When Aaron Horton signed as the Crew's first Homegrown player a year ago on Thursday, he knew that breaking into the first team was a long term goal.
Having played one season at the University of Louisville, the forward from nearby Lewis Center, Ohio looked ahead to playing against professionals years older than him. Despite making his MLS debut in the 89th minute against Real Salt Lake on June 8, those were the only minutes he has received at the highest level. He did, however, appear in six Reserve League games last season.
After being loaned April 30 to the Dayton Dutch Lions of the USL Pro League, he was recalled late last week by the Crew due to several injuries.
"I was disappointed," Horton said (above left). "I thought I was going to get a lot more minutes than I did but I played the best I could. That's all I can do."
Horton's situation is typical of the dilemma facing the Crew. There just aren't enough opportunities to get game time for the second and third stringers and those trying to return from injuries.
"They're doing the best they can," head coach Robert Warzycha said. "They have to practice hard and be ready. There's nothing else they can do."
The Crew had four Reserve League games from March 24 to April 14 but the schedule doesn't resume until June 10. There are two games in both June and July, one in August and the finale is Sepember 30.
"Every rookie and a lot of players in the league deal with not playing," rookie midfielder Kirk Urso said. "It's something where you've got to fight and work for your spot."
The opportunities to impress the staff are limited in the coming weeks because the Crew don't play a regular season first team match between May 27 and June 16, when they head to New England to battle the Revolution at Gillette Stadium. A U.S. Open Cup match is scheduled for May 29 and if the Crew win, they will also play the following week but after losing to lower division Richmond last season, Warzycha said he will field a stronger team.
"We played last year with a reserve team at home and we lost," he said. "We have to make sure we win those games."
A friendly vs. English club Stoke City on July 24 could also present another chance for someone like Horton, who turns 20 on Saturday.
In the meantime he said training with experienced players has helped as he awaits his next game.
"It's definitely making me a better player, a smarter player and I'm young, too," Horton added. "It's tough. We all want to play. I go through my down spots but it's nice to be around a great group of guys. They keep me going."

It's about 23 inches wide and 60 inches long. Hand-Made 100% Silk Scarves In 2003, we met a family from Laos while they were visiting relatives in the States. We hit it off right away as they're very likeable sort of people. They introduced us to many authentic Lao foods all of which we immediately fell in love with (Pho is one of our favorites). Among other fun Lao things, they introduced us to handmade 100% silk scarves, and asked if we would be willing to offer them to our customers. These handmade 100% silk scarves have been shipped to us by our now dear friends from Laos (every so many years, our families get together whenever they visit the States). The scarves are made by community artisans using traditional methods. This helps to keep their community and culture intact by empowering the people to stay in their villages rather than uprooting to look for work in the city. Because these scarves are not mass manufactured but handmade, they may have slight variations, making each one unique. And, buying directly from the weavers means we receive special prices, and we can pass those savings onto you. Don't be fooled by other websites selling similar scarves for $50 and up! Our direct purchase power allows for handmade, high quality at affordable prices.

And the license said you had to stick around until I was dead
But if you're tired of looking at my face, I guess I already am
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright
— Liz Phair, "Divorce Song"
I was going to write this post anyway, but I'm posting it today because of Anne Jackson.
I wrote a post published Saturday about her book, "Permission To Speak Freely," and my reaction to it and to learning after finishing the book that she and her husband were divorcing. She was kind enough to not only read my post this weekend but to actually respond to it, and her response caused the gradual back-burner mulling that was still going on in the dark recesses of my mind to demand more immediate attention.
I may have been a little glib in my review, but the truth is I didn't realize how much the book was still challenging me.
I stand by my original main thought — the book wasn't what I was expecting it to be. I reiterate that for two reasons. First, to say that, should she read this post as well, I would be the first to read a book by Anne Jackson closer to my original expectations — dealing more with the things people feel they can't say in the church, why the church creates that culture, and how the church can begin the work of changing that. The things she wrote about that subject in "Permission" were quite interesting; I would love for her to expound on it.
And I'll admit again that my review was colored by the fact that those things are very much a pet subject for me; I'm passionate about those issues, and perhaps gave the rest of the book shorter shrift than it deserves for that reason.
I do agree, passionately, with the point she makes in the book — that the reason people feel like they can't say things is that nobody says those things. Whatever you're dealing with, you're not the only one who has experienced brokenness, and there are others who can empathize with where you are and what you're dealing with because of their own brokenness. But, unfortunately, since no one feels like they can talk about their brokenness, no one talks about their brokenness, and because no one talks about their brokenness, no one feels like they can talk about their brokenness.
She's right, and she's also right that the only thing that changes that is when people stop caring if others are transparent, and start being transparent themselves. When someone starts, they give permission for others to follow suit. They create a place where it's safe to share. I believe this passionately also, and have strived to do this myself, and have encouraged others to do so.
Her book may not have handed me exactly what it wanted, but she's done something more valuable — she challenged me. And I hope she can appreciate that I offer that as high praise for an author.
Which leaves the other issue; the one Anne talked about in her blog post, the one I eluded to in my review, the one I've been mulling ever since.
I wished I hadn't read about her divorce until after I wrote about the book. It was impossible for me to not be colored by that. I did wait until after writing the review to read her post about her divorce, which may or may not have been good to do.
In my review, I alluded to the fact that the book, to some extent, held her marriage up as evidence of the merits of her arguments. In her reply, Jackson wrote:
Yep. My marriage failed. And it sucks. And the "progress" made in my book is now printed tens of thousands of times to remind me.
Yet have I failed? Am I less loved? Am I less learning?
Hell no.
I've much to learn, much to grow, and never…ever…ever…ever…have the answers.
(As stated in the final chapter) 🙂
And here's the thing — I've been there.
You read Anne's post and you read her book, and together you get this picture: A marriage of about seven and a half years. Struggles because of her sexual abuse in the past. Struggles because of her addiction issues. Perseverance. Love. Victories over those struggles. A marriage that shows that those things can be overcome. And then, one day, it's over.
I've been there. I lived that picture, exactly. Exactly.
The worst days came about two years after we married. I got a call on Valentine's Day that my wife had done things I assumed couldn't be true. They were. Less than two weeks later, we celebrated our second anniversary in a mental health facility.
Those were not good days. Nor were the ones that followed them.
But we persevered. We endured. We struggled and we survived. And things got better.
And because we persevered, because we endured, because we struggled and survived. We thought we had won. We declared victory over the demons that plagued us. We encouraged others. We counted ourselves as a success story. When a cousin's marriage was falling apart, we held ourselves up as an example of the fact that if we could endure what we endured, their problems were certainly no reason for divorce.
And those demons laughed, and waited.
Yes, the worst was behind us. Yes, things had gotten better. But, eventually, even the better version of those problems, over time, wore us down.
And one day we stopped persevering. One day we stopped enduring. One day we stopped struggling and surviving.
And it ended.
We stopped being a shining example, and became another statistic.
Her post does a good job of capturing some of the emotion of being in that situation. If you've been there, if you know anyone who has, if you fear being there, read it.
My most glib and regrettable comment in my review was this: "one's answers to life's problems are valuable only if they're efficacious, and Jackson fails to fully make that case using her life as example." One, it's unkind to rub salt in such a fresh wound. Writing online provides a certain illusion of disconnect, but the truth is its a network that allows anyone to connect with anyone. My words were placed where they could find their way to their subject, and as such were inconsiderate.
Second, they're not really true. Like I said, I agree with what she wrote. I agree with the value of transparency. Nothing in her story belies that.
So why would I write that? Because of the third issue — those words weren't really about her. They were about me. Substitute "Jackson" for "Hitt" (and change the pronoun, of course) and it's a truer statement. Who am I to ever act like I know anything?
Unlike Anne Jackson, I don't have a book recounting those victories and perseverance, my successes and the lessons I shared from them.
All I have is a brick.
A brick we bought during a fundraiser for a major project here in town. We assumed we would be together forever. We had divorced by the time the brick was placed. There's an irony there about being "written in stone."
The brick is still there.
I could probably have it removed. But I don't. Because, as I've said many times since, "those things happened." That's part of my past. That's part of my story. It's a testament to my brokenness. There are lessons there and truths, too valuable to be erased for the convenience of creating a prettier picture.
Things happen sometimes that suck.
Anne, you wrote a good book. I hope your current life situation doesn't diminish that for you at all. Whatever is happening now, whatever happens in the future, those things happened. Your book is truth. And truth is an absolute good. Be proud of it.
For me, the lesson is this.
Until we die, the story isn't over. Our lives aren't fairy tales. We can't declare "happily ever after" until the story is completely told.
Victory doesn't come with major battles that ensure lasting success. It comes one day at a time.
When we declare victory, we're setting ourselves up for defeat.
To have any chance, the only way — the only way — is to fight each day as if that's the day that matters. And be glad for that day, and not think winning today somehow wins tomorrow.
We do indeed have "much to learn, much to grow, and never…ever…ever…ever…have the answers."
I'll also add that you can get an autographed copy of the book for $10 or a really cool t-shirt via the official PTSF website.

text: Pedestrian Safety for Parents and Caregivers Parents are the most important models of proper pedestrian behavior for children. Did you know… Unintentional pedestrian injuries are the 2nd leading cause of death in the United States for children ages 5 to 14? In 2010, 4,280 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in the United States and another 70,000 pedestrians were injured? Nearly 1 in 4 traffic deaths among children ages 14 and under are pedestrian deaths? To Help Protect Yourself and Others, Follow These Tips: Increase your visibility at night by carrying a flashlight when walking and wearing retro-reflective clothing. Always walk on sidewalks or paths. Cross the streets at street corners and always follow traffic signals and crosswalks. Be alert at all times; do not be distracted by cell phones or other digital devices. It is important to be aware of what is going on around you. Be attentive for cars that are backing out of or pulling into driveways or parking lots. Do not use drugs or alcohol when walking; they limit your ability to judge. Make eye contact with drivers to ensure that they see you. Do not assume they are paying attention and will stop for you.

Courtney Phinney will spend the rest of her life making good on a promise – a promise she credits for making the rest of her life possible.
At first glance, the 18-year-old from Fairview Heights, IL, resembles a typical high school senior walking the halls of Belleville East High School. But a closer look reveals the medical apparatus attached to her leg that literally electrifies her muscles into action, and provides a first insight into the frightening path that Courtney has walked.
Her journey began in May 2007, with the diagnosis of a brain tumor called an anaplastic astrocytoma.
"I cried when I found out," Courtney says. "I didn't expect it to be cancer. By the time I got the news, I couldn't even look at the pictures of my brain because I was too blind from the tumor. That made me cry even more."
"My first thought was, 'I'm never gonna have grandkids, never gonna see her grow up or graduate or get married," says Tracey Phinney, Courtney's mom.
Doctors in the Phinneys' home town of Indianapolis were reluctant to try removing the tumor – roughly the size of a 12-ounce soda can – and offered a grim long-term outlook.
"They didn't think she had a fighting chance," says Tracey. "I wanted a second opinion."
The search for a second opinion brought Courtney and her mom to St. Louis, and the office of Dr. Jeffrey Leonard, pediatric neurosurgeon at St. Louis Children's Hospital.
He agreed to operate, but was careful to explain that it would be impossible to remove the entire tumor, that this was a very aggressive form of cancer, and that complete remission was not likely.
Surgery would also carry a strong risk of long-term neurological deficit.
"Courtney showed remarkable courage in this difficult situation," Dr. Leonard said.
Dr. Leonard was able to successfully remove 40% of the tumor.
But something unexpected happened following the surgery, and following nearly a year of treatment that included radiation and chemotherapy. All signs of the tumor disappeared.
"Her doctors have never seen anything like it," says Tracey. "She's amazing - absolutely, positively amazing."
Courtney's family and medical team believe she brought on her successful outcome with her unrelenting positive attitude – in spite of ominous statistics on the recurrence of this kind of tumor, and in spite of post-surgical complications including short-term memory loss, peripheral vision damage, and paralysis on the right side of her body.
Today, Courtney uses a device called a Bioness to help her walk and move around. The Bioness attaches to her right leg and hand, and emits electrical impulses which help move her muscles so she can walk and use that side of her body.
"She's definitely more physically limited than she was prior to all of this," says Tracey.
She also struggles with her school work and, due to her vision challenges, is unable to drive a car.
Roadblocks, perhaps, but not enough to discourage Courtney.
"Courtney has endured everything with a smile on her face," says Tracey. "It's been her attitude that's gotten me through all of this. If she had been a 'poor me' child, I would have been a basket case for the last two years."
Courtney and her mom have made St. Louis their permanent home so they can be close to St. Louis Children's Hospital for follow-up observation and care. Life away from her hometown is tough for Courtney, but she considers herself lucky.
"It's hard to make new friends when you're a senior in high school, and when you're going through treatment for a brain tumor," explains Courtney. "But other than that, I'm happy. I have wonderful therapists, wonderful teachers. I have a wonderful mother and a wonderful sister and grandma."
The Phinneys credit the medical team at St. Louis Children's Hospital – specifically the neuro-oncology team – for the comprehensive care Courtney received.
"We have a broad multidisciplinary neuro-oncology program willing to push the limits of what we can do and never willing to give up hope," says Dr. Leonard.
The neuro-oncology program at St. Louis Children's Hospital sets it apart from other children's hospital brain tumor programs in the Midwest. On any given visit, a child in the neuro-oncology clinic will see a neurosurgeon, oncologist, radiation oncologist, endocrinologist, social worker, physical therapist and neuropsychologist - members of a specialized team designed to meet each child's individual needs.
But the ultimate force in Courtney's recovery, according to the Phinneys, was a divine one.
"God was directing us for whatever reason to be here and for whatever reason put us in the hands of Drs. Leonard and Rubin,"says Tracey. (Courtney's neurosurgeon and oncologist.)
Which brings us back to Courtney's promise.
The successful outcome of her surgery was something even Dr. Leonard didn't expect, and which still proves inspirational to him.
"I was pleasantly surprised that her MRI showed no evidence of tumor," says Dr. Leonard. "Patients like Courtney serve as an inspiration to me. It gives me a new perspective on life and a true illustration of courage."
But Courtney herself was not surprised.
"After my diagnosis, I dreamed I talked to God," explains Courtney. "He told me he was going to save me if I promised to share my story so other people know never to give up. I believe if I hadn't promised God I'd tell people my story, I don't think I would have survived"
She says she knew, as long as she remained strong and positive, and as long as she shared the news of her amazing recovery with anybody who would listen, that she'd survive to tell her story.
Now, she's preparing to attend school to become an oncology nurse, so she can offer hope and comfort to others confronting a terrifying diagnosis.
"She's already given us hope," says Debra Spoljaric, nurse practitioner at St. Louis Children's Hospital. "Patients like Courtney continue to give us hope. You see somebody like Courtney who succeeds - it makes it worth it. It gives us hope that we need to keep doing what we're doing."
Spoljaric believes Courtney will make an excellent nurse.
"I also want to be a mentor," says Courtney, "to go to schools and talk to the kids about cancer."
Whatever she decides to do, those who know her best believe she'll be a success.
"She will always have a friend in her corner," says Dr. Leonard.
"She's defied all odds," says Tracey. "She's an absolute miracle."

Aren't these girls beautiful! My sisters are such a gift to me! I love them so much! I'm not sure they know how much I love them and I want them to know, although I fear words can't express it enough - but I'll try!
The first pic is me and my little sis Jae. Here's why I love her:
1. She's only 13 months younger than me, we fought when we were little but became best friends when we roomed together in college at A&M - whoop!
2. She's beautiful inside and out - she is hot and stylish on the outside and sweet as can be on the inside - she's always been a sharer - she'd lend you the shirt off her back and never asks for anything in return!
3. She's very talented - she can make anything happen - whether it be curtains, purses, backyard patio decor:), or plans for the weekend - you want it done...she's your girl!
4. She's a great christian example, she's got a kind heart and looks out for others, and she has some serious patience when it comes to those who are hard to deal with!
5. She makes some of the funniest faces I've ever seen, just make her turn upside down and look at her chin:) :)
The second pic is me and my older sister Jayna, here's why I love her:

German tuner AC Schnitzer has plied its craft upon the Mini Cooper S Convertible, adding fender flares, more "powah," a limited-slip differential and adjustable suspension. Basically it's a JCW Mini in extravagant duds.
In what might be the first time the German auto market ever gets screwed over for the states, AC Scnitzer is providing their interpretation of the MINI Cooper S at 208 HP for the domestic market and bumping things up to 226 HP for export. Weird. Aside from the tuned engine, the car gets Schnitzerized bodywork, custom exhaust, adjustable-height suspension and modified interior baubles.
"MINI Look" by AC Schnitzer
With innovative developments, the Aachen-based tuning specialist creates driving pleasure and the perfect MINI Look
With its new Convertible (R57), MINI has now produced the next body variant of the cult car. The
AC Schnitzer designers and engineers have already developed a range of special accessories for the new MINI. In keeping with the history of the MINI, the Aachen-based tuning specialists have concentrated on developments in the field of performance upgrades, sports rear silencer, sports suspension, alloy wheels, exterior components and interior details.
Under the small bonnet of the MINI Cooper S the 1.6 litre engine provides power of 175 HP. The AC Schnitzer performance upgrade energizes the MINI Cooper S to 153 kW/208 HP. Under the same conditions, the uprated export version of the Cooper S takes the standard power of 128 kW/175 HP to an impressive 166 kW/226 HP. At the same time, the AC Schnitzer limited slip differential in the MINI Cooper S and Special Model JCW (John Cooper Works) guarantees maximum driving pleasure with excellent ground adhesion.
The perfect driving experience is complemented by the acoustic qualities of the AC Schnitzer sports silencer in special steel with chromed Racing tailpipe for the MINI Cooper S and JCW. The AC Schnitzer sports exhaust perfectly adapts the complete exhaust system to the needs of high performance and tuned engines.
An equally important contribution to driving performance is provided by the renowned
AC Schnitzer suspension components, available in the form of suspension spring kit and height-adjustable racing suspension. In conjunction with an aluminium strut brace for the front, even more performance can be extracted from the MINI One, Cooper or Cooper S.
To fill the wheelarches of the new MINI, AC Schnitzer is also offering a choice of several wheel and tyre combinations with Mi1 rims in 17" and Mi2 rims in 18".
Visually, the new series MINI shows few differences from the current series. The designers of
AC Schnitzer have changed this with front spoilers and rear skirts (for the MINI Cooper S), which not only enhance the looks of the MINI but also offer aerodynamic advantages. Decal sets in white, black or chrome/black put the finishing touches to the appearance of all MINIs.
Characteristic of the MINI, in the interior the central instruments are arranged between driver and passenger. Characteristic of AC Schnitzer, sporting elements are applied to the driver's workplace. So the Aachen designers offer gear knobs, handbrake handle, pedals and foot rests in aluminium, with velours floor mats.

Pat Neshek Baby Death After 23 Hours: Autopsy May Give Clues
Oakland A's pitcher mourns death of child of 23 hours on Twitter.
Oct. 4, 2012 -- Oakland A's baseball pitcher Pat Neshek, whose team was on its way to taking the American League West title from the Texas Rangers, witnessed the birth of his newborn son in Florida -- calling it "the sweetest play off birth of my career."
But 23 hours later that joy turned to tragedy when the baby died of no apparent cause.
The wrenching story went online real time as Neshek tweeted first his excitement of the birth and then the death Wednesday of their seemingly healthy 8-pound, 5-ounce son, Gehrig John Neshek.
"Please pray for my family," he wrote on Twitter with an accompanying photo of mother and son. "Tonight my wife and I lost our first and only son 23 hours after he was born with no explanation."
"This happens sometimes," said Dr. Edward Bell, professor of pediatrics and director of neonatology at the University of Iowa, who is not involved with this case. "Fortunately, it's very rare."
"I don't know the circumstances, but it's pretty unusual to find a baby dead in the bassinette in the hospital because usually the parents or the nurse notice something and the baby gets transferred to intensive care," said Bell. "I don't know if anything like that happened in this case."
"It's going to be important to have an inquiry into what may have precipitated the event," he said. "That may be very helpful for the parents if they are looking for answers -- if not spare them the heartbreak. But at least it will give them some idea of why it happened."
It was not immediately clear if the death occurred in the hospital, where newborns are usually kept for 24 hours, or at their home after an early release.
The first step in getting answers will be to "look back and find clues," said Bell. "They will start with the where and when and how did it happen – what was going on. Was the baby at home or at the hospital? What happened just before he died."
"There are a lot of things that can threaten the life of a newborn, including birth defects, infection, genetic disease and even unfortunate things like accidents and suffocation," he said.
Doctors say that there has been a move toward early discharge but hospitals generally prefer not to send the baby home before 24 hours because of these types of cases.
"It's hard to know anything without more information," said Dr. Ian Holzman, chief of neonatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. "We need to know where the baby was found dead. Babies can have obstructed airways feeding or being put down wrong way."
"Of course, we don't want to blame the parents," he said. "It's horrible what the parents are going through."
Even a child born with birth defects can look normal at delivery, according to Holzman. Congenital heart defects may not be picked up at first. "There can be genetic reasons why a baby all of a sudden dies, but it's very rare."
Neshek, 32, had been given leave from the A's to attend the birth and missed the team's dramatic winning games. He has been a Major League pitcher since 2006.
He runs his own website and is also an avid blogger.
"Our hearts go out to Pat and Stephanee and we share in their sorrow of losing their young son," the A's told the Associated Press. "The entire A's organization will keep the Neshek family in our prayers and thoughts, as they try to come to grips with this tragic occurrence in their lives."
Pat Neshek last pitched for the A's on Sunday. The former Twins reliever had a 1.92 ERA in 19 2/3 innings for Oakland this season, making him an obvious candidate for a spot on the team's postseason roster. The A's are set to face the Tigers in the ALDS beginning on Saturday.

August 7, First Day of School
On the warm, sunny summer day that would kick off the start of the new school year in Mana, our story begins in a small, verdant island that sat just off the coast of Lake Superior. The sound of wholesome laughter, heated debate among students and faculty, and gleeful reunion permeated the lighthearted, carefree atmosphere of the Academy courtyard, with it's grounds in pristine condition as students new and old roamed about and observed their new surroundings, most of them only just arriving on the scene.
Though one might expect to see a crowd full of wizards and witches in elaborate, otherworldly garb, a great many within the crowd wore simple, casual black or white clothing in their strolls from place to place. However, some of the more proud students descended from the more wealthy magical families did in fact wear traditional robes, capes, and the like to emphasize their 'noble heritage', or to simply stand out among the black and white shirts and jeans that so many first year students had on.
Deviating from those that stood with their friends near the courtyard's ancient, ornately designed fountain, sat Aria Comnena under the shade of one of the great trees off the beaten path from the stone gray roads to led students to the Academy's main buildings and dormitories, her shoulder length crimson hair swaying in the soft, cool breeze that rippled through the air as she stroked the head of her little drakeling, Nero. Over a simple white blouse, she wore a set of long, flowing scarlet robes adorned with small but elaborate golden embellishments, signifying her lineage as a maiden of one of the magical world's Great Houses.
Aria's calm, emerald colored eyes looked out upon the crowd that had assembled itself at the center of the courtyard, scanning for the faces of the friends she had served her tenure at Mana with last year. Owing mainly to a bit of lethargy on her part and the content feeling she found in the feeling of her dragon companion's scales, her search was not as comprehensive as it could have been, though there was always the occasional interesting character in the crowd. With a warm smile on her pale face, she closed her eyes and let the swaying of branches and leaves lull her into a restful state.
"This is going to be great, Nero...I'm sure of it."

You know those few days before company comes over that you frantically run around stashing all the toys in the spare room cleaning your house like mad? The last two weeks around here have looked something like that. Our home is made for living. With a four year old. So if you come over most days, it will look something like what you see here today, but you might also step on an Octonaut or five, or a Barbie on your way in, or find all of the pillows in fort formation in the living room. We're all about making memories around here and enjoying living–no fuss. Home for us is all about being surrounded by the things we love: photos, Adelie's (my daughter) artwork, collections of mementos and little treasures that just make us smile–all on a budget. It comes with time, collecting, thrift store and yard sale hunting, and a lot of sweat, ingenuity, and patience from my husband–bless that man. So, grab a cup of coffee and come in. This is my first official home tour ever, so: WELCOME TO MY HOME!

She can sing her heart out, but Carly Rae Jepsen would probably be the first to admit she can't throw a baseball to save her life.
The "Call Me Maybe" crooner threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Sunday's Tampa Bay Rays game against the Houston Astros in St. Petersburg, Fla. And by the looks of things, the 27-year-old Jepsen threw a curve ball all right.
Forgoing a full wind-up, the hitmaker reeled back and let 'er rip, but held onto the ball too long, grounding it in the grass a few feet from the pitcher's mound until it rolled weakly away from the batter's box and toward the first base line.
U.S. & World
Mouthing the words "Oh my," Jepsen burst out laughing and put her hands to her face in obvious embarrassment.
NEWS: Carly Rae Jepsen talks making music with boyfriend Matthew Koma
No doubt she still has some basic mechanics to work on--like how to actually throw!
Though if you ask the announcers on Fox Sports, which broadcast the game and posted the video online, Carly was "throwing strike after strike" during a warm-up.
We'll have to take their word for it.
PHOTO: Carly Rae Jepsen is a red head
When she's not vying for the title of the worst ceremonial first pitch ever thrown in Major League history, Jepsen has been hard at work writing and recording her third studio album following the success she had with Kiss, which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard charts.
The songstress also made headlines last month after she defended Justin Bieber to Billboard when asked about the flood of negative press her fellow pop star has been garnering lately.

Creating a truly headless pup derivative (new issues
I'm working on a puppy derivative that can operate in a fully headless environment, from the initial boot onwards. At the same time I also want this derivative to be able to use X automatically if the system is actually hooked up to a monitor/keyboard.
A little background. These questions are focused on the tweaks I'm making for the next revision of
. As an audiophile oriented release I don't want unnecessary processes running, so I generally don't want X. This derivative is aimed at few audiences:
Windows/Mac users coming from an iTunes/Mediamonkey/Foobar/etc world - CLI and config file phobic, so give them a GUI during the initial setup & whenever else required
Technically oriented users who appreciate someone else doing the heavy lifting for them, but aren't afraid of a CLI (prefer remote management)
(stretch) Users using embedded x86 boards such as the Alix or Soekris boards - most of which lack a VGA out
There are a few 'how to use puppy without a monitor' threads, but they're more about workarounds than getting this done as a standard part of a build. Most of the changes are around the initial bootup and shutdown.
Detecting if a monitor is attached. Using ddcprobe right now. This is probably the most unwieldy piece, but it works on my hardware (except VMware which is quite vague about monitor support).
Initial boot rc.country locale wizard - modified rc.sysinit to use the above script
Not working with recent woof snapshots
Prompt the user to change the password if sshd is enabled - do it either from the ssh session or a monitor/keyboard session
SSHd - start in rc.d/rc.services instead of init.d
IP - dhcp default enabled in rc.network
Bonjour/Zeroconf so a user can find the server
Modify rc.shutdown to check if the tty that initiated the reboot is an SSH tty, and redirect output there instead of /dev/console.
Initial implementation attached. I don't claim to be a Linux expert, so I don't know if what I've done is the 'right' way, and I'd love to hear suggestions for improvement. I've attached avahi as a separate package as many Windows users may not find it valuable. I did go out of my way to compile a very lightweight version of Avahi, by default they want to compile with a dozen dependencies....
If you install Avahi then your hostname is most likely puppypc.local, as that's the default Puppy Linux hostname for most builds.
Note I haven't tested these pets explicitly - I've tested all the files, but they were extracted from the setup I'm using to build my remasters, let me know if something seems to be missing.
All this work was done on 4.2 Turbopup. I think most of these scripts haven't really changed for the 5.x branch, but I haven't done a diff to confirm. The only thing pending testing is whether this will work from a serial console.

Done a bit of experimenting. Using xrandr to detect a connected monitor doesn't work until after the first time X has been configured/run. So that's out. Looks like the other option is ddcprobe - problem is I can't find any decent documentation on this, and the Google examples I have found seem to show it's output can be all over the map.

If I only want to target 'real' hardware then looking for ddcprobe output that contains 'monitor' or 'timing' seems to indicate a monitor is attached, but it's not so cut and dry for VMWare. I don't really need to support VMWare behaving perfectly but it makes me wonder if there is other legit hardware that will look similar to VMWare...
I also did some experimenting with SSH and rc.shutdown. Triggering a reboot from ssh seems to do some weird things. Most of rc.shutdown is NOT redirected to the ssh tty, but it seems like some parts probably are. When issued a reboot from ssh to my vm in Pupmode 5 I got the first dialog in the shutdown script, but selecting one of the options gave me back the prompt in the VMWare monitor while the SSH session was cleared and hung.
I'm not really sure how much work it would take to make rc.shutdown be able to redirect to either the ssh tty or /dev/console based on where it was initiated from. Beyond that there is the matter of figuring out which tty is tied to ssh...

That could help for some modes of shutdown as I work through all the variables, thanks.
I just read through rc.shutdown and realized that almost everything was hard-coded to output to /dev/console.
I just did a quick tweak to add a check to see if the current tty is the same as the SSH_TTY environment variable, and if so set all the instances of /dev/console to that tty. Puppy wasn't running in Pupmode 5, which is what I really need to test, but the change in logic seemed to redirect everything to my ssh session, so I think this might be the route to take.
Edit - my changes to rc.shutdown seem to work perfectly over ssh with a fresh/pupmode5 install. Just need to solve the monitor detection, and I think that can be done relatively easily (just not sure how reliably).

Hi @ldolse
This looks like an exciting contribution to this community..... and Linux n general.
That is, "the ability to get an Puppy desktop on a separate computer from the actual".
Thus, this indicates that one can have a Puppy system running somewhere supporting user(s) which logon for any number of reasons. Reasons: maintenance, upgrades, tool use, checking email, etc.
One question that I have which you may already be thinking about is how will you handle and receive audio/video on the client PC which connects to your headless (or even a "heady") PC?
Just curious.

Thanks gcmartin, note I'm not trying to create multi-user Puppy, just want to be able to setup and access the system without explicitly requiring a monitor/mouse/keyboard for the initial setup (or ever).
That's not to say you couldn't have multiple users access the Puppy desktop once this work is done - a remote xwindows session can run over ssh - whether this currently works with Puppy isn't something I've tested and not really on my to-do list. Although having a headless server isn't required for this application, you just need a working ssh daemon.
Based on that I'm not really thinking about remote users getting their own audio streams from the desktop. I believe something like that should be doable with Jack or Pulseaudio, but I'm not certain.
I do plan to make mpdpup easily create multiple sound outputs in the future, so you could potentially use it to create a whole-house audio system (provided the right audio cables were routed around the house).

This is really nice and will be very handy. I have the following suggestions.
1. Automatically detect and mount USB-Harddisks when inserted
2 Will you include samba, so that we can we can add new media files to the headless client?
3. A DNLA server.
4. For me a Squeezeboxserver would be optimal for streaming music.

ldolse, Thanks for your reply.
I think I may not have conveyed my question approprately. I apologize.
When I said user (s), I was referring to people sitting at another PC on your LAN.
When I refer to desktop, a desktop to me means the Puppy desktop we see if we were sitting at that Headless PC with a monitor-keyboard-mouse-speakers attached. This has been a source of discussion in the forum at various times.
If I understand your answer: No, you will not be attempting to provide a multimedia desktop experience when you logon to your headless PC from another PC on your LAN.
Would you share how you provided the SSH setup, BOTH, for your Headless "server" and your thin/thick client so that we can replicate your contribution?
@SDP does ask key questions.... What ways do you envision your use of your Headless system at your location?

No worries, I think I did understand your question, just wanted to be sure. As far as I'm aware there are two basic ways of doing that - run vnc, or run a remote X session over ssh. I think the remote X session requires a fair bit of work, which is why things like VNC are popular.
For myself the primary use is as a music server - i.e. the replacement to the traditional CD player. One doesn't expect to need to hook up a monitor and keyboard to their CD player, same goes for a music server.
I do plan to upload a pet file with all my modifications once I get all the things targeted in the first post done. That way if someone else is targeting a different embedded application they can just run with it. I'm also hoping to get a bit of feedback and any advice for improvement.
@SBP, some of those things are on my to-do list.
Detecting and mounting USB is on the list, but a fairly low priority - I'd like to see some example implementations.
No plans to include Samba, I'd rather store the files on a NAS, and I want the system focused on playing music, not transferring files.
Squeezebox is still on my to-do list, I haven't forgotten, I just put it on the back burner. You'll be happy to know I got it working (at least starting without errors). However the build process is a nightmare, so it's going to take some serious effort to figure out how to package all the related files into a .pet or .sfs.
Not planning on DLNA, I have yet to be convinced of the value of the protocol. I'm open to being convinced about it though

Hi Idolse
I tried for some time back also to make a headless puppy - see these posts: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=571240708&t=66633
So it can be done - however I did not have it to automatically show if you plugged in a monitor.
For the shutdown I used "Here is how I shut it down after a advice from 01micko. I installed acpid-1.0.8-20100603.pet and now I just press the power button once, then Puppy shut down nicely"
I that way you only need to press the powerbutton - as you would on any other equipment like a cd-player or TV and the unit would power-down.
Your concept is really good, but as I would use it would be like a CD-player, where you plugged-in a USB-HDD, and the played music from here. Therefore I think it would be cool if you also where able to put new music on the HDD via another PC or even a smartphone - therefore SAMBA would come in handy.

Booting without a monitor already works in mpdPup as xwin is disabled by default. I wanted the auto-detection of the monitor to eliminate the requirement for a less technical user to type 'xwin'.
(And also to bypass the mouse/keyboard prompts which is probably more important.)
Regarding shutdown I don't think the ACPI pet is always required - the system is already running read only and clicking the power button shuts it down just fine. The main issue was getting the shutdown script working correctly on the initial bootup, and I'm now past that hurdle.
I understand where you're coming from with plugging in drives and automatically playing off of them. This is indeed something I'd like to get working, but I think it's easier said than done. Getting a drive automounted isn't that complicated. It's the unmount that's problematic - in my experience linux doesn't behave well when a mounted path is removed without being umounted, and how to you tell a system with no directly attached user interface you want to safely remove a drive? I know a technically oriented user can do it via SSH, but that's not particularly idiotproofed.
I know that people have solved this problem, as this is how the Bryston BDP-1 works, along with the Auraliti systems. I'm just not sure how they've done gone about it...
Samba can always be installed from a .pet - the config isn't locked in stone. I assume someone else has compiled it somewhere...

Did some more testing with those files, turned out the script to detect whether a monitor is connected wasn't always working correctly with get-edid, so I switched it to using only ddcprobe. The side effect is that any 'monitors' that don't report their existence (e.g. VMWare) won't be detected. Not sure if VMware is the only culprit or if there are real world monitors which behave similarly.
I also read through rc.shutdown in more detail and decided to move the portion of the script which disabled the network and added a line to kill sshd. This wasn't actually causing me problems during my testing, but based on the comments in the script it appears that it might have caused problems for other users, as I think the ssh daemon was preventing the script from shutting down the network.
On a related note I tested this on a different platform - been mostly testing on VMware and an Intel Atom board. This evening I tested it on an embedded x86 Soekris board (no vga out) and it worked great. Not sure if the serial console works (didn't seem to at first blush), but it wasn't required with the other pieces the script enables as ssh was accessible out of the box.
Updated file in the first post - only the headless_patch file was updated.

All of the changes discussed here are now integrated into
, if you want to see it in action. I did discover one last important item for anyone looking to duplicate this.
I added a setup wizard which launches from .ssh/rc for the first boot - the version in the Pet file in the first post only launches a warning about changing the password, but in my final version I wanted to launch a complete wizard. The end of the wizard asks to reboot the system.
The thing about anything running from the .ssh/rc script is that it isn't running from a tty, so the initial changes I added to rc.shutdown failed. Turns out that the SSH_TTY environment variable only exists for things initiated from SSH. If I tested the SSH_TTY variable from the monitor/keyboard while simultaneously running a separate SSH session the variable didn't even exist - it only existed in the context of the SSH session.
This enabled a further simplification of the check in rc.shutdown:
if [[ $SSH_TTY ]]; then
This will need some further refinement to get the serial console working - tested this and it definitely doesn't work. I think that will be easy enough to test for in rc.shutdown when that time comes.
I've attached my latest version of rc.shutdown here. If anyone is interested i can rebuild the pet in the first post.
I also discovered that there is some sort of security context issue with running from .ssh/rc with regard to passwords. I can't launch the 'passwd' command from inside that script successfully - it launches passwd but passwd won't prompt or change the password. Once the script is executed and you're in a normal tty then running the same script works fine... Not sure if there is a solution there, but I gave up on it and switched to just warning the user about the default password.
Shutdown script supporting SSH shutdowns.

I can see what @SBP is getting at with his reference to SAMBA. Its how we have been using our PCs over the past 17 years (Windows95).
If we have Multimedia files, we share it out over the LAN for other devices/users to use.
I also understand your focus of a audio-centric device. But, you may want to consider what @SBP offers in that, should anyone decide to use your Audio Headless system to also centrally store the media files, no user (especially newbies) should have to install ANY Linux subsystem (SAMBA is a Linux subsystem) to share those files with the plethora of media players that already exist in today's world and LANs.
SAMBA is NOT a MS connecti utility. In fact IBM, ATT, Novell was doing this initially with the International spec before Microsoft was given the spec by IBM. SAMBA is simply the agreement with Linus of how to best manage against ths spec for LAN services. And, like Puppy's author, another Australian partnered with Linus to produce this secure Linux subsystem.
I hope this is seen as providing helpful information about how we, users, have been using MS in the past for sharing multimedia (audio) files on the LAN for playback....no matter what other LAN devices we have which would want to use those audio files.
P.S. Have you seen your PM?

Have a Safe Summer Cook-out – Keep Your Food Safe!
By: Donna Quirk, MBA RD LD
LMC Clinical Nutrition Manager
Its summer and it is time for vacations and get-togethers with family and friends. With soaring temperatures, it is more important than ever to keep food safety in mind when planning that outdoor barbecue, pool party or day at Lake Murray.
So as you head outside, remember to:
- Wash the grill and wash you hands before you start preparing and cooking food. Bring moist towelettes or waterless hand sanitizer outside for everyone to use.
- Avoid cross-contamination by washing tongs and other cooking utensils that touch raw meat before using them to remove cooked meat and other foods from the grill.
- Don't end up with undercooked meat by relying on your vision to determine if meat is cooked. Use a food thermometer. Cook hamburgers to an internal temperature of 160° F and chicken breasts and legs to 165°F.
- It is hot out there! Don't let food sit out for more than one hour in 90° or above temperatures. Use a cooler filled ¼ full of ice or ice packs to promptly store foods after they are served. Pay close attention to mayonnaise-based salads like egg, potato, and tuna salads.
- Don't use ice that was in a cooler keeping food cold in a beverage. Ice may pick up bacteria from leaking food containers.
Enjoy your summer get-togethers, but also take a little extra time to plan how you will keep your food safe in this famous South Carolina heat. By doing so, you will ensure everyone has a great day out!

Fashion month is upon us, and it was kickstarted with the ever -so-chic New York Fashion Week. Showcasing collections for Spring/Summer of the upcoming year, the runways shone with lively colours,reinvented concepts, and exquisite design. Not only is NYFW known to draw crowds from around the world, but also designers hailing from around the globe. These connoisseurs get to set the hottest trends for the season in the Big Apple, and India was not to be left far behind. Naeem Khan, Bibhu Mohapatra and Sachin & Babi made a sizeable dent on the fashion armour with stellar collections, and it looks like they're here to stay. Here's a roundup of their collections!
Naeem Khan
The very biggest names are patrons of Naeem Khan's magnificent designs—Michelle Obama, Vanessa Hudgens and Bella Thorne to name a few. The designer took inspiration from the '50s and '60s for his uber glamorous spring-summer collection. The splendid taffeta ball gowns were the highlight of his collection. Crafted in lively pinks and yellows, the gowns were embellished with exquisite beadwork in floral and paisley patterns, and came packed with pockets. Other garments included magnificent printed slit dresses and a gown with striking red embroidery. Khan definitely wowed the crowd but really, does he ever disappoint?
Bibhu Mohapatra
Bibhu Mohapatra's collection stunned New York fashionistas with impeccably tailored garments. Heavily influenced by the Bauhaus era and Swiss photojournalist Annemarie Schwarzenbach, the line had an androgynous, minimalist theme. Geometric shapes and textures were the norm, and luscious neoprene and silks dominated the runway. Jumpsuits and gowns in gorgeous silvers, greens and dusty pinks strutted alongside striking abstract printed pant suits. Mohapatra's distinctive aesthetic was one of the most unique ones seen at NYFW.
Sachin & Babi
Spring/Summer 2016 done in the Sachin & Babi way is a dreamy and romantic spectacle. Off-shoulder midi dresses, and formal blouse and pants combinations featured fanciful floral motifs, but the highpoint of the collection were the flamboyant gowns by the husband-wife duo. Three-tiered chiffon delights, these gowns were ensconced in refreshing flowers in primary colours. The dynamic pair also included gorgeous casual evening wear in the show held at their East Side townhouse.

Looks like Adele isn't married just yet.
The "Rumor Has It" singer, 24, took to Twitter on Thursday to shoot down reports claiming she had secretly wed boyfriend Simon Konecki.

U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"I'm not married…Zzzzzzz," she Tweeted on Thursday, following reports by Life & Style and the UK's Daily Mail stating the British chanteuse had tied the knot with her entrepreneur beau.
Though the singer — who is expecting a baby with Simon – denied the marriage rumors, she was photographed wearing what appeared to be a wedding band in London in July.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Adele first revealed her pregnancy in June.
"I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together," she wrote on her website at the time. "I wanted you to hear the news direct from me. Obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time."
The Grammy-winning singer met boyfriend Simon, 38, in summer 2011.

The pair first went public in January in Florida during a trip to the Everglades. They also attended the 2012 Grammy Awards together in February, where Adele won six awards — including the coveted categories of record, song and album of the year.
A rep for Adele had no comment regarding the wedding rumors when contacted by Access Hollywood on Thursday.

UConn next obstacle in SMU's path to bowl game
Recommended Video:
DALLAS (AP) -- SMU is in a precarious situation trying to get to its fifth consecutive bowl game under coach June Jones.
Six wins might not be enough this time to get a postseason berth, like it was last year. The Mustangs (3-5, 2-2 AAC) might have to win their final four games.
The first step is Saturday, when SMU is back home as a two-touchdown favorite against winless Connecticut (0-8, 0-4).
SMU quarterback Garrett Gilbert is the national leader with 409 total yards a game. He has averaged 480 yards the last four games while throwing for 1,746 yards with 13 touchdowns and only one interception. He has also run for five scores in that span.
"His confidence has risen and his play has shown through that. ... I'm glad we have him," Jones said. "I didn't realize that he had never had the same offensive system in college two years in a row. So with that said, that makes sense why he's starting to gain his confidence."
Even with Gilbert's recent surge, the Mustangs have won only two of those four games. Gilbert threw two TDs to Darius Joseph in the fourth quarter last week before a 28-25 loss at Cincinnati.
While SMU is set at quarterback with Gilbert, the Huskies plan to give redshirt freshman quarterback Casey Cochran his first career start.
"We think he gives us the best chance at this point in time," interim coach T.J. Weist said. "He's done a great job the last few games, coming in and leading us to scoring drives. He's made good decisions in practice through the whole fall."
Cochran, who will be the third different starter for the Huskies this season, has completed 17 of 28 passes for 183 yards with two touchdowns and an interception as a reserve in four games. Tim Boyle, the freshman who started the last four games, completed only 44 percent of his passes (58 of 132) with eight interceptions and no touchdowns.
"We will try some different things with our game plan," Weist said. "We're not going to reinvent the offense. We just have to throw it and catch it better."
Five things to know when Connecticut plays SMU:
BACK IN THE WIN COLUMN: SMU has played Connecticut only once before, a home game the Mustangs won 31-30 on Sept. 16, 1989. The significance of that victory was it was SMU's first after coming back from being the only team given the so-called death penalty by the NCAA. The Mustangs didn't play a game in 1987 or 1988 before returning to the field. Coach June Jones said that's not even something that's been discussed by his team this week.
BUSY COACH: Weist, a 25-year coaching veteran, took over as Connecticut's interim head coach after the fourth game of the season. He was the receivers coach at Cincinnati before joining the Huskies staff this season. When Weist got elevated to interim head coach, he still maintained his duties as offensive coordinator and overseeing the team's receivers.
HOME LEAGUE: SMU is 16-2 in conference games at home since 2009. Most of those were in Conference USA. Since moving to the American Athletic Conference this season, the Mustangs are 1-1 in league home games -- a pair of wild ones. There was a 55-52 triple-overtime loss to Rutgers in the first one after scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter, and a 59-49 win over Temple three weeks ago when Garrett Gilbert threw for a school-record 538 yards with four TDs while running for 97 yards and two more scores while SMU again trailed by 21 points after halftime.
DAVIS DOUBLES UP: Geremy Davis is UConn's leading receiver for the second consecutive season, with 41 catches this season for 620 yards. He has three 100-yard games, but hasn't yet scored a touchdown. Last season, Davis had 44 catches for 613 yards with one TD.
DEFENSIVE ADJUSTMENTS: Mustangs defensive coordinator Tom Mason plans to increase the playing time for some young defensive backs, including freshman cornerback Darion Richardson, though he's not ready for them to be starters. That goes for some other positions as well.

Seward, a neighborhood on the western bank of the Mississippi River, is bound on the north by Interstate 94, on the east by the Mississippi River, on the south by 27th Street East and on the west by Hiawatha Avenue. The neighborhood is named for William Seward, secretary of state under Abraham Lincoln. Of the neighborhood's 390 acres, 54 percent are residential and almost 20 percent are industrial. The industrial uses are located along Minnehaha and Snelling avenues and 27th Street East in the southwestern portion of the neighborhood. Parks line the river and Seabury Avenue. A group of rail workers' houses on Milwaukee Avenue built at the end of the 19th century and restored in the late 1970s has National Historic Preservation status and gives character to this neighborhood. Seward is connected to downtown, the airport and the Mall of America through the newly opened light-rail line.
