New York Trip
Hey New Yorkers,
I'm planning to take my wife to NYC for the weekend. Only problem is there are 500,000 hotels crammed into the city. Anyone have any suggestions on where to stay and what to do?
Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk
New hotels opened up in Brooklyn. 15 to 20 minute train ride into the city, but if you really need to stay in the time square section I can see how the availability is at the new York palace but it's still over $300 a night

Well my wife has family in Brighton Beach and Coney Island. So I'd prefer to stay away when I'm on vacation, ya know? Lol
As for the hotel, I'm looking to spend around $200. It seems like there a ton that are anywhere from $160-205, I'm just not sure where in the city we would want to stay.

Jerry Joseph is starting to show his age. Sure, the veteran musician and songwriter hasn't lost any of his tempestuous vitality as he approaches his 50s. But Civility, his recent acoustic collaboration with longtime friend Wally Ingram, exhibits the measured reflection that younger artists rarely portray authentically. The album sounds like a half-century of good and bad times rolled into seven tracks.
That's not to suggest that Civility is a particularly dreary experience. The musicianship makes for a brisk blend of old material, new efforts and a couple of covers. Joseph's experience as a guitarist is evident in his nimble note picking, while his vocal inflections neatly complement the album's tone. Ingram provides percussive support with what sounds like just about every implement that can be shaken, smacked or beaten in a sonically satisfying rhythm.
Covered numbers include M.I.A's "Paper Planes" and Blitzen Trapper's "Furr"—strong songs intriguingly re-imagined. Even so, they don't combine well stylistically or thematically with the original material. Joseph's own pen provides the strongest moments. The man might be getting contemplative about his 50 years spent, but he still sounds hungry for 50 more.
Jerry Joseph and Wally Ingram play the Palace Saturday, Dec. 18, at 9 PM, with Jeff Crosby and The Fumeroles. $8.

I went to the source you suggested and found this:
The president and Congress are making similar proposals at the national level, setting off a major debate over how best to respond to the complexities of climate change
So, which is the immoral side of the debate? I appear to be on a different side of the debate on how best to respond from you ... is it a sin for me to hold my position? It appears to be you who believes that no debate is necessary.
In a debate dominated by environmental groups, scientists and alternative energy entrepreneurs on the one hand, and by utilities, agribusiness, coal and oil companies and others with vested interests on the other hand
This is an intellectually dishonest statement that implies that those who dispute the theory of AGW are dishonest, greedy, and selfish while those pushing the theory all wear white hats and love puppies. Your source is not very impressive.
Dear Ender - I disagree with you. You disagree with me - I have tried very hard to be appropriate in all my responses with you and others - I don't think we are going to move each other so I will respectfully refrain from responding to your posts any more - you don't like my sources - so we'll leave it at that - peace

1. Re: merge slow on big (but not huge) tableUdo Jun 24, 2011 11:46 AM (in response to Alain)Alain,
did you ensure that you've gathered fresh and valid statistics for those tables, or did you try a hint to enforce index-usage?
But it could be that bad anyway with that amount of data to be processed in one step. XE doesn't only have the 11 GB data limit, but also uses a maximum of 1 GB of memory in total (SGA+PGA). I'd expect your queries will both exceed that value.
"Partitioning breaks bottlenecks" => You could try to split your "todelete"-table into multiple smaller parts, and to ensure they are in memory to keep speed, you could use a temporary table for that purpose: use a loop to iterate over a block of perhaps 250000 entries and delete using that block as reference.
I know, this sounds complicated, but after all, that's part of what paid versions are supposed make life easier...
2. Re: merge slow on big (but not huge) tableEtore Schiavini Jun 27, 2011 3:01 AM (in response to Alain)Why dont use the simplest way:
delete from borabiec.abiec_animal aa where aa.id in( select td.id from borabiec.todelete td);
3. Re: merge slow on big (but not huge) tableAlain Jun 27, 2011 6:44 AM (in response to Etore Schiavini)Because this would take more time to complete:
at each row he will make a full scan of todelete.
I also tried
delete from borabiec.abiec_animal aa where aa.id in( select td.id from borabiec.todelete td where td.id=aa.id);
but it is slow as well.
(and my experience tells me that exists is faster than a subselect with an IN)

Tradition, abandon meet at Rio Carnival "blocos"
By Stuart Grudgings
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - As the sun sets behind a church in a hillside Rio de Janeiro square, Rodrigo Correa adjusts his nun's habit and mini-skirt before bounding into a throng of revelers following a booming mobile sound system.
It is 6 p.m. and another Carnival "bloco", the neighborhood street parties that are the lifeblood of Rio's annual feast of hedonism, is getting into its stride.
"This is what Carnival is all about -- happiness, costumes, the blocos, without discrimination, full of women," shouted the 53-year-old economist as the Samba band struck up in the historic Santa Teresa district.
"It's the real Carnival of Rio de Janeiro."
For all the millions of dollars and blanket television coverage invested in the grand parades at Rio's Sambadrome, the beating heart of Carnival remains its free-to-enter blocos, where a Samba band and a jury-rigged sound system are enough to sustain a thousands-strong party for hours.
Some of the hundreds of blocos have histories going back almost a century and command a loyalty from Cariocas, as Rio's residents are known, rivaling that reserved for soccer teams and the Samba schools that parade through the Sambadrome.
The blocos have something for everyone. There is a bloco for dogs, for children, for men who like to dress as late Brazilian singer Carmen Miranda wearing hats of plastic fruit, and another where dressing as nuns is encouraged.
The informal blocos have expanded at a dizzying pace in recent years as the larger ones spawn break-off groups seeking their own place in the Carnival sun. Continued...

Jennifer Nettles Shows Off Baby Bump AT CMA Awards, Christmas Special To Air Next Month
If you caught the CMA Award Show last night on ABC, one star looks like she is "ready to pop." Jennifer Nettles is with baby and is due later this month.
The 38-year old singer is also scheduled to tape her CMA Country Christmas special this weekend. However, when the show airs next month, the baby will already have been born.
Nettles of Sugarland, will have a "Santa-like belly to deal with during wardrobe changes when she hosts the show." She tell The Tennessean that as a result, "there will be fewer of them (wardrobe changes) this year.
She still can't believe she's subjecting herself "to the grand eye of television when you already feel as wide as a barn." But she is excited to have her family growing.
Say says that "I think it's going to be a fun Christmas and a really special one as well." She goes on to say that "ur family is growing, and it's such a reason to celebrate."
Also part of the show will be Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Dierks Bentley,CMA Vocal Group of the Year Little Big Town, Martina McBride along with "many other surprises."

For level and flow control, they are generally about 10 to 15 percent. For restoring normal conditions in a distillation column, the margin for reflux control may be even higher at 20 percent. The maximum for the control valve will therefore be 110 to 120 percent of the design, depending on the nature of the corrective action. Most processes are expected to operate at 100 percent of design capacity for the best overall efficiency. However, they may have to be designed for operation at lower than 100 percent also. This lower flow capacity may occur for significant periods of time. Limitations of feed availability or product off take may force the operator to run the process at low loads.
Generally, the turndown condition is defined during design so that all the components of the process are selected accordingly. The turndown condition in this case is to be treated as an alternate operating condition, from a control point of view. A margin below the turndown is required for the same reasons as the margin above the maximum flow. A temporary, high level in a boiler drum may have to be restored to normal by reducing the intake flow of the drum during turndown operation of the process. Therefore, the control valve's minimum flow has to be computed considering about 10 to 20 percent below that needed for a steady state turndown condition of the plant, with the margin depending on the nature of the corrective action needed. The extreme maximum and minimum flows defined above with the margins should be matched to a control valve's usable limits of 90 and 10 percent openings, respectively, to make best use the valve's capabilities while also ensuring that the control valve is not forced to operate outside its recommended opening.
Using the control valve from Equation 1 for the minimum and maximum flow rates, a relationship between the control valve (∆P) at minimum flow and the ∆P at maximum flow can be created. For valves with linear characteristics, the relationship is shown in Equation 3. ΔPminflow/ΔPmaxflow = [(0.90 x Fminflow) / (0.10 x Fmaxflow)] 2 (Equation 3)
System and Control Valve
A common practice in pump systems is to allow a minimum of 10 to 15 psi for the control valve's pressure drop. Using Equation 3 and the control valve pressure drop at maximum flow, the designer can calculate the control valve pressure drop at minimum flow and at normal (100 percent) flow. The system head and the control valve head for minimum and maximum flow are shown in Figure 3. The straight lines are based on a case in which the maximum flow is 115 percent and the control valve head loss is 10 meters of water column (WC). Lines for different minimum flow cases (30 percent L, 35 percent L, 40 percent L, 45 percent L and 50 percent L) are also plotted.
In a pump and control valve system, these lines should always fall on the characteristic curve of a centrifugal pump since the system head plus control valve loss has to equal the pump head. However, some of these lines can be seen to slope downward toward lower flow rates, which is unlike the shape of a centrifugal pump curve, which slopes down toward rising flow conditions. Depending on the shape of the pump curve, only one of these lines will best match the pump curve. In Figure 3, at 45 percent and higher minimum flow, the head requirement is seen to reduce with increased flow. In a second example, the above computations are based on a control valve with 30 meters of WC loss at maximum flow, instead of 10 meters of WC loss considered earlier. Loss at minimum flow is computed following the above steps. These lines (30 percent H, 35 percent H, 40 percent H, 45 percent H and 50 percent H) are also plotted in Figure 3. With these plots, even for the 30-percent turndown case, the head reduces with increased flow. The system head plus control valve head in this case will track the pump curve even to a lower value of minimum flow than was seen with the 10-meter WC head loss control valve.
Pump Characteristics
The impact of the flow turndown requirement on pump duty can be evaluated if the shape of the pump curve is known. A parabolic type pump characteristic curve developed using Equation 4 is considered for further study. Hpump = a + b x flow + c x flow2 (Equation 4) Where: a, b and c are constants For a typical pump, a family of pump curves will exist. The flow versus head relationship depends on the diameter of the impeller and can be calculated using the law of affinity shown in Equation 5. Hpump = (a + b x flow + c x flow2) x n2 (Equation 5) Where: n = the ratio of the impeller diameter, such as n = D2/D1
The curve with minimum n that meets the system plus control valve head, at minimum, normal and maximum flow conditions represents the optimum pump selection. These curves are plotted on Figure 4 showing 25.6 percent, 28.8 percent, 32.9 percent, 38.3 percent, 46.0 percent and 57.5 percent minimum flow cases with 115 percent as the maximum flow in all the cases. This is accomplished by simultaneous solution of the system head (Equation 2), control valve (Equation 3) and pump family of curves (Equation 5) to calculate a diameter ratio, n. The constants used for the pump curve were a = 200, b = -0.05 and c = -0.001.

1- 17.3 Ounce Box Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets
1/3 Cup Sugar
2 ½ Tablespoons Cornstarch
1/8 Teaspoon salt
2 Cups Milk
2 Egg Yolks from Kings organic eggs, beaten with a fork
2 Tablespoons Kings Organic Butter, softened
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
4 Pints Fresh Driscoll Raspberries
Powdered Sugar
2 Ounces Bittersweet Chocolate, in pieces
2 Ounces Heavy Cream
1. For pastry, defrost according to package instructions. Unfold the two pastry sheets in each box and separate each along the folds into three rectangles. Place the rectangles on parchment lined baking sheets and dock with a fork. Top with additional parchment and weight with another baking sheet. Bake until golden according to package. Cool on racks. Trim with a serrated knife to create straight edges.
2. For custard, mix the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan and gradually add the milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and boiling. Stir and boil for one minute. Slowly add some of the mixture into the egg yolks to temper. Stir egg mixture into the remaining hot milk. Boil and stir for one minute. Off the heat, stir in the butter and vanilla. Chill with plastic wrap directly on the surface until cold.
3. Place the chocolate pieces and heavy cream in a bowl set over 1-inch of boiling water. Heat and stir until melted and smooth. Cool to thicken.
4. To assemble, reserve ½ cup fresh raspberries for garnish. On a sheet pan, spread half the custard over two of the sheets of pastry, top with a single layer of raspberries. Place another sheet of pastry over the raspberries and repeat layering of custard and raspberries. Top with remaining sheets of pastry. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set for 10 minutes. Gently slice the layers of each strip with a serrated knife into 5 rectangular pastries. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate and top with reserved raspberries.

The new must-have kitchen gadget this Christmas is the popcorn-making machine.
Retailers including Selfridges and John Lewis have seen a surge in sales of the gadgets, as popcorn enjoys growing popularity as a "healthy" snack.
Endorsement by stars — and the inclusion of popcorn in some weight-loss diets — is boosting sales of the ready-made version. Singer Rihanna said microwave butter popcorn is her favourite food, while Madonna once survived on a popcorn-only diet.
However, experts said the move to popping your own corn at home is thanks to a wider trend for American-themed Christmas products this year and the availability of more interesting flavourings such as bacon, nacho and mince pie.
Selfridges said popcorn makers are its best-selling Christmas gadgets, with sales up 400 per cent on this time last year — occupying the number one, three and five slots on its homeware products list.
John Lewis said in its first year of stocking popcorn makers, sales are increasing week by week.
Chris Gardener, Selfridges cookshop buying manager, said: "There has been an explosion in interest.
"Popcorn has become a fashionable snack, especially with celebrities talking about how much they love it. Rather than using hot oil, a couple of our machines use hot air so they are much healthier.
"We're also seeing a big trend towards an Americana-style Christmas."
He said Oreo cookie-shaped pans, doughnut pans and traditional American cookie cutters are also in strong demand.
Research by Mintel shows UK popcorn sales — apart from that sold in cinemas — rose 10 per cent to £53 million last year.
Best-selling homeware
Linea cast-iron 21cm pan, £35
House of Fraser says it has seen a big surge in cooking and baking gifts this Christmas, thanks to TV shows such as Great British Bake Off and MasterChef.
Retro kettle popcorn maker, £129
The three popcorn makers stocked by Selfridges are among the store's top five bestselling homeware items this month, with the retro version, left, the most expensive model the store has for sale, at number one.
Chantelle bed linen, £22.80 — £58.40
Linen designed by Julien Macdonald is flying off the shelves at Debenhams.
Orla Kiely cake tins, set of five, £35; hammered steel barware range, £25 — £40 John Lewis's top-selling Christmas homeware lines include these baking products and contemporary drinks accessories.

I create a lot of WordPress templates but most of my work is done in Fireworks not Photoshop (http://www.iconzplanet.com/) for example. So I can include an unflattened PNG file but won't have a PSD file to include.
Is this a big deal to people who are looking to buy WordPress themes? Will it greatly decrease my number of sales?
Absolutely! And you can always export your PNG to layered PSD
You know what, you're right. I don't know why I never thought of that before.
You seriously have given me the most useful advice/suggestion that I have received in the last year.

Birth Announcements Etiquette
Transform birth announcement etiquette from brutal to breezy with this simple guide to everything you need to know about sharing news of your newborn with the world.
Baby Birth Announcements by Tiny Prints
Who to Include
We design birth announcements to help you share news of the birth of your child with friends and family in an exciting way. As a result, feel free to send them to anyone you think might want to join in the fun! This includes best friends, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, coworkers, workout buddies, old high school friends, the mailman, your dog walker—in fact, who wouldn't want to celebrate the arrival of your brand new baby?
When to Send Birth Announcements
Send birth announcements as soon after your baby's arrival as possible. The best way to achieve this timeline is with a little early preparation. By selecting a design, writing your verse, addressing envelopes and buying stamps ahead of time, you will be ready to send your announcements as soon as possible. Once the star of the show arrives, just email Tiny Prints your baby's date of birth, weight, height and other important information, and we'll automatically finish your design, print your birth announcements and send them to you right away!
If you prefer to take some time after your baby's birthday before sharing the good news with stationery, six months is the longest you should wait before sending out birth announcements. Click here for a more detailed timeline, or read on to learn more about your baby stationery.
What to Include In Birth Announcements
You don't have to be a poet to write a heartfelt birth announcement verse! Just browse through our sample verses to gather some inspiring ideas. A birth announcement typically includes:
An Introduction:
Include a short passage from a poem or a popular phrase to sweeten up your birth announcement sentiments. Or, try one of the following tried and true opening lines:
We welcome with love...
Our home has grown by two feet...
Tanner has a new baby sister!
The Baby's Name:
Include both the first and middle names of your child, or simply use the baby's full name in its entirety.
The Birth Details:
The standard convention includes only the baby's birth date, weight and length. If you'd like, you can also add the time place of the birth as well.
Family Names:
The parents' names, followed by the names of the baby's siblings, come at the end of the birth announcement. You can also add an adjectival statement like "Proud Parents" in front of your names to describe your personal sentiment.
Common Questions
- Do I need to handwrite a personal message on each announcement?
- Should I include a photograph of my baby with each birth announcement?
- Should I buy stationery, thank you notes and calling cards for my baby?
- How should I present an unusual birth weight?
- What kind of announcement should I use for twins?
- If I kept my maiden name, how should I word my child's birth announcement?
- What if we are announcing an adoption?
- What if grandparents want to send announcements?
Do I need to handwrite a personal message on each announcement?
No. Your friends and family will understand that, as new parents, you are either too busy to sign each card, too tired to think of a lengthy message or, most likely, a combination of both. If you have time, you or a friend or grandparent can add a small message for close relatives like aunts or uncles. But, for friends, you aren't expected to include a handwritten message at all.
Should I include a photograph of my baby with each birth announcement?
There is no right answer for this one. Some parents choose to include a photo of their newborn, while others choose to wait to send photos until their baby is a little older. Both practices are widely accepted, so just do what feels most comfortable to you.
Should I buy stationery, thank you notes and calling cards for my baby?
Yes! Personalized stationery for newborns is a charming way to show appreciation for the gifts and kind wishes that are sure to be headed their way. Plus, you can include your baby's calling card in gifts to other newborns to start setting up a social circle for play dates and parties. This branch of baby stationery is quickly becoming popular practice among new parents looking to connect with other families in a delightful way.
How should I present an unusual birth weight?
If you have reservations about including your newborn's birth weight or height, feel free to omit them from your birth announcements altogether.
What kind of announcement should I use for twins?
Twins simply present the opportunity to have twice as much fun with your birth announcements! One option is to put one newborn's name on one side of the announcement and the other newborn's name on the reverse so it will be clear that they are two different people. Another is to check out Tiny Prints selection of birth announcements designed specifically with twins in mind. They're twice as nice for announcing multiple births!
If I kept my maiden name, how should I word my child's birth announcement?
Always include the full names of both parents on birth announcements regardless of whether your last names match or not. Additionally, there is no need to indicate whether you are married or not since those close to you most likely already know this information.
Michael West and Sarah Connolly
What if we are announcing an adoption?
Send adoption announcements to let your loved ones know that your family is growing! Include your adopted child's birth date as you would on a birth announcement, even if it is two or three years prior. If the adoption was international, you can also include your adopted child's native country. These announcements are a great way to celebrate this milestone in both your lives!
What if grandparents want to send announcements?
If grandparents want to send announcements to friends who may not recognize the names of the newborn's parents, include the grandparents' names after the parents' names in the family names section of the birth announcement.

I washed and dried my hair before I went to the stylist's so that she could see the shape of my curl. I declined a shampoo, so she proceeded to wet down one side of my head with a spray bottle! I didn't even know that was an option. I stopped her halfway and she cut my hair unevenly. When it dried, each side of my head curled differently because they were different weights. I ended up calling the salon and getting it redone by one of the head stylists for free and I loved the way she fixed it. I now know to walk out of the chair if they even pick up the spray bottle.

New One on song for Aintree
Monday 17 March 2014
The New One remains firmly on target for a second tilt at the Doom Bar Aintree Hurdle following his luckless run at the Cheltenham Festival.
Nigel Twiston-Davies' stable star was stopped in his tracks by the fall of the ill-fated Our Conor in last Tuesday's Champion Hurdle, but rallied tremendously well in the hands of the trainer's son, Sam, to finish third.
The six-year-old was narrowly beaten by Zarkandar as a novice in last year's Aintree Hurdle and with Champion Hurdle one-two Jezki and My Tent Or Yours unlikely to head for Merseyside, The New One is set to be a hot favourite on April 3.
Twiston-Davies said: "The New One is 100 per cent, no problems at all. Hopefully he'll go to Aintree, that's the idea. I'm not sure what else will be running (in the Aintree Hurdle). We'll just have to wait and see."
Double Ross put in a superb effort to finish a close third in the JLT Novices' Chase and will also be part of the Aintree team.
As will Same Difference, who is bound for the Crabbie's Grand National after finishing fifth in the defence of his title in the Kim Muir.
"He (Double Ross) was very good and he'll be going to Aintree as well, all being well, but I'm not sure which race he'll run in," said the Naunton-based trainer.
"Same Difference ran all right and we're very much looking forward to the National with him."

Families are saving at the weakest rate in almost half a century as the credit crunch squeezes into their incomes, official figures have shown.
The saving ratio, which measures how much households are putting away for the future, more than halved in the first three months of the year to 1.1pc - the lowest level since 1959. Experts warned that this illustrated how families are being forced to dip deep into their savings in order to keep their finances afloat.
The figures, from the Office for National Statistics, will cause major concern within the City and Whitehall: a sharp fall in the savings ratio is usually a sign that the economy is about to suffer a serious slowdown.
Experts at Capital Economics said there is now a "very real chance of a technical recession."
In a further sign that households are facing a major squeeze from higher mortgage costs, the rising cost of living and slow wage growth, the ONS said real disposable incomes - the broadest measure of families' standard of living - fell by 1pc in the first quarter of the year.
It is the sharpest fall in nine years. Economists warned that it could fall even faster in the coming months.
Jonathan Loynes of Capital Economics said: "The fall in the household saving ratio from 3pc to just 1.1pc emphasises the threat to consumer spending as households tighten their belts in response to falling house prices. We still think that the [Bank of England] is far too sanguine on this."
In a further blow to Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling, the ONS also revised down its estimate of the economy's overall growth in the first quarter from 0.4pc to just 0.3pc - the weakest performance since the first quarter of 2005 and only half the growth rate achieved in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Mr Darling has faced broad criticism for the growth forecasts he published in the Budget, which have been lambasted as over-optimistic by economists.

Pitt vs. Mount St. Mary's, Nov. 26, 2013
Lindsay Richards begins her fourth season on the Pitt staff and her seventh in the city of Pittsburgh. Richards joined Panthers' head coach Suzie McConnell-Serio in making the cross-town move to Pitt from Duquesne.
In her three seasons at Pitt, Richards has helped turn a program that went winless in its final two years in the Big East into an ACC contender and NCAA Tournament qualifier. Following an 11-20 record in her first season with the program, the Panthers finished 20-12 and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2014-15.
The Upper St. Clair, Pa., native is a 2006 graduate of the University of Iowa with a double degree in psychology and communications. Richards played parts of two years for the Lady Hawkeyes before injuries ended her career prior to the 2005 season. As a sophomore, she started all 29 games at point guard and was a member of the 2004 Big Ten All-Academic team. Richards competed on the Big Ten Foreign All-Stars Team the summer of 2004 in Australia.
She arrived at Duquesne and McConnell-Serio's staff in 2010. Prior to working in collegiate athletics, Richards worked for Weber Shandwick as a senior account executive in its Chicago-based office for three years.

With a big crowd on hand for the Third Annual Pink Out Game to raise money for Breast Cancer awareness, the first 50 minutes of the main event – the Lee's Summit North and Lee's Summit West girls soccer teams squaring off – lacked drama.
But the final 30 minutes more than made up for it.
The Broncos sandwiched a pair of goals around a Titan goal – all of this happening in a 13-minute span – to walk away with a 2-1 victory April 21 at the Broncos Athletic Complex.
"We were both feeling each other out a little bit," Broncos head coach Ryan Kelley said of the first half. "I thought we were a little timid. It was a different game and a different atmosphere. But we got that goal from Hannah (Bomar) and that was huge."
Bomar started the flurry of action when she rifled a ball into the upper left corner of the goal almost 55 minutes into the game for a 1-0 Bronco lead, but the Titans didn't waste any time in responding when a Bronco foul gave Maddi Cipolla a free kick at the top of the box less than two minutes later.
She didn't waste her opportunity, as the ball ricocheted off the top crossbar and just past the goal line for a 1-all tie.
"We've been struggling with finishing," Titans head coach Todd Krey said. "It would have been easy to fold after they scored, especially when we were controlling the game a little bit. I'm proud of the way the girls responded."
But the final response came from North, when Addie Merrick lofted a free kick toward the goal. A header got past diving Titan goalkeeper Savannah McCoun, only to see it hit the left post, but Madison Chapman was there to put it in the back of the net for the game-winner.
"She put in a good ball," Kelley said of Merrick. "We were unlucky but the girls were crashing in. We haven't always done that, but Chapman was there to put it away."
Added Chapman, "I was racing with two other girls and the goalkeeper was coming out. I had to stay focused. … You always have to be there. Anything can happen that close to the goal."
Krey knows that all too well.
"We've got to go up and get that ball," he said.
Both teams came out more aggressive in the second half after the feeling out process in the first half, and it showed as the game became much more physical.
"We talked at the half about how a lot of our possession in the first half was side-to-side," Kelley said. "We wanted to get forward and run at them. We needed to be more aggressive."
While Krey was also glad to see his team pick up the physicality, something they've had trouble doing at times this year, he also felt like they continued to make positive steps in their shot-taking.
The Titans are trying to find a way to make up for the scoring they lost when standout Jaycie Johnson graduated.
"At this point we have no true finisher," Krey said. "It's a learning process. We showed a little bit more today. The girls are mentally seeing it and stepping up to take those shots."
The Titans fell to 3-7 on the season, while North – the No. 6 team in the state in the latest poll – improved to 7-4-2, despite losing eight players from last year's team.
"We have really grown as a team," Chapman said. "We're very team-minded. We have the mindset of 'I work for you, you work for me.' We work as one."
On the subject of working as one, the fundraiser was once again a smashing success, as both schools came together to put on another successful event.
"It's a great atmosphere," Krey said of the game. "The parents work on this thing almost year-round. They had about $17,000 to $18,000 raised last I heard. It's unbelievable that two schools are able to do something like this."

A development fund launched today aims to boost the number of houses being built in London and the South-East.
Residential development lender Pluto Finance has set up a £250 million business to lend to property developers with schemes in and around the capital.
Experts suggest there is a shortage of finance for small residential developers, and Pluto hopes to tap into this demand.
The new vehicle will provide developers with loans of up to 90% of the cost of the development. The loan will be between £10 million and £30 million, and Pluto aims to lend £250 million over five years. It has secured £100 million from institutional investors and funds.
The first loan, of £12.1 million, has been made for a 36-home scheme next to the Thameslink station in West Hampstead. Construction will start in August, with completion expected in November 2014.
Chris Philp, chief executive of Pluto Finance, the residential development finance arm of Pluto Capital, said: "Developers continue to find it difficult to source adequate funding for their schemes.
"We are helping to fill the gap left by the large number of banks that have withdrawn from the residential property development finance market in the last five years."

The Golden Gophers put up seven quick points to start the game, but Maryland's defense soon began to settle in. Lead by Diandra Tchatchouang's eight points, the Terrapins outscored Minnesota 31-15 in the final 16 minutes of the half, giving them a nine-point halftime lead.
Five different players had steals for the Terps, and their defense held the Golden Gophers to just 23% shooting in the first half.
We were probably more physical with them than any team they've played so far, said sophomore guard Kim Rodgers, I don't think they were ready for it.
The Terps remained very strong defensively in the second half, as the Golden Gophers did not reach double-digit second half points until there were just over six minutes left in the game. Minnesota was outscored 24-11 in that stretch.
In the end, the Terrapins outscored the Golden Gophers by 12 in the second half, leading them to a 66-45 victory.
We had fun tonight, said Frese, I'm most pleased about the level of toughness we showed against a really good Minnesota team. It was a very physical game, and a game where I thought we did a tremendous job. I'm most proud of our defense to be able to hold a team that's been scoring in the 70s to 45 points.
Rogers lead Maryland with 14 points and eight rebounds. Tchatchouang and Lynetta Kizer were also in double figures for the Terps, with 13 and 10 points, respectively. Lori Bjork lead the team with four assists.
For Minnesota, only Jackie Voigt scored in double figures with 10 points. Ashley Ellis-Milan added eight points and eight rebounds, and Brittany McCoy lead the team with four assists.
While Maryland's offense struggled at times, their defense kept them in the game. Minnesota only shot 27% for the game, and were just 3-10 from beyond the arc. Maryland also beat them handily in defensive rebounds, out-rebounding them 32-23 defensively.
This win was the Terrapins' 43rd consecutive win in the Comcast Center, bringing their record to 7-1 on the season. Maryland's next game will be at home against Loyola of Maryland Sunday, December 6 at 2:00.

WRC adds bonus points for TV stages
By Matt Beer Wednesday, September 8th 2010, 12:57 GMT
Each round of the 2011 World Rally Championship will offer bonus points for the three fastest drivers on a single televised stage, the FIA has announced.
In a new measure agreed at today's World Motor Sport Council meeting, the top three on the selected stage with receive three, two and one additional points respectively.
"Commencing 2011 each World Rally Championship (WRC) event must include one special stage on the final day for the purpose of enhancing television coverage," said an FIA statement.
"The fastest drivers and co-drivers will be awarded additional points (3-2-1) in accordance with the general classification of this stage."
A similar system was previously tried in 1999, when several rallies awarded bonus points for a live TV stage.
In other WRC changes agreed by the WMSC, next year cars will take to stages just one minute apart rather than the two or three minute gaps currently used for the WRC field, and top teams will only be allowed to use two engines per car from round five of the 2011 championship onwards.
The FIA has also announced the creation of a two-wheel-drive category with the Production class, that it will look into adding GT cars to WRC events, and that a new young driver academy programme will be created.

I worked right through the holidays, and only got a break last week. So Lina and I went camping and hiking for four days in the Rio Claro Nature Reserve, a stunning river & rain-forest national park about 4 hours East of Medellin (Colombia) by $7 USD bus-ride and @ $5 USD per person/night camping. The altimeter on my fancy expedition wrist-watch showed Rio Claro at about 350 meters (1150 feet) above sea level. Medellin where we live is at 1500 meters (close to 5000 feet).
While mostly we hiked the trails along the river and went pond-hopping beyond the trails through thick-forest and waded upstream through desolate feeding-brooks and chilled in the warm tropical water and soaked in the sun and just lushly napped on a hammock under any trees we liked, we set aside a few hours to shoot new pics for Symbiosis, my ongoing fine art series about the broken relationship between human beings and the earth, which is a work-in-progress.
And here are samples. All shot in natural light.
The ongoing series can be previewed on my website marcoaurelio.co (or click on pics), then click on MEDITATIONS ON BEING and then on SYMBIOSIS.
We Also set aside a few hours to shoot new pics of Lina for her nascent portfolio. Rio Claro has this stunning color stones in its bed that lent a lush feel to the pic below, shot in natural light.

Annual duck race goes on as planned
COEBURN, Va. - There are some Labor Day celebrations that can be held rain or shine, and we found one.
It's an annual rubber duck race at the Guest River Rally in Coeburn, Virginia.
It's a fun way for the town's volunteer fire department to raise money.
The crowd is a little sparse for the final day of the Guest River Rally celebration in downtown Coeburn. It includes a fair, food and face painting for the kids and lots of locals raising funds for their cause.
One of the more popular was the volunteer fire department selling entries in their annual duck race, now in its 17th year.
"It started off we sold 480 ducks our first year, I believe. We gave away 250 dollars as first place and I think 100 dollars second place," Brian Rose with the department said.
It's a bit of a gamble but for all who bought an entry it was all about local support.
"Anything to support our local fire department, local businesses, support our kids. We have a booth set up for the kids," said duck racer Robin Chevault.
"It goes to a good cause. And a good chance to win a prize," added duck racer Kari Stapleton.
This year that first place prize is $1,000. But the ducks won't be racing in a usual place; the creek that runs along main street is low and kind of overgrown.
"So we had to improvise and come up with something better and the only thing we had here was the fountain. So, we put a pump in the fountain. We circle them around and we have a little child draw out the prizes, draw out the ducks," Rose said.
As they approach post time, there will be nearly 700 entries this year. Finally the call to the gate by a clown and a duck call.
The track may be small but the competition is intense as the ducks bob around the town fountain. It takes a few times using an improvised fishing pole with a net to draw out this year's first place winner.
But the real winner here is the local volunteer fire department.
