Lettering for a cause
Hi! I'm Dio, you Lettering Coach at Lettering Bootcamp.
My passion for lettering and writing tools dates back to my early childhood, but it hadn't had an impact on my life until the fall of 2015 when I turned to my lettering skills in an effort to make one of my daughter's dreams come true.
After accumulating a few thousand dollars in medical bills earlier in the year, we simply didn't have the funds to send her to San Francisco for band competition with her peers. Given that she is my only child, I found it difficult to deprive her of an opportunity she so eagerly wanted to experience. So what does a creative mom do in this situation? She creates a "hand-lettered mugs fundraiser" - that's what she does!
I spent the next few weeks painting mugs in the evenings after work, getting just 5-6 hours of sleep each night and working full 8-hour "lettering shifts" on Saturdays and Sundays. It was A LOT of work, but in a matter of weeks, I had delivered over 200 mugs and raised the $1,300 needed to fund her trip.
After hearing stories of the sacrifices other parents made in order to send their children to band competition (like the single mom who sold her TV & dining set), I decided to create a couple of e-courses, Lettering Bootcamp and Lettering On Mugs, where I teach everything I know about hand lettering and painting letters on coffee mugs.
My hope is that everyone who takes my e-courses will benefit on many levels. From enjoying the challenge that comes with learning a new skill, to gaining the confidence to sell their lettering artwork and earn extra income to fund their dreams and goals.

Grand Theft Auto V App Is Available
In short advance of tomorrow's launch of Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar has released a free iOS app that lets you customize your car, among other things.
Grand Theft Auto: iFruit lets you customize the look of your car as well as upgrade it courtesy of Los Santos Customs, and it will be waiting for you when you turn on the game. The app can be used to create and reserve custom license plates for GTA V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
It also contains Chop the Dog, where you will virtually care for Franklin's pet dog, Chop. Take care of him well in the app, and in game he'll earn you credits (which you can exchange for new collars), be more responsive, perform tricks, and even find you hidden items when you take him out for a walk in the game.
The app is now available on on iOS for free. An Android version is expected soon.
For more on the game, check out Matt Bertz's review.
[Source: MCV]
Our Take:
As more and more games utilize apps to further the experience, do you prefer those that you use alongside you while you're playing the game, or those that work outside of it? I generally prefer the latter, like in this case.

About the Book
Title: The Dome
Series: Sulan, Episode 3
Author: Camille Picott
Publisher: Pixiu Press
Release Date: January 15, 2017
Genre: Young Adult Dystopian Cyberpunk
Links: Goodreads | Amazon | Smashwords
After escaping the League, Sulan and her friends are granted entrance into the Dome, a utopian biodome in the wilderness of Alaska. Sulan soon finds herself a pawn in Global Arms's political maneuvers to secure the national mercenary contract. Forced to put on a public persona that makes her skin crawl, she must charm Vex media moguls to further the cause of Global. Should she fail to embrace her new role as company spokesperson, the consequences will be deadly to everyone she loves.
Meanwhile, the League unleashes a new deadly threat on the United States. When Sulan and her friends stumble on the trail of a League mole within the Dome, they set out to track him down. Will they be safe in their new home, or will they find themselves trapped among enemies?
Excerpt #3
I stare as we draw abreast of the buffet. Never in my life have I seen so much food in one place. Most of it is stuff I've only seen in old movies, or food I've only had on a few special occasions in my life.
There are platters of fruit, toast, pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage … so much food I barely know where to start when Timmy shoves a plate into my hands.
"That's bacon," Taro says, nudging me. He points to a platter piled high with stiff, reddish-brown meat. A woman in a green polo stands beside it, doling out one slice per person.
"Have you had real bacon before?" Billy asks Taro. "Is it good?"
"Never tried it," Taro replies. "My dad says it's the best food on Earth. Says it's one of the things he misses most from pre-'Fault days."
"If Black Ice likes bacon, I'm definitely trying it." Billy holds up a plate to receive his allotted piece. He pops it into his mouth and chews. "Oh yeah," he says around a mouthful. "This is good stuff."
"You all have got to try it," Timmy says. "It is, like, the most amazing stuff ever. It's only the second time we've gotten bacon. It's only for special occasions."
"What was the last occasion?" Hank asks.
"Our first day in the Dome. We got bacon and cake that day."
"What's today's occasion?" I hold up my plate to receive my piece.
"You guys," Timmy says. "See?" He points to a large screen I hadn't noticed before.
On the screen are scenes from last night's press conference. It's too loud to hear anything, but large subtitles roll along the bottom. Now that I'm looking, I see screens all over the room. And I see people whispering and pointing at us.
The unwanted attention makes sweat prickle along my spine. Billy and Taro seem to share my discomfort, both of them casting their eyes downward, but Hank smiles at the pointing fingers and curious eyes.
I turn back toward the buffet tables; much easier to look at food and pretend everyone in the room isn't staring at me and my friends. Easier to pretend everyone in this place isn't seeing me in that horrible stripper outfit.
"All the food comes from the Dome," Timmy says. "We grow and raise everything we eat and drink. Most of our protein comes from rabbits, though there are goats and pigeons, too. And chickens. And pigs. I've heard a guinea pig breeding program is also underway. Protein is highly rationed for everyone."
"Meat protein, you mean," Taro says. "There are lots of ways to get protein that don't involve eating dead animals."
"Ignore the vegetarian in our midst," Hank says, smiling at a group of Normie kids ogling at us.
Timmy gives Taro a curious look, then says, "Can I have your bacon ration?"
Taro shrugs. "Be my guest."
I stuff the bacon into my mouth and hold out my plate for fruit. I freeze as flavor explodes on my tongue. The meat is a bit crunchy on the outside, but soft and juicy on the inside. For a moment, I forget all about Mr. Winn, the Dome, and our suffocating lives here. I can't focus on anything beyond salty, smoky bacon flavor in my mouth.
"Oh my God," I say, turning to Taro. "I know you're a vegetarian, but if you're ever going to eat meat, I swear this is the stuff you want."
Taro's eyes widen, then he chuckles. "That's what my dad says." He ignores the bacon and holds his plate out for toast.
"Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll start raising more pigs," Timmy says. "Like, a lot more."

Sixteen-year-old Sulan Hom can't remember life before the Default—the day the United States government declared bankruptcy. As a math prodigy, she leads a protected life, kept safe from the hunger and crime plaguing the streets of America. She attends the corporate-sponsored Virtual High School, an academy in Vex (Virtual Experience) for gifted children.
Beyond the security of Sulan's high-tech world, the Anti-American League wages a guerrilla war against the United States. Their leader, Imugi, is dedicated to undermining the nation's reconstruction attempts. He attacks anything considered a national resource, including corporations, food storage facilities—and schools. When Sulan witnesses the public execution of a teenage student and the bombing of a college dorm, she panics.
Her mother, a retired mercenary, refuses to teach her how to defend herself. Sulan takes matters into her own hands. With the help of her hacker best friend, Hank, Sulan acquires Touch—an illegal Vex technology that allows her to share the physical experience of her avatar. With Touch, Sulan defies her mother and trains herself to fight.
When Imugi unleashes a new attack on the United States, Sulan finds herself caught in his net. Will her Vex training be enough to help her survive and escape?

Dr. Hom intercedes to save Riska's life, presenting a new proposal to Global Arms. Riska is released into his care. The eccentric doctor is the first human to show him kindness, and a bond is quickly forged between the two. But even as Dr. Hom alters Riska in the desired direction of Global Arms, it becomes clear he has his own agenda.
First and foremost among those is to create a personal bodyguard for his daughter, Sulan. In this next installment of the Sulan series, discover Riska's origin and join his quest to find Sulan when she is taken by League soldiers."

Press Release: 2016 Madawaska Multiple Incident Full Scale Exercise
Aroostook County EMA Partners with Madawaska in Multi-Incident Exercise Series
Aroostook EMA (AKEMA), in conjunction with the Town of Madawaska, will be conducting a large, Full Scale public safety exercise in Madawaska, Maine. On August 20th, 2016, numerous agencies will come together to participate in the 2016 Madawaska Multiple Incident Full Scale Exercise.
The public can expect to see an influx of public safety traffic in and around Madawaska on the morning of August 20th. We kindly ask the public to keep from the exercise locations for their safety and to ensure the first responders are able to complete the exercise objectives. The locations involved in this weekend's exercise include the Madawaska Public Safety Complex, the Madawaska Middle/High School, and the Evergreen Trading facility in St. David, Maine.
The objectives of this exercise include evaluating municipal emergency response, school planning, regional public safety coordination, law enforcement active shooter response, and hazardous materials response.
The exercise series has been conducted in several parts including two Tabletop discussion-based exercises prior to August's large Full Scale exercise. In coordination with these early exercises, two Active Shooter training sessions were provided to Law Enforcement agencies throughout Aroostook County. Additionally, participating agencies are coordinating a Recovery focused exercise for some time in September.
"This scenario is much larger in scale than exercises we've conducted in previous years. Many moving pieces from multiple public safety agencies will be involved on the day of the full scale exercise," said Deputy Director Jesse Belanger of Aroostook County EMA. "Testing our Incident Command systems and working together on a regional level will be center stage during these exercises."
Participating organizations include but are not limited to: • Ambulance New Brunswick
• Ambulance Service, Inc
• American Red Cross
• Aroostook County Emergency Management
• Aroostook County Incident Management Assistance Team • Aroostook County Sheriff's Department
• Aroostook County Decon Strike Team 1

• United States Border Patrol
• United States Customs and Border Protection
Aroostook County coordinates a number of exercises every year, with at least one large full-scale exercise annually. These exercises provide opportunity for organizations to practice their readiness and ability to cooperate with other agencies in a real life scenario, and provide a basis to make necessary improvements.
For more information on these public safety exercises or other current public safety information, you can go to the Aroostook County Emergency Management Website at www.aroostookema.com, or like our Facebook page.

By Paul Fisher, Processing Archivist
Texas Jewish Historical Society members exploring display in Texas Collection reading room. The materials on display for society members to view included representative items from over nineteen collections documenting the life and faith experience of Jewish people in Waco.
On January 24, The Texas Collection welcomed the Texas Jewish Historical Society to a special display of materials on Jewish life and faith in Central Texas. Members of the society viewed many different kinds of materials, including:
- a letter to a German Jewish family by the German secret police, warning them to leave the country (they later came to Waco, Texas),
- an elaborate green velvet scrapbook with photographs from the 1800s of the Goldstein family in Waco,
- photographs of Jewish-owned businesses in Waco, such as the Goldstein-Migel and Sanger Brothers department stores,
- membership cards and past meeting pamphlets from the Texas Jewish Historical Society, and
- photographs of Temple Rodef Sholom and Congregation Agudath Jacob in Waco from the early 1900s.
All together, The Texas Collection has more than 20 Jewish-related collections available for researchers to explore. Most of these collections are unprocessed, meaning they are not yet described through a finding aid in BARD or housed in modern acid-free boxes and folders. However, two Jewish collections have been processed recently, the De Cordova Family papers 1845-1956 and the Waco Chapter of Hadassah records 1928-2009, and we hope to process the rest of them soon. Stay tuned for more news about our Jewish collections!

Following a successful 2017 Formula Student Australasia competition, Monash Motorsport embarked on what has been our most ambitious Europe campaign to date. During our two month stay, we competed with both our combustion and first year electric car in the Formula Student UK, Austria and Germany competitions. We set out not only to improve upon our previous international campaign, but also to represent Australian engineering and demonstrate our hard work through achieving fantastic results.
Unlike the previous campaign, this time we competed with two cars, which meant double the work in terms of preparation and logistics. In order to fully optimise the cars and maximise driver seat time prior to shipping, the team worked tirelessly to execute the rigorous testing plan. By the time the shipping container was sealed, M17-E and M17-C had driven a combined total of 3300 km, and all of our drivers were feeling confident and competition ready.
European Campaign Timeline, 2018
Once arrived in Germany on the 27th of June, we were again hosted by Rennteam and Greenteam based at the University of Stuttgart, who generously provided us with facilities and a workspace for two months. Additionally, we stayed with our friends from Oxford Brookes Racing five days prior to Formula Student UK as well as being hosted by DHBW Engineering Stuttgart after Formula Student UK. This was a fantastic opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience, as well as observe how some of the world's best teams operate on a day to day basis.
Throughout the weeks leading up to competition, we also had the opportunity to test with KA-Raceing from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Global Formula Racing from DHBW Ravensburg and Oregon State University, TUFast Racing from the Technical University of Munich and Cardiff Racing from Cardiff University – some of the highest performing teams in the Formula Student competition – as well as receiving an invitation to attend the selective practice event hosted by Bosch Germany at their Boxberg automotive proving ground facility. By then, the team and the cars were ready to tackle the first competition.
Testing with KA-Raceing, 2018
We were welcomed to Silverstone by incredibly beautiful weather which lasted throughout the competition. The competition began with the team achieving quality static results as well as reaching the Design event final, where the car concepts and team's detailed designs are under the scrutiny of professional motorsport engineers from some of the largest and most successful race teams and OEMs in the world. We were ecstatic to have finished in 3rd place out of 7 finalists and overall 65 teams with M17-C.
The dynamic events started on one of the hottest days of the heat wave during Formula Student UK. We designed our car to withstand Australian summer weather so overheating was not an issue for us.
Formula Student UK Awards Ceremony, 2018
We performed strongly during dynamic events achieving 2nd and 3rd place in Autocross for M17-C and M17-E respectively. Following up these fantastic results, the team scored 1st and 2nd place for M17-C and M17-E in the Endurance event; the best overall dynamic event results for Monash at any European competition. The team was ecstatic to have achieved Overall 1st place for our Combustion car and Overall 3rd place for our Electric car which was also the highest ranked electric vehicle. This was our first ever international competition win and a phenomenal start to our Europe Campaign.
Following this, the team had a few weeks to prepare for our next two competitions. After this, we made the six hour journey to the Red Bull Ring for Formula Student Austria. While this was a more tight-knit competition with only 47 other teams in attendance, it still proved to be a tough competition with many world renowned electric and combustion teams such as Formula Student Delft Racing from Technology University of Delft, AMZ Racing from ETH Zurich and TU Graz Racing from Graz University of Technology. We were impressed with our statics results gaining 1st place for both Combustion Design Event and Business Presentation, as well as 2nd place for Electric Business Presentation and top 10 placings for the Electric Design and Cost & Manufacturing Events.
M17-C and M17-E out for endurance at Formula Student Austria, 2018
The cars performed consistently throughout the dynamic events and achieving top 10 results in Autocross for both categories, and crossing the line in 3rd and 4th place in Endurance for the Combustion and Electric classes respectively. We achieved an amazing result once again with M17-C placing 2nd place Overall and M17-E placing 4th place overall in their respective categories.
With two competitions down and 4 days until our final competition, we launched straight into our final competition, Formula Student Germany. This was the biggest of the three competitions with 115 teams competing in 3 different classes (Combustion, Electric and Driverless) across 6 days. The additional Driverless division provided us with the opportunity to not only be able to observe exciting engineering designs and innovation, but also allowed us to gain and exchange technical knowledge with which we could apply to our future Driverless vehicle.
The high standard of performance from all teams across static and dynamic events really put us to the test. We were thrilled to have achieved 2nd place in Combustion Design event, our team's highest ever result at Formula Student Germany, and equal 1st in Electric Business Presentation. While our dynamic events were not as impressive as that of the previous competitions, both cars achieved 14th place in Autocross out of 52 Combustion and 25 Electric teams, and placed 9th and 5th for Combustion and Electric Endurance respectively. In the Combustion Endurance event, 24 out of 58 cars finished the event, while in the Electric Endurance event, only 14 out of 39 cars finished the event. We finished in Overall 6th place in both categories – an excellent result especially for having competed against more experienced electric teams with our first ever electric car.
The Team at Formula Student Germany, 2018
The 2018 Europe campaign was one of learning and pushing the limits of what we could do as a team. Every team member gained a great deal of knowledge and forged new friendships with teams from all around the globe. We are extremely proud of the results we have achieved during the campaign and it proved to be an invaluable learning experience.
We would like to thank Rennteam and Greenteam Stuttgart, Oxford Brookes Racing and DHBW Engineering Stuttgart for being such welcoming hosts, and to KA-Raceing, Global Formula Racing, TUFast Racing and Cardiff Racing for generously sharing your testing grounds with us. It was an absolute pleasure to work and compete alongside you.
We extend our gratitude towards Monash University, KTM Australia, Hare and Forbes, Form-A-Sign, PhoenxPLM, Wago and Calm Aluminium – thank you for your generous support throughout the year. A special mention to Gibson Freight who provided us with logistical assistance and expertise, and Bosch Germany for inviting us to their competition practice day. What we achieved in the Europe Campaign was only possible through your help.
Finally, we would like to thank our academic advisors, industry partners, family, friends and our supporters cheering us on from all over the world. We have gained so much knowledge and witnessed amazing feats of engineering and are excited to take these experiences through to our next big challenge; the manufacture and demonstration of our driverless vehicle.
With the Formula SAE Australasia competition right around the corner, we are extremely motivated and ready for what is to come!
– Ruth Li (Business)

Vocals: 6 Secrets Of In-Your-Face Vocals
Do your recordings suffer from vocal tracks that don't cut it? Are your fans under the false impression that you are an instrumental band? Do paranormal investigators claim the vocals on your CD are actually recordings from the spirit world? Well, read on, because I'm going to give you six ways to put those pathetic whispers you've been recording upfront and in-your-face.
Use a Good Preamp
When it comes to recording vocals, beg, borrow, or steal a nice preamp. A high-end box will impart a punchy vibe that you have to experience to believe. You don't think professional engineers and producers plop down several grand on a great mic preamp just to stroke their egos, do ya?
Pity the Fool Who Doesn't Get a Good Level
Recording your voice too soft will result in noise and hum when you boost it to in-your-face levels at mixdown. Record it too hot, however, and you are sure to get distortion. So, if you're recording a sensitive, chanteusetype singer, position the mic four to six inches from their mouth. Put your average rock screamer about one foot away. Also, tell singers to back off the mic a few inches when they get loud, and move in a few inches closer for quiet parts. Beware of pops, plosives, and sibilance. Use a pop filter at all times, and have boomy types sing a bit to the side of the mic.
Go Dynamic
You don't need an expensive condenser mic to get killer vocals. Inexpensive dynamic mics are tough enough to track screamers, and they can deliver excellent sounds. Superproducer Bruce Sweden used a $350 (street price) Shure SM7B to record Michael Jackson's vocals on Thriller, the best-selling album of all time, so suck on that. However, if a condenser is best for a singer's voice, choose a model with a –10dB or –20dB pad switch, and when the screamin' gets too loud and crazy, click it!
Compress for Success
Vocalists are generally a squirrely bunch with little or no self-control. Even though you've set the levels with obsessive-compulsive attention to detail, I guarantee you a vocalist will somehow find a way to cock up your well-laid plans by singing louder or softer than when you were setting things up. A compressor is a great way to mitigate such disasters. A mild ratio of 2:1 with a –10dB threshold is a great place to start. Then, adjust everything to taste until whatever comes out of the singer's mouth is put down nice and consistent.
EQ to the Rescue
The decent mic/killer preamp approach should take you a long way towards achieving an in-your-face attitude rivaling the girls on Charm School. However, you still may need a bit of help, and this is where EQ can save you. I typically boost a little between 125Hz and 250Hz to capture a bit of meatiness, and then boost between 2kHz and 4kHz to dial in presence and articulation. I also roll off a good deal of the bottom end so the compressor doesn't bring up any low-end rumble.
Faux Doubling
The all-time Hail Mary play for adding thickness and power to vocals is having the vocalist double a line by singing along with the original take. But let's get real here. Your chance of getting a single great take that hasn't been comped from 30 other takes is pretty nil in these days of lowered expectations. So here's a quick and dirty way to achieve the same thing without giving your vocalist a nervous breakdown.
• Make a copy of the vocal track you want to thicken.
• Use a pitch-shift plug-in on the newly created vocal copy and try these settings:
• Pitch Shift = –20 to –30 cents
• Dry Mix = 0
• Wet Mix = 100 (because you want only the pitch-shifted sound)
• Now, carefully fade up the doubled and pitch-shifted vocal track until it adds density and harmonic interest to the original lead vocal track.
• Pan both tracks to the center, and you should have a vocal track that sounds thicker than snot and more aggressive than a pissed-off rhino.

The holidays are the most fattening time of year for most Americans. We stock our kitchens with butter and oils, to prepare giant family feasts and holiday treats. We now know that it's okay — even advised — to embrace a certain amount of fat in our diets. But the information on what constitutes "good" fat and "bad" fat is rapidly changing.
Jonny Bowden, P.h.D., C.N.S., a.k.a., "The Nutrition Myth Buster," offered to help us understand which fats we should be eating. Dr. Bowden is a nationally known expert on weight loss, nutrition, and health. He's a board-certified nutritionist with a master's degree in psychology and the best-selling author of 15 books on health, healing, food, and longevity, including his latest (co-written with Steven Masley, M.D., L.L.C.), Smart Fat: Eat More Fat, Lose More Weight, Get Healthy Now__
Lisa Nelson, RD: Butter or margarine? Which is the best choice?** Dr. Bowden:** Without question, butter. Margarine is one of the dumbest nutritional experiments in history; it was based on the now-obsolete fear of healthy, saturated fats. Butter from grass-fed cows is a perfectly healthy fat; it also contains cancer-fighting fats such as CLA.
Lisa Nelson: Olive oil is good for everything, right?** Dr. Bowden:** Absolutely not. There are different grades, from plain old "olive oil" to "extra virgin olive oil." They varyenormously in their ability to stand up to heat. The very expensive extra virgin olive oil, which contains the most polyphenols, should never be used at high heat.
With olive oil, as you move up the scale in quality — olive oil, virgin olive oil, extra virgin olive oil — you move DOWN the scale in its ability to stand up to heat. So, plain old olive oil is fine for higher heat application, virgin for medium heat and extra virgin ideally shouldn't be heated.
At the very most you could drizzle it [virgin, extra virgin olive oil] on what you're cooking at the last minute but ideally, it's for drizzling and salads. You pay a lot extra for the careful low-heat processing to preserve the delicate health-giving olive polyphenols, so it makes no sense to heat the oil and destroy them.
Lisa Nelson: Should we be using the cheap vegetable oil we all have in our pantries?** Dr. Bowden:** No. It's highly pro-inflammatory and processed within an inch of its life, so that it basically contains nothing of any value. Some vegetable and seed oils — especially the cold pressed organic kinds such as cold-pressed sesame oil — are fine once in a while. But the exclusive reliance on cheap processed oils such as corn oil, soybean oil, or safflower oil contributes mightily to inflammation, which is a promoter of every single degenerative disease.
Lisa Nelson: What about more exotic oils like coconut, palm, and macadamia?** Dr. Bowden:** I love every one of these. Macadamia nut oil is similar to olive oil in that it's high in monounsaturated fat, but has a higher smoke point. Ditto with avocado oil. Coconut oil has many anti-microbial fats and is great for energy. And Malaysian palm oil is one of my favorite oils of all: it's sustainable, non-GMO (unlike soy and corn oils), has no trans-fats, is high in carotenoids and tocotrienols, and stands up to moderate heat."
Lisa Nelson: Is Crisco ok?** Dr. Bowden:** About as OK as a diet of corn dogs and Pepsi. It's the worst stuff imaginable. It's much better to use healthy saturated fats: real, organic lard, Malaysian palm oil, coconut oil. They don't form any really negative compounds that are bad for our bodies.
Lisa Nelson: Is it worth spending extra money on expensive oils?** Dr. Bowden:** They're worth it! The better oils are less processed, made with less heat and chemicals, and much more likely to retain whatever health compounds were in them in the first place.
Lisa Nelson: If someone were to keep one or two oils stocked in their pantry all times, which two would you recommend and what would each be best used for?** Dr. Bowden**: I would use avocado oil for high heat, Malaysian palm oil for medium heat, and extra virgin olive oil for dressings and drizzling.
Dr. Bowden adds that nutrients found in Malaysian palm oil are well researched for their benefits on brain and liver health. Those studies can be found at www.palmoilhealth.org.

As our blog moves into the Blue City of Jodhpur, we thought we'd post up our Pic Of The Day: a little bad boy, his home-girl and his wheels, taken in one of the back-streets of this amazing city. Kids, eh? Same the world over. [Click to see the full image]
Securing Our Atlantic Crossing Passage
Tim has been on fine form, making a complete dick of himself on a number of occasions. He peaked on Thursday night aboard another boat, Sanuk, when he knocked over the rum punch, slipped down below getting to the heads (we could see him in the toilet via the hatch, preening and dancing whilst checking himself in the mirror), getting back up onto the pontoon and proceeding to pull off some press-ups in front of a large crowd of people celebrating someone's birthday.
Biking Around In Cascais
With a high tide and strong winds the cycle ride became a very wet fairground ride as huge waves battered the sea walls, splashing up to 20ft high and spraying anyone in its path. Like four hung-over pratts on bikes. The trick was all about timing, something that Tim didn't have, unfortunately for him and his clothes.

I really hate to discuss politics here because I feel as it might alienate some people from visiting and learning about maintaining their personal "State of Readiness". However, it seems that people make assumptions about my "political leanings" based on some kind of stereotype of people that believe in being prepared, maintaining readiness and/ or are survival minded. So today I have decided to lay my cards on the table so to speak and share my feelings and beliefs (Basically to rant a bit). If you are easily offended, politically correct or prone to fits of false outrage; walk away… You're not going to like this.
I'll start off with some of my general thoughts and beliefs, then I'll touch on some current events to add additional perspective:
First off, I love my country and am proud to be an American. That doesn't seem to be "in vogue" these days, but as strongly as some people hate America, I love it far more! As a young man, I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. No where in that oath was there mention of it's expiration; in my opinion it never does. As proud as I am to be an American, I don't have those feelings for our Government as it operates today or for the class of career politicians we are subjected to. My pride comes from the Constitution and the Constitutional Republic that our forefathers bestowed upon us. I believe that serving the people of this nation in public office should be viewed as doing one's duty, NOT a career choice or a ticket to money and privilege.
A few things that disgust me:
1. Our elected representatives not being subject to the laws that they put upon us.
2. Those same politicians drawing a lifetime salary on our dime! How is someone serving four years in Congress somehow worthy of retirement? I feel that a soldier, sailor, airmen or Marine puts far more on the line than these people do to serve our country, yet look at how differently they are treated. When is the last time you saw a Congressman or Senator go into harm's way to protect our way of life?
3. Congressmen voting themselves raises. WTF?
4. Politicians overtly lying to the people they represent. I seriously would enjoy stoning these pieces of shit to death… SLOWLY.
5. Pundits and media types (really anyone for that matter) that blindly stick to their party line and defend politicians that have been caught lying to us. It's not like you're supporting a sports team you fucking idiots! These peoples' lies and omissions affect real people, let's see some accountability!
6. Democrats/ Liberals. So smug and "holier than thou". They're the same as Republicans, they just whine more and pander to the middle class and the poor while making themselves richer. They think we are all idiots that NEED them to take care of us.
7. Republicans. They talk a great game, but at the end of the day, they don't do what they say they will and refuse to vote and act as their constituents say. They, like their counterparts across the aisle, are looking out for themselves and whatever special interest group that's lining their pockets.
8. Too much government. Both parties have a vested interest in increasing government. It gives them more power, money and influence.
9. Social programs. People need help from time to time and I believe it is in our country's best interest to have programs in place to give people in need a hand up, not a hand out. There are families out there that completely rely on the welfare system for their living. These folks that are "gaming the system" should be held accountable for the theft that they perpetrate on tax paying Americans.
10. The IRS. Talk about a system that is rigged in favor of the select few! The tax code is so convoluted and complicated that you can't get the same answer out of any two IRS bureaucrats for any question. I feel that this is the first Federal agency that needs to be abolished. Whether a "Flat Tax" or "Consumption Tax" would be better for our country, I'll leave to people smarter than I to decide. Either would be an improvement and not having to fund a bloated IRS would only be an improvement to our nation's budget. No loopholes, deductions, etc. everybody pays and that's it.
11. Political Correctness/ Fake Outrage. This irks me more than anything. I believe that this phenomena contributes hugely to our perceived impotence around the world. Why is speaking plainly and honestly seen as so offensive? One of the greatest freedoms in this country is "Free Speech". I'm not sure who I feel more disdain for; the people that want to dictate what others are "allowed" to say, or those that sit quietly by and allow it to happen. No where in our Constitution are you guaranteed the right to NOT be offended. Sometimes you're not going to like what others have to say or how they say it… Tough shit, deal with it. When did we become a nation of pussies that are constantly looking for something to be offended by? We spend more time and energy fighting about how something is said, rather than discussing the content or subject of WHAT is being said. Everything is semantics now. If someone says something that you disagree with and your "go to" argument is to be offended by the way they said it or to tell them that their point is not valid because they did not use "politically correct" terminology, I hate to be the one to break this to you… but you are a pussy. Plain and simple, you are weak and most likely completely useless to those around you. You're a burden to the rest of us and you contribute little or nothing to society. Sorry. You rely on those stronger than you to protect you, produce your food, keep your electricity flowing, etc. You may be more "intellectual" or "educated" than the average working man (which is why semantics are so important to you), but deep down inside, you know that without them, you don't survive.
Some examples of current events/ issues that drive me crazy and lead me to believe that there are bad times ahead. Not Zombie Apocalypse type stuff, but more political upheaval, civil unrest, terrorist acts and economic issues:
1. Refusal to Hold Islamic Extremists Accountable. Pussyfooting around this very real issue in the world is only going to cost more innocent people their lives. Period. You can not impose Judeo-Christian principles on them. "They WILL NOT love us" if "we love them", nor will they "leave us alone" if "we leave them alone". If you can't wrap your head around that, you have ZERO experience dealing with these kind of people or you are just plain stupid. If you can't stomach the fact that sometimes predators NEED to be eliminated in order for others to survive, you are so far out of the loop of reality that you can't, and shouldn't, be helped.
2. Racism. Racism is real. There are people out there that feel that people of other races are inferior to them. However, it is not near as prevalent as politicians or media types would have you believe. By preoccupying us with this bullshit, they keep us fighting with one another rather than focusing on their crimes and how they are fleecing the American people. Here's the deal, there are racists… but guess what? Holding those views is NOT illegal (discriminating against someone for their race, religion, etc. is). You're not going to change their minds. If they cross over into breaking laws because of their racism, you have protection and actions that can be taken against them. So just ignore them and let them live with their hate. Quit making race a part of every issue. Quit looking for that "subtle, under the surface" racism in every news event. The biggest racists are the ones that are yelling about it the loudest. Same rules apply to all, deal with it. No special considerations for anyone, that's how it should be. BTW, pointing out racial stereotypes that are amusingly accurate is actually funny. Lighten up and laugh at yourself (and others) once in a while!
3. Media/ Journalism. We no longer have journalists, those days are sadly over. No more is there someone out there seeking the truth for the people. Every news channel has their own idea of what political idealism you should be following and they only report things that support it. I've heard that there are unbiased news sites on the internet, but most turn out to be just as agenda driven as the mainstream media. To me, the media is complicit in crimes that our politicians commit against us, by sensationalizing otherwise meaningless events to distract us from what is actually happening. I would love to see factual reporting so that I could make up my own mind. I don't need someone to tell me how I should feel about an event. The worst of the worst are the political pundits! Childishly making faces, blatantly stating "facts" that have been proven to be untrue (they don't care, they believe you are stupid and the truth doesn't matter… You want to be outraged about something? be outraged about that), not answering questions or answering questions that they WANT asked rather than what WAS asked. I'd love to watch the swarmy pieces of shit choke on a bag of dicks, while dying in a house fire.
4. Police. This one hits very close to home for me. Full disclosure: I was raised by a cop and most of the adult males in my life while I was growing up were cops as well. I also have been arrested for a crime I didn't commit by cops that were lazy and refused to do even a cursory investigation that would have prevented the whole incident. All that being said, I think that a lot of law enforcement has gotten out of control. I think they are too militarized and need to return to the kind of police work that I remember from when I was younger. Police officers are CIVILIAN law enforcement. It irritates me to no end to here cops refer to CITIZENS as CIVILIANS. You too are a civilian, albeit with a dangerous and very important job, but a civilian just the same. Other than matters of personal safety or the safety of citizens, police officers should put a citizen's Constitutional rights before all else. Cops have a thankless job and they deal with the worst society has to offer on a daily basis. Understanding what they do and go through each day may help to enlighten many citizens as to why they react to certain behavior suspiciously or aggressively. While there are some bad cops out there, there are also many great ones (you'll rarely see them on the news). There are also many legitimate complaints against police officers acting inappropriately, but many more that are not. On the news today there is outrage (mostly fake) that a 14 year old Muslim boy that had his school project mistaken for a bomb was handcuffed. Oh my God! They handcuffed a 14 year old! Settle down folks. It is the policy of most police departments to handcuff any suspect that is being held. It is there as a safety precaution, not to humiliate anyone. Believe it or not, many violent acts are perpetrated by juveniles. Handcuffing a suspect not only limits his ability to commit a violent act, it also lowers the possibility that any of their actions can be interpreted as intent on causing anyone else harm, thus keeping the suspect safe from the officers acting in self defense. My only suggestions to resolve the current issues between citizens and police are the following: BOTH sides need to consider each other's perspective and show a little more respect to one another. I also think that there should be a minimum age for police officers (I know, it's discriminatory). If you were not eligible for the position of police officer until you reached the age of 30 (for example), you would have been required to have experienced life and gained some useful perspective during that time. I feel that an officer that has had some life experience before becoming a police officer, will possess empathy and will be much more accurate in identifying an asshole from someone that is going through a rough time. I've known a lot of young officers that immediately jump to the conclusion that someone is an "asshole" because they are poor or just down on their luck at the moment. Again, Perspective (on BOTH sides) is important and the bridge to repairing the relationship between police and citizens.
5. Presidential Campaigns. I don't give two squirts of piss what the candidates think of one another or if they think the others are attractive or not. I want to hear WHAT they intend to do to restore this country to it's place as a safe, free and prosperous nation. I don't care how often, to whom or where they worship. I don't care about their personal beefs with one another. I want substance. How are they going to protect us and our interests from Islamic Extremists? How are they going to help create an environment for our economy to grow? How are they going to fund their social programs? What are they going to do about the tax code? How are they going to treat our military personnel? How are they going to take care of our nations veterans? These are the things I want to hear from them.
Our politicians and government are a complete mess and I think that the people need to demand that they be held accountable. We need to get past all this politically correct bullshit and deal with real issues. We need to take the responsibility of being citizens of this country and cut through the BS and elect politicians that have a plan and are capable of moving us forward.
Nearly everyday someone will bring up my military service, and more often than not, they will "thank me for my service". It is nice that people appreciate veterans and I don't want this to come off wrong, but I am not always comfortable when this happens. Some of these folks are so sincere it literally brings tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat (one elderly woman at a restaurant in New Mexico approached me and asked if I was a Marine. When I told her I was, she handed me a small card, looked me in the eye and said, "God bless you" and walked away. I grabbed my food and sat in my truck and read the card she had given me, thanking me for volunteering to protect her and her family and making the sacrifices that were needed to do so. For the first time in years, I sat there and wept. She, and people like her, were exactly who I had in mind when I made my decision to serve). Other folks say it and it sounds obligatory or insincere. Am I supposed to say, "You're welcome"? I guess that's the best response… "It was my pleasure" might be taken as I am some kind of war monger, nut-job. I am more comfortable with "Welcome back" or "Welcome home" to which I can reply with a "Thank you". Others may feel different about these, I just thought I'd share my thoughts. More to the point of this post, if you truly want to show appreciation for our veterans, then vote for politicians that will take care of them and our military folks. Vote for a Commander in Chief that will keep our people safe and care for those that sacrifice so that you can live your life as you see fit. Don't vote for the "Rock Star" candidate, the "Best Looking", "Best personality", "Same Race/ Religion/ Sex as me", "The First ____" or the "It's His/ Her Turn" candidate. Vote for the one that you feel is most sincere about protecting all of us and helping us to prosper and provide an even better country for our children.
You may wonder what all this has to do with "Readiness"? If we all do our part, we eliminate some events that we need to be ready for, such as war, civil unrest, martial law or economic collapse. We still need to maintain our State of Readiness to face natural disasters, crime, etc… But as Forrest Gump says, "One less thing…"
I'll leave you with this…

I remember when Arianna graduated Pre-K her teacher asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up and she said – A Princess!
LOL! Not exactly what you dream of your kids growing up to be, but who can blame a girl (I still secretly hope I can be one too.)
While she will always be our little princess, we've also put a big emphasis on education in our home because we know how important it is to her future and to her success in not only school, but in life in general. We want her to have a love of learning and we know it all starts at home, so here are 3 examples of what we do to make a home for learning.
1. Make a life-long reader.
2. Make learning fun.
Let's face it, kids don't like to do anything that doesn't guarantee them a good time, so always try to make learning experiences fun. For example, I recently discovered Arianna's love of bingo- so each week we set up a time to play bingo with her. Not only is it a great way to practice her numbers, but we've also incorporated her sight words into it and made sight word bingo! She loves it and it doesn't feel like we're doing homework.
Find out what games your kids love to play, then make a learning experience out of them.
3. Make technology your friend.
We live in a technological world. Instead of trying to shield your kids from it – embrace it. My six year old knows how to use my desktop, laptop, and smartphone! We joke that she's a level 10 hacker and can get into programs we didn't even know exist! But now we've embraced it and have various activities and apps that she can do at home or when we're out that not only entertain her, but also sharpen her mind as well.
(If you want to know some good iPhone apps you can download for your kids, Babble.com has some great list of recommendations.)
These are just a few of the things that we do to make a home for learning. What do you like to do with your kids? Do you have any tips or tricks you care to share?

For our Friday evening and overnight, under mostly clear, starlit skies, overnight lows will slip near 50 around Boston, 40s in the suburbs and even a few 30s into far northern New England, where a frost advisory has been issued for early Saturday morning in northeastern Vermont, northern New Hampshire and interior Maine.
After a cool, possibly record-cold, start to our Saturday, temperatures will rebound back to near 70 by the afternoon under mostly sunny skies, so the first half of the extended holiday weekend be pleasant. Saturday night is when clouds start to build in advance of the remnants of Harvey.
U.S. & World
The big dome of high pressure over New England that brought nice, fall-like weather Friday and Saturday is short-lived as it slides out to sea late Saturday evening, and as clouds slide in ahead of the rain associated with Harvey. The moisture associated with remnants of Harvey work their way in by early Sunday morning, starting south and spreading northeastward, with a few heavy downpours for the Cape and the Islands possible.
A few more embedded downpours are possible through midday, spreading from southwest to northeast into parts of New Hampshire. Remnants of Harvey should clear the area by late Sunday evening, giving way to a nice Labor Day Monday.
High temperatures this weekend range from upper 60s to low 70s both Saturday and Sunday with more cloud cover Sunday along with those scattered showers. Monday brings highs back to near 80 under partly sunny skies.
As everyone heads back to work or school on Tuesday after the long holiday weekend, highs Tuesday will remain in the low 80s with humidity sliding back in, then we see the chance for showers midweek, lowering humidity and the high temperatures back into the lower 70s by Wednesday. We are still watching the tropics, as Hurricane Irma is expected to strengthen to a Cat. 4 as it closes in on the Leeward Islands by Wednesday. We are continuing to track Irma as some weather models hint to Irma sliding up the east coast.
As always, stay tuned for the latest updates on your local forecast and on the tropics as we are halfway through the hurricane season.

NaNoWriMo is a week behind us now so I'm taking a last look back. Way back. Me and NaNo, we have something of a history, which NaNo often reminded me about this year. NaNo's focus on numbers tells me I've participated and won four times and produced 410,682 words. Also, this year (at least this was the first I'd noticed it) they added Wordiest Novel (136,235) and Wordiest Day (7,638).
I'm proud of those numbers, but they're facts and don't tell the individual stories of sacrifice, effort, and learning. Notice I didn't say successes and failures. There's no failure in great effort.
That isn't to say there weren't painful lessons along the way…
The beginning. I'd been wrestling with what I viewed as deficient writing and hadn't written in months. I was in a bad funk, a low point. I literally decided to try NaNo thirty minutes before midnight on Halloween. I had—nothing. No outline, no characters … just the barest glimmer of an idea. I decided to not take it too seriously and have fun. Believe me, I needed to have fun. I tried a different genre (mystery) and struggled to outline as I went. The novel was kinda, sorta okay. And, yes, it was fun. (61,824 words)
I was a veteran. I had outlines and character sketches. I was going to have the NaNo of all NaNos. I did. But not for the reasons I was expecting. I over-prepared AND ended up with references that weren't user friendly. The novel? Some great scenes, but mostly dull. My long awaited return to Ontyre fantasy amounted to good practice. On the other hand, I completed the draft by the NaNo midpoint and went on a short story writing binge. It was as if all the short stories buried in my head all these years exploded all at once (I'd written two prior). I learned my novel process wasn't working and how to employ proper story structure. Most important, I became a short story writer. (123,027 words)
Okay, I told myself, this was to be the year it all went right. I was running on a high after huge success with process and story during Camp NaNo the April before. I was drafting the sequel. It was my third year so I had plenty of experience. What could go wrong? Poor background prep and health. Admittedly, it started great. The first nine days were amazing and then I kept bumping up against events that occurred before the first novel. I dodged, weaved, and it didn't work. I considered switching to writing more backstory—and came down sick … lung infection sick. I "won" on the twelfth and limped to the end adding minimal words so I could earn the silly "daily update" badge. I literally was slumped over my desk typing. A mess. The novel was incomplete and I didn't recover physically until February. (89,596 words)
Hands down, my best NaNo and the one I almost didn't do. I'd completed my third viable novel the previous April so why write another? In the end, I decided to write up the missing backstory needed to repair the 2016 mess. Over the course of my 2-week prep work it spiraled into a legitimate prequel novel. Words flew to the page. I stayed healthy. My narrative outline was exactly what I needed, but there was room for inspiration. Again, I finished early (like 2015) and so jumped into short stories (6 in 6 days, each 4.5-5.0K long). Finally, the NaNo I'd been waiting for. (136,235 words)
A takeaway? It took four years and considerable effort just to find the process that worked for me. That's not counting honing my writing skills and finding the right story.
Right. Key word.
The right novel. The right prep. The right life circumstances. The right skill level. The right amount of experience. Often the big lesson was knowing via experience how to weather the issues that cropped up. My time management was far better in '17 than '14. I also took better care of my health and knew what effort was overkill and what was vital.
Still, if I had to point to a single biggest takeaway it'd be this: There are countless methods for prepping and writing out there and my biggest lesson was learning what worked for me. That's taken four years and is still evolving.

Telling only part of a story can be worse than keeping completely mum, as Microsoft officials seem to be discovering with Windows 8.
Last week during the first public preview of the Windows 8 user interface, Microsoft officials said that new Windows 8 apps will be created in HTML5 and JavaScript. By deciding not to mention anything about .Net and Silverlight - telling developers they'd have to wait until the September Build conference to hear more - company officials ended up setting off new speculation that the company is poised to dump its current frameworks and programming interfaces.

The videos show how to set this up for analysis in EXCEL using a Pivottable to generate the crosstabulations and then a Chi-squared analysis to test for independence between admission rates and sex of the applicants. The result is a very strong rejection of the independence. Aggregate data suggests a strong bias in favor of male applicants. If it is assumed applicants are equally qualofied, this would constitute an illegal discrimination against female applicants. However, inclusion of a Department variable as a page variable in the pivottable allows filtering to give subgroup results. testing for sex discrimination in departmental subsets gives a different result. This outcome is a classical example of Simpson's Paradox, wherein aggregate data gives a relationship reverse to that in the subsets. This is caused by lurking variables that are not controlled for in the aggregation.
Since, as we examine relationships statistically, we usually don't measure
everything, the disturbing question that comes out of this is "how can
you be sure that a relationship seen in any crosstabulation or correlation
is meaningful and not just the result of some unmeasured other variable
or interaction that has not been taken into account?" The answer is, "we
can't" thusstatistical significance is not "proof" of anything.
Even very high confidence in a conclusion is not proof. Our understandings of situations may change as a result of digging further into the data. Sometimes, aggregations of data may be inappropriate because there are other variables lurking in the subsets that could change the interpretation substantially.
Despite its limitations, Microsoft EXCEL is available on most people's desktops and provides rapid analysis capabilities in an understandable interface.
Excel's pivottable tool is a very convenient tool for crosstabulation and examining aggregates versus subsets. The page variable allows drilling further down into the data in a very intutuitive way, using filters.

|This is my finish for ALYoF for July. I am so super in love with these! I finished them in between rain storms yesterday and as I was taking pictures it started to rain and the wind was crazy. I grabbed a picture one at a time and made a collage later. It was pretty fun. These are done in Miss Kate by Bonnie and Camille for Moda.
|Here are all sixteen together. The Swoon pattern calls for nine blocks in a three by three grid. However, that quilt only comes out to 80" square. For a tall girl like me (six feet) with a super tall husband (6'6") that just wasn't going to cut it. I added the extra squares to bring it up to queen size. This of course means I can't quilt it at home and will have to send it off to someone else to make it fabulous.
|Now that those are finished for a bit I am focusing all my energy on the next swap in line. I'm in a swap for Thimble Blossom patterns on Instagram. My partner posted the Fireworks quilt three separate times in mosaics so I took the hint. She said the swoon was her favorite but it didn't show up. Maybe it's one of those actions speak louder than words things? I hope so. As it turns out I didn't need to cut the big floral squares but I'm sure I can find a use for them. This is already starting to take shape and I hope to finish it quickly as the deadline for this is Aug. 10th.
WiP Wednesday.

We're back!
After almost two wonderful, but hectic weeks, I'm back to posting. I really meant to post at least a couple short posts, but was never near the computer long enough to do so. I just uploaded 1000+ photos and added them to the couple of hundred I hadn't been through yet, so we have a lot to catch up on.
Last week we hosted our good friends Robbin and Mark and their kids Tyler and Lila. We had another party so that everyone had a chance to visit with them (and us). At the end of the week, we all headed to Cobbossee to spend some time with my brother Jon and family, as well as my dad. We were sorry to see Robbin and Mark leave Friday, but we hung around camp through Sunday catching up with Jon, Amy and Taylor. Amelia had so much fun spending time with other kids…it was a blast watching them play together. We headed home Sunday and then spent Monday at the Blue Hill Fair, where we had another great day. This is the fourth time Amelia has been to the fair and this time she wanted to go on all the rides. Luckily she just met the 36″ minimum height for most of the kiddie rides, so it was a happy day.
I'm just getting through all the photos, and will be posting soon. I believe we left off with Amelia's birthday, so I'll start by posting those photos.
I hope you have enjoyed your last couple weeks of summer as much as we have. Thank you again for your patience and stay tuned for regular posts again.

Bird migration & Lake Hula: Cranes at the Hula
"… report 35,300 cranes at the park last Wednesday. They spend the night on the lake and in the early morning fly off to forage for food. It is an incredible sight to see thousands of cranes take to the sky."
Hannukkah & the Temple Mount: Likud MK Regev: Police Must Allow Jews to Visit Temple Mount on Hanukka
"Jewish groups and activists who regularly visit the Temple Mount frequently complain that the police do not treat them appropriately and hamper their wishes to go up to the site, especially on Jewish festivals."
Mount Precipice (aka: Mount Kedumim) & Nazareth: * Proposal for Huge Jesus Statue in Nazareth; * Mount Precipice
* "Bishara Shlayan, a Christian Arab from Nazareth, is hoping to build a huge statue of Jesus on Mount Precipice, near his home city. Shlayan … has already begun fund-raising for the project and … is getting positive feedback from the Israeli Arab Christian community as well as some Jews. He sees the statue as being similar to but larger than the huge Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil."
* "The hill that we call Mount Precipice is not the hill on which the ancient city was built."
Patara: Patara (southern Turkey) and the US House of Representatives!
"… the 'Lycian Confederation' is mentioned four times in the Federalist Papers that were produced between 1787–1788 (#9, 16, 45). Over 2,000 years ago it met in Patara—the same place where Paul and Luke changed ships on their way to Jerusalem (Acts 21:1-3). … The Lycian Confederation is the first known democratic union in history!"

DURHAM, N.H. - The Plymouth State University women's swimmers and divers turned in one of their strongest team performances in years over the weekend, placing ninth out of 22 teams at the New England Intercollegiate Swimming and Diving Association's annual championships, held at Swazey Pool at the University of New Hampshire.
Bentley College cruised to its sixth consecutive team championship, scoring 881 points in the three-day meet. Keene State College finished runner-up with 791.5 points, with Bryant University (513), Westfield State (469.5) and Bridgewater State (451) finishing among the top five. Roger Williams (377.5), Gordon College (347), University of New England (345), PSU (312) and Saint Michael's (308.5) rounded out the top 10.
"It was a satisfying weekend," said PSU veteran head coach Al Switzer. "We had a lot of gutty performances, and a lot of improvement as we went through the meet. We had people finding out they could do things they didn't think they could do. It takes a lot of training to survive a weekend at the New Englands, and our new people learned a lot about what is expected at a three-day championship meet."
Senior diver Danielle DeStefano (Centerville, Mass./Barnstable) was the top individual performer for the Panthers. After going undefeated on both boards in dual meets during the regular season, DeStefano (right) brought home second place in New England in the one-meter diving, scoring 331.65 points. She was edged for the title by Bridgewater State's Jen Jackson, who scored 333.95 points. DeStefano then capped her superb season by winning the championship on the three-meter board, scoring a school-record 381.30 points.
Freshmen Tracey Posnick (Sharon, Mass.) and Caitlin Little (Scituate, Mass.) had outstanding swimming meets for the Panthers. Posnick (far left) placed in the top six in three of the meet's most grueling events, setting two school records in the process. She took fourth place in the 1,650-yard freestyle (in a school record time of 18:59.71), fifth in the 400-yard individual medley (career-best 5:01.71), and sixth in the 1000-yard free (school record 11:22.76). Little (left) touched the wall in fifth place in the fastest race in the meet, the 50-yard freestyle (career-best 25.79 seconds), and placed 12th in the 100-yard free (58.44).
Senior captain Cait Anton (Woolwich, Maine/Brunswick) completed her outstanding career with several outstanding swims. The school record holder in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke, Anton (right) placed ninth in the 200 back (2:20.33) and 12th in the 200-yard individual medley (2:26.65). Freshman Chaz Sweeney (Methuen, Mass.) (far right) also turned in a solid performance with a seventh place finish in the 50-yard backstroke (career-fastest 30.36 seconds).
PSU was in the middle of the pack in all five relay races, with the top performance a seventh-place finish in the 200-yard free relay by the team of junior Christina DiGiacomo (Meriden, Conn./Platt), Little, sophomore Trista Garrity (Saco, Maine/Thornton Academy), and freshman Erika Young (Lynnfield, Mass.)
The Panthers completed the regular season with a 3-6 dual meet record. The ninth place this year was a solid improvement over last year's 15th place finish.
