Sometimes you get sucked into a situation that you would have just as soon avoided but you took one too many steps in the wrong direction so that retreat no longer became an option. In other words, I did something that I didn't want to do but I found I had no other choice but to act the way I did.
Last weekend, my youngest son invited me to travel north to Utah County and participate in the annual Salem City Snow softball tournament. Despite my several weak attempts at not playing because of this or that, of which my son totally ignored, I found I had no excuse not to go and so I showed up Saturday morning to play softball in eight inches of snow. This was not my first time to play in this annual tournament so I should have been smarter but that is a whole different article.
Actually, it had more to do with my wife and I wanting to give our foreign exchange student more of the Utah experience than my need to avoid the eventual pain that would accompany the physical activity that I was about to participate in.
We had already decided to travel to Salt Lake City and show her the Christmas lights of downtown including those on Temple Square with all the festivities that go on there on any given night and so since I was already over the mountain I had no further excuse at not playing.
So how is it to play in snow you ask, well I will tell you this, the ball stops as soon as it hits the ground which throws all of your instincts off, the ball doesn't travel as far in the air due to the cold temperatures and sometimes throwing a wet ball is an adventure but other than that it was fun.
So how did we do? We won the first game against a team that had made the finals the past four years to give ourselves hope and then we gave away two games due to our lack of hitting and our fielding errors. Unfortunately for us, the game of softball still needs the same skill level in the winter in the snow as it does in the summer on the grass. You still have to make the plays and we didn't when it counted. We lost two games that were winnable and then we were done.
So in the third, and as it turned out our final game, and as I started this story with a tale of getting into a situation that I didn't want to be in. I got sucked into mouthing off to the umpire. I was just fine even with the missed call in a close game but as I walked by in the final inning, the umpire made just a little remark that stopped me from any longer acting responsibly and I responded to which he responded to which I responded to which he asked me if I wanted to watch from the parking lot or something like that. At that point, despite knowing that it would be warmer out there, I simply smiled, said something nice and walked away.
Would that call have made a difference in the game, who knows but it would have kept me from having a moment that I wish I would not have had. But all in all, I had fun, I hit the ball OK and I threw the ball better than I could have hoped. As it turned out, I had a good day with my son, showing my student a new game played in adverse conditions and doing something out of the ordinary. It was a good day.
Moral of the story? Get out of your rut and do something different, have fun and make life an adventure. Life is too short not to enjoy. It is a new year, make it special! Say yes when you really want to say no, get out of your box and see life from a different prospective.
As Les Brown once said, "No one gets out of the game of life alive. You either die in the bleachers or out on the field. So you might as well come out on the field and go for it!" Have a very happy new year!

"They grow up so fast" I hear from everyone. My parents, my friends, other moms at the pool, the sweat-drenched mailman, the harried grocery store clerk, the homeless woman. It's been a unanimous vote through all of those precious (sleepless?) early months. Mired as I was in the molasses of my days, I felt confident disregarding the dire predictions. Sure, Little Friend would grow up...someday...in the vague and distant future. I forgot about the future's annoying propensity to turn into today. Yesterday, as I watched Little Friend select her shoes, put on bracelets, and feed her baby (doll) at 19 years, I mean, months old, I had to join the wistful chorus in decrying, "They grow up so fast!" I'm now ever more so grateful for the moments I invested in Little Friend's infancy to baby massage, thanks to the incomparable BabyBabyOhBaby DVD. American blogger Beth Hendrickson explains on The Attached Family online magazine at http://theattachedfamily.com/membersonly/?p=2821

Innerspring mattresses are one of the most common mattress types available. Tempered steel coiled springs and layers of foam are used to reduce pressure points and ensure your body is supported throughout the night.
Coil Gauge: The gauge of coil is the thickness of the wire used in a mattress. The lower the gauge, the thicker/heavier the wire, which will create a firmer feel.
Coil Count: The coil count indicates the number of coils used in an innerspring mattress. A high coil count does not necessarily translate into a higher quality mattress.
Comfort Layers: Innerspring mattresses can vary in comfort levels, from extra firm to super-soft. A combination of various foams, either soft or firm, are used to create your desired comfort level.
Edge Support (tool tip near edge): Mattresses with edge support offer comfort across the entire mattress, helping the mattress retain its shape and provide long-lasting comfort.

Preview: Game #45 Leafs @ Sens - Ohhh Baby!!!
Cam Charron
April 20 2013 02:17PM
It's going to be Bob Cole broadcasting tonight's Maple Leafs and Senators game. It ought to have a good playoff atmosphere. Say what you want about Hockey Night in Canada—their production is second-to-none and their microphones relay in the perfect amount of crowd, ice and broadcaster noise.
This will be the last game Ottawa and Toronto play against each other this season, barring some sort of wizardry that allows the two teams to meet up in the playoffs. The teams almost certainly won't be the 4-5 matchup. But with Cole calling the game, a loud, multi-partisan crowd at Scotiabank Place, and a relevant game between two winning teams playing against each other in April for the first time in nearly a decade… this is going to feel kind of cool. As long as the Senators wear their old red jerseys with the black swish and not the boring ones they have now.
Winnipeg got a single point against the New York Islanders in this afternoon's game. That means that the most they can end up with in their remaining three games is 55 points and 24 regulation or overtime wins:
The Maple Leafs currently have 53 points and 24 regulation or overtime wins. Do the math there. That second category is the first tie-breaker, so two points, that don't come in a shootout, will put the Leafs in the playoffs for the first time since 2004.
However, with the two points taken by the Islanders today, a non-shootout loss would send the Leafs into a tie for 6th (with New York) although they have clinched the tiebreaker over both Islanders and Senators. The Sens can't clinch tonight, so if they win, the earliest either team would be able to clinch is Monday when the Jets play again. The Senators would own the fifth seed tonight with a win, whether it's in regulation, OT, or shootout, based on having played fewer games than Toronto or the Islanders.

What happened last time the Leafs played Ottawa? Well, Nazem Kadri scored a hat-trick, the Leafs won 4-0 and Nazem Kadri was kissed by Don Cherry. As good buddy Dustin Pollack notes over at Yahoo!:
Before CBC could cut to commercial at the end of the segment Cherry laid a sweet smooch on Kadri's left cheek something he's famous for doing to Leafs great Doug Gilmour on the same post-game segment in the early '90s.
The problem? Kadri hasn't scored since, which has some in the media referring to the smooch he received from Cherry as the 'kiss of death', and this is the point of the regular season when the Leafs need his offensive production most.
On April 1st, I wrote a thought with the headline "Be cautious about Nazem Kadri". I unfortunately didn't write an actual post about Kadri's sure-to-regress on-ice shooting percentage, but I have made allusions to it over Twitter and such. His on-ice shooting percentage was hovering around 20% at that point, and it turns out it's tougher to score points when one out of every five shots you're on the ice for are going into the net.
So the "slump" isn't an indication that Kadri is falling apart in this market under heavy expectations. It's a slow-down. Kadri's true talent isn't two points per eight games. It's closer to five or six points per seven games, or about 55-60 over the course of 82. Now he's down to 14.7% according to Behind the Net.
As for the Senators… well, getting Craig Anderson back helps. He's only played in 20 games this season and I doubt we can expect his save percentage to stay at .954 at even strength. He's had an absurd year broken up by injury. Always thought he was pretty good and underrated, but he's not this good.
Neither is the Senators' penalty kill, which is 1st in percentages and 2nd in goals against rate. They're 24th in giving up shots. Anderson's stopping .922 of shots on the PK, and Robin Lehner has stopped .964. That's an absolutely absurd number, and part of what can happen in a short season. The sample is too damn small and eventually things will balance out.
Here are the Sens' lines via friend of The Leafs Nation Chris Lund and OttawaSenators.com:
Milan Michalek - Kyle Turris - Daniel Alfredsson
Cory Conacher - Mika Zibanejad - Jakob Silfverberg
Matt Kassian - Zack Smith - Chris Neil
Colin Greening - Jean-Gabriel Pageau - Erik Condra
Chris Phillips - Marc Methot
Eric Gryba - Jared Cowen
Patrick Wiercioch - Sergei Gonchar
Craig Anderson
Robin Lehner
Here is the Senators' lineup as submitted to Bob Cole:
The Ottawa Player - The Ottawa Player - Daniel Alfredsson
The Ottawa Player - The Ottawa Player - The Ottawa Player
The Ottawa Player - The Ottawa Player - Chris Neil
The Ottawa Player - The Ottawa Player - The Ottawa Player
The Ottawa Defenceman - The Ottawa Defenceman
The Ottawa Defenceman - The Ottawa Defenceman
The Ottawa Defenceman - The Ottawa Defenceman
The Goaltender
The second line is nicknamed the "Calder" line. Zibanejad is second on the team in Corsi and that line generally gets the sheltered starts. They're designed to be good offensively.
The third line gets defensive treatment and are nicknamed "the monosyllabic line" since no member has a vocabulary consisting of any word longer than their names. They are, however, plus-possession players facing the toughest minutes on the team (Smith is .832 Corsi Rel QoC with a 48.9% offensive zone start rate) so they can be forgiven for their cavemanish ways.
As for the Leafs, well, Clarke MacArthur, Matt Frattin and Ryan Hamilton have been rotating through duties as healthy scratches as Colton Orr and Frazer McLaren continue to waste ice-time. Again, we don't know what kind of lineup Randy Carlyle will ice. Last game they announced early on in the day that McLaren was out and Frattin was in, but Frattin sat out his second straight contest and McLaren played 5:57.
I expect the defence will stay together though. I've enjoyed Jake Gardiner and Dion Phaneuf as a pairing and they've been the only pairing that hasn't gotten killed in puck possession over the last two games. Would expect they see mostly time against the Calder Line since Carlyle doesn't get last change and will send them out primarily in defensive spots. I do know that whether the Turris line or the Zibanejad line get out against Ryan O'Byrne, they'll probably be the ones doing the most damage from a possession perspective.

Rachael Ray Isn't the Only Al-Qaeda Sympathizer
And you thought Rachael Ray's greatest crime was inundating the airwaves with cheesy catchphrases and popularizing mediocre recipes. According to some conservative wackos, she might be a terrorist sympathizer, too: After the daytime star was spotted wearing a keffiyeh-style scarf in a recent Dunkin' Donuts ad, right-wing squawkers like Michelle Malkin immediately proposed a boycott of the chain, claiming the garb was "a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos." The coffee giant blamed the fashion faux pas on a stylist today and announced it was halting the campaign effective immediately. But Ray is hardly the first famous person to be seen wearing the trademark Arab garb. Keffiyehs have been worn by downtown hipsters and celebs for years now. And Malkin conveniently failed to point out that the trend seems to have caught on with some of George W. Bush's closest family members, too.
No, it's not just Jay-Z, Sting, Ricky Martin, Howard Dean, Colin Farrell, Ashley Olson, and Cameron Diaz who all happen to be members of Osama Bin Laden's inner circle. You can add Dubya's niece, Lauren Bush, to the list, too.

Teen charged in toddler's death
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. - A 13-year-old is now facing homicide charges after authorities say the toddler was shot in the head with a BB gun.
News 5 WCYB learned the district attorney's office made the decision to file a petition with Juvenile court for reckless homicide charges against the teen who was supposed to be watching the child and his 10-year-old brother.
Carter County Sheriff Chris Mathes says an autopsy revealed four-year-old Coty Cox died from a single BB gun shot to the head.
The child's mother told officers she had gone to the store and says she was only gone for a short time.
Sheriff Chris Mathes released more information during an afternoon press release on Wednesday.

"Bought these shoes for the style, not the comfort. Tried them on in the store in black first, then came home and bought them in grey. I knew they wouldn't be the most comfortable, but I have shoe pads that I put in them as well as other shoes to make the toe more comfortable. I get compliments every time I wear them, and they add enough sparkle to your outfit and your day to make you feel good! Livens up any outfit, even the dullest of work clothes. Comes with extra gems in case any fall off (3 months and none have yet!)"

overpriced for poor quality
"These shoes have no support, I would never be able to wear them if I had to do a lot of walking. The sparkling jewels are cute, and are what drew me to these shoes but they are not very secure and more come off with each wearing. There was a packet of extras in the box, but who wants to do that after each time they're worn? These were not at all worth the money I paid for them."
