Sleepy Eye Public's volleyball season ended with a 1-3 crosstown loss to St. Mary's on Oct. 21.
Sleepy Eye Public's volleyball season ended with a 1-3 crosstown loss to St. Mary's on Oct. 21.
Claire Krumbach and the rest of the Sleepy Eye Public athletes knew they had to bring their A-game in order to break St. Mary's in the first Section 2A tournament game. After revenging an 0-3 loss earlier in the season with a big 3-1 win over Springfield on Oct. 15, the Knights had full confidence coming into this game against their crosstown foe. But the Indians weren't going to go down without a fight.
Despite the 3-1 final score, the Indians had the early lead in three of the four sets and all four sets were intensely close. Sleepy Eye stepped up their offensive game as Krumbach led the way with 18 kills. St. Mary's Coach Jen Walter said although her team was prepared, the crosstown match was harder than they anticipated.
"We knew they were a good team, they can play phenomenal at times," Walter said. "They definitely caught us off guard though. Especially Krumbach was hitting awesome in the middle, she was hot. We had a hard time shutting her down."
The Indians came out in the first set with a lot of intensity and took a 3-1 lead which stretched into a 18-14 lead. Not used to being on their back feet, the Knights eventually found their own momentum and won four points in a row to tie it at 18-18. The final few points were close but the Indians showed their determination and won it 25-23.
Sleepy Eye took a 7-4 lead in the second set, but not before the momentum switched over to St. Mary's side as the Knights took the lead at 12-11. The Indians mustered up a few more points but the Knights made sure not to give them a two set lead as St. Mary's won it 25-16.
The third set was once again controlled by the Indians early on. Sleepy Eye continued to hit hard and took advantage of mistakes made by the Knights and had a 17-8 lead. At 18-12, the Indians felt the pressure as St. Mary's was heating up and quickly closing the gap. The score was tied for the first time in the set at 22-22, which is when the Knights took over and won 25-23 in a comeback shocker.
The final set was the most intense of the four. Sleepy Eye took a 17-12 lead halfway through, but the score was tied again at 17-17 after a statement spike was made by Deonna Brinkman. Both teams were battling as if it was their last set of the season, as the score was tied five more times, including at 25-25. But unfortunately for the Indians, it did turn out to be their last set of the season, after the Knights executed on the final two points and won it 27-25.
Becca Schmitz led in kills with 17 for St. Mary's, with Brinkman behind her at 12. Schmitz also had six blocks and eight digs. Lexie Weiss led in digs with 11, and led in aces with four. Bethany Berkner added 34 more set assists to her record. Finally, Berkner, Nikki Carr, Haley Neid, and Laura Pelzel had nine digs apiece.
For Sleepy Eye, Krumbach had 18 kills, three blocks, and two aces. Meanwhile, Josie Schieffert had nine kills and Justine Gonzalez and Miranda McMullen combined for 30 assists.
Indians Coach Nicole Jensen said it has been a roller coaster of a season for her team.
"This was the potential that we've had all season," Jensen said. "We have had our ups and downs, it's just more of a consistency thing. We had the lead in game three and game four and we just didn't capitalize on the plays that we needed to."
The Knights have now won seven games in a row, and will next face BOLD high school on Oct. 24 for the second round of the Section 2A playoffs. The game will take place in Olivia at 7 p.m.

One in a series of stories about local manufacturing.
Western's Smokehouse currently produces about 40,000 of its award-winning snack sticks a day and while many of those sticks will be sold as Western's own, the majority will be sold and relabeled by other snack companies across the world.
But despite the relabeling, each Adair County-made meat stick boasts a USDA-inspected stamp and its identifying number of "2929."
"That's our claim to fame," said Sam Western, owner and founder of Western's, of the meat sticks.
The smokehouse started as a local meat processor 35 years ago and it wasn't until the meat market started to change that the butcher house adapted, as well.
And with the meat stick market, both its own label and third parties fueling the company's success, it has made crucial contracts with distributors across the world including most recently the largest distributor of meat snacks in the U.K.
The smokehouse also secures domestic contracts, as well, with a potential agreement nearly finalized to sell 3 million summer sausages to a state prison system annually.
New technology like video chatting and e-mail have allowed Western's, which also has a website, to do business across the world.
For Western, with Greentop as his lifelong home, its access to fresh beef and pork has also contributed greatly to the shop's success and its secret to meat stick production.
Since switching to meat products about 10 years ago, business has boomed, increasing 30 to 50 percent for the past five years.
Employment has gone up as well, with the shop currently employing 33 full-time workers, up from 16 five years ago and five when it first started.
"You really don't have to be in L.A. or New York to do what we're doing," Western said.

DURHAM, N.C. - Sophomore left-hander Trent Swart tied a career high with 10 strikeouts and held Bucknell to just two hits over seven scoreless innings to lead Duke to a 9-0 win Friday afternoon at Jack Coombs Field.
Swart (1-0) retired 21 of the 24 batters he faced, including the last 17 in a row. Swart had a strikeout in every inning except the sixth, had multiple strikeouts in three innings and did not issue a walk in his second start of the season. It was the third 10-strikeout performance of his career.
"I thought it was a tremendous outing by Trent Swart," said head coach Chris Pollard. "He was really in complete command of the game, in really what were tough conditions to pitch in. I credit [Bucknell's] starting pitcher [Bryson] Hough, too. I thought he threw a really good ball game, only gave up three hits through 5.1 innings and kept us off balance early. But the job that Swart did putting up zeros allowed us to get our offense going. I thought [Dalton] Brown and [Sarkis] Ohanian came in behind him and did a good job of pitching to contact. As the game went on, I thought our offensive approach got better and better."
Duke (2-2) took advantage of two Bucknell errors in the bottom of the third to go ahead 2-0.
The Blue Devils added five runs in the sixth to take a 7-0 lead. First baseman Chris Marconcini lined the first pitch of the inning into the gap in left center for a leadoff double. After second baseman Andy Perez drew a walk, designated hitter Matt Berezo moved both runners up a base with a sacrifice bunt. Center fielder Anthony D'Alessandro then drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases. Shortstop Angelo La Bruna cleared the bases with a three-run double, lining an 0-2 pitch over the head of Bucknell left fielder Matt Busch. La Bruna would then get picked off at second for the second out of the inning. Left fielder Andrew Istler then blasted a 3-1 offering over the wall in left for his first career home run. Right fielder Jeff Kremer and catcher Mike Rosenfeld dropped back-to-back, two-out doubles into shallow center to cap the frame.
A two-run seventh extended the Duke lead to 9-0. Perez drew a one-out walk and stole second to get the inning going. Berezo followed with an RBI-single to left to score Perez. When the Bison tried to throw Perez out at home, Berezo advanced all the way to third. Berezo would later score on a wild pitch.
Sophomore Dalton Brown worked a scoreless eighth with a strikeout and classmate Sarkis Ohanian fanned three of the five batters he faced in the ninth to finish off the shutout.
La Bruna led the Blue Devils at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a three-run double and a run scored. Kremer added two hits and scored twice, while Istler, Rosenfeld and Berezo all drove in one run apiece.
Bucknell starter Bryson Hough (0-2) took the loss after surrendering five runs - three of those earned - on three hits in 5.1 innings of work.
Busch and designated hitter Luke Lombardi had the only two hits for Bucknell (0-4).
Game two of the series is scheduled for Saturday at 1 p.m. The Blue Devils and Bison will wrap up the series on Sunday at noon.

North Dakota rail line to benefit from TIGER III moneyWritten by Mischa Wanek-Libman, editor
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has obligated $10 million to rebuild a rail line near Devils Lake, N.D.
The state received the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) III Grant to help increase operating speeds, improve long-term reliability and lower maintenance costs for both freight and passenger service in the area. The 20-mile segment of track and two railroad bridges between Devils Lake and Church's Ferry have been closed several times during the past few years due to the flooding.
In 2009, BNSF began rerouting dozens of freight trains per day around this stretch of track due to the lake's rising waters. Amtrak operates its daily long-distance Empire Builder service along this route, which runs between Chicago and Seattle. The project will raise the track and bridges to help provide relief from flooding in the area, as well as perform other upgrades near Devils Lake needed to ensure the long-term viability of passenger train operations and freight movements along this route.

SHIRLEY -- The town's war veterans were called into service via email, word of mouth, even a lengthy announcement on public-access TV, which asked them to come to Monday night's Board of Selectmen meeting, preferably wearing symbols of their service, such as hats. But the hot topic they turned out for wasn't aired.
Veterans showed up in numbers on a cold night, with a slick of snow and ice on the roads, presumably to show support when the War Memorial Building Board of Trustees and American Legion Post No. 183 Commander Charles Church made a case for the town to help the Legion pay the building's heating-oil bill, which has been as high as $6,000 annually, according to a Sentinel & Enterprise story last week.
Instead, the crowd got a brief look at the building's history from longtime Legion member and former Selectman Norman Albert, who mentioned cost of upkeep and the town's duty to share it.
Church made a short statement and Trustee Chairman Theresa Richards referred to a future request.
"We haven't requested an audience (with the selectmen) for over two years, but you'll see more of us in the coming months," she said.
"At lot of time and effort," went into gathering information for Monday's presentation, Church said, citing research of old Public Spirit newspapers at the Ayer library dating to 1922 and Shirley annual town reports going back that far.
All the source material is available to the public, he said.
Albert, an active member for 55 years of the American Legion post in the building, sketched its history. Originally a church, the building was owned by the Legion when it burned down in 1935.
The same year, with the town "in dire need" of a function hall, a new building was erected on the site as part of Works Project Administration projects. But the town could only get "matching funds," so the Legion offered its insurance money as well as the property, Albert said.
Albert said the gift was contingent on the Legion continuing in the building and for town veterans to be given first priority for its use, per a state law that he cited. In addition, the deal called for the trustees to ask the town for funding, he said.
Not including the value of the land, the gift of $12,000 in insurance money would translate to more than $100,000 today, Albert said.
With World War II looming, the federal government took over the building as a USO, expanding and remodeling it. But the Legion "never lost its vested interest," Albert said. After a year of Legion ownership, the building was returned to the town in 1946.
The Legion has taken on a "heavy share" of the building's upkeep and expenses, he said, citing a 1948 town report that also stated the town should provide "a sufficient appropriation," he said.
In conclusion, Albert noted that the War Memorial Building is more than a home for the Legion. It is also a town treasure, on the state and federal historic registers and a monument to the town's war veterans.
"Few people know its history and meaning as a monument," he said.
Acting Selectmen Chairman David Swain thanked Albert for enlightening the board.
He also indicated there might be a way to help with the heating bill.
The building was one of the municipal buildings recently assessed for energy efficiency as part of a Green Communities grant overseen by the Energy Advisory Committee.
Swain said the EAC was "still running the numbers," based on that evaluation. "We may be able to assist" via the state energy grant, he said.

If you can play, the NFL will find you.
San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates, an eight-time Pro Bowl selection, was a basketball player in college at Kent State.
New Orleans Saints star tight end Jimmy Graham, a third-round pick, played basketball for the Miami Hurricanes.
Nick Kasa couldn't hang with Andre Roberson or Josh Scott over at the Coors Events Center, but that doesn't mean his performance on the Buffs' dreadful 1-10 football team has gone unnoticed.
"I wasn't a basketball star at all," Kasa said of his hoops career at Legacy High School, where he played as a freshman and sophomore but did not letter. "I was physical and I'd foul out in five minutes."
Colorado's aggressive, athletic defensive end turned tight end is an intriguing prospect for NFL general managers to consider this spring.
The 6-6, 260-pound senior leads the Buffs' woeful passing offense in highlights this season with 20 receptions for 340 yards (17.0 yards per) and three touchdowns. Kasa's 70-yard touchdown at Washington State made his teammates believers as they completed a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback for CU's only win of the season.
So how good can Kasa be once he masters his new position?
"Rob Gronkowski," said CU senior defensive tackle Will Pericak, who was recruited as a tight end coming out of Boulder High School. "He's an athlete and he could really do anything, play any position. Tight end really worked out for him."
Jon Embree said during his Tuesday press conference that CU has petitioned the NCAA to grant Kasa a fifth year of eligibility. The program's last five-star recruit never redshirted and was often injured during his career.
Kasa has already moved on.
"It's not going to happen. I've tried and it won't happen," Kasa said.
CU's coaching staff is under fire entering Friday's finale against Utah at Folsom Field. Embree will probably have to make major staff changes to return as head coach for a third season.
J.D. Brookhart, whose duties include coaching the tight ends, deserves credit for developing Kasa at an accelerated rate.
"I've talked to J.D. about it every week," Kasa said of what he needs to do to make it in the NFL. Brookhart began is coaching career with the Denver Broncos. "He's been there before and he pushes me to my limits. He's great with it and I know that he's going to get me there."
Kasa's strengths right now are his impressive speed for a big man and run blocking. He should fare very well at CU's pro timing day and if invited to the NFL combine this winter.
However, do to the offensive line's early struggles, an absurd quarterback rotation and the lack of a consistent running game, there haven't been a lot of explosive plays or even completions in the passing game.
CU has the worst scoring offense (16.3 ppg) in the country and is last in the Pac-12 in passing offense (182.2 ypg).
"It hurts losing Kasa because I think he was improving and getting better as the year goes on," said Embree, a former tight end at CU and in the NFL. "I don't think anybody outside of the football offices thought that he would be an impactful player like he was."
Kasa has been a bright spot at times. But a concussion sustained early in the Arizona game prevented him from enhancing his statistics as part of the Buffs' best offensive performance of the season against the Wildcats' woeful defense.
"After the season is done, I'm still not done. I know that, and I think everybody knows that," Kasa said. "I've just got to keep going as hard as I can and see what happens. I hope (the NFL) sees me as a good prospect."
Senior safety Ray Polk, who switched from running back to the defensive side of the ball early in his CU career, said Kasa can be a nightmare to deal with in practice.
"He has done more than what was expected. It's great and I couldn't be happier for him," Polk said. "Honestly, he's a great player for us. A lot of people knew he was an athlete but wondered if he could make that transition over to tight end. He did it and he's been amazing. He's been killing it there."
Kasa's last chance to put some draft-worthy footage on tape will be against a Utes defense ranked fifth in the conference.
It has been a historically bad season for CU football, but an impressive one-year run at tight end for Kasa.
"I've had tons of fun. I do wish that I could have another year and get the chance to make up for this one," Kasa said. "It wasn't what any of us wanted, but I've had as much fun this year as I've had here because I love playing tight end."

One full year before MSGL acquired the property that is now our campus, the Calvary Baptist Church invited us to hold an open house for our families. These photos, from September 24, 1999, show lots of familiar faces and a campus without ramps, fences, or the 10 inches of snow that is on the ground today.
I can't bear to throw away a good opportunity for a photo comparison, but we don't have a current photo taken from the same perspective. Here are two beautiful photos that offer an idea of what this view looks like today.
I hope you were able to enjoy seeing some green grass and leaves on the trees. And I promise that Spring will come exactly when it's supposed to. Until then, thanks for reading and have your best possible Wednesday!
15 years ago the Lafayette Journal and Courier announced MSGL's plans to add an elementary program and move all of its programs to a new space.
The Morton Community Center on Chauncey Avenue had been MSGL's home since 1985.
As the article states, the new elementary program was originally going to be housed in a home on Rainbow Drive that had been donated by an MSGL family. A change of plans relocated that first class to some available classroom space inside the Temple Israel on Cumberland Avenue.
In February 2001, all of our programs, from the parent-infant class through elementary, moved into our permanent home in the former Calvary Baptist church on Soldiers Home Road.
In 2007, the elementary classes moved into the Montessori House, a remodeled home adjacent to the campus.
MSGL has plans to expand once again in the near future to add a second toddler classroom and a gym/gross motor space.
Winter is upon us and the staff of the Wayback Wednesday department is preparing to head south for the season. (The staff certainly wishes this was true.) Okay, we're not really going anywhere but we have discovered a treasure trove of awesome photos. We will be scanning them and organizing them over winter break. When everyone returns in January you can look forward to the beginning of "Building MSGL." It's the story of how our families built the MSGL campus that we know and love today.
To whet your appetites I am posting one photo from that winter of 2000. Look at this photo and see if you can figure out where in the school it is. The first commenter to get it correct wins a free Wayback Wednesday t-shirt. (The staff certainly wishes this was true.) Okay, no t-shirt but you can still be first. Have fun guessing!
Have a terrific Wednesday and an awesome winter break!
Let's recap our Building MSGL series on Wayback Wednesday. Montessori Parents, Inc. purchased the Calvary Baptist Church on Soldiers Home Road in 1999. Demolition of the interior began in September, 2000. Now it's December, 2000 and the stud walls are in place so that wiring, plumbing, and drywall work can begin.

That's all for this week. Have a terrific Wednesday!
If there truly is a flashback movie that plays in our heads just before we die, the remodeling of the MSGL buildings will certainly be a part of mine. And the sweaty people covered in dust will be in it too, smiling (mostly) like they were in these photos from the first week of demolition.
The following pictures represent some of my favorite memories of the building project because we were all so young and optimistic. We didn't truly grasp what working for six months through the winter with no electricity and no toilets and no babysitters would be like. So many parents, teachers, spouses, and extended family members gave their days off and their nights and weekends to prepare this space to be our new and improved Montessori School of Greater Lafayette. They did it for free and, most importantly, they did it with a sense of humor.
Dragging the folding partitions out of the basement.
The above photo brings to mind a particularly disheartening day. The church basement was divided up into classrooms by these heavy, orange, folding partitions. Before we could start cutting into the concrete floors and tearing out the ceilng, we had to remove all of these partitions. Did I mention that they were extremely heavy? So heavy, in fact, that we couldn't move them once we got them detached and rolled up on the floor. I recall seeing Craig Lamb, Beth Nichols, and Tony Harvey pushing on them with all of their might and they just weren't budging. The wise, manly men in our group decided to drag them out of the basement using the Bobcat. Don Harvey did just that. As Tony, project manager, recalled, "That part of the demolition was really brutal. You would go in and see what was going to beat the heck out of you that day."
Just like in a Montessori classroom, every volunteer found a niche. Some of the parents didn't want to see anything go to waste, so they took out the light fixtures and the doors and anything that might be of value and marked it for a remodeling sale we had a few weeks later.
Ellie's mom is organizing the salvaged items in the future toddler room.
One of the reasons we had such a dedicated group of volunteers is that demolition work is really fun! After a long day we could put on our grubby clothes and work gloves, grab a Wonder Bar and tear into the drywall and studs.

The author was concerned about lawn maintenance.
I was really worried that the lawn would grow too long and we would look like bad neighbors. This was the first and last time I mowed the entire campus with a push mower.
That week was lots of fun, but I'm glad it's done. Have a great Wednesday!
On September 21, 2000, Montessori Parents, Inc. officially closed on the purchase of the property at 2552 Soldiers Home Road that would become the new campus of the Montessori School of Greater Lafayette. To celebrate and prepare for the next step, the board of directors and some staff and parents met that evening in the sanctuary of what was the former Calvary Baptist Church. Board president Craig Lamb offered a toast with champagne served in paper cups.
The next morning, demolition of the buildings began. MSGL parent Tony Harvey coordinated the building project. His father, Donald Harvey, was the general contractor.
These are photos of the front of the sanctuary that is now the northwest corner of the Catalpa Room. When asked about these photos, Tony said that the gold walls on the left were part of the room that lead to the baptistry. "If you came to Calvary Baptist Church and you wanted to be saved," he explained, "you had to go through that room."
This was just the beginning of 5 months of hard and dirty work by many dedicated staff and parent volunteers. Three generations of families came together for one common goal. True friendships were forged. A lot of those people are still involved with MSGL today. I look forward to sharing the few photos and many stories of that time here on Wayback Wednesdays. If you were part of this amazing project and wish to share your stories, please add them as comments to the bottom of these posts or emaill me and I will be so happy to include them in an upcoming post. Of course, any photos you share will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading! Have a terrific Wednesday.
We're keeping things simple on Wayback Wednesday this week with a short and sweet little collection of photos from October, 2002. Teacher Judy West took the children of the Red Oak class on a nature hike to Purdue's Horticulture Park to enjoy the crisp morning, collect leaves, and hug some very deserving trees.
Do you have favorite photos you would like to share on Wayback Wednesday? Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Have an outstanding Wednesday!

Revision as of 09:54, 8 December 2011
The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is a deity that either revealed itself to, or was simply invented by, Bobby Henderson as a parody of Intelligent design, similar to the Invisible Pink Unicorn. The FSM first came to public notice when Henderson wrote an open letter to the Kansas School Board, which was considering adding Intelligent Design to the curriculum, arguing for the inclusion of the FSM by echoing many of the arguments used by Intelligent Design advocates-.
Although the FSM is particularly absurd, and there is no evidence for its existence, the same can be said of God and of the "designer" of Intelligent Design (ID). Thus, Henderson argues, if a school district chooses to teach ID in the classroom, it ought to teach about the Flying Spaghetti Monster as well so that students can hear all viewpoints and make up their own minds.
Followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster are known as "Pastafarians" (a term modeled after "Rastafarians").
The deity
The Flying Spaghetti Monster is depicted as a knot of spaghetti, flanked by two meatballs, with eyes on stalks. Such a depiction is merely a guess, as the FSM is invisible to all known forms of scientific detection. The FSM is not actually made of spaghetti, but chooses to appear as such, as he really, really likes pasta.
The FSM is said to be capable of altering measurement results to make the world appear older or otherwise different from the way it really is. Thus, a scientist may carbon-date an artifact as being 10,000 years old, but:
- [W]hat our scientist does not realize is that every time he makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage.
This illustrates the problem of trying to do science without methodological naturalism.
FSM lore includes a creation myth, and a graph showing an inverse relationship between global temperature and the number of pirates in the world, which serves to illustrate the flaw in assuming that just because figures correlate they must be causally connected.
In 2006, Henderson published the first book about the FSM, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. A second, online book, published on the internet by a multitude of authors from around the world called "The Loose Cannon"( The Loose Cannon official site) is the Pastafarian version of the bible (which also parodies the bible).
Pastafarian Beliefs
Pastafarians hold very few beliefs universally, but all followers of the FSM hold that pirates are sacred, and that global warming in linked to the declining number of pirates worldwide (this parodies churches that keep making up correlations and saying they are causation, such as "less people believe in our god, so X is happening!'). Pastafarians also celibrate a holiday called "holiday" around the same time as Christians celebrate christmas, and when and how they celibrate holiday is up to them (pastafarians have thanked the Bush administration and Wal-Mart for helping to promote holiday,giving Bush a little FSM magnet to put on his limo.This parodies the War on Christmas. ). Pastafarians believe that the universe was created by the FSM while drunk, resulting in the imperfections in the universe.Pastafarian heaven has a stripper factory that produces whatever strippers you like, and a beer volcano that produces whatever beverage you like, alcoholic or non-alcoholic.The Pastafarian hell has two levels, the "upper" layer of it being reserved for bad people, where they do manual labour, with a redemption system, where they eat cheap pasta, with poor meat in the sauce. The "Lower" level is reserved for people such as Hitler, where people do the most manual of labour, such as sewage cleaning, again, with a fair redemption system. Most Pastafarian beliefs are parodies of intelligent design, Christianity, or other things of religious significance, or promote common sense, reason and tolerance. The holy day for pastafarians is Friday.

7:05 PM: In a rain delay.
Scott Baker (13.50, 34 ERA+) / Tim Wakefield (3.00, 172 ERA+)
Last Wednesday, in his only start so far this season (he missed his first start with right shoulder stiffness), Baker lasted a mere four innings against Toronto, giving up four dongs and six runs.
Last July 7, Baker pitched seven shutout innings against the Red Sox, but the Twins lost that game 1-0.
Does Josh Beckett have a hidden agenda? ... Firebrand has info on Clay Buchholz's left hamstring injury. ... I am doing only so-so with the Reds in Jere's Run Total contest. ... The Stud Who Sells Real Estate?
YFSF notes that Tyler Kepner's main sources for his New York Times story on the many home runs hit at Yankee Stadium III are Greg Rybarczyk's hittracker and Steve Lombardi's waswatching, adding:
... as old media wonders how the hell to make money in the new media world, this story shows that blogs are doing yeoman's work and providing key analysis and news outside the bounds of typical news gathering methods. Though we who traffic these sites know this and therefore this assertion may sound uncontroversial, to see two such websites cited on the front page of the Times sports section as his sources by the Yankees' beat writer is a verification and validation of the strengths and speed of the minds (kudos to Greg and Steve) working solely within our own chosen medium.

Polly's Adventures in NHS WonderlandJuly 3, 2012 at 8:27 am | Posted in arthrits, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pai, Me, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 4 Comments
Tags: arthritis, consultant, diagnosis, doctor, hospital, NHS, nurse, nurse practitioner, Rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), rheumatology
Something's going on. Call me a nasty, suspicious, cynical penguin, but this just isn't normal. I went for my routine rheumatology check – you know, the one where they say, 'Oh go away – we're not interested in you. Call those symptoms? Ha! I see people in a much worse state than you every day!' (As though that has anything to do with the price of fish.) But this time it was different … It started off with the usual intro as though we'd never met before, but this time, as I looked at her blankly, she actually said, 'Oh – we've met before, haven't we?' Then she looked at the notes – yes, the ones she'd taken in with her five minutes before she called me in, but obviously hadn't read, and went, 'Oh yes, I saw you last time.'
OK, not an auspicious start, but nevertheless, better than expected. But here's where it gets weird. She asked how I was. I said fine. She said 'scale of 1 to 10' and I said '1'. She looked blank. 'Well, is there anything you want to ask me?'
'No, not really.'
'Well … is there anything I can do for you?'
'You can say, "You're fine. Go away and come back next year," and then I'll do that.'
'Yes, but … I mean surely … '
What's going on here – you usually can't wait to see the back of me.
'I know – you haven't had any x-rays for ages. We ought to check there's nothing going on below the surface that we're unaware of.'
Really – I was diagnosed in 2007. In 2009 I mentioned x-rays and how the guidance said they should be done a year afterwards and then every so many years – but it was poo-pooed. 'No, you're fine. We see worse people …' etc.
I haven't had any x-rays done since and it hasn't worried anyone.
'Good heavens, do you know, you haven't had any x-rays done since you were diagnosed!'
'Yes, I know.'
'Well I really think you should have them done. I know it's inconvenient coming in specially and I know they're a bit of a pain, but I really think …'
'Fine. I'm happy to come in.'
And then, to make matters even more Alice-down- a-rabbit-hole, she said they could arrange the x-rays to fit in with another appointment I had, to save on trips in. Hang on – when has the hospital ever put itself out to help its out-patients? This is new – but I'm not complaining.
Of course, in the next couple of days the universe got itself back on track. The appointment for x-rays arrived, on a completely different day to my other appointment and at an impossible time two days from when the letter arrived.
Ah – that's more like the NHS I know and love, I thought. But wait … I emailed them (yes, they're now so far into the modern age you can email them, woohoo) and said, 'Sorry, can't make that, but I will be in the hospital on this date for this appointment. Can you fit round it?' And wha'-do-ya-know – they actually did!
So … did it work? Did they fit in? Did I run late for the next appointment? For answers to all these questions and more, you'll have to wait for the next exciting episode of … Polly's Adventures in NHS Wonderland.

that's more like it… i'm here in the USA… things are like that all the time for me, or at least up until NOW, when i turned 65… i have to change my PC.. RA guy will be the same and i love him,,,i've been lucky,, but our PRES…. is inflicting us with his new Health Care Plan.. so who knows what's to come…
Comment by barbara johnson— July 3, 2012 #
Haha, sounds like she was a decent one. What annoys me is that they've changed my check up clinic and now I don't see my usual doctor for check ups. I only see her if i need a steroid or something. I know they can't always give you the same doctor but surely it makes sense to keep me with the person who diagnosed me, treats me and knows all my history? Nevermind eh..
Comment by Squirrel— July 3, 2012 #
[…] like this, but then that post ended fairly positively, and so did some others, like this one where I thought I'd fallen down Alice's rabbit hole into NHS Wonderland. So, why can't it always be like that? Well, lack of resources, long hours for nurses etc. And […]

Added Arrowchat to AO: Change some of the images to reflect AO.
Added Statusicon links on Forum main: So it would show the AO hex instead of a wood bubble.
Removed "ShoeBox Compressor" from the Navigation bar: Move it to General forums. It links directly to Tom's compressor site. I'm trying to clean up the NavBar so it can scale correctly.
The database issue wiped out ArrowChat. Rebuilding now... :mad:
Should be resolved.
I wondered what was up when I couldn't get on this morning.
Yeah - hosting company didn't do a post mortem, just said "was broke, we will fix" essentially.
Ways to improve???
Give bigevil some admin responsibilities
Lol, I gave him full access to the AO Archive, but I haven't seen him post up anything..... :p
I can see everyone in the chat but the 2 chat rooms listed show empty
Just changed the setting. I took off Living Legends and just made one single chat room. If anyone needs custom chatrooms, just let me know :-)
Changed a couple more settings on the Chat Function. Let me know if it helps or not.
I changed the attachment picture size from 100px to 300px so the thumbnails are a bit larger. (It took around 12-14 hours to rebuild every thumbnail on AO.)
It's still "Categories", not "Catagories".
What if there was a section for Bluebook value on parts? I was also thinking of a 3D or 2D mag modeller so people can virtually build a mag and see what direction they would like their mag to go! something like this http://www.tomsguide.com/us/download...301-52127.html
That'd fall under the "What's it worth" section.
LOL Shows how observant I am!
I see that Brazil can now connect freely to AO again. Thanks for that! I have this addiction to AO, you know, and only being able to access it from home was really frustrating.
By the way... Some people are already using the thread prefix stuff I'm putting together on the BST forum. Hopefully it will help show what items are "Pending" and "Sold" I'll work on documentation to make sure everyone knows how to use it! :headbang:
Username Colors and User Rank updates: Dayspring and I have added a few colors to the admin/mod team here on AO. It will be easier to identify moderators or admins incase new users need help on the site.

You also should see a user rank icon for the Mag of the Month contest here on AO. I went ahead and added over 120+ members to this group so you can show off to all of the other AO members that you won a MOTM contest in the past. Any future winners will also have this badge added to their username.
MOTM Winners:
- 100+ winners over the past 7+ years.
Um.. Nice badges but where is my "Benevolent Dictator" one???
Great job, the badges are a very cool touch!
Nice job indeed! Suggestion/question: how about placing the badge to the right side of the username, instead of below the stats? That would make the banner thinner on each post and would slim down the page when it loads.

A post on the Diablo III Forums (and this follow up post) outline an exploit to make Wizards invulnerable in Blizzard's action/RPG sequel. The first post originally outlined how to perform the exploit, but that was later edited out of the post, and while there are a bunch of posts suggesting this is not true, there are at least as many saying it is, as well as a video of someone showing the it in action. The latest posts in the thread include arguments over whether or not this has now been addressed by a hotfix. Update: The now-closed thread includes this post from Blizzard: "Thanks for your reports guys! We'll get this addressed."

Yankees - 000 000 100 2 - 3 6 0Chan Ho Park allowed only one single in three innings of relief (7th-9th), while Jonathan Papelbon, in his second inning of work, allowed a solo home run to Granderson and two one-out walks before being yanked mid-inning
Red Sox - 001 000 000 0 - 1 7 0
David Ortiz's line drive single to right brought in Dustin Pedroia with Boston's only run. Flo also grounded out hard into the shift in the first.
Lackey (6-3-0-2-3, 100) pitched very well. After they scored a run in the third inning, the Red Sox got only one runner past first base -- and that was thanks to an accidental HBP with two outs in the fifth.
The concern or panic or anger over David Ortiz's weak bat began (or was rekindled from last June) in spring training and now that he has gone 0-for-7 in the first two games of the season, it's getting louder.
... how long can the Red Sox afford to wait?There was even a SoSH thread bright and early on Monday morning about how Ortiz should not have started on Opening Night. (It looks like that thread is (for now) where discussion of Ortiz/playing time/DH platoon will happen.)
Terry Francona, who wisely doesn't give a shit what the fans and media think, says Flo will start tonight against Pettitte. And it's worth noting that Tiz does have better slugging numbers against the large-beaked lefty than Mike Lowell does:
Ortiz: 18-for-49 .367/.431/.551Last night, Ortiz showed that he is already pissed off about having to answer questions about a slump:
Lowell: 10-for-29 .345/.429/.379
(Expletive) happens. Then you guys talk (expletive). Two (expletive) games already. You (expletives) going crazy. What's up with that, man? (Expletive). There's (expletive) 160 games left. Y'all (expletive) go ahead and hit for me. ... Ain't that a (expletive).He is absolutely correct -- divining anything meaningful from two games of data is complete nonsense. At the same time, his level of frustration right out of the gate is also a bit disconcerting.

Happy New Year, genealogists (and others)! This year Stanczyk wanted to start with a posting of where his roots are from and hope that another genealogist with similar roots may have leads or other info for me.
Biechow – the original parish I knew of from Ellis Island ship manifests. Many Eliasz and Leszczynski came from here. Moje Busia said she was born here as did my eldest aunt (Alice, aka Aleksandra). I need to find their birth records to confirm. All Leszczynski birth records have been found here.
Pacanow – this is where my grandmother, Walerya emigrated from. In 1913 she said she came from her father, Tomasz Leszczynski in Pacanow. My grandfather and all of his siblings whose birth recorsd have bee found were born here. I also have my great grandfather (Jozef) 's marriage record to Marianna Paluch [followed by the birth records of my grandfather, et. al.]. My great-great-grandfather (pra-pra-dziadek) died here in 1919 and as per his death record he was 60(ish). Alas no listing of his parents and I have not located his birth record or his marriage record to Anna Zasucha.
Now Stanczyk, has been speaking of parishes, but also these were the villages of record too. In the Biechow parish, many Eliasz (or Elias, Heliasz, Elijasz) have been born/married/or died. These events happened in: Piestrzec (most common), Wojcza, and Chrzanow. The village of Piestrzec, was my great-grandmother, Aniela Major's birth place.
Kwasow – The village of the Wlecialowskich family births. Kwasow is in the Pacanow parish. Maciej Wlecialowski married my great-grandfather's sister, Katarzyna Elijasz. Rozalia Wlecialowski was a god-mother to at least one of grandparents' children (Wladyslaw Jozef Elijasz). Rozalia Wlecialowski came to Detroit and married Adam Joseph Gawlikowski. Roza (aka Ciotka Rosie) would be a life-long friend to moje busia, Walerya.
Zabiec – This village is also in Pacanow parish. My grandfather Jozef said he came from his wife Walerya who resided in Zabiec in 1910. Oddly enough, little Wladyslaw Jozef was born in Biechow parish in 1908 (record #42).
Zborowek and Ksiaznice – These villages were once parishes (of some kind) and are now a part of Pacanow parish. Some Elijasz were born or married here.
Swiniary – This parish and the village was the birth place of my great-grandfather Tomasz Leszczynski's first wife: Julianna Kordos. Might this be the place he was married in too? Perhaps 2011 will bring an answer to this question.
This jester is searching for: Eliasz/Elijasz/Heliasz, Leszczynski, Wlecialowski, Paluch, Major, Zasucha, Kordos, and Kedzierski from these villages. Many other families from these villages are represented in our family tree:
Bugay, Czapla, Fortuna, Grudzien, Mizdrak, Janoski/Janowski, Baran, Podolski, Wrzesnia, Wrobel, Bebel, Bordziak, Kostyra, Gadawska, Gula, Gawron, Garztka, Kopra, Maliga, Maicher, Nalepa, and too many others. Eventually most families from the above villages inter0married over the centuries. Please write to me if you a family name above or a village from above.

Old friends, new friends. For the second year, Whole Foods is having a sort of preview of our preview. There's a little wine-and-appetizer gathering tonight at 30 W. Huron—the Gold Coast store–where you can meet honest-to-goodness Newberryans (not Uncle Blogsy; I will probably be shifting boxes at that point) and look at some books you'll have a chance at come the weekend. No, you may not buy the books they're showing you: drink the wine and buy a jar of pickles.
Whole Foods has been mighty generous, sending food for the volunteers for four different shifts. (You need to see us eat to appreciate what a gift that is. Remind me after the Book Fair, and I'll do a quick review of all the food we had given to us and how little was left over.) They're also sending 250 cloth bags for the first 250 customers on Preview Night (another incentive to be a Newberry Associate, as if you needed another.) AND they are stuffing our bookmarks into all the bags at the Gold Coast store for a week. (Not only does this get the word out, but it guarantees a wider distribution for our highly collectible bookmarks, thus enhancing the value of those in our own collection.)
Those of you who read yesterday's column may inquire "Why do you folks go around making friends with grocery stores?" If you'd ever tasted brownies sent over from a shoestore, you'd know, chum.

I have no words that can say the things my heart wants to say.
Laying in a small hospital bed only some 30 miles or so from her own bed and home, my godmother is seemingly caught in a moment where the wind will either blow her back to us and make light of our fears and anxieties or send her sailing into the arms of her parents and younger sister, my mother, and leave us behind to grieve. Despite the fact that I know she has endured a life beset by all the ills Lupus can (and did) send her way, this moment is one I am utterly unprepared for.
I have no words that can say the things my heart wants to say.
My godmother, Gertrude Bourque Jones, is an amazing woman. I couldn't phrase it any better than that if my life depended on it.
Her voice is this wonderful blend of my own mother's voice and the soothing sounds of my grandmother Ethel's voice. Whenever she speaks to you, whether in person or over the phone, you could literally feel her love wrap around your ears and settle itself across your shoulders like one of her arms. Now, when you take that voice and add in the sound of her laughter?
Nothing you hear could ever be sweeter.
Closing my eyes now I can see her there in the corner of my mind, watching us all play in her backyard and laughing at how silly we were, especially me, my cousin Timothy and Christopher, her only son.
God, I loved those afternoons.
To this day I consider Tim and Chris to be my brothers, perhaps a little more so with Christopher as he's my double first cousin.
My mother, Elaine, married my father, Alfred, while her sister, Gertrude, married Alfred's brother, Howard. I think, in a weird country backroad kind of way, that makes Christopher and I some sort of bayou cloning experiment.
Throughout my life I would always be told that we were closer than brothers, and I believed it then and I believe it now. I love Christopher despite the fact that I rarely if ever get an opportunity to see him.
Well, I see him every time I dream of myself as a child, I suppose.
I see him, his father and his mother. I see their house in Louisiana and I see us walking the street in front of it. I see us laughing and playing and growing up together. I see the waves of love and security that radiated out of that house.
Nothing could hurt us there.
I think that's why I wish I could rush down to Louisiana tonight and carry her in my arms back to 1976 or so, so that she could feel that love that I'm feeling in my heart and so that she could know that nothing can hurt her in that place.
God, I know none of this really makes any sense. I should probably just delete all of this and beg forgiveness and not write anything this week, but the words and the tears are things I think I needed to have happen so that I can truly know that this is all real.
That my aunt Gertrude will not always be there to misspell my name on my birthday cakes as Micky instead of Mikey' or that she won't be there to make us laugh until our sides hurt as she cranked up the radio in her kitchen and started dancing righteously to some zydeco with a look of sheer joy in her face.
I love you aunt Gert. I will probably never get the chance to show you these words but that's okay. I am saying them out loud as I write them so that they can dance on the wind like dozens and dozens of kisses blown in your direction.
I love you I love you I love you.
Please, don't go.

Having burnt my legs in the extensive ornamental jardins of the parental chateau last time there was a bank holiday weekend, I find myself coveting a garden of my own. Or more likely the idea of a garden if I'm honest, as I have to admit to little interest and less skill when it comes to the grubby business of actually being responsible for growing living things. Cats I can just about manage, as they more or less grow themselves and don't need much weeding, but the idea of spending weekends mulching the compost heap doesn't fill me with earthy back-to-the-land satisfaction.
All of which is just as well really, as in order to acquire any viable outdoor space I would have to move to a bigger house, thereby reattaching myself to the financial ball and chain which is a mortgage. Bugger that. I shall just have to take advantage of weekends at the château, where the gardening staff do an admirable job of keeping the grass neat and supplying homegrown strawberries.
But in a bid not to be a complete flat-dwelling townie I have made efforts with pots on the balconies, though my one attempt at long term horticultural commitment in the shape of a rhododendron came a cropper during last winter's Siberian cold snap, which finished it off entirely, presumably by freezing its roots off.
Having learned my lesson there, I am now restricting my vegetational husbandry to spider plants inside the house (since these are so tough they might as well be made of plastic) and ephemerals such as herbs and the inevitable geraniums out on the balconies. So far I have even remembered to move the right-hand tray of gernaiums when it rains so that they don't drown in the water feature created by the broken guttering. Yes thank you, I know it's been like that for three years and I should do something more sensible about it than just play chess with the geraniums.
Leaving aside the thing with the guttering, I have been far more conscientious than usual about the whole business, going so far as to start by rootling through the compost in order to assess whether or not I should replace it with new and presumably nutrient-packed dirt in a bid to give my basil the best start in life. I'm not at all sure why I imagined digging about in it with my hands was going to give me an answer to that question, now that I think about it.
Still, it did in fact give me some idea as to the advisability of putting edible plants in there, as the foul pong emanating from the pots as soon as I was up to my elbows in there would strongly suggest that certain furry residents have spent the winter using my limited growing space as an extra litter tray. Possibly the most distressing aspect of this is that I have never caught them at it, as watching something the size of Eric balancing on the edge of a flower pot and trying to aim his bum for the middle would almost be worth my ending up covered in cat wee and worse.
I coud just about forgive them this behaviour in the winter, when otherwise convenient toilet spots are either frozen solid or covered in snow, but a combination of the sorry state of this summer's basil plus a suspicious niff leads me to believe that they might have got used to the extra ensuite. The dilemma is that the chives are growing like triffids on it – maybe I should leave them to it and install a further pot for the basil. Preferably in a hanging basket.

Over the last couple of years, I have run into a "new" cousin. It started when I had time to listen to Genealogy PodCasts. A PodCast is like a radio show, but on an iPod. I would listen to these PodCasts going to and from work on the train. One of those PodCasts was Dear MYRTLE.
I had met her a couple of times over the past couple of years. She talked about Second Life (2nd Life), so I tried it out a couple of times, but then finally learned a little more and found the "virtual" meetings were very interesting, so I became a little more active. Later she and I did a joint meeting where we shared our genealogy screens. We soon realized that we might be related.
Dear MRYTLE was to give the talk at Lunch for the Family History Day this past weekend, so my wife, Patti and I left on Thursday to meet up with Dear MYRTLE and Mr. Myrt. We had a great time.
One of the things we wanted to do was to see the house where my grandparents lived and the house that my Dad built. We did that.
Mr Myrt and I mentioned that Valley Forge was not that far away, so se took a run over there. Clearly the Visitors Center had changed since the last time we have been there, so we went in to "look around". Mr Myrt had an ancestor who was at Valley Forge so we wanted to check that out. Then Dear MYRTLE mentioned a name from her ancestry who was there as well. That was the same family name that she and I shared in a presentation, so then I remembered that I had two ancestors that were in Valley Forge that winter.
Dear MYRTLE's ancestor and one of mine (same family) were from Maryland, so we looked him up and where the Monument was, and Mr Myrt mentioned his, and he was from Maine, which is where my other ancestor was from.
What a beautiful day to spend time with "family" looked and finding Monuments for our ancestors.
We wanted to visit the Chapel at Valley Forge, so we did.
When we pulled in the driveway to park, the bells were ringing. Not a normal thing to happen on a Friday afternoon. Here a couple were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary at the chapel, with the kids and grandchildren all there.
That family were able to "relive" the wedding day of that couple, 60 years later, but will be able to tell the story of last Friday, as a new chapter for them, but another chapter for the happy couple with their family.
Valley forge was just out side of the door and all of the history that took place there, but they will remember the story of the 60th Wedding Anniversary of the lovely couple.

Probably something like 8-9 hours of through-play. (Which translates - for me - into something more like 13-14 hours.)
I'm not sure what specific part you are dying at but when the Motorized Patriots show up, ride the skylines all the way to the top, jump off, and use Undertow to bring them up to top, then get back on the skylines and back down to the battle. That will save you time not having to deal with them because it can take a while to kill those guys.
Also, equip any gear that grants you brief invunerability. Those help out a ton.
Spoiler here, but if you are at the finale then its fine.

Kathryn Bigelow broke a glass ceiling in 2010 as the first woman to win a Best Director Oscar, but could actresses break a similar glass ceiling if they competed directly with actors for a gender-neutral Best Actor Academy Award?
Women can be nominated alongside men in directing, writing and most other categories in Hollywood award shows, yet they remain separated from their male peers when it comes to acting categories. As society moves to gender neutrality, the question remains whether male and female actors would find equality in a genderless acting category.
Would youngest-ever Best Actress nominee Quvenzhane Wallis' performance as a young Louisianan stand up against Daniel Day Lewis' commanding role as Abraham Lincoln? Could her role be nominated for an Oscar in a category for both actors and actresses? Maria Buszek, Associate Professor of Art History at University of Colorado-Denver, believes that many female nominees in recent years would be able to compete for a gender-neutral acting award.
"Looking at this year's nominees, men could go head-to-head with the women nominees," Buszek said. "I don't necessarily think women would come out behind." Buszek specifically cited the performances in the nominated "Silver Linings Playbook," saying that Jennifer Lawrence would likely be nominated over Bradley Cooper if they competed for the same prize on Oscar night.
Jennifer Peterson, assistant professor in University of Colorado-Boulder's film studies program, disagreed that women would be considered equally for a non-gender acting award. Peterson said that because many actresses don't tend to play leadership roles like their nominated male peers, their characters are often viewed as less important. Therefore, there would be less award consideration for those roles in a gender-neutral acting category.
"Female actors are just as good as males, but with their given roles, they don't get to show that a lot," Peterson said.
Because of the strong competition coming from male actors, it is highly likely that women would not find equal representation in nominations and awards in a shared category, according to Peterson.
Beverly Weber, an assistant professor who teaches film classes for the Germanic and Slavic languages and literatures department at CU-Boulder, said that given the current state of the male-dominated film industry, a gender-neutral acting category would yield more male winners than female winners for a while.
Veteran actress Sally Field, who was nominated in 2013 for a Golden Globe, SAG award and Oscar for her role as Mary Todd Lincoln, feared that having gender-neutral acting awards would lead to a decline of women's representation in nominated and award-winning roles.
"If you do that you won't see any actresses up there [on stage] at all," Field said. "The percentage of roles is so weighted toward actors. That's the way it's always been."
Women filled 33 percent of roles in the top 100 top-grossing films in 2011, according to the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film.
Because male roles outnumber female roles 2 to 1, Peterson believes that having women in their own acting category is better, for now.
"The function of the gender division allows women to gain visibility," Peterson said. With separate-but-equal acting awards, "It's guaranteed that five women will get notoriety [each year]."
Switching to a gender-neutral acting award presently could lead to a sharp decline in female Oscar Best Actor winners. However, there is still a possibility for an equal award in the future. Weber said that if women see more representation as winners and nominees in other categories, specifically directing, a gender-neutral acting Oscar would be more likely.
"I think we need to be looking to a time outside of gender-based acting categories," Weber said.
Although Peterson agrees that Hollywood should be working towards gender-neutral acting awards, she thinks that it would probably not happen in our lifetime because there won't be equal representation in a gender-neutral category for some time.
Buszek sees the difficulties that a genderless acting award could cause for women getting recognition for their work. However, she maintained that the best actresses could hold their own against men in the same acting category.
"Acting is a rare thing where we don't say, 'That was a good performance for a girl,'" Buszek said. "It's one of those rare fields where women performers are often considered equal or superior to their male counterparts."

I am playing with some code at the moment that should return a message that a 'category' has been added to an Access Database and another bit checking to see that if a no value is entered it writes an error message. I can't get the **** thing to work and think I may have tried to run before I can walk. saying that if there are no values. The error message I get is ...
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e14'
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'TypeId ='.
it makes reference to line 67 in the code but I can't find anything there that may be wrong

You must enter a cateogry name.

Minor spoilers to follow.
Tyler Perry's Temptation is the kind of over-the-top drama that leaves you speechless as the credits abruptly begin to roll. Perry doesn't bother trying to cloak his morality tale with details like fully developed characters or insightful dialogue or logic. The heartbreaking story of Judith (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) is introduced by her marriage counselor sister as a warning to all young married woman who have their eyes on someone else. Judith was once a happily married woman who was led into temptation by an intense, rich man who promised to appreciate her in all the ways her husband didn't. Sounds fairly standard, right? Well… no.
Judith works as a therapist for a matchmaking service owned by Janice (Vanessa Williams), a glamorous older woman with a French accent who may or may not be running escorts on the side. Her coworker Ava is played by Kim Kardashian, a true feat of stunt casting that's only made all the more impressive by her inability to inject the slightest bit of emotion into her steady stream of insults. Judith has designs on starting her own practice as a marriage counselor but her husband Brice (Lance Gross) wants to wait until they get more settled. Her frustration comes into full flower soon after a young social media exec comes in to the office to strike up a deal with Janice. Harley (Robbie Jones) begins coming on to Judith almost immediately. At first, she finds it easy to resist. Brice is the only man she's ever been with - a detail that Harley finds amazing - and he's a good man, a sensible guy, and it probably doesn't hurt that he looks like a finely chiseled Greek god. But those perfect oblique muscles will only get him so far: after Brice forgets her birthday for the second year in a row and rejects her advances one night when she wants to get frisky in the kitchen, Harley starts looking a whole lot better.
A large chunk of the movie is spent on a somewhat boring back-and-forth between Harley and Judith, with some extraordinarily strange asides tossed in. For instance, singer and actress Brandy plays Brice's coworker Karen, a haunted young woman who's on the run from an abusive ex. (Did I mention Brice is an incredibly handsome pharmacist?) Their other coworker is an older woman who can be counted on to say something crazy about Valium or lesbians at any given time. You could get whiplash from how quickly the tone goes from comedy to high drama, but at some point the drama transmogrifies into sheer absurdity with a very nasty undertone.
RELATED: Can Tyler Perry Break Out of Tyler Perry?
As you'd guess from the title, religion is a strong theme here, which is par for the course in Perry's films. It's very much a tale of good versus evil, and Perry is an Old Testament-style deity raining hellfire and brimstone down on his characters. It's not enough that they might be unhappy or heartbroken or full of regret, but they must pay dearly and cruelly. At the same time, religion is subject to the movie's tonal whims as well. Judith's mother Sarah (Ella Joyce) is a religious woman who raised her daughter in the church, but by the end of the movie, I wouldn't have been totally surprised to see her try to perform a full-on exorcism.
Besides the rather sadistic treatment of its characters, Temptation has an incredibly troubling scene that kicks off the last third of the movie, when things get really dark and mean. Judith and Harley are returning from a business trip to New Orleans on Harley's private jet. Judith got a makeover before she left (with help from Ava, naturally) and has been partaking of the many adult beverages NOLA has to offer. The flirting gets pretty steamy between them, but when Harley goes to touch and kiss her, she tries to stop him. She tells him no repeatedly and loudly and physically tries to defend herself. ''Now you can say you resisted,'' he tells her, and the scene fades into some sort of embrace. Later, Judith is shell-

Sophomore seals deal with fourth quarter 3-pointer to help Harrisburg reach finals
Playing on what is arguably the biggest stage of the season, Harrisburg stepped out from behind the curtain, played it's role perfectly and in true No. 1 fashion, dropped the microphone and exited stage left.
Harrisburg, the state's No. 1 team in Class 2A, played up to its billing in beating St. Joseph-Ogden 53-43 Friday night in the semifinals of the IHSA State Basketball Tournament at Carver Arena in Peoria.
But like any production, the final didn't come without some drama.
The Bulldogs led by just one-point, 36-35 after the end of three quarters of play and less than 30 seconds into the fourth, Harrisburg trailed 37-36.
St. Joseph-Ogden's Brent Schluter drilled a three-pointer to give the Spartans their biggest lead of the game at two, taking a 40-38 advantage with 6:51 to play.
And then here came Harrisburg.
Dakota Upchurch took care of a Tyler Smithpeters assist to tie the game at 40 and Smithpeters followed that up scoring underneath to give Harrisburg a 42-40 lead.
While one might expect a senior like Smithpeters, maybe even Upchurch of even Capel Henshaw or Ryne Roper to come through in the clutch, it was a sophomore that stole the show.
After SJO tied the game at 42, Bahari Amaya breaks the tie with a deep 3-pointer for a 45-42 lead. The 6-foot-4 forward followed that up with a rebound on the defensive end and then found a wide open Henshaw under the basket to give Harrisburg a 47-42 lead.
Amaya tied Henshaw for the team leader in points with 13, sending the Bulldogs to their first ever state championship game.
Eli Taborn-Scott netted nine for Harrisburg, who improved to 32-1, while Upchurch, Smithpeters and Snjolfur Bjornsson all finished with five and Roper tacked on three for the Bulldogs.
Harrisburg head coach Randy Smithpeters said his Bulldog bunch is chalk full of guys that can contribute in a number of ways. Amaya coming off the bench is just one example of what makes this club click so well.
"This is the kind of team we have and I think that's one of our strengths, we have a lot of guys that can contribute in a lot of ways. It's one of the things I said in the locker room before I walked out was I can point to each person in there and point out something that each one of them did that was very important in helping us win this game.
"Here's a sophomore and actually a sophomore that's not going to be 16 until this summer, so he should be a freshmen and we'll check with IHSA to check and see if we can get a red shirt year in there someplace," Smithpeters joked. "He hit some big shots. He hit a big shot early, he hit a big shot late. I'm happy for him as a sophomore to step up in this kind of pressure and be able to make those plays."
For Amaya, it was simply of case of just doing what he could to help his ball club.
"It's a great feeling," the sophomore said of hitting one of the game's biggest shots. "I didn't really think we went to the boards very well, so I tried to help out there and put some points on the board so we could win."
Up next is Seton Academy, out of South Holland in tonight's (Saturday's) championship at 8:15 p.m.
It was a fast start for the Bulldogs who quickly went up 10-0 on three straight 3-pointers from Capel Henshaw.
A Bahari Amaya 3-pointer gave the Bulldogs their biggest lead of the game at 15-2, before Harrisburg closed out the first quarter up 17-7.
The equalizer in the first half seemed to be the 3-pointer, because St. Joseph-Ogden answered right back with three treys of their own to cut Harrisburg's lead to 27-30 with 1:59 to play. The Spartans got to within six at 23-17, but Snjolfur Bjornsson helped put Harrisburg back up by 10 points when he scored on a putback with 3:00 to play in the first half.
The Bulldogs were able to handle St. Joseph-Ogden's rally and went into the locker room leading 29-20.
Harrisburg came apart at the seams so to speak in the third quarter as they were outscored 15-7 and led by just one, 36-35 at the end.
St. Joseph-Ogden put together a run in the third period where they forced Harrisburg into costly turnovers and kept the Bulldogs off the glass. More importantly, the Spartans sent the Bulldogs' leading scorer Tyler Smithpeters to the bench with his third foul with 4:16 to play and he didn't return until the fourth.
The Bulldogs did get a boost from Ryne Roper as he got the hoop and harm with 51.2 to play in the third, giving Harrisburg a 36-30 lead.

BOISE — Idaho agriculture set a record for total cash receipts in a calendar year in 2013, and five of the state's major commodities — milk, cattle and calves, potatoes, barley and dry beans — set individual records.
Cash receipts from Idaho crops were down 1 percent to $3.54 billion but cash receipts from the state's livestock industries were up 6 percent to a record $4.28 billion.
The combined $7.82 billion record total marked the third straight year Idaho farmers and ranchers have set a record for cash receipts.
The projections are contained in the University of Idaho's, "The Financial Condition of Idaho Agriculture" report, which was released to lawmakers Jan. 2.
The totals are based on sales during a calendar year.
"Agriculture and agribusiness is a fairly good-sized chunk of the state's economy and agriculture is a stabilizing force within the state," John Foltz, dean of UI's College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, told legislators.
Total revenue, including government payments, home consumption and inventory adjustment, was a record $8.64 billion, but expenses also reached a new record at $5.91 billion.
As a result, net farm income in Idaho totaled $2.73 billion last year, a half-percent decline from last year's record $2.74 billion total.
The cash receipts record came despite a reduction in sales of wheat and sugar beets, which respectively rank as Idaho's fourth and seventh largest agricultural commodities in terms of revenue.
Wheat revenues were down 8 percent to $732 million, as production was up 4 percent but prices were down 1 percent.
Sugar beet revenues fell 23 percent from 2012 to $251 million, as the state's projected 2013 average beet price of $40 per ton was 21 percent lower than the previous year's price.
Sugar beets were one of the unpleasant surprises of 2013, said UI ag economist Paul Patterson. "Everyone knew the market and prices were soft but the collapse was a lot faster and further than I had anticipated."
Milk, Idaho's top ag commodity, set a revenue record of $2.57 billion in 2013, an increase of 6 percent or $151 million from 2012. Production dipped 0.3 percent but prices averaged 6 percent higher.
Revenue from cattle and calves is estimated at a record $1.5 billion, an 8 percent increase over 2012.
Potatoes remained the state's top crop with a record $965 million in revenue last year, a 1 percent increase. Potato production was down 6 percent but the average price of $7.80 per hundredweight was up 1 percent.
Hay remained Idaho's third most valuable crop with $539 million in revenue, a 6 percent increase. Hay production was up 8 percent and the average price of $193 per ton was down $1 per ton from 2012.
Barley production was up 4 percent in 2013, the average price was 6 percent higher and barley revenues are estimated to be up 10 percent to a record $337 million.
Dry bean revenue reached a record $104 million because of higher average prices.

First the confirmed story: Layoffs Confirmed At Hellgate Developer Flagship on Gamasutra has word that a Flagship rep has confirmed that "staff at both the Flagship development team as well as online services subsidiary Ping0 were let go." They also report contact from "source close to Flagship" that the company has been "going through internal turbulence." Now for the part that's less clear, in what may or may not be related news: Hellgate Guru has a report based on a translation of a Korean news story saying that Korean operator of Hellgate: London, HanbitSoft, claims co-ownership of the Intellectual Properly for the game, and is looking to take full control of the IP to "properly manage and develop Hellgate: London into a good game with proper content." Their report quotes HanbitSoft's statement on their reasoning: "It is hard for us to accept Flagship Studios' requests for continued support in capital and funding any longer and because Flagship was being difficult." They also have a response to the story from Flagship Studios calling the story an "outright lie," except they don't appear to be refuting the accuracy of the Korean news story, but rather HanbitSoft's rights to take over the IP, seemingly indicating that such an attempt may actually be underway.
