New thought bubble
Slowly trying to re familiarize myself with hand-drawn animation. I take comfort in everyone telling me how hard horse walks are: and it certainly took me quite some time. could do with a bit more polishing, but I'd best move on to the next one... AND maybe have some actual proper illustration on here before Febuary....

T+T been so busy entertaining my friends at my family farms I failed to get these posted. Ah well, happy holidays nonthless
I hate just doing these direct paintings of photographs, but it's amazing how people like an (attempted) photo realistic painting...

Heh, a few more animations, actually they were done a while ago :). Just to fill up my blog more heh. Also to find out if I'm going to far or not >_< Especially the bottom one could easily be taken out of context :T. UGH I know i'm taking a huge risk with Jenny's design, but i'm kinda commited now, so I gotta keep my fingers crossed the context of the film will overshadow her lips T_T

| Pure Gamer chapter 6 . 11/9/2013
Why, why isn't there more?!
This chapter was, as usual, completely amazing. Everything is so spot-on. I considered saying something about the feeling of being rushed through the chapter, but honestly that's not even a concern. Yes, it is rushed, but I can so easily forgive it that I shouldn't have even mentioned it.
I can't wait for the upcoming chapters. An eevee has been thrown into the equation, eh? Ahhh, how dare you make me wait. But I shall wait patiently.
Keep writing!
***Oh, something I forgot to mention last chapter: I didn't really like Suicune's speech, just because I picture her/him with a lot of grace and majesty, but that's just me. Really I picture any and all lengendaries to be graceful, majestic creatures. Again, my opinion.
| Pure Gamer chapter 5 . 11/9/2013
Now how would a magikarp go about shrugging? I mean, he technically-Nevermind. This magikarp just flew, screw it.
I did not find this chapter mediocre, mind you. I found it great. Like the others. This has probably become my favorite story on Fanfiction. Nope, it has become my favorite story on Fanfiction. (Sorry Unintended Complications)
Actually, I meant to add this in the first review, this story does inspire me to write. I've been itching to write ever since I started reading this, but I only have one chapter left, I MUST FINISH. And then you must write more. While you're doing that, I'll be writing my plethora of Fanfiction, all the while be depressed when I realize my stories won't be as good as this and my characters aren't as epic as a freaking magikarp. Heh.
Oh, and I'll give a much deserved shout-out of this story in my next Authors Note.
Keep writing!
| Pure Gamer chapter 4 . 11/9/2013
Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming, what do we do? We swim.
Well thank you for getting that stuck in my head.
Anyhow, I had a thought. Since the magikarp is uncaught...Someone evil could attempt to catch him with a Master Ball during battle, or anytime. Plot twist! Just an occurring thought I decided to share. I've realized that I enjoy it when people tell me their occurring thoughts or what a certain scene reminded them of, it helps me to realize that people are actually reading and most importantly thinking about my story.
About the first authors note: Being someone who has been wicked stereotyped for things I can't control, or otherwise, I'm not a fan of such things. I like how you're writing with a purpose and this story has a moral behind it. So really, thank you for writing about this! I hate stereotypes with a passion, because I like to think I'm not one; actually, I like to think I'm very different; therefore when people pull out the stereotype bag, it's not pleasant.
I agree with you...The ending was sudden. But that's allowed to happen every once in a while. Not every ending should end with an epic reveal, cliffhanger, etcetera. Although, this chapter didn't seem so much like a filler and probably deserves a spunky ending, it's quite alright. I read a book not too long ago that had chapters that ended abruptly in EVERY SINGLE chapter. It got quite annoying, and I like to feel closure with an ending. Or sometimes not, if it ends in a cliffhanger that leave me dying to turn the page. But again: This ending was fine, don't worry about it. Closure was there, it was just a bit rushed.
Awesome chapter. Awesome story. Awesome everything. Keep it up, keep writing!
| Pure Gamer chapter 3 . 11/9/2013
You know, one wouldn't expect the epicness of this story to be so prominent, but this has to be the most epic story ever. Epic.
Personally, I don't think you have anything to worry about when it comes to this writing style. It's my favorite by you, and you've got it down pretty nicely. Don't worry, you're a pro.
I can't think of one bad thing to say. Astounding work here, my friend. I could fill this review up with flowery compliments, but alas, I must get to the next chapter.
Keep writing.
| Pure Gamer chapter 2 . 11/9/2013
Heh, heh, albino Wailord.
Heh, heh, tooth necklace. That whole spiel was handsdown my favorite part of this chapter.
Whoa...I'm kicking myself for not coming around to reading this story before. This was so epic. Your creativity is a gift. Take the tooth necklace Styx thing, who else could have thought of that?! There were so many moments where I looked at something and was like, wow, that was truly witty and creative.
Speaking of witty and creative, the humor really was the cherry on top of an amazing story. I chuckled more than once.
Your characterization skills make me envious. Magikarp's character is...I can't even describe. And him having an ego the size of the moon is really awesome. Ahhhh! This whole story is awesome! I could ramble about your talent as an author all freaking day, but frankly I don't want to cause I wanna read more!
I can no longer express how amazing this story is. But seriously, you have something great (to say the least) on your hands. Keep writing!
| thechinskyguy chapter 6 . 9/14/2013
I can't say that I'm a huge fan of the first person narrative, or Magikarp's formal diction, but I still liked the story. It's novel, particularly because you don't have many fics that are both in a pokemon's POV and isn't a Mystery Dungeon fic. I don't wanna say that it flowed, because that's much too generic of a term, but it swam upstream. It kept my attention throughout, and only the formality of it all kept it from being perfect. Awesome job!
| DeathGoblin chapter 6 . 9/9/2013
The crystalline unknown sound interesting. As for the attack on Team Rocket, I like the character development it gave Magikarp. While this writing style doesn't do as much for putting me in the moment, it is still fun to read, and that seems like part of the point.
| DeathGoblin chapter 5 . 9/9/2013
I didn't think this chapter was too bad, but one thing I don't like is the dialogue (except for Suicune's). Everyone just seemed too articulate. I can accept it for Magikarp since he's intellectual, but everyone just sounds the same without any contractions or slang to differentiate them.
Plotwise I think this establishes two important things: 1) Marikarp's retained power boost from evolving. 2) Why Magikarp would want to battle Arceus in the first place.
Though on the subject of stereotypes, there's a difference between saying all humans have personality X and saying all humans are subject to gravity (barring any technology or magic). While this story seems to want to fall into the former (in terms of Magikarp's abilities), the fact that he retained the power boost from gyarados might undermine that, implying that he needed to at least have the power of his evolved form to win.
Also, I don't think you need to make magikarp a power house to write an interesting story about it. Not every story needs an epic scale to be interesting.
| DeathGoblin chapter 4 . 9/9/2013
I'm not sure if I can suggest anything about a seemingly abrupt ending. It didn't really feel abrupt to me, so all I can say is that if you've told a complete event. Maybe ending on a longer sentence could make it feel less abrupt, but that's all I can say.
I really like the way marikarp describes things it gives perspective both on the pokemon world and on his personality.
| DeathGoblin chapter 3 . 9/9/2013
I think you're doing fine so far (I personally favor third person over first person though). This writing style definitely makes the magikarp more relatable though since there's less of a hurdle in getting inside its head.
| DeathGoblin chapter 2 . 9/9/2013
This is a pretty interesting perspective on magikarp and what they are capable of. It also makes sense that if magikarp could leap mountains, they could also fatally injury humans with Splash attack.
| DeathGoblin chapter 1 . 9/9/2013
I've never read Hemingway, but I like this writing style. It's easy to follow without describing too much and the lack of big block paragraphs makes it a fast read. One thing that confused me (not confused in terms of following the story) was the choice to make Arceus talk in itallics and Magikarp in normal format. Was it to differentiate them, because there are times when the paragraph changes, but it's still the same person speaking.
As for the plot, I like the idea of a lowly magikarp overcoming challenges and showing the creator how detached he is from his creation.
| WerdnaTheRed chapter 6 . 9/8/2013
That was great. I like the inclusion of the crystal unown, and the ending was much fantastic! It's great that you seem to have his whole adventure prepared, even with all the little twists and tangents.
| PkmnMaster Rolf chapter 6 . 9/8/2013
And it's back! Hip hip Hooray! Keep writing this, Espeonage!

A press conference was held at Green Tsuda Boxing Gym in Osaka City, Japan - where Japanese #15 world ranked WBA middleweight Nobuhiro Ishida (24-8-2, 9 KOs, 37 years old) officially announced that he would challenge undefeated middleweight world champion of the IBO/WBA Gennady Golovkin (25-0, 22 KOs, 30 years old and resides in Germany) on the 31st of March at Chapiteau de Fontvieille in Monte Carlo.
Ishida has already left for Los Angeles, where he plans to starts his training camp with Rudy Hernandez. Ishida knows the danger involved and he expects a real challenge, but that doesn't stop his motivation to make it a war.
"I think at this moment Gennady Golovkin might be the strongest man in the world at middleweight. Gennady Golovkin is the toughest opponent among those that I've faced in my boxing career. This could be my last opportunity worldwide. I'm going out there to make it a good fight and come forward despite the danger of being knocked out. Whenever there is will power, it could break many barriers that are in the way," Ishida said.

Erie 9, Binghamton 1
Erie starter Kyle Lobstein took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and led the SeaWolves past the Binghamton Mets by a 9-1 score on Thursday night at NYSEG Stadium. The B-Mets were held to a season-low two hits in their second straight loss.
The SeaWolves grabbed an early lead, plating the first run of the game three batters in against B-Mets starter Logan Verrett. Daniel Fields led off the game with a single, stole second and scored on a double from Ramon Cabrera.
Erie put the game out of reach with five runs in the fifth. The first four batters reached safely on singles. Marcus Lemon doubled the lead with an RBI single and two runs came home when Cabrera beat out a potential inning-ending double play with the bases loaded. Tyler Collins put an emphatic cap on the inning with a two-run homer to left.
Verrett (4-1) was tagged for six runs on eight hits in his first Double-A loss. The righty tossed six innings without walking any SeaWolves. He struck out just one, the fewest strikeouts he has collected in any of his pro starts.
Erie kept the offense going against reliever Josh Edgin in the seventh. Hernan Perez looped a triple down the right field line and Cabrera walked to set the table for Collins. The left fielder blasted a payoff pitch to right for his second homer of the game and fourth of the series. The round-tripper gave Erie a 9-0 lead.
Meanwhile, Lobstein easily handled the B-Mets lineup through the first six innings. Binghamton managed just two baserunners on an error and a walk. At one point, the southpaw retired 18 of 19 B-Mets.
Binghamton finally ended the no-hit bid in the seventh. After a throwing error and a walk put two aboard, Cesar Puello dumped a two-out RBI single into right field. The hit, which extended Puello's hitting streak to nine games, plated Josh Rodriguez with Binghamton's only run of the game.
Lobstein (3-2) finished the inning and earned his third win of the season. He allowed just one unearned run on one hit. The lefty walked two and struck out six. Will Startup and Justin Souza each posted shutout innings to secure the win.
The B-Mets (14-13) start a three-game series against the Harrisburg Senators at Metro Bank Park on Friday night at 7:00 PM. RHP Jacob deGrom (0-2, 4.91) opposes RHP Blake Treinen (2-3, 4.76).
Key Stats
Darrell Ceciliani: 1-for-4
Josh Rodriguez: 0-for-2, 1 R, 2 BB

200,000 Web Hosting Clients and ClimbingThursday, September 10, 2009 by Brent OxleyHostGator recently reached 200,000 active customers and we are on pace to break 300,000 within a year. I remember when I'd be out celebrating if HostGator managed to get two signups in a week. Now, we're seeing thousands of signups a week. Back in the day, my celebrating consisted of nothing more than dropping the Ramen noodles or the tuna can I had in my hands and grabbing some sushi for an hour before scrambling back to work. At the time, I was a poor college student who invested every penny I had back into the business I was building. The HostGator.com domain was registered on October 10, 2002 and here are some statistics about how many active customers we've had at a few points since then.

I had recently experienced a strange issue with a SSIS Package. This was basic package that copied data from a SQL Server table to a text file. This SSIS package was deployed in production for several months without issue, until – a minor change needed to be made. The change was insignificant; the location (path) of the output file (a config file is usually used but in this case I wanted to edit the package) needed to be changed. I had changed the path, built and deployed the package. Soon after deploying the package I received word that the file created was not correct.
I reviewed the output file and noticed that each record (line) ended with strange hex looking data: _x003C_none_x003E__x003C_none_x003E_
I scratched my head for a bit, reviewed the package's source and destination connections and could not find where this odd _x003C_none_x003E_ data was coming from. I decided to view the package with a different editor and realized that somehow the Text Qualifier property for the Flat File Connection Manager was set to this "strange" sequence.
I removed the value, built and deployed the package and everything was back to normal – well as normal as it could be…

When Isobel meets Phineas Archer at a masquerade ball, she lets down her guard (but not her mask), revealing a hidden passion. As an agent assigned to root out a kidnapping plot, Phineas is intrigued by the mysterious woman. When he discovers her identity and her strange behavior, she becomes a suspect in the plot.
What was your inspiration for Isobel and Phineas?
I love taking favorite fairy tales and interpreting them in new ways! The original concept was "Cinderella" meets "The Scarlet Pimpernel." Cinderella longs to go to the ball and meet the prince. Isobel gets that wish, but like Cinderella, her fantasy turns back into the ugly pumpkin of her real life until her true love finds her. "The Scarlet Pimpernel" is a wonderful old movie about a clever spy who covers his secret mission by playing a rake and a fool.
Tell us about your road to publication?
I submitted to an agent several years ago and didn't recognize her rejection as the encouragement it actually was. She said my work had merit, and to keep trying, but I was so green that I only saw "no".
When I moved to Calgary and started writing full time, I began submitting to contests, joined a critique group, and pitched to agents and editors whenever the opportunity came up. There were still plenty of rejections, but I made it a rule to send the poor rejected thing back out again within a week - including the times I got bad contest feedback.
I was lucky enough to meet my wonderful agent Kevan Lyon at a conference. She rejected the first book I sent, but loved the next one, which was "Secrets of a Proper Countess." So persistence definitely pays off!
Who are some of your favorite romance authors/books?
I love Mary Balogh, Jo Beverly, and Julie Garwood's marvelous Scottish romances, but my all-time favorite romance is Jude Deveraux's "A Knight in Shining Armor". I still cry every time I read it.
What do you think the appeal of historical romance is?
In the A&E mini-series "Pride and Prejudice," there's a scene where Mr. Darcy (Colin Firth) stands in the driveway at Pemberley, staring after Elizabeth as she drives away. The look of longing and restraint perfectly describes what historical romance is all about to me. What woman doesn't want someone to look at her like that?
Historical romance sweeps us to a time with different rules. These rules and manners dictated behavior and love, and although we want a modern historical heroine to overcome those rules and prove herself worthy of true love, the order and grace of the Regency has tremendous appeal. We all want the gentleman, the knight, or the brave and daring hero to capture our hearts.
What is the most surprising thing you have learned about publishing a book?
I thought the learning curve on the other side of publishing was tough! Hang on to your hats aspiring authors, because there's another learning curve after that publishing contract is signed! I've learned how to do copy edits, plan and use publicity, and understand how to work with my editor.
I've gone from someone who could barely send an e-mail with an attachment two years ago (really!), and couldn't figure out Facebook at all, to being comfortable navigating social media.
According to a poll Avon recently conducted, seventy percent of respondents said they find information about new books by looking on Facebook. That's a huge number, and it's a completely new way of reaching and interacting with readers.
When is you next release and will they feature any characters from "Secrets of a Proper Countess"?
My second book, "The Price of Temptation" is scheduled to be released in January 2012. This story features Evelyn Renshaw as the heroine. Evelyn was a minor character in "Secrets", appearing as the hostess of the ball where Phineas and Isobel first meet. Her husband Philip, however, was one of the villains. He's stolen a treasure from Napoleon, and both the French and the British want it back.
Evelyn's hero is a soldier with his own wrongs to right. Disguised as a footman, he is sent to spy on her in hopes she'll reveal her husband's hiding place. But is Lady Evelyn wife or widow?
This story also includes Adam and Marianne De Courcey. Marianne is Phineas's sister in "Secrets", and I loved these characters. Marianne is bold, brash and outspoken, while Adam is a restrained gentleman to the tips of his manicured nails, despite being a spy-master. Someday I hope to go back and write Adam and Marianne's romance.

It was beyond wonderful to be with my parents, sister and her boyfriend, and to see them interact with the kids. We are so blessed to have such a loving family, especially one that's willing to travel across the country to be with us. I'll post pictures of our time together as soon as I sort through the 300-plus photos I took. Until then, I'll leave you with the last images from our trip.

ST. PETERSBURG — It took exactly one pitch for East Lake's Brad Deppermann to settle into Tuesday night's Class 7A region semifinal against Northeast.
Deppermann, the Eagles' leadoff hitter, homered to left center on Josh Hale's first pitch and East Lake never looked back in a 9-0 victory.
Deppermann also pitched seven strong innings, striking out 11 and allowing three hits for the shutout. In fact, Deppermann had more hits (four) than hits allowed.
"He's the best pitcher I've ever seen in high school as far as velocity and location," Northeast coach Rob Stanifer said. "He was the real deal tonight. It was his night for sure. We ran into a buzz saw."
East Lake (21-8) had no luck against the Vikings before Tuesday, losing both regular-season games and the district final. But Deppermann and some hot bats made sure the fourth time was the charm.
After his first-inning home run, Deppermann followed with an RBI single in the second to score Andrew Belcik. He added a double and a run scored in the fourth inning. His first three hits came on three pitches. He was 4-for-5 with a homer, a double and two singles.
In the third, Andrew Monahan got into the act with a two-run homer off reliever Ryan Quinlivan to make it 4-0. Monahan was 3-for-4 with a double and homer.
East Lake padded the lead in the sixth with a run then blew the game open with three in the seventh. It was the most runs by the Eagles since Feb. 14 against IMG Academy.
Deppermann didn't give up a hit until the fifth inning and never more than one in an inning. Northeast (24-5) only got one runner to second base, and that came in the second inning as its 18-game winning streak ended.
"Our first loss of the season came on this field and we didn't want our last loss to come on this field," Deppermann said. "We're all starting to peak at the right time."
East Lake will play Friday at Melbourne in the region final, East lake's first since 2002.
Eagles coach Dan Genna was confident having Deppermann on the mound, and especially after the leadoff home run.
"Honestly I thought two or three runs would do it," Genna said. "I haven't seen Brad give up too much more than that in a game. And the way he pitched against Sarasota's lineup, he was ready."
Northeast hoped to start lefthander Colton Tison, but he was scratched in favor of Hale. The Vikings used four pitchers against the Eagles.
"(Tison) wasn't 100 percent so I wasn't going to pitch him," Stanifer said. "That kid's got a future to worry about. Josh has been a horse all year."

By Chris Robinson
The great thing about any notable HBO pay-per-view event is that no matter your fondness towards the matchup itself, you can always count on either an excellent countdown feature or the outstanding 24/7 series that unveils a closer look into the lives of the prizefighters as they prepare for their moment with destiny. This past Saturday night, the first episode of Pacquiao-Margarito 24/7 debuted and the premier had its share of worthwhile moments.
From Pacquiao's newfound involvement in congress, Margarito's rejuvenation alongside new trainer Robert Garcia, and the verbal doses from trainer Freddie Roach, the moments were fairly telling.
Pacquiao's love for congress
The early scenes of the show took us to Baguio City in the Philippines and gave us a look inside Manny Pacquiao's preparation as he gears up for the November 13th clash to be held at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. What instantly stood out was just how involved Pacquiao is with his new political role as the congressman of the district of Sarangani.
Roach noted that for the first few weeks of camp Pacquiao's mind was preoccupied with his congressional duties and seemed slightly concerned. Roach also noted that he is sure the boxing world will one day lose Pacquiao to congress.
Margarito pleads his innocence
One of the big storylines surrounding the fight is the hand wrap controversy that fell upon Margarito in early 2009. Prior to his bout with Shane Mosley, Margarito was caught with elements of plaster of paris in his hand wraps and later suspended a year by the California State Athletic Commission. It was a discovery that shattered Margarito's reputation in the sport.
Speaking on the matter further, Margarito insisted his innocence and claimed that he didn't know what his trainer Javier Capetillo was up to. Given their take on the matter, both Roach and Pacquiao claimed that Margarito had to have known that what was taking place was illegal.
Pacquiao's preparation
Pacquiao reportedly got off to a slower than expected start in camp but during the clips he seemed to be fast and committed with his training. Pacquiao was seen sparring bigger men in Mexican Michael Medina and New Jersey prospect Glen Tapia and was able to cope with their advantages in size by using his speed and quickness.
Margarito's care free nature
The one thing that stood out about Magarito during his interviews was just how relaxed and calm he appears in front of the camera and in training. Teaming up with Garcia has seemed to give him a newfound focus and you can sense just how much he believes in his abilities.
Margarito has a sense of conviction with his words and said time and time again how this is the perfect opportunity for his career. The highlight of his career was his July 2008 thrashing of Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and he will have to be better than he was on that night to pull out a victory.
Mayweather fallout
Although the fascination of a fight between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. has tapered off severely, a 24/7 on the Filipino star wouldn't be complete without mention of the undefeated Las Vegas stalwart. Various images of Floyd were shown as the narrator mentioned the two fallouts that took place between both camps.
Asked for his take on the situation Pacquiao said his career would be fine without a Mayweather fight and seemed to scoff at the notion that Floyd's accomplishments were anywhere near his own.
Antonio Margarito's wife Michelle
Antonio's wife Michelle was featured on the show and discussed just how hard the past year and half has been on her and her husband. Married for over twelve years, Michelle is a regular at Antonio's training camps and seems to keep him at ease. Speaking on what the fight means to her husband's career, Michelle feels that a sense of karma will be in play.
"It was really tough, what Tony went through last year," she said. "He's had some trying times. I think at the end of our paths there is always a light. And that light is shining brightly now. They say that when something bad happens, that something good follows. That's what I think is happening to Tony right now."

Obama returns to Washington with a busy agenda ahead
U.S. President Barack Obama walks with daughter Malia on the first family's return from vacationing in Hawaii, on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Sunday, Jan. 6, 2013. (AP / Jacquelyn Martin)
Matthew Daly, The Associated Press
Published Sunday, January 6, 2013 1:47PM EST
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama has returned to Washington after a winter vacation in Hawaii that was interrupted by the "fiscal cliff" crisis.
Obama landed at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland on Sunday morning after an overnight flight.
The president's annual end-of-year visit to his native state was disrupted just after Christmas when he was forced to return to the capital to help broker a solution on a plan to avert a combination of tax increases and spending cuts that could have plunged the economy back into recession.
He returned to Hawaii on New Year's Day.
Obama faces a full agenda in Washington, including possible appointments of a new defence secretary and CIA director and a meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Alaska's unemployment rate is falling, but Juneau's held steady in June even as hiring continued.
The state's seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate fell to 7.9 percent, the first time in more than a year it has been under 8 percent.
Throughout the state, summertime hiring resulted in thousands more workers being hired in seasonal jobs such as construction, tourism and seafood processing, according to the Department of Labor and Workforce Development's monthly unemployment report, issued Thursday.
Alaska has, for much of the last few years, been in the unusual situation of having a lower unemployment rate than the nation. In June, that gap actually widened as the state gained jobs faster than the nation.
The number of people employed in the state rose from 325,000 in May to 342,000 in June, outpacing the nation's slowly growing gain in jobs.
In June, the increase in employment showed up most dramatically in the decrease in the number of weeks of unemployment benefits claimed. In May 96,793 weeks of unemployment were claimed, compared to 63,362 in June, a 32.5 percent decrease.
Alaska also did better than the nation when the unemployment numbers were seasonally adjusted to take into account typical seasonal variations.
In June, Alaska's seasonally adjusted rate was 7.9 percent, down from 8.2 percent in May and 8 percent the previous June. The U.S. seasonally adjusted rate was 9.5 percent in June, down from 9.7 percent in May and unchanged from a year ago.
In June, seasonal tourism hiring gave Skagway the lowest unemployment rate in Southeast Alaska at 2.7 percent, dipping below Juneau's 5.8 percent for the first time this year.
Sitka was at 6.2 percent, while Ketchikan and Haines were both at 6.7 percent and the Wrangell-Petersburg Census Area and the Yakutat Borough were both at 8.8 percent. The Hoonah-Angoon Census area was at 10.9 percent, while Prince of Wales Island was highest in the region at 13.8 percent.
Statewide, the lowest unemployment rate went to the Bristol Bay Borough at 2.0 percent as fishing was in full swing and the hiring was in seafood processing. Next lowest was the Denali Borough at 4.0 percent, but there it was the visitor industry that drove the hiring.

YARMOUTH – Chester Jacobs and his Yarmouth baseball teammates are taking a simple approach they hope will lead to lasting success — concentrate on the fundamentals and the rest will take care of itself.
Jacobs was on top of his game Monday afternoon in a complete-game three-hitter, leading the Clippers to a 3-1 win over Wells in a Western Maine Conference Class B baseball game.
"I thought I pitched pretty well, just put it in there and let them hit it," said Jacobs.
"It's a team of nine guys out on the field and I know they can make the plays. I'm not afraid to throw any pitch in any count because I have confidence in my guys behind me."
Jacobs (1-0) was the catalyst of an excellent defensive effort by the Clippers.
After allowing a one-out double to Connor Pease with one out in the first, Jacobs retired 15 straight. The ball left the infield only three times in that stretch.
"(Jacobs) didn't get ahead a whole lot today," said Yarmouth Coach Marc Halsted.
"There was a lot of 2-1 and 3-1 counts but he was able to keep the ball down and in the zone to get his ground balls and he didn't walk a single guy. He was the model of efficiency."
Halsted saw what he expected on both sides of the ball.
The Clippers turned in a fundamentally sound performance defensively while manufacturing runs in lieu of a potent offense.
Caleb Uhl set the offensive tone for Yarmouth to open the scoring.
Uhl reached on an error — one of six in the game committed by Wells (0-2) — stole second, moved to third on a groundout by Mike Smith and scored on an error to give the Clippers a 1-0 lead.
"That's who we are," said Halsted. "We're going to be a fundamentally sound team that creates offense out of smart baseball, good base running and trying to take advantage of other people's mistakes. We just have to do the little things right and we can be successful."
Connor Lainey accounted for the other two Clippers runs, both in similar fashion.
He reached on an error to lead off the second inning and was driven home by a single by Ethan Perrier to give Yarmouth a 2-0 lead.
The same combination struck again in the fourth inning to make it 3-0.
"We just have guys that have to gain some confidence," said Wells Coach Todd Day.
"We're a reasonably inexperienced team at the varsity level but we'll get there, we just have to make the key plays. "
We had a couple of innings where we made some very good plays defensively. We just need to do that on a more consistent basis."
The Warriors scored in the seventh.
Bennie McMinnis (0-2) started and took the loss. He allowed three runs on two hits in four innings.

The Shimano X-Aero 10000 Baitrunner is the ultimate big fish tool for the freshwater angler. Whether you target carp, pike or catfish, the Shimano Baitrunner has proved over the years to be well up to the job.
The upgraded X-Aero models now benefit from a larger spool, one that is 30% wider in circumference than a standard model. This massively increases the casting performance of the reel and also produces a much more responsive fish playing drag and smoother Baitrunner freespool.

text: I'm pretty excited to introduce this new mixtape by OnCue. Not only because it's an awesome project, but also because I got to take part in the creation of some of the songs. Which is something I'm really thankful for. This project stands out to me because for every single song he had us (producers) sample songs that were carefully chosen so that it blends smoothly like an album. His lyrics are really heartfelt, and witty. This also seems to be the first project where he has sung most of the hooks. I'll have to say I really enjoy most of the hooks, but on some of them I think his voice is too "hardcore" for. He seems to have the type of voice that hooks onto your eardrums immediately as well. Oh, and don't forget that the production on this is really really really great. My favourite track on this project has to be Time Machine, but I wont say too much about it. Give it a listen below!

Carlos Silva's debut as a Mariner is Wednesday, and he's looking forward to it.
Mariner fans should be looking forward to the interaction between Silva and his catcher, Kenji Johjima, when the two work together all season long.
"Working with Joh, it's getting better," Silva said in looking forward to pairing up with his catcher for the first time. "With more time, it's going to be fine."
Johjima has worked with the three holdover Seattle starters, Felix Hernandez, Miguel Batista and Jarrod Washburn extensively, but he's only had the spring to work with Silva and the other newcomer in the rotation, Erik Bedard.
"If you're going to catch all five starters, it's going to take some time to get used to everyone," Silva said. "It's not like I pitch like Batista or Bedard pitches like Washburn. Everybody's different.
"So he's got to call five different games. But he's up to it. He's good."

Overview of Infertility
Infertility is usually defined as the inability of a couple to achieve a pregnancy after repeated intercourse without contraception for 1 year.
To maximize the chance of pregnancy, couples should have frequent intercourse in the 6—and particularly the 3 days—before the ovaries release an egg (ovulation). Ovulation usually occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, which is about halfway between the first day of one period and the first day of the next.
Two of the more common methods women can use to estimate when ovulation occurs are
If women have regular periods, they can estimate when ovulation occurs by measuring their temperature each day before they get out of bed. A decrease suggests that ovulation is about to occur. An increase of 0.9° F (0.5° C) or more suggests ovulation has just occurred. However, this method is inconvenient for many women and is not reliable or precise. At best, it predicts ovulation only within 2 days.
Home ovulation prediction kits are more accurate. These kits are used to detect an increase in luteinizing hormone in the urine. (This hormone stimulates the ovaries to trigger ovulation.) Usually, this increase occurs 24 to 36 hours before ovulation. Women usually need to repeat the test for several consecutive days, so kits typically include five to seven sticks. The sticks can be held under a stream of urine or dipped into urine that is collected in a sterile container.
Whether estimating when ovulation will occur increases the chance of pregnancy for couple who have intercourse regularly is unknown. However, estimating when ovulation will occur is likely to help couples who do not have intercourse regularly estimate when the best time for intercourse is.
Up to one in five couples in the United States do not conceive for at least a year and are thus considered infertile. However, of the couples who have not conceived after a year of trying, more than 60% conceive eventually, with or without treatment.
Causes of Infertility
The cause of infertility may be due to problems in the man, the woman, or both:
Problems with sperm (in 35% or more of couples)
Problems with ovulation (in about 20%)
Problems with cervical mucus (in 5% or fewer)
Unidentified factors (in about 10%)
Consuming a lot of caffeine (for example, more than 5 to 6 cups of coffee per day) and using excess tobacco can impair fertility in women and should be avoided.
Diagnosis of Infertility
The diagnosis of infertility problems requires a thorough assessment of both partners. Usually, the assessment is done after at least 1 year of trying to achieve a pregnancy. However, it is done sooner if
Age is a factor, especially for women. As women age, becoming pregnant becomes more difficult, and the risk of complications during pregnancy increases. Also, women, particularly after age 35, have a limited time to resolve infertility problems before menopause.
Treatment of Infertility
The goals of treatment are
Even when no cause of infertility can be identified, the couple may still be treated. In such cases, the woman may be given drugs that stimulate several eggs to mature and be released—so-called fertility drugs. Examples are clomiphene, letrozole, and human gonadotropins. A woman's chances of becoming pregnant are about 10 to 15% with each month of such treatment.
Alternatively, doctors may use assisted reproductive techniques, such as
An intrauterine insemination technique that selects only the most active sperm, which are then placed directly in the uterus
In vitro fertilization, which involves stimulating the ovaries, retrieving the mature eggs, fertilizing them with sperm in culture dishes (in vitro), growing the embryos in the culture, and implanting one or more embryos in the woman's uterus
While a couple is being treated for infertility, one or both partners may experience frustration, emotional stress, feelings of inadequacy, and guilt. They may alternate between hope and despair. Feeling isolated and unable to communicate, they may become angry at or resentful toward each other, family members, friends, or the doctor. The emotional stress can lead to fatigue, anxiety, sleep or eating disturbances, and an inability to concentrate. In addition, the financial burden and time commitment involved in diagnosis and treatment can cause marital strife.
These problems can be lessened if both partners are involved in and are given information about the treatment process (including how long it takes), regardless of which one has the diagnosed problem. Knowing what the chances of success are, as well as realizing that treatment may not be successful and cannot continue indefinitely, can help a couple cope with the stress.
Information about the following is also helpful:
For example, if pregnancy has not occurred after 3 years of attempting it or after 2 years of being treated for infertility, the chance of pregnancy is low and adoption can be considered. Ideally, couples should ask for this information before treatment is begun.
Counseling and psychologic support, including support groups such as RESOLVE and Path2Parenthood, can help.

A fellow 4-H shooting sports coach remarked to me the other day that he had read a few of my columns recently. I then waited, expectantly, as he paused while groping for the right words to comment with.
A fellow 4-H shooting sports coach remarked to me the other day that he had read a few of my columns recently. I then waited, expectantly, as he paused while groping for the right words to comment with.
"It doesn't seem that you write too much controversial stuff," he finally said.
Boy, did that knock the wind out of my sails. Here I was expecting some bland platitudes and instead I'm accused of being boring. Boring gets you fired. Last thing I want is Mr. Moss sending me a pink slip. So ...
I am announcing a new controversial feature of this column. Every now and then, whenever I'm in the mood and can't think of anything else to write about, I will be writing a piece on the English language. Bill Safire's column about this hasn't been in the paper in quite a while, and I'm sure you're all feeling the loss. Clearly there is a need that needs filling. Here goes.
English isn't a language so much as it's a mixed breed. Some Latin and Greek got mixed up with a bunch of Scandinavian and German. The Moors and the crusades interfered back around 900 AD or so and words like "algebra" and "Admiral" and "magazine" became stirred into the mix. The Saxons and the Normans gave us "poultry" for chicken and "mutton" for sheep. The French insisted on phrases, such as "coup de grace" and "laissez faire." The spelling of words stayed the same but as the language switched from old English to middle English to modern, the way the words are pronounced changed.
About 1592, along came the first dictionary: 8,000 words. That was it. Then came 1755 and that bane of high school students, the English teacher. I don't know about you when you write, but I can guarantee I did not diagram one single sentence in this column. Neither did I ponder the intricacies of the verb tenses. I certainly did not worry about dangling participles, but I did use the computer's spell check.
So, in order to bring some order and simplification to our language I propose three things. Starting today, we no longer use the letter "g." Think about it. The letter is superfluous. Night can become "nite," Light becomes "lite," and we have one less letter to remember to say in the alphabet.
Next, all French words that get written in italics are banned. Forever. Nobody really knows what "Prix Fixe" means, don't pretend that you do, so quit putting on airs.
Finally, the words "which" and "where" and "who" will be abbreviated as "wi," "we" and "wo."
Seeing as these three words make up half of most people's vocabulary today, fully one third of the forest being turned into paper will be preserved and I will win a Nobel Prize that's bigger than Al Gore's was, since he only scared people with a movie and didn't actually save any trees.
One more thing. The most useless phrase in the English language is the word "sorry" when spoken or written by a politician. The only thing they're sorry about is getting caught. From now on all newspapers should substitute the phrase "a stinker" in place of it.
For example, "I'm (a stinker) for bringing this shame on my family," or, "I'm (a stinker) we had to raise taxes on you again."
Smile a bit, and have a ood day.

JEFFERSON CITY, Missouri - Officials in central Missouri want to limit how many dogs and
cats people can own and make it illegal to feed feral animals on
public land.
An ordinance proposed in Jefferson City would make it illegal
for people to dump animals or feed animals they don't own while on
public land.
Plus, residents would have to get a permit to keep more than six
cats or dogs, and pets could not be left in unattended vehicles
when it is hotter than 90 degrees unless the air conditioning is
running. Law officers, public safety employees and animal control
officials would be allowed to remove animals from unattended
The city council is expected to consider the measure at its
Monday meeting.
Rich Koon, the council member sponsoring the restrictions, told
the Jefferson City News Tribune the rules were designed to protect
animals. There's a greater risk of diseases such as rabies if large
numbers of animals gather in one place, he said. He predicted they
would disperse if no one fed them.
"You get rid of the food supply, and the colony will start
disappearing," Koon said. "Once they also eat the rabbits and
squirrels, whatever they can catch, you won't have a colony."
But critics said pushing feral animals out of parks could create
other problems.
"The cats are not going to starve to death," said Joe Wilson,
who has urged city officials to reject Koon's measure. "They are
going to move to other areas."
The proposed caps on pet ownership come after nearly 20 cats
were removed from one house in April.
To get a license to keep more than six animals, residents would
have to prove their pets were healthy and that three-quarters of
the people living within 100 feet do not object. No one would be
allowed to have more than 20 pets.
Wilson said the proposed pet cap was arbitrary.
"It doesn't address the problem areas. It's unenforceable," he

New York will get more than $10 million in federal money for emergency repairs to flood-damaged roads, an early step in what Albany-area lawmakers say will be a long process of federally funded recovery.
The funding comes from the Federal Highway Administration's Emergency Relief Program, and is a response to a request submitted by Gov. Andrew Cuomo as part of the state's disaster declaration in the wake of Tropical Storms Irene and Lee. Because the state can't afford to pay for the damaged roads, the federal government will reimburse the state and local governments for repair work.
The state Department of Transportation estimated that the damage to roads and bridges may exceed $100 million. New York had already gotten about $7 million over the last two months, but that still leaves the Empire State federally financed for less than 20 percent of the total damages.
"I want to thank the U.S. Department of Transportation for working to get these funds to New York to help fund repairs necessary to restore our highways," said Rep. Paul Tonko, D-Amsterdam. "This is another positive step as work continues to get our communities back on their feet following the severe late summer weather."
Tonko spokesman Beau Duffy said not all of New York's damages would be covered by federal reimbursement, but that there will be additional rounds of funding.
"Getting the necessary federal assistance to help with the flood recovery continues to be Congressman Tonko's number one priority right now, and will keep working with his colleagues, in a bipartisan manner, to ensure that New York and our communities get the resources they need," Duffy said.
Stephanie Valle, a spokesperson for Rep. Chris Gibson, R-Kinderhook, said Gibson's office has been in contact with the state Department of Transportation and is confident that more help is on the way.
"This is the tip of the iceberg," Valle said.

Roundtable: The Pope Makes News, A Cop Sues SDPD, An Iconic Building Is In Trouble

The Pope, contraception and Donald Trump
The visit of Pope Francis this week to Mexico produced waves of emotion in the throngs who turned out to see him in Juárez and in the state of Chiapas.
He spoke against the inhumanity, violence and intimidation that are part of life for Mexico's poor, while offering a message of hope.
Talking with reporters Wednesday on his way home, the Pope suggested that women threatened with the Zika virus could use artificial contraception to prevent pregnancy. Abortion, however, was a nonstarter under any circumstances.
And there was something else. He suggested that anyone who wants to build walls to keep people out is "not a Christian."
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has used harsh campaign rhetoric against immigrants and has promised to make Mexico pay for a wall along the U.S. border, called the Pope "a disgrace."
Favoritism at SDPD?
Matthew Francois, a former officer in the San Diego Police Department, has filed a lawsuit claiming discrimination and retaliation by the department.
Francois, who is black, said in his training year he was told by supervisors to treat citizens who live north of Interstate 8 differently than those who live to the south, and when he complained, he was fired.
His suit alleges that on his first day of training in the Northeastern Division, he pulled over a white motorist and ran a records check. He said he was told it was a waste of time and resources and to only check on "people who looked like criminals."
He complained to another black police officer, Sgt. Art Scott. He said he was subsequently told to back off issuing tickets for stop sign violations and that citizens in the Northeastern Division deserved to be treated better than those south of I-8. Francois was fired two days before his probationary period ended.
Attorney Dan Gilleon is representing both Francois and Scott, who has filed his own lawsuit.
Balboa Botanical Building Blight
Established in 2010 to be the chief fundraising agency for Balboa Park, the Balboa Park Conservancy is struggling.
Its first project was to fund the restoration of the park's iconic, but shabby, Botanical Building. The Conservancy announced it would raise $3 million for the project, which would be finished by the centennial of the 1915 Panama-California Exhibition in 2015.
So far, they've raised $457,000. Leaders say the struggle to get the centennial celebration going, a reliance on volunteer fundraisers and an inadequate pitch didn't help.
The Conservancy now has a director, Thomas Herrera-Mishler, and the restoration project has an architect, San Diego-based RTN Architects. They project a 2018 finish to the reconstruction, which now includes an archway and landscaping.

These two Mom's met at an AA meeting and ended up starting 'Mothers With A Purpose'. If you notice all they are offering the teens is to attend AA and NA meetings. They do not point out that AA and NA have no meetings for minors. There are only adult meetings with court mandated felons. It is great to see an effort being put out to reach teens.
They need to offer them something other than the 12 step program. www.smartrecovery.org has teen literature for those that want to start a teen meeting in their area that is non-religious and science based.
Local Moms Fighting That Drug Problem on Our Doorstep
Meet the Pleasanton moms and founders of Mothers with a Purpose, who want to beat the pervasive drug problem through education.
By Autumn Johnson and Tanya Rose Email the authors March 8, 2012
In July of 2010, when Donna and Kelly spearheaded Mothers With a Purpose, a group that provides support and raises awareness for families battling prescription pill addictions, they had no idea they would end up foraging friendships from working through the pain. The duo met when Kelly recognized Donna's son while attending an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting with her own son. The two mothers connected and realized their children were going through a similar battle of prescription drug addiction.
After meeting for hours and crying over the agony of the opiate addictions their children were fighting, they decided to take action and to start a support group. They have asked that their last names not be used, to protect the privacy of themselves and their families. Donna recruited other families in the community who were suffering from the same problem. The group rapidly grew from the two tenacious mothers to now close to 100 people.
"Forty years ago, addicts were seen as the scum of the earth," said a former addict, who has spoken before the group about his own struggles in an effort to help Pleasanton kids who are suffering. "Today, it can be a child from a family that makes a million dollars. It's not someone who lives in alleys; it's your own neighborhoods."
Mothers With a Purpose meets on the second and fourth Thursdays of every month at Foothill High School in Pleasanton. They welcome anyone who wants to attend and both say it takes courage to walk through the door of those meetings to face and work through their worst fears.
The former speaker said that before Mothers with a Purpose, there wasn't really an organization out there solely for support."The best way to get help was to talk to another parent in the same situation," he said. "There's no place to turn — it's not like you can go to church and ask around. It's really a hidden thing."
"Everyone is hurting from something," says Donna.
According to Donna, the mission statement of the group is to provide total awareness, support and resources to those children and families confronting and struggling with the disease of addiction.
The group, which has recently become a non-profit organization, has had overwhelming support from the Pleasanton Police Department, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, the Mayor's Office in Pleasanton and the Pleasanton Unified School District.
In addition to the bi-monthly meetings and a website that offers many resources, Donna and Kelly attend local drug and alcohol forums. They often bring children to speak who are recovering addicts. After the forums, parents usually thank the pair for their candor. Both agree that the disease of addiction, specifically prescription pill addiction, is a nation-wide problem. Locally, they say the knowledge of this problem in the schools and in the community still shocks residents.
Donna says every parent should have to go through a class before their kids start school. "[This experience] teaches you different areas you need to balance," says Kelly. "I look at life differently now. When it happens, you are a fish out of water. It is a life-time journey."
Donna says her biggest challenge in starting the group has been standing up in public forums. For Kelly, the biggest challenge has been getting parents to listen. "Listening is what is going to cause change," said Kelly. "The only way to beat this is to educate people."
"It is our recovery too," added Donna. "If I had had this education growing up, maybe things would have been different," the forum speaker said. "I didn't even know what an alcoholic was; I just knew that I did drugs and I did it well and I loved it. Every day, I struggled with addiction but now I have tools so I don't need to do drugs. I can cope with life.
"It is all about the parents being educated," he says, noting that he knows of a parent of a drug-addicted teen who wanted to take her own life, because she didn't know what else to do and felt so desperate.
