Someday, the Washington Wizards are going to bring in a decent center, and he's going to kick both of their asses. Brendan Haywood and Etan Thomas reportedly got into a fight at practice, which would make their third fight over the last two years.
I don't think anyone was hurt in the fight, at least not as badly as the last time they tangled, and Haywood pulled a couple of Thomas's dreadlocks out. Tell you what, though ... no poet has been that eager to kick ass since the WWF days of Leaping Lanny Poffo. From the Washington Post:
"San Antonio just beat us by what seemed like a hundred but I guess all that matters to him is he didn't get the minutes he thinks he deserves, so he's mad, which results in a displacement of anger," Thomas said. "What does he think, that throwing a cheap shot at me is going to keep him on the floor? Bottom line, I'm not putting up with any garbage from Brendan Todd Haywood, but at the same time, I do feel bad and upset with myself for allowing him to bait me."
Something about Etan Thomas using Haywood's middle name just cracks me up. Anytime I refer to Haywood now (which, granted, is extremely rare), he will be Brendan Todd Haywood.
Unfortunately, the DC Sports Bog doesn't appear to operate on Saturdays, but perhaps on Monday, he'll have some details on this. Perhaps there's even video, given the Wizards proclivity for recording practice-time hijinx.

BRUSSELS (AP) — An EU program aimed at slowing climate change will allow airlines to emit 85 percent of their carbon dioxide limits for free in the hope they will use the money to modernize their fleets, an official said Monday.
The European Union's existing cap-and-trade system limits the carbon dioxide emissions of power plants and big factories in the bloc by issuing permits for each ton of carbon they can emit. Each company is allocated permits to emit a set amount of carbon dioxide. They can buy extra credits if they exceed that limit or sell credits if they emit less.
Next year, all airlines flying to and from Europe will be brought into the program, which is currently being challenged in court by some U.S. carriers.
Jos Delbeke, the EU's director general for climate action, said Monday that carriers will be allowed to emit 85 percent of their limit — or cap — for free for the first year to ease the economic impact on the industry. The cap is set at 97 percent of the average aviation emissions from 2004-2006.
For the 2013-2020 period, the cap will fall to 95 percent of that number, and the free allowances will decline to 82 percent.
Delbeke said airlines would be allowed to pass on to travelers the additional cost of those permits. He estimated the per ticket cost would be between euro2 and euro12 ($2.70 and $16.20).
The EU's climate action commissioner, Connie Hedegaard, said the free allowances would save the aviation industry more than euro20 billion ($27 billion) over the next decade.
"With these potential revenues, airlines could invest in modernizing their fleets, improving fuel efficiency and using non-fossil aviation fuel," she said.
The Air Transport Association of America, which represents the U.S. airlines, together with United/Continental and American Airlines, have taken the European Union to court, arguing that its imposition of emissions caps on non-European carriers breaches international law.
The U.S. demand for judicial review and the annulment of the EU decision was originally filed with a court in Britain, which then referred it to the European Court of Justice. The court is expected to deliver a preliminary ruling before the start of 2012.
"The EU emissions trading scheme, as it applies to aviation, has extraterritorial effect and is for that reason contrary to established principles of customary international law," said Derrick Wyatt, the Air Transport Association attorney who presented the oral arguments.
The EU's position is that when aircraft touch down or depart from European airports, it has the right to regulate them.
"As much as the EU prefers global action, we can't defend that the aviation sector is exempted from contributing because they can't agree internationally," Hedegaard said in a statement Monday. She said the EU would continue to fight for global regulation of airlines at the next U.N. climate conference to be held in Durban, South Africa, on Nov. 28-Dec. 9.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments on the Love Sampler! Its so heartwarming to read what everyone has said. I was so anxious to put my last few stitches on this - I just don't do well with deadlines. We are off to the framer's later today to pick out a frame and get that organized, as well as few other small pieces that have been waiting to be framed and displayed.
Sunflower House update - but I'm not happy with how the colours look in the pictures! Really they are much nicer than how they look here. Yuko has put me to shame with how quickly she is getting through this one! I think she's going leave me far behind and finish ahead of me.
And another little finish - this is Bine's Neighbourhood RR. I love the set-up she chose, with a long row of houses. And doesn't it look sweet!

Love with a Capital L
Happy Dance with me!
I'm done I'm done!!! The wedding sampler for my daughter Carrie is finished and in plenty of time to have it framed and displayed at the wedding reception in September. And isn't it pretty, even if I do say so myself :-D
Now I wish I had kept track of the hours spent on this piece, but I think it would have to be upwards of 200. Whew, that was a lot of stitching. Its done on 40 ct Lambswool linen and used 4 skeins of Gloriana Cranberry silk floss. I love how it turned out, and I love the deep red stitching on the colour of the linen. Its my first large piece done all in one colour and I think that's what helped move the stitching along so quickly. And this is very close to the red that the bridesmaids will be wearing at the wedding, how perfect it all worked out since I started long before the dresses or colours were chosen.
But I have to admit that I am very eager to get back to my regularly scheduled stitching and some of these poor neglected pieces that have been languishing since the engagement was announced. Hmmm, and may be even something new?
Some close-ups!

Sunflower House
I missed getting a picture of my Sunflower House last week, but now here it is, with a little more to see. I finished up the house and 3 of the sunflowers. This seems to be working up quickly!
Be sure to visit Yuko's blog to see her Sunflower House too! Her pictures are much much prettier to see than mine!

New stash and new start
Thank you all so much for your feedback on my Comfort Lady's skirt! I really had some doubts and was thinking about bringing in the frogs on this one. But I guess it does make her unique so the washed out, bleached spattered skirt will remain. The Sisterhood Pattern went in the mail at the post office on Monday and is now adding more miles as she makes her way to Sue's.
And I have added another stitching lady to my collection. New stash came in the mail yesterday:
Little House Needleworks "My Needle's Work" and the 2008 Prairie Schooler Santa kit. This is my first PS Christmas kit, it came with linen and Crescent Colour fibres, I want to start this one NOW!
But I did make a small new start on the weekend:
This is "Sarah's ABC Pincushion" from Blackbird Designs' Thank you Sarah Tobias book. I am using a remnant of something....30 ct R&R linen, in a really cool coffee colour. Its perfect for this yummy Gloriana silk called Autumn Arbor, that Annemarie sent to me. As you can see its attached to her sweet little floss fob that she made! I've been saving this for just the right project :-D
Sorry for the scanned pics...hubby is still away vacationing at the cottage...with the digital camera!
And just another wee treat for your eyes, more stash:
Isn't this beautiful! Its designed after an original 'souvenir' book dated 1895. I'm in love with this but I mean it, I am swearing off big projects....well, for a while anyways.
I'm staying inside in our lovely cool A/C today. The huge thunderstorms that went through yesterday did nothing to break the hot humid weather we are having.
Have a great day!

And the Sisterhood Pattern is off to.....
Here is my lady of the Sisterhood! She's done, and I thoroughly enjoy stitching this lovely piece as my initiation. Hmm, I'm still not quite sure about her skirt. I used most GAST threads in this and the original colour I had picked for the skirt was far too dark against the lettering. So I changed to the only other purple I had ~ GAST Red Plum ~ and well, actually it is quite wonky looking. Be honest now, and tell me what you think! Weird but wonderful anyways?
And I know what you are really waiting for ~ the draw, well not so much, as I used the Random Integer Generator for this....and the winner is: Lovely Sue of Stitching and Life in the Company of Pets! Sue is a beautiful stitcher, an animal lover like me and I am so happy the Sisterhood Pattern will be going to her! Sue, please e-mail your address to me and the chart will be on its way.
Thank you to everyone who wanted to join in on the Sisterhood, I'm sure one day it will be making its way to your door! And Happy 4th of July to my U.S. bloggers!

Last chance for the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pattern!
Another peek at the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pattern ~ that's right, the eyes are missing. Isn't there just always one floss colour that you are missing!!!! Once the eyes are done and the nose outlined, my lady will be finished!
So last chance to get your name in on the draw. I'll pick a name from random draw generator on Friday morning and then off she goes on her merry travels.
And since I celebrated July 1st (Canada Day) at the cottage, I picked up Blackbird Designs Sunflower House again, this time around to start a SAL with Yuko. Its a funny looking house at the moment, as I'm just painting it in all the GAST Butternut Squash.
Lucky, lucky hubby is off for 2 weeks vacation and I guess I'm having a mini sort of vacation as I'm on my own....Nick is staying with hubby this week and Kristy is off to camp as a counsellor in training.
Thanks for stopping by!

By Jerome R. Corsi
Purchase the non-autographed versionÌÎÌ_ÌÎ__here.
Product Description
Is Barack Obama illegally occupying the Oval Office?
The question is jarring, surreal and intensely controversial: Is Barack Obama a natural-born citizen of the United States and therefore constitutionally eligible to be president? Repeated national polls suggest tens of millions of Americans donÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇt think he is, despite his release of an online image of his purported birth document.
In "Where's the Birth Certificate?" two-time No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Jerome Corsi demonstrates conclusively that no legal authority has ever verified ObamaÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs legal eligibility to be president; that glaring inconsistencies, blackouts and outright fabrications in his life narrative have generated widespread doubts; and that, in fact, a compelling body of evidence says Obama is not a natural-born citizen as is required of all presidents by Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution.
You'll read how:
Obama was born a dual citizen of the United Kingdom and the United States, a circumstance the ConstitutionÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs framers considered an iron-clad roadblock to the presidency
As a boy, Obama was officially registered in school as an Indonesian citizen, another barrier to U.S. natural-born citizenship
The press and blogosphere widely reported Obama was born at QueenÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs Medical Center in Honolulu ÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´å before deciding he was born across town at KapiÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇolani WomenÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs and ChildrenÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs Hospital
The Congressional Research Service, a public policy arm of Congress, officially admits no one in the government ever vetted ObamaÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs constitutional eligibility
In preparation for the 2012 election, more than a dozen states are considering legislation to force all presidential candidates to prove they are constitutionally qualified before they can be placed on that stateÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇs ballot
The result of three years of exhaustive research, "Where's the Birth Certificate?" establishes the case not only that Barack Obama isnÌÎÌ_ÌÎ_ÌÎå«Ì´åÇt legally qualified to be president, but that, aided by his media co-conspirators, he has conducted one of the most audacious cover-ups ever perpetrated at the highest level of American politics.

Artist Sam Kieth makes a rare public appearance at the Cartoon Art Museum on Saturday, April 27, 2013 from 11:00 AM till 2:00PM! RSVP on Facebook!
Press Release:
The Cartoon Art Museum presents Samplings and Dabblings: a retrospective, a celebration of the art of Sam Kieth. This exhibition traces Kieth's career from 1988, when he collaborated with writer Neil Gaiman to produced the first issues of the acclaimed Sandman comic book series through his fan favorite run drawing Wolverine for Marvel Comics Presents and other early works. In 1993, Kieth published perhaps his best known character, The Maxx, through Image Comics, in a series that spawned an animated spin-off on MTV's Oddities. The ever-experimental artist produced additional creator-owned works for publishers including WildStorm and Oni, and his most recent comics work including The Hollows and Mars Attacks! is available from IDW Publishing.
In addition to his well known (and occasionally not well known) comics work, Samplings and Dabblings also examines the paintings, comics and sculpture that comprise Kieth's ongoing "Trout-a-verse" project.
"In the same way, in all my stories, I'm trying to have compassion for these characters who've been through hell, or who've put themselves through hell, and are, in some way, all alter egos for me. So whether work-for-hire or creator owned, the themes are all continuous in my work. Some of the characters are owned by evil conglomerates, others are just waiting to be picked off by evil conglomerates, and some of them are so weird that no evil conglomerate wants to touch them with a stick…but they're all part of one, giant 'Sam-story.'"
The exhibition opens on March 1, 2013, the 20th anniversary of The Maxx, although museum patrons will get a sneak peek at Samplings and Dabblings on February 23 and 24. A reception is planned to accompany the release of a full-color exhibition catalog in April, to be printed and distributed by IDW Publishing. The catalog features a 10,000-word career-spanning interview with Sam Kieth, conducted by Cartoon Art Museum curator Andrew Farago. Details about the reception and catalog will be announced soon.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Ten early novels that Michael Crichton wrote under pen names while he was in medical school are coming out as e-books.
Open Road Integrated Media announced Thursday that it was releasing the first e-editions of "A Case of Need," "Odds On" and other suspense thrillers.
Crichton wrote the books while studying at Harvard Medical School in the 1960s under pen names including John Lange, Jeffery Hudson and Michael Douglas.
Open Road CEO Jane Friedman published many of Crichton's books while she was an executive at Alfred A. Knopf and HarperCollins.
Crichton's many bestsellers have included "Rising Sun," "Jurassic Park" and "Disclosure." He died in 2008 at age 66.
Other novels being released as e-books by Open Road include "Easy Go" and "Zero Cool."

Story highlights
- A DC protester goes to court saying the eviction of "destitute participants" is unfair
- Occupy DC says 50-75 protesters are on site, including a "bunch of new occupiers"
- Video shows police making arrests and taking down tents in Charlotte
- Over the weekend, protesters and police also clashed in Oakland, California
U.S. Park Police began enforcing a ban Monday on camping in two Washington parks, with Occupy protesters at one site defiantly huddling under a large blue tarp that they dubbed the "tent of dreams."
No one had been arrested as of early Monday afternoon at McPherson Park or Freedom Plaza, Park Police spokesman Sgt. David Schlosser said at an impromptu news conference frequently interrupted by protesters. But some protesters had voluntarily agreed to remove sleeping bags, pillows and housekeeping supplies, he said.
On Friday, the National Park Service set a noon Monday deadline for protesters who have occupied the parks for months to remove their camping gear. Park officials said protesters would be allowed to remain around the clock and keep up tents, so long as one side of each tent remains open at all times, officials said.
Georgia resident Dane Charles Primerano filed a complaint and motion for a temporary restraining order in U.S. District Court in Washington on Monday claiming that "the term 'camping' is defined over-broadly."
Acting as his own attorney, he argued that sleeping in the park "is unavoidable for destitute participants in a long-term political assembly," adding that calling it camping "implicitly and wrongly (suggests) that the behavior is somehow trivial, frivolous or optional."
"This is not about 'camping,'" Primerano wrote. "It is about preserving political discourse, a good more sacred than any warrior's statue, and infinitely more fragile than the park's Bermuda grass."
The threat of arrest didn't deter many in the Occupy DC movement.
On its official Twitter feed, the group claimed Monday evening that 50 to 75 protesters were on site -- including a "bunch of new occupiers."
"I'm going to do the best I can to stay here," said Emily Margaret, who has been staying at the McPherson Park camp. "If they want to arrest me, they can."
John Zangas said many fellow protesters have removed prohibited gear from McPherson Park, but others have moved in and deliberately set up camp to challenge police.
As Monday's noon deadline passed, protesters pulled the tarp over a statue of the park's namesake, Civil War Gen. James B. McPherson, to create what they called a "tent of dreams."
"Let us sleep so we can dream," they chanted.
Protesters have been camping in McPherson Park since October to rally against what they consider to be corporate greed and financial abuses.
Occupy DC said in a statement posted on its website Sunday that members "will defend the public space we have used as our center for activism," calling possible arrests of protesters a "politically motivated attempt to suppress the free speech of the disenfranchised 99%."
Pastor Brian Merritt of Washington's Palisades Community Church said area churches have discussed helping house some of the protesters overnight so that they could continue a 24-hour vigil if park police began enforcing the rules against overnight encampments.
Whatever happens with the camps and police, Caty McClure said it would not alter her and fellow demonstrators' commitment to their cause or their activism.
"The park and the occupation of the park is a tactic. It's not the movement," she said, calling the camps "a really important symbolic statement."
"If we can't sleep here, that does not end the movement," McClure said.
One man was arrested Sunday after he allegedly went from tent to tent, removing notices from the Park Service. A video posted online showed the man walking away from police as officers tried to grab him. One officer used a Taser on the man, who fell to the ground and was handcuffed.
Schlosser said Monday that the incident was under review.
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee's website indicated that more than 15,000 people had signed an online petition criticizing the incident and calling on the Park Service to "stop buckling to political pressure and to respect free speech on federal land."
White House spokesman Jay Carney mentioned the general situation unfolding at the two parks, both blocks from the White House, in his daily press briefing Monday.
"Our position has been and continues to be that we need to balance First Amendment concerns of the right to demonstrate, the right to speak freely, with public safety concerns and public health concerns," he said. "And we understand that local law enforcement as well as, in this case, the National Park Service and U.S. Park Police are weighing those considerations when they make these decisions. And that's appropriate."
Until now, Occupy protesters have been allowed to remain under a Park Service interpretation that considered the activity a "24-hour vigil."
Two weeks ago, National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis said he saw no reason to move against the encampments.
"I think if there's any place in this country, Washington, D.C., is the place where we need to be the most tolerant of individuals that are exercising their First Amendment activities," he said.
California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa disagreed, saying Jarvis was "completely out of line."
"It is not his job to interpret the Constitution over law," Issa said.
Issa, who last month wrote a letter to U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar citing damage to part of a $400,000 renovation of McPherson Square, continued his criticism at a House hearing last week and came away unsatisfied with the Park Service's answers.
Occupy DC is part of a larger activist surge that began last year in New York and quickly spread. While the protesters have highlighted a number of causes, the overarching theme has remained largely the same: populist anger over what activists portray as an out-of-touch corporate, financial and political elite.
Occupy protesters in the nation's capital aren't the only ones who have found themselves at odds with authorities in recent days.
Violent clashes, for instance, erupted last weekend in Oakland, California. Protesters trying to take-over a vacant convention center threw rocks, bottles and other objects Saturday afternoon at police, who responded with bean-bag rounds, tear gas and smoke grenades. Afterward, the activists criticized police as being heavy-handed, with police and city officials said the protesters instigated the violence.
The Oakland demonstrators later got into a downtown YMCA and, eventually, City Hall. Once there, police said that protesters painted graffiti on walls, took down and burned an American flag and committed other acts of vandalism.
Oakland police Chief Howard Jordan later said about 400 demonstrators were arrested. He said three police officers and two protesters were confirmed injured, though the Occupy Oakland forces on Twitter claimed that many more members of their ranks got hurt.
City Hall reopened Monday after an extensive clean-up effort.
Also on Monday, protesters in Charlotte, North Carolina, were given an afternoon deadline to remove tents from the site of the old city hall, CNN affiliate WCNC reported.
Afternoon video from the scene showed police taking down and carrying off several tents, and at least one protester was seen being carried away by authorities.
"We're doing the right thing, peacefully and quietly," protester Malachi Vinson told WCNC. "We're expressing ourselves in a better way than anyone else would."

Laura Diggins says she's fed up with her 8-year-old son's defiant behavior. When she found her son George guilty of taking $4 in change from her car, she decided to try a new method of discipline -- public humiliation.
"When it hit me that he stole from me, I drove him home from school today and I made that sign," the mother of three said. "Instead of beating him, 'cause that don't work, making him stand in the corner don't work, I took the game from him, that don't work. So, I said, 'Let's try humiliation.'"
Diggins kept her son out of school today and drove him to the corner of 58th and Baltimore Street in West Philadelphia where she made him wear a poster-sized sign that read, "I stole from my mom stealing is a sin."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"Today I was just fed up," Diggins said. "I didn't wanna try putting him in the corner, so that's when I came up with the idea to make him stand out there with a sign so everybody could see what he did and so he could feel sorry for what he did."
Diggins says she routinely keeps a pile of change in the car to use for parking meters. On Tuesday, she noticed that all of the change was missing except for a few pennies. When she approached her son about the missing money, she says he lied to her.
"The first thing I did was call George onto the porch and asked him, 'What happened, did you take my money?' And he looked at me with a straight face and said, 'No, I didn't take your money, my teacher gave me $6.' So when I got the word from the teacher this morning that she never gave him any money, it confirmed that he took my money," she said.
According to Diggins, this is the first time George has ever taken something that didn't belong to him from her or anyone else, but she says her son has been defiant in the past, refusing to do homework and stomping around the house when he's angry.
Diggins says numerous people who passed by George's corner of shame this morning stopped to congratulate her on her method of discipline.
"People who rode past, they were giving me thumbs up; and a few people were beeping their horns in support. I had people come up and shake my hand and say that I'm doing a great job," she said.
"I had a few people too, that stopped and talked to George, and tried to make him understand that it's not that we're making him stand on the corner to make a fool out of him, we're trying to teach him a lesson."
Diggins says she came up with the idea on her own and that her son's father, George Sr., does not agree with humiliation as a form of discipline.
"When I told him what I did, he didn't agree with that. He said George is going to resent me for that, but I told him, 'I've tried everything in the past and nothing works,'" she said.
The father could not be reached for comment.
Clinical psychologist Richard Stern cautions parents to be careful with humiliation punishments, saying they can be damaging to the bond between children and parents.
"The attachment bond, the level of trust and warmth that exists between a child and a parent is a very important factor in the child's ability to deal with challenges that they face in life. If they had a good trusting relationship with their parents, they're more likely to come to them when they're in a bind," Stern said.
"Shaming slams that door shut. If I was that child, it says to me, if I ever have a question, my mom is the last person I'm going to; and that is probably the most damaging part."
While he acknowledged the importance of discipline, Stern says that in this particular case, Diggins may have fared better by talking with her son about the incident, rather than punishing him.
"Kids need discipline. We don't want to give the impression that there are no consequences when they do something wrong. But the way not to handle it is not to publicly humiliate him. The way to handle it is to interview him about why he did it," Stern said.
Diggins, who also has an 11-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son, said she has never used this form of discipline before, but she believes it will help her son, and other children to think twice about stealing from their parents.
"I think it'll stop him from doing something like that again because now he knows that, not only do I know that he did something wrong by stealing -- which is a sin -- but other people in the world know too. Other kids that see his sign will know and say, I'm not gonna steal from my mom and my dad because they could have me standing on the corner with a sign like that."
George says he knows that what he did was wrong and that he has since asked God for forgiveness, at his mother's request.

Steve's mum bought a punnet of blueberries and they were going bad so I cooked this cake to use them up. The blueberries make this sponge lovely and moist and surely this counts as 1 portion of your 5-a-day fruit & veg!
This is so quick and easy to make, especially if you use a food processor to mix.
This is lovely served when it's still slightly warm with a nice cup of tea!
- Makes: One 8-inch cake
- Oven temperature: Gas mark 4/350°F/180°C
- Oven shelf: Middle shelf
- You will need: an 8-inch x 1½ inches deep, non-stick loose bottomed sandwich tin, greased (or silicone pan works well as no need to grease)
- 1 stick (110g/4oz) soft butter
- 1/2 cup (110g/4oz) caster sugar
- 1¼ cups (150g/50z) self-raising flour
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1½ cups (225g/8oz) fresh or frozen blueberries
- Preheat the oven to Gas mark 4/350°F/180°C.
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until pale in colour, then gradually mix in the eggs, adding a tablespoon of flour to stop the mixture splitting. Then add the rest of the flour followed by the milk.
* Alternatively put all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until smooth. Spread the mixture into the tin.
- Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for 30-45 minutes, until golden brown all over (Use the shorter time if using fresh fruit and longer time if using frozen).
- Leave the cake to cool in the tin, then turn out and dredge with icing sugar.

Still catching up on posts from the last month of so. About three weeks ago, one of Jamie's co-workers from Manila was visiting. Grace has never seen snow before, so Sylvia did her best to teach how to make snow angels. I think they did a great job.
And after two weeks ago, we can finally close the books on Christmas 2012! Ben and Bonnie were in town and were able to stop by before heading home to Hayward. We enjoyed some great conversation and a small bite to eat. Next was present time!
Ben showing off his stuffed shirt. Sylvia and Violet stuffed him up with all of the tissue paper and wrapping paper!
We all had a great time and are looking forward to spending time with Ben and Bonnie soon. Hopefully we will make it up to Hayward soon.

Joe King at this weekend's USATF Master's Championships.
Central Point's very own Joe King traveled to Boston, Mass last weekend to compete in the USA Track and Field Master's Championships. He had two races on his plate: the one mile and the 800 meters.
Joe finished the mile run on Saturday in 6:56.28. On Sunday he came back stronger in the 800 meters by finishing in 3:07.66.
So what's amazing about that? Well, Joe's 81 years young folks, and his 800 meter time was not only an American Record, but it was also a World Record. Joe broke Rune Bergman's (of Sweden) 1995 time of 3:08.88.
Congratulations Joe! You are an inspiration to us all!

Milwaukee, WI (SportsNetwork.com) - Starlin Castro belted a pair of solo home runs to back another strong start by Jason Hammel as the Chicago Cubs salvaged their three-game set in Milwaukee with a 4-0 victory over the Brewers. Hammel (4-1) scattered three hits and two walks through seven innings and struck out seven for the Cubs, who snapped a four-game skid and handed Milwaukee its first weekend loss. The Brewers were a combined 11-0 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays entering the series finale but could not get anything going with Ryan Braun and Jean Segura out of the lineup. Braun suffered an intercostal strain on Saturday but not before accidentally hitting Segura in the head with a warmup swing in the dugout. The shortstop did not suffer a concussion but needed stitches to sew up a gash near his eye. "It looks like it's gonna be a few days, maybe 3-to-5, something like that," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said about how much time Braun is expected to miss. Without the heart of the order, the Brewers managed just three hits and saw Wily Peralta (3-1) suffer his first loss of the season. Peralta lasted seven innings and was charged with eight hits and three runs -- the first coming on Castro's leadoff shot to straightaway center in the second inning. The Cubs added another run in the frame on Darwin Barney's fielder's choice groundout to third. With the bases loaded and no outs, Aramis Ramirez tagged third for the force out, but his throw home got away from Jonathan Lucroy, allowing Nate Schierholtz to score. Mike Olt tacked on a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the sixth and Castro snuck his second home run over the left-field wall off Brandon Kintzler in the eighth. Hammel came into the game with a minuscule 0.69 WHIP and continued being stingy in Sunday's series finale. The 31-year-old right-hander only yielded two baserunners through five innings, the first on an error and the other on a walk. Carlos Gomez recorded Milwaukee's first hit with a double in the sixth inning and Scooter Gennett worked a walk before Hammel wiggled out of the jam by striking out Lucroy and retiring Ramirez on a harmless groundout. "What happened in the sixth inning was I pretty much screwed myself going back and forth from signs. We were bouncing back and forth between innings, changing up signs, and I got caught up in the signs. I basically mixed myself up and kind of lost my rhythm," Hammel said. Pedro Strop and Hector Rondon each threw a hitless inning in relief to complete Chicago's first shutout win of the season. Game Notes Hammel has allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his first five starts as a Cub. He improved to 4-0 in five lifetime starts against Milwaukee ... Castro's only other multi-home run game came earlier this month on April 8 against the Pirates.

I post comments to other blogs all the time. Since I write mostly for me, and totally crack myself up, here's a few of my favorites, totally out of context, whether they need it or not:
Wikipedia once sent me a message that said, essentially "stop vandalizing our website or we will BLOCK YOU." Not nearly as awesome as the time a whole bunch of us got Banned For Life from a local bar because they had male strippers who were just awful, so we were throwing pennies at them and shouting for them to put their clothes back on. The bouncer said we were hurting their feelings and had to cut it out, or they would "remove us from the premises" which we took as a personal challenge. By the time they escorted us out, we'd run out of change, anyway, so it was totally the best part of the evening.
Men obviously think we grow boobs on purpose.
Damn. First the tequila gun, and now a five foot chicken. If they have any left, I'm driving to Texas right now. It will make up for the lack of baby pygmy goats in my yard. After you shared the video, and I watched it 5000 times, I decided to get some because they'd keep the lawn clipped, and look absolutely adorable doing it, but no, husband said we couldn't get them because of "ordinances" or "covenants" or something, so at the very least I should be able to get a five foot chicken. I deserve it.
Charlie Sheen almost out-crazies Tom Cruise. Almost. But I'm sure Tom is happy the finger pointing and laughing is aimed at Charlie for now. It won't last, because no one can totally out-crazy Tom for too long before their brain explodes or they turn into Gary Busey. Who can be that totally nuts all the time and still be walking around like a free man? Oh, yeah. Celebrities.
Lab grown meat just 6 months away. Zombie Apocalypse in 7.
Got something better? Make me laugh in the comments.

Jury reaches verdict in death of Penn Hills police officer, second man
Ronald Robinson convicted in deaths of Officer Michael Crawshaw, Danyal Morton
All sides in the Ronald Robinson trial agree that Robinson gunned down Penn Hills Officer Michael Crawshaw and Danyal Morton in cold blood more than three years ago.
But a jury at the Allegheny County Courthouse found different degrees of murder when they returned their verdict Tuesday afternoon.
Robinson was found guilty of first-degree murder for killing Morton and second-degree murder for killing Crawshaw.
Robinson was sentenced to two consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole. The District Attorney's Office decided not to pursue the death penalty after consulting with Morton's family, who did not want to proceed.
Crawshaw's family chose not to speak to reporters, but jurors did hear an impact statement from his mother, who talked about her ongoing pain after losing her son to a senseless murder.
Robinson, 35, of Homewood, confessed to killing Crawshaw, who arrived moments after Robinson killed Morton in a drug-related dispute at a home on Johnston Road on Dec. 7, 2009.
Detectives testified that Robinson told them that Crawshaw ordered him not to move, and he got scared and opened fire with his AK-47 assault rifle on the officer's police car.
Defense attorney Veronica Brestensky rested her case without calling any witnesses. She didn't deny that Robinson was the killer, but she said it was second-degree murder -- a killing during another felony, punishable by life in prison.
But Deputy District Attorney Mark Tranquilli wanted the jury to find Robinson guilty of first-degree murder.
Officer James Kuzak -- still in a wheelchair after being shot on duty in Clairton -- attended the Robinson trial last week to support Crawshaw's family. He says they've become friends.
"We wanted to make sure we could be here at least one day to kind of show the support for the family and offer them some condolences, or at least our shoulder of limited but recent knowledge. Hopefully, we can get through the case," Kuzak said.
