The Return of the Lillyhammer
The Cubs enter the Pacific Time Zone, which coincides perfectly with California native Ted Lilly's return to the Cubs. The Padres might as well just save their energy and give the Cubs this win. To make room on the roster, the Cubs optioned their entire pitching staff to Iowa1, because they won't be needed anymore (I'm auditioning for the TLFC).
Sadly, not much else going on, the Cubs trail the Cardinals now by 5 games which is my personal benchmark for dismissing a team, at least this late in the season2. With only 3 games left between the two clubs, it's gonna take quite a streak by both clubs for the Cubs to make up that ground. The Wild Card is a little more attainable, trailing the Rockies by 3.5 games, but the Giants and Marlins are in the way and the Braves are tied with the Cubs.
I'll post lineups when they become available. Join the late-night fun in Parachat.
1 - Justin Berg was actually sent down.
2 - Other worthy reasons to dismiss a team: the presence of Dusty Baker, Neifi Perez or Aaron Miles, batting Corey Patterson lead-off, having Ron Coomer as your first basemen, wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates uniform (list subject to change)...
Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer
...and no EI for the game. so bunk...
the later-week blackouts for a team that's 4+ hours away with NO local TV coverage is bad enough.
i give these guy 180 bucks a year for what now? oh yeah, cuz the only other alternative is watching it in a bandwidth sucking and delayed feed for only a chunk less money...and still in those blackout zones.
this game isn't even a blackout zone...they just don't have a contract with either of the 2 TV stations showing the game. they used to show Ch.4 games (SD)...dunno why not anymore. it didn't stop them from tacking on an extra $20 for EI, though.
Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer
Effing WCIU. Fine, the damn game is on too late anyways.

Santo, (resignedly) after Miles grounds into a 3-6-3 DP: "That's all he does, hits ground balls."
When Santo rags on you, you know you're doing bad. Just lousy this year.

At least, the Wall Street Journal thinks so.

Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer
I kinda wanna see this team get blown to hell. Sell everyone. I don't like any of 'em.
Re: Sell everyone
First we waterboard Hendry.
Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer
So how many of us expected gregg to blow it?
I wonder what lous thoughts right about know are(you gave me this piece of crap for a closer)

Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer
I expected the HR. Sad, but true.
Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer
2009 Chicago Cubs == Epic Fail
Yeah, Gregg sucks ass, but if this bullshit offense could manage more than a single run against such "stellar" pitching, they never would have been in this position. You look at a boxscore for the Cardinals for example, every hitter is above 300 it seems. You look at the punchless Cubs, an no hitter is above 300--and most are below 250.
Been watching the Cubs since 69, other than the awful pre-Dallas Green 80-82 abominations, this has been the most feckless Cubs offense I can ever remember. Lack of hitting is why this is a .500 team and will be staying home in October.
Jim Hendry? Work on that resume, pal.
Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer
"this has been the most feckless Cubs offense I can ever remember"
I thought the 2002 team (under mgrs Baylor and the immortal Bruce Kimm) was pretty fucking feckless. Or is that fecking fuckless?
Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer
we're now in a deeper hole than Lou's belly button.
Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer
Keep TheRiot and Soto, everyone else, pack your bags and spin the wheel.

Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer

September call-ups will be the net topic of conversation.
As I have said 20 times here in 2009: FUCK YOU HENDRY!!!
Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer
Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer
Re: The Return of the Lillyhammer
On the bright side, we have 5 more years of Soriano, 2 more years of Bradley, and another year of Aaron Miles to look forward to.
I'd really like to see a serious lineup shake-up for the rest of the season. Let's see what Sam Fuld and Jake Fox can do given the opportunity to play everyday. Future potential is really all we have to keep our interest at this point, so let's give the youngsters a chance (I know Fuld isn't that young, but whatever).
Recent comments
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.
If the ball didn't deflect off the pitcher's mound, the game wouldn't have ended. Montgomery did miss his location though, but if that same contact was made and went in any of direction, good chance of ground out if it doesn't get through.
If it was 1 night later, Chapman would be out there and we probably would be going to extras.
Also, If KB wasn't robbed of a HR, perhaps we would have won. We will never know. Nice play by Melky though.
The comparison isn't Chapman replacing Rondon. It's Chapman replacing Richard (hopefully) in the pen. Chapman's better.

The hotel itself was a bit tricky to get too, my GPS couldn't fine the address. The inside of the hotel is beautiful. The decor is very modern and up to date. The star bucks coffee for the coffee machine was a nice touch, tea bags are an option as well. It was a rainy day so I was glad there was an indoor pool. The beds are VERY comfy, down comforters and pillows, I slept great. There is a restaurant at the hotel with room service but it looked to be a little pricy. The blue ridge parkway is very close to Roanoke, I suggest driving towards NC and stopping at Mabry Mill, it was beautiful!

"No matter how much or how little you are involved, if not for all of you, we would not be enjoying this pleasant evening," said moderator Connie Wilcox. "Each of you contribute to our successful Pancake Breakfasts or our annual Election Day Dinner and Supper whether it is by working, furnishing goods or just general support."
Among the many gifts the Auxiliary provides to the public the group donated $500 to the Lansing Food Pantry, $500 to the Genoa Food Pantry, and $230 for two children to receive food on weekends as part of the Food Bank of the Southern Tier's backpack program. $400 scholarships were given to Brittany Mikula, Troy Osterman, Scott Stanton and Dan Hughes in January, after they all successfully completed their first semesters.
Fundraising efforts were impressive. In 2013 the Auxiliary served 1420 pancake breakfasts, clearing a profit of $3834. On Election Day the volunteers served 207 dinners and 309 suppers for an additional profit of $3479. Auxiliary members also hosted a pancake breakfast for Lansing High School Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) and the After PROM Party, raising $1000. Wilcox said that about 90% of all the money raised goes back to the community.
"Our biggest benefit though is having the students come to help out at those breakfasts under the direction of Kevin Wyszkowski," Wilcox said. "They are a wonderful group of kids and some have even continued to help us out through the year which is great for us, but I also think it gives them a real sense of Community Service and what a value it is to the community and hopefully they will pick up the torch we older ones are no longer able to do it."
Wyszkowski, Dan and Karen Veaner and Wayne Pierce were given certificates of appreciation for supporting and participating in community efforts. Becca Berga, daughter of Jason and Cathy Berga, and Daniel Purcell, son of Charlie 'Cricket' Purcell, were awarded this year's scholarships. They will be awarded on the condition that they finish their first semester of college. Sierra Boles, Emily Georgia, Shane Hradisky and Daniel Purcell were honored for participating in fundraising events.
While the North lansing Auxiliary has existed for 54 years, the fundraising they do extends well beyond that when the group was affiliated with the North Lansing Grange Hall, which was closed about 50 years ago. At least five generations of Wilcox's family have participated in the Election Day Dinner and Supper for more for at least 73 years, and many other families have participated during that time.
Current officers are Irene Tyrrell, President; Dale Campbell, Vice President; Sharon Campbell, Secretary; and Connie Wilcox, treasurer.

Creamy Cheese Blintzes
|All purpose flour
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|1 Large
|Egg whites
|2 Large
|1% milk
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|Unsalted butter
|1 Tablespoon, melted
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Vegetable oil
|1 Tablespoon
|1% cottage cheese
|1 Pound
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|All purpose flour
|3 Tablespoon
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
1. To prepare the blintzes: In a large bowl, with an electric mixer set on high, beat the flour, egg, egg whites, milk, melted butter, and sugar for 1 minute or until smooth.
2. Brush the inside of a crepe pan or a heavy 6-inch skillet with a little of the oil and heat over moderately high heat. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the batter into the skillet, tilting it quickly so the batter spreads evenly and thinly coats the bottom. Cook on one side for 1 minute or only until the top is dry and blistered, then transfer with a spatula to a flat surface, browned-side-down. Repeat the process, making 12 blintzes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Set out an un-greased baking sheet. To prepare the filling: In a medium-size bowl, stir all of the ingredients until blended. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of filling in the center of each blintz, fold in 2 sides about 1 inch, then the other 2 sides, overlapping them slightly to resemble an envelope. Place seam-side-down on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes or until the filling is set, then re-set the oven to broil. Broil the blintzes for 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Top with the fresh berries and serve hot.

TMZ says it placed a call to Australia's 2DAY FM radio station earlier today in order to speak with the DJs, and were informed by the executive producer that they will not be taking any calls: Advertisement "I advise you to stop trying to call them." The radio station says it is preparing a statement regarding the announcement of Nurse Jacintha Saldanha's death. We'll update when it's released. UPDATE: The DJs are suspending themselves until further notice. Sponsored This from a just-released statement by Southern Cross Austereo, the company that owns 2Day FM: "Chief executive officer Rhys Holleran has spoken with the presenters. They are both deeply shocked and at this time we have agreed that they not comment about the circumstances. SCA and the hosts have decided that they will not return to their radio show until further notice out of respect for what can only be described as a tragedy." The company also said that it was "deeply saddened" by Saldanha's death, "and we extend our deepest sympathies to her family and all that have been affected by this situation around the world".

Eid Al-Fitr – 2016
July 6th, 2016
Eid Al-Fitr "Smaller Eid", is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Today is the first day of Eid Al-Fitr.
Eid Mubarak to all of you and your families. May you have a joyful and blessed Eid with family and friends.
July 2nd, 2016
Ma'amoul are small shortbread pastries filled with dates, orange "my mom's creation", walnuts, pistachios, or occasionally cheese, loukoum or other fillings. They can be decorated by hand or in special wooden molds. They are very popular in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and other Levantine countries. The smell of freshly baked Ma'amoul spreading throughout the place is an Eid ritual. Many of you have asked me about Ma'amoul recipe, so here it is.
Let's make Ma'amoul:

Foul Mdammas (Foul Mudammas) is a very popular dish served for breakfast or any meal of the day. In Syria, we prepare Foul Mdammas in two ways which are Foul Mdammas Bez-Zeit (fava beans with olive oil) and Foul Mdammas Bel-Laban (Fava beans with yogurt). Previously, I've shared a recipe for Foul Mdammas, and the recipe for today is almost similar to old one but with Aleppine twist.
Let's make Foul Mdammas Bel-Khaltah Al-Halabiyeh:

I need to split a string and extract words separated by whitespace characters.The source may be in English or Japanese. English whitespace characters include tab and space, and Japanese text uses these too. (IIRC, all widely-used Japanese character sets are supersets of US-ASCII.)
So the set of characters I need to use to split my string includes normal ASCII space and tab.
But, in Japanese, there is another space character, commonly called a 'full-width space'. According to my Mac's Character Viewer utility, this is U+3000 "IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE". This is (usually) what results when a user presses the space bar while typing in Japanese input mode.
Are there any other characters that I need to consider?
I am processing textual data submitted by users who have been told to "separate entries with spaces". However, the users are using a wide variety of computer and mobile phone operating systems to submit these texts. We've already seen that users may not be aware of whether they are in Japanese or English input mode when entering this data.
Furthermore, the behavior of the space key differs across platforms and applications even in Japanese mode (e.g., Windows 7 will insert an ideographic space but iOS will insert an ASCII space).
So what I want is basically "the set of all characters that visually look like a space and might be generated when the user presses the space key, or the tab key since many users do not know the difference between a space and a tab, in Japanese and/or English".
Is there any authoritative answer to such a question?

Saints enter CVAC tourney rested, on a roll
Published: Wednesday, March 1, 2006 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 1, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
If Limestone College men's basketball head coach Larry Epperly had his way, the league tournament would have started last week.
Men's quarterfinals
No. 5 seed Queens (12-8 CVAC, 18-9) at No. 4 seed Limestone (12-8, 14-13), 7 p.m., Timken Center
Women's quarterfinals
No. 8 seed Limestone (9-12, 11-16) at No. 1 seed Anderson (18-2, 22-4), 7 p.m., Abney Center
The Saints were on a roll. They won five of their last six regular-season games, including a 19-point upset of third-ranked Barton, to earn a No. 4 seed in the Carolinas/Virginia Athletic Conference tournament.
Then came the longest break since the winter holiday.
Nine days since they last played, the Saints take the court tonight at 7 in the Timken Center against fifth-seeded Queens. Both teams received first-round byes, so the winner advances to the semifinals Friday in Mount Olive, N.C.
"I'm worried about losing all the momentum we had," Epperly said. "At least we'll be rested."
Limestone (12-8 CVAC, 14-13 overall) didn't respond well to the last extended break. After 11 days off in December, the Saints dropped three of four and weren't able to put together back-to-back wins until February.
They picked up steam after that, however, and have won seven of nine since then. If they can double their current three-game win streak, they will earn the school's first CVAC basketball championship.
"The guys have a lot of confidence and I think we have a good chance," Epperly said.
"If we would have started the tournament (last) Thursday or Friday, I would have liked our chances even more."
Senior guard Marquintus Jones was recently named CVAC player of the week for averaging 18.7 points in three games and leading Limestone to the win against Barton.
"We can keep it going in the tournament," Jones said. "We're playing our best basketball now. It's time."
Jones, the only senior on the team, is averaging 12.9 points and 4.4 rebounds. He took a redshirt season as a freshman, so has been with the program for five years. This season, the Denmark, Tenn., native has been the Saints' unquestioned leader.
"He's a senior on a mission," Epperly said. "Marquintus has refused to let guys lose their focus. He just won't let guys quit working. We were down and out at one time (starting the season 4-8). We were struggling to put it all together. He willed this team to keep on keeping on."
WOMEN: The Lady Saints need to upset the league's best team tonight in order to advance.
Top-seeded Anderson plays host to No. 9 seed Limestone at 7 p.m. in a quarterfinals game. The Lady Trojans are 18-2 in the CVAC, 22-3 overall. They are 81-14 in the past three years with two regular-season titles and two tournament championships.
"They're really good and have been really good for three years," said Limestone head coach Corey Fox, whose team beat Coker at home in the first round.
"They just have a lot of firepower."
Anderson swept Limestone (9-12, 12-16) during the regular season, 93-81 at Gaffney and 97-74 at home. In the first one, the Lady Saints were tied with five minutes remaining.
"We don't mind playing Anderson," Fox said. "We feel like we can beat anybody on the right night."

Information connected to the waitlist process for the entering class of fall 2017 will be added to this page after August 1, 2016.
April 18, 2016: The Honors College has received a higher than expected positive response rate among students who have deposited to ECU for fall 2016. As such, we are currently over-enrolled and we cannot consult our waitlist for any offers of admission until such time that we drop below our enrollment target. While it is certainly possible that this could occur between now and August 1 if a student withdraws their enrollment from ECU, it is by no means a guarantee. We are simply not permitted to offer any additional seats until and unless a space becomes available. If such an opportunity presents itself, a member of our team will be in touch immediately to share this information with any student selected from our waitlist.
The Honors College wait list application process was open to any prospective fall 2016 undergraduate student who has been accepted to East Carolina University prior to March 1, 2016. Strongest consideration will be directed to those students who meet Honors College minimum eligibility criteria (see Application Process). Students who have already submitted a completed application to the Honors College and who were initially denied admission are automatically added to the Honors College wait list.
The Honors College wait list is consulted to fill the Honors College entering class if the incoming cohort falls below the Honors College enrollment goal. The Honors College wait list is not connected with the EC Scholars, Business Scholars, Humanities Scholars, Music Scholars, or Early Assurance Programs selection processes. These are not open to students who are admitted through the wait list process.
The application carries a postmarked deadline date of March 15, 2016 for both the online application and the required peer letter of recommendation. The Honors College will acknowledge receipt of completed wait list applications with an e-mail confirmation. This will occur at such time that the Honors College is in receipt of a completed online waitlist application and the required peer letter of recommendation. Following this electronic confirmation, the Honors College will only communicate with students on the wait list in the event of an updated admissions status with the Honors College. These decisions will be made on a rolling basis to begin as early as April 20 and to conclude no later than August 1, 2016.

Private Umut Tuna just finished basic training. The 20-year-old soldier was beginning his 12-month compulsory service in the Turkish Military.
On July 15th, a command came down to prepare for a drill, says Umut's sister Emel Koken. That drill turned out to be a coup attempt. Now his fate and that of over 1,600 conscripts hangs in the balance.
"He called me from a police station," she says. "He wasn't aware of the coup. He was told he was going out for a drill. He is very scared."
Many of the conscripts are being held in Silivri prison located on a windswept plain an hour outside of Istanbul.
In front of the main gate, dozens of families wait at a makeshift coffee shop with plastic chairs hoping to hear news regarding their loved ones.
Yasariye Tuckuran carries her two young children. Her husband's income sustained the family. She worries that he could not only lose his job but also his freedom.
"He was in his bed when they woke him for a night mission. He ran out the door in his slippers," says Tuckuran.
"My husband is completely innocent. My children cry out for their father. I need my husband back. He is our sole breadwinner."
Family members crowd around. Each one has a story declaring the innocence of their son, brother or father who is behind bars.
Loved ones camp outside prison
In Turkey, able-bodied men have to join the military for up to a year of service. Many in the country see it as a rite of passage. After basic training, they are posted to various assignments for the rest of their year.
These families insist their loved ones are victims of the coup too. They say the soldiers' only crime is following the orders of their superior officers, something drilled into them at basic training.
Sukru Esoglu drove across the country to camp outside the prison with his wife. They borrowed their neighbor's car, stuffed it with pillows and blankets. Two chairs and a carpet mark their campsite.
"This is my home now until my son is released," says Esoglu.
On the night of the coup, President Reccip Tayyip Erdogan appeared on CNN Turk via FaceTime and urged his supporters to take to the street to fight for democracy.
Esoglu answered the president's call not knowing his son was on the other side.
"We didn't hear from our son when the coup began. We went to the square to perform our democratic duty. The next day, we were told our son had been arrested."
Crackdown criticized
Chaos gripped Turkey on the night of the coup. Elements within the military mobilized soldiers and tanks onto the streets. The ensuing clashes between the army and anti-coup protesters lead to the deaths of at least 246 people.
The attempt quickly failed. Soldiers laid down their guns and surrendered to the police and the anti-coup mob. Some soldiers appeared on TV covered in blood, bruised and scared. Over 9,000 soldiers have been taken into custody.
Pictures of detainees flooded social media showing them in their underwear and corralled in stables. Human rights groups condemned the treatment of the prisoners.
Amnesty International reports to have "gathered credible evidence that detainees in Turkey are being subjected to beatings and torture, including rape, in official and unofficial detention centers in the country."
It alleges the worst treatment is reserved for high-ranking military officers.
The Turkish government shot back denying any wrongdoing. In a statement the they called the allegations "unsubstantial and unfounded" adding that the accusation "detainees are subject to rape are completely fictional claims and only amount to aspersion." The Justice Ministry insists anybody found guilty of torture will be held accountable.
The families at the prison don't believe their sons will be tortured as they were pawns in a political game. But, they worry about their futures. Will they now be branded as traitors for just doing their jobs?
"We are not traitors. We went to the squares with our flags," says Emel Koken. "I'm addressing the president. Please don't let these kids to be stigmatized as traitors."

Ratings for Dr. Malgorzata Cieslak
Stay away from her. She is always rushing to next patient , to busy for good care.
Make sure you don`t have more than one question for Dr. M. Cieslak because she`ll be half out the door and probably won`t hear you when you ask it.....she`s always rusing to the next billable patient. Her bed side manner is atrocious and she is incredibly rude. She is too busy trying to get rid of you that she barely skims the surface of addressing the issue you came in for. It`s amazing that she ever wanted to become a doctor. She doesn`t appear to care for people at all.
She is a horrible doctor. She rushes you out the door mid-sentence. She's rude and just doesn't care. She's great at pushing prescriptions and at giving out as many referrals to specialists ad you like.
Dr Cieslak is the best. She has been my doctor for more than 10 years. She is very efficient. My appointments are never any longer than they need to be because she gets right to the point. She usually runs on time..5 min wait max. She asks all the right questions and her diagnosis are always right on the money. She is very earnest..will give more than one remedy if available and explain costs/benefits of each. The few times over the years that I've gone to a walk in clinic for the sake of convenience have been big mistakes. Thank God I have such a great doctor. I pray she never retires. Also her office is gorgeous and her medical assistant is upbeat and friendly.
I have been a patient of doctor cieslak for five years or more now and I find her to be the best doctor ever! She is so diligent. She takes the tine to listen to me and takes things very seriously. ..until she has determined the cause of whatever may be ailing me..she is not a pill pusher but if you need medication..you will get what you need..its new west and there is a huge drug problem in that city, so if you go to her looking for narcotics dont expect to get them without just cause!.I have listened to doc cieslak with other patients and I am continually impressed with how she treats her patients. She is one of the only doctors I know who will be there for you in a an emergency. All my children see her as well and my youngest see's the other dr.cieslak for hion s pediatric needs..I would , and always do, recommend her as a physician..on a final noteI would like to add that her receptionist is fantastic. you should consider yourself blessed to have her as you physician.
Dr. Margaret Cieslak is not only very knowledgable and helpful but also very polite. She took time to explain all my options. I'm very happy with Dr. Cieslak.
For a professional and busy client, Dr. Cieslak provides top notch service. Kind and to the point. It is not my intention to go make small-talk with my Family Doc, she manages my medical issues in an efficient manner.
This doctor is one of the best doctors in Canada. There were a few times that I wanted to change to a different g.p., but after seeing five different doctors from different backgrounds, I decided that she is the best. Let her know your problems, don't expect her to read your mind, and you will be fine. Very respectful and helpful. After seeing her for the last seventeen years, I am truly grateful that I met her.
Offering drugs as a prize for being a good patient to kids is ridiculous, OMG can the woman afford some dollar store prizes. Nothing like promoting drugs.
I was referred to this doctor after I had my second son. At first she didn't want to take me but I convinced her to. I took my baby in for immunizations and she had to really think about which vial to inject, which didn't add confidence. I asked her about having an IUD inserted and she counseled that it wasn't a good choice for me. Having worked in sexual health I was pretty sure it was, plus she had just met me -- without doing so much as a five minute history -- so how would she know? I took my kids and I there for flu shots and when she gave them sample bottles of tylenol as a 'reward' for being 'good', I knew I would never go back again, even if it means always going to walk in clinics or public health. Punctuality will only take you so far; I'd rather have a doctor be late and know what she's talking about.

What are the membership and transaction fees for?
Membership and transaction fees are used to cover the inherent costs of training, support and technological services to all the organizers around the world, to enable them to organize their own event, as offered by Dîner en Blanc International. These services allow us to preserve and convey the concept's values, to sustain our corporate standards by regrouping them within a single network and, to develop technical tools. The membership offers members a number of online services that will grow in the coming years. Dîner en Blanc International is working on updating its platforms (release planned for 2016) so that all participants of a Dîner en Blanc event become members. In addition, this annual fee will allow members to register for as many Dîner en Blanc events in the world as they wish.
Is Dîner en Blanc an illegal activity?
For almost 30 years, Le Dîner en Blanc de Paris has been taking place without authorization, in some of the city's most prestigious sites. The first editions were not easy to pull off. Today, French authorities know that the event is always well organized and that guests are always respectful of public property. Moreover, the event's photogenic quality helps promote the city's image as a stylish Metropolis. On the other hand, all events produced according to Le Dîner en Blanc International guidelines require local hosts to acquire the proper authorization, permits, and insurances before proceeding with their event.
How many Dîner en Blanc events are there in the world?
Since the founding of Dîner en Blanc International in 2012, the event has quickly spread to over 70 cities around the world, with close to 120,000 guests participating each year. The largest and most internationally recognized Dîner en Blanc remains the original Paris event. Launched nearly 30 years ago by François Pasquier and his close friends, Le Dîner en Blanc de Paris now attracts almost 10,000 people annually, with 15,000 guests attending the 25th anniversary edition in 2013.
Is it possible to organize a Dîner en Blanc in my city?
Dîner en Blanc International has established an exclusive service to facilitate the organization and management of Dîner en Blanc events around the world. This turnkey service enables interested local teams to produce Dîner en Blanc in their own city, while connecting to the international network. For more information, write to firstname.lastname@example.com.
How can I participate?
You can register for Le Dîner en Blanc by one of the following three methods: by being part of the Hosts or Leaders' personal network and getting invited by them (Phase 1); by knowing someone who registers during Phase 1 and asking them to sponsor you for Phase 2; or, by signing up to the waiting list and registering during Phase 3.
What are the key rules of the event?
Le Dîner en Blanc is an evening like no other. Once registration is confirmed, each guests' participation becomes mandatory, regardless of weather conditions. Participants arrive at a designated departure point with their table, chairs, and picnic materials, and then make their way to the secret location with their Table Leader by chartered bus or organized public transportation. They take all of their belongings with them at the end of the night, including leftovers and trash, and they leave the site as clean as it was upon arrival.
What must guests wear?
All guests must dress elegantly in head-to-toe white. This means no ivory, no off-white, and no beige… Originality is always encouraged, as long as it stays stylish and tasteful.
What must guests bring?
A square folding-table and two white chairs; a white picnic basket and/or bag including a gourmet meal for two, a white tablecloth and cloth-napkins, cutlery, dishware, and glassware; and a garbage bag.

Sept. 11 remembrance in Sumerduck
We said goodbye to a very special resident of Goldvein this week, Mrs. Jimmie Lou Bell. Mrs. Bell was born in 1922 and passed away on Aug. 29. She was born in Georgia and was one of the last "Rosie the Riveters." She was also active at Grove Baptist Church and the Goldvein Fire Department. Many of you will remember her as the originator of the corndogs at the Goldvein Fire Department Carnival. To me, she will always be the "Corndog Queen!" Mrs. Bell was one of the first people that I met here and she was friendly, funny and full of life. Rest In Peace, Jimmie Lou, you left this world a little brighter place.
Coming up this week:
The Sumerduck Ruritan Club will be holding a Sept. 11 Remembrance Ceremony this Friday. It will be at 6 p.m. at the Sumerduck Post Office. Everyone is welcome. For more information, call (540) 445-1714.

Jak and Daxter Collection PlayStation Vita
- Publisher: SCEA
- Release Date: Jun 18, 2013
- Also On: PlayStation 3
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Jul 4, 2013Jak and Daxter Trilogy is still the same awesome pack of remastered games, but Vita port looks somewhat lazy. Frame rate issues and weird control scheme might you want to get the superior PlayStation 3 version instead.
Jun 26, 2013It's just a shame the genre-defining original is such a frustrating title to play on Vita, the second is so impenetrably hard, and the third a little unfocused.
Jun 25, 2013You can't go wrong for the price, and this game is definitely worth adding to your collection, but preferably your PS3 collection.
Jun 13, 2013Though fans of the series may be able to excuse its technical issues, this isn't the top-end collection it could have been to attract new players to this classic series.
Jul 28, 2013The Jak and Daxter Collection's three games are excellent, but if you have the ability to play them on the PS3 (or hell, even the PS2), then that's the way to go.
Jun 18, 2013It's no surprise that the Vita release of Jak and Daxter Collection is noticeably inferior to its console counterpart. The problem is I'm referring to both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 versions of each game. What the Jak and Daxter Collection gains in portability to loses in playability - a compromise that, even for games as objectively great as these three, is tough to reconcile.
Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaAug 12, 2013We can't help but feel as though this port was booted out of the door without so much as a kiss goodbye. Case in point: you still have the option to toggle 'vibration' on and off in the settings menu. Come on, guys... really? The Jak and Daxter Collection should be played by anybody who hasn't already. But our advice: skip past this port and go for the home console version instead. [September 2013, p74]
Aug 9, 2013The sad truth is that while the trilogy is more than playable on the Vita this collection is not the definitive version, and if you have the choice and the inclination you would be far better off playing these on the PS3.
Jul 26, 2013The Vita version of The Jak & Daxter Trilogy is not the best way to experience the story of Naughty Dog's duo.
Jul 12, 2013This specific Vita-version of the Jak and Daxter Trilogy doesn't do the series enough honor. Framerate issues and awkward controls undo a lot of the magic. Whoever manages to look past these issues will have an expansive and varied trip through the colorful Misty Island, the somber Haven City and tough Spargus awaiting them.
Jul 11, 2013How to destroy a great trilogy with a poor-quality conversion. We hope for a better result next time.
Jun 25, 2013This Vita port of the HD Compilation is nicely done, even though the games themselves and their shortcomings remain the same: some camera issues, rigid PS2-era controls, and the like. Still a new way to enjoy 3 classics on the go.
Jun 22, 2013Jak and Daxter is an excellent franchise and one of my all-time favorites, but the Vita collection doesn't really do it justice. If you're keen on experiencing these classics, whether it's for the first or fortieth time, it's probably best to wait for either a price drop, or just pick up the superior PS3 version.

Jun 19, 2013Although the trailer suggests that the PS Vita copy of the Jak and Daxter Trilogy has frame-rate issues i can assure you that from MYAlthough the trailer suggests that the PS Vita copy of the Jak and Daxter Trilogy has frame-rate issues i can assure you that from MY experience with the game,
the frame rates do not drop as often as you think they might. To be honest Jak 2 ran smoother than ever, Jak 3 had the occasional dip in frame-rate but the
first game, Jak and Daxter The Precursor Legacy has all sorts of frame-rate problems, but thats not the point.The point is the Vita is not capable of running
games around the clock at 60fps. I dont see there being any problem in the frame-rate for the first two games in the trailer. I only saw a dip in Jak 3, and i
can assure you these moments of frame-rate drop are few and far between. Let's get onto the POSITIVE side of things now you're getting Jak and Daxter:
The Precursor Legacy, Jak 2 and Jak 3 on a single game catridge for $50.00, thats three of last gens best titles fiited into one tiny little PS Vita Game Card.
plus having them wherever you go is quite a bonus. From me it's a good move from sony bringing the trilogy onto the Vita. Being able to play on the Vita on a
holiday rather than having to take a huge giant console everywhere. The balance of the games are great, Jak and Daxter The Precursor Legacy is a light-
hearted platformer, Jak 2 add's in shooting, driving, and is more dark, and Jak 3 finds a balance between the two, with shooting, driving, mini-games and
a whole lot more. The Trilogy on the PS Vita also comes with full PSN trophy support, and if you've already collected them on PS3 you WILL be able to
collect them all again. Now onto the Graphics, the graphics don't look as good as the PS3, but thats unfair comparing the device with such a beasty console.
The Jak and Daxter Trilogy graphics are quite amazing for the Playstation Vita, with bright colours popping up everywhere, take the frame-rate problem out (
thats mean when your getting smooth gameplay). The gameplay is smooth and crisp. The controls, although the controls given to the backtouchpad aren't
has "usable" as the dualshock's 3 L2 and R2, it gets the job done. It's not about where the controls are, it's about how you use them. To me the backtouchpad
wasn't bad to use, because i use it quite a bit in most of my other games. Your opinion might differ. Many complain about how, Daxter Jak and Daxter The Lost
Frontier and Jak X are not in the trilogy. THATS because the PS Vita Game Card can use up to 2GB-4GB of space. Jak and Daxter the Precursor Legacy, Jak
2, and Jak 3 are 3GB put together onto the Card. Thats why you won't be getting the other 3 spin-offs. My final point is that atleast we have a Jak and Daxter
Trilogy on the Playstation Vita, and considering the favourite of the three for me is Jak 2, and runs crisply and smootly is quite jaw-dropping for me. My final
verdict and score will now follow. Still PATCHES could be avaible to the Trilogy if developers look into it.… Full Review »
May 6, 2014Okay, I had to come back to this one because I've completed a lot more of it since my original post. Many already know that the framerate isOkay, I had to come back to this one because I've completed a lot more of it since my original post. Many already know that the framerate is all over the place, sometimes it's okay, other times some of the worst you've seen, but a lot of people seem to be having different experiences with it, so I just wanted to go over my own. Jak 1 starts out with bad framerate for about the first third of the game. It improves somewhat during the middle part of the game, and then the final third main area of the game the frame rate is much smoother. It wasn't just because I was getting used to it, I actually went back to the first hub of the game and the FR was bad again. Moving onto the second game, I have no idea why people are saying it runs the best of the 3. Sure the very first room of the game runs smooth but trust me, when you get to the main city the framerate absolutely plummets. There are some other levels in the game that run okay and others where it's so bad that it makes some of the missions seem damn near impossible to complete without blind luck. I actually gave up on the game at around 85% because the FR was beginning to directly hurt the mechanics of the game. As for the third and final, I played a little past the tutorial and decided it was unplayable. I remember the tutorial being easy as hell on the ps2, playing it on the vita I died about 5 times since I had to fight the god awful framerate! I rarely ever say this but I honestly think this port was not worth making.… Full Review »
Jun 19, 2013First off, I'd like to start by saying that I do see the framerate drops in the first game, but I do not feel like it is a massive problemFirst off, I'd like to start by saying that I do see the framerate drops in the first game, but I do not feel like it is a massive problem that takes away from the experience. The game is a solid port of a great game. This collection did what it advertised, it brought the Jak and Daxter experience to a handheld. Since the games play just as good as I remember, with just a few infrequent performance drops, I'd say that they did a great job at bringing the dynamic duo to the PlayStation Vita.… Full Review »

Former Utah attorney general led crusade
Graham passionate about ending domestic violence
Utah's last high-profile champion for domestic abuse concerns was Jan Graham, the state's attorney general from 1993-2001.
Graham was passionate about the issue and drove a campaign that delivered domestic abuse information to companies, doctor's offices, churches, schools and community groups throughout the state.
The programs went straight to the heart of stigma around domestic abuse the notion that abuse is a secret, that people don't want to look at it, and that to do so makes an observer nosy or meddling.
"Our goal was to get abuse out of the dark corners and into the light of day," Graham said recently.
The program's direct objective was twofold, said Reed Richards, Graham's second in command at the time. It was designed first to stop the cycle of seriousness in family violence that begins with yelling and escalates to pushing, hitting and even killing. It also aimed to stop the chain of violence by which children repeat behavior they learn at home and become victims and abusers themselves.
So Graham, Richards and their staff led training sessions everywhere.
"We went to every city council that would let us in," Richards said.
They spoke to students and teachers.
More than 300 people showed up at an LDS Church gathering in Roosevelt.
They spoke to employees in hundreds of companies, including steelworkers at Geneva Steel near Orem. Afterward, Graham got anonymous calls from women whose husbands came home saying they recognized themselves in the presentation and wanted to get help.
Another training avenue took them to churches, synagogues and mosques, where clerical leaders told state officials that family violence was one of the major problems in their congregations.
They passed out thousands of copies of a video titled "One Hit Leads to Another."
There are few copies around now, and there's no one to produce it anymore, Richards said.
Nothing Graham ever did as attorney general was state funded. Community volunteers led many "Safe at Home" presentations.
Graham is mostly out of public life now. She practices law and has worked anonymously to help Joe
Torre, manager of the New York Yankees, to build his "Safe at Home" Foundation in New York. She is reluctant to speak out about domestic violence now, or to say what the state is doing wrong and what it could be doing right.
"I can also tell you from experience that the personal cost in leading out on this issue is notable," Graham said recently in an e-mail interview.
"The realities of it day after day for me created a huge emotional burden that, yes, drove my passion, but also left me with great sorrow and a feeling of powerlessness to change the harm so many children endure."
As attorney general, one of Graham's most powerful messages was to children.
Through Utah's "Safe at Home" program, she explained the fundamentals of abuse to youngsters: Abuse is not "normal" and is wrong, it is never a child's fault, the abuser can get help and can change, there are trusted adults who want to help, and many kids live in homes with abuse. If you are one of those children, the program reiterated, you are not alone.
"These messages sound simple, but most kids who witness abuse blame themselves," Graham said. "They think their home is the only place where it happens, or think that abuse is just the way life is and that no one cares that it is happening.
"None of that is true, so it is important that they are told the truth over and over again."
