Let's start with the the number-one rule, fit, and then delve into some specifics.
Rule # 1 (the only rule that can't be broken): Your clothes must fit!
Over-sized clothing has only ever been appropriate once: When Chris Webber and the rest of the Fab Five stormed to college basketball immortality (and later infamy) at Michigan in the early nineties, their voluminous, low-slung shorts ushered in the end of the "Tight Basketball Uniform Era." Good thing, too. I mean, I enjoyed watching Larry Bird's balls bounce up and down every time he stroked a three point shot, but generally speaking that shit had to stop. For single dude travelers to be taken seriously though, baggy clothes are never appropriate.
Let's break this down. If you've taken the time to either get in shape or stay in shape, you need to show it off. This should be intuitive. We'll get to the specifics later, but suffice it to say for now that dressing like your favorite rap star is going to hide all that hard work you've done in addition to make you look like a dumbass neanderthal basement dweller. Those dudes pull quality tail IN SPITE of how they dress because they are celebrity millionaires who can get away with wearing $1,000 pajamas to the club.*
Are you still fat? Do you really think big huge jackets and shirts are slimming? Bullshit. Not only are you carrying all those extra pounds, you're sending a message through your attire. That message: "I am a slovenly mess of a man." Pants hanging off your ass with cuffs that tear off underneath your shoes send a message that you don't care about yourself. If you don't care about yourself, why should she? Better than anything else, clothing that fits minimizes the appearance created by that extra batch of hot wings you've been eating weekly for the last ten years. It sends the message that you are confident in yourself, which does not come through in the layers and layers of sloppy clothing you think hides your extra pounds.
Don't think you can overdo it either, too small is just as bad as too big. You know all those fat chicks you see who haven't bought a new bra in ten years? Imagine one now. You know what I'm talking about – when you're standing behind her in line you can totally see the entire outline of her bra through her too-thin sweater, because it is about two to four inches too small around to properly cradle her body. Instead it looks like it's barely clinging to life, preparing to burst under the pressure at any moment. You know how her back fat slurps over the top of the bra and it kind of looks like two slop-nasty titties dangling off her shoulder blades? That nasty shit doesn't work for dudes either.
Fit-wise, from head to toe, here's a quick guide. If you need to wear a tie, your collar should button right up against that little soft spot in between your clavicles without stretching at all or leaving room for more than a finger or two. It should be snug without choking you. Your shirt sleeves should meet the body of the shirt exactly at the tip of your shoulder. The body of the shirt should be slim but not tight and definitely not tent-like (which is difficult to find off-the-rack in the States). The cuff of your shirt should end right at the wrist. If you're wearing a jacket, err on the side of too much cuff showing than not enough. Too much cuff (maybe with some cuff links\) can look badass, but too little cuff screams "I'm wearing my daddy's jacket." Your pants should fit. If you have to wear a belt to avoid showing your drawers, they don't fit. If you're consistently picking a wedgie and the material bunches up around your junk, your pants are too tight. Lastly, the cuffs should break slightly (that is, the material should fold just a bit in front of your shin when you're standing upright) and come to rest in a manner that your socks are rarely, if ever, showing. The bottom of your cuffs should never touch the ground until they are thrown with a Tarzan scream on the floor next to the bed of a hot Costa Rican girl with fake boobs.
You can forget all these specifics, though, if you follow this plan: find a decent tailor. Ask a well-dressed man where he has his clothes tailored if you don't have one already. Address any issues right after you buy a piece of clothing. Your wardrobe will look a million times better and last much, much longer if you pay someone a nominal fee to make it fit on you.
While traveling, remember the most variable cost is someone's time. If you go to a cheap single dude travel destination, go to a tailor and negotiate a made-to-order wardrobe. Nothing fits better than clothes made specifically for you. When I went to Thailand a couple of years ago I had the following made for me out of high quality fabric:
- 1 linen suit
- 11 shirts, both barrel and French cuff
- 4 additional pairs of pants
Total cost: $400. And this shit fits me today like a glove. This was one of the best investments I ever made. It's probably worth buying a ticket there for $1200 bucks to go drink beer and play Connect 4 at the go-go bars, eat lots of delicious food, sit on the beach all day, get $6 massages every day and come back with a full new wardrobe. Where in the Western world can you party your ass off on the beach for a week and come back with a full new wardrobe for $2000?
Rule #2: Ditch the sportswear
Sportswear is appropriate for the gym, the running trail and the field, not the café, the club or the after party. Jerseys are appropriate when you are presently engaged in an athletic competition under contract with a professional sports team or at the sports stadium watching a game and at no time else. No one, anywhere in the world, gives a fuck that you are a huge Wes Welker fan and that you spent $300.00 to wear his jersey. And no, it is not any better to have a Christian Eriksen kit, totally before he signs with an EPL or Series A club, you fucking DAFF. If your clothing is going to be a conversation-starter, the conversation should have nothing to do with sports. Besides, you should be rethinking such purchases anyways – that sweet Michael Vick throwback jersey is worth hundreds of beers in Guatemala. Save your money, guys.
Rule #3: Suits are for business, not for slaying poon
If you're on this site you're probably not interested in the type of chick who is impressed with the fact that you're wearing a suit in a social setting. But if you haven't learned that lesson yet you should know all the reasons wearing a suit out makes you look like a douchebag.
Unless your business (concert promoter, head of security for the Sultan's youngest son, night manager at TGI Fridays) requires it that night, wearing a suit sends the wrong message. You're probably thinking it makes you look like a man of means, an important man – a man for whom business never ends. Ease back, Tony Montana. That's not the message it sends at all. The dude in the suit trying to pick up chicks is the male equivalent of the chick in a Wonderbra. He's trying to send an image that he's something he's not.
Let's delve:
I don't care what you tell me – if you wear a suit out to the bars, etc., you are trying to create an image of affluence. Wanna know how I know? Because a suit for any man, in any station of life, is the most expensive piece of clothing a man can buy. It's like the opposite of the Macho Man T-shirt and cargo shorts discussed earlier. Wearing a suit is classic overcompensation. Whether you've got the money or not, you're telling everyone that you're in your Sunday best. For whatever it was worth historically, the modern two- or three-piece suit is acceptable business attire and nothing else. So when you wear a suit out to pick up chicks, the message you actually send is "I spent all my money on this suit, which I can also wear either to my job or my next court date, when I find out if the judge is going to let me into drug treatment."
Besides, unless you're rocking a made-to-measure Oxford or a bespoke Savile Row gem, you're not fooling anyone. That suit that you think makes you special – we all know it's not, especially those of us that have to wear the fuckers every day. Unless you're used to wearing it, your suit is going to come off like costume jewelry, especially if it's a rough-to-the-hand Donald Trump special you picked up on sale at Macy's. Get your ass into the best menswear store you can find (hint: it's not at the mall) and feel the good suits they have. They're soft, drape well and ooze smoothosity (my made-up word). They could barely be categorized in the same group as the scratchy crap that is your typical mass-marketed suit available in the U.S. This is not snobbery – if you're rocking a $400 suit you're simply not important enough to be rocking a suit anywhere but at your particular cubicle, where it's required.
To recap: When you're wearing a suit out to meet girls and you don't wear one every day, one of two possibilities exists: 1.) You blew your wad on a really, really nice piece of clothing that is completely inappropriate for the occasion for which you are wearing it, because you want to look special, or 2.) You bought a cheap-ass suit that is completely inappropriate for the occasion for which you are wearing it, because you want to look special. I'm not sure which one is worse.
If you're wearing a suit to pick up chicks and you're used to wearing it, you send the message that you can't afford some sport coats or other "upscale" casual clothing. In other words, you suck at your job. Don't try to convince yourself otherwise: If you're wearing a suit at normal carousing hours and you didn't just finish up the last day of a jury trial, you're doing it wrong.
*I wish it known that I love love love rap music. It carries me through my day. Don't take my advice here (or later in the article) to in any way suggest that my disapproval of the style of dress that is so common in the rap world is also indicative of anything other than an abiding love of the music. Peace to Biggie, 2Pac, Big L and Big Pun. Free Tru-Life. All that shit, man. Just pull up your god damn pants.

There Is Coming A Day
Today's Passage – Micah 1 – 4 (Click on the references to listen to the audio – click here to view the text from the Blue Letter Bible website)
(Second Milers also read – Revelation 4 – 6; Psalms 121 – 125; Proverbs 25)
Listen to this morning's Scripture song – James 4:10
Read the "0925 Evening and Morning" devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever." – (Micah 4:1-5)
I just want to give you a couple of quick thoughts this morning from today's passage in Micah. In Micah chapter 4, God is referring to the Millenial reign of Christ on the earth. This future time period will come only after the church is raptured and the world endures a seven year period of tribulation which will separate the sheep from the goats (the saved from the lost). This 1000 year reign of Christ on earth will be a wonderful time of peace on the earth. Christ will physically be here on the earth ruling the affairs of men. All nations will be in submission to Him, and it will truly be a time of tranquility and safety. Everyone will be living according to the principles found in the Word of God, and Christ Himself will be the instructer. What a time to live on the earth.
Obviously, the day that we are living in today is not like this Millenial reign of Christ, but I believe that Christians can do a lot more to make their homes and their churches more like this future time period. We can do this by yielding our lives to the will of God, surrendering our wills to the Spirit of God, and saturating ourselves with the Word of God. We will never be able to control what goes on in the world around us but we can do something about the homes that we live in, and the churches that we worship in. In the the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth…". We can do the will of God while we are on this earth, and by doing so we will have a little taste of the Millenial Kingdom. Our homes and our churches should be little pictures of this wonderful time described in Micah 4.
Posted in Thoughts from Micah by Phil Erickson with 1 comment.
Satan doesn't need to change our Bibles, or soften the sermons. He doesn't have to water down our church standards or scare us by what is going on in the world. We don't live in that millenial type world but more of the trib. because we run to the worlds ways like a horse runs to a carrot hanging in front of him. If we would get back to putting God, family and church first, and stop running with one foot in the world, we would have a little more heaven on earth. Just saying. Great post Preacher. Miss hearing your preaching.

Vioxx is used as a treatment for signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, acute pain in adults, and painful menstrual cycles. Serious problems from stomach ulcers, such as bleeding, are well known complications in people treated with NSAIDs. Similar problems have occurred in people treated with Vioxx. Other adverse reactions can include liver damage. Some of the warning signs of liver damage can be nausea, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite, itching, yellow coloring of skin or eyes, "flu like" symptoms and dark urine. The Vioxx Gastrointestinal Outcomes Research (VIGOR) conducted a prospective randomized double blind one year study evaluating approximately 4000 patients on Vioxx 50 mg a day and approximately 4000 patients on the standard dose of naproxen (1000 mg a day), a non steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID). The study found that there was a higher cumulative rate of serious cardiovascular thromboembolic adverse events (such as heart attacks, angina pectoris and peripheral vascular events) in the Vioxx group (1.8%) compared to the naproxen group (0.6%). Adjudicated serious cardiovascular events (confirmed by a blinded adjudication committee) included: sudden death; myocardial infarction; unstable angina; ischemic stroke; transient ischemic attack; peripheral venous; and arterial thromboses. After carefully reviewing the results of the VIGOR Study, the FDA agreed with the Arthritis Advisory Committee recommendations of February 8, 2001 that the label for Vioxx should include the gastrointestinal and cardiovascular information. The committee advised that the NSAID class warning regarding gastrointestinal adverse events should be modified, but not removed from the Vioxx label. This warning advises patients and their doctors about the risks of gastrointestinal ulcers, bleeding and perforation.

Sunfishing in the summer leaves a lasting impression
Hanging upside down over the water of the canal while held in place by heels wedged against a plank of the one-lane bridge's railing, I could feel the relative coolness of the shaded water.
It was tempting to just let go, fall the three feet or so into the tanning-stained liquid and enjoy what would be a welcome, refreshing respite from the relentless, blistering midsummer heat. But that would have ruined any chances of an even better pleasure.
Wrapped around one of my hands was a length of fishing line — maybe 10 feet or so, swiped off one of my father's reels. Tied to one end was a long-shanked bronzed hook with a small dog-ear lead weight clamped maybe 3 inches up the line, both also purloined from Dad's tackle box.
Threaded on the hook were a couple of wasp larvae, part of the spoils of a paper-wasp nest that a brother and I had earlier knocked from the soffit of our rural home. We had hit the nest with a broom and run like the dickens, waiting to retrieve the prize until the attendant adult wasps gave up their angry and confused swarming; this was not our first such rodeo.
The wasp nest held a score or more wriggling, creamy white, worm-like larvae, each sequestered beneath the papery caps covering most of the of nest's hexagon cylinders. The larvae were perfect for the purpose at hand on a sweltering summer day. The nest along with a strip of uncooked bacon and a couple of more fish hooks and dog-ear "sinkers," sat in a small paper bag beside a World War II surplus canteen on the edge of the oyster-shell road crossing the canal. (The bacon served as bait when I ran out of wasp larvae.)
Suspended over the water, I unwrapped the line until the baited hook almost touched the water, swung it like a pendulum until I got the right rhythm and speed going, then, at just the right moment, released the line, sending it back into the shadows under the bridge.
Usually by the time I tightened the line in my hand, I could feel a tap-tap-tap transmitted up the multihued braided Dacron. A quick jerk, and the line would come alive, almost like I had connected with a kind of natural electricity.
Splashes and thrashes and welters of tea-colored water announced success as I pulled the line to me.
Perfect in every way
Attached to the hook would be a surprise every time.
Most often it would be a bream, olive green or reddish bronze, usually with the edges of its gill plate wearing a powder blue color. But sometimes it would be a brownish yellow goggle-eye with those flaming red eyes. Or maybe a shellcracker with that tell-tale red edge on the opercular flap of its gills.
And sometimes it would be a pumpkinseed, a true jewel of a fish — all bright red and orange overlaid with neon blue "squiggles, bright red eyes and black gill flats rimmed in white.
It would be years before I learned that the proper name of those "pumpkinseeds" was longear sunfish. Or that bream were called bluegills, shellcrackers were redear sunfish and that all the dozen or so species of fish we simply lumped together as "perch" had their own individual names.
All I knew at the time was that these deep-bodied little freshwater fish — a big one was the size of an adult's hand — were wonderful things, abundant and cooperative with each one looking like a living pane from the stained-glass windows you saw in church. And that fishing for and catching them was great fun as well as a crash course in learning fishing skills and how the natural world worked.
It didn't hurt that they also were delicious to eat, thanks to Mom dredging them in a batter of buttermilk and corn meal and frying them whole.
That opinion has not changed in the almost 60 years since I hung from my heels and handlined hundreds of "perch" or "bream" from that canal or caught them from nearby creeks, ponds, bayous and sloughs during the heat of summers.
A bountiful state
Texas holds a wealth of places to enjoy sunfishing. The state features some of the most diverse, highest quality sunfish fisheries in the nation.
Many of those quality sunfish fisheries owe their status to the quality of another of the state's freshwater fisheries. Find a reservoir with a high-quality largemouth bass fishery, and you almost are guaranteed to find a first-rate sunfish fishery, too.
Largemouths are major predators of their smaller sunfish cousins. This is especially true of larger bass. Those larger largemouth — 3 pounds or more — prey heavily on the sunfish that share their littoral habitat.
This heavy attrition of sunfish — especially smaller sunfish — helps build quality sunfish populations. Sunfish are so good at reproduction that they can easily overpopulate a fishery, increasing competition for available forage. The result is a jillion small sunfish, with their growth stunted by lack of nutrition.
In fisheries where predation on sunfish keeps the population well within the carrying capacity of the habitat, reducing competition for food results in more available for the surviving sunfish. They get more to eat, grow faster and grow larger.
The premier sunfish fisheries in Texas are also some of the state's top largemouth bass lakes.
Lake Conroe is one. The 20,000-acre lake on the San Jacinto River holds a tremendous bluegill fishery. Some of the best summertime fishing for "bream" can be found around the riprap lining the edges of roadways and bridges as well as some shorelines.
Toledo Bend, one of the top largemouth bass fisheries in the nation, also supports a world-class bluegill fishery. During the heart of summer, anglers there often find big concentrations of bluegills clustered around submerged humps and ridges in 10 to 15 feet of water.
Lake Caddo also holds a wonderful bluegill fishery, as well as good numbers of several other sunfish species, including the jewel-like longears.
Several Texas reservoirs hold high-quality redear sunfish fisheries. Fayette County Reservoir as well as lakes Bastrop, Palestine, Houston County, Athens and Raven can produce excellent redear fishing.
Several of the Highland Lakes along the Colorado River in Central Texas have good redbreast sunfish fisheries.
But for the highest quality redbreasts and, really, overall highest quality sunfish fishing in the state, Texas rivers can't be topped. While rivers may not have the highest populations of sunfish, they do hold, on average, the biggest. Almost every Texas state-record sunfish was taken from a river or a near-river, with most of them coming from Central Texas.
Of seven sunfish species listed in Texas' records, all but one could be considered as coming from a river. The state-record bluegill was caught from the Lampasas River. The Texas-record redbreast came from the Comal River, and the San Marcos River accounted for the record rock bass and longear. Lady Bird Lake, which is essentially just a wide stretch of the Colorado River, produced the state-record warmouth and redear. The only non-river to produce a current Texas-record sunfish is little Burke-Crenshaw Lake in the Pasadena park of the same name, where the state-record green sunfish was landed.
Much of Texas is veined with rivers and streams offering high-quality sunfish fisheries. In addition to those that have produced state records, top-notch waterways for sunfish include the South Llano and, Llano, Nueces, Guadalupe, Medina, San Saba, Pedernales, Frio, sections of the Brazos and Colorado in Central and north central Texas as well as Village Creek and the lower Sabine River in southeast East Texas.
In those waterways and, to be honest, most of the hundreds of public reservoirs, bayous, creeks, oxbows and sloughs across the state, a person plopping a hook baited with a nightcrawler and suspended under a cork along a weedy shoreline, casting a small jig with an ultra-light spinning rig or using a fly rod to lay a popping bug or wooly bugger or any of a dozen other flies along a shoreline or in a river eddy or slow-moving pool can just about be guaranteed to connect with a sunfish or some sort.
This is especially true this time of year.
Sunfish are the freshwater fish of a Texas summer. They are not big, and they are not fish most anglers brag to others about catching. But sunfish are most active and available and cooperative during these warmest and sunniest of seasons. That makes them attractive to many anglers, perhaps most of all to those enjoying the spring of their lives and those feeling their way through winter; these are the anglers to whom the seemingly smallest things so often reveal the greatest insights, yield the most lasting pleasures and have a value far beyond their size.

WASHINGTON — The nation's manufacturing sector expanded in December to the market's surprise, reversing the previous month's contraction.
Economists chalked up the better-than-expected performance to new orders for transportation equipment and easing inflationary pressures. But they remain cautious about the sector's prospects for 2007, due to weakness in the auto and residential real-estate segments.
The Institute for Supply Management said Wednesday its manufacturing index registered 51.4 in December, compared with 49.5 in November, which was the first time the sector's activity shrank since April 2003. A reading below 50 indicates contraction, while above 50 signals expansion.
December's index came in above the average analyst expectation for a reading of 50, or no change in the sector's output.
The manufacturing sector had grown for 41 consecutive months prior to November, but falling home prices, high energy prices and other factors conspired to reduce industrial activity that month.
Wachovia Securities senior economist Mark Vitner noted that the recent weakness in manufacturing appears limited to motor-vehicle production and building materials industries, and that this has contributed to falling prices for some raw materials. Other segments, such as those that make power-generation equipment, trucking engines and airlines, appear quite healthy by comparison, he said.
"I don't expect the ISM number to fall below 50 for any extended period of time, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it drop below 50 next month or the month after that," Vitner said.
David Resler, chief economist at Nomura Securities in New York, said that despite the improvement over November's data, growth in the sector does not appear robust.
"The trend is still worrisome," Resler said, adding that manufacturing output is still "well below the norms of the recent past." Over the past 12 months, the ISM's manufacturing index has averaged 53.9.
Wednesday's ISM report said that employment in the manufacturing sector fell in December but at a slower rate, with a 49.7 reading compared with 49.2 in November.
But the new orders index rose substantially to 52.1, compared with 48.7 in November. And prices manufacturers paid for materials decreased sharply, with the prices index falling to 47.5 from 53.5 a month earlier. The futures price of natural gas, for example, fell by more than 30 percent in December due to mild U.S. temperatures and rising inventories of fuel.
Wall Street seemed enthused by the manufacturing data, as well as by the idea that the holiday shopping season had been stronger than expected.
In a separate report, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday that construction activity showed further weakness in November as spending on homes dropped for a record eighth consecutive month. Building activity declined 0.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.18 trillion, the agency said.
The weakness was led by a 1.6 percent plunge in home construction.
The slump in housing has been a drag on the overall economy, trimming 1.2 percentage points off growth in the July-September quarter, when the economy slowed to a lackluster 2 percent growth rate.
Last week, the National Association of Manufacturers forecast a soft landing for the U.S. economy in 2007, despite the slowdown in residential real estate.
The group said it expects industrial output to decelerate to a growth rate of 2.8 percent, which would be well below the 2006 rate of 4.5 percent and be felt hardest among producers of wood and textile products. But in general manufacturers should benefit from rising exports and increased business investment, the association said.
"We're certainly suffering the consequences of the housing slowdown," said Bill Belden, chairman and CEO of Canton, Ohio-based Belden Brick Co.
The impact of the housing slowdown has been magnified for Belden Brick, whose business is concentrated in the Midwest, because of the financial difficulties faced by the U.S. auto industry and its many factories in the region, Belden said.
But Belden said the 122-year-old company, founded by his great grandfather, is fortunate in that 60 percent of its brick is sold to non-residential builders, who have fared better. Nevertheless, Belden is hopeful that the Federal Reserve might give a little boost to the economy in 2007 by lowering interest rates.
Other manufacturing executives remain upbeat about the outlook for 2007.
"The industrial sector looks pretty healthy for next year," said Kirk Liddell, president and chief executive of Lancaster, Pa.-based Irex Corp., a contractor specializing in oil refineries, power plants and large public facilities, such as schools and government buildings.
Ron Bullock, the chair and chief executive of Bison Gear & Engineering, a maker of electric motors used in everything from restaurant equipment to medical equipment, said he expects orders to rise 20 percent next year. One reason for Bison's growth, Bullock conceded, is that many competitors have either folded or moved overseas, giving him an advantage with customers seeking a U.S. supplier.

text: At the core of the mission of ASEE's Liberal Education/Engineering and Society Division is the goal of integrating technical education and liberal education (including humanities and the contextual disciplines) in a manner that upholds engineering as a true profession. This is a perennial challenge that has long occupied those within our division, and the papers within this session continue to describe new approaches and initiatives designed to advance course content and curricula in this direction. During the discussion that follows, we invite others to contribute to the dialogue by describing efforts at other institutions, the challenges they face, and the outcomes achieved.

Hi Visitor;
Wishing you a day of finding some quiet alone time (today and every day).
Scroll down to read the Daily Inspiration, or click here to read it online.
With Love and Gratitude,
Marie T. Russell, InnerSelf.com
Tuesday, December 4th, 2018
Focus for today: I take the time to be alone with myself.
Maybe we're all a little afraid of our own thoughts. Maybe afraid is too big a word — we're just leery of them.
So now I force myself to be alone with the one person I should know better than anyone — me.
Try forcing yourself: Get on a stationary bike, or take a walk, without any other stimulation than your own thoughts. You'll be surprised at what comes to mind — and usually those are the important things.
Excerpted from the InnerSelf article:Are You Afraid of Your Own Thoughts?
by Jim Brickman.
Simple Things
People today are constantly on the run. Between work and kids and relationships, there's hardly a moment to breathe. Composer/recording artist Jim Brickman realized that he was leading a life that revolved around cell phones, emails, red-eyes, and answering services. He also knew that it was time to stop, reevaluate, and simplify his life. In his soothing yet pointed manner, Brickman mulls over how to get back to basics when it comes to life's big topics -- such as love, health, finances, creativity, travel, children, romance, parenting, and friendships. Simple Things is mostly about opening your eyes. To life. To love. To friendship. And to ordinary miracles that make each day so sweet.

Issue 86 | May 2018
This is how we answer our missionary call. This is how we build a culture of life, a culture that joyfully proclaims the truth of God's love, purpose, and plan for each person. Changing the culture is a process of conversion that begins in our own hearts and includes a willingness to be instructed and a desire to be close to Jesus-the source of joy and love.
May we all continue to build

The Ascension of the Lord
May 10, 2018
Jesus said to his disciples:
"Go into the whole world
and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned.
These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents with their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. But they went forth and preached everywhere,
while the Lord worked with them
and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.

In this new apostolic exhortation from Pope Francis, Rejoice and Be Glad, the pope looks at the call to holiness in today's world, with wit, insight, and encouraging counsel.
5:12), Jesus tells those persecuted or humiliated for his sake. The Lord asks everything of us, and in return he offers us true life, the happiness for which we were created. He wants us to be saints and not to settle for a bland and mediocre existence. The call to holiness is present in various ways from the very first pages of the Bible. We see it expressed in the Lord's words to Abraham: "Walk before me, and be blameless" (

Happy Mothers Day!
A Prayer for Mothers
All-loving God,
we give you thanks and praise
for mothers young and old.
We pray for young mothers,
who give life and count toes and tend to our every need;
May they be blessed with patience and tenderness
to care for their families and themselves with great joy.
We pray for our own mothers
who have nurtured and cared for us; May they continue to guide
in strong and gentle ways.
We remember mothers who are separated from their children because of war, poverty, or conflict; May they feel the loving embrace of our God who wipes every tear away.
We pray for women who are not mothers but still love and shape us with motherly care and compassion.
We remember mothers, grandmothers, and great -grandmothers who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory
and nourish us with their love.
Oh Mary, star of the sea, once again we recourse to thee, to find refuge and sernity, to implore your protection and help. Mother of God and our Mother, turn your sweet gaze towards those who face the dangers of the sea everyday to guarantee their families the necessary sustenance for life, to protect the respect of creation, to serve peace between peoples.

On Saturday, April 28, the Feast of Saint Gianna Molla, Bishop John Barres celebrated the 5 p.m. Mass at St. Agnes Cathedral, Rockville Centre, and included a blessing in thanksgiving for those celebrating the gift of child, those planning now or in the future for a child, and those who are expecting a child.
After Mass there was an opportunity to venerate relics of St. Gianna, a 20th century Italian physician, wife and mother who is the patron of mothers and unborn children. The Diocesan Respect Life Office and Catholic Health Services sponsored a reception in the Parish Center with information on the Long Island Gianna Center for Women's Health and Fertility.

A Duty to Die
by: Tom Grenchik
(en español)
Those who peddle death as the answer to every social problem will bend over backwards to look reasonable and compassionate.
Take, for example, the issue of assisted suicide. The so-called "right" to take one's own life is heralded as a compassionate answer to a disability, a terminal illness, a degenerating health condition, depression, or simply a desire to not want to go on any longer. We who oppose suicide for those most in need of real compassion are accused of trying to limit the rights of others. And so, showing love and true concern for the neighbor in need is now labeled as extremism. But who are the true extremists?
A handful of U.S. states and our Canadian neighbors have now codified assisted suicide as a legal "right." Who has benefitted from this new found "right?" Rather than increasing options for those facing illness or disability, the lower cost of assisted suicide seems to be influencing the amount of medical care given to those in need, especially those most dependent on government assistance.

My Experience in the Respect Life Office
This spring, I have had the opportunity to intern at the Respect Life Office of the Diocese of Rockville Centre. My name is Brigid Lynn and I am currently a sophomore in the Honors College at Adelphi University, where I'm studying sociology. Working in an office which focuses its energies on a mission so close to my heart has been both informative and fulfilling. I've had the opportunity to learn about the many different elements that fall under the umbrella of "Respect Life."
I had the pleasure of sitting in on the annual Deanery Coordinator meeting, during which representatives from parishes all over Long Island come together to stay up to date on Respect Life efforts and issues. They also have the chance to voice their comments and concerns, or share success stories from the work of their parish's Respect Life ministry.

Conspiracy Against Life
by: Chelsy Gomez
May 4, 2018
(en español)
In recent weeks, the eyes of the world were drawn to Liverpool, England as the life of 23-month-old Alfie Evans hung in the balance.
Despite drawing support from across the world, including from Pope Francis and the Italian and Polish governments, Alfie's ventilator was removed against his parents' wishes on April 23. Alfie suffered from an undiagnosed neurological condition and was not expected to survive long after the removal of the ventilator. However, Alfie surprised doctors as he breathed on his own for minutes, then hours, and then days, until he ultimately passed away on April 28.
Pope St. John Paul II warned that, "A person who, because of illness, handicap or, more simply, just by existing, compromises the well-being or life-style of those who are more favored tends to be looked upon as an enemy to be resisted or eliminated. In this way a kind of 'conspiracy against life' is unleashed" (Evangelium vitae, 12).
This "conspiracy against life" has a long history that runs deep and, over the centuries, has risen to the surface in many different forms. It is unleashed when a society equates human dignity with human ability, when we no longer focus on the burdens experienced by a person, but rather view the person as a burden.
The forced removal of Alfie's ventilator happened to take place on the same day that the royal family and the British people rightly welcomed and celebrated the birth of a new little prince.

Maintain the Ban on Surrogacy
Last Updated: 2/1/2018
Legislation which would undo New York's longstanding ban on surrogate motherhood for profit just got a boost with a new government report recommending the practice. This would enable the buying and selling of children, exploit women and undermine their dignity, intentionally divide families by separating children from at least one of their biological parents, and lead to an increased reliance on IVF (in vitro fertilization) and the destruction of more human embryos. Please let your elected officials know that you oppose this bill because it would do much more harm than good.

Tell Congress to reinstate DACA
Last Updated: 2/1/2018
Since the announcement that the Trump Administration is rescinding the Obama-era Executive Order known as DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), the issue has become a political football, with the future of nearly 800,000 beneficiaries of the program (including an estimated 42,000 of our fellow New Yorkers) hanging in the balance. While the federal government has the right and duty to protect and secure our borders, the individuals who benefitted from DACA have done nothing wrong. The Dreamers were brought to this country as children by their parents; for many, they have known no other home.

Oppose Doctor-Assisted Suicide
Last Updated: 2/1/2018
On September 7, 2017, the New York State Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that there is no Constitutional right to assisted suicide in our state Constitution. The judges said there are legitimate and important reasons for maintaining a ban on the practice. While this is a tremendous victory for life, it will not stop the proponents of physician-assisted suicide from pushing their agenda with the Legislature in 2018. Please let your Senate and Assembly representatives know that you strongly oppose the legalization of assisted suicide, and urge them to vote "no" should the bill come before them for a vote.

Pentecost Sunday
May 20, 2018
When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together.
And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were.
Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem. At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
They were astounded, and in amazement they asked,
"Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans?
Then how does each of us hear them in his native language?
We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia,
Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs,
yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God."

I did some research on the matter of the Rosary and its importance to some Catholics! It is only in a sense a tool to focus on the praying or speaking to God because it utilizes all the senses and humans being easily distracted creatures of habit that isn't such a bad idea. Portions of the Rosary repetition are again directing the person praying it to focus attention on the Divine Mysteries in a devout manner not for the sake of repetitive pagan customs as some have eluded such as the case implied where the King James Version of the Bible speaks to the matter regarding such practices by Christians as being persons "thinking by repeating themselves will be better heard by God." Catholics are not doing that if they know what they are doing and why these practices evolved right from Scriptures from the Apostles who wrote those divinely inspired words from God.
I spoke to a priest I know and he did explain to me how saying a Rosary is a devoted form of prayer which is fully accepted and prescribed by the Church, and as I already mentioned how distraction can be our enemy which is another way of putting it in my mind, because I know I do get distracted praying in my usual manner and the Rosary has the quality of focus on communion with Jesus Christ and all of the Divine Mysteries helps any of the countless faithful to overcome that break in focus and devotional humble prayer to God!
A man I met through a former career in the workplace that I got to know very well when I had that government job a while back was a devout Catholic and a Chemist while his wife a microbiologist. He told me how they both would do Rosaries every day; these people were the real deal being truly devout and the guy actually went to Seminary some years prior to his government position studying theology and also was in a monastery for quite some time just before he was to take his vows to become an ordained priest; but he had an epiphany and God directed him to another mission in life! This man gave me the pocket size version one day at work just before the time that some bad people moved against me and my troubles began when a serious injury occurred. The book is "My Imitation of Christ." This book by Thomas Kempis has been the second most popular spiritual book only second to the "Sacred Scriptures." The first chapter states, "That to follow Christ let it be our chief study to mediate on the life of Jesus Christ." It also says, "But it happeneth that many, by frequent hearing of Gospel, are very little affected because they have not the spirit of Christ." It goes on in that first chapter to explain that one could know all the Scriptures and still fall short of knowing Jesus Christ and making one's life "conformable" to Him! Therefore, I so far think that the Rosary is a tool to "conform" and be in such UN-distracted love and service to God that one is certainly in closer "communion with Christ" by means of the "Holy Spirit" when in a sense one relinquishes self from daily material life and all sensations allowing one to be free of worldly distractions, entering into deep communication with God through Jesus Christ while doing these prayers of the Rosary. You and I can believe or know that if Jesus came in person right now and spoke to us of this praying of the Rosary, He wouldn't find any fault in it at all if those doing it are sincerely doing what the stated intention of the devout Rosary practice in praying to God is about; and that anyone caught up in this "devotional meditating" a very intimate and personal thing, that it is surely being loving and faithful to Christ!
I'm sure there could be a long study and discussion of this subject by any of us to try speaking to it in truth as to its benefit or merit or possible fault if any! I believe many things in this life that we humans do God searches out the heart to know the true intentions behind those actions and will judge accordingly! But this is why I say doing rosaries would be better time spent for an old granny sitting at a slot machine all day which I have witnessed! If anything is leading a person astray the latter surely does that in spades! I was writing this and felt compelled to call the priest I admire the most and even can consider a true friend to say how I'm so moved by the Holy Spirit right now to be writing this and how being in "devout communion with God" is the most important thing we can do, as much and as often as we can, so that we walk with Jesus each day! I hope we can find the truths we need to find, all of us who seek God's will, as I am always open to that!
God Bless You and Yours, Brother in Christ Jesus,
Lawrence Morra
Additionally: "The Rosary consists traditionally of three sets of five Mysteries, each Mystery being meditated on while reciting a decade (a set of ten) of Ave Marias. The 150 Ave Marias of the Rosary thus echo the 150 psalms. These Mysteries concern events of Jesus' life during his childhood (Joyful Mysteries), Passion (Sorrowful Mysteries), and from his Resurrection onwards (Glorious Mysteries). Another set, the Luminous Mysteries, is of comparatively recent origin, having been proposed by Pope John Paul II in 2002. Each decade of Ave Marias is preceded by the Our Father (Pater Noster or The Lord's Prayer) and followed by the Glory Be (Gloria Patri) (Doxology). The repetition of the fixed-language prayers assists recitation from the heart rather than the head. Pope Paul V said that "the Rosary is a treasure of graces … Even for those souls who pray without meditating, the simple act of taking the beads in hand to pray is already a remembrance of God – of the supernatural".

The Cast and Showrunners Talk How the Tuunbaq's Latest Attack Changes Everything
The creature is back. It's aboard the Terror and the men are at its mercy. Luckily, ice master Thomas Blanky is on deck and he doesn't hesitate. Knowing the men need a clear view of the creature in order to fight it, Blanky takes off and climbs the sails to make the creature, and himself, an easier target.
Go Inside Episode 5 With the Cast and Showrunners
Though the men get a clear sight on the creature, it's still "a much stronger adversary and more cunning than they even feared," notes executive producer Dave Kajganich. Needless to say, Blanky doesn't emerge unscathed and it changes everything, especially for his friend Crozier.
Hear what the cast and showrunners have to say about what's changed by the creature's latest attack. Plus, watch the all-new episode available now on amc.com and AMC apps for mobile, Fire TV, XBox One, Apple TV, Roku and Chromecast.

In 2013, the national typical price for a master suite addition was $101,873 with a $64,390 return (or a 63.2 percent return). A basement that is completed without having acquiring permits or completed to match the rest of your home might be an enjoyable space but will not add considerably worth to the residence. In the present economy, home purchasers are hunting for a lot more square footage and elevated livable space.
If your price range makes it possible for commence with the garage cement floor you can checkout some low cost alternatives such as floor paint, epoxy, and PVC floor tiles. You ought to expect to be in a residence where you feel secure, have your own room, and the family to speak with you clearly in Spanish in the course of meals. It has offered the added space needed with the expense being considerably far more minimal than an addition would have price. Luxury Renovations says that their projects usually run between $250 and $450 per square foot.
It's a excellent addition to the home for when we have household more than or need to have added space for guests. This is why it is really important to get all such problems out of the way just before installing carpet in the basement. My husband and I prepared the suggestions for the do it your self garage conversion component of the project. The entryway photo shows how we produced a vibrant and welcoming room at a quite low price to add worth.
Following 2 years with the new den made from the garage conversion, the selection was a good 1. These that add livable square footage, such as attic or basement bedrooms and decks, are much more valuable than remodels done to existing spaces. My individual preferred is Hotel Sakcari, which is located practically straight subsequent door to the San Pedro Language School, and very close to El Barrio. The photographs below show ahead of and soon after photographs of the conversion of the garage.

DATELINE: No Longo for Religious Fanatics
Dr. Valter Longo
A documentary from France delineates the heresy of American diet. Its title is rather bland: The Science of Fasting.
Doctors and researchers in the vanguard of American medicine have subscribed to a panacea that is as old as Yogi and prophets living in the Judean desert for forty days of deprivation. Stop eating, and you will force your body to cleanse itself and re-set all thermostats.
Twenty years ago, while playing chess online with a Russian med student, he told us to stop eating to regain health—and we laughed at the madness of the notion. Today, we are not laughing.
Yes, according to revolutionary science, the cure for diabetes and cancer may well be fasting: not eating your vegetables or nuts or anything else, for that matter.
The short documentary reveals that the old Soviet Union doctors in the 1970s stumbled upon the notion of deprivation from food as actually making the body stronger. They began clinics that featured the appalling notion of going without food (but plenty of water) for two weeks. It was done under close medical supervision. Don't try this at home.
Apparently, burning up all your glucose in 24 hours leads to your body eating its own lipids (fat). People on fasting actually became stronger and had better attitudes: survival has its benefits.
Most of the Russian studies have not yet been translated to English—and Big Pharma is in no hurry to cure patients and take them off medications.
At least one Italo-American researcher, Dr. Valter Longo, has found there are improvements in patients who undergo chemotherapy if they fast, in cycles, for several days prior to treatment.
Our own physician contends that fasting for two days per week over a month or so will cure diabetes. We are yearning to try it.
This film looked at patients in Russia, Germany, and now in the United States. If we can lock our refrigerator doors, we may find the secret gateway to health and longevity.
This film may be from starvation, but it's one of the most revolutionary we have seen in years. We have hungered for a cure-all.

Crown casino wins approval for 90-storey tower at Southbank
Casino giant Crown will expand its Southbank site to eight hectares after it won approval from the Andrews government to build a $1.75 billion 90-storey tower.
Once completed it will be Melbourne's tallest building, at 322 metres, exceeding Eureka Tower by 25 metres.
The 1 Queensbridge Street site will be home to a 6-star hotel with 388 rooms and 708 apartments.
Premier Daniel Andrews said the project was of "state significance" because it would create 4000 jobs; 3000 during construction and another 1000 once up and running.
"It's not just about height though, the quality of this design outcome, particularly the public realm benefits that will be accessible for all Victorians, really mark this out as a very, very special project," Mr Andrews said.
Planning Minister Richard Wynne gave approval to the project – which is claimed to represent $2.1 billion in economic benefit - after 12 months of talks with the developer and Melbourne City Council.
"This process has been careful, it has been considered," Mr Andrews said.
But a Melbourne City councillor, Rohan Leppert from the Greens, said the tower "makes a mockery" of new rules for skyscrapers introduced by Mr Wynne last year. This was, he said, "particularly due to the complete lack of setback to Queens Bridge Street and the sheer bulk of the building".
"Two solid years of research, policy work and public consultation on the new planning controls clearly count for very little when Crown comes knocking on the state government's door," Cr Leppert said.
He also questioned why the public had not had any opportunity to have input into the tower decision.
Mr Wynne amended the planning scheme in order to approve the tower, instead of the usual process of first seeking formal feedback from Melbourne City Council.
RMIT Planning academic Michael Buxton said Crown appeared to have created its own rules for the site.
"There is supposedly a rule in place for projects like this, but there are no rules, and the more powerful you are the fewer the rules. What a joke," Professor Buxton said.
As part of the deal Crown and developer Schiavello group will pay $100 million towards a community package that will see a $25 million upgrade of Queensbridge square, and $15 million towards Sandridge rail bridge.
The Premier said the old rail bridge could be re-imagined to be similar to the famous High Line in New York City.
Construction on the 5060 square metre site is hoped to begin as soon as 2018 and will take up to six years to complete.
There will be no gaming at the new site, which will be connected to the casino complex by a footbridge over Queensbridge Street.
Mr Wynne said sky bridges across city roads were a feature of Melbourne.
Crown Resorts' Todd Nisbet said the casino's hotels currently operated at 90 per cent occupancy and the he believed the new hotel would be full given Victoria's long list of major events.

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure to help lighten your smile. With options both at your dental office and at home, our Edmonton dentists share the pros and cons of each type of treatment.
Teeth whitening treatments use peroxide-based bleaching agents to lighten the colour of your smile. As the active ingredient breaks down, oxygen acts on the tooth enamel and creates the whitening effect.
There are many teeth whitening options available including professional whitening treatments at your dentist office and do-it-yourself treatments for home.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Performed by a trained dental professional, you can rest assured in-office teeth whitening is a safe, reliable treatment option.
The procedure is non-invasive, and you can sit back and relax while your dentist lightens your smile.
With these treatments, you can usually see results immediately. That's because your dentist uses a higher concentration of bleaching gels compared to solutions used in at-home treatments.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
At-home teeth whitening allows you to whiten teeth from the comfort and convenience of home. These treatments typically costs less than in-office teeth whitening.
Most patients see a difference within a couple of weeks, but because these products use a lower concentration of bleaching gels, they rarely provide the same results that you get from an in-office treatment.
If you do prefer an at-home option, try to find one available through your dentist. Most dentists offer an at-home whitening kit which includes a higher concentration gel and custom whitening tray created for your smile.
Drug store whitening kits can irritate the gums and don't have the strength that professional grade whitening provides. This means you may not achieve the results you're looking for from an over-the-counter product.

Flexibility is an important determinant factor in optimal physical performance, rehabilitation, and wellness. Flexibility is the ability to freely move a joint or a series of joints freely and painlessly. While many variables can affect the loss of normal joint flexibility including injury, inactivity or a lack of stretching, the true physical cause of inflexibility is rooted in the tightness of the muscles and fascia of a joint. The fascia is a fibrous connective tissue made up of collagen that is present all throughout the body, not just in the muscular system. The fascia provides interconnections between all cells in the body and acts as a transport system of removal of toxins. Because of its important roles, malfunctioned fascia can result in ailments relating to many physiological systems, such as the muscular, nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems.
Optimizing joint flexibility through reduction of fascial tendon is the ultimate goal of many manual treatments, like the Active Isolated Stretching (AIS). AIS is part of a comprehensive method called the Mattes Method. This method targets superficial and deep fascial planes to allow for restoration of muscles, tendons, vertebrae, ligaments, and joints. The Mattes Method's core principle is to only permit the stretching of relaxed myofascial structures in order to maximally stretch them. The Mattes Method utilizes a gradual stretch of no longer than 2 seconds to promote the full range of motion and flexibility without activating antagonistic muscle group contraction. This manual technique isolates the muscles to be stretched by contracting the opposite muscles. The Mattes Method adheres to two scientific laws: Wolff's Law and Sherrington's Law. The Wolff's Law states that the formation of the bone and its surrounding elements relies on the functional pressure that those structures face. Thus, the skeletal muscles, a form of striated muscle, facilitate bone remodeling as dictated by stress and demands the bone faces. Sherrington's Law states that when muscles on one side of the joint is contracted, neurological signals are given to the muscles on the opposite side to relax. Incorporating the two laws in combination with a gradual, rhythmic stretch of no longer than 2 seconds, reflexive antagonistic contraction is greatly minimized to all for a maximum stretch of the muscles.
Causes of Inflexibility
• Underlying medical conditions
• Poor posture
• Muscle imbalances
• Effects of aging
• Rapid growth in adolescents
Benefits of Stretching
• Improves your flexibility and range of motion
• Facilitates metabolic waste removal
• Facilitates lymphatic flow
• Reduces risks of musculoskeletal injuries
• Improves posture
• Improves athletic performance

Embracing the cold, Moorefield shattered the ice with consistent heat at the plate generating a grand slam by Jake Ours and solo shot by Garett Haggerty to scorch the Rams 12-9 in Strasburg last Friday.
"It was great to see our pitchers did a fantastic job, they only walked to batters which put them ahead in the count and allowed Strasburg to put the ball into play. I really like how after we made an error, the pitchers just got right back on the mound and were resilient," Moorefield skipper Wade Armentrout commented.
"They didn't let it bother them and got ready for the next pitch. When we came to the plate, we had a lot of energy and excitement. What impressed me the most was everyone in our line-up contributed. Each batter scored at least one run, so we were very productive. Jake has been swinging the bat very well and works really hard, so I was really pleased to see him have that opportunity and the hard work he puts into the game paid off. We are going to rely on the seniors and all four contributed tonight."
The first inning was scoreless as Strasburg pitcher Austin Miller got help from the defense as Moorefield senior Jake Ours flew out in right field, then issued a walk to junior Blake Watts, who advanced on a groundout by freshman shortstop Isaac Van Meter before being stranded on a flyout by sophomore second baseman Brent Moran to the right fielder.
Moorefield starting pitcher Blake Watts was on the mound for two innings and threw 42 pitches including two strikeouts, but allowed four hits and four runs scored.
The Rams went down in order as Ours caught a fly ball in center field, then Justin King hit a pop-up to Moran at second base and Watts fielded a grounder by Trevor Sager.
Moorefield freshman third baseman Hayden Baldwin came to the plate in the second inning and hit a deep fly ball into left field which was caught.
One could hear the chants from the dugout as Moorefield senior left fielder Garett Haggerty stepped up, then he ripped a solo home run over the left field fence and trotted home to a swarm of teammates at home plate cheering loudly as the Yellow Jackets went up 1-nil.
This hit created energy and momentum in the batter's box as senior first baseman Matthew Mongold singled to third base side, then junior right fielder Derek Hoyt singled to right field with a laser line drive putting runners on the corners.
Moorefield sophomore catcher Lane Ours pushed a grounder to the third baseman and the Rams threw Mongold out at home plate with the side ending on a fielder's choice off the bat of Moran.
Strasburg rallied for a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the second inning as Miller and Chase Hart singled into center field and both runners advanced on a passed ball.
Strasburg's Cameron Harmon garnered a two-run producing single into left field with Haggerty making the throw to Lane Ours at home plate not getting the out as the ball dropped out of the glove on the tag attempt which allowed Harmon to advance to second base, 2-1.
After a single by Rams batter Justin Day, things got wild as Chris Shelton faked a bunt and Ours tried to catch the runner stealing at second base and the ball went awry, then the throw home didn't connect and an error on a throw to third base allowed the next run to come home, 4-1.
Watts countered with a strikeout, then walked Patrick Kennedy.
A pickoff attempt went wrong and Kennedy raced over to third base, then Corey Keller got on base with a dropped third strike call on a wild pitch, but catcher Lane Ours alertly snatched the ball and made a diving tag and leap for the out on a failed steal of home.
Brother Jake Ours made the last out in center field to send the Yellow Jackets to the plate in the third inning trailing 4-1.
