On September 4, the cast of SBS' Faith held a press conference, where Kim Hee Sun shared that her daughter cried watching Faith because of Lee Min Ho. Kim Hee Sun began with "I try not to talk about my family when I'm filming for a drama, but I have to share this story." "At the beginning, Choi Young (Lee Min Ho) appears, wearing a dark cape around his head. My daughter, who has been watching Snow White and the Seven Dwarves these days, thought he was a witch coming to give me a poisoned apple and cried." She added that once Lee Min Ho started keeping her out of harm, her daughter started watching the drama again. Faith is a drama about a modern-day plastic surgeon who time travels into the Goryeo Dynasty and ends up falling in love with the king's bodyguard. It airs every Monday and Tuesday on SBS.

Minnesota Slip bridge by wleif, on Flickr
DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — Repeated breakdowns of a pedestrian lift bridge between the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center and the city's Canal Park is causing angst for area businesses and forcing tourists and other pedestrians to walk nearly a mile to cross the Minnesota Slip.
The Duluth News Tribune reported that the latest breakdown happened Saturday, when a cable snapped and part of the bridge got stuck in the down position. It trapped a Vista Fleet tour boat in the slip, forcing cancellation of two sold-out voyages.
"That mini lift bridge and the connection it provides is vital to the health of Canal Park businesses of all kinds, whether you operate a candy shop or a restaurant or a hotel," said Brian Daugherty, president of Grandma's Restaurant Co. "When it stops working, you can feel the immediate despair."
Duluth spokesman Daniel Fanning said the city is making repairs before upcoming events that are expected to bring large crowds to Duluth, including a Bob Dylan concert and a tall ships festival.
"In the long term, we realize we have to explore other options and see what else is a possibility. That includes everything from replacing the bridge to doing a big-picture repair or even filling in the slip," Fanning said. "At this point, the administration is reviewing and evaluating the situation because we realize we can't let this continue to happen, year in and year out."
Capt. John Stieben, owner of Lake Superior Fishing charter service, said three of his vessels also got stuck in the slip Saturday.
"I had three sets of clients who came to town and stayed overnight to go fishing Saturday. But we couldn't even get off the dock because of that bridge," said Stieben, who figures he lost about $1,500.
Justin Steinbach, co-owner of the Vista Fleet, said the city has been responsive when there are issues with the bridge. But he plans to ask the city to reimburse him for money he lost on Saturday.
"It's kind of like driving a car with 125,000 miles on it that requires $300 to $400 in repairs every month. At a certain point, you have to ask: Is it worth it or is it time to look for a newer vehicle?" he said of the blue bridge.
The $800,000 bridge broke down shortly after it opened in 1991, and has been unreliable during some inopportune times, including during a 2011 maritime tall ship festival, a Reggae Festival and a dog show. The bridge was also inoperable during the 2006 Bayfront Blues Festival.

I know very well that people lie, and I had decided to stop fostering for that reason. Sneaky came here because she was living in a crate 24 hours a day and pregnant at 6/7 months old and, once again, I recently adopted her myself because no decent home wanted her (she is also not even close to be as easy as Meatball, by how you describe him). Zoey, the dog that people on this forum here helped, also came here because there were no other option other than euthanasia.Not a soul has showed interest and she is a nice little dog. Bottom line, I have been scared of fostering for a while, because I do want to be able to sleep at nigh after I place a dog. I also understand what you are saying about people not helping even when you pay all expenses. We get stuck with these dogs easily, and unfortunately it comes with the territory.
I wish I could take that boy and give him a forever home, truly.
dogs4jen wrote:....and several of the applicants I got thought they knew everything already and wouldn't listen about the two week shutdown, so maybe it's a common problem.
It is, and once they lie enough to adopt the dog they do whatever the want because the dog is theirs. My contract is rough on that, and I am sure that discourage many people from adopting from me, but it is made clear that there are legal consequences if what they sign for is not followed through (and I am not talking about what food to feed but more serious things). I always wonder about groups who have a big turn around of dogs of this breed being adopted, because it is not easy at all to find a trustworthy home.

1 Person Reviewed This Product
Sep 1, 2013~~ Fascinating, thought-provoking, informative and amusing ~~ This surprising, unique book is a joyous read for anyone interested in the science of how things work. As Erickson focuses in depth on cat claws--their development, purpose and proper care--she explains much more. The author's clear and entertaining prose reminds me of best-selling science author David Quammen. Erickson includes excellent images to illustrate each concept, such as the complex role and structure of skin, a seriously underrated organ. There is much more to learn about claws than you might think. Cat claws, unlike dogs and humans, never grow longer. Instead, claws are renewed from underneath and when ready, outer sheaths fall away to reveal fresh sharp claws of the same length. Photos in the book showing castoff sheaths are both transparent and beautiful. Sheath shedding "is the evolutionary plan to maintain each claw at a consistent length and to ensure that each claw's point and cutting edge are sharp and at... More > the ready." That important insight enables us to understand why it is usually unnecessary and inappropriate to trim or file cat claws. Too bad, claw information available online gives exactly the opposite advice. Erickson recognizes "The elegant design of cat claws has been tested by eons of time…." Cats cared for their own claws for millennia before people came along. The idea that cats waited centuries for "humans to invent those clippers…doesn't make sense." Cats claws are essential sharp tools used to catch prey and climb trees. If claws were protracted (out) all the time like dogs, those tools would get dull and worn. That is why cat claws retract. Scratching polishes claws and helps remove old sheaths when the time is right. Erickson discusses materials for scratching and ways to direct scratching to the desired object. The author's profound respect and understanding of how things work make this a valuable read for anyone, cat owner or not.< Less

The statement, issued as the Senate prepared for a motion to invoke cloture on the debate on a new farm bill, said the Ag Committee bill would "exacerbate current problems of overproduction and low commodity prices." The Senate subsequently passed the motion, which is designed to set a time limit for debate, by a vote of 73 to 26.
"Because new legislation will shape the future of U.S. agriculture in an unusually critical time, the administration believes that the Senate should resist retreating to policies, such as those contained in S. 1731, that will ultimately harm our farmers and ranchers," the Statement of Administration Policy said.
"Consequently, the administration strongly opposes S.1731, urges the Senate to defeat it, and supports the Cochran-Roberts Amendment as the more responsible, effective approach in helping America's farmers."
Supporters of the Senate Ag Committee bill and the farm bill passed by the House in October said that once again the administration had weighed in with a position that was "too little, too late.
"That's been the story of this administration on the farm bill," said an Arkansas producer who has been following the farm bill debate closely. "They seem to be about two weeks behind on everything they do. And when they do come out with a position on the farm bill, it's usually wrong."
The strongly worded statement issued by the Office of Management and Budget said the Senate Ag Committee bill also could hinder U.S. efforts to get other countries to lower agricultural trade barriers. And it claimed the bill's higher crop subsidies would primarily benefit large producers who least need the help.
Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman issued a statement after the release of the Bush administration policy paper. The statement urged Congress to take a cautious approach to the new farm bill.
"Farmers and ranchers face a rapidly changing marketplace and business environment," she said. "The long-term policy direction of the next farm bill will impact our farmers for many years, which is why we must get it right. Our farmers and ranchers deserve no less.
She said the Senate bill would expand the government's role in agriculture in a way that "threatens the financial health of the farm sector, compromises our efforts to expand our markets abroad, and harms American consumers, especially those with lower incomes."
The administration statement said the Cochran-Roberts amendment contains "policy consistent with the President's principles for sound farm policy. It provides for a strong safety net for farmers in times of low prices by continuing the current marketing loan program for traditional program crops, while better balancing loan rates, similar to the provisions in HR 2646, the House passed bill."
"Cochran-Roberts also substantially increases the fixed de-coupled payments as a trade-friendly, alternative providing a stable safety net for our producers," the secretary noted. "It also establishes innovative new farm savings accounts that provide another risk management tool for a broader range of producers.
"Cochran-Roberts would enhance conservation in a balanced way by improving existing programs and providing incentives for greater environmental benefits on working lands. Overall, the Cochran-Roberts amendment is responsible, effective farm policy that builds consensus and best helps our farmers and ranchers."
The amendment, which was written by Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., and Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, would make larger direct payments to farmers compared to the bill passed by the Ag Committee.
It would reduce the soybean loan rate, raise the sorghum loan rate and leave other loan rates in place where the Ag Committee bill raises loan rates for all of the program crops. It would offer farmers a subsidized "rainy day" savings account rather than the counter-cyclical payment plans of both the Senate Ag Committee and House farm bills.
But critics of the bill say the subsidized savings account would offer little help to producers who have seen almost no income in the last five years and have few prospects for improvement.
Under the amendment, the government would match a farmer's deposits up to a maximum of $10,000 a year in a financial institution approved by the secretary of agriculture. Producers could withdraw the funds if their adjusted gross revenue falls below 90 percent of their five-year average adjusted gross revenue.
The farm savings account, as they are also called, would be available to row crop, livestock and fruit and vegetable growers rather than to commodity producers alone.
While the Cochran-Roberts amendment does not enjoy the support in farm country that the House bill has engendered, some observers say it would be a means for the Senate to pass a farm bill and go to conference with the House to get a farm bill to the President before Christmas.
In her statement, Veneman pledged to become more active in the farm bill debate than the administration has been until now.
"We stand ready to continue working with the Congress in a deliberative and collaborative process to craft forward-looking farm policy that better serves farmers and ranchers, and is better for rural America, the environment, and the nation's consumers and our entire food and agriculture industry," she said.

Cats. The internet would implode without them. Especially Sushi Cats, magical creatures that are composed of a feline sitting atop of sushi. Now, the history of the mystical Sushi Cats can be learned via a mobile app created by a Japanese based company Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts. The app is available on Android and iOS, and takes users into the alternate universe which the Sushi Cats inhabit.
The app is a game of sorts, but more like a collection of some of the cutest cat related things the internet holds. The app is in Japanese, but that doesn't matter much. Even without a mastery of the Japanese language, users can still experience one of the cutest things ever. Marvel as the sushi cats travel around the world singing cute nonsensical songs in Japanese and stare wildly at giant hamburgers.
Trust me, citizens of the internet, download this app right…wait for it…meow.
Scroll down to have your mind blown by cuteness.

NINE charities are to share one million pounds from the will of a Vale of Evesham market gardener.
The money was bequeathed by Arthur Smith, of Bretforton, who died in September 2011. He left, after other bequests, a million pounds to be shared at £110,277 each to the Salvation Army, St John Ambulance, Macmillan Cancer Support, Friends of Evesham Community Hospital, Children's Society, Mind, Mencap, the Tracy Sollis Leukaemia Trust and St Richard's Hospice.
The estate is being dealt with by Evesham solicitors Cox & Hodgetts where the executors described Mr Smith as a very private man.
Local charities said they were absolutely overwhelmed by Mr Smith's generosity.
Sue Sollis, founder of the Tracy Sollis Leukaemia Trust, said notification of the bequest came completely out of the blue.
"I was absolutely overwhelmed," she said.
"It is just staggering and really a wonderful boost.
"This is by far the largest amount we have ever received – it is almost unbelievable, beyond my wildest dreams to receive this help and support which will make such a difference.
"It is a huge step forward for the charity which was set up after the death of my daughter Tracy to help fight leukaemia.
"With my fellow trustees, I shall put my heart and soul into thinking of ways by which we can make the biggest difference for those suffering from leukaemia in the future."
Another local beneficiary is the Friends of Evesham Community Hospital whose chairman, Frances Smith, said: "We are very grateful to Mr Smith.
"It is wonderful that people want to do this. It shows the esteem in which local people hold our local hospital.
"We have had big bequests over the years but they have generally been restricted to particular uses.
"This one has no restrictions on it so we can put our minds to deciding how best we can use the money for the benefit of patients and visitors to the hospital."

More Clone Wars maquettes coming out! Clone Wars Maquettes
Nice collection there Jon! $287 sounds like a pretty decent deal for the lot of them, but I don't seem to recall what they originally retailed for now... Any idea? I assume you'll be adding the several new ones that were shown at Toy Fair a few weeks ago too, right?
BTW, I seem to recall some folks discussing a rather incorrect paint scheme on the ARC Trooper there. Any idea what that was about? Or have I gotten my facts mixed up...?
The error is going around. Check out this article with some info from Gentle Giant on the subject.
Whoa, the Padme Maquette seems to have gone through the roof on eBay.PADME AMIDALA : CLONE WARS MAQUETTEI have been watching the auctions for awhile and they have been around the $162. to $210. mark.
The error on the Arc Trooper was something I hadn't heard about. It looks like mine is an error version. Kind of sucks, because I think I like the correct version more, and I'm not about to try and paint it. BTW mine is #754.

Law School celebrates 2013 Commencement with laughter, lei and familiesUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Interim Associate Dean for Student Services, William S Richardson School of Law
Beverly Creamer, (808) 398- 5736
Media Consultant, William S Richardson School of Law
Under a Mānoa rainbow and the occasional sprinkling of rain, the William S. Richardson School of Law this past weekend celebrated a new class of graduates, their jubilant families, their delightful children – some born during the years of law school attendance - and the immense promise they bring to their communities.
"We will be judged by our integrity, what's in our hearts, and what we do for others," retired Hawai'i Supreme Court Justice James Duffy Jr. said in the keynote address he delivered just before the 2013 graduates took the stage at Andrews Amphitheater on Sunday, May 12, to receive diplomas and certificates.
"We as lawyers need to be healers and peacemakers," he told the graduates and a cheering crowd of more than 800 friends and family. "Litigate with civility. Don't confuse being tough with being a jerk."
The 123 graduates and their families gathered in the Law School's leafy courtyard in the hours leading up to the late afternoon graduation, snapping photos, posing with children and grandparents, and beginning to wear what by twilight became a vast mountain of lei. Graduates drank a champagne toast, and applauded as 18 keiki – children of the graduates – accepted their own diplomas for the support and love they provided their parents.
The youngest child was just 10 days old.
Marine Captain Kate Perry, one of the graduates, rocked her three-month-old son Jack in a stroller as she and her husband, Marine Captain Graham Perry, waited for the ceremony to begin.
"Our baby was born during winter break," said Perry, a member of the part-time evening program who worked during the day, and attended classes at night. "I've been an air defense officer and now I'm trying the legal side."
Law Dean Avi Soifer took the microphone to praise the class for its humility and for its cohesiveness. Other speakers at the ceremony also noted how exceptional this graduating class was for its support of each other.
Seyed Amin Alemohammad, from Iran, speaking on behalf of the 13 graduating LLM foreign-trained students receiving Masters of Law degrees, noted how close the class has grown.
"A level of respect developed into great friendship that will last beyond today," he said. But he also said friends back home ask what it's like to live in a beautiful place like Hawai'i, and he has to tell them he doesn't know as all he's really seen is the inside of the Law Library.
Professor Danielle Conway, the Michael J. Marks Distinguished Professor of Business Law, spoke on behalf of the faculty, encouraging the graduates to become leaders in their communities, and, especially in Hawai'i, to challenge what she called "a culture of quiet" that works to maintain the status quo.
And she told the newly minted graduates not to fear challenging authority, or shaking cultural mores in order to make change. "Today is about who you are and what you stand for," she said. "We're facing a time of crisis in our community in Hawai'i. You are the ones who can break through this status quo. And you can successfully challenge the status quo by maintaining the highest levels of dignity. You are the key to the future success of this community."
As families gathered with balloons and lei for the ceremony, Brian and Susan Ellis of Kailua proudly watched their son Daniel take his place as a graduate, while his 23-month-old daughter, Coral, tried on his mortarboard.
"This is our second son who has graduated from the UH Law School," said Susan Ellis, a nurse at Queen's Medical Center. "All three of our sons are attorneys." (Their eldest, Brian Jr., graduated from Richardson seven years ago. Their middle son, Kevin, is a graduate of Tulane Law School and works as a juvenile rights lawyer in Portland, OR.)
Nearby, Eryn Leong cuddled her 13-month-old daughter Adelyn, surrounded by her parents, Ervin and Lynn Reyes and in-laws, Stirling and Faith Leong.
Close to them Kimo and Kapu Smith sat with granddaughter, Makanani, who was there to see grandpa awarded his degree.
Meanwhile, Spencer Jim On was snapping photos of his friend, Jaime Young, smiling happily with her folks and grandmother. Jim On and Young have been friends since childhood, and were graduating together.
As friends jostled for photos, smiling widely, the words of Elika Otoya Stimpson, who spoke on behalf of the graduating evening program students, rang clear and true.
"We are truly an 'ohana," she told the assemblage at Andrews. And then she spoke directly to the faculty, many of whom taught both day and evening classes: "Your willingness to mentor and teach gave me the strength to get through.
"I wouldn't be standing here today without the evening program. It taught us that dreams of second careers are possible."
Wayne Wagner had been chosen to speak on behalf of the graduating class, and told the crowd that this was a "bittersweet moment" as they looked ahead to successful careers yet felt a sense of loss for their years in the comforting surroundings of the Law School.
"We are now part of this rich tapestry of the Law School. I'm sure you won't follow your dreams," he said, "you will lead them."
Wagner mentioned the saying that the grass is always looking greener on the other side of the fence, and added: "I suspect that as we look back, we will find that there is nothing greener than the green of the Richardson Law School.
"In real life, success is determined in many more ways than by a grade," said Wagner. "We take what we do and breathe meaning into it."
The program included a touching presentation of the class gift to law lecturer Sherry Broder, widow of the late Professor Jon Van Dyke. The class, the last one taught by her renowned husband, commissioned a sculptural rendering of Van Dyke.
As the program ended, graduates circled the grassy amphitheater, held hands as they sang 'Hawai'i Aloha,' and then raised their arms in victory as their friends and families swarmed around them, with laughter, lei, tears, and good wishes.
"Truly," said one father heading into the crowd to find his daughter, "this is a day to remember."

Apple has filed a U.S. patent that describes a watch-like device, further feeding the rumor mill surrounding the mysterious and speculative iWatch.
The patent describes the device as a wearable computer that can double as a wristwatch. The bracelet would be of the slap variety, meaning that it would lay flat until the flat part is slapped against the user's wrist. The slap-band would then curl around and secure itself on the user's wrist. It's a perfect form factor for this sort of device, much simpler than a conventional, adjustable watchband.
The band would function more as an accessory than a separate device, requiring an iPhone to reach its full potential. Perhaps one day our smartphones will be wearable, but it seems like we have a bit longer to wait on that front.
In the application, Apple outlines several different uses for the accessory that go far beyond telling the time as Patently Apple describes:
"Apple states that with a multitouch display, the user 'can accomplish a number of different tasks including adjusting the order of a current playlist, or reviewing a list of recent phone calls. A response to a current text message can even be managed given a simple virtual keyboard…' According to Apple, a larger display is also more desirable for map viewing… a traveler or explorer can easily reference the information with a flick of the wrist…"
Other features mentioned in the patent include the ability to view high quality video streams (of course), a light for bike riding, and a backlit colored border. There is also mention of a sensor that will turn off unused sections of the display when worn on smaller wrists. This particular feature would play side-by-side with accelerometers and gyroscopes meant to ensure content stays visible no matter how the wrist is turned.
The other noteworthy piece of information is how Apple plans to power the device. The first method involves a solar panel hiding out underneath the curved display. The second method would presumably compliment the first, using kinetic energy technology already used in watches to juice up the device. Both methods working in tandem would certainly provide enough power to keep you away from the outlet, especially given how much we move our arms throughout the day.
As always, a patent application doesn't necessarily result in an actual product, but one this detailed is hard to ignore. It's especially suspicious with all of the rumors swirling around about the iWatch right now. Check out an image from Patently Apple below.

Hi Folks,
I hope all of you are doing well it's been a long time since I've posted here. I wanted to let you know that I have started using cbd oil to see if it will help reduce or stop my seizures even more.
Since it's become legal now it's no problem to buy it and you don't get high from it. If anyone is interested check out healthy hemp oil they have different types of hemp oil for all different medical problems from epilepsy, MS, headaches, back pain, anxiety and much more.
I bought the mouth spray that has a peppermint taste I started out with squirting 2 squirts in my mouth once a day but I will tell you that made me really tired so I cut it back to just one squirt a day and you have to do it at the same time each day. I will know in 2 weeks if it works and if it doesn't I get my money back so I can't complain. I'm glad you don't smoke it but they have other types besides the oil they have pastes you can put on your skin, the type you can use as a vaporizer and breathe it in and much more.
I wish all of you only the best and May God Bless All of You!

January 24, 2006 - Information in Unusual Places
by Jeff Moss
I agree with Mariusz Burdach when he says that volatile memory analysis will be used more often in the future to find evidence. This is often the only place where advanced code resides. At Black Hat Federal he will release two tools to analyze Windows and Linux memory images, which is a great step forward in the effort to bring these techniques to a wider audience.
Looking at another unusual place to find information, Simson Garfinkel recently completed methodical research regarding recovering data from pre-owned hard drives. With 210 million drives being 'retired' this year, the magnitude of the data sanitation problem is growing. Simson found governments, corporations, and private individuals who had inadvertently leaked extremely sensitive information. He also realized that the existing disk forensic tools and methodologies are inadequate for large-scale investigations, so Simson created AFF and tools to support its use along the way.
Finding Digital Evidence in Physical Memory
by Mariusz Burdach posted January 24, 2006
Historically, only file systems were considered as storage where evidence could be found. But what about the volatile memory that contains a huge amount of useful information? Why not dump the content of the memory during data collection from a suspicious computer? How do you analyze the physical memory? Is it possible? I will try to find the answer.
During different forensics presentations everyone surely saw the movies about methods of securing suspicious computers used by the police. In first step, they remove power from the PC and then take care about the machine. It is very easy task, isn't it? But all volatile data and also potential evidence is lost.
I started to look for documents about methods of acquisition and analysis of the volatile memory. But none or very limited information about this subject is available in specialized books and in the internet.
Some methodologies can be found in many incident response guides. These guides describe toolkits that help investigators to collect some data from a compromised machine. But these methods have several disadvantages and are rather useless in serious cases. The ideal solution is dumping a content of whole memory in one step and then starting offline image investigation. I decided to start my investigation from Linux memory images - mostly, because all memory structures are well described and the source code is easily available ;).
Next, I moved to the Windows operating system, which is challenging. But even in this case a lot of interesting information can be extracted from Windows memory image. Moreover, the research provided me some ideas of detecting processes hidden by tools such as root kits.
All detailed information, mentioned in this blog, is well documented in my papers:
"Digital forensics of the physical memory", "An Introduction to Windows memory forensics" which are available at http://forensic.secure.net and my article for SecurityFocus.

The beautiful 62-acre National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother in Portland, Ore. — or the "the grotto" — recently celebrated the 90th anniversary of its founding by Servite friar Father Ambrose Mayer (1883-1971), and the 30th anniversary of its designation as a national shrine.
Dec. 30 marked the end of its magnificent Festival of Lights, which draws 60,000 visitors, engages the services of 900 volunteers and features a display of 1 million Christmas lights to celebrate the birth of Our Savior.
Visitors to the grotto can walk down paths through towering Pacific Northwestern fir trees and enjoy hundreds of works of Christian art, beautiful gardens, streams and ponds, and fabulous views of the city. The space is divided into two levels, the upper level 110 feet above the lower, accessible by elevator. Visitors pay $4.50 to ride the elevator to the upper level, which is the only fee required while visiting the grounds. The upper level is also home to a Servite monastery, whose five friars offer daily Mass, hear confessions and lead devotions.
"We're one of Portland's best-kept secrets, but we want to change that," said Jane Tokito, director of development and marketing.
Though the grotto was founded in 1923, it got its start much earlier. When Ambrose was a boy in Ontario, Canada, in 1892, his mother was in danger of death due to complications related to childbirth. His newborn sister was not expected to live either. The 9-year-old begged the Blessed Mother to intercede for their survival, and he promised to do a great work for her in return. Both mother and baby survived.
Ambrose soon joined the Servite friars and was sent to serve as a priest first in Vancouver, then in Portland. When a 62-acre site owned by the Union Pacific Railroad Company came up for sale, Father Ambrose realized how he could fulfill his promise to the Blessed Mother. He would buy it and build a shrine in her honor.
With the special apostolic blessing of Pope Pius XI, the property was purchased. In the aftermath of World War I and a worldwide flu epidemic that killed millions, Portland Archbishop Alexander Christie declared at its dedication: "Let this be a sanctuary of peace for all peoples of the Earth and surely in this day a sanctuary is needed. Torn with differences, strife and grief, the world needs sanctuary where the human spirit can seek peace and consolation."
Central to the shrine is a high basalt rock wall, in which Father Ambrose had carved out a cave, or grotto, similar to the famous Lourdes grotto in France where Bernadette Soubirous had apparitions of the Blessed Mother in 1858. (St. Bernadette received much attention in the Catholic world at the time, as Pope Pius XI declared her blessed in 1925 and a saint in 1933).
Father Ambrose built an outdoor altar in front of the grotto and a large plaza with seating for the faithful.
The shrine saw many improvements in the following decades. In 1934, Pope Pius XI blessed a bronze statue of Our Sorrowful Mother, today one of the more prominent statues on the grounds, located above the outdoor altar. In 1955, The Chapel of Mary, Mother of the Human Race opened — a large traditional church on the lower level of the grounds.
Today, Father Jack Topper is the executive director of the grotto. He has been a priest for 25 years, 23 of which he has served in his current position "following in the footsteps" of Father Ambrose.
Although he never knew Father Ambrose, he has spoken with many of his fellow Servites who did, and he has learned much about his predecessor. First, Father Ambrose had a tremendous devotion to the Blessed Mother. When the Servites first assigned him to his Portland parish, for example, he renamed it Assumption Parish in her honor (the parish has since closed and today is Assumption Village, a home for seniors). Additionally, in 1934, Father Ambrose was instrumental in bringing the first Marian Congress to Portland, which brought 60,000 visitors to Marian sanctuary.
Father Ambrose also was a man of determination. As Father Topper said:
"He was the type of person who does something first, then asks permission later. It could, in fact, get him into trouble."
The purchase price of the grotto, for example, was $48,000 — far more than Father Ambrose could afford. However, he was able to negotiate a payment plan with Union Pacific, making a $3,000 down payment and then launching a successful nationwide appeal to pay for the remainder.
"Once he started something, he put his whole mind and heart into it," Father Topper observed.
Today, the grotto draws 200,000 visitors per year, mostly Catholics. It is operated by a small staff; its $2 million annual budget is funded by elevator fees, gift shop sales, donations and special events. The Grotto welcomes weddings and can be used as a conference center. But the most important function of the site, Father Topper said, is the celebration of daily Mass at the outdoor chapel.
The grotto also hosts a popular monthly St. Peregrine Mass. Peregrine was a member of the Servite order and is a patron saint of those battling cancer. The sanctuary plays an important role for the Servite order itself, as men are invited to participate in retreats there to discern a vocation. Vocations have been down in the community, but Father Topper hopes the grotto can play a role in changing the situation.
The grotto offers seasonal activities, most notably the annual Christmas Festival of Lights, which kicks off after Thanksgiving. Highlights include colorful Christmas lights, choirs singing carols in the Chapel of Mary, a life-size Nativity scene and a petting zoo. Noticeably missing is Santa Claus, as the celebration is focused on the religious, rather than secular, aspects of Christmas. "It's become a wonderful community event that has helped sustain us during the hard months of winter," Tokito said.
Despite being "a place of solitude, peace and prayer," as its website declares, the grotto has not been untouched by ugliness from the outside world. Last December, vandals slipped onto the grounds one evening and severely damaged two statues. One of St. Joseph holding child Jesus had both heads cut off; another of the Blessed Mother was toppled and also beheaded. Neither a motive nor the culprits have been found.
New fencing and security measures were added to better protect the property, as expressions of concern came in from the community.
"There was a huge outcry," Tokito said. "Everyone was shocked. No one could believe that someone could destroy such beautiful things."
Despite its already vast collection of Catholic art, new pieces are still being added to the space. The local Catholic Lithuanian community, for example, built a Lithuanian Wayside Shrine in 1963; more recently, an Our Lady of Czestochowa Polish Shrine, and a Dambana, or Filipino Faith Shrine, have been installed. Shrines from the Vietnamese and Hispanic cultures are in the works.
"I tell them to come to me with the plans, we'll approve them and then raise the money, and we'll build them," Father Topper said.
While fundraising and maintenance remain an on-going challenge, Father Topper believes that Father Ambrose would approve of the work of the Servites, lay staff and volunteers of the grotto today.
"It continues to be a place where people can find comfort, support and compassion," he said. "I think Father Ambrose would be delighted and pleased to see it, just as I'm delighted and pleased to be walking in his shoes."
"I can't believe I'm lucky enough to work here," Tokito said. "Every day I'm in awe of the grotto's beauty and serenity."

In general it's a pretty good mix Theta... I usually get good deals on loose stuff, army builders, random junk that I want. There's lots of vintage at it usually which of course is pricey. Usually a healthy mix of carded and loose there too.Lots of carded modern at the show but the prices are usually disturbing. Loose stuff is usually much more acceptable price-wise.Let me know if you're coming into town for the show Theta. I didn't realize you lived that close by. I'm guessing you're in Ohio somewhere then. I'll not be at the show Saturdays for the foreseable future, but instead I'll be hitting it on Sunday.The show is always great though. This will only be its second time at the new venue though, so it's still going through some growing pains, but was still busy back in October. I imagine it'll be busy this April too.Anyway, you can always find something good at the show... The "latest" stuff usually has a pretty outrageous pricetag on it, but older stuff is often pretty easy to obtain at a fair price. I have a rule of never paying more than its original retail cost, and I've stuck to that since I started collecting, but yet I've always spent a lot at the TOy Show, so I manage to always get a LOT of great deals.
The April 24th, 25th, and 26th show updated with a new guest...Anthony Daniels is showing up! Pretty darn cool. Wishing he was there Sunday, but betting he won't be, so I'm going to probably have to miss out on his autograph. However, that's a big name for the show and it'd be great to see him.
I am already stoked for this guest. New center, awesome guest... You gotta come eat at Primanti's with us too for once.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 4, 2011) – Head East Tennessee State University women's basketball coach Karen Kemp turned to a familiar face for her new assistant coach as she announced Thursday afternoon former Lady Buccaneer standout Brooke Wilhoit will join her staff. Wilhoit will work with the guards, while also assisting in recruiting, video, community service, academics, and travel.
Wilhoit, who was a four-year letterwinner for the Lady Bucs from 2004-07, spent three years as an assistant at Wofford (2007-2009), while completing the 2010-11 season at Kennesaw State.
Overall, Kemp is excited to have her former point guard on staff, and she knows Wilhoit will be a valuable asset.
"About three years ago, I told Brooke if I ever had an opening on my staff, I would be coming after her," said Kemp. "After Josh left for Elon, I had the opening and I was able to get Brooke back at ETSU. With Brooke being a former Lady Buc – she bleeds Blue and Gold – and we're excited to have her on staff."
As for Wilhoit, she is honored to wear the Blue and Gold again.
"I couldn't be more excited to be back," Wilhoit said. "Coach Kemp gave me the opportunity to be in Blue and Gold again and I couldn't turn down the offer. I absolutely loved playing here and spent four years of my life in Johnson City, so it feels good to be back. It's in my heart that I am a Lady Buc. The last four years were great for me to grow as coach, but this is the place I am supposed to be."
During her playing career with the Lady Bucs, the Sevierville, Tenn. native earned many accolades, while also laying the foundation to the winning success achieved over the last few seasons. Wilhoit was named to the Southern Conference All-Freshman Team (2003-04), and was also tabbed to the Second Team All-Atlantic Sun and A-Sun All-Tournament Teams in 2007. Furthermore, Wilhoit also finished the 2006-07 campaign averaging an astonishing 5.9 assists per game, placing her 12th among NCAA Division I leaders. For her career, the flashy point guard ranked second in program history with 445 assists and fourth in steals (210). Wilhoit also led the Blue and Gold to the 2007 Postseason WNIT, a first for the Lady Bucs since Kemp took over the program in 1994-95.
"As a player, you couldn't ask for someone who was as loyal, dedicated, and knowledgeable than Brooke," added Kemp. "Those traits are critical when it comes to recruiting, and I think Brooke will play an integral role in this area since she played here and she knows our style. During her career at ETSU, Brooke acted as a coach each day in practice and on game day. Brooke was willing to do whatever you asked her to do and she has a heart of a champion."
Following her playing career in Johnson City, Wilhoit entered the coaching ranks at Wofford. In her three years with the Terriers, Brooke was able to gain a lot of experience in every facet of coaching. Along with coaching the guards, Wilhoit acted as the recruiting coordinator, while also assisting in film breakdown, travel, camps, and community service work. Wilhoit had the privilege in coaching Mahagony Williams – who captured the program's first-ever Freshman of the Year honor in 2007-08. Along with Williams, Wilhoit saw Liz Miller set the single game, season, and career marks in steals. Miller also dished out 107 assists in 2007-08 – placing her sixth all-time on the single-season leaders list as well as finishing her career 12th all-time in scoring (977).
As a team, Wofford scored 1,890 (2007-08) and 1,810 (2008-09) points, ranking eighth and tenth, respectively. During her three-year stint in Spartanburg, Wilhoit saw the Terriers finish in the top-10 in three-pointers made (all three seasons), while Wofford forced a total of 628 steals in her first two seasons.
Like she did at Wofford, Wilhoit was given the opportunity to get her feet wet in all aspects at Kennesaw State. Wilhoit helped coach the guards, but she also assisted in film exchange, setting up camps, and was the community service liaison.
On the hardwood, Wilhoit coached guard Angie Smith – who led the team in scoring (13.3), assists (93), and steals (84) – while also seeing guard/forward Sametria Gideon average a double-double (11.9 points/10.4 rebounds). In addition to the pair of standouts, junior guard Ashley Holliday enjoyed a historic night when she netted a school-record and NCAA Division I season-best nine three-pointers in the win over Mercer on Jan. 26, 2011. Wilhoit and the Lady Owls also handed Florida Gulf Coast one of its four losses on the year after Kennesaw State knocked off the Eagles, 63-52, in Kennesaw, Ga.
"Having Brooke spend last year coaching at Kennesaw will pay dividends as she is already familiar with the league," said Kemp.

The Savage grant, the first land granted to private individuals in Cabell and Wayne counties, is a proposition which won't stay downed.
The other day the writer of this article happened to get chesty about one of his ancestral names being named in the first land grant here. "I guess that's how part of my tribe came here, " it was remarked.
And right there another of those fond dreams was punctured. . .
"Nothing doing!" remarked the other fellow who takes pleasure in doing that sort of thing.
The cold truth of the matter is (and how like us yet, we thought) every bit of that first land grant was sold for taxes!
All of those ancestors who should have settled here, judging by the names, will [require] a little more research work. Not a single person entitled to a share of the Savage grant ever took possession of it.
The lands were sold after the War of 1812 for United States direct tax of two cents an acre. Cabell county, which included Wayne at that time, had to raise $1,546, 50, and the old soldiers or their heirs forfeited their tracts of 400 acres rather than pay the $8.00 accessed against it.
It had been decreed that if the land taxes were not paid by July 1, 1819, the land should be sold. In 1817 surveyors were directed to come here to make such surveying as might be necessary and to make appraisal reports, and the like.
General Edward W. Tupper was the surveyor. The commission was composed of George Summers, Lewis Summers, John Henderson, William Sterrett and Andrew Parks.
Their bill of expenses was $2, 351, ?55 and was accessed at $33 to each share of the 400 acres, which was in addition to the tax and equalization money. They reported the number of lots and their estimated value.
The suit had been instituted at Staunton, Va., and there in December 1818 the tract allotted to the original grant of William Buffington, 3,423 acres, was confirmed to Thomas and William Buffington, Jr.
The 800 acres assigned to Charles Morgan was turned over to Simon Morgan, Nancy Morgan, and to James Wells and his wife. There was allotted in 1775 to James Mccormick 1200 acres, owner of the shares of Timothy Conway, John Meade and James Ford. This tract was confirmed to Moses Mccormick, and others.
Lots 48, 58, 59 and 60 were allotted to Isaac LaRue Tot, the shares of N. A. McCoy.
Parts of the tracts assigned to Robert Tunstall, Robert Langdon, Joshua Jordan, Ed Evans, John Ramsey, Michael Scully and Marshall Pratt were confirmed to John Morrow.
The shares of James Given and Wm. Hogan were assigned to Robert Rutherford, later to John Morrow. Morrow also acquired the share of Mathew Donn and Richard Bolton.
David Spurlock acquired lot 26. Numbers 22 and 25, the shares of Wm. and Henry Bailey were confirmed to Charles Brown of Kanawha county.
The shares of Charles Smith were conveyed to Philip Easton and to Horatio Catlett. The shares of James Ludlow were conveyed to John Poage, that of James Latrol to John Poage, the shares of William Coleman to Achilles Rogers.
The shares of James, Samuel, Hugh, Paul and Robert Jones were confirmed to Henry Hampton and his assignees. The shares of David Gorman were confirmed to Manoah Bostick.
The tract of Richard Trotter was confirmed to Edward McCarty.
One of the earliest settlers, Jonathan Buffington, returned to his home on the Guyandotte and found the bodies of his entire family, except a little girl, lying on the ground scalped. He concluded his child was left to live and had been captured by the Indians. He followed them and he himself was taken and was held prisoner for years. He finally returned to Cabell county, but no trace of his baby girl has ever been found.
Thomas Hannon, who settled at Green Bottom, has been called the first settler in Cabell county. The first settler in the present limits of Wayne was probably Stephen Kelly, who erected his cabin at the point, at the mouth of Big Sandy, in 1798. Mathew Bellomy came in 1799.
Wayne and Cabell counties were both formerly parts of Kanawha county, which was formed in 1788.

But if this work is not completed at that time, send a statement to the State Department as soon as possible and no later than September 1st.
Applicants should be on hand promptly at the beginning of each session. In no case an applicant will be allowed to begin a subject after the manuscripts on that subject have been taken up.
No applicant from another county may be admitted to the examination if he does not have a written permission from the County Superintendent of the county where he resides.
So be prepared with ink, erasers, paper, knives, pencil and pen, etc. Because it is a mark of a good teacher to come fully equipped with everything he may need. (sic)

Accurately Pinpoint Sources Of Fluid Leaks
Spectronics has introduced the OPK-341 Industrial Leak Detection Kit that the company says can pinpoint the exact source of fluid leaks in hydraulic equipment, compressors, engines, gearboxes, fuel and other synthetic and petroleum-using industrial systems. The kit's core is the OPTIMAX™ 3000, a cordless, super-powerful, rechargeable blue-light LED inspection flashlight. Fifteen times brighter than regular LED flashlights, it has an inspection range of up to 20' (6.1 m). The kit also includes a 16 oz. bottle of patented OIL-GLO™ 44 concentrated fluorescent oil dye that's compatible with all synthetic and petroleum-based fluids. When a leaking industrial system is scanned with the OPTIMAX™ 3000 flashlight, the dye glows brightly to reveal the precise location of the problem. An 8 oz. spray bottle of GLO-AWAY™ dye cleaner, smart AC and DC chargers, dye treatment tags and fluorescence-enhancing glasses round out the kit that comes in its own rugged carrying case.

Space-Saving Directional Proportional Spool Valves
HAWE offers proportional spool valves for both fixed (PSL) and variable (PSV) displacement systems. Made of steel, these tough, small-footprint units can ensure the type of high-cutting force and reliable operation that's essen-tial for roadheaders, longwall shearers and microtunnel boring machines. According to the manufacturer, its PSL and PSV units operate efficiently in mid-pressure ranges, but easily manage high-pressure surges that occur when equipment encounters rocks and rough terrain. Their high degree of proportional control allows precise positioning and significant maneuverability. The size of these valves saves space in the overall design of the machine and their modularity simplifies servicing. HAWE's compact PSL directional proportional spool valve is designated for use in areas with explosive gas, vapor, aerosol and air mixtures and dusts or mists. Certifications according to ATEX, IEC, MSHA and MA are available on request.

New Zinc-Free Hydraulic Fluid Delivers A Range Of Benefits
Shell Lubricants has introduced Shell Tellus S3 M, a new hydraulic fluid that uses unique, advanced, zinc-free anti-wear technology to deliver improved pump protection, enhanced system efficiency and up to twice the life of Shell's previous zinc-free product. It's suited for use in factory-based industrial hydraulic applications and severe-duty, extended-operation applications, as well as in mobile and outdoor applications in climates with limited temperature variations. According to the manufacturer, the low aquatic toxicity of this product reduces its environmental impact in the event of a spill and helps operators better manage the environmental impact of their processes. For example, using it in equipment suffering from leaks or frequent hose bursts and loss of fluid can help reduce the risk of zinc and other heavy metals entering a plant's wastewater. Available in five ISO viscosity grades, Shell Tellus S3 M meets the requirements of a number of OEM specifications, including, among others, Husky (ISO VG 46), Parker Hannifin HF-0, HF-1, HF-2, and Eaton 694. It also meets standards ISO 11158 HM fluids, AFNOR NF-E 48-603, ASTM D6158 (HM mineral oils), DIN 51524-2 (HLP oils) and Swedish Standard SS 15 54 34 AM.

MACON, Ga. (March 5, 2010) - For the fourth straight year the ETSU women's basketball team will be playing in the Atlantic Sun championship game, as the Lady Bucs square off with North Florida on Saturday. Tip is set for noon inside Mercer's University Center.
The Lady Bucs (22-8) moved on to the finals after holding off a strong Belmont squad, 77-63, on Friday afternoon. Senior Player of the Year Siarre Evans (Griffin, Ga.) finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds - marking her 53rd career double-double. Meanwhile, junior newcomer Tarita Gordon (Wichita, Kan.) exploded in the second half - finishing with 18 of her 20 points in the final 20 minutes.
UNF (12-19), a number seven seed, is the lowest seed to advance to the championship game after knocking off host Mercer (55-40) on Wednesday and Jacksonville on Friday, 50-46. Brittany Kirkland and Juliemay Syquio each scored 10 points for UNF; while Arlande Cherizol came through with six points and 13 rebounds in the four-point win over the Dolphins.
The Lady Bucs swept the Ospreys during the regular season and lead the all-time series, 8-1. ETSU defeated UNF last week in Jacksonville, as the Lady Bucs used a 26-9 run in the final 9-plus minutes to come away with the 68-58 victory. ETSU also knocked off the Ospreys, 82-54, back on Dec. 5 in Johnson City. Evans is averaging 18 points and 11 rebounds this season against UNF; while TaRonda Wiles (Danville, Va.) is posting 14.5 points per game.
Fans unable to make the trip to Macon can catch all the action live on CSS and through A-Sun.TV.
Fans can also listen to all the action live, as "Voice of the Lady Bucs" Don Helman will handle the play-by-play duties. Fans in Johnson City should tune into WKPT-AM (1590), WOPI-AM (1490) in Bristol, WKPT-AM (1400) in Kingsport.

Vintage dinnerware and classic comfort food
Michael Leddy has a new "dowdy" coffee cup with saucer that looks like old-time restaurant ware. The everyday dinner plates at my house are similar in style. They are heavy, white, Corning® plates with burgundy bands on the rims.
I bought fourteen of them at a flea market a couple of years ago for $1.00 each. I have no idea if that was a good price, and I don't really care. I bought them because I like them. I think of them as my "diner" plates.
When I imagine going back in time to a small-town cafe of my childhood, I see my dad getting a hot beef sandwich on a plate like that. The sandwich is two slices of soft white bread, filled generously with thin-sliced roast beef. It shares the plate with a big mound of mashed potatoes. Brown gravy covers the sandwich and potatoes and fills the plate to its brim.
Flashduck has a good photo of a hot beef sandwich in her Picassa album. In my opinion, the roast beef sandwich shouldn't be open-faced, but otherwise, it's perfect. It looks tasty.
Maggie Osterberg photographed a hot beef made with French fries. The sandwich looks great (mmmm, lots of pepper), but those gravy-laden fries just aren't right. (And the plate isn't right, either!)

Things You Do that Bore Her in Bed
The Dying Passion
Of course she eagerly jumped in the sack with you when you guys had started dating but now the urgency has become less. How do you find out what is going on with her? Is she "not-really-feeling-this-at-all" or has she drifted to "I don't care about sex" territory? You have to avoid the terrible fate of being a "horrible lover" and you can't let this sexual deficit to carry over the rest of your relationship. Learn the subtle signs which she gives out to tell you that you are boring her in bed. Image Courtesy: GettyLoading...
"Can we do it tonight baby?"
Dude, if you have been in relationship long enough to know her body language and emotions, recognise them and cut off with your robotic requests. They are a big turn off. Yes, consent is predominant in any relationship but isn't something as simple as an intense look or a certain touch obvious to you? Image Courtesy: Getty
Heck, You are Predictable
Try new things that you'll both enjoy to keep a long-term relationship fresh. Where are your moves, man? How could you let her already know your every move? If you devote five minutes to foreplay, tease her mercilessly for 15 minutes the next time. Don't let her know what hit her. Image Courtesy: Getty
No Passion?
Are you treating your girl like a blow-doll? Sex without passion is dull. Period. Be the lover of her dreams and sweep her off her feet with the heat. If you don't go the extra mile, she might find someone who would. Image Courtesy: Getty
The Same Old Mechanical Sex
Romance is the key, dear friend. Being romantic every once in a while will get her all over you. Leave her love notes, make her a romantic dinner, write a song to melt her and take her hand for a dance the next time your love song plays on the radio. Image Courtesy: Getty
Your Room Again?
You're in trouble if she knows the cracks in your ceiling. A change of location is necessary to keep things exciting. Travel the world with her. If not, do it in the shower, the kitchen table, your car, in the woods- wherever you can imagine it. Just try not to get caught. Image Courtesy: Getty
Not the Missionary Position Again!
You better try some new positions, spill your fantasies, engage in role playing or do anything that spices things up. The same old sex positions can throw her into sheer bedroom boredom. Image Courtesy: Getty
Sleeping at a Different Time?
There's a more likely reason for her early bedtime: she's aiming to avoid intimacy. She is trying not to be in bed at the same time as you on purpose. If your girl is losing her interest, you really need to have good seduction skills to lure her in. Image Courtesy: Getty

The word "chicken" means, coward. There are two ways to play the game of chicken, one involves two cars driving towards each other, and the first driver to swerve out of the way of the oncoming car is considered the chicken, or a coward. The second way to play is where a person stands in the middle of the highway or road and waits for the oncoming cars to swerve.Originally Posted by Eway

COLLEGEVILLE, PA - Unbeaten Ursinus got a 38-yard field goal from Michael Bennett and a one-yard touchdown run from Justin Descristofaro in the final eight minutes of the fourth quarter to snap a 17-17 tie and slip past visiting Johns Hopkins, 26-17, at Patterson Field Saturday afternoon. The Bears improve to 6-0 overall and 5-0 in the Centennial Conference, while Johns Hopkins slips to 3-3 overall and 3-2 in the Centennial.
The Bears appeared to be in control with a 17-9 lead and possession in JHU territory early in the fourth quarter, but Taylor Maciow returned a fumble 54 yards to the Ursinus one yard line and Nick Fazio scored two plays later to make it 17-15. When Hewitt Tomlin hit Tucker Michels on a quick slant for a two-point conversion, the Blue Jays had tied it at 17 with more than 11 minutes still remaining.
Ursinus got a 39-yard return from Mike Rissmiller on the kickoff and after Fazio's touchdown and used nine plays to set up Bennett's 38-yard field goal. Joe Henry then intercepted Tomlin on JHU's first play of its next possession and Decristofaro went over from a yard out six plays later to seal the victory.
The Blue Jays had the ball for just 2:25 in the first quarter, but still led 7-0 after the first 15 minutes as junior Mike Milano's 45-yard interception return for a touchdown staked the Blue Jays to an early lead. It is the second time in Milano's career that he has returned an interception for a touchdown.
The lead held until early in the second quarter when Decristofaro found Nick Giarratano all alone down the middle with a 25-yard touchdown pass.
Despite holding the ball for more than 20 minutes in the first half, Ursinus appeared ready to settle for a 7-7 halftime tie, but the Blue Jays failed to run out the clock late in the second quarter and the Bears moved 34 yards one two plays and got a 35-yard field goal from Bennett as time expired to make it 10-7 Ursinus at the half. Bennett's field goal came on an untimed play after JHU was flagged for pass interference with no time on the clock.
Johns Hopkins pulled within 10-9 after an errant snap on an Ursinus punt attempt sailed out of the back of the end zone early in the third quarter and it remained a one-point game until the first play of the fourth quarter, when Giarratano snagged his second touchdown reception of the game – this one from 28 yards out - to make it 17-9.
Ursinus came up with a fumble recovery on JHU's ensuing possession, but Mike Todisco forced the fumble that Maciow returned to set up Fazio's game-tying touchdown with 11:32 remaining in the fourth quarter. That set the stage for the Bears' final push, which sealed their first 6-0 start since 1996.
Freshman Brian Ellis rushed 39 times for 138 yards and Decristofaro was 16-of-29 for 152 yards with the two touchdowns and two interceptions. Ursinus held the ball for more than 41 minutes and the UC defense held JHU to a season-low 148 yards of total offense.
Tomlin was 14-of-33 for 131 yards with the one interception. Sam Wernick had four receptions for 58 yards and Scott Cremens added four for 47 yards for the Blue Jays. Ryan Piatek posted a game-high 13 tackles, while Dan Keenan added a career-high 11 for Johns Hopins.
Johns Hopkins will return to action next Saturday when the Blue Jays make their first trip to Susquehanna since 1977.

A decades-spanning musical drama about a mother and daughter, "Beloved" is both broody and bright, steeped in amour in all its Gallic permutations: mad, destined, unrequited, sustaining.
In the central roles, real-life mother and daughter Catherine Deneuve and Chiara Mastroianni bring a chemical spark to the on-screen dynamics, and their compelling performances anchor the story's novelistic sprawl, especially when it falters or loses focus.
Moving from frothy '60s nostalgia to dark melodrama, director Christophe Honore's film follows characters who follow their hearts, unwilling to accept such potential barriers to desire as marital status, language and sexual orientation. The generational dividing line is the AIDS epidemic, separating freewheeling love from love that bears a heavy cost.
Ludivine Sagnier plays the younger version of Deneuve's character, Madeleine, who in the movie's first leap of plausibility (and a lighthearted nod to "Belle de Jour") begins moonlighting as a prostitute, a pair of stolen Roger Vivier pumps setting off the fateful chain of events.
Handsome Czech doctor Jaromil (Rasha Bukvic), one of Madeleine's clients, becomes the love of her life — and is affectingly played later, opposite Deneuve, by filmmaker Milos Forman.
In the first of a dozen pop numbers by Alex Beaupain, all of them lovely but more mood intensifying than musically memorable, Sagnier's Madeleine sings to Jaromil in a color-coordinated street scene. Honore's interweaving of artifice and realism is often effervescent, but a pointed theatricality undermines his incorporation of historical elements such as Prague Spring protests.
As impulsive as their roller-coaster love story is, Madeleine and Jaromil are the picture of equanimity compared with their daughter, Vera (Mastroianni), whose agitation is matched by the fevered strings in the score, and whose longing for a gay American drummer (Paul Schneider, excellent) is nothing if not overheated.
In a wonderful sequence, her father tries to inject some cheer in her life with the gift of a pink sari.
The story lines are thin, but the melancholy that Honore and his cast tap into is vibrant, particularly in Deneuve's portrayal of a woman who has embraced romantic daring and can observe her younger self without regret.
