The days of summer are numbered and that signifies one thing back to school! Over the next few weeks kids will be heading back to the classroom to hits the books. As we all know, education in any subject matter is crucial. That is why we are introducing a new video mini-series titled Better Brewing with Dr. Brew. We realize that in order to brew a great beverage one must understand the brewing process and all the different elements . Over the next few months Dr. Brew will be providing educational videos explaining subject matters that will help you brew and enjoy your best cup each day. At BUNN we refer to these educational sessions as Coffee 101. And yes many BUNN employees sit through these same educational lessons (only ours are a little longer of course)! Get ready for the first educational lesson by Dr. Brew: Water Quality.
We all truly enjoy a quality cup of coffee that is fresh, flavorful and hot. But what about a cup of coffee that tastes a bit like a swimming pool? If you taste chlorine in your water - that same chlorine taste will carry over into your brewed beverage giving it a swimming pool back note. As Dr. Brew explains, water makes up about 99% of a cup of coffee, which is why using quality water is not only very important for great coffee but also for great tea. Water needs to be fresh, good tasting and have some mineral content. However, excess mineral content can affect the taste of your coffee just like an off taste or odor .To learn more about water quality, including how hard & soft water can negatively affect brewing watch this quick educational video featuring Dr. Brew.
Join us next month for another lesson with Dr. Brew. You are already one video closer to flipping your tassel towards a better brew education.

I know I say it every time and am probably starting to sound like a stuck record, but – wow! We had 35 bakers entering a total of 42 varieties of cupcakes. When you consider that each entry is a minimum of 12, you'll appreciate that the 150 attendees worked their way through over 500 cupcakes! That's a lot of cupcakes…even by my standards!
Winner - Eloise's Chocolate marshmallow coconut snowballs
It had to happen one day – Eloise is the first person to retain the title! She won last month with her delicious "Spice Girls" and won again!
This cupcake was an incredible piece of work - the chocolate sponge had an oozing fondant-style filling – just like the dessert; incredible to achieve such a distinction between the sponge and filling in a cupcake. The marshmallow topping was sticky and soft and sprinkled with coconut so that it sparkled just like sun on snow. It was heavenly.
I have to quote the comment that someone wrote on their voting slip: "it tasted like I was eating Christmas". Nothing I can add to that!
Runner up - Caro's "Ode to Panettone" with mulled orange curd and chestnut cream frosting
Caro's entry was a most worthy runner up – the cupcake was not overly sweet and all the flavours burst through at different times. It was a very sophisticated tasting cake with lots of juicy fruit including cranberries and mixed peel to balance the spiced orange curd. The chestnut buttercream was lovely and subtle.
Third place - Siriket's Orange and cranberry cupcake with orange frosting
What I most remember about Siriket's cupcake is how the flavours remained so clean and distinct; the first hit was all orange and citrus zing then the cranberry cut through. It was extremely fruity and packed with fresh flavours. Orange works extremely well in buttercream too – it's not something I'd tried before and was very impressed!
As it was Christmas Santa was on hand to give presents to bakers, as well as tucking into all the cupcakes (well, he has to fill out the famous red suit – he doesn't achieve that by living on beans and pulses!). Santa had his special prize to award to his favourite cupcake of the night and he chose:
Mitsu's "I'm dreaming of a white chocolate" Caramel and white chocolate cupcake
Mitsu has dazzled us all year with her vegan cupcakes but this one was definitely her masterpiece! The smooth white chocolate frosting dissolved in your mouth and the squidgy caramel cake was deliciously indulgent. It has to be said that Santa returned to this cupcake and polished it off, even though he still had a further 30 or so to taste – I think that says it all!
Those were the cupcakes with the most votes on the night; now let's take a look through all the other lovely entries – be prepared to be stunned by the artistry, imagination and sheer skill on display.
Ros's "CCCCC" i.e. Christmas chocolate chestnut cranberry cupcake
Ros's Candy cane cupcakes
The peppermint sponge was swirled with red to echo the design of a candy cane – it looked so pretty. The cream cheese frosting was topped with crushed candy canes which provided some crunch and a great contrast to the frosting.
Kelly's Devil food cupcake with cranberry filling and peppermint frosting
How pretty does Kelly's cupcake look? It's like a mini tree with glistening snowflakes. The rich chocolate sponge and gentle peppermint was a delicious combination. We all went back for a second forkful of this one!
Karen's Gingerbread houses with brandy buttercream
Karen's gingerbread was dark, intense and sticky – just the way I like it! I have such a weakness for gingerbread and this did not disappoint! The brandy buttercream came through after the ginger and the flavours were both warming and perfect for winter. Each cupcake was iced with the name of a famous house (in case you're wondering, Soho House is a famous private members' club in …you've guessed it… Soho!)
Robyn's Orange, mulled wine spice and cranberry cupcakes with orange frosting
It was the little 'pops' of cranberry in your mouth that I loved most about Robyn's entry. The sponge was soft and the cranberries exploded with juice and flavour when bitten into. We all agreed that the cranberry and orange combination had a sweet and sour vibe and it worked really well. The little sugared cranberry decoration is so cute and sparkled when the light hit it.
Teresa's Coconut cupcakes with iced coconut
Teresa's entry was certainly one for the coconut fanatics i.e. me! The lovely soft coconut sponge was topped with an indulgent coconut frosting and marzipan star. The sprinkles somehow made the frosting crispy and creamy at the same time – delightful!
Sasha's Christmas cake with orange and brandy icing
Sasha's vegan friendly cupcake had a lovely nutty texture to it and the orange flavouring was delicate and fragrant. The little piped rosette of brandy icing looked so cute and provided just the right kick of booze.
Shannon's Peppermint mocha cupcakes
Shannon's sponge provided a strong hit of coffee and wasn't too sweet – this greatly pleased my co-eater Jasmin who often finds coffee cakes overly sweet. The mint came through later and freshened your mouth. The crushed candy cane topping provided some lovely crunch and the whole cupcake worked beautifully in both flavour and textures.
Shannon's Mulled wine and white chocolate cupcakes
The creamy smooth frosting on these was delightful – I could have eaten a dessert bowl full of it! It's funny because I don't like the drink mulled wine, but the spices, when used in baking, are great! This was a beautiful cupcake – very tasty and the little sprinkling of nuts on the top was a perfect accompaniment.
Anastasia's Red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting
Anastasia's red velvet provided just the right hit of cocoa and the cream cheese frosting was lovely and smooth and not overly sweet, so the cheese retained some acidity. The Christmas tree piping on top was simple and effective. I love that so many people chose trees for their decoration yet each was so different.
Chloe's "Snowconut" tropical cupcakes
Chloe's coconut sponge contained macadamia nuts and dried tropical fruit mix; this meant that little nuggets of tropical flavours burst in your mouth with each bite. The coconut crusted over the buttercream gave some extra texture and the little silver balls gave some crunch.
Chloe's Pear and cranberry cupcakes with brandy buttercream
Pear and cranberry is not a combination I've had before but I loved it – the pear provides the sweetness which is offset by the tarter cranberry. The brandy buttercream was rich and creamy. The whole look was topped off by a cute little sugar paste snowman – I particularly like the jaunty angle of his carrot nose!
Jenny's Clementine and chocolate cupcakes
The chocolate and Clementine sponge was topped off with what Jenny called a "plain buttercream". However, this simply doesn't do justice to how whipped and fluffy it tasted! Topped off with a slice of chocolate orange I think you'll agree that this is a rather elegant cupcake.
Amanda's Stollen cupcake with brandy butter
Amanda's Stollen cupcakes were rich with raisins and had a lovely satisfying texture. The creamy buttercream was light and whipped and so indulgent! As someone not that gifted with cake decorating I had to comment on the snowflake Amanda has crafted from royal icing and edible glitter – it's so perfect!
Lizzie's Stollen cupcakes with royal icing
Lizzie's rich stollen cupcake was packed with spices and balanced beautifully with the sweet royal icing. The sprinkling of gold stars was most effective as they caught the light and shimmered like the real thing (but better, because most of us don't go around eating real gold!)
Amanda's "Surprise under the tree" chocolate and cherry cupcakes
There is so much to say about Amanda's second entry. The chocolate and cherry cake was moist and flavoursome and the homemade marshmallow topping, covered in thick green chocolate was a veritable carnival of tastes and textures. The thick chocolate cracked satisfyingly to reveal the sticky marshmallow. And that "surprise under the tree"? A home made cherry brandy liqueur that oozed lush booze on being cut! Wonderful!
Mara's Peppermint bark cupcakes
Mara had to explain to me what peppermint bark was – I've never encountered it before. Apparently it is a chocolate and peppermint candy. The chocolate sponge was so soft and rich; the peppermint came through later and left your mouth feeling fresh and tingly.
Hannah's Walnut and Bailey's cupcakes
Walnut is amongst my favourite nuts for baking and Hannah's sponge was nutty and rich. The walnut worked so well with the warming Baileys buttercream. Hannah tinted the buttercream to make it look more Christmassy and I think it looks very pretty set against the dinky red star.
Fiona's Spiced eggnog cupcakes with bourbon buttercream
Fiona made her own eggnog for these cupcakes and boy was it worth it! The eggnog gave the cupcake a grown-up custard taste and the bourbon buttercream accented the warming hit of alcohol. The simple yet elegant decoration was not only attractive but also gave little pockets of crunch to the cupcake.
Nikki's Cupcake mince pies with whipping cream buttercream
This appealed to my greedy side – a cupcake in pastry! The crumbly pastry revealed a mincemeat flavoured cupcake, all topped off with the lightest, most whipped buttercream you've ever tasted.
Betty's Cranberry and cinnamon cupcakes with vanilla and cinnamon buttercream
This challenge educated me in the world of cranberries. Previously I've only ever had cranberries either in a Cosmopolitan or as cranberry sauce with turkey. I'd never had them in cakes or desserts. The cranberry and cinnamon pairing in Betty's cupcake was divine. Paired with such rich, smooth buttercream it was really rather lovely!
Betty's Chocolate mud cupcake with cranberry sauce and Viennese truffle
The rich chocolate hit first then the tarter cranberry, finally the truffle. I'm not sure whether there was alcohol in the truffle but I certainly got a taste of something! The pretty little white chocolate snowflake looks beautiful against the chocolate buttercream…chocolate on chocolate is alright with me!
Rose's Gingerbread cupcakes with chocolate frosting
The warming ginger held its own against the chocolate buttercream giving a lovely comforting taste. The top of the cupcake was round and glittery just like a Christmas bauble and that little loop poking out the top? Why it's the loop to hang the bauble on the tree…not that it would make it that far in my house – I'd eat it as soon as I unpacked it!
Mellissa's "Oh Christmint tree" chocolate and mint cupcakes
Mellissa's vegan friendly mint frosting made a very cute Christmas tree particularly with the red tinsel icing and coloured baubles. The minty tree sat atop a rich chocolate cupcake. Chocolate and mint is one of those heaven-sent combinations – it's never anything less than lovely.
Tom's Pear, cranberry and allspice cupcakes with Christmas penguin
Sweet pear works so well in cakes as the juices ooze into the surrounding sponge giving a beautiful fragrance as well as texture and taste. The hit of spice was beautifully balanced. I have to point out Tom's ingenuity regarding the penguin – it's a chocolate brazil nut! How clever is that? I'd like to say that he was so cute we couldn't eat him….I'd like to say that….but…..
Davina's Chocolate cupcakes
It was chocolate all the way for Davina's Rudolph in cupcake form – chocolate sponge, chocolate buttercream, chocolate antlers! The sponge was soft and crumbly and had a lovely strong hit of cocoa. Teamed with the rich, smooth buttercream it was a hit! And who knew that Rudolph's nose was red because it was a glace cherry?
Heather's Red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting
Heather produced a perfect red velvet – rich, moist with a lovely cocoa flavour. The cream cheese frosting was silky and indulgent. I particularly loved Heather's decoration, it's so bling and Christmassy – the berry is a cherry smothered in edible glitter, and the holly leaves are rice paper.
Prema's Oat, golden syrup and chestnut cupcakes with Satsuma jam and brandy buttercream
I have to start with the buttercream – is there a more Christmassy colour? It was also smooth and whipped with a lovely hint of brandy. The cupcake was extremely moist and the chestnuts and water chestnuts added an extra layer of flavour. The Satsuma jam was also a distinct flavour and I'm always impressed when there are so many flavours to a cupcake yet you can clearly taste each one – Prema judged this recipe perfectly.
Gill's Vanilla snowmen with coconut snow
Sometimes you just look at a cupcake and go "Awwwwww"; I think this is such a cupcake. How cute is that snowman? His body is a marshmallow and his head a chocolate. I love the way that Gill sprinkled coconut over the light and airy frosting – it adds a lovely complexity to the texture. I noticed that several baker's did that and it really works.
Gill's "Bring us some figgy pudding" fig cupcakes with cinnamon buttercream and candied hazelnuts
I've never had fig cupcakes before and wonder why as they are terrific! Everyone at my table made the same comment – they loved the crunch that the fig gave the sponge; I think it must've been the tiny seeds. The cinnamon buttercream added some lovely subtle spice to the overall flavour and kudos to anyone who candies their own hazelnuts!
Andy's Royal mincemeat cupcakes with brandy butter frosting
The sponge contained mincemeat and the raisins were so juicy they popped in your mouth, exploding with sweetness. I think Andy was generous with the brandy (good man!) as the warmth grew in your mouth and throat in a very pleasant way. The marzipan holly had a lustre to it that caught the light and I love that he chose gold berries instead of red – it works with his colour scheme!
Lynda's Mini Christmas cakes with royal icing
All the elements of Christmas cake but packed into a cupcake – it was all there – juicy fruit, brandy, dark rich sponge. The royal icing disc on top was sweet and thick and added an extra dimension to the textures of the cake. I think Lynda wins the "dinkiest holly leaves" award – they're so sweet!
Sambal's Vanilla and mincemeat cupcakes with brandy butter cream cheese frosting
Sam made his own mincemeat for these cupcakes and it was well worth the effort as it produced a succulent sponge. The cream cheese frosting was extremely soft and smooth and felt just lovely to eat – like eating velvet! A single cranberry and some gold sprinkles produced a classy looking cake.
Kate's Chocolate mint cupcakes
I've said it before, but I'll say it again – anyone who puts a whole chocolate on top of a cupcake is ok with me! The chocolate cake and mint frosting were a happy union – as one of the eaters at my table said, "this is like a really, really, really good After Eight!"
Suzanne's Mince pie cupcakes with brandy buttercream
If I asked you to close your eyes and picture a Christmas cupcake I think you might picture Suzanne's entry – it's so elegant and sophisticated but is unmistakably festive. The sponge with mincemeat was so tasty – and I say that as someone not overly fond of mincemeat. We really were spoiled for buttercreams as this was yet another whipped, light, smooth delight.
Marie's Jamaican Christmas cupcakes
Marie would only reveal a certain amount of detail as to this recipe as it is her mother's recipe and a family secret. Here's what I managed to find out: it contained lots of rum and spices! I adore rum in any guise and it made this cake moist and rich. The fondant icing decoration was so pretty and looks like a Christmas pud!
Marie's "Snowflake surprise" almond cupcakes with vanilla and coconut frosting
The soft sponge and whippy frosting were both divine as was the beautiful snowflake topper but what was the secret? It was a gold wrapped chocolate coin! I'm assuming that Marie slotted it in after the cakes were baked as it was in pristine condition. This was a very clever idea and my nephew's face when it was revealed was a picture!
Hannah's Christmas word cupcakes
Each of Hannah's cakes had a festive word iced onto it; I'm always dead impressed by people who can write so nicely in icing! The cupcake summed up the flavours of Christmas: fruits, peel, spice and nuts. It was a lovely cupcake to finish on!
So there you are – all 42 cupcakes. I'm sure you'll agree we had a delicious array of designs and flavour. The ingenuity of our bakers is quite stunning!
That draws Iron Cupcake London 2009 to a close; thank you to all the bakers and eaters who have joined us on this wonderful journey and seen our little competition grow and grow and grow!
My heartiest thanks must go to my dedicated team of helpers who have assisted from the very first competition in May. Some have helped out when possible, others have been there for every challenge. I couldn't run this event without them.

do you have too much stuff?
June 19, 2004, 04:54 PM »
over the course of the past several weeks, i've been going through all of the boxes of stuff that i've collected over the years. when i moved into this apartment a year and a half ago, there was an "extra" room at the back end that was supposed to be my collection room. well of course, the only thing it collected was crap that had nowhere else to go. but i recently took all the boxes - every single last one - and moved them out of that back room to set up my collection.
so, i picked up a few cd racks that were made of wood and had some glass sliding doors on them for the loose figures, and i decided i was going to hang all of my carded figures on the surrounding walls.
now, my back room (which was supposed to house my entire collection) is full. and the only things i have back there are:
*modern 4" carded figures '95 to present
*loose 4" modern figures '95 to present
*loose 4" vintage figures '77 to '84
*a few loose vintage items (rancor, mail away stand and a few others)
and that's it.
i'm completely out of room. well, not completely. i have enough space for about another 75 carded figures on one wall, and maybe another 20 or so loose figures in the cases. after that, i'm done.
and that's only about 1/2 of the stuff that i wanted to display. the other stuff (vintage carded, modern and vintage 12" figures, lego, unleashed, model kits, statues, etc. etc.) is all scattered throughout two other rooms of the house - computer room and living room (the bedroom is off limits to star wars items, because it currently houses my nightmare before christmas collection). and i'm still not even done with all the items i was hoping to display.
of course, i also have about 20 posters that i was hoping to frame and display. but now, after all the shelves and book cases that are holding all this stuff are mounted to the walls, i have almost no free wall space.
does anybody else have this problem? do you have too much stuff? what do you do with it all? should i just move out and get a bigger apartment??

When we moved recently, and I spent the time packing and unpacking my stuff, I kind of got to feeling a little "overwhelmed" at times too. I don't have nearly the collections of many of the people here, and I have a very select few carded figures (which are packed away), so I'm sure I don't have the space issues that many others have. I guess I just don't like my collection to start to look "cluttered" or to look like I'm really jamming figures on the shelves either. Right now I don't have everything on display either, but would like to eventually. I have my modern, loose figures on some shelving that I put up in our office closet. I took the closet door off, and it works pretty well to display them in there. A few figures (old POTF2, and/or crappy Episode I or Saga figures) have gotten packed away, and I still don't have an area to display my vintage loose collection on (but I'm not done with that anyways, so it is ok). I have my Unleashed displayed on the top of my desk here, but would like to eventually get some "floating" shelves to put them on around the room. I also have another bookshelf that currently holds the B-Wing (that thing is tough to fit anywhere), Clone Wars Animated figs, Playskool Star Wars, the 25th Anniversary sets (and Trash Compactor Screen Scene), the two Target glass sets I have right now, and some prequel ships (Anakin/Zam speeder, Jedi Starfighter, Jango's Slave I). I also have my other, smaller collections on these shelves too (LOTR, Marvel Stuff).
I've started to consider being a little more selective with my collecting, just so I don't get too overwhelmed in here, or to figure out some more shelving. There is some great Star Wars stuff coming up (VOTC collection, Galactic Heroes, new Falcon, and a "few" new OTC figures), a few more LOTR and Marvel Legends figures I'd like to get, as well as a growing Spider-Man collection that I'm really getting into. Plus, now I'm starting to get interested in the SW Kubricks as well, so that won't help any (but at least they are smaller). Anyways, I know sometimes I wonder if I have "too much stuff", and I think sometimes I look over a few things here and there and wonder if I really
them or not. Sometimes it was some completist-ism coming over me, other times it was just that I hadn't seen anything new for a long time in stores, and settled. I have considered at time collecting only OT items, to keep it more limited, but when a new movie comes around, I just end up buying more than I should anyways. Plus, I do like to at least have some of the key characters from the prequels. Anyways, I do know what you are saying, I sometimes feel like I have "too much stuff" as well. As long as you are happy with your collection, and can figure out some way to enjoy it (displaying it, changing it out every few weeks/months, or buying a bigger house

Ha Ha Ha! I know what it's like to have too much stuff.
I have well over 1200 loose figures now on display in dioramas in a spare bedroom in my house (all on those nice heavy duty shelf units from Lowe's), and I don't think there is room for a 6th shelf for the upcoming EP3 figures. I am afraid I am screwed.
Most of my 12" collection is still at my parents' house, and my wife won't let me expand much of anything outside of the collection room. I do have a few on the computer desk, but she usually takes them down and throws them in a closet when she sees them.
I would think that collecting carded stuff would be even harder than loose since the packages take up so much space. But then again, loose army building people have huge problems too when the armies get out of control.

I also have a lot of stuff, and am moving into a house next week that I will have less space than I have now. What I plan to do, and I'm hoping works, is to rotate what I have on display every few months. The thing is, I'm a 36 year old man, so I don't actually "play" with my toys. But by changing my displays now and then, I can spend time actually interacting with my collection, and not just looking at it.

YES. This is why I have a 10' x 10' climate controlled storage unit.

I had around 1000 loose figures out that I recently packed up in zip lock bags and put away. I kept the unleash out and about 50 of my favorite 3 3/4. Between SW and TB LOTR figures, I just do not have the space in my office to display them. I too have backed off of my collecting and only collect the 3 3/4 that I want and the unleash that I want. I am more excited about the unleash then the 3 3/4. Also have ordered a couple of busts that I really like, and are cool to display.

Yeah, I have way too much stuff. My parents are pressuring me to get it out of their house, so I'm thinkng about renting a storage locker. Trouble is, Iowa winters are brutal, so I'm afraid that won't be any good for the collection.

Climate contolled storage is the answer! Just check your local yellow pages, and be sure to check the place out before you sign any kind of contract.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
But, I'm knee-deep in trying to find a new apartment, so that's on the back burner for now.

If you're apartment hunting, it could be more of a help than a hindrance. Having a place to stash your collection and whatever else while you're moving things like furniture and everything else in your life isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I move things to my storage unit when it's convenient and I'm headed in that general direction. It's worked out really well. However, the fact that I have a 10' x 10' storage unit nearly full, and it's mostly my toy collection is kind of frightening.

What's your plan for all that stuff Nick? Storage in the short term, but long term?
I am fortunate to have a crawl space in our house, but with moving plans, stuff will remain there for the forseeable future.
As far as too much goes, hell yeah, it's pretty obscene. I was in JediMac mode plus army builder mode for a while, so it's quite frightening. It's even scarier when I look at ebay and see what I could have paid, had I been patient. Oh well.

Short term it's going to stay there. Long term, I'm looking to get a house to keep everything in a specific room.

That really is the best plan.
I have a "Star Wars Room" in my house and love it. There is a lot of joking in my family that I get the SW Room and the Garage, and the rest of the house is my wife's (which is true from a decorating point of view).
My whole collection is stored safely in the 12x12 spare bedroom we have. Shelves, tables and what not, with carded figures stored in Hasbro boxes in the closet.
I only collect SW 3 3/4" figure line, so I've got no legos, 12" AF, micromachines, Legends, LotR, X-Men, Gundam, etc taking up space like others do, so I don't have too much stuff, because it all still fits in the room!

I think I'm going to pitch all the cards I've been saving. That'll save a lot of room.
My collection is pretty well handled, but my comics and magazines are the next pain in the ass. I suppose those could go to the new apartment, since I hope to score a two bedroom.

Editor's note: CNN contributor Bob Greene is a best-selling author whose books include "Late Edition: A Love Story" and "Once Upon a Town: The Miracle of the North Platte Canteen."
(CNN) -- "Sometimes I'll drive by the old stadium," Lisa Carver said, "and it kind of feels like a dream. You can almost hear the cheers from the crowds, even though the place is empty."
Carver is the administrator of the Chamber of Commerce in Portsmouth, Ohio, a river town at the southern tip of the state. The town's population has dwindled to fewer than 20,000 as, over the decades, manufacturing and retail jobs have disappeared, and when Carver, from her car, glances at the stadium she can scarcely believe who once played there:
A National Football League team.
"I often think about how different things might be here if they had stayed in town," she said.
On Sunday, the Green Bay Packers play the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl, and renewed attention will be paid to how the NFL has been such a large factor in putting its smallest member town, Green Bay, Wisconsin, on the map. For generations of Americans, the name Green Bay has equated to big league, because of the Packers and the NFL.
But in the early and struggling days of the NFL, when no one knew that the league would turn into the sports, entertainment and marketing giant it is today, it was not such a rarity for smaller towns to have a team. For four years in the 1930s, the Portsmouth Spartans were full-fledged members of the NFL. The team departed -- it moved to Michigan, where it was renamed the Detroit Lions -- but the stadium remained, and still stands, in a city that sometimes wonders how the course of its fortunes might have varied had it, like Green Bay, managed to stay in the game.
"I played in that stadium," said Portsmouth Mayor David Malone. "After the NFL team left town, the stadium was used for high school football, and it still is. I played safety and wide receiver for Portsmouth High School in the 1970s, but even by then, the Spartans had been gone for a long time, and people didn't talk about them much. We know that something like that will never happen again -- a National Football League team in a small town like ours."
It's hard to quantify the effect of a professional sports team on a city. Some of it is financial, but much is symbolic. What would have happened if Portsmouth had been able to hold on to the Spartans? In 1930, the first year that Portsmouth played in the NFL, the town's population was more than 42,000; the reasons that number has been more than cut in half have little directly to do with football. The big steel manufacturing plant closed down; other manufacturers also left town. Still, though, the civic leaders in Portsmouth today think that if the NFL had remained, the trajectory of the town might have been altered for the good.
"This was a booming shoe town," said the Chamber of Commerce's Carver. "There were four or five shoe factories here. One by one, they closed up. And, of course, when Detroit Steel left, everyone in the county felt the effect. You can't help thinking that if we still had an NFL team, people around the country would think of Portsmouth the way they do of Green Bay."
The Spartans, during their brief NFL life, had some pretty good years. In 1932, they tied for first place in the league with the Chicago Bears. The teams met for a playoff game in Chicago to determine the championship. Heavy snow and freezing temperatures necessitated moving the game indoors, to Chicago Stadium. The contest was played on a shortened 80-yard field, and was won by the Bears on a touchdown pass from -- how's this for big names? -- Bronko Nagurski to Red Grange. The Spartans came that close to bringing the championship of the National Football League home to Portsmouth.
Portsmouth has been going through some rugged times lately. The town and surrounding Scioto County were singled out in a recent Associated Press report that detailed the troubles that have come with rampant abuse and illegal sales of prescription painkillers. In the last 10 years, Portsmouth voters have twice removed sitting mayors in recall elections. Whatever excited noise and game-day color the National Football League once brought to the little town can seem like an increasingly distant echo.
"If they were still here, it would be such a great thing for the town to identify with," said Del Duduit, the sports editor of the Portsmouth Daily Times. "My goodness, it would have been the town's lifeblood. Look at Green Bay. With an NFL team as the draw, I think Portsmouth would have been a hustling, bustling town, really developed."
Duduit, like the mayor, played high school football games in Spartan Municipal Stadium. "It's still as it was," he said. "Big, old-style locker rooms. We'd be getting dressed for our games in the same room where NFL players used to get dressed for their games."
Detroit Steel, when it shut down its Scioto County factory in 1980, dealt a devastating economic blow to Portsmouth. The steel plant once employed as many as 5,000 workers. "The town has been economically down since then," Duduit said. "My wife's father was 40 when Detroit Steel closed and he lost his job. He worked at the open hearth in the steel mill. It was that kind of a blue-collar, manufacturing town. "
There is a 20-foot-high floodwall that runs for thousands of feet along Front Street where the Ohio River meets Portsmouth; the floodwall features a mural that depicts the history of the town, and of course the Spartans are represented by their own section of the wall. But on Super Bowl Sunday, the attention of the people of Portsmouth, as with much of the nation, will be focused on the Packers and the Steelers playing for the NFL championship in Texas, not on the fading memories of Portsmouth's team.
"It would have meant an awful lot to this town if the team had stayed," said Josh Richardson, managing editor of the Daily Times. "If Portsmouth had a team playing every Sunday, with Portsmouth team merchandise selling all over the world ... it's hard to even imagine the difference that might have made."
As it is, new generations of Portsmouth residents are further and further removed from knowing anything about the time when the National Football League was a part of the town's fabric. Del Duduit may cherish the experience of having played high school games in what was once an NFL stadium. But when he mentioned the Spartans to his own boys, he said, the reference drew a blank:
"My sons didn't know who they were."

Why We're Obsessing Over New Label Friends & Associates
Imagine you got to spend every day doing the thing you love with some of your closest friends. Now imagine that's your job. Editor/stylist Matthew Edelstein launched his contemporary fashion label this past December with that precise business model in mind, hence the name Friends & Associates. Instead of having just one person design for the brand, which offers a playful mix of modern sportswear, Edelstein invites a variety of creative talent to work together each season. The spring collection, complete with bright colour-blocking and charming polka-dot and gingham prints, is a follow-up to the debut Resort line and offers fun, easy-chic separates you can wear all summer long.

The person in a friend group that's technically part of said friend group but is only actually part of it when one is missing. Like a fifth spare tire.
by Crow98 June 11, 2018
n. Person who accompanies two (or more) couples in a social situation, who does not have a partner of his or her own. Often the fifth person's attendance is encouraged by one of the well-meaning but ignorant female partners, who may feel sorry for the lonely person, but will inevitably ignore them once the lovemaking starts. It carries the connotation that the fifth person is often an unneccesary and unwelcome addition to the scene in these conditions. Derived from "the fifth wheel of a car", which needing only four wheels to run, has no need of a fifth.
"Jim and Sue, Mike and Sally invited me to come camping with them, but I refused as I would only have been the fifth wheel on my own!"
by Mystikan January 01, 2004
A person (most likely single) who tags along on a double date.
Yeah... Daniel wanted to join our double date. I feel sorry for that fifth wheel.
by mrbrooksshoe April 14, 2011
its the spare tire on the back of your car, on the truck- perfect condition, with matching rims, and at times, a dectortive case for it-
fifth wheel on back- thats my fifth wheel- fifth wheel say high, wave bye bye- 20's is throwed is there only reply.
by mike jones, who September 03, 2004
A type of RV, like a pull trailer except the hitch or pin box is over the hook up that is in the bed of a pick up truck. Like a Silverado 2500 or 3500 HD or a Superduty. A fifth wheel evenly distributes its weight over the trucks rear wheels, making the ride smoother. There are many manufactures that offer fifth wheels with different floorplans and can vary greatly in prices and lengths. You need to buy the hitch adapter for hook up after you buy the truck. It can be bolted on or welded on. Unlike pull trailers, fifth wheels will not sway.
I bought a new truck and fifth wheel to go on vacation with.
by TravelingGuy April 22, 2011
A sexual position in which the female has her shoulders on the ground, ass in the air, and her partner penetrates her by approaching from the back and holding her legs in front of him/her, thus replicating the use of a fifth wheel trailer and a truck
Holy shit, did you see that porn star get fifth wheeled in that video? Her shoulders must be hurting!

Concern about ecstasy
Aug 14, 2012
I wrote in earlier about ecstasy and it's possible effects on delayed seroconversion. I should have noted that (so far) I am not HIV positive as my blood test at 19 weeks and my rapid blood prick at almost 22 weeks were both negative. I am waiting the next two weeks for my 24 week result but I have been confused by literature I've read about this drug and its effects on CD4 cells. Would using ecstasy somewhat frequently for about a year and half cause enough damage to the immune system to create false negatives for both of my test results? Thank you so much for your guidance and insight.
Response from Dr. Fawcett
Ecstasy does have an immunosuppressive effect, but I know of nothing in the medical literature documenting any impact of long-term ecstasy use on false negatives (or positives) of HIV tests. I would, however, caution you about such frequent use of the drug. It can be impure and users risk increased depression, the development of tolerance and other serious consequences such as heatstroke. You can read more about it here.

Gautam, a JLS Middle School eighth-grader, is working on a game that challenges players to match colored circles falling onto the screen with a multi-colored ball in the center. His friend and fellow JLS eighth-grader Kevin Frans is building a survival game involving colored bullets or balls.
The middle-school students are among 100 unpaid teens this summer creating iPhone games at MakeGamesWithUs, the brainchild of 20-year-old Ashutosh Desai and 21-year-old Jeremy Rossmann.
The pair are friends from their high school days at Menlo School, where Desai, at 16, sold 50,000 copies of his "Helicopter" game in the App Store, netting $35,000.
He recalls it as a "super-great experience.
"I got to learn more about computer science and I got to make some money as a 16-year-old," Desai said.
"But foremost was having thousands of people all around the world pay for something I created and writing positive reviews."
Last year Desai and Rossmann decided to take time off from college — UCLA and MIT respectively — to build games and make some money.
But in the hits-driven business of iPhone games they quickly realized that gathering a larger pool of game-makers would boost their odds of a big win, hence their offer to the students.
Desai and Rossmann provide interns with tutorials on game-building, help with coding questions, assistance with custom art, music and packaging and publishing games. If an intern chooses to publish through them — which they're not required to do — the founders take 30 percent.
"We only make money if what we taught you is useful. If it enabled you to build a successful game, then we make money," Desai said.
After running group sessions since last summer in Palo Alto, San Francisco, and at Menlo School, UCLA and MIT, Desai said they have shipped 17 games, declining to elaborate on whether he and Rossmann have made any money.
For students who know some programming and already love to fiddle, the internship offers an alluring way to spend the summer, with a possibility of profit.
On the front patio of the Palo Alto house last week, friends and recent Gunn High School graduates Meera Parat, David Bell and Lisa Yan sat together working on their games.
Yan heard about the internship from her Gunn computer science teacher and told Bell, who told Parat.
"It's surprisingly easy to apply," said Bell, whose game involves a thief trying to sneak past security systems to steal a painting and make an escape.
"We've all made simple stuff in the computer science classes — you should definitely take computer science before you do this."
Yan's game challenges players on pop culture, asking them to identify, for example, a movie poster with the text removed.
Parat described her game as "similar to 'Dance Dance Revolution,'" but on an iPhone.
Desai said he and Rossmann recruited at high schools and colleges, accepting about 100 of 160 applicants for internships in the Palo Alto and San Francisco locations. Students are asked to stay a minimum of four weeks and commit to completing at least one game.
"Be prepared to grind, and we'll make sure you have fun while you're at it," the recruitment website promises.
Luis Garcia, a recent graduate of Eastside College Preparatory School in East Palo Alto, heard about the internship from the school's coordinator for summer programs.
"I decided to go with this because it's a fun, interactive internship," said Garcia, who's working on a game involving a chicken running and trying to evade attacks from humans.
Sixteen-year-old Stephanie Campa of Los Altos Hills, who has her learner's permit, typically drives with at least one of her parents to the internship. Campa learned about the program through her computer science class at Menlo School and is working on a game involving dragging a ball to a goal — with 50 different levels of complications.
Gautam and Kevin — whose bike ride to the internship takes him 30 to 45 minutes each way — are the youngest game makers, whose ages range from 13 to 23.
Kevin said his productivity in coding is boosted by listening to Green Day, or whatever comes up on his iTunes shuffle, while he works.
"Kevin started two weeks after me, and he's already 1,000 lines of code ahead," his friend Gautam said.

Captain's Report
By Capt. Steve--
Mission Statement
The mission of the Sylvan Mirage 8522 LZ is to provide a comfortable and luxurious pontoon boat at a cost-efficient price point. She's offered in two versions, with slight modifications to the seating layout differentiating between the two. With her RPT toon design she gets on plane fast which should appeal to watersports enthusiasts.
Distinguishing Features
Four Admiral's Chairs.
These chairs are as comfortable as can be because they swivel and even recline. The armrests are self leveling. Some boats have one or two, but we rarely see four.•
Painted Fencing.
We typically see panels that are fixed with decals to add highlights. These are actually painted and offered in a choice of four colors.•
All Aluminum Transom.
This is a departure from the extended pressure-treated wood platforms, mostly covered in carpet, that we normally see. •
Standard Docking Lights.
There are few things in boating more restful than a sunset cruise on an inland lake in the summer. And its nice to see the approaching dock when coming home. •
RPT Tubes.
Sylvan calls this Revolutionary Planing Technology and it not only offers quicker times to plane, but the Mirage gets up on plane from a level attitude. The tubes also have a 20-degree deadrise to a hard chine on both sides of the toon, much like a deep-V monohull or the pontoons on a sea planes, which usually have a 24-degree deadrise.•
6-Year Warranty.
Sylvan offers a 6-year warranty on all components from stem to stern. Its toons and marine plywood deck are warranted for a lifetime and are transferrable to a second owner, according to the company.
Tube Construction
Pontoon construction is moving more and more into an advanced area providing boats with more sportboat-like characteristics. The design team at Sylvan call their design RPT for Revolutionary Planing Technology and they seem to have an interesting, and effective take on how it's done. The tubes are 25" (63.5 cm) across with flat sides. The bottom takes on the contour of a V-hull sportboat with flat chines and, what could accurately be described as a 20-degree deadrise bottom. There's even a keel at the bottom to aid in tracking.
The engine mounting pod is even more characteristic of a boat hull with a vertical stem and sharp entry and a bottom that gets lower as the design moves aft. There are even two planing fins with beveled outer edges mounted to the sides. Lifting strakes are added to the front of the tubes.
The Sylvan Mirage 8522 LZ has a LOA of 23'10" (7.26 m) and a beam of 8'6" (2.59 m). With an empty weight of 2,295 lbs.(1,041 kg), 30 gallons (113.6 L) of fuel, two people and test power on board we had a test weight of 3,313 lbs. (1,503 kg). With a 150-hp Evinrude E-TEC turning a 15 5/8 x 13" SSP prop we reached a top speed of 5650 rpm of 34.9 mph. At that speed fuel burn was 15.7 gph giving us a range of 60 miles. She doesn't really have a best planing speed so users can determine for themselves whether they want to go far or fast. With that said, I found her to be most comfortable at 3500 rpm and 20.5 mph. That produced a fuel burn of 6.3 gph which the Sylvan Mirage could keep up for 4 hours and 18 min. and 88 miles.
Hole-Shot Wizard.
Thanks to the RPT tubes and her 2-stroke Evinrude E-TEC power we reached planing speed in only 2.6 seconds, accelerated through 20 mph in 3.4 seconds and 30 mph in 6.2 seconds. These are remarkable times for what is essentially a twin-toon boat.
The 8522 LZ seems to come up on plane from a level attitude thanks to the wings mounted from the sides of the extended engine pod. Engine trim seems to have little to no effect as I noticed no difference in the spray coming from the sides of the boat or in the speed as we cruised along the lake.We put her through a fairly punishing test amid chop generated by 20 mile-an-hour winds. Testing in these kinds of conditions can bring out the worst in a pontoon boat. They can hobby horse or drench the passengers aboard. Happily, the Mirage 8522 performed well. The ride was surprisingly dry and while we did experience some hard bumps, it was nothing more than what was to be expected when running nearly 35 mph into consecutive speed bumps in the face of 20-mph winds. (The apparent wind was 55 mph.) With the two tubes being spaced well apart, I did notice some flexing of the foredeck, but again nothing more than expected on a twin-tube design.When turning I noticed that she tends to lean to the outside of the turns roughly 4 ½- degrees. This is the nature of virtually all twin-toon pontoon boats, and the Mirage 8522 LZ is no exception. FYI -- catamaran powerboats do the same thing, and it is just the nature of the design.
The Comfort Factor.
As noted above, the RPT hulls are not round, but rather have a 20-degree deadrise. Just as in monohulls, where a 20 to 24-degree deadrise is molded into the bottom to make the boat more comfortable at high speed in a wicked chop, so, too, does the Mirage 8522 LZ have a 20-degree deadrise in each of its toons for the same reason. And while I have no gauge to measure it, the seat of pants tells me that this boat was more comfortable barreling through the chop than conventional twin toons. For years we have tried getting video on all sorts of boats in choppy conditions, but the camera is all over the place and no one could watch the video, nor would it mean anything. That's why we shoot in flat water, as we did for this test in the lee of a peninsula. When it comes to ride, readers will just have to take my word for it.
Features Walkthrough
Forward Deck
A boarding gate at the bow leads to roomy bow seating that features three admiral's chairs to the port side and a wraparound lounge to the starboard side just ahead of the helm. One of the two pedestal bases for the single standard pedestal table is mounted in the center of the foredeck. All seating is as comfortable as I've ever felt on any pontoon boat and the admiral's chairs swivel and recline. An insulated cooler with drink holders lies between the two forward seats.
The helm of the Sylvan Mirage is an excellent example of elegant simplicity. The console is a beige tone to reduce glare and faux wood panels are recessed into tan vinyl. White-faced gauges with chrome bezels are to either side of the leather wrapped three-spoke wheel. A door to the side of the helm console allows access to the storage beneath. Directly across the helm is a portside boarding gate.
The stern of our test boat featured wraparound seating with three of the seats having drink holders embedded into the seatbacks. The seats to both sides also had stainless steel grilles mounted to the speakers. The forward ends of the seats are 2' 4 ½" (.71m) across and the seats themselves are 3'5" (1.05 m) across. The corner seats had a battery to one side and a steering pump underneath the cushion to the other side. The remaining seats all have the usual accommodations for storage underneath.
The center-aft seat is removable allowing access to the stern gate and the swim platform. The seat can also be relocated to the bow to increase the seating in that area. The swim platform on our test boat was covered with the optional teak grain vinyl flooring. A reboarding ladder was secured to the starboard side but with its hinge point being so low to the water I found it difficult to retract from the deployed position.
My overall impression of the Sylvan Mirage is that she presents a very comfortable and functional entertaining platform with versatile seating that is among the most comfortable on any pontoon boat I have ever tested. By putting four admiral's seats on the Mirage 8522, everyone can be a grand pooh bah at least for some of the cruise. Don't snicker -- it's a great feeling and guests will love it. Her handling characteristics and hole shot times also make her an excellent watersports platform so feel free to bring the kids along on the next waterborne adventure. With a time to plane even oldsters will be able to get up on skis without much trouble. And that, together with her comfortable ride are this boat's strong suits.For those looking for even faster WOT speeds we suggest consideration of one of Sylvan's tri-toon hulls. Tri-toons are generally faster than twin toons. The Mirage 8522 is somewhat in the middle because of its centerline RPT engine pod that undoubtedly aids her time to plane and top speed of 34.9 mph top speed.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Sylvan Mirage 8522 LZ (2013-) is 34.9 mph (56.2 kph), burning 15.70 gallons per hour (gph) or 59.42 liters per hour (lph).

U.S. Market Futures Rise On Cyprus Bailout Deal
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock market futures are rising following a deal in Europe for a 10 billion euro ($13 billion) bailout for Cyprus that will shrink its banking sector, but keep the nation using the euro.
Dow Jones industrial average futures are up 39 to 14,498. Nasdaq 100 futures added 14.2 to 2,807.8. S&P 500 futures are up 6.50 to 1,558.50.
Dell Inc. is up 3 percent after the PC maker received takeover bids from private equity firm Blackstone Group and activist investor Carl Icahn. Both rival the $24 billion-plus bid from a group that includes founder Michael Dell.
The Cyprus deal is providing a lift for European markets. Germany's DAX and France's CAC-40 are both up over 1 percent. Most Asian markets earlier rallied on the plan, but Chinese stocks fell.

When the DTs were bad, the writer Malcolm Lowry had a trick to stop his shaking hands from spilling his drink. He would remove his tie, place it around the back of his neck, wrap either end around each hand, take hold of his glass, then pulled the tie with his free hand, which acted as a pulley, lifting the glass straight to his mouth. Lowry drank anything, hair tonic, rubbing alcohol, aftershave, anything. But unlike most drunks, Lowry was a dedicated writer, a constant chronicler of his own life - everything was noted down as possible material for his novels, and generally, it was. He couldn't enter a bar or cantina without leaving with at least four pages of hand-written notes. That's dedication.
In 1947, when Lowry's novel Under the Volcano was published, he was hailed as the successor to James Joyce, and his novel hit the top of the New York Times Best Seller List. Move ten years on, to the English village of Ripe, Lowry is dead from an overdose, at the age of forty-eight, penniless, forgotten, with his books out of print. It was an ignoble death for such a brilliant writer, a death that has since been clouded with the suspicion he was murdered by his wife, Margerie Bonner, who may (it has been suggested) have force-fed him pills when drunk - for the pills he swallowed were prescribed to Margerie, and Lowry was unlikely to have taken his own life without writing copious notes of his final experience.
Lowry was born in Cheshire in 1909 and educated at The Leys School and St Catharine's College, Cambridge. At school he discovered the two passions that were to last the whole of his life - writing and drinking. He wrote poetry and became friends with the American poet and novelist, Conrad Aiken, sending him letters about his drunken excesses. Aiken recognized Lowry's natural talent and encouraged the teen literary tyro to write. But Lowry didn't have the experience to write from, so between school and university, he enrolled as a deckhand and sailed to the far east. This provided him with the material for his first novel Ultramarine (1933), the story of a privileged young man, Dana Hilliot, and his need to be accepted, by his shipmates. The story takes place during 48-hours on board a tramp steamer, the Oedipus Tyrannus, "outward bound for Hell." Like all of Lowry's work it is semi-autobiographical, and contains the nascent themes he would develop in Under the Volcano (1947), Dark as the Grave Wherein My Friend is Laid (1968) and October Ferry to Gabriola (1970).
Booze flows through Lowry's writing. It's a way of escape, as much as the sea voyages and plane journeys he wrote about. In Medieval times, a definition of possession included drunkenness, and Lowry was well aware of drink's shamanic association:
"The agonies of the drunkard find their most accurate poetic analogue in the agonies of the mystic who has abused his powers."
Few writers physically endured the excesses of alcohol or wrote about them so powerfully. While everyone knows Under the Volcano and its tale of the descent into Hell of alcoholic British consul, Geoffrey Firmin, during the Day of the Dead, in the small Mexican town of Quauhnahuac, it is his novella Lunar Caustic which gives the clearest insight into the cost of Lowry's alcoholism. It's the harrowing tale of Bill Plantagenet, a pianist and ex-sailor who, after a long night's drinking, awakens to find himself in New York's Bellevue psychiatric hospital surrounded by the dispossessed and insane.
The story is as much about Lowry as it is about the "collective and individual anxieties of the age," and it was a story Lowry worked on repeatedly during his life. Early versions were published in literary magazines, and Lowry eventually spliced it together into a novella he thought too "gruesome" to publish in his lifetime, though he gave it a most interesting title:
Lunar Caustic as a sardonic and ambiguous title for a cauterizing work on madness has, | feel, a great deal of merit. But lunar caustic is also silver nitrate and used unsuccessfully to cure syphilis. And indeed as such it might stand symbolically for any imperfect or abortive cure, for example of alcoholism.
Like many drunks, Lowry teetered between self-pity and self-loathing, but the writer in him kept a careful watch on his often disastrous and eventful life, and it is because of this his writing never indulged in the worst excesses of the bar-room drunk of being boring. Indeed, Lowry's books are complex enough to deserve more than one reading, for as Schopenhauer once wrote:
"Any book that is at all important ought to be at once read through twice; ... on a second reading the connection of the different portions of the book will be better understood, and the beginning comprehended only when the end is known; and partly because we are not in the same temper and disposition on both readings."
Volcano: An Inquiry into the Life and Death of Malcolm Lowry is an Oscar nominated documentary which:
focuses on Malcolm Lowry, author of one of the major novels of the 20th century, Under the Volcano. But while Lowry fought a winning battle with words, he lost his battle with alcohol. Shot on location in four countries, the film combines photographs, readings by Richard Burton from the novel and interviews with the people who loved and hated Lowry, to create a vivid portrait of the man.
It does create a vivid portrait, but one under the shadow of Lowry's last wife Marjorie Bonner, and it was not until after her death, in 1988, and the publication of Gordon Bowker's top-class biography, Pursued by Furies: A Life of Malcolm Lowry, that a complete picture of Lowry came to fruition. Still it's a damn fine documentary, and well worth the watch. As for an epitaph, I'll leave that to the man himself:
Malcolm Lowry
Late of the Bowery
His prose was flowery
And often glowery
He lived, nightly, and drank daily
And died, playing the ukelele
Previously on Dangerous Minds
Kerouac's Boozy Beatitudes on Italian TV, 1966

I'm always intrigued by our monthly look at the most-viewed stories on our Web site, www.catholicnews.com, because it represents what our readers are paying attention to — whether we like it or not. Journalists often have their own ideas for what is important, but stats like these remind us that readers sometimes have different thoughts.
Still, this month's list contains no big surprises — except if you find surprising the fact that, so soon after the April visit of Pope Benedict to the United States, only one story related to the trip made it into the top 10 for May.
Here's the list:
1. Vatican letter directs bishops to keep parish records from Mormons (far and away the most-read story for the month, much of it generated by the buzz it created in the Mormon world).
2. Vatican: Receiving Eucharist kneeling may not be permanent change (because liturgical stories always are well read, such as January's No. 1).
3. God made pre-humans into people, Vatican newspaper says (ditto any story touching on evolution).
4. N.Y. bishop ends practice of Communion at celebration of the word (see No. 2 above).
5. Liturgy, stem cells, sex abuse among topics at bishops' June meeting (because what the bishops do is always of interest to avid "inside-baseball" fans).
6. U.S. pilgrims cope with expenses, logistics to get to World Youth Day (a great story our Carol Zimmermann did about the long road to Australia).
7. Ecumenical meeting marks first time Mormons join in papal gathering (the lone top-10 papal trip story this month, generated in part by interest in No. 1 above).
8. Directive from Archbishop Flynn ends lay preaching at Mass (liturgy again).
9. Retired Sydney bishop doesn't want fight with U.S. bishops over book (about a controversial U.S. book tour by an Australian bishop).
10. Priest calls for new strategies to keep young adults in church (because we all wonder whether our sons and daughters will stick around).
The biggest surprise to me? The fact that Vatican astronomer says if aliens exist, they may not need redemption did not make the list (it finished 13th). We've seen before that space-alien stories create their own buzz.

(Machias, ME) The Clippers were unable to find the back of the net for a second goal to secure a win today. SMCC took the lead in the first half when Nick Broadhurst beat his defender and found the back of the net. The Clippers answered 12 minutes later when Stefan Zalucky assisted on a Frack Zeba goal. The two team battled through two overtimes, but neither team was able to breat the tie. The Clippers trave to Bangor Tuesday for another conference game.
