Is it possible to achieve food and energy independence on one acre? Well, with imagination, hard work, and the right one acre, we think it might be done . . . and that's what this project is all about. Of course, providing most of the basic needs for four people from such a small piece of ground is a tall order. Still, we think it's a goal worth pursuing, and we hope that in this series of articles about our low-cost homestead we'll be able to help some of you in your struggles to increase your self-reliance . . . by doing some of the experimenting for you.
In our first installment, we discussed our plans for this project—which include our round, earth-sheltered home . . . an independent, low-voltage DC electrical system run from hydropower . . . and permaculture agricultural schemes—and described the construction methods used to raise the circular building's block walls. This time, we'll go into the intricacies of framing the energy-efficient home. (For readers unfamiliar with construction jargon, see the Passive Solar and Earth Sheltered Home Building Glossary.)
On most construction projects, it's a real milestone when you get to the point where you can have a sheltered work-and-storage area . . . particularly when you're working through the winter (as we were!). Yet before we could get a roof overhead, we had to begin the framing of the round earth-sheltered house by erecting the full-diameter, east-west partition. Because all of our building's rafters bear on this wall, its completion was the key to getting to work on the roof structure. And though the wall is a fairly standard 2 X 4, 16" on-center partition-with openings left for the bedroom and bath doors-the job is complicated somewhat by the special reinforcement above the door headers and the 1-in-12 pitch of the top plates. Consequently, it's a good place to "get one's feet wet" with unsquare framing . . . and to learn some of the skills that will be important to the successful completion of this admittedly complicated stage of our house's construction.
Because the west top plate overhangs the exterior block wall, the main partition can't be framed on the floor and lifted into position, as is often done. Instead, we found it best to start by securing the sole plates to the concrete slab with expansion anchors or a nail gun, so that their centerline bisected the circle of the building. This left the north side of the east sole plate flush with the north side of the pilaster on the bermed wall.
To match the top-plate pitch, the upper ends of the studs had to be cut at a 5 degree angle for a snug fit. (The calculated dimension of this angle is actually 4 3/4 degree, but the 5 degree approximation is plenty accurate.) We started the wall by anchoring the end studs to the concrete block and cutting one of the doubled top plates for each side to the appropriate length.
To support the top plates during framing, it's possible either to erect a temporary center pole as we did—or to prepare the rough opening for the bathroom door. Because the building's center post bears on the bathroom-door header, the structure above this opening must be somewhat reinforced. When we reached this stage, we set in a doubled 2 X 12 block to support the east top plate, and stiffened the whole assembly with 1/2" plywood on both sides of the header box. In order to serve as a construction post, this rough opening should be put together on the floor, and the assembly should be lifted into position and propped. Then the plates can be nailed to the laminated 2 X 4 central post, the trimmers from the door frame, and the 2 X 12 block.
The remainder of the framing consists of preparing two more reinforced door headers, where cross rafters tie into the bisecting wall, and filling in the 16" o.c. studs. Though it would be possible to calculate the length of each stud, it proved just as easy for us to cut them to fit. We simply laid each board up against the top plate, marked the cut with a pencil, set the trimmed stud in plumb, end-nailed it through the top plate, and toe-nailed it to the sole plate. After the wall was framed, we went back and added the second layer of top plate.
Front Roof of the Earth-Sheltered Home
We used homemade flitch-plate (or "gluelam") beams for our rafters. Since they consist of a section of plywood sandwiched between two conventional boards (thereby adding the plywood's multidirectional strength to the more one-directional capability of the boards), they're quite strong. Such beams are approved for construction practically everywhere, but some building codes stipulate that they may be designed only by architects or engineers. Fortunately, we're without such restrictions, so we consulted load tables for flitch-plate beams from Architectural Graphic Standards to determine an appropriate spacing for the rafters in our building. A good deal of conservatism is built into the tables, and we introduced a generous amount of our own by using 48" maximum spacing to allow for easy sheathing and drywalling.
Using glue and nails, we built up our flitch-plate beams from lengths of 2 X 10 secured around 3/4", or doubled 1/2", plywood cut to size. The main north-south beam on the front roof drops from the top of the east plate (over two jacks in the central post) to a point just east of the front-door opening at a 1-in-12 pitch. This, and each of the other southwest rafters, was bird's-mouthed approximately 3/4" deep and 8" wide where it rides on the sill. Once we got that initial beam in place, we removed our temporary bracing for the east-west bisecting wall to make the floor less cluttered.
Next, we prepared the cross rafter to which the three southwest jack rafters are attached. This was done by cutting out a section of 2 X 10, mitered at both ends, long enough to penetrate the area above the west bedroom header and rest atop the 2 X 12 blocking. This board was notched to fit into the slot above the blocking. To this first cross rafter, we attached a ledger strip cut from a piece of two-by lumber . . . then each jack rafter was notched to hang on this ledger.
All three jack rafters have different compound angles, requiring double cuts where they intersect the cross rafter. The additional notching needed to fit the ledger, however, increases the number of saw cuts on those ends to four. The portions of the jack rafters that overhang the exterior wall were then bird's-mouthed, the beams were set in place, and their inside ends were nailed through the cross rafter. When all three were in position, we added two more cross rafters for reinforcement, nailing them into the back of the first. Then we went ahead and installed some of the 2 X 10 bridging to keep the rafters square.
Each of the four rafters that span from the east bisecting wall top plate to the front of the building has a different pitch . . . and the result is that the roofline describes what is called a hyperbolic paraboloid as you move from the center to the southeast. Because all four of these rafters were to bear on the beam that would span the greenhouse opening, the next step in construction was to build up that beam from five 2 X 6's on edge, with 2 X 8's lying flat on the top and bottom. We used a pressure-treated 6 X 6 post in the center of the beam's span for support, and finished the horizontal member with rung oil to enhance its appearance.
Because the four southeast rafters bear flat (with appropriate bird's-mouths) on the east bisecting wall top plate, they arrive at the front wall tipped sideways at a 5 degree angle . . . representing the 1-in-12 east-west roof pitch. Consequently, the bird's-mouths where the rafters ride on the greenhouse beam had to be cut at compound angles, with the tipping-angle cut being more pronounced than the bird's-mouths themselves. It's important to cut these compound angles into the ends bearing on the greenhouse beam, rather than the ends on the wall top plate, so that top and bottom surfaces of the rafters run parallel to the sheathing and interior finish materials.
Bridging these four rafters with 2 X 10's was a fairly time-consuming chore, since there were a number of different angles involved. For this job, our carpenters found a Squangle nearly indispensable. This tool, made by the Mayes Brothers Tool Manufacturing Company of Johnson City, Tennessee, allows one to accurately reproduce odd angles while maintaining plumb with a built-in bubble level.
Once we'd finished the bridging, we moved on to getting the front half of the roof overhead. On the southeast portion of the roof, full-width pieces of plywood could be used between the 4'-spaced rafters, but the area over the radial rafters on the southwest roof required a number of triangulated cuts. This proved to be a blessing in disguise, though, since we were able to find some salvaged plywood, which had been cut into parallelograms, for a very reasonable price. On our roof, working with the odd-shaped material was no disadvantage, and we saved at least $2.50 per sheet.
We used salvaged roll roofing (lapped 18" and sealed with cement) for the top layer, though we seriously considered using a sprayed-plastic coating suggested to us by architect Angus Macdonald. The roll roofing won out in the end, simply because it was so inexpensive . . . however, we had little doubt that the plastic would outlast it by a wide margin. An additional potential benefit to using the plastic is that polyurethane foam insulation can be sprayed on beneath it, thereby eliminating the need to install fiberglass insulation between rafters. Furthermore, the plastic can be continued on down earth-bermed walls as a structure's waterproofing, forming a continuous sheet over and around the building. In this aspect of construction, as in so many others, one must weigh savings against durability and the labor involved.
Rear Roof of the Earth-Sheltered Home
The northern section of roof has a 1-in-3 pitch, and all the rafters have the same bird's-mouth angles. Of course, the inner ends of three of them—the east, north, and west—are square-cut at an 18 1/2 degree angle, but the remainder intersect cross rafters in the same fashion as did those on the front roof. The first beam to install is the north-south peak rafter, which needs to be almost 23 feet long. By this stage of construction, though, we'd run out of salvaged 2 X 10 X 24' boards, so we built the beam in two sections . . . and supported the adjoining ends on a post in the 2 X 6 plumbing wall between the bathroom and the bedroom closets. It would be preferable to run a continuous rafter here. Nonetheless, the support post should be retained, since this one rafter carries considerable load distributed from the other rafters that join it by way of the two cross rafters.
The remaining beams were cut and installed in much the same fashion as were those in the southwest rafter section . . . with a single cross rafter installed first, the jack rafters set in place (without a ledger, which is not needed on such a steep pitch) and end-nailed, and then the remaining layers of cross rafter backed against the first. There was even some duplication of cross rafter intersection cuts, since the angle of each northeast rafter matches that of one on the northwest.
Once the main rafters were up, we installed the bridging, leaving a 2" fire clearance where the chimney would penetrate the roof. And before sheathing the back roof section, we went ahead and laid up the chimney block (16" X 21" concrete units with 8" tile liners), so that the woodstove flue could be flashed properly when we installed the roofing.
The clerestory formed by the junction of the 1-in-3 rear roof pitch with the 1-in-12 front allows plenty of daylight to reach the bedrooms and bathroom. But to protect against summertime overheating, we decided to add an overhang (or eyelid, as we've anthropomorphically dubbed it). This projection consists of 2 X 10's angling out from the east and west rafters to form a point overhanging the center post.
Sheathing and sealing the rear roof went much the same as did that job on the front, except that—because of the steeper pitch—we had to maintain only a 12" overlap on the roll roofing. Still, we used plastic roofing cement liberally under the joints.
The partitions between the bathroom and the two bedrooms were fitted against the underside of the rafters, and each stud had to be cut to length and forced into place against its top plate to push that board up against the rafters. Because the top plates had to both bend and twist, it was important that the studs be cut to the right lengths and angles to insure a solid fit. This bit of framing turned out to be the trickiest—or at least most frustrating —part of the entire construction. It could have been made much simpler by running all interior walls on a radius of the circle . . . but unfortunately, the resulting rooms wouldn't work well with conventional rectilinear fixtures, such as a bathtub, washer-dryer, and so on.
As you can see, "drying in" this building required some creative construction techniques . . . but the resultant savings in materials were probably the essence of the building's low cost. In the next installment of this series we'll be able to detail the waterproofing and insulation measures, and move right along to some of the elegant finishing touches that you've seen in the pictures in Part II and Part I. Be sure to be on hand for Part III . . . when you'll find out about our experimental waterproofing techniques.

Back when the Pro Bowl rosters were announced in December, Packers center Jeff Saturday said that he wished he could give his spot on the NFC team to teammate Josh Sitton.
Such things aren't permitted, even in the case of picks like Saturday that were mistakes by voters in the first place, but Sitton has found his way to Hawaii anyway. With the 49ers advancing to the Super Bowl on Sunday, guard Mike Iupati has to forfeit his spot in the Pro Bowl and Sitton was the highest ranking alternate.
It's the first trip to the Pro Bowl for Sitton, who will have pleny of familiar faces welcoming him to the Aloha State. Saturday's going to be there, obviously, and the Packers coaching staff will be in charge of things for the NFC. Two other Packers — quarterback Aaron Rodgers and linebacker Clay Matthews — will be skipping the game to heal up from the long season.

Rubio says Obama of 2008 is 'gone,' makes case for Romney amid VP buzz
Sen. Marco Rubio charged Sunday that President Obama has lost his political touch, accusing the incumbent of employing a "divisive" and "cynical" style that now pits Americans against one another -- tough words that come amid speculation the Republican senator is trying out for the No. 2 slot on the GOP presidential ticket.
Rubio, without explicitly discussing his vice presidential aspirations, staunchly defended Republican candidate Mitt Romney over a series of recent controversies. And he launched broadside after broadside at Romney's presumed opponent. In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," he said President Obama has been in Washington so long -- he's been there seven-and-a-half years -- that he's starting to sound "just like anybody else in Washington."
"All the things that made him different and special four years ago are gone," Rubio said. "And now all he does is run, dividing Americans against each other, obviously because he can't run on his record."
Rubio rapidly has emerged as one of Romney's top defenders and top attack dogs. His comments on "Fox News Sunday" come one day after Obama held a pair of rallies officially kicking off his 2012 re-election campaign.
Rubio, though, is just one of several Republicans thought to be on the short list -- a list which could include, among others, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a Republican New Hampshire senator, also recently stirred speculation about VP possibilities when she campaigned alongside Romney.
Facing a competitive field, Rubio and Ayotte defended their credentials in Sunday show interviews.
Ayotte, speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," said "it's an honor to be mentioned in that vein."
While saying she's focused on her state, she also said, "I have great experience as attorney general in the state," and further claimed to have "better experience" than Obama when he ran for the White House.
Rubio made a similar pitch. Asked what makes him qualified for vice president, Rubio said he's not going to discuss that process but went on to describe his qualifications for U.S. Senate. Rubio touted his experience serving at the local government level and later moving up the ranks in the Florida state legislature to eventually serve as House speaker.
"I'm certainly not the most experienced person in Washington, D.C. But by the same token, I certainly have experience in serving in government and particularly in the legislative branch in one of the largest states and more complex states in the country in terms of public policy," he said. He added that Obama has spent so much time in the capital that he's become "divisive, cynical ... always looking for the opportunity to pit Americans against each other in some sort of political calculation."
Rubio, meanwhile, criticized Obama's economic record, accusing the president of pushing policies that make employers "afraid to hire." And he forcefully stood by Romney in his criticism last week of the Obama administration's handling of the escaped Chinese dissident who sought shelter in the U.S. Embassy.
Chen Guangcheng left the embassy Wednesday to seek medical treatment and visit his family at a hospital. The move touched off several days of diplomatic confusion -- as Chen soon claimed he wanted to leave China out of fear for his family's safety despite initial U.S. claims that he wanted to stay in China and had received assurances from the Chinese government.
After some diplomatic wrangling, Chen appears to now have the option to study abroad, in the United States.
Romney, though, described the situation as a "dark day for freedom" and "day of shame" for the Obama administration as conflicting stories emerged earlier in the week.
Asked whether Romney jumped the gun, Rubio said he did not -- and went on to suggest that the administration's handling speaks to a broader problem.
"There's this propensity that this administration seems to have of an unwillingness to forcefully assert America's values," Rubio said.
In a separate interview on ABC's "This Week," Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod accused Romney of "trying to score political points" with his criticism.
As for the Democrats' vice presidential nominee, Vice President Biden said in an interview broadcast Sunday that he's it.
"There is no question about it," Biden said, when asked on "Meet the Press" whether he's a "lock" for the position on Obama's ticket.
"There's no way out. I mean, they've already printed Obama/Biden. You are looking at the vice presidential candidate of the United States of America."

Pete Escovedo's LIVE FROM STERN GROVE FESTIVAL Released Today, 9/25
"What's up, San Francisco? Are you ready to have a good time?" asks timbales player and band leader Pete Escovedo at the beginning of Live From Stern Grove Festival, his terrific new album that captures a live show he played earlier this year at the legendary 75-year-old San Francisco cultural venue and institution. Escovedo and his band then swing into a breezy rendition of the Tito Puente classic "Picadillo Jam," and from that moment it's readily apparent the band can deliver on Escovedo's promise. Live From Stern Grove Festival is set for digital release today, September 25, 2012 on Concord Picante/Stiletto Flats Inc. (There will be a physical release in 2013.)The ensemble brings that same energy to the following track, Wayne Wallace's "Take Some Time," a song that allows guitarist Michael Angel Alvarado to exchange spirited riffs with the talented players in the large horn section. It makes sense Escovedo would recruit a phenomenal player like the Bay Area's Alvarado to play in his band. Early in his career, Escovedo toured with guitarist Carlos Santana for three years before starting the Latin band Azteca, a group that successfully established Escovedo as a major Latin jazz artist. Throughout the '70s, Escovedo collaborated with many of jazz's best players, including Herbie Hancock, Bobby McFerrin, Cal Tjader, Stephen Stills, Anita Baker, George Duke, Dion Warwick, Barry White and Chick Corea. Given Escovedo's 50-year history of playing jazz, it's fitting that several of jazz's best players contribute to Live From Stern Grove Festival. Ray Obiedo dials in some terrific guitar work on Escovedo's rendition of his "Brasiliero," a contemporary jazz number that benefits from Obeido's spirited soloing. Guitarist Michael Angel's intense playing on the first half of "True or False" practically pays homage to Santana before giving way to a fantastic saxophone solo that comes courtesy of special guest Dave Koz. "Dance" is an original salsa number that Escovedo penned with the help of sons Juan and Peter Michael, as well as daughter Sheila E. The song's lyrics about losing control and feeling the rhythm "deep in your soul" refer to the tune's almost-frantic tempo. Guest Sheila E. plays congas on the song, adding to the complex percussion rhythms designed to keep the dance floor moving. The final lyric, "it's going to make you dance," is one heck of an understatement. Sheila E. returns to play congas on "Solo Tu"; you can hear Escovedo introduce her to the audience at the beginning of the percussion-driven song. Escovedo then takes over lead vocals in "Fly Me to the Moon," a fan favorite he spices up with some Latin flair. Trumpet player Arturo Sandoval shows up on the album's closing number "Suenos De Los Torreros," and you can actually hear the audience enthusiastically applaud at the end of his solo and again as Escovedo politely says "thank you all; good night" at the end of this incredible performance.

A few news and notes from Friday's second practice:
— Raiders owner Al Davis watched his first practice of training camp, accompanied through much of it by his son Mark.
Davis talked briefly with Robert Gallery, rehabbing from an offseason appendectomy, and spoke with George and Josh Atkinson, the twin sons of former Raiders defensive back George Atkinson and star sprinters and football players at Livermore's Granada High School.
— Drills were supposed to be at three-quarters speed, but the Raiders second team defense was apparently coming up short of that at one point in the eyes of defensive coordinator John Marshall.
"You guys are going to stay second group for the rest of your (bleeping) life," Marshall said. "You're going through the motions. Grow the hell up."
— More emphasis on teaching _ quarterbacks coach Paul Hackett has quarterbacks JaMarcus Russell, Jeff Garcia, Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye line up in a row in front of them where he spends a few minutes quizzing each on protections and routes.
— Jonathan Compas, an undrafted free agent guard from U.C. Davis, was getting reps as a third team center.
— Erik Pears, the free agent tackle/guard signed as a free agent, jumped offside during one drill.
— The second-team offensive line during one sequence consisted of left tackle Khalif Barnes, left guard Chris Morris, center John Wade, right guard Marcus Johnson and right tackle James Marten.
— Hiram Eugene spent some time with the second-team defense, with Michael Huff working with the first team at free safety.
— Rather than music during stretching as in the Lane Kiffin regime, the Raiders get a running dialogue from strength and conditioning coach Brad Roll.
"We're bringing in the smokers tonight. You name it, we're smoking him," Roll said of the post-practice meal.
"Stretch those quads _ a happy quad makes a happy hamstring," Roll said.
— Four more "learning intensive" practices before the hitting begins on Monday . . .

Veteran rocker Ronnie Wood fears he is too old to have children with his new wife, so he is planning to buy her a puppy instead.
The Rolling Stones star, 65, married his third wife, 34-year-old theatre producer Sally Humphreys, in December and speculation has grown over whether they are planing to start a family.
However, Wood, who has four grown children from his previous relationships, is convinced becoming a father again will be very difficult, so he is planning to buy a new pet.
He tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "It's tough when you get to my age. A lovely little baby lives next door and whenever we pop round the mum goes, 'Gladly, oh please (look after the baby for me)…' Next, we're going to get a puppy."

Honoured Artist of Russia
Alexei Stepanyuk studied at the Leningrad State Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatoire and for seven years was Principal Director at the Chelyabinsk Academic Glinka Theatre of Opera and Ballet.
He has been a stage director at the Mariinsky Theatre since 1993. Alexei StepanyukÆs Mariinsky Theatre debut came with a production of Rimsky-KorsakovÆs opera Sadko. Ever since 1993, this production has enjoyed unfailing success and has been performed at the worldÆs leading opera houses and at the Edinburgh Festival in 1995. Renowned musicologist John Allison wrote in The Times that ōAlexei StepanyukÆs production is as faithful as it is possible to be. But its authenticity does not make it a museum exhibit, quite the reverse ¢ each of the operaÆs seven scenes is filled with true theatrical life. The performance was the highlight of the Festival.ö After the Mariinsky TheatreÆs tour to Paris in 1995, Christophe Christie reported in Opéra International: ōThe production of Sadko, without a doubt, was the best of the four productions we have seen. It has a refined stylisation and something that conjures up visions of the aesthetics of the Saisons russes. öAlexei StepanyukÆs production of Sadko (conducted by Valery Gergiev) has been filmed on DVD by Philips and NKH.
In 1994 together with Valery Gergiev, Alexei Stepanyuk staged a production of Rimsky-KorsakovÆs opera The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevronia. The production caused a furore both in Russia and abroad. Renowned Rimsky-Korsakov expert Alexei Kandinsky wrote: ōOf the five productions of Kitezh I have seen, the Mariinsky TheatreÆs 1994 staging is the most integral, both musically and artistically ¢ a tremendous feat in itself (...) The production holds everything in an ideal balance: the soloists, orchestra, chorus and the directing with highly significant symbolism. And the utterly brilliant scene of Fevronia writing to Grishka was staged musically and dramatically in such a way that, perhaps for the first time, everything was absolutely clear: the end, time has passed, and now... eternity.ö On tour in New York the production was performed four times and enjoyed huge success, which Edward Rothstein wrote of in The New York Times. At the Mariinsky Theatre Alexei Stepanyuk has staged productions of VerdiÆs La traviata and StravinskyÆs Les Noces. In 1995 at LondonÆs Royal Albert Hall, Valery Gergiev conducted the Mariinsky Opera in Alexei StepanyukÆs grandiose production of BorodinÆs Prince Igor. Following the premiere John Allison wrote: ō...Prince Igor, without a doubt, has been one of the most important events of the year.ö
In 1998 at the Mariinsky Theatre Alexei Stepanyuk staged VerdiÆs Aida with revived sets by Pyotr Shildknecht. In summer 2004 Alexei Stepanyuk staged a new production of the opera The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevronia. This was to coincide with the return of the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God to Russia. Alexei StepanyukÆs most recent premiere at the Mariinsky Theatre was a production of BizetÆs opera Carmen. At the Concert Hall of the Mariinsky Theatre Alexei Stepanyuk has staged productions of the operas The Enchanted Wanderer (2008), Il barbiere di Siviglia (2009) and The Mystery of the Apostle Paul (2010). At the Mariinsky II he has staged the operas The Lefthander (2013), Eugene Onegin (2014), The Queen of Spades (2015) and A Christmas Tale (2015).
Alexei Stepanyuk has also directed numerous works abroad, such as Eugene Onegin, staged in 1998 (San Francisco, Artistic Director and Conductor ¢ Yuri Temirkanov).
Alexei Stepanyuk has worked extensively and to great acclaim in theatres throughout Russia and the CIS, his work taking him to Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Novosibirsk (where he was Principal Stage Director for three years), Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan and Saratov. In 2004 he staged the opera The Queen of Spades at the Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, followed by Tristan und Isolde in 2005. His productions of the operas Carmen (Novosibirsk) and The Queen of Spades (Chelyabinsk) were nominated for the Golden Mask award as ōBest Production of the Yearö, while his staging of The Enchanted Wanderer won the prize in the categories ōBest Female Role in Operaö and ōBest Work by a Composer in Musical Theatre.ö Alexei Stepanyuk was named ōDirector of the Yearö by the newspaper Music Review and the Russian Union of Theatre Workers in 2002. Alexei Stepanyuk has staged a total of over seventy opera productions. In 2006 he was awarded the honorary title of Honoured Artist of Russia. Professor at the St Petersburg Conservatoire. Professor at the faculty of opera conducting of the St Petersburg Conservatoire.

Marriage Week NI
Marriage: an archaic tradition, a flimsy piece of paper, a middle-class luxury...or is there more to the institution of marriage than meets the eye of prevailing culture?
Despite the name, the work of Marriage Week NI happens all year round but peaks during National Marriage Week, occurring in February each year.
Marriage Week NI is about:
- Encouraging churches across Northern Ireland to support marriage - both in their congregations and local communities.
- Equipping churches in this work by highlighting a wide range of available resources, research, and training opportunities.
- Engaging with wider society to show how we can help build stronger communities through preparing, enriching and supporting marriages.
The Evangelical Alliance in Northern Ireland holds events each year during Marriage Week. In 2011 we published a major report on the state of marriage in the Church in Northern Ireland.

Protect Yourself from Fraudulent Web Sites
Personal information shared over the Internet can be used to commit fraud. A web site can be created using a name similar to that of a reputable business, for instance by using a misspelling of the company's name. The intent is to lure you into clicking onto the copy cat web site and providing personal information. Be sure you know whom you are dealing with over the Internet and understand what will be done with your information.
For more details on steps you can take to protect yourself, we suggest that you review guidelines provided in the FDIC's Safe Internet Banking site.
Fraud Alert
Don't get hooked by a "Phishing" scam.
Internet scammers casting about for people's financial information have a new way to lure unsuspecting victims: They go "phishing".
"Phishing" is a high-tech scam to deceive consumers into disclosing their credit card numbers, bank account information, social security numbers, passwords and other sensitive information. Be sure to avoid clicking on suspicious links and / or attachments.
You should never provide your personal information in response to an unsolicited telephone call, fax, letter, email or Internet advertisement.
Take Some Simple Precautions
Never respond to an unsolicited email that asks for detailed financial information. Berkshire Bank would never request this information in an email.
Report anything suspicious to the proper authorities. Alert the company or Government agency identified in the suspect email through a web address or telephone number that you know is legitimate.
If you think you have received a phishing email or have been directed to a "phishing looking" website, you can also contact the Internet Crime Complaint Center a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center.
If You've Been "Phished"
Immediately contact Berkshire Bank
Contact the three major credit bureaus and request that a fraud alert be placed on your credit report. The credit bureaus and phone numbers are:
Trans Union
File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission by calling 1-877-382-4357.
Don't get hooked by fraudulent phishing attempts!!

When you call us, come to a branch or visit us online, we will ask for some information to verify your identity. But we want to assure you that we will never call you or send you an email asking you to send us a response containing personal or private information.
In the past several months, several "scams" have been centered around phone calls or emails asking a customer to reveal account numbers, ATM or Debit Card numbers, passwords or other personal, private, non-public information. In some cases, scammers are sending fraudulent emails claiming to be from certain bank or banking agencies and then ask customers to visit a fraudulent website identical to the bank or banking agency's authentic website in order to have customers provide their personal information.
We want to remind you never to disclose ANY personally identifying information if requested via an unsolicited email or phone call. This includes:
Additionally, if you use BerkshireBank@Home or BerkshireBank@Work Online banking, log out when finished and close your browser before leaving your computer. Never leave your computer unattended during a Berkshire Bank Internet banking session.
If you ever get an unsolicited phone call or email claiming to be from Berkshire Bank asking you for personal identifying or account information, please do not respond. Call us at 1-800-773-5601 to let us know and to be sure you are communicating with Berkshire Bank.

Screen Scraping and Information Aggregators
Screen scraping or information aggregating involves the extraction of customer information from web sites of banks and other companies in order to consolidate and reformat this information. In order to accomplish this, information aggregators obtain a person's identification code and/or password to accounts and consent to access that information.
If you choose to use an information aggregator, you should carefully read and understand their Terms and Conditions prior to releasing your password information. You may compromise the security of your accounts if you give away your password information to a third party because we may not be able to verify the user of the password information.

The boyfriend and I just returned from a weekend in the great country of Texas – Houston, to be exact. We went there to celebrate the marriage of some neat humans.
The boyfriend was Best Man at the wedding, so I spent a lot of time in the chapel entertaining myself as he practiced marching down the aisle, handing over rings, smuggling in tequila shots and body-blocking any attempts the bride might have of going "runaway" – you know, typical Best Man duties.
Having been raised in a church, I know how to find all the best hiding spots, and I felt immediately at home. Curled in a cool, dark alcove between the pipe organ and a wood-carved dove of peace, I listened to music on my iPhone and surfed the World Wide Web – reading The Guardian, watching this and this, and wondering why Facebook suggested I be friends with Bill Murray (who I still haven't forgiven for dog-earing my copy of Dubliners).
Rice Memorial Chapel, the house of God in question, is tucked centrally on the campus grounds of Rice University. It's a lovely, small chapel, decorated with gold tile and royal blue carpeting. It is noticeably lacking in denominational iconography – a single, movable, wood cross sat off-stage – which is to be expected, I suppose, from a University that specializes in applied sciences. Stained glass glorifying Dr. Willem Kolff healing the crippled with Jarvik-7's and panels depicting various stages of the Scopes "Monkey" Trial would not have seemed out of place.

Newgrounds [1] (founded on July 6, 1995 by Tom Fulp) [2] is an online website where amateur computer game designers, movie-makers and audio creators, using "Flash" animation, can post their creations to an internet portal so other people can have the chance to see their work and try their games. It is often used by new game designers to test out their projects to see if they are well received. Anyone can create an account, play the games and vote on them. The better games tend to get good votes and stay in the higher rankings, while the poorly made games tend to quickly fall off the charts. Newgrounds does not censor it's content, so although most games are fine for everyone, some of the material may be deemed too violent for the general public.

Four Honored with Clarkson University's Most Prestigious Alumni Award
John M. Brilbeck of Naples, Fla., former president and owner of Southern Heat Exchanger Corporation; Michael E. Jesanis of Sunapee N.H., founder and managing director or HotZero LLC ; John R. Rhodes Jr. of Laconia, N.H. and Estero, Fla., retired partner in SAP, Oracle, and Supply Chain Consulting Practices at IBM ; and Peter J. Radosta of Erieville, N.Y., senior vice president and partner at Koester Associates, have all been honored with the Golden Knight Award by their alma mater, Clarkson University.
Presented each year during Reunion Weekend, Clarkson's most prestigious alumni award is given to alumni who have distinguished themselves either by service to Clarkson through Alumni Associated activities or have demonstrated outstanding career achievement, bringing distinction to themselves and to Clarkson.
John M. Brilbeck
John M. Brilbeck received his bachelor of science degree in industrial distribution from Clarkson University in 1968 and was a member of the Omicron Pi Omicron fraternity. He received his master of business administration degree from Syracuse University in 1971.
Brilbeck began his business career with Carrier Corporation in 1968, achieving several management positions before moving to Southern Heat Exchanger in 1981.
As president and owner of Southern Heat Exchanger Corporation in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, from 1985 to 2000, Brilbeck directed the corporation's 600 percent growth in sales and 1,200 percent growth in profit from 1981. He increased the plant size three times and implemented innovative cost reduction programs in manufacturing and engineering, while establishing the strong market presence needed to increase the company's market share. At the time the company was sold to Harbor Group in 1998, it was the third largest supplier of shell and tube heat exchangers in the United States and was debt-free.
Brilbeck was a member of the board of directors executive committee for Regions Bank, president's cabinet and president's national advisory committee for the University of Alabama, and a member of boards of directors of the West Alabama Chamber of Commerce, the Holy Spirit School Foundation, the American Sports Medical Institute, Heat Transfer Research Inc., and the Shelton State Community College Foundation. He is past president of the Tubular Exchanges Manufacturers Association and has served as a member of many community committees and fundraising campaigns.
In 2009, Brilbeck was elected to serve on the Clarkson University Board of Trustees. He currently serves as co-chair of the highly successful Evolution to Excellence (E2E) Campaign and is a member of the development committee.
Brilbeck resides in Naples, Fla., with his wife, Pamela. They have four adult children.
Michael E. Jesanis
Michael E. Jesanis received his bachelor of science and master of science degrees in mathematics from Clarkson University. While at Clarkson, he was a member of Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity and Pi Mu Epsilon honor society.
In 1983, Jesanis received an MBA with high distinction from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and received an honorary doctorate from Becker College, where he served as a trustee for 12 years, including four as board chair.
HotZero LLC is a company formed to create low carbon heating options in communities not served by natural gas. Jesanis is also an advisor to companies, governments and nonprofits in traditional and emerging energy fields.
Previously, Jesanis was president and chief executive officer of National Grid USA and a director of National Grid plc. During his 23-year career with National Grid and its predecessor, New England Electric System (NEES), Jesanis led a transformation of a small regional integrated utility into the country's second largest energy delivery company.
Jesanis now serves on the board of directors of NiSource Inc., a utility holding company based in Ind., and Ameresco Inc., an energy services company based in Framingham, Mass.
Jesanis also serves on the Clarkson University board of trustees. As an alumnus, Jesanis and his wife, Janet, have generously endowed a faculty chair.
They reside in Sunapee, N.H., and have two sons, Clarkson alumnus Greg '11 and Andy.
Peter J. Radosta
Peter J. Radosta received his bachelor of science degree in civil and environmental engineering from Clarkson University in 1988. As a student, Radosta was a member of Phalanx and the Chi Epsilon and Tau Beta Pi Honor Societies. He served as a resident advisor and director, and is a founding member of the Iota Zeta Chapter of Sigma Chi Fraternity.
As senior vice president and partner at Koester Associates, his responsibilities include client development, strategic planning and project management. He is a leader in his field, with unique abilities in the design and implementation of sustainable infrastructure solutions for municipal drinking water and wastewater treatment systems. He fosters key relationships with market professionals including regulatory personnel, public officials, consulting engineers and equipment manufacturers. Radosta is particularly adept at creating viable solutions for financially strained municipalities, attributing his Clarkson education to how he approaches complex projects.
Early in his career, Radosta worked as a consulting engineer, and then as a professional ski patroller and emergency medical technician. It is this set of experiences that shaped Radosta's progressive approach to his career development. Radosta is a licensed Professional Engineer in New York State and is a Board Certified Member of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers.
He is the former president of the Clarkson Alumni Association and he has been recognized with leadership awards from his peers, industry organizations and from Clarkson. His membership in Clarkson's Annie Clarkson Society is symbolic of Radosta's long-term view of his endeavors.
Radosta and his wife, Karen Storne, reside in Erieville, N.Y. Actively involved in his community, Radosta served as a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals and as board member of the Madison County Animal Shelter. His interests include travel, photography and boatbuilding. An avid runner, Radosta has completed 38 marathons and is an accomplished telemark skier and endurance cyclist.
John "Dusty" Rhodes
John "Dusty" Rhodes received his bachelor of science in chemical engineering from Clarkson in 1978. While a student at Clarkson, he served as a class representative to the Clarkson College Student Association and served on the College Union Board. Rhodes was also a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon social fraternity and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. In 1988, he received his master of business administration from the University of Chicago.
After graduation, Rhodes went to work for Olin Chemical in Lake Charles, La., and spent the next 15 years working in a variety of roles including research, process design, plant construction, and operations management. Throughout those years, there were job transfers to Louisville, Ky., where his son, Aaron, was born; Chicago, Ill., where his daughter Carly was born; and Stamford, Conn.
In 1993, he left Olin and joined Price Waterhouse as a business consultant. Shortly thereafter, Price Waterhouse merged with Coopers & Lybrand to form PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). Rhodes made partner in 1998. In 2002, the consulting division of PwC was purchased by IBM and Rhodes became an employee of "Big Blue." Throughout this period, he served as a partner in the SAP, Oracle and Supply Chain Consulting Practices -- doing work in the areas of project management, custom development, package implementation, package maintenance and systems planning. During this time, he managed work for Hitachi America, Bestfoods, Harley Davidson, Rockwell International, Disney and many others.
Rhodes stays involved with Clarkson in a variety of ways. In 2001, he and his wife, Kathy, joined the Parents Committee and held various roles until their son, Aaron, graduated in 2005. Rhodes then joined the Business Leadership Council for the Clarkson School of Business and is currently the council chair. He has also served as a representative on the IBM/Clarkson relationship team and as the Clarkson recruiting leader for IBM. In this role, he was instrumental in interviewing, selecting and hiring well over 100 talented Clarkson students. Currently, Rhodes also sits on the Clarkson University Alumni Council, where he has been active for several years.
Rhodes and Kathy raised Aaron '05 and Carly in Danbury and Wilton, Conn., where Rhodes was very involved as a Little League coach and Boy Scout leader. Recently retired from IBM, he now splits his time between homes in Estero, Fla., and Laconia, N.H. He volunteers regularly for Habitat for Humanity and enjoys hiking, golfing, fishing, boating, skiing and traveling.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

All Alone, Well Almost
Let's rewind to before Twilight. And Bella wasn't an only child. She had an older sister, and younger brother and both Charlie and Renee` never boke up. Then one night they all were killed, except her younger brother.
I hope everyone likes it!!! i know i do
1. Nightmares and Cullen's the friendly Vampires
Rating 5/5 Word Count 960 Review this Chapter
I shot up from my bed my body shaking with sobs. All that had happened 4 years ago. And ever since then I've been moving from place to place with Dominic. As much as I wish I could forget what happened that night years ago I couldn't. They were still hunting us. Though the third member had left, so now it was just Victoria and James hunting us now. I looked at the clock it was almost time to wake up Dominic. Burying my face in my hands and let one last cry escape my mouth.
"Dominic, time to wake up sweetie," I was now the only one taking care of him, though he didn't seem to mind too much.
I smiled, "Lets hope we get to stay in Forks a little while longer, since we live in grandma and grandpa's house and well since they are dead and we get everything lets cross out fingers." I told him.
Even though I was the only one supporting us I still went to school. I was hoping that if I at least finished high school I could get a better job. I had an after school job right now.
School was great! Everyone was nice. I was acutely enjoying it, until lunch. That was when everything went downhill.
I was talking to a group of people when I saw them. "Who are they?" I asked. They had pale skin, inhumanly beautiful looks, and pitch black eyes.
"The Cullen's and Hales," a short girl answered, at that they looked over in our direction. "I'll be right back." I said standing up and leaving the cafeteria. Please don't fallow me. I begged silently. This is a good place for Dominic to grow up; there is more of a chance for me to get a good job! I continued my thoughts.
"Hi, my name is Edward Cullen, is everything alright?" asked a young man coming out from the shadows with a concerned look on his face. I sucked in a breath and started to run as fast as I could towards Dominic's school. I could hear him calling after me, but I didn't pay attention. I bet they sent them. To my luck Dominic was outside. He smiled till he saw the look on my face. Looking around he grabbed his backpack and met me outside of the school boundaries,
"We have to go, NOW!" I panted. He simply nodded his head. I pulled him along impatiently,
"Why do we have to leave?" He asked.
"More…. vampires…..here." I gasped in between breaths.
"Victoria? James? How did they find us so quickly?" Dominic asked in a shaky voice. I just shook my head and continued to pull him along.
When we were about half of the way home a silver Volvo pulled up in front of us. I froze, the window rolled down. A kind face peered out at us.
"Hi, we saw you in the cafeteria today, my name is Alice Cullen. Are you alright?" asked a small pixie like vampire asked. I quickly shifted Dominic behind me.
"What do you want?" I spat in their direction. The vampire looked shocked.
"We just want to help what's your problem?" asked a large guy.
"Please just leave us alone." I snapped. I was good at hiding my true emotions now, I may have seemed angry on the outside but on the inside I was scared stiff.
"Why are so mean? It's not like we've done anything to you." The pixie like one asked me.
She turned around and asked the driver and asked something I couldn't understand. The driver was Edward Cullen if I remembered correctly. Instead of answering he just frowned and shook his head. The he leaned so he could see Dominic. At that I turned with his gaze doing my best to keep Dominic from their curious gazes.
"Who are Victoria and James?" Edward asked, directing this question at my little brother. "What? I mean they sent you to kill us right? Oh no they probably want that part to themselves," I said.
"No Bells I don't think they sent them." Dominic informed me.
"And how are you so sure?" I asked him not even turning to look at my little brother's face.
"These vamps seem nice." He simply answered. I sighed and shook my head. Then slowly I relaxed."Okay well since my brother trusts you I guess I can, but I swear if you hurt him I will find a way to hurt you. Got that?" I asked staring at them. They all nodded their heads. "Who are Victoria and James?" Edward asked again. I sighed and opened my mouth to tell these complete strangers who at any moment could kill us and began my story.

Hey Mr Il Prato..Did ya'll hear that boom that shook windows and rattled glassware up there in New York City ?? That was my knees hitting the flooor r... I not only had your selection (Game) but also loaded up on a half time Par, Kansas -1½ and over 75, and another strianght bet on the second halfl at -1½, to go alone with pressing the front end. I had "Wins" coming out of my behind...Thanks a lot for sharing.
Mr Ilprato...
Thirty minutes til kick off, Baltimore Raven +8 ( I bet early before it dropped), but how about the Total? and the Other Game,... I'm going under and then the New York Giants. Should we'all wait for
your selection, or go ahead...I have your Post for the Ravens, you had a few days ago ... anymore to come.
I , we all at " Killing Time Bar", in Alabama want to say, Thank You and ROLL TIDE !!!.
I will commit to New England and the OVER unless the lines move with some steam but a gradual movement will not scare me off....
Also, I will hedge my bet with a teaser including NYG and the OVER to offset my parlay on New England and the OVER.
I do NOT feel that Vegas has made a mistake by opening up with NYG +4 and much of the public taking the bait with that crucial # above the field goal.
I have read and understand the statistics and trends are mostly in favor of NYG so ask all of you why are they not favored then?
4 plays at 5 units ea.
Mr Ilprato and Whitesnake, how about you two take a look at Rotation
717, Ga Sou +7½ and plus $280 Money Line. .. Not so much that they will Cover, ..... But, I think Ga Southern will win out right. UT Chatt hasn't won in last five, check them out.
Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn if he looks long enough.
ILPRATO do you cap for the nba and how are you doing.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (website)
Completion of the FAFSA is a necessary prerequisite for any kind of University financial aid, including student loans and work study.
Some tips:
- Complete the form as early as possible. It draws from figures in your federal tax return, so it makes sense to complete it soon after you file your taxes. For instance, if you file your 2006 taxes in April 2007, you should also submit your FAFSA for the school year 2007-2008.
- Check the box that states you want to be considered for work study during the school year. Basically, you get paid to do your own research as a work study job.

This morning's Wall Street Journal (WSJ) features a story about a federal raid over wood imported from Asia and Africa. The article, co-authored by JAMES R. HAGERTY and KRIS MAHER, states among other things:
"…Though no charges have been filed, Gibson factories have been raided twice, most recently last week, by federal agents who say ebony exported from India to Gibson was "fraudulently" labeled to conceal a contravention of Indian export law…"
The Lacey Act of 1900
The company argues that middlemen overseas may have signed export papers my mistake, and this may tripped Gibson over the Lacey Act. Originally passed in 1900 to regulate trade in bird feathers, the Lacey Act was amended in 2008 to cover wood "…and other plant products…"
For all details, please read the article at the Journal (WSJ).
Implications for woodworkers
Whether hobby or pro woodworkers, you and I are subject to the Lacey Act. Suppose you are traveling in India or Africa, and you bring back some wood — maybe a little piece you hand-carry on the airplane, or you sent some in your luggage. It is very possible you could be tagged for being in violation of the Act, unless you fill out the proper paperwork. From the U.S. Department of Agriculture's page describing how this works:
The Lacey Act combats trafficking in "illegal" wildlife, fish, and plants. The 2008 Farm Bill (the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008), effective May 22, 2008, amended the Lacey Act by expanding its protection to a broader range of plants and plant products. The Lacey Act now, among other things, makes it unlawful, beginning December 15, 2008, to import certain plants and plant products without an import declaration. This page will serve as a clearinghouse for all information related to the implementation of the Lacey Act declaration requirement and will be updated promptly as new information becomes available.
What do you think?
What is YOUR take?
- Is the declaration paperwork all that is required to avoid arrest?
- Or does the law kick in only when the paperwork is not filled to satisfaction?
- Do limits exist to the quantity that can be imported?
- Does the ban apply to "finished" or "partially finished" wood?

Iron Cross Director Sues Variety Over Oscar Shakedown
Joshua Newton, the director who thought a $400,000 Oscar campaign in Variety would buy his movie a positive review, has made good on his threat to sue the Hollywood trade.
Newton told Gawker last week that he was contemplating a lawsuit, and he filed it in Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday. We haven't seen a copy of the complaint yet, but according to the Wrap, Newton and his fellow producers claim Variety engaged in "breach of contract and fiduciary duty, negligence, fraud and unfair business practices" when it sold nearly a half a million in ads designed to get Iron Cross Oscar recognition only to turn around and publish a harsh review that "seriously undermined, if not completely destroyed," the prospect. They're seeking damages in excess of $25,000.
Newton initially prevailed upon Variety to pull down the review by freelance critic Robert Koehler from its web site in December, as we reported last month. But it has since been republished. Koehler told Gawker that his Iron Cross assignment was a "very routine" review, and that he had no idea it had been taken down until a month ago. When he inquired with his editors at Variety as to what happened to it, he said, "they were as much in the dark as I was." He eventually learned that the review had been taken down in response to Newton's complaint, but says his editors "sat down and saw the film, and they backed my review. That's why they reposted it."

The date Marty McFly and Doc Brown travelled into the future in 'Back to the Future II' is only days away.
The fictional hoverboards from the film might still be years away from becoming reality but one thing that is very much part of the present day is the symbolic DeLorean DMC-12 car.
The DeLorean DMC-12, which was made in Belfast, was used as a time machine in the 'Back to the Future' franchise and there's a 1981 model for sale outside Moira in Co. Down.
Marty and Doc famously travelled through time in the customised DeLorean DMC-12 IN 1989. Only about 9,000 DeLorean DMC-12s were made between 1981 and 1983 and the rare cars have become a collector's item ever since.
A seller in Moira, Co. Down, has put up his red 1981 DMC-12 for sale on Gumtree. The asking price is £25,000.
Those interested can get in touch with the seller via Gumtree: DeLorean For Sale.

California health officials say they are investigating a foodborne illness outbreak associated with salmonella-tainted mangoes that has sickened 73 people.
Authorities say they are still probing what prompted the outbreak of salmonella Braenderup cases in California and trying to identify which specific mango brands or sources might be tied to the illnesses.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency also recently reported illnesses resulting from the same bacterial strain.
Officials with the California Department of Public Health say they are working with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Canadian public health and food safety agencies to pinpoint the cause.
The founder of a distributor in Burlingame, Calif., told NBC News that his company had issued a voluntary recall of Daniella brand mangoes imported from Mexico. He didn't estimate how many mangoes had been recalled since contamination was first detectedlast month.

New Mexico Tech Named One of Princeton Review's Best Colleges, Aug. 23, 2006
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., Aug. 23, 2006 – New Mexico Tech is again ranked as one of the nation's best institutions for an undergraduate education, according to the recently published 2007 edition of The Princeton Review Guide to the Best 361 Colleges.
The Princeton Review's annual survey, which is based on provided "inside information" and candid interviews conducted with about 115,000 students currently attending the various colleges and universities listed in the book, rated New Mexico Tech highly in such areas as student admissions, financial aid options, and academics.
"We chose schools for this book primarily for their outstanding academics," says Robert Franek, vice president for publishing for The Princeton Review. "We evaluated them based on institutional data we collect about the schools, feedback from students attending them, and our visits to schools over the years. We also consider the opinions of independent college counselors, students, and parents we hear from and survey year-long. Finally, we work to have a wide representation of colleges in the book by region, size, selectivity, and character."
Only about 15 percent of the four-year colleges in the United States and two Canadian colleges are profiled in this latest 15th edition of the popular "best colleges" annual guidebook.
Known for its test-prep courses, books, and college and grad school admissions services, The Princeton Review is an education services company, and is not affiliated with Princeton University or ETS.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA – Andrew Bascom (Franklin, MA/Franklin) scored deep in the fourth overtime to lift visiting Western Connecticut State University over the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 13-12, in a Little East Conference men's lacrosse quarter-final playoff game at Cressy Field Tuesday evening. The victory upped the Colonials record to 9-8 and they will now travel to take on the number two-seeded Warriors of Eastern Connecticut State University on Friday. The Corsairs end their season at 10-5.
Junior midfielder Jordan MacPherson (Westwood, MA/Westwood) netted the equalizer for the home team with three seconds left in regulation when he scored an unassisted goal following an end-to-end run down the field.
MacPherson had a team-high three goals to lead UMass Dartmouth. Junior Adam Niden (Walpole, MA/Walpole) and freshman Nicklaus Prozinski (Ashland, MA/Ashland) each added a pair of goals with five other Corsairs chipping in a single marker. Niden also dished out a game-high three assists.
Ryan Foster (Ledyard, CT/Ledyard) scored a game-high four goals to pace Western Connecticut and teammate Nate Wilson (Norwich, CT/Norwich Free Academy) had a hat trick. Nick Foley (Walpole, MA/Walpole) and John Foristall (Danbury, CT/Danbury) each had two goals and two assists for the Colonials.
Junior defenseman Steve Tarpey (Shrewsbury, MA/Shrewsbury) had game-highs in caused turnovers (five) and ground balls (10) for UMass Dartmouth.
The Corsairs outshot the Colonials, 46-36 (32-23 on goal), and held a 56-53 edge in ground balls. UMD held a 19-11 edge in face offs.
Kevin Seery (East Lyme, CT/East Lyme) made 20 saves in goal for WCSU, including nine in the four overtime periods, as he evened his record at 6-6. Junior goalkeeper Nick Thayer (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford) finished with 10 stops for the Corsairs as he ended the year at 10-5.
"It was a tough one," said UMass Dartmouth Kevin Mahoney. "We came out of the chute a little bit too tight and we were forcing things. When we finally loosened up, we came back and played. We did a lot of good things. We had great contributions from our five seniors; they did a great job across the board. We had kids step up across the lineup today. We had freshmen, sophomores and juniors do a good job. We came back and took them to four overtimes. We did a great job and unfortunately, at the end, we played a good, quality opponent and didn't finish all our opportunities."
"In the end, it's one of the things we're going to have to live with until the next season starts," added Mahoney. "We did a good job. We had a nice record at 10-5. I wish we could have had a few more 'W's' and fewer losses, but we did pretty well. We're going to have pretty much the same returning team next year and I'm excited about the next season. Again, this was a great season. I enjoyed the team thoroughly from top to bottom. It was a great team; we did a lot of great things. I really enjoyed the season and it's unfortunate that it's over."

Good luck trying not to faint while reading
FanGraphs' J.P. Breen has a post up about Chris Carter and a potential breakout 2014 season. There is a comparison which will surprise, nay, shock you, with some statistical analysis to back it up. I don't want to spoil your surprise and glee and delight, so just click the link, read, and be amazed...
2 comments:
This analysis, at its best, is akin to technical analysis for stocks. At its worst, it is akin to astrology. Its ironic that it comes from people who like to think of themselves as objective and scientific.

But everything he says in his article is true... my tarot card reader said so...

Tech Club Makes Holiday Merrier for Socorro Families, Dec. 14, 2001
SOCORRO, N.M., December 12, 2001 -- In a tangible expression of holiday spirit, all the members of the New Mexico Tech Club decided at their last meeting to raise at least $125 to "sponsor" a Socorro family, providing the parents and children with presents and food items and ensuring the family's Christmas dinner would be a special one this year.
However, soon after taking up a collection among its ranks, Tech Club members quickly realized that the total for donations collected was $137 more than the initial goal.
As is usually the case, too much money was not a problem!
The overachieving generosity of the club's members has instead resulted in two Socorro families receiving toys, clothes, and food for the holidays--courtesy of the New Mexico Tech Club.
