Family Fun -- A My Town Monday Post
So having said all of that. We, as a family enjoy anything Halloweenish we can do together and The Amazingly Fun Farm just to the southeast of Amarillo fits that bill.
The above shot is of my boys playing king of the hay. but of course the farm's main attraction is an eight acre corn maize. This year's pattern is reflective of the upcoming election.
The farm also has a pick your own pumpkin and gourd patch, a pneumatic corn cannon, a hayride, and other assorted activities.
But instead of describing everything let me show you pictures. We arrived late afternoon, but by the time we got to the maze dark had set in and let me tell you it's pitch black in their among the 8 foot corn stalks. I enjoyed scaring the boys as well as Jennifer at nearly every turn.
I have more pictures an a video of the corn cannon in action that I will try to load tomorrow, but blogger is giving me fits right now and it has taken all afternoon and evening to get this many pics up. (UPDATE -- Corn cannon and more pics have been added to the very bottom of this post) I really like this last shot. As I said it was pitch black except for when the flash of my camera went off. If you notice in the upper right of this picture there is some kind of flying critter that I caught mid flight. (You can click to enlarge if need be.)
Of course me being the storyteller that I am I had the boys convinced it was some kind of fairy that lives in corn patches, but as always Jennifer called bullshit and convinced them it was just a bug.
She never lets me have any fun.

My girls, now 20 and almost 17, remember our visit to the corn maze well. We were there for a very long time---thirst and hunger took over, and they asked, "Are we done having fun yet, Mommy?"
My post is up.

Oh how I love Fall!! Nothing better than that crisp fall air. The smell of harvest, and cool looking pumpkins.

Halloween just flat out rocks...and I absolutely love the fairy you caught on "film." No wonder, really, as the veil is thinnest this time of year. ;)
I found a corn maze not far from our area, too. May have to check that out...

Hi Travis,
My MTM post is scheduled to go up around 5 AM ET Monday.
Autumn is my favorite season and I love Halloween. I spent part of the weekend visiting a State that shall remain nameless where I campaigned for a candidate who shall remain nameless. I was just the slowest canvasser ever, because I kept stopping to admire all the Halloween decorations. People are so creative. I love Halloween!

I have actually been lost in a corn maze. And it was scary. My post is up, BTW.

So uhhh Travis were you constantly using the flash on the camera to illuminate the way through the maze?

That corn maze looks so cool! We don't really have fall in Florida. We have had a lot of rain, though.

It doesn't look like fall from my perspective. We're in coats already here. When did Halloween become such a big holiday I wonder.

Halloween is the best! And I love that ambitiously artistic maze, as well as the equally artsy photo.

That maze is, well, amazing. And that IS a fairy flying nearby! Great memories the kidlets will always carry. Kudos for good parenting.

We had cornfields right next to my house when I was growing up - there's something very eery about a cornfield at night!

We go to one of those fall farm places each year too. The corn maze is so much fun. (Love the one your farm did - that's so cool!)
The shot with the bug in it is amazing. Very cool!
Looks like a fun time!

I like the maze, and the other photos, too. Halloween brings a nice close to the autumn before winter sets in (here in Ontario it does). Family outings are great.

That looks like so much fun! I've never been in a corn maze, unless you count chasing a field hockey ball during a game right next to a corn field.
The Simpsons episode where Homer gets lost in the corn maze was just on last week.

Hey! GMTA! I took our boys to one this w/end too and blogged about it! LOL! Our maze was over 25 acres. I think that looks like a corn maze fairy to me Travis. I saw a lot of those this w/end. Tell Jennifer to stop being a spoilsport. ;)

WOW! The corn maze here can't even being to compare to that one! How long does it take to get through?
We carved big pumpkins a few weeks ago, but, since it was still so hot, they were rotted after about a week. I need to go get some more before all the big ones are gone.

I didn't know about The Amazingly Fun Farm! How did I miss that, having lived here all these years? Is it something new?
My kids are grown but Halloween is still my favorite holiday. My little neice and nephew are going to be in town this weekend. I'm taking them out there! Thanks for the post and the great pics!

She carries colorful fabric and handmade items that are beautifully unique and her style. Here's a little blurb from her about the inspiration behind her shop!
" Ever since being the worst failure in the history of Junior High Home Ec, I've wanted to learn to sew. I started taking classes at a cute little shop in Chicago a little over a year ago. That shop started my obsession with fabric. Realizing that I live in a "creative desert" [surrounded by corn fields, steel mills, and Lake Michigan], I dreamt of a local, hometown store that offered beautiful fabric and paper. Not planning to go into debt just yet, I decided to open up Cotton+Wood and grow my fabric shop online and expand to a brick and mortar in the future. "

Story highlights
- Bob Greene says people going home for the holidays look forward to familiar faces
- He says sometimes people take for granted those who choose not to move away
- Those who stay may have regrets, but they are the solid foundation of communities
- Greene: When we go home, we should be thankful for the people who already are home
This is for those who stayed.
For the ones who, regardless of the reason, never picked up and moved.
This is for those who right now are right where they always have been.
Who aren't going home for the holidays, because home is where they already are.
This week the airports, highways, train stations and bus depots will be jammed. Americans, as they always are in the week leading up to Christmas, are on the move. Many are heading home.
So this may be as good a time as any to reflect on what that word -- "home" -- means. When people eagerly head home for the holidays, what is their true destination?
It isn't merely geographic. When you set foot again in the place you're from, it's not the street signs that warm you, or the sight of the public library or the town hall. Those are reminders, guideposts -- but that's not why you're there.
Home feels the way it does because of the people who never left -- the people who, with gratitude, you can count on, the family and friends you're coming home to. Without them, it's just a dot on a map.
They're the ones who are too often taken for granted. The ones who, in an era of constant transience and relentless motion, elected long ago, for their own good reasons, against being footloose. Who dropped anchor early, and stayed put while others were departing.
Just how taken for granted are they? The U.S. Census Bureau, which keeps track of seemingly everything, doesn't keep track of them. Robert B. Bernstein, a Census official, told me that there are no figures available for the number of people who have stayed in the same town for their entire lives.
But there are clues-- clues about the impulse for allegiance -- to be found in related census data that Bernstein and I delved into together. Fifty-nine percent of Americans live in the same state where they were born. Midwesterners are the most loyal to where they come from: 70.2 percent live in the state of their birth. The Western states manage to keep only 49.3 percent of those who were born there.
If you live in Louisiana, you're among the 78.8 percent of .your fellow residents who were born there, the highest percentage in the U.S., followed by Michigan at 76.6 percent and Ohio at 75.1 percent. Nevada has the lowest percentage of people born there: 24.3, followed by Florida, next-lowest, with 35.2 percent and Arizona with 37.7 percent. Nationwide, according to the most recent census numbers available, 45.3 million people live in a different house from the one where they lived a year ago, and 6.7 million of them live in a different state.
Perhaps the most beloved holiday movie is "It's a Wonderful Life," in which George Bailey, played by Jimmy Stewart, is a man who never moved away from Bedford Falls, and who is not without occasional pangs of regret about it. Generations of audiences have silently cheered for him. But the Jimmy Stewart character had a motion-picture camera trained on him; in real life, the men and women who stay often do so with no audience to applaud their fidelity to place.
We live in a society in which wanderlust is considered an unchallenged virtue. For generations, it has been said approvingly that someone has "set off to make it big," has "gone off to conquer the world." Getting out, seeking fresh horizons, has been made a celebrated and acclaimed goal, seldom questioned.
And those who stay behind? They do so for a variety of reasons: genuine love of a place; family obligations; a job that feels steady and safe. You sense, though, that some who stay may, like George Bailey, from time to time have second thoughts. Were they reluctant to roll the dice? Did an opportunity somewhere bigger and brighter open and then close before they worked up the resolve to say yes? Did they tell themselves that tomorrow they would make the grand move so many times that all the tomorrows finally ran out?
Every person has his or her own answer. In these December weeks, in town after American town, people will come home for the holidays, and it will feel like home because of the faces that remain there, the voices that are so familiar. Do those who stay ever ask themselves whether they have missed out on something in the wider world beyond? Perhaps. Human nature dictates that we often fixate on the path not taken.
But a town would not be a town were it not for those who vote in favor of it every day of their lives with their continued presence, who make it feel solid and permanent not just because they know the place so well, but because they know themselves just as well, and are confident enough in who they are that they don't necessarily have to look elsewhere for affirmation.
The world changes and becomes barely recognizable; even the tiniest towns transform themselves over time. If you're heading home for the holidays this week, you may notice that the old movie theater is a coffee shop now, or that the pharmacy has become a bank branch.
The sight of those faces, though, older but somehow forever young; the sound of those voices, voices you would know if you heard them anywhere on the planet, but that, now and always, are specific to this one and only place. . .
This is a time, and a season, to be thankful for those voices. For those faces.
For the ones who chose to stay.
As the holidays arrive, you may be coming home.
They -- in every way that counts -- are home.

The First 2010 Census Protesters: Viva La Revolution!!!Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
Today, MyTwoCensus has learned about the first people to officially protest their own participation in the 2010 Census. Just yesterday, we wrote how there is very little that the U.S. Government can do to punish individuals who fail to complete their 2010 Census forms, which, in this case, is the American Community Survey that has been mailed to approximately 1 in 40 households.
Thanks to Tulsa Oklahoma's Channel 6 News for first reporting this:
TULSA, OK — The U.S. Census Bureau is surveying Tulsa neighborhoods to confirm where to send questionnaires for the 2010 census.
But some people are wondering why they're already getting census forms in the mail.
Forms are landing in mailboxes almost a full year before the census officially starts.
Geraldine and Lincoln Higgins are not usually rebellious, but they say they're not going to fill out the census form they got in the mail.
"I don't think the U.S. government needs to know how many people live in this house," Geraldine Higgins said. "I don't think it's anybody's business."
They are not planning to answer the more than 100 questions on the American Community Survey, which asks about their house, finances, what languages they speak and the state of their health.
What made Geraldine Higgins mad was that it said the law required her to answer.
"I'd like for them to come arrest me," she said. "I'm 75 years old. What are they going to do with me?"
The Census Bureau says she isn't going to be arrested but she does have to answer.
Dennis Jordan, Census Bureau Regional Director: "The 100 year census, the 2010 census and the American Community Survey, both have been determined to be so important that Congress has authorized them to be mandatory," said Dennis Jordan, regional director of the Census Bureau. "Each household is required to fill them out."
The survey is not the 2010 census. The American Community Survey goes out continuously and over a decade every home will get one.
The questions provide the government with more timely information than the once-a-decade census that in 2000 asked many of the same questions on a long form.
"We're not doing that anymore," Jordan said. "Everyone in the 2010 census will get a short form, 10 questions, takes about 10 minutes and the information we used to get on the long form will be collected with the American Community Survey."

Environmental Horticulture/Floristry
Environmental Horticulture
Environmental Horticulture is more than making the world around us a beautiful place. It's about creating environments that function practically, aesthetically and in harmony with nature. Environmental Horticulture means growing the plants, designing the spaces and installing the landscapes.
It's working with people to maintain and improve the parks, gardens and spaces that make our communities great places to work and play. Environmental Horticulture is a diverse and satisfying field to make a career. And the field is growing!
Retail Floristry
Opportunities for creative expression, a desire to work with a
product, enjoyment of hands-on creativity, and a determination to make the most important moments in life truly special, are just a few of the reasons students choose to study floristry at City College of San Francisco.
Since the 1930's, students from the Floristry Division have launched satisfying careers in the "flower industry," giving the Environmental Horticulture and Floristry Department an impressive international reputation.
The Floristry Program offers a complete curriculum that maintains
strong links with flower shop owners, growers, wholesalers and
manufacturers, (many of whom are CCSF graduates).
In addition, the Department has a very active Student Chapter of the American Institute of Floral Designers, receiving numerous national awards for design excellence.

Russell Thomas on Diversity, Activism, and Blackface in OperaBy Russell ThomasPosted in NOTES
"Too bad you're black."
No, I didn't choose that title in order to be provocative or controversial. It's a direct quote from a conductor that is/was the music director of a small Midwestern American opera company. I was 20 years old and had just sung an audition that I was actually proud of. Following the audition, as my accompanist and I were leaving the hall, the gentleman thanked me for my audition and showered me with compliments. Then, in a very serious tone he uttered those words as if he were compelled to warn me.
Strength and Song: Soprano Erin Wall's Cancer JourneyBy Erin WallPosted in NOTES
In truth, nothing could prepare me for the life-altering experience of being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. From the moment I asked my family doctor to examine me because something "seemed off," I knew the news was bad.
NOTES, Issue 8: First EncountersBy Guest WritersPosted in NOTES
Whether it was a school play or a concert, dance lessons, drama camp, or just listening to music on the radio, there was probably a moment in your life when the performing arts first revealed their magic to you. We may not have realized it at the time, but those first impressions leave a lasting impact and shape how we interact with the world. In this edition of NOTES, three young arts professionals, all of whom interned with the Canadian Opera Company early in their careers, explore how their first encounters with the arts opened up the world and connected to a larger sense of belonging.

Shuttle Endeavour launch no earlier than 10 May
NASA Space Shuttle and International Space Station managers met Monday and determined that Tuesday 10 May is the earliest Endeavour could be launched on the STS-134 mission with ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori and the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer.
That date is based on preliminary schedules to replace a faulty electrical Load Control Assembly box in the Orbiter's aft compartment.
Plans are for managers to reconvene on Friday to determine a more definite launch date after the box is replaced and the retest of systems has been completed.
Space Shuttle Program managers adjusted the date after further evaluating the schedules to change the box and retest the nine Shuttle systems associated with the controller. That work would be followed by the standard closeout of the aft compartment before proceeding into the launch countdown.
The STS-134 crew is back in Houston and remains in quarantine throughout as it slowly adjusts its wake and sleep schedule to match the new launch time. While at NASA's Johnson Space Center, the crew will conduct a launch and landing simulation with its ascent and entry flight control team based in Mission Control, before returning to Florida for the launch countdown.

Keep up stem-cell research
Re: "Stem cells, no embryos," Nov. 21 news story.
As a mother of a preteen with Type 1 juvenile diabetes, I have followed research concerning this disease and have a large bulletin board filled with diabetes research articles from around the world, both in lay terms and difficult-to-understand, cellular biology terms. Yes, the new discovery regarding skin cells morphing into stem cells is exciting. However, people don't read the "fine print."
Even the researchers who discovered this type of cell caution that viruses were used to promote the growth of these cells (viruses that cause tumors). These cells have ethical dilemmas of their own — no egg, no sperm, just a cell from the skin that can be obtained quite easily without the knowledge of the donor. We are years off in promoting this new research as the "standard in the industry."
As to Type 1 diabetes research, my opinion is that the researchers at the Geron Corporation and the University of Alberta in Canada are closing in on a cure for Type 1. Don't shut down one type of research just because another seemingly has been discovered without a track record. Let the researchers do their job in their field to see who gets to the finish line first in curing diseases.

Starbucks plans to open 1,500 more cafes over the next five years, and it looks like the company has found a clever way of raise a few extra dollars to offset the cost. There was an audible, "Are you kidding me?" in my office this morning when I was reading on USA Today that Starbucks is offering the Starbucks Metal Gift card that's worth significantly less than its price.
Get this: the gift card is made of steel, and there will be only 5,000 of them sold. And, here's the really appealing part — they each cost $450 but they'll be loaded with only $400. What a bargain of a stocking stuffer!
You can't just walk into your corner Starbucks and pick up one of these babies, though. You need to buy them at the luxury gift website Gilt. They aren't even for sale yet. The sale will start in two days.
The steel card will give holders a few extra perks like a free drink on their birthday and a free food or drink item after 12 Stars. These are the same perks offered to Starbucks Rewards members, points that can be earned with any registered gift card — including the ones that you buy for $10 and are loaded with $10.
Starbucks has also recently started selling a $7 cup of coffee that has some people excited.
I'm not anti-Starbucks. I go there once in a while. I like that when I'm in a hurry at the airport or train station, I know I can pop into Starbucks for a few quick organic food and drink options. But, I also know that these options are pricey. I don't go there, or anywhere else, for my daily coffee. I brew it at home. We go through about one $7.99 12-ounce bag of fair trade, organic coffee a week in our house. That's two cups of coffee a day for two people. We'd get two cups of regular Starbucks coffee for that price, once we paid tax and tip.
So buying a $400 gift card for $450 makes no sense to me. Neither does buying a $7 cup of coffee. USA Today calls it upper-end exclusivity. These things are status symbols.
If a status symbol exists to impress others, there's something I want to know. Who will be impressed when you whip out a steel gift card that isn't worth what you paid for it? What's impressive about that? I'd really like to know.
If you have a different opinion about this, I'd love to hear it. Would you buy this card for someone? Why?

The 75-Year-Old Arm Wrestling Champ
Standing at a mere 5'7" and 155 lbs., 75-year old Norm Devio of Hopkinton, Mass. doesn't look like the godfather of arm wrestling that he is, dominating the little known sport for much of the last 40 years. Devio has won more than 25 national arm wrestling titles in the 150 lbs. class, and has been victorious with both his right and left arm, in the sit down and stand up competitions. He has also represented the US globally in the 1996 world championship in Virginia, where he placed 2nd. There have been plenty of great arm wrestlers over the years, but what makes Devio a sensation is his longevity in the sport. No other arm wrestlers have been as competitive as Norm for so long. To this day he can enter a tournament anywhere and still be a top competitor capable of beating opponents twice his size and 50 years his junior. Devio entered his first professional arm wrestling tournament on a whim in 1975, the New England Championships in Nashua, N.H. The former gymnast won the entire competition, beating out other arm wrestlers, or 'pullers,' as they're called, who have been in the sport for years. In 1982 Devio and a few of his teammates taught Sylvester Stallone a few arm wrestling techniques for the movie 'Over the Top,' which filmed during a real arm wrestling tournament in Las Vegas. Devio recalls that Stallone was not quite the champion he portrayed in the film, and that he beat the Rocky star in a practice match. In order to maintain his competitive edge Devio follows a strict workout routine that includes daily aerobic exercise combined with weekly weight lifting. At 75 years of age Devio curls a 110 lbs. barbell at three sets of ten, a feat most men his size, let alone age, would struggle with. Despite his success, the physical nature of the sport has taken it's toll on the former Brookline high gym teacher. Nowadays Devio only competes with his right arm as he was forced to give up pulling with his left after injuring his elbow. The aging arm wrestler has lost track of exactly how many tournaments he has won; however he knows for certain that there are over 500 trophies proudly displayed in his basement. His collection has grown to such an extent that he has started giving them away to friends and family who come to visit. Devio is an inspiration to the global arm wrestling community. According to six-time national arm wrestling champion Michael Shalhoub there are few athletes in any sport who have ever accomplished what Devio has with arm wrestling.

A kitchen renovation is almost always a costly and time-consuming undertaking. The thought of ripping out and replacing cabinets, countertops and appliances is enough to stop you in your tracks. But a kitchen redo doesn�t have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. Sometimes, the smallest changes can make the biggest difference. Take wallpaper, for example.
Nothing enlivens an outdated kitchen more quickly or more easily than wallpaper. A bright, happy pattern like a toss of fruits or vegetables can play on the past with kitschy, retro-inspired style. Or you can modernize with patterns that mimic tile, stone and metal: a budget-friendly alternative to the real, more costly materials for backsplashes. You don�t have to worry about most stains because most wallpaper has a protective coating and is washable, even scrubbable. In fact, kitchen-friendly wallpapers are much lower maintenance than paint, which has about a three-year life span.
Wallpaper isn�t just for kitchen walls. Here are some ideas that can modernize any kitchen in an instant:
�With extra wallpaper or coordinating border, cover lamp shades on hanging fixtures to create a chic, pulled-together look.
�Wallpaper inset panels on cabinets and pantry doors.
�Paper the back of glass cabinets or open shelves and turn the display of everyday china into a work of art.
�Tap into your creativity: layer wallpaper with a coordinating border and removable wall decals. Or, if there�s a hard-to-reach angle where wallpaper won�t work, use a complementary wall decal to pull the look together.
�If the seating in your kitchen faces one wall, create an art installation by placing individual peel-and-stick wall decals in store-bought frames in a pattern on the wall.

Allen Webster has a rough outing in Pawtucket, while Henry Owens throws a rain-shortened no-hitter for the Sea Dogs.
The Pawtucket Red Sox made some history in Kevin Boles' managerial debut, before an Opening Night crowd of 8266 fans at McCoy Stadium Thursday, just not the kind they were expecting.
Lehigh Valley IronPigs 25-year old righthander David Buchanan handcuffed the PawSox on two hits through six innings, and the IronPigs bullpen held them hitless the rest of the way, as the Philadelphia Phillies' top farm club posted a 4-0 victory.
It was the first time the Pawtucket team has ever been shut out when opening its season at home.
Pawtucket starter Allen Webster struggled through a first inning that seemed to take a week to complete. Three of the first four batters reached base, via two singles and first baseman Jim Murphy's rbi-double, as Pawtucket fell into a 2-0 hole.
Webster seemed to catch a sudden case of Dice-K disease, where the hurler nibble-nibble-nibbles around the plate, before being forced to groove one, which gets smoked. Webster's marathon first frame included no less than four full counts.
Webster did improve in the second stanza, despite a walk and a hit, and his velocity was impressive, hitting 93 miles per hour in the first, 94 in the second, and topping out at 95 in the fourth. But that fourth frame also saw IronPigs catcher Cameron Rupp get ahold of a 91-mph Webster pitch and deposit it 350 feet away, into the left field picnic area for a solo home run.
Webster, who had thrown 62 pitches over the first two innings, was gone after 3.2 innings, having thrown just 46 of his 81 pitches for strikes. Webster, 24, made seven starts for Boston last summer, going 1-2, but if he wants to get back to Fenway Park, nights like Thursday won't help.
"Buchanan's quality start was the story tonight," said Boles. "Even when he was wild, he was wild down and we couldn't do anything with him. Webster had those four 3-2 counts in the first inning, and the way Lehigh Valley worked the counts really made it tough. I think (third baseman Maikel) Franco's at-bat was terrific, the way he worked the count and hung in there until he got an rbi single. But they were very selective. I thought Webster's fastball even had a little bit of sink on it tonight, but they were still able to get there (and hit it)."
"I think Webster looked a little rusty in the first inning," said Boles. "I think he was rushing his delivery to the plate in the first inning, and he got much better after that. He uses a good three-pitch mix: fastball, breaking ball, changeup. This was a first outing, of course, but the way he adjusted in that second inning was impressive to me, and I think he'll be alright."
If there were any highlights for the home team, the best were probably in the top of the third inning, when right fielder Bryce Brentz provided some SportsCenter-quality defensive plays. With one out, IronPigs shortstop Ronny Cedeno tried to go from first to third base on a single to right. Brentz charged the ball, scooped it cleanly and gunned down the runner at third base with a perfect strike. The next batter, second baseman Reid Brignac, belted a sinking liner to right-center, and Brentz, sprinting to his right, made a diving catch to end the inning.
In the seventh inning, Brentz tried for another diving catch on Murphy's bloop down the right field foul line, and when he missed, the ball rolled into the corner for a triple. Murphy scored on a subsequent wild pitch, but no one could fault Brentz' effort. The 25-year old Tennessee native is noted for his bat--and unfortunately for the hunting accident that had him shoot himself in the leg last spring--but Thursday night he looked like a pretty darned good outfielder.
"Bryce put a terrific charge on that first ball," said Boles, "and made a nice throw, for an impressive play. Then you got that diving catch, when the ball was really hit over our center fielder's head, and he managed to get there. Bryce played a really great right field tonight."
Rehabbing BoSox lefty Craig Breslow came on to pitch the fifth inning, but sandwiched two walks around two outs, as well as a balk, and departed after throwing 20 pitches, half of which were strikes. It was not known immediately if Breslow will need more time at AAA to get ready to rejoin the big club.
"Craig said he felt fine, but with the weather as chilly as it was, we didn't want to extend him," said Boles. "He battled through it, and it looked like everything was going okay for him."
Erstwhile catching prospect Ryan Lavarnway played first base, while 23-year old Christian Vazquez got the start behind the plate, and threw out one of three attempted base-stealers. Brandon Snyder served as DH in the PawSox lineup, and minor league vet Corey Brown, replacing Jackie Bradley Jr. in centerfield, whiffed three times.
"I thought Lavarnway did a nice job at first, and had pretty good footwork around the bag," said Boles. "To see the improvement he's made since the first day of spring training is really encouraging. Vazquez was impressive behind the plate, and we had him blocking eight of nine pitches in the dirt, as well as throwing out that runner."
NOTES: Pawtucket used six pitchers in all, contributing to the game's 3:13 time...Milton's Alex Hassan was hitless in four trips, but hit the ball hard twice, although right at fielders..third base phenom Garin Cecchini had a single in three trips, caught a couple popups and fielded well.
OWENS NO-HITS READING: Elsewhere in the Red Sox system, 6-6 lefthander Henry Owens got the double-A Portland Sea Dogs' season started off in fine form, holding the Phillies farm club at Reading, Penn. hitless through six innings. Rain forced the game to be halted at that point, so Owens goes into the record book with a six-inning no-hitter. Ironically the youngster walked two of the first four batters he faced, before settling down. Owens fanned nine of the Fightin' Phils, as the Reading team is now known, and walked just those two. Rated the top pitching prospect in the system, Owens could be at Pawtucket before the summer is done.

Ding0 Experience Fixer
BG2 allows you to attain ridiculously high levels. While I frequently see suggestions for removal of the XP cap to allow people to reach levels higher than 50, rarely do I see anyone mention the idea of LOWER levels. That's what this mod's all about. Some of the BG2 XP rewards are, frankly, ridiculous. Tens of thousands of XP each for simple Fed-Ex quests? Not so, I say.
Ding0 Experience Fixer (or "DEF JAM", as it's otherwise known; feel free to imagine what the JAM part stands for) allows the XP rewards to be reduced. Split into 3 separate sections (creature XP, skill XP and quest XP), you can choose the new XP rate for each component irrespective of the others. Choices vary from 10% to 75% of the original XP.
Who knows. Maybe 10% XP rewards would provide a challenging alternative to Tactics-type mods.
Also remember to check out the Virtue mod for further roleplaying enhancements, and Quest Pack for new action and adventures!

Like many folks, I use Google for more and more. When I noticed Google's announcement that Gmail supports IMAP, I knew I could read my Gmail from Emacs.
The question was, how do you set up the integration? The Emacs wiki had instructions on how to read email, which worked nicely. But I wanted to enable Gmail to gather the mail I sent from Emacs into its conversation groups (it's no Gnus threading, but it's a start). So how to enable that? At first I automatically Bcc'ed my Gmail account, but that was hacky. Then I noticed Gmail lets you use their SMTP server.
I found some documentation on how to use it, but it didn't work for me (wrong ports evidentially), and it was integrated differently than what I wanted.
So I used my favorite Emacs lisp feature, advice, and wrote the following snippet. It checks to see if the 'From:' address is a gmail address, in which case it uses Gmail's SMTP server.
(defadvice message-send-mail (around gmail-message-send-mail protect activate)
"Set up SMTP settings to use Gmail's server when mail is from a gmail.com address."
(interactive "P")
(if (save-restriction
(string-match "gmail.com" (message-fetch-field "from")))
(let ((message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
;; gmail says use port 465 or 587, but 25 works and those don't, go figure
(smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 25 nil nil)))
(smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 25 "firstname.lastname@example.com" nil)))
(smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
(smtpmail-smtp-service 25)
(smtpmail-local-domain "yourdomain.com"))
Note: You can also download the snippet directly.
And, as a good netizen, I updated the wiki appropriately.

As expected, it looks like Michelle Beadle is leaving Bristol. Those Guys Have All The Fun author Jim Miller tweeted today that the Beadle "ESPN era is over." It appears she is headed to NBC. Miller said she will serve as co-host for Access Hollywood (alongside Billy Bush), will host a "new show," and cover major sporting events in some way.
With Beadle's departure imminent, what about all those other ESPN stars in their contract years? Apparently, Van Pelt's contract expired almost two weeks ago, but he's continuing along with the network without one. Miller said today that Scott Van Pelt and Erin Andrews are "still figuring out" what they're doing next. (Sports by Brooks, which has been on top of this stuff, tweeted that Van Pelt and ESPN agreed to a deal, but two sources told us that they do not have an agreement yet.)

The growth of personal training and functional training, plus a concerted effort on the part of club operators to reach out to the senior citizen market, has caused an increase in the space allotted for accessory use.
In March, Christine Thalwitz, director of communications and research at ACAC Fitness and Wellness Centers, Charlottesville, VA, checked out the accessories on display at the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) show in Los Angeles. She says the products reflected the shift in the industry to functional training.
"In our clubs at ACAC, we're getting ready to really dedicate space to functional training," Thalwitz says. "We realize with a lot of these pieces of equipment, you really need space, especially if you're doing small group training or multiple trainings. You need the floor space and the open floor space to be able to accommodate [sessions with accessories]."
Adam Zwyer, the director of marketing and operations for SPRI Products, Libertyville, IL, also has noticed that more clubs are allowing more space for functional training.
"In years past, it seemed like there was a big trend into all machines," Zwyer says. "It was the treadmills and the ellipticals and the bikes—they ruled the gyms. And they're all great products. But people were going, 'I want to work out with this [medicine] ball or I want to use a tube,' and they were doing it between the aisles of the [machines]."
Two products SPRI had on display at the IHRSA show were the Roll Out Ladder and Braided Xertube, which consists of four tubes woven together into a braided band. The Roll Out Ladder, which SPRI sold out by the second day of the IHRSA show, resists bunching and is designed not to skid on indoor surfaces.
Power Systems Inc., Knoxville, TN, displayed its Versa-Tubes, available in 60-inch and 48-inch lengths, at the IHRSA show. Power Systems also is a distributor for the new SmartBar from Les Mills International, Auckland, New Zealand. In addition, the company is expected to launch a new tubing resistance product this year.
Bosu, Canton, OH, has a new Pro Balance Trainer with a dome that is reinforced with an added 1 1/2 pounds of material and a glossy finish. Bosu claims that the product could last three to four years, says Thalwitz, who adds that Bosu's Ballast Ball Pro has a lot of potential applications in a club setting.
"As a trainer, you're really wanting to get into your clients' world and understand what are their needs at either work or in life or in the sports they play," Thalwitz says. "There is such a wide range of tools, and it's really neat to find some that have those versatile applications."

Sebelius: GOP governors will eventually expand Medicaid
- Financial benefits of expanding Medicaid will sway Republicans%2C Sebelius says
- Conservative group says allowing lower-income people to buy insurance a better alternative
- Sebelius says more of the law%27s cost savings will become apparent in time
WASHINGTON — Republican governors and GOP-controlled legislatures will eventually decide to expand Medicaid in their states because the financial benefits are too big to ignore, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in an interview Thursday with USA TODAY.
"It not only would bring more people into the health care system, but it would dramatically reduce unpaid medical costs," Sebelius said in a wide-ranging interview on the third anniversary of the 2010 health care law, also known as the Affordable Care Act.
Sebelius, a former governor of Kansas, said governors are talking with hospital and patients groups within their states and beginning to understand the economic advantages of Medicaid expansion. Not only would more people have basic coverage, but the number of unpaid hospitalizations would be dramatically reduced, Sebelius said. She cited research that shows the average American pays an extra $1,000 a year in insurance premiums to cover costs of the uninsured at hospitals.
And, she said, hospitals are often the largest employers in a community, so Medicaid expansion could mean the creation of more jobs.
Republican governors in states such as Arizona, Florida and New Jersey have said they endorse Medicaid expansion as research has shown the financial advantages and polls show greater public support. So far, eight Republicans have said they support expanding Medicaid in their states, while 17 have declined and five are still considering it.
Opponents, such as Gov. Rick Perry of Texas and Scott Walker of Wisconsin, say expanding Medicaid would cost too much money and create a culture of dependency on the government.
A study released Thursday by the conservative National Center for Policy Analysis found that Florida taxpayers, patients and hospital budgets would benefit if moderate-income families enroll in private coverage rather that Medicaid. Health care providers would be paid less, the researchers said, and the demand for health services would be too high.
The center promotes private alternatives to government regulation.
A Georgetown University study had previously found that Florida Medicaid expansion would save the state $300 million in 2014, and a study for the Florida Hospital Association predicted 56,000 new jobs because of expansion. Florida's Republican Gov. Rick Scott said the state would participate. However, it remains stalled in Florida's Legislature.
Sebelius seemed positive as she talked about the other benefits of the law, even as critics hosted press conferences denouncing it and the House, for the 36th time, voted to repeal it Thursday.
"All of what we've been talking about would go," Sebelius said of the vote. "They would keep the savings (of the law), but they would repeal all of the operating tools that would get us to those savings."
Among savings seen so far, she said:
- More than 6.3 million people have saved more than $6.1 billion on prescription drugs as the law tries to close the Medicare Part D coverage gap.
- For the first time in 50 years, Medicare costs are going down, and Medicaid costs decreased from last year to this year.
- Hospital readmission rates have gone down.
- And state officials have stopped double-digit health insurance premium increases.
"It's a demonstration of what the president has said all along — that you can decrease costs while improving care," Sebelius said, adding that both the Congressional Budget Office and independent actuary reports have shown that. "It's very clear that some of the statutes in the Affordable Care Act are helping in lowering costs in overall health spending."
In response to concerns about small-business owners either decreasing employees' hours because they can't pay for health insurance, Sebelius said Massachusetts officials heard the same thing before they implemented their health care law in 2006. Now more Massachusetts small businesses provide insurance than before the law.
"We're talking about a marketplace that was pretty broken," she said, adding that small businesses had to pay higher prices for the same products big businesses received for less because they did not have the same bargaining power. "We were on a downward death spiral on the small-business market. What I hear over and over is that they want to provide coverage."
Insurance is important for recruiting and retaining employees, she said. Before the law, 10% of small businesses provided insurance to their employees.
Sebelius said HHS is developing payment reforms and prevention reforms through more innovative programs. "We actually can implement that system-wide without congressional approval," she said. "We fully intend to accelerate that pace."
Sebelius said she expects the law to reduce costs more than initial estimates showed.
"I think we're going to see more as we move forward," she said. "I think we are already seeing some pretty interesting moves in the private sector."
For example, the rule that requires insurers to spend 80% of customers' premiums on health care costs, as well as the statute that requires rate review for double-digit premium increases, has helped keep costs in check, she said. Some companies asked for rate increases as high as 20%, even as increases in health care costs have slowed.
"Lots of states didn't do that at all before," Sebelius said. "States have really increased their oversight over the insurance industry. That has been a nice counterbalance to the year-in, year-out increases in rates."
Some people will pay higher premiums, Sebelius said, because the law calls for a basic package of benefits that will include more than some people have now.
"But I think their out-of-pocket costs will go down substantially," she said, adding that they won't have to worry about bankruptcy-causing medical bills that come when people don't understand what's in their policies.
In October, HHS and the states will begin enrolling people in the health care exchanges, a process that will begin at the healthcare.gov website, which also features explanations and updates. On Oct. 1, even those with pre-existing conditions or those who had been turned away in the past will be able to enroll.
"I think that, for a lot of people, it's a brand-new day," she said.
