I Need A Re-Do
I broke the news to John.
The news no husband with any type of handyman skills ever wants to hear.
It went better than I thought it would, but I did have to beg. A lot. And promise to do as much work as I can by myself.
I want to re-do a room we already re-did.
Yes, the perfectly fine guest bathroom (and by extension, guest bedroom) we just "finished" a little over a year ago. Before you pass judgement, let me explain.
In June of 2014, we were doing some spring cleaning. John went around to the front of the house decided to spray out some of the overgrown flower beds. We have a spigot right in the front of the house (on the outside wall of the guest bathroom) that was more convenient for him to use than running a hose from the garage. John noticed the spigot was covered in duct tape, but he assumed it was taped like that in an attempt to winterize it. The previous home-owners hadn't mentioned anything about it, so he just took the tape off and plugged the hose in. About 20 minutes later, I started hearing some weird noises coming from the guest bathroom. At this point I decided to investigate and, to my horror, I found that water was COMING THROUGH THE WALL in the guest bathroom and had completely flooded the bathroom/bedroom. Not trickling, I mean full on gushing through the wall as if the hose was aimed directly into the room. Here are some pictures. Sorry for the poor quality, this was very far pre-blog and I had the worst phone ever at the time.
The damage was pretty bad. The carpet was completely soaked through and there was no way we would have ever been able to dry it out fast enough before it started getting moldy. We immediately ripped it up. Not only that, but we had to have a plumber come out and replace the broken pipe that caused the damage. At some point, a hose was left on the spigot during the winter (never, ever leave your hoses attached in the winter!) which caused the interior pipe to freeze and crack. Instead of replacing it, the previous home-owners just taped off the spigot and never used it again.
That would have been awesome to know.
So now we had ruined carpet, holes all over the place from fixing the pipe and damaged drywall from the water. We opted at that point (grudgingly) to make the guest bedroom/bathroom our first room re-do. Even though it was outdated, it had been perfectly livable and there were only 8 million other things we could have spent our time and money on. Welcome to home ownership am I right?
After addressing the flood and fixing drywall, we painted the walls in the guest bedroom Benjamin Moore Harbor Grey, added a ceiling fan (seriously, how do people live with no overhead lighting?), DIYed the nightstands from IKEA Rasts, and laid new laminate wood-look flooring.
In retrospect, we should have just gone with carpet (this room echos a lot, but I should probably buy an area rug anyway), but the laminate was only $100 to do the whole room and this was a few months after we had spent our entire life savings buying the house and a few months before our wedding. I can always go back and add carpet that matches the living room when we get around to that. The flooring does look awesome, and in a room that gets minimal use (we don't have guests over that often) it serves its current purpose.
In the bathroom, I stripped the wallpaper, painted the dark floor grout white, and paint bombed the entire thing Benjamin Moore Palladian. Overall, the space made a huge improvement.
Palldian is quite possibly one of my favorite Benjamin Moore colors of all time. My very dear friend Kate used it in her nursery and it's absolutely gorgeous against white trim and in a room with natural lighting. However, this window-less 5×6 bathroom just wasn't the place for it. The overall effect is a little… sad. Every time I open the door I'm overwhelmed with a feeling of WOMP WOOOMP. It definitely did not come out bad, it just did not come out amazing. I need amazing.
You can see below how much darker and more over-bearing it reads in our bathroom versus in Kate's nursery. Granted, we definitely need to add better lighting in this room, however I think the lack of natural light just kills the gorgeous blue undertones of Palladian. It reads 'sad greyish mint' in our bathroom. And this folks, is why you test paint colors. Side note: Aren't her pups Penny and Vada the cutest?
Here's another picture of Palladian in Kate's nursery room. The lighting is different, but I think you can definitely see how differently it reads.
Surprisingly, when I told John about my plans, his first reaction was, "I never liked that green paint anyway". Well… it wasn't supposed to be green, but PHEW!
Another problem, since the toilet is almond, I opted to paint the baseboard heaters almond and use almond caulk along the almond-flecked vanity. Yup, there's a lot of almond going on in here. The vanity is so far from the wall that I had to do the caulk extremely chunky and I've never been happy with it.
As it was our first renovation, we definitely made a few mistakes, such as not using spackle in the corners before painting. It was also the first room we used our paint sprayer on, and we learned the importance of vacuuming construction dust before using a sprayer.
I can't be the first person ever in the history of DIY to go back after becoming a little more "seasoned" and think…. what was I thinking?
These rooms have sat like this for a while. In my heart I was so unhappy with the bathroom and by extension, the bedroom, that there was no point in investing any more energy into them until I could admit it was time to re-do.
So, in an effort to both motivate myself and contain projects to one area at a time, I've decided I will not start any new renovation projects in 2016 (I'm coming for you Laundry Room) until the guest bedroom and bathroom are absolutely, 100% cooked, done, not touching anything else ever again, finished. However, I am going to allow myself to continue with finishing touches on the kitchen- my range hood finally came in!
In the guest bedroom, I just want to finish it up. There are so many loose ends! I want to change out and paint the closet bi-fold doors, beef up the bedding, change the window treatment, frame the AC unit in trim, frame the window and buy an area rug.
In the guest bathroom, I want to go in a completely different direction. Something a little out of my comfort zone… we are also going to do it the way we should have done it the first time and replace the almond vanity top and toilet with white ones.
Stay tuned! I'm working on a mood board for the bathroom. Maybe if I actually have a plan things will go a little better this time ;) Maybe…

Determining if you or someone you know has a substance abuse problem can often be difficult. Often if use of alcohol or other drugs, whether legal or illegal, causes problems in your life, it is felt to be a problem. There are several screening tools that can be used to determine if a problem is present.
There are varying degrees of substance abuse problems:
Misuse - The intentional use of a substance to reach intoxication.
Abuse - Use of a substance that leads to family, occupational, social and even legal problems.
Dependence - Use of a substance to the point where a tolerance is developed, some withdrawal symptoms may be present upon abstinence, and where there is unpredictability over the ability to control/moderate use.
Bingeing - A sporadic use of a substance to excess.

Report: Brady finally passes Gisele
New England quarterback Tom Brady, the NFL's highest-paid player, will for the first time earn more in a year than his wife Gisele Bundchen, the world's highest-paid supermodel, NBC Sports reported Friday.
According to Forbes, Bundchen has raked in $25 million over the past year.
Brady, meanwhile, is set to make $26.5 million courtesy of a $16 million signing bonus, $7 million base salary and $3 million roster bonus, the report said.
Forbes lists Bundchen as the 16th-richest woman in the entertainment world with an estimated $150 million fortune, and until signing his record deal on the eve of the new NFL season, Brady had not come close to matching the earnings of the Brazilian beauty.
Brady, a two-time Super Bowl MVP, married Bundchen in 2009 and they have one son together.

It's another case of…we can't make this stuff up!
First there were people using skeletons and cardboard cutouts in the passenger seat to get through the HOV lane without getting a ticket. Now we have to deal with a fake driverless vehicle!
Apparently, the city of Arlington, Virgina has been freaked out for the last couple of weeks due to driverless minivan spotted around town. However, the van isn't actually driverless. It's actually a person, dressed up like the seat of the car.
Perhaps the best part of this story is that news reporter Adam Tuss, broke the story wide open when he found the van in question.
Tuss went on to try and question the man, but sadly he didn't answer.
Yep, that's definitely a dude wearing a car seat costume! But why???

A business owner in Branford, Connecticut, says that a former employee stole some $248,000 worth of his products. To be specific, the man has been charged with stealing wine from the distribution company where he was employed. Murphy Distributors sells craft beers and artisan spirits as well as wine.
Why a 'risk of injury to a minor' charge must be taken seriously
In Connecticut, people can be charged with a felony crime known as "risk of injury to a minor," either as a standalone crime or in connection with other charges. Connecticut law enforcement officers and prosecutors take any type of alleged child abuse seriously. Therefore, if you are facing this particular charge, regardless of the circumstances, you need to take it seriously.
Helping those charged with prescription drug offenses
Most people associate drug crimes with drugs like heroin, cocaine or even marijuana. However, the possession or sale of prescription drugs can land Connecticut residents behind bars as well.
What is the insanity defense?
Despite what some would think, the insanity defense is very complicated and notoriously difficult to prove. A history of mental illness or a mental health diagnosis is not necessarily enough to be found not guilty by reason of insanity. To be acquitted of criminal charges on the basis of insanity, it's up to the defense to prove that the defendants did not know what they were doing or were unable to control their impulses.

Yarimir Cabán (Mima) bravely embraces change as one of the defining features of her music, constantly exploring and reinterpreting her craft. A vanguard artist and pillar in the Puerto Rican alt-music scene, Mima represents both the struggle and viability of the independent musician in Puerto Rico. Over the past years since the release of her first album she has sold out concerts both in and out of Puerto Rico, often producing every aspect of the event, from the look and feel of the promotional material to the intricacies of each musical arrangement.
Mima's self-titled 2005 premier has crept into quite a few iTunes libraries since its release. Looking back now, it's no suprise that her first record has reached so many ears. Her sound has a familiar quality, like something that's been with you for years, but with a delivery so rare and honest that you know you've never heard anything like it before.
A lot has happened since that first musical groundbreaking. Experimenting with new sounds and textures both live and in the studio, Mima offers forth a powerful new record, a poetic synthesis of Caribbean rhythms, Afroamerican soul, and southern psychedelia. Skillfully weaving the romanticism of traditional folk and Neo-Caribbean sounds with a DIY approach, Mima offers up a dark and powerful work, one that takes the listener on a constantly changing journey, sometimes soothing, at others shockingly irreverent, as it navigates a new kind of Caribbean landscape. Recorded in a bedroom in a small coastal town near San Juan, and mixed in Texas by Stuart Sikes (Whites Stripes/Cat Power/Loretta Lynn), El Pozo is a supersonic road trip, timelessly rooted in Latin American tradition, combining magical storytelling with expert musicianship to create a shockingly expressive musical narrative.

VERY GOOD 2 CD release of Soundgarden material.
Grunge music is a bit overly dark/heavy (and noisy) for my particular soul/jazz/dance favorite styles, but I have to give credit to the excellent singing/playing by this Seattle supergroup - glad I gave it a listen!

I have a house, vintage 1952 that has a 1/2" municipal water service from the street.
All the plumbing is copper and in good shape.
If someone is showering and the toilet flushes than the pressure drops everywhere.
I have been researching ways to increase the pressure without increasing the service line, and was wondering if any one had any experiance with booster pumps.
Any advice would be greatly accepted.

With apologies to JC Sherritt …but what an unbelievable weekend it was for offence.
Every quarterback was throwing for 325+ yards and multiple touchdowns, a whole host of running backs were racking up tons of yardage while Chris Williams just might be the scariest player in the league.
|Lewis Flexing his Muscle
Through four games this season, Nik Lewis has averaged 90.4 yards per game, and a league-best 6 TD receptions.
There are so many developments in the land of the Wide Receiver. 22-year-old Chris Matthew is leading in yardage, Andy Fantuz is getting a ton of press as the big name free agent, Geroy Simon just broke Milt Stegall's record and everyone loves watching the 2,398 ways Weston Dressler picks apart a zone. (By the way that wasn't code for Dressler is slow. The guy can fly.)
With so much attention going around to so many athletes I'd like to give some love to the most reliable of all the receivers in the league, Nik Lewis.
Vicki Hall wrote a nice piece on Nik so please allow me to piggy back on her column.
Watching Calgary during the Burris days it would usually be Romby Bryant or Ken-Yon Rambo who made the highlight play, they, along with Joffrey Reynolds would be the ones that would so often catch your eye.
But if you dug a little deeper it was Lewis who was the real lynch pin behind the offence. He may not have blazed past the secondary en route to a 30-yard touchdown, but I bet he converted two 2nd-and-8's on the said scoring drive.
Let's face it, the speed guys are far more fun to watch and you'll see them on the highlight reels with greater frequency, but they're not always the most reliable. The key for Lewis is he never really had that blazing speed to begin with.
Now don't get me wrong, being blessed with a 4.3 40-yard dash is mighty handy, but that raw athleticism can often be a crutch for many a young wide out, or an excuse for not running crisp routes.
Also the speed guys usually don't have the same longevity, because once that 4.3 turns into a 4.7 the next step is the inevitable loss of employment. Here's the best way to put it, having world class speed is like being the really hot guy as a freshman in high school. When it comes to meeting (I'm using "meeting" to mean a whole hosting of verbs, just use your imagination) girls the hot guy really doesn't need to work as hard.
The great looking guy can easily get by without developing a real sense of humour or any of the other tricks 17-year-olds use to woo women that are way beyond their league.
But when you're 15 and you look in the mirror and realize you have been given average looks (on a good day) well, you have to work on every aspect of your "game" if you would like to "meet" women.
While this stinks in high school in can pay dividends down the road when the hot guy has developed a gut and doesn't know how to talk to women while the rest of us have at least developed some modicum of skills.
I hope you are catching the drift of what I am saying, and yes that past paragraph was more than a little semi-autobiographical.
Well that same convoluted analogy can be used to explain much of the success of Lewis.
Lewis has always been about reading defences, running the right routes, breaking tackles and of course the occasional push off. This is not to say he doesn't have speed, he has enough, it's just that you wouldn't want to put money on Lewis in a 100-yard dash against any of the top wide outs in this league. But if you put the 10 best receivers on a basketball court, I guarantee you Lewis will come down with the most rebounds. He's the Charles Barkley of the CFL, using every conceivable angle and his relentless physicality to beat defensive backs and linebackers play after play.
On top of that the guy is durable. He broke in with the team in 2004 and immediately led Calgary in every important statistical category for a receiver while winning CFL Rookie of the Year.
Since then, do you ever remember a season where Lewis missed significant time?
Of course, cheering for Lewis is more than just his ability to beat a double team. It's his thoughtful blogs, his charity work and about 17 different nicknames, most of which I have no idea what they mean. He's got his own twitter group (@NikLewisNation), his own lounge (Lew Lew) and is one of the funniest athletes you will ever meet.
Thankfully we have the glory of video to help punch home just what kind of a player Lewis is. He's the guy that will sacrifice his body for his teammates while destroying the body of an opponent.
He's more of hurdler than a sprinter and when the game is on the line he will always find a way to get open despite the fact that everyone on the sidelines and in the stands knows that #82 is going to be the first option.
Forget about the damage he inflicts on linebackers, what about the CFL career receiving mark? Nik is only 30 years of age; just imagine if the slowest WR on the field ends up passing Geroy Simon somewhere down the road?

Vancouver, British Columbia-based Alterra Power Corp. has inked several project contracts at Flat Top, a 200 MW wind development project in central Texas.
Contracts executed within the last week include as follows:
- A turbine supply agreement with Vestas to supply 100 V110-2.0 MW wind turbines;
- A 10-year service and maintenance agreement with Vestas, which provides similar services at Alterra's Dokie wind farm; and
- A construction services agreement with Blattner Energy Inc., a contractor that built the nearby Logan's Gap wind farm.
Alterra is also currently negotiating a power hedge as Flat Top's primary revenue contract.
"The execution of these contracts positions us well to finance Flat Top and enter the primary construction phase later this year," comments Paul Rapp, Alterra's vice president of wind. "We look forward to working with Vestas and Blattner as strong partners to ensure the project comes online successfully in the first half of 2018."

Ice collapse 'could raise sea levels 20 feet'
Global warming could lead to sea level rises of more than 20 feet -- far higher than current estimates, and enough to swamp densely populated coastlines of north America and Europe, say scientists.
A team of experts has calculated that if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapses -- as many expect it to -- the outcome will be worse than has been forecast.
The sea level in the wake of the collapse is already projected to rise between 16 and 17 feet. The new research suggests the true figure could be almost 21 feet in the North Atlantic.
If this was to happen, many coastal areas in both north America and Europe would be devastated, and much of southern Florida would disappear.
Professor Peter Clark, one of the scientists, from Oregon State University in Corvallis, US, said: "We aren't suggesting that a collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is imminent, but these findings do suggest that if you are planning for sea level rise, you had better plan a little higher."
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that losing the ice sheet would raise sea levels by 16.5 feet. But the scientists argue that the official forecast does not take account of several key factors, such as gravity or changes in the Earth's rotation.
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet towers more than 6,000 feet above sea level over a large section of Antarctica and has enough mass to exert substantial gravitational attraction, say the researchers.
They argue that water is pulled towards the ice sheet in the same way the tides are influenced by the Sun and moon. When the ice sheet goes, so will its grip on the oceans, allowing more water to move.
The study, reported in the journal Science, also suggests that when the ice is removed the land beneath it will "bounce up".
At the same time, the Earth's axis of rotation would shift by about a third of a mile.
All these forces would cause sea level around the vicinity of Antarctica to fall, it is claimed. Correspondingly, sea level in many other areas -- mostly in the northern hemisphere -- would go up.

No, it was not Lt. Pike. A woman desperate to get her hands on some cheap Chinese electronics in a California Walmart (where else) blasted fellow alleged humanoids in the annual consumer stampede that makes America so.... exceptional. According to police, 20 people were injured, and the unidentified woman was still at large. From the LA Times:
Alejandra Seminario, 24, said she was waiting in line to grab some toys at the store around 9:55 p.m. when people the next aisle over started shouting and ripping at the plastic wrap encasing gaming consoles, which was supposed to be opened at 10 p.m.Although "part of the store" was evacuated, the store itself remained open for business.
"People started screaming, pulling and pushing each other, and then the whole area filled up with pepper spray," the Sylmar resident said. "I guess what triggered it was people started pulling the plastic off the pallets and then shoving and bombarding the display of games. It started with people pushing and screaming because they were getting shoved onto the boxes."
Meanwhile, the New York Times reported that 9,000 shoppers were lined up in front of the Macy's flagship store on Herald Square overnight in hopes of snagging a bargain.... or because they get a rush in a crush... or just to be able, someday, to tell the grandkids that they were there.

"Every winter, districts in Kabul held a kite-fighting tournament"
by capewriter
Kite-fighting is a popular sport in a number of Asian countries, including China, Korea, India and Thailand. In Afghanistan, it is known as Gudiparan Bazi. Competitors attempt to snag each other's kites and cut their strings. To this end, kite strings are smeared with a mixture of glue and ground glass. Kite flyers may bind their fingers to protect them against the abrasive strings.
Under Taliban rule, kite-fighting was banned in Afghanistan.

Doctors Say The Dumbest Things!Written by Wellness Club on June 24, 2014 – 3:11 pm -
By Nurse Mark
Sometimes it's hard to believe that medical doctors actually had to go to school for all those years and then pass big exams in order to get a license to practice medicine. Maybe they get credit for nap-time –what else can explain it when it looks like they slept through some of their most basic classes?
Here's an example that we see over and over again – that makes it look like classes in basic nutrition must be optional in some medical schools…
Cathy wrote recently to ask:
Question for you. My doc is telling me now that taking vitamins have no health effect since they don't contains lignens. Also recent reports have shown krill oil is worthless. Would like your comments on this.
Wow – there is so much wrong with this doctor's statement that Dr. Myatt and I just looked at each other in amazement when we read it. My first thoughts were "where would a doctor get such silly notions?", but Dr. Myatt had a more rational explanation – "this doc probably attended a weekend conference and was pitched on the wonders of lignans by some slick sales rep…" and so now any product that doesn't shout about containing lignans for health benefits must surely be of no value.
Never mind that Big Pharma profit-darlings like statins for cholesterol and z-drugs for sleep and acid blockers for GERD don't contain lignans – they're drugs after all, so that's a whole different thing… they must be good!
I was tempted to send out a snappy, smarty-pants answer to this doctors silly statement – but Cathy deserves better than that
Here is what we did write for her:
Hi Cathy,
I think your doctor might do well to review his biochemistry and nutrition textbooks. This sounds like a new spin on the old "Vitamins are useless – you'll just pee 'em out and have expensive urine!" line that is still used by a lot of doctors. Lignans are a very important and valuable form of fiber. Vitamins are, well, vitamins – not fiber. Your doctors statement makes no sense.
Here is one of many articles we have written about the worth of vitamins: Do Vitamins Really Make Any Difference?
And here is an excerpt from another article we wrote, discussing lignans.
Lignans are a special type of fiber found in certain plants including flaxseed, pumpkin, sunflower and poppy seeds, whole grains (rye, oats, barley), fruits (especially berries) and vegetables. Flax seed is one of the highest sources of lignans.
Lignans inhibits estrogen production, blocks estrogen receptors in a manner similar to tamoxifen, increases 2-OH estrone (considered a "good" kind of estrogen because it does not stimulate the growth of breast cancer), and lowers the risk of metastasis.(1,2)
An easy way to get high lignans in the diet is to consume ground flax seeds (flax seed meal). Try Dr. Myatt's Bread recipe or Dr. Myatt's Blueberry muffins for a quick, delicious way to get a big dose of nutrients, including flax seed meal, into your diet.
Regarding Krill Oil: Krill Oil is far from "worthless"! While in many cases "Krill Oil" is hyped or marketed as being somehow better or more pure or "more powerful" and it's true, krill oil may contain more of an important antioxidant called astaxanthin than other marine oils, these numbers are often inflated for marketing purposes. The magic in marine oils is the Omega 3 fatty acid content. Eskimo oil, Arctic oil, krill oil, etc.: Can you say "fish oil"? Be sure to get the good stuff – molecularly (cold process) distilled and free of heavy metal contamination… Try Dr. Myatt's Maxi Marine for a good product at a good value. Omega 3 fatty acids, as found in marine (fish) oils, are called essential fatty acids – meaning that we must consume them in order to stay healthy and even alive since our bodies cannot make them. Looking at the labels of marine oils can be confusing – because it is the amount of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) that is important – not just the mg amount of "lipid concentrate" or "marine oils" or whatever other way they call them. For example, Maxi Marine contains Marine Lipid Concentrate of 1000 mg, which contains EPA 420mg and DHA 280mg.
Hope this helps!

It's no secret that flowers have a positive influence. Still life paintings of flowers can really bring, funnily enough, a space a-live. Art is always important to personalise your rooms. This month, a worth-to-visit Dutch auction will be hosted, including still life floral paintings!
About Fischer
This month will be the third auction since the Fischer's house started (one year ago). Kas Buunk is introducing the auction, the next will take place in The Hague on 20 September.
The Method
Each auction works with a different concept. Fischer's method is based on the Vickrey-method. First, you start looking, live or online (the full catalogue is online). If you have a painting in mind you like, you can start thinking about a price. The highest price you would pay for it, will be your bidding. You fill in the form with your bidding price and hand it over to an independent third party; the notary. You won't know the other biddings until the auction. The huge advantage of this method is that you will come up with a price you really think it's worth it, you have time to think about it. The notary will know who is the highest en second highest bidder. If you are eventually the highest, you have to pay the price of the second highest bidder. Now that's a nice concept ;)!
Save the Details
Check the entire auction catalogue and go to the viewings: 14-18 September 2016 at Fischer's House, Nobelstraat 5, 2513 BC, The Hague (from 11.00 – 17.00).

text: Hello. If you don't know of me, I'm 18 years old, senior in High School. This year I had about a total of 30 lawns, and mowed about 20 lawns every Saturday (because of school). I normally did the weed-eating and edging, while I hired two others (paid at $7/hr) to do the mowing. Next year I plan to triple my lawns, but I'm worried about getting enough help. I want to be able to be at school, while having a crew take care of my lawns. I know this is possible, and I know people have done this before. So, any advice? Thanks!! -Chris

I would like to start off by saying, I have no children. However, I have somehow managed to always have some kind of small child in my life that I take care of from time to time. I've worked daycare, had baby nieces and even helped with a few different friends kids. No matter how much experience I have I still dread taking a child's temperature.
At one point I bought stickers that were thermometers but they were so hard to read that I had to give up. This Thermofocus accurately checks the child's temperature without inserting it anywhere or trying to get them to hold still long enough for you to put it under their armpit. The other horrible task is worrying if the bath, the bottle, or the food is too hot. I'd might be ok if I were scalding my own child, but it just seems wrong to do it to other people's children.
The thermometer from Kidz-Med never touches the child. You just point it at their forehead and it will take an accurate reading. Its an expensive thermometer at $99.95, however it'd be great for foster parents and daycare centers. Well that and that one person in the family that just can't seem to stop reproducing.

Description of Peter's motorboat
We offer day charters on our modern Jeanneau Prestige S 2009 model (which is licensed for charters). A typical day charter leaves port at 9am, arriving in Blue Lagoon (or other bay of your preference in Comino or nearest point in Of course we can plan the day around your requirements on request. Once we arrive at the destination of your choice, we'd spend the day at anchor in complete tranquility away from the crowds where you and your friends can enjoy quality time in one of the many picturesque bays the Maltese Islands have to offer. You could bring packed lunches with you (or we could also arrange for this ourselves on request). The boat is equipped with a kitchenette (cooker, microwave, sink and 2 fridges). At 5pm we would start making our way home with a planned arrival time of around 5.40pm. Its possible to arrange for additional hours. One way to make the trip truly remarkable is to visit the world-famous Valletta Grand Harbour in the evening and dock at the Waterfront in Valletta where you may enjoy dinner in one of the many restaurants or bring the food onboard and dine in style (marina charges apply). We would start heading back home late (11.30pm) and take in the truly is a magnificent sight! The front of the boat has comfortable cushioning where you can lounge in the sun and work on your tan. There are both an inside and outside dining area. Ideally the boat caters for 6 persons, however its possible to be up to 8 persons + 1 skipper. This all depends on how comfortable you'd like be. Price includes skipper and fuel (to Comino & back). Trips to certain parts of Gozo would incur a fuel surcharge of up to 50 Euro. Should you wish to stay out at sea for a longer period a surcharge of 50 Euro per hour (after the normal return time of 5.40pm) is applicable.

Sweater Quest (Paperback)
My Year of Knitting Dangerously
Free Press, 9781416597643, 220pp.
Publication Date: March 23, 2010
Praise For Sweater Quest: My Year of Knitting Dangerously…
"To answer the seemingly innocent question, 'What makes knitters knit?" Martini visits knitterly landmarks, chats with influential figures, and ponders our peculiar habits and traditions—all the while marking her journey's progress through an exquisite Alice Starmore Fair Isle sweater. All roads ultimately lead back to one simple universal truth: It's not about the wearing, it's about the making."
—Clara Parkes, publisher of Knitter's Review and author of The Knitter's Book of Wool
"I could NOT put Sweater Quest down! I felt as though I was knitting the sweater along with Adrienne, felt her pain and her joy. Once I even thought, as I was packing the car, 'Now WHERE is that Alice Starmore sweater I was working on?' The book became that insinuated into my psyche. I love this book."
—Annie Modesitt, author of Confessions of a Knitting Heretic
"Adrienne Martini combines her passion for knitting with her astonishing ambition, bringing to her lovely new memoir an enthusiasm which is infectious. Sweater Quest will have you reaching for your needles to knit your own dream sweater, and it belongs on every knitter's bookshelf."
—Rachael Herron, How to Knit a Love Song

Avoid These Uniform Shirts
Choosing work wear has become a dog eat dog proposition where only those high priced designer names seem to rule the roost. Well, at one time this may have been a truth, but today, you will find that designers have cheaper prices than ever and promote a high quality product with the benefits you need. These uniform shirts are a great example of what you can get when you demand more but at a lot less price. Because you are a smart consumer, you know prices do not always have to be extremely high to get what you need.
Uniform shirts come in all shapes and sizes. You will enjoy shopping for these designs that promote a healthier you while allowing you to keep money in your bank account. When it comes to getting more, you demand the best. After all, whether you work in the restaurant industry, the medical industry, or another industry, you give your all, so you should expect and accept nothing but the best when it comes to your work wear.
What should you avoid when it comes to uniform shirts?
Do not pick a top that will work with just one pant, trouser, or skirt! Would you purchase a bright yellow shirt with orange highlights to go with the one pair of shorts in your closet that has the tag still on them since you bought them 20-years ago? Probably not. You can give the same high expectations to your work wear as you do your everyday apparel. Consider purchasing a neutral color or print that will work with more of your bottoms.
Stay away from tops that are too big! I love wearing baggy clothes around my house. They are comfortable and give me lots of room to move. However, I would not wear those baggies to a wedding, prom, or even to church. Shirts or blouses that are too big swallow your frame. Often, full figured individuals will purchase bagginess simply because it hides things that they believe should be hidden. Pish posh. You will get a better, cleaner, and crisper look by staying away from baggy tops.
Stay away from tops that are too small! This is one of my pet peaves. No one should be wearing skin tight tops for anything much less the workplace environment. Showing off the entire body leaves nothing to the imagination and is tactless. Too small is as bad, if not worse, than wearing baggy designs. There is no need to wear something that pops open in the front or shows off curves that do not need to be displayed to get ahead in your workplace. If you feel you do need to show curves, maybe it is time to get a new line of work.
Avoid showing too much cleavage! A little cleavage never hurt anyone, but the workplace is rarely the place for such formalities. If you are headed out the door to work, you should not be dressed in a manner that will negatively reflect on you or your place of employment.
When it comes to uniform shirts, getting more from your purchase means purchasing sizes that fit both your body and your budget.

Congratulations for stopping by this post, you were smart enough to realize that knowing what NOT to do is just as important as knowing what to do.
I know if you understand and follow these MLM tips you will greatly enhance your odds of success. Here we go!
MLM Mistake #1 – Not Avoiding The Roller Coaster
Riding the roller coaster is the biggest mistake in MLM. If we stop and consider roller coasters for a second they can be an exciting thrill ride, fun, and even terrifying. Whatever the emotion you personally get it's always a relatively short ride.
If you think about it who would want to be on a never ending roller coaster? If you said no one, and I'm sure you did – you realize that MLM can be an emotional roller coaster with hi- highs and low-lows, and if you want to CHOOSE success, you absolutely must CHOOSE how you handle the high's and low's of the business – if you don't you won't be on the MLM ride very long.
Keep in mind – I'm not saying to not get excited, I'm also not saying to not be disappointed or frustrated at times – what I'm saying is to not let your emotions stop you from moving forward regardless of which emotion is looking to take you for a ride.
MLM Mistake #2 – A Naive Concept of Duplication
Duplication in MLM is a touchy subject, some experience it – others yearn for it. Most people seem to believe it some how up to the company or their upline to create. Some feel like it's because of a particular method of presentation or even because of sales skill, you'll even hear it's because of a simple the system that must be implemented.
Let's quickly look at each, could it be the company? Well, every MLM company has people succeeding and people failing, right? So it can't be the company. (BTW, Since most believe it is, most struggle).
Maybe its skill or the method of presentation? While I won't say this isn't a factor, I've certainly seen some really BAD presentations and some even worse approaches that still accomplish the goal of enrolling a new distributor. If you've been around MLM for a while I'll bet you've seen at least 1 corporate MLM website and presentation that looks like crap that's pulling in distributors like crazy! I've also seen the opposite, great presentation, great look, and feel, and still stagnant growth and attrition in the business.
Perhaps its simplicity and a system? Well if you've been to at least 1 MLM training at all you've been told follow the system, right? Can you easily describe in detail the system? Or are you going to tell me to make a list, call them, and enroll them – and have them do the same. Maybe you'll suggest a meeting, or webinar. Whatever the approach being recommended is it really systematic? If it's truly systematic why do so many people struggle and look outside the company and line of sponsorship for answers? I'll leave that one for you to answer for yourself (like I said, duplication is a touchy subject).
My thoughts on duplication… (Kinda revolutionary – let's start a revolution)
Simply put, don't worry so much about duplicating tasks, strategies, or words (that will come in time). Focus on learning and teaching people how to duplicate the right MINDSET (this must be the focus from the start). Like we talked about, regardless of the company, products, presentation, or system – leaders succeed – and it's because of our MINDSET, and it's only something we as individuals can control. So, learn and study how leaders think – and learn to pattern and duplicate that thought – as it's thinking that will improve and develop your attitude, your attitude will determine your actions, and your actions will develop into habits, and your daily habits will create your results.
MLM Mistake #3 – Choosing The Wrong Kinds Of Mentors
Choosing a mentor that can help you is critical to succeeding in anything. I want you to notice I didn't say having a mentor – I said, CHOOSING one that can help you.
More often than not people choose mentors based on their level of respect, or for some level of accomplishment the person reached and not based on what's actually important. (Put importance on if the mentor can and is willing to help you.)
Let's look at 2 GURU examples that can easily be recognized by anyone.
Example 1 – (the real estate example), Millions of people who desire to become new real estate investors actually look up to and follow Donald Trump and believe he is a good role model for them – and this has always baffled me. I've often heard people refer to him as their mentor or role model. This has always struck me as odd because Trump was received formal education, millions from his family to get started, and they came to his aid with millions when he made mistakes. While he ultimately fostered that money into more – he came from money, and his situation is certainly not at all similar or comparable to a new first generation investor. I can see the attraction to Trump, yet Trump is someone who CAME from money and contacts, he not a person who built a fortune from the ground up with no or few contacts. Can he really teach the new investor how to win without these advantages? (Nothing against The Donald from him we can certainly learn and should learn his MINDSET of persistence and his understanding of branding – feel free to comment and keep the discussion going!)
Example 2 – (the make money example) Robert Kiyosaki and I love reading Robert! But, is he or should he be considered a good mentor? Well, if you read Rich Dad Poor Dad you know Robert had direct contact, mentorship, and advice from "the wealthiest man in Hawaii" from about age 5 until the time he himself became a multi-millionaire. While Robert definitely provides great information and motivation the real almost hidden lesson he teaches is one of direct access. Are you getting direct advice, contact, and mentorship from someone who can actually help you and wants to help you? (Robert has mastered gaining direct access to those who can help him and is a master of influence.)
If you're scratching your head wondering what do these 2 examples have to do with MLM? Well it's simple – if you're struggling chasing a burnt out, un-interested, unresponsive warm market and your mentor tells you to approach them again. You may have a "Donald Trump mentor" remember Donald's family was supportive, had connections, had money, – the whole family had a very responsive warm market eager to support them. Donald never had to build from the bottom to the top from scratch. (When you realize even when had major issues he still had contacts.) Who is mentoring you in building your MLM business? Did they have a responsive warm market eager to join when he called with an opportunity, if so how can they truly help you build from scratch?
Perhaps your mentor is the Robert Kiyosaki style – full of good ideas and possibilities, but doesn't really share how to implement them, very motivational and inspirational, but impossible to get direct access to? If you find yourself in either situation the sooner you recognize it the better.

Today Judge Walker issued an order in our case against AT&T setting a case management conference on November 14, 2006. The case management conference is an important step towards opening up discovery and moving the litigation forward. Previously, Judge Walker had placed the case on hold. Case management statements from the parties will be filed by November 7. We are still awaiting the Ninth Circuit's decision on whether or not it will hear the government's appeal.

Today is National Cancer Survivors Day®.
"National Cancer Survivors Day® is a CELEBRATION for those who have survived, an INSPIRATION for those recently diagnosed, a gathering of SUPPORT for families, and an OUTREACH to the community." – NCSD.org
The other day, I came across a rather bitter, anger-filled blog post criticizing the movement for excluding those whose disease has metastasized.
I, too, have struggled with the term "cancer survivor." Like the author, I am living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
For the most part, I am not inclined to be angry about cancer.
Don't get me wrong. It's not all roses and sunshine, and I have had my share of melt-downs. If I listed some of the crazy things I've said or done in the past 26 months, those who know me might be surprised. Living with MBC is not easy, and every once in a while it is okay to not be strong, show vulnerability, and ask for help.
MBC is considered a terminal illness and treated by the medical community as a chronic disease. It is a life-long journey for which the cure has yet to be found.
So, back to the term "cancer survivor." Can it include those with metastatic disease?
Here is what surviving cancer means to me:
Celebrating each and every day.
Acting upon opportunities.
Noticing miracles.
Creating experiences.
Embracing love and compassion.
Relishing life.
Survive is a verb, and verbs depict action. I choose being an active participant in my life. I choose to survive.Survive is a verb, and verbs depict action. #nationalcancersurvivorsday Click To Tweet
P.S. – I'd love to read your thoughts on surviving cancer. Please do share in the comments.

Health officials confirmed today that Florida will get a piece of the $25 million in Zika funding announced last week by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Earlier this year, the woman traveled to an area that was known to have Zika-infected mosquitoes. "I have been calling on Congress to act to fund the fight against Zika since February, when I first introduced my legislation to combat this risky virus ".
Gwinnett native Ragan Smith sits in fifth place after the first day of U.S. Women's Gymnastic Olympic Trials. "But it's what I believe". "But it's been so fun to reminisce about the fun memories we had together. It's a testament to Biles' dominance that she was solidly in first despite a few mistakes. But we will know Sunday night after the second evening of competition, after she has a chance to improve on her Friday performance.
Twins 11, Athletics 4: Kennys Vargas, Max Kepler and Miguel Sano hit home runs, Tommy Milone beat his old team and Minnesota topped Oakland in a game that was delayed by a thunderstorm at the start by 2 hours and 42 minutes. Over the last 10 days, he has produced three four-hit games while batting. Giancarlo Stanton can turn line drives into home runs for the Marlins. Lindor, Cleveland's All-Star shortstop, then booted a grounder hit by Martinez for an error.
However, with the Williams serve at its destructive best, there was only so much punishment she could absorb on a blustery court. "I knew I needed to keep calm, be confident and just play the tennis I've been playing for a decade". "I would like to see people-the public, the press, other athletes in general - just realise and respect women for who they are and what we are and what we do".
Serbia emphatically claimed its first Olympic appearance as an independent country Saturday, crushing Puerto Rico 108-77 in the championship game of the Olympic Qualifying Tournament it hosted in Belgrade. The last time Canada played Olympic basketball was in 2000, when Steve Nash was the lone star of that Canadian squad. The Serbians raced to a 24-3 lead and were ahead 37-11 after one quarter, extended it to a 60-27 at halftime, and shot 58.7 percent for the game.
The cast also bid farewell to Leslie Odom Jr., who won a Tony for his performance as Hamilton's rival Aaron Burr, and Phillipa Soo, who played Hamilton's wife Eliza and scored a Tony nomination for it. The star and creator of the Broadway smash is set to end his run as Alexander Hamilton Saturday.

" The American people have a right to know what they're eating ", Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) said during a press conference on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
So here is a sample of why many drivers struggle so much with this experience. Every time we would get past the guys that we were racing, a caution would come out and those guys would beat us out of the pits. Either Chase Elliott or Ryan Blaney might surprise with a decent showing. But the Furniture Row Racing driver, who won this race in 2012, also knew he had the auto to win again at the 11-turn, 1.99-mile Sonoma Raceway circuit.
Gordon says they teach their players to hold their heads up high with their shoulders back, like Summitt taught them, and how to respect the name of the institution on the front of their jerseys. It meant the world to Catchings as she embraced her coach after the series clinching game. "My prayers are with her family today". Summitt ended her career with 1,098 wins and eight national titles.
As an organization and as a coaching staff, we have to push him. Even with the temperatures climbing to triple digits outside the Thomas & Mack Center, Ingram remained unusually cool for an 18-year-old on his first National Basketball Association stage.
Carlos Beltran doubled and scored on a double by McCann. Jason Kipnis singles to right field. Bauer suffered his first loss since May 21, surrendering five runs in 5 2/3 innings. With both starting pitchers departed, the game quickly became a battle of the bullpens. The Yankees got on the board in the third inning starting with a Brett Gardner leadoff double.
They'll agree on liking Saturday's result, which ensured that Williams' older sister Venus remains the lone player to down Serena twice in grand slam finals. Serena will have a chance to win a second singles gold medal at the Olympics in Rio next month before attempting to close in on Court with a 23rd major at the US Open a few weeks later.
Pirates right-handed pitcher Chad Kuhl was removed after 2 1/3 innings in his third major league start after allowing the Cubs to tie the game 3-3 in the top of the third inning. Mark Melancon, the sixth Pittsburgh pitcher, got the final out for his 27th save in 28 opportunities. "It's a long season", said Lester, who kicked himself for an ugly three-inning, three-walk, two-homer start.
I had a couple of tries this year", Williams said during the trophy ceremony. "I definitely had some sleepless nights, if I'm honest". "With a lot of stuff: coming so close, feeling it, not being able to quite get there". Kerber is set to rise to number two in the WTA rankings when they are released on Monday. Williams and Kerber then exchanged a long hug to cap an enthralling battle.
I touched the curb but it pulled me further. This relegated Hamilton to a lowly 10th, but he was soon out again with less than three minutes remaining - and responded under pressure with a searing lap to grab pole. claimed eighth place for Toro Rosso . Felipe Massa ended up a disappointing 12th in the second Williams, just ahead of Haas pair Romain Grosjean and Esteban Gutierrez, and the second Toro Rosso of Daniil Kvyat .
No, she has contended, she wasn't thinking about 22, although it turns out she was. Serena Williams has warned her rivals she is hungrier than ever to win more grand slam titles after the American beat Angelique Kerber to be crowned Wimbledon champion again.
Ko's two playing competitors in a marquee group , Canadian world number two Brooke Henderson (71) and fourth-ranked American Lexi Thompson (73), each ended the day at three-over to narrowly make the cut. Open, you never know what's going to happen, you just keep working on what got you here, and you never know. Having won two of the past three women's major championships, Ko is in excellent position to make it three out of four.
Indians 6, Yankees 0. "We had to use the 'pen hard", Girardi said. That's an understatement. Starting in reverse there was, to name a few, Carlos Beltran starting the rally with a single and Joe Girardi inserting Ronald Torreyes as a pinch runner.
Amplifying the horror was the video live-streamed in the shooting's aftermath by the slain man's girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, as she sat in the passenger seat. "I wanted everybody in the world to see what the police do". She also had strong words for the police officer who pulled the trigger, calling for accountability and justice.
It's a big blow for Ramsey and Wales but he is confident he will have the chance to play in the final in Paris on July 10. Kevin de Bruyne is aware of the challenge Wales pose in their upcoming Euro 2016 quarter-final, and calls for a repeat of his team's performance against Hungary .
And it can end up being a little bit of adrenaline. Ko's comedic timing was as flawless as the timing of her golf swing. At 19 years, 2 months, 16 days of age, she would be the youngest to win the Women's Open, topping Inbee Park (2008) by several months.
ET. The UFC has a new bantamweight champion, as Amanda Nunes quickly took out Miesha Tate tonight at UFC 200. Now, the night's main main event will be Miesha Tate defending her bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes . I feel awesome. I'm going to go back to Brazil and visit my family. And then this week, she got a few more breaks. "One fight doesn't make or break me".
Margaret Court's pre-Open Era mark of 24 Grand Slam titles, set entirely before Williams' lifetime, has enough asterisks attached to it to reasonably negate comparison, even if Williams was interested in discussing a possible next milestone - which she clearly is not.
Germany's feared strikeforece was stuttering in the group phase with three goals in three games despite repeated attempts from Loew to find the right mix in his front line. Antonin Panenka famously scored the winning penalty with a chip down the middle. "Today, I take a rest but tomorrow, I'll contact my agent and we'll see".
I think I've agreed with [FAI chief] John Delaney...and I'd be happy to continue on if he's still feeling that way". "I'll sit down with him and if he feels he wants to stay with us that would be great". "Then not so good against Belgium - we didn't play with the same intensity and kept giving ball away cheaply, and that was a surprise given how well we'd done against Sweden".
Aaron Hill's skill set should fit in nicely with the Red Sox. Kimbrel was sent for an MRI and the Red Sox are awaiting the news. Tonight was no different for Archer as he required 29 pitches (only 13 strikes) allowing two earned runs on two hits while issuing two walks.
He was able to walk off the field under his own power, but did have a slight limp. The last time the Rays starter and loser Matt Moore (5-6) faced the Sox he shut them out over seven innings during a 4-0 victory June 29. Porcello also got a win in his last game, going six innings against the Rangers with 12 hits and four runs. NICK MEETS WALL: Nick Franklin made the Friday start in tricky, Green Monster-inhabited leftfield, with Oswaldo Arcia on the bench and Corey Dickerson at DH.

Merritt, who finished his heat in third place in a time of 13.64 seconds, said afterwards he was confident of shaking out the rust in the later rounds after his first outing since May's Diamond League meeting in Shanghai. "If I have a good start I think I could break the world record", said the 23-year-old, who missed Bulgarian Yordanka Donkova's 1988 record of 12.21 seconds by three-hundredths of a second in May.
Another former officer in St. Anthony Police Department told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that both officers are "stellar and wonderful" people. Sterling's and Castile's families denounced the attack on the Dallas officers. Kardashian addressed the shock and numbness she felt when watching the viral videos released following Sterling's and Castile's deaths, and she was also anxious about what she would one day tell her children-especially her son Saint.
The seven-figure buy will air nationally on cable networks, including CNN and MSNBC, and online starting Monday and running through the convention. While Cruz resisted criticizing Trump in the initial months of the GOP primary campaign, Cruz would eventually become one of Trump's fiercest rivals - and the last remaining legitimate challenge to Trump's campaign to win the Republican presidential nomination.
No matter what happens tonight for Lesnar, it's the big fight situation that he deserves to be in, but the truth is that the outcome of his fight against Hunt will have serious implications on his career not only in MMA but in WWE. I'm just happy to be here, I really am, it's no bull****. An absolute legend of the sport and one of the reasons I love it so much to this day. For context, this is easily the largest purse in UFC history .
And yet somehow France scored two goals in the 2-0 victory, both from its newest hero with the unique backstory, Antoine Griezmann. "It is now widely accepted in his homeland that the man who played through the pain barrier to produce a titanic, heroic performance to drive his country to World Cup glory is now a fading force, with a creaking body that is increasingly vulnerable to injury", an English paper wrote of the 31-year-old before the tournament started.
Mr Comey recommended no criminal charges be filed but indicated administrative sanctions could be taken against Ms Clinton or her aides. Immediately, Republicans and conservatives howled, with GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump claiming this was all part of some nefarious cover-up.
Those comments also reflect the contrasting outlooks of the teams in the build-up to this game. Bookmakers suppose France to be the favorite in final game against Portugal. Portugal is facing France in the European Championship final on Sunday. Portugal limped out of the last World Cup in the group stage, while Euro 2016 qualifying opened with an embarrassing 1-0 loss to Albania and Coach Paulo Bento submitted his resignation.

Cast includes: Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone), Kyle Chandler (Zero Dark Thirty), C.J. Wilson (The Intern), Michelle Williams (My Week with Marilyn), Lucas Hedges (Moonrise Kingdom), Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller's Day Off)
Writer/Director: Kenneth Lonergan (Analyze This, Margaret)
Genre: Drama (137 minutes)
"I can see it all laid out like a map," says Lee as the Claudia Marie navigates the waters off the Massachusetts coast. Lee and his brother Joe have a running competition about their different ways of doing things, such as navigating the picturesque waters around Manchester. Lee tries to get his nephew Patrick to side with him, but the kid's loyal to his dad. When the scene changes, it's winter and Lee is shoveling snow outside an apartment building in suburban Boston. He goes from there to a problem lock, a stopped up toilet and on to some leaky plumbing. Lee is the building handyman, and when tenants are rude, Lee dishes it right back. We soon find out that Lee has a lot of anger under his calm exterior, and it sometimes gets him in trouble.
When Lee gets the call, it's not totally unexpected. "I'll be up there in an hour and a half." He calls a friend to fill in for him while he's away… "about a week." "I'm so sorry… he passed away about an hour ago," George tells Lee. "We were working on the boat, and he just fell over. I thought he was kidding at first." In a flashback, we learn that Joe had congestive heart failure, and when pressed for a time horizon, Dr. Bethany thought he might have 5 to 10 years. This isn't Lee's first hurried trip to Manchester, but he only comes back when Joe needs him. So when Patrick sees Uncle Lee at his hockey game, he knows it's bad news. Maybe that explains the fight Patrick gets into on the ice. That's what his coach wants to believe. For now, Patrick and Uncle Lee have to get through the funeral and tie up the legal issues. "Should I call my mom?" "No one even knows where she is," says Lee. In flashbacks, we learn about the drinking and the bad divorce. At the lawyer's office, Lee learns that he's been named Patrick's guardian. "I don't understand. I can't be his guardian." But apparently, Joe worked out all the details. "Hey, I'm just a back up." "Lee. No one can appreciate what you've been through," the lawyer says, hoping he'll reconsider.
Through flashbacks, we gradually get the backstory. And through ongoing day-to-day events, we watch as Lee struggles to find a way forward. After all, Patrick needs him… or does he? One minute Patrick is comfortable with Lee's being there. The next minute… "You're a fucking asshole!" It's apparent that a volatile temper runs in the family. Manchester by the Sea is a sensitive exploration of grief and family connections. Most of the credit goes to the extraordinary acting… some scenes are just heartbreaking. This film might be a bit low key for some moviegoers. The trailer gives us the impression that the film is going to be rather melodramatic, but it isn't… quite the opposite. Over the course of revealing moments, we come to appreciate how grief can destroy someone's life. Obviously Joe thought becoming Patrick's guardian would renew Lee's will to start living a normal life again. Lee wants Patrick to move back to Boston with him, but Patrick has a life in Manchester… school, a band, hockey and 2 girlfriends. "You're a janitor in Boston… what the hell do you care where you live?" But that's just it… Lee does care… more than others can appreciate.

Providence had a basketball game on Tuesday but that is not the reason for this story. The real reason for the story is the tribute that they had for the Newtown victims. They blocked off 26 seats as a reminder of the victims that were lost last week.
That is quite the interesting way to do a tribute. It is quite powerful and I hope that more schools take note of this. It may seem simple at the time but the message is not lost. A lot of people are going to see this and admire it. It is very well done.
This tragedy has affected a lot of people. Most of the country is still in mourning and seeing this tributes is a part of helping the healing process. It will be impossible to fully recover from such a tragedy, but things like this will slowly help things return to normal. That is what sports are attempting to do.
Sports can be used as a way to help people return to their normal lives. They serve as a distraction that allow us to have a break from the tragedies that surround us. We have seen a ton of people come up with amazing tributes and things like this are only getting better.
Whoever came up with this idea needs to be congratulated. It is extremely simple but very tasteful. The tragedy will not be forgotten but tributes like this can keep the victims memories alive for a long time.

There's a touch of history to head track and field coach Wayne Norton's office in Stegeman Coliseum.
As you walk through the door, you're greeted by a series of pictures of former UGA track great Forrest ''Spec'' Towns. To the left of the pictures is a framed certificate commemorating the anniversary of 100 years of Georgia Track in 1997.
It's only fitting that Norton has those two items on one wall, while the opposite wall has several empty hooks that are just waiting to be useful.
Not that Norton, Georgia's head track and field coach, doesn't have plenty of mementos and memorabilia that he'd like to hang up. In fact, Norton has a box of prospective candidates in the corner of his office, but he said he hasn't had enough time to put any more stuff up.
No wonder because even though Norton has had plenty of time to settle in as the 13th head coach in school history, taking over for a successful coach like John Mitchell, who retired last year at the end of the outdoor season, isn't something you ease into.
But that's OK with Norton because there never seems to be enough time to get things done, especially for someone as detail conscious as Norton.
''Coach Mitchell was like flowing along, and I have got this and I have got this and this and this ... ,'' Norton said. ''As far as our staff, that has been the transition of the whole staff, going from a kind of laid-back (coach), I am laid-back in a way, but still, I want things to be done just right, and I am requiring a lot more of my staff than he did of his staff because I think there is more that we can do. We can be more productive and more efficient because we have good people on this staff, and I am going to challenge them to be good.''
Norton knows what's like to be challenged by a head coach. He spent the last nine years as Mitchell's assistant, or the head jumps coach as Mitchell might have said, and was hand-picked by the former coach as his replacement.
In his time at Georgia, Norton has been a key ingredient in the Bulldogs' success. He has helped guide Georgia's men to five outdoor top 10 NCAA finishes and two indoor top 10 finishes, while helping the women win the first SEC Outdoor Championship in school history in 1995 and earn their highest NCAA finish in school history (seventh, indoors) in 1996.
In picking Norton, Mitchell's goal was to ensure a successor who could help Georgia track and field maintain its national status, and he said he sees no reason why Norton shouldn't flourish in his new role.
''He's probably one of most intelligent assistants that I have ever had,'' Mitchell said. ''He is super bright and super intelligent. He uses very good logic and he has good common sense. He's very organized and very methodical. He's very detail-oriented.''
Mitchell was even more impressed with how Norton handled the transition between coaches.
''He handled it with a lot of class,'' Mitchell said. ''The biggest thing about Wayne Norton is he has got a lot of class.''
Even though Norton may have a different coaching style than Mitchell, he admits that he doesn't want to be compared with his former boss.
''This is my 10th year here and I was here with him nine of his years, so it is almost like I am not following or taking over,'' Norton said. ''It is just that he isn't here and I am still doing a lot of the things that I have been doing for the last nine years.
''For most people, they keep asking what has it been like (to take over for Coach Mitchell)? There hasn't been any kind of transitional feeling at all. It is just that I have been here and I am still here, and I think that that was the way it was designed to be.''
But that doesn't mean that things haven't changed.
''As far as the work load of the staff goes, it has probably quadrupled,'' said assistant coach Don Babbitt, who coaches the throwers. ''Part of it is having the cross country course now and the duties there. It is all good stuff promoting the program. We are probably doing more stuff promoting track and field and cross country within the state and region.''
Babbitt started part of that promotion under Mitchell in 1998 when he held a throwing clinic. Since then, he has held a pole vault and throws clinic that between them attracted more than 100 different coaches from three states.
In addition to the clinic, Babbitt has helped organize a Georgia Track and Field newsletter that keeps people informed on what's going on in the program.
Conducting clinics and camps and compiling and distributing a newsletter are all made easier today by the fact that Mitchell, before he retired, lobbied for the athletic department to hire a fifth assistant track and field coach.
So when Mitchell retired, Norton stepped into that spot and was able to hire Aaron James (pole vault/multi events) and Jon Stuart (middle distance/sprints) and complete a staff that already included Babbitt, Rachel Cook (distance/cross country) and Norbert Elliott (sprints/hurdles).
With a complete staff, Babbitt said Norton has taken the approach that more needs to be done to attract attention to Georgia track and field.
''If we're going to keep moving forward and getting better, these are all the little things that you do have to do,'' Babbitt said. ''If you really want to be a great program you have to take care of all the camps and the clinics and getting known out there and hitting the road and getting the word out about your program, so we're definitely making strides to do that.''
Yet Cook said just because the coaches may be taking on more doesn't mean they are going to be stretched too thin because Norton will keep a close eye on all the activities.
''He's very thorough,'' Cook said. ''Obviously the relationship has changed and his role has changed, but he definitely wants and needs to know what is going on in all the areas. I get the feeling that he has pretty good faith in his staff and as long as things are going well and he is being kept up to date, he doesn't have to have his hands on everything.''
Getting the word out about Georgia track and field suits Norton and Cook. Norton earned a bachelor's degree in broadcast promotion from Howard University and a master's degree in journalism from Indiana University, while Cook received a bachelor's degree in fine arts and a master's degree in business administration, so it seems each of the assistants will be able to contribute to the program.
''I do think we complement each other pretty well,'' Cook said. ''You want to make use of your staff's strengths, otherwise it would be wasted assets. It is good that he knows that and is willing to act on it.''
Said Norton, ''What I try to do is the details are all covered so that we can be more productive and do more things. I am trying to take advantage of all the resources and all the skills and talents that the staff has and make sure that we get the full use of them.''
Mitchell believes Norton will accomplish that goal.
''Wayne is going to do a great job there,'' Mitchell said. ''The kids like him and he is very friendly that way. He's a really bright guy and he wants to win and he will work very hard. He has a good staff and a good group of people there. They're going to do well.''
