Coaches Deej Ramirez, Brian Sheffield and Greg Nunley knew what they would be up against.
It was regional championship baseball in Durant where some of the toughest teams from the State of Oklahoma would be competing for a chance to advance to the state championship tournament. It was supposed to be difficult.
A scheduling error put them in this tournament — one of the more difficult tournaments for region play in the state. The team had to travel three and one-half hours to get there and they had to be there and ready to play by 1 p.m. that same day.
It never mattered to the Warriors who they played or what time they played. All that mattered is that they were there in Durant competing for a chance to go to state and that they were still playing the game they love deep into the summer.
Any youngster who loves baseball dreams of these moments and here were the Warriors, far from their tiny little town of Tipton with the odds stacked against them.
Game one of the tournament saw them facing the Coalgate Wildcats. The game started off rough for the Warriors as they gave up three runs and fell behind early. Ramirez took a chance on a pitching change and it payed off.
It did not take long for the team to rally and make the game competitive, outscoring and defeating the Wildcats to win the game with a score of 10-8.
The team did not get long to enjoy their hard-fought victory. Later that same evening, they would be facing off against the Latta Panthers. A win against the Panthers would give them a day off Wednesday.
Maybe the day off was incentive enough and maybe the Warriors were just the much better team, but one thing was for sure, the Warriors lit up the scoreboard. They held a 10-0 lead by the fourth inning and though they never scored again, they also never gave up a run.
The win gave the Warriors a day off and they spent it at the The Splash at Fairvew Park in Sherman, Texas, for a day of relaxation and fun before they faced off against an undefeated Durant Lions team.
On Thursday, the Warriors took the field against the Lions. The game against the Lions was no gimme. Coming into this game, the Lions had not lost all season and they battled back from a 5-1 defecit to pull within one by the top of the fifth inning. The Warriors stepped on the gas and surged to a 9-4 advantage by the time the Lions had another chance to bat. The game ended in the Warriors favor by a score of 9-8 and sent the Warriors on to the semifinals against the Stigler Pirates.
Unfortunately, the Warriors came out flat against a very good Pirates team and recorded their first loss of the tournament by a score of 10-3. The loss put the Warriors in the loser bracket against the Lions.
The Lions were looking to redeem themselves from their earlier loss to the Warriors in a loser-goes-home contest. Fortunately for the Warriors, they were once more on their game and sent the Lions packing with a 4-2 win.
The win put the Warriors in the championship game against the only team to beat them so far, the Stigler Pirates.
A rain delay kept the Warriors and the Pirates off the field until Saturday at 6 p.m. The coaches played "work-up" with the kids to keep them motivated and warm until the game began.
The championship game was much closer than the previous contest and the Warriors did everything they could to take the championship. The game was tied 2-2 in the bottom of the fifth inning and the Pirates were up to bat with two outs and a player on third base.
The Warriors had their ace on the mound, prepared to put the upcoming batter away and try to win it when they got their chance to bat. Unfortunately, a wild pitch put Stigler up 3-2 to win the game and advance to the state championship.
It was not a loss for Ramirez and his team. If anything, he sees it as a statement to others.
"I had one of the best times of my life this last week," Ramirez said. "Teams around the state now know they better come ready to play ball when facing the Warriors. This year put us on the map."
Ramirez's Warriors ended the season 22-3, playing spectacular ball down the stretch and advancing further in this tournament than they ever had before. Just two years ago, they lost their first two games and were eliminated from competition early. Last year, they were 1-2. This year, they were 4-2, only being eliminated in the championship game.
Ramirez's dedication to these players is so strong that he is leaving his job where he has worked for six years so that he can have more time off for the Warriors program. The Warriors may officially have lost the tournament, but they gained the respect of teams, coaches and fans of baseball in the State of Oklahoma.

E Pellicci Bethnal Green Reviews
1 reviews
Traditional East london restaurant Mar 22, 2011
As much social club as caff, Pellicci's has been warmly welcoming customers since 1900. The venerable marquetry-panelled interior is cramped; sharing tables is to be expected, nay, relished.
An espresso machine bearing the Ferrari logo produces coffee and hot water for mugs of tea; the good-value cooking includes traditional English and Italian dishes, sarnies, classic puds and, most famously, a roster of glistening fry-ups: everything from a set vegetarian breakfast to black pudding.
The staff are endlessly chirpy, and the chips are rightly renowned - though our bubble could have done with more vegetable bits. Sadly, Nevio Pellicci, king among caff owners, passed away in December 2008, though his legacy lives on.

Sleep is a tricky subject. How much should you get? Is it better to sleep on your side or on your stomach? What position makes you more likely to snore?
Thankfully, The Huffington Post put together an infographic (see below) detailing the pros and cons of each sleep position. So pay close attention to the tips below!
What's your favorite way to sleep? Let us know!
1. On Your Back
This position is often called "starfish position", and it is very good for the back. This position allows you to minimize wrinkle, sagging breasts and acid reflux. However, because of the positioning of your head in this position, it tends to increase and worsen snoring.
2. On Your Side
Sleeping on your side allows you to lessen snoring and can help improve your circulation (this is the sleeping position that is widely recommended and preferred for woman when pregnant). However, the stress that is put on your shoulder and hip (mainly the side that is down) may result in shoulder and hip pain. Also, because your body is being somewhat scrunched it can lead to wrinkling and sagging breasts.
3. Face Down
This is another position that can help reduce snoring. Typically, in this position your head is on one side of your face, much like sleeping position two, which has a positive effect on reducing snoring. However, because the position your spine is during this sleeping position you may experience neck and back pain and stiffness. Your belly weight can play a role in the severity of the pain too, the larger your stomach the larger the arch in your back may be when in this position. Also, because your mid section is smashed against the bed, wrinkles and sagging breasts is increased.
If we leave aside your favorite sleeping position, you can get less pain and better sleep if you supplement your body with a pillow. The people that are sleeping on their back can place a small pillow beneath the arch of their spine, side sleepers should place a pillow between their knees, and those that sleep on their stomach can put a pillow under the hips, which will support the joints and help them enjoy a full, painless relaxation.
Each person has their own sleeping preference, which in turn has its own pros and cons. The important thing is to be able fall asleep and sleep for the appropriate amount of undisturbed hours. Getting enough sleep will provide you and your body with several different health benefits.

A good time to visit Fairbanks to see the northern lights is anytime between mid-August and mid-April. That is when we have dark skies at night. The best aurora shows are said to occur during equinox, fall and spring. These also happen to be the best weather months, as it is not too cold, and the roads are clear.
You can see the aurora in January, but the temps are brutal. You will take 1 or 2 photos and your fingers will feel numb without the proper gear. Then there is your camera freezing and the battery being drained. Keep all of this in mind when you come to Alaska. Have spare batteries, bring long johns, and proper boots. If you are a serious photographer and in need of camera protection, don't rely on massed produced camera covers made for the lower 49. Get a Canadian made camera parka built for the arctic. Some tour groups provide gear/clothing. Plan ahead!
How cold does it get? It can and does get to -50F and sometimes colder, and does not let up for days, even weeks. The insides of buildings are warm. Your hotel, room, cabin, and stores are warm. Dress in layers to go from staying inside to being outside. When you are using your vehicle to watch auroras, leave it running when it is very cold (suggestion is about -20 or colder). The car may get cold fast and it is highly possible it won't start.
The roads are snow-covered and icy from October to April. We as residents driving from home to the store do not generally use chains to drive. Some people have snow tires, and some don't. Truckers and busses sometimes carry chains in case they get stuck. If you are uncomfortable driving on the ice, there are many ways to drive out to see the aurora if not seen in town. You can hire a taxi driver, a guide, or join a tour group. Ask your hotel if the shuttle driver can drive you away from light pollution. It doesn't hurt to ask.
The Fairbanks Visitor's Guide, TripAdvisor, and others have good information concerning tours and trips, but use caution with visitors suggestions that are older than a year. One common misconception is that you need to travel to a hot springs to see the lights. This is NOT the case. In fact, there is a lot of light pollution at the hot springs. Also, just because someone has lived here in Alaska all their life, does not mean they know anything about the aurora. If you have a question about this feel free to contact us here.
There are a few wonderful advertisers on this website that can assist you. You can see the aurora from some hotels, B&B's, and Air Bnb's in the area, without having to drive anywhere. If you are looking to see the aurora in all it's beauty away from city lights, then reserve a place far from town. Even 30 miles away is close when it comes to light pollution. In a darker location, you will see more structure, more color, and details in the shapes and lines of the aurora and in the stars. The milky way is easily seen away from town. If you see a "whitish", "white", "pale green", or "faded" aurora, then you have not seen it properly. Get away from light pollution, you will see the colors and vivid brightness with your own eyes! Light pollution includes your car headlights and your smartphone!!!
The Fairbanks area sees the aurora almost nightly. If the weather is clear, you have a great chance of seeing it. But it is not always overhead. Look to your north, northeast, and low on the horizon if you can't find it. Another trick is to find the Big Dipper star constellation. That will guide you in the right direction to look. Next time you see a photo of the northern lights, see if you can see the Big Dipper.
Traveling to Alaska by air is easy, but there few choices of airlines. If you are coming here for the northern lights, then you need to go to Fairbanks or further north. Anchorage does see the aurora but it is considerably LESS often than Fairbanks. If you are only going to Anchorage on your visit, then you should plan on taking a drive north and being out all night long. See Where to Go From Anchorage.
One tiny overlooked tip for seeing the aurora: you have to be awake. The aurora is out at night, typically in the middle of the night. Wake up calls are ok, but just plan on being awake! Take naps. If you are in a hotel, and get an aurora wake up call, what is your plan? To catch the lights while standing under the security lights? That is not fully taking it in. You came all the way to Fairbanks, see the lights away from the city. It is worth it. No picture can show you how wonderful it feels to see the lights in person.

A Poem, And Love For Mom At 103
Mom at her 100th Birthday party.
A Mother's Love
A mother's love is warm and sweet,
A safe abode, a warm retreat.
Yet more there is than meets the eye,
Your mother's love's not "where" or "why."
'Tis given without thought...it is,
Throughout the years it mirrors His.
And when at last her days are done*,
And brilliant day is setting sun,
The light she gave will linger on,
The promise of a coming dawn,
When lasting love waits at the door,
Where mother's love can part no more.
© 1998 Demas W. Jasper All rights reserved.
* Mother passed away at age 105, nearly 105 and a half, at home and only bed-ridden for the last few days as the cells in her body simply wore out and failed her spirit. She was and is Viola Winslow Jasper. (1908-2014)
When I wrote that poem for Mothers Day in 1998, my mother was 86. Today she is still doing very well at 103.
Yes, she is rehabilitating from a hip which broke in multiple places as she was sitting down just a few weeks ago, but that physical therapy is going very well. She will be returning to her own home in "another week or two" according to her rehab center.
I count it a rare privilege and an extraordinary blessing that my whole family can enjoy the wisdom and shared experiences this special Mom/Grammy/Great Grammy still provides for us. We love her.
Her life started with her being born "at home" the thirteenth and last child in a large, Maine, farming family. That year a man named Wilbur Wright flew some 30 miles in just 40 minutes! And, a new company named General Motors started business.
Her brothers and sisters have passed away now, though one was 102, and another sister was 98. Her father died tying his shoes at age 94, and my Dad succumbed to heart valve failure at 92, after a married partnership which had survived the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, and almost 30 years of retirement together.
At her first of two birthday parties this month, Mom was asked "How does it feel to be 103?" She replied, with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, that it felt about the same as it felt to be 102! Another gal rehabilitating in the same facility is 105, and the two of them have been looking for another two there to make up a foursome to play Bridge.
What does an otherwise healthy woman do at age 103?
Mom reads, quite typically having two books she is in the course of reading. She reads several newspapers daily and masters their crossword puzzles. She clips coupons for shopping and mails some to other family members. She watches television when "it's anything I care about." She enjoys going to her hairdresser regularly, spends some of the nice days and nights at a cottage near the ocean in the summer, and enjoys going out to eat and having fine meals my sister or niece prepare at home. (Her daily breakfast for years now has been an English muffin with cottage cheese and marmalade, a glass of orange juice, a vitamin, and one or more cups of her favorite hot tea.)
Most of all, Mom enjoys time spent with my sister Mary, and almost daily phone visits with me, during which we talk about each other's events of the day, other family members, and some of the wonderful memories we share. She especially enjoys hearing the latest doings of any of her 17 great grandchildren who are spread across the country from New Hampshire to Washington State with 11 in the Utah and Iowa grandchildren's families.
I asked her one day what the happiest day of her life was. She replied, "The day I married your father." Asked what she most regretted, she answered that she had no real regrets, "life has been very good."
Other people ask me, "What's her secret?" I speculate that it might have something to do with "the water supplied by her well" and the fact that she and Dad had grown, and frozen or preserved, fresh vegetables and fruits after moving back to Maine in 1948. They also raised chickens some of those years, and Dad was an avid hunter and loved fishing, too. Questioners usually acknowledge there are likely merits in living such a basic lifestyle.
It certainly doesn't hurt Mom's longevity that Dad had a reasonable retirement income and health coverages which continue to keep Mom's life free of many of the stresses which even much younger Americans experience today.
And then, there are her genes.

Thanks for sharing this. What longevity in your family! You mom sounds wonderful. It's great that you talk daily. I should be so good with my mom! many votes!
A beautiful recount of your mother's history. To be brought up by such a vibrant woman must have been so much fun. To live as long as your father did and still out live him and going strong is a blessing. There are not to many seniors who can function as well as she does.
I had one great grandmother on my mother's side who lived to 103 and my grandmother her daughter lived till 92. My dear mother lived only to 76 due to her smoking, one of her lungs gave out and she entered a coma and passed.
My father died at 72 and he had lived a hard life of smoking and drinking. I myself am now pushing 63 don't smoke, drink some wine and eat as healthy as I can. Apart from a few stiff joints, everything else seems to be working fine. Thank you for sharing and God continue to bless your family with great health and longevity. BTW I enjoyed your poem dedicated to you dear mother.
What a lovely tribute to your Mother. We Mothers do like to be appreciated and loved. I'm so happy she is doing well as you indicate in your comment. She sounds like a wonderful human being. I'm sure she is proud of you, too. Goodnight
What a beautiful essay! Your mother sounds like a wonderful person. Give her a smooch for me, please?

WASHINGTON (AP) – The top Senate Democrat says FBI Director James Comey may have broken the law by disclosing 11 days before Election Day word of newly discovered emails possibly related to the investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server.
In a letter late Sunday to Comey, Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada says his office has determined that the FBI director's actions may have violated the Hatch Act, which limits some political activities of federal employees.
Reid wrote to Comey: "Through your partisan actions, you may have broken the law."
The Democrat also railed against what he sees as a double standard by Comey, saying the FBI has "explosive information" about close ties between Republican Donald Trump and the Russian government. Reid says there is no danger to American interests to release that information and accuses Comey of resisting calls to inform the people.

The J. & E. Stevens Co. of Cromwell, Conn.
(Part 2)
by Sy Schreckinger – ANTIQUE TOY WORLD Magazine – April, 1988
J. and E. Stevens'
introduction of the first patented cast iron mechanical bank, the Hall's
Excelsior, resulted in immediate success. It wasn't long before the
penny-hoarding public was clamoring for new and novel savings devices.
With such incentive John Hall then designed his Race Course bank, followed
by the Tammany and the Hall's Liliput. Of interest is the fact that
Russell Frisbee, General Superintendent and partner in the J. and E.
Stevens Company, autonomously designed the Frog on Round Base bank,
utilizing the base design from Hall's Race Course bank. The unauthorized
usage of this Hall design caused a major rift between the two men.
During the period between 1866 and 1900, the "golden age" of
mechanical banks, the Stevens foundry produced approximately seventy
banks. Most were designed by inventors other than Hall or Frisbee. Classic
examples include the Panorama bank designed by James Butler; the Fowler by
Edwin Pyle; the Bank Teller and the Preacher in the Pulpit by Arthur
Gould; the Novelty bank by C. C. Johnson; Patronize the Blind Man by
William Lotz; the Acrobats by Edward L. Morris; Eagle and Eaglets by
Charles M. Henn; the Jolly Nigger, Speaking Dog, and Artillery by Peter
Adams; Bill-E-Grin by John W. Schmitt; and the Creedmoor, 'Spise A Mule,
Two Frogs, Elephant and Three Clowns, Paddy and His Pig, Reclining
Chinaman, Darktown Battery, Girl Skipping Rope, Cat and Mouse, and Clown
on Globe, all created by James H. Bowen. Charles A. Bailey designed
Germania Exchange, Indian and Bear, Professor Pug Frog, Bread Winners
bank, Darkey Watermelon, Dentist, Jonah on Pedestal, Milking Cow, Bad
Accident, Boy Robbing Bird's Nest, Magician, Hen and Chick, etc. etc. This
impressive list contributed to the establishment of J. and E. Stevens as
the undisputed worldwide leader in the production of cast iron mechanical
Several years ago, noted mechanical bank historian, Mark Haber,
acquired several volumes of Stevens Company ledgers, foundry records, time
books, correspondence and related material. Through these rare documents
Mr. Haber envisioned a visit to the Stevens Foundry, circa 1890. The
following is his imaginative interpretation of a tour through the foundry.
Our tour begins by walking along Nooks Hill Road, which affords us a
view of the panorama that includes a group of Stevens buildings (Figure
I). As we arrive at the plant we are greeted by Mr. E. S. Coe, a nephew of
the Stevens brothers and Secretary and Treasurer of the company. As we
enter Mr. Coe's office he points out the exhibit of the company's products
neatly displayed in glass front cases opposite his desk. Settling into his
large, overstuffed swivel chair he leans back and exclaims, "Inasmuch as
we are going into production on the Jumping rope bank at this time, I
think it may be of interest to you to learn something about its inventor
and some of the production problems it presented here at the foundry. It
might be well to mention the fact that Mr. Bowen, the bank's inventor, is
a rather difficult man to get along with. He is easily irritated and many
times misconstrues the intent of my correspondence. While it is true we
lean heavily upon him for the introduction of new and novel designs for
banks each year and we show him every consideration, we nevertheless must
be firm with him, as we must maintain a degree of company policy. From the
very beginning Mr. Bowen insisted his Skipping Rope bank be in finished
production by holiday time this year. He had only supplied us with a
preliminary model a few months earlier and I informed him that, due to its
complicated design, final production could not be accomplished before the
following year. He became quite irritated and threatened to bring his
design to another company. I then assured him we would make every attempt
to accommodate his wishes. Production of the Skipping Rope bank has proven
quite problematic from start to finish. There was difficulty in casting,
assembling, packing, breakage problems and finally, pricing, which
unfortunately, proved quite prohibitive in the present toy bank market."
Continuing with our tour of the plant, we leave the building which
houses Mr. Coe's office and enter the pattern casting building. Here we
find Mr. William G. Keighley in the process of pouring a mold with white
metal for a master pattern. Mr. Coe then introduces us to Sigmund
Weirsching and William Ward who perfect and polish these master patterns
which are then cast in bronze. They will be finished and polished and,
with gates* added, ready to be utilized in the manufacture of the actual
production bank.
Leaving the pattern casting shop we are escorted into the finishing
and buffing shop. Here the gates and rough spots are ground off the final
iron castings which are then placed in a large, waterwheel-driven tumbler
where further smoothing and polishing is accomplished. We are then
escorted to the carpentry shop, where we find George Ellis and Charles
Zeisler building cases from precut boards in which the banks will be
shipped. Across the road we are ushered into the paint shop, where we
witness an array of banks in various stages of paint finish. They are
placed along a large wooden table that runs the entire length of the room.
These dull, gray iron objects seem to come to life at the hands of women
such as Kate Ralph and Catherine Bond. At this moment, both women are busy
decorating the Skipping Rope bank. Kate is doing the striping and fine
details; she is considered the "old pro" and is usually the one consulted
when a paint or color problem is encountered by any of her other
associates, namely; Amelia David, Lena Goldthorpe, Mary Rempe, and Allena
Ralph. All of the women working in the paint shop are paid on a piece-work
basis. Their monthly salaries usually average about $20 to $30.
Leaving the paint shop we are directed to the stock room. Here banks
are packaged into individual boxes and then grouped into large wooden
crates, ready to be shipped towards their appointed destinations. We are
also shown the company grocery store where the employees can purchase
foodstuffs and tobacco at Stevens' cost.
We are now led by Mr. Coe into the foundry building. Here we see
molders pounding the fine red sand into the molds with their fists and
pouring cast iron into the hollows which will make up the various parts of
the Skipping Rope bank. Mr. Coe points out one of his best molders, Ed
Brown, also noting Ernest Twenty, Fred Twenty, Emil Swanson, Charles Ehrhardt, Axel Olson, Charles Gustafson, Edward Winkle, Tony Gillette,
Nels Peterson, Thomas Shanley, John Rook, William Alquist, Erne Campanelly,
Charles Nelson, Arthur Warner, John Gaffney, and Nels Nelson.
The pig iron bars are then readied for the furnaces. The cupola
furnaces had been previously fired up and the flames and heat are intense.
As the pig iron is deposited into the cupola, a greyish-blue cloud of
smoke belches upward and exits from the several large smoke stacks jutting
towards the sky. The molders rush to scoop up the molten iron as it
streams from the crucibles, each gathering his ration in a long-handled,
clay-lined, iron ladle and depositing it into one of the vacant molds. The
average rate of pay for a foundryman is $2.00 per hundred molds; their
average capacity is about 75-100 molds per day. A good molder can earn
$12-$14 weekly. A foundryman's day ends about 4:30 p.m., at which time we
see men and women emerging from the exits knowing they've earned a good
day's wages. Everyone well return to their job at 7:00 a.m. the following
As our tour comes to an end, Mr. Coe bids us a cordial
farewell, offering each of us a newly manufactured Skipping Rope bank,
gently cradled in its own wooden box.
* Small, flat tabs which allow the molten iron to flow
into all of the impressions made by the pattern as it was pressed onto the
sand mold.
To be concluded next month.

Holley's People News
Project LS2 S14�Featured in Forza Motorsport 6
If you have been able to make it to LS Fest any of the past several years, it is likely that you have stumbled upon a 1996 Nissan 240SX either on the autocross course or parked right in front of the Holley show trailer. Even though an LS-swapped S-chassis Nissan isn't the breathtaking deception that it was a decade ago, there's no denying the awesome combination of a light chassis combined with the torquey V8 heart of an American muscle car.
This particular example belongs to Blane Burnett, Holley's Marketing and PR Coordinator, and features an LS2 that puts 419 horsepower to the rear wheels with the help of a
Holley Dominator ECU
. The engine bay looks like it was designed to accept the LS2 thanks to a bevy of
Hooker Headers swap parts
including engine mounts, transmission mounts, and a set of longtube headers that mate to a Hooker exhaust system.
After bumping into�the Forza Motorsport crew at SEMA this year, John Schommer linked up with Blane to put together
this article
featuring Blane's Silvia on their website. The article covers Blane's journey with not only this car, but his evolution into becoming the full-fledged gearhead that he is today. Since this is Forza Motorsport we are talking about, they did their best to create a digital version of Blane's car. Unfortunately, Forza 6 does not count an S14 among its included cars at this time, so the color, wheels, and race livery were transferred to the next closest thing, an S15 240SX. You can also find that�rendition of Burnett�s car in Forza Motorsport 6 by picking up a 2000 Silvia Spec-R and then searching��HMA� or �Holley� in the Forza Marketplace. Then just add the livery and tune to your collection.�

Gotta go back to Madrid
Madrid Travel Blog› entry 3 of 3 › view all entries
I spent just one night in Madrid which was just enough time for me to realize that I needed way more time there. When I planned my Spain trip, I planned out some time in Barcelona and Ibiza but left four days open afterwards to allow a little flexibility on the trip. I always hit the ground and discover places that I haven't heard of but want to see, or I simply just have a simple change of heart and decide I want to be in one place rather than another. Anyways, vacations should be relaxing and not about meeting rigid time schedules. I knew that Barelona were going to be the focus of my trip since I was going with friends, but I still wanted to see Madrid while I was in Spain. I was hoping to spend the extra days heading up to Madrid on ground with maybe a few nights there. I purchased my plane ticket to Madrid the night before I left for Barcelona. Rather than give me the usual e-ticket, the website had to mail me the tickets. This was an incredible inconvenience which forced me into booking a hotel room the night before I flew out so I would have a place to Fed-Ex (at extra cost) my tickets to.
It was late at night and I was tired so I didn't put alot of research or thought into what part of Madrid I'd like to stay. As every experienced traveler knows, it's best to be in an area where there are lots of places in walking distance or at least a short taxi ride away. I am not sure what was going through my head when I booked my hotel, but I can only assume that it wasn't the walking rule. I flew into Madrid and got a taxi to take me to my hotel. Once again, not sure what was going through my head, but the hotel was pretty far from the airport. After having my wallet stolen in Ibiza I could not afford any extra costs or unforseen expenditures. I had one hundred Euros spending money for my trip from Ibiza to Madrid then Madrid to Wales. So needless to say, an expensive cab ride did alot of damage to my travel budget. The only good thing about the long cab ride was that I got to see a bit of the city. Once I got to my hotel I did explore the surrounding area which was an odd mix of businesses and apartment buildings. It looked like an older, established area so the architecture was very pleasant to see.
I would love to go back to Madrid, except this time I'd prefer to stay right in the heart of the city. Madrid is a city rich in culture and history and one night in the suburbs is not even remotely satisfying. This is one of a couple of mistakes that I made on my Spain trip, but I did manage to do a little sight seeing and see Madrid first hand. Now I just need to plan a real vacation there!

Re: Tedesco Pittsburgh 1890's/1905
In reply to:
Tedesco Pittsburgh 1890's/1905
James Jenkinson 9/07/02
Michele Tedesco was born Feb 11, 1837 and died April 6,1914. His wife Angelina was born Oct 6,1843 and died Aug 23,1929. These dates are from their headstone. They are buried in the St. Joseph cemetery in Council Bluffs, IA.
I was wondering where you found Angelina's maiden name as the 1925 Iowa census shows something different but then again census records aren't always right.
As for Michele's children: in 1914 August was in Pittsburgh but in 1929 he resided in Omaha,Ne. Thomas & Carl lived in Council Bluffs as did Pearl, who was my wife's great grandmother.
Cosmo,Lucio and Vincent all lived in Omaha.
Maria married a Cannizaro and lived in Brooklyn,NY
Hope this helps a little

Thank you for your kind donation Alan Irene and kids
Thanks for visiting my sponsorship page! From 14th to 17th June 2012 I will be taking part in the Football League Arch to Arc bike ride raising money for Help the Hospices. This challenging three-day bike ride starts at Wembley Stadium and finishes at the Arc de Triomphe, Paris. We will be cycling a gruelling 245 miles over 3 three days through England and France come rain or shine so we will be earning every penny of sponsorship we manage to raise! I would just like to add that I am a complete novice and have never attempted this sort of distance. if there is anyone out there who fancies it, it's not too late to sign up! We have plenty of time to train and it should be a fantastic 3 day trip. Anything you are able to donate will make a huge difference. Thanks for all your support! Steve Peters l try to update my page with my training progress which I will also post on facebook. The money raised will go to Help the Hospices who do amazing work supporting hospices around the country. You can watch a video about their work at www.helpthehospices.org.uk/about-us/

When the weather outside is frightful, icy and wet conditions cause people to slip and fall. Falls are actually the leading cause of injury-related hospital visits.
Winter weather can trick our minds into thinking 'keep me warm' indoors, yet our bodies need physical activity every day to keep healthy, boost the immune system, and to prevent chronic diseases-- diabetes, heart disease, obesity. Check out these warm and safe locations, and visit them at no cost this winter season.

In 1943, an assistant music director at New Theatres, just out of college, landed in Bombay with uncle Krishna Chandra Dey. Thus began the journey down melody lane for young Prabodh Dey.
Sixty years on, on his 84th birthday, the legend will be reliving his journey through memories and music at a programme at Netaji Indoor Stadium. The May 1 line-up features most major music directors for whom Manna Dey had sung during his long lyrical stint in Mumbai Anandji, Ravi, Ravindra Jain and possibly Pyarelal.
So many of them are not there any more Shankar Jaikishen (for whom I sang the most number of songs) Madan Mohan, Salil
, he says, clad in his trademark safari suit. Pulak (Bandyopadhyay, the lyricist who committed suicide), too, went away so unexpectedly, the voice quivers. He wrote such beautiful lines for my Puja album for Kavita. Kavita Krishnamurthy will also perform at the programme along with violinist husband L. Subramaniam.
The birthday gala would never have taken place if the Iraq war did not happen. We were supposed to have been in the US with our daughter Surama, a software professional, points out his wife Sulochana.
After decades in Mumbai, the Deys are now settled in Bangalore. But the veteran singer does not like it at the software hub. South Indian music is alien to me, he frowns, adding that its only the proximity to his younger daughter Sumita that keeps him there.
Does he not want to return to his roots' Mention Calcutta, and he becomes agitated. Why should I return' Four years ago, Jyotibabu (Basu) said I was the last of the greats and I should spend my remaining days here. He promised me a five-cottah land to build a music academy. I am still waiting, though my enthusiasm for the project is fast waning.
Mention of music and Bengal draws an acrid response: This band and (octa)pad culture is so annoying. They may be earning a lot but there is no dedication among new artistes here, he rues. But he sees promise in Bollywood. Udit (Narayan), Sonu (Nigam), this new girl
Shreya (Ghoshal) they are all singing well. The TV buff, who caught Devdas on Sony last Sunday, feels Shreya could not have sung so well had her training been in Bengal. There are good teachers here, but who has the time to learn'
While Devdas has earned Deys displeasure for being so gorgeously un-Saratchandra, he accepts that it is the prevailing taste that the director had to follow. But what about Jism' The film is close to pornography, he exclaims. The master singer fears that as themes of films go from bad to worse, music, too, will take a beating. There wont be a sequence to fit in a Tu pyar ka sagar hai or a Kasme Vaade in such films. But amid the current crop, he liked Lagaan (Oi Aamir chheletake mondo laglo na).
Flipping the pages of his music book, he says he hasnt decided on what to sing. He doesnt need to. After six decades, he can gauge the pulse of the audience and chooses his songs accordingly. His music book is a marvel, replete with short-hand notations. He can sing any song just by reading the notations, Sulochana smiles. Lata and Asha learnt this from me out of curiosity, but they never practised, he adds.
Dey had lost his music book once, having been mugged in front of his Mumbai bungalow. I was going to take the morning flight to Calcutta on January 23, 1987. It was quite dark when I went out to hail a cab. A cab stopped, carrying four youths. They slashed at my midriff with a pickaxe. Their target was the briefcase carrying the songbook. The quartet was arrested later but they had thrown away the useless sheets.
Even at this age, theres no stopping Dey. On Monday, he recorded three Tagore numbers for a Gathani CD project. There are 17 songs left, for which I will have to come back.
The artiste met chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee later at Writers Buildings. My audience is dwindling with the change in taste, he told Bhattacharjee. Some day in future, I will not be there, but the songs I have sung will stay on, the Coffee Houser sei adda man added. The chief minister could not agree more.

Indeed. I am already out of bitter beer. All that is in the cabin fridge is some Blue Moon Honey and Sam Adams Cherry Wheat that ,apparently, Red left when he visited last season.
Thank Dog for John Jameson, an unopened bottle.
I look down through the lineup, and other than the first line, there is not much that is inspiring confidence. The defense is such that we will need to score 4 goals or better to be in the game. I mean, we got a guy named Xavier on D.
I guess that's better than Tonya…..WTF??

We all nurture a passion but few translate it into action. A passion left unanswered results in a dry life; an act driven by passion can transform lives. This defines our journey and our dream which we have nurtred into this website "Youth Policy".
Our country has a long history of youth-led movements that brought about significant social change. Young people have advocated for child labor laws, voting rights, civil rights, school desegregation, immigration reform and LGBT rights. Through their actions, the world has changed. Because young people often have the desire, energy and idealism to do something about the injustice they see in the world, they are powerful agents for change.
The purpose of "Youth Policy" is to ignite the sparks that will bring the change.
About Rachit
Rachit holds a B.Tech degree from IIT Delhi and MBA from IIM Calcutta. Neither too studious nor a workaholic, he believes in challenging the conventional beliefs and ideas. His actions speak louder than words. His gestures are befitting of a true leader. His smile radiates a gush of positivity.
Rachit considers internet to be a milestone achievement in human history and believes that there is still a lot that can be achieved with it. He is the brain behind "Youth Policy" and he aspires to lay a foundation of change that will revolutionize the thinking and actions of Indian youth.
About Nidhi
After graduating from Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Nidhi, at an early age got involved with the social sector. It all began with organizing free Health camps, blood donation camps for Children, women and senior citizens. As a Gandhi Fellow, she worked with government schools in rural Rajasthan, India for two years.
Nidhi is equally passionate about using technology to create positive social impact. She is the heart of "Youth Policy". In her own words:
"Believe strongly in what you want to do. There will be challenges; there will be periods of change. Learn how to accept and balance them out."


text: Ace (our six year old male boxer) had a "play date" in our backyard an hour ago or so. easy child/difficult child and his girlfriend brought their pit bull puppy over for the first time. The puppy is maybe six or eight weeks old. The two dogs ran and circled and raced around...and then... Ace made multiple attempts to mount him. WTH??? Ace has not been "fixed" and is not around other dogs except at the groomers. The groomers always comment on how "nicely" he plays with the other dogs. Hmmm....why would an adult male try to mount a male puppy? When Ace's name was called he backed off and they began running around again. I am NOT an expert in dogs but seriously what to heck does that mean? Do same sex dogs get hot and bothered??? Cane, the puppy, evidently does mount furniture etc. at his young age but Acey has never shown an interest. So...family experts...I'm a bit shocked and wondering what if anything we should do so that they can innocently play together. easy child/difficult child is moving into his new house in a few weeks and has promised to take Ace when husband is no longer able to care for "his baby Ace". I am more than dumbfounded. Help, guys. DDD

There's a lot of good writers getting ousted from Patheos Pagan channel. It's unsurprising, given it was run by a right wing Christian organization. I'm not sure what their theory was in having the diversity of faiths represented – "know thy enemy?" maybe? Once they found out exactly how impossible it is to convert people to Dominionism when they've all heard it, thanks, there's a lot less reason to keep those dissenting voices around unless they breed hella revenue.
I'm possibly guilty of … I dunno, being a bad Pagan? Like I'd care? I lost interest in Patheos pretty quickly, and I am also pretty disinterested in Pagan Square. I think this is mostly because I see religion as something that takes care of itself. You have spiritual experience, or you don't, and you evolve your beliefs – sometimes right out of the original package – or you don't. I'm a religious woman. I engage with deities. It evolves and shifts back and forth between all the theisms based on what my life is teaching me in the moment.
I suspect it's supposed to work that way.
The identity politics matter. The ethical talks matter. The relentless definition, re-definition, and "you can/I can't" stuff just…annoys me. It all matters, sure, but I have a hard time staying engaged with it on a daily basis. If someone isn't Pagan anymore, I see no reason to get butthurt. It's their path. Your religious choices can't betray me, it's not a shared experience, even when you share community experiences around it. Wicca does not define every magical experience. The longer you practice magic – what really interests me – the less "right ways" you have to do anything.
I'm sorry to see so many good writers at Patheos displaced. I'm especially upset at the upending of the Daughters of Eve platform. That said, maybe shifting platforms will bring up some new conversations. We need them.

Photo courtesy FSIN.YTC and Keeseekoose First Nation hosting first science fair February 9, 2017 News (Treaty 6 Territory, Saskatoon, SK) — For the first time ever the Yorkton Tribal Council will host a science fair at the Keeseekoose Chiefs' Education Centre on the Keeseekoose First Nation on Friday February 10, 2017. "We want to encourage our young ones to develop an interest in science and technology because it will help position them for the job market of the future," said Keeseekoose Chief Lyndon Musqua. "We already have a great demand in our First Nations communities for people in health sciences, and that demand will only increase as our population grows." The YTC science fair begins at 10 a.m. with drummers and a speech from an elder. The judging begins at 11 a.m., with 48 students participating. The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations Executive applauds the groundbreaking effort by the tribal council, teachers and students, as First Nations educators encourage students to pursue an interest in science and technology. "It is vital for our youth to complete their education in the area of science and technologies. Education is the key to building healthier people and communities," said FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron. "The FSIN is proud of our young people as they apply their Inherent and Treaty right to education embarking on meaningful careers." The FSIN Education and Training Secretariat helps to organize an average of 20 science fairs a year at First Nation schools culminating with the annual Saskatchewan First Nations Science Fair on March 20 and 21, 2017 in Saskatoon.

For those brides who wore the same dress at their wedding and AHR, did the dress get dirty at the wedding? I'm planning on wearing my dress at both, and I'm worried that it will be really dirty around the bottom edges and people will notice at the reception. Did you have it cleaned in between?
Dirty Wedding Dress??

text: 24 July 2014When having a spot of retail therapy, many women tend to opt for outfits that bring out their best assets � getting a little help in the cleavage department thanks to dresses featuring in-built push up bras, along with plunging necklines to give the appearance of a fuller bosom. In the case of Lori Rupp, she can enjoy bigger breasts without any of this fashionable support � thanks to a recent Breast Augmentation procedure. �I can feel comfortable being at the pool in a swimsuit and not worry about thinking I�m a 12-year-old boy,� Rupp explained. Statistics released by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery noted that more young women are undergoing this Cosmetic Surgical procedure, with over 3,300 women under the age of 19 having Breast Enlargement surgery in 2013 � resulting in a 64 per cent boost in the past ten years. �We�re seeing more people interested in Breast Augmentation; it�s growing,� said Cosmetic Surgeon Dr Williams Adams. �The demographic is 18-to-28 years old.� Renowned for his expertise in Breast Augmentation, he�s credited for pioneering a number of innovative surgical techniques that have improved safety standards in Implant surgery. However, prospective patients must ensure they are fully informed about the risks, as Breast Augmentation is not a one-off surgery. �They�re young,� Adams said. �They�re going to live a long time. There�s potential for having to replace the implant or having to do other surgeries. There could be unexpected risks and complications. All that has to be discussed.� But is Rupp happy with the results? Shortly after graduating college, she treated herself to the surgery � and despite the Breast Augmentation being subtle, she�s delighted to report a boost both in her image as well as her career confidence. Have you ever considered Breast Enlargement? If you�ve had this procedure, what were your reasons for doing so? Let us know on our�Facebook�page now!


text: I'm not that familiar with H watches except for the Kelly watch, which runs around 1795+ (??) for regular leather with PH. Now ... is a H watch with diamonds considered a reasonable price at $3500? I'm not a diamond person, and I'd love it if they don't make it in diamonds. But the one I'm looking for right now I can only find it with diamonds and they're pricing it at that range ... I just love the style, but I can do without the rocks ... And yes if I get the watch I'll post it here, if not then I won't. ^^ Oh and the reason I'm even considering getting something this extravagant in spite of my current rockbottom situation is that I still have a huge chunk of store credit and it doesn't look like they'll be able to get my bag this year ... I mean, should make use of the money somehow
