1. One might think that when a plane full of passengers makes an emergency landing on a body of water in the middle of a city and all aboard survive, the reaction would be nothing but unqualified joy. But we live in a world of varied and divergent opinions, as evidenced by the response to My Aircraft, Robert Kolker's story about Captain Chesley Sully Sullenberger and Flight 1549 (February 9). Pilots get all the glory, a commenter wrote on nymag.com, and the avionics engineers never get the attention they deserve. A well-maintained aircraft is as important as the emergency landing that rarely occurs. Another added, There were five crew members onboard that day. They were just doing their job, not being heroes. If Sully is a hero, so is every pilot and flight attendant out there, since they get the passengers to their destination safely. To all of the pilots and flight attendantswe are all heroes and should be treated as such!
One captain took exception to the article's point about the change in pilot culture: The fact that Sully had 19,663 hours of flight time and at least two checkrides a year was far more pertinent to the survival of the passengers on that airplane. Dodging SAMs, jinking and popping chaff over Southeast Asia 30 years ago is not even remotely related to the handling of an airliner. As a civilian-trained airline captain myself, I have witnessed firsthand the differences between pilots with civilian versus military backgrounds: The military pilots have had far more structure and guidance in their training, [while] the civilian pilots have, on the whole, far more experience. Another captain suggested some perspective in regard to the allocation of post-Sully glory: We captains have the responsibility and, therefore, deserve the praise or the blame, whatever the outcome. All of the praise for Sully that I've seen is closely followed by praise for the entire crew for the safe evacuation of the passengers. Well done to all, especially the guy who made it all possible by safely landing the thing. We'll give the last word to this brief but enthusiastic pro-Sully comment: I'm sorry, but is it just me or is this guy gorgeous!
2. Gabriel Sherman's chronicle of tensions at Stuyvesant Town (Clash of the Utopias, February 9) also spurred some strong reactions, mostly from the residents. Some complained of onerous rent increases, others of declining service, while one took exception to the trees. I lived with my wife for close to eight years in Stuy Town, and I never felt the environment was stark. The planting of the trees is a joke. I am sure the arborists out there cringed when they saw the plantings. Another tenant stated plainly, Tishman Speyer has made a royal mess of what was formerly a no-frills but decent place to live. But Tishman had its defenders: Greedy.' Scum.' Madoff.' Does anyone here understand how the world works? When you throw out those words about these guys, you diminish their use for real bad guys. These guys bought a real-estate deal that is not working out that well. Everything they did was legal and by the book. Another defender afforded this cold comfort: Eventually tenants will come to know that they could do much worse than having the Speyers as their landlord.
3. Readers hunting for heroes were uniformly inspired by Rebecca Alexander, who is living with Usher syndrome (Going Deaf and Blind in a City of Noise and Lights, by Arianne Cohen, February 9). As Rebecca's friend and classmate at the U of M, I can honestly say that this article does not even begin to describe what a vibrant and inspirational person Rebecca is and has been to her friends and family, wrote one commenter. I am not sure anyone can truly fathom how brave she is, wrote another. She works infinitely harder to see and hear the things that we take entirely for granted. Imagine taping toilet-paper tubes to your eyes, covering them with a darker film, and stuffing your ears with cotton, and then get on the N or R train at rush hour! If Arianne Cohen was frustrated by not being able to get Rebecca to stop and dwell on the bleak future, she's not alone. Rebecca refuses to, because she is too busy doing the things she loves.
4. Perhaps all this heroism is making people soft, but even the economic meltdown seemed slightly less dire of late, at least as chronicled in a web post about Henry Blodget. (Henry Blodget Is Smoking the Hopium! Daily Intel, February 3). Blodget, not normally known for sunny forecasts, had suggested on the blog Clusterstock that the economy is no longer in a free fall. His readers disagreed, arguing that the system is about to collapse, but Blodget assured them that we're all a long way from hunting squirrels in Central Park. On nymag.com, one of our commenters, Hellyeah, responded to Blodget's remark by posting a handy clip-and-save recipe for a squirrel stew, just in case. One instruction read, In a Dutch oven, combine bacon and butter over medium heat until butter melts. Add squirrel and brown. Suddenly, the Apocalypse just got a little bit more tasty.

Freshwater Angelfish
The freshwater Angelfish is a very popular tropical fish because of its unique shape and because of their interesting personalities. Freshwater angelfish are aggressive eaters and will go to the top of the tank when they see you approach. Because of their aggressive feeding habits, make sure that your less aggressive fish are getting their share around feeding time.
Angel fish are curious about their environment and can become very territorial, especially around breeding time. They will pair off and if any other fish tries to enter their territory they will go after them. So use caution when stocking.
Freshwater Angelfish are not picky eaters. They will go after many types of fish food, including vitamin enriched flakes, frozen, freeze dried and live foods.
They prefer tall tanks over short tanks because of their tall body shape.

Freshwater Angelfish Tips
|From: Mark
I bought a small freshwater angel fish (2") at the pet store and I didn't notice until I got home that the fin had been nipped or eaten. Will it grow back?
|Since you did not notice it at first, we are assuming that a very small piece of the fin is missing. Small nips in a fin should grow back provided that you give your Angel fish a good quality diet, provide them with good, frequently changed water in a cycled tank and make sure they are kept with peaceful fish that will not continue the bother (nip at) their fins.
|From: Jimmy D via email
Great fish to have. I have about 22 of them and they are big.
|From: Mike
I have 7 different angel fish in one tank. Are they able breed if they are mixed?
|Sure, provided that you have males and females. Wait and watch your fish as they form pairs when they are ready to breed. Check out the article on breeding angelfish (links above). Be prepared to remove some of them as aggression could become a problem with all these angelfish in one tank.
|From: Sean
What are some sutible tank mates if I wanted to include Angel fish in a community tank?
|Because they are usually very peaceful, there are quite a few freshwater tropical fish you could keep with them. However, they will become territorial if they have formed pairs and are ready to spawn.
Some that would work well: Corydoras, Gouramis (avoid the Kissing Gourami), Plecos, Guppies, Silver Dollars, Platies, Swordtails and Bala Sharks. Freshwater fish that may not do well with your Angels would be the notorious fin nippers, such as Tiger Barbs and some of the tetras if not kept in schools. Keeping only one or two barbs or tetras may bring out the fin nipping behavior.
|From: Jose
If i get a pair of angels do i remove the other fish (Mollies, guppies)?
|It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you are trying to breed the angels then I would say it may be a good idea to remove the other fish or at least put in a tank divider. Angelfish will generally make good community tank mates with mollies and guppies if you just want to add some angels to your tank.
|From: Leslie
I have a fresh water tank with 3 clown loaches who have been in the tank for several weeks. Tonight I bought an angel fish. The gentleman at the pet store said they should be fine together, but every site I have checked hasn't mentioned clown loaches and angel fish together. Do you think these two types of fish will be suitable tank mates?
|Generally, Angels will do fine with clown loaches. Your clown loaches may go after the long fins on the Angels from time to time, but they shouldn't get too aggressive.
|From: Liz
Will angel fish get along with gold fish? I currently have three goldfish (feeder fish) in a 25 gallon tank.
|I wouldn't recommend keeping them together. Especially since feeder goldfish can be loaded with disease problems that you don't want to introduce to your Angelfish. Goldfish will like a colder water temperature than the angelfish as well.
|From: Zero
They are a very impressive in large groups in variety of colors. I say the best looking tropical angel would be the Wild Breed (Silver, Black vertical stripes and red eyes, a.k.a. Silver angelfish) You don't see them very often any more becuase pet stores buy fish from local breeders nowadays instead of being imported. If you see a Silver (Wild) Angelfish that has red eyes, you should purchase it. I got mine at a pet store for 3 bucks it was 2" and now eight months later it is almost 7" inches! The wild angels are a bit more territorial than other angels, and will chase any angels away (except its pair partner) from its spot in the tank, which for mine is inside a sunken ship. The Wild angels are a very elegant and make a great crown jewel of any aquarium.
|From: Agnes Otworowski - Angelfish Behavior
10 hours ago, I bought my first fish for my new 20 gallon aquarium, 7 guppies and 2 swordtails. 2 hours later, I bought 2 angelfish. They have been hiding ever since they arrived in the new aquarium. Sometimes, they come out but they usually return to their hiding spot. What made my angelfish seem so shy? They weren't this scared when they were at the store.
|Woah, this is a lot of fish for 20 gallon tank. This is also a lot of fish to introduce all at once. You will see an ammonia spike in the coming hours. Be ready to do water changes on a regular basis to keep the fish alive as they go through the nitrogen cycle. You have to slowly stock a tank so that the beneficial bacteria can keep up with the demands placed on the system. If you have 2 different sexes of Angelfish you will also see aggression from them when/if they pair off to breed down the road if they make it through the cycle. I'd return the angelfish to the store if you can and pick up some Bio-spira while you are at the store. Also read the article on the nitrogen cycle while you're here on avtoservis-protektor.

'Sixth sense' mum granted dying wish to hear dead son's heart beat one last time
A GRIEVING mum was granted her dying wish when she got to feel her dead son's heart beat again.
Freda Carter had a miracle encounter with transplant patient Scott Rutherford at a memorial service for organ donors and instinctively knew her son's heart was beating inside him.
The 66-year-old said: "Scott was reading a tribute and when I sat down and turned the page on the order of service and saw his name there a strange feeling came over me.
"I knew he was the recipient of John's heart.
"It was irrational as Scott is a common name and he could have been anywhere in the country.
"But I was completely hysterical. I couldn't breathe and started making a massive scene.
"Call it a sixth sense, or mother's instinct, but I just knew — I turned to my husband and said, 'He has got our John's heart'.
"I was crying and everyone started to stare over at us.
"I have always said since John passed away that my dying wish, the one thing I wanted to do in life was to meet the boy who got his heart and to feel our John's beat again."
"Call it a sixth sense, or mother's instinct, but I just knew "Freda Carter
John Carter, 33, who worked as a spray painter, tragically passed away in 2008 after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
His his devastated family took the brave decision to donate his organs to help others.
John's mum Freda, along with dad John, widow Andrea, 37, and sister Julie, 43, agreed that his kidneys, liver and heart should be passed on to needy recipients after he died.
The family, from Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, had always wanted to meet the person who had been given John's heart but strict hospital rules forbid this unless the recipient specifically requests it of their own accord.
All they knew was that the man whose life had been saved by their son was called Scott and had been 14 when the transplant took place.
But then in an incredible coincidence, at the memorial service in November, Freda and John met recipient Scott, now 20.
Nurses who were sitting at the rear of the Parish of St George in Jesmond, Newcastle, quickly realised Freda was upset and brought her to the back of the church.
They sat and listened to Scott sing a rendition of I Dreamed a Dream from musical Les Misérables before he then went on to speak about how his life was saved at 14 year's old when he received a heart from a man named John.
Freda's instinct was then confirmed.
She was so desperate to meet Scott that nurses who were present took the unusual decision to ask him after checking things over with the Freeman Hospital, where he had received his heart.
Scott agreed and at the end of the service, Freda embraced him and got to put her hand on his chest to feel her son's heartbeat once again.
Freda, a retired carer, said: "I was gob smacked, Scott came up to me and opened his arms and gave me a huge hug.
"He said he would be eternally grateful for what we have done for him. I asked him if I could feel John's heart beat and he let me. It was all I wanted."
Dad John, a 70-year-old retired engineer, added: "We are over the moon for Scott, John lives on through him. He isn't dead really."
Scott was born with a disorder called transposition of the great arteries which means his arteries were the wrong way round.
When he received John's heart he was just hours away from death.
With the help of John's heart, talented Scott, from North Shields, was able to pursue his dream of studying performing arts and went on to graduate from Newcastle college with a distinction.
Scott added: "The day when we met was unbelievable, it was some sort of miracle. I felt like I was in a film."
After the emotional church meeting, Scott kept in touch with John's family by phone and letter and they hope to meet up again soon.
Relationships between families of donors and recipients are carefully managed and they have been advised to take things slowly.
Hospital transplant co-ordinator Lynn Holt said: "Meetings are usually done through an arranged visit, and it always has to be instigated by the recipient. This case is a one-off – it's amazing.
"I know Scott was so happy that he got to meet the family, he was over the moon."

Over the last couple of months, the world of 3D movies and TV has taken huge strides forward. The world's first real 3D-ready TV's have been launched as well as movies such as Avatar 3D taking it to the big screen in a hugely successful way. Well here's a promising addition to the ongoing saga. The Sony BDP-S470 3D Blu-Ray Player. First shown at CES, the 3D-ready, Blu-Ray Player will be capable of playing 3D-ready Blu-Ray movies without any firmware updates. Talking of firmware updates, PS3 users are still waiting on their 3D update for the Playstation 3 console. Is this a step in the right direction as far as gaming as well as movies is concerned?
One of Sony's biggest targets this year has clearly been to maintain the quality design of all of their products. This device does indeed continue that trend. Though minimalistic aesthetically, it is sure to be a perfect match for almost nay home theater set up due to the plain yet sleek design. As with the Sony BRAVIA 3DTVs also announced at CES, it follows the "monolithic design concept" which they say is a key feature of their home entertainment products for 2010.
In terms of features it has pretty much all that you would expect from such a device, plus a little bit extra. Obviously the key feature is the playback of 3D movies as well as the usual methods of playback from ordinary Blu-Ray players. As well as playing from optical media, the device is capable of playing back content from USB connected devices such as external drives, as well as streaming them across a network through the built in wireless connectivity.
For those of you with an iPhone or iPod Touch (or dare I say even an Apple iPad in future?), there's an exclusive app available free from the app store which allows you to remotely control your content from the comfort of your arm chair. However, don't fret if you have none of the above, as it also comes with a good old fashioned remote control to add to your collection!
So there we are. Apart from being a fantastic and stylish 3D/HD Blu-Ray player, the Sony BDP-S470 3D Blu-Ray Player is also packed with a whole host of other features which enhance the capabilities of your home theater system. It retails for a fairly modest $200 which will probably be around £200 once the taxes have been slapped upon it much to the dismay of every potential buyer.

Take a bowl with some water in it. Now add two table spoons of vinegar in it. Put the vegetables in this bowl for 30 seconds. The vegetables are preserved now. These vegetables can be stored for a longer period.
How to use onion in salad if it is too sharp in taste:
If an onion is too sharp in taste, wash, drain and toss into some beaten curd. Add a dash of salt and pepper, it becomes a tasty raitha.
How to retain green color of peas etc. while boiling in water:
Add a pinch of soda bicarb to the water to boil peas etc. faster and also to retain their bright green colour.
How to manage smells of foods in the fridge:
Place a tsp. of soda bicarb in a corner of the fridge in a small crucible. This will keep smells of foods in the fridge from permeating each other.
Important tip for lunch boxes:
Rub a piece of lime (used) inside the lunch box to get rid of strong odours (like garlic) before rinsing off.
Kitchen Scissors:
Always use a clean pair of kitchen scissors to trim edges of bread. Much neater and less messy edges as compared to those trimmed with a knife.
How to clean mirrors:
Wipe mirrors first with pieces of moist newspaper and then with dry newspaper to get a clean, spotless mirror.
In case oil begins to foam on heating:
Sometimes oil begins to foam on heating to deep fry and rises dangerously in the pan. To dissipate the foam add a marble sized ball of tamarind to the oil.
How to reheat fried snacks:
Use tissue papers for reheating fried snacks. Eg. samosa, vada, kachori, bhajji, etc. The paper will absorb the excess oil and moisture and keep the snack crisp. Reheat on high for 1-1 1/2 minute.
How to prevent egg shells from cracking:
To prevent egg shells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling.
Determining the egg whether it is fresh or not:
To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool, salted water. If it sinks, it is fresh-if it rises to the surface, throw it away.
Over-salt dish:
If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato-it absorbs the excess salt for an instant "fix me up."

Jim Carlton in his book has documented Apple's first foolish attempt between 1986 and 1989 that ended up flushing down the drain $20 million as follows:
...an Advanced Technology Group engineer named Sam Holland, who in 1986 convinced Gassee that Apple should design its own microprocessor chips.The italics emphasis is mine.
Believing that Gassee and the engineers knew best, Sculley gave Aquarius his unequivocal support, to the extend that he even bought the engineers a $15 million Cray supercomputer they could use to perform their design work on.
The underlying motivation behind the Aquarius project was Apple's fear that the Motorola line of microprocessors that it was dependent on would soon run out of steam and be surpassed by the rival line from Intel.
Holland proposed that Apple design not only a new chip but one that would incorporate four microprocessors onto a single piece of silicon.
The only problem was that this had never been attempted before in a computer as small as a desktop.
"Aquarius was an example of the willingness of the top management of Apple to embark on grand projects that skilled technical management would have known was unfeasible," Alcorn [Al Alcorn was an Apple Fellow] says.
The project was shut down after a chip expert called Hugh Martin was recruited to help with the Aquarius project and this exchange between him and Sculley led to the cancellation of this bold & foolish attempt:
"He said, 'What do you think about Aquarius?", Martin recalls. "I said, John, that's ridiculous. Apple has no fab or chip experience. How do you compete with Intel and Motorola?"Within 6 month after that conversation, the project was canceled.
Let's hope Apple management can still remember this secret project and learn from the history. Now Motorola is effectively out of the contention and Martin's question to Apple in 1989 was as appropriate to Apple as it is now, except that you can substitute Motorola with AMD.

UPDATE: Three victims have been named. Click here for more...
More bodies may be found as investigators and emergency services continue to search the scene of the Shoreham Airshow plane crash, police said. Seven people died when an historic Hawker Hunter fighter jet plummeted on to the A27 at Shoreham in West Sussex after failing to pull out of a loop manoeuvre.
More bodies may be found as investigators and emergency services continue to search the scene of the Shoreham Airshow plane crash, police said.
Seven people died when an historic Hawker Hunter fighter jet plummeted on to the A27 at Shoreham in West Sussex after failing to pull out of a loop manoeuvre.
He was named in reports as Andy Hill, a former RAF pilot.
A further 14 people were injured, four of whom were taken to hospital, after the jet crashed at around 1.20pm on Saturday, shortly after beginning its display in front of thousands of spectators.
Horrified onlookers described seeing the plane flying low to the ground followed by a "huge ball of fire and black smoke".
Supt Derrick said: "Sadly we believe that seven people have lost their lives today when the jet crashed.
"As far as we are aware all those who sadly lost their lives were on the road, and it was nobody within the air show perimeter on the actual airport.
"At this time we are continuing to search ... the area to ensure that we have identified all the casualties.
"It is possible that tonight and tomorrow we are going to find more bodies at the scene."
Supt Derrick would not comment on earlier speculation that the dead included two cyclists, but said there were "a number of people and bikes at the scene and the officers are working through that at the moment".
She was also unable to say whether the pilot was able to eject. One of those injured was released from hospital last night.
David Cameron sent his "heartfelt condolences" to the families of those who died in the crash.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "The Prime Minister sends his heartfelt condolences to the families of the people who were so tragically killed after a jet crashed into several vehicles in West Sussex.
"The Prime Minister's thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the victims."
Today's airshow has been cancelled as a mark of respect, organisers said.
Photographs taken by witnesses showed the burning aircraft ploughing across the busy road just yards from cars and a group of people, its cockpit canopy open and wing ablaze, engulfing traffic lights, roadwork cones and signs in a huge ball of fire.
Burning debris was also visible high in the air.
One of the vehicles caught up in the tragedy was a wedding car on its way to pick up a bride to take her to her wedding, the Sun on Sunday reported.
The Daimler, which had its roof ripped off by the impact, belonged to Chariot Chauffeurs, with the company's Jay Sherwin telling the paper: "I can confirm that it is one of our cars but at this stage I do not know what happened to the driver."
Splash FM presenter Laura Raymond said the accident happened less than a quarter of a mile from where spectators were watching the event.
She said a "couple of planes" were taking part in a jet display when one appeared to fly too close to the ground before onlookers saw a "huge ball of fire and black smoke".
She told Sky News: "We were watching the displays ... and the fast jets were going on.
"Within seconds we were thinking, 'gosh, that plane is going rather low'. There was a ball of fire, we didn't even hear an impact, and then plumes of black smoke."
Royal Air Forces Association secretary general Nick Bunting said their thoughts were with those affected by the accident and it was "too early to speculate" about the future of the event.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) is now leading the investigation into the cause of the crash, with a spokesman saying it had a team on site.
The crash damaged the A27 and Highways England said it would remain closed until at least 6am on Monday.
Tim Loughton, Conservative MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, said: "Given the many thousands of people attending the airshow we thank God that the aircraft did not hit a larger crowd. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected."
It is the second tragic incident at the Shoreham Airshow in recent years.
In September 2007 James Bond stuntman Brian Brown, 49, died when he crashed a Second World War Hurricane after carrying out an unplanned barrel roll at a Battle of Britain re-enactment.
Anyone with video or photos of the incident has been asked to email firstname.lastname@example.com to advise police what footage they have. Officers will then ask for images to be sent if they wish to see them.

gay lol i must be getting old i still say queer.
Actually there's a good un, gay in my mind means happy. queer means queer but i expect its one of those words that has changed over time.
Definitely a game.
Just like darts is a game.
Always cracks me up when I hear Phil Taylor is hitting the gym
Cracked me up last night when i read Taylor said darts was a game because of the tax he pays and what game pays that much or words to that effect. Plonker has never heard of poker!

PRTODAY - Newswire & PRZOOM/ -
Lynwood, WA, United States, 08/19/2015 - GTS Distribution and trading card manufacturer have entered into an agreement making GTS Distribution the exclusive wholesale supplier of 2015 Donruss Football cards.
Headquartered in Lynnwood, WA, GTS Distribution announced this past week that it has entered into an agreement to be the exclusive U.S. hobby distributor for 2015 Donruss Football cards. GTS Distribution formed a strategic partnership with trading card manufacturer Panini America of Irving, Texas to secure the exclusive distribution rights to what is expected to be a big hit with NFL trading card collectors.
GTS Distribution Vice President of Sales, David Reel expressed why this arrangement was a good fit. The job of every distributor is to bring value to the (trading card) manufacturer. With our marketing capabilities and numerous distribution channels, it was a situation where everything aligned in a manner to make it a win-win for each company.
The Donruss brand has a rich history in the category and is an important part of the Panini lineup. Were happy to partner with GTS to bring Donruss to the hobby channel, said Panini Director of Hobby Sales Kevin Haake.
The debut of 2015 Donruss Football from Panini America is scheduled for release at hobby shops across the country September 2nd, 2015.
The partnership between manufacturers and distributors in the hobby has never been more important. By building these relationships, collectors benefit in the form of easy access to product, better education and most importantly, exclusive content.
Retailers in turn benefit by seeing an increase in store traffic and a growing interest by, not only existing collectors, but returning and non-collectors in todays product offerings. By investing in these types of partnerships, GTS contributes to the health of the hobby and exhibits a commitment to retailers in a way few other distributors can.
Recently, at the 2015 National Sports Collectors Convention, GTS Distributions Vice President of Sales, David Reel, discussed how these strategic partnerships came to fruition and their impact on the hobby market and their benefit for collectors.

Hartford, Conn. - Two of Trinity College's four shots went in and junior goalkeeper Julia Pitino (Littleton, Mass.) made 11 saves to set a new Bantam single-season shutout record with her ninth of the year, as the Trinity women's soccer team blanked the visiting Connecticut College Camels, 2-0, in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) women's soccer action this afternoon. Trinity, ranked No. 5 in New England, improves to 10-2-2 overall with its second straight victory, and the Camels, ranked No. 7 in the region, drop to 9-4 overall and 4-4 in the league with their third setback in a row.
Just a single shot-on-goal was taken and none by the Bantams before sophomore Shannon Kennedy (Hartford, Conn.) scored her first career goal on her first shot of the season from the right side after a pass out of the box by first-year forward Grace Chalmers (Irvine, Calif.) in the 24th minute of play. Another offensive dry spell followed with no shots on goal taken until Trinity sophomore forward Taylor Kirchgessner (Southampton, N.Y.) found the upper left corner of the net from the top of the box to give Trinity a 2-0 lead just over 10 minutes later. Bantam senior tri-captain Sheena Landy (Durham, Conn.) assisted on the play from the back line.
Pitino made 10 of her career-high 11 stops after the break, including one on a long blast from beyond the 50 by Camel junior back Alex Bukovac (Winnetka, Ill.) that she was barely able to knock over the cross bar before it crossed the line over her head on a high bounce. Pitino sets the Trinity shutout record three days after tying it with a 2-0 clean sheet against Tufts, breaking the previous mark of eight set by Monica DiFiori '16 just last fall. Connecticut College senior goalkeeper Bryanna Montalvo (Rocky Hill, Conn.) did not make a save, as the Camels outshot the Bantams, 16-4, and did not yield a single shot after intermission.
Camel Tracks-Not Including Tuesday's Action
Connecticut College junior midfielder Lauren Steele (Westford, Mass.) scored twice in a 1-2 week for her team. Steele scored in the opening minute of a 2-1 loss to Amherst Sunday. She scored a first half goal in a 5-0 victory against Brooklyn Monday. Sophomore Alex Baltazar (Ludlow, Mass.) had a goal and two assists this week and ranks third in the NESCAC with her eight goals and 20 points while ranking seventh in the conference with her four assists.
Junior Michelle Medina (Hartford, Conn.) sits atop the NESCAC with her eight assists and has scored twice for a total of 12 points. Junior Bryanna Montalvo (Rocky Hill, Conn.) has registered three shutouts this fall in seven starts.

I'm back, baby! Happy Halloween!
Well, it's been a month, and I'm feeling about ready to get back into the habit of posting again. I'm doing a lot better now; not up to 100%, but getting there.
Anyway, while I was on my break, I had a great idea: Why not do a series of 13 posts, one per day, sharing creepy, Halloween-related, or just plain weird things related to comics, movies, and other pop cultural things I like talking about on my blog? Great way to motivate myself to write a bit more often, right?
Unfortunately, I only thought of it three days ago.
So instead of counting down to All Hallow's Eve, I've decided to start on the 31st and keep going from there. Stretch the season out by two weeks or so. It'll be like the Twelve Days of Christmas, only spookier!

Since it's going to take me a little while to plan this whole thing out, all I have to share today is a sketch I drew a few years ago when I still had a working scanner. I promise that most of the posts I write from here on out won't be this self-indulgent.
Beastie by ~Filby on deviantART
For a short while in my adolescence, I was a fan of Changeling: The Dreaming, a role-playing game published by White Wolf Game Studio as part of their World of Darkness line (which also included Vampire: The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, and a half dozen other games titled Noun: The Noun). Unlike the other games, though, Changeling had a much more pronounced sense of idealism, even whimsy, though it still had its fair share of things that go bump in the night.
The idea of the game was that the players were fairies* disguised as humans, trying to fight off the banality of the modern world lest they fade away. Players were given a variety of different types of fairies to play as, from the beautiful Sidhe and mighty Trolls to the inventive Nockers and vicious Redcaps; fairies of all types were aligned with one of two Courts: the haughty yet benevolent Seelie or the cold and amoral Unseelie. One of the fairy types, or "kith" as they were called, associated with the Unseelie were the Beasties, who thrived on the fear of little children. The bogeymen, the monster in the closet, whatever you want to call them.
Beasties come in all shapes and sizes - anything that anyone would find scary, really. The one I drew was supposed to look sort of like a corrupted stuffed animal, a teddy bear gone bad. You can probably tell I saw Gremlins (which I may or may not also end up posting about) before drawing it.
Since I drew this, Changeling: The Dreaming has been discontinued and I've drifted away from RPGs, but I still like this piece. I'm not a terrific artist by any stretch, but I think I did a fair job at making it look good 'n' creepy.
That's it for now. Watch this space!
*I refuse to say "faeries". It's trendy, yeah, but it misses the point that fairies were supposed to be downright dangerous, and that calling them "fair" was supposed to be a way to get on their good side and keep them from spoiling your crop, poisoning your livestock... or abducting your children.

BOO! The 13 Posts of Halloween

Oh, and while I'm here.
Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been kinda depressed lately and my devotion to a lot of my hobbies and interests has waned. I wish I could guarantee more frequent posts, but, well, I've always done this blogging thing for myself alone and I don't believe in posting just so I can I say I posted something. Luckily my "audience" such as it is is small enough (like, four?) to get away with it.
So yeah. I'm still around, I'm doing okay, kinda busy with school and job hunting. Just checking in.

NBA Daily Fantasy Helper: Thursday 4/23/15
If you've never played daily fantasy basketball before, it's time to start. Unlike traditional leagues, you're able to select the players you want on that specific day only, giving you a different squad to root for each and every NBA night.
And while there are many platforms to play daily fantasy basketball on, one of our favorites is from our partners over at DraftKings.com. Never played over there before? It's time for that to change. Sign up now and use our optimal lineups here at numberFire.com to crush the competition. You won't regret it.
As for today's lineups -- those can be found here. The information below is to help you understand why particular players are being picked, because we don't want you going into the night completely blind. We want to help you. Keep in mind, however, that things often change up until tip-off, so make sure you're refreshing the optimal lineups as close to the start of games as possible.
Note: Players mentioned here may not be part of some of our daily lineups because of particular sites' cost analysis. Always look at our optimized lineups to see what our algorithms say.
The Best of the Best
Stephen Curry - Curry has gotten off to a hot start through the first two games of the playoffs. He's averaged 28 points, 5.5 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals in 38.5 minutes per game so far this series and should be in for another heavy workload tonight as the series shifts to New Orleans. With the Warriors on the road, this game is expected to be a highly competitive, fast-paced, high-scoring affair between two teams who like to get up and down the floor. Expect the Warriors' star to see a bump in his 28.4% usage rate and to play minutes in the upper 30s for the third straight game. Curry is our number one overall projected guard on the board tonight.
Pau Gasol - With Nikola Mirotic already ruled out for Game 3 against the Bucks, the Bulls' will be forced to lean more heavily on their other big men and Gasol is the biggest beneficiary. Gaol has averaged just 10.5 points in 34 minutes per game so far this series, but has also added 14.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.5 blocks per game and should see a significant bump in playing time tonight. The Bulls' forward was dominant early in the season before Mirotic burst onto the scene and I expect him to return to that form tonight.
Top Mid-Range Values
Derrick Rose - Despite concerns that he would never return to MVP form following several knee injuries, Rose has been nothing short of spectacular in the first two games of this series. The Bulls' star has posted 19 points, 8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and a block per game so far this series and is coming off of a 38-minute outing in Game 2. Although it shouldn't have much of an effect on his playing time, Rose could see a boost in usage rate with Mirotic sidelined -- especially in the fourth quarter -- and should continue to take advantage of a mismatch with Michael Carter-Williams. The Bulls' floor general is dollar for dollar my favorite play on the board tonight.
Draymond Green - David Lee has yet to suit up this postseason which means Green has been forced into a massive workload so far this series. Green has averaged 14.5 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 2.5 steals and 2 blocks in 42 minutes per game through the first two games against the Pelicans and has actually done an outstanding job keeping Anthony Davis in check on the defensive end. The Warriors' emotional leader will likely come into tonight with a chip on his shoulder after being snubbed for Defensive Player of the Year and should have a few blocks and steals to go along with another impressive double-double tonight. He makes a spectacular play in all formats tonight as his price tag is still below $8,000 on both FanDuel and DraftKings.
Basement Ballers
Quincy Pondexter - Although he is coming off of a disappointing performance in Game 2 against Golden State, Pondexter is still one of the best value plays on the board tonight. He's averaging 33.5 minutes per game so far this series and -- despite shooting an abysmal 1-8 from the field on Monday -- has found ways to contribute without the basketball, averaging 6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3 steals per game through his first two postseason games. Look for the Pelicans' swing man to see minutes in the 30s for the third consecutive game and for him to greatly improve on his shooting from a game ago. He makes a solid value play at $5,300 on DraftKings, but is an absolute steal at $4,200 on FanDuel.
John Henson - Henson has provided a good spark for the Bucks off the bench early on in their first round matchup wit the Bulls. He's averaged 10 points, 6.5 rebounds, a steal and a block in 25.5 minutes per game and should see a similar workload tonight in Game 3. Role players always seem to perform better at home compared to on the road, so Henson could be in store for a very productive game tonight despite his limited playing time and should return great value at just $4,400 on FanDuel and $4,000 on DraftKings.

Camp Overview
Amplify Life Fall WORKS!
A Pre-vocational Transition Camp!
October 1 - 5, 2018 8:30 am - 4:00 pm daily
COST: Free to qualified participants
As we near young adulthood, we all reach a time in life where we begin to think about our future. What does life beyond high school look like? Can I or should I attend college? Will I be able to get a job? What kind of job is right for me? How do I apply?
Most of us come to a crossroad where we begin to contemplate the future. This can be perplexing for anyone. However, to someone with a disability, these questions may not easily be answered. Times of transition can be confusing, and for a parent of a special needs child, this can be particularly concerning.
Perhaps, opportunity does not even seem within reach to an individual with a disability or the family who loves them. Amplify Life WORKS! is centered around the concept of allowing the disabled individual and their family to envision a typical life. The heart of the program focuses on making this vision a reality.
What is Amplify Life WORKS!
It is a transitional camp designed to empower the disabled student, by providing insight, knowledge, and tools to help prepare them to embrace their future and navigate young adulthood.
The program focuses on academic enrichment and opportunity, socialization, independent living skills, including self-advocacy skills, and integrated work experiences and career skills that lead to gainful employment.
Who is Amplify Life WORKS! for?
Young adults with special needs who are interested in working or exploring continuing education opportunities in their community. Amplify Life WORKS! is geared toward middle school and high school students, as well as recent graduates seeking to transition to the workplace. They are ages 14 through 22, and fit into a minimum of a 1:4 counselor to student ratio.
What will I learn?
Amplify Life Spring 2 WORKS! is a one-week Day Camp, delivered in a small setting of 18 participants. Curriculum is delivered in structured daily activity-based modules. The interactive program features guest speakers, community field trips to job shadow, and business tours to learn about different job opportunities. Also included are visits to the University of Nevada, Reno and TMCC, to explore continuing education opportunities, campus life, and study support services.
Program Specifics
Amplify Life Spring 2 WORKS! Transition Day Camp:
October 1 - 5; Monday through Friday - 9:00 am to 4:00 pm daily
Daily drop off and pick is at the Amplify Life Program Center, 480 Galletti Way, Bldg. 2, Sparks, NV 89431
We transport campers on field trips
We provide breakfast, lunch, snacks, and refreshments
Participants attend an awards luncheon at the conclusion of the program, where they receive a certificate of completion
Amplify Life Fall WORKS! is free to registered participants. Space is limited.
To register or learn more, please call our office at 775-827-3866.
About Amplify Life
Amplify Life has decades of hands-on-experience working with the disabled. We are highly seasoned in supporting our special needs friends through a variety of educational and recreational programs. We recognize the challenges that exist for someone with a disability and we are committed to empowering our clients to live full lives and educating the community to embrace them. That is why our foray into the transitional space is a natural progression for us.
Amplify Life Fall WORKS! is made available thanks to a generous grant from the State of Nevada. Department of Employment, Training, and Rehabilitation (DETR).

Corporation tax: Recovery of debts from dormant companies
Dormant cases
Definition of dormancyA company is dormant when it
- does not receive any profits or income
- holds no assets capable of producing any profits or income or
- has assets that are unlikely to produce profits and income in the near future.Further details can be found in the COTAX Manual.
Recovery actionIf you are aware that a company is dormant and debts remain outstanding from the pre- dormancy period, then
- complete a pre-enforcement check to establish whether there are any assets
- ensure a dormancy date is present, and
- contact any directors for payment.If payment is not received and assets are held then take the appropriate enforcement action (as the company is not trading, summary proceedings cannot be taken).
(This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)
Company becomes dormant during recovery actionIf you are made aware that a company is dormant whilst you are pursuing a debt
- obtain the date of dormancy and
- request that an officer of the company provides a signed confirmation that the company did not trade in the period relating to the debt.
Debt arises after dormancyIf the debt has arisen after the date it was made dormant
- check that the record correctly reflects the status of the company and
ask the assessing / compliance office to confirm whether the debt should be pursued (see COM-Companies Outside the Charge to CT).If the record does not show that the company is dormant then
- send the details (and the signed confirmation where obtained) to the assessing / compliance office and where necessary,
- ask them to correct the record.

The Grenadine Islands are volcanic in origin, they have lush green mountains and plenty of deep water anchorages. One island is special though, it wasn't built by fire and brimstone, it was hand made out in the middle of the bay on Union Island. Welcome to Happy Island.
If you've been to the town of Clifton on Union Island and gazed out into the harbor you probably saw an little spit of land. That little spit is Happy Island. The happiest place in the Grenadines? It's possible, when the rum drinks start flowing and RumShopRyan is the house, happy times are a certainty. Just ask the Bama Babes!
The story of Happy Island is a fascinating one. Created by one man, Janti, Happy Island started out as just a pile of conch shells (lambi) put out into a shallow area in Clifton Harbor. Over the years Janit continued to add conch shells and sand until he had a mound big enough to put up a small bar. People loved the idea and Janti continued to grow his island. During our visit Janti gave us a tour and it's quite amazing to see what has been created. Happy Island has growing coconut palms, sand floors, dinghy landing areas, inside and outside sitting areas, working refrigerator and enough Caribbean rum to sauce even the most experienced of sailors. Pretty amazing what a little concrete, conch shells and some hard work can do. Janti now lives on Happy Island, he has built living quarters and all electricity is created right on site.
Okay, so the man has created his own island, a pretty impressive accomplishment, but can he make a top notch rum punch? Yes, yes he can. The Diamant gang ordered a few rounds of Happy Island rum punch, sat outside and limed away the minutes. My only complaint, I wish I had more time there. Hmmm, maybe a move to Union Island would fix that problem. Totally could happen.
If you ever find you're self vacationing or adrift in the Grenadine Islands, make your way to Clifton on Union Island. Dinghy up to Happy Island and tell Janti that Mr. RumShopRyan said this place was a must see. He won't remember me, but I will make me feel special. In fact it's not just a must see if you're in the Grenadines, I would say that it's a must see in all the Caribbean. Honestly, there's nothing else like quite like it.
Have been to Happy Island? I would love to hear about your happy happy good time.

Yes, school did let out almost a month ago.
Yes, I'm almost a month late posting this.
It may be that I've been oober busy,

and eating my cookies.
Either way, third grade is officially over for the Libster.
Here are some year-end thought from the girl who made me a mom:
Oh, how I love this daughter of mine.
Wanna see how much she's grown?

Month: November 2006
I'll moon it!!
Today just wasn't my day. I play pitch everyday at lunch with a bunch of buddies I work with. I just started playing maybe a month or two ago, but have had some of my best memories I'll take with me from Maytag. This place is full of good people, but nothing brings out the personalities of your friends then competing against them in something like cards everyday. I enjoy playing cards anyways. I have some great memories from when I started playing pitch with the boys on the way to HS baseball games. We played everything from 4 to 7 to 10 point. I had some long expensive nights playing poker in the dorms with the older guys my freshman year of college. One of my best friends came from that group of guys. When we first started working at Maytag we had a weekly poker night where we played Texas Hold'em and traded money with each other. Most recently I taught my girlfriend and a couple we hang out with the game of Eucre. Another classic that I picked up from college baseball. My main point of this is, how fun it can be playing cards with your friends. It gives me the chance to be competitive and have fun doing it. It is also one of those things that comes easy to me. I enjoy numbers and odds, and trying to use them to my advantage. I think I got that from my dad. He was the one that always helped me with my math homework when I was growing up. He also plays cards every Wednesday with his friends. I tried to play with them one night and realized pretty quickly that I wasn't up to par on their games, but also that my dad was pretty good.
I also enjoy gambling on cards at the casino. I'm a huge fan of blackjack. I've figured out a way to make the odds a little closer to even. This doesn't mean that I always win, but I enjoy having a big day every now and then, when my girlfriend allows me to go. I'm a $150 win streak for the last 2 times I've gone. I can't remember 3 times ago, but I probably lost. I've competed in one Texas Hold'em tournament that had a $50 buy in. I ended up getting 6th and winning ~$300. I think it was begginners luck, because I don't usually have that much luck playing hold'em at the casino.
I also enjoy card tricks. I've picked up a few tricks from my dad that always awe a crowd. I'm always trying to pick up more though.
Storm Women
So I'm about the most pumped I've been for a volleyball game. The Simpson Volleyball team is playing Maryville (TN) @ Wash U in the STL (wow, a lot of abbrv.). They won both the regular season conference and the conference tournament. Which I have to make sure I note they FTD twice. Swept them both times. I was there for both of them it was awesome!! I'm trying to figure out if there is going to be a webcast for the game. I wish I could've gone, but it didn't work out with my jobs. So hopefully they win the region, then maybe they'll get to host something down the road. I also wanted to mention that I was reading the press release on their website and their coach said a couple things that I wouldn't necessarily want posted on the web. Tell me if you would want your name next this statement… "I joked about playing big corn-fed girls from the Midwest and — and they really are good-sized girls out there — but the other coaches laughed…". I'll be honest with you, I've seen these girls and they may be tall but I wouldn't go as far to say they are "big corn-fed girls".
While we're on the subject of volleyball, my sister finished her first season as a head coach for the Eagle Grove (IA) Eagles Volleyball team. They didn't quite qualify for the National Tournament, but they had a good season. I'm really proud of my sister and what she's done as a coach and person. It can be hard to walk into that situation, but she tackled it the best way possible. So best of luck to her, maybe some of the Eagles will be playing for the Storm in the future.
Back to Simpson women's athletics. The women's soccer team won conference this year and had a player named MVP of the IIAC. The coach also got coach of the year.
So I'm looking forward to a good year in women's athletics at Simpson.
Britney finally gave the ax to Kevin. This is something people thought she would have done a long time ago, but it's got to make you wonder why thinks worked for so long and why they ended with this timing. This could kill Kevin's music career, I'm not sure he had too much of a chance to start with. I have listened to his new cd and it's not bad, but now he has even more cards stacked against him, losing Brit's fan base. I'm not sure who's left to like him, the people that didn't like Brit are gone and the people that don't like Brit are gone, so I guess it's up to the poeple that have never heard of him, but decide they like his music.
Anyways, why does everybody, including myself, get so caught up in pop culture. Maybe it's because we wish we could live that lifestyle or because we haven't gotten tired of hearing about them, since we never run into many famous people in Iowa. After reading up on what happens to these people on a daily basis, I'm glad I don't live like them. Maybe I could just be one of those famous people that isn't too famous and nobody recognizes, so that I could have the benefits, but now the downfalls. I know there are more important things than being rich and famous, but everyone would enjoy it to an extent.
There are a few different places I read up on celebs at. The first and best place is TMZ. This place usually is the first to report anything. Others include People and E! of course, but another one that I get a kick out of is TheSmokingGun. This place has all the documentation to prove the most recent news that has been reported, which most recently includes proof that Brit and Kevin married on a different day then they told everyone. But their claim to fame is the mug shots of celebs and things they require backstage at shows.
So if you thought you were up to date by reading the today section of the Des Moines Register, you're wrong, check out a few of these places, but don't get hooked .
I've already explained some of the personal meaning this number has to me, but I also wanted to throw out some facts about the number. Including all the great athletes that have worn it.
There are a ton of interesting facts here, but I just wanted to pick out a few. Diecinueve is the 8th smallest prime number. XIX is also the atomic number of potassium. I just read that the New General Catalogue object NGC19 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Andromeda. Interesting enough, my initials are NGC. I'm going to have to look into this a little more sometime.
Among the great athletes to wear this number are Tony Gwynn, Robin Yount, Bob Feller, Joe Montana, Johnny Unitas, Lance Alworth, Bernie Kosar, Willis Reed (NBA), Lenny Wilkens(NBA), Don Nelson (NBA). And more recently Keyshawn Johnson, Michael Bush (Louisville Runningback), Lionel Messi (international soccer player-Barcelona & Argentina). Some of my personal favorites are Juan Gonzalez and Robin Ventura.
Just incase you didn't figure it out the number was 19.
MySpace vs Facebook
I'm sure everyone has atleast heard of these to web giants right now. The debate comes to whether or not these sites give information out too freely or if they are a gateway for "bad things" to happen with younger users. I have accounts with both and would be confident in saying that you are in control of how much info is out there. Both sites do a good job of regulating thinks to a certain point so that you don't accidently put information that you don't want seen. Many people complain about the new features that FaceBook added which provide updates to friends on what is going on with your profile. Each of these features can be limited or disabled, so it's kind of silly for someone to complain. This is one of the features that I think makes FaceBook better than MySpace. I'm also partial to the way that it networks your friends and makes searching a little easier, among other things.
I really have enjoyed both sites for the fact that I have been able to keep in touch with high school friends that I haven't talked to in 10 years. This is by far the biggest reason that everyone should join. I would have to say that the quizes get a little old, but the customizations of the site can show your creative side. Feel free to add me and mention that you read about it from my blog. The links are off to the right.
So what other sites like this are out there? I've recently joined TagWorld, it is very similar, but near as popular yet. If you're interested in soccer at all, Nike & Google have put together a pretty nice soccer version called Joga. The one that I have most recently looked into is WAYN. This site uses your geographical location and the trips you are making to associate people together. Kind of an interesting idea, when people travel and move so much. Lastly is LinkedIn. This is a site for networking from the business side. Where employees can find other employees they work with to use for references and information on other jobs or companies. Again I haven't dug to deep yet, but I'm sure I will be here in a month or two when I get into the job hunt a little more.
So why didn't somebody think of this years ago. I mean chat rooms have been popular forever. I wish I was Mr. MySpace right now. Someday I'm going stumble across, the thing that makes my millions.
Signed In (Away)
So I'm trying to develop a new webpage, but I keep on getting distracted by other stuff. Does anybody else find it hard to concentrate on one thing when their sitting in front of their computer. I have 3 instant messanger programs going, atleast 3 email addresses I receive email on, then MySpace & FaceBook which are as addicting as crack. Let alone I'm trying to stay up on this blog thing and my gf keeps texting me on my cell. I guess it's just a sign of the times, that technology has made people so readily available. I guess I don't really mind, but my webpage is falling behind. Enough ranting about that.
There are a ton of other cool things technology wise that keep my away from the work I want to do. Here are a few, let me know in your comments if you have any others. The first 3 sites were recommended by my buddy G. He and I are co-workers in the IT department.
LifeHacker – this site has all kinds of tricks and kinds of software to make things easier.
Engadget – a cool site with all the newest in technology gadgets. I really shouldn't be looking at this site, cause I love gadgets.
FatWallet – the place to go to find deals on the coolest gadgets, and anything else as far as that goes, you need cheap toilet paper in Texas, look here first.
Slashdot – News for Nerds, enough said.
There's a few other's I go to, but I can't think of them. If you ever need to know how to fix something, be sure to do a search on Google or the site for the source of your problem. I'm sure somebody out there has had the same problem before. Even though sometimes we feel like we have to of been the first. This will save your uncles, brother's, nephew's friend that works on computers some time if you can solve it on your own, trust me.
Google, is a whole other topic I'll have to discuss some other time. I love that place. They have done some incredible things and I'm looking forward to what they have up their sleeves.
Everybody has different taste in music and different reasons they listen to it. Music has a huge influence on my life. I could listen to music all the time. I enjoy rap, hip-hop & R&B the most. I use it for different reasons. First of all is the mood it can get me in. Whether it's to relax, stay motivated, or get me pumped up. I enjoy to stay up on the whole hip-hop business. The beef that goes on in hip hop can sometimes be misinterpreted by who got shot and who's going to the klink. I think it's much more deep. If you're interested here's a couple sites to checkout… SOHH, AllHipHop, & HipHopDX. Remember that some of these sites are biased to certain groups and regions.
I enjoy new music the most. I love to crack open a new album or get my hands on it before it's released and see which tracks I feel. Then to see if they are the ones that are released. This has been a pretty good year for new releases. Pharrell, JT, John Legend, & Beyonce dropped albums recently and then in November The Game, Jay-Z, Snoop, and don't forget K-Fed drop albums this November. I've heard the Game and K-Fed cd's and they are pretty good.
I was surprised about K-Fed's if he'd just stop bitching about the media hating him, and listeners didn't know about the bad press he's been getting and that he's with Britney, then I think his album would get a lot more credit.
As far as The Game, it'll be interesting to see if the album sells like he's been promising. I think it'll do well, but it's a tough time of year and he might have pissed a couple too many people off, either way I'm still a fan and getting the album on the first day.
As you could probably tell from the few cd's that I mentioned, I'm a big fan of Pharrell, JT, John Legend, & Jay-Z. I'm looking forward to JT coming to the area. He's going to be in Omaha and Ames. I'm trying to decide if it's worth going to both. Another thing you can probably tell, is that I like all different kinds of music and I don't care if people know it. I've been a fan of JT since day 1 of *NSYNC. I was originally a fan of Lance, but once JT went solo I changed my mind.
My First Blog…
So I'm trying to get into the whole blogging thing, but things don't just come to me when I'm sitting front of the computer. I'm actually pretty creative usually. There's alot to this blogging stuff that I don't understand. First of all, who would want to read my blog. I'm not sure what I have that makes me that much different than anybody else. Maybe I should tell you a little about myself first.
I have a wonderful girlfriend named Amy. She is from Omaha, NE and still goes to school at Simpson College. Which is my Alma Mater. I played football and baseball there, and currently coach football (running backs). I also coach high school girls soccer in Newton. I've been doing the coaching thing for 4 years now and I've decided it's a field that I'll never be able to get out of. I'll be coaching my great-great-grand kids at the sports that are invented by the time they are playing. And I'll still be telling stories about the 2003-2006 soccer and football teams.
I am also an IT professional currently working for the Maytag Corporation. I started here in November 2003 as a temp and then was hired full-time 2 months later. I've been working as an IT Customer Support Analyst and was recently promoted to a level 2 analyst. I've worked in many different areas, but most recently in SAP Basis & web development, but continuing first and second level support to Maytag employees. We were recently acquired by the Whrilpool Corporation and my position has been transitioned. On March 1st, I will no longer be employed by Maytag/Whrilpool.
The name oneniner has a lot of meaning to me. It sounds like a silly screen name that I made up to be unique on the millions of sites that I have signed up on, but it comes from the number 19. When my dad was growing up the number 19 was lucky to his father (my grandfather). His father died when he was young, and therefor I never got to meet my grandfather on his side. When I was starting to play sports I was talking to my dad about what numbers I should choose. I always prefered 9, but never thought of double digit numbers as lucky until I had this talk with my dad. He was telling about the meaning that the number 19 had to him, so I decided to adopt the number as my number. So all though highschool sports I was number 19. The only sport I couldn't be 19 was basketball because in high school nobody has any digits over 5 in their numbers, but for football, soccer, and baseball I wore the number. In football I started my carreer playing quarterback so the number fit my position perfectly, then my senior year I moved to playing defensive line. I was probably the only defensive linemen in the state wearing 19. The nickname Oneniner came from baseball season. It just kinda grew on me from hearing people say "lets go one-niner". So I decided Oneniner is now my nickname. Nobody has ever called me that, but I have used it online every since ncarson was gone from the hotmail database in 1996.
