Pleated Maxi
Hi y'all! I'm wearing this pleated maxi skirt that I picked up at Crossroads the other day. It was $24. I thought I would wear it with a very casual heather grey sweater along with some rugged boots. I added some flashy jewelry to give it a bit more feminine appeal. Very comfortable outfit.
I hope you like the look.
Pleated skirt: Maddy K
Sweater: Old Navy
Necklace: J Crew
Boots: Aldo
Scarf: Nordstrom

Scarier than Halloween
I hope everyone is having a spooktacular Halloween. This piece will scare you, read if you dare. It starts with artificial intelligence. We've made impressive toys like drones, little espionage creations from MIT to get Castro, a tiny robot that looks like a mosquito.
But man's technology can only put in data to a robot and have it operate on formulas; they don't seem to do so hot on original thought. They can't seem to make a robot that can understand metaphors and complex problems and come to a precise judgment. A robot can process input, but it still operates by the limitations in man. So far they're still impressed when a robot can be 'taught' to recognize the movement of a human flipping pancakes onto a frying pan, and repeat it with any success – but even these high-falutin pancake robots are like a nervous person bowling, they're too stiff for the elegance of the action.
Technofixies are overrated and wrongly touted as progressive. There is currently no robot that can withstand the nuclear waste in the crumbling nuke plants on the coast of Japan. and just when you think things couldn't get any spookier, you find out on Russia Today that the yakuza are involved with supplying inexperienced exploited indigent workers, locked into forged contracts, to handle the precarious clean-up of the greatest ecological disaster in human history – this ongoing massive radioactive spill. They call these trapped workers "nuclear gypsies." Yes, the yakuza are a Japanese mafia, as strange as it sounds, it's as real and documented as Al Capone or any American gangster.
I think that's the problem with people not talking about this in small towns. Something so utterly dangerous that hangs on weak beams in deepening mud on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Methane plumes widening, missing plankton (the base of the marine foodchain) dissolved starfish, all these climate feedback loops, it's hard to wrap your mind around. You know we have all these different names for ocean, but there is really only one water body. Nature doesn't share our discriminations.
The reason we don't hear about this, is because regular people, good people around here don't conceive of the evil in our institutions today. We don't encounter such evil in a place like Chautauqua County. For the most part people are trusting and down to earth, with humble ambitions. We're more about being cozy in beautiful landscape with family, woodsmoke smells, seasonal traditions, harvest festivals, giant pumpkin contests, stuff like that. It's hard to take seriously the notion that evil is carried out by unthinking mechanisms in an unthinking system. But that's how the most dangerous evil does the most damage, by systematically carrying out a profit agenda, by individuals playing small roles, unthinkingly, and in concert together.
So I know the people here are not too self-absorbed or foolish to understand the critical situation in Japan. I think they are so trusting they can't comprehend of the quantities of corruption they need to understand to put the puzzle together. It is such an avalanche of corruption to explain where we are today, most folks just want to enjoy their life and not look at ugly things, as long as there are distractions still worth looking towards. I know people are trusting and good natured here, because all summer and most of the fall, I've had a bad radiator on my car, and the many times I stopped in a parking lot, propped the hood open with my trusty broom handle, and adjusted the fluids, strangers would always ask if I needed help.
With such lovely townsfolk why do I insist upon writing about such dreadful topics as nuclear gypsies and near-term-human extinction? Well because, it's interesting, it's true, and it's historical. No one who isn't ready to believe me will be capable of understanding, so it can't hurt anybody, but it might interest those other readers, the cream of the crop reader, I trust, will appreciate my honesty. And while I'm being honest, a funny thing happened, a local politician blocked me in my driveway at home to advertise himself as an anti-government politician. Literally government got in the way of my small business that day, but I smiled and nodded even when he took a long time trying to chum it up and dropped suspiciously invasive personal information. I just sighed a deep, "hallelujah" when he finally backed out. I told my dog, "it takes all kinds."
So let me make this simple, two years ago, an earthquake and typhoon suckerpunched a nuclear power plant in Japan which is understandable because it's situated on faultlines. The massive storm crippled the power plant, which is located between a mountain river and the Pacific Ocean. It was a nuclear plant built on the shore of the ocean, despite known design flaws by General Electric in the 1970s. I heard in an ABC investigative report interview that nuclear engineers at the time of the design, quit because of ethical disgust at GE, and switched to careers committed to anti-nuclear. Now it's two years since the spill, this plant's been leaking and weakening all this time, and now it is exposed that the workers are inexperienced pawns of the yakuza, and that if this thing falls and there is currently no plan to stop it, and it continues to weaken, and three major typhoons were all converging on it just last week, we're all toast.
But we are good country folk and we refuse to believe that things are so messed up. I love this beautiful county in the fall, and i don't blame you for getting lost in its grim victorian gothic beauty of the darkening fields ablaze with orange yellow, red and the bleached blonde of dead weeds and rusty scrub brush.
My personal favorite, is the winding roads and the smell of wood-stove from heated homes, blowing in cold wind. I always bring that up, but it hits me the hardest of all the smells of our region, anywhere you smell sweet wood burning in the cold, you're home. Let's appreciate what a beautiful world we had.

Few words perk up our ears more than "lobsterfest." Florida's spiny lobster season is officially underway, with divers reaching their limits in just one dive, while the commercial boys are already reeling in traps brimming with the tasty bugs. This means local seafood houses have begun to roll out the specials. To celebrate, Sailfish Marina Resort's restaurant is throwing down with the Singer Island Spiny Lobsterfest on August 10.
Running from noon to 8 p.m., this all-day event has something for everyone: tasty local lobster dishes, voodoo buckets, art exhibits, raffles and children activities, complete with bounce houses, dunk tanks, face-painting and water slides as well as some educational outlets with park services exhibits about the ecosystem and the lobster we so enjoy. Proceeds of the event will go to the local nonprofit Palm Beach Lagoon Keepers, whose sole mission is to keep the Lake Worth Lagoon and Intracoastal Waterway clean and free of derelict boats.

Wanted to ask:
1. Which is more resistant to feedback. The Anthem or the Imix (before additional Eq and notch filtering)?
2. The Imix is 2 systems mixed together, is the Anthem considered one whole system so I would only need one Eq device? So the Element and Anthem are pre Eq'd for this? Unlike the Imix, it seems that the Anthem doesn't come with an Eq preamp for adjustment.
Thanks in advance!

Christian founders in the US?
Hi guys (and gals, DonnaMarie!, TexRN, etc )
I got tired of the debate over the idea that the founders of the USA were perfectly christian, through and through, each and every one. I saw this as a sideshow issue, distracting us from immediate issues. For example, it might take people away from talking about Jesus and evangelism, moving them to arguing with non-believers over "this is a Christian country." The Puritans weren't the only people who sailed here from Europe.
David Barton gives presentations and arguments that the Founders were all Christians in the sense of Reformed Chrstianity (not Joel Osteen/Rick Joyner, but more like John MacArthur, Mark Driscoll, and John Piper). He presents out-of-context, misleading "evidence."
If this topic has ever been of interest to you, or if you have been annoyed by someone at church pushing us into an Americanism cult, then check this out:
The film is 3 hours. So, either make poppedcorn and plan a potty break, or break it into sections. I recommend taking a break after about 45 minutes or your brain will overfill and it'll become a senseless drone.
The presentation is put together by Chris Pinto. Pinto's early work has some difficulties in it, but he's improved his research into different topics since his first two films. This is his 6th or 7th. He states his main point right after the opening title. The best parts are where he shows how people get mislead (about 1/2way through) and then shows the rest of the letters that Barton is _effectively_ misquoting. To understand what he's saying in the second half, it's good to make sure you understand his explanation of Jefferson's version of nominal Christianity.
This youtube posting may be illegal. After seeing the film, if you found it useful, consider buying it. Do a search. It's available on several sites. I'm planning on buying in a few paychecks.
I hope this is useful to helping understand our world (wise as serpents). Thanks for reading.

Anyways, I'm about half an hour into this video and I'm currently putting as much stock in it as the average History Channel documentary. In other words, I'm not taking anything at face value; but I'm not going to totally write it off either.
I for one do not believe that every single Founding Father was a perfect Christian. In fact, I don't believe any of them were perfect Christians. Like anything else, I'm sure that many of them were just using Christianity to advance their own political agendas.
I did a lot of work on this subject while get my MA. I have seen this movie before and I have heard Barton before. The truth is actually in the middle. Many founders were followers. In fact in most states following the birth of the nation one had to be involved in church in order to get elected. In fact more than half the states had state ran churches. The founders were primarily of the reformed theology (Presybeterian and such) There were some who were deist and some who were agnostic. Of the original signers of the DOI all but 2 were active in their church. However as we all know being active in church makes you a followers about as much as working in a garage makes you a car.
So take the video and anything you hear from Barton with a grain of salt and realize they have a personal agenda and a per-disposed hypothesis. When doing historiography it is very easy to read the sources that fit your views and ignore the one that do not. Both of them did that. I got to read the works of just about every player in the founding of America and I learned a lot of what I thought was true was not so much.
No, you got me wrong about MacArthur and Driscoll (& Piper). Sorry I was unclear. I was saying that they are true Chrstian teachers.
MCURamFan got what I meant. Thanks.

Thanks Chris!
YEah, I could give better warning. Pinto very plainly says that he's not referring to all founders and that some are straightforward, biblical Christian. It's the "All Were Christian" stance that Pinto is correcting. The reason for sharing this is because there are people infiltrating churches and twisting patriotism into a cult, an idolatry, such as David Barton. When you say that the "truth is in the middle," you are talking about head-counts and actually agree with Pinto in the film.
Paying attention while listening, one can see that Pinto has started doing research in a more formal fashion (e.g. using the letters of contemporaries, etc). The real meat starts when he gives examples of looking at one quote from a person and assuming too much about that person. It's good for helping the viewer with clear thinking. Pinto is actually correcting the "all-or-none" type thinking, such as how we've fallen into a fascism toward people groups, and said so plainly regarding the Signers (DoI). Your comment made it look like Pinto was on the "none" end, but he's more careful and didactic than that. I didn't get so detailed before about the video's contents because I expect people to be able to listen and pick up on what's plainly stated. (Hrm. I'm often told that people can't do that.)
For better warning, here: The first 1/3rd of the film is a little fluffy. The middle 1/3rd is where the meat is, but it's better not to skip ahead because Pinto is constructing a case. The last 1/3rd is less so, but not so fluffy. It's been a couple months since I've seen it. In the last half, you have to trowel through Washington's "closet" catholicism, but it's more like the producer is merely making his way around all the more famous guys as we'd expect from his opening thesis statement. Most of his focus in the middle is on the misinterpretation of Jefferson and Adams. Jefferson is popular to "Christianize" and Adams is a specific example that Barton twists. Pinto does plainly, here and elsewhere, state that there were biblical Christians, but that they weren't alone--it was a mix. The local populations were more Puritan/Presbyterian, etc than the guys who became more famous. The whole purpose in sharing this is that Barton et al.'s lies are becoming popular and leading people into a weird Americanist cult, devotion to nationalism above God. What's interesting is that once you know how these guys believed/thought, then "Creator" and "self-evident truths" take on a whole different meaning, even though our application is the same.

On your reading: Dude, that's awesome. Anymore, I'm more interested in the less-often-discussed guys. I'm kinda tired of hearing about Jefferson's faith(s). It's almost like the non-Christians got all the notoriety. You gotta think that might just fit with humility. haha.
Ok, break time is almost over. I hopped on here for the training threads. :P

Hindus in India and around the world are in the midst of celebrating Navratri, the colorful and light-laden, nine-day festival also known as Durga Puja. Dedicated to Durga, Hindus celebrate the mother goddess' defeat of the demon Mahishasura — the triumph of good over evil.
Shiva, the Hindu deity of destruction and transformation, then permitted Durga to see her own mother for nine days in the year. The tenth day is known as Dussehra or Vijayadashami, an auspicious time in which Hindus launch new activities or the beginning of learning.

Successful FailuresPosted Wednesday, September 12, 2012, at 2:27 PM
Take a wet sponge and throw it against the wall and water will splash out. Take a christian who is soaking in the Lord and throw them into a trial or difficulty what happens? Does Jesus "leak" out or flesh? A lot depends on if we are absorbing His Presence or are absorbed by the world.
One area we seldom exceed in as christians is personal failure. When we fail we often fail to avail ourselves of the grace of GOD. Condemnation, discouragement, anger (in its many disguises), hopelessness, unworthiness, etc. But what if we could be successful failures? No one would expect that.
Secret faults and hidden sin
I know this is not the life I should live
I laid my sin down only to pick it up again
Grace isn't grace when it is in your control
Demanding a price that you can never pay
But grace can do what you never could
Naaman dipped seven times not six, five or four
GOD is not disappointed when we confess our sin
With each sin confessed a seed is planted
The early disciples were an awful lot like us. We would hardly consider them exceeding expectations as they walked physically with Jesus during His earthly ministry. What a bunch of misfits. How incredibily slow they were to "get it". Easily distracted. Missing the important and focusing on the meaningless. Yep, they were an awful lot like us.
But you know what? Jesus never gave up on them. And this bunch of "successful failures" eventually quit focusing on their weaknesses and strengths and began to live continously in His Presence. Truth is, they were closer to Jesus after His death than they were during His life. So once again we see the importance of the Cross.
A friend recently shared a song about giving it all to Jesus but then taking it back. One line had about being afraid Jesus wouldn't take the pain. Truth is He already has. We know the theology of grace but like my friend we tend to fear that some things GOD won't take. Honestly, how many times can you confess something and ask for forgiveness? Or strength to overcome?
Well, when does grace stop being grace and become works? When does the Blood lose its' power? When does faith that GOD can give way to I can't? If complete victory over sin was within my grasp why the Cross?
Does GOD really expect us to give everything to Him? Even the "secret" faults, shames, failure?
The only way I can do this is through Christ.
4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Philippians 4:13
His strength is greater than my weakness. His love is greater than my self hate. His victory is greater than my defeat. In Him, in the strength of His love, I can bring all to Jesus.
Sometimes I wonder if maybe the parable of the good shepherd who leaves 99 sheep in the fold to go look for one lost sheep could also apply to an individual's life. Often the root cause of our failure or weakness is buried so deeply we don't know why we do what we hate. I've had surgeries. The surgeon told me what he was going to do and then He did at the appointed time. I don't know the details, all the whys and becauses and such. I just know now that I no longer have problems with what I once did. In the same way we are healed spiritually.
Got a problem you can't get victory over? Go to Jesus.
Living with the shame of past failure? Go to Jesus.
Struggling to help others while you are struggling? Go to Jesus.
Surrendered all to Jesus but secretly holding on to something? Go to Jesus.
It's not expected. Why not be like everyone else and learn to live with it? Exceeding the expected is never expected.

I have the heart of a poet, the eye of an artist, and dress like a bum. I am no one important. No title, no position, no authority. Just a normal person. But I know Jesus. And Jesus knows me. And this relationship has changed my life and continues to change my life. I have no desire to be known but great desire for others to know Jesus. I would like to blog about Jesus, christian living, church, hurting, hope. I do not want to lead this blog but follow it wherever it leads.

Ashland sidewalk construction project pleases parents
The Ashland city council has approved a plan for building a new stretch of sidewalk that should make life safer for many elementary and middle school students.
The Walker Avenue Safe Route to School project will connect a sidewalk from Walker Avenue's intersection with Ashland Street to an existing section across from Ashland Middle School.
The project will also fund improvements to smooth out Walker Avenue's rough railroad crossing. Construction is not due to begin until 2013, but parents are already giving the plan their seal of approval.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 12, 2008) – The U.S. Women's National Indoor Volleyball Team, ranked fourth in the world, dropped a 25-17, 26-28, 25-19, 25-19 match to second-ranked Italy Saturday afternoon on day four of the round robin FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan.
Italy bolted to an 8-3 lead in the first set and never allowed the U.S. back into the hunt with a 25-17 victory. The second set looked much the same as Italy grabbed a 9-3 lead, but Team USA came back to win 28-26 sparked by the emergence of Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) off the bench to score five points. The U.S. came back from an 8-4 deficit in the third set to tie the set at 10-all, but Italy used nine American errors in the set and a 7-2 run to close out the frame for a 25-19 victory. Italy rallied from a 17-14 deficit in the fourth set by scoring 11 of the final 13 points for a 25-19 victory.
"I think Italy played a great game, especially in defense and blocking," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach 'Jenny' Lang Ping. "I think we have so many unforced errors and that is a big area we need to improve, but also we are happy to give this opportunity to young players. I think the young players played well, especially No. 19 Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.). I think she has a lot of potential. We need to be patient and keep her working. She is still a student, with one year to graduate from Stanford. She is a very smart student and has not had enough training with the national team."
In other World Grand Prix matches played later today, Brazil (4-0) defeated Cuba (3-1) 25-14, 25-15, 25-20 in the battle of undefeated teams. Japan (1-2) hosts China (0-3) at 6 p.m. Japan Time. Brazil is in first place all by itself, followed by second-place Cuba. Italy (2-2) moves into third place. Japan (1-2) can move into a tie for third and ahead of the USA (1-3) with a victory tonight, while China (0-3) is currently in last place.
The World Grand Prix Final Round is a round-robin format with each team playing five matches in five days. Team concludes the Final Round on July 13 against Olympic Games host China at 11:30 a.m. (8:30 p.m. MT on July 12). Team USA dropped its Final Round opener on July 9 to Brazil 25-19, 25-19, 25-23, followed by a 26-28, 25-20, 22-25, 25-20, 15-11 victory over Japan on July 10. The U.S. led Cuba 2-0 in sets on July 11 before losing in five sets 22-25, 17-25, 25-18, 25-21, 15-11.
Akinradewo and Ogonna Nnamani (Bloomington, Ill.) tied for the U.S. point lead with 18. Akinradewo netted 14 kills on 29 attempts to go with a match-high four blocks. Nnamani totaled 15 kills, two blocks and an ace, while adding nine excellent service receptions on 25 attempts and one fault. Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) produced 12 points with 11 kills and an ace. She handled five digs to go with 14 excellent service receptions on 30 errorless attempts. Scott-Arruda finished the match with nine points on seven kills via 12 swings and two blocks. Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.) contributed five kills on 14 errorless attacks, one block and one ace off the bench. Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) charted three blocks and 31 assists, while Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) tallied three kills. Heather Bown rounded out the scoring with a kill. Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) tallied 20 digs of Team USA's 33 digs in the loss.
"Once again it was a tough game," Berg said. "For USA as a positive was that we got to play a lot of our younger players and give one of our younger middles and outsides some real good experience against a real good Italian team. We are very fortunate we got the opportunity to do that and to grow as a team. We are just going to keep getting better every day and hopefully tomorrow we can get a win."
The U.S. started Bown and Akinradewo at middle blocker, Tom and Nnamani at outside hitter, Barboza at opposite and Berg at setter. All but Bown and Berg in the starting lineup are past or current players for Stanford University. Sykora is the designated U.S. libero for the Final Round. Scott-Arruda and Glass started the third and fourth sets after subbing into the second set. Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) came off the bench as defensive replacement in the third and fourth sets, while Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) made a brief appearance in the second set.
Team USA held a 12-5 advantage over Italy in blocks, but its own 26 errors proved costly in comparison to the victor's 12. Italy also put pressure on the U.S. from the first point of contact with a 10-3 ace margin. The U.S. managed only a 35.1 excellent service reception perception due to the Italian serve, just slightly lower than Italy's 37.50 percent. Italy scored kills on 48.4 percent of its attacks, while Team USA was limited to a 39.7 percent by the Italian defense.
Serena Ortolani sparked Italy with 20 points on 19 kills and a block. Taismary Aguero added 14 kills and three aces in the victory. Sara Anzanello chipped in six kills, three blocks and two aces for the Italians.
The 2008 FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round has six teams all qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Brazil is currently ranked first in the world by FIVB, followed by second-ranked Italy, third-ranked Cuba, fourth-ranked USA, sixth-ranked China and eighth-ranked Japan. Most teams at the World Grand Prix Final Round will be using the five matches as evaluation tools to select their Olympic Games 12-player roster. In addition, the structure of the tournament makes it difficult for coaches to play the same lineup five consecutive days due to fatigue.
The U.S. has not qualified for the World Grand Prix Final Round since 2004, the last Olympic Games year. The Americans finished third in 2004, followed by eighth place in 2005, seventh place in 2006 and eighth place in 2007. Team USA has won the premier annual event in 1995 and 2001. Brazil has won three of the last four titles, while defending champion Netherlands failed to qualify for this year's World Grand Prix. Italy has medaled in the last four World Grand Prix events with silver medals in 2004 and 2005, and bronze medals in 2006 and 2007. China, the 2008 World Grand Prix leader, finished second last year as it hosted the Finals in Ningbo.
Team USA finished with a 7-2 record and in fourth place in the FIVB World Grand Prix preliminary round. The FIVB World Grand Prix includes three preliminary round weekends with three different sites each weekend hosting round-robin events of four teams. The top five teams in the preliminary round along with the host country comprise the Final Round field.
The U.S. has qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and is using the World Grand Prix as an evaluation tool to help determine the 12-player roster for the Olympic Games. Team USA faces Japan on Aug. 9 to open the 2008 Olympic Games. Other teams in the American pool are Cuba (Aug. 11), Venezuela (Aug. 13), China (Aug. 15) and Poland (Aug. 17).
Italy led 4-1 early in the first set with a block, ace and U.S. error. Barboza and Akinradewo answered with consecutive kills to pull to one, 4-3. Italy responded with a 5-0 run to take a 9-3 advantage. Italy jumped its lead to seven at 14-7 with back-to-back points. Italy extended its lead to nine points at 20-11 with a 3-0 run. Berg put up a block after a Nnamani kill to close the gap to 20-13. Italy regained its nine-point spread at 23-14 with consecutive points. USA cut the gap to seven at 23-16 with a Barboza kill. Italy ended the set at 25-17 on its second chance. Nnamani and Akinradewo each tallied four points in the first set as Italy scored three of its points on aces.
Italy gained a two-point cushion at 3-1 in the second set, then pushed the gap further to 6-2 on three unanswered points. As in the first set, Italy took a five-point lead into the first technical timeout at 8-3, then increased the margin to six at 9-3 as part of a 3-0 run. Akrinradewo and Nnamani tallied consecutive kills to cut the lead to four, 11-7. Tom scored consecutive kills to pull Team USA to three, 12-9. Tom served an ace after a Scott-Arruda kill to pull the Americans to within two, 14-12. Italy upped its lead to four at 17-13 with points on each side of the second technical timeout. Akinradewo and Nnamani powered down kills and Glass put up a block to knot the score at 18-all. The USA took the lead at 20-19, but Italy regained the lead at 21-20. Scott-Arruda put up a block followed by a Glass ace to put the U.S. back in front 22-21. Italy earned the first set point at 24-23 with consecutive points.

Thankful for a win
The Alpena girls soccer team hosted Tawas on Monday and although it may not have been their cleanest win of the season, the Wildcats shut down the Braves 1-0.
The win gives the Wildcats their fourth shutout of the season and keeper Carley Hoeksema's third of the year.
"There's an old adage that says you're always supposed to celebrate a victory. It may have been a bit sloppy but it was a win nonetheless," Alpena coach Tim Storch said.
The only goal of the night came 13 minutes into the game off the boot of Rieke Hoffner.
Earlier in the half, Tawas showed some solid offensive play, but Alpena was able to turn it around and take several shots that just about made it in the net.
Keying the offense was Alex Prezewozniak, who out-maneuvered Braves' defenders regularly. Her speed and quick jukes gave her the opportunity to hover around the goal and set up scoring chances that Alpena simply couldn't convert.
"When you leave so many goals hanging and let them (Tawas) hang around too long it usually leads to problems. Fortunately, my back line of Emily Duncan, Emily Code, Megan Martin and Anneliese Mathia was able to hold them off," Storch said.
Strong defensive play from Tawas players such as Maria Bacarella and Erica Beavers helped Tawas keep Alpena to a one point spread to end the half.
Przewozniak opened up a few excellent chances in the second half, including a shot 27 minutes into the second that hung just behind the goalie. A second, similar scoring chance came a minute later, but it didn't drop in the net.
These scoring chances for Alpena came about due to more focus and the offense taking time to set up plays.
"There's some good signs that they're starting to pick it up," Storch said.
Other scoring chances came from Duncan, who nearly booted a long goal shot about 10 minutes into the half. Duncan also consistently set up solid plays that coulda-woulda-scored but didn't quite make it.
Hoeksema didn't see a lot of close shots, but she was able to be in the right position when she was needed and never seemed to lose focus throughout the game, even as she spent minutes at a time watching her team's offensive drives from the other side of the field.
"Carley did a good job getting those long shots and got her hands on a few close ones," Storch said.
The Braves played more solid offense in the second half to get a few shots and corner kick chances. They were more successful at getting the ball near the net, but the Wildcats were able to maintain solid defensive pressure.
Solid play by Isabelle O'Neil and Natalie Nowakowski was key to shutting down any Tawas offensive pressure. The Braves were also hampered by the los of Kaytlyn Jackson, who sat out most of the second half after taking a ball to the face.
Alpena hosts Gaylord tonight, the top team in the Big North Conference.
"We got the win tonight but if they don't play better against the number one team, it's gonna be a long night," Storch said.

Chicken and Bacon Corn Chowder
- Poached chicken and chicken broth:
- 1 large (approximately 6 pounds) chicken
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 pound thick bacon, diced
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 5 stalks celery, diced
- 2 medium Spanish onions, diced
- 2 medium russet or all-purpose potatoes, peeled and diced
- 8 ears fresh corn, removed from the cob
- 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 3 cups heavy cream
- Freshly ground black pepper
To poach the chicken: Combine the chicken, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, thyme, pepper and a tablespoon of salt large pot. Add water to cover, at least 3 quarts. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat, skimming occasionally. Skim, add more water if necessary to keep the chicken covered, and continue to gently simmer until the chicken is fully cooked (the juices from the thigh will run clear), about 40 minutes. Drain the chicken reserving the broth. Allow the chicken to cool then remove the meat from the bones. Discard the bones and refrigerate the meat until ready to make the chowder. Measure out 1 1/2 quarts of the broth and reserve for the chowder. Freeze or refrigerate any remaining broth until needed for another purpose.
To make the chowder: Heat the bacon and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook until the bacon fat is rendered and the meat firming but not yet crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and onions. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables begin to soften, about 6 minutes. Add the potatoes, corn, and thyme. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are fully soft, about 8 additional minutes.
Add the chicken broth to the pot. Bring the broth to a simmer over medium-high heat. Turn down the heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the cream and reserved chicken. Return the chowder to a simmer, season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into warm bowls and serve.

Myself and the rest of the Devil Dogs had a wonderful weekend playing with and against everyone. I just wanted to get this off of my chest. Please in the future, if you see a rocket on the field that does not belong to you or teammate please leave it on the ground. The refs did a pretty good job this year of picking them up and returning them to Viper Command but I know some people took them as souvenirs as I came with 120 and left with 12. They aren't cheap, I buy them for my side to be able to make big pushes as the launcher is a very effective tool. I just ask that if you see a rocket laying on the ground (it will most likely have a team name on it) either just leave it there as the rules state or if you must pick it up return it to the team that is written on it. It would be much appreciated.

'These fish can efficiently utilize a much higher percentage of plant protein in their feed than others,' says Entis.consume 25 percent less feed than their standard Atlantic Salmon brethren to achieve the same growth, and even better, they are able to efficiently utilize a much higher percentage of plant protein in their feed than the others. In a recently concluded trial, plant protein was substituted for 50 percent of the fish meal in the industry diet and the result was that the AquAdvantage salmon not only tolerated this, but grew more quickly than any of the standard salmon and still retained the same nutrient content. In sum, the amount of fish needed to grow one pound of AquAdvantage Atlantics is reduced from the industry standard of about 2 pounds to roughly one pound.
'Greater efficiency is a distraction from the problem of our over-reliance on animal protein,' says Greenberg.larger problem of humans and our unsustainable over-reliance on animal protein.
'We have gotten by with few dollars and bad PR, but pretty good science,' says Entis.million more through 2012. Prior to 2006 the company raised about $25 million. All of this is private capital, of course, and over the course of 20-plus years, not very much money. I would love to have been the head of a company with serious resources, but the fact is that we have gotten by with few dollars and bad PR, but pretty good science.
'Others would rather take a longer range view and wait and see if the technology is truly safe,' says Greenberg.salmon itself. Just as farmers of corn and soy are caught in a relationship with the large seed companies where they must purchase seed from a handful of firms that own the genetic material of their seed, isn't it true that should the AquAdvantage fish come to be grown in the United States won't you then have something of a monopoly?
'No fish has undergone as much testing and analysis as the AquaAdvantage salmon,' says Entis.unethical because people with an inferior product will be disadvantaged? Is that what you would have written when the first Model T rolled off the line and the horse and buggy industry cried foul? Your "ethical" objection can be raised against any new invention or product. Do I hope salmon farmers will buy the AquAdvantage eggs? Of course, and then the farmers, consumers, and the environment will benefit. I think that is pretty ethical.
'I stand opposed to modified salmon until the industry can enforce standards to keep them out of the sea,' says Greenberg.fish farms out of the sea. But I don't believe that will happen. I think that somewhere along the line someone will realize that they can make even more money growing genetically modified fish in the open ocean. Maybe it won't be AquaBounty. Maybe it will be one of your future American competitors. Maybe it will be a competitor in a place like China, where environmental safeguards are much less stringent. And since modified salmon will be cheaper, there will be more demand and then more salmon farms in the ocean. The load and burden on the environment will increase, not decrease.

Matt Scott Blog - Back to Action
My family is doing great and has never been more proud, and my friends are still so supportive and my connection to each of them has grown with the distance. My family and friends are so important to me and they have been such an incredible source of encouragement not only for this experience but throughout my entire athletic career. It's extremely motivating having them in my corner, and I am forever grateful to have them.
I returned a week before team practice resumes, and it has been an excellent time to get in the gym and work on my game individually an****ey in on the things that I need to work on. I am not one that believes practice makes perfect, but it does make progress. I still have goals this season that have yet to be reached so the hard work will continue. European championships are approaching very quickly, and I will make sure I am more than prepared. It is a highly anticipated event and each team will be working very hard. It's my job to make sure that I am working harder than them, and have a stronger hunger for success.
I'm glad to be back! My focus is strong and I am eager to get back to competition. The Turkish league games will resume in the next week or so, and maintaining our dominance in that league is a priority. As the returning champs of the Turkish league and also the European league there is a huge responsibility on each of us to provide the success that the team is accustomed to. I willingly accept that task and love to win! Doing what I can for the team to stay on top is very important to me. I play for a team that demands results and it encourages me to be the best ball player I can be.
Things have progressed so quickly since I've arrived and before I know it this season will be over. I will always cherish this experience! It has been life changing in the most positive ways. I made the right decision by choosing this organization, and have remained happy the entire time. Being so far away from familiarity and comfort can be a difficult transition and the team has done everything they can to make the transition easy for me. I am excited for the rest of the season to play out, and as it does I will keep you posted.

It's a fun, comprehensive retrospective, but what really grabbed me was the illustration that Colin Panetta did for it, of a skeleton that's recently been "planted". Death-by-flowers has long been one of my favourite of Grim Fandango's many creative flourishes and I adore this illustration.
Panetta has put up a cool post walking through his process for making the image, and it also has links to the image in a bunch of different image resolutions, the better to make it your wallpaper. Nice.
