Say goodbye to a.m. madness by prepping one of these delectable breakfasts before bed and letting your slow cooker do the work while you sleep.
Honey Nut Granola with Cherries
Dried cherries and crunchy pumpkin seeds are a nice early autumn combo—but this simple granola is so adaptable you could also substitute equal amounts of any of your favorite dried fruit and nuts. Almond butter is also delicious in place of peanut butter.
Get the recipe.
Banana Allspice Breakfast Risotto
This creative, warming spin on rice pudding is a fun change of pace from conventional oatmeal and makes a great gluten-free breakfast option. To make the dish dairy-free and vegan as well, coconut oil and coconut milk can be substituted for butter and half and half.
Get the recipe.
Blueberry Lemon Poppyseed French Toast Casserole
This barely-sweet, hands-off approach to french toast gets a bit of sweetness from a drizzle of zingy lemon glaze after cooking. Have a slew of oranges or limes on hand? No problem: swapping in an equal amount of another citrus juice and zest is equally tasty.
Get the recipe.
Slow-Cooker Cinnamon Monkey Bread
Thanks to the magic of the slow cooker, you can fill the house with the scent of this decadent breakfast treat while you sleep. But, note: if you plan to serve it immediately after cooking rather than keeping it warm, reduce the water called for in the recipe to 1/3 cup.
Get the recipe.
Bacon, Sage, and Butternut Squash Quiche
Cooking a quiche in a pre-made crust directly in the pie-tin makes for easier removal, clean-up, serving, and storage of leftovers. Sage gives the dish an appealing autumnal flavor, but equal amounts of fresh thyme leaves or chopped fresh rosemary can easily be used in its place. Or try replacing the Gruyere with an equal amount of crumbled blue cheese, grated aged white cheddar, or tangy goat cheese.
Get the recipe.
Pumpkin Streusel Coffee Cake
Rolled oats make the streusel topping extra crispy on this tender fall treat. The recipe will work with either a 8x4-inch or a 10x3-inch loaf pan, both of which fit most slow cookers. Using dark-brown sugar lends the cake a richer flavor and darker color--but feel free to substitute light-brown sugar if that's what you have on hand.
Get the recipe.

Retreats and Workshops
St. Stephen's offers retreats at the church, at the beginning of Lent and Advent and at other times. We also offer retreats offsite, such as at the Society of St. John the Evangelist's monastery in Cambridge, Massachusetts, or at Emery House, SSJE's retreat center in Newburyport, Massachusetts; and at Shrine Mont, the Diocese of Virginia's camp and conference center in the mountains northwest of Harrisonburg, Virginia.
Lenten retreat
Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John
Led by Br. Luke Ditewig, SSJE // Friday, February 16 (6-9 p.m.) and Saturday, February 17, 2018 (9 a.m.-noon)
Retreats with the brothers of the Society of St. John the Evangelist
Each year, St. Stephen's takes a group of women to the Cambridge, Massachusetts monastery of the Society of St. John the Evangelist, or its rural guest retreat in Newburyport, Massachusetts. The 2018 retreat is full.
Every other year, one or two of the brothers lead a retreat for men and women here, usually during Lent.
Individual retreats at the monastery are also possible; visit the order's Web site for details.
The Society of St. John the Evangelist
The Society of Saint John the Evangelist is a religious order for men in the Episcopal Church. Founded in 1866, the community is celebrating its 150th year, making it the oldest men's community in the Anglican Communion. Brothers preach, teach, lead retreats and offer spiritual direction at the order's two monasteries, and engage in other ministries both locally and across the country and the world. To learn more about them, visit their website at www.ssje.org.
Parish Retreat // Shrine Mont
June 22-24, 2018 (registration is open now!)
This retreat is for families, couples, or individuals, and is suitable for all ages. It usually takes place in June, beginning with Friday supper and concluding Sunday after worship. You can read more about the parish retreat at Shrine Mont here.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd training // St. Stephen's
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Christian approach for children ages 3 to 12, based on the belief that young children can and do experience God. The work of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is done in a specially prepared environment called an atrium. Children use hands-on materials to explore and reflect on scripture, prayer, and liturgical events. Together children and adults reflect on the great mysteries of the Christian faith. Serving as a catechist (guide) in the atrium is a deeply rewarding experience for adults. The training required to serve as a Level I catechist (serving children ages 3 to 6) is available at St. Stephen's this July and the training required to serve as a Level II catechist (serving children 6-9) is available in August. These offerings are for anyone--you do not need to be a member of St. Stephen's Church, nor do you need to serve in one of our atria, to take part in this training. Adults from other churches with a Catechesis program, or considering one, are most welcome to take part. You can read more about the Level 1 training here. Level 2 training is here.
Icon Writing Workshop // St. Stephen's
Each summer, St. Stephen's Church offers a week-long workshop for those who wish to learn how to "write" (paint) an icon, as well as those who want to continue to deepen their practice. The workshop is so popular that it fills up by spring (we keep a waiting list!). Past participants in the workshop have even formed an icon "guild," and gather each Friday morning at St. Stephen's to write icons together.
The workshop is led by Suzanne Schleck, an artist, retired art teacher, and iconographer from New Jersey. The workshop takes place Monday through Friday, all day, in Sunday school classrooms here at the church. You can read more about icons, the workshop, and how to take part here.
A word about suggested donations
We suggest a donation of $25 to attend most events held at St. Stephen's Church, unless noted otherwise (week-long offerings, or offsite retreats that include lodging and meals involve greater cost, for example). The $25 donation usually covers the expenses of our bringing these outstanding writers, teachers, and thought leaders to you. We want our speakers to be accessible to all, and we know that some people will be able to donate more than $25, and others less. If you plan to pay the suggested donation, you may reserve your place online. If you prefer to pay a different amount, please stop by the parish office to register, or send a check payable to St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, to the church at 6000 Grove Avenue, Richmond, VA 23226.

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
Everyone knows that stress is bad for you, and that minimizing it is key to a long and happy life, but for me, the stakes are a bit different. Because when I get stressed out, I become incredibly, seriously ill.
I have a very rare (featured-on-an-episode-of-"House" rare) thing called
. I was diagnosed with it almost five years ago, when I was hospitalized for a month and put on a respirator while doctors tried to figure out why my organs were all shutting down. Stills affects people in myriad heinous ways, but its main jam is that it's a form of arthritis that affects your organs as well as your joints. It's easily treatable, if you know you've got it, but it's a pain in the ass. When I'm having an episode, my body essentially shuts down on me, with fevers, difficulty breathing, horrid pain.
I get episodes from any combination of the following things: an overloaded work schedule; partying too many nights in a row; several days of not getting a break to exercise and relax; having a cold and not resting; eating junk food too much; not getting enough sleep; delayed flights and lost luggage; being worried about other people; exercising too hard for a few days in a row; waiting to hear about a job I applied for; not being able to eat regularly, etc and so on.
If this list resembles your own life, that's exactly my point: It resembles
's life. Things being gonzo and nonstop is kinda what life is, and it's been hard for me to adjust to the idea that living the life that a lot of my hustling, freelancing sisters lead actually hurts me.
My life, out of necessity, resembles the life that ladymags condescendingly push on us in their "Health and Body" sections, because when I get an episode, if I do not stop everything I'm doing and just lie down for at least 2 or 3 days, I have to be hospitalized. (See above mention of month-long hospitalization.) But what I've realized is that living a less-stress life is attainable for anyone.
This doesn't mean that I don't stay up too late anymore, or that I don't eat junk food, or that I don't freak out over deadlines, it just means that if I feel those things piling up on me, I stop everything and reshuffle. You may say "Sure, that's easy for you to say," and maybe my stakes are higher, but if you make it important, reshuffling your life to ease your stress is possible for anyone. So, as un-ladymag as possible, here are a few tips that have helped me make my life less stressful.
I say no to things.
This is a big one. I have the luxury of saying no to things, justifying it in my head because it's "for my health," but the secret is that you can do it too! Too tired to go to dinner with a girl you kinda know? Don't do it! The boss wants you to take on a project that would probably get you brownie points, but you don't know how you'll find the time? Don't do it! Ultimately, you're a better friend/employee/spouse only if you're healthy enough to fulfill your duties in any of those roles. Don't ever say yes to things out of guilt and you'll find yourself feeling healthier and happier immediately.
Sleep is key above all.
Sometimes this means going to sleep early, sometimes this means shifting meetings later, but if my body needs sleep, I listen to it. And if it's particularly hard to sleep, I take sleeping pills and let God's little chemicals do the work.
I ask for help.
If I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed, I will let people know that I might need backup or might not be as able to contribute at the moment. I used to have the opinion that I could never show weakness to bosses, employees, friends, anyone -- now I realize that by letting people in and being honest about what you can and can't do, you're showing vulnerability and genius, which are very attractive qualities.
I do some sort of exercise every day.
Whether it's taking a walk for a few blocks, or dancing around my apartment to 15 minutes of songs that I've set up under the playlist "Ass Shake," or a yoga class, I make sure that I do something active every day, to keep my joints nice and loose. Bonus if you get some sun in the process.
I do time versus money calculations.
I try my best to have at least two hours per day that are "leisure time." This may mean watching RuPaul's Drag Race, or reading a book, or zoning out on the couch to whatever's on TV, or having dinner with friends, but the point is that I cannot be doing anything work or errand-related for those hours. So if I have to do laundry, go to the grocery store, and run other errands, I start making calculations: It's $10 to get groceries delivered, and I can order them while I'm at the office -- is $10 worth the 45 minutes I'd be at the store tonight, rather than relaxing? Most of the time, that answer is yes. If I can find a way to make my life more convenient for a negligible fee, I do it. I won't miss the money as much as I will miss the free time, and believe me, I'm not rich. I just see things like laundry services and Amazon Prime as things I pay for to get more of my life.
There are a million other things you can do to de-stress your life a bit, and we all know what they are (I doubt I taught you anything groundbreaking here, in fact), but what we're often missing is permission to do those things.
So if you get nothing else out of this, please have my permission to say no, to get cat food delivered to your house and to sleep 8 hours instead of waking up to have breakfast with a colleague. I do it because I have to, but the truth is, it's a requirement for all of us.

Multi-core processors arrived as a means of pushing the computer performance further. Our desktop machines and laptops keep becoming higher performaning devices. As software applications start utilizing these multiple cores effectively, the performance of these boxes we use everyday are going to become even better. Solid state devices are another set of cool things happening in the computing area that affect us directly. Cool and green as well as less noisy acoustically, these devices have started catching up ion capacity with the hard drive we have gotten used to so much.
Other boom areas continue to be mobile devices, cameras, and a host of software utilities. In my opinion, this has also been the year when eReaders (eBook readers, electronic readers, the name stands for many things at once) have caught on with the public imagination. Many predict these readers are all set to go mainstream this year during this holiday season! Christian Cawley's selection here on BrightHub has some great gadgets of 2009 reviewed. What follows are my own selections, but, clearly, general indications are predict that they are going to be very popular choices in the future.
- slide 2 of 7
eReaders are starting to become more and more popular, and it seems as though a new revolution in reading may be in the making. The screens that don't tire the eyes, portability, and specifically the ability to carry literally hundreds or even thousands of books at once are features many would find useful. You could also access, buy, and start reading a wide selection of current titles quickly, too. eReaders are so popular that there is even an iPhone app to make your iPhone function like an eReader. Amazon's Kindle gives you wireless access (free-for-life), and, so, it is doubling up as an Internet access device. Many eReaders also function as MP3 players. Being able to carry your personal library and your music collection together looks irresistible. I'd personally love to have such a device with me all the time! For students, just imagine one slim device, as shown alongside, that carries not only your prescribed textbooks but also any other references you need at the same time!
Some of the best options of these cool gadgets on the market are the Sony Reader Touch Edition and Pocket Editions and the Kindle DX and Kindle 2. The Kindle's wireless access, however, makes it a better choice. The Kindle also has sixteen grey-shades versus the eight on the Sony, making the display slightly better as well. And, the Kindle 2 might be the best value for money at $259 on Amazon. A touch-screen version is hopefully just around the corner.

Mobile Phones: Smartphones
While the iPhone 3GS was a big hit, it has also started seeing some real competition this year. T-Mobile introduced a couple of variants (myTouch 3G and G1), and HTC introduced the Hero, which runs Google's Android platform (Cawley likes the HTC HD 2), but the most exciting choice is the Palm Pre. After spending most of the latter part of this decade watching its dominance in the market disappear, Palm seems to have spent a lot of time seriously considering what's important. What they have come up with is no technological milestone but does have a superb user-centric design. Ergonomic hardware design and an intuitive multi-touch screen interface makes it a winner, and its popularity is likely to go up and up in 2010. A great deal, the Palm Pre is currently selling at $79.99 with a Sprint contract.Smartphones like the Palm Pre and others are one of the coolest categories of gadgets you can get your hands on. Applications available on these gadgets make them very desirable indeed.

Cool Computer Gadgets of 2009: Hardware, Software, and Camerias Multi-core processor chips that have cool turbo feature that lets automatic over-clocking to happen a hyper-threading that can run applications faster are some hot features to the Intel processors. AMD is filling in with an innovative three core chip that sits at a nice price performance point. SSD devices are likely to become mainstream soon. Once they catch up with the capacity of HDDs the cool, green and silent nature of the drives will surely win the top spot. Seagate Replica and the Nikon camera with a projector are cool twists to almost vanilla products. So, if you are planning to buy some cool computer gadgets, here are some pointers to them.
- slide 5 of 7
Hardware: Multi-cores and SSDs
Intel's core i7 processors continue to push the boundaries of multi-tasking performance. It has a Turbo Boost (automatic over-clocking) and Hyper-Threading. Besides the multiple cores, these features push the performance frontier some more. Think of cool tools for power use, maybe even for gaming with the right graphic cards! Competitor AMD is not quite able to keep up in the performance computing area. They have focused only on a number of lower to mid-range solutions with the Phenom II double-core and quad-core variants. Price continues to be AMD's advantage. AMD's triple-core Athlon seems to be its answer for the low-end market, a proper cool compromise between price and performance.
With Intel's X25-M 160GB, the SSD is finally shaping up to compete with the HDD. Laptops and Netbooks are already starting to ship with SSDs (making them lighter and more robust). Think security and (eventually) dropping prices, and you have inevitability!
- slide 6 of 7
Software and Web Utilities
As in any year, there were a huge selection of software utilities, many of them web-based. Google Docs continues to grow and become more user-friendly and so does Google Chrome, but the finest offering from Google is undoubtedly Google Voice. Google Voice is a single number for all your phones (landline/cellular), and there is a web-based application. Among other things, it sends you a transcript of your voicemail messages. The only downside is that the application is currently available only in the US.
Microsoft finally made a dent into the search market with Bing. Bing has a ravishing interface, featuring pictures of exotic locales and nature (with link tiles for more information regarding what you are seeing). Search results are automatically categorized based on the given query, and search performance tends to improve with longer keyword combinations: more raw-material for its Decision Engine.
- slide 7 of 7
Cameras are another cool gadget of 2009. Some are really cool, and there is nothing to beat a DSLR for the true enthusiast and professionals. Butm the Nikon Coolpix S1000PJ is worth a mention very clearly. This comes with a very convenient cool gadget combination. The PJ stands for the built-in projector that can be used to project images to a wall for easy viewing. The camera is not bulky or anything, just like another digital camera! For the camera buff, this is a 12.1 MP camera, nothing to scoff at. It also has a 5x wide angle stabilized zoom!
The Seagate Replica is an automated backup solution that backs up everything (including the OS), as soon as you plug it in, and it remains: if your PC crashes, it'll bring it back up, exactly as it was before. Even making allowances for data transfer time, you still enjoy freedom from the hassles of reinstallation/restoration. And, it is reasonably priced, too, at just $118.99. Just one USB connection and you are totally insured. Backup and restore; darg, drop, and restore; and password protection of your drive are some notable features. That's a very cool way to keep your computer safe!

Two theaterical productions are underway this weekend in Crescent City: "Women in Jeopardy" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Found Agate Theatre presents "Women in Jeopardy," a fast-paced comedy of errors by Wendy McLeod starring Kirsten Randrup, Ruthe Rhodes, Jessica Niemi, Anthony Trombetti and Sonia Cuellar-Cobb.
"Women in Jeopardy" is a statement about the way society looks at images of women, Randrup said, who directed the play along with Ron Cole.
"It's about three friends in their 40s and they're all divorced," Randrup said. "One gets a new boyfriend and the other two don't like him. They suspect he may have a dark (secret) and they feel their friend needs protection and help. I'm going to play the friend with the boyfriend."
Meanwhile, Lighthouse Repertory Theatre tackles Edward Albee's classic play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Susan Daugherty and Howard Patterson play middle-aged married couple Martha and George who draw younger couple Nick and Honey into their bitter relationship. Steven Scruggs and Elizabeth Coburn play Nick and Honey.
According to director Kurt Kurtis, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" begins with Martha and George's bickering with each other and it gets worse as the play goes on.
"You don't know what's real and what's not," he said. "It's an actor's play. There's 111 pages of dialog between four people."
Although rehearsals have been held in the Ben Franklin building for about six weeks, the actors have been learning and practicing their lines for nearly four months, Daugherty said.
Daugherty said her character, Martha, who has been portrayed on the big screen by Elizabeth Taylor, spent her life trying to impress her father. Martha wants to show her father that even though she's not male, she's still bright and capable and tries to gain his approval by marrying George.
Even though George ultimately turns out to disappoint Martha, Daugherty said, there is still genuine affection and love between the two, but the audience can't always see it.
"She's a complex character," Daugherty said.
Kurtis added that most actresses want to play Martha at some point in their careers.
"She's a bucket list character," he said. "The same for George."
Kurtis called "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" one of the great plays of the American stage and said LRT's production is a tribute to Albee, who died in 2016. He also added that people seeing the play for the first time shouldn't expect it to be the same as the 1966 film adaptation, which also starred Richard Burton as George.
"The movie is dark and depressing," he said. "The comedy didn't shine as much as in the play."
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" plays is the Ben Franklin building at 1072 Third St. in Crescent City.
Performances are at 6:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Jan. 27. Tickets are $15 for general admission and $10 for students and seniors and available at Del Norte Office Supply in Crescent City or at the door.
"Women in Jeopardy" plays at Pacific Northwest Physical Therapy, 225 I St., Crescent City. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays through Jan. 28. Tickets are $15 general admission or $12 for students and senior citizens and available at Del Norte Office Supply. For more information, call 512-289-0086.

Mary Ryder
Mary Ryder was born in Norwich, Vermont. Shortly thereafter she became active in art since it was something she could do until the earth thawed. "There was hardly a time when she wasn't drawing." says her Mom, "we would leave her alone for days with a box of crayons and when we got back she'd still be there!"
During college she worked as an archeological draftsman in Colonial Williamsburg since it combined her love of using ink and digging in the dirt. She also worked in a traditional wooden boat yard which wasn't all that artistic but allowed her to work with power tools and toxic paints and was very cool.
After college, she worked for many years as an artist/art director at a graphic design studio in San Francisco which afforded her the opportunity to design, art direct photo shoots, press proof, do client contact work, eat good food and pay for her apartment. She moved to Honolulu, HI and worked in the art department of Bank of Hawaii, did freelance designs and logos for a surf board builder, a manufacturer of beach towels and a bikini company. Really!
Back in Virginia, Mary worked at an ad agency in Old Town doing design and production work which kept her from thinking about how much she would rather be in San Francisco or Hawaii. She freelanced for the Department of Education.
After her son was born, her artistic energies took a back seat and were diverted into home made Play-Doh and bizarre and inappropriate marzipan objects. After living overseas with her family for many years, Mary returned to Virginia and plunged back into art and nearly drowned in book binding, painting, printmaking, life drawing, graphite, pastel, charcoal, anything that would leave a mark….she retains a love for the bizarre and marzipan.

Jones, Montgomery will go seperate ways
By Rudy Coggins
Published in Sports on February 17, 2011 1:47 PM
The lasting impression Andre Montgomery and Freddie Jones have left on Goldsboro High School's football program stretches well beyond wins, conference championships, touchdowns and rushing yards.
Cougars' head coach Eric Reid described the dynamic running back duo as, "a pillar in our program."
On Wednesday, Montgomery and Jones took the next step in their football careers by signing national letters-of-intent with Fayetteville State and Johnson C. Smith, respectively.
Montgomery and Jones combined to rush for 8,774 yards and scored 126 touchdowns. Goldsboro went 32-10-1 with two Carolina 1-A Conference championships and three straight playoff appearances during their three seasons on the varsity level.
"These two young men were the key to us coming back to respectability," said Reid. "They are two fine young men. I knew I never had to worry about classroom problems or problems out in the community. They are very mature, humble individuals to be as talented as they are."
Montgomery joins Goldsboro teammates Jarran Reed and Michael Sykes, who recently signed with Fayetteville State. A family atmosphere in the Broncos' program and the opportunity to compete against Jones in the CIAA attracted Montgomery to Fayetteville State.
The Broncos finished 5-5 in 2010 including a 4-3 mark in conference play.
"It's going to be fun to play with Jarran and Michael for another four years," said Montgomery. "It impacted my decision a lot. I know that I'll know someone there. That program is a family and in the school there's a lot of one-on-one teaching and smaller classes."
A Shrine Bowl selection this past season, Montgomery finished his career with 4, 710 rushing yards on 503 carries and 64 touchdowns. He rushed for 100 yards or more in 23 games and had 19 games with two or more touchdowns.
"Playing at Goldsboro helped me a lot," said Montgomery. "I feel like my vision on the field and hitting holes quickly has really improved. At the beginning of my career I was looking up to Hykeem Coley and Anthony Council, and that really drove me."
Jones saw the opportunity to play at Johnson C. Smith rather than following his teammates to Fayetteville State as a chance to create a fresh start. The Golden Bulls went 2-8 in 2010 with a 1-6 record in conference play.
"I felt like it was time to make a new start," said Jones. "I felt like it was time for me to go somewhere where nobody knows me and I can come and show I have talent. And, I get to play against three of my old teammates."
Jones rushed for 4,064 yards on 429 yards and 62 touchdowns in his career at Goldsboro. He had 21 games of 100 yards or more and 18 games with two more touchdowns.
A long-time friend with Montgomery, Jones relishes the memories the two have made and the challenge of competing in the same conference for the next four seasons.
"I know Andre is going to call me after every game and tell me how he did and I'm going to call him and tell him how I did," said Jones. "If he did better than I did, the next game I'm still going to have to try to do better than him. When we play against each other, that's when it's really going to show.
"Andre made me better than I was before, and he was the one that made me push myself and make myself better."

William Hoover has resigned as Deputy Director from the ATF because of the scathing report put out by Republicans detailing his role in Operation Fast & Furious. Mr. Hoover stood by and allowed guns to keep walking to Mexican drug cartels instead of intervening.
Mr. Hoover was the ATF's deputy director from 2009-2011 before being reassigned once Fast & Furious became public. The report put together by Representative Darrell Issa and Senator Charles Grassley states Mr. Hoover did not intervene in Fast & Furious because he felt it was not his job to say anything.
No one within the Department of Justice has been held responsible for the deadly consequences of Fast & Furious. They've either been allowed to resign quietly like Mr. Hoover or are "reassigned" to new positions.
Criminals used guns from Fast & Furious to murder Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and 300+ Mexicans, including Mario Gonzalez, brother of then-State Attorney General Patricia Gonzalez. 1,400 of the 2,000+ guns are still missing.

Mites 1
It was an early morning start for the Mite 1 team, who joined forces with Mite 2 team for their first full-ice game of season, on Saturday, losing to the Lower Cape Coyotes 4-2. In the first period, Juni Suarez scored the initial goal for Gateway, tying the game. After a scoreless second period, Brendan Burke got the go-ahead goal on a breakaway in the third period, but the Coyotes tied it up and then moved ahead. Later that same day the Mite 1 team beat Plymouth in a half-ice game in Falmouth. Kaden Schultz played goalie for the first time at this higher level and was assisted by the swarming defense that kept Plymouth to single digits. Lucas DeMoranville was awarded the game puck for his marked improvement in all-around play.
Mites 2
The Mites 2 played a hard-fought game vs Hetland on Saturday, suffering a double-digit loss. David Medeiros kept the teams spirits up, scoring both of the goals. Goalie Kaden Schults faced 50+ shots as he tried to keep the team in the game.
Squirt 1: Ice Wolves
The Gateway Ice Wolves played two games on Saturday, winning both. In their first game, they faced a tough Weymouth team, beating them 5-1, with five different players scoring goals. Jack Martins got the scoring started and Thomas Galavotti, Seth Tomasik, Quirino doCanto each added a goal. Robert Maloney finished up the scoring, with what had to be one of the nicest executed goals of the season.
In the second game of the day, this time against YD, the Ice Wolves had a win on their minds, and played their best game of the season, winning 8-5, its first victory in the Cape League. Leading the way was Johnny Rodrigues, who earned the "Game Puck", for his outstanding play on defense. Offensively, Tyler Lovendale scored 5 goals and Quirino doCanto 3 goals. Bryan Gallagher had 3 assists from defense.
Squirts 2: Sharks
The Gateway Sharks and the Lower Cape Coyotes played 50 minutes of scoreless hockey Sunday. Despite the best efforts of the Shark forward, the team was unable to put one in the goal. Fortunately, a solid performance by the defenseman, combined with the stellar play of goalie Thomas Galavotti, the Sharks were able to prevent the Coyotes from scoring as well, securing a rare 0-0 tie.
PeeWee Gladiators
The Gateway Gladiators were celebrating the holidays early with their first win in December, defeating the Lower Cape Coyotes 4-1 Sunday at Hetland. Playing from behind once again, Tyler Lovendale netted two goals, Noah Demoranville also added a short-handed wrist shot that beat the Coyote goalie's glove to the top corner. Jake Demoranville tallied his first-ever youth hockey goal, by tucking in a beautiful backhand. Both Gladiator goalies played strong in net. Zack Pateakos earned his fourth shut-out of the season, due in part to the effort of Jared Westgate in eliminating a possible Coyote breakaway late in the game.
The Bantam team kept the winning streak alive by defeating Pembroke Saturday morning 5-3. Gateway had control of the puck most of the game and showed some great passing and defense in not allowing Pembroke to cross over the blue line very often. Scoring goals for Gateway were Will Paling, Alex Atkinson, Brian Holmes, Sean Kelso, and Mat St.John. Alex Atkinson had two assists. Chase Cunningham and Tegan Andre once again had a great day in net.
Middle School
The Wareham Vikings Middle School team toughed it out for another victory Friday night over Canton 7-5 in Foxborough. Cam DeMarco started things off with a bang, scoring a goal two minutes in. Canton answered with a goal of their own, a rebound off the post after Gateway goalie AJ Bridges had made several nice saves in succession.
With three minutes left in the first, Connor Kelley found the net on a deflection.
Gateway started the second with nice pass from Alex Hathaway to Kelley resulting in a goal by Will Paling. Canton came back fighting, firing several shots on Bridges and scoring two quick goals to tie it up. After a goalie change, Gateway went on the offensive. A nice pass from Alex Hathaway to Kelley resulted in a goal by Will Paling. Paling returned the favor, assisting Kelley in a goal. Another pass from Doug Breault Jr to Paling to Kelley completed his hat trick for the night.
Gateway spent the remainder of the game in penalty trouble, but rose to the challenge with strong defense and goaltending. On the wrong end of a 5-3 power play, Sean Kelso was able to take a breakaway to the net, bringing the score to 6-3 Gateway. Kelso added another as Gateway closed out Canton, 7-5.

A surge in large scale resort and real estate development threatens the delicate desert and coastal environments of Baja California Sur, Mexico. The 'Disappearing Landscapes' series, seeks to document and memorialize the landscape before it disappears. This selection of images was collected from the desert landscape surrounding Punto Lobos. The stunning coastline of Punta Lobos, Baja, is the future site of a colossal real estate development intended to accommodate 11,000 tourists and an unspecified number of support staff. The project borders the community of Todos Los Santos, population 6,500. Water is a scarce resource in a desert environment. This location has long provided food and economic sustenance for the local Ejido fishing cooperative, and it serves as habitat for migratory animals. The project requires the acquisition of water rights, the diversion of the aquifer, the construction of a desalination plant and the disruption of coastal and desert ecosystems.

She's A Maneater returns for Fontainbleu Trophy
She's A Maneater , the emphatic 2017 Triple Crown-winning filly, returns to competitive racing after an 84-day break to compete in a three-year-old and upward Open Allowance call for the Fontainbleu Trophy illuminant at Caymanas Park today.
Eleven races are carded, with the Fontainbleu feature attracting a field of 11 starters going seven and a half furlongs (1,500m) for a purse of $1.15 million at approximately 4:35 pm. The first post is at 11:40 am.
She's A Maneater is one of three fillies entered in the race dominated by male horses. Nonetheless the super filly, with her favourite jockey Omar Walker up, should have little problem dispatching this field, although there is the presence of the in form five-year-old bay horse Another Bullet, to be ridden by Dick Cardenas.
Prepared by champion trainer Wayne DaCosta, She's A Maneater enters the race on a roll, with six consecutive wins. Her only blip was a three-parts-of-a-length loss to the Anthony Nunes-trained Sotomayor in the rich, Jamaica Two-year-old Stakes in December of last year.
Bred and owned by Winston Kong, She's A Maneater looks to be prepared well enough to continue her winning ways. She has already accounted for all and sundry present and it should take a competitor's smart performance or a racing mishap for her to fail over a distance that she is comfortable with.
Ordinarily, this would be a cakewalk for the filly, but with so many fit and light horses present, a relay race could ensue and make her work much harder than necessary.
Another Bullet, whom she has beaten several times, had a nice, front-running exercise in his last race 10 days ago. He has, however, discarded his visor, and that suggests he is coming to put out maximum effort.
There is also his stablemate Dwayne Star (jockey Robert Halledeen), who will enjoy the byplay. Dwayne Star scored a notable win over the distance in a pretty decent time of 1:32.0 minutes, after leaving the gates like a scared rat scurrying for cover.
This is a distance that would ideally suit Market Force. A decently bred colt by Adore The Gold out of the Alphabet Soup mare You Can't Hide, Market Force, though not very exciting in his exercise gallops, could have a hand in the finish. He only has a feature of 50.0kg (110 lb) to tote and the in form apprentice Anthony Thomas is astride.
Orpheus, the nicely bred Adore The Gold chestnut colt, begins to look himself once more with a good win over six furlongs (1,200m) on last. Orpheus is expected to be calling on the top filly at the tail end of the race, especially being nicely in at the weights with 52.0kg (115 lb), and top lightweight jockey Wesley Henry remaining in the saddle.
Ones To Watch:
Race 1 &empmargin;Movie Star, Gold Rum, The Illusionist
Race 2 &empmargin;Jamaica Citizen, Magical Selecta, Fourthousand

The alternator plays a crucial role under the bonnet of your car. It converts the mechanical energy of the car's rotating crankshaft into electricity through a process of induction; put simply, it sends power to all the electrical elements of your vehicle.
One of the alternator's main functions is to keep your car battery charged, and so a car which is difficult or slow to start can be a sign of a faulty alternator. It also provides power to operate the car's lights and other electrical accessories. Therefore lights that seem too dim or blink erratically, and the red battery light glowing on the dash, are all signs that your alternator needs checking out.
Smart Automobile is a company headquartered in Böblingen, Germany, that has marketed a range of microcar and subcompact vehicles. Marketed in 46 countries across Asia, North and South America, Africa, Australia and Europe, the design concept for the company's automobiles was first developed at Mercedes in the early 1970s and in the late 1980s. It was quite a lengthy gestation period, and the first model was finally launched by Daimler-Benz in 1998. Several variants on the original design have been introduced, with the original two-seater (called the Fortwo) now in its third generation and the Smart now being available as a fully electric offering.
The brand name Smart derives from its early cooperative studies with Swatch and Mercedes: Swatch Mercedes ART - although we have to say, it does make it a bit difficult to search online with a name like that! Overall, it is a very specialised company that builds ultra-compact cars, designed to carry up to four passengers through congested city streets with ease.
How can you save money (and the environment) while you drive?
As every garage owner will tell you, there are some tried and tested ways to cut down on your petrol costs (and consumption) while you're out and about in Heathfield or beyond. One is to shut your windows. If you can hear that wind noise in your car it's costing you more to drive. This is because the car becomes less aerodynamic and has to work harder to motor along. Removing a roof rack will improve your fuel efficiency for the same reason. Another useful tip is to combine short trips into one; each time you drive after your car has been parked for a while the engine will be cold and need to use a lot more fuel for the first 5 miles or so. If you do one trip from school drop-off to supermarket to office you'll use far less fuel than if you do all those trips individually.

What is Information Technology?
Information technology, or IT, is the part of the engineering field that deals with the transmission, retrieval, and storage of data using computers or computer networks as well as telephones, cell phones, and televisions. Information technology is most commonly associated with the manufacture, distribution, and maintenance of computer hardware and software, electronic devices, and equipment used in telecommunications. Some of the tasks that information technology specialists may perform include setting up computer networks, installing hardware or software, creating and installing security systems for networking, or providing troubleshooting support.
The online Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice at Gardner-Webb University provides a broad overview of the legal system, from law enforcement to the corrections process, and will prepare you for an array of specialized careers involving the discipline. Graduates are prepared to work in law enforcement and security, legal assistance and research, juvenile justice and counseling, internet security, and loss and prevention.
Find Information Technology Programs in Your State:
Information Technology and the Criminal Justice System
Widespread access to computers and the Internet have made combating virtual crime increasingly problematic for law enforcement. Incorporating information technology into various aspects of the criminal justice system has made it easier for local, state, and federal agencies to share information and work cooperatively to detect and deter criminal behavior online. For example, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Criminal Justice Information Services Division uses information technology to maintain a national fingerprint identification system, provide criminal background check services nationwide, and maintain national databases on crime statistics. Law enforcement agencies at all levels rely on information technology to aid in the detection and deterrence of a wide range of crimes, including human trafficking, computer hacking, the distribution of child pornography, and cyber terrorism.
IT Careers in Criminal Justice
Information technology specialists may be employed by law enforcement agencies, the courts, or the corrections system at the local, state, or federal level. There are a number of different career paths to choose from within the criminal justice-IT field. Computer forensics, for examples, deals with the investigation of computer crime. Depending on the type of crime that's been committed, a computer forensic specialist may be asked to recover files or data from a computer for use as evidence, investigate instances of illegal entry into a computer system, or analyze media files in varying formats. At the state and local levels, IT technicians may be responsible for establishing and maintaining websites for government agencies, assisting in maintaining criminal databases such as a sex offender registry, or maintaining computer systems and networks on-site at police departments, prisons, or court offices.

Completing a Degree in Criminal Justice Information Technology
If you're interested in pursuing a career in criminal justice information technology, you'll need a comprehensive educational background in both fields. You could choose to major in one subject and minor in the other, complete a double major in both criminal justice and information technology, or look for a program that offers a combined criminal justice IT degree. Regardless of which route you choose, the types of courses you'll need to complete will generally be the same. In terms of criminal justice, you can expect to take classes in policing, corrections, criminal law, criminology, criminal procedure, and juvenile justice. The degree requirements for information technology may include classes in networking, information security, programming, web design, and multimedia technology.

U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa has joined U.S. Rep. George Holding in calling for a federal investigation of the Raleigh Housing Authority.
Grassley and Holding voiced concerns about the agency director's use of comp time in a three-page letter sent Thursday to the secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
"We are concerned that the RHA – a HUD 'high performer' – allows its executive director, Steve Beam, to be on paid vacation from the housing authority for nearly three months a year to pursue his outside hobbies and interests," the two Republicans wrote in the letter.
Grassley and Holding cite recent News & Observer reports that Beam has been using a combination of vacation, sick and comp days each year – in part to pursue a side business as a well-respected magician specializing in card tricks. He travels to magic conferences across the country, often using comp time accrued by working beyond the standard 7.5-hour workday. In recent years, he has taken up to 20 comp days a year.
"This benefit is extremely unusual for such a highly paid manager, and Mr. Beam has used it to rack up over four months of paid vacation from 2010 to the present," the letter states. "In fact, because of Mr. Beam's unique 7.5-hour workday, over the course of one year he accrues an additional two weeks of comp time simply by working a traditional eight-hour day."
Beam – whose annual compensation has reached as high as $280,000 – has full support from his city-appointed board. He is one of the highest-paid housing directors in the country, and his pay is higher than the managers of Raleigh and Wake County, who oversee much larger budgets and staffs. Beam's agency manages 5,700 public housing units for low-income residents and has an annual budget of $50 million.
Holding, a first-term congressman from Raleigh, announced Monday that he had requested a federal audit of the Raleigh Housing Authority because of the director's pay and time off.
The congressional interest in the housing authority's practices comes as the agency's board has scheduled two closed-door meetings to discuss a "confidential personnel matter," according to meeting notices. The first meeting was held Monday; the second is scheduled for next Thursday.
Raleigh City Councilwoman Mary-Ann Baldwin said she met recently with Beam and several board members to discuss her own concerns. She said she was "disturbed" by Beam's use of comp time, and she asked the board to reconsider its policies, which do not include any restrictions on how the time can be used.
"They were going to look at the comp time issue and also look at what the city's policies were, and see if they align with what we do," she said.
The city's policy allows salaried employees to bank up to 70 comp hours at a time, but there's no limit to how many comp days can be used annually.
Baldwin said she also urged the board members to consider limiting themselves to two five-year terms. But she said she has no problem with Beam's salary reaching $280,000, even though the leaders of much larger housing authorities earn less.
Baldwin pointed to Beam's decades of experience and successes at the agency. "Looking at the big picture, they changed my thoughts on the salary issue," she said of her meeting.
But Grassley said he sees the salary numbers differently. In 2012, the five-term senator successfully pushed Congress to limit the federal government's share for a director's salary to no more than $155,500. Raleigh and other housing authorities avoid that cap by using other revenue sources to cover pay.
"At numerous housing authorities around the country, executive salaries and perks appear higher on the priority list than maintaining and providing quality housing," Grassley said in a news release Thursday. "HUD needs to exert more oversight to make sure housing authorities spend taxpayer dollars appropriately. As President Obama wants to help low-income Americans, he could start by making sure housing funding is spent as intended and not wasted on largess for housing authority executives."
In the letter to HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, Grassley and Holding demand a series of explanations and documents and set a deadline of Jan. 24 for the agency to respond. The requests include:
• "An explanation for why Mr. Beam is allowed to accumulate up to three weeks of comp time while working less than the standard 40-hour workweek."
• "An explanation for how RHA is deemed a 'high performer' when the executive director is away from the office for nearly three months per year."
• A list of the annual compensation packages for all housing authority employees, including bonuses, vacation and comp time.
• Travel records for all agency employees and board members.
• Documentation detailing Beam's "use of RHA office equipment to conduct non-RHA business." The lawmakers took issue with Beam's posts to an online magic forum during business hours, writing in the letter that the leader "still uses government-funded time to indulge his interest in magic tricks."

In addition to regularly scheduled liturgies, the chapel is typically open six days a week, Saturday through Thursday from 1-4 p.m., for pilgrimage and visitation; all are welcome. Conversely, the chapel is closed on Fridays, holidays, and in consideration of occasional special events and celebrations; for a complete schedule, check the Calendar page.
Additionally, the Fr. Mollinger Museum and Chapel Shop, located across the street from the chapel, is typically open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 1-4 p.m., and in conjunction with most pre-arranged group pilgrimages.
There is no cost to visit the chapel, though goodwill offerings are greatly appreciated; they serve as the chapel's sole source of funds to offset its operating expenses. Additionally, we humbly petition a donation of $3 for the lighting of a votive candle.
Ample free parking is available in the lot across the street and the chapel is wheelchair accessible.
By and large, chapel tours are offered or made available during the chapel's normal hours of visitation.
Weekdays: By default, weekday tours are self-guided via an audio tour; for those pilgrims and visitors who are unable to access the audio tour from a smartphone, a limited number of portable audio players featuring the audio tour will be made in the chapel. Groups of five (5) or more seeking a docent-led weekday tour may pre-arrange one by calling 412-999-4401 at least one week before the desired date.
Weekends: Weekend tours are almost always docent-led and typically begin at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., though, depending on need and/or traffic, are subject to deviate from that norm; please know that our dedicated volunteer docents do their absolute best to accommodate the individual needs of each and every pilgrim and visitor.
While tours are free, a suggested offering of $5/person is greatly appreciated.
Groups of ten (10) or more seeking a dedicated, docent-led tour – in particular, on a day or at a time beyond those of the chapel's normal hours of visitation – may arrange one by calling 412-999-4401 at least one week in advance of the group's planned visit. At the same time, please let us know of any special needs the group may have and/or other considerations so that we can do our best to ensure that a joyous and grace-filled experience is had by all members of the group. We strive to accommodate as many group requests as possible.
Important: Groups arriving by bus must follow our special driving instructions.
In addition to its general availability, the chapel is available to parishes and other groups for private liturgies and events, as well as weddings. To learn more, please call 412-999-4401.
