because he is on his way to the Cox Plate, whereas my horse has the big staying races as his aim.
"But at his best this horse [Booming] can match it with most weight-for-age horses and if he is in the zone I think he can give them a fright on Saturday."
Bookmakers will be hoping punters believe that, too, as they have been left struggling to find a horse to help balance their book for the Spring Classic, with Lion Tamer and now Wall Street in Melbourne and Mufhasa not being asked to stretch his talents to the 2040m.
That leaves just Booming and Red Ruler as weight-for-age winners among Jimmy Choux's rivals on Saturday, although Hold It Harvey has a group two victory to his name and was fourth in this race last season.
After that the field drops away to handicappers, headed by Auckland Cup winner Titch, in what would be one of the most disappointing fields drawn for the race known for years as the Kelt Capital.
Hence Jimmy Choux's $1.60 final field fixed-odds price after he drew barrier two yesterday in a market where Booming is the $4.50 second elect and Hold It Harvey at $8.
While value will be hard to find in the Classic, the Hawkes Bay Guineas looks a little harder to work out, with Peter McKay providing three chances, including impressive last-start winners Antonio Lombardo and Estrato as well as Quintero. They will clash with the promising Ginner Hart.

Where I stayed
With Hotel Daniel charging €9 for breakfast there was no way that we were going to eat there and thus, again, we woke late. Once we got our act together we walked back across to the station and purchased 24 hour public transport tickets from the �BB (Austrian Railways) ticket machines as the local public transport authority does not appear to have machines of their own. Unfortunately when we selected 2 tickets the machine printed them on only 1 piece of paper, the only way to denote that it represented 2 tickets being the price printed on it.
There were trams waiting in the Europaplatz at the front of the station so we hopped on the first one and rode down the hill toward the Mur River
As the tram approached and crossed the Mur things started to change. Buildings became much older, more people were around on foot and on bicycles and there was, of course, the famous Graz Kunsthaus. Again for those of you who are uninitiated, I guess it's time for Uncle Tom to give you a quick lesson. The Kunsthaus was built early this century as part of Graz's European Culture Capital 2003 activities. It partly includes an old fa�ade but is mainly an entirely new building, dubbed by the locals "the friendly alien" because of its modern shape and appearance. Belinda thinks it looks like a heart with too many valves, I just think it looks friggin' cool; I guess that's art for ya.
Anyway, we weren't stopping off at the Kunsthaus just yet, instead continuing on the tram 1 more stop to the Hauptplatz. Our goals were breakfast and tourist information but the first thing that caught my eye was Caf� Sacher. It's an official caf� of the Hotel Sacher brand, selling official "original" Sacher Torte just as I enjoyed with my parents in Vienna. Almost next door was tourism information, where we picked up general sights, modern architecture and public art tourist guides and maps. It was tempting to buy "No Kangaroos in Austria" shirts to wear the next day (Australia Day) but they weren't the best shirts and we didn't feel like blowing the cash
Continuing to walk down the main drag we soon found ourselves at Jakominiplatz, the main tram interchange in town, featuring an interesting array of lights and tram electricity poles, which was listed in the modern architecture guide. It was just off the platz that we found our breakfast, in a small bakery with 2 tables where the nice serving lady had never heard of a moccha. It was clear in this bakery that donuts are a local speciality, they are everywhere, but not in the American way. There are only a few varieties and it's all about the filling, not how much they've been fried and the covering.
Since it was Friday and the shops would only be open on Saturday morning Belinda wanted to check out any shopping opportunities sooner rather than later. This was compatible with my desire to walk around the innere stadt to get a feel for the town and explore some of its streets, alleys and squares. Inevitably we ended up in a supermarket, where we found a large amount of Lindt Cuba dark chocolate, which seems to be discontinued. Naturally we stocked up on the chocolate as well as some Wieselburger (Austrian) and Budweiser Budvar (Czech) beer along with 2 bananas and a 6 cent blood orange.
We continued to explore the charming centre of the city for a while before heading back to the hotel to dump our goods. With the hotel's free internet we had the opportunity to check for toy shops in town, where Belinda hoped to find some doll house accessories.
Another tram trip brought us back to the Hauptplatz, a very short walk away from the toy shop we had identified
From 1 shop to another; we were headed up toward the Schlossberg and happened along the main department store in Graz. Of course Belinda couldn't resist so in we went, ascending to the top floor, where the toy department can be found. Sadly for Belinda they had no doll house things but for me there was a large model train section to enjoy. An unexpected surprise was the carnivale section, which clearly demonstrated the different way that this season is celebrated in Austria compared to Switzerland. Where the shops in Basel, Lucerne and Zurich were selling scary, silly masks and tons of confetti here in Graz things were far more refined. On sale were ball dresses, ball masks and proper costumes for adults and children.
Not far from the department store was the town end of the Schlossberg, where one can ascend the zig-zag stairs or the lift inside the hill to reach the top. The lift was irresistible with its funky design and lights reflecting off the rocks, so we took it on the way up. From the top we could see the entire city around us but the setting sun prevented us from taking any decent photos. The journey back down was taken on the stairs, providing an ever-changing perspective of the city and nearby Mur River.
Across the road we travelled and then we found ourselves at the bridge down to the MurInsel. Also part of the city's European Capital of Culture activities, the MurInsel is a metal island built in the middle of the river with a caf�, playground and an amphitheatre
We took the bridge across to the Kunsthaus side of the river and from there caught a tram back up to Europaplatz, the station and our hotel. Another quick freshen-up ensued before we once again found ourselves on 1 of the city's newer trams down to the Hauptplatz. The folks at NordSee were kind enough to exchange our money for a nice dinner before we made our way back out to the tram stop.
This time we were on a different tram route, travelling south to the Finanzamt (Finance Department) stop. As can be expected, although only a short way from the centre of town, this part of town was pretty dead after dark but this is the location of the town's English Cinema. I suppose the fact that the city has not only an English only cinema but English bookshops as well is an indication of its trendiness.
The 6:15pm session of National Treasure: Book of Secrets was somewhat confusing because the titles and text were all in German, but the soundtrack was thankfully in English
Graz is one of only a few places in the Wickaublich! (Belinda and I made-up this term as a cross between Wicked! and unglaublich) segment of the trip where I'm spending more than 2 nights so we were graced with another full day in the city. Again, we indulged ourselves with another late start and breakfast consisted of bananas purchased the previous day.
Before getting any substantial food in the centre of the city we made a stop halfway to pop into the 2 storey model train shop that we had seen earlier. It was a nice setup, more oriented to 2nd hand sales, repairs and generally servicing the local community rather than selling new factory-made models, although they had a lot of that as well. The shop would be a great resource for local model train people; I guess I could live here!
Once back in the centre of Graz we briefly considered having our brunch at the Caf� Sacher but discounted this idea due to the prices and business of the caf� at the time. After a bit of walking we found a nice bakery with a large caf� area upstairs and out the back, where I had some lasagne and Bel had some vegetarian Sp�tzle. I couldn't resist the offer of beer with lunch so this would have to be the earliest in the day that I can remember having alcohol; I'm so European! Ha ha.
Depending on which way you look at it this can be a good or a bad thing: the take-away counter at the entry to the caf� got the best of us. We couldn't resist the yummy looking snacks behind the glass so as we left Belinda picked up some of the local donut fare while I hit it up with the local pastry scroll speciality. These snacks last intact for a while but were eaten soon enough, as we engaged in the following activities....
With the idea of trying the view from the Schlossberg with the Sun in at a different angle we headed on the tram straight to the Schlossbergbahn, a funicular that runs up the far side of the hill. Our public transport day ticket covered this as well but we did need to show it to the ticket officer so that we could be issued with barcodes for the turnstiles and gain admission to the platform
We arrived atop the berg at the opposite end to that of the lift and so we did a combination of the scenic walks around the old complex and through the gardens, travelling via the area we had visited the day prior. Unfortunately the main sights of Graz are to the north of the Schlossberg so in the winter the sun is never really at an angle that is conducive to good photography. Undeterred by this we simply snapped away, trying our best to block direct sunlight with our hands. For our descent on the funicular the ticket lady was initially less than inclined to believe that our single piece of paper was indeed 2 tickets until we had argued with her for a while.
It was finally time to visit, to go inside the Kunsthaus, just across the Mur and a bit down from the bottom of the Schlossberg. The building is as cool inside as it is out, taking concrete construction from boring straight lines and hard surfaces to flowing, semi-freeform shapes. Guests enter in the lobby, where there is the ticket desk, shop and restaurant
It seems as though they cycle through their exhibitions quickly and on the day of our visit only 1 space was being used, showing some weird black and white audio visual works made already this year and late last year. To access this space we rode the travelator from the lobby, gliding up into this dark hole in the ceiling; very cool way to transition from normality to a random exhibition space.
The top space was being transformed for the next exhibition but we did get to see the inside of those famous "valves" from the walkway, over the side of this space to the "Spike". This is a long glass hall on the side of the alien, offering uninterrupted views over the Mur and toward the centre of Graz, which made for a nice escape from the art world, an oasis of normality. We were also able to see the skin of the building up close from here, which just added to our appreciation.
In the old fa�ade section at the end of the Kunsthaus one can find Camera Austria, a little photography exhibition space. During our visit they had some photos taken around South Africa, depicting various aspects of daily life for fringe groups, often near the border with Zimbabwe
From the Kunsthaus we made our way across the river on foot and went down to the Stadt Museum. These things are a hit-or-miss affair, sometimes they're really interesting and offer a good insight into how the city/town ended up the way it is (Vienna) while other times they're bizarre, random and stale (Marianske Lazne). Unfortunately for Graz its museum falls into the latter category. The entire city managed to get its act together for the Capital of Culture gig in 2003 and it shows, but somehow this museum was left behind.
There was a section with portraits and sculptures of well dead people that were in some way related to Graz, another displaying postcards of the city from the last 100 years and the last was an exhibition on some Formula 1 car driver from the area. None of these exhibits had any English text or explanations. The best bit was the postcard display because they were arranged in date order and physically depending on the perspective of the Schlossberg. One could walk around the room as if they were walking around the Schlossberg. It was fun to then move into the middle and look at the views out from the Schlossberg to the city.
Walking out from the museum we found ourselves once again over the river near the Kunsthaus, waiting to catch the tram back to the hotel. A child with a zeppelin balloon sparked a debate about the word "blimp" that lasted the entire trip back in the growing darkness. We rested in the hotel, preparing for the following day of travel; feeling satisfied that we have achieved our goals in Graz and ready to hit a new city.

Red Sox coaches recall Mariano Rivera's pro baseball beginnings
|03.09.13 at 9:33 am ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — On the day that Mariano Rivera announced the plans for the end of his career, a pair of Red Sox coaches recalled his professional origins.
Juan Nieves, the current Red Sox pitching coach, was nearing the terminus of his career when the Yankees signed him to a minor league deal in the spring of 1991. He was barely off the operating table of Dr. James Andrews at the time, following a last-ditch (and ultimately unsuccessful) effort to salvage his left shoulder, when he entered New York's system as a 26-year-old. And it was there, in minor league spring training, where he first glimpsed the greatness of Mariano Rivera.
Rivera was then 21, and was coming off a dazzling debut in the Rookie Level Gulf Coast League, where in 52 innings, he had a 0.17 ERA with 58 strikeouts and just seven walks in 1990. And when Nieves saw the young right-hander — just five years younger than Nieves, it's worth noting — that spring, his stuff was anything but overwhelming.
"He was mostly a straight fastball guy, threw some change ups, really solid delivery, was able to throw strikes all the time," said Nieves. "Just a great delivery, [but because of the lack of secondary stuff] he projected more as a reliever."
But there was something that made Nieves take notice, something that arrested his attention among the ranks of younger pitchers with whom he was working at the time.
"The serenity of a pitcher," Nieves exhaled. "You knew he had a presence about him right away. His dedication and routine — he was very calm, yet a gladiator on the mound. The records speak for it. Everything speaks for it. … But you could tell — the presence, the demeanor — it was coming. It was a matter of time."
That year also represented the first time that Brian Butterfield — now the Red Sox third base coach, then a Yankees roving infield instructor — had a chance to see the pitcher. In 1991, Rivera was being developed as a starter in Single-A Greensboro, where he had a 2.75 ERA with 9.7 strikeouts and 2.8 walks per nine innings in a 114 2/3 innings season. Butterfield would also manage Rivera in 1992, with Fort Lauderdale of the High-A Florida State League.
Butterfield took a few moments to try to recall his initial impressions of Rivera. When it was noted that the task was made more difficult by the wealth of players he's seen in almost three decades of coaching, managing and instruction, he retorted, "Not anybody like this!"
"He was a very athletic guy. He had a fastball right around 91, 92, then he started getting stronger," recalled Butterfield. "Tremendous kid, very respectful, hard worker and one of the fastest kids in the organization. Always looking to get better. Wonderful kid to be around. Soft spoken, funny."
Again, the stuff was anything but outrageous. Butterfield suggested that Rivera did not have a breaking ball to speak of at the time, nor did he have a cut fastball. Still, he remained a projectable prospect because of the fluidity — the artfulness, really — of his delivery, something that permitted him to throw strikes and locate.
"I know I graded him favorably — I think all of us did — because of the athleticism, the willingness to work, the type of individual," said Butterfield. "It was a very good delivery. It's always been a very good delivery where you had a feeling he could repeat his pitches because good athlete and good delivery usually equals a guy who can repeat his pitches. He did not [have a breaking ball]. And he did not have the cutter. He might have had a little tiny one — just with a little cut off of his natural fastball — but I don't know when he started developing The Cutter."
In 1995, however, Butterfield was the Yankees' big league first base coach when Rivera was promoted to the majors.
"As a coach, that was the first time I'd seen him in a long time," said Butterfield. "The jump in velocity stood out — he was a bigger, stronger athlete. When we had him, he was just a kid. Just a young kid."
Both Butterfield and Nieves have had an opportunity, over the course of more than two decades, to see what Rivera has become, to observe the emergence of one of the all-time greats at his narrowly defined craft, a transcendent postseason performer who has been the signature October performer for more than 15 years.
And how would they define that experience, that vantage point from which they observed Rivera not only as a game-ending force but also one who was finding his way?
"Not very fun at all," Butterfield joked, "especially being in the same division, because usually in the ninth inning, it's over. But he's a wonderful kid. … He's just so special — such a special athlete, so soft-spoken, he's a great role model for any of those young pitchers who come up: Just keep your eye open and watch that guy."
Of course, as impressive as Rivera was as a person and athlete and competitor when he was 21, Butterfield admits that he could never have forecast the direction his career would ultimately take.
"I think anybody would have a hard time projecting what he's become," said Butterfield. "Greatest of all time — and it ain't even close."
There will now be one more year for Rivera to add to his accolades and his list of accomplishments, one final chapter of an extraordinary career. And while Nieves now finds himself on the opposite side of a team rivalry with the great closer, he nevertheless suggests that his appreciation every time he watches Rivera pitch will be considerable.
"I hope people watched him a lot, because there's only one of those guys. He's in a league of his own," said Nieves. "We're speaking about the best of the best."

Which Screens to Use,
Part 1
by Moe Chernick (email@example.com)
El Segundo, CA (July 22, 1999) -- If you have been reading my columns and are also familiar with the Foolish Four area, there are six different market-beating screens that we have been discussing: Unemotional Growth (UG), Keystone, Keystone EPS, PEG, RP4, and Beating the S&P 500 (BSP).
All sound great, but how does one know which screens to purchase? While intuition is to look purely at the numbers, I personally think once you know the numbers, overemphasizing them can be a major mistake. It may create an unbalanced portfolio that is more risky then an investor may feel comfortable with in a down market. Besides, based on our limited backtesting period, is a difference of 3 or 4 percentage points really significant?
In this article, I will show you a simple way for deciding which screens to use without once quoting the numbers. While I start with a short synopsis, you should be familiar with the above-mentioned screens before preceding forward. If you are not already familiar with these screens, go to the Report Archives and read the articles on UG, Keystone, and PEG that have been written since June -- and then go to the Foolish Four area to find out more about RP4 and BSP.
Here is a short synopsis of each screen containing all the information necessary to decide which to use. These synopses assume that you concur that each screen is valid. If you personally do not believe one or more of these screens are worth investing in, then cross them off your personal list.
RP4 (or other BTD variation) -- A large capitalization screen that looks for the 4 stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average that have the best value. It has by far the longest backtest, and while its returns are the lowest of the screens being discussed here, it is the most proven of all the screens. This screen performs best when stocks are held for at least a year.
BSP -- Similar to the RP4, the BSP looks for the best 4 or 5 stocks among the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. This screen can be used as a substitute or to complement the RP4. Its historic returns are similar to those of the RP4. This screen performs best when stocks are held for at least a year.
UG -- An aggressive growth screen that invests in the 5 stocks with Timeliness rating of 1 and with the highest EPS rating from Investor's Business Daily (IBD). This screen has the second-best results of the five screens listed but with by far the most volatility. The results of this screen have been mediocre over the last 2 and a half years. This screen performs best when traded monthly.
Keystone -- This screen is a growth screen that invests in the 5 or more stocks that are among the 30 largest-cap stocks with Value Line Timeliness ratings of 1 or 2 and that have had the best total return over the previous six months. This screen over its 12-year test period has consistently beaten the S&P 500 and the RP4. Its test results are also very symmetrical, which is a strong indicator of the validity of these results into the future. This screen performs best when traded once a year.
Keystone EPS -- A variation of the Keystone screen. This screen contains the 5 stocks that are part of the Keystone top 10 and have the best total returns over the last six months and the best earnings growth over the past 12 months. This screen returns slightly higher results than Keystone over most time periods. The screen performs best when traded once a year.
PEG -- A growth screen that buys the 4 or 5 stocks with Value Line Timeliness ratings of 1 or 2 that have high returns over the last 26 weeks, great projected earnings, and are low PEG values. This screen produces the highest returns of any of the screens listed here with relatively low volatility. The screen performs equally well when traded quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, however the annual returns may vary greatly depending on the time of year the screen is bought.
The first step in developing a portfolio is to separate the screens into Growth and Value. Many investors believe a balanced portfolio should contain both growth and value stocks. In general, the longer the investment time horizon, the more growth oriented the investor should be. In contrast, those with shorter time horizons should be more value oriented. Here is the growth and value breakout of our screens.
Value Screens: RP4, BTD
Growth Screens: UG, Keystone, Keystone EPS
Growth and Value: PEG
As you can see, PEG is classified as both Growth and Value. This is because PEG contains both growth and value elements. When allocating your portfolio between growth and value, I would handle PEG one of two ways. You can either weigh it two-thirds Growth and one-third Value or consider it purely a growth play. For simplicity, I will use the later approach in this article.
The second way to classify the screens is large stocks versus small stocks. There are two reasons for this breakout. First, small stocks tend to be more volatile but also have greater potential. Second, many people have no problems investing in companies they have heard of, but they get heart attacks when some $10.00 stock they never heard of shows up on the PEG screen. One note on the breakout is that in actuality there are no exclusively small-stock screens in the Workshop; there are only large-stock screens and those that take any size stock. But being people may want to limit their small-stock exposure, I will refer to any-size stock screens as being equivalent to a small-stock screen. Here is the breakout by size.
Large Stock Value Screens: RP4, BTD
Large Stock Growth Screens: Keystone, Keystone EPS
Any Stock Growth: UG, PEG
The final consideration is how often a screen trades. If all your money is in an IRA you can be flexible in deciding the time horizon. For non-IRA accounts, the leaning is toward annual screens, especially if you are in a tax bracket that is over 28%.
All the screens in this article are annual trading except for UG, which is a monthly traded screen, and PEG, which can be traded at almost any interval.
With this information, a portfolio meeting your needs and using these screens can be made. Next time, I will introduce you to three fictional investors, each with different needs. I will then use the information from this column to develop a portfolio for each of them.
Until next time, Fool on!

Ask Dr. K: Avoid neck pain from working at computer
Sat., July 12, 2014, midnight
DEAR DOCTOR K: I work at a computer all day, and as a result, I frequently have neck pain. What can I do?
DEAR READER: Did you know that for every 10 degrees forward you tilt your head, the weight of your head on your neck increases about 10 pounds? It's no wonder, then, that bending your head over a computer all day can strain muscles, ligaments, joints and other structures in your neck.
Luckily, a few simple steps can help prevent chronic neck pain. Here are some dos and don'ts recommended by physical therapist Amy Devaney of Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital:
• Do keep your neck in a neutral position. That means your head balances directly over your spine and is not leaning forward or over to one side.
• Do keep your shoulders down and back in a relaxed position. Set an alarm every 45 minutes to "fix" your posture if you need to.
• Do set up your workstation with your computer screen at eye level and your feet supported on the floor.
• Don't roll your head round and round your neck, as some people do to loosen their neck muscles. This can grind your bones together. Instead, gently stretch your neck from side to side: Slowly look left and hold for 10 seconds, then slowly look right and hold for 10 seconds. Or gently stretch up and down: Slowly bend your neck back and hold for 10 seconds. Then slowly put your chin close to your chest and hold for 10 seconds.
• Don't hold your head in a bent position for more than 10 minutes, whether you're reading, watching TV, or looking at a smartphone or computer. Change position so your eyes are looking straight ahead.
• Don't talk on the phone while leaning your head to one side. Use a headset or Bluetooth device.
It's somewhat more expensive, but I found that getting a separate flat-screen monitor (much larger than the screen on my laptop) and a separate keyboard made an enormous difference. Instead of scrunching over to squint at a relatively small screen (and typing on a relatively small keyboard), I could sit with my spine vertical and my head in line with my spine. And I could rest my head on my chair's headrest. I am now much less fatigued at the end of a workday.

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Going to be pricey...
|I've only recently been introduced properly to the Samurai Warriors series of games. I say 'properly' because I have friends who have talked about it for so long that I felt like I knew about the characters just from listening to them! Then I finally played a game. X3
I've taken to the two characters that I had expected I'd like all along;
The adorably bratty and somewhat tsundere Masamune, and the princely little fruit, Ranmaru.
I chose to do Ranmaru because...well, fawning over Nobunaga and Mitsuhide would come SO easilly to me. *_*
Hmm. I don't think I'll make a very good Ranmaru. I don't consider myself fair-of-face enough to do him justice, but...well. I guess this really is a dream cosplay anyway, seeing as I have NO IDEA when I'll do it!
....Someday. *dreams*
Oooooh this will suit you really well!
*feels guilty* XD;; Irony is, you'd make a far better Masamune than me.
But all the same, you'll be wonderful as Ranmaru, and you KNOW it! ^_^
Awww, Ino!! Don't feel guilty!! =O that's it, I'm re-wording the blurb in the information section; I didn't mean for it to sound at all pointed! You'll make an awesome Masamune, and I'm MORE than happy to be Ranmaru! <3 You know damn well I'm going to ham it up as Nobunagas' bitch. ^__

If you got a new digital camera over the holidays, you probably got a point-and-shoot model. True, if you point that sort of camera at something and push the big button on top of the case, you will take a picture.
That doesn't mean, necessarily, that you will have taken a good one. The not-so-dirty, not-so-little secret about even the simplest point-and-shoot cameras is that they work best if you know just a tiny bit about what's going on when you snap a picture.
Otherwise, even scads of megapixels and image stabilization and other ballyhooed features can't save you from overexposed images and washed-out colors.
Below are some basic tips and tricks. They apply to most of the cameras on the market today, even if the manufacturers have different names for their various features and settings (word to the wise: don't throw away the owner's manual). Putting this advice in action won't make you a great photographer, but it will elevate you to the glorified realm of the "not bad."
Photography is, at its core, about making the most of light. All cameras include a fully automatic mode that sets optimal exposures based on lighting conditions, but most also give the user some degree of manual control to adjust settings.
Scene modes: The entry-level, basic snap-shooters may offer little to no manual control, but all cameras include scene modes. These are presets that adjust the camera to perform best in a given situation.
Typical scene modes include party, night, portrait, snow, beach, sunset, fireworks, sports and kids and pets. In sports mode, for instance, the camera will automatically set a fast shutter speed to freeze the action.
Scene settings are a great place to start experimenting because they help you capture the best shots in specific shooting conditions, and you don't have to know a thing about exposure.
ISO: One of the most basic ways to control the light is to adjust the ISO. Doing so will make your camera more or less sensitive to light. Cameras use lower ISO settings of 80 or 100 for photographing in bright conditions like sunny days. Higher ISO settings -- 400 and up -- enable the camera to capture the details of subjects in lower light. Today's cameras may include ISO settings of 3200 or higher, but use them judiciously -- you'll start to see "noise," or multicolored specks in images, starting at ISO 400.
Exposure compensation: Exposure compensation can save the day in difficult lighting conditions, such as bright sunlight and strongly backlit scenes. For instance, if you photograph a friend with very bright lighting behind her, the details of her face will probably be in shadow. Set the exposure compensation to a positive value to capture more details of the foreground and her face.
White balance: Another useful setting that is available on most cameras is white balance, which ensures that the light source -- fluorescent or tungsten lamps, for instance -- does not apply an artificial color cast to your image. For instance, white objects snapped under fluorescent lighting often exhibit a greenish tint. To correct white balance, simply select the correct light source from a list that typically includes tungsten, fluorescent, shade or sunlight.
Flash modes: Most people set their flash to Auto and don't think about it again (unless they're trying to sneak in a few surreptitious shots in a museum, in which case they turn off the flash). But auto flash isn't always the best flash, which is why cameras typically offer a couple of flash settings that can greatly enhance photos.
For instance, if you're taking an outdoor photo of someone whose face is in shadow, using force flash (or flash on) will coax your subject's face out of the shadows. Many cameras also enable you to adjust the brightness of the flash, which is useful when snapping shots of subjects in close range. You'll want to decrease the brightness of the flash so that the image isn't washed out.
Another useful flash setting is slow synchro (also called nighttime mode), which slows the shutter speed in combination with the flash. With slow synchro, you can get more background detail in dimly lighted scenes, such as portraits shot outdoors at twilight or indoor shots where you want the right amount of flash for your subject, but don't want to wash out the whole room with a bright flash.
Now that you understand the adjustments to make in order to capture the right exposure, you're ready to shoot.
Auto-focus: Auto-focus is a two-step process. First, press the shutter button halfway to focus on your subject and set the correct exposure. You'll hear a beep to indicate that the lens has focused and that the automatic exposure is locked. Press the button all the way down to snap the shot.
Optical zoom: Most basic point-and-shoot cameras have an optical zoom range of 3X to 5X, which enables you to zoom in (or out) on your subject. Many models also include a digital zoom.
You can tell the difference when zooming in because you can feel and hear optical zoom -- the lens is actually moving. If you zoom in after that, it will be silent, because digital zoom is happening deep inside a microchip in the camera.
It's best to ignore digital zoom because it simply enlarges the pixels and results in inferior images. Also, zoomed-in shots are more prone to the blurring caused by shaky hands. So if you are in close, make sure that your camera's image stabilization is turned on.
Macro mode: Macro enables you to move in as tight as an inch to take extreme close-ups of objects. You'll need to enable Macro mode to ensure the proper focus.
Burst mode: Most digital cameras have a burst mode that snaps off a series of photos in quick succession. It's a useful feature for capturing a soccer goal or Junior's quick smile. A caveat is that many cameras will save burst-mode shots in a lower resolution. Also, continuous shooting will not work with flash, because the electronic flash cannot recycle that quickly.
Movie mode: Just about any point-and-shoot camera will record a movie with sound (digital SLRs traditionally have not offered video, although high-end models are beginning to add movie capabilities). Increasingly, newer cameras let you capture video in high definition.
Movie mode is typically selected on a top-level dial. To use movie mode, depress the button halfway to focus and set the exposure, then fully depress to start recording. To stop, fully press the button again. Note that most cameras do not allow you to use the zoom while you're recording a movie, so you'll need to decide on focal length before you begin.
Another thing you can and should do: Take a lot of pictures. A whole lot. Play with the settings and see what kind of pictures you get. After all, you're not going to have to shell out for extra film.

I hate sunscreen. I hate the smell,I hate the greasiness, I hate the sticky-ness. Regardless, this sunscreen was pretty alright. I used it multiple times, just on my face when I was out in the sun for a long time. I didn't burn and it wasn't so bad. It didn't smell like the normal banana boat sunscreen and it wasn't too heavy on my skin. I'd definitely use it more.4

Various aspects of newspapers can be useful in tracing long-departed ancestors, as even papers published more than 100 years ago can contain clues and descriptions of relatives.
Sherburne History Center director Mike Brubaker examined some of these materials in a program at the center last Saturday morning titled "Beyond the Obituary: using Newspapers in Family History Research".

KINGS POINT, N.Y. – Who knows what type of season Cody Kessler might have had for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy had it not rained on the first day of practice in the summer?
The Mariners were supposed to train at the beach. Instead, the inclement weather forced the team to train indoors in Libiertz Gymnasium. Ironically, it was a wet floor that led to an injury as the junior forward slipped into the bleachers. Kessler broke the scaphoid bone in his right wrist. He needed surgery, had a screw put in and was sidelined five weeks.
"It hasn't been my best season," he said. "I needed to change something. And I think I have changed whatever I needed to change."
Indeed he has.
Kessler certainly is making up for it and then some with some memorable and productive performances in the post-season.
The Delmar, N.Y. native had a hand, or rather a foot, in all four goals during the Landmark Conference tournament last week. As a substitute, Kessler scored one goal, set up a second and was fouled for a penalty kick that led to the third goal in the 3-0 semifinal triumph over Drew University on Nov. 2.
Three days later, Kessler was playing offensive hero again this time as a starter. He scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over host and regular-season champion Catholic University. Not surprisingly, the Delmar, N.Y. native was named the Landmark offensive player of the week
"I like playing during the day," he said. "For some reason I am more awake."
Unfortunately for Kessler, the Mariners' first-round NCAA Division III first-round game at Rutgers University-Camden is set for Camden, N.J. when the time of day is darker -- at 5 p.m. Saturday. The winner takes on the victor of the 7:30 p.m. encounter between Wesleyan and Misericordia game at 5 p.m. Sunday.
But he certainly won't complain because he is playing his best soccer of the season.
It certainly wasn't easy coming back from that injury.
"I definitely felt it with my conditioning," Kessler said. "It took me some time in getting back playing soccer."
For his first two weeks back, Kessler played with a hard cast on his right arm with a foam pad on it.
"It helps but it definitely was difficult to get used to having a club on my arm," he said.
Having a cast on an arm affects a players' balance and then some.
"Not only that. Because I had the surgery and everything, I was always worried about falling on it or someone hitting it," Kessler said. "There were times where the team would grab my wrist and take a hold of it. It was painful. Also the balancing, when you're trying to shoot, it's a lot different having a big weight on one arm."
It took a while for him to become comfortable. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that Kessler felt comfortable on the field. "I am able to hold people off now and not worried about it," he said.
Now the opposition is worried about Kessler.
Against Drew the Bethlehem Central High School graduate came on as substitute and made an immediate few subs do at any level of the game with his involvement in all three goals.
"I was glad I was part of helping my team get further on in the conference," he said. "Over the past few weeks, I hadn't gotten as much playing time as I would have liked. But I was extremely glad I was able to do my part in helping the team because they were doing a great job during the season. I definitely felt that I needed to pick it up and pull my own weight.
Kessler continued to pull his own weight against Catholic in the Landmark final, providing the lone goal of the match, chipping the goalkeeper at 52:20.
Asked if he had planned it that way, Kessler replied, "I'm still trying to figure it out. I meant to shoot it. I know that. Whether I knew subconsciously where the goalie was, I didn't see him. I'm not sure if I tried to go near post with it because that was open. I just happened to go far post. I'm still trying to figure it out."

WASHINGTON, Tuesday—Yesterday afternoon I had a very pleasant call from Mrs. Charles B. Gilberg, Mrs. L. V. Price and Mrs. James E. Mectum, who had been attending a Patriotic Women's meeting here.
They passed a number of resolutions, but as I talked to them I gathered they were not entirely convinced that the future would justify all the things which might seem necessary at present. At the same time, I could not help thinking that one of the great advantages of our form of government is that we can make changes easily. If we do things at one time because they seem necessary, there is no reason why we cannot change later on when conditions change.
I had this feeling of uncertainty about some of the things being done at the present time when I talked, the other day, with a group of World War II veterans which was meeting here. Some of the members present for this executive committee meeting, I should judge, had been discharged because of the age limit. Some of them, therefore, had not been able to go overseas, and it seemed to me quite obvious that whatever organization they attempted would have to be on a very provisional basis. They could hardly represent the real youth who have fought this war, and who are now coming out of hospitals back into civilian life or will return when the war is over to take their place in the active shaping of affairs in the nation.
People in this country who are familiar with the winter climate in France, Germany, Holland and Belgium, as well as Northern Italy, must read the daily stories of the hard fighting going on in all these areas with a very deep sense of gratitude to the infantrymen. I understand that sometimes the men feel their job is not very much appreciated. All of us know that on every front the final victory is never assured until the infantry marches in. Those of us who give it any thought know that in many ways the infantryman's job is the hardest and the most discouraging. He sits in the mud, he marches on his own two feet, he carries much of his own equipment, he makes his shelter if he has any, and he meets the enemy face to face.
In all the other services, it seems to me, brief let-ups are more frequent. For the infantry it is just grind, grind, grind. At this time of year, when I know so well that everything which climate can bring by way of discomfort is added to his daily job, I want to turn our thoughts to him in gratitude and appreciation.
Today at noon I am speaking to the newly organized Washington chapter of the Chaplains' Association of the Army and Navy of the United States. Then I leave for New York City, to fill some speaking engagements tomorrow.

An unnecessary search and rescue callout on New Year's Day has police urging holidaymakers to advise others before starting hiking or boating expeditions which could arouse fears for their safety.
Police were alerted at 9.30pm on Tuesday when a Whangarei couple in their 50s, who had left Spirits Bay in two kayaks at 8.30 that morning, had not returned.
Whangarei police search and rescue incident controller Sergeant Neil Pennington said that at first light yesterday a Coastguard fixed wing aircraft left Kerikeri with police on board to search the coastline at Spirits Bay. After hunting for an hour, the pair were seen on the beach about 5km east of where they had launched their kayaks.
Department of Conservation (DoC) staff and volunteer searchers from the DoC campground at Spirits Bay, who were out in an inflatable rescue boat, contacted the couple, who had intended staying out overnight and were unaware people were looking for them.
Mr Pennington said that if the pair had advised DoC staff at the camp ground, where they left their car, of their intentions then the search involving up to 24 people would not have been needed.
"Also, because we didn't know where they were going we had to search from Cape Maria van Diemen to the northern entrance of the Parengarenga Harbour," he said.
"If we knew where they were heading we could have halved the search area."
Mr Pennington said it was "a little bit frustrating" to organise a search which was not required.
"If people are genuinely lost we will go all-out to find them. But people should tell their families, friends or the authorities what they are doing before going into remote areas where there will be worries about them being late back or not reappearing," he said.

Heavy Dust & Tongue & Groove Ceiling Fix
My new home is a two-story. The first floor is all Pergo and the downstairs is all tongue and groove ceiling. Throughtout the day as people walk upstairs the dust falls and falls and falls. A thick coat of dust is present each and every day.
I need a way to seal the T&G above my office where computers and other senitive electronics reside.
A polyurethane sealant was recommended as a "possible" solution. I don't know the difference or if this is even the solution.
Are you saying you can see the overhead flooring from the computer room?
Is there is no ceiling?
I would start with your air filter, check it first.
I cannot see the flooring from upstairs. What I can see is unsealed T & G above me. The dust is extreme and thick each day -- an air filter might help the symptom, but I'd like the cure :)
In thoery there should not be any dust coming from the under the Laminate if they used the proper underlayment...in thoery...
It will hard to apply poly to a ceiling.
Here is a time consuming idea for a fix: Run a color match caulk in the joints between the boards. It will take longer than the Poly attempt but you will not be fighting the gravity issue that you will face with poly.
That sounds like a great idea. I can tell you that the workmanship is not the greatest. I have seen worse, but some of this is just sloppy. I don't know what is above the T & G but will give the caulk a go.
