text: REVOLUTIONS not Resolutions Unscripted Blog SuperUser Account Mar 26 2015 REVOLUTIONS not Resolutions If you want to create real change you need to start a REVOLUTION, not simply make a Resolution. At this time of year, you hear a lot about making Resolutions, and the stats on the likelihood that many of us won't achieve our goals. There are many reasons for this, here are three common ones for organizations. Three reasons resolutions don't work: 1. They are usually set as an abstract future goal without any direction on how to achieve them. When there is ambiguity or confusion, nothing gets done 2. They are usually about improving or enhancing something you are already doing, so without any direction or any specific challenge people may simply increase their current efforts and hope for a different outcome. This demonstrates Einstein's famous quote: insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result 3. They are usually set by one person, and if the group does not agree, it is unlikely that the behavior will change Instead we need to start a REVOLUTION. We need to challenge our thinking in big ways, if we want different results. The best way to do this is to ask better questions. Ask catalytic questions that challenge our thinking and inspire creativity and innovative solutions. Instead of a resolution to increase sales by 20% (this will likely get people to do more of the same, and they may not believe the goal is possible, so they may not fully engage to make it happen); Start a REVOLUTION by asking, "How might we increase our sales (or our productivity, value, employee engagement, etc.)?" By stating this "REVOLUTION" in the form of a challenging question, it will engage your employees to try to solve it, and they will likely come up with ideas you hadn't even considered, which could increase your sales beyond the bar you set. More questions to start a REVOLUTION: Instead of the resolution to keep our customers happy, ask: "In the face of new competition and rapid change, how might we remain relevant to our best customers?" Instead of a resolution to offer more value to our customers, ask: "How might we deliver even more value to our customers?" Engage your entire team to identify all the ways in which you might offer more value. Encourage ideas that focus on small details as well as big overall strategic items. You can start a REVOLUTION in your personal life too. Instead of making a resolution to lose weight, ask: "how might I incorporate healthy habits into my everyday routine?" If you want real change, if you want to see big results– different results, then you are going to have to do things differently. Start a REVOLUTION not a Resolution.

Gingerbread House-2012
The annual day after Christmas gingerbread house construction.
It wasn't going too well for me....
No matter how much icing we used we couldn't get the darn thing to stick together.
So I called the emergency reserves....Becky.....a professional!
That's more like it!
The good thing about making our gingerbread house the day after Christmas is that 2 days after Christmas the kids get to eat it!

Christmas Eve--2012
We attended the Christmas Eve vigil at church tonight...this was the first year that I didn't have anyone singing at other masses, so we were all able to attend Mass together!
We arrived home from church, the girls and I got busy cooking....it was time for the annual Collins' family secret santa party.
Kimberly in her Christmas dress.
Daniel, head over heels with joy!
Gracie, with her requested "bagel bite"
Laura is ready to party!
Daddy is happy as long as his plate stays full.
Becky preparing the names that will be drawn for the "opening gifts order". (Very inportant to family harmony)
Another bagel bite lover---Luke
Becky received this very cute ornament from a girl at work today. ( I can see this as a gift we will make in years to come)
Pretty Amy
A double fisted drinker
We all gathered around a roaring fire
Lady seemed a little puzzled by all the excitement.
There was plenty of "hay" to make Baby Jesus a nice soft bed this Christmas Eve. We made the manger at the beginning of Advent, and when a good deed was completed a piece of yarn was added to the manger.
Becky's delicious pepperoni and sausage bread
Laura leading Christmas carols
Becky wants to be in the front for the family photo!
I LOVE the photo bomber
That's pretty good, except we are missing Matthew and Patrick has bunny ears.
Is someone posing?
Notice Daniel's wrapping job.
Whac-A-Mole---everyone is having fun with this
Luke was quite a bit excited with his gift from Matt.
You don't have to share Christmas presents.
We ended the evening with saying the family rosary.
What better way to thank Mary for saying "yes"!

Trimming the Tree--2012
It's time to trim the tree!!
I am always surprised by the number of ornaments we have...I had to say "enough" when every branch was filled to capacity.
My little princess
Luke called this area his "personal decorating space"
We drew names out of hat and Becky had the honor of putting the star on top of the tree.
"Laura, this is family time!"
The 2012 tree trimming crew
My six girls
Three boys---it's pretty good to get 8 of 10 of the kids together at one time---too bad, some folks have to work.

Designing For Solar: What Every Architect Should Know
Posted on 18. Jan, 2010 by Rebecca Firestone.
While researching solar technologies, we at Green Compliance Plus heard from solar installers who all seem to think that architects are hard to work with. So, we spoke with Fernando Valenzuela of Alter Systems in Berkeley about how to design a solar-ready home. Note that only about 5-10% of Alter Systems' customers are owner/architect teams. Usually it's the homeowners approaching them directly because they want to "go solar".
So… why are architects hard to work with? "They have a groupthink… they like design, the look, but they don't understand systems. They ask questions like 'why can't we use this roof' without realizing that you can't split up an array. Their projects aren't always quick, either, and rebates that were designed for may be gone by the time the project gets through approval."

Solar Retrofit for Affordable Housing: Case Study
Posted on 22. Dec, 2009 by Rebecca Firestone.
One of our Title 24 clients, Okamoto Saijo Architecture, recently completed a $50M retrofit that included creating a 900-kW PV system that is currently one of the largest affordable-housing solar installations in the world. We interviewed one of the principal architects, Eric Saijo, about how the Crescent Park project went from his perspective. He was actually quite happy with the outcome, and after 4+ years of budgeting, negotiating with utilities, the project is completed.

Solar Technology: What's The State of the Art?
Posted on 06. Nov, 2009 by Rebecca Firestone.
Renewable energy companies must be doing well these days. Between green stimulus dollars, soaring energy costs, recession-weary homeowners, and increasing public demand for clean energy, it seems like homeowners would be queueing up for the next Net Zero Energy conversion. And those who can afford the initial outlay probably are. But what about the rest of us who don't have $35,000 just lying around?

Why Does Title 24 Ignore Alternative Energies?
Posted on 13. Aug, 2009 by Rebecca Firestone.
Nearly every week, we are asked why Title 24 does not give credits for electric water heating if that electricity comes from solar or other self-generated power. In fact, it seems that many of the renewable energy developments occurring now are not fully recognized in Title 24, not even in the 2008 code. We're in the position of telling people that their homes, which are designed to consume very little conventional power, may have trouble passing the Title 24 code if those homes rely solely on solar electric for all their home power, heating, cooling, and water heating needs.
So why does T24 continue to penalize electric resistance heat and water heating in solar homes? Why does T24 not give credits for self-generated power (geotherm, solar, wind, other)? And why can't our utilities buy back excess power from customers who generate more than they use? Wouldn't this help to reduce California's grid load, save California homeowners money, provide entrepeneurial opportunities, and reduce American dependence on foreign oil?

Blasphemy is a victimless crime.
A 16 year old was arrested, in the Gold Coast, on Monday for wearing an offensive T shirt. The T-shirt in question is a Cradle of Filth band T-shirt. The T-shirt depicts a semi-naked nun masturbating, with the words "Vestal Masturbation", on one side and the words JESUS IS A C**T on the other.
For those of a sensitive nature the picture of the T-shirt is at the end of this post.
The story has been in several news media, but Ben Dillaway reported at goldcoast.com.au that it was blasphemous. In his article there was also the following quote from a local minister:
The Reverend Matt Hunt of the Helensvale Baptist Church said it was sad people spoke about the Lord in such a way.
"It's fairly common language these days to express sadness, anger or hurt," he said. "It's a degrading word to use and Jesus is anything but that. It's like calling white black."
Mr Hunt said using the Lord's name in vain was a serious sin.
I tend to agree somewhat that the C word can be considered degrading and/or offensive by some. However, the rev will have to get over the fact that a very large number of us don't believe Jesus exists. Thus it's no more a 'sin' calling Jesus a bad word than it is calling the tooth fairy a bad word.
The goldcoast.com.au article has a comments page which understandably has had a large number of comments. Over 300 at time of writing, perhaps this might beat the Unleashed article which currently has over 1180 (see my post How to get 1000+ Comments).
The comments basically fall into one of three types:
The religious person who thinks it's blasphemous and evil and the guy should have been charged
The people (religious or not) who think that anything goes, freedom of speech and all that, and the guy should not have been charged.
The people (religious or not) who think that the C word and/or pictures of semi-naked women masturbating is/are offensive.
Then there are all the off topic arguments.
Personally the C word is one of the few swear words I try not to use in the public arena. I have been told by several women they find it the most offensive of all the swear words. However I do use it occasionally, but if someone says to me they don't like hearing that word, or any other swear word, I will do my best not to use it in front of them. Some call this the "Grandmother Test", would you use the word in front of your grandmother?
I have no problem with people 'insulting' Jesus as a) he isn't real and b) religion should not be above critique or criticism, just because it's religion.
However the C word could be considered offensive, as could a picture of a, mostly naked, woman masturbating (the fact she is depicted as a nun should be immaterial). Especially when displayed in a open public arena.
If the guy has been charged for offensive behaviour then it's up to the courts to decide if he's guilty (based on current acceptable standards). Any charge of blasphemy or insulting imaginary beings should be, quite rightly thrown out of court.
Do I find the T-shirt offensive? I think its funny but a bit too rude to be wearing in general public.
Do I think the police should have charged him? I think that unless the police had had complaints, and not from religious people being offended by the supposed blasphemy, they should not have charged him. Don't the police have more important things to do? The police should not be the sole arbiter of public decency, perhaps they should have just cautioned the guy in the first instance?
Here's the offending T-shirt,
What do you think?
Offensive? Blasphemous?
Should anyone be charged with offensive behaviour for wearing it?
Would you wear it?
Is Jesus a Cunt? (see I can say the word)
If you read through the comments watch out for the troll that goes by the name of Zac. Zac if you read this, please read FAQ 1 and FAQ 2 before even considering leaving a comment.
I had heard about this on the radio, but hat tip to Nut Watch for bringing the offensive T-shirt story to my attention again.

25 Comments to "Teenager arrested for 'blasphemous' T-shirt"
Lol – I saw this on Richard Dawkins net. What a waste of taxpayers money, there is implied freedom to criticise govt (per Lange v ABC) but we still cant criticise religion. I
Is it blasphemous? I don't really care, and in a secular liberal democracy that should definitely not be grounds for charging someone with an offence. Australia is not a theocracy, the last time I checked.
Is it offensive? Not to me, but perhaps it is to some. All the same, there is no such thing as a right not to be offended.
Would I wear it? No, I haven't been into heavy metal t-shirts since I was in high school.
Is Jesus a Cunt? It depends upon which Jesus you're talking about. I don't know if the word really applies to the Jesus of the Gospels, the Jesus worshipped by those in liberal and emerging churches, and so forth. It probably applies to the post-rapture Jesus. It certainly applies to Yahweh.
While I tend to think that anyone who wears a t-shirt like this is a bit of an ass in the first place, it's a stupid thing to arrest someone for.
[...] tip to oz atheist « Hello and Good Evening, Mr. We Trust Dieser Eintrag wurde von Benjamin B. verfasst, in [...]
Man, if this delays the release of the new CoF album in any way, I'm gonna be really mad.
does the notion of jesus have any power over you?
then why should the word 'cunt'?
it's just a bunch of letters.
this is a religious issue.. if the shirt had said 'frank is a cunt' would it have caused such a fuss? i cant believe my country who has spent the last 5 yrs at war fighting for 'freedom' would kick up such a stink about a fucken t-shirt.
on a lighter note.. perhaps the shirt refers to being 'born again through jesus' and is in actual fact pro-christian haha
Sure its blasphemous, but so what? It's just not an issue, or at least it shouldn't be.
Religion has no speciel privileges, and should be open to critisism, ridicule and satire, just as everything else. Especially considering that Jesus (and other religious figures and symbols) are imaginary. There is absolutely no reason, why you shoudn't be allowed to call Jesus a cunt. Hell, I think I will do it myself. JESUS IS A CUNT.
Who got hurt there?
And who seriously gives a fuck whether its offensive? People don't have a right not to be offended (like AV also pointed out). But apparently some people think that we should overrule our right to freedom of speech, whenever some suburbian god-boy gets a bit upset. Get bent Jesus-freeks!
I don't get it. The shirt should be prohibited for the 'cunt' and the masturbating nun.
What's wrong ? Jesus is a hispanic guy I know.
And what is wrong with a nun scratching her thigh ?
I think arresting someone for excersising their freedom of speech is always wrong. A baseball bat to the sinuses would be much more appropriate in this case.
Yes, the religious do have a long and proud history of responding to the expression of views they don't like with extreme violence. Fastercat's comment is in keeping with that antidemocratic tradition.
I have to agree with vitaminbook. It's not a shirt I would wear, or enjoy seeing someone else wear. But I my reaction would simply be that the person wearing the shirt is an ass.
As a woman, I hate the word "cunt" being used as a pejorative. If you want to use it descriptively, to describe my genitalia, fine. But don't sum me up as only one part of my body. It's degrading, and like referring to a guy as a dick. Not that I don't use both term in that matter, but I try not to do so (it takes a lot to get me angry enough to use them in that manner. During sex, anything goes between my partner and me)
I'm not sure if you're from the States, Dawn. In the US, "cunt" is mainly used as a pejorative against women (AFAIK), whereas in Australia and the UK, it's used to describe men only. It still has the same referent, the vagina, but the phrase "Jesus is a cunt" would be understood differently in Australia than in the US.
I've been thinking about this for some little while now. At first it seemed very offensive and blasphemous.
But, on reflection maybe it's a compliment for Jesus, albeit slightly unusual. That is, I find those bits (the "c" bits) very interesting and lots of fun so maybe saying Jesus is one is a compliment.
Alternately, it could be a very strongly worded statement saying that "c"s are very very good, and to have one is as good as having Jesus?
But mostly likely it's probably just there to annoy/offend people.
I have that shirt. Blasphemous? Yeah to some ppl but its freedom & speech & religion to me you don't like it turn your fucking head & bitch not going to stop me from telling everyone the truth. So fuck the police in Gold Coast for arresting a kid for being different than others & expressing it in his own way, what the fuck do you think freedom is for?
Jesus is a CUNT!
Ha Ha, why not tell us what you really think Jason

you forgot people that ask why don't you do that to muhammed
I just submitted this to Reddit. Maybe that will bring you a few more hits.
"I just submitted this to Reddit. Maybe that will bring you a few more hits."
Indeed, at least this one.
Someone will always have a reaction to words and images. A reaction that isn't proportionate to the actual harm done (with words and images, the actual harm done is generally zero).
One of my favorite videos is the CNN Crossfire interview with Frank Zappa. Frank pretty much says all of what anyone should ever have to say about this subject:
Yes it's blasphemous, yes it's offensive, and yes it's FREE SPEECH. What occurred here is a violation of first amendment rights.
If Jesus and the Church can't survive a little heartfelt (albeit foulmouthed) dissent they don't deserve to exist.
vjack ".. a few more hits" !!! I got another thousand!!
Wow, didn't realize Reddit was so popular? Perhaps I should use it a bit more often.
Thanks for the link Procrustes, I'll make sure I watch once I can (long story cut short – lost broadband at work, broke laptop at home)
Welcome to all the new readers.
No let people say whatever they want, they people do whatever they want. There should be no restraint, no order, no God, nothing. Yea, sweet sounds like a great world. This kid should be taught a lesson and his parents are a disgrace. Forget about the fact he is talking about a person people respect but he has CUNT in capital letters plastered across the front?
No let people say whatever they want, they people do whatever they want. There should be no restraint, no order, no God, nothing.
ryan is right, children. This is how Nazi Germany got started.

Here at Geek.com, just as you might suspect, we get to use a lot of different gadgets. Out of all those we handpick a few products every month to review. They get picked for any number of different reasons — maybe the device has a notable technology, we know a lot of people are clamoring for information about it, or maybe it's just something that interests one of our staff members.
And now, without further ado, Geek.com's most popular reviews of 2011…
- Motorola Droid Razr
- Cool Leaf buttonless keyboard
- Google TV 3.1
- iRobot Roomba 770 vacuuming robot
- An Android user's review of the HTC HD7 and WP7
- Motorola Droid Bionic
- MiFi 4510L for Verizon Wireless
- HTC Thunderbolt
- HTC Flyer
- iPhone 4S
Out of every review Geek.com did in 2011 those are the most popular ones, as chosen by our readers (and, of course, Google). But what does this list tell us?
First off, we can't deny the popularity of mobile devices. Five out of the top ten devices were mobile phones and then there was one tablet and one 4G mobile hotspot. Obviously this list won't be able to differentiate between people just caring a lot about mobile gear in 2011 or people just caring about mobile gear when they are at Geek.com, but it's pretty safe to assume that it's the former.
Out of those mobile devices we see one iOS one, one Windows Phone 7 device, and four Android devices. The MiFi technically runs a Linux-based firmware, but unless you are running (or more likely developing) apps on one of the newer models you'd never know. Interestingly enough, out of all the devices we reviewed this year, it turns out that four — the Droid Razr, Droid Bionic, 4510L, and the Thunderbolt — which shows us how much people are looking forward to the next generation of wireless technology and just how much pull Verizon Wireless has.
In addition to the dominance of mobile, we can see how a few brands are far-and-away the best at generating buzz. Motorola, HTC, Google, and Apple products come along with an undeniable appeal to technology fans. Of the lesser known brands in our list there is basically the Japanese brand Minebea, maker of the Cool Leaf keyboard. You could also count Novatel (MiFi 4510L) and iRobot, but the mobile hotspot really depends on Verizon's branding and iRobot is just about as big as it gets when it comes to their field (consumer robotics).
Well that's the top 10 Geek.com reviews, ranked by popularity. We didn't review every big product this year so it's understandable that some big ones didn't make the list but also sometimes products just get popular, like the Cool Leaf, and get a ton of reads despite not being the sales titan of, say, Super Mario Land 3D, which didn't make the list.
Pretty much what you expected? Or are you completely flummoxed by the reading habits of the other other denizens on the internet?

Facebook has been holding WhatsApp for the last couple of years from now. Henceforth, they uphold the authority to produce changes in it. The bottom line is that there are going to appear some changes in WhatsApp in the next upcoming days. We can't claim it as soon as now that the changes would attract the users interests, yet they're necessary to be done – said the CEO, Mark Zukerberg. In sometime, you'd be experiencing a wide change in the whole interface of the widely spread communication app. However, the changes are to be done gradually and not at once.
Linkage between Facebook Messenger & WhatsApp
A recent update that we have got is about how you'd be able to share your WhatsApp info on Facebook platforms. It's unclear about what kind of info you'd be enabled to share, yet this is understood that the contacts on your WhatsApp would be easily in linked with the FB Messenger. However, the interface hasn't be displayed explicitly yet, about how the features would be working. Also, a new end-to-end encryption security process will be set in its interface. This will produce the better set of figures for the security of your conversations.
The goal is to set WhatsApp for organization perspectives
The goal is to set WhatsApp on a higher level perspectives. The goal is to avoid the scams and the pop-ups appearing while you download it. Facebook is scoping for WhatsApp to turn out to be useful for both professional and casual users. Some add-ons are to be made that would enable WhatsApp to work for the high level purposes like an airline telling its customers about the cancellation of the flight. They're aiming to replace the 69p charge by making the users to get connected with the companies directly via app.
The perfect secured app
Jan Koum and Brian Acton – the two WhatsApp founders are popular for their mindset regarding anti-advertisements. They conclude about how they're setting WhatsApp to a level that's totally secured. They do not scope to earn through the pop-ups emerging during the download of the app and while the users are using it. Hence, you as a user would never experience pop-ups regarding various advertisements displaying at your front-screen now and also in the nearer future when operating WhatsApp. Furthermore, the founders continued their speech – saying that their aim is to standardized the app by making it the most flexible electronic communicating medium for the users where their data is secured. Also, that their team possesses no interest in even having a single picture of their users.
Additionally, it was said about how the developers after designing an app and sticking advertising elements in it synchronizes their users' data. The companies and designers that sell adds, a very significant portion of their engineering team spends a large amount of time in tuning data mining and performing the further steps that take a whole lot of hard work for just collecting their users' data and information. However, the developers of WhatsApp don't do that. They are more likely to spend their time in fixing the striking bugs, adding more innovative features to the app's interface and performing the similar activities.

During the course of a tenancy there may be necessary repairs to the leased premises. These repairs may be mandatory or voluntarily made by the landlord. A tenant will need to give written notification to the landlord of repairs that need to be made. This notice is to make the landlord aware of the problems and also serves as documentation of the problem should any legal issues arise from the repair situation, or the lease situation in general.
Very easy process to complete and download.

Pick of the Flicks
'The Disaster Artist' Draws in Strong Critic Reviews
Dave and James Franco are teaming up December 1, for the movie 'The Disaster Artist'. The movie is based on Tommy Wiseau and a book written by his co-star from the movie "The Room" during the filming of the movie.
Disaster Artist is a movie about the production and making of the 'The Room' which was a movie that received a horrible critic rating and is considered as one of the worst movies to have been made. As a result of the horrible rating it became a sort of gimmick movie that became a part of pop culture.
The script for the movie was picked up by Seth Rogan's production company and is being directed by James Franco. It is a comedy movie with the main characters being played as James Franco as Tommy Wiseau and Dave Franco as Greg Sestero. This is the first time that both Dave and James Franco are working together on a project.
When asked about why it took so long for the Franco brothers to work together on a project Dave Franco replied with 'I didn't want people to think I was riding his coattails,' in an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Unlike the movie it mocks, Disaster artist has received positive feedback as it received standing ovations at pre-screenings and a very reputable 94% currently on Rotten Tomatoes.
While many are looking forward to the big films such as 'Thor: Ragnarok' or 'Star Wars The Last Jedi', 'The Disaster Artist' is sure to be a movie that you don't want to miss.

Here is a copy of the book in a video
The story book is called "Have you filled a bucket today?" and it is written by Carol McCloud and illustrated by David Messing.

Still seeking that elusive first Union County Tournament championship, the Governor Livingston baseball team is making a strong case to earn the top seed for the second straight season when the 62nd event is put together next week.
It took nine innings against a scrappy Union team that is better than its record to win Monday, with the Highlanders scoring two runs in the top of the ninth for a 3-1 Union County Conference-Watchung Division extra-inning triumph over the Farmers at Gordon R. LeMatty Field in Union.
GL improved to 7-0 overall – the Highlanders began last year 5-0 and 16-1 – and 4-0 in the Watchung Division to lead that portion of the UCC.
The rest of this week's schedule, with rain in the forecast for Friday and Saturday, includes Dayton home Tuesday, Union Catholic home Thursday, at Parsippany Friday and Hanover Park home Saturday at 2 p.m.
Against Union, GL took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third on a 6-4 fielder's choice RBI. Union came back quickly to tie the game in the bottom of the third.
On an 0-2 count and with two outs, Jake Pittus hit an off-speed pitch just over the head of the GL shortstop to plate Kyle Boyd from second.
Both starting pitchers, who hurled seven complete to get the game to extra innings, pitched in and out of jams to keep the tight league contest at 1-1.
Senior right hander Dan Belfer was tough with a fastball and off speed pitch for GL, while Union senior lefty Joe Poland had a decent fastball, got GL batters to hit the ball on the ground and when they hit it in the air it was usually right at well-placed outfielders for outs, including a fine diving catch by Boyd in left to close the top of the seventh.
Union had first and second and nobody out and then the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the sixth, but was unable to break through. Belfer retired Union's final two batters in the inning on a strikeout swinging of a 2-2 off-speed pitch and then a pop up to short.
Union fell to an uncharacteristic 0-7, with two losses by two runs and two by two runs. GL opened with a 2-1 home division win over Union back on April 1, with senior lefty Ethan Frohman getting the win and senior righty Jonathan Brignoni taking the hard-luck loss after tossing a four-hitter that included 10 strikeouts and one walk.
Frohman, with wins over Union and Westfield, began the week at 2-0. In his first 13 innings he allowed just six hits and one earned run for an impressive 0.54 ERA. He had 24 strikeouts, three walks and a whip of 0.69.
Sophomore left hander Nick Cocchia, who threw 4 and 2/3 innings in Saturday's 15-6 Highlander Classic title game home win over New Providence, was 2-0. Belfer was 1-0 with a win over Scotch Plains and sophomore right hander Vin Doren was also 1-0.
Scotch Plains defeated Elizabeth 4-1 at home Monday to improve to 6-1 overall and 3-1 in the Watchung Division.
The Raiders have won five straight since falling at GL 9-2 on April 2 in division play.
Scotch Plains was 10-11 last year, while GL finished 21-6 and reached its fourth UCT final and third under present head coach Chris Roof.
While most coaches would trade almost anything for a 7-0 start, Roof realizes that victories and team records can be very fleeting.
"We're a very poor hitting team," Roof said. "We're only batting .264 as a team and our on-base is .390."
GL has scored four runs or less in three of its first seven games.
Off to excellent starts at the plate are senior third baseman Ian Lynch, Frohman and senior first baseman Mike Falk.
Lynch began the week batting .500 at 7-for-14, with seven RBI, a team-leading seven runs and an on-base percentage of .652.
Frohman was hitting .353, with a team-leading 11 RBI, five runs and an on-base of .450.
Falk was at .312, with a .476 on-base, a team-leading 10 runs and 10 RBI.
When I think of Dave Minsavage three things come to mind: Smith Field in Parsippany, Jethro Tull and the Gong Show.
I graduated Parsippany High School in 1981, two years after Dave. His younger brother Steve, who I graduated with, was one of my best friends in high school.
I was fortunate enough to be included in pickup baseball games at Smith Field that involved both brothers. I also played high school sports with both – soccer and basketball.
Dave, the highly-successful Hanover Park baseball coach the past 19 seasons who passed away last Thursday at the age of 53 after suffering from pancreatic cancer, was someone I could look up to during my high school years.
He was mature and very responsible and also a fine athlete. He also had a comedic side which showed him to have a great sense of humor.
I remember his love for rock and roll music, especially Jethro Tull, and also remember the times I spent at the Minsavage Lake Hiawatha house watching the Gong Show with him, his brother Steve and other friends.
Those were good times, among many more, that I will always remember fondly.
Having covered Morris County before Dave became the head coach at Hanover Park and then Union County since 1991, the only time I got to cover one of Dave's games was the 2006 Group 2 final at Toms River South.
That day he guided the Hornets to a state championship as junior righty Joe DiRocco tossed a shutout in downing Governor Livingston 6-0. Hanover Park won its first state title since 1997 and I'm sure the smile on Minsavage's face spread all the way from Toms River back to East Hanover.
My prayers go out to him, his family and the entire Minsavage family.
Dave, I don't need to write how much you will be missed by so many you touched.
God Bless.

It's always both disheartening and a bit amusing watching conservatives contort themselves to justify discrimination against GLBT Americans, especially when it comes to marriage equality. They couch their arguments in specious claims about judicial activism, but the truth is, their position rests on the bigoted idea that a group of people can be denied equal protection under the law simply because some people are uncomfortable with relationships that are different from their own.
The latest example? The media darlings and deep thinkers at Treasure State Politics.
When this is your argument, you're in trouble:
I understand it is vital for every citizen, no matter their personal choices, to be guaranteed the same rights under our laws. Marriage isn't a right, it's a tradition. When a court begins to compromise the meaning of marriage that Montanans have overwhelmingly agreed on, the reverence of marriage can be quickly destroyed.
The Supreme Court has disagreed with the idea that marriage is not a right, most specifically in the 1967 Loving v. Virginia decision, which outlawed anti-miscegenation laws. As the majority wrote:
The freedom to marry has long been recognized as one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men …
To deny this fundamental freedom on so unsupportable a basis as the racial classifications embodied in these statutes, classifications so directly subversive of the principle of equality at the heart of the Fourteenth Amendment, is surely to deprive all the State's citizens of liberty without due process of law.
Loving v. Virginia is an especially instructive example, as it illustrates the absurdity of relying on popular opinion to determine the right to marry. In the 1960s, the majority of Americans opposed interracial marriage:
A Gallup Poll indicated in 1965 that 42 percent of Northern whites supported bans on inter-racial marriage, as did 72 percent of southern whites.
The "logic" offered at Treasure State Politics must, therefore, endorse the position that the Supreme Court was wrong to strike down inter-racial marriage laws in the United States. Surely, these future voices and current campaign staffers for the Montana Republican Party are not suggesting the Supreme Court should have left such an abhorrent remnant of Jim Crow laws on the books, are they?
They have to be—and that shows just how wrong the argument is.
Of course, the deeper issue is the bind the Republican Party finds itself in when it comes to the issue of gay marriage: in the short term, they have to take a hard line against equality for all Americans, because it plays well with their base. Long term, it's not only a bigoted position, but one that's a political loser.
This Pew Research Center chart shows that Americans are headed in the right direction when it comes to marriage equality, but equal access to rights shouldn't depend on either public opinion or what conservatives believe marriage means.
Equality under the law means equality under all laws, no matter how contorted the argument used to justify discrimination.
As a final note, the bloggers at Treasure State Politics might enhance their credibility if they didn't write things like "the gay blog alienated the people it needed to convince." I don't know what the hell a "gay" blog is, but it sounds complicated.

Local natural areas are subject to many threats, both human and biological. One of the most damaging is the invasion by nonnative weeds and shrubs, which crowd and shade out native plants. Off-road vehicles, overuse, vandalism, poaching of rare plants, and dumping of yard waste also contribute to the decline of our natural areas. You can help identify these problems in the park district's sites and work together with other volunteers and park district staff to help restore and preserve these special places.
In addition to the historic and aesthetic goal of returning our natural areas to their unspoiled splendor, restoration will provide a number of additional benefits to the surrounding environment:
- Improved water quality
- Flood control
- Native plant and wildlife habitat
- Endangered species habitat enhancement & creation
- Increased public education opportunities
- Improved passive recreation opportunities

I went to the grocery this afternoon and woowww I was so schocked to find out how expensive fruits and vegetables are! Imagine, 3 pcs of eggplants is worth 38pesos; 2 pc of sayote is 34; 1k of camote is 80pesos; 1pc of bittermelon is almost 50pesos! So expensive they give me stress! Makes me want to puff a swisher sweet cigar lol. Why is everything sooo expensive?!
Haaay, just when I've finally decided to live a healthy lifestyle that's when these prices rise up. I ended up buying canned goods instead.

The Robin Hood Line is a railway line running from Nottingham to Worksop, Nottinghamshire. The stations between Shirebrook and Whitwell (inclusive) are in Derbyshire.
Passenger services are operated by East Midlands Railway. The line in its present form opened to passengers in stages between 1993 and 1998. Following the Beeching cuts of the 1960s, the line had been freight-only. The cuts had left Mansfield as one of the largest towns in Britain without a railway station.

The majority of the current Robin Hood Line re-uses the former Midland Railway (MR) route from Nottingham to Worksop. However, due to rationalisation leading to track removal in order to save the costs of maintaining the tunnel north of Annesley the through route was severed in the 1970s.[2]
Northwards from Nottingham, the freight-only line remained intact as far as Newstead, where it had served the now closed Newstead Colliery.[2]
Southwards from Worksop, the line followed the old MR route as far as Sutton-in-Ashfield. Between Sutton-in-Ashfield and Kirkby-in-Ashfield, the line was diverted in 1972 to take the former Great Northern Railway (GNR) route through the area.[3] This allowed British Rail to sell land right in the centre of Kirkby-in-Ashfield whilst keeping a freight route through the town. After crossing the town on the GNR route, the line re-joined the old MR route to Pye Bridge, near Ironville but the connection between Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Newstead was closed and the tunnel filled in.[2]
When plans for the Robin Hood Line were drawn up, it was vital in the interest of keeping costs down to make as much use of the existing infrastructure as possible so, rather than trying to buy back the land to rebuild the line through the centre of Kirkby-in-Ashfield, the existing GNR diversion was kept and a new stretch of railway built to re-create the missing link between Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Newstead.[2]
North of Newstead, at Annesley, both the Great Central Railway (GCR) and the Midland Railway had driven tunnels through the picturesque Robin Hood Hills, but since both lines closed, both tunnels had been filled in.[3] The GCR's tunnel had been at a lower level than the MR's and so was much longer. It therefore proved cheaper to re-excavate the MR's tunnel, which was found to be in excellent condition.[2]
The new service from Nottingham to Newstead opened in 1993 although Bulwell station opened only in 1994. It was extended to Mansfield Woodhouse in 1995, with Kirkby-in-Ashfield station opening in 1996. The through passenger route from Nottingham to Worksop opened in 1998.
Since then the section between Bulwell and Hucknall has been converted from double track to single track to allow space for the new Nottingham Express Transit tramway, which follows the route as far north as Hucknall and opened in March 2004.
Currently (July 2015), the Robin Hood Line operates a Monday to Saturday service between 05:30 and 22:30. During the day, trains run at half-hourly intervals between Nottingham and Mansfield Woodhouse, with one service an hour continuing to Worksop with a total journey time of 67 minutes.[4]
A Sunday service began on 7 December 2008, with ten trains running between Nottingham and Mansfield Woodhouse between 09:15 and 22:30. Four of those continued to Worksop.[5] The Sunday service was funded by Derbyshire County Council and Nottinghamshire County Council. An understanding was made with the Department for Transport that, if the patronage reached an agreed threshold after two years, it would consider taking over the service and incorporate it within the East Midlands Trains franchise. However, this service was not a commercial success north of Mansfield Woodhouse, and Nottinghamshire County Council decided to reduce its funding and prioritise running a reduced Sunday service from 22 May 2011. The service runs eight times each Sunday between Nottingham and Mansfield Woodhouse and return.[4]
Proposed extension[edit]
Just north of Shirebrook station is a junction with a freight branch line that was used for coal traffic to High Marnham power station via Warsop, Edwinstowe and Ollerton. Following closure of the power station the line is disused but has been kept open and fully maintained as a test track for driver training.[6] In mid-2009 Nottinghamshire County Council commissioned a feasibility study to consider a plan to extend the Robin Hood Line along this route by extending the current hourly service between Nottingham and Mansfield Woodhouse to Ollerton, calling at Shirebrook, Warsop and Edwinstowe (for Sherwood Forest Center Parcs holiday resort).[7]

26 April 2016 -
A fixture on UK high streets for 88 years, retailer British Home Stores (BHS) has filed for administration, leaving the future of its 164 shops and almost 11,000 jobs in the balance. It's the largest retail crash since the collapse of fellow national treasure Woolworths in 2008.
Could managers have prevented this dramatic fall from grace and saved the firm's fortunes?
Administrators Duff & Phelps' declaration that they had "no alternative but to put the group into administration" highlights the parlous financial position the high street chain was facing. Despite BHS generating some one million transactions a week, the retailer has debts totalling £1.3bn.
It's also battling a slump in retail sales, a hefty rent bill and, in the background, it has a huge pension deficit.
Only last month, BHS appeared to secure its short-term survival by persuading landlords to cut its rent by up to 75% at 87 shops through a company voluntary arrangement (CVA). However, shortly after the deal was announced, BHS management revealed it still needed to find £100m to continue trading and to pay staff wages.
Attempting to fill the black hole, the retailer sold its property assets, renegotiated contracts with suppliers and sought a £60m loan from private equity firm Gordon Brothers. But it failed to raise enough cash from the property sales – only £30m – and the deal with Gordon Brothers fell apart.
Moreover, the firm's owners, Retail Acquisitions, a consortium of financiers and lawyers, who purchased BHS from Arcadia Group boss Sir Phillip Green for £1 last year, were unsuccessful in raising £160m in fresh capital to reverse losses.
This news comes as reports allege that Retail Acquisitions, led by Dominic Chappell, was paid up to £30m for a number of management charges, legal fees, interest payments, salaries and wages in the year between the department store's sale and its collapse into administration.
Here's how Jim Armitage, the London Evening Standard's City editor, describes events: "Every turnaround suffers the odd bit of bad luck, but this battalion of misfortunes smells of incompetence.
"If you were feeling charitable, you could put Chappell's misjudgements down to the eternal optimism of the entrepreneur. But a business can't survive on hope alone."
Efforts to find a new owner have also been largely fruitless, with reported talks with Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley breaking down.
One major stumbling block for interested bidders is, reportedly, BHS's pensions deficit of £571m, which is far bigger than the scheme's assets. Although the high street chain's pension scheme is currently being assessed for its savers to be compensated by the government-supported rescue agency, the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) and trustees already concluding that their members' retirement incomes will have to be cut, the responsibility for a new buyer to ensure the payment obligations for roughly 20,000 pension holders are met is deterring potential backers.
According to the Financial Times, court documents filed by BHS this month estimate that £63m would be available to repay loans secured on its properties, if the group was liquidated. The report states Sir Philip is in line for at least £25m, in charges his Arcadia Group holds on BHS assets, leaving about £14m to pay other creditors, including employees and suppliers who are owed nearly £80m.
BHS's current plight is rooted in over a decade of under-achievement. It has lost money in each of the past seven years.
In its heyday in the 1960s, BHS was a popular general store for customers looking to buy a range of different goods in place, and has a largely older customer base.
Faced with intense competition from the growth and popularity of e-commerce, particularly Amazon and eBay, and more fashionable bricks-and-mortar chains such as Primark and Ikea, BHS's management has been accused of being too slow and inflexible in reinventing its brand to meet changing customer needs, attract younger customers and moving its business into a more profitable niche.
The strong clothing discounts provided by the likes of Primark, and the saturation of the homewares space by retailers such as Dunelm, Poundland and John Lewis have made it more difficult for BHS to stand out with new customers.
Honor Westnedge, the senior retail analyst at Verdict Research, has said: "BHS has lacked differentiation. It used to be the go-to place for affordable clothing and homeware but there are better, and cheaper, specialists now."
When Sir Phillip Green purchased BHS for £200m in 2000, BHS attracted some 13.4% of all clothing shoppers and held a respectable 2.3% share of the clothing market. Last year BHS pulled in just 8.2% of all clothing shoppers with a 1.4% share of the clothing market.
In the early 2000s, the Arcadia Group boss's energy and vision led to a short-term peak in performance from the retailer, but as the years passed, and his focus moved to other deals, such as a failed bid to takeover Marks and Spencer, the brand appeared to become complacent, failing to connect to the new generation of shoppers.
For example, one of BHS's biggest assets is its large and well-positioned stores. But a lack of vision and push to modernise their retail spaces quickly made the company's product offerings look increasingly dated and dreary, even compared to other middle of the market, traditional brands such as Debenhams and M&S.
Combined with a core customer base of Baby Boomers - while the millennial generation become more prominent consumers - this has meant that, despite being in high-footfall locations, BHS stores have increasingly failed to draw people in.
"This has not happened quickly. It has happened over many years. BHS has been losing money for five years and more," said Richard Hyman, a retail consultant. "I think it has become progressively irrelevant and it is a massive challenge to change that.
"I think the place to start is with understanding the customer better and editing the offers to become more relevant. It doesn't have a place on the high street as it is. It has to change. It will need to invest money in these changes. It is not rocket science. I wouldn't like to put a number on it, but it is going to be really tough, they have a mountain to climb."

Yeah, apparently YESTERDAY was delurker day. No bastard told ME though….
So all my fav US blogs are proudly displaying this badge:
Oh how I loves me some flashing cartoon guy.
And saying nice things to their peeps to get them to come out of lurkdom and say howdy.
Well you know I don't work like that.
You know I have a mean streak. Especially when we are on day 450 of 40C temps and my breasticles are melting. Even with ice cubes in my bra.
And the fucking nits are back.
And it is killing me to drink my stinking hot latte, but I do it anyway cause it is my crack.
And Boo is screaming at the dishwasher cause MPS forgot to put it on last night and I HAVE to put those freaking Christmas plates away. Even though I love them so…. and I don't do handwashing.
And from my position on top of the airconditioner with the laptop and said steaming hot cup-o-joe I can see Boo emptying the drawers in the kitchen, the hole he has ripped in the carpet (!!!) and ants trying to find a way in through the window. Oh and now he is coming at me with a staysharp knife saying 'Mummy open this!' I can't see anything but the cool steel blade.
Hmm, it looks cool. Maybe if I rest my face against it….
Oh yes my lovelies, I have lost it. Big time.
So come out of lurkdom. Say hello. Or get the fuck away from that knife. Or make sure someone takes photos. Or something.
See if we can make this blog explode.
And if you don't? I won't tell you where I am moving to.
Cause I am that much of a biatch.
Edited to add: Thanks to Veronica for the updated badge. Smootches.
January 6, 2008
I am a stupid bint.
And it is MPS's fault. Cause nothing is ever my fault. 'Bout time he learned that.
So after a large ARRRGGGHHHH and a slap around the head for MPS, I am here to
whine tell you what happened.
Yesterday it was hot. You know the drill, bad tempered Kelley, sweaty breasticles,
hogging standing in front of the airconditioner with my skirt over the vent, kinda day.
And precious little sleep this YEAR. (sounds so much more dramatic than the last few nights doesn't it) cause of the tiny terrorist and his stealth Ninja moves.
Moo and I were
slapping each other in frustration working on a little project and I was over playing at Aussie Bloggers. There was a thread about web safe colour tools or somesuch, click here to see it, and Moo and MPS were SQUEEing all over the shop at the thought. Especially the Firefox extension Colorzilla.
So being the wonderful person and kind mother that I am, (lets not mention the fact that I wanted it for what I was doing OK? Lets concentrate on my wonderfulness and selflessness as a wife and mother cause then I can blame my family for this sad little tale) I downloaded it for them.
But I needed to restart Firefox to install it.
Now my Firefox apparently has a little bug in it. That MPS keeps saying he will fix. When I quit and then restore session it opens every-freaking-window that I opened in the last whatever. There is no rhyme or reason to it. It can open things that were closed days ago. Or not. Who knows. Like a Firefox lucky dip. But it also opens every window 2-4 times. Lucky Dip again.
Now before anyone starts berating me. Yes, I know I shouldn't have 4 windows open with 8 tabs each. I know I should be more organised and not leave so much shit open. So shut up. It is not my fault. See the second sentence of this post.
So I restart Firefox and go on my merry way. Delete the duplicate tabs.
Delete the draft version of Bugs, Injuries and Doctors Appointments.
No idea why that fucker was open. It was the draft without the pretty pictures.
Before I hit delete I thought, hang on, might just delete the content cause I am totally computer stupid and don't know if I delete the draft if it would affect the completed version….
I continue my evening. Finally fall into bed around 2am.
This morning I log on. Moderate the newbie comments (thanks for commenting! I big pink puffy heart you all!!) and then think, hmmmm I wonder how many comments that last post has? I hardly ever look at the actual blog, except to swoon over that pretty pink button and the Blogger Choice award buttons ;), so I have a wander around.
What the FUCK?
Where is the post about the nits, swing collapsing on Boo (and by the way, poor little mite has a huge bruise across his shoulder blades. Dodged a bullet there my lovelies. If it had fallen on his neck, or his face, I honestly don't think he would still be here….) etc etc etc.?
I deleted it.
Stupid bint.
I mean MPS is a bastard. And my neighbours asshats. And that guy walking along the street out the front. And my 3rd grade teacher. And Osama Bin Laden.
And it is EVERYONE else's fault. And I hate them all.
Oh, but not you my lovelies. I ❤ all of you of course……
And of course I don't have a copy of it. And of course I have no idea what I wrote cause it was just a brain dump. And of course I am mightily peeved cause, well, it makes my blog look messy.
And I hate messy.
So the lesson? Whip MPS's arse till he fixes the fucking thing. Never EVER delete anything to do with my blog. And take some time to learn what I am freaking doing.
Anyone know of a WordPress for Dummies?
December 31, 2007
……..I reflect on the year passed.
A Whoa Nelly Fuck-me-dead kinda year.
The year started badly. Really really badly.
And got steadily worse.
But I don't want to dwell on it. I will just say that MPS is a lucky fucker that I didn't stab him in the eye with a fork while he slept. Cause that woulda taken some es-plaining. 'Sorry officer, I was eating steak in bed and I kinda slipped….oh, what's that? You read my blog and know that I have only ever cooked steak once in my life and did it in a fit of channeling June Cleaver? Well, I was cutting the steak up for my husband, who is bleeding from the eye socket over there….. who am I kidding? Slap those handcuffs on me baby, here use mine, they match my shoes…..'
But I did a lot of running the cold tap while he was in the shower….. bwaaaa haaaa haaaa
So I will think about the coming year. The kick-arse-fan-freaking-tastic Year Of Kelley.
No resolutions. My family resolve every year to break my resolutions, bastards, so here is some for them. Entitled:
1. Thou shalt not sit on the toilet with the door open, fan off, and use all the fucking paper without replacing the roll.
And no freaking using-up-to-the-last-square-and-then-ripping-some-off-the-new-roll- so-you-don't-have-to-replace-it shit. Or I will whip you with the toilet brush. Just after I have cleaned the toilet.
Oh, and while I'm on the subject. For all that is good on God's green earth FLUSH! There is nothing worse than someone else's piss splash back.
2. Thou shalt not complain that you have nothing to wear and then empty your floordrobe in the laundry, expecting The Almighty Mummy to wash it all. Including the shit that is still freaking folded. Be warned, you pull that crap and I will return it to your room. After I have farted on it.
3. Thou shalt do what I say. When I say. End of conversation. I can rain war and pestilence and no freaking phone credit or internet access on your arse.
4. Thou shalt not touch Almighty Mummy's computer. Unless given permission. And asking me while I am half asleep or before my first bucket-o-latte does not constitute permission. I am not held responsible for anything I say during these times. Or when I am holding new shoes. I am speaking in tongues, not saying yes to you.
5. Thou shalt open freaking EYES or move shit when looking for things. Standing in the middle of the room waiting for said item to jump out at you will not work. Unless it is the back of my hand. That'll work.
6. Thou shalt put away clothes properly. This does not mean the end of the bed or on the floor. Unless it is in your own room. Then I don't give a shit what you do as long as said clothes do not end up back in the laundry. See Commandment #2.
7. Thou shalt not ask for money within 6 hours of saying no to the Almighty Mummy. The Almighty Mummy has a looooooong freaking memory. Any reference to elephants will end in tears. Yours. When I take away your ipods and replace your Emo music with my favourite techno. (this will be hard to enforce as we actually like the same music)
8. Thou shalt do homework before playing on the computer. Oldest infidel, you are in VCE now. You have homework every night. Yes you do. I will ring your teachers. And invite them over. And they will come cause I can be very persuasive. Infidel-that-was-born-second (cause apparently 'middle child' fucks up psyches or somesuch. I prefer using my own methods) you don't get off easy. Your friends got more honours than you did last year. What the fuck? I don't care that you got six A's and the rest were B's. More study for you. *snort*
9. Thou shalt not walk in the room and start talking at me when I am blogging. This really really pisses the Almighty Mummy off. You will walk in, kneel on the floor with eyes averted until your presence is acknowledged. Wear knee pads. It could be a long wait.
10. Thou shalt love everything that I cook. And then praise the Almighty Mummy for her culinary prowess, even if it is soup. From a can. That you reheated yourself. I bought the bastard and you will bow to me.
11. Thou shalt not stand in front of a full fridge and/or pantry and bitch that there is nothing to eat. I am not a fucking mind reader and the store doesn't stock 'I don't know'. I asked. They don't. Have an apple.
Yeah, yeah, that was 11. But do you really think any of them will be followed?
I would be happy with just number one. OMG would I be happy with just number 1. Of the number 1's and 2's. Yeah that would be good.
Happy New Year my internet lovelies. Now go forth and resolve to resolve tonight. And then pop back here and let me know what you decided to
give up do to make 2008 better so I can hold you to it and tease you mercilessly when you break the resolution by 1pm on the first of January cheer you on.
Mwwwaaaa! Looking forward to spending 2008 with you.

Economics is concerned with human behaviour in the activities of production, consumption, and exchange of goods and services. The original root of the word economics is the same as that of ecology. Both come from the Greek word oikos meaning household.
Forest economics is an applied field of economics dealing with economic problems involved in buying, owning, selling, taxing and managing forest land, whether used for production of water, wildlife, wood or any other product. It is concerned with the impact of the economy on forests and significance of forests to the economy.
Forest economics can be very broadly divided into two categories: (1) Forest industry economics which deals with the economics of the manufacturing processes and products; and (2) Forest management economics which deals with the economics of growing forests and producing products and services from forest land (such as timber, wildlife, water, outdoor recreation, forage, carbon sequestration, maintaining biodiversity).
