TEAMS: Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic
The Milwaukee Bucks have enjoyed plenty of success against the Atlantic Division this season, but like many teams, they had none when they faced New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony in November. The Bucks seek to even the season series with the Knicks, and they have played well at Madison Square Garden in recent seasons heading into Friday night's matchup. Milwaukee (24-20) is 8-2 against Atlantic foes, though it fell 102-88 at home in its lone meeting with New York (28-15) on Nov. 28. Anthony scored 29 points while sitting out the fourth quarter with the game in hand. Few other teams have been able to slow down Anthony, as he's set a franchise record with 30 straight games of at least 20 points. He's averaging 29.7 in a three-game win streak over the Bucks, though Milwaukee has won six of eight at MSG. "He's an MVP candidate, I don't care how you slice it," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "He's put himself in that category based on how he&...

Be prepared for good laughs… and good scares at…
Halloween Town!
What, Where, When is Halloween Town…
We are excited to announce that the 5th annual Halloween Town is taking place on Saturday, October 25th, 2014! More than 200 enthusiastic volunteers are combining creative talent to bring this uniquely fun and fantastical experience to life. Be prepared for good laughs… and good scares!!
Halloween Town is being hosted by Purity Spring Resort on the grounds of Tohkomeupog, a summer camp for boys in East Madison, NH. Tohkomeupog is located at 2151 East Madison Road, near the junction of Eaton Road (Rt. 153) and next to King Pine Ski Area.
Halloween Town has been designed with the desire to offer kids an opportunity to enjoy… what some of us remember from childhood…Traditional Halloween Fun. By that I mean, the ability to walk around a "neighborhood" and visit houses in trick-or-treat style.
Tohkomeupog has a number of rustic cabins which will be theatrically transformed in preparation for this truly unique event. Halloween Town features a Kid Carnival, Petting Farm, Food Court, Tethered Hot Air Balloon Rides, Entertainment, Amusement Rides… and the incredible, "Trick-or-Treat Trail!"
Event History…
- Year 1 (2009) approximately 300 people explored the haunted pathways of Halloween Town
- Year 2 (2010) numbers soared, with over 1,200 visitors.
- Year 3 (2011) numbers soared again, with over 2,000 visitors.
Year 4 (2012) numbers soared yet again, with an estimate 3500 visitors.
- Year 5 (2013) we are expecting an enthusiastic turnout – we hope to see you there!
Event Purpose…
This unusual event is being presented in support of…The Laura Foundation for Autism and Epilepsy. It helps spread the word! Halloween Town introduces the community to The Laura foundation. We are a non-profit organization with an important and inspired mission: to enhance the lives of individuals living with autism and epilepsy.
It helps raise needed funds! Money is raised through corporate sponsors, food & souvenir
sales, amusement rides, and voluntary donations at the event. There is No Admission Fee to Halloween Town – this includes the Trick-or-Treat Trail and the Carnival Games!
It helps us reach for our goals! We are in the process of developing an Adaptive Sports and Recreation Center, located in Madison, NH – the first of its kind based in New England. It will be largely utilized by the disabled populations in New Hampshire and Western Maine.
Event Hours…
- 3:00PM: Food Court, Kid Carnival, Amusement Ride – 8:00PM
- 3:00PM: Petting Farm & 'Halloweenie Walk' – for non-scary trick-or-treat fun! – 7:00PM
- 4:00PM Trick-or-Treat Trail – until 8:00PM (Halloweenie Walk portion of trail will close earlier)
Some of the Fun Event Details…
Tethered Hot Air Balloon Rides: Balloon Rides are available at Halloween Town thanks to the support of REMAX realtors and AmeriGas. There is a ticket fee (and liability release) to ride the Hot Air Balloon – all ticket money goes directly to The Laura Foundation. Weather dependant.
Petting Farm: Several local farms are bringing animals (i.e. goats, sheep) for kids to pet and possibly feed. For the well-being of the animals, this part of the event is weather dependant.
The Kid Carnival: located under the Big Tent, features a Bouncy House, Face Painting, and an array of Carnival Games. Some games will be just for fun, others for small prizes. Our thanks to the Key Club at Kennett High School for helping run the carnival games.
Entertainment: We are working on getting a variety of local talent to participate in Halloween Town. This may include Story Tellers, Vocalists, Musicians… and maybe even a few Magic Tricks. What would Halloween be without tricks?! Entertainers will be situated at select locations throughout Halloween Town – a schedule of performances will be posted in the Town Centre.
Amusement Rides: In 2011 we introduced the Dizzy Dragon to Halloween Town. This very kid friendly ride was a big hit and will likely be making an encore appearance this year. There is a ticket fee to ride the Dizzy Dragon – all ticket money goes directly to The Laura Foundation.
Food Court: Items, such as Burgers, Hot Dogs, and Chicken Fingers will be available for purchase. For those of you craving more traditional carnival food; Fried Onions, Apple Crisp, Pizza and Popcorn will also be offered, plus a variety of baked goods – all money goes directly to The Laura Foundation.
Trick-or-Treat Trail: The Trick-or-Treat Trail is comprised of an atmospherically lighted pathway guiding "trick-or-treaters" throughout camp to visit a series of Halloween-themed cabins. Halloween surprises, (candy, treats, knick-knacks), will be offered at each cabin. The trail is over ½ mile in length.
There are a total of about 25 cabins / haunted areas situated along the trail. The interior of each cabin is being transformed with a specific theme in mind. Visitors will be invited inside each cabin to look around and experience whatever the hosts have dreamed up.
Along the trail, visitors may pass through spooky areas intended to add to the chill and thrill of the adventure. However, while parts of the Trick-or-Treat Trail are strongly rumored to be haunted, this is designed to be a kid-friendly event.
In general, the trail is set up such that cabins become progressively scarier. Cabins will be designated by level of scare, ranging from "not scary at all"… to "potentially causing panic". There is always the option to skip a cabin or haunted area if it appears to be too scary.
The "Halloweenie Walk" will visit the first 4 cabins on the trail, designed with our youngest trick-or-treaters in mind. That is, they will be transformed for fun, rather than fright… and will be appropriate for visitors of all ages; little ones are most certainly welcome.
The final 4 cabins on the trail will be the scariest, and will be located on a separate portion of the trail, know as "The Scarea". Truth is, however, that it is difficult for us to guess what will be scary to any specific visitor. What makes one person laugh, may make another scream and run.
What age kids will enjoy Halloween Town…?
The Kid Carnival is being designed around younger kids; ages 4 and up. Some of the games will be fun for 4-year olds; some will be fun for 10-year olds as well. Personally, I think they are all fun! The Petting Farm and The Halloweenie Walk are appropriate for all ages.
The remainder of the Trick-or-Treat Trail should be suitable for most elementary school to middle school aged kids. Again, some cabins may be scary to some kids. For that matter, some may be scary to some adults as well. Balloon rides are pretty cool for all ages! It's all in good fun…
Candy available along the Trick-or-Treat Trail is primarily intended for the kids. While many adults also come to enjoy Halloween Town, we ask that adults refrain from gathering candy. We just want to have enough for the kids. Candy is made possible through the support of Hannaford's of North Conway.
What should we wear…?
Halloween Town will take place, rain or shine… so trick-or-treaters should dress appropriately for the weather. Parts of the trail wander through dark and forested area; appropriate footwear is strongly recommended. Flashlights may be useful; please use with discretion so as not to disturb the spirits!
Costumes are not required, but would certainly be appropriate… and we would love to see them. At the same time, overly bulky costumes may inhibit kids from being able to enjoy such features as the Bouncy House… or the Haunted House (tight corridors and confined spaces)
Rain or Shine – how will rainy weather affect Halloween Town…?
Most of the haunted areas are located inside cabins, which are protected from the weather. Carnival games will be set up under a big tent. Food vendors will also be protected from the weather… or simply moved inside the camp lodge. Please keep all fingers crossed we don't get a random blizzard.
Heavy rain may inhibit certain components of Halloween Town; some of the animals in the petting farm are weather dependant. Also, tethered balloon rides may be suspended in the case of foul weather. However… it has been proved that this is a great event, regardless of Mother Nature's mood!
The Trick-or-Treat Trail will be monitored by members of our volunteer 'Ghost Patrol', many of whom are also active on Ski Patrol at King Pine. Ghost Patrollers will wander the trail and assist as necessary. Of course all cabin hosts, even the scarier ones, will be looking after the safety of the kids.
East Madison Road will get busy as people drive through camp to get to Halloween Town. All pedestrian crossings will be guided on established cross walks, monitored by volunteers. We ask that all visitors to Halloween Town respect barriers, fencing, and directional signage designed for safe pedestrian flow.
On the chance an emergency does arise, a first aid station will be located near the Food Court. In the past, Madison Rescue has maintained a presence at this site to be available for assistance. While cell phone service is poor at Halloween Town, we will be able to call for more assistance if needed.
Where should we park…?
There will be NO parking available at the event itself. Cars will be directed to park in one of the King Pine Ski Area parking lots. Transportation between parking areas and Halloween Town will be available by Shuttle Bus, provided by Purity Spring Resort. Walking is also permitted.
A section designated as 'handicapped parking' will be blocked off, yet available for visitors needing extra assistance. This area will be located in Halloween Town, and monitored by volunteers. We are expecting a big turnout for this event and will make every effort to facilitate parking.
This event sounds incredible, how are you pulling it off…?
Response to the idea of Halloween Town has been enthusiastic and supportive from its onset. It will be successful because there are many people who feel a strong & sincere connection to The Laura Foundation… through family, friend or business… and who are committed to this effort.
Many Tohkomeupog alumni, Purity Spring Resort employees, and Mount Washington Valley community members are pulling together to help create Halloween Town. In fact, we have well over 200 volunteers combining creative efforts and enthusiasm to bring this event to life.
Beyond the many spirited volunteers, many local businesses and organizations are assisting us with materials, props, food, and funds. Because of their support, we are able to invite the kids of Mount Washington Valley and beyond to Halloween Town without charging any admission fee.
Do we need money to enjoy Halloween Town…?
As mentioned above, thanks to the support we have received from the community, there will be NO Admission Fee for this event. We want the kids to come and enjoy! There will, however, be opportunities to spend money at Halloween Town.
The Food Court will be open starting at 3:00PM – lots of yummy options to consider. There may be souvenir items for sale. Tethered Hot Air Balloon Rides and Amusement Rides (Dizzy Dragon) will require purchase of a ticket. Remember – all proceeds from sales will benefit the Laura Foundation.
There will also be opportunities at Halloween Town to make personal donations directly to the Foundation. We hope you will appreciate and enjoy this event so much that you will consider making a voluntary contribution. We can use all the support we can get – please consider helping us out.
It is our hope that Halloween Town will offer kids a safe and entertaining way to enjoy the holiday… and that it will continue to be an annual tradition in the valley. If you have further questions, feel free to contact me at Halloween Town Headquarters: 603-367-4010.

NFPA 13: Installation of Sprinkler Systems and Handbook Set, 1999 Edition
|Item # 13SET99
NFPA 13: Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems is the first one-stop source for sprinkler installation and design.
For more than 100 years, NFPA 13 had provided the fire protection community with life-saving information about proper sprinkler design and installation. Now, in this new expanded edition of the first NFPA® standard, you'll find sprinkler-related requirements from more than 40 NFPA documents!
Centralized sprinkler data allows for better application and enforcement of guidelines!
With technical advances sweeping the industry, it makes perfect sense to have a one-stop resource for sprinkler rules...one that addresses all types of fire hazards. The new NFPA 13 does just that, combining:
- Major portions of text from storage documents such as NFPA 231C: Rack Storage of Materials and NFPA 231: General Storage
- Extracts or references to sprinkler requirements from scores of documents throughout the NFPA system, such as NFPA 99: Standard for Health Care Facilities and NFPA 101®: Life Safety Code®
- Updates in sprinkler installation criteria, size guidelines, separation requirements, and more!
The Handbook answers your questions -- with new commentary, more illustrations, and a super format!
There's never been a more vital Automatic Sprinkler Systems Handbook. Entire chapters of first-time commentary, an invaluable cross-reference to documents found in the new NFPA 13, and user-friendly features are only the beginning. Start the next cycle right, and save 15%! (Softbound Standard, 311 pp.; Hardbound Handbook, 1,042 pp., 1999)

Its unfortunate that baby bedding is such a high ticket item and so dangerous, also. Crib quilts and bumper pads put infants at a higher risk of Sudden Infant Death due to suffocation or entanglement issues. A baby crib should only conatin an approved crib mattress, an approved crib mattress sheet, and a light blanket that can be tucked in three sides of the crib mattress. No pillows, comforters, bumper pads, toys.
I love Serena and Liy! They make the cutest bedding!

What Happened at COP15
As BSR predicted, COP15 came down to hard bargaining between the United States and China, and the event materialized as much less of an end to climate policy than as a beginning. This turned out to be an understatement: no binding commitment was reached, and it is increasingly clear that an effective agreement will take much more than simply another meeting.
In terms of progress, views are mixed. Some have called it a complete failure. That is because leaders have been working on the issue for two decades and have had two years since Bali, where they agreed to develop firm action plans. Yet, at Copenhagen, nothing concrete or enforceable was produced; rather, negotiators simply agreed to have more talks, a result which the UN "took note" of—that is, acknowledged symbolically weakly.
Also, the process leading to that point was rather undiplomatic. A deal (the Copenhagen Accord) was rammed through by a few countries—notably the United States and China—without real involvement by the G77 or the EU in crafting it. This subverted the regular UN process while passing over details on critical issues like forestry and carbon markets.
On the other hand, there weren't any surprises. In the time leading up to Copenhagen, it became clear that such a complex undertaking would require more than one event. That is due in part to the fact that U.S. President Obama cannot act unilaterally on behalf of his government, no matter how ambitious he may be.
The fact that there were no real walkouts or other disasters, and that a foundational political agreement was developed, shows that there was real progress forward. Moreover, Copenhagen proved that climate change has not only become a mainstream agenda item, but that it has become one of the most important political movements in history, with more than 100 heads of state involved (at Kyoto, there was only one there, and it represented the hosts).
On balance, it is disappointing that Copenhagen did not produce more needed clarity and predictability to encourage companies to invest in low-carbon energy, agriculture, and emissions markets. But perhaps there will be a method to this madness. There is still time to act, and we have the ability to ratchet up commitments once it is understood how these commitments contribute to jobs and investment opportunities. Also, for better or for worse, it appears that Copenhagen will spawn negotiations and forums among smaller numbers of large countries (such as the G-20), to expedite progress. This will likely increase opportunities for businesses to contribute in progressive ways.
As for next steps, Al Gore—someone who arguably has more insight into these negotiations than anybody—offers two things: First, why not keep up the momentum and hold COP16 in Mexico City in July 2010 rather than November? Second, says Gore, "The key to success remains as it has always been: to convince people one by one, person by person, family by family, community by community, of the need for the present generation to accept and understand the obligation we have for the future of humanity, to take the steps necessary in our time to safeguard their future." Gore is referring to grassroots communication. Keep that in mind as the U.S. Senate debates American legislation—which will be key to building (or losing support for) multilateral commitments—this winter.

Americans continue to have serious doubts about their retirement security, Associated Press reports.
Are you one of them?
The percentage of workers who said they're "not at all" confident about having enough money for a comfortable retirement grew to 27 percent from 22 percent in 2010, according to an annual survey released Tuesday, AP writes.
That's the highest level in the 21-year history of the Retirement Confidence Survey, conducted by the nonpartisan Employee Benefit Research Institute and market researcher Mathew Greenwald & Associates, AP reports.
All told, half of all workers seriously question whether they'll have enough money for retirement, AP writes. That's because another 23 percent said they are "not too confident" about whether their savings will be adequate.
Do you think you'll have enough?
What is your game plan? Work longer? Save until it hurts — and then save some more? Hit the lottery (that hasn't worked for me)?

Their expectations are based on false assumptions and projections. The key is to downsize and stop wasting precious resources. This old Earth only has so many to give. And get rid of the pets or they will continue to run your life and ruin your retirement.

Can't rely on social security or anyone else to take care of me so aside from my savings and stashing monies into my 401k, I'm looking into buying (select) rental/commercial properties that will hopefully lead to a perpetual income stream. Due to living well under my means I think I'll be fine even if I don't secure investment properties. However, if get married that would be a game changer….unless my wife thinks and acts as I do.

Depends alot on Obamacare – the plan will make many doctors drop Medicare because of the reduction in pay they will receive. Medical uncertainty is my greatest concern. It all remains on how healthy I remain and how long I hang around on this planet.
March 16th, 2011

I've been doing without since I graduated college and got my first real job so I can contribute the max to my 401k and IRA… so I am comfortable. However, I wonder if my taxes will go up upon retirement to pay for those who have not planned accordingly.

I didn't put much thought into retirement at the age 18 but I've seem to have made the right decisions. I entered the military and retired after 26 years. Now I'm in civil service and I'll retire from that at age 62. I'm looking at 3 checks totaling around 60K once I retire again. I think I'm set. I didn't mean for it to turn out like this but it did. I can only credit God for getting me to this point. The military took me all over the world and God looked after me and protected me. Now I'm doing basically the same job just in a safer environment thanks again to the good lord. You might say I'm lucky but I just think I'm blessed. Trust the lord with your future and follow his path. You won't have any problems.

I would bet if they surveyed those that are saving 10-15% for retirement the response would be much different.

The government is required to provide for my retirement. I am entitled to it. I can't save any money and still live in this big house, drive this new car, and eat out every night. I'm an American and I'm entitled to that.

TNGelding is right on. The key many seem to forget sometimes is its more about living modesty and making saving a priority before the latest wants. Its amazing how powerful this is no matter if you make $35k or $150k.

I'm 60, and while I've saved for retirement, I've never done without something I wanted, or wanted to do. My wife and I traveled extensively with our children – often at the expense of saving for retirement – and always found a way to do the things others said they couldn't afford. We still share memories of those trips, of movies, of theme parks, of just living life. Those experiences and memories are irreplaceable and were worth every dime.
My goal now is to be so tired of going, doing, traveling, and experiencing the world that by the time I'm 70, playing a little golf, working a part time job, and staying home would be a welcome relief.
We've never regretted our choices, and never will. We were told more than once by 'advisers' that we were on a path to ruin. But if the life we shared with our children means I have to work until I'm 90, so be it.
Besides, who wants to stay home or live with a bunch of geezers? I'm now able to save about a fourth of my income for 'retirement' and we'll be just fine. I will have pension checks of about $2,500, Social Security, and my 401K as of now is $250K and growing rapidly. If that's not enough, put me in a corner somewhere with a black and white TV and I'll watch Price is Right everyday.
Miss out a on a trip to Disney with kids to put back $2,000 for retirement? No way! Go and enjoy it! You are not guaranteed a day on this earth.
Remember: money you spend on your family and children is never a mistake!
That's our path, and I'm sure others will think I'm crazy, but we don't.

By the way, we're planning to cut back pension contributions next year and do a 3-week trip to Australia. May as well do it while we're young!

That is awesome @-unvrknow. I am 23, starting a new career and hope to follow in those foot-steps. Money will buy you a new home and retirement status, but the memories and being with the ones you love along the way are truly prices.

If you mean Social Security, it's coming from me as much as anyone. I've maxed out on Social Security for the past 15 years, and will this year and next at least. I've been paying SS was 15, so I don't think I'm using any of your money.
My pensions are from private companies, not public. And the 401K is mine.
I'm not the problem; the problem is people who fret too much about how they're going to die, rather than how they're going to live.

True, life is for the living, but we're all going to have to face the Grim Reaper sooner or later. And we need to die with dignity and save our families and governments huge, unnecessary expenses. I was feeling a little sorry for myself yesterday. It gets you down after a little while.

Doubt I'll ever be able to fully retire, but I'll be satisfied with a nest egg that at least allows me to scale-back from a profoit-oriented enterprise to working part-time for a non-profit that makes a difference for people or the environment. I don't want the legacy of a career trying to make the world a better place being squandered by following it with a decade or more knocking little balls around a fairway.

The mailer address and sent by fields are really though to forge...
Those are trivial to forge. It is harder to hide the real source of an email as reported by received headers. But spammers do forge those as well in an attempt to obfuscate the source. Then it becomes a game of tracing back the mail handlers that you (think you) can trust and stopping where the trail becomes questionable. I hazard to guess that a relatively small percentage of people know to do this much less realize it's possible. And even then, it requires some technical knowledge to understand what one is reading and where the trail becomes bogus. The general rule of thumb is that unencrypted email is less trustworthy than a postcard.

RDJ is a great Tony Stark. story is good. hopefully Rhodes will be played by Cheadle next time. I hate when they change main characters throughout the series.
We really enjoy this movie and with the regular DVD we have a gift to give our kids. It got lost in the mail; but, customer service was great. It was here on the date they said it would be.
Just loved getting this movie a day before everyone else!!!! Love all of RD Jrs movies, he is soooo fine, and getting a great movie for the very best price available from OS is the best. I find that I am buying more and more from OS in every area that I need, now I can purchase new releases from OS and know that what I am getting is top notch and I rec. it in a very timely manner. Great Job OS!!

lol that Moomoo and her face.
My big boy kitten, being a blanket monster!
This little baby Sugarbush.
Burrito moo.
Kitty staring intensifies! #catsofinstagram #cute #cats #kitten
No neck Sugarbush! Haha I love our kitties.
This was meant to be a quick warm up, but it turned into a comic that I've wanted to draw for a while. This is something that is extremely important to me, and I appreciate it if you read it.
A while ago, I heard a story that broke my heart. A family went a cat shelter to adopt. The daughter fell in love with a 3-legged cat. The father straight up said "absolutely not". Because he was missing a leg. That cat was that close to having a family that loved him, but the missing leg held him back. Why?!
Many people have the initial instinct of "nope" when they see an imperfect animal. I get it, but less-adoptable does NOT mean less loveable. 9 out of 10 people will choose a kitten over an adult cat. And those 10% that would get an adult cat often overlook "different" animals.
All I want people to do is be open to the idea of having a "different" pet in their lives. Choose the pet that you fall in love with, but at least give all of them a fair shot at winning your heart.
Don't dismiss them, they deserve a loving home just as much as any other cat. They still purr, they still love a warm lap, they still play, they still love you. Trust me, next time you are in the market for a new kitty, just go over to that one cat that's missing an eye and see what he's all about!
From someone who adopted a 'broken' cat abandoned by his previous owner, who was at the shelter for more than 3 months, because he was labelled as 'unaffectionate' and 'bad with children' (when he just doesn't want to be picked up). He is the most loyal, loving, and cutest cat ever. A cat who's only gotten happier as he got older, and who has enriched my life SO MUCH. I never forget what he was like when I met him. He was miserable, shy, and scared of the world.
I am just glad that he is happy now. Give one the chance to be happy with you!
Who am I kidding, I just wanna yell at anyone who'll listen about how much I love my cat.
Our two special one-eyed boys:
I like this picture I took of our Moomoo.

Home > EARLYTHEATRE > Vol. 15 > Iss. 1 (2012)
To expand our knowledge of women's contributions to ballet de cour, this essay presents the first scholarly edition of a previously overlooked eye-witness account of Marie de Medici's 1605 ballet de la reine. Offering a transcription of the document and an English translation with annotations, the essay helps to settle basic questions of performance history and makes available a wealth of new evidence regarding specific visual iconographies, choreographed dances, musical innovations, and elements of audience response. Such evidence in turn challenges previous assumptions regarding an exclusively decorous and elevated tone for women's court ballet of the early seventeenth century and indicates Marie de Medici's active integration of 'living, breathing luxury items' such as dwarfs and foreign women singers into ballet de cour. In addition, the mansucript and its provenance testify to this ballet's ultimate significance for its contemporaries as a ceremonial staging of political rule.

BRISTOL, Conn. -- Gonzaga's Courtney Vandersloot and Spokane native Angie Bjorklund were both selected by the Chicago Sky in Monday's WNBA Draft.
Vandersloot was the third overall selection in the draft. She was picked behind Connecticut's Maya Moore (Minnesota Lynx) and Australian Elizabeth Cambage (Tulsa Shock). Vandersloot becomes only the second player in Gonzaga history selected in the WNBA Draft. The only other Bulldog drafted was Vivian Frieson in the third round of last year's draft.
"There are so many emotions going through me right now," stated Vandersloot after she was selected. "Corny as it sounds, this is a dream come true. I am excited to play for Chicago."
Bjorklund, who just wrapped up a stellar career at the University of Tennessee, was picked in the second round (17th overall) by Chicago. The University High School product is the Lady Vols' all-time leader in three pointers, nailing 305 buckets beyond the arc in her career.
"It's definitely exciting," Bjorklund told GoVolsXtra.com. "The waiting and suspense was tough, but Chicago is a great city and that is a great team. It doesn't end here either. I've been working out really hard and hopefully I will be able to make the team. I now know where I'm going, and I have a goal to work toward."
Vandersloot and Bjorklund already know each other. Angie's sister Jami played with Vandersloot at Gonzaga, so the two have become close over the years.
Stay tuned to KREM 2 News and KREM.com for much more on the WNBA Draft.

Nope he doesn't, poor kid lost his mother long ago, he was raised by his dad & grandparents
I was shocked when I first found out, but the more I saw of him the more I realized how it affected him. He's pretty sensitive & childish, we always talk about how he acts like he's 5, but I think its involuntarily because a big part deep inside of him still longs for the past, when he was a kid & his mother was around.
The same thing goes for Taehun, he lost both his parents at an early age, so he still clings onto being an innocent, pure person who just wants to be taken care of, just like back when he still had his parents.
I think their innocence is so precious, yet it saddens me because of the circumstances that lead to this side of their personality.

Truphone becomes a true phone
Mobile-VoIP operator Truphone has expanded its offering with the launch of Truphone Anywhere, giving users access to their Truphone minutes from the cellular network. Truphone offers cheap calls for Wi-Fi handsets when they're on the data network, but from tomorrow the Anywhere version of the company's downloadable software will …
... all this is is now making the Truephone network available over a telephone number, in addition to a 3G data connection and Wifi. It does mean that now people who don't have a 3G data plan or wifi available can use it, although they would be advised to get a package that includes inclusive minutes for local numbers if they don't want to be charged twice.
But if you've got an inclusive package for minutes why...never mind I'm sure there is a use for this service somewhere.
WiFi is still normally lower cost in the medium term
Several things:
3's Skype handsets only allow Skype to Skype calls, whereas Truphone allows calls to any telephone.
It is true that a given outbound call will often be the same marginal cost for a customer in the short term whether placed over WiFi or using bundled cellular minutes for network access via Truphone Anywhere, but that ignores the medium term opportunity of reducing the bundle size (and paying a lower monthly fee). Also, WiFi is typically much cheaper when travelling abroad. Truphone gives customers two good options, which work well together.
Truphone inbound via WiFi is useful for customers to make free Truphone to Truphone calls, for people who pay for inbound calls, and for those who don't have good cellular coverage. Truphone only makes a very small amount of revenue from inbound calls however, so giving customers more ways to save money on outbound calls is economically more significant.
Still not practical though...
I gave truphone a try, mainly because the launch offer included free calls to UK land lines and about 40 other countries. So, using my home broadband, the calls were effectively free. I was very impressed with the call quality - a lot better than skype for example plus the convenience of integration with my handset - but there was one huge flaw in the plan. With WiFi in use, my phone's battery lasted about 30 mins and I usually get pretty good life out of it. Yes, since I was using it from home I could keep it on charge, but out-and-about it renders the service useless...

The Braves didn't waste any time signing their top pick from this week's draft, signing McKinney (Texas) High School shortstop Matt Lipka to an $800,000 bonus.
The amount was right at Major League Baseball's slot recommendations for the supplemental first round pick, taken No. 35 overall. The Braves announced Thursday that they had signed both Lipka and seventh round pick Matthew Suschak, a right-hander from the University of Toledo.
Lipka will report to the Braves complex in Orlando on Monday to prepare to play for the Gulf Coast Braves rookie league team. Suschak will report to the Danville (Va.) Braves rookie league team.
"It's exiting to be drafted and then (to sign), it hits you even more," said Lipka, who made signing early a priority. "Especially coming in as a high school shortstop, I want to learn the system and get reps with the wood bat."

This is really great news. A kid out of high school who was going to play college football for the Crimson Tide of Alabama University decides to go pro in Atlanta Braves Baseball. This is great that he has roots to the state of Georgia and the Deep South. This is the prototypical kind of player teams have to go out after.
Next to the list Todd Cunningham, and Andrelton Simmons as first trio to sign then they go after my ex-rival pitcher from high school, Evan Danieli the kid out of Seton Hall Prep who pitched with Nick Christiani (Vanderbilt University), Rick Porcello (Detroit Tigers).

The Reds completed their series against the Angels Thursday.
Joey Votto had one single with 10 at-bats and Jay Bruce hit one double in 13 at-bats with seven strikeouts.
Even with Cincinnati's top run producers struggling to connect the Reds managed to pull off a win.
Choo homered off Blanton's first pitch then Frazier bombed one to left in the bottom of the second giving the Reds a quick 2-0 lead.
Josh Hamilton of the Angels evened up the score with a 2-run single to center in the top of the third.
Then Chris Heisley hit a two-run shot in the 5th putting the Reds up 5-3.
The Angels scored once more in the 7th but not enough as Cincinnati beat the Los Angeles Angels 5-4.

Are Vacancy Rates on the Rise in Yellowknife?
Search Blog Posts
Blog Archives
As most Yellowknife renters know, the apartment vacancy rate in our city tends to be very low. In the spring of 2011 it dipped as low as 0.7%. It real terms this meant that of the 2,119 rental apartments and town houses in Yellowknife, only 14 were vacant at the time of the spring 2011 survey by the Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation (CMHC). For aspiring renters this meant fierce competition for the few vacant spaces. It also meant rents were likely to keep rising.
(Source: CMHC Rental Market Statistics)
For condo developers it meant something entirely different; with a vacancy rate near 1% since early in 2010, they were receiving a strong signal that the time was right to build. And build they did. Highstreet Ventures, a Western Canadian condominium developer, negotiated the purchase of a piece of land at the top of School Draw Avenue and built 120 apartment-style, villa and town house units. The project, named Copper Sky, is just a stone's throw away from one of Yellowknife's most beloved green spaces, Tin Can Hill. The units quickly sold out and Highstreet began making plans for their second Yellowknife project, Niven Heights. With an equal number of units, and an equally impressive location, Niven Heights seems to be meeting with the same success as Copper Sky.
To put the importance of these two projects in perspective, let's revisit the statistics for a brief moment. With 2103 apartment and townhouse units in the entire city (Fall 2011), 1% of vacancy represents 21.03 units. 240 new condo units, if they were to draw buyers directly from the existing pool of renters, would boost the vacancy rate by 11.4%.
Of course, that's not exactly the way the rental market works. Yes, some of the condos were undoubtedly purchased by renters who will be vacating their units, but there are many other sources of condo buyers: young adults moving out of their parents' homes, people moving to Yellowknife for the first time, and folks who were co-locating with other renters waiting to buy a space of their own. It could be that the available condos will be snapped up from sources like these without raising the vacancy rate for long, as was the case in 2009 following the addition of 135 units to the rental market.
But 240 units in two years is bound to have an impact. And of course, Highstreet Ventures is not the only developer in town - there are several other projects underway. Northern Property REIT should be starting construction of their 28-unit apartment building this summer. And two new local developers, Toro Ventures and Redcliff Developments are close to completing 24 condos and apartments between them. With several other smaller projects around town, the number of new units tops 300 in just over two years.
And there are more to come. The City is currently in the process of negotiating the purchase of the long-dormant Bayview Estates land on Niven Drive (City Aims to Purchase Bayview Estates, Simon Whitehouse, Northern News Services, March 23, 2012). Bayview estates can accommodate more than 100 units. And given the stunning views of Great Slave Lake and Old Town from the Bayview property, it's hard to imagine that it will stay undeveloped for long.
In a city that has been known for wild swings in land development, it certainly seems as though things have swung back towards rapid growth.
What does all this mean for Yellowknife homeowners? For those in detached homes, it likely won't make much of a difference; the vast majority of the units under construction are two-bedroom condominiums. But for those who own Yellowknife condos, the new projects signal a tide change. The vacancy rate is about to ease substantially and renters will have more options than they have had in years. For the first time in a long time, the Yellowknife condo market will move from a strong seller's market to a more balanced one.
Corrections: Copper Sky has 81 units, not 120, and Niven Heights has 118. I also failed to take in to consideration the possibility that some Niven Heights town house purchasers are down-sizing from single-family homes. This could lead to an increase of single-family-homes listings this summer as folks prepare to move in to their new town houses.

With just days until the big game, football fans here in New Jersey are fired up, but not because of their team spirit.
"It's dumb. It should be a New Jersey SSuper bowlbecause the stadium is in New Jersey," said one local fan.
"I feel like we're looked down upon because we're New Jersey, not New York, with all that glamour and stuff. We're down here in New Jersey," said another.
The Super Bowl is the biggest television event of the year, and with ggame dayapproaching, more and more fans are flocking to East Rutherford, but locals aren't sure if New Jersey will see any of those tourism dollars.
"Nobody knows North Jersey," said one South Jersey man. "They know New York so that's where mostly everybody's gonna be staying. They might wander down here towards Atlantic City but mostly they'll be up in the New York area."
"I think it's gonna benefit everybody, but I think we're talking semantics here, whether it's New York or New Jersey," said another spectator.
One person doing more than talking semantic is Governor Christie, who reminded the media Monday that the Meadowlands are in New Jersey.
And while the fans we spoke with are sure of where the game is, they aren't as sure of how it will end.
For that they'll have to wait until Sunday.

Queen of the MatchyWe've all seen matchy-matchy families, most often standing in line at Disneyland or posing for photos on the beach.
But I'm betting you've never seen anything as matchy as this mom I spotted yesterday.
Woman? I dub thee Queen of the Matchy!
I personally have a love-hate relationship with the matchy-matchy.
I want to hate it, but have to admit my kids would probably LOVE it if the three of us had matching outfits. And certain matchy-matchy parent/child catalogs I receive in the mail have me rethinking the idea.
Check out a few matchy-matchy looks I love -- and see a photo of my own personal run-in with the matchy (courtesy of my mom, of course!) after the jump ...
This is about as matchy as I've ever gotten, and even then, it was only because it all was purchased by my mom a couple of summers ago. It is cute, I have to admit -- particularly the matching dress my daughter's doll is wearing. You can read my personal matchy story here.
What really makes me rethink the matchy, though, is one of my favorite catalogs around -- Hanna Andersson. It features matchy-matchy clothing for the whole family, but it looks so cute and comfortable that it's hard not to get swept up in the Hanna fantasy (Hanntasy?) and order matching clothing for us to wear every single day of the week.
See what I mean? I love this look, particularly for summer. And my daughter would, too.
Okay, so this is maybe taking things a bit far ...
So, ladies -- what do you think about the matchy-matchy look? How far will you go with it? Is it totally cute? Or totally tacky?
Images (top to bottom): Lindsay Ferrier; Lindsay Ferrier; HannaAndersson.com; HannaAndersson.com; HannaAndersson.com
That first picture is HORRENDOUS! Though, you know, if your kid gets lost, all you have to say is, "They're wearing a gaudy, awful shirt just like this one!"
Having matching outfits is ok if your having pictures done but not all of the time. Instead of matching the same outfits find another outift with smialr colors or patterns. Some of these pictures are cute but some are way over the top.
My mom did this to me one Easter when I was 4. It's cute to see the pic. I would never do it to my kids. I dress them to stand out when we go into a crowd. Usually Neon Orange or Pink. But I don't dress like them.
All I can think looking at that first pic is --- the fabric must've been on sale at Wal-Wart.
I can't stant matchy-matchy families. The closest I ever got was a family portrait of all of wearing jeans and cream cable-knit sweaters. All different, but similar. One of the sweaters (that was the inspiration) was knitted by my grandmother and I wore it as a little girl.
I think I like co-ordinated outfits rather than matching ones. Colors that are complimentary or similar look nice. Matching prints...I'm not sold on them just yet!
my father buys all 4 of us the old navy flag shirts for the forth of july every year but in different colors. some days they want to wear a tie dye or something that i'm wearing so i let them but i would never force us all to match... the bathing suits is going too far in my opinion.
absolutely love the dresses in the hannah ad :)
I think it's sweet when kids are little! Not full on, gawdy home-sewn monstrosities like the pic you snapped, though!
I'll admit to thinking about my family's outfits as a whole when I know we're going to be photographed (i.e., pretty much every day, if I have anything to do with it), but I try to stick to "outfits that won't clash with each other." So, matchy? NO. Coordinating in a non-offensive way? Yes.
My husband absolutely has a conniption if we are dressed even in the same color family. He'll actually change, unless he called dibs on the color first (which is a rarity). I think that being coordinated is sooo different from being matchy matchy. In your picture y'all were nicely coordinated without being over the top. Now the doll and the daughter matching? SO CUTE. Totally okay, in my opinion. :)
I think that the woman should never ever ever wear something like that but I still think its cute
