On a windy Sunday at the CCSU Softball Field, the Central Connecticut softball team blasted six homers and swept Saint Francis University to remain undefeated in the NEC. The Blue Devils extend their win streak to 12, a new CCSU record. Game two of the doubleheader went into extra innings and was ended with a walk-off homer in the bottom of the eighth by freshman Evie Rentzel. Central is now 20-9 overall and 10-0 in the NEC.
The Blue Devils took the first game 8-5 and claimed the second 12-11.
"Our whole line-up is swinging the bat really well and I'm proud of them," Head Coach Jeff Franquet said. "Winning 12 in a row means you're doing something right, but we're focused on one game at a time and making it to the NEC tournament."
Sophomore Laura Messina took to the circle for both games against the Red Flash (16-15, 1-3 NEC). She pitched 15 innings, struck out 15 batters and improves her season record to 15-5.
Game 1
The Blue Devils got out to an early lead in the bottom of the first inning. Sophomore Kat Malcolm, who is ranked 40th in runs per game, nationally, singled to the second baseman and was brought across the plate on a hard shot to right center by Nicole Springer. Springer doubled on the play but was left on base to end the inning with Central up 1-0.
Malcolm added three more for the Blue Devils on a left-field bomb, her sixth of the season, in the bottom of the third inning. She drove in freshman Brittany Ernst, who reached on a walk, and junior Arielle Bruno who reached on a successful bunt. Junior Tessa Brown singled to left field with one out and senior Kelsey Barlow, who holds the CCSU home run record, kept the hitting going with her 23rd career home run over the left-field fence. Central exited the inning with a 6-0 lead.
The Red Flash got on the board in the top of the fourth on a homer to left field by Chelsea Rex. She drove in three for Saint Francis to cut the Blue Devil lead in half, 6-3.
Central added two more in the bottom of the fourth to increase the lead to five. Freshman Hannah Cooper led off the inning with a single down the left field line. She was followed up by single from Ernst. With two runners on, Springer launched her second double of the game to plate both Cooper and Ernst, 8-3 Central.
In the top of the sixth, lead off SFU batter Kate Blattenberger sent a homer over the left field fence to add another to the board for the Red Flash. Freshman Sabrie Neeb notched another in the top of the seventh to end the scoring, 8-5 Blue Devils.
Game 2
Central exploded in the bottom of the first inning plating four runners to get out to an early lead. Bruno kicked off the inning with a walk followed by a Malcolm double to bring Bruno home. Springer earned an RBI on a ground-out that sent Malcolm across the plate to put Central up 2-0.
Brown launched a double to left field with one out and Barlow followed her with her second home run of the day. The Blue Devils batted through the lineup in the first inning, loading the bases, but three were left stranded after a strikeout ended the inning.
The Red Flash responded in the top of the second with a two-run homer from Rex, her second of the day, to cut the lead in half, 4-2.
Malcolm smacked her second home run of the day, the seventh of the season, to lead off the bottom of the second, 5-2 Central. Rentzel sent two more across the plate on a left field single to increase the lead to 7-2. She drove in Brown, who had reached on error, and Barlow who doubled to left field.
The Red Flash notched another run in the top of the fourth when Sabrie Neeb sent a solo homer over the left field fence. The Blue Devils exited the inning on a diving catch by Bruno to capture the third out, 7-3 Central.
Springer matched the solo homer with one of her own in the bottom of the fourth. She sent one to the trees beyond right field. Brown followed with a double and crossed the plate on a Purcell single, 9-4 Blue Devils.
Saint Francis led off the top of the sixth with a another solo homer. They succeeded in loading the bases and a one-out grand slam brought the Red Flash within one. CCSU went into the bottom of the fifth clinging to a narrow 9-8 lead.
Central quickly added two more runs in the bottom of the sixth on a Purcell single through the left side to drive in Brown, who reached on single, and Barlow who drew a walk. The Blue Devils ended the sixth up by three, 11-8.
Despite Central's best efforts to finish the game in the top of the seventh, the Red Flash batted through the lineup and tallied three runs in the inning to tie the game. The Blue Devils failed to score the winning run in the bottom of the seventh and the teams went into extra innings.
Central held Saint Francis scoreless in the top of eighth and Rentzel led off the bottom of the inning. She connected with the first pitch for the sixth Blue Devil homer of the day. The ball soared over the left-field fence to end the game and continue the CCSU win streak.
The Blue Devils registered 28 hits on the day including eight doubles and six home runs. Brown led the team with five hits and three runs on the day. Springer also had a successful day at the plate hitting three doubles and a homer. Malcolm and Barlow each hit two out of the park.
Central returns to action on Saturday, April 13, at Mount St. Mary's (10-22, 2-8 NEC) to continue NEC competition.

A San Francisco woman has a refreshing idea to help the homeless: Portable showers on old city buses.
Doniece Sandoval has received one decommissioned bus from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that three more are in the pipeline.
The 3,400 people who live on San Francisco's streets have irregular access to 16 public showers around the city.
After a retrofitting, the buses will have shower stalls and be driven to homeless nonprofits, where people will receive toiletries and towels.
The first one is scheduled to start rolling in March.
There will be no charge for showers, and the program will operate entirely on donations.

Do nothing and get paid more. It's a nice gig if you can get it — and you can get it if you run for the Illinois General Assembly.
Do nothing and get paid more. It's a nice gig if you can get it — and you can get it if you run for the Illinois General Assembly.
If Illinois lawmakers do not act, they will get a 2.8 percent cost-of-living increase July 1
In the private sector, pay raises are hard to come by. Wage freezes or wage cuts are more likely, as are unpaid furloughs and elimination of matches to 401(k) plans. You would think lawmakers in Springfield would jump at the chance to show they empathize with those of us who are getting by with less, but that's not the case.
Last week House Democrats, including Rep. Chuck Jefferson of Rockford, voted to send a measure that would have forced a yes-or-no vote on the 2.8 percent raise to the Rules Committee, which is where legislation usually goes to die.
Democrats may have been peeved because the measure was introduced and sponsored by just about every Republican including Dave Winters of Shirland, Ron Wait of Belvidere and Jim Sacia of Pecatonica. Or Democrats may have thought party loyalty and supporting their leaders were more important than doing what's best for the residents of Illinois.
Partisanship wins. Practicality loses. The state can't afford to pay anyone more. It will have an $11.6 billion deficit by the end of the 2010 budget year, it routinely pays its bills late and has the largest unfunded pension liability in the country. If there were any money to go around — and there's not — it should go to front-line workers and not part-time politicians.
The politicians are not hurting like the hardworking people of Illinois.
In July 2007 lawmakers got a cost-of-living increase of 3.5 percent. In August 2007, they got a 9.6 percent increase retroactive to Jan. 1, 2007. That increase was supposed to make up for no increases in 2003, 2004 and 2005. They put the money for their pay in a supplemental bill that included money for hospitals and school construction grants.
In July 2008 they received a 3.8 percent cost-of-living adjustment to bring their salaries to $67,836.
How many people in the private sector saw their salaries increase almost 17 percent since 2007? Not many.
Automatic increases should be abolished. Lawmakers should be required to vote on whether their pay goes up, or better yet, Illinois should adopt a system like Nebraska's, where the voters decide whether their lawmakers deserve more of their tax dollars.
Illinois has a convoluted system designed to protect lawmakers from the political fallout if they vote to increase their pay. Every two years, the Compensation Review Board decides whether state officials should get pay raises and how much those increases should be. The raises go into effect unless both chambers vote against them. Lawmakers are entitled to a cost-of-living increase every year. The Compensation Review Board signs off on the increase as determined by the Consumer Price Index. They get the raise unless they vote to reject the board's recommendation.
The state and the nation are facing unprecedented economic turmoil. Lawmakers should take a pay cut, which Senate President John Cullerton told the Peoria Journal Star Editorial Board would be appropriate considering the economic climate and the state's struggles.
We'd like to see Cullerton back up his words with action and introduce such a measure.
We'd prefer him to take it one step further and introduce legislation that would make lawmakers accountable for votes on their pay. The process of getting paid by not voting on a measure needs to end. If legislators truly think they deserve to get more, they should not be afraid to vote that way.
That would be more honest than the back-door method in place today.

"Good stuff!"
I started using this spray as a little security blanket when I started my filly under saddle. I couldn't be happier with the stick-ability of this spray, and I've had no trouble at all wiping it clean from either my saddle or my boots. It provides great grip at the bottom of the saddle flaps, and helps me keep a stable lower leg on a wonky baby. My only complaint is that it doesn't last a very long time, perhaps 20 minutes or so if there's a lot of wiggle going on, but it's amazing while it lasts! It's enough to get me through a schooling session, and most importantly, it lasts long enough for me to get my confidence up!
"Cannot remove easily"
Maybe I sprayed this on too heavy (just a couple of sprays), but could not get it off of my saddle or boots. Had to use mineral spirits to removed it. It says that it's easily removed by saddle cleaning products, but they would not budge it. It is SUPER sticky.
"wow it really works"
this stuff really works it was really woth the money

We've already previewed/reviewed the game, held a nice giveaway and even interviewed the bright minds of Gamevil right at the heart of their Seoul Headquarters. So what else is there to cover about Zenonia? The Lite version of course! Gamevil has just sent word that Zenonia Lite is here and now available at the App Store. That's right folks, the iDevice's best ARPG can be downloaded free for all to see what the fuss is all about. This version features:
- Total 8 playable main & sub quests
- Full feature play in the village of Alyes
- Normal and rare items available among 5 item classes.
By the looks of it, Zenonia Lite still offers quite a bit for gamers to sink their teeth into. I'd even say that it'd be surprising NOT to see if this one make it to #1 on the Free Apps chart in the very near future. Do yourself a favor and check it out if you haven't already done so.

bciskepottery replied to HeatherRule's topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkTry Taos Clay Studio . . . just up the road. They have a workshop option that might work.
Ways To Make Square Forms\Urns
bciskepottery replied to nancylee's topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkI use a wire cutting tool to make 45 degree beveled edges on my slabs, score the edges, and assemble. Use the triangle piece cut from the edge on the inside to strengthen the corner, or a thin coil. For boxes with tops, I follow Min's process -- make the box, let it set up, then cut the top part off. On the inside of the bottom part, I add some thin slaps to serve as a gallery or sorts.
What are cone temperatures
bciskepottery replied to DeniseCoop's topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkGood starting point for understanding cones: Use cones to make sure your digital controller is accurate and validate its temperatures. Like an insurance policy.
Bloaty Mc-Bloatface
bciskepottery replied to BornonSunsetCeramics's topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkAt one point, we were all beginners and newbies. Min and the others have given some good advice. On your bloating, does it happen throughout the kiln, or just top, bottom, or middle? Does your kiln have one thermocouple or three? Sounds like one -- which means your kiln controller is measuring its firing temperature at the middle of the kiln (also called one zone). To compensate for unevenness in temperature, the manufacturer will alter the elements for top and bottom to heat differently than the middle -- all part of their design to even out the firing. A kiln with multiple thermocouples typically measures top, middle, bottom and adjusts element heating accordingly. The cones will tell/confirm where your cool spots are. Then comes the fun part of figuring how to load your kiln to balance the heat and reduce/minimize the cools and hot spots. For bisque, if you are firing bone dry wares, no need to keep the top open -- especially if your kiln has a vent system. If no vent, some leave the kiln top slightly open, then drop it at 1000F. That allows any steam from physical and chemical water to escape. When I fired kilns for a community studio, we did a preheat because we were dealing with a wide range of work, some thick, some thin, some bone dry for weeks, some on the shelf that morning. That was a precaution for us. In my own studio, I know my work is dry, no preheat. For glaze loads, drop the top. My kiln top rises slightly during firing (1/8 to 1/4 inch) because air in the kiln expands as it heats. That is normal. If the lid does not sit flush when not on, or rises a lot -- more than 1/2 inch, you will need to adjust the hinge -- as Min suggested.
Glaze Application Questions.
bciskepottery replied to kraythe's topic in Clay and Glaze ChemistryApplying glazes takes practice; you should get better over time. Unfortunately, there may be many pieces made, glazed before you get the technique down. But I've found that is a learned skill. As many potters will have as many tricks of the trade they've developed. You sound like you have the basics (although I'm a three or four second dipper); just make pieces and practice. The part of potting that most "hate" is glazing, because it doesn't turn out the way you envisioned the glaze. But you'll get there. Some glazes are very sensitive to glaze thickness, so even rubbing down a drop on a tong mark or finger mark will leave a trace. I've use an artists paint brush to dab tong marks, let it dry, and then smooth it down until it matches the rest of the glaze thickness. Some leave the marks and let the glaze melt cover them, especially if the glaze tends to move while firing. Some glazes show those marks more than others. Spraying leaves no tong marks, but takes longer (and has a good learning curve to get right thickness).
bciskepottery replied to Callie Beller Diesel's topic in Aesthetic Approaches and Philosophyhttp://www.pixmaven.com/phrase_generator.html
Locally Made-get on the bandwagon
bciskepottery replied to Mark C.'s topic in Business, Marketing, and AccountingYep, locally made . . . with glaze ingredients/oxides mined from Africa, kaolins imported from New Zealand, feldspars from England and Spain, etc. etc. etc. And don't forget to support your local artists . . . who are more than willing to sell/ship world-wide from his/her Etsy/Amazon/personal web site. I associate the word "bandwagon" with fleeting supporters/fans who join the latest fashion or fad. Give me long-term, loyal customers who buy regardless of trends. (Just feeling the irony today). ; )

Recommended electric potter's wheel
bciskepottery replied to docweathers's topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkI am not a "big" thrower; on those really rare occasions when I do make a big item, I take the Tony Clennell approach and throw in sections . . . 8 to 12 lbs. or so. At those weights, torque is no problem. Coning, centering, and throwing 25 lbs. or so takes strength I just don't have at my age. I had an instructor who would occasionally throw a demo with 25 lbs. -- and he would collapse the ware at the end of class.
Recommended electric potter's wheel
bciskepottery replied to docweathers's topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkI have a Shimpo Whisper VL. Love it. Learned on Brents in a community studio that also had some old Shimpos and found the Shimpo foot pedal more responsive. Direct drive means fewer moving parts to replace down the road. Had I not gotten the Shimpo, I would have gone with either the Thomas Stuart (pre-bought out by Skutt) or the Bailey Pro.
Amaco dip/brush glaze compatibility issue ... help!!
bciskepottery replied to GiselleNo5's topic in Clay and Glaze ChemistryIf you are up for testing, consider letting the half pint dry out into powder, then reconstitute with water (no gum). Then treat as a dipping glaze, like the undercoat of obsidian.
Amaco dip/brush glaze compatibility issue ... help!!
bciskepottery replied to GiselleNo5's topic in Clay and Glaze ChemistryCan you also get the second glaze in powder form to mix? That avoids the whole no-gum/gum situation.

bciskepottery replied to Marcia Selsor's topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkForbes.

bciskepottery replied to Ozon's topic in Clay and Glaze ChemistryOne thing to check out is if you can get your clay dry, not already mixed. That eliminates the need to dry it out to get a powdered form. Many clay manufacturers sell their clay dry.

In order to inform environmental and development policy-making processes, UNEP keeps under review the state of the world environment.
This publication highlights the concept and selected market segments relating to payments for ecosystem services. It emphasises the role natural capital can play in both environmental conservation and in poverty alleviation, and highlights the potential benefits of ecosystem-based economic development in an accessible, non-technical manner.
GRID-Arendal hopes this publication will be helpful for policy advisors and civil society representatives (non-government, community-based organisations and local businesses) working with community-based projects providing training in relation to ecosystem services."
'An ecosystem is a dynamic complex of plants, animals, micro-organisms and their non-living environment, of which people are an integral part. The benefits that we derive from nature and rely on every day, from timber and food to water and climate regulation, are all ecosystem services', IUCN Commission for Ecosystem Management (IUCN-CEM).
Human life and activity depend directly on the health of ecosystems and the services they provide. For urban dwellers these services may seem remote, often taken for granted in day-to-day life. For rural populations, ecosystem services yield more visible benefits while for the poor in rural areas they often represent a vital lifeline for subsistence. In fact, ecosystem services form the basis of all life on planet Earth andare fundamental to human well-being.
In this publication we look at the 23 ecosystem services as described by the World Resources Institute (2011) and the United Nations Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA, 2005). Five specific market segments relating to Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) – carbon sequestration, watershed management, biodiversity, landscape beauty, and bundled services – are illustrated, drawing on case studies, graphics and photographs. An additional section explores the role PES could play in alleviating poverty.

Epic Wait at Momofuku Noodle Bar? Where to Eat Instead
It was nearly ten years ago that Momofuku Noodle Bar opened in New York, but it already feels like longer, as iconic an institution as any of the high-low, smart-fusion, upscale-casual restaurant archetypes that have redefined how we eat. A decade later, the crowds are still there, and while you can certainly stroll in some times and grab a seat at the bar, busy nights still bring long waits.
What are some easy-to-get-into, low-key alternatives nearby? Read on to find out.
Other Noodles
What's New On Serious Eats
If Momofuku's wait hasn't deterred your craving for ramen, you have plenty of options. One of New York's best, Ippudo, is a short walk away, but lines there can stretch even longer than Momofuku's. Less good, but good in a pinch, are the bowls of ramen at Minca (go for the garlic) and Setagaya, where the broth is lighter and cleaner than your average ramen.
If you're willing to walk down to Houston Street you can find some excellent ramen in an unlikely place—the second floor of Whole Foods, where Yuji Ramen does creative spins on ramen well worth trying. Yuji Haraguchi is to New York's ramen culture today what Chang started doing ten years ago.
It's not ramen, and not as fancy as Momofuku, but Xi'an Famous Foods makes some of the best noodles in the East Village. Hop in, get some cumin lamb hand-pulled noodles, and hop on out.
More Good Food Nearby
How would you describe the food at Noodle Bar? Korean? Japanese? The Momofuku crew used to refer to it as American, as good a single-word descriptor as you'll find. Or call it Chang-style food—whatever—the point is there's little exactly like Momofuku, but you can find good places nearby that hit similar flavor profiles.
Korean barbecue spot Hanjoo is rarely busy, and if you stick to their icy-cold naengmyeon (cold noodles) and crystal-grilled pork barbecue, you can have a great meal. For something lighter, consider Sao Mai, one of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants in town for stand-out pho, papaya salad, and banh mi (pork buns be damned).
For spicier food there's Somtum Der, an Isan Thai joint best for its spicy chopped meat salads (larb), papaya salad (som tum), and fried chicken. Or try out Ducks Eatery, a small restaurant that combines smoky American barbecue with southeast Asian cooking for dishes like smoky lime chicken wings and crispy pig's ear lettuce wraps.
Where to Drink While You're Waiting
Decided to wait out your Momofuku table instead? There's no shortage of good bars in the East Village where you can bide your time, but here are some of our favorites. 11th Street may be the quintessential neighborhood bar—not too fancy, not a dive—with a solid beer selection and a reasonable prices.
Wine and beer bar Terroir draws legions of fans, but there's usually room for a few more at the long communal table, and I don't mind squeezing in for a glass of wine, beer, cider, sherry, or hey!, mead. But my go-to pre-dinner bar in the East Village is actually the small one at the entrance of Hearth—same drink list as Terroir plus cocktails and a quieter, more civilized vibe.
If you need a bite before your meal, Terroir should do you well, but so can Maiden Lane, an Alphabet City wine bar that's all about premium canned seafood. How good can canned mussels be? Really, really good. Or you can belly up to the bar at nearby Alder for a cocktail (available in half-pours, too) and a bite of Wylie Dufresne's updated bar food (Chinese sausage pigs in blankets, anyone?).

It's Friday! And that means a giveaway {through Monday}. I'm jazzed about today, actually. I fell in love with KLT: Works months ago when we first started this blog.
Kristin Loffer Theiss {owner and designer} creates products that I could only dream up, specifically her klt:kids line. I am truly thrilled about today's giveaway:
So, readers, I give you a Q&A with Kristin Loffer Theiss...
Where did you go to school?
I went to the School of Visual Arts in NYC after receiving my undergrad at Central Washington University.
Applaud: Both small town + big city girl
When did you first learn to "create?"
My mother sewed most of my clothing when I was young. Even then I had a clear idea of my aesthetic. I never wanted bows or lace- just clean lines and form following function. I was a modern kid through and through. I always enjoyed looking at fabric and making strange outfits and furniture for my Barbie's too. As odd as it sounds, I also learned to create by being a big sister. I made so many things to entertain my brother. We had agreat, active, imaginary playtime. We had a playroom with a wall painted with chalkboard paint- for endless drawing and great set design possibilities. Creating things was also a way of problem solving and learning over the years.
Note to self: Chalkboard paint = cool
What are your favorite "tunes" to listen to while in the studio?
I am a music junkie. I listen to my ipod 24/7 and it is full of a wide variety of music. These 3 are constantly favorites and great to work to in the studio: Rufus Wainwright, Be Good Tanyas and Django Rienhardt. Artists that have been getting played a lot lately are: Joe Purdy, Brett Dennen and Sufjan Stevens.
Sidenote: We love these bands too!
Who is your personal favorite plush character?
If I were to pick a favorite, it might be Ollie the Owl. But, I am quite enamored with Lou and Louise Snail too. They completely crack me up. I really like all of them, but those are my top two.
Personal Memo: My favorite is Dewey Long Legs. Kelli's favorite is Ollie the Owl.
Is there anything you would like our readers to know about KLT:Works?
I guess it would be good for people to know that KLT: Works is a very small business. It is really just me that does everything. Everything is made by hand with a lot of care to attention and detail.
Sidenote: We love small business, especially one's run by women!
Down-to-earth and totally personable...if you are ever in the Northwest, please drop her a line. She'd be one to meet you at the local coffee shop. The best news of all? Kristin recently found out that she is expecting. Her first! Congratulations to Kristin on her upcoming arrival!
Also! When you purchase directly through KLT:Works {through June} she will include a handmade set of notecards to your order.KLT: Works!

Estonian citizens have the opportunity – from January to March 2013 – to design new regulations for political activity by intervening directly in the legislative process.
The decision was made at a round table called by President Toomas Henrik Ilves following a series of political and financial scandals. The round table brought together representatives of political parties, civil society, and opinion makers.
Website Rahvakogu.ee (The Citizens' Parliament) went online January 7, and allows Internet users to learn about electoral regulations, existing political parties and to propose amendments. "One does not need to be a political scientist or an lawyer to do this. The documents are presented in the simplest manner," explains Estonian daily Postimees. Proposals concerning five areas regarding the operation, role and financing of political parties as well as on the electoral process, can be sent to the site until the end of January. "The meaning of this initiative is to show that no person alone is as intelligent as the people as a whole," explains Urmo Kübar, head of NENO, the Network of Estonian Nonprofit Organisations.
At the end of January, a group of experts will study the different suggestions. In March, several days of discussions are scheduled and about 500 Estonians representing various social categories will be invited to participate. The Estonian government will then take into account the results of these discussions.
But another Estonian daily Eesti Päevaleht expresses doubts, saying –
Many people are sceptical of this new institution. Several attempts were made in the past to create a permanent link between citizens and those in power, such as TOM [Täna otsustan mina, "Today I Decide"], launched in 2001. These failed.
Yet, according to the paper,
unlike TOM, since replaced by Osale.ee ("Participate"), The Citizens' Parliament is focused on a single issue and this gives rise to the hope that it will not just become another place to sound off.

Stocks closed lower after JPMorgan's surprise $2 billion trading loss.
JPMorgan shares dropped more than 9 percent, pulling down other financial stocks with them. Most of the decline in the Dow Jones industrial average was because of JPMorgan.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 34 points to close at 12,820. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell almost five points to 1,353. The Nasdaq composite index, which is heavily weighted with technology stocks, was up a fraction of a point at 2,934.
Declining stocks outnumbered advancers almost 3-to-2.
Financial stocks fell more than 1 percent. JPMorgan admitted to losing $2 billion in trades that it says were poorly thought out.
Tech shares were mixed. Intel rose 1.4 percent after it said it's on track to meet sales expectations.

It's time to put your
hands paper in the air for the final season of The Office!
In this exclusive first look at the NBC comedy's new key art, regional manager Andy (Ed Helms) and (former) assistant to the regional manager Dwight (Rainn Wilson) are still both angling to take center stage.
The Office Exclusive: Josh Groban to return as Andy's brother
So what's new? For one, Jim (John Krasinski) is now sporting a big grin — a side effect of the exciting new job he just took on? However, Pam (Jenna Fischer) looks far more uncertain, or even worried. Her husband and best friend didn't tell her about his life-changing new job until after he took it, so we can't really say we blame her. Also, Toby (Paul Lieberstein) and Phyllis (Phyllis Smith) seem to be getting a major leg — or in one case, legs — up on the competition. What's their secret?
What do you think of the new key art for the last season?
The Office returns with new episodes next Thursday at 9/8c on NBC.

10 Steps to Stop and Prevent Bullying
Whether you are a parent, an educator, or a concerned friend of the family, there are ten steps you can take to stop and prevent bullying:
- Pay attention. There are many warning signs that may point to a bullying problem, such as unexplained injuries, lost or destroyed personal items, changes in eating habits, and avoidance of school or other social situations. However, every student may not exhibit warning signs, or may go to great lengths to hide it. This is where paying attention is most valuable. Engage students on a daily basis and ask open-ended questions that encourage conversation.
- Don't ignore it. Never assume that a situation is harmless teasing. Different students have different levels of coping; what may be considered teasing to one may be humiliating and devastating to another. Whenever a student feels threatened in any way, take it seriously, and assure the student that you are there for them and will help.
- When you see something — do something. Intervene as soon as you even think there may be a problem between students. Don't brush it off as "kids are just being kids. They'll get over it." Some never do, and it affects them for a lifetime. All questionable behavior should be addressed immediately to keep a situation from escalating. Summon other adults if you deem the situation may get out of hand. Be sure to always refer to your school's anti-bullying policy.
- Remain calm. When you intervene, refuse to argue with either student. Model the respectful behavior you expect from the students. First make sure everyone is safe and that no one needs immediate medical attention. Reassure the students involved, as well as the bystanders. Explain to them what needs to happen next — bystanders go on to their expected destination while the students involved should be taken separately to a safe place.
- Deal with students individually. Don't attempt to sort out the facts while everyone is present, don't allow the students involved to talk with one another, and don't ask bystanders to tell what they saw in front of others. Instead, talk with the individuals involved — including bystanders — on a one-on-one basis. This way, everyone will be able to tell their side of the story without worrying about what others may think or say.
- Don't make the students involved apologize and/or shake hands on the spot. Label the behavior as bullying. Explain that you take this type of behavior very seriously and that you plan to get to the bottom of it before you determine what should be done next and any resulting consequences based on your school's anti-bullying policy. This empowers the bullied child — and the bystanders — to feel that someone will finally listen to their concerns and be fair about outcomes.
- Hold bystanders accountable. Bystanders provide bullies an audience, and often actually encourage bullying. Explain that this type of behavior is wrong, will not be tolerated, and that they also have a right and a responsibility to stop bullying. Identify yourself as a caring adult that they can always approach if they are being bullied and/or see or suspect bullying.
- Listen and don't pre-judge. It is very possible that the person you suspect to be the bully may actually be a bullied student retaliating or a "bully's" cry for help. It may also be the result of an undiagnosed medical, emotional or psychological issue. Rather than make any assumptions, listen to each child with an open mind.
- Get appropriate professional help. Be careful not to give any advice beyond your level of expertise. Rather than make any assumptions, if you deem there are any underlying and/or unsolved issues, refer the student to a nurse, counselor, school psychologist, social worker, or other appropriate professional.
- Become trained to handle bullying situations. If you work with students in any capacity, it is important to learn the proper ways to address bullying. Visit www.nea.org/bullyfree for information and resources. You can also take the pledge to stop bullying, as well as learn how to create a Bully Free program in your school and/or community.
An additional, yet very important step, is to take at least one child to see the Bully movie, and then use it as an opportunity to begin an on-going conversation about bullying. Requests for additional screenings can be made at www.thebullyproject.
NEA's "Bully Free: It Starts With Me" campaign provides information and resources to assist schools, parents and community leaders in addressing issues of violence and bullying in schools, including:

Stanczyk is tired, perplexed and satisfied ! If you love genealogy then you probably love the new finds — not just the elation and the happy dance that ensues, but because most new finds also cause new questions that need to be solved or addressed.
For years, I have been searching for my LESZCZYNSKI roots (korzenie Leszczynscy). Previously only my friend Jacek from Krakow was able to locate some Leszczynskich in Biechow. He did not tell me his source for these records (no citation) and I have not been able to locate a source for them either — most perplexing. He also left me with, "You might want to look in Stopnica some day.". That enigmatic quote always lingered with me lo these many years.
Now in January, GenBaza.pl came up with AD_KIELCE and AP_KIELCE scans online!!! By Kielce, I mean the former Wojewodztwo / Gubernia (or the regional Archives, both civil and religious). This is where my ancestral villages have all been located (so far). So I took Jacek's long ago advice and looked in Stopnica for Leszczynskich … But how was I ever to connect the Stopnica LESZCZYNSKICH with my Biechow LESZCZYNSKICH?
Well as I was gorging myself with the ELIASZ of Pacanow in GenBaza, I was using GENTEKA as a kind of index into where I should look in GenBaza (which Years, and which Akts #). So I decided to search for Leszczynski using this method and looking at Births/Marriages/Deaths in Stopnica. There were 29 marriages (małżeństwa) in the parish of Stopnica, a parish I knew rather nothing about, much less the town families. But I stopped dead on one marriage. One Leszczynski, Jan Leszczynski, had a mother with a maiden name, Kordosz. Now I knew that my great-grandfather Tomasz married a Julianna Kordos (born in Swiniary). So I became very interested in Małżeństwa (Marriage) Akt #73 in 1881 Stopnica. Mystery solved! When I read the record I found that Jan's parents were Tomasz & Julianna z. Kordosz[sic] Leszczynskich and the ages were correct. So I had my missing link to Stopnica. I also knew that Falęcin would be a focal point in the Stopnica parish. So I found all of Jan Leszczynski & Antonina Sieradzka 's children born in Stopnica. I also found that Jan had a few siblings who also married in Stopnica and between these Stopnica records and a few new ones in Biechow and examining witnesses and God Parents I had the correct set of records and more confirmations of other family knowledge. But I have digressed. This is a blog about my findings from a Genealogical Conference in Salt Lake City — UPGS, 2014.
As a result of my earlier GenBaza finds, I had new clues/mysteries that needed solving, plus some from other records that I had wanted to research in LDS microfilm. So I went to UPGS to find out if Kroczyce, Palecznica, and Wolica had any records for me. Here are my BIG finds:
- Pelagia Kedzierska's birth record, 28-October-1882 in Kroczyce parish.
- Maciej Wlecial's birth record, 28-February-1868 in Laszow, Palecznica parish.
- Tomasz Leszczynski 's birth record, 19-December-1829 in Wolica (village, parish, gmina).
This jester hit ALL of his major goals. Sure I did not find Jan Leszczynski or Franciszek Leszczynski birth records or Tomasz Leszczynski's 1st marriage record to Julianna Kordos. But I found Tomasz Leszczynski's birth record. At least I am 80% sure on Tomasz — I need his marriage record to prove it 100%, but I will now begin to make a case to myself via Social Network Analysis (SNA) whether this is indeed the correct Tomasz or not.
It turns out that Tomasz's (20-December-1829) was a twin (Szczepan his twin). I also knew Tomasz's parents were: Jan Leszczynski, age 30 (-> born about 1799) and Anna Owczarczyk age 29 (-> born about 1800). I also knew the names of the witnesses and the God Parents too. One God Parent made me take note: Tekla Slawinska. It turns out the Anna had a very rare name: OWCZARCZYK. So I was able to find her marriage record to Jan Leszczynski … in DZIERAZNIA (a nearby parish to Wolica, with many cross marriages). So now I had a fourth major find in my 2x-great-grandparent's marriage record 19-JULY-1825 in Dzieraznia parish (village/gmina/powiat) of Szysczya. So now I had the names of yet another generation: Antoni & Katarzyna Leszczynskich. Now I have my 2nd & 3rd great-grandparents in the Leszczynski line. I also had two more parishes: Wolica & Dzieraznia!
A great adventure to be sure. I had many other finds that were not so as notable. I had success in my Croatian VESPEKs line too. Also a minor confirmation of my wife's paternal grandmother's village: Kovesliget (Maramaros region) of Austria-Hungarian (aka Hapsburg) Empire. Kovesliget is now in modern day Romania. The creme-de-la-creme … doing the research while surrounded by my Polish Genealogy friends at UPGS 2014. Priceless!

1970 GMC 2500 Custom: Retirement Plan
David Teeple is livin' the dream with his '70 GMC
Retirement, for some people, means daily brunch at the country club, getting the Cadillac washed once a week, and spending wintertime in Florida. This isn't David Teeple's style, however. Teeple, a retired Lockheed Martin quality engineer, is often found behind the wheel of his '70 GMC 2500 Custom, exploring trails that would stop a normal fullsize truck dead in its tracks.
His GMC is a textbook example of how to build a fullsize truck for the trail without scrambling the retirement nest egg. He estimates the GMCs value at only $20,000, but the truck is fitted with proven, common parts that have a reputation for longevity. "I performed some work, but most modifications were performed by Curtis Lee and Kevin Bryant. Curtis and Kevin have turned this truck into a very capable rock crawler for my retirement pleasure," Teeple says.
How capable is the truck? "We have wheeled The Rubicon, Fordyce Creek Trail, and now The Hammers at Johnson Valley. This rig has handled all obstacles on all trails without winching. Most recently she managed Chocolate Thunder and Sledge Hammer. Yes! This beast made it up Chocolate Thunder easily," Teeple triumphantly notes.

Extreme mobility
When mud or sand have swallowed the road, the only way to stay out of trouble is to keep moving. Automatic Traction Control (ATC) makes sure you do just that. This revolutionary feature automatically engages the front axle at the exact moment you need it – and disengages it when you don't. Then there's Volvo Dynamic Steering, which makes steering effortless and smooths out every bump in the road.
ATC provides all the benefits of a selectable driven front axle, whilst being just as convenient as a permanent system.
