Fergie, Josh Duhamel Having a Baby Boy!
UsWeeklyFergie will be outnumbered in her household when she gives birth to her first child with husband Josh Duhamel -- because the couple's baby-to-be is a boy! Duhamel, 40, revealed their baby's gender for the first time on a pre-taped episode of "Live! With Kelly and Michael" airing on Wednesday. As Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan held up pink and blue onesies in front of the "Safe Haven "star, he teased the audience, quipping, "What do you guys think, boy or girl?"PHOTOS: Fergie's baby bumpAfter some playful back and forth, Duhamel grabbed the blue option as the crowd cheered. Married to the Black Eyed Peas singer, 38, since 2009, Duhamel recently told ET Canada that the couple feels "ready" for parenthood. "I actually look forward to that."PHOTOS: Pregnant celebs"I plan on taking [off] as much time as I can just before and as much time as possible after," added the star. "I can't imagine having a kid and then not being able to be there. That would just drive me crazy. My head would be at home with mom and baby."PHOTOS: Their wedding albumFor her part, Fergie (who's planning on changing her legal name from Stacey Ferguson to Fergie Duhamel), has said her man has been "so nice and wonderful" during her pregnancy. "He sings and talks to my belly all the time. He's very complimentary. I'm very lucky that he's really good to me." Click through for plenty of pics of Fergie's growing baby bump ...© Microsoft

The summer — as do all summers — has blown by, the days growing shorter as they grow ever sweeter.
July seems interminable, then August arrives and the back-to-school sales start, and we're suddenly returning to The Routine. I hate routines.
The little guy finished summer school, then finished camp and now he's got the finest thing a 9-year-old could ever have: nothing to do.
"Do you think heaven," he wondered the other day, "has different sections for dogs and baseball players?"
"No," his mother said curtly.
Such idle time worries my wife, Posh. She insists that the only way today's kids will succeed is to be 100% busy and hyper-focused, because as she sees it, all of China is biting at their heels.
I argue that China would never specifically target our children. They're too argumentative. Besides, I say, the future belongs to those with big ideas, and kids need idle time to dream and wonder and conjure up big ideas.
Last I checked, neither side was budging.
Now I've found that most happiness begins with the mouth, so to make peace, I take them all out to eat, in one of the minivans — we now have two. I don't know quite how that happened, just that there are two minivans in the driveway. I told Posh we could take them out to the desert to race them, but she prefers that stretch of the 134 Freeway through Glendale.
As you may know, a minivan handles L.A.'s Euclidean angles better than any other vehicle, because when it comes upon a street corner it can't negotiate, it just nudges the curb, hydrant or junkie out of the way. In that sense, it really is the ultimate driving machine.
That makes a minivan ideal for snaking our way to Melrose Avenue, where the lovely and patient older daughter has spotted some all-you-can-eat-drink-barf Sunday evening crawfish deal.
"I'm in!" screams her younger sister Vi$a.
Next thing you know, we're in one of the minivans. Vi$a's friend Amanda is along, daughter of Ulf, whom you USC types may remember from his days on campus, where he once reportedly stole Rick Caruso's girlfriend. That's a story for another day, though Caruso confirms the incident, and Ulf has never lied to me. He simply "extends the truth."
Anyway, here I am on Melrose with my peeps — Posh, the little guy, Vi$a, Amanda, a table full of the older daughter's friends, all in their 20s, all of whom understand Kaskade (Is he a DJ? Is he a deity?), all of whom are fluent in what I call "the thumby arts," such as Instagram, which I haven't tried yet. But I really look forward to it.
"I'm in heaven!" screams the older daughter as she snaps a photo of a basket of steamy crawfish.
Let me explain the lowly crawfish. It is the village idiot of the seafood kingdom. It is a lobster without a publicist.
A crawfish is so simple and stupid it almost doesn't exist. Far as I can tell, it has no brains, but it does ooze a mustardy goo no one is quite sure about. Is that fatty deposits? Or is it the residue of Louisiana's offshore drilling?
In New Orleans, where we once resided/resode, crawfish are a cultural touchstone, a rallying point for friends and family.
There, they are heaped upon picnic tables after being boiled up with corn, potatoes and just about anything else (hotdogs, artichokes, maybe an old shoe or two).
Featherlike — lighter than even shrimp — crawfish can be consumed by the hundreds and still leave you half full. They are the most social item since beer or reefer. Or even Ulf.
Getting them is the problem. You don't see a lot of them along the bayous of Los Angeles. At our house, we order them flown in occasionally and boil them up in the same big stainless steel pots used to deep-fry turkey.
But at the Foundry restaurant on Sunday evenings, chef Eric Greenspan has been staging these $25 all-you-can-eat soirees, with a very good zydeco band and one of the most festive patio atmospheres around.
Sure, summer may be running out. But there are plenty of mud bugs and minivans left.
Just remember, most happiness begins with the mouth.

Bows to the left of me, bows to the right, here I am stuck.

Mais oui ... love the "bow" ... I am "bow" nuts myself .. lovely post .. xoReplyDelete
Have fun with your French girl friend... I see she likes to shop at Monoprix: that's where I found the t-shirt she is sporting on that photo where she is holding that Coke bottle. ;-) Great post. It's good to be reminded how much fun bows are... Bonne journée. VeroniqueReplyDelete
I feel like I have bows and also ruffles on lots of things these days--but Only a tiny touch in any one outfit, or it's too "frou-frou"for me. Fun. Have a good visit with FG. xoxoReplyDelete
I am such a bow girl.ReplyDelete
I only stopped wearing them in my hair a few years ago:)
Well all kidding aside.I would bow anything:)
Fun post, Carol.ReplyDelete
The only bow I ever wore was the one slung over my shoulder, back in the 1950s. I was always the Indian when my brothers and I played "Cowboys and Indians", in the woods.
Besides, they look so much sexier on you women, starting with French Girl.
I LOVE bows. I love the two shirts FG is wearing. I have never seen anything like that before. What another fun post. Hope you are or had fun.ReplyDelete
I have a few bows in my closet bought in a moment of insanity, but I never have the nerve to wear them..why is that?ReplyDelete
What a fun scavenger hunt!ReplyDelete
Je l'aime!
LOL - my Mark calls me Bowpeep! And I love your notion about the adoration of bows corresponding to endowment or lack thereof.ReplyDelete
A cyber bow for you!
Parisian bowpeep - I love it! (More so as a concept as anything to wear... unless you're one of those Hollister lads, pulling off a big bow on the body is tres difficile...)ReplyDelete
I also found a bow in one of Angelina's previous bûche de noël !! :)ReplyDelete
Absolutely correct RAIDS and I reported on it HERE but forgot :(ReplyDelete
LOVE his designs!!
merci carolg
It's so true: Parisiennes love anything girly and feminine and what better than to add a little bow to your headband or shoes to create a pretty Parisian look!ReplyDelete

This Christian Science Monitor article on the volunteers from other Arab countries who went to Iraq to fight in the war centers on an interview with a young Syrian who made his way to Baghdad just before the city fell. He was interviewed in a hospital, having been paralyzed in an exchange of fire with American troops. The Syrian says:
"I was shocked how easily Baghdad fell because I thought that Saddam Hussein could resist. The treason of the Republican Guard led to the collapse. I saw no Iraqi soldiers, except for the officers who told us where to go. All the fighting in Baghdad was by volunteers like me."

The Mora Watershed Alliance began the three-part study of the Mora Watershed Threats and Opportunities earlier this month. Edward A. Martinez, an associate professor at New Mexico Highlands University in the Department of Natural Resources, Watershed Management class were present. They will study the data collected and report their findings at the last class in May.
About 40 people participated in the study held at the Buena Vista Fire Department.

Newsworthy items pop up daily around here. With a good radio, two or three newspapers and a television, not much gets past us way up here in the mountains. Some of the news is exciting, to say the least.
Our beloved, sleeping Castañeda is about to awaken once again! I have so many fond memories of long-ago times spent at that grand hotel. A trip to town from our Valmora home was always an event, particularly for sweet brother bill and I in the 1940's.
The strong winds recently blew a barn down and scattered the parts all over. It is now just a pile of rubble as all of the pieces have been gathered up and put in a pile by some of the family.
They did not want the boards to destroy other property as they blew around in the strong winds.

My 1910 Webster's Dictionary defines weather as "a state of the atmosphere." I'd have to say that at the moment, we are in a heck of a state in this present atmosphere. We have experienced two of the driest months on record here at the Gascon reporting weather station, with no relief in sight.
TBA — Mora Rangerettes vs. winner of district, Mora

Those horrible winds continue to howl a I write this in mid February. I just discovered a news item in an old Albuquerque Journal. Los Alamos was the snowiest spot in the state in January 2001. We recorded 50 inches of snow, with a moisture content of 2.13 here at our Gascon station. Oh, for those good old days!
On Saturday, after district games between Mora Rangers and Rangerettes and Santa Fe Prep the Mora Rangerettes with their coaches, families and friends got together to celebrate and honor teams of 1985, 1987, 1988, 1991 and 1992. Five banners in their honor were hung from the rafters of the gym. These five teams made it through the finals but came up short of the win of the state championship.

John Habib's City Sports: High school hoops preseason jamboree finally a realityBy JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 25. 2013 9:41PM
For years, coaches Dave Keefe of Manchester's Trinity High School and Dave "Doc" Wheeler of Manchester Central hoped someone would establish a preseason basketball jamboree to showcase teams and players.
Their wish finally came true this year.
Spearheaded by former Alvirne High of Hudson coach Kevin Bonney, the first annual 16-team Coaches for a Cause Pre-Season Basketball Jamboree will take place at Alvirne Dec. 6 and 7.
On Day 1, Salem will play Windham at 5 p.m., Bishop Guertin of Nashua will meet Bishop Brady of Concord at 6:30, and Merrimack and Pelham will clash at 8.
The jamboree continues the next day at noon when Alvirne and Newport collide, followed by Spaulding of Rochester and Lebanon at 1:30 p.m., and Bedford and Portsmouth at 3.
The final two games feature Central and Conant of Jaffrey at 4:30 p.m., and defending Division I champion Trinity playing defending Division II champ Pembroke Academy at 6.
"This is outstanding on many fronts," said Wheeler. "It brings attention to our sport and rewards all the players who have worked hard during the offseason. I mean, this is a win-win situation for everyone involved and gives everyone a chance to see 16 teams before the start of the regular season."
Keefe said he believes this will become an annual event.
"Kevin Bonney deserves a great deal of credit for making this happen," said Keefe. "We sat around a table one night and talked about how neat it would be to schedule games between teams from different divisions. We also wanted to give something back to the community."
This year's proceeds will go to the New Horizons for New Hampshire soup kitchen, food pantry and shelters, Keefe said. Next year, jamboree organizers will choose a different charity.
The Trinity-Pembroke match-up will feature many outstanding players. Carmen Giampetruzzi, Ryan Otis and Wenyen Gabriel will lead the Pioneers against standout senior Patrick Welch, who has a chance of eclipsing the 2,000-career-point mark this season.
Central returnees Dawson Dickson, Brett Hanson and Mike Plentzas will be going up against Conant's standout duo of Rob O'Brien and Eli Hodgson.
"I've seen the two Conant kids play, and they're very good players," said Wheeler, adding that he'll probably fill up two notebooks scouting the seven other Division I schools in the jamboree.
Wheeler and Keefe said their jamboree game gives them a chance to play many of their players.
"We can try different combinations, mix and match players," said Keefe. "It gives us a chance to develop some chemistry."
Central opens the regular season at Trinity on Tuesday, Dec. 17.

TRINITY'S chapter of the National Honor Society is hosting the first Pioneer Dash 5K road race to benefit New Horizons, the New Hampshire Food Bank, St. Anthony's Food Pantry, the Salvation Army and the Wounded Warrior Project.
The race starts next Saturday at 1 p.m. at Derryfield Park. Entry fee is $25, with the first 150 registrants receiving a T-shirt. Registration may be done online at www.millenniumreg.com/the-pioneer-dash.
Also next Saturday, the Anthem Manchester Kids' Marathon takes place at Livingston Park, beginning at 10 a.m. Children ages 1 to 8 are eligible to participate in a free 1-mile run. All participants will receive a race T-shirt and finisher's medal. To register online, go to www.cityofmanchestermarathon.com.
The kids' race leads into the seventh annual Manchester City Marathon/Half Marathon and relay, which start the next day at 8:50 a.m.

SWIMMING pool campaigners are celebrating in anticipation of a £670,000 investment being allocated to their run down facility.
Tendring Council has been advised to agree the "radical investment" to Dovercourt Swimming Pool ahead of its Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, January 23.
A new ground floor unisex changing village and fitness room will be built if plans are passed. It is hoped the gym will move into the new fitness room.
If grant funding is achieved, extra cash will be made available for Walton and Brightlingsea pools.
Campaigners were outraged when Tendring Council decided to split a £700,000 cash pot, earmarked for Dovercourt, between Brightlingsea and Walton pools, too.
Harwich councillor Jo Henderson welcomed the new proposal.
"It is a shame it has taken four years to get to this but it is what we were asking for," she said.
"The current changing room is dire. The new village will be family friendly, the gym on the lower level will sort out the disabled access problems and also make it more accessible for people with health conditions."

It's quite possible that global cotton usage is in perpetual decline. During the mid-2000s, annual global consumption peaked at more than 120 million bales. The global recession certainly affected cotton demand, as it did for most every commodity, but cotton lost market share to synthetic fibers as well.
The estimates for burdensome global inventories continue to inch up every month. The April USDA crop report revised 2012-13 ending stocks up to 82.45 million bales, or 76.8%, up from the 76.3% March estimate. As illustrated above, that stockpile should continue to grow in 2013-14.
Sounds like a great short? There are several reasons why it is not. Cotton has regained some lost market share to synthetics over the past two marketing years. The growth spurt for synthetic fiber vis-à-vis cotton has likely plateaued. While this in itself does not account for an appreciable increase in cotton usage, and the recent jump in U.S. sales does not guarantee that demand will return to mid-2000 levels, it is commensurate with the world's slow climb out of recession.
Cotton usage could return to mid-decade levels. The evidence at the moment suggests that this is possible. We pointed out in our last article on cotton that despite the impression we get from headlines, China is not the only cotton customer. In notes accompanying a recent cotton report, the USDA points out that Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam are importing record volumes of cotton this marketing year.
Even if acreage benefits from corn switching, U.S. cotton acreage is at its lowest level since 2010, which could make the market vulnerable. The uncooperative planting weather has slowed down cotton seeding as well. As of the most recent planting progress report, only 17% of the crop had been planted, down from 35% last year at this time and still well below the five-year average of 27%. The same vulnerability applies to the other key producers.
In the meantime, cotton prices are hovering well above historical highs. We're still nursing a long-held long position with a stop at 77.5¢ per pound, basis December. Raise stops to 82.5¢, close only.

In the Reader to Reader article "How to Determine the Next Available Drive Letter When Z Is Already Mapped", Simon Zeltser provides a very handy script that determines and maps the next available drive to a network share of your choosing. Because the underlying engine is so useful, I incorporated its functionality in an HTML Application (HTA). By converting Simon's script into an HTA and by taking advantage of some optional arguments of the MapNetworkDrive method of the Windows Script Host's (WSH's) WshNetwork object, I was able to create a more flexible tool.
In his script, Simon used the MapNetworkDrive method of Windows Script Host's (WSH's) WshNetwork object to map a drive to a network share. When he called the MapNetworkDrive method, he used the method's two required arguments, which are the drive letter and the network share's path. The MapNetworkDrive method also has three optional arguments. One optional argument lets you specify whether you want to make the mapping persistent by storing it in the current user's profile. The other two optional arguments let you specify a user ID and password if you want to map a drive under alternate credentials.
For example, suppose you want to use alternate credentials to map the B drive to a shared folder named Tools on the UtilServer server and you want the mapping to persist. You could use code such as
Set drive = _ WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") drive.MapNetworkDrive B:, _ \\UtilServer\tools, True _ DomainName\ImaUser, [email protected]$$w0rd
In this code, the True argument specifies that you want a persistent mapping, DomainName\ImaUser represents the alternate user ID, and [email protected]$$w0rd is the password for that user.
After adapting Simon's code so I could create persistent mappings and use alternative credentials when needed, I incorporated it into the HTA. (The rest of Simon's code is virtually untouched, except for some error-checking code that I added.) You can download this HTA by clicking the Download the Code Here button at the top of the page. You don't need to customize the HTA at all before using it.
As Figure 1 shows, the HTA's GUI is straightforward and easy to use. If you want to use the credentials with which you logged on to create a nonpersistent mapping, you just enter the path to the network share in the format \\server\share in the top input field and click the MapIt button.
Figure 1: The HTA's GUI
To make the mapping persistent, simply select Yes in the Persistent drop-down box. When you make a mapping persistent, the network share will be mapped when you log on again, providing you have access and network connectivity to that share.
To create a mapping under alternate credentials, you need to enter the user ID and password of the alternate account. You must precede the username with either the domain or the server where the account resides. An example of this would be MyDomain\AltUserID.
As I mentioned previously, I made only a few changes to Simon's original code. Basically all I've done to enhance it is to allow the various MapNetworkDrive method arguments to be supplied through the HTA's GUI, which eliminated the need to hard-code arguments in the script and made for an application that's more flexible. My thanks and acknowledgement to Simon for his very useful code.

Sorry this is so late but it seems like we have been so busy. I don't know why because of all the snow we've had, nobody wants to go anywhere when it is cold, or blowing snow, or icy.
But you know what? We are having a good time at Westview. You should hear all the laughing at the coffee table in the morning while everyone waits for their mail. There are people in the dining room having a good time when I'm ready to go home.
Several things had to be cancelled because of the weather. What we hated the most was the Dike-New Hartford show choir was coming to entertain us, but they didn't have school that day. They put on a good show.
Otherwise we are doing our usual things like cards, bingo, exercises, book club, Janet's bible study, our once a month meal from The Shack, Truncks and Corner Cafe.
We had a valentine party and to everyone that bought us valentine cookies, they were delicious.
One afternoon we had victory donuts from the Fountain on Main and that brought back a lot of memories and good conversation.
Of course Sugar & Spice came to entertain us on the 25th and Mary Lou Moser and Kelly Dinsdale helped out with the supper.
Pastors Plocher, Love and Campbell came to Westview for the Ash Wednesday worship service. We had a good group for this.
Kelly decorated for us. She did Christmas which was beautiful, Valentines and now St. Patricks Day and Easter just around the corner. Also we are doing some redecorating and changing around here at Westview, so stop in and check us out.
Better get this to the Courier office because March is marching right along. Take care.

Blackhawks stay alive with wild double-OT win against Kings
Not here. Not now.
No way were the Chicago Blackhawks going to be eliminated on home ice.
Maybe that's why they brought fireworks and party hats their own funeral.
The defending Stanley Cup champions turned what many thought would be the death of their season into a celebration on Wednesday night, blowing the roof off of the United Center in a spectacular 82-minute slugfest with the Los Angeles Kings.
"We wanted to leave it all on the ice," said Chicago's Brandon Saad. "We didn't want our season to end."
It didn't.
In an incredible war of wills between a pair of National Hockey League superpowers, the Blackhawks posted a 5-4 double-overtime to force a Game 6 on Friday in Los Angeles.
And after this, who knows? They might even be back here for a Game 7 on Sunday.
"We know we have a lot of character in this room," said Chicago defenceman Duncan Keith. "You just have to stay positive, have faith in the team and one another and yourself.
"It's 3-2 now, we just have to win one more now. That's all we'll focus on: Going into L.A. and trying to win a hockey game."
It was a bitter defeat for the Kings, knowing they were one goal away from the Stanley Cup final. But they'll do the same thing Chicago does: Regroup and get ready for the next game.
"It is what it is," sighed L.A.'s Justin Williams.
"We knew what we were up against. We also know what's possible in the next two games. We're going home to try to win a game. Instead of being deflated, we're looking forward to it.''
If the next one or two are anything like Game 5, fasten your seat belts because this one was a beauty, with the teams trading goals like Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns traded punches in their epic battle at Caesars Palace all those years ago.
Chicago, Chicago, Los Angeles, Chicago, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, Chicago.
And, finally, the knockout — Michal Handzus at 2:04 in double-overtime, where there is no such thing as a counterpunch.
"I'm glad that I came through," said Handzus, who buried a nice backhand off the rush. "It was a great game, a lot of emotion. We put everything on the line. But it's only one game."
Maybe, but it might have been the best game of the playoffs.
"Probably the highest pace we've seen all year," said Chicago goalie Corey Crawford. "Overtime was crazy, too. It was loud in here. Probably the loudest it's been all year. Our crowd was cheering before whistles to get us going. It was a fun hockey game to play in, and even more fun to win."
And it's something the Hawks plan on using as a springboard for their comeback.
"A lot of momentum changes in the course of a game and in the course of a series," said Crawford.
"We have the momentum now and we have to keep it."
The Hawks got exactly what they wanted out of the first few minutes of the first period: A two-goal lead and all of the momentum.
Their struggling power play made it 1-0 on its first shot at 1:13, Johnny Oduya made it 2-0 at 3:30 and the Hawks were off to the races — not to mention Los Angeles for Game 6.
Not so fast.
These are the L.A. Kings, and the L.A. Kings don't scare easily.
When the Hawks went up 2-0, Jarret Stoll cut it to 2-1. When Brandon Saad made it 3-1 Hawks at 11:06, Marian Gaborik got it to 3-2 two minutes later.
And the Kings kept coming in the second. By the time the period was over, they had stolen momentum and the lead.
Dustin Brown tied it at 8:01 and Oduya's second of the night at 13:47 gave them the 4-3 lead after 40 minutes.
Then it was Chicago's turn to show its mettle, and it didn't take long.
Just 1:17 into the third period, it was tied again on Ben Smith's rebound goal.
"We had a good start, then they were able to battle back and get the lead, but we knew we weren't out of it," said Keith.
"We were right there. We stayed positive, we got one in the third and we were able to find a way in overtime."

Oct. 20 Mike Matheny workout day interview
Q. What is your plan for today with the guys? What have you told them about how to handle today, the off day?
MIKE MATHENY: We had just a few guys come in and needed to get some work or treatment. A few of them are staying on the program, playing catch and keeping their arms loose. But we let most of them go back to the hotel and take the day off.
Q. What is your plan for today with the guys? What have you told them about how to handle today, the off day?
MIKE MATHENY: We had just a few guys come in and needed to get some work or treatment. A few of them are staying on the program, playing catch and keeping their arms loose. But we let most of them go back to the hotel and take the day off.
Q. In your conversations with Beltran either last night or today how did he say his knee responded to yesterday's game?
MIKE MATHENY: He said it's pretty good. But he is one in here that is getting treatment. So we listen to how he feels and then what the trainers see. But right now it seems to be everything is good.
Q. Could you describe a little bit about what you saw from Vogelsong the last time and how beneficial it might be to come right back and face the guy this quick a turnaround?
MIKE MATHENY: Well, I don't know how beneficial it would be, since he did so well. The guys are going to have a pretty good idea if they watched closely what he was trying to do.
He executed. He's got good stuff. He's having a strong season and has been able to make adjustments. That's why he's had the kind of season he's had. Our guys are going to have to be more disciplined in their zone and not miss the mistakes. But he did make a whole lot last time. And we'll just kind of see what kind of adjustments our guys can make between the last start and tomorrow.
Q. First off, I don't know if you remember, you actually faced Ryan Vogelsong way back when. Do you have a memory of what kind of pitcher he was back then? What is your thought on how he's reinvented himself?
MIKE MATHENY: Generally I try to forget my at bats. There weren't very good memories there. And he is absolutely taken advantage of a new life here in San Francisco and has thrown the ball extremely well. So this is an opportunity for anybody to do something different. And whenever you get a new life and he comes over here with a Dave Righetti and Mark Gardner and seems to find his niche, but he's not going to probably do things much differently. He's going to want to do exactly what he did last time.
But he's got good stuff. And when he makes his pitches, it's going to be a tough day for us.
Q. Chris Carpenter remarked after Game 2 that he didn't feel like he has a good fastball. Is that something you have to watch tomorrow night closely in the early innings or do you feel even without that he can navigate that?
MIKE MATHENY: Yeah, he knows how to compete without his best stuff. But fastball command is where you start your game plan.
Same thing with Adam Wainwright. You saw his last game in Washington compared to the game we just saw him throw. He was able to command the plate with his fastball, which made his secondary pitches better. Chris Carpenter is along the same line. Every pitcher is. You also have a rare few that can compete when they don't have their whole arsenal, and Chris Carpenter is one of those.
But it's a different game when he's got his fastball and it's feeling good coming out of his hands and he can command it from both sides of the plate.
Q. Is there something pesky about these Giants or any similarities to the team you have in terms of they are a tough team to eliminate?
MIKE MATHENY: Yeah, and I don't necessarily see them as pesky as much as just talented. And the same kind of makeup that we have, they aren't going to go away and neither are we. And we knew that going into this thing. As soon as we won a couple of games at home there was nobody in there for a second under the belief that this was going to be a team that was going to just roll over.
So we know that this team has the ability to do what they did, once again, in Cincinnati, running in there and doing something that hasn't been done all season. They've got a good club. Very well rounded. They've got everything they need. It's just a matter of execution, and they executed better than us yesterday.
Q. Your bullpen makeup is quite different than it was back in April at the start of the season. I want to get your general thoughts on the evolution of that bullpen to this point.
MIKE MATHENY: It's huge for our club. We lost quite a few games between our starters and to the back end, the 8th and 9th inning. The addition of an Edward Mujica was a great addition for us to come in and throw a very good 7th. And being able to have a Joe Kelly who started for us but now fills in in the middle innings and a Trevor Rosenthal. Those guys have made a difference for us especially down the stretch. But those were some innings that we lost quite a few games through the season.
And the bullpen right now seems to be clicking pretty well. But it all begins and ends with our starting pitching, we know that. And hopefully we can lengthen them out a little bit and take a little pressure off the pen.
Q. What was your evaluation of Carpenter's start a couple of games ago? What did you think of him? Coming back from injury, obviously he's nowhere near the vintage Carpenter, but how would you assess the vintage Carpenter versus where he is now?
MIKE MATHENY: Well, we've seen some flashes of the vintage Carpenter. And I was very happy with what we saw, once again, in our playoff game in Washington. He had a very good mix of everything. Last game it looked to me like he was just competing. And he was trying to find some things that weren't naturally coming to him that day. He's been there, done that before. He's been there and done that with less than his best stuff. And won some big games.
We know Chris Carpenter is going to do something special every time he gets out there. Now if he has his good stuff it's going to be fun to watch.
Q. Will you allow Adam Wainwright to be available out of the bullpen for Game 6 or if there is a Game 7 as an option?
MIKE MATHENY: We're still talking about that, but nothing in stone right now.
Q. Games 1, 2 and 5, the bottom of their order really started their rallies. How difficult is that facing those three left handers in a row at the end of their batting order and do they create any special problems you haven't seen before?
MIKE MATHENY: Well, whenever you have an opportunity for your lineup, especially the last part of your lineup, to come through and be productive, usually good things are happening. Same thing happened with us, the games that we've done big things, seems like the bottom has really produced for us.
As far as being left handed, I believe in our staff being able to face lefties or righties and have equal success. They're just coming up in big opportunities and making it happen, that's really all there is to it. Just like you would look at a Descalso and a Kozma. And you could even add Freese as he's batting down the lineup a little bit. And if you think you can take a breath after 3, 4, 5, next thing you know these other guys come and get you, and that usually starts big innings, and that's exactly what's happened with the Giants.
Q. This is probably pretty self evident, but what kind of difference does Beltran make in your lineup and what were your impressions of him last night?
MIKE MATHENY: We obviously know that he's an impact player and has the ability to come into the postseason and make a dramatic difference. But him walking up there in his first at bat, getting on base, just putting together tough at bats. And he's got his reputation precedes him, too, he commands a lot of respect.
We love having him on the field and were a little concerned when we saw him go down and weren't exactly sure how long it would take. It's good to have him back, and we just need to keep him there.
Q. When you look at Wainwright and whether or not to use him in relief, is that question concerning his elbow and the return from Tommy John and the injuries or is it the series and what you might need him to do next?
MIKE MATHENY: No, I think it's just taking everything into account. You hate to ever push somebody, just like throwing a Carpenter on short rest. Every time you put a guy in a situation that's a little different than what he's used to and he's had some sort of extra issues, especially health issues, you're going to take more time in your decision.
So we're just going to watch him close and see where we are and make those decisions as we come. There's no rush right now.

Shaheen, Shea-Porter, Kuster call for assault weapons ban after Newtown shootingsBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
December 17. 2012 12:14PM
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Reps.-elect Carol Shea-Porter and Ann McLane Kuster called Monday for reinstatement of a federal assault weapons ban in the wake of last Friday's murderous rampage in Connecticut.
Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan stopped short of calling for a ban, saying the "proliferation" of such weapons should be "addressed."
Shea-Porter also said "high capacity clips" should be outlawed and "gun show loopholes" should be closed.
They also called for improvements in the state and nation's mental health systems and access to those systems.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, the lone Republican among the state's top elected leaders, would support a "thorough review" of laws related to gun ownership as well as mental illness, a spokesman said.
After the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and President Barack Obama's call for policy action, Shaheen, a Democrat and former New Hampshire governor, called for "comprehensive action," specifically including reinstatement of a 10-year assault weapons ban that expired in 2004.
"After a heartbroken weekend where the nation grieved with the families of Newtown, it's time for elected leaders to come together and determine what we can do to help end the culture of violence that is leading to these tragedies," she said.
"We need a comprehensive approach that includes improving access to mental health services, better enforcement of our current laws, and we need to get deadly assault weapons off our streets."
Shaheen had not previously called for an assault weapons ban. Her spokesman, Mark Gordon, said the Newtown tragedy "led her to a re-thinking of her position."
Ayotte spokesman Jeff Grappone said that while all Americans mourn and pray for the Newtown victims, Ayotte believes "denying the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens will not change the behavior of those intent on using firearms to commit horrific crimes."
Grappone said, however, Ayotte backs "a thorough review of our laws, including how we deal with mental illness, to determine what can be done to deter and prevent mass shootings."
Ayotte is a member of the National Rifle Association, Grappone said. She has received an "A" rating from the gun rights organization.
Shea-Porter, a Democratic former two-term House member who will return in January after being elected in November, said she plans to support legislation "that will establish responsible gun safety."
In an interview, she said she backs the federal ban on assault weapons and added, "I think we have to get rid of high-capacity clips.
"I also think we have to close loopholes for gun shows," Shea-Porter said.
"But we also need to educate people on mental illness and how to recognize the signs of it," she said.
"This is not about the NRA," said Shea-Porter. "We're talking about murder and mayhem and the steps we need to take to try to eliminate and certainly reduce it."
Noting that many members of Congress are parents, Shea-Porter said, "Surely we can stand together on this one."
Kuster said, "It's now long past time for members of both parties to come together to get serious about reducing gun violence.
"Like most Americans, I believe we can and must respect the Second Amendment while also doing more to protect our children, our families, and our communities," she said.
"I am eager to partner with law enforcement and members of Congress to pursue common sense reforms that keep guns out of the wrong hands, rid our streets of assault weapons, and keep our communities safe," she said.
Hassan said that "our most important job is to ensure the safety of our families and communities, and we must always be looking for ways to keep New Hampshire's children safe from harm.
"While we continue to learn more facts about the horrific tragedy in Connecticut, we owe it to those we've lost to come together and determine what can be done to make our communities safer and better, including improving our mental health system and addressing the proliferation of deadly assault weapons.
"I join with the people of New Hampshire and our entire country in grief, mourning and prayer," Hassan said.
Hassan did not say how she feels about a ban on semi-automatic weapons, which are commonly called "assault weapons." She also did not address other state gun laws.
Her spokesman, Marc Goldberg, said she believes "we need to come together to discuss how best to address the proliferation" of assault weapons.
In the past few days several federal lawmakers have called for an assault weapons ban, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Cal., who said she will introduce legislation early in the next Congress.
Retiring Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., has also called for reinstating the ban, and Monday, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a NRA member, called on Congress and the gun industry to work together on a "sensible, reasonable approach to curbing assault weapons.

Christmas came a little early for me this year when the folks from Flambeau invited me out to Kansas last week for a predator hunt. Flambeau's Tad Brown and Pro Staffers Todd Wilson and Tom Wilson (no relation) asked me to come out to northeastern Kansas to see if we could call in a few coyotes. And they delivered.
The action started early when we dropped a coyote on our second set up using Minaska's The Ultimate ONE electronic caller and Flambeau's Masters Series Lone Howler. That combination would prove deadly a couple more times on the trip as we dropped three coyotes on the three-and-a-half-day hunt and called in several more. If not for a missed shot on my part, some back-door dogs and a little misfortune, we could have easily doubled our total. But, as they say, that's hunting.
Keep an eye on future editions of Trapper & Predator Caller for more on the hunt.

Cats of Copenhagen
The Cats of Copenhagen was first written for James Joyce's most beloved audience, his only grandson, Stephen James Joyce, and sent in a letter dated September 5, 1936. Cats were clearly a common currency between Joyce and his grandson. In early August 1936, Joyce sent Stephen "a little cat filled with sweets"—a kind of Trojan cat meant to outwit grown-ups. A few weeks later, Joyce penned a letter from Copenhagen that begins "Alas! I cannot send you a Copenhagen cat because there are no cats in Copenhagen." The letter reveals the modernist master at his most playful, yet Joyce's Copenhagen has a keen, anti-authoritarian quality that transcends the mere whimsy of a children's story. Only recently rediscovered, this marks the inaugural U.S. publication of The Cats of Copenhagen, a treasure for readers of all ages. A rare addition to Joyce's known body of work, it is a joy to see this exquisite story in print at last.

Why not take some photos of the heads you're describing and upload them? It would help expand the knowledge base, especially as some products carried different names in different parts of the country.I know it's an old thread, but I just dealt with the exact same issue, and wish I had some of this information in advance. Those brass Nelson heads are attached to a 1/2" male thread adapter onto which you can screw a plastic head. The bottom of that adapter has the odd female thread size which you mention, and which can't be found at stores. That female thread screws onto a brass threaded riser, soldered into a copper T. You need to remove the adapter from the old sprinkler head, put a new head on top, and thread it back onto that riser.
So that adapter is like GOLD when you are trying to repair these! If you can reuse it, it's pretty easy to pop a new head on.
The metal threads on that adapter will however shred plastic sprinkler bodies easily. So you might want to take a metal pipe fitting and use it to clean up the adapter threads, so you cane hopefullt get a plastic body on without cross-threading. Or, first put a new piece of metal on that old brass adapter, then the plastic head. If the adapter is underground, and you try to thread plastic onto it, you will probably destroy the threads. Old sprinkler heads are great tools for cleaning those threads up so that you can actually thread plastic on.
If that brass riser breaks out of the copper pipe, you have to dig and either solder it back in (very difficult for me), or cut the pipe and use Shark Bite copper fittings to patch in a new tee.
Also, that old adapter can travel up and down that riser, and you can easily adjust the sprinkler hight. There is about 2" of travel on my system. So you don't have to tighten the brass adapter on the brass riser(!), you can leave at wherever height you want. It's really a clever system actually, if you need to raise or lower heads, you just spin the sprinkler head. Just be careful if it's really hard to spin the head, because you will break the solder joint of that the brass riser if you use too much force. Learned that the hard way...probably should have tried to spray oil on the joint, instead I got a big pair of channel locks, broke that solder joint, and created a lot more work for myself!

BEDMINSTER, N.J., and DUBLIN, Ireland, Nov. 26, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amarin Corporation plc (Nasdaq:AMRN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization and development of therapeutics to improve cardiovascular health, announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has published notification of Notice of Allowance for U.S. Patent Application Serial Number 13/610,247. This application includes claims intended to protect the Vascepa® (icosapent ethyl) indication approved in July 2012 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) based on Amarin's MARINE clinical trial results.
The '247 application is a continuation of Amarin's U.S. Patent Number 8,293,728 (formerly, the '153 application) and broadens the '728 claims by covering the use of Vascepa with and without other lipid lowering agents, such as statins. The '247 application claims gauge drug effects against a subject's own baseline and, alternatively, on a patient population basis. On November 19, 2012, Amarin announced notification of a Notice of Allowance for U.S. Patent Application Serial Number 13/608,775 which is also a continuation of the '728 application and also broadens the '728 claims by covering the use of Vascepa with and without other lipid lowering agents, but gauges Vascepa effects against placebo control.
A Notice of Allowance is issued after the USPTO makes a determination that a patent can be granted from an application. The issued patent would have a term that expires no earlier than in 2030. After issuance, Amarin plans to list this patent in the FDA's Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, or Orange Book.
"This Notice of Allowance builds on the recent allowance for U.S. Patent Application Serial Number 13/608,775, both of which cover the use of Vascepa with or without the use of lipid altering agents, such as statins. This is significant in that it broadens our currently issued MARINE method of use claims," stated Joseph Zakrzewski, Chairman and CEO of Amarin. "The issuance of this Notice of Allowance represents yet another significant step toward Amarin's goal of protecting the commercial potential of Vascepa to beyond 2030 through patent protection, regulatory exclusivity and trade secrets and by taking advantage of manufacturing barriers to entry."
The 13/610,247 Notice of Allowance has not yet been posted on the USPTO public PAIR website. Amarin has posted this Notice of Allowance and related claims in the Press Release section of its corporate website.
This application is part of an expanding patent portfolio for Amarin with 10 patent applications now either issued or allowed with the USPTO and over 30 additional applications pending in the United States. Amarin is also pursuing patent applications related to Vascepa in multiple jurisdictions outside the United States, including the application for Amarin's MARINE method of use patent in Europe for which Amarin has announced receipt of an Intention to Grant letter.

A further list and description of these risks, uncertainties and other risks associated with an investment in Amarin can be found in Amarin's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

London – Dr. Alveda King, Director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life, visited the statue of her uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., at Westminster Abbey while in London yesterday. The statue is one of ten 20th Century martyrs of the Christian faith memorialized in 1998 at the historic church.
"It is overwhelming to see the tribute paid to Uncle Martin by my British brothers and sisters," said Dr. King, "but I know the glory is all God's. It is the message that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., preached – God's Word – that still resonates today because the truth is timeless."
"Uncle Martin taught one of the great commandments, that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves," added Dr. King. "Our neighbor is every person, whether living next door, across the ocean, or in the womb. I pray today that Uncle Martin's dream of equal rights and respect for all, born and unborn, will soon come to pass."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.
