How to get Siri to correctly pronounce your name or call you something else
Trying to figure out how to get the iPhone 4S's Siri virtual personal assistant to say your name properly? One of Siri's abilities is to learn who you are and refer to you by your first name. However, many of us have names that Siri does not how to pronounce correctly. Or perhaps you don't even want to be called by your real name. For example, Ally likes to go by "Jailbreak Ninja". To get Siri to pronounce your name correctly or call you something else, all you need to do ask. Or you can change the phonetic spellings fields of your contact info.
Ask Siri
- Activate Siri by holding down the home button and wait for the beep.
- Say "Call me ____" Fill in the blank with whatever you want Siri to refer to you as. This can be your name or anything else.
- Siri will reply "From now on, I'll call you ____. OK?
- Reply "OK."
Siri will the update the nickname field of your contact info to this name. This is also how your name will appear when Siri types out your name.
Manually update the phonetic spelling of your name
- Open Contacts app
- Select your name
- Tap Edit
- Scroll to the bottom and tap "add field"
- Tap Phonetic First Name or Phonetic Last Name
- Fill out the field with the phonetic spelling of your name
- Tap Done
Using this method is best for correct pronunciation of your name, because Siri will still display your name with its correct spelling.
Manually update your nickname
To have Siri call you something other than your name, you can update your nickname manually, and here's how:
- Open Contacts app
- Select your name
- Tap Edit
- Scroll to the bottom and tap "add field"
Tap Nickname
Fill in the field with the name you wish to be called.
- Tap Done
Using this method will display your name as whatever you typed in the Nickname field.
There you go! Now you're all set to have Siri call you whatever you wish - whether that be the correct pronunciation of your name, or something else.
Please let us know how this tip worked out for you! Is anyone choosing a nickname other than a phonetically spelled version of their first name, like "Master", to be humorous? Let us know in the comments below!

How to get Siri to correctly pronounce your name or call you something else
Much to my Girlfriend's chagrin, Siri calls me "Sweet Cheeks".
Justin... I added my last name phonetically, but when I do that my name is moved in the contact list to what my phonetic name is. It DOES display the spelling of my name correctly, but it places it phonectically. My name begins with an Sc...but I spell it phonetically Sh...and my contact listing moves to the "Sh" listings. Have I done something wrong?
I use the "Siri, call me ____" as well. This way you get Siri's interpretation of the phonetics so you don't have to guess around.
Mine says Dictator
Thanks! This is a great tip because my name is DeLeon, but the correct pronunciation is "Dell-Le-On".
This is going to be fun when someone leaves their 4S unlocked and alone!
Most people will leave the default settings on which is to allow Siri to work even when locked :) So it's going to be fun every time!
I don't have the 4S yet, but I would love for SIRI to sound a lot more sexier than she does now. Sheesh....the girl that announces bus stops where I live in Vancouver sounds sexier.
thats funny... the first thing i told siri to do was to call me master...
scroll to the bottom of the contact and add a field.
You aren't alone. I have the same issue.
My phone seems to sort by phonetic spelling, so when I tried to tell it "pronounce my last name like catski" it filed me under 'C'. Some users might want to beware of that.
Apparently, the phonetic first/last name only works for YOUR contact. So if Siri is mispronouncing one of your contacts and you add the phonetic first/last name, it still pronounces it the same.
Great job in the detail of your instructions, but Siri mispronounces my surname despite me trying various combinations of phonetic spellings of my name in the phonetic spelling box in the contact area. If I spell it phonetically as the person's surname, she gets it right. i.e. Siri isn''t using phonetic spelling to pronounce names (at least not on my phone). Any suggestions?
It worked! She calls me by my Rider (motorcycle) name....Queen;-)
Siri now calls me sex god it's as though she knows me
Mr Wonderful.
when i tell Siri to call me by my name (Johnny), she does but then puts the nickname under my sisters's contact info... any ideas???
when i tell Siri to call me by my name (Johnny), she does but then puts the nickname under my sisters's contact info... any ideas???
I must be missing something...I have attempted to get Siri to call me by my nickname and all I get is : "I can't make changes to your contacts. You can do it in the contacts app, though." Help!
Today I told Siri "Open the pod bay doors." try that.
That was hillarios... Siri really gets offended!
Siri now calls me Bitch Face.
That is very attention-grabbing, You're an excessively skilled blogger. I have joined your rss feed and look ahead to seeking extra of your excellent post. Also, I have shared your website in my social networks
I have an very odd name in my family. It is spelled Michela (MACHELLA is how it sounds) But when I say "Text Michela" It enters "Machella" into a message and asks who I would like to send it to. I tried entering MACHELLA as the phoenetic first name, but that does not work. Sometimes she gets it right, but pronounces her name Mikayla. HELP
You can spell out the name to get Siri to text or call the right person. My sister has an odd name that Siri can not understand when I say, but when I spell her name Siri can pronounce it the correct way.
I can not get Siri to pronounce my name correctly- She calls me Carolyn even though my name is spelled Caroline!
I tried viewing your site on my iphone and the format does not seem to be correct.
I don't have an iPod touch yet (glad I held off) but I've been noticing a severe drop in the quality of LCDs used in Apple products lately.
I put my name as - if you kno what i mean! Bloody halirious!!!
Siri calls me "My Queen"...
Terrific work! That is the kind of info that are supposed to be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for now not positioning this publish upper! Come on over and discuss with my web site . Thanks =)

The Vampire Diaries
Vampire Diaries' Steven R. McQueen Thanks Fans After Jeremy [Spoiler]
Warning! Spoilers for The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 14, "Down the Rabbit Hole."
Our Valentine's Day turned into a sobbing mess last night — but not for the usual reasons. It was a combination of the cure-hungry Katherine (Nina Dobrev), a bloodthirsty Silas, and an innocent Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen).
The immortal witch was presented with Jer as a tasty snack by Katherine so she could grab the cure and run. Silas went further than that — snapping the hunter's neck at the very end of the episode.
We've seen this happen to Jeremy before, but now that he's a member of the Five, it's not clear if his ring will work this time. In the promo for Season 4, Episode 15, "Stand by Me," Elena (Nina Dobrev) seems determined to save her little bro.
It's not clear whether we'll see Steven R. McQueen, but he was getting a lot of love from devastated fans on Twitter. He tweeted his appreciation.
Thank you all for the love ; )— Steven McQueen (@McQueeninchains) February 15, 2013
We just hope that isn't the last we hear from him!

Time has an interesting article about Google called Google's Growing Grasp. One interesting scoop is that: "Marissa Mayer, who manages search products, says the company has assigned more engineers to search than ever before and plans to release a new search tool that will enable users to design and build their own flavor of Google search, scanning just the sites they're interested in."
This seems related to the new domains recently bought by Google: search-mashups.com, mashsearch.com and other similar domains.
MSN Search (Windows Live Search) already has search macros, that allow you to define a list of sites where you'd like to search (for example, sites about recipes). Rollyo lets you define a list of trusted sources and create your own search engine using results from Yahoo.
So we should expect a similar offering from Google, that will most likely include a way to share your search mashups that combine content from more than one source. Until then you can already do that, albeit not in an elegant way.

BBC iPlayer app to go international, for less than $10 a month
The BBC iPlayer iPad app is set to launch on the international stage later this year and as we already knew, would command a monthly subscription fee. The fee according to Director General Mark Thompson will be a small number of dollars a month, definitely fewer than 10. The international app will give subscribers access to the BBC archive of television programs.
Speaking at the FT Digital Media and Broadcasting conference in London, Thompson added that the BBC was exploring internationally, what the right pricing models are. The most important thing is that the consumer pricing is right. He also added that the iPlayers international launch would allow the BBC to sell content directly to consumers without shows being rebranded or reformatted by international broadcasters.
The question is, would you be willing to pay a monthly subscription to view Top Gear, Eastenders or any of the other great BBC programs? Let us know in the comments!

BBC iPlayer app to go international, for less than $10 a month
I agree - BBC America is just not cutting it. I want the up to date content available in the UK and am willing to pay for it.
Would also be nice if they cut a deal with other content providers to provide channel4 and ITV content a well.
Most definitely!
Moving to Canada soon, so I was dreading the loss of iPlayer. For me the BBC produce some of the most incredible documentaries (Blue Planet, Human planet, Planet Earth, Horizon, Wonders of the Solar system and so on), and some of the best comedy, the drama on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired.
No BBC, isn't the same as the Channel4 company. We haven't even got Channel4 on our iPhones, or iPads here! Sorry.
I think I speak on behalf of most Brits, when I say..."Can we have Hulu or Netflix in return please?"
I'm an Englishman living in Moscow, and apart from good beer I miss my British TV. I was very excited when iPlayer was released, and very sad when i found it was for UK users only. I will be more than happy to pay $25 per month ))
George Lim .....please don't attempt to talk on behalf of Brits when you are obviously not one mate.....
Not a Brit? Based on what? His name?
Did you really say that in 2011?
As someone who once was an expat I can sympathise with the desires of those who want BBC programs outside of the UK. I could even imagine using it on holiday. But with 'the unique way that the BBC is funded' I'd want to know what this does for licence payers.

Trumbull News Detail
Team of KSU Students is a Finalist for 2015 Prague Quadrennial ExhibitionPosted Mar. 1, 2013
A team of Kent State theatre students is one of 10 finalists in the contest to design the United States National Exhibit for the 2015 Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design. Designs for an architectural and sculptural space with the theme "Art in Performance Design: Dreams of Here and Now" were accepted through February 8.
The design created by Team Kent will be exhibited among the other nine finalists at the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT) Annual Conference in Milwaukee in March 2013. Following the exhibition at the USITT Annual Conference, the overall winning design will be notified April 20.
The winning design will be exhibited at the Prague Quadrennial, the largest performance design event in the world. The Prague Quadrennial serves as a unique opportunity for designers, artists, directors, and students from all around the world to meet and exchange ideas every four years.
A team of seven graduate and undergraduate theatre students and one faculty member created the Team Kent entry for the United States National Exhibit design competition as part of the Design Studio: Scenery course in the School of Theatre and Dance. Associate professor of theatre and professor of the course Raynette Smith said the students had the option to just submit a design for a grade, but the students decided to fully pursue the opportunity.
"Since the exhibit designs for the Prague Quadrennial have traditionally been famous designers, and because the adjucators for the competition were world-renowned theatre artists, it took some courage on the students' part to actually submit a design," Smith said. "They are really excited to have made it through the first round of judging."
The following students collaborated on the exhibition design submission: lighting design graduate student Cynthia Hoffman, scenic design and technology graduate student Ryan Patterson, lighting design graduate student B. Nicole Rosecrans, scenic design graduate student Benjamin Williams, BFA scenic design student Candice Nemoff, BA student Eric Preston and BFA lighting design student Carly Shiner.
The students' response to the contest's "Dreams of Here and Now" theme centers on the United States' current financial instability and uncertainty. Drawing from the disparities between the economic top and bottom, Team Kent addressed the changes financial struggle has caused to the American Dream.
"In our exhibit design we have dissected American society by looking at the grand and the plain, the crassly materialistic and the substantial," Team Kent wrote in its submitted design concept statement.
Submissions were judged by the 2015 National Exhibit Curators Tony Walton, Carrie Robbins, and Kevin Rigdon and Artistic Director Marketa Fantova.

Everyone taking the obvious picks. I'm surprised no one has picked Lindland, Kimo, or Waterman yet. I picked Waterman, and I wouldn't be shocked at all if Kimo or Lindland won their fights as I described, even though I'm picking Bas and Rampage.
the ricco waterman fight is a pickum. waterman already has a win over ricco and he used his lay and pray to do it. i wouldnt be suprised if he does it again this time even easier if ricco is even more out of shape. hopefully he actually trained for this fight. if he did it will be a little diff. kimo isnt good and bas knows all the tricks. bas will come in in shape and should sub kimo with a leg lock of some sort. i think rampage will be to strong for lindland and either gnp or KO him on the feet.

"Kimo's liver already hurts just thinking about Bas"
"How bad is the blood between Bas and Kimo?"
Not that bad. The two never had problems until the rumor came out that Bas was interested in returning, and wanting to fight Kimo. Kimo felt slighted like "ok he'll come back but only if he can fight me because 'i'm so easy to beat'". Apparently the two got talking about it and according to a Bas interview there's certain kinds of people who set him off, and Kimo is just one of those people. The way he was talking to him, his attitude, he said he really didn't like him. So if nothing else it'll help Bas and Kimo train hard, it'll help with the hype for the fight - which helps the success of the WFA show overall, and if the bad blood is still there when the bell rings it'll add to the excitement of the fight.

LASuxs, I'm damn close to your predictions. I wanted to badly pick Lindland by TKO or decision, but I just couldn't when push came to shove. I really EXPECT Lindland to win, but I'm PREDICTING Rampage will.
The rest of your predictions are exactly like mine.
By the way, just talked to the WFA media guy - apparently we'll have some sort of exclusive video content that proves the Bas/Kimo feud is a lot more intense than people realize. According to him, those two hate each other a lot worse than we (the media) is making it out to be. So keep an eye out for that, we should have that stuff soon.

Weekend Cooking: The Sweet Life in Paris
by David Lebovitz
Published by Broadway Books
copyright 2009
rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I went the to the bookstore the other night with absolutely no intention of buying. The last thing I need is to bring another book into this house when I have literally shelves of books unread. But in browsing the front tables I was initially drawn to the title of this book because...well....my mind is rather preoccupied with this topic lately. I briefly skimmed the book and decided that it would be a good "research" book for my upcoming trip (I can rationalize just about anything under the guise of "research")
Anyway, I came home, started reading, and have not been able to put it down and while it has provided me with useful information prior to my adventure, I also know that I will re-read this book when I return with the hopes of recreating the taste of Paris by trying a few of the authentic French recipes.
Each chapter is divided into two separate parts: one discusses some aspect of the Parisian culture that an American living there might find useful, such as....Parisians use a knife and fork to eat just about EVERYTHING and they rarely use their fingers (even when eating a banana). Parisian shop owners would like to be treated with a bit of respect - a simple Bonjour Madame upon entering the store and an Au Revoir Monsieur upon leaving is just common courtesy as far as they are concerned. And when ordering in a cafe, never order cafe au lait (apparently that is only served in the home - never in public) but rather order a cafe creme.
avid Lebovitz for further Parisian reviews). It makes for a very pleasant read and even if you have no plans to live in Paris yourself, you may enjoy this literary escape to the culinary capital of the world. For those participating in the Paris in July challenge, I think this would be an excellent choice.
There are numerous recipes that I wish to try when I return - many are dessert-type recipes such as Chocolate Macaroons, Dulce de Leche Brownies, and Salted Butter Caramel Sauce --- but there are also several savory dishes that have piqued my interest such as Tomato and Sourdough Bread Salad, Braised Turkey in Beaujolais Nouveau with Prunes, and Bacon and Bleu Cheese Cake. Perhaps in the fall I can review a few of these for future segments of Weekend Cooking.
Until that time.....Bon Appetit!

Ha Molly, I had to love out loud when I read your review. Yes, we weird Germans use fork and knife as well, although we still eat bananas like the monkeys (with our hands). I remember being pretty appalled in the beginning that even in restaurants people here eat with their fingers. By now I do it myself... oh my table manners are going down the drain. And the greeting when you enter and leaving a store just goes without question - same in Germany, probably all over Europe. I actually like this little sign of courtesy.

Oh, I was rather surprised about the cafe au lait statement - never happened to me. Anymay, I put that book on my list, will look at the library for it. It sounds like a really good read.
It sure was a "sign" that you found it right now...

Sounds like an interesting book. I think with any city that gets a lot of tourists, the locals get a bit fed up with them. I'm sure no one would take offense to you eating fruit with your hands (I bet they don't cut up bananas in the privacy of their own homes).
Some of those recipes sound delicious but I'm not sure about bacon and blue cheese cake. Bleurgh!

But of course you needed to have the book for research! It sounds so interesting though -- and Lebovitz is a great writer. Who knew you were to eat your banana with a knife and fork?

I love Paris too, and have been doing quite a few Paris in July activities. How fantastic to be looking forward to a trip! I've been reading David Lebovitz's blog for a while now, but haven't read any of his books. This is the one that I'm eyeing off first. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

What I have learned about the machines at Walgreens and CVS?? They are crappola and will make you sit and wait for hours in the L&D. Took Abbie to gymnastics tonight. Started having this horrid headache. I assumed my BP was up so I left to run up and check it. 160/105. Scared the heck out of me. Along with this, I go back to gymnastics class to wait to the 10 min until its over. GO to the potty and see light pink on the TP. Then to come a clear mucous discharge. Went to the hospital to learn that I had LOW BP! 123/60, 112/50.... PIH labs good, baby was VERY reactive tonight, as oppose to most of the time! YEAH!!!! YES, they are making me do the dreaded 24 hr urine again! UGGHHHHH! AND I have lost my mucous plug!!!!! AT 32.5 weeks?!?!?! Guess anything is possible?! My OB told me not to take my BP there again! lol She said she gets TONS of high readings there. Partly because the cuff is not adjustable. Partly because of the abuse of the machine. Makes sense to me. Just thought I would share with you all!

FORT WAYNE — Eleven Whitley County wrestlers qualified for the Fort Wayne Semi-State tournament, and for all but one of them, the opportunity to advance to the State Finals at Banker's Life Fieldhouse came to an end.
Churubusco senior Jason Nicodemus took third place in the 220-pound weight class to advance to next weekends' state finals.
In a semifinal that matched two unbeaten wrestlers, Kokomo junior Fletcher Miller (47-0) scored an early takedown and went on to score a pinfall win over Nicodemus (27-0) in 1:47.
Miller went on to take the weight-class championship, while Nicodemus faced Carroll's Brad Sadilek in the third-place match. After taking a 5-1 lead at the end of the second period, Nicodemus went on to post a 10-1 win to take third place.
For another Churubusco wrestler, the opportunity ended earlier in the week during practice when senior wrestler Brian Richardson broke his ankle, ending his hopes for a state finals appearance.
Chase Downing and Brandon Wormcastle both fell in the first round, with Wormcstle losing to Norwell's Grahm Smith by fall, and Downing dropping a 10-2 decision to fourth-place finisher Brett Martz from Fairfield at 126 pounds.
Whitko's Greg Newman took 6th place at 113 pounds. Lane Wolf fell in the first round of the 120-pound competition to Fairfield's Forrest Glogouski by pin in 3:55. Senior Colton LeTourneau lost by pinfall to eventual 132-pound weight class champion Dalton Bayslinger of Yorktown in the first round.
The Wildcats' Kuyler Bailey ran into weight-class champion Eli Walker of Yorktown in the opening round and fell by pin in 1:38.
Columbia City advanced two of its three qualifiers out of the first round, with the third losing in the last seconds.
Freshman Hunter Langeloh faced 33-4 Blake Glogouski of Fairfield in the quarterfinals and fell by pinfall late in the first period. Langeloh lost to Scotty Huff from Goshen in the consolation round.
In the quarterfinals, senior Alan Trabert went up against Rhett Heistand. The Yorktown junior and eventual weight-class winner scored a 15-0 technical fall in the third period, sending Trabert to the consolation round. Trabert lost 9-3 to Peru's Kaleb Hammerley to end his season.
Russell Hazelet, fell in the opening round to eventual fourth-place finisher Myron Howard of Yorktown 5-4.

The reason I cut it at 1.700 is that is the length that the 44 Ballard Extra Long is cut at before opening it up. It's based on the .220 Swift, but should be close enough to get a safe starting load. Plus it left some OAL room for different bullets in the AK mag.
A .41 or .357 would be a good choice too. I just grabbed a .44 bullet because I had them on hand.

Herd holds off Rice
HUNTINGTON — Dre Kane's only basket Wednesday night was so big it could have counted for more than two points.
Kane recorded career lows for field goals and attempts in a 1-for-3 shooting performance, but the junior's three-point play with 34 seconds to go was huge for Marshall University in a 71-70 men's basketball defeat of Rice in Cam Henderson Center. The attendance was listed at 5,308.
D.D. Scarver's equally important 3-point shot on a feed from Kane put Marshall ahead, 67-63, with 1:25 remaining in a tight contest that featured 11 ties and 21 lead changes and nobody getting more than a five-point advantage. Keith Washington of the Owls worked in the lane for a scoop shot that cut the margin to two with 1:04 left.
Rice, which played a zone defense for most of the game, went man-to-man and Kane attacked with a pass from Nigel Spikes and around a screen set by the Thundering Herd center.
Kane was fouled on a driving layup and made the free throw that gave Marshall a 70-65 cushion.
"That was the first time they ran man against us and Nigel gave me a good pass," Kane said.
Marshall moved to 11-14 for the season and at 4-6 is tied for seventh place in Conference USA with Tulane and Houston. Rice (5-19, 1-9) fell deeper into last place.
The Herd ended a losing skid at two games with No. 22 Memphis (21-3, 10-0) coming to town for an 8 p.m., Saturday, contest. Memphis logged its 15th consecutive victory Wednesday at home in FedExForum against UCF, 93-71.
Marshall head coach Tom Herrion said Kane's three-point conversion was on a play he likes to use against man-to-man defense, but wouldn't have worked if Rice was still in the zone.
"Nigel did a great job with the screen, he is so good at that, and of course Kane finishing and making the free throw was big for us," Herrion said.
Washington sank two free throws for the Owls and Eli Pittman made one for the Herd, leaving Marshall ahead, 71-67, with 21 seconds remaining.
Julian DeBose banked in a 3-point shot for Rice with one second left. Marshall put the ball in play against Rice pressure to Kane, who tossed it high in the air while time ran out.
Kane played for the full 40 minutes for the fourth consecutive game.
Marshall's all-conference guard averaging 14.8 points per game finished with just five while also contributing 10 assists and four rebounds.
"(Other) guys were making shots," Kane said. "I wanted to get everyone touches, get them easy points. When my shot comes, I'll take it."
He didn't need to shoot Wednesday.
Forward Elijah Pittman scored 22, Scarver followed with 17, Dennis Tinnon added 11 and Spikes had 10 as Marshall turned in its fourth 50 percent field goal accuracy mark of the season (51.1).
Scarver rang up four 3-pointers and Pittman made three.
Marshall also made 18 of 28 foul shots, including going 11 of 15 in the second half and 10 of 11 in the final 8:47. Spikes, a 48.9 percent free throw shooter, was 6-for-8 and Kane (45.9 percent) was 3-for-3.
The Herd also stopped its streak of being outrebounded at four games with a 31-25 edge on the shorter Owls. Tinnon led with seven rebounds, Pittman got six and Spikes snagged six.
"Obviously, we needed a taste of victory," Herrion said. "Now we face a tremendous challenge with a Top 25 team Memphis coming in."
Rice came to play despite its season-long struggles and didn't go down easily.
Owls head coach Ben Braun, who has more than 600 career wins at Rice, California, Eastern Michigan and Siena Heights (NAIA), said playing almost exclusively zone helped neutralize a much bigger Marshall team.
Braun said his team put up a good fight.
"We did some things that I think kept Marshall at bay, but in the end their size advantage was a factor," he said.
Tamir Jackson, a 1,500-point career scorer, led the Owls with 16 and Austin Ranljak added 15. Freshman point guard Max Guercy had 12 while Washington and Julian DeBose both netted 10.
Ramjlak had seven rebounds.

Google Docs Adds Subfolders
Even if the interface doesn't completely reflect this change, you can now create subfolders to organize your files in Google Docs. To do that, go to one of the existing folders, click on New and select Folder from the drop-down. Alternatively, you can use the contextual menu.
Google choose an interesting way to visualize the hierarchy: folders can be expanded inline by clicking on the small arrow placed in front of their names. The left sidebar doesn't show any subfolder, but this is probably a flaw that will be fixed soon.
The folders from Google Docs continue to also act as labels, even if it's more difficult to treat them this way and the language used in the UI doesn't help too much. To add a file to a new folder you need to click on "Move to", select the folder and then click on "Add to folder".

What's On the Back Bar at The French Laundry?
For more than 18 years, Thomas Keller's acclaimed French Laundry in Yountville, CA did just fine without a spirits program.

But after a quiet launch in February, this May they officially announced their first forays into hard alcohol, focusing on a library of super-rare bottles. More

Basketball event to benefit cancer food bankWritten by Morgan Delp | | email@example.com
SouthernCare Inc. will host a three-on-three basketball tournament on June 9 to raise proceeds for Nightingales Harvest, a nonprofit organization that provides food and hygiene items for families affected by cancer. SouthernCare, Inc. is the Toledo-area affiliate of the national corporation that provides hospice services to those with cancer.
Corey Stewart, whose mother works for SouthernCare and whose grandmother has been diagnosed with cancer, designed, organized and promoted the event, which is scheduled to begin at noon at Tam-O-Shanter in Sylvania. Stewart said his passion for the game and dedication to cancer awareness fueled the idea.
"I love basketball and I'm passionate about it," Stewart said. "Sports are a big part of the community so I thought, why not put two and two together? Everyone can have a good time and talk about [hospice]."
Representatives from SouthernCare Inc. and Nightingales Harvest will be present to provide information on hospice, Stewart said.
"The main goal is to make people aware of hospice, that's why we're hooping," Stewart said. "People know about cancer but they don't know about what hospice truly is. Some people hear hospice and think death and that's not true."
Stewart's goal is to have 20 teams compete in the inaugural event, which would raise $2,000 for the food bank, which was launched in April 2011, according to the website, nightingalesharvest.org. All ages of both genders were invited to register for the "fun and competitive" tournament before the June 3 deadline, Stewart said.
In addition to the actual tournament, the day's festivities will include a DJ, 50/50 raffle, food and prizes.
"There is something for the whole family, something fun and safe to come to. It's just a good environment," Stewart said.
For more information about the event, visit hoopingfortoledohospice.org.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II
A bit more food for thought…
"Only one sin is nowadays severely punished: the attentive observance of the traditions of our Fathers. For that reason the good ones are thrown out of their places and brought to the desert."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis

South Walton firefighter Danny Margagliano remembers jumping off the tower of a friend's boat last year in the Destin harbor. He remembers being loaded onto the Coast Guard vessel, unable to move. That is the last thing he remembers before he woke up in a hospital in Atlanta, six weeks later, paralyzed.
I didn't know Danny then. I donated to the charity set up to help him, Donations 4 Danny, thinking that was all I could do. I never imagined how our lives would cross months later.
One thing's for sure, organizing a running race is completely different from participating in one. There are a million necessities to worry about: Porta Potties, T-shirts, post-race food, volunteers, runner safety, course markings … the list goes on and on.
Karen Meadows, local USA Track and Field and USAT triathlon coach, was the force behind starting the race, and thus became our race director. Soon, Craig Baranowski, president of Hammer Down Multisport, the region's premiere triathlon club, joined the effort, with Hammer Down serving as the host for the race.
Our combined experience as athletes made all the difference in organizing the race. The goal was to make this an amazing event that would continue to grow for years to come.
For three months, Danny went through rigorous physical therapy at Shepherd Hospital, working to improve his mobility. It was a strenuous journey, but slowly, he was regaining some range of movement. Going back home was the real challenge. There were constant setbacks. Danny was back at work as a real estate agent, but finances were too tight to afford all the renovations and care he required.
Karen, Craig, and I set a goal of 200 participants for our inaugural event. Surprisingly, we had 500 registered within the first four weeks registration opened.
It was Craig who asked the team to make Donations 4 Danny our beneficiary. As Danny's longtime friend, he knew Danny needed help to renovate his home to make it wheelchair accessible.
Eventually, we had to cut registration off for race course safety reasons. We sold out with 800 participants.
On race day, few people at the race understood what it took for Danny and his daughter to cross the 1 mile run finish line. For 2-year-old Summer, it was certainly a long way to walk. The bumpy road and cold temperatures were rough on them both. However, Danny and Summer cherish the memory – it was the first physical activity they shared since the accident. Summer keeps a photo from the race by her bed.
The $18,000 raised from the inaugural 30A 10K went a long way toward helping renovate Danny's home. But it was the experience that made the biggest difference. "I can't wait to do it again this year with Summer and my son, Ethan," he said.
This year, the 30A10K will expand to 2,000 participants and hopes to double its fundraising totals. With this growth, the race has chosen to support three local charities as the beneficiaries of this year's proceeds:
· Donations 4 Danny
· Lighthouse Family Retreat, which serves 200-plus families of children with cancer from around the country with 14 retreats to 30A communities. The retreats include counseling assistance to the families, as well as fun activities for the children.
· Food for Thought, which provides backpacks with easy-to-make meals to kids at risk of going hungry.
Because of the local businesses that generously donate as sponsors and the local 30A community who volunteer and run the race, the 30A 10K continues to thrive. We hope the race will become a long-standing tradition in our community by promoting health, thankfulness, and togetherness during the holiday season.
To register for the upcoming 30A 10K on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, visit www.30A10K.com. Register before Sept. 1 for early registration rates of $45 for the 10K and $20 for the 1 Mile Fun Run.

Eric Barnes, a 2004 South Aiken High School graduate, has been named the new head men's soccer coach at Niagara University.
Barnes came to NU as an assistant coach this past season and takes over the head coaching position after Chase Brooks accepted the same position at Duquesne University. In his first year at Niagara as an assistant coach, Barnes helped the Purple Eagles earn their first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference title and a trip to the NCAA tournament in the program's 43-year history.
Barnes, who possesses an NSCAA Premier Diploma and an NSCAA Advanced National Goalkeeping Diploma, came to NU from the University of Pittsburgh where he served as the men's soccer assistant coach from 2009-11.
Barnes is a graduate George Mason University, where he played collegiately for two years while obtaining his bachelor's degree in health, fitness and recreation resources with a concentration in sport management. He then played two years at Pittsburgh while earning his Juris Doctorate.
His efforts on and off the field earned him the Martin Dunphy Goalkeeper of the Year Award, as well as the Colonial Athletic Association Commissioner's Academic Award, National dean's list and Athletic Director's Honor Roll honors.
Barnes also played professionally for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds (USL-2) during the 2009 season and for the Carolina Dynamo (PDL-USL Premier Development league) in 2007.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by katieh Perfection :) This is the cutest layering top! The lace is soft and stretchy, but retains its shape nicely. I chose the black in a large and it looked so darn cute. The fit is close to the body, but not overly tight. If you are between sizes, size down because the fabric really is soft and comfy. As for the shoulders, if you have narrow shoulders you will get a more off the shoulder look.. Don't worry because it looks super cute that way too. If you have narrow shoulders, size down if possible. I layered mine over the Limited Edition Gianna Dress and it looked amazing! This looks sooo cute under the denim bustier dress too! This piece is versatile, flattering, comfortable. and useful. Great, especially for the price! 2.13.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Emmanate Cute layering piece This top is soft and adorable. It is great for wearing under big sweaters that fall off the shoulder (it hides your bra strap and adds a feminine touch). I usually wear a small in FP, but got this in a med and it fits perfectly. The small was a little too tight in the chest. 12.19.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by natasharm One size large I usually wear a L bandeau from Free People but the Medium in this fits and is not tight at all. I would recommend sizing down it is very stretchy! 11.20.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bee1234 STUNNING! This is my first purchase from Free People and I must say that i fell in love with this crop top the moment I put it on. I bought the white one and it looks absolutely stunning for summer. The material is so delicate and beautifully crafted. Falling in love with this piece makes me want to purchase from this site again! 6.22.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by akaykay BUY IT I absolutely recommend this crop top! I bought a size S in fuschia at the Free People store in New Orleans. The lace is very soft, and the top itself is very short so it has to be worn with highwaisted bottoms. It's adorable by itself also for layering under other tops or sweaters. So flattering! It is definitely worth the cost. The whole top is sheer, except for the chest area, which allows you to wear a bra or sticky cups (because the back is sheer). I'm a 32D and don't have any problems with the fit in the chest. It fits snug, but it's perfect. Def recommend this! 8.8.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SouthpawCanada Hits the right length - very flattering This item was such a pleasant surprise for me. I was expecting this to be more of an intimate wear type item, and even though I have rockin' abs I am really self-conscious in revealing any torso. This shirt solved that for me, it hits the right spot at high waist to look like a top (not a bra) and covers enough shoulder to be innocent. While I wouldn't wear it to work, I would wear it out to the patio, beach, camping, BBQs or whatever casual event. I love how soft it is and it is not very sheer. If I have a chest larger than B cup however I would feel really uncomfortable wearing it and I don't know if it would be as flattering - even a strapless bra really shows underneath. 7.17.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FoxIceCream Beautiful I bought this crop in a medium, It's a bit loose around my ribs but other than that it fits perfectly. Well worth the price, one of the most beautiful tops I own. 6.28.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cathyymercado gorgeous! I love this top i got it in the mail today ordered it in black and, wow the fabric is so pretty and soft, different from any other type of lace if seen, very beautiful. Tried it on, even better!! runs true to size and it just looks soo pretty on the body, the scalloped details truly make it much more prettier and sits perfectly mid length. I would soo totally buy the other colors cause it is such a beautiful top, one of the best buys I've ever done! :) 5.30.2012

The Bachelorette
Trista And Ryan Sutter: A Televised Vow Renewal Could Be Their Future!
Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum's wedding was a star-studded affair, and in attendance? The OG King and Queen of The Bachelorette, Trista and Ryan Sutter. These two married in a magical wedding on December 6, 2003 (a great year for maxi denim skirts), which means their ten year anniversary is just 12 months away!
Just today, we were saying how great it would be if Tris and Ry celebrated their decade-long romance with a huge ABC anniversary special. Well, ask and you may receive! Ryan and Trista are thinking about renewing their vows to celebrate the big day. As Trista tells Parade , "there have been chats with some people about maybe doing something like a special of some kind." Excuse us while we die of happiness. "I'm not opposed to renewing our vows but all I want is a celebration."
A celebration? Do elaborate. "If it means a celebration at home with just us, that's great," Trista continues. "If that means a great big party with the Bachelor nation plus all of our friends and family, that's fabulous too, but who knows? We have a year so we've got some time."
We're crossing our fingers for the big Bachelor Nation love fest. Would you tune in to Trista and Ryan's vow renewal?
