text: NY Times, December 21, 2008 Carol Chomsky, 78, Linguist and Educator, Dies By MARGALIT FOX Carol Chomsky, a linguist and education specialist whose work helped illuminate the ways in which language comes to children, died on Friday at her home in Lexington, Mass. She was 78. The cause was cancer, her sister-in-law Judith Brown Chomsky said. A nationally recognized authority on the acquisition of spoken and written language, Professor Chomsky was on the faculty of the Harvard Graduate School of Education from 1972 until her retirement in 1997. In retirement, she was a frequent traveling companion of her husband, the linguist and political activist Noam Chomsky, as he delivered his public lectures. Carol Chomsky was perhaps best known for her book, "The Acquisition of Syntax in Children From 5 to 10" (M.I.T. Press), which was considered a landmark study in the field when it appeared in 1969. In it, she investigated children's tacit, developing awareness of the grammatical structure of their native language, and their ability to use that awareness to extract meaning from increasingly complex sentences over time. Young children, Professor Chomsky found, could distinguish no difference in meaning between superficially similar sentences like "John promised Bill to shovel the driveway" and "John told Bill to shovel the driveway" they could not discern who did the shoveling in each case. Older children, she found, could do so automatically, without having been formally taught. Where earlier investigators had concluded that the acquisition of syntax the grammatical structure of sentences is complete by the time a child is 5, Professor Chomsky demonstrated that when it came to syntactically complex constructions, at least, acquisition is far from finished at that age. Professor Chomsky's later research focused on children's acquisition of the written word. In the late 1970s, she developed a technique for helping struggling readers attain greater fluency. She had the students silently read a passage while a tape recording of the passage played along. The process was repeated until the student could read the text fluently, without the tape. The technique, known as repeated reading, has been widely used in classrooms ever since. Still later, Professor Chomsky turned her attention to educational technology, creating software that develops reading-comprehension skills. Carol Doris Schatz was born in Philadelphia on July 1, 1930. She married Noam Chomsky, whom she had known since childhood, in 1949. In 1951, she earned a bachelor's degree in French from the University of Pennsylvania. In the 1960s, faced with the possibility that her husband would be jailed for his activities in opposition to the Vietnam War, Carol Chomsky resumed her education: a doctorate would be useful should she need to become the sole family breadwinner. Though that prospect did not materialize, she earned a Ph.D. in linguistics from Harvard in 1968. Besides her husband, the Institute Professor and emeritus professor of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Professor Chomsky is survived by their three children, Aviva Chomsky, a professor of Latin American history at Salem State College in Salem, Mass.; Diane Chomsky of Mexico City; and Harry Chomsky, of Albany, Calif.; a brother, J. Leonard Schatz of Burlington, Mass.; and five grandchildren. In a 2001 interview with The Pennsylvania Gazette, the alumni magazine of the University of Pennsylvania, Carol Chomsky contrasted her brand of linguistics practical, experimental, hands-on with her husband's abstract, quasi-mathematical approach: "It's a very different sort of 'linguistics' from Noam's pursuits," she said. "I always have to laugh when people talk about how interesting our dinner-table conversation must be since we're in the same field."

In 2013 DDP support contributed to safe internet access for critical internet users in countries in Central Asia, Middle East, South East Asia and Central America.
A short selection of our results in 2013.
Grant making: Through grant making the DDP supported several organisations to mitigate digital threats. For example by establishing safe internet access for approximately 1900 users through VPNs and other circumvention technology. The grants provided 108 users with emergency response, such as DDoS mitigation for websites under attack, legal support, the replacement of equipment and retrieval of hijacked accounts or temporary digital security helpdesks. On top op that, 162 people were trained on digital security, to make them more aware of risks and less vulnerable for attacks.
Strategic Partnerships: The DDP supported strategic partners who provided legal support, regional digital security consultants, secure hosting for very high-risk websites. Furthermore, 1500-2000 users a day are supported to circumvent censorship by browsing anonymously by increasing the architecture behind Tor.
Brokering: The DDP has engaged in various brokering activities for 17 different human rights defenders- and media organisations that suffered a digital emergency. By either providing direct assistance to mitigate the digital threat or by brokering third party intervention from an extensive network of lawyers, technical specialists and training organisations with specific experience in this area.
Research: The DDP commissioned two regional studies (MENA and Central Asia) into particular threats that journalists, HRDs, bloggers and activists face. These studies will be made available soon to download.

Is Our Faith Like The Grass?
Isaiah 40:6
A voice says, "Cry out." And I said, "What shall I cry?" "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field."
A few summers ago I lost my front yard. A combination of lack of water – excess sunshine and a weak root system did it in. I treated the ground – aerated – seeded with good seed – fertilized with starter fertilizer and winter fertilizer later in the season and that following spring I fertilized it again. It came up strong and full. I fully realize that if I can't figure out a way to water the yard in the summer – it will not be as full later in the year. That year I got an estimate for a sprinkler system – and that was way out of my price range. I purchased some extra hose and have tried – during the dry periods – to water the front yard.
Even with all of that work that fall – just a few weeks into March even – my yard was like most yards – dormant (to a degree). It did remain green through the winter that year – thanks to fertilizers and a mild winter – but it was in a dormant state. With the warmer than normal March that spring – with lots of sunshine and some rain – my yard was ahead of schedule that spring. It had time that spring to deepen the roots and thicken before the summer months. I cut my grass at the highest setting my lawn tractor with a mulching kit would allow. I cut the grass twice a week during the peak-growing season so I don't leave behind piles or clumps of dead grass. I love a green lawn throughout the year! Continue reading
The Word Of God Endures Forever
Isaiah 40:8
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.
I've spent a number of years trying to grow a yard – 20 years to be exact. I remember when my yard was a dust bowl. I remember cutting the weeds and grass – that was scattered around the yard – and working up a small storm cloud of dust.
Eventually I began to grow some grass. After years of aerating and seeding – the yard is starting to take shape. Keeping the weeds down has been a task. I finally went to a yard service to fertilize and treat for weeds. The cost of the service is just slightly more than I would pay for the materials myself and then I would have to put them down – and I can call them back to retreat if the weeds don't die!!
A bought a new lawnmower this year and I'm cutting the grass twice a week at 4 inches. The grass is growing well and filling in like never before. And the new lawnmower is cutting to clean and mulching too. Continue reading

I've never met Paul David Tripp, but he has had a profound influence on my life. I first discovered him when I was assigned the book, Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands, during an internship. I've since profited greatly from his books, sermons, lectures, and blog. Paul has a unique ability to gently grab hold of the human heart and firmly redirect it to Christ.
I recently read an article on Paul's blog that helped me reconsider my priorities. You might find it helpful to consider your own life in light of what he suggests are "9 Things You Won't be Celebrating in Eternity."
- SELF - This life is not about you. You were brought into a world that is, by definition, a celebration of the beauty and intelligence of God.
- MARRIAGE - No human being can satisfy your soul; only God can. If you place your identity in your spouse - or any other person, for that matter - you'll always be disappointed.
- KIDS - Your children are not actually your children; you gave birth to them, but they don't belong to you. Your kids are from God, they exist through God, and the glory of their lives points to God.
- SUCCESS - God calls you to be fruitful and productive, but the moment you take on your success as an identity, you'll become a slave to a never-ending stream of potential opportunities.
- RENOWN - Again, this life is not about you. Your primary job description is to be an ambassador for and herald of the glory and renown of your Heavenly King, the Lord Jesus Christ.
- COMFORT - Comfort is not sinful, but you'll never find paradise in a fallen world. Also, the work of the gospel will often call you to uncomfortable people in uncomfortable places.
- EXCITEMENT - Go ahead and buy season tickets for your favorite football team, but if a touchdown excites you more than the life-transforming ministry of the local church, you need to re-evaluate your eternal priorities.
- LEISURE - Again, this world will never be a paradise. It's not sinful to enjoy a vacation, but remember that this life is a preparation for your final destination.
- PLEASURE - Pleasure was created by God for you, but the created pleasures of this world are meant to be a finger pointing to the ultimate pleasure - an intimate relationship with the Creator.
Might we all be encouraged to find our identity in Christ instead of the temporary treasures of this life.

The government of Catalan President Artur Mas has enlisted a former Spanish tax inspector, Joan Iglesias, to prepare the administration to collect its own taxes. Iglesias said on Friday that the Catalan tax authority could collect about €100 billion (USD113 billion) in taxes a year, more than the €65 billion (USD72 billion) needed for an independent Catalan state.
"Everyone knows that Catalonia would be viable economically," Iglesias said, adding, "It is the most economically productive territory in Spain."

I love House Mouse images and this cutie was such fun to work with.
I stamped the image on Stampin Up's Whisper White cardstock and cut it out with an oval nestability. I also cut out a scalloped oval in red with a scalloped oval nestability. The mouse was colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with mineral spirits. I colored the eggs with sparkling gel pens.
The jelly beans were a challenge until I found a nose to a pig on my Animal Kingdom cartridge! Using Design Studio I was able to remove the "cuts" that would have been on the shape and the end result is a perfect jelly bean! I cut them out in different colored cardstock and covered them with Glossy Accents.
The inside says "Do I smell Jelly Beans?". Isn't that cute?

Cooper to Drill 2 More Onshore Callawonga Wells
Cooper Energy announced that the PEL92 Joint Venture has approved the drilling of two further appraisal/development wells in the Callawonga Oil Field in the Cooper Basin, South Australia, following the
conclusion of reservoir simulation studies.
The PEL92 production area includes the Parsons, Callawonga, Christies, Silver Sands and Sellicks oil fields.
Callawonga-5 will be drilled on a structural ridge between Callawonga-1 and Callawonga-4, and Callawonga-6
will be drilled on the south western flank of the field.
Both wells will be drilled to approximately 1,400 meters targeting the McKinley and Namur sandstones, which form the reservoir in the Callawonga Oil Field.
The wells are expected to cost A$1.4 million (Cooper share A$0.35 million) each to drill, case and suspend, demonstrating the low cost development opportunities that Cooper Energy is pursuing onshore Australia.
The PEL92 Joint Venture has identified four potential well locations in the Callawonga Oil Field and the Joint Venture may decide to drill an additional two wells following evaluation of the results from Callawonga-5 and Callawonga-6.
At this time, it is expected that Callawonga-5 and Callawonga-6 will be drilled back to back with the Gunyah-1 and Perlubie-1 PEL92 exploration wells, which are scheduled to be drilled in early December 2008, resulting in a late December 2008 or early January 2009 spud.
Cooper Energy is pleased to continue with the program of low cost and low risk development onshore Australia. In the event of a successful outcome, the Company looks forward to these wells contributing to Cooper Energy's reserves, production and revenue portfolio.

Nice review, M! I pretty much second everything said with the exception of the optional rules. Not really a big deal for me. It seems optional rules are things that could slow down or imbalance the game, so the author made them optional for that reason.ReplyDelete
Well, I agree that the critical damage is not really needed since most things are dead when you roll a 20 due to the way damage is calculated.
I still think that the Wounded optional rule creates some depth and enlivens combat as best as it can. Combat seems a bit clunky and usually anti-climatic: one or two hits, some bad rolls on one side or the other, and either something dies or something is miraculously standing and fighting in top form, even with one Health left.
Combat should be fun or exhilarating since it is the only thing you are doing in this game other than collecting treasures and I just think the combat system is missing something(s) which wounded lends a little towards fixing. I would like to see a more complex Wounded where injuries affect your soldiers mid-game.
I agree with Dan, great review.
I am with you on everything, except 2 parts.
I actually like the D20. I think that over time, with the ability to lower the difficulty on spells, it should give a better percentage then it seems that the beginning. I think that a 2D10 system would be a little too... Balanced- I personally view magic that something that should be very hard to control. I think that we need to see how it will work over the course of 5 or 6 games (minimum).
I also like the idea that the party that is left on the board getting the treasure. If I kill all of your guys, then I should be able to collect treasure at my leisure. But again, we should see how this plays out over the course of some games.
Even though I don't care for d20's, I agree with Brian as well that any changes could drastically change the game balance. I kind of wish Will factored in more, like as a bonus to your spell casting attempt, but again, that would throw the balance off, and base difficulties would be adjusted, as well as level progression in a campaign.ReplyDelete
I like the review in spite of disagreeing with the majority of your 'con' points.
They're really matters of taste.
I've noticed that Frostgrave draws in players form the RPG and tabletop wargame crowds.
The game tends to follow traditions of the tabletop wargame.
I'll provide some examples.
"D20 introduces too much luck" - the writer usually means "risk" here. I've noticed that RPGers tend to value their carefully developed characters, and a character death is a major upset in most games. Wargamers, by contrast, tend to use systems where you've got to face death to deal death, and where invulnerable, all powerful characters tend to ruin the game.
Many of the other issues follow from Frostgrave being a wargame, that attracts RPGers.
Critical hits and wounded status are really RPG things, and tend to delay the flow of play in wargames.
Wargamers don't expect their rank and file to morph into super-soldiers after several battles - they'll always be there as cannon fodder. If you want your thugs to advance, there is a way: Pay the cost for an infantryman / man at arms / knight, retire the thug and keep the same character name. Your wizard has just kitted the former thug in better fighting gear, and his status has improved.
I do agree that the after-game can be quite anti-climactic.
I don't really object to this, as I prefer to crack on and get another game on the table.
Where I feel the after-game is faulted is that all the finds can be sold for gold, then the gold can be used to buy any selected upgrades.
It seems to contradict the risk and danger of exploring the ruins for rare and arcane magic items, when the same things can be bought from Ye Olde Majicke Shoppe in perfect safety.
I'll close by wishing you plenty of enjoyable gaming.
There are many blogs suggesting house-rules.
The most sensible ones appear to be.
1. Turn limit on play and eliminate the "he who wins the fight grabs all the treasure".
2. Eliminate exp for wizards killing enemies - this skews the game in favour of the offensive magic types against the support magic ones, and badly unbalances any campaign.

Removed a duplicate post.
A couple of later thoughts..
1. If you want to field elves, dwarves, goblins etc, that works fine. The rules don't go in for racial characteristics, so a dwarven man at warms will play the same as a half-orc one. The different races add a bit of visual variety (if you like that sort of thing) and provide some good angles to role-play your warband. -- I though everybody didfunny voices and famous last words stuff when their band was fighting..
2. On Statistics: Rolling 2d10 or 3d6 will certainly make fighting outcomes more predictable. The main outcome will be that players and monsters with high armour values will be extremely difficult to damage.
Should an ice Giant appear, you'll have a chance to take him down if you fling in 5 or 6 soldiers under normal conditions. About one attack in 4 will inflict some damage.
If you're rolling 2d10, you'll find only one attack in 10 does any damage.
I rather like the fact that powerful soldiers aren't invulnerable in this game, but as I said above, it's all a matter of taste. Adjust for maximum fun.

Frank Kosir, Jr., Esquire
This matter addressed the issue of whether a restaurant/bar was entitled to an amendment of a condition placed upon an earlier variance grant in order to permit an extension of its daily hours of operation. Mixto, Inc. ("Mixto") owns and operates a restaurant/bar at 1141-43 Pine Street ("Property") in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In April 2001, Mixto applied for and was granted a variance by the Philadelphia Zoning Board of Adjustment ("Board") to construct a two story addition at the Property and to operate a restaurant, the variance being specifically conditioned upon the restaurant being opened no later than 11:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 12:30 a.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. In April 2008, Mixto submitted an application to the Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections ("Department") seeking a Zoning/Use Registration Permit to remain opened daily until 2:00 a.m. The Department denied the application, and Mixto appealed to the Board, which reversed, concluding that the significant number of restaurants in the area open until 2:00 a.m. constituted a changed circumstance that warranted an amendment of the conditions of the 2001 variance to permit Mixto to remain opened until 2:00 a.m. only on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Thereafter Carol German, a property owner in the area, appealed the Board's determinations to the trial court, which affirmed.
On appeal, our Commonwealth Court reversed. In issuing its ruling, the court noted that, in order to obtain a modification of a condition placed upon a previous grant of variance, an applicant must establish: (1) an entitlement to a traditional variance, or a change in circumstances that render the condition ineffective or inappropriate, and (2) an absence of injury to the public interest. In this instance, the record was void of any evidence to establish a change in circumstances sufficient to warrant the modification of the 2001 variance. Specifically, at the Board hearing, Mixto offered into evidence little more than its owner's own testimony that many of its competitors are opened until 2:00 a.m., and failed to produce any evidence regarding the proximity of these competitors or their hours of operation at the time that the 2001 variance was granted. Therefore, Mixto had failed to establish a change of circumstances sufficient to justify the amendment of the variance condition, and the Board had erred in granting the application.

The 5 common mistakes people make when trading Forex
The fast moving landscape of the Forex market is a trading environment like no other. Fortunes are made and lost overnight and often, when traders are on the losing end of a trade is id down to simple mistakes. A disciplined trading strategy is a trader's best friend, let your discipline slip and you are doing nothing more than gambling.
Forex trading has enjoyed somewhat of a renaissance in the last year or two and this is in-part down to the rise of the online trading platform, such as the ones offered by CityIndex. Online trading platforms give individual traders access to a range of markets, including Forex
Here are 5 common mistakes made by Forex traders and how they can be avoided.
Look Before You Leap – Avoid Pre-Positioning
Pre-positioning is the act of executing a position on what is little more than a hunch. The trader is in effect trying to predict the future. Even if you as a trader think you know the outcome of a particular report or announcement it is bad practice to open a position on that assumption. The best practice is to execute a position, having had a particular piece of news verified and once you have seen how the market reacts. So keeping your ear closely to the ground and your eyes on the charts is paramount.
Risking Too Much Capital
It is very easy to get carried away, your trading strategy goes out of the window and you end up making mistakes and losing money. Risking too much capital is a common mistake made by traders and tends to result from the heart ruling the head. It is important to be disciplined about the amount of capital you expose to risk, many traders will only expose between 1 and 5% and depending on your own personal circumstances this is a sensible figure to adopt.
Similar to risking too much capital is overtrading. This leaves you with diminished margin collateral and reduces your ability to "ride a storm". Basically, you are exposing yourself to too much risk and not focusing on a fewer number of positions that are better thought through. Overtrading is not recommended at the best of times, but for inexperienced traders in particular it can put you on a road to nowhere.
Leverage can be a really great option for traders, particularly those who don't have a huge amount of liquidity. It is, however also something to be wary of, when you open a highly leveraged position you must can see profits shoot up really quickly, but also losses accrue quickly as well. Even small movements in the markets can see your position grow or shrink at what can be an alarming rate. To avoid overleveraging you need to work out the size of the position after leverage and not just how much of your own capital is being exposed.
Take the Money
Another important element to your trading strategy is planning when you will close a position. It is easy to get drawn into holding a position open if the market is going your way, but this can often be a mistake. Having a predetermined plan of when to take a profit or a loss is good practice and can help you have a more sustained success rate. Limit stop orders are good to use, they automatically close the position for you and take away the human element to decision making.
Learning to trade Forex successfully does not happen overnight and if you want to make sure you don't walk away empty handed, then it crucial that you learn about the commonly made mistakes before you begin trading.

As you might've seen on Friday, or if you follow me on Instagram, then you know I spent the weekend in Big Bear Lake, which is a mountain town about 2.5 hours northeast of San Diego.
The getaway was to celebrate one of our friends' birthdays, and the cabin, which was supposed to fit 7 people, was instead full of a group of 15 of us on Friday night, and 11 of us on Saturday night. But with four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a jacuzzi and big balcony, we had just enough room for a nice little weekend away from San Diego.
In the mountains, where it rained most of Saturday, I was reminded of New England and it made me miss it a lot. The rain was definitely welcome, since Southern California has been experiencing a significant drought, but it also made the weekend in the cabin a little more cozy.
Other highlights of the weekend? Spending time with great friends, making new friends, carne asada tacos, and some Magic Hat.
Maeby got to hang out with her best friend Lilo, and made a new friend, Swarley (obscure How I Met Your Mother reference).
And as for the rest of us?
I think this picture of Maeby on the way home summarizes how we all felt Sunday morning…
It was a good weekend away, and as always, it was so nice returning home to San Diego.
And now, the work week begins again…
Happy Monday!

Monday was a super exciting day since me and my Sister-from-another-Mister (sis-in-law) had been planning a rollercoaster date for about a year – pretty much ever since we last went. It seems we'll be making our trips to Thorpe Park an annual affair!
This time around was a little different from last year since we were venturing out about a month later and so the weather was much better, baking hot, and the park was a lot busier, with approx 50 minute wait for each ride. But since we'd been able to go on each ride 3 times last year that didn't really spoil it for us.
The first ride we went on was SAW. It's probably our 2nd favourite ride there, but as it's right at one end of the park we decided to go there first. We ended up going on Swarm twice. It's our favourite ride and we had decided we wanted to go on the Brave it Backwards seats – which surprisingly was the fast queue (or NO queue) Backwards wasn't as scary or fun as frontwards so we decided to line up again and give it another crack, but the right way around this time!
Despite the heat and the queues, we had a great day! I can see this becoming a regular event, and I'm sure if we can fit it in before the season ends this year, we'll probably find time for another visit!
Tuesday I got to spend another day with Gary, since it had felt like we'd hardly seen each other for about a week! We decided to head to Bicester Village a designer outlet village near Oxford. We love going there, even though they've replaced most of the boutique shops I like with alternative brands. I did find some bargains including a wonderful Missoni dress (!) for an upcoming wedding reception, a beach dress from Superdry and a gorgeous linen jumper from Jack Wills.
Also from Jack Wills was this super bargain
This gorgeous polish gives full coverage with just two coats and lasts for ages. I put the OPI peel off base coat underneath it which ultimately helped with removal, but I loved it so much that I've also put it on my toes. Jack Wills does great nail polish – who knew?!
Once back from Bicester, we headed to my parent's house to see them as they'd just returned from two weeks in Canada with an abundance of gifts and stories! They also brought back some Holy Crap! cereal which I've tried once mixed into my overnight oats. I feel very virtuous adding it to my food since it's got so much good stuff in it, and it came at a good time since I'm almost out of chia seeds! They also brought some maple syrup back, which we had also just run out of! How handy 🙂

Well technically we still have one more day but I doubt I will be on here except to check the bank acct to see just how much I can spend.. Yeah, have to shop a little before the new year starts, right?? I mean isn't that a given in this day and age???
No have to check cause in the morning I have to take Max to the vets. Damn my animals they always get some weird thing that keep me running and keeps the vet quite happy. He has some gross bump, growth or whatever on his eyeball so have to get it checked.
From the vet's I need to hit JC Penney's to try to find a pair of black dress slacks to wear to the show on Wed night and to Bryce's graduation ceremony.
Once home it's pop a cake in the oven , cause Bryce asked me to make him a chocolate cake, plus I need to dice, chop, fry, and whatever else you do to get all the pizza toppings made up ahead of time, plus get the crust going. The party is tomorrow night starting at 8pm and I will be like a wild woman decorating, fixing the table, decorating the cake, chopping , dicing etc plus getting mama up, showered and ready for the day. A busy day but I am sure all well worth it , lots of fun in the evening .
Today hubby and I finally finished up the de-decorating, damn but I have been washing windows for three days now, enough is enough!! They are shiny, clean and the house looks soooooooooooooooooo bare now. It's amazing at how much of a difference all the deocrations make. I mean prior to them going up, the house looked cluttered to me, now, nope bare. I am sure in a few days it will be back to it's cluttered look and I will be back to whining about having to clean it up. So for now guess I will just enjoy it as it is.
2007 has been an up and down year over this way, as I am sure the same for everyone. To me I have watched mama's dementia take over her brain more and more and the difference a year makes is un=real. Such a horrible disease and absolutely nothing I can do to stop it or help her. I am very thankful she is healthy though so I keep focusing on that aspect of her life. Told you before that I always try to find the bright spot in everything, the silver lining so to speak. She is truly my bright spot each and every day.
The year also brought amazing changes in Bryce. From the rebellious know it all kid to the young man about to head off to the Air Force day after tomorrow. He has put us through the worst kind of hell and then turned it around to put so much pride in us it's crazy when I think about it.
Ashley has turned into quite a young woman also. What with college, her job and her music she is amazing. Can you tell we are proud of those two kids?? Yup we are!!!
The Wii, amazing lil piece of machinery if I do say so myself. It has given hubby and I some sort of life together and we still love it and mmm have gotten extremely competitive at it too. An amazing family game but an amazing game for us. We so look forward to our evenings of bowling.
Friends, yeah this blog, another amazing invention and I am so glad I am a part of the blogging world. I look forward to reading everyone's blog. I feel your pain, joy and everything in between. I enjoy all the pictures you all post and love watching the little ones grow up via the computer.
I pray 2008 will be just as good to me. I really can't complain about anything. Oh I try but mmm I am very fortunate and I just have to look around to know that.
So to all my blogging friends out there have a very HAPPY AND SAFE NEW YEARS!!! I will catch you all in 2008!!!!

Cardinal Update
A full slate of softball action awaits the Cardinal this weekend, as Stanford travels south for a doubleheader with UC Riverside before competing in the 2002 Campbell/Cartier Classic. Stanford will square off against the Highlanders on Thursday for a twinbill at 12 p.m., then head off to Poway to participate in the Campbell/Cartier Classic over the weekend. The Cardinal will face five opponents during the three-day event: No. 10 Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Northridge, Utah State, No. 23 San Diego State and New Mexico. The tournament, hosted by San Diego State University, will mark the first of four Stanford will compete in over the next four weeks.
Stanford in the National Rankings
The women's softball squad checks in at No. 3 in the USA Today/NFCA Preseason top-25 poll, as voted by 27 Division 1 softball coaches representing all areas around the country. Stanford, which finished last year ranked third also, will battle 11 teams this season currently ranked in the top-25, while competing in arguably the strongest conference in the nation. Currently the top-10 schools in the nation are as follows: No. 1 Arizona, No. 2 UCLA, No. 3 Stanford, No. 4 LSU, No. 5 California, No. 6 Iowa, No. 7 Oklahoma, No. 8 Arizona State, No. 9 Washington and No. 10 Cal State Fullerton.
Scouting the Highlanders
UC Riverside (2-6) enters Thursday afternoon's doubleheader with the Cardinal having dropped its last five contests. After losing its season opener, the Highlanders rebounded to pick up wins over Hawaii and Loyola Marymount for their only victories of the year. UC Riverside was blanked by LMU 1-0 last Sunday. Colby Kelly has started all eight games for UC Riverside and is hitting .286 with a team-high six hits. Jenell Jackson has been the most consistent hurler for the squad in the early going, sporting a 2-2 mark and a 1.42 ERA in 25.1 innings of work. UC Riverside has not scored more than four runs in any game this season.
A Look at the Field..........2002 CAMPBELL/CARTIER CLASSIC
The first of four tournaments for the Cardinal in 2002, this year's Campbell/Cartier Clasic begins Friday morning and runs through the weekend. The tourney is an annual event held in the memory of former Aztec softball players Susanne Campbell and Karin Cartier, who lost their lives during the 1991 season in a car accident. The Cardinal, who are 18-5 all-time at the tournament, won five of six games at the tourney in 2001. This year's field features six nationally-ranked teams, including Stanford's first opponent on Friday evening- No. 10 Cal State Fullerton. The Titans went 2-3 at the Fiesta Bowl Classic, highlighted by a 9-1 rout of Texas on the final day. Stanford's second Friday opponent, Cal State Northridge, is coming off a 2-3 record in its own Tournament of Champions. Saturday's schedule features matchups with Utah State, which has dropped its first five games, and host San Diego State, which went 1-3 at its own Aztec Invitational. The Cardinal will wrap things up against its third Mountain West opponent of the weekend, New Mexico, on Sunday afternoon.
The Rittman File
John Rittman begins his sixth season at the helm of the Stanford women's softball program after being named head coach on July 12, 1996. In just five years on The Farm, Rittman has brought the Stanford softball program from a non-scholarship club-level program to a fully-funded championship contender. The 2001 season was the most impressive campaign under Rittman's tenure, as the Cardinal finished with its best single-season overall record at 54-16-1 and highest ranking at No. 3 in the USA Today/NFCA national poll. Rittman was awarded the 2001 Pac-10 Co-Coach of the Year honor and currently has accumulated a 210-100-1 overall mark while with the Cardinal. Prior to being named head coach at Stanford, Rittman spent four seasons as the assistant coach at Washington.
Taming The Tigers
The Cardinal swept its second consecutive doubleheader last Saturday, taking both games from No. 19 Pacific in Stockton to improve to 4-0. Stanford, which defeated Pacific three of the four times the teams met in 2001, topped the Tigers 2-1 in nine innings in the first game and logged an 8-2 victory in the nightcap. Cassi Brangham's RBI double plated Kira Ching for the game-winning run in the ninth inning of the first game, after Pacific had tied it at 1-1 with a two-out score in the bottom of the seventh. Tori Nyberg pitched nine innings for her second win of the year, limiting the Tigers to five hits along with eight strikeouts. In the second game, Maureen LeCocq went 3-4 with two RBI and a homerun to lead the Cardinal to an 8-2 triumph. LeCocq also picked up her first win of the year, allowing seven hits in the contest. Brangham and Robin Walker each collected two hits on the day for Stanford.
What Else Is New?
Three-time First Team All-American senior Jessica Mendoza continues to pick up right where she left off in 2001. The 2001 FirstTeam All Pac-10 selection has started all four games so far and is hitting .500 (6-12) with five runs scored, three RBI and two stolen bases. Mendoza was equally tough at the dish last season, leading the Cardinal with a .405 average in 71 games started. In addition, Mendoza led Stanford in the following offensive categories: runs (70), hits (83), home runs (14), total bases (151), slugging percentage (.737), on-base percentage (.504) and stolen bases (31).
One of the reasons the Cardinal has been able to get off to such a fast start has been the solid pitching. The Stanford staff has not allowed more than two runs in any of the first four games and is limiting the opposition ot just 16 hits in 28 innings of work, while posting a combined 0.75 ERA. Junior Tori Nyberg is coming off a spectacular performance against Pacific in which she held the Tigers to five hits and one run in nine innings, while fanning a career-high eight batters to improve to 2-0. Junior Maureen LeCocq followed that up with a complete game victory over the Tigers in the second game, allowing just two runs in seven innngs. Dana Sorensen earned a win against Santa Clara on Feb. 2, holding the Broncos to one hit in five innings while striking out five. Conversely, the Cardinal have had little trouble hitting opposing pitchers. Stanford is hitting .321 (35-109) as a team against its opponents, who have allowed 27 runs in 26 innings of work for a 5.12 combined ERA.
Walking the Walk...
Senior Robin Walker has been a consistent source of offense for the Cardinal to start the year. The shortstop is leading the team in hits (6) and total bases (11), and has scored four runs. The 2001 All Pac-10 Honorable Mention selection helped lead Stanford to an 8-2 win over Pacific last weekend, going 2-4 at the plate with a double and a homerun (the second of her four-year career).
Tourney-Tested Road Warriors
The early portion of the season will include the annual tournament schedule, which serves as a good tuneup before league play. 20 of the first 22 contests are played away from Boyd & Jill Smith Family Stadium, which should prepare the Cardinal for a gruelling Pac-10 schedule. The Cardinal's four-week road journey begins this week at the Campbell/Cartier Classic in Poway, CA. Stanford then travels to Columbus, GA, for the prestigious NFCA Leadoff Classic on Feb. 22-24, competes at the Red Desert Classic (Mar. 1-3) and finishes tournament play with an appearance at the Speedline Invitational in Tampa, FL on Mar. 7-10. If last year was any indication, the squad can't wait to hit the road- the Cardinal was a combined 21-2-1 at the same four tournaments in 2001, including undefeated marks at the Red Desert Classic and NFCA Leadoff Classic.
Records Were Made To Be Broken
The 2001 campaign was a record-setting one for the Card, which recorded the best single-season in Stanford softball history and finished with a program-best 54-16-1 overall record and its first appearance at the Women's College World Series. Three student-athletes were honored as First Team All-Americans: seniors Jessica Mendoza and Sarah Beeson and junior Dana Sorensen- the first time Stanford has had multiple First Team selections in the same season. Head Coach John Rittman was named Pac-10 Co-Coach of the Year in his fifth season at the helm. The Cardinal broke 12 team records during the year, setting new marks in categories such as doubles, home runs, RBI, stolen bases and lowest ERA. Last year's club posted a school-best 33 shutouts in 71 games and outscored its opponents 290-104.
Notes From The Dugout
After her hot hitting against Pacific, Maureen LeCocq is batting .556 (5-9) with four runs scored and a homerun...Sarah Beeson and Kira Ching have started all four games and lead the team with four RBI...Freshman Elizabeth Bendig recorded her first collegiate RBI in the second game of last weekend's twinbill at Pacific...Robin Walker continues to excel at the leadoff spot, scoring six runs and tallying 11 total bases...The third inning appears to be the time when the Cardinal's bats get hot- the team has scored 16 runs in the third frame...Stanford is hitting .321 as a team (35-109) with 27 runs scored and 21 RBI so far.
Notes From Around The Bullpen
The Cardinal pitching staff (Tori Nyberg, Maureen LeCocq and Dana Sorensen) has a combined ERA of 0.75, and has allowed just 16 hits and three earned runs in 28 IP...Opponents are hitting just .158 thus far...Nyberg is the early leader in strikeouts with 12, after recording eight in last week's victory over Pacific.

(Lanka-e-News - 03.April.2017, 5.00AM) The allegations made on 7th April in front of the Fort Railway station by Dr. Anurudha Padeniya the president of the GMOA (better known as Dr. Killer) who even after taking the solemn medical oath of Hippocrates to primarily serve the people and the sick when he was appointed as a doctor , but nevertheless conducts himself like a terrorist leader has been condemned furiously and fiercely by the legal fraternity over his rash and foolish accusations.
A group of lawyers are to take legal action against Padeniya the medical doctor alias monstrous doctor for his remarks made on the 7 th against the sacrosanct judiciary which run counter to the established laws and traditions of the country. His conduct was all the more reprehensible because he belonged to a noble medical profession , meaning that he therefore degraded his own self dignity ,as well as disgraced the medical profession thereby.
Padeniya the doctor joker on 7th April said , the justice administered by courts is based only on the advice of the Attorney general (AG), thereby insulting the judiciary in its entirety ( not any action of a judge) . His outrageous comment was an absolute falsehood in relation to the courts . The doctor joker Padeniya did not stop at that . He even went on to ask , why should the judges be paid a salary ? while claiming they are fanatics.
The lawyers who are to take to the streets against Padeniya the buffoon state those announcements of his are clearly tantamount to contempt of court , and a vilification of the entire judiciary . They are to therefore readying to sue him.
Sadly the doctor killer group of Dr. Monster Padeniya that is best only at terrorizing the patients rather than treating them when in fact treating patients is their inescapable professional duty has once again threatened to stage an Island wide strike next week if SAITM is not closed down.

Let the affected patients look after them with the strike !

He ( this Pakadeniya ) is not a doctor but a snake charmer. Time to send him six feet under.
-- by Rohan on 2017-05-05
I don't agree with Dr.Padeniya. We need SAITM.

This is Part One of my "School's Out for the Summer" blog trio; highlighting family friendly MUST-DO's for our Montgomery County community families. Whether you would like to partake in these activities as a family, or leave the kids with grandma, each of these exciting summer activities are definitely family-friendly!
The Quicken Loans National - A Big Deal for Me
My First Visit - It's hard to believe that the Quicken Loans National starts Monday, June 26! I can remember back to last year; my first year of attending this golf tournament. The bright sun showed off the beauty of the green course which was perfectly lined with trees. Masses of people soaked in the sun as the enjoyed the golf course; engaged in the tournament and all of the activities that were offered during the one-week event. The best part was that there were tickets to fit all price points and a variety of activities for families, children and children at heart. I recall barely winning in checkers against a teen on a 'gianormous', life-size checker board! It was quite the match! I can't wait to return again for a second time this year for more fun and excitement (i.e. "giant checkers" and more!).

The Quicken Loans National – It's a GREAT deal of FUN for the kiddos

"NEW in 2017, Kids Village is a destination for young fans and families to share a memorable experience while taking a break throughout the day.

Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has spent £20,000 on a waxwork of himself to take pride of place in his Spanish mansion.
The Real Madrid player paid for the sculpture after making numerous visits to see a similar statue of himself in the Spanish capital's Museum of Wax.
Ronaldo, who used to play for Manchester United, hired British waxwork sculptor Michael Wade to make the replica at his renowned studio in Bridport, Devon.
The 30-year-old Portugal captain even got his personal hairdresser to ensure the wax figure has his trademark hairstyle.
Mr Wade, who also made the Ronaldo sculpture in the Museum of Wax, told the Sun on Sunday: 'We still had the mould that we'd used to sculpt him in 2013, so this copy was a complete duplicate. And Ronaldo sent us a football kit and his latest boots.
'But we left the hair alone, because that's exactly how he wanted it. We put all the hair in, one at a time and then, in Madrid, his hairdresser came along to cut it.'
The statue, wearing a full Portugal football kit, was flown from Heathrow to Madrid in a crate, with the head packed separately.
The vain footballer finally saw the waxwork for the first time when it arrived at the museum.
It will now be sent on a tour of Europe before taking pride of place in Ronaldo's mansion, west of Madrid.
The waxwork of Ronaldo already in the Museum of Wax, where it has stood since 2013, gets a once a month check-up from his beauty professional whose main job is to brush its hair.
'Cristiano told us to be sure his figure was perfect,' Gonzalo Presa, the museum's communication director told Spanish newspaper Cadena Ser Catalunya.
'He sent his own hairstylist to brush his figure once a month. Cristiano's (the waxwork's) hair is natural. It is not a wig and it comes from India.'

Also along for the ride are pianist Kevin Bales, bassist Pete Portee, and drummer Tracy Alexander. Although the recording's sound quality leaves a bit to be desired, Page more than makes up for it with his impressive Montgomeryesque playing, which soars on "Invitation" and grooves relentlessly on "Who Can I Turn To?"
