I had planned to post this cake last week, but unexpectedly got really sick. So I was in bed the whole weekend (darn!). But I went to work for a couple of days this week and so is taking today off. Sadly lil LM and JM are sick as well, so all's not well.
Eventhough the center didnt flow out when cut into, the cake wasnt cooked dry, so each bite was really moist, creamy and decadent. It was unlike any cake that I've had before. It sure was melt-in-your-mouth goodness!! Give this recipe a try, and I'm sure you all will love it!
Preheat oven to 400F. Grease eight 6 oz custard cups. Dust with sugar.
In a heavy saucepan, heat chocolate, butter and cream over low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter and chocolate have melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove pan from heat and add vanilla extract.
With a wire whisk, stir in flour just until the mixture is smooth.
In a medium bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat granulated sugar, eggs and yolk until thick and lemon colored, about 10 minutes.
Fold egg mixture into chocolate mixture, one third at a time, until blended.
Divide the batter evenly between the custard cups.
Place cups in jelly-roll pan for easier handling.
Bake until edges of cakes are set but the centers still jiggle, about 8-9 minutes.
Cool in pan on a wire rack for 3 minutes.
Run a knife around the edges to loosen cakes from the sides of cups, invert onto dessert plates.
Dust with confectioners' sugar.Serve immediately with whipped cream or icecream, if desired.

- I only made half the recipe, just reduced all the ingredients by half.
- Reduce the baking time to 6 minutes or so (if you halve the recipe), since my cakes turned out almost well cooked. One of them was still moist inside, but the others were cooked through. But still they were creamy and decadent once in the mouth!! :-)

I'm making a documentary about the yarn graffiti movement and I'm writing about it here.
Monday, July 11, 2011
Stupid Me
During the normal school year, I teach a high school film class and I work at UT helping the students in the film school produce their movies. I also work at a filmmaking non-profit which was my sole job this summer. I was suppose to work at a film camp this summer but not enough kids signed up so the job fell through. Needless to say I've been living on a part-time wage this summer and it's been rough. All the stress has been piling up. How could I raise money for my documentary when I barely had enough money to buy groceries? Today I woke up and realized that I didn't need that drama in my life, I need to focus and make sure I'm not going to bring work stuff home with me.
In my college career I have been thankful enough to have heard some great people speak: Spike Lee, Kevin Smith, Matt Stone, Mike Judge, Richard Linklater, Morgan Spurlock etc. During one night, probably 3 or 4 years ago, I got the opportunity to hear Francis Ford Coppola speak. One thing stuck out to me about what he said, he credited his success in film to being a father. He said that when he first heard that he was going to be a father, the thought that he would be supporting his family pushed him to do whatever it takes to be successful. I don't need to get knocked up to hopefully push myself. I'm hoping that being unemployed for the next two months, barely having enough money to pay my bills, will light a fire inside me to do what it takes to succeed. It's been more stupid of me to neglect my doc. I not only owe it to myself to make this doc, but I owe it to the yarn graffiti community and all the people who have back my project on Indiegogo.
Sometimes it's okay to be stupid and take risks. Wish me luck.

I'm going to banned from telling this story because i keep talking about it and not doing it; but I heard an interview with Jackass's Steve-O. He was talking about how Alexander the Great's war tactics fed his drive. When A.G.'s men were outnumbered at naval battles, it is said that he would set his own ships on fire telling his men that theyd have to take the enemies ships if they wanted to live. So way to go! Burn your ships!!! i'm rooting for you!ReplyDelete

Regular contributor Penny Simkin discusses the research around parents' singing to their babies in utero and the post birth benefits. She also shares how birth professionals can encourage clients, patients and students to start this practice during pregnancy. Part one of this two part series can be found here. – Sharon Muza, Community Manager, Science & Sensibility
What is the research evidence for postnatal benefits to parents or babies of singing to the baby before birth?
• Fetuses can sense audio vibrations and rhythms early in pregnancy. Later in pregnancy they hear and distinguish various sounds. (4)
• They recognize their parents' voices after birth (1)
• Newborns prefer their parents' voices over the voices of strangers (1)
• Repetitive prenatal reading of one story by one parent every day for weeks results in the newborn's recognition of and preference for that story. (2)
• Fetuses respond to music by calming, becoming active, changes in FHR (depending on the music) 5,6)
• Premature babies are calmed by calming music. (7)
• Newborns and young babies are calmed by familiar music, as demonstrated by the universal use of lullabies.
Combining these findings, a proposal
In light of all that has been learned about babies, I think we can combine it all into a simple approach to enhance bonding, soothe the baby, empower parents with their own unique tool that no one else, even the experts, can do as well as they. (8) I propose that we who provide care and education for expectant parents urge them to do the following at around 30-32 weeks' gestation (or earlier or later):
Simple steps to singing to the baby in utero and after birth
- Choose a song that you like and is easy for you to sing. It might be a lullaby or a children's song, but it does not have to be. It can be one of your favorite songs or a popular song of the day.
- Sing it every day. Both parents can sing it together, but each of you should also sing it alone much of the time. It can be played with a musical instrument some of the time, but it also should be played without an instrument much of the time.
- When your baby is born, after the initial lung-clearing cry, sing the song to your baby. The baby can be in your arms or with a nurse in the warmer. If your baby is crying, try to sing close to his/her ear or loud enough that he/she can hear it at least during the pauses to take a breath.
- Continue singing it every day, especially during times when your baby is crying (and has been fed; don't use it as a substitute for feeding!)
- Sing it when bathing or diapering your baby, when soothing or helping your baby go to sleep.
- Sing it when your baby is upset and you can't pick her up, such as when driving in the car and you can't stop or take the baby out of the car seat; or at a checkup if the doctor is doing something painful.
If parents feel they can't sing or are too embarrassed to do it, I suggest choosing a poem that has a nice rhythmic meter, and recite that to the baby. I recommend Mother Goose Rhymes or poems in books by AA Milne, such as "When We Were Very Young" and "Now We Are Six;" or Shel Silverstein's "Where the Sidewalk Ends" and others.
Film clips showing baby's reactions to familiar songs
Recent students in my birth class took my suggestion to heart, singing "Las Mañanitas," from their Mexican culture, to their unborn baby frequently. The dad would lie with his head on the mother's pregnant belly as they sang.They even videotaped sessions while the mother was having a non-stress test that showed the baby's heart rate steadying when the dad was singing, and rising when he was not. We also see the dad singing to their sweet little daughter right after the birth. Though she cries pretty hard when being suctioned and rubbed with blanket, she calms down with his singing.
I've just completed a film for children (9). In the film, we see 4 year old Maia singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" to her baby sister before birth and again right after birth. Neve, her sister, calms down when she hears Maia singing the familiar song.
In conclusion, when parents sing one (or possibly a few) songs repeatedly to their child, before and after birth, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to build a unique, meaningful and fun connection with their baby. The child already knows and loves the song as sung by his/her parents more than any other song, sung by anyone else. Parents always have their voice with them and can use it to comfort, soothe, and play with their child for years to come. Parents have the opportunity prenatally to give their baby a gift that becomes a gift for them as well.
Singing to the baby before and after birth is a lovely and very special thing to do. Would you consider introducing this ritual to your students, clients and patients? Have you already done so? How has it been received? Do you have any stories about parents who have practiced this connection? Please share in the comments section, I would love to hear about it. If we all get the word out to expectant families, it could have a very positive impact.

Take enough yoga classes and you'll eventually hear one of your teachers quote from the Yoga Sutra, which is the guidebook of classical, or raja (royal), yoga. Written at least 1,700 years ago, it's made up of 195 aphorisms (sutras), or words of wisdom. But do you know anything about Patanjali, the person who supposedly compiled these verses?
The truth is that nobody really knows much—not even exactly when the sage lived. Some practitioners believe he lived around the second century BCE and also wrote significant works on Ayurveda (the ancient Indian system of medicine) and Sanskrit grammar, making him something of a Renaissance man. But based on their analyses of the language and the teaching of the sutras, modern scholars place Patanjali in the second or third century CE and ascribe the medical essays and grammar to various other Patanjalis.
Like many tales about the world's spiritual heroes, the story of Patanjali's birth has assumed mythic dimensions. One version relates that in order to teach yoga on earth, he fell from heaven in the form of a little snake, into the upturned plans (a gesture known as anjali) of his virgin mother, Gonika, herself a powerful yogini. Here he's regarded as an incarnation of the thousand-headed serpent-king named Remainder (Shesha) or Endless (Ananta), whose coils are said to support the god Vishnu.
It seems odd to us, in this time of superstar teachers with their eponymous schools of So-and-So Yoga, that so little is known about Patanjali. But anonymity is typical of the great sages of ancient India. They recognized that their teaching was the outcome of a cooperative group effort that spanned several generations, and they refused to take credit for themselves, often attributing their work to some other, older teacher.

Much of State Senate District 15 -- stretching across south Queens from Howard Beach through Middle Village to Maspeth -- is a serene landscape with three- and four-story brick buildings intermingled among trees. The parks that dot the district are filled with animated conversation in a variety of languages. And throughout the district one sees buildings and signs bearing the Addabbo name.
For 34 of the past 49 years, an Addabbo family member has served District 15 either in the City Council or at the state or national level. Democrat Joseph Addabbo Jr., son of former U.S. Rep. Joseph Addabbo Sr., is currently seeking reelection to the State Senate after winning the seat from 20-year incumbent Serphin Maltese in 2008.
His opponent, Republican Anthony Como, also has deep roots in the district. He has been a south Queens resident his entire life, worked at the Queens district attorney's office, served briefly on the City Council and was on Maltese's staff for several years.
"Como has great name recognition," said Steven Stites, whose media consulting firm does work for many Queens Republicans. "He was the only Republican who would really have a chance to pick this seat up."
And while there is inherent difficulty in taking down a well-known -- and generally well-liked -- incumbent, the Republicans and special interest groups have targeted this as a winnable election. Both the powerful Real Estate Board and the Senate GOP have put their financial weight behind the election in hopes of swinging the Senate back to the Republicans. Currently the Democrats hold a 32-30 margin in the chamber, and Republicans think District 15, which has a history of voting conservatively despite a 3-to-2 ratio of registered Democrats to Republicans, could help give them control.
Como has focused on connecting Addabbo to spending and tax and fee increases in Albany, even running a TV spot that charges, "124. That's how many times State Sen. Joe Addabbo raised taxes in just two years in office."
Addabbo is running on his record as a senator who is available "24/7" -- he likes to call his constituents "my people."
The Gay Marriage Vote
A small wave of surprise washed over the room after Addabbo simply said "no."
Many expected that, as a Democrat, Addabbo would say "yes" when it came time to vote last December on a bill that would have legalized same-sex marriage. As the first of only eight Democrats who voted against the bill, Addabbo was seen as setting the tone for the rest of the roll call.
Citing his philosophy of "listening to my people," Addabbo later said he decided to go against the party to be in line with his socially conservative district. While the vote lost Addabbo the financial support of the gay community -- which had backed his 2008 campaign -- it may help him on Nov. 2.
"[The vote] made it difficult for Republicans to make this a values campaign," Stites said. "It cost him a little bit of skin, but you have to govern from the center in this district. Most people on paper are Democrats, but they're definitely conservative."
Instead, Como has attacked Addabbo on his record on fees and taxes, painting him as unfriendly to businesses. In response, Addabbo proposed ways to curb government spending and lower costs for individuals and businesses.
Boosting Business
In many ways, district 15 is a patchwork of different ethnicities and characters. But, Addabbo said, "I can go into any part of the district and talk about jobs. Job security and job stability."
As in much of Queens, most of the jobs come from small businesses. Como, though cites reports that say the tax climate in New York for these mom and pop stores is the worst in the nation.
"This is a time where we've had a record number of closings of in the neighborhood," Como said.
Como has criticized Addabbo's record of working with small businesses, pointing to the Business Council of New York State's rating him toward the bottom on its list of "Business Friendly" state senators. The Business Council, however, almost exclusively endorses GOP candidates.
"I always say that my record speaks for itself," Addabbo said. "We're not always going to agree, meaning myself and maybe the Business Council. But the idea here is that my door is always open. They have not really reached out to me to say, 'hey let's work together.' I work with the people that want to work with me. I walk along Jamaica Avenue, Metropolitan Avenue, Myrtle Avenue talking to small businesses and asking, 'What's going to help you?'"
Addabbo has keyed in on trying to reduce business costs. Offering free energy audits is one example.
"We've seen some of our local businesses save anywhere from 17 to 30 percent on their energy costs by opting into these programs," Addabbo said. He also promoted two job fairs -- with a third on Nov. 12 -- that, he said, have brought over 100 recruiters to the area each time. Local unions, such as SEIU 32BJ, support Addabbo.
Como, who is backed by the National Federation of Independent Business, said the taxes Addabbo has supported overshadow all his other efforts.
"My opponent walks around on the avenue talking about we're going to do this and then he bashes them over the head with these new taxes," Como said.
Aside from lower taxes, Como proposes an increase in microloans to new and existing businesses, citing successful repayment rates of over 90 percent from both start-up and existing businesses.
"I'm not saying we're going to throw the government's money away," he said, "but we have to encourage businesses."
Both candidates agree that the government should provide tax incentives to employers that hire in order to create jobs and boost business.
The Aqueduct Report
Addabbo has turned to Aqueduct -- a thoroughbred racetrack in Ozone Park -- both for his job fairs and as a possible source on employment in the district. But now his involvement with the project could backfire.
Last week the state inspector general issued a report charging that the bidding to build a casino at Aqueduct was riddled with improprieties. In particular, the report found one bidder marshaled funds for the state Democratic Senate Campaign committee and cited two of Addabbo's fellow senators -- John Sampson and Malcolm Smith, both members of the Senate Democratic leadership -- for possible violations of law.
Addabbo maintains his innocence and said he did not have influence over who got the contract.
Como questions Addabbo's claims that he did not know about the flawed and possibly illegal process. "He never came clean about it," Como said. He had a chance. I hate to say it, but there's only one of two ways. Either he was in on it or he didn't know what was going on. Either way, it's disgusting and appalling. Sleep at the wheel and you're in on it."
Addabbo estimated that the track's facelift could bring in 1,000 construction jobs and 800 post-construction jobs.
"I wanted to save Aqueduct as a race track," Addabbo said. "So I encouraged my leadership to get a decision made. We fought through a flawed process. We corrected the process and in just two years, we got this project started. People understand that I know the need for jobs."
Losing Hospitals
A common refrain for Como when discussing Addabbo is "too little too late." It's a phrase that he uses when the issue of hospital closings and health care comes up. District 15 has seen two hospitals close in the past two years. Como said he has personally experienced times when emergency medical workers do not know where to take patients.
"We have residents who now don't have hospitals in their area and have to be rushed and wait a long time to be seen in the emergency room," Como said.
Addabbo is quick to point out that the problem "didn't happen overnight. For years, those who were in power prior to me were letting this go," he said.
Addabbo rattles off a list of things he has done to fill the gaps in health care: health fairs for residents to get free check ups, free mammography vans, eye and blood tests at senior centers. Going forward, he believes that the state has finally gotten serious about cutting Medicaid fraud and he hopes it wants to continue this.
Still, Como insists that Addabbo voted against legislation to curtail Medicaid fraud and had mistaken priorities, spending too much on Medicaid and health care for prison inmates, while leaving others uncovered.
Out and In
For a long time, Como wavered about whether to challenge Addabbo. The Queens GOP made it clear they wanted him to run, pledging large amounts of money. Despite the courtship, Como said no. Many believed he would seek to be executive director of the Board of Elections instead.
Within 30 hours of deciding against the campaign, though, Como reneged and decided to run. He has hit other bumps along the way, though. His effort to get on the Independence Party line failed, and a move to create a Tax Cuts Now ballot line came to naught when he made a mistake in the paperwork.
This does not appear to have hurt his fundraising, though. As of the 32-day filing deadline before the election, Como had $113,700 on hand, closing a $66,000 gap in a matter of months. Addabbo had $45,100 as of the last filing deadline. Como grew his monetary lead last week as well when the Senate GOP donated $100,000 to his campaign.

But the entity to go after x264 would be the MPEG-LA. They have not shown this kind of behavior in the past 10 years or so, I do not expect they will in the future.

Complete nonsense of course. Microsoft could also try to go after Linux to 'get at Google'.

Well, we can turn the tables around and expose that they do use FFmpeg and x264, together with some proof if need be. That should settle these silly matters of secrecy. Diego

Andrew Fabella, are you out there?
Please report to post-op at Keck Hospital of USC early Monday morning.
I'm coming back to have the other knee done.
That's right, folks, I'm kicking off the new year by getting a partial right knee replacement because my medial cartilage is cottage cheese and I'm bone on bone, just like I was on the left knee. I need to be in top shape this year because I've got mayoral candidates to chase and a 9-year-old daughter who's already too much for me to handle on the tennis courts.
Last August, the surgery was a breeze, but I had a little surprise in post-op. A heart arrhythmia was a bigger problem than anyone knew, and my ticker went on strike for half a minute or so. Fabella, a nurse, saw me flat-line and started chest compressions, which brought me out of sudden cardiac arrest.
Some readers have questioned my sanity in going back for more, but I feel pretty good about it. As several doctors have pointed out, my knee problem may have saved my life, revealing a condition for which I now have a pacemaker.

A computed tomography (CT) scan of the orbit is an imaging method that uses x-rays to create detailed pictures of the eye sockets (orbits), eyes and surrounding bones.
Alternative Names
CT scan – orbital; Eye CT scan; Computed tomography scan – orbit
How the Test is Performed
You lie on a narrow table that slides into the center of the CT scanner. Only your head is placed inside the CT scanner.
You may be allowed to rest your head on a pillow.
Once you are inside the scanner, the machine's x-ray beam rotates around you.
A computer creates separate images of the body area, called slices. These images can be stored, viewed on a monitor, or printed on film. The computer can create three-dimensional models of the body area by stacking the slices together.
You must lie still during the exam, because movement causes blurred images. You may be told to hold your breath for short periods.
The actual scan takes about 2 minutes. The entire process takes about 15 minutes.
How to Prepare for the Test
- You will be asked to remove jewelry and wear a hospital gown during the study.
- If you weigh more than 300 pounds, find out if the CT machine has a weight limit. Too much weight can cause damage to the scanner's working parts.
Certain exams require a special dye, called contrast, to be delivered into the body before the test starts. Contrast helps certain areas show up better on the x-rays.
- Contrast can be given through a vein (IV) in your hand or forearm. If contrast is used, you may also be asked not to eat or drink anything for 4 – 6 hours before the test.
- Let your doctor know if you have ever had a reaction to contrast. You may need to take medications before the test in order to safely receive this substance.
- Before receiving the contrast, tell your health care provider if you take the diabetes medication metformin (Glucophage) because you may need to take extra precautions.
- Before the scan, let your health care provider know if you have poor kidney function. This is because the contrast may not be able to be used.
How the Test will Feel
Some people may have discomfort from lying on the hard table.
Contrast given through an IV may cause a slight burning sensation. You may also have a metallic taste in the mouth and a warm flushing of the body. These sensations are normal and usually go away within a few seconds.
Why the Test is Performed
This test is helpful for diagnosing diseases that affect the following areas:
Blood vessels
Eye muscles
Nerves supplying the eyes (optic nerves)
An orbit CT scan may also be used to detect:
Abscess (infection) of the eye area
Broken eye socket bone
Foreign object in the eye socket
What Abnormal Results Mean
- Bleeding
- Broken eye socket bone
Graves disease
- Infection
CT scans and other x-rays are strictly monitored and controlled to make sure they use the least amount of radiation. The risk associated with any individual scan is very low. The risk increases as numerous additional studies are performed.
In some cases, a CT scan may still be done if the benefits greatly outweigh the risks. For example, it can be more risky not to have the exam, especially if your health care provider thinks you might have cancer.
The most common type of contrast given into a vein contains iodine. If a person with an iodine allergy is given this type of contrast, nausea, sneezing, vomiting, itching, or hives may occur.
If you absolutely must be given such contrast, your doctor may choose to treat you with antihistamines (such as Benadryl) or steroids before the test.
The kidneys help filter the iodine out of the body. If you have kidney disease or diabetes, you should be closely monitored for kidney problems after this test. If you have diabetes or have kidney disease, talk to your health care provider before the test about your risks.
Before receiving the contrast, tell your health care provider if you take the diabetes medication metformin (Glucophage) because you may need to take extra precautions and stop the medication for 48 hours after the test.
In rare cases, the dye can cause a life-threatening allergic response called anaphylaxis. If you have any trouble breathing during the test, you should tell the scanner operator right away. Scanners come with an intercom and speakers, so the operator can hear you at all times.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is also called benign prostatic hypertrophy. It's when the prostate gland becomes very large and may cause problems passing urine. BPH is not cancer, and is a common part of aging.
The prostate gland is found only in males. It's located in front of the rectum and below the bladder. It wraps around the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. The prostate's job is to make some of the fluid that protects and nourishes sperm cells in semen. This makes the semen more liquid.
BPH can raise PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels. PSA is made by the prostate and can be measured with a blood test. An increased PSA level does not mean you have cancer, but the higher the PSA level, the higher the chance of having cancer.
Some of the symptoms of BPH and prostate cancer are the same, but BPH is not cancer and does not develop into prostate cancer.
The cause of BPH is not known. The prostate goes through 2 main periods of growth. In early puberty, it doubles in size. Then, around age 25, the prostate starts to grow again and continues to grow throughout most of a man's life.
The continuing growth of the prostate may not cause problems until much later in life, when the second period of growth may result in BPH. It is a common problem for men starting in their 60s, and it is more likely for men in their 70s and 80s to have some symptoms of BPH.
As the prostate grows, it presses against the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. This interferes with urination. At the same time, the bladder wall becomes thicker and irritated, and begins to contract, even when it contains only small amounts of urine. This can cause more frequent urination. These changes cause the bladder muscle to weaken. It may not empty fully and leave some urine behind. This leads to symptoms.
The following are the most common symptoms of BPH:
These problems may lead to one or more of the following if BPH is not treated:
The symptoms of BPH may look like other conditions or medical problems. Always talk with a healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Diagnosing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in its earlier stages can lower the risk of complications. Your healthcare provider will review your medical history and do a physical exam. Other tests may include:
With time, BPH symptoms usually need some kind of treatment. When the prostate is just mildly enlarged, treatment may not be needed. In fact, research has shown that, in some mild cases, some of the symptoms of BPH get better without treatment. The need to start treatment will be decided by your healthcare provider after careful evaluation of your symptoms. Regular check-ups are important, and they're needed to watch for developing problems.
Treatment for BPH may include:
To remove only the enlarged tissue that is pressing against the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body), with the rest of the inside prostate left intact. Types of surgery often include:
These may include:
Management of BPH may include:
Medical Oncology

Hello all,
I just reinstalled windows xp on my main system drive, a 110 gig WD. Before that, I backed up everything i needed on a maxtor sata 300 gig drive. After the reinstall, however, the 300 gig backup drive doesn't come up under my computer. I did not format or partition it, and I can see it under computer management. It is under healthy and active status, and the space used is accurate. The only options that are not grayed out are properties, help, and delete partition. I am not going to delete partition because i have some critical files on that drive.
I looked up on the internet about this issue, and the only thing i found was to install my sata controller driver, but there is no unknown device in device manager. How would I go about installing that if it would help?
Motherboard is MSI K8N Neo Platinum. I downloaded the nforce driver and installed everything but the ide driver, because it has caused problems in the past.
If someone could please help me, they would be my hero.

PEPPERELL -- Climate Summer came to town on July 4 to join in Pepperell's festivities and to raise awareness about the natural gas pipeline proposed to come through Pepperell.
Climate Summer is a team of five college students that has dedicated its summer to partaking in local efforts to halt the pipeline plans. On the team are Tuula Perry, from Maui, Hawaii; Rachel Eckles, from Dallas, Texas; Gonzalo Crivelli, from Miami, Florida; Nicholas Jansen, from Rives Junction, Michigan; and Jana Wilkes, from Arden Hills, Minnesota. They travel by only bike with no support and expect to have biked 1,000 miles by the end of the summer. Right now they are at 220 miles.
On the 5th, the team had a table at the Pepperell Farmers Market, asking concerned locals to fill out a postcard to Governor Deval Patrick. These postcards say "No Gas Tariff" and the team plans to collect as many as possible over the summer and then hand deliver them to the governor.
The gas tariff would be part of the plan for building the pipeline to help fund the project because from the governor's point of view this pipeline would benefit the people. In reality, the majority of people in the towns that would be affected by the pipeline's construction would receive little to no benefit from the pipeline, let alone additional taxes to help pay for it. Experts are now looking into whether or not the pipeline is even needed and Climate Summer riders are saying we definitely don't need it if we ever want to escape from a nation reliant on dirty fossil fuels.
Later that day, the team was in the Pepperell 4th of July parade and walked its bikes alongside the pipeline float. "Being a part of Pepperell for the parade was wonderful," said rider Jana. Nicholas. He "enjoyed seeing the float spark conversation about the pipeline throughout the crowds watching the parade."
During the group's past few days in Pepperell, members have gotten to enjoy many of the perks of the town. They went hiking through Pepperell Springs with some members of the Nashoba Conservation Trust and got to enjoy the refreshing Heald Lake afterwards. They also have visited a few landowners' homes who are abutters on the proposed route of the pipeline and on Tuesday, you may have seen them on the side of the street by the rail trail, holding up signs saying "honk if you are opposed to the pipeline."
This group has been all around town working to raise awareness about the pipeline and is a very concerned and determined bunch.
The group gathered with members of the anti-pipeline community from towns all over to connect and share stories. Each person had such a unique reason to be involved and their stories showed that although people may come from different backgrounds and upbringings, issues like this pipeline transcend all differences.
As Linn Clark from Pepperell said, "The great thing about Pepperell is that when there is something to be done, we get a group of people together and they do it."
After the success of the Nashoba Conservation Trust in funding Pepperell Springs nine years ago, and the attention this issue is getting from people across the country, the attendees of the Climate Summer's event felt that people have the power to stop this pipeline.
Climate Summer
Climate Summer is a summer internship program for college students, graduate students and recent graduates. Climate Summer riders travel exclusively by bicycle in small teams across New England, spending approximately one week in a community before biking on to the next. While in each town, riders connect with community leaders who are actively addressing society's addiction to fossil fuels. Our community partners are fighting new fossil fuel infrastructure and crafting local solutions that strengthen communities. Riders bring with them a movement-building perspective, sharing skills with and learning from those they meet and helping to highlight the important work of local organizations in the media and through our own social media work. -- Better Future Project

Nicole's SAG hair
Nicole Kidman was definitely a contender for SAG best in Vivienne Westwood. But even if you can get past the lips, can you really get past the hair? Gwyneth Paltrow's straightening iron met Keith Urban. Had it been flat against her head, perhaps it wouldn't be so weird. But there's a humped tease on either side of her part and I can't understand how that happens. To someone like Nicole Kidman. How do you do this to Nicole Kidman?
But I do like Nicole Kidman, the nerd. Check her out being super lame behind Tom Hooper on the carpet. This is what happens when Keith Urban isn't with her and she's not trying to show us that she's so loved all the time. And I prefer it. Let me see that awkward geek who doesn't know what to do with her hands, who can't help but fill the moment with a bad joke. I think I could love her.

Paul Cully
RICHIE McCAW has thrown another handful of gunpowder into the mix for Bledisloe III, revealing he told the New Zealand Rugby Union the Graham Henry-led ticket was the better option than appointing Robbie Deans after the All Blacks' 2007 World Cup failure.
In his autobiography The Open Side, which was released in New Zealand yesterday, McCaw says he developed ''a strong preference'' for the reappointment of Henry, Steve Hansen and Wayne Smith as a working unit over his former Crusaders mentor Deans, and had question marks about Deans's ability to work collaboratively.
''Robbie doesn't appear to want to be challenged by his assistants and won't allow the kind of full-on debate that Ted encourages with Smith and Smith,'' McCaw wrote in a frank chapter dedicated to the Henry v Deans issue. ''Robbie's approach is to say, 'This is what we're doing,' then convince people that's the way it's got to be. He's very good at that.
''But when you look at the record of Robbie's assistant coaches, there's quite a lot of turnover and fallout. Robbie's intransigence and reluctance to delegate might have been a factor.''
By contrast Henry's ability to present his team to the NZRU board made his decision a simple one, McCaw wrote. ''The applications in front of the NZRU are telling. Robbie hasn't named his assistants, though [then Auckland coach] Pat Lam has been mentioned in some reports. But Pat hasn't coached at Super 14 level yet. So the question actually is: Graham Henry, Wayne Smith and Steve Hansen, or Robbie Deans and unknown assistant coaches? That's a critical difference right there.
''So when [NZRU chairman] Steve Tew phones me for an informal catch-up on this and that, I tell him I'm happy to work with either, but I do have a view on which option might be better for the All Blacks.''
''When I see that Robbie hasn't really nailed anyone down to back him, I wonder whether Robbie's gone into the process believing that he hasn't really got a fair shot and is just going through the motions,'' McCaw wrote.McCaw's process of evaluation is an indication to how conflicted he felt between Deans and Henry, and also speculates that Deans' failure to present an assistant team might also have reflected a belief that both coaches held - that the other had the job sewn up.
McCaw also reveals other insights about the Wallabies coach, including his difficulty in telling players why they were dropped and the unhappiness it caused at the Crusaders during the 2004 season.
''So, before I took on the captaincy in 2005, [former Crusaders and All Blacks captain] Reuben Thorne and I asked for a sit-down with Robbie. We discussed the situation, told him that some players were unhappy and why,'' McCaw wrote.
''It turned into a very human moment, when Robbie opened up and said that telling players they weren't selected was part of the job he found most difficult. Once the problem was identified, he addressed it in a professional way and improved that aspect of his communication with the players.''
In his book, McCaw also revealed that his foot injury at last year's Rugby World Cup was so bad that he came close to limping out of their semi-final win over Australia.
The 31-year-old, who became the first player to chalk up 100 Test wins after beating the Springboks 32-16 at the weekend, says he battled intense pain in the semi-final.
''During the warm-up I didn't feel it too much, but five minutes into the game I felt it again. Something letting go. A clunk or pop or crack. The pain came back.
''It was sore all the way through the semi, but only really sore when the whistle went. One of the most challenging bits was running up the tunnel at half time. Getting on and off the field was complete agony,'' McCaw says.
McCaw says he had told the team doctor, Deb Robinson, he would play as long as he could but if the pain got too great and it was affecting his decision-making he would quit.
He refused to have the foot X-rayed because he knew the extent of the injury and relied on painkillers to get him through.

The crowd at New York's legendary Comedy Cellar is always primed for high-profile drop-ins like Louis C.K. and Jerry Seinfeld. But this was different. Dave Chappelle was in New York — and on stage.
Chappelle, one of the country's most sought-after yet reclusive comedians after walking away in 2005 from his still-influential Comedy Central show, spent three recent nights onstage at the Cellar, sometimes joined by friends, including Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Marlon Wayans and Paul Mooney.
In jeans, a white long-sleeve T-shirt and black jacket, his hands frequently reaching for the cigarettes he's known to chain-smoke, Chappelle captivated the audience, many of them aspiring comedians. And during an exchange with Rock, he made news when he joked about the two of them doing a long-rumored tour together.
PHOTOS: Dave Chappelle - Career in pictures
"You should come down to Palm Beach," Rock reportedly said to Chappelle.
"After next Tuesday," Chappelle said, "I'm free for like 11 years."
Chappelle has been known to pop up at comedy clubs for last-minute, unannounced shows, usually taking the stage well after midnight. But his latest three nights at the Comedy Cellar seemed the comedian's most serious flirtation with a more permanent return to the stand-up circuit.

I went over to Paying Myself and saw she had written a post called "I'm Fabulous Because..."
I love positive posts :)
Turns out Fabulous Savings has a contest on right now for Canadians - They're giving away a free Tablet2!
You can look for a secret page every day for an entry, and/or blog about what makes you fabulous.
I'm going with route #2.
So, without further ado, this is what I think makes me fabulous:
- I graduated high school a year early so I could spend a year in Europe without being behind my friends when I came back.
- I can break down complicated concepts and teach them to my friends and family with relative ease.
- I was the first person in my immediate or extended family to obtain a university degree.
- I can hold my own in a VERY male dominated industry.
- I bought a home in the city, by myself, at 25.
- I'm at ease working in dangerous environments. (my facebook has a picture of me in SCBA gear in a sour gas environment)
- I'm good at organizing fundraisers for worthwhile charities.
- I volunteer. Whether it's for a food bank fundraiser or the Olympics, I love to do it.
- I rock steel toed boots and a hard hat as easily as I do dresses and heels.
- I completed a sprint triathlon last year with next to no training. (note: training recommended)
That's my take anyway. Some people may agree, some may disagree, but this is my semi-sleepy list of reasons I think I'm fabulous. How about all of you? What makes you fabulous?

Amitabh Bachchan, (born October 11, 1942, Allahabad, India), Indian film actor, perhaps the most popular star in the history of India's cinema, known primarily for his roles in action films.
Bachchan, the son of the renowned Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, attended Sherwood College in Nainital and the University of Delhi. He worked as a business executive in Calcutta (Kolkata) and performed in theatre before embarking on a film career. Bachchan made his big-screen debut in Saat Hindustani (1969; "Seven Indians") and achieved his first success with Zanjeer (1973; "Chain"). A string of action films followed, including Deewar (1975; "Wall"), Sholay (1975; "Embers"), and Don (1978). Nicknamed "Big B," Bachchan personified a new type of action star in Indian films, that of the "angry young man," rather than the romantic hero. He was often compared to Clint Eastwood—although, unlike Eastwood and other American action stars, Bachchan was renowned for his versatility, and many of his roles showcased his talents at singing, dancing, and comedy.
By the end of the 1970s, Bachchan had appeared in more than 35 films and was regarded as India's top film star. His popularity was such that he became something of a cultural phenomenon, drawing large crowds of screaming fans wherever he went. A near-fatal accident on the set of his film Coolie in 1982 touched off a national prayer vigil for his recovery. His subsequent films, however, did poorly at the box office, and Bachchan entered politics at the encouragement of his friend Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. In 1984 he was elected to India's parliament by an overwhelming majority, but he resigned his seat in 1989 after being implicated in a bribery scandal that toppled Gandhi's government.
Bachchan returned to film and won the National Award for his portrayal of a mafia don in Agneepath (1990; "Path of Fire"). He later headed Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd., an entertainment venture that specialized in film production and event management. The business was plagued by financial difficulties, however, and Bachchan eventually returned to performing. His later movies include the crime drama Hum (1991); Mohabbatein (2000; Love Stories), a musical that was a major box-office success; and Black (2005), which was inspired by Helen Keller's life story. In the drama Paa (2009), he played a boy who suffers from an aging disease similar to progeria. By the early 21st century, Bachchan had appeared in more than 175 Bollywood films, and at age 70 he made his Hollywood debut as a minor character in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby (2013).
In addition, from 2000 to 2006 he hosted the television game show Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Indian version of the American and British hit Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? His easygoing nature and charisma helped make the show one of India's top television programs.

The Brandeis fencing team, fresh off meeting and practicing with Olympian Tim Morehouse '00 the day before, produced three gold medals and three silvers of their own at the 2008 New England Intercollegiate Fencing Conference Fall Invitational.
On the women's side, Brandeis had competitors reach the finals
in all three disciplines. Sophomores Anna Hanley
(Medford, Mass.) and Emma Larkin (Montclair, N.J.)
won the saber and epee competitions, while senior Jessica
Newhall (E. Falmouth, Mass.) was runner-up in the foil.
Hanley went undefeated in the meet, going 6-0 in pool play and
defeating her opponents by a combined 25 points to earn the top
seed in the elimination tournament. She then defeated the
tournament's third seed, 15-14, in the finals to earn the win.
Larkin was 5-0 in pool play to earn the fourth seed in the
elimination tournament, winning the title over the 11th seed by a
15-13 score. Newhall also captured the top seed with a 6-0
performance and +28 differential. She won three of her four direct

Clos was just 3-3 in pool competition, but won six straight matches in direct elimination play, including a 15-13 win over the #3 seed and a 15-13 win over #4 seed Bedor in the finals. Bedor was undefeated until meeting his teammate, going 6-0 in pool play and winning his first five direct elimination matches.

Senior All-American Will Friedman (Newton, Mass.) was the runner-up in the foil competition. Friedman was 5-0 in pool play with a +22 differential, earning the top seed in the direct-elimination bouts. Until the finals, his toughest bout was in the first round, when he took a 15-12, decision. Friedman fell to a fencer from Brown, 15-12, in the championship match.
For their efforts, Bedor, Clos, Hanley and Larkin all claimed UAA Fencer of the Week honors.

Lipscomb's Lady Bisons flexed their collective scoring muscles with a 77-34 exhibition win over Spalding Saturday afternoon at Allen Arena.
"We got to work on a lot of things," said Lipscomb Coach Frank Bennett. "We got to change some defenses. Hopefully, we built a little confidence getting used to game conditions. Games are always a little different than practice. You and simulate everything in practice."
All 13 Lady Bisons played in the exhibition game, the final regular season tune-up. Twelve players scored at least two points.
"With the way injuries are you never know what is going to happen," said Bennett. "You have to have a lot of people ready to play. It's good for them to learn from the game situations as we go over them the next couple of days in practice."
Four finished with double figures _ Dana Carrigan and Miriam McAlister both scored 11, the game-high. Katie Beth Pate and Penny Jones both added 10.
Jillian Partin came close to a double-double with a game-high 11 rebounds and nine points.
Pate blocked six shots.
"I was real pleased with our unselfishness," said Bennett. "We were looking for each other. The first half we were dribbling too much. It was more of an individual effort. But in the second half there was better team play, especially better team defense."
No one played less than 10 minutes for the Lady Bisons who held a 43-18 lead at halftime.
"We are trying to build some quality depth," said Bennett. "We are trying to get where we don't waste possessions by taking a bad shot, making an unforced turnover or giving up something easy to an opponent on defense instead of making them earn it. We want to keep intense pressure for 40 minutes. We want to keep an offensive tempo every possession."

Anyways, this so called semolina cake or Handvo is spongy on the inside and crispy on the edges. It is filled with variety of vegetables giving some texture and bits to bite into. It is light, filling and easy to assemble with less fuss. Handvo hails from the Gujarati community which used so lots of pulses and this is Anjum's cheat's version of it. No soaking and grinding of pulses is required here unlike the authentic handvo. You may use any vegetables you have in hand like courgettes, cabbage, beans, peas, carrots, spinach, fresh fenugreek leaves etc. You can also give it in your kid's lunch boxes.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
serves 6-8
N.B: The orangey colour of the cake was not very appealing to me. The chilli powder, which is dark deep red and the turmeric imparted that colour vibrant yellow colour to tehe cake! I would definitely be reducing or not even using them both next time I make this.

Harris Corp. saw its revenue grow by $50 million in the first quarter of its fiscal 2012, hitting $1.46 million, compared to $1.41 million a year earlier. The company reported higher orders to start 2012 with its RF Communications unit winning several key contracts for tactical wideband networking. Harris also said that its Integrated Network Solutions won new contracts including several multi-year health care contracts with the U.S. government. Net income dropped in the first quarter with the company reporting $122 million, compared to $164 million last year. Last year's numbers were helped by $235 million in expedited shipments of tactical radios for military vehicles, the company said. During the first quarter of 2012, Harris repurchased $400 million in shares under a new $1 billion share repurchase authorization. The purchases reduced Harris' outstanding shares by 8.6 percent. Harris' Integrated Network Solutions unit saw its revenue reach $554 million, an increase of 26 percent compared to the quarter a year earlier. The increase was primarily from the acquisitions of Schlumberger's Global Connective Services business in April 2011 and the acquisition of CapRock Communications in July 2010.
Adjusting for the acquisitions, revenue grew 5 percent, the company said. Harris, of Melbourne, Fla., is ranked No. 13 on Washington Technology's 2011 Top 100 list of the largest government contractors.

Continuing with Heward's journal, matching progress to our Intrepid Four:
Paddle Day 8
Friday Apl 2d 1790. Could not get an Indian to pass the Portage but engaged one to meet us at the Fork of the River to conduct us this Post seems to furnish good small peltrie. Sanscraint seems to have about 12 packs. Wrote to Mr.Robertson & left with Sanscraint to be sent tomorrow. Set off about 10 oClock our Course up the River nearly West Nore West the Current for about 2 Leagues exceeding Strong the banks high but the land dry & barren abounding with Black Oak & Fern our distance about 12 miles.
Campsite: Gallup Park at Ann Arbor?
Paddle Day 9
Saturday Apl 3rd 1790. parted the Weather fine Current not so strong as Yesterday the River much Streighter & the Course West Nore West the banks still high but the Land still of a barren kind being a Stony thin Soil with principally Red Oak to here there seems yet a Great Body of Water & a firm Gravelly Bottom too high yet for setting to advantage thus far to mid Day the course West & by North The River streighter & wider but from hence in the Summer there cannot be much Water there is now a fine gravelly bottom the Width of the River about 45 yds a strong Current but able to traverse with poles any where, our Distance about 25 miles & not yet come to the Forks. Encamped
Campsite: West end of Barton Pond?
Sunday April 4th 1790. Obliged to remain all Day a continual Rain. Went to look above but could not yet see the Forks (that means he walked up the Indian trail that follows the river) the Course at this place nearly West.
Paddle Day 10 - HUNTING FOR THE PORTAGE
Monday Apl 5th 1790. Continued our Rout the course nearly West & arrived at a Villiage age at Mid day ( Delhi Mills?) The Water still strong & on a flat Gravelly Bottom the Country nearly as before. about 5 oClock arrived at the Forks which from the River on a West course divides one branch South West & the other North West that of the South West being our Course (bad mistake!) we proceeded about four miles up & encamped near where we were to make a Mark for our Indian. I went up as far as where the Squas from the River Huron had passed where the Mark was to be made but saw no Indian (I have never been able to figure out this entry in his journal...what Squas? He never mentioned squaws before...neither had he said anything about a mark). this Branch is a strong deep Current but narrow the Course nearly South by West & the country barren as before.
Campsite: "About four miles up" Mill Creek would be about where Mill Creek crosses under I 94.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Grace Adofoli describes herself as an "old soul." As a first generation college student, coming from a family of modest means, Grace's passion for learning and desire for bettering herself has led her to dream big her entire life.
Originating from Ghana, Africa, Grace credits much of her success to her parents. Initially her mother, Celes-Christy, won a lottery system opportunity to come to the United States. Celes-Christy chose this option ultimately in order for her children to receive a better life and access to an education and came to the U.S. eight years prior to Grace and the rest of her family. Grace's mother had been a nurse in Ghana, but her certification wasn't valid in the U.S., so she worked 4-5 jobs to support the family. At one point, the family of six lived in a one-bedroom apartment.
"My parents served as phenomenal mentors for me. They taught me how to work hard to reach my goals," says Grace.
Adofoli first heard about UW-River Falls from an E.S.L. teacher in high school.
"Until that time I had only considered universities in Minneapolis and St. Paul. I decided to take a chance and visit the campus. Stepping outside my comfort zone was the best thing I could have done," she says. "UW-River Falls opened my eyes to new possibilities and the doors of opportunities seemed limitless and endless."
Upon being admitted to UWRF, Grace had intentions of a pre-med major, a vision she and her family had always had for her: to be a doctor. It wasn't long before Grace realized this wasn't the direction she wanted to go. She had learned that she was truly devoted to helping people in other ways and was more drawn to psychology. Grace was nervous about telling her parents that she was switching her major, but in the end they laughed and told her, "We kind of saw it coming."
Grace, a psychology major with a biology minor, has an abundance of achievements while studying at UWRF. Her involvements include being former President of the Black Student Union for two years, a member of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, SURSCA (Society for Undergraduate Research Scholarly and Creative Activity), Psychology Club, and a student representative on the Faculty Senate Diversity and Inclusivity Committee. Grace is also a McNair scholar.
The McNair Scholars Program was designed to change the academic, professional, and personal outcome of first generation, low-income talented college students and further propel them to go on and achieve a master's and Ph.D.
"It transformed me from a student to a scholar and helped me see the world three dimensionally. This program allowed me to pursue my interest in research and to date, I have been able to complete four-research projects with the help and guidance from the unbelievably committed faculty and staff here."
As one of the core parts of this program, Grace had the challenging, yet rewarding, opportunity to conduct a research project at Cornell University.
"My research project centered on the impact of information communication technology on Ghanaian women in higher education," says Grace.
As part of this research, Grace had the opportunity to study with the world-renowned scholar, Dr. Assie -Lumumba. The continuation of this summer research took her to Accra, Ghana, on the western coast of the continent of Africa, to do preliminary research on Ghanaian students experience with information communication at their universities.
"I know for a fact that being able to travel to Ghana would not have been possible without the help of the Hahn scholarship provided through the Foundation," Grace says.
Adofoli credits her success not only to her family, but to many programs and people on campus including the Academic Success Center, Student Support Services, and faculty members in the biology, psychology, and English departments. Her involvement with Student Life also contributed greatly to her development as a student at UWRF.
"It has been noted that knowledge is power. I truly believe all UWRF students have the knowledge and the capabilities to persevere beyond our imaginations. The future possibilities for me and many other students currently enrolled and incoming are endless," she says. "In order for these success stories to continue we are going to need to have people who have the heart to support the education of students like myself."
Grace's dream is that every student admitted to this university will have enough support to ease their financial disparities, so they may fully venture into their destiny.
"At UW-River Falls, you truly do have the opportunity to make your own destiny; it is truly where the free spirit prevails. You need to have a vision; if you don't have one, you need to develop one. And always dream big!" she says.

This is the second year for the downtown Oshkosh Chili Cook-off and it promises to be better than the last. I was pretty impressed with last years event, but they did run short of chili very early on. I think it may have been underestimated how much we love our chili and are so willing to try different types. I will suggest getting here right at 12:00 which is when sampling begins. Last year there was anything from cranberry chili to chocolate chili. I can't wait to find out what there is this year. This event was sponsored last year in hopes of continuing to support the Day By Day Warming Shelter in Downtown Oshkosh. Please make a difference in the community event by giving back.
Not only will you get to experience unique chili samples from over 30 amateur chefs, but local beers will also be on tap, along with a DJ and children's activities. This will also be the last outdoor Farmers Market for the year. The Farmers Market will go from 8:00-12:30 and sampling will begin at 12:00. So come on down Opera House Square on Saturday, October 26th in hopes to grow our downtown community. Sampling begins at 12:00.
There is still room to register if you think you have what it takes to win or just have fun. Register here.
Amateur judges will be awarding in categories of "Best Traditional Chili", Specialty Chili", and a "5 Alarm Chili".

A �soap opera all season� turns into a year for the records books
With every bounce of the ball and every made shot, it's history in the making for the South Walton Seahawks.
On Saturday night, the team defeated the defending state champions Ponce de Leon Pirates, 54-44, in the Girls Class 1A Basketball Regional Final. It earned the ladies a trip to Lakeland for the Final Four and the first-ever shot at a state title for any sport in the 10 years of the school�s existence.
The Seahawks left for the 7-hour bus ride to the state tournament Sunday afternoon.
"This means everything," said senior Seahawk guard Eve Heffron. "All the sweat and blood for four years and finally winning� We didn't let up.�
"And having their support means a lot," Heffron said of the pep band and student body who turned out en masse for Saturday's game and Sunday�s send-off.
South Walton Coach Kevin Craig went a step further, crediting the fan support as a big factor in the win.
"That home crowd, the student section and the band ... that got us over the edge," said South Walton Kevin Craig. "Ponce has a great team and they bring a great crowd. But our students really made the difference as far as extra energy goes."
Sitting in his office minutes after the victory, and surrounded by the many photos of past and current players, Coach Craig reminisced a moment.
"My first thoughts are Jenna Connley, Becky Suwak and Sam Jones that were here for the 0-25 season," said Craig, who is in his ninth year as head coach.
"Where we are now, to what they went through and they stuck with it. They didn't quit and they hung in there and they got this started and they believed in us," Craig added.
Following that 0-25 season, Craig led the Seahawks to a 12-14 finish his first year and then to the school�s first district title with a 24-6 record in 2006.
On Saturday, the Seahawks chalked up another first. With a 10-point win over Ponce de Leon they clinched a trip to the state tournament.
"This was just great for South Walton High School," Craig said. "I'm so happy for these kids because it's been a soap opera all season. It's just a bunch of sisters that have fought and scrapped with each other throughout the year. But when we get between the lines, it's the most unselfish team I've every coached. They don't care who scores; they just want to win."
And win they did Saturday night, despite falling behind early.
With less than three minutes to go in the first quarter, the Seahawks trailed 14-5. But in the last two minutes of the period, South Walton put up eight consecutive points with Destin's Katie Logan finishing the run with a long shot from the side to tie the game at 16-16.
Craig said he thought the girls might have been a little tight early on.
"We were trying to break the press by the book, the way I've been preaching to them," he said. "It wasn't working, so I finally said let's just go attack. And it just made them relax."
In the second quarter, the Seahawks outscored the Pirates 18 to nine for a 34-25 lead at the half.
Ponce de Leon managed to close it down to a two-point game in the third, but South Walton pulled away again in the last two-and-half minutes with two driving baskets from Heffron and a free throw by Tayler Menard for a 41-34 mark at the buzzer.
In the fourth, the Pirates again got it down to a two-point game with 1:35 left to play, but were forced to foul. The Seahawks went to the line five times hitting six of 10 tries. Kati Trejo put up the last basket for a 54-44 finish as Coach Craig threw his arms up in victory on the sidelines.
"Defense, free throws and rebounds" is what won it for us, said senior forward Menard. "Today we got to apply everything we've been working on. Fundamentals are what won it."
Even Craig couldn't single out one particular player.
"It was a total team effort," Craig said. "I know a lot of people say that, but it was."
All seven Seahawks that played put points on the board. Heffron led the way with 15, while Casey Perot checked in with 14 points. Trejo scored nine, Morgan Kennedy seven and Menard five. Logan and Mackenzie Perot each chipped in two.
"They refuse to lose," Craig said. "It's just an awesome feeling. I've been telling them for three years, that there's nothing like the feeling of knowing you are going to the Final Four ... there's nothing like it.
"We knew a year ago, we'd be playing this game on this night at home. We've talked about it, and the home court was the difference.
"It wasn't pretty at times, but as Mickey Englett said many years ago, 'winning ugly is the prettiest girl in town.' "

FDA sets new labeling regulations for gluten-free foods
In a long-awaited step toward accurate gluten-free food labeling, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released its definition of "gluten free" to be used by food manufacturers. The rule defines gluten free, in part, as having less than 20 parts per million of gluten.
"This is the final step in what has been a very long journey to improved food safety for individuals with celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders," says Alessio Fasano, MD, director of the Center for Celiac Research at MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC). "We welcome the new FDA regulations, which will bring us in line with gluten-free labeling regulations for millions of people around the world."
The new gluten-free labeling regulations were mandated as part
of the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004, which requires food manufacturers to list the eight major food allergens.
Wheat, one of those allergens, is a major source of gluten. In the autoimmune disorder of celiac disease, consumption of gluten sets off a reaction that damages the small intestine, leading to malabsorption of nutrients and an array of symptoms. For people with celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders, the gluten-free diet is a medical necessity, says Fasano.
"Accurate gluten-free labeling will help our patients stay safe in a world where gluten is included in many, many food products," says Fasano. "We're looking forward to working with the federal government, industry members, celiac support groups and health care colleagues to help translate this definition into improved shopping and living conditions for individuals with celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders."
Twenty parts per million (ppm) – or 20 parts of gluten per one million parts of a food – is an accepted standard in many parts of the world for products that are labeled gluten-free, says Fasano. "The evidence-based research published by our center, which has been confirmed by studies from colleagues around the world, conclusively supports the 20 ppm level as a suitable safety threshold for gluten-free products."
Research from the center has shown that 10 milligrams per day of gluten consumption is a safe level for the vast majority of individuals with celiac disease. This is the equivalent of about one-eighth of a teaspoon of flour, says the center's registered dietitian Pam Cureton, RD, LDN. "To put it in perspective, you would have to eat about 18 slices of gluten-free bread in one day to reach the daily 10 mg level of gluten consumption," says Cureton.
"Through the advocacy work of the Center for Celiac Research, the American Celiac Disease Alliance and other groups, parents of children with celiac disease and people of all ages with gluten-related disorders will be able to shop more safely for the food they need," says Ronald Kleinman, MD, MGHfC physician-in-chief.
