While many fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs are hoping the team can land a big centre, head coach Randy Carlyle believes they may have already done that.
Carlyle told The Toronto Sun on Thursday that he is interested in seeing forward James van Riemsdyk - acquired from the Philadelphia Flyers last month - try to work down the middle.
"He's a big man and we're going to try him playing in the middle for us," Carlyle told The Sun on Thursday. "It's always nice to have a 6-foot-plus centre in your top six. We feel there is an opportunity to explore him at centre.
"I have talked to him and he has asked for some video work."
Van Riemsdyk, who came to Toronto in a swap for defenceman Luke Schenn, played at centre with the University of New Hampshire and at the U.S. Under-18 Program but was put on the wing in three seasons with the Flyers. Should van Riemsdyk be put at centre when training camp opens, he would join fellow newcomer Jay McClement, Tim Connolly, Mikhail Grabovski, Tyler Bozak, David Steckel and Matthew Lombardi in a competition for spots.
Van Riemsdyk, who missed significant time last season with a broken left foot, had 11 goals and 13 assists in 43 games for the Flyers.
Files from The Toronto Sun were used for this report.

MELBOURNE -- One of the most anticipated cultural events of the year has arrived.
The 17th annual Indiafest will be held at the Wickham Pavilion in Melbourne from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, March 9, and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 10.
Celebrating 100 years of the captivating cinema, known as "Bollywood", this year's theme is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
"The Indian cinema industry is considered the largest movie industry in the world, producing more movies than Hollywood each year," said Nina Gadodia, chairwoman and founder of Indiafest. "The industry has changed considerably through its 100-year existence."
Indiafest is a volunteer-operated, nonprofit cultural organization known for its charitable efforts to several local charities, including parent organization, Manav Mandir.
"This year, the organization has selected Sentinels of Freedom as the special charity," Mrs. Gadodia said in a press release.
"We chose Sentinels of Freedom after seeing the need to help out our returning heroes, as they rehabilitate in the society," Mrs. Gadodia said.
Those who are attending Indiafest for the first time can expect a wide range of entertainment.
"There will be many booths run by Florida's finest Indian restaurants, serving an array of Indian cuisine," Mrs. Gadodia said. "There will also be vendors from around the country selling Sarris, other Indian clothing, fine and costume jewelry, and hand-crafted and home décor artifacts of India."
A "Discover India" booth will exhibit artifacts and history of "100 Years of Indian Cinema," with a theatre presenting the history of Bollywood.
"Dances and musical performances, as well as the signature fashions show, will be alive with the beats of Bollywood on both days," Mrs. Gadodia added.
Fun for the whole family, Indiafest also has a youth activity booth, educating and entertaining children with hands-on activities, including movie-making workshops.
With an appeal to many walks of life, Indiafest strives to bring people together.
"This is a community-based organization which promotes multiculturalism and a healthy coexistence," Mrs. Gadodia said. "We encourage our community and all ethnic backgrounds to come learn the dances and then perform them together."
Indiafest will be at Wickham Park Pavilion, on Saturday, March 9, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, March 10, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tickets are $5 for adults, $2 for children ages 6-12, with free admission for children 5 and younger.

CAMBRIDGE, Md. - As the matriarch of her family, Valerie Ross Manokey lives her life clinging to the legacy of her relative Harriet Tubman.
"She's back home and we're celebrating," said Manokey. "I honor her everyday."
Through times of adversity, she remembers a message she learned from the famed leader of the Underground Railroad.Manokey says that "fear comes, but you have to learn to fight it and keep going." Descendants of Tubman and Cambridge community members kicked off Black History Month and the Harriet Tubman Centennial with a wreath laying at the Tubman Memorial Garden. For them, it's a celebration of the life of a woman in her hometown who was far more than what people know."She was about working towards making everybody's life better, so she was not a selfish person," said Jacqueline Henry, a relative of Tubman."Harriet [Tubman] is that role model that I took for myself, a woman who was determined who had obstacles put in her way," said Cambridge mayor Victoria Jackson-Stanley. "But she kept going because she knew it was the right thing to do for her community."
For Manokey's family, Tubman's fight for freedom lives on through their stories. She tells a tale of a when Tubman's injury after being hit in the head.
"He says to Harriet in a soft voice, 'it's time to sleep' and he puts her to sleep and after he knows that she's ready to start her journey again, he awakes her and they go on their way."
Throughout the year, Dorchester and Caroline Counties will be celebrating Harriet Tubman with a number of events. For more details, click here.

Location: Toma Cafe
Calle La Palma 49, 28004
Madrid, Spain
It was 5 September 2011. Bruce and I had a 24 hour stop in Madrid on his Birthday. Our friend Miguel took us on a special birthday tour around hip and artsy city. Naturally we had to hit the hippest neighborhood in Madrid, Malasaña. This hood is famous for its progressive alternative culture. Instantly I was reminded of "The Mission" in San Francisco. Miguel didn't drink coffee, so he didn't know the best cafe's in town, but I knew there had to be a good barista near by. Sure enough as we walked down Calle de la Palma we found Toma Cafe.
Toma Cafe was our hidden gem in Madrid. Finding good specialty coffee is a hard task. Really the leaders in this movement are the Australians – Melbourne in particular. Spain for example, doesn't have specialty coffee on every corner. Notice, I've used the words "Specialty Coffee," there are a lot of good coffee places all through europe, but not all are "Specialty Coffee."
On the menu was coffee from Ethiopia, Rwanda, Ecuador, etc. My order was an espresso "ristretto" double, a short-poured espresso with a double basket of espresso coffee. Delicious and a definite wake up to the day. I couldn't have been happier. Now Bruce didn't only get an early beer for his birthday celebration, he also got an espresso.
Before we left Toma Cafe I had to tell them that we were going to return to Madrid in November…
Now that we are back in Madrid I was able to go back and enjoy more espresso from my favorite cafe in madrid. Naturally I had to pass this along to all my coffee lover friends who love OH. Here's a little video OH produced showcasing the cafe:
All the Coffee in the "Coffee" section of OH are dedicated to those fans. If you love good coffee and have trouble finding good coffee around the world, OH Coffee will have our recommendations from the places we've been. Real coffee hunters searching for Specialty Coffee.

As part of a heart-healthy diet, eat food low in sodium, cholesterol, and saturated and trans fats, keeping total fats to between 25 and 35 percent of your total daily calories. The bulk of your nutrition while on this plan should consist of consumption of food from plant-based sources, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, along with plenty of seafood and other types of lean protein, including low-fat meat and chicken. Seafood and shrimp are especially important for consideration as part of a heart-healthy diet due to their content of omega-3 fat, which is a type of fat that is effective in lowering blood pressure and triglyceride levels and effective in the prevention of cardiac disease, according to information from the Mayo Clinic. Do not worry too much about the cholesterol content of shrimp because a study published in 1996 in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" found that consumption of shrimp does not raise overall cholesterol levels, despite its high cholesterol content. The American Heart Association recommends that you consume fish at least twice a week, but there is nothing stopping you from aiming to consume at least one serving of shrimp per day, especially considering that, according to information from Yahoo Health, shrimp is a type of seafood that is particularly low in mercury.
Shrimp & a Heart Healthy Diet
Eating a heart-healthy diet is a good idea for anyone, regardless of whether or not a higher risk for cardiac conditions has been designated. A heart-healthy diet is a natural diet solution that can help you to deal with and prevent cardiac conditions, ranging from high blood pressure to heart attack to stroke. The crux of a heart-healthy diet is sticking to consumption of plant-based foods and other items, such as seafood that can help decrease your risk factors for disease. Shrimp is a quality, low-mercury choice for inclusion in the seafood-friendly, heart-healthy diet.
Heart-Healthy Diet
Limiting Sodium and Cholesterol
Limit your consumption of sodium to no more than 2,000mg per day and your consumption of cholesterol to no more than 300mg per day while following a heart-healthy diet. Check the nutritional information for all the food you eat throughout each day, keeping a running tally on a pad of paper regarding your cholesterol and sodium intake so you do not inadvertently stray over your limit. Eventually, you will settle into a routine in which you find food and a combination of food that allows you to remain under your sodium and cholesterol ceiling without having to write each item down, but you should get in the habit of doing so at first to ensure that you don't stray from the precepts of a heart-healthy diet. You might need to invest in a food scale to weigh portions of food properly to ensure accuracy, but the end result will be well worth it when you receive a clean bill of health from your physician.

The nominal group and delphi group each individually rated the indicators via an E-mailed questionnaire. They both had opportunity to comment on the initial results, and those initial results and comments were distributed to the nominal group prior to a series of 3 conference calls. The conference calls were grouped by clinical area, namely diabetes, acute disease, and chronic disease. Summaries from those called were distributed to panels who re-rated the indicators again using an E-mailed questionnaire. Ratings were combined to obtain the final ratings.

Koch Money is responsible for so many of the world's woes.
I've easily found substitutes for all these products, I hope you will consider doing that, too.
They are responsible for funding the Tea Party, and contributing to GOP candidates, in a concerted effort to defeat Democrats, and influence both State and Federal legislatures.
We need to do what we can to not be helping those who act against our best interests. One way to do that is to withdraw our money from their coffers.
How to accomplish this? First off, we need to KNOW which products the Koch Brothers manufacture, so we can Boycott them.
So, first starters, how many Koch Brothers products can you name?
But now, Charles and David Koch have replaced Dick Cheney as the chief villains for many.
For years they have been using their vast fortune, estimated at a combined $44 Billion to help fund Conservative think tanks and politicians.
They have been a primary benefactor for the Tea Party movement, and now they are vowing to spend $88 million going in to the 2012 elections.
They are the very symbol of the unholy alliance between business and state that plagues this country."

Brave New Films Unveils New Documentary Series
The billionaire Koch brothers have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to gain political influence and change America. Their work and spending is driven by the goal of increasing their own profit through decreasing regulations. The expansive and diverse nature of their efforts makes it overwhelming to keep tabs of all they've done that has caused harm. And that's why Brave New Foundation is going to keep connecting the dots and telling the full story of what they've done to our country.
Our work at Brave New Films has always focused on the best way to tell the full story, to connect all the moving pieces and to highlight how one example of a problem in our democracy is always representative of a larger problem. Our producers did this with Outfoxed, where they exposed the unbalanced propaganda that is Fox News. And they did this with Wal-Mart, where they uncovered the damage done to our country by the high cost of low prices. In Iraq For Sale, they exposed the war profiteering and they were on the front line of questioning the reasons for war in Rethink Afghanistan.
With Sick for Profit, they fought against insurance company greed in the battle for health care. And they worked to stop the History Channel from hosting fiction and smearing President Kennedy.
And now we aim our focus at the Koch brothers. With a net worth of $43 billion the Kochs have already spent decades of their lives and over $324 million of their wealth exerting their influence.
The Kochs accomplish their goals by funding a massive array of right wing front groups, think tanks and tea party efforts. They largely operate outside of the public eye, and target their funding to infiltrate public opinion, the media, judicial decisions and legislation.
Over three dozen organizations are funded by the brothers, and they spend additional money lobbying and backing political candidates. Everything the Kochs do is to fight for a country free from protections and any degree of a social safety net for working Americans.
The Kochs are not the only uber-wealthy in America who are using their money to buy political power that will increase their profits, but they are a key example through which to tell this story.
As a starting place of exposing the Kochs, we thought it would be useful to compile a video outlining the top five worst things the Koch brothers have done.

Open the Northern Gate
Dragon Gate USA
Reviewed by Joe Babinsack
There are times when, as a fan, you see a face, see a new body, see a spectacular performance and say, who is THAT!?!
This DVD provides one of those opportunities.
I've heard of PAC, and seen results and watched him in action. At least I am now convincing myself, because after seeing him tear it up in the Tag Team Main Event of Open the Northern Gate, I'm not so sure. There's no way I saw this action, no way I saw that talent on display.
Even his face on the cover was not ringing a bell. I thought for the longest time it was Jon Moxley, but it aint'.
And no disrespect to Mr. Moxley, whom I don't want on my bad side (Jimmy Jacobs can have that unique pleasure), but PAC and Moxley aren't readily confused anymore.
What's more impressive is the company PAC keeps on this show, and his headline status over a troupe of talented wrestlers. Dragon Kid vs Masato Yoshino is the best 2 out of 3 falls culmination to their lengthy (and spectacular) feud. But they don't get the cover. The explosion of Moxley vs Jacobs is a more American based feud, full of potential violence and likely to get crazy good, crazy fast. And the roster is replete with talent, from the CHIKARA crew to CIMA to Naruki Doi vs veteran Masaaki Mochizuki.
But none get the cover, and none are so deserving of it like PAC.
The Tag Team Action match alone has guys that few on the indy scene can truly hang with. BxB Hulk and YAMATO are the yin and yang of Dragon Gate, both pure representatives of the babyface and heel roles, respectively, and yet neither are the sort of painfully obvious modern mainstream version of the same. BxB Hulk's appearance screams for the 18-35 year old demographic to hate him as a more female friendly appeal, with an over-the-top entrance, and a not so tough on the surface look. And yet, what's there to grumble about? He's a Champion, he's been through the top names, and he fights with a passion few others can match.
YAMATO scream of the tweener role of the past decade, heelish, insulting and indifferent. And yet he's able to tweak the fans and make them hate him, and doesn't play that 'I'll get you to like me' approach. Maybe in any other promotion he'd be made a face fast, but it's the core booking approach of Gabe Sapolsky that keeps YAMATO, and BxB Hulk true to their talents.
Who's left in that match, well, it's SHINGO.
The guy who blew most matches out of the water last year in battling Bryan Danielson.
And who shines? Well, the cover boy does. PAC puts on a high-flying display, but at the level of a gymnast, with a solid-packed muscular body, and none of the indecision of a John Morrison. Just look at that cover, and the quasi-demented glare, and you know PAC isn't someone to be messed with.
And in battle, he shows that he is not to be messed with.
No matter the result, this was a display of pure wrestling talent that only comes across in a generation. There are those in Calgary, Alberta, Canada that have seen that happen, and there are those in St. Louis who saw it happened a little more recently, but something tells me that PAC might be more of the lineage of that Dynamite Kid fellow, just because he comes from that same Island.
But in the least, DG USA has a guy that can stand up to comparisons like that, and with Davey Richards entrenched with the competition, there's room for that role here.
I like to pull out my "words cannot describe it" phrase, but really, words cannot describe it when PAC is in action. Even in a match where BxB Hulk pulls out the mouse, and YAMATO pulls out the Gallaria, you get that sudden sense of hey, this is awesome, and then SHINGO catches PAC in mid-air and delivers a Blood Fall or such, and you realize that the timing and speed and execution that is absolutely intrinsic to Dragon Gate's Style, is taken up a notch.
And that's no easy feat.
But the dives, contortions and acrobatics of PAC steal the show, and it seems so effortless. He truly is "The Man that Gravity Forgot" and that moniker is touted by the superb announce crew of Lenny Leonard and "don't call me Leonard, too" CHIKARASON.
What's more on the Open the Northern Gate DVD?
How about that culmination of the Dragon Kid vs Masato Yoshino feud, one that is recapped during the DVD, featuring all the ins and outs and lightning-fast action of these two prototypical Dragon Gate wrestlers?
If you've never seen these two do battle, you don't know what to expect, but the recaps put it in perspective. If you've seen them in battle, the recaps remind you of what you'll encounter later in the DVD. When they do battle … well, once again words can do the two justice, and the speed of the internet isn't fast enough to keep up with them.
Dragon Gate is also into showcasing American Indy Talent, and two matches here are of note.
For one, everyone's crazy newcomer, Jon Moxley, who happens to hold the Full Impact Pro World Title Belt, takes on Ontario favorite Phil Atlas.
I liked Atlas and his look, and he flew high early and got a lot of offense in.
But Moxley is Moxley, and he's rounding out his resume quite quickly. That FIP Belt was held by big names in the business, and he's rolling towards joining them. Plus his feud with the utterly entertaining Jimmy Jacobs is just picking up steam … don't flash forward or turn the DVD off after the main event!
The other showcase has Bolen & Tyson Dux (as in Dukes) taking on Xtremo & Brad Martin. What could have been a routine indy level match justified its positioning and place on this card, and there are some definite characters here. All four come from the Maximum Pro Wrestling group.
Two additional matches – not including the bonus matches of Bryan Danielson vs Matt Sydal (unencumbered by the WWE style), and three home Dragon Gate tag match (in which I love to see the venues and Japanese crowds) – epitomize the Dragon Gate USA promotion.
The mixture of American talent and Japanese veterans shines when CIMA (pronounced Shee-ma) takes on Jimmy Jacobs, and also in the tag team match between CHIKARA's Mike Quackenbush & Jigsaw taking on Gran Akuma (also of CHIKARA) & Akira Tozawa.
Jacobs is one of the most underrated guys in the business, and could put a strong division of like-sized wrestlers on his shoulders. He not only has the talent, but the attitude, the psychology and the effort that puts him at a level above his peers (in this promotion or elsewhere).
CIMA is one of the guys that put Dragon Gate on the map, and he still has it despite his history of injuries. CIMA in the ring is everything that Cena isn't – crisp, confident and commanding.
I'm still amazed that the big ground haven't stolen the Warriors (once Warriors 5) fan interactive double arm lift/grunt, or some variant of the same, because that's the evolution of getting the crowed involved that died with ECW, but lives on in this promotion.
There really are no tag teams like Quackenbush & Jigsaw, and while the CHIKARA style isn't quick to grasp, it's quick to enjoy, and quicker than most, and it's utterly fascinating to watch how the roots of both Dragon Gate and CHIKARA can evolve so differently from a single source.
In an age where getting tired of the jokes and laughing about wrestling is the norm, there's nothing to laugh about and yet everything to enjoy about Dragon Gate USA and the Open the Northern Gate DVD.

Google just released a research paper about tablet behavior. Three points I thought were interesting:
1. Tablets are a middle device - people tend to flip from their tablet to their laptop to their smartphone and expect a seamless transition
—> Seems straightforward, but I rarely (if ever?) see apps designed with this in mind.
2. Tablets are wingmen for TVs
—> Winter is Coming but the emphasis seems more on TV replacements than TV companions.
3. Tablets are cooking companions
—> Yes! I feel less bad about splattering sauce on my iPad now.

The Well (Demo) (Single)
Released: Jun 2007
Label: Virgin Records
On the demo for this quiet album cut, Alison Sodul contemplates discovering that the well of love has run dry, using many heavy metaphors. With any luck, the album will treat the simple tune with the simplicity here, supporting Sodul's after-hours alto with little more than the block chords of a simple piano part.

Your Oasis in the Home
We talk a lot about baby space and kid space, but we're curious- is there a spot in your house that is still just yours? A place you go to meditate or focus in the morning, or close your eyes at the end of a long day? Ours is just a lone rocking chair in front of the bay window of our brownstone. It overlooks a tree full of chirping birds.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is currently investigating a poaching incident in Hyalite Canyon.
F.W.P. said they were called Saturday from someone stating there was a dead cow moose along Moser Creek Road.
They believe the moose was shot Friday night or Saturday morning.
F.W.P. wardens were able to find the dead moose by the cries of its calf nearby.
They said the calf was aggressive, protecting its mother's carcass.
Wardens had to use non-lethal rubber bullets to keep it away from its mother.
F.W.P. said the cow moose was shot twice.
"We brought the cow back to the office here and we did a quick necropsy and indicated she had been shot twice, once in the chest and once in head," said Joe Knarr, F.W.P. warden.
Knarr said this was obviously poaching.
"This is a classic example of poaching," said Knarr. "If you wanted a definition of that, this would be it. This was obviously shot out of season, without a permit and left to rot."
Moose hunting season doesn't open until September 15.
F.W.P. warden Brian Lloyd said poaching is basically stealing.
"Killing and wasting an animal like this is stealing from the people of Montana," said Lloyd. "It's selfish and we take it personally."
It is incidents like that hunters feel give them a bad name.
"Every time I think something like that happens, it reflects poorly on a lot of us hunters that don't really have anything to do with that," said Andy Hessen.
Knarr said poaching is rare, which is why it get the attention when it does happen.
"It's rather uncommon," said Knarr. "We don't see it very often. As a regional wide thing...we've seen it a couple of times over the last couple of years."
F.W.P. said the calf is healthy and is at least a year old. It is expected to survive without its mother.
Anyone with information about this crime is urged to call 800-847-6668.
Callers may remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1000.

New affiliate committments celebrated during 2011 affiliation live-in
At St. Rose Convent during the affiliation live-in, June 16 was the day that seven new affiliates—six covenant and one prayer—celebrated their commitment as lay partners in Franciscan ministry with FSPA. They give this opportunity to introduce themselves and their devotions to the community.
Rose Blank
Spiritual leadership and the supervision of 93 churches and 67 clergy is new covenant affiliate Rose Blank's full-time vocation: She serves as Southeast District Superintendent for the Iowa Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.
Rose was first a teacher with a B.A. in elementary education from the University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, and later a pastoral care specialist with a Master of Divinity from Iowa's University of Dubuque Theological Seminary and certification from the Des Moines Pastoral Counseling Center. Her initial connection to FSPA was with Sister Lucille Winnike in the early 1990s. "She was my spiritual director at Clare's Well in Annandale, Minn.
As the relationship continued and she also became acquainted with the Franciscan Sisters at Prairiewoods Franciscan Spirituality Center in Hiawatha, Iowa, "I experienced their hospitality, their concern for the care of God's wondrous creation and their passion of being in ministry for a more just society," says Rose. "I want to be involved with a group who takes seriously their walk of faith as it relates to how they live in the world around them."
Wife to Jeffrey and mother to three adult children, Jonathan, Sarah and Jeremy, Rose resides in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, works with her contact Sister Joann Gehling and seeks to fulfill a commitment to a group "that helps me to focus and grow in the spiritual practices of my life of discipleship and ministry in the name and spirit of Christ and in the footsteps of Francis."
Barbara Gayle
"I believe my conversations with God are now richer and more gracious and I'm a better person for maintaining a balance in my life that speaks to my soul and my intellect," shares Barbara Gayle about her new FSPA covenant affiliation. "My respect for the Franciscan spirituality that encompasses conscious and continuous prayer, faithfully championing those in need, serving the underserved and maintaining a deep reverence for the Earth," she says, "resonates in my soul."
Barbara's life spent in education, both as a student and a professional, helped to create her core Franciscan values. Her scholarly achievements span from earning an A.A.S. in communication from Lewis & Clark College, Portland, Ore., in 1980 to graduating with a Ph.D. in communication theory, business management, from the University of Oregon in Eugene in 1989.
Her career in Catholic higher education has gone from working as a faculty member and administrator at Oregon's University of Portland, where she met several Franciscan Sisters who were visiting there, to her current position as academic vice president and professor of business at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wis. After organizing a painting party at Viterbo's Murphy Center and meeting several FSPA there she learned a faith-filled lesson—"that doing God's work would indeed be successful. It filled me with awe."
Guided in affiliation by Sister Karen Flottmeier, Barbara is married to Ray, with whom she has two grown children. She volunteers on the La Crosse Boys and Girls Club board of directors, and enjoys sewing and doing academic research.
Deane Hatteberg
With a bachelor's degree in nursing from the University of Minnesota-Minneapolis and a master's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Deane Hatteberg has served the ministry of health care throughout her entire career. In that vocation, Deane has cared for patients in Minnesota at University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview, Rochester Methodist Hospital and also St. Mary's Hospital in Madison, Wis.
Today Deane continues to serve in the mission of medicine as an assistant professor of nursing at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wis.—the place where she came to know FSPA. Through her participation in FSPA-
sponsored events she has found "peace, comfort and support. A community of support," she says, "is important in developing a deeper and more meaningful spiritual life." Nurturing her Franciscan devotion through affiliation, hopes Deane, "will provide the opportunity and the encouragement to grow spiritually."
A resident of La Crosse, Deane was born in Ft. Dodge, Iowa, and grew up in Waltham, Minn. She enjoys activities like reading, knitting, crocheting and singing in a choir in her free time. Sister Marie Kyle serves as Deane's contact.
Michelle (Shelly) Lamb-Vosen
"I feel as though I've been an unofficial affiliate for decades," says Shelly Lamb-Vosen. Shelly's father and his family are native to La Crosse, and both she and her husband Dennis are graduates of La Crosse's Viterbo University (she with a bachelor's in liberal studies). There she met FSPA, many of whom she still counts as friends today. Later in life she engaged her three children in the Franciscan faith community as well.
Now partnered with FSPA as a covenant affiliate (and her contact Sister Carlene Unser), Shelly looks to strengthen those relationships by "finding God in every moment through faith, nature, environment, relationships and how I see myself through this continued journey."
Along the way to affiliation she helped to establish Viterbo's Alumni Association Emeritus Board (on which she and her husband still sit), acted as alumni vice president and achieved the university's award for outstanding service. Shelly has worked for Chileda Institute Inc. (for 27 years), Franciscan Skemp Healthcare (now known as Mayo Clinic Health System-Franciscan Healthcare La Crosse) and Myrick Hixon EcoPark. She also co-chaired the AIDS Quilt Project, ministered to people in Haiti and served on the FSPA planning committee for the March 2000 celebration held to honor Sister Thea Bowman.
Shelly currently volunteers as a substitute teacher for the La Crosse and Onalaska school districts and also at the Franciscan Spirituality Center, Myrick Hixon EcoPark, Children's Museum, The Salvation Army and in hospice care.
Dee Paque
Dee Paque grew up in La Crosse, Wis. She had Sister Bernadette Prochaska as her third grade teacher, was taught by other FSPA at Aquinas High School and has been mentored by Sister Rita Feeney. Having recently joined the affiliation program she reflects on those influences: "I feel a great comfort at St. Rose," she says, "and affiliation was obvious."
The impact of those early relationships most likely supported her throughout her career. Having a bachelor's degree in social work from Illinois State University in Normal, Ill., as well as training in critical incident stress management, Dee worked in adolescent psychology at St. Mary's Hospital in Decatur, Ill., and then at the Trauma and Emergency Center at Gundersen Lutheran in La Crosse.
In her job at Gundersen Lutheran, Dee felt "the spirituality that surrounds people, regardless of their paths. It awakened a desire in me to help others and I believe it to be the Franciscan way." Dee has asserted herself in the Franciscan way in many capacities: she's participated in church committees concerned with social justice and environmental issues, served on the leadership board for AMOS, volunteered at the YWCA and traveled to the Caribbean island of St. Lucia for flood relief.
Now retired and supported in affiliation by her contract, affiliate Sheila Garrity, Dee sees participation in the program as a means to maintain connections to those "who are trying to walk the same path that I yearned to follow." She also has more time to enjoy with her children Kristine and David and her two grandchildren, and also to read, golf and work with stained glass and mosaic tile.
Mary Louise Thompson
"One sunny day," begins FSPA prayer partner and new covenant affiliate Mary Louise Thompson, "I had a chance encounter with Sister Eileen McKenzie. I asked Sister Eileen how to become an affiliate and she grinned, grabbed my hand and literally ran me down to Affiliation Co-Minister Marci Madary's office. My journey," she recalls, "then began."
Mary Louise's professional and spiritual life has led her to support art, food, parish ministry, social justice and animals. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in drawing and painting at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a master's in education from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. An artist residing in La Crosse, Mary Louise gives private art lessons and runs a picture framing business—Froggy Bottoms Framing—out of her home. At the People's Food Co-op she teaches cooking classes for kids.
As an active member of Roncalli Newman Parish, Mary Louise serves as a eucharistic minister and also as a member of the Peace and Social Justice committee. Creating art, writing poetry, praying and sharing stories weekly at the Unity House for Women "has become a form of ministry." She also gives her time to the Coulee Region Humane Society Pet Therapy program and annually participates in a conservation trip to Latin America that "helps protect hundreds of acres of habitat for our birds that migrate to the tropics during the winter."
Craig Thompson is her husband, Sister Blanche Klein is her contact and FSPA affiliation "inspires me to, in the words of Ilia Delio, 'answer the call to be a spiritual mother and sister, together caring for the sacredness of the earth.'"
Linda Wissing
New prayer affiliate Linda Wissing "met the wonderful Franciscan Sisters through a friend who worked in the kitchen at St. Rose Convent in La Crosse 10 years ago. My friendship with Sisters Evelyn Schlosser and Marcella Marie Dreikosen grew and soon I was drawn into the beauty of Franciscan living," she recalls, describing the "serenity" she feels when visiting St. Rose as "amazing."
Linda heard the calling to become a member of FSPA's affiliation program through those relationships and that splendor and peace. "I recognized it through my kinship with the sisters' lifestyle and philosophy, and my desire to enhance and deepen my prayer life. Every time I visit the convent and chapel I feel a strong spiritual connection and calmness that I can utilize in my daily experiences."
A resident of La Crosse who grew up in Milwaukee, Wis., and graduated in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in education from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Linda has had a 35-year career as a licensed alcohol and drug abuse counselor. She has counseled people through her job at Franciscan Skemp Healthcare (now known as Mayo Clinic Health System-Franciscan Healthcare La Crosse), in her own private practice and for Coulee Council on Addictions, Inc. Currently Linda works with those recovering at Unity House for Women.
Music, photography and her dog Jai J round out Linda's life.

Here is an unlabeled version of the map, for those who would rather gawk at the geography & my passable texture work than look at all the roads & towns which are not relevant to you. For those who genuinely are interested in this world, its regions, its places, & its cities, you can check out the campaign setting (Hourglass of Zihaja) that this is based on here.
For the record, there is a deliberate river violation: the two large rivers in the center of the map converge into a small lake, only to split again for a while before finally dumping into the larger lake in the bottom-middle. The explanation for this specific phenomenon can be found here. Suffice to say, it is the result of a cataclysmic weather-changing event a few hundred years ago, which will eventually result in the drying up of one of those two lower riverbeds.
For some reason, I've had trouble uploading images here in the past, & the big map is huge (4,925×4,925 pixels), so click on the thumbnail below to be linked directly to the big map hosted on DeviantArt.

Ghana launches national food fortification program
Accra, 3 October 2007 (GAIN) – Ghana on Wednesday launched its national food fortification program that will fortify vegetable oil with vitamin A, and wheat flour with vitamin A and B, iron and folic acid to improve public health, in particular of children and women.
Major Courage Quashigah (rtd), Minister of Health, opened the launch ceremony.
"Our focus is to encourage health interventions that are highly cost-effective, not only in the case of infectious diseases, but also in the prevention of chronic diseases through providing nutritious foods that have been fortified with vitamins and minerals," said Major Quashigah.
The Minister expressed gratitude to GAIN, UNICEF and all other supporting partners, stressing that the program was a great example of public-private partnership to ensure quality health for all Ghanaians.
"65% of pregnant women, 76% of preschoolers and 41% of women of child bearing age are anemic, and it contributes to 20% of maternal deaths in Ghana. Food fortification reaches a broad group and has proven to be a cost-effective solution to improve public health," said Mr. J.G.A. Armah, head of the Nutrition Unit and Chairman of the National Food Fortification Alliance.
The program, a partnership of 35 organizations from the public and private sector, is set to produce 40,000 metric tons of fortified vegetable oil, and 481,000 metric tons of fortified wheat flour in five years time. These are projected to be consumed by 17 million for oil and 19 million people for wheat flour, of whom 7 million and 13 million people respectively are considered to be vulnerable to malnutrition.
"This program co-developed with GAIN places Ghana on the radar screen of countries applying this common-sense approach to improving public health through the fortification of staple diets. Now, Ghanaians, industry and the business community at large must accept this paradigm shift and patronize fortified food products," said Mr. Agyarko, Chief Executive of the Food and Drugs Board.
"The launch in Ghana brings the number of projects that GAIN has developed and co-funded to tackle malnutrition around the world to 19. It is especially gratifying to know that, because the partnership will make fortification standard practice in the food industry, these projects will continue to deliver benefits to vulnerable children and women long after our support ends," said Regina Moench-Pfanner, Senior Manager of GAIN.
The 5-year program is executed by the Food and Drugs Board of Ghana together with the Ghana Health Service and the Ghana Standard Board. It receives funding to the amount of US$ 1.8 million from the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN).

Last week on "The Bachelor" 2014 fans really got to know more about Andi Dorfman and she became a fast favorite. On Jan. 15, TMZ shared a video of her in court and she really is more than just a pretty girl.
She is actually working on a really big murder trial right now. It is the case about the 2012 murder of Lil Phat who is a rapper. Ex-mobster Mani Chulpayev is being charged with the murder. Andi works as an Assistant District Attorney on the case and does a great job in court.
In this video, Andi Dorfman shows how professional she is and that she is a smart girl. Hopefully Juan Pablo Galavis realizes what a catch she is and keeps her around for a bit longer on this season of the show. He obviously isn't into girls that like to party and not take things serious. She could be his girl.
Don't miss new episodes of "The Bachelor" 2014 on Monday nights on ABC. Please like my Facebook for the latest news.

Alright guys so time for a little bit of more explanation of my relationship with Mia. That last one was just of how we finally talked to each other and now in this one good old best friend Saki hears the story of what she missed out on after practice.
2 years ago
(DS's PC chatting with Saki online)
S4K1: lol she walked with you home? So how did that feel having miss popular walking with you?
Dee-Es: eh it was kinda awkward. She tried acting like she didn't know we lived right next door to each other. For Miss Popular she's a shy person.
S4K1: Shy huh? Well I don't blame her to be like that around guys. All her boyfriends were all A$$3$ to her. So I'm guessing that's why she was shy.
5 Minutes later:
Dee-Es has gone idle
I was just about to go back to the computer before Saki would notice I was gone, but I guess she got impatient and just came over.
"Let me guess you were working on your little romance anime again and forgot you were online huh?" Saki spoke out as she let herself in through the front door.
Yeah guys Saki has been my best friend forever that my mom gave her a key to the house, but don't think that way she has a girlfriend even though nobody knows about it except for me and now you guys.
I couldn't really lie to my own best friend and she was right I was working on one of my failure anime stories about some guy named D-Jae and his adventures through gaming and trying to find a girlfriend. There I go again going off topic. "Yeah I was sorry, but i was just heading to the convenient store for some ice-cream you should come with. I'll tell you the rest of the story."
Saki knew she couldn't resist ice-cream and love stories about her own best friend. So she went along.
We were heading out the door until something really awkward happened. We saw Mia taking out the trash and was just staring at us like she just saw a ghost.
I had to break the silence because awkward moments are awkward. "Hey Mia we're heading out to get some ice-cream wanna come with?"
"AWWWW ISN'T THAT CUTE LITTLE DS OVER HERE IS ASKING A GIRL TO GET SOME ICE-CREAM!" Saki couldn't help, but burst out laughing. "Seriously though Mia come with us after all we're all on the same team. It would be good BONDING time."
Yup that's Saki for you making everything awkward….I guess she get's that from her mom. I'm used to it though. I wouldn't really care if Mia came with us or not. "You can come along if you like, but I don't want you to get bored because all we talk about is video games and anime."
"If you don't mind…I could go for some ice-cream." Mia said with a shy awkward voice.
I was pretty surprised she agreed to go, but hey the more the merrier so its alright. "Oh so Mia this is my best friend Saki she's on the team also."
"Wassup Mia! I heard you and DS walked home together so you wassup with that?" Saki questioned Mia like a cop in an interrogation room.
Mia started to panic. She wasn't used to being asked questions like that. "Oh sorry I didn't know you guys were like that…"
Did she just say what I think she just said???? Man that was too funny. "NO NO NO NO WAY ME AND SAKI HAHAHA WE'RE LIKE SIBLINGS….and besides I'm sure she would go for you more than going for me.." Of course I whispered the last part.
"Yeah no way me and DS could go out hahaha I'm already taken anyways, but anyways do you have a liking to good ol' DS over here? I mean I don't blame you he's probably the nicest guy around for a nerd." Saki began bragging about her own best friend to get him some brownie points.
I had to get Saki to stop talking about me like that to Mia or else she would get the wrong idea. "Hey look we're here what kind of ice-cream did you want?" Hopefully thinking of flavors would keep them distracted. I personally went for my all time favorite Mint Chocolate Chip.
"Oh I'll get a Mint Chocolate Chip flavored ice-cream that one is my favorite" Mia answered with a big smile.
Saki couldn't help but giggle after hearing that. "French Vanilla for me and wow Mia you and DS have the same favorite flavor."
This was getting worst and worst I had to keep distracting them with something else because it seems like Saki has gone to her nonstop mode for matchmaking. "Here I'll pay for it. Let's head back before Mia's parents get worried."
We finally start walking back, but then Saki decided to have some private chat time with Mia on the way back and I never found out what they were talking about. "Well we're back. That was pretty fast."
Saki gave Mia a hug and me a jab to the arm and said her good byes as she had to head back home. "Well see you guys at school I'm way tired so I'm heading home. Hey DS get back online so we can chat again."
Mia waved good bye to Saki and I just nodded my head. "Well I guess I should head inside as well. Enjoy the ice-cream." It was really the only thing I could say at that time.
"Hey DS…can I get your screen name? We could chat online sometime." Mia said while looking down at her ice-cream.
Well that was unexpected of her to say, but I didn't really over think it. "Yeah sure its D E E - E S, I'm always online so if you wanna talk just message me." As we finished the trade of screen names Mia finally went into her house.
Current time:
There we go that whole incident started a somewhat fun start of a friendship with Mia. Of course I never found out what those two were talking about that day. Either way I'm sure it wasn't bad.
Thanks to the whole switching screen names I found out that Mia was actually as much of a nerd as I was. Watching anime and video games were her thing as well, but she couldn't really tell her group of friends because she was embarrassed. So I made her agree to hide our friendship from the rest of the school so no rumors would start.
Maybe keeping that a secret was the reason all this confusion started…ugh I guess I'll end it here. Thinking of her and the past is making me miss her even more.
