The men of Wabash honored their brothers for achievement in careers civic engagement, and in service to the College during Alumni Chapel, one of the many highlights of Homecoming on Saturday. The National Assocation of Wabash Men also welcomed two new members into their ranks as honorary alumni at the event, which serves as the NAWM's annual meeting.
NAWM President Greg Estell '85 opened the meeting, then introduced the College's 16th President, Gregory Hess.
"I wish hearty congratulations to all of today's award-winners," said Hess, enjoying the first Alumni Chapel of his young presidency. "You alumni are this College's epistles, and your commitment to your professions, communities, and this College are worthy of our praise and honor. All of you provide outstanding examples of the liberal arts in action for current Wabash students."
Estell then presented each of the alumni awards and citations, beginning with James R. Durham '64, who was named an Alumni Admissions Fellow.
"It's in Connecticut where you do the good work of 'spreading the fame of her honored name,'" Estell told Durham as he stood with President Hess on the Chapel stage. "For more than 15 years, you have been an active admissions volunteer. You have represented Wabash at more than a dozen college fairs in the last decade. You share stories about the influential relationships you had with your professors and you demonstrate in very real ways the life-changing impact Wabash professors have on their students."
Frederick A. Haase '71 was also named an Alumni Admissions Fellow. A Latin major, winner of the McLain Prize in Classics, and Phi Beta Kappa graduate, Haase earned a master's degree from Washington University and began teaching at Culver Military Academy in 1972, where he earned the Spivey Award as Culver's top teacher.
"We honor you today your commitment to recruiting young men who are right for Wabash," Estell said. "Your students see in you the excellent liberal arts education you received, and you model that education in all that you do."
Jeffrey A. Been '81 was recognized as an Alumni Career Services Fellow. Each summer, Been hires a Wabash student through the College's Small Business Internship Fund.
"Your empower him with rich experiences on par with law school students working in a business," Estell said. "You also host Wabash students in externships, and under your wise tutelage they receive the hands-on experiences and role modeling they need to achieve our highest expectations. This award honors your commitment to developing the skills of aspiring young attorneys, but you also work with the local alumni association, and are the College's go-to person for all things Louisville."
Ethan A. Olberding '99 received the Jeremy Robert Wright Young Alumnus Award, an honor given for the first time last year in honor of Jeremy Wright '96, who died while serving in Afghanistan in 2005. Olberding's parents were on hand to accept the award on his behalf as Estell read the citation: "The men of Wabash are honored to celebrate your accomplishments and pay tribute to you with the NAWM's highest honor, the Alumni Award of Merit. You were a star in the classroom—graduating with highest honors, summa cum laude. Now a Major and attending the highly selective Naval War College, you are one of a select few designated for much bigger leadership roles in our Army. Your commitment to building—not destroying—communities through the training of community leaders and police officers, and personal conversations with citizens is worthy of our highest praise. The respect you engender from your men runs deep because of your commitment to them, your family, and your faith."
John B. Goodrich '67 received the Fredrick J. Urbaska Civic Service Award: "You are an absolutely relentless Wabash recruiter and have helped more than 30 students find their way to the College, for which you received the Alumni Admissions Award," Estell said. "Over the years literally hundreds of Wabash men have benefited from scholarships provided by your family's Goodrich Trust. Your contributions to strengthening your hometown are equally impressive. You and your wife, Sarona, have generously contributed to hundreds of worthy causes through both the Portland Foundation and the Goodrich Family Foundation. You are proud of your community and have invested mightily in it."
Clarence A. Jackson Career Service Award winner Richard J Stephenson '62 was celebrated for his "exceptional generosity to a wide range of philanthropic causes through the Stephenson Family Foundation. "Not only have you given of your treasure," Estell said, "you have purposefully recruited young Wabash men for positions in your companies, including many who hold senior leadership posts."
James L. Amidon, Jr. '87 was recognized with the Frank W. Misch Alumni Service Award for his 26 years of extraordinary service to the College.
"Dick Ristine hired you before the ink had dried on your sheepskin diploma," Estell said. "Did he have any idea how many ways you would honor his trust, and how you would take that opportunity and run with it?" The Sports Information Director who would later be named to the Athletic Hall of Fame was appointed Director of Public Affairs by Dean for Advancement Bill Lowery '63 for his "loyalty, energy, commitment, ingenuity, drive, and generosity."
"Most recently President Gregory Hess tapped you as Chief of Staff, describing you in three words: 'Integrity; Inspiring. Inexhaustible,'" Estell said. "You are a man who loves this good place and people with all your heart, mind, body, and soul."
Former Wabash Director of Development Alison V. Kothe was named an honorary alumna and chose the Class of 1969.
"You were a pioneering and brilliantly successful woman in banking and the financial services industry, fields dominated almost entirely by men," Estell said. "Then you delighted in the role of a major gifts officer and traveled the country connecting with alumni and their families because you took a genuine interest in each and every one of them. You ascended to the position of Director of Development at the College and helped Wabash cap the Challenge of Excellence campaign $8 million over goal and a year ahead of schedule. You were the glue that connected these men and their families to their alma mater. Your presence on campus and in the lives of the students and faculty is every bit as praiseworthy. You attempted to retire from Wabash three times, but we kept dragging you back because you were irreplaceable. You made Wabash a significantly stronger place. You improved the lives of Wabash students, faculty, and staff, and you made every Wabash graduate with whom you interacted a better Wabash man."
Jimmy Haffner was named Honorary Alumnus and selected the Class of 1998.
"When you were nominated, the NAWM Board was flooded with testimonials of what you mean to Wabash," Estell said. "You've grown up around Wabash and contributed mightily to it. All of Wabash's coaches realize that you are far more than a fan, manager, or supporter; you are an integral part of each and every team. You live out your dreams through the athletic accomplishments of the Little Giants, and at the same time you provide immeasurable inspiration to every man who wears the Scarlet."
After a standing ovation for all the honorees, the Glee Club led the packed Chapel in Alma Mater, and Alumni Chapel— which honors the spirit of Barney Hollett '36 who loved Wabash College and spent his entire life working to make Wabash better and stronger—came to a rousing conclusion.

A few weeks ago I picked up Vegan With A Vengeance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. It's a cookbook with over 150 'cheap, animal free recipes that rock'. I have to agree.
So far I've made the scrambled tofu many times. I have to say, I had never even looked at tofu in the grocery store before. I had no idea what it looked like. Cub has organic tofu, 2 packs (2 1 pound packs) for $3.00. It's been at this price the last two times I've picked it up. Cheap.
I like it scrambled with mushrooms, onions, zucchini and spinach. I add in cumin, paprika and pepper. It takes on the flavor of the spices and it of a scrambled egg consistency. Lots of protein.
I've also tried the mushroom risotto. Yum. Lots and lots of mushrooms, rice, sun dried tomato, vegetable broth. It's wonderful. I stuffed it into red peppers. My family wouldn't taste it so I ate it for the next 4 meals! They don't like mushrooms at all. I'm willing to bet they wouldn't eat it without the mushrooms..we'll see next time!
Everyone liked the banana pecan pancakes. What's not to like there? There are many recipes I have highlighted that I am going to try. I'm trying a few each week. This week I will be trying the asparagus and sun dried tomato frittata, sweet potato crepes and green garlic pizza. Great variety!
I haven't touched Splenda in 14 days. This is the first time I've ever gone without splenda since it was first invented. I haven't had a Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke, I haven't added Splenda to my coffee (yes, I'm still drinking my coffee each morning), nor have I added my normal skim milk. I haven't had dairy/meat in 2 weeks. I don't miss it. I feel energized. Is that crazy or what? I don't know how long it will be until the meat craving hits, who knows. For now, it's just not there. I imagine I'll eat it when I feel it. I'm not feeling it.
My workouts are absolutely rocking. Today was track day. I was anxious to get out there and see how fast I could go. I decided not to wait for the boys tomorrow. I was energized and feeling fast during my 5 miles this morning with Topaz so couldn't wait to hit the track.
I was fast! Well, Julie fast anyway. I ran 10x800 hitting 315 (I've never hit 315!) to 325. Amazing. I can't even believe it. This is the first time I've actually run track workouts and tempo runs each week for 6 weeks. First time ever. It's paying off. But then of course I have to wonder if it even matters in the big picture of running long distance. I don't know. It can't hurt and it makes me feel good!
My lifting is going great as well. I've cut down from 5x a week to 3x a week..and yes, this is probably part of the reason I feel so energized and such. I am increasing poundage as I usually do. I imagine the increases will drop off and I'll maintain. I'm fine with that.
Last week I ran my 4th consecutive hill workout at Hyland and that was strong as well. I didn't know if hills, track, tempo and distance would tire me out but it hasn't, so far. It's early yet. I didn't feel absolutely dead tired after the workout. I'm up to 5 hours of hill running now. I'll get in one last session this week and then wait until after Lean Horse, working more hills for Javelina 100 in October.
I'm looking forward to Lean Horse 100 in a few weeks. After this weekend's final long run I'll cut back and taper. So I say.

Hi Julie, Thanks for your review of Skinny Bitch the other week. I ordered it and haven't been able to put it down since it came. I see from your latest post that you've taken on a whole load of their suggestions. I'm easing into vegetarian for a few days first, vegan later. So far no unusual extra fatigue during training. We'll see. Like you, I'm hanging on to my morning coffee for the moment! :) Bon courage! Rach

Looks like I'll see you on the hills. Great to hear the training's going so well.
Chandra Moskowitz's books are the gold standard for vegan recipes.

text: The Brioche Nanterre is the most classic French brioche, with a very soft and moist crumb structure and delicate butter notes. Brioche Nanterre was born in Paris during Catherine de Medicis' time. Previously, brioches were baked everywhere in France but it was only in Paris that the brioche was made with yeast instead of sourdough. While standard Parisian brioches at that time had a typical round shape with a "head", the traditional Brioche Nanterre is characterized by two rows of several dough balls. This brioche was very appreciated by Parisians and used to be found on Kings and Princes' tables. Notably, Louis XV was keen on this brioche. Formerly consumed for big occasions, today the brioche has become one of the most common soft and sweet breads all across France.

Looking for some Halloween masks that would be fun to make? Halloween is sneaking up on you and if you get caught without a costume, it could be scary! Don't scream. With a creative mask pattern or stencil you have the start of a unique Halloween costume. Plus you'll have a great time manufacture it yourself. And as you may have guessed, there are many ways to use stencils to create a costume. We are going to witness any of them here. So, let's jump right in but don't be scared.
Ok! So there aren't too many stencils out there that are specifically designed as Halloween masks. So, you'll have to think exterior the pumpkin a diminutive and get those creative juices flowing. After all, that's why manufacture your own craft masks is so much fun.
Halloween Costumes
When we were kids we loved manufacture our own costumes except we didn't have all the fancy stuff like felt and craft foam or patterns from the internet (I'm dating myself aren't I?). It didn't matter because we had a ball coming up with ideas using the things we could absolutely find nearby the house.
First, there are many stencils available for carving pumpkins. Right? Well, these are great for creating masks. How, you say? Well, let us count the ways.
Cut out a round or pumpkin shape from orange felt (stiff felt is great), orange craft foam or even paper you painted orange. If you can, don't forget to cut a diminutive stem on top and dab some green paint on that. If you absolutely want to be creative, paint some vertical curve lines in a darker orange to absolutely give it the pumpkin look. Then take your stencil designed for pumpkin carving and use it to cut openings into the felt. You may need to make some adjustments to the size of your stencil to make sure that eye, nose and mouth holes are in the appropriate places for you to see, breath and talk. Just take the stencil to a copy engine and reduce or progress it until you have the right size. Use a hole punch tool to make nice round holes on each side and attach orange or black ribbons so that you can tie it nearby your head.
Here is one of our tried and true methods of mask making. It's a diminutive like the tip above. Take large paper bags (big sufficient so that you can slide it over the head). Paint the bag orange and then use a stencil for pumpkin carving to cut out the face on the front of the bag. You can find fullness of printable Halloween stencils on the internet. You may need to trim out some curves for the shoulders so that the bag can come down low in the front and back. Don't forget to cut out holes nearby the ears for good hearing. It's quick, easy and best of all free!
To unblemished a pumpkin mask costume, cut leg and arm holes in one of those jack-o-lantern leaf bags. Fill it with plastic shopping bags to fill it out and tape it nearby your shoulders once it's full.
Let me just mention other creative way to use these stencils designed for carving pumpkins. Try using the old stand-by sheet for a ghost costume and cut out the stencils in the face area. Use a diminutive creativity and decorate the rest of the sheet too. Or maybe spray paint the sheet orange nearby the area that will cover the head before cutting out the pattern. To be absolutely creative, after the stencil is cut into the sheet, shape the holes with some black acrylic craft paint. This makes the openings stand out and also helps the edges from becoming frayed.
Halloween stencils offer an easy way to trick (or treat!) out a t-shirt. Use an old one from the closet or purchase a new one (old is preferable). If you have an orange shirt, use black fabric paint to put the image from a pumpkin carving stencil over the front of the shirt. If you have a black shirt handy then use orange or white fabric paint.
Ok. So we covered all the common stencils for pumpkin carving that are designed as the general faces we're all used to. But now with the internet we have so many others to pick from. Some very talented artists have taken the whole pumpkin carving stencil art to a whole new level. You can find designs of cats, pirates, wolves, witches, demons, cartoon characters, vampires, ghouls, mummies ... Well, the list is too long to keep going. My point is that the above options for creating a mask can be used for most of these. Remember that these were designed for a round pumpkin so that to resize them for face shapes and sizes is not a far stretch and can commonly be achieved.
Now let's come up with a few ideas to unblemished the costume for some of the masks mentioned above.
Feel like howling at the moon? A wolf mask is easy to create with gray felt, craft foam or paint. unblemished the costume with a gray t-shirt and gray sweat pants.
Feel like a feline? Black cats are all the time popular at Halloween. unblemished a cat mask with a black turtle neck shirt, black leggings and a black feather boa for a tail.
Want to be Frankie Baby? That's an easy one! Get some lime green felt, craft foam or paint. Dress up the mask with an old plaid flannel shirt, a ragged pair of jeans and a pair of work boots.
Are you a Witch? I mean for Halloween! Use black felt for the mask. You need to have an old loose fitting black dress (try a thrift store if you don't have one that you can use) and a broom.
And speaking of the many possibilities that stencils give us to decorate, here are some more creative and easy ideas. Just because Halloween stencils and patterns were designed for pumpkin carving doesn't mean that they can't be used for a large collection of other Halloween crafts such as: paint them on a bag for collecting your treats; paint them on the projection of a napkin to decorate your festive table; or paint them on colored paper for decorating the windows or doors. There are many other ways to use these astonishing designs to embellish your holiday decorations.
I know how creative you can be when you get started so don't be frightened to try something new. create a costume using a stencil or mask pattern and conclude up with some other fun ideas. I hope your Halloween is a real Scream!How to Make Halloween Masks and Costumes Using Printable Halloween Stencils

My Activity Tracking
My target 40 kms
Why I'm walking for water!
How far would you walk for a glass of water? In Africa and Asia, women have to walk an average of 6 kilometres to collect water. That's why I am challenging myself to walk 10,000 steps a day between 23 and 27 March, to raise money to help provide lifesaving safe water to some of the world's poorest communities.
WaterAid will reach everyone, everywhere with clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene within a generation. This vision inspires me, and I hope it inspires you too.
Please donate to my fundraising page to contribute to WaterAid's amazing work. For just $70, WaterAid could provide clean water to a child, while $350 could help provide clean water to a family.
The more people that know about WaterAid, the more we can achieve together. Please spread the word by sharing my fundraising page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
My wonderful sponsors
Clear Idea
Everyone deserves clean water!

Company Size Distributions as Economy Aggregated Indicators
This paper studies the distribution of company income and provides evidence that income statistics follow a universal law (Zipf-Mandelbrot) and the parameters of this distribution gather relevant information as a proxy of the state's economy. This article contributes to the economic interpretation of these parameters. We find that they are robust indicators of the structure of an economy and should be taken into account when designing policies to promote competition.

text: Pipka and her family arrived in America from war-torn Europe in 1949. Her father, a physician, was welcomed into the friendly, small town of Michigan, ND. The family thrived, while still maintaining their cultural German/Czech heritage. At Christmas, the candlelit tree, roast goose, and homemade strudel filled their home with memories, which would later influence Pipka in her future career as an artist. Frequent trips to visit her grandmother, who lived in the pastoral landscape of Bavaria, inspired Pipka s creative direction as a decorative furniture painter. In the 1970s she opened Pipka s Workshop in Minneapolis, MN, where her days were filled with custom painting furniture, teaching painting classes, and writing books, while her mother made pillows and accessories out of imported fabrics from Austria. In 1981, Pipka moved to Door County and thrived in her new creative environment. On a quiet, snow-filled day, Pipka painted a old-world Santa for her mother as a Christmas gift, and her passion forFather Christmaswas born. Pipka began by gathering inspiration from her own heritage, and eventually began traveling to various European countries during the Christmas season. Experiencing the sights, tastes, and traditions of Christmas in other parts of the world ignited the creation of her uniquely charming Christmas designs. "Each country has a gift bringer, says Pipka, and each Santa tells a story." It is that story which makes each ?Santa Pipka creates so appealing � evoking memories and startingnew traditions for the happy collector. ?Pipka Collectibles are sold in specialty stores around the country. � The first step in the design process is a lengthy one. Using her books and antique card collections, Pipka researches each Santa s heritage, for detail in costumes, toy sacks, and customs. � After a series of sketches, a large, detailed painting is completed. � Gaylord Ho, the sculptor, then creates a clay model of the figurine, which Pipka must approve. � After the first approval, the model is finely sanded, and Gaylord hand paints the first figurine. � Pipka carefully examines the painted prototype and makes any changes necessary. � Once approved, the process begins, and a marble resin compound is poured into the molds. � Once the compound sets, the mold is removed, and each figurine is finely sanded. Note: Many molds are made for the same figure because the process itself can dull the mold s edges and the figurine could lose the beautiful details for which Pipka s Collectibles are known. � Each collectible is packaged in a designer box with a story of the figurine s background and special history. � Once the run has been produced for a particular figurine, the molds are broken and the piece is retired.

I am trying to figure out the best way to deal with the 2 foot deep closets behind my studio monitors. (see picture)
I will be adding foam wedge bass traps in the room corners, but this is just outside of the closets. The edge of the closet door openings are 11" from walls (just enough for foam wedges) to cover the room corners, but with the closets, this isn't the only room "corner". [please ignore the PA speakers, they are temporary for my DJ mixing purposes]
The issue is, what to do with the closets behind the monitors. I thought of just covering the folding doors with 2-3" foam for high-mid frequencies, but I worry about the closets just becoming a big bass bin since the doors will vibrate. I don't want to get rid of the closets, just in case this becomes a bed room again. Help! Any suggestions of how to deal with these closets?
Without the 2 foot deep closets, here are the room dimensions:
Room: Basement Studio, 16.67 x 11.17 x 7.17 feet
Acoustical Purpose: Pop/Dance music Recording and Mixing Studio with some Voice Over within the room.

This is part one of an interview I did with peak.com. If you like it and think others may be stoked please share it with the tool on the upper right.
Recently 30.
I'm trained as a Registered Dietitian, in other words a professional nutritionist. Currently I work under a Food-stamp grant doing nutrition education in low-income areas of Los Angeles. Am also an adjunct instructor with the LA district community colleges.
How long have you been doing ultras?
Since Fall of 2004. More or less.
What was your first one?
My first ultra was the Mt. Tam double century in 2004. I had no idea what I was getting into. I did it on 3 hours sleep, finished in 16 hours, then had to drive an hour back to a friend's house. It was beautiful.
What got you into ultras?
Bike touring. I spent the majority of teenage years on a BMX bike riding the most difficult trails in the country. Many of my friends went on to be pro. I went to college. Not sure if I made the right decision. Filled the gap with mountain biking and then bought a $50 panasonic road bike my senior year. Rode it 150 miles through Pennsylvania to my mom's house within a month. First lesson: cut-off shorts and no underwear is not the most comfortable choice for your crotch. The following Spring I rode cross-country from California to Pennsylvania alone (mostly). I was too cheap to pay for camping (hotels weren't an option) so I found my own places behind trees or rocks or in public parks. Spent $5/day over two months. Would of been faster but I got hit by a car head-on outside of Flagstaff, Arizona in a surprise snow storm. Ten days off the bike mending a broken wrist and a broken bike. Insurance of the driver bought me my first 'real' bike: a Bianchi Axis. The next summer a friend and I rode from Los Angeles to Belize City, Belize. We went through Oaxaca, Chiapas, Guatemala, it was a phenomenal experience. With some shorter trips, including Alaska and the Great Divide, I've got about 10,000 bike touring miles logged.
Your hardest?
Solo Furnace Creek 508! No doubt. The desert does something to you mentally. If you don't love it and show it respect, it will chew you up. I struggled the second day quite a bit and would not of finished if it was not for my great crew. After 37 hours I was glad to be done and did enjoy it, even with the misery. That's partly why I am out there. I love the highs and lows.
Paris-Brest-Paris in 2007 was definitely the longest. Does that count as an ultra? I wasn't competing, I just thought it would be a fun way to experience France. It's part Critical Mass, part bike tour, part cultural submersion. I went with the night start and rode with various groups over the next 26 hours. In Carhaix I found a cot in a gym to sleep on. 'When do you want us to wake you up?' In 8 hours, I replied to their confusion. I figured it would be more fun and easier if I slept a full night. Did the same the next night. Finished in 77 hours, if I remember correctly. Two weeks previous I had done my first iron-distance triathlon on a course in Norway they call the world's hardest, the Norseman. I was nervous because it was especially cold. They had to move the swim away from the glacier run-off in the fjord. You actually had to get out of the water half-way through so they could check you for hypothermia. The bike was 126 miles and the marathon ends up a mountain. I finished near the back and the organizers were always tremendously supportive. They let us sleep in the gym (is there a theme here?) in the days leading up to the race and cook in the kitchen of a school to save money.
Recommendations for new athletes?
It is difficult for me to answer this because I struggle to call myself an athlete. I'd say keep it fun! Don't take yourself too seriously. I like to do athletic events because they are an adventure and the process adds to my life experience. When I lose sight of this it becomes like a job and significantly less fun. To me swimming in a fjord in Norway, riding my bike through traffic in LA, mountain biking fantastic technical single track or running up a mountain near my house are all worthy experiences in their own right regardless of the end goal. Each give me that jolt of excitement that I don't think enough of us get in our daily lives.
Food and hydration during events?
Even though my expertise is in nutrition, I still have to work very hard to get my food and hydration sorted out. The more I've trained and at times when I am most fit I am able to eat less while riding without compromising my performance. It has taken me years of paying close attention to my body to know how far I can push and when I need to eat and drink. I try to average about 200 calories an hour and focus, when possible, on eating fruits and whole foods. On doubles and really tough centuries I do use gels and the liquid foods with definite success.
What's your training like?
Oh how my training varies. I am definitely on the low-end of hours and miles compared to others. Especially running. It is a struggle for me to run more than twice a week, which is something I need to change if I want to get my marathon time under four hours. I do a lot of core work, including pilates. I also live in Los Angeles without a car, so riding to the grocery store and carrying 20 pounds of groceries home on my fixed gear definitely helps.
Favorite event?
So hard to say! My first mountain bike race ever was this year, the Shenandoah 100. It was freakin awesome. A party the whole time, with a 100 miles of amazing terrain and great single-track in the middle. I raced rigid single-speed and came in just under 11 hours. A great way to spend the day. I also did Vineman, the 'people's iron-man', this year in Sonoma Country. Very well supported, lots of veg food and an emphasis on minimal impact: they washed and reused water bottles and even composted fruit scraps.
Why ultras?
I like the commitment. I don't want to spend more time traveling to an event than I do participating in it! That space in time after the initial adrenalin wears out is where you learn the most about yourself and the world. I've experienced clarity like no other on really long bike events. This is cliche, but it takes you away from mundane, normal life with the hassles of bills to be paid, reports to be filed, calls to answer, etc. In a way it is very primal and aligns us with what our ancestors were forced to do to make it through life. I think we all need to remember this. I do my best to promote ultra events so others can get out of the work-buy stuff-watch tv-sleep-repeat routine and experience what we are capable of experiencing, for good and for bad.
Long term goals in the sport?
Tough one. I take it year by year. I like this mountain biking thing so I want to do a 24-hour race next year. The courses seem so boring though. Maybe race the Great Divide? I am not sure. I hope no one who reads this holds me to that!

What's the worst thing that could happen to someone who uses bad grammar?
A low grade on a paper? A mocking post on this blog? A scolding from a nearby grammarian?
Oh, it could be worse. You could find yourself face to face with James Westfall and Dr. Kenneth Noisewater.
This is my new favorite entry on my new favorite Web site, fmylife.com:
Today, I was flirting via text with a coworker. Things started getting heated, and I wanted to send her a sexy picture. I asked if she had any suggestions. She said, "Your nuts!" She meant, "YOU'RE nuts." I sent her a photo of my junk. I offended a co-worker with incriminating evidence. FML
Okay. We know this guy isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Anyone knows you don't send naked pictures to someone you barely know. And I'm going to assume that these two people are over the age of 18, because if not, that's a different issue altogether. Assuming they both are above the age of consent,
That girl got exactly what she deserved.
She mixed up "your" and "you're" and thus was blinded with an image of the least attractive part of the male anatomy, an image that will likely stick in her mind for quite a long time.
It's kind of like shock therapy, don't you think?
(And, for the record, I feel like I need to say this to clueless straight guys of the world: No girl in her right mind will ever ask you for a picture of your nuts if she wants to be turned on. ANY other body part is understandable — NEVER the nuts. If she does, that's a red flag. She'll probably be forwarding it to her friends and laughing at you.)
What do you think? Did this girl get what she deserved?

This Week in TampaCuse - February 19, 2014
Another week of hockey season is in the books, though the Lightning weren't in action as a team due to the Olympic break. Syracuse paused for the All-Star break (congrats, Brett Connolly), then resumed with two close losses to former affiliate Norfolk.
Random thoughts on the week:
1. Superman just bought himself Kristers Gudlevskis pajamas. I said in a previous blog entry that Kristers Gudlevskis had the most to gain from his Olympic appearance and today's 55-save, 2-1 loss to Canada was the perfect example. Now every notable hockey person and a few hundred thousand fans know who he is, and there's an overwhelmingly positive opinion attached. He was the story of the day and maybe the story of the tournament so far. Carey Price said it was the greatest performance he's seen. Martin Brodeur also gave him props, as did Canadian astronaut Chris Hatfield. What an exceptional performance. Easily one of the greatest moments I've had in 15 years following Lightning prospects.
2. Former Lightning playoff hero Brad Richards (who's Memorial Cup run was another top prospect-following moment) has always been known for his mantra of not getting too high or not getting too low when it comes to hockey. I've tried to adopt that in my life, actually, when applicable. I think Gudlevskis' performance today is a perfect example. Many Lightning followers took to social media during and after that game, immediately shipping Anders Lindback out and putting Gudlevskis in Tampa already. Or at least next year. Let's all just slow down. He's 21. TWENTY-ONE. He's also super athletic and highly competitive, which is why he was drafted. He's going to be a good goalie, and we just watched what he is capable of. However, again, he is 21. If you've watched him this season in Syracuse (and I've seen about 20 or so games), he's shown these flashes many times before. He also gets moving a little too much at times, loses focus, and gives up rebounds he probably won't when he's 24. Why? Because he's 21 and that's what young goalies do. Rebound control and consistency are always the big "problem areas" when it comes to young goalies. Let's just enjoy the moment for all it's worth and give him the proper time to develop.
3. Bob McKenzie of TSN tweeted earlier today that Gudlevskis was a few minutes from starting against the Red Wings when Bishop said he could go. That would have meant Gudlevskis would have played in the ECHL, AHL, NHL, and Olympics this year. Impressive. I do think Gudlevskis' performance today means he's most likely to get the next start for the Lightning should a goaltender from Syracuse be needed.
4. Syracuse season ticket holders probably don't feel they're getting their money's worth this year with a last place club, but with Vasilevskiy and Gudlevskis penciled in as the Crunch's goaltender duo next year, that should change. Those two will be fun to watch, and with so many back-to-back games and a few three-in-threes, there's plenty of blue ice to keep them happy. Don't forget who's running the show. Steve Yzerman will always error on the side of patience with prospects.
5. Where does Gudlevskis fit in on the future goaltender depth chart? I don't know. Yzerman doesn't know. He's just going to let things play out. None of the young goalies are ready for NHL time now or will be next year and Bishop needs someone behind him who is okay playing 1/3 of the games. That player is Anders Lindback, like it or not. He's a restricted free agent this summer and as we've been saying, look for him to be re-signed for a minimal (standard) raise and be Bishop's No. 2. Look at 2015-2016 for Vasilevskiy, Gudlevskis, Wilcox, Janus, or … Bishop again (not that there's anything wrong with that). Janus was probably 5th on Slovakia's Olympic list for goalies (he was in Sochi) and Wilcox is making a run at the Hobe Baker for Minnesota. You don't plan for the future now because you don't have to. Let it play out. For next year, taking Janus out of the equation, whether Vasya or KG is No. 1 or No. 3 overall could be dependent on what day you're asking.
6. I've often thought that Jon Cooper as coach of the Lightning was the most advantageous for Tyler Johnson and Ondrej Palat. Both have had to prove themselves over and over again, but Cooper already knew what they could do so the two didn't have to gain his trust. We saw in Sochi that Palat had to start from scratch with much-maligned Czech coach Alois Hadamczik. Palat was a healthy scratch twice and used sparingly all but one game. It's almost as dumbfounding as Victor Hedman not even making the Swedish reserve list. Not surprisingly (and not just because of Palat), the Czechs bowed out in the quarterfinals to USA, 5-2.
7. I love the Olympics. I may like the Olympic hockey tournament more than the Stanley Cup Finals (if the Lightning aren't in it). I love the natural pride that a player has playing for his country and the storylines that come out of the games. I hope the NHL keeps sending its players. I remember well the days when Canada (grew up in Ontario) would lose and I'd console myself by saying "if NHL players were allowed to be there, we'd have won gold." I want the best vs the best. I think social media (especially Twitter) makes the experience more enjoyable. The USA-Russia game earlier this week was an outstanding online experience. My hockey follows were, of course, excited, but my non-hockey follows were also commenting every few seconds - and everyone was on the same "team." Great stuff. Oh, and TJ Oshie is good.
8. My eyeballs tell me USA should be the favorite over Martin St. Louis and Canada. USA seemed to gel right away and play a fast game. They're finishing their chances. Canada has done exceptionally well structurally, shutting down the middle of the ice and keeping action to the outside in their own zone. Finland barely mustered a few chances 5 on 5 and Latvia had only a few scoring opportunities. Canada's offense has been missing since the tournament began. It could come down to goaltending. I like Quick against Price, but we'll see.
9. Brett Connolly played for Team AHL this past week in the All-Star game against Sweden professional club Farjestad. I liked the format in St. John's because it wasn't shinny. Both clubs competed, though maybe not their absolute hardest. At least you saw some effort. Connolly created a few chances. The format reminded me of Rendez-vous '87 when the NHL played the Russians in Quebec City. The NHL and Russia split the 2-game series. My, how times have changed.
10. JP Cote was suspended a handful of games for a vicious elbow while making a hit against Norfolk. Admiral fans weren't happy with the former Norfolk Calder Cup winner. Understandable.
11. This week Crunch Coach Rob Zettler told Lindsay Kramer of the Syracuse Post-Standard that the blame for Syracuse's underachieving season starts with him. That's big of him, and it's part of the business. There's a lot of blame to go around for Syracuse's poor season, but Zettler's not at the top of the list. A massive graduation of prospects to the NHL all at once is. And that's not something that may happen again in a dozen years. The Crunch will be fine in the long run.
12. Switching to Tampa, did you catch the article in the Tampa Bay Times on Jeff Vinik pledging to spend to the cap for the foreseeable future? Just stop and appreciate that. It wasn't that long ago Jay Feaster was penny pinching trying to put a winning product on the ice. And that was just one of the many ownership issues that have plagued the Lightning over the years. When/if you say prayers with your kid at night, through a "Thank you for Jeff Vinik" in there.
13. In case you haven't heard, your second place Lightning are about to add a well rested, motivated Steven Stamkos. Grab some popcorn and watch.
14. While Stamkos is the main Lightning (re)addition at the deadline, don't be surprised to see some depth moves, especially on defense. In Yzerman's first year the Lightning took hit after hit on defense and that off-season he loaded up on D. The d has taken some hits this year, obviously, and if Salo goes down again, the Lightning are playing Brewer, Barberio, or Aulie in their top-4. That's above their current levels, in my opinion. I think there needs to be someone added, but the price may be too high. If Barberio continues to improve, perhaps he can be that person if Salo goes down. That's a big if. And Barberio isn't a righty.
15. Watching Shea Weber, Drew Doughty, Duncan Keith, Alex Pietrangelo, Ryan Suter, etc at the Olympics makes me crave for a true No. 1 defenseman for the Lightning. Hedman is almost there. He may be 1-2 years of consistent play away from having that reputation, but he's crossing the line into that area right now. He may not reach the elite level of the defensemen mentioned above, but he'll be All-Star caliber by next winter. Cooper's green light is a big reason why. When a player is allowed to do what gives him confidence, his overall impact increases. Confidence is such a big ingredient for success.
16. Fantasy hockey is about to pick back up soon, so scan your waiver wires to see if someone tried to sneak someone into free agency while no one was looking. Keep an eye on Mikael Granlund of the Wild (who was great today for Finland vs Russia) and Mikael Backlund of Calgary, who has been hot. Olli Maata of Pittsburgh is a good pick up, too, especially with Letang sidelined.
17. This week's Twitter recommendation is fantasy hockey related. I've enjoyed what @fantasyhockeyDK has had to offer, especially his #AMhattrick every morning. Good stuff. I also like that he's a Valeri Nichushkin "fanboy." Me, too. And so were the Lightning, per rumors. I'll still take Drouin, though.

By Lisa Tetrault-Zhe
Hampton Union,
[The following article is courtesy of the Hampton Union and Seacoast Online.]
Daniel Singer, director of the Greater Hampton Community Band.
HAMPTON — Looking for a free night on the town that includes free music and fresh air?
The Greater Hampton Community Band is for you.
This summer, in its 12th season, the group will perform four free outdoor concerts — Hampton Falls on July 28th; North Hampton on August 4th; Winnacunnet High School on August 8th and August 11th at the Seashell Stage at Hampton Beach.
"I just love the fact that we come together as a group," said director Daniel Singer. "We all love music, and we're able to share that with people."
This is Singer's second season as director of the group. Prior to that, they were under the direction of Winnacunnet High School band teacher Tony Cyrus.
"I feel proud to see my Winnacunnet Band students continuing to enjoy playing their instruments years after graduating," Cyrus said in an e-mail. "I love seeing families playing together — parents with children, siblings of varied ages who otherwise would not get to play together. Seeing older members of the group being made to feel welcome by the younger students and creating a multi-generational band working well together and learning from each other."
There are 35 members in the group, and they'll start rehearsing on June 16. Singer said he'd love for a few more to join.
"I'd say 50 would be the ideal size," Singer, who's also the band instructor at North Hampton School, explained. "We're especially in need of the low brass instruments, such as trombone, tuba, clarinet and flute. Anyone can join, but those are a few we are in particular need of."
Band members range in age from high school right up to 80-something year-olds. Cyrus frequently recruits his WHS band members to participate. There are eight members who have participated every year since the group's inception in 2002: Chris Antlitz, Stephanie Antlitz, Blake Brown, Corinne Brown, Chris Larivee, Mary Oliver, Richard Ridolfo, and Laurel Weatherby.
According to Singer, a lot of families attend their shows.
"The concerts are free and we play for about an hour," Singer said. "People love to come out and enjoy the music. A lot of them pack picnic baskets and sit on the lawn. Most of our locations have a beautiful town green and a bandstand."
In addition to the four outdoor shows — Hampton Falls bandstand, Hampton bandstand, North Hampton bandstand, and Seashell Stage at Hampton Beach — they also do one show indoors at WHS.
Singer said the indoors show is the only definite. For the others, they have to keep an eye on the weather to determine if they need to cancel.
"Our biggest challenge is logistics," Singer said. "We have to get everything over there for the concert — equipment, chairs, and stands. Then we have to set it all up."
Cyrus loans the band space to hold their equipment, which is helpful.
As for the pieces they perform, Singer said they have several crowd favorites, including "Syncopated Clock" and "Stars and Stripes Forever."

We don't often ask for money. Just twice a year. This is one of those times.
So, please, before you hit the "close" button on this box, would you consider a donation to keep Hymnary.org going?
In April 2020, according to Google Analytics, our Hymnary website had roughly 1.5 million sessions from approximately 1 million users. Both numbers were up 40% from April 2019. Amazing. And what a blessing! But it is expensive to serve all of these people -- worship leaders, hymnologists, hymn lovers and more -- people like you who love hymns.
And we have limited sources of revenue. This fund drive is one critical source.
So if you benefit from Hymnary.org, would you please consider a donation today? Even small amounts help, and they also let us know you're behind us and support what we do.

Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spend
Upon thyself thy beauty's legacy?
Nature's bequest gives nothing but doth lend,
And being frank she lends to those are free.
Then, beauteous niggard, why dost thou abuse
The bounteous largess given thee to give?
Profitless usurer, why dost thou use
So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live?
For having traffic with thyself alone,
Thou of thyself thy sweet self dost deceive.
Then how, when nature calls thee to be gone,
What acceptable audit canst thou leave?
Thy unused beauty must be tomb'd with thee,
Which, used, lives th' executor to be.
Sonnet 4: Translation to modern English
Wasteful youth, why do you squander on yourself the riches that you should leave to the world? Nature gives nothing but only makes a loan and, being generous, she lends only to those who are open hearted. Then, beautiful miser, why do you abuse the generous inheritance given to you to leave to someone else? Unsuccessful money-lender, why do you spend such great sums when you can't live forever, by thinking of yourself only? You are only cheating yourself, so, when nature calls you away what reasonable account will you be able to give of yourself? Your unused seed will have to be buried with you , which, if used, would live as the administrator of your beauty.

Opening up networks and systems to the next generation of Internet Protocols entails some risk, which agencies should be aware of and prepared to mitigate as they comply with Office of Management and Budget Mandates to enable IPv6.
The U.S. government is leading the transition to IPv6 and use of the new protocols is growing; one observer predicts IPv4 will be obsolete by the end of the decade. Read more.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology identifies the likely risks and remedies in its Special Publication 800-119, "Guidelines for Secure Deployment of IPv6."
"IPv6 can be deployed just as securely as IPv4, although it should be expected that vulnerabilities within the protocol, as well as with implementation errors, will lead to an initial increase in IPv6-based vulnerabilities," the guidelines say.
Likely security challenges of IPv6 deployment include:
To meet these challenges, agencies should increase staff knowledge of and experience with IPv6 and plan for a phased deployment of the new protocols, NIST says. If IPv6 has not been formally deployed in a network, agencies should block all IPv6 traffic at the firewall, both incoming and outgoing.

Friction – Baby Talk (1990, Nizer Top Records)
1. Let The Love Begin
2. Down And Lonely
3. Baby Talk
4. Wave Goodbye To A Friend
5. Do Ya
6. Lover's Lane
7. Broken Heart Charity Ball
8. Bed Of Roses
9. Too Late To Cry
10. Past Tense
11. Rockin' Tonight
Let me begin by stating that this is NOT the highly collectible original CD, this is a 2005 REISSUE by Retrospect Records. The original CD is one of the rarest U.S. indies out there. It commands a hefty sum ($300-500+) on Ebay for a mint original. The Retrospect reissue is available for $30 + shipping at their website. For those interested, the CD is pressed on a green-tinted CDR, the front cover art is a bit blurry, and there is no extensive booklet. If you care about the music (I do!), this CD is worth it. If you prefer silver-pressed CDs and the original artwork/booklet, then I would keep waiting for an original. This reissue is one of Retrospect's first releases so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because newer reissues are silver-pressed with extensive art, etc.
On to the music….
This is pretty good stuff for a band that hadn't been signed. Imagine the late '80s/early '90s sound and that's what is on this disc. You've got great vocals, great hooks and melody, and guitar solos! Nothing is better than solos, I wish they would come back in today's music. Let The Love Begin starts the album off with a power kick and Down And Lonely brings it to a nice '80s groove. Some other quality tunes: Broken Heart Charity Ball, Too Late To Cry, and the audience-flavored Rockin' Tonight. This is fast becoming one of my favorite indies.
Additional information on Friction can be found here at Heavy Harmonies.
If anyone out there has an original…..contact me right away, I'd be interested in making an offer.

A Scorcher In The Nation's Capital (7/7/2012)
After much internal debate about where to go and what to do, we eventually decided to head to Nationals Park on July 7, 2012, to see the Rockies take on the Nationals. I had originally planned to take the boys to Cleveland with my buddy Greg. But it ended up looking like that plan couldn't happen. Then Garrett Meyer gave a tip about how to get some free tickets to a Nationals game, so I picked this game so we could see Jamie Moyer. Unfortunately, the Rockies designated Moyer for assignment long before this game happened and he is now toiling away in the Minor Leagues for the Blue Jays.
But, anyway, we had free tickets to the Rockies vs. Nationals. And since he had originally planned to join us this weekend in Cleveland, our buddy Greg decided to join us in DC.
I was confused about what would be happening before this game. It was listed as "photo day" on the Nationals' promotional schedule. It explained that the stadium would open 3.5 hours early (12:30 p.m.) and fans could go on the warning track in the outfield to get pictures with the Nationals between 1:30 and 2:45. The game wasn't scheduled to start until 4:05 so I was confused if BP was going to take place during the photo day festivities. I asked Jeremy Guthrie about it on twitter, and he mentioned that BP was scheduled to take place on the field but he wasn't sure how it would really play out.
When we arrived at the ballpark at 1:00 p.m., there were already some fans on the field. The field was not set up for BP and I was thinking, "Wow, 2:45 to 4:05 is a long time between the end of photo day and beginning of the game if there is no BP!"
Wouldn't you know, Jeremy Guthrie was standing in shallow LF right where we entered the field. I called out to him and asked if they were going to take BP.
Oh, well. What can you do? Make the best if it!
Guthrie was standing there with a baseball waiting for his partner to come play catch. I told him that I'd play catch with him since he didn't have a partner.
"Sure, I'll play catch with you was his response." Greg snapped this picture…
…on his phone while Guthrie and I played catch until his partner arrived on the scene. It didn't last very long. But it was my first time playing catch with a Major Leaguer and it was pretty darn cool.
Thanks, Jeremy!
By the way, Jeremy's last throw to me was a pretty decent knuckleball. I told him the best I could do was a pretty weak split-finger gripped knuckleball. I let it fly and Guthrie got a good chuckle at my attempted knuckler.
After playing catch with Guthrie, I got a picture of Greg and the boys on the warning track:
I was hoping that Guthrie would toss us the baseball we played catch with after he finished throwing with his partner. But he ended up playing catch with two different kids at the same time (using two different baseballs) and gave both baseballs to the kids. But we did get a nice consolation prize, a picture with Guthrie:
I think that picture turned out to be pretty hilarious for a couple reasons. First, Kellan has his back to the camera and Greg is starting to walk into the picture to get Kellan to turn around. I take so many pictures that I don't strive for perfection. Kellan often times doesn't look at the camera and I don't really like to waste a Major Leaguer's time trying to get Kellan to turn around if he doesn't do it on his own. Second, Tim is looking off camera at a girl who tried to get into our picture. It was pretty funny. Guthrie was clearly trying to get a picture with us, but this gal walked right up and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Guthrie. When she turned and looked at a guy holding a camera, Guthrie politely explained that he would get a picture with her after he posed for our picture. So she walked away, but Tim was still looking at her when I snapped the picture. So sometimes a less perfect picture tells a better story and helps us remember exactly what was happening when we took the picture.
I should mention that Mateo Fischer met up with us when we were watching Guthrie warm up.
After getting the picture with Guthrie, we all decided to head out into the outfield. We stopped at the LF foul pole and got a picture of Tim and Greg with the "336" signs:
Greg took a picture of me and the boys in front of the visitors' bullpen in LF:
For good measure, I got a picture of Greg leaning against the wall by the "377" sign as Kellan wandered off toward CF:
We all caught up to Kellan and I got this picture of our little group:
Have you noticed in all of these pictures that Tim is holding a bright yellow squirt bottle? He's holding the squirt bottle because it was supposed to be (and was) 100+ degrees at this game. I generally do not acknowledge or pay any attention to the weather, at least to future weather. So when my wife kept mentioning during the week that it was supposed to be really hot at this game, I didn't pay it much mind. But the night before the game, we went to the store and bought Tim a squirt bottle to help us all keep cool.
We weren't the only ones prepared with a water squirter. As we walked by the opening in the CF wall where they store the batting cage and other stuff, an usher-type-guy told us there was a cooling station back there through the opening in the wall.
We were all for exploring this uncharted territory at Nationals Park. So we headed into the store area…
…and found a some spare grass for replacing damaged grass on the field, a big pile of extra warning track dirt, a garage full of various types of equipment, and a couple fans blowing water on us fans:
Oh, yeah. We also found a random brick behind the LF wall that the "Carolina Green Corp" built Nationals Park in 2007.
We ended up spending a lot of time in this shady area. We kept coming back again-and-again to hide in the shade and take advantage of the mist-blowing fans.
But after our first visit to the cooling station, we continued on our way toward the RF foul pole. The RF wall at Nationals Park features a large out of town scoreboard that we got to check out up-close-and-personal:
The Mariners' position in the A.L. West cellar meant they were low enough on the wall that we could get our picture with our team:
I've noticed if I take two consecutive pictures, often times, Tim will look at the camera in one and Kellan will look at the camera in the other. Here is a great example of the this phenomenon by the Nationals' bullpen:
After we made it to the RF foul line, we headed up into the seats. We found a shady spot in the second-to-last row where Tim could unload his water squirter in Greg's face…
…and we could do some in-stadium birding.
When we made it up into the stands, the Nationals really started circling the ballpark in earnest. Two players would come out at a time and begin a big lap around. Mateo ran back down to the field before the rest of us. We watched on from above as love-him-or-hate-him rookie, Bryce Harper…
…made his way down the RF foul line sporting a clown shirt. Oh, by the way, now-a-days everyone who is originally elected to the all-star game bags out on it on some feigned injury or whatnot and is then replaced by a far less deserving player. On this date, Bryce Harper (and his 62-games of MLB experience) was named to the NL All-Star team.
After cooling off in the shady seats for a while, we headed back down to the field. We all headed out to CF and split time between the cooling station and the warning track.
Tim shook hands with and even got to spray several big leaguers in the face. Here he is with Craig Stammen, Jordan Zimmerman and Ross Detwiler:
BTW, credit for identifying all of these Nationals (none of whom looked the slightest bit familiar to me) goes to Mateo. Thanks!
Here is a guy I did recognize, Mr. Too-Cool-For-School (And-The-Fans), Jayson Werth:
Notice the large padding he kept of empty grass between himself and the fans. In that picture to the left, he was saying something to Tim along the lines of, "Oh, no thanks, spray yourself!"
A few Nats were standoffish like Werth, but most were very cool. Here are a couple more of the cool variety – Henry Rodriguez, Rick Ankiel and Adam LaRoche:
Ankiel was one of the few I recognized and the only one with whom I shook hands. LaRoche received a multiple-squirt facial attack from Tim. I should note that Tim only squirted the players who specifically asked to be squirted. I think there were four such players in total.
After a while I pointed out the indoor restaurant at the Red Porch to Greg and said, "Do you want to go in there and see if they have air conditioning going? He pounced at the suggestion so we started heading over to the LF line to exit the field.
On our way, we met Terrance…
…who I personally believe is the No. 1 hype-guy in all of MLB. I've seen Terrance working at Nationals games for years and the dude goes all full-force in and all-out attempt to rally the troops.
After this picture, he turned to Tim and asked, "IS YOUR NATITUDE IGNITED!"
Tim, showing an utter lack of Natitude, was like, "Whaaaat?"
And then Terrance noted that Tim most be too full of Marinertude to ignite any Natittude. It was a keen observation.
Once we reached the concourse I noticed something that was just calling out for a picture:
Tim is acting like the Nats pig is a sweaty Nats player and his cooling him off with a blast of water to the eyes.
On our way to the Red Porch, Greg stopped to buy some food. Mateo, the boys and I went ahead and found that the Red Porch restaurant was packed to the rafters. There was no chance to get inside. But there were a bunch of couches behind the restaurant that were all in the shade. So we grabbed one…
…and waited for Greg.
Once Greg arrived, I put him in charge of the boys (including, to Tim's great delight, Mateo), and headed off to grab some nachos. But a funny thing happened on the way to get our food. All of the fans were off the field by this point, and I noticed that a couple Rockies pitchers were coming out to warm up down the LF line.
We had been inside the ballpark for about two hours and had zero baseballs to show for it. Kellan has NEVER been to a game without getting at least one baseball and I really wanted to keep that streak alive for him (btw, this was his 22nd game of his life). Instead of going to get the food, I headed back to the Red Porch and without saying a word to anyone (wink, wink…Mateo), I grabbed my backpack and Kellan and headed back to the LF line.
Three groups of Rockies pictures were playing catch and Drew Pomeranz was signing autographs at the corner spot. Kellan and I walked down by Pomeranz but stayed about 10 feet from the group of autograph seekers.
When he finished signing and started walking off, I called out, "Hey, Drew." He hadn't even started to warm up yet and he clearly thought I was going to ask for one more autograph. Instead I asked him, "Hey, when you finish warming up, is there any chance you could toss your warm up ball over for this little guy?" Pomeranz responded with a non-committal but encouraging-toned, "Possibly." He then ran over to the bullpen and started doing arm exercises with some stretchy bands.
Meanwhile, the first group of Rockies pitchers finished playing catch. Rex Brothers was on the CF side of the pair and he ended up holding the ball. He spotted us in the first row behind his partner (Josh Roenicke) and tossed the ball right to us.
Thanks, Rex!
Kellan and I immediately bolted of the there and headed for the nacho stand. On the way, I snapped this picture…
…and texted it to Mateo.
When Kellan and I reached the couches at the Red Porch, I was not surprised at all to find that Mateo was long gone. Greg reported that he high-tailed it out of there the second he received my text.
Let me tell you, those nachos were delicious:
We had a great time eating, high fiving and squirting water all around in the shade.
But when we finished our nachos, we were all running low on water. We had 3-4 20 ounce water bottles and we must have filled each of them up 10-15 times throughout the day. We were constantly drinking water or having me pour it all over the boys' heads. Anyway, with our water running low, we decided to head back to the water fountain in the 3B-side concourse.
Tim and Greg walked straight to the water fountains. I told them that Kellan and I would meet up with them after cutting through the stands to see what was going on down on the field.
Wouldn't you know, Mateo was down there watching the onlwith our water running low, we decided to head back to the water fountain in the 3B-side concourse.
Tim and Greg walked straight to the water fountains. I told them that Kellan and I would meet up with them after cutting through the stands to see what was going on down on the field.
Mateo was down there watching the only remaining Rockies pitcher playing catch. And wouldn't you know, it was Drew Pomeranz and he was just about to finish his warm-ups. Like Brothers, Pomeranz was on the CF side of his partner. When he finished playing catch, he looked up, spotted us, and tossed us the baseball. Thereby turning his prior "possibly" into a "sure thing!" It all looked sort of like this:
Thanks, Drew!
Kellan and I again immediately took off for the concourse. Greg, who has never got a baseball at a game before (but hopefully will by the time this season is over!), was amazed when we showed up at the water fountain with a second baseball in hand.
As we finished topping off our water bottles, we spotted some Presidential looking fellas in the concourse. We headed over there and Tim and Greg got pictures with George Washington, Abe Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt:
After 45 seconds in the sun with the Presidents, we headed back to the shade:
Eventually, Tim ran down to the front row to hang out with Mateo:
See the guy in the red Nationals jersey out in CF in that last picture. That was Nationals coach Jim Lett. I pointed him out to Greg and told him that Lett would most likely throw us a baseball by the time this game concluded.
Once the final Rockies pitcher left, we decided it was time to visit the air conditioned team store…
…it felt like pure heaven in there. We came back later for more.
It was game time. We had some great seats in section 135 down the 1B line. But it was way to sunny and hot in the seats. So we headed over to section 137 and hung out in the shady seats toward the back of the section. This was our view for the first several innings:
Immediately before the first inning started, Kellan and I walked over to the railing looking down into the Nationals bullpen. There was only one player in there and he grabbed some stuff…
…and headed out the big door way that you can see in the bottom right corner of that last picture. I think all of the Nats relieves were hiding out back there. Who knows. Maybe they were in the dugout and only planned to come out to the bullpen if needed in the game.
Anyway, there was only one guy left and it was the aforementioned Jim Lett. He was out in RF playing catch with right fielder (and former Mariner) Mike Morse. When he and Morse finished, Lett collected the LF-CF warm up ball (used by Bryce Harper and Tyler Moore), and then he tossed us one of those baseballs (not sure which warm up ball it was) as we stood right behind the RF foul pole.
Thanks, Jim!
The Nationals had 2012 All-Star Gio Gonzalez on the hill:
He pitched a very solid game.
My cellphone told me that it was mighty hot and was gonna stay that way all night:
Even though the boys really aren't fans of the heat, they did great and had a lot of fun in the shade with the water squirter:
When Bryce Harper came to the plate in the bottom of the first, my camera and I were all set to see what all of the hype is about. Instead, the young phenom strike out looking on a pitch he clearly thought was a ball, hang there hanging his head for a good 5 seconds without moving, and then do a world class pouty, slouchy walk…
…back to the dugout. So, yeah, in our first Bryce Harper at bat, Harper demonstrated his youth much more than his All-Star caliber skills.
The first scoring of the game came in the bottom of the second inning when Ian Desmond hit a solo homerun to RF.
And we just kept having fun…
…playing and squirting water every which-a-way in the shady seats. In those last pictures, Kellan is smiling at laughing at Greg who was making faces and what-not to entertain Kellan.
Harper's second at bat came in the bottom of the third inning and resulted in a groundout:
Greg bought a big all-you-can-eat popcorn. Tim requested a picture posing with "the smallest piece of popcorn" of all time:
Eventually, we decided to relocate to the 3B line, which was completely shaded. On our way, we stopped off once again at the air conditioned team store:
When we left the team store, we decided to head to the upper deck instead of going to the 3B side. Greg had been to Nationals Park once before, but had never visited the upper deck. I old him it featured a nice view of the Capitol building. And I wasn't lying:
After Tim and Greg got a picture behind home plate…
…, we grabbed some ice cream and reported to the seats at the top of section 408:
On our walk up the section 408 stairs, I almost had an ugly spill. I was holding Kellan in my left arm, and his ice cream helmet in my right hand. As I ascended the stairs, I kicked the stair and tripped. Kellan's ice cream helmet went flying. I started to fall and drop Kellan, but then I caught myself and Kellan on the way down. It wasn't pretty and probably scared the pants off of Kellan. Luckily, the little guy escaped the incident unscathed.
Hopefully that is my last time I ever trip while holding one of my boys!
Anyway, I should mention that the Rockies scored a run in the top of the fourth inning to tie up the game at 1-1.
While Kellan enjoyed his ice cream helmet, Tim enjoyed his very first ICE CREAM GLOVE!
Check that thing out! I've never seen one of those before. It is a little left handed catcher's glove designed to receive a generous portion of your favorite frozen refreshment. The only knock of I on the ice cream glove is that didn't have a Nationals logo or anything to show that we got it at Nationals Park.
Despite the single run for the Rockies in the fourth, Gio Gonzalez was still pitching quite effectively:
Kellan had a whole lot of chocolate left on him after he finished his ice cream:
In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Nats took control of the game thanks to some horrendous play by the Rockies. Danny Espinosa led off the inning with a double. Harper followed with a single on this swing:
Harper demonstrated some terrible baserunning. He tried to take second and should have been thrown out. Instead, he headed back to first. The Rockies should have thrown him out, but no one covered first. Although no error was given on the play, we'll call that a mental error by the Rockies because they failed to take advantage of Harper's bad baserunning.
Ryan Zimmerman followed Harper with an RBI single:
With Harper on first, new Rockies pitcher Josh Roenicke threw a pitch in the dirt. Zimmerman advanced to second on the play. He was going to make second easily. There was absolutely no way he was going to be thrown out. But when Zimmerman was about ten feet from second base, Rockies catcher Wilin Rosario made a horrible decision to throw to second. Rushing the throw, he air mailed the ball into CF allowing Harper to trot home for the second Nats run of the inning.
While all of this was happening, we were sitting maybe four rows from the top of the stadium. I told Greg that he would be able to see the Washington Monument if he went up to the top row. He headed up there and reported he couldn't see it. I was like, "What? Are you blind? Its right over there…"
Oops…that's a new building over there and it completely blocks what used to be a view of the Washington Monument. Too bad.
A few minute later, Ian Desmond grounded into a fielder's choice:
With two outs and runners on 1B and 3B, Roenicke tried to pick Ian Desmond off of 1B. Instead, he tossed the ball into the 1B dugout. Zimmerman trotted home on the play with the third run of the inning.
That made the score 4-1 Nationals. That score would hold up for the rest of the game.
After the lengthy bottom of the sixth inning, we relocated to some shady seats down the 3B line, all the way out by the LF foul pole. Here was our view from the back of section 108:
We could see Terrance doing his thing in the first row:
The highlight of the rest of the game was this Bryce Harper ground out:
Or, wait…no, the highlight was hanging out with my boys (and Greg)…
…and continuing to douse them with bottle after bottle of water from the trusty water fountain.
In the top of the ninth, the "Giambino" (one of my least favorite baseball nicknames) strikeout:
The Rockies just couldn't get anything going. One batter later, the game was over…
…and Screech the Eagle was climbing up on his perch to wave the "W" flag as the Nats ignited the crowd's Natitude (but nore ours).
On our way out of the stadium, a nice guy took our picture in the LF concourse:
For his payment for taking that picture, Tim was required to squirt him in the face with his water squirter.
And there you go. Another fun day at the ballpark.

The academic year of Morehouse is divided into two semesters: the first beginning in late August and ending before Christmas, the second beginning in early January and ending in May. A six-week summer session usually begins in early June.
Courses at Morehouse generally meet 50 minutes three times each week or 75 minutes twice each week. Students are advised to plan their schedules carefully. It will not be possible for students to secure their first preference for course meeting times in every instance. While the faculty is sensitive to the many obligations that students have, the course schedule is planned each semester to provide greatest access to the courses offered to the greatest number of students.
Some classes, such as science laboratories, meet at irregular hours. Meeting times for all classes are listed in thedynamic schedule posted each semester. Class schedules for the other Atlanta University Center institutions are available on their respective websites.
Students are not permitted to enroll in courses requiring prerequisites that are not completed without the written permission of the department chairperson.
Academic Advisement
The College Catalog is the best source of information regarding the requirements in the major, in the core curriculum and for graduation. Academic advisement at Morehouse College is designed to assist students in making appropriate and timely decisions about the course of study in the major sequence and in the core curriculum. First-time freshmen are assigned an advisors in the academic departments of their intended majors during the New Student Orientation period. Advisors work with freshmen to help them finalize class schedules for their first two semesters at Morehouse. Transfer students receive academic advisors similar to that of any new student. The evaluation of transfer credits is done in the Admissions department. Students with undeclared majors will be encouraged to declare a major by the end of the first year, or at least to determine in which academic division the possible major is likely to be located.
Following the first year, students continue to receive academic advisement from their advisors. Academic departments require academic advisement prior to class selection for subsequent semesters.

- Students must not destroy or alter either the work of other students or the educational resources and materials of the College.
- Students must not take unfair advantage of fellow students by representing work completed for one course as original work for another or by deliberately disregarding course rules and regulations.
- Unless directed by the faculty member, students should neither give nor receive assistance in examinations.
- In laboratory or research projects involving the collection of data, students must accurately report data observed and not alter data for any reason.
When an instructor concludes that the above standards have been disregarded, it is his or her responsibility to make the evidence available to the student and also to report the incident to the dean of student services. The instructor is free to assign any academic penalty, including failure in the course, for violations of the academic honesty regulations.

There was NO FY2009 budget signed into law by Bush. He signed a CR into law on 30 September 2008. It expired on 6 March 2009.
For those of you that are unaware of the fact that there was no Bush FY2009 and that the Left has lied to you, this is what happened:
Bush's proposed FY2009 budget called for spending of only $3.11 trillion, which was just a 3% increase. Democrats controlled the Congress and were certain that Obama was going to get elected. They wanted to wait to set 2009 spending levels on much of the government until he was in office.
The Democrat-controlled Congress only passed THREE of FY2009's 12 appropriations bills for Bush to sign before 1 October 2008, the beginning of FY2009: Defence, Homeland Security, and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs.
So, Bush signed a Continuing Resolution into law on 30 September 2008. It expired on 6 March 2009.
On 11 March 2009, President Barack H. Obama signed the FY2009 budget into law. Furthermore, Bush is not responsible for the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Stimulus Act of 2009, the Defence Supplemental of 06.09 loaded with pork, Cash-for-Clunkers, Cash-for-Caulkers, Unemployment Insurance extensions, Making Home Affordable, a massive $680 billion defence bill in September - once again laden with pork, etc.
President Obama and his Democrat Congress ended up spending $3.52 trillion in 2009, which represented a 17.9% increase in spending -- the highest single-year percentage spending increase since the Korean War.
By January 2010, spending as a percentage of GDP was 25.24% -- the highest it had been in the United States since World War II.
Yes, Obama's spending as a percentage of GDP has gone down, but only ever so slightly. During George W Bush's 8 years as president, spending averaged 19.6% of GDP. Under President Clinton, spending as a percentage of GDP was 19.8%. In the decades following World War II, the average has been 19.7%. The average for Obama's first term is projected to be 24.3%.
You can read more in detail here: The Big Lie: Obama Is A Budget Hawk
A word of advice: Saying, "Reagan did it first!" or "Bush did it, too!" is not a denial. It is a CONFESSION.
Anyhoo, the truth is the truth. Period. End of story. If you can't handle it, that's your problem. Meanwhile, Obama's spending is the world's problem. What do you think the America and the rest of the world will look like after the US collapses? I don't believe that America should be the world's policeman, but if you think Sweden is going to stand up to China or Iran, you're seriously deluding yourself and endangering the rest of us.
PPS: I am neither a Republican nor a Conservative. I did not vote for Bush [or Gore (not a citizen) or Kerry (would rather forfeit my shoe collection than vote for Lurch)]. I did vote against Obama by voting for McCain after 3 'tinis, but that's a story for another day.
