SAN ANTONIO – The UT Tyler Patriots are not messing around at the ITA Southwest Regional Championships.
In singles and doubles play, three of the four semifinalists are from UT Tyler going into Sunday's final day at Trinity University.
Arthur Fagundes, who is the defending champion, is on to the singles semis along with Daniel Rodriguez and Vinicio Hadlich. Fagundes is the top-ranked player in the tournament and advanced with wins over opponents from Trinity and UT Dallas and will now play Alex Hunt who is from Hardin-Simmons on Sunday in the semis. Hadlich advanced to the semis with a 5-7, 7-6, 6-2 win over Southwestern's Alexis Dimanche who was the second seed in the tournament. Hadlich will play Rodriguez in an all-UT Tyler semi after Rodriguez knocked off teammate Gabriel Hidalgo with a 6-3, 6-4 quarter final win. Hidalgo had earned a 7-5, 6-4 win over Trinity's Wilson Lambeth in the quarters and Rodriguez a win over a Southwestern opponent.
The singles semis will be followed by the championship which will send the winner to the ITA national tournament.
In doubles play, Rodriguez and Hidalgo continue their quest for a regional title on Saturday after earning an 8-4 win over Southwestern on Saturday and will face Austin College on Sunday. On the other side of the bracket, it's all UTT with Fagundes and Pablo Gomez earning an 8-6 win over UTD's Chen/Vaithianathan facing Hadlich and Jose McIntyre. Hadlich/McIntyre took an 8-5 quarterfinal win over Southwestern's Dimanche/Gideon on Saturday.

Peter Golden is an award-winning journalist, historian, and novelist. His new book, Wherever There Is Light by Atria Books, delves into the little known history of the rescue of German Jews from the Nazis by traditionally African-American colleges. The book is described as a "love story that's epic and truly felt". Peter and nine critically acclaimed authors were featured at the Women's National Book Association Charlotte's 7th Annual "BIBLIOFEAST" Book & Author Dinner on Mon., Oct. 17.
Time moves, and I find myself, frequently against my will, moving right along with it. I'm a different husband than I used to be, a different father, and a different writer. Where my family is concerned, I'm different because in so many ways, large and small, what your loved ones need from you changes with the passing years. Yet I'm a different writer because the reasons I write have shifted, leaving me to marvel at how naive I once was and, I'm happy to say, how dedicated I have remained to the craft.
As a young teenager, long before I began writing seriously, it occurred to me that I had only one life and writing would enable me to enter worlds that were closed off to me—from pitching in a World Series at Yankee Stadium to residing in eighteenth-century Williamsburg or serving as your newly elected president.
By the end of college, I was familiar with Henry David Thoreau's observation that most people wind up mired in quiet desperation, and since I was philosophically opposed to sustained misery, I started writing on a daily schedule. Thanks to the enchanting gift the young possess for self-deception, I soon convinced myself that writing was an effective method for bending reality in my preferred direction. Absolutely ridiculous, I know. And in my case, absolutely true.
Less than ten years later, I was earning a living by writing, and I knew that I was lucky to go to an office in my own house and pay my bills by doing work I enjoyed. Still, money, like love, is usually something you think about only if you don't have enough, and although by my thirties I felt relatively secure in my career, on occasion I asked myself why I got up every morning to face a blank page.
Honestly, I'm not sure I had a good answer to that question back then.
Now, after writing almost every day of my life for over thirty-five years, here is what I discovered: nothing, other than the joys of family and friends, gives me more pleasure than writing a sentence that informs me emotionally or intellectually. Of course, I hope others are touched or informed by that sentence. But if not, at least I tried.
And I wrote the sentence.
Peter Golden was born in Newark, New Jersey and grew up in the suburbs of South Orange and Maplewood, New Jersey, where he graduated from Columbia High School. He attended Ohio University for two years then transferred to SUNY Albany, graduating with a BA in Philosophy. He lives in Guilderland, New York, with his wife, a communication professor at University at Albany.

"itty-bitty nursery" book
What a lovely surprise to come home today and find a package from Jennifer of the Craftsanity podcast. I entered her drawing to win "itty-bitty nursery" by Susan B Anderson (check out the interview here) around January sometime and had completely forgotten about it. Apparently I won the book! It was mailed at the beginning of last month but I had my mail on hold while I was on vacation and just got the last of it today.
It's really so adorable and whimsical. I don't know many babies but the knitted toys are awfully cute. Thank you so much Jennifer!!! I love the little creatures and the tea set. These are items I think I would have really liked as a kid too. How fun would it be to wear those slippers (below)?
I'm slowly adjusting to life back at home. I really got out of the habit of blogging and even reading blogs. Sorry. I'll get back into it I think it will just take a little while. I have been doing a lot of knitting though so I should have some things to post soon.

I'm a Nerf fanatic. I'm also a Judge Dredd fanatic. My dream is to one day see a Nerf version of the Lawgiver. Since that's not happening any time soon and I doubt Hasbro has any plans to make customizable multi-ammunition magazines (though Nerf Vortex discs can be banked off walls like ricochet rounds), here is the Nerf Mega Magnus. It's just a giant Nerf pistol that shoots giant Nerf Mega darts. It's pretty rad.
This is the second Mega blaster from Nerf, and it's much better than the Centurion sniper rifle, a bulky, imposing rifle that didn't fire reliably. The Magnus is smaller and simpler, and still fires multiple rounds.
Instead of a giant clip like the Centurion uses, the Mega darts pop into an internal three-shot magazine built into the Magnus' barrel itself. This means lower capacity but faster reloading. It fires far, possibly the farthest I've seen a Nerf pistol shoot. It's also, big, red, and imposing, so you can at least pretend it's a Lawgiver. Now I just need the helmet. And badge. And chin.
Nerf is putting out a Mega dart bow this summer. It will fire the same giant red darts, but use a bow-style action. It also won't use the Centurion clips, so we can assume for the time being that Hasbro has decided to drop the magazine-fed idea for Mega darts and focus on built-in mechanisms for multiple rounds. Each time you pull back and fire, the bow launches another dart from its row of five separate slits for them. I'll tackle that one when it comes out.

20 years ago my Mom, Cindy, decided to open her own small business. In the past 20 years Baby Go Round, with my Mom at the helm, has grown and flourished and has been able to provide a job for her daughter (me), daughter-in-law (Andrea), Niece (Briana), and many other family members and employees-turned-friends over the years. She has created a truly special place where Mothers (and Fathers)-to-be can see, test out, and learn about the best products on the market for their growing families. We are lucky, we work in a great place. We work in a happy business. We owe that to our customers. We also owe that to my Mom.
Mom, you rock.
I am lucky enough to work with my Mom on a near daily basis. I often take that for granted. My kids get to see their Grandmother almost everyday. They don't know how lucky they are. My Mom made all that possible. She is a supportive, caring, generous, beautiful person and parent. I can only hope that I can provide the kinds of opportunities for my kids as my Mother has provided me. I can only hope that my kids will someday be as proud of me as I am proud of my Mom.
Mom, Happy Mother's Day. Thanks for…well, everything. I couldn't ask for a better Mom, "Cici", or partner. Thanks for all that you do and all that you have made possible for us.
To all you Moms out there, Happy Mother's Day. I hope you were all able to spend it being celebrated and appreciated. You deserve it.

Revenge of the Nerd Ch. 74byrpsuch©
It may be silly, but it has long been considered bad luck for the groom to see the bride on their wedding day before the ceremony.
You would have thought it was bad luck to see each other for a week or two before by the way my family conducted themselves during that period.
We had relatives to dinner every night. There was no prohibition against inviting Jeff, but they monopolized my time to such an extent I rarely saw him after dinner.
I invited Jen and Rich a few times so he would have someone to talk to while waiting for me to become available. I didn't know what he did on the other nights.
During dinner he would respond to people talking to him, but he was reserved. He told me he was trying to put it all together to figure out what my father's plan was. I continued to argue there didn't seem to be a plan.
I found out, because he told me, he had been spending time talking with Sabrina. He said she was a friendly person and pleasant to talk with. She was also asking his advice about what she should do when she graduated. She asked questions about various professions and what kind of training would be required.
From his description of their encounters, I suspected the reality was she was hitting on him. She was good enough at it that, even if Jeff had been a normal guy, he probably would not have recognized it. In any event, it seemed harmless enough.
We were arguing more than usual. I attributed it to wedding jitters.
"I don't understand how you can even consider working for your father," Jeff said. "With the stuff he's pulled, aren't you even a little suspicious of his motives?"
"He thinks he's gotten a lot of what he wanted. Maybe he won't be able to marry me off to somebody he sees as useful to him, but he'll still be able to take advantage of my looks and personality."
"From what you've told me and what I've seen of him, he doesn't strike me as the type to settle for a consolation prize in a situation he is likely to see as a resounding defeat."
"Gee, thanks. I'm a consolation prize." I was miffed.
"Having you work for him is a consolation prize compared to breaking us up. And his failure to break us up, so far, is a resounding defeat."
"What do you mean by 'so far'? Is there something you're not telling me?"
"No. It's something I've just told you, but you choose to disregard."
"Oh, so now you know my father better than I do."
"I'm just telling you to be cautious."
"Right." But it was not an expression of agreement.
Jeff was annoyed. I was angry. I didn't realize at the time it had just become a fight I had to win, not because I was right, but because I had a need to win fights. I didn't need to understand and come to the right conclusions; I had to win.
I also didn't realize we were setting out on a catastrophic path.
Jeff said he couldn't come to dinner the next night.
"I'm falling a little behind on my work and besides, there's no need for me to be there every night."
I recognized it as an excuse. He wouldn't lie to me so he was able to convince himself he had a lot of work to do. He was still angry with me and didn't want to see me. It was accurate that he didn't need to be at dinner with me every night. It just wasn't the reason he didn't want to come. He did not want to say he didn't want to see me.
That was fine with me. I didn't want to see him either. I was angry as well.
"The next night he had a different excuse.
"'I'm too tired. It can be such an ordeal over there. I want to get a good night's sleep.'
"Again, completely accurate, but not the reason he didn't want to come.
"I didn't bother to invite him the next night. He didn't call."
"What the hell are you trying to accomplish here?" Jen asked. "Are you trying to end your relationship?"
I just looked at her, bewildered.
"It's a good thing you guys aren't getting married anyway. You're both under the legal age - emotionally."
I sucked in a breath so I could yell back at her. Then I realized it proved her point.
"We're acting like children, aren't we?"
She gave me a look that said you think.
"Maybe we're not."
This time she looked at me, bewildered.
"There's no question I've been acting like a child. I don't know if Jeff has. This might be like those situations in the beginning when I would act outrageously and he would just walk away because he wouldn't put up with it.
"It's a little different now because he has to come back at some point. We have a relationship and, so far, uncanceled plans for a wedding. But he doesn't have to put up with my childish behavior."
Jen laughed. "It's good to see you can carry both sides of the conversation now."
"I'm sorry, Jeff. I reverted to my old behavior. You were just offering a suggestion and I went crazy. Can you forgive me?"
"As I mentioned before, I've met your relatives. You've spent quite a bit of time with them lately, exposed to their thinking, which bears only the vaguest resemblance to rational thought and sanity. I think it's remarkable you managed to recognize the nature of your behavior so quickly in that environment."
"You could have just said yes."
"No, I couldn't."

San Antonio Investment Properties
Why Invest in San Antonio, TX
The city of San Antonio is in Bexar County – the third largest county in Texas. Business Facilities magazine recognized San Antonio as one of the five major logistical locations in the country for warehousing and distribution and is widely considered the gateway of foreign trade. Thanks to its proximity to Mexico, San Antonio,s economy has benefited the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). More than half the goods moving to and from Mexico go through San Antonio and all signs point to a further expansion of this trade. Shoppers from Mexico make up 30% of the city's retail market purchases. The U.S. military base realignment, the growth of healthcare and drilling in the Eagle Ford Shale have all played a part in city's economic boom.

Groupon Inc. began offering an application for Apple Inc.'s iPad that lets merchants track purchases, part of a push by the daily-deal company to add new lines of sales to make up for slowing growth in online coupons.
The software, called Breadcrumb, is available to merchants in the U.S. for monthly subscriptions starting at $99, Mihir Shah, Groupon's vice president of mobile and merchant products, said in an interview. It had previously been offered to a group of local businesses in New York.
Groupon is seeking to expand beyond daily deals by building a suite of merchant-focused technology tools that include a credit-card payment service and a reservation-booking site. Breadcrumb, a New York-based startup acquired by Groupon in May, specializes in technology that could help its new owner compete with such payment-service providers as Square Inc.
"We want to be the one-stop shop to help merchants grow and run their business," Shah said in an interview. "We have been focused on the grow part, and now we've started to roll out a suite of products that help merchants run their business."
Breadcrumb is also targeted toward restaurants and bars, which need features such as menu adjustments, check splitting and managing employee time-clocks.
The app will work in conjunction with Groupon Payments, the credit card-reading service unveiled last month, to record transactions, though merchants using one are not required to use both, Shah said.

It seems Kylie Jenner needs a gentle reminder she actually lives in the sunshine state.
The pouty little sis of Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Kendall stepped out in West Hollywood, California rocking her trademark gothic look in a baggy off-white playsuit with some seriously dark lips.
Kylie, 17, was dining with a bunch of friends including her big sis Kendall and opted to shade her eyes from the glaring sun with a giant pair of dark shades.
She teamed her comfy combo - which looked a bit like she had thrown on a man's shirt - with a pair of black heeled ankle boots and a black handbag.
And Kylie couldn't help but highlight those famous full lips with a splash of black lippie, which contrasted against her pale skin.
The look was completed with statement gold and silver jewellery.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star was spotted eating at Toast and strutted into the cafe clutching her trusty mobile phone.
No reason to wonder why - the reality star teen later uploaded pics to Instagram of her day out.
Clearly impatient at having to wait for pals outside the eatery she captioned the pouty snap "Hurry up jordynnnn". She's just too cool.

Bucs long-snapper Garrison Sanborn was born and raised in Tampa, but as Hurricane Irma approached, he decided the safest place to keep his family was at One Buc Place, where they stayed Sunday night as the storm passed.
"With the fear that the storm surge was going to be crazy, we just spent the night here in the facility," said Sanborn, who lives on Harbor Island. "I had my son set up in his little Pack 'n Play in the receivers room. We were all set up all over the place."
Sanborn's 7-month-old son Jameson was there in one meeting room, and his 7-year-old daughter Julianne in the linebackers room, while Sanborn and his wife Tara stayed in the defensive line room. He heard officials saying they didn't need to go far to find safe shelter, so he took the Bucs up on their offer.
"The Bucs were generous enough to let us to make sure we were safe here in the building," said Sanborn, who had been cut and re-signed the previous weekend in the team's final roster shuffling. "Being from here, you're used to the threat of it and you don't want to take it lightly."
Sanborn has dealt with Mother Nature impacting a football season before -- during his time in Buffalo, he got snowed in for five days in 2014, and a game against the Jets was relocated to Detroit. With almost no preparation, a motivated Buffalo team cruised to a 38-3 victory, and he hopes for the same result when the Bucs finally get to play their season opener Sunday against the Bears.
"We didn't practice at all before we played the Jets," he said. "We literally showed up to Detroit with one walkthrough. Everything else was done over the phone as far as game-planning from everybody's individual houses. Everybody was so fired up, so excited to actually hit somebody that it was probably the biggest win we ever had, the largest margin. I'm hoping that's going to be the same mindset that we'll have."

I recently wrote an article for my e-zine in which I depicted my typical workday in C# code. Because it was purely fictional code, I wasn't able to verify the syntax by compiling it. Needless to say, many readers were quick to point out any errors they saw. Fortunately, most of them found the humor in the article as well.
That situation demonstrates a fundamental behavior of members of the software-development community. Give them some code, and they just can't resist correcting it and making it better. The Linux operating system (the shining star of the free-software movement) is an example of just how far the software community will pursue a project it feels has merit. This behavior is exactly what Microsoft was counting on when it submitted the specifications for the C# language and the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) to the European Computer Manufacturer's Association (ECMA) standards body in October 2000.
Miguel de Icaza, chief technology officer of Ximian Inc. and leader of the GNOME project (a desktop environment for Linux), picked up the ball and started running with it, when he started the Mono project. Specifically, the Mono project aims to leverage the development talent of the free-software movement to create a free-software version of the C# compiler, Common Language Runtime, and .NET Framework class library. The initial platform targets would be both Windows and Linux, with other Unix variants to be introduced later.
Three questions spring to mind at this point. First, why did Microsoft break from its traditional proprietary stance? Second, why do the developers in the free-software movement care so much about a Microsoft initiative? Finally, what does all of this mean to you and me? Let's tackle all of these in order.
Microsoft broke from its proprietary stance because it realized that the best way for it to control the shape of tomorrow's Internet is through industry-wide acceptance of the Microsoft way of doing things. Microsoft has bet the farm on the "software as a service" paradigm. This paradigm will not work if services cannot seamlessly communicate and integrate with each other. Microsoft played a large role in the standardization of the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) to help bridge the platform communication gap. Further, Microsoft built the .NET Framework to be language-agnostic, so it only makes sense that Microsoft officials would want to support .NET implementations on alternate platforms such as Linux. Who better to build these implementations than the developers who built the operating systems themselves?
It is important to note that Microsoft only published the specifications for part of its overall .NET initiative. The company also didn't release the source code for its own .NET implementation, only enough information to ensure interface standardization. That way, Microsoft can offload the chore of building compliant cross-platform .NET implementations to the free-software movement, while still maintaining proprietary control of the company's specific implementation. Microsoft hopes to come out on top by providing the best .NET implementation as well as the best tools with which to develop .NET applications and services. The company also has a few other initiatives, such as .NET My Services (formerly Hailstorm), that it will use to stake a claim on the .NET landscape. These are clearly different goals than those of the free-software movement.
Why are Miguel de Icaza and the Mono project playing along? It certainly isn't to do Microsoft any favors. Ximian officials always had intended to build a better software development framework for the Linux platform to ease their development efforts. They could have designed an entirely new framework from scratch, but they didn't have a spare $2 billion lying around to fund the project. Besides, Microsoft had already laid out the blueprints for a framework that implemented most of what Ximian officials wanted in the first place. Those involved in the Mono project decided to embrace and extend what was already there. Cross-platform interoperability was just icing on the cake. Developers of the Mono project are counting on open-source development tools, such as SharpDevelop (a .NET editor written completely in C#) to help them provide a comprehensive alternative to Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET tools suite.
Where does all of this leave you and me? I think we are in a great position. A free software .NET implementation means more options. Even better, these options will be compatible, meaning that you won't have to marry yourself to one particular .NET implementation. They will be able to talk to each other, so you can mix and match them.
Open source has always meant a green light to educational institutions. There is no better way to learn about a technology than to be able to delve into its internals. This is where both Microsoft and the free-software movement share common ground. Get students hooked on a platform in school, and they will stick with it once they graduate. Some of them will want to stay in the trenches and will choose the open-source route, while others will only care about the big picture and likely will choose the Microsoft route. Luckily, they will be able to coexist peacefully.
The Mono project also may lead to a more stable, more powerful .NET implementation. The Linux operating system is regarded as one of the most stable operating systems in the world, and it was built through the collaborative efforts of thousands of software developers. Harnessing the collective intellect of such a large pool of developers will no-doubt lead to many new and exciting additions to the .NET Framework. These additions will be able to be plugged into any .NET implementation.
The Mono project is slated (unofficially) to be complete sometime before mid-2002. While a Mono implementation of ASP.NET is not on the menu at the moment, Miguel told me he hopes the Mono project will pick up enough momentum and support that a Mono implementation of ASP.NET becomes a reality. As a first pass, a Linux variant of ASP.NET most likely would be implemented as an extension to the open-source Apache Web server.
I am excited about the Mono project, and I think you should be, too. We are heading toward a generation of infinite connectivity, and the sooner we all learn to get along (both in code and in real life), the better off we will all be. If you would like to get involved with the Mono project, you can visit the official Mono project Web site at http://www.go-mono.com.

Kcal 210 Fat 11.0g Carbs 24.5g
Hot off the back of last weeks Terry's Chocolate Orange review, and due to the subsequent requests that followed, today saw me delve further into the Terry's range with the 'Golden Nugget Crunch' - a bar that had the same 'milk chocolate flavoured with real orange' but with the added inclusion of 'studded honeycomb flavour crunchy bits (10%)'.
This variant came in the same sized 40g pack as the original and was packged in a yellow coloured variation of the original wrapper. The bar itself also had the same distinct segmented appearance, though as you can see above had small golden pieces of honeycomb throughout.....I say throughout though one of the only letdowns of the bar was that the honeycomb pieces were unforunately far more present in one half of the bar than the other. As with the original bar as soon as the wrapper was opened I was overwhelmed by the strength of the orange aroma...it was a tad artifical but refreshing none the less.
After the first half of the bar I have to admit I was disappointed. The bar hardly included any honeycomb pieces and although the flavour of the orange and milk chocolate were still as delicious as the original, the subtly of the honeycomb was disappointing. Thankfully though the latter three pieces of the bar subsequently contained vast amounts of honeycomb pieces - and my oh my were they delicious. One of my slight gripes with the original chocolate orange was that by the end of the bar its flavour was becoming too sweet....well you may be suprised to hear that the honeycomb went some way to settling this problem. The honeycomb was not as simple in flavour as I thought it was going to be - each little crunchy piece gave a burst of honey flavour. It tasted slightly floral with a touch of caramel, and was nowhere as sweet as I was expecting - it was more pronounced in its flavour depth than I was anticipating. The extra element of the honeycomb went some way to subsiding the sweetness of the chocolate which made for an extremely moreish taste...in a word YUM :D
Overall I must admit that at 35p a bar I was expecting a devilishly over sweet variation of the original chocolate orange. To be honest I really couldn't have been more wrong - the extra honeycomb pieces added further depth to the taste and with were far more advanced in their flavour credentials than I was expecting. This is definately one for fans of Terry's Chocolate Orange; at just 35p you could buy ten of these for just one Hotel Chocolat 85% slab...now im not going to say I would buy the ten of these but the point im trying to get across is that you really cant go wrong at least trying this bar for that price....a great tasting variation that even betters the original....its not often I say that now!

In the early 1900s, Indian Lake became a leading destination to exercise the intellect as well as the body. The traveling Chautauqua Assemblies that swept the East and Midwest came to Indian Lake's Orchard Island starting in 1910. These variety shows featured lectures and programs by a diverse roster of speakers and entertainers, including some famous and prominent figures such as the great orator William Jennings Bryant. Chautauqua drew such large crowds that a hotel and cottages were built on the island to accommodate out-of-town guests for the two-week gatherings in late July and early August. The village of Lakeview became a regularly scheduled stop in 1911 on the Toledo and Ohio Central Railroad, and the Ohio Electric Line provided service to the burgeoning lakeside community known as Russells Point. The rail lines provided easy access to rural Indian Lake park from Lima, Columbus, Dayton and neighboring communities.
With so much to attract visitors to the area by the early 1920s, local businessman Pappy Wilgus saw an opportunity he couldn't resist. Pappy and his son, French, built the Sandy Beach Amusement Park at Russells Point to entertain the growing numbers of tourists. Sandy Beach Amusement Park opened on Decoration Day, 1924. The highlight of the park was the fabulous Minnewawa Dance Hall, billed as the best and largest in Ohio, featuring two bandstands and room for hundreds of couples. The Minnewawa drew all the most popular touring performers of the day, including the Rudy Vallee and Paul Whiteman orchestras. The park also offered all of the favorite amusement rides including a roller coaster, merry-go-round, ferris wheel, Blue Beard's castle, and Custer's car ride, along with a penny arcade, fun house, boat excursions and food concessions. One of the more unique attractions was the Old Mill Shoot, in which boat-like cars plunged down a roller coaster hill into a tank of water, soaking all aboard. A boardwalk spanned the lake to give swimmers access to nearby Sandy Beach Island, a popular bathing area offering slides and diving towers.
As the "Roaring 20s" gave way to the Great Depression of the 1930s, "Ohio's Million Dollar Playground" at Indian Lake lost none of its currency. Couples still crowded the amusement park for dance marathons which rewarded the most persistent couples with coveted cash prizes. The winners of the 1931 National Endurance Dance Marathon held at the park reputedly danced for an astounding 1,922 hours! Sandy Beach Amusement Park's future looked rosy, but a disastrous fire in 1935 completely destroyed the Minnewawa dance hall, along with the wooden structures of the Old Mill Shoot, Custer Cars, Spa bathhouse and part of the roller coaster. A new park operator pumped $100,000 into improvements in 1936, took over management of most of the concessions, and rebuilt the dance hall in an open-air garden style. The most famous Big Bands booked the elegant new Moonlight Terrace Gardens at Sandy Beach Amusement Park in their tours. The bands played on, and twirling couples continued to dance until the early 1950s.
Indian Lake was officially designated as one of the original Ohio State Parks under the jurisdiction of the new Ohio Department of Natural Resources in 1949. The original park office was located in Russells Point, close to the hub of activity at the amusement park. The 1950s were a successful decade for both Sandy Beach Amusement Park and the new state park, as well as local business people who provided services to tourists. The celebration of Ohio's sesquicentennial in 1953 was a huge event at the lake, drawing crowds estimated at 100,000. These untroubled glory days couldn't last, however. The societal turmoil of the 1960s came to Indian Lake to pay annual visits starting July 4, 1961. Late that evening, rowdy patrons at the bars across the street from the amusement park sparked a riot that involved nearly 500 youths. The July 4th riot became an unfortunate tradition that plagued the community for a decade as the riots grew increasingly large and destructive each year. The riots dampened everyone's business during what should be one of the busiest weeks of the year.
Indian Lake State Park's family campground was built in the mid-1960s across the lake from Russells Point and the amusement park. The class-A campground was an immediate hit, and it brought a new audience to the area. Meanwhile, the quaint, old-fashioned Sandy Beach Amusement Park was renamed Indian Lake Playland in 1967, and it continued the struggle to compete with northwest Ohio's immensely popular new theme park, Cedar Point, for nearly a decade. Indian Lake Playland did not reopen on Decoration Day 1976, and a few years later, the rides and concessions were torn down.
Today, Indian Lake State Park attracts nearly 1.5 million visitors each year with its top-notch campground, swimming and boating facilities.

Bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan
This is my last week of maternity leave.
A few days ago I was having brunch with some of my closest girlfriends who happen to be younger than me. I was the only girl at the table with kids, and as they are beginning to think about having kids they were asking me questions. Invariably, the conversation turns to my choice to work. I get this question constantly. Let me preface by saying I am VERY lucky to have the option to work. I also have a unique situation because I have a home office. Having the ability to choose as well as working from home is a situation most people are not allotted. That being said, I choose to work. Why?
Being a stay at home mother is the most difficult job I have ever known. For work, I manage events. This involves the oversight of employees and a couple hundred of models. The staff who have been tending to my markets while I am on maternity leave can't wait for me to return. They keep telling me that my job is so stressful and asking me, "how do I do it??" My job is EASY compared to being a mom.
Here's why.
When I'm performing well at work, people think I am amazing. When I meet my goals, I get praise. At the end of the year I get a review and typically a raise. Clients write me notes telling me I "saved the day" or "really made it happen". I feel valuable. In addition, people around me give me accolades for being a mother and a successful business woman. Also, I receive a paycheck. When I make money I don't feel I need to address every frivolous item I spend money on (BTW, Mike has never, even one time, questioned an item I have spent money on. But in my mind he might. Someday. And I will be ready!)
While being home on maternity leave I work twice, no 3x as hard as I do on my job. Mike is better than most men regarding praise. However, he (nor anyone) cannot begin to praise a mother for the amount of work they do. Why? Because most of the work is crappy and something none of us would ever notice (including me).
Here is what a mom envisions would happen:
5:30 pm: Husband home
5:35pm: Smiling, embraces wife and children and utters the following statement: "WOW, the house looks and smells amazing!! I can't believe how well you did dressing and feeding the children today! And you cleaned too?? My goodness, how many loads of laundry did you accomplish ? Thank you for folding my clothes, I noticed my underwear and socks are perfectly clean in their drawers. I couldn't help but see the grout in the bathroom smells like bleach and our bed is made. And you changed the sheets! The Duvet cover smells like fresh linen! Thank you for remembering to also take the dry cleaning, pick up my prescriptions, replace my empty shampoo, and drop off my alterations in your down time. How do you manage to do all of this, while looking so beautiful?"
Here is what really happens:
5:00pm: Wife: SHIT, I worked my ass off on the fucking grout and laundry while taking care of the kids and now need to make dinner happen? I haven't sat down for even one minute today. Exhausted. Must look like together wife and mother. Am I still in my pajama bottoms?? What did we even buy at the grocery store? What am I supposed to be making? Tacos. Yes, tonight is taco night. Put meat in skillet. Smells like dinner. I should pour myself a glass of wine, and give kids M&Ms to quit whining so home will appear tranquil.
5:30pm: Husband home, exhausted from driving, dealing with people etc. He is thinking. "Honestly, where is dinner??" Starving, because he sacrificed long lunch to be home early. Not sure why mom is so frazzled, after all she didn't deal with the demands of clients sucking the life out of her. Is she still in her pajama bottoms? He is not smiling or embracing. Instead, he is confused why someone isn't feeding him after a long day. ** Disclaimer: I am exaggerating a bit for effect. In actuality, Mike is almost always smiling when he comes home, does hug all of us and usually tells me I look beautiful. Also, he helps make dinner most nights. I am ridiculously lucky to have snagged a good dude. But, I listen to the gripes of many of my friends.**
Every day I fall into bed exhausted. Being a mother is no joke. The job doesn't stop! The "To Do List" is never-ending! At work, when the checklist is complete my work day is complete. At home I am the mother of a thousand lists, all of them partially complete with many tasks ongoing making them "un check off able"(technical term, I'm sure). However, the happiness of being around my family is much more gratifying than any type of work praise I could ever receive. I am obsessed with my girls, with Mike- even my pain in the ass dogs. But, I felt it important to explain why, in my opinion, going back to work is actually a great deal easier than staying home.
Since becoming a mother, I have noticed there are two distinct tribes of women:
The stay at home group, and the working group.
For some reason, both tribes subscribe to the fact they are the better option and often criticize the other. I have absolutely no idea why women do this. Obviously, I am removing the variable of those not able to make a choice, be it dual wage earning necessity, or a single parent.
As a woman able to make a choice, I choose to work. I choose to work because I like the balance and really enjoy having the help around the house. The never-ending list exhausts me and sometimes frustrates me. I like the feeling of knowing I actually completed something when I crawl into bed at night. As a woman who has been home the past few months, I love tending to my family. The feeling of taking breaks for afternoon cuddles, making lunches, and folding tiny onesies is pretty awesome.
In case you haven't figured it out I am making a few points here 🙂 First, if you are at work today go home and give your homemaker a whole bunch of snaps. She (I know some Dads that stay home as well, so and/or He) is probably home magic erasing crayon marks off the wall while making dinosaur shaped sandwiches and simultaneously on hold with the cable company. She is still in her pajamas, hasn't eaten breakfast, and has hopefully had time for a cup of coffee.
Secondly, if you are guilty of being a judgy-wudgy (another technical term) tribe member, make it your resolution to stop. Both teams work their butts off, and I have yet to meet a mother who said, "I am just sort of trying to be a good mom". We are all trying and both mom groups deserve a medal for doing the best they can!
Happy Monday!!

A long-lasting relationship can retain much of the charm of the early days, to achieve it requires creativity, overcome laziness and comfortable routines. Three recommendations to keep the emotion and the illusion alive.
Every day in plan of conquest
To assume that the game has already been won and that there is no need to do anything else to conquer the other is the first step towards the deterioration of the relationship. Remembering the strategies most useful at the beginning of the relationship and applying them, as well as new actions based on the knowledge of the couple, will keep the spark and emotion and prevent the other self-become thing as obvious as Living room sofa.
Modify routines
Routines prevail because they are comfortable, but they can become automatic and therefore lose emotion. Breaking them up is easier than you think. It is giving space to spontaneity, daring to make proposals out of the ordinary and change comfort by action. For example, take advantage of a sunny day in the week and find yourself somewhere in the city after work to chat while night falls.
Make caresses a novelty
In caresses, the instinctive and rational coexist. Tenderness, solidarity, support, are feelings that are expressed many times more clearly and forcefully with a hug or a squeeze, than with words. The caresses have a therapeutic effect, reduce stress, relax and create an irreplaceable link. Its positive effect is for both the giver and the receiver. It can be caressed with the tips of the fingers or with the whole hand, with the back or with a simple set of fingers. There are hundreds of ways to explore and express feelings to each other.


text: Digital Nieman Report: Communities, Not Paywalls, Are The Key To A Successful News Business Model By Jessica Roy|June 15, 2011Share By Jessica Roy|June 15, 2011Share In an age when news organizations are scrambling to keep up with technological innovation, it is easy to lose sight of the original strain that kickstarted social networks in the first place: people are inherently social beings, and flourish in spaces where we can genuinely connect with each other. According to a new Nieman Report entitled "Community: A New Business Model for News," the simple evolutionary fact that humans not only love but need community is the key to creating a successful news business model. "We have long known communities are powerful and that local media thrive when they bring together and serve their community," writes Michael Skoler, the VP of Interactive for Public Radio International. "Somehow though when it comes to the challenge of online media, we forget this. We search for new business models that involve paywalls, more video, the iPad, and wealthy donors, while the most powerful emerging business driver in the new economy is community." This is not necessarily a new discovery, particularly to those of us who work as Community Managers (Disclosure: That's my day job!), but the important part is figuring out how to appropriately harness our desire for togetherness and turn fans into community members. Skoler makes this distinction in his piece, arguing that there is a difference between fans of a brand and the active community members that generate enough passion to make the community influential. "If media organizations are going to tap the new community business model, they will need to avoid mistaking their audience for a community," he writes. "Fans become a community when they have the freedom to explore their interests and connections and organize themselves." Skoler cites a number of organizations, including Angie's List, a member-based service provider reviews site, and Red Hat, an open-source Linux community, as examples of communities that are getting it right: their members are passionate and active, and because of this, the businesses that support these communities have flourished both financially and in brand cache. So how can news organizations foster a successful community for their fans? "To harness this model, news organizations need to think of themselves first as gathering, supporting and empowering people to be active in a community with shared values, and not primarily as creators of news that people will consume," says Skoler. This may seem like a massive ideological shift for many news orgs, but in some ways it's simply about getting back to our roots. Small, local papers have always known that community comes first, which is one of the reasons hyperlocal ventures have become so popular in recent years. Hosting conferences where community members can connect outside of the Internet, or implementing virtual goods rewards like badges, are two other ways news organizations can begin to cultivate happy, healthy communities. At its core, the social economy is about connecting people through the things they care about, and successful news organizations will work hard to produce the tools that allow for this kind of valuable interaction. "Creating community engenders value for people," writes Skoler, "And providing value is the heart of any successful business model." Share http://adweek.it/2k77rFk copy Adweek Adweek

The opportunity to study by distance learning can really make a difference to people. Whether it be for an A level or an IGCSE, a vocational qualification or something just for fun, being able to study around other commitments or without having to attend face-to-face classes is the only possible way for some. At NEC this is at the heart of what we do, and working here it is difficult not to be inspired by some of the amazing people we support and the great things they go on to achieve.
We told you recently about partnerships we have formed with 3 charities, to provide bursaries to disadvantaged students in our blog NEC tutor's lifelong learning legacy. On Friday last week I was lucky enough to see this in action at an event held by Crisis the homeless charity called the 'Celebration of Success'. I was invited to say a few words about the bursaries available at an event they hold each year to celebrate the successes of their members, and I want to share with you my experience of what was an inspirational and moving day.
The first thing that was clear is how important this annual celebration is to Crisis members. It was standing room only, and the excitement in the air was electric. Several members of the Crisis team spoke, including CEO Lesley Morphy. We heard all about the cafe, and how it is educating members not only to help them move into the catering industry, but also teaching them about seasonal produce and healthy eating.
We also heard how the private renting campaign is helping more and more people into suitable accommodation and the employment services have helped more than 113 people into jobs since July this year. We also clapped and cheered as a huge amount of members, including some studying with NEC, received certificates for the educational programmes they are either working through or have completed.
The stories that some of the members shared were very emotional, at some points there was not a dry eye in the house. There were deportation issues, identification issues, substance abuse, punishments for crimes committed long ago carrying on long after the sentence is done. The gentleman I sat next to shared some of his experiences with me, and he had been through more than I thought possible. He was there to be presented with a certificate for a course he had done, and even shared with me a poem he had written since becoming involved with the education programme. It was beautiful! The afternoon finished with a great performance from the choir, which had everyone in the room clapping along.
Despite all of the challenges members of Crisis have faced, the outlook is positive thanks to the help and support that Crisis provides, and education is a really big part of that. Be that education by way of formal qualifications, teaching them some ballroom dancing or helping them to learn what it is they want and how they can get there. The positivity in the room was overwhelming and I feel both honoured and privileged to have been witness to it.
The NEC guide to courses (PDF) says on the cover 'The right course at the right time can change your life', and my afternoon spent celebrating the successes of these truly inspirational people reminded me just how true that is.

Phoenix, AZ – The election of at least two Democrats to the sate Corporation
Commission is likely to mean a bigger push for utilities to
generate more electricity from renewable sources. Arizona Public
Radio's Howard Fischer reports.
The current mandate is for utilities to generate 15 percent of
power from solar and similar sources by 2025. The three
Democrats, running as the -- quote -- solar team -- pushed for a
more aggressive stance. At this point, two have definitely been
elected to the five-member panel. One of those is Paul Newman who
thinks the state can do more.
(What is feasible is drive by the Corporation Commission. It's
driven by capitalization. And it's driven by letting people know
that we'll be the new home for solar energy in the Southwest.)
Even if Republicans retain control, an enhanced renewable
standard is likely. Holdover Kris Mayes noted she already has
proposed pushing the requirement up to 25 percent. But she said
the commission has to be careful in making changes.
(I certainly wouldn't want to run this train off the tracks. One
of the reasons Arizona has been successful with renewable energy
is that we have been deliberate and we haven't done anything that
would give ammunition to the opponents of renewable energy.)
The race for the third vacancy on the commission between Democrat
Sam George and Republican Bob Stump remains too close to call.
For Arizona Public Radio, this is Howard Fischer.

Watch: Taylor Swift disses Jake Gyllenhaal lookalike in 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' clip
Taylor Swift's new music clip for her break-up song 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' is sending tongues wagging over the shrewd casting of a tall, dark and handsome bearded model who looks remarkably like her ex, Jake Gyllenhaal.
While the 22-year-old songstress won't confirm who exactly the song is about, she dropped a few hints in a recent interview with Good Morning America.
Describing an incident that happened in the recording studio while working on her upcoming album Red, Taylor said, "This guy walks in who is a friend of my exes, and starts talking about how he's heard we're going to get back together. And that was not the case".
"So I start telling them the story: break-up, get back together, break up, get back together — just, ugh, the worst! And I picked up the guitar and [songwriter] Max [Martin] said, 'This is what we're writing.'"
Taylor, who is now getting cosy with Conor Kennedy, had a whirlwind two-month fling with Jake from October to December 2010, but they were seen spending time together up until February 2011. Before Jake, there was Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and John Mayer (the target of Taylor's scathing 'Dear John' track on her last album Speak Now).
'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together', the first single from her new album, contains lyrics like, "We hadn't seen each other in a month when you said you needed space. What?", and "And you will hide away and find your peace of mind with some indie record that's much cooler than mine."
Is it about Jake? Watch below and tell us what you think.
In pics: You're so vain you probably think this song is about you!
