Album Review: Chris Young — Neon
If there weren't any text on the cover of Neon, you might not recognize the artist: Chris Young is without a cowboy hat for what might be the first time in his career. Luckily, the hatlessness and carefully coiffed hair don't signify a major shift in his sound.
There are a few elements, such as the slicker production, that make Neon, as a whole, more radio-friendly than his previous albums, but it still has a lot of appeal—and pedal steel—for listeners who long for the days when Randy Travis and Keith Whitley zoomed up the charts. As is de rigueur for most contemporary male artists, Young namedrops a few country singers; in this case, the music and his rich, nuanced vocals sound as though he's actually listened to those musicians he cites (Conway Twitty and Johnny Lee).
Frothy, catchy tunes "I Can Take It From There" and "Lost," which is reminiscent of Easton Corbin's "Roll With It," get Neon off to a good start, but the album quickly crashes to a halt with "Save Water, Drink Beer." Aside from its hackneyed lyrics that consist mainly of slogans that can be found on t-shirts in frat houses across the country, Young almost shouts the chorus. It's a waste of his talents, something that's made even more obvious due to its placement on the record: sandwiched between his two best vocal turns—"Tomorrow" and the title track.
"Neon," written by Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne, and Trevor Rosen, goes down smooth as Tennessee whiskey. With its crying steel guitar and fiddle, the ballad sounds as though it'd be a perfect fit for the "weekend on the rocks [and] an old school jukebox" Young sings about. If you've got any doubts that Young is one of the finest artists to hit mainstream country since Josh Turner broke out on the scene, this song will put those misgivings to rest. Though Neon occasionally gets mired down in sap, like on the tepid album closer "She's Got This Thing About Her," for the most part, Young stays on the right side of the line separating schmaltz and sentimentality with tales of fatherly wisdom delivered under the hood of a car ("Flashlight") and depictions of domestic bliss ("When She's On").
Young, who's got a trio of Number One singles under his belt, has certainly come a long way since his time as a Nashville Star contestant: perhaps the most important element of his journey has been his maturation as a songwriter (he co-wrote seven of the ten tracks on the album). Neon is another step toward well-deserved stardom. Despite a few flaws, it's an enjoyable—if short—listen. Best of all, there are no rap interludes, '80s pop arrangements, or reggae breakdowns—just solid, no nonsense country music.

I enjoyed this album. The first three cuts were all good, but I didn't like "Save Water, Drink Beer" any more than you did. But it gets back on track pretty quickly. I really liked "Flashglight" and the title track.
The title track is probably one of my favorite new songs I've heard all year.
I really like the title track. Spot on review in my opinion :)
After I got over my minor disappointment that he hadn't, in fact, covered the John Mayer song of the same name, I've grown to really dig that title track.
So happy about this site, BTW. I really missed a place to talk about country music! If you all need any help with anything in terms of getting things going, feel free to shoot me an email… I'm not sure what I could do, but I'd really like to see this place last.
Anyway, my favorite tracks on this album, upon first listen, are "Don't Leave Her (If You Can't Let Her Go)", then "Tomorrow", then "Neon". The first two are the kind of stuff I really wish Chris would stick to; he's so good at interpreting songs with actual emotional depth and conflict, and he even carries the 80's-power-ballad chorus melody of "Tomorrow" pretty well. "Neon" isn't particularly original, but it just sounds like a classic 90's country hit, which I'm always a sucker for.
"When She's On" and "You" are fun, nice-sounding numbers that don't aim very high but accomplish what they set out to in a fun way. Nice, safe singles if he wants to go that way. "Flashlight" is one I'll have to take a few more listens to to get a better read on, but is at least original in its presentation.
The overall song quality is a step up from "Voices" on this album, but I still wish he would take some more risks… "pleasant" is the perfect adjective to use, but I think he's capable of "classic". I just don't think songs like "She's Got This Thing…", "I'm Gonna Change That", "Old Love Feels New", "Save Water…", etc., are catchy and good enough to demand radio play or interesting enough to be album cuts for an artist of his caliber.
It's still one of the best releases of the year, I just always have such high hopes for Chris Young!
You do know that the universal 'hate' for "Save Water, Drink Beer" means it'll be a single at some point. ;-)

Quotes & Highlights
"The temperature never stops rising … There is more erotic heat generated by the two central characters … seamlessly blends the visual poetry into the naturalistic" —The New York Times
South African-born and internationally acclaimed director Yael Farber sets her explosive new adaptation of Strindberg's classic Miss Julie in the smoldering kitchen of a remote estate 18 years after the end of apartheid. In a brutal and tender single night we witness the shifting dynamics between a black farm laborer, his "master's" daughter and the woman who has raised them both. The visceral struggles of contemporary South Africa are revealed in a fierce battle over power, sexuality, memory, mothers and land. Haunting and violent, intimate and heartbreaking, the struggles take place among the characters and with their ancestors, laying bare questions of what restitution and freedom can really mean and what losses can and cannot ever be recovered. An international success, Mies Julie is the recipient of seven awards (including a Fringe First) and has received nearly 30 five-star reviews.

Supervision, Water and kids.... this could be you
Started by hannahbug , Oct 02 2011 01:45 PM

Posted 02 October 2011 - 01:45 PM
This is why we should talk about it. This is my story and i hope that be retelling it that someone listens and takes note that drowning can happen to them. After reading a few post on EB over the last 6 months there are some who just dont 'get it'. I read with disgust a bath supervision topic and so many kids are not being supervised during bath time. These kids are as young as 2. Seriously who doesnt watch a child when in water??? this is our life now without Hannah please dont let it be you. Supervise your kids at all times and have barriers in place for whatever water activity or environment you are in.
Four years ago this was our story http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/stories...troubled-waters
in 2008 on Hannah's Anniversary we filmed with Tara Brown on 60 Minutes with the Harris Family in Victoria. In December 2008 we had Hannah's Inquest, this November the Harris' have their inquest for Lauren. In this program we support the ISR program, so much so that we had young Harry trained in it last December travelling to Sydney. Its our belief that EVERY CHILD should be able to roll over an...d float and have THEIR FACE UP FIRST instead of Hold your breath and swim to the edge which is most likely what Hannah did, its what she was taught. Please dont ignore the skills kids need but dont ever rely on 'swimming' because it wont save your life. If only is a question I ask every day Why wasnt Hannah able to get out of the pool when she could swim. dont let us be you.
Hannah died by drowning in our back yard pool (it was illegally built to safety standards and TWO professionals who had seen it never raised the issue) and suffered a heart attack that she could not be revived from.
Many children that drown are in environments that they shouldnt be in, their carers/parents last saw them in anoth...er room or where thought to be with the other carer/parent, many children who drown are enrolled in swim lessons at the time of their death and most if not of all those parents believed that their child could 'save themselves' as they did in lessons many times.
The fact is that Lessons and kids are controlled and drowning is silent, alone and unfamiliar which leads to panic. In the advocacy of myself, Kat Plint her belief is that many children drown and panic due to the temperature of the pool water. lessons are in heated pools most homes/dams/creeks arent. Cold water create panics and instantly the body wants to shiver but sadly being vertical in the water and weighed down by clothes kids are expected to survive. After 18 coronial inquests that I have attended not once has this issue been addressed by a coroner. NOt even in our own daughters inquest was it raised... WHY?? because NOT one person or invesigator took the temperature of the pool when they arrived.
Always supervise your kids around water, lock external doors to outside areas and be familiar with your environment. Many children drown in backyard pools whilst visiting friends, neighbours or simply didnt KNOW the pool was even there and thought the back yard was Pool free. If you have a pool please place a sign at your front door saying "we have a pool please SUPERVISE your children". All pools need to be fenced according to the AS1926.1 Standard and In Qld you can not rent/lease or buy a house WITHOUT a pool safety certificate and all pools must be registered on the Pool Safety Council's registered 4th November 2011.
for Bath safety please supervise your child always and never turn your back on them even to grab a towel from next the room. Sadly three children aged 14 months, 3.5 years and 5 years 1 month have drowned over the past month from being left UNATTENDED in the bath/shower only to drown and not to be revived.
Home safety - mop buckets, dogs bowls, wshing the car, horse troughs and any water that is more than 3cm will drown and kill a child. The top loader washing machine has killed three children in four years. Lock your laundry door so kids cant access it.
Farm safety is crucially important that Houses need safe play areas and these areas need fencing that is secure and at a height that prevents children from roaming and accessing dams/creeks/irrigational channels.
Beach safety is swim between the red/yellow flags, always make sure your children are wearing high visibility swim clothes that you can idenitify with and also put bracelets on your children with your mobile phone number and their name.
Boating - when on the water on boats etc please ensure that all NON SWIMMERS are in life jackets that are approved for Boating. A reflective life jacket with a floatation collar is designed to keep your face up and you floating on your back when you are in the water. Most jackets should have a whistle and reflectors. if you are taking passengers that havent been boating it is your responsibility to teach your passengers the safety procedures in water and ensure their safety at all times. Everyone under 12 has to legally wear a life jacket and all NON SWIMMERS.
CHILDREN OF ALL AGES WHO ARE NON SWIMMERS (can not swim more than 50m) have to be in ARMS REACH AT ALL TIMES and do ont leave children in water with Swim vests or toys and rely on them as a drowning prevention safety item. THEY ARE DANGEROUS and all require SUPERVISION and ADULTS to be with them.
All children need to supervised and we hope that this Spring/Summer season that your children enjoy the water and are safe! Please eyes on all at times and never ever rely on someone else to watch your children.
this safety message proudly supports National Drowning Prevention, Awareness and Memorial Day on 4th October 2011. Please take a minute at 2pm to remember all those lost to drowning and those who are injured and their families. Over 315 families last year were affected and since 2008 Hannah's Foundation has supported over 468 families.
keep safe around water, heads up, face up first, float on your back and Put your hand up!
I hope no one ever experiences this on any level whether a parent, sibling, emergency worker or neighbour, doctor or nurse. THe experience is horrific and I wouldnt wish it on anyone. I just want to you to listen and take action and keep your kids safe. We did everything right with Hannah and it failed dont let us be you.

Thank you for posting this. I couldn't watch the flash video but I read the transcript. Where are these learn to drown lessons available?

The Kids Aquatic Survival Swim school is located in Sydney at three locations now you can book through www.infantswim.com.au
We hope to raise enough money to be able to have teachers in Victoria and Qld as a not for profit swim survival school sadly as a charity we are not govt funded and there is some backlash in the industry about this program.
The insurance on a swim school will be expensive for our charity though and its all down to $$. Anyway just thought Id tell our story to educate more people.
Posted 02 October 2011 - 02:30 PM
Thank you for continuing to spread the message.
I am so sorry that you lost Hannah and admire you for working so hard to prevent any other families going through the same anguish.

Katherine is there an increased potential risk of dry drowning with ISR?

Katherine is there an increased potential risk of dry drowning with ISR?
Adults are more likely to dry drown because they hold their breath longer, in kids they are more likely to wet drown in their lungs because their brain tells them to breathe after they passout under water.
To my knowledge and Ive spoken with Dr Harvey Barnett in the USA about this there has been no case where a child has drowned in ISR or being skilled in same. Every child in ISR has a ISR Registered number. Harry our son has his own number and if he is in an aquatic accident that its also reportable to ISR in the USA. The seven cases that are known were boating accidents and and four swimming accidents. on all occasions medical and the medical pathologists ruled accordingly to head injury being unconsious and having seizures/asthma attacks in the water. When you are unconscience in the water you are unable to do anything so no action by the body can be taken to get your head out of the water.
IN Australia I only know of three secondary drowning cases in children where hte children were immersed and not checked by a doctor and subsequently died of Secondary drowning a few days later.
The dry drowning cases that I have dealth with in coroners court have been adults and those adults were intoxicated as well when they drowned.
Hope this helps.
Posted 02 October 2011 - 02:59 PM
I'm sorry for your loss. Thanks for that information and sharing your story.
I too am mystified by people who leave their young children in baths alone. There is a reason why drowning is called the silent killer.
Posted 02 October 2011 - 03:41 PM
Very sad story.
I too was shocked the other day with a certain thread!
Posted 02 October 2011 - 03:46 PM
Katherine, thank you for continuing to educate other parents and care givers about such an important issue. I'm so sorry that you lost your beautiful daughter. I hope your words of advice can save another family the anguish of losing their child to drowning.

Thank your for posting this to raise awareness. I know of a young child who was left alone in the bath for a minute or so while mum answered the phone. He had a seizure while she was out of the room and was a near drowning. His brain injuries are immense and he will never walk, talk, move functionally or eat again. I thought I would post this story to raise awareness that even if your child does survive a near drowning they may never be the same again. Be careful near the water.

Thanks for telling your story... definately an important message.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter, Hannah. Thank you for this reminder - it's such an important message.
Just a few weeks ago in our local area, a young boy passed away after drowning in a bucket of water...just terrible.
I've just looked up our local swim centre and will call them tomorrow. We stopped lessons because the boys had to have grommets and because we couldn't afford it at the time, but it's high time they both went to lessons. My husband and I were just discussing it and sadly, if either of them were to fall into a pool, they would drown unless seen immediately. Neither of them have adequate skills to save themselves.
Thank you for posting this
Posted 02 October 2011 - 08:36 PM
Thanks so much for this reminder. So sorry for your loss and you are spreading such a valuable message in her memory.

This thread should be active all month. We keep far more inane ones active...this message is really important. Let's keep it bumped!
Posted 03 October 2011 - 01:34 PM
Replying to bump it back up and to say thank you Kat for all this work you are doing to keep this in people minds.
The day that Hannah drowned we were in Qld at a resort and my daughter (then 2) was sitting on a step with her elder sister and brother whilst I took the babies clothes off. She stepped onto the next step down and lost her footing. She stopped struggling within about 3 seconds and just floated. Luckily my elder daughter was within 1 metre of her and pulled her up. It was the scariest thing that I have EVER witnessed in my life - to see how quickly she just stopped everything. It makes it so obvious to me that drowning is the silent killer - if we hadn't been closer it could have been a very different outcome.
For that reason, I will never, ever, ever buy a house with a pool because I just couldn't stand the stress and worry all the time. It definately has made me so much more conscious.
So thank you, for all the work you do in Hannah's memory.
Posted 03 October 2011 - 01:37 PM
Thank you all for helping keep this bumped up. I did ask EB about two years ago to have a Water Safety forum but its was rejected to keep the Questions of pools/swimming and accidents in one place. Maybe we could all ask again? Im in the middle of writing our national day media release so I will post a link to it soon.
Thank you all for your support . when hannah died some lovely ladies in here scrapbooked me a memory book with little cards I still have it on my dedicated wall and I continue to look at the messages of Hope.

And while I'm at it, I also decided that I don't want to give any of my sims normal jobs (in maxis' careers), but built a closed economy with as less money appearing out of nowhere as possible. I'm still unsure though how that should work exactly, though. XD

- If I restart, I want to make their faces more diverse and I want to add some real Neanderthals with more pronounced facial features (someone else did this before, but I can't remember who it was). I want to see how long the Neanderthal face will stick around.

1. What if they fight and the emperor is killed? Should I execute Trean? Throw him into the next Colosseum fight? Make him a slave? Make his whole family slaves? Make him emperor and make the emperor's family patricians? Make him emperor and make the emperor's family slaves? Make him emperor and kill the current emperor's family members he doesn't like (I can't kill the whole family because that would wipe out a family name)? I normally don't punish my sims for fighting but killing the emperor is kind of a big deal or at least I feel it should be.

'Model congregation' finds new life
Twenty-five years ago, as a fledgling Jewish congregation took root and began to grow in Henrico County, it flourished first on the passion of its 40 founding families and their vision of a culture that was participatory, egalitarian, and child-inclusive.
As additional families flocked to the congregation and services began to outgrow the members' homes, Congregation Or Atid blossomed anew with a move to a building convenient to its membership – thanks to a helping hand from others in the community.
Since 1986, Or Atid has seen rabbis come and go and membership numbers ebb and flow, while weathering events from a building fire to a second move. But two things have remained constant as the congregation enters its second quarter-century enjoying an upward swing in membership, a dynamic new rabbi, and a newly refurbished synagogue: the passion of its members, and support from the outer community.
Ron Fink, a vice president at Or Atid and one of the original "Founding 40," has observed the transformation with delight. He remembers well the initial meetings in congregants' homes, and the move to the first building site on Parham Road – while it was still in use by West End Assembly of God (WEAG).
[WEAG] "needed a new facility, and while they were building the new church, we were allowed to move in," recalls Fink gratefully, adding that WEAG leaders bent over backwards to accommodate Or Atid's needs. "We had this Saturday-Sunday coexistence for a year."
Fink also has fond recollections of the early days, and of the bonds that formed among the founding members.
"It was such a tight community," he says. "It was interwoven into our lives. If you didn't show up for services one week, everyone would notice. They'd say, 'Oh my gosh, where's Ron?'"
Energy and spirit
Last month, Congregation Or Atid completed its move into a newly renovated facility on Patterson Avenue. And on August 1, the congregation officially welcomed Rabbi Royi Shaffin as its new spiritual leader.
In between the two moves, the congregation went through a number of "peaks and valleys," as Fink put it, that often afflict religious organizations.
From its membership peak of 240 families, the numbers had declined to less than half that. The children of the once- young families had grown up, and many parents had drifted away. In addition to the shrinking congregation (typical of many religious institutions these days), lagging attendance and turnover in rabbis, there were administrative issues, budget pressures, and maintenance problems with the aging building on Parham Road.
Among the remaining members, says Fink, there seemed to be a creeping malaise.
"Even founding-family members were saying it's not the place it used to be," says Fink. "The energy was lacking; people were missing something."
And so, one might say, the stage was set for Rabbi Shaffin.
Chosen after an extensive search that included interviews and weekend visits with candidates who led services, taught school and attended "Meet the Rabbi" socials, Shaffin might appear to be somewhat of a misfit for a congregation with Or Atid's 50-plus demographics.
At 37, he arrived from New Jersey wielding technological tools unfamiliar to most of the members, and wasted no time establishing a blog and launching a Twitter campaign, public Facebook page and congregational Facebook page as a means of engaging the public and building community.
But from the first, says Fink, "Age was absolutely no barrier. It was a marriage – it was a match. The thing we were most missing is what comes most naturally to him; he's injected so much energy and spirit.
"Just tying him to this chair is tough," adds Fink, gesturing toward Shaffin as he fidgets during an interview.
Who is intelligent?
As for Rabbi Shaffin, he saw in Or Atid a congregation in need of revitalization, but with the potential – and forward-thinking members – to achieve it.
"Many congregations of all denominations, become stale, routinized, ritualized – empty of meaning and spirituality," says Shaffin. "In the Conservative and Orthodox movements, there's a concentration on Jewish Law. In the Reform movement, it's about social action and changing the world for the better. In neither of those [missions] is mention of God.
"But it's all about connection to God," says Shaffin. "If you have done a ritual or a social action project, and it is devoid of God, then you've missed the point."
At Congregation Or Atid, says Shaffin, he met members who were hungry for that spiritual connection. "I received such a positive response to the way I conduct service, and to the way I view Judaism and the future of Judaism."
What's more, reflects Shaffin, he observed that Or Atid is a "learning congregation." Paraphrasing a principle from Jewish teachings, he recites, "Who is intelligent? The one who learns from every person."
"I heard the history," says Shaffin. "And [this congregation] has learned from its past, and learned from its present.
"I was looking for a synagogue with a future," concludes Shaffin. "And I believe this congregation is uniquely positioned. . . It's a model congregation of the 21st century – a congregation of visionaries."
Bursting at the seams
With the move to its new location – the former home of E. Carlton Wilton Properties on Patterson Avenue – Or Atid now has the flexibility to grow again. The space that was Wilton's loading dock has been transformed into an entryway, lined with bricks from the Parham Road building. In the space that was Wilton's warehouse is the sanctuary and multi-purpose room, which features retractable walls that allow expansion to a patio and the potential for tented space to accommodate large crowds.
And just as WEAG offered a hand up 25 years ago, community members and other organizations have stepped forward to help Or Atid with the transition to the new space.
Before the renovations on Patterson Avenue were complete, Jewish Community Center leaders told Or Atid members not to fret about the possibility of having to vacate the Parham Road facility (now owned by Richmond Montessori School) and do without meeting space.
"You'll have a roof," JCC leaders assured the congregation.
In addition, the members at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, located adjacent to Or Atid, have offered the use of their parking lot on High Holy Days.
On a tour of the repurposed building, Shaffin and Fink point with pride to a foyer highlighted by Jerusalem stone, a painting commissioned for the new space, and memorial plaques brought from the Parham Road site. The facility also boasts a full meat and dairy kitchen, and ample classroom space to house the congregation's nationally recognized school.
The Helen and Sam Kornblau Religious School, recognized as a "Framework for Excellence School," is the first and only religious school in the Commonwealth and one of only 88 schools in the nation to receive the honor from the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism.
In the multi-purpose room, Shaffin and Fink describe the growing crowds that are attending popular social events, such as the "Shabarbeques" celebrating the Sabbath.
As the congregation's growth cycle continues on its latest surge, says Fink, synagogue leaders are already looking at ways to expand the building – which was fashioned with that flexibility in mind.
"This synagogue can only go up," says Rabbi Shaffin. "It's going to be bursting at the seams."
"For me, as a founding member," reflects Fink, "this is bringing back the same feeling as when we were starting.
"I have a lot of pride in where we've come in 25 years."

Town of Oyster Bay residents can learn to skate this summer by registering for skating lessons at the Town of Oyster Bay's Ice Skating Center, at 1001 Stewart Ave. in Bethpage.
"Skating lessons for people of all ages take place at our rink throughout the year," Oyster Bay Town Councilman Chris J. Coschignano said.
Oyster Bay resident Danielle Giannetti and Locust Valley residents James Blatchly and Dylan Appel committed to play collegiate tennis. They were recently recognized by the United States Tennis Association of Eastern Long Island (USTA) with a celebration at the Knights of Columbus with other local students.
"An event like this was well overdue," said Clark D. Kuiz, USTA member who spearheaded the event. "We wanted to commemorate how strong our region is on a tennis standpoint as well as recognize high school seniors that are committed to playing tennis."
Joanne Gallo of Oyster Bay took home the first place award plaque in the women's 65-69 age group in the 23rd annual David Lerner Associates Long Island Police Appreciation 5 Kilometer Run, which was held at Eisenhower Park on the evening of June 5.
Gallo crossed the finish line in 28 minutes, 1 second, 32 seconds in front of Abby Gonzalez of Dix Hills, who scored second in the age group.
The run was conducted by the Greater Long Island Running Club, under the sponsorship of David Lerner Associates, the outstanding Syosset corporate citizen whose generous support for this event over the years has made it possible for the run to have donated more than $300,000 over the years to law enforcement officers and their families in time of personal emergency.
Both the boys and girls lacrosse teams at St. Dominic's High School won the CHSAA 'A' Championship, for the first time since 2011.
"This is really a great group of kids. They take pride in winning for St. Dominic's more than for themselves, and you don't see that very often," says Coach Matthew O'Brien.
The Oyster Bay fencing team recently invited back all alumni to fence against current team members. The event was a success, helping the team raise enough money for new equipment for next year's season.
Oyster Bay High School's fencing team has been one of the most successful teams in the high school division. Next year, the team hopes to have another successful year in fencing.
The Spring Varsity Sports Season is into post-season play in Oyster Bay. Every season the academic averages of all varsity sports teams are taken collectively and each team whose average is greater than 90 percent is honored with the Scholar/Athlete Team distinction by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA). In a remarkable testament to the well-rounded OBEN student, all nine Spring Varsity Teams earned this prestigious award.
The 2014 Oyster Bay High School Lady Baymen varsity softball team was crowned Class B Nassau County Champions last week when they defeated Carle Place High School in the finals at Mitchel Park in Uniondale. The Lady Baymen swept the best of three series with 2-0 and 11-9 victories. The week before in the Class B semi-finals, the Lady Baymen swept East Rockaway High School by scores of 6-0 and 13-1 to advance to the county finals. Next up for the county champs is the Long Island Championship game on June 5 at Mitchel Park in Uniondale and hopefully another Fire Department escort back into town.
The Locust Valley High School Wrestling Team was crowned New York Division II State Wrestling Champions. Nassau County Legislator Donald MacKenzie was on hand to congratulate the members and coaches of the team. Locust Valley Wrestling Head Coach Joe Enea and members of the Locust Valley High School Wrestling Team are pictured.
Oyster Bay endurance runners Matt Kelly and Kate Cifarelli each successfully completed the May 10 Long Island Greenbelt Trail 25 Kilometer Run from Plainview to Cold Spring Harbor and back. Kelly completed the course in two hours, 54 minutes, 26 seconds, and Cifarelli reached the finish line in three hours, 20 minutes, 56 seconds.
The event was staged by the Greater Long Island Running Club and made possible by a great cadre of senior staff, led by race director Nick Palazzo, coordinator of volunteers Lou LaFleur, Bob Sherman, Fred von der Heydt, Linda Ottaviano, Rich Innamorato, and Curt and Irene Robinson.
The Locust Valley Varsity Girls Lacrosse team finished the regular season as Conference III Champions. The Lady Falcons were 9-0 in league play and 11-4 overall.
The team worked hard all season and their dedication paid off. The Lady Falcons exhibited that they know how to play and act as a family, both on and off the field.

With Baskin Robbins scooping ice cream on one side and Yo Mama serving up frozen yogurt on the other, the Root Common grassy triangle in the Village is becoming a sweet snack spot.
Nicole Breest believes it's time to add the salty. The New Berlin woman has asked for permission to operate a popcorn wagon near the pine tree in the area.
She plans sell freshly popped popcorn, as well as prepackaged cheese and caramel corn, plus root beer and old-fashioned candy such as licorice ropes.
The Plan Commission and Community Development Committee unanimously supported the request last week, which was echoed by the Common Council on Tuesday.
"The Village is a part of my district and I think that's a lovely use that fits right in," said Alderwoman Kathleen Causier, who sits on the commission.
She plans to sell from 4 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and from 3 to 8:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Breest would end her season on Halloween by giving out trick-or-treat bags.
There have been popcorn wagons in the Village in the past: one when Drew's Variety Store was operating and the other at the end of the Harwood pedestrian bridge.

Chionanthus virginicus
Fringe Tree
Deciduous, Shrubs, Trees
Spectacular flowering plants requiring some winter chill. The common name (fringe tree) refers to the narrow, fringelike white petals on flowers that are borne in impressive, ample, lacy clusters. Male and female plants are separate; males have larger flowers. If both plants are present, females produce clusters of small, dark, olivelike fruit favored by birds. Broad leaves turn bright to deep yellow in fall.
Good drainage is required. Minimal pruning needed. Resist most pests and diseases, though fungal leaf spot and powdery mildew may occur.
Native to the southeastern U.S. Leaves and flower clusters are often twice as big as those of Chionanthus retusus. Lightly fragrant, greenish white flowers appear by the plant's third year. Can reach 30 ft. tall, but in gardens usually grows to 12–20 ft. high with equal spread. Habit varies from very shrubby and open to more treelike. In Zones 2–6, where it grows very slowly (the most you can hope for is 12 ft. in 10 years), it is best used as an airy shrub; blooms profusely when just 2–3 ft. tall. In those zones, it is one of the last deciduous plants to leaf out in spring.
Clematis hybrids 'Henryi'
Longtime favorite with big white flowers.
Deschampsia cespitosa
Native to North America, Asia, Europe. Clumps of narrow dark green leaves grow to 1–2 ft. tall a...
Wisteria floribunda
From Japan. Leaves are 12–16 in. long, divided into 15 to 19 leaflets. Fragrant, 1/2-ft. cluster...

The high-octane saga reunites the Emmy Award-winning team of executive producer Howard Gordon star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland co-creator Robert Cochran executive producers Evan Katz, Manny Coto, David Fury, Brian Grazer and director Jon Cassar. It also will retain the real-time, pulse-pounding, fast-paced format with split screens and interweaving storylines.
Set and shot in London, the suspenseful event series once again will follow the exploits of heroic agent JACK BAUER (Sutherland). Four years ago, Jack was a fugitive from justice.

Calling the shots is JAMES HELLER (William Devane, "The Dark Knight Rises"), now President of the United States. Heller is flanked by his Chief of Staff MARK BOUDREAU (Tate Donovan, "Damages"), who is married to Heller's daughter – Jack's former flame, AUDREY (Kim Raver, "Revolution"). Meanwhile, a hardened CHLOE O'BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub, "Firewall"), Bauer's CTU confidante, is now working underground with high-profile hacker ADRIAN CROSS (Michael Wincott, "The Crow"). Guest stars on 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY include Golden Globe Award nominee Stephen Fry ("Alice in Wonderland," BONES) and Michelle Fairley ("Game of Thrones"). The harrowing day will have Jack attempting to thwart an unthinkable terrorist attack that could change the world forever.

Second rinse
By Happy Lady on June 02, 2014
It worked better on my nipples then it did in my mouth. I felt it dance around, leaving a trail of saliva that side down the side of my boob.
"Don't stop!"
Yes it was a shout and not one of those soft whispers in his ear, it's strange but his motion was tender but firm, fine not rough, and a touch of happy with joy. He was making love to me and that is when I remembered. During out friendship, Maz was a good friend, someone I loved.
"Doggie style?" Right now I was ready for whatever he was willing to give me. He rose up and out of me and placed his feet on the floor. He held out his hand and he helped me turn around. With ease he was back up on the machines.
I placed my knees upon the lid of the washer. For just a split second I was glad Darkness didn't have those giant front load washer or worst the smaller ones that you can stack up and put in the closet.
There I was on my hands and knees with my hand being on the dryer and my knees on the washer. I could feel his hands kneading and spreading my butt cheeks apart to give him more entry room. It was then, as if lighting had struck me, he placed his member inside of me, genteelly.
I gave out a loud shout of excitement and heard him give off a playful giggle.
"Yeah! That's me."
I returned he thrust feeling myself getting wetter and wetter with each of his plunges deep inside of me. I licked my lips just to complete the thought of him kissing me. In one swift moment he brought my back to his chest, turned my head to the side, shoveled his tongue into my mouth and gave me at least ten solid, deep thrust causing me to scream into his mouth. I quickly turned my head gasping for air.
"OH! That's the way you like it." He said giving me twenty more in rapid succession. I jumped forward placing my hands again on the hot surface as liquid flowed from me onto him. "Let me give you some more." Again his hands were on my behind molding it as if it was clay.
I could barely keep my hands on top of the now hot machine. It was becoming harder to enjoy what was going on behind me. I braced my hand on my lower thigh for a sense of relief.
His hands left my behind and caress my hips and moved to my lower back. My eyes closed as I exhaled a deep breath through my mouth. I felt him inside of me, felt his hands on my body and I thought I felt him knocking at my heart.
"No one is at home." I said to myself.
One of his arms went under my breast as the other went on top and he pulled me back to his chest. He nibbled at my ear like a teenager while one of his hands glided down my stomach to the point between my legs. It was one, maybe three fingers began vibrating from side to side helping my body release the energy trapped deep inside. I let my hand softy lay on top of his giving slight direction in movement to get him to his destination.
I was feeling him. I mean FEELING HIM! Every movement he made inside of me made me want to scream to the top of my lungs and from the sounds coming from upstairs someone else was feeling the same thing.
My insides were in a sense reaching, better, grabbing for him. My mind drifted from reality to fantasy and I tried my hardest to stay focused, but it was hard as my eyes crisscrossed in my head. I didn't know if a little of my happiness situation that I had upstairs was creeping back on me or could it have been the human chemicals releasing itself into my brain. I felt his hands touching my hips, the sides my breast and then came the strong tug on my hair.
"Come to me." He said pulling my hair back toward his body. He didn't miss a stroke but increased as he wrapped his other hand around my waist stopping me before I sat in his lap. "Don't' move! I like it like this." His voice was low and yet still deep as the words trickled in my ear. His thrust were now shorter, quicker and more penetrating and mesmerizing to my body. Dare I say breathtaking.

Steve Jobs bio film set for April release
The first film based on the life of legendary Apple co-founder Steve Jobs will be released in April, according to a distribution deal for "jOBS" announced on Thursday.
The first film based on the life of legendary Apple co-founder Steve Jobs will be released in April, according to a distribution deal for "jOBS" announced on Thursday.
After tiptoeing out of the long shadow of Steve Jobs this last year, Apple Inc. Chief Executive Tim Cook took a giant leap into the spotlight last week.
The first film on the life of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs since his death, with Ashton Kutcher in the title role, will debut in January at the Sundance Film Festival, organizers said.
Prediction: In 12 months, the iPad Mini will become Apple's best-selling iPad.
Its products may not, as one British judge put it, be as "cool" as bitter rival Apple's, but Samsung Electronics is speeding away from the iconic iPhone maker in the race for the global smartphone market.
(AP)—Apple Inc. shook up its executive ranks Monday, saying the head of its store operations is leaving after just six months on the job and the long-serving head of its iPhone software development operations is exiting ...
The scene might pass for a high-tech forum in California, but the young entrepreneurs presenting their products on stage are Africans, keen to show off low-tech applications for the continent.
Just two years ago, Apple's late co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs mocked small-screened tablets as "tweeners" that were too little to compete with the larger iPad but too big to compete with smartphones.
A week following the launch of the iPhone 5 and iOS 6, Apple CEO Tim Cook apologized for the company's imperfect new Maps app. But flawed maps haven't been the only issue to get some consumers worked up in ...
(AP)—Apple Inc. has sent out invites for an event next Tuesday, where it's expected to announce the release of a smaller iPad.
Apple Inc. is set to reveal a smaller, cheaper version of the iPad at an event on Oct. 23, according to several reports published Friday.
As Apple paid homage Friday to Steve Jobs a year after his death, the US technology giant appeared to be extending its leadership in the sector even without the visionary leader.
(AP)—Oracle CEO Larry Ellison envisions his recently acquired Hawaiian island becoming a "little laboratory" for experimenting with more environmentally sound ways to live.
As I played around with the iPhone 5 on Wednesday, I wondered what the late Steve Jobs would have thought about the latest twist on Apple's best-selling device.
Tim Cook is no Steve Jobs - and so far, that hasn't been a problem for Apple Inc.
