|Yes, that is a camping shovel. Don't judge me.
I just filled out Vivi's summer camp paperwork. I can hardly stand it, I am so excited for her. To be honest, I've been mentally making plans for her to attend camp ever since I got pregnant. I remember thinking, "How old can she be when she starts camp?," and when I discovered I had to wait a whole four years, I was crestfallen. But now the wait is over! The time is upon us...
...and so, apparently, is spring! I had planned a cooking day yesterday; I made minestrone and applesauce to freeze. I brought up a bunch of boxes of toys from the basement that had been out of the rotation for a while, both because I knew it would keep the girls occupied and because in March, I officially begin my spring cleaning bonanza. In the midst of chopping vegetables, I stepped out on the porch to dump a cutting board full of odds and ends into the compost bucket. I braced myself for the usual biting cold, but it was surprisingly comfortable. I immediately ran back inside, turned off my burners, and grabbed the kids to play in the yard. You learn quickly not to dally inside on a warm Boston winter day.
|Any chance you might want to play baseball with me, Mommy? The kid is GOOD.
|Check out Charlie's muddy pants. A sure sign of spring 'round this here part of the world.
Yesterday's warmth provided the perfect opportunity to discuss the names and features of the four seasons. Vivi said spring was when the leaves came back and the animals came out of "bibernation," but she couldn't remember what that other season was called that came between spring and fall. What did we do then?, she wanted to to know. I delighted in explaining the vacation we have planned to Georgia to visit family and that I had enrolled her in summer camp. I wish I could accurately describe the look of pure joy on her face when she heard all of the things she would do at camp, like care for animals and hike the woods. "I will be covered in MUD? I can't wait!!"
I believe getting dirty in the summer is a fundamental childhood right of passage. "Dirt therapy," as I'll call it, is not limited to jumping in camp mud pits, although I admit that might be the single best way to experience it. Digging in the dirt in your own backyard can also be therapeutic. One of my first memories is when I lived in Texas with my parents, and my mom found a garden snake outside and let me hold it. I remember being awed by the close interaction with nature and that my mom wasn't afraid of it. I also remember feeling perfectly at peace while making mud pies...and then riding my Big Wheel to deliver them to neighbors.
This year we'll start our own first family garden. We are renting our home, so it seems like raised beds will be the way to go. I am keeping an eye on Freecycle to see if anyone has wood I can reclaim for the job; or, I could always use pallets. Have you noticed how many people are upcycling pallets lately?
Having never grown plants from seed, I was a little unsure of where to begin, so I emailed my mom (an avid gardener and professional landscaper) back in January, and she wrote:
Here's an idea to start your garden early and inexpensively. Plant seeds indoors in peat pots or plastic trays. Your basement will do nicely if you can find a table or board or ironing board to set them on. They won't need light immediately but will eventually. Get yourself ready by gradually finding the seeds (Whole Foods has organic seeds, I'm told), the planting soil (use potting soil w/those little white flecks in it), and the peat pots or plastic trays. Wait until February to start. Check the seed packet for germination tables. If you are willing to move them to a well lit area, you can keep them in the house as the plants grow. If you use ice cube trays (w/holes), you can move the plant "up" to a larger container as the roots grow.
Once I began gathering and assembling my toilet paper rolls, I got a great haul of lots of gardening equipment (and a rain barrel!) from a Freecycler; the loot came with two big seed trays. Then I spent a lot of time browsing seeds before finally settling on sweet peppers and cherry tomatoes, which I knew could be grown in pots if that's what we decided on.
|Look closely and you will see remnants of cat mischief on a leaf. She left hairs behind as evidence.
After about a month of germinating, our little seedings are sprouting! They provide a good opportunity for me to educate Vivi on some basic science facts about photosynthesis and an opportunity for her to grow her patience muscle. Vivi and I occasionally wander over to the "incubator" in the office (i.e. front-and-center position on the buffet in front of the big bay window) to water them and talk to them. We tell them how cute they are and how we can't wait to eat their veggie babies.
Ever since Emily guest-posted about preparing her spring garden, I've been watching the calendar for when we can start ours; Texas and Massachusetts have slightly different weather patterns, so it appears we have a while to go before planting outdoors. For now, we'll continue to nurse our newborn sprouts.
compost secrets. Our first year in Massachusetts was all about nesting and building a routine, and now that we are certain we'll be staying a while, I can begin really planting roots and calling this place home.
Do you garden with your kids? What's your favorite dirt therapy?

Manufacturers bring top-end sticks to childhood favorite
Knee hockey is one of the numerous things that makes hockey what it is. Not many sports have a portable, miniature version that can be played just about anywhere.
Just think back to travel tournaments and the countless hotel hallways you were expelled from when playing knee hockey. Knee hockey just happens to be a portion of hockey culture that makes our sport so incredibly unique.
Not unlike the full size version of the sport, knee hockey has seen a number of advances in recent years. Manufacturers now make miniature nets (not necessarily a new development) which inevitably saves desks, tables, chairs and hallway radiators from the beating that comes along with the game. In addition, the days of dipping your straight-blade plastic stick in boiling water to create a curve are over. Now you can choose a mini stick from a plethora of choices that are near mirror images to the full size sticks made by hockey's biggest manufacturers.
Warrior, Bauer, CCM, Reebok and Sher-Wood all have created their own composite mini sticks complete with curves and identical design patterns to that of the full size retail sticks you use on the ice. What these sticks do is add a little style and extra performance to a rec-room or travel tournament classic.
Reebok not only has a mini composite version of their new 20K stick, they also introduced a composite goal stick that is patterned after the 11K composite goal stick that is being used throughout the NHL – this follows previous miniature versions of the O-Stick and A.I.9. CCM also produced a mini composite of their premier stick with a mini RBZ. Like the 20K, the mini RBZ also sports the same markings and art that the top model does – although it doesn't provide some of the technological advances that the full size stick does.
Both CCM and Reebok have their own net models as well which can be set up in your basement or rec room to add even more of an ice element to each knee game.
Bauer actually has a Vapor APX and TotalOne NXG for you to choose from while Sher-Wood's collection spans the entire NHL. So, for those of you who are nostalgic for the straight plastic, team-branded sticks of the past, perhaps the Sher-Wood team models would provide a nice transition.
While I can't attest if the composite mini sticks can add performance to your knee hockey game as their full-size cousins do for ice hockey, I can say they bring a cool wrinkle to a game that you should never need an excuse to play.
I, for one, am seriously considering setting up a knee hockey rink as part of my man cave in the very near future.

The n9 libferris app now allows you to search by the URL of the file as before, but also now by the file text content and it's modification time. Query type is selected by a button in the top right corner which unfortunately isn't nearly as easy to read in the video file as it is in real life.
As libferris handles extraction, update, and storage of metadata from disparate locations I have also added a sprinkling of what that means into the video. Notice that the first search by URL shows a comment "REST interface to libferris" in bold. This is simply the "annotation" metadata of the file but is much more interesting to the searcher than it's URL. Likewise in the second query, which finds a Gutenburg text file by searhing on text content, the annotation offers the name of the book that the file contains. Again much more interesting content to the human who is at the helm.
The third query is on the modification time of the files. There are three ways offered to perform a time search, "more recently than this" or "than last" which can have month or day as options for example, and modified >= X months ago which obviously wants a number as the query text. When querying by time like this, libferris happily accepts some human readable terms like "begin this month" as the time you specify. This makes it just as convenient to use search in scripts as in the dedicated front ends like the n9 app.
The plan is as always, to push metadata from being an after thought to being a first class citizen: able to be created, read, written, indexed, and searched on. Any file with metadata should be able to expose that as simply as its mtime or size, which is all currently done via a key-value "Extended Attribute" interface at the lowest level.
If you like libferris or the recent updates (status.net mounting, these indexing tweaks etc) then please consider making a donation. If you want to use this technology at a corporate level, please feel free to contact me.

If Nicola Sturgeon gets her way, Scotland will soon be marching out of the United Kingdom. But at Aintree, three equally redoubtable ladies voted in and wanted to be very much part of one of the UK's greatest institutions.
The Randox Health Grand National was delivered by trainer Lucinda Russell and owners Belinda McClung and Deborah Thomson, who didn't even have to call a referendum to vote yes for ONE FOR ARTHUR, polished winner of the £1 million showpiece.
The 8yo provided Scotland with only its second winner in the history of the iconic race, 38 years after its first, RUBSTIC. And Russell, McClung and Thomson ensured that Aintree's annually momentous Ladies' Day on the Friday was followed swiftly by another, as indeed it had been preceded by a third thanks to jockey Lizzie Kelly's success on TEA FOR TWO in the big race of the opening exchanges of the three-day festival, the Betway Bowl.
If ever evidence was needed to prove that racing is a more accessible, more level playing-field for women than most sports, this was it.
Russell might have one of the most illustrious names in Jumps racing as her partner. And Peter Scudamore might have ridden the winners of 1,678 winners on his way to being champion jockey eight times. But she is very much the boss of the stables, tucked away in the beautiful countryside of Kinross, half-an-hour from Edinburgh Airport. In fact, Scu matches her only in the stakes of affability and dedication to the horses in the yard.
Similarly, McClung and Thomson, friends since school, boast an admirably independent and determined streak. Their ownership tag of Two Golf Widows reflects the fact that their other halves spend most of their leisure time on the fairways and greens, so one day "after a few gins at Kelso races", they decided to plough their own sporting furrow and fork out £60,000 between them for a racehorse. The rest, as One For Arthur ensured on Saturday, is history.
I don't buy into the theory that such a tale will encourage "ordinary folk", whoever they might be, that they too can own a National winner. McClung and Thomson are clearly ladies not lacking in wealth or class. Not for them Ladies' Day morning spent in some back-street tanning salon and nail bar in Liverpool city centre. But nevertheless, it is still the kind of heart-warmer so synonymous with the National, and one that capped a race made memorable for all the right reasons. Not least for the quality of One For Arthur's performance, unleashed in a hold-up style very rarely seen in the modern version of the contest.
Most Aintree victors of recent years have raced close to the pace, which often ranges from fast to frenetic, particularly on ground with Good in its description, as it did on Saturday. But off a gallop no more than even and sensible, jockey Derek Fox was able to execute the epitome of a waiting ride, sitting quietly as the son of Milan lobbed and jumped to his heart's content. Appropriately, on the 40th anniversary of the hat-trick win of Ginger McCain's legend, he also tracked similar, wide tramlines to the ones created all those years ago by the mighty Red Rum.
Even as late as the second Canal Turn, One For Arthur had a mere handful of rivals behind him, but from the fourth last, Fox triggered the kind of scything manoeuvre through and past opponents that had worked to such ruthless effect when he landed the Betfred Classic Chase on his previous outing at Warwick in January. On the long run from the third last, across the Melling Road, the 8yo made ground with such powerful panache that he actually jumped the second last upsides the favourite, BLAKLION, who had shot many lengths clear of him just seconds earlier. From there, his copper-bottomed stamina saw to the rest.
It was a beautifully judged piece of horsemanship by the 24-year-old Fox, particularly as it was his first experience of the race and particularly as he had broken his left wrist and right collarbone in a fall at Carlisle a month earlier and had only just been passed fit to ride again. Well done to him for acknowledging the role played by the Jack Berry House rehabilitation centre in Malton in steering him back to prime condition. Given that the centre is operated and funded by the Injured Jockeys' Fund, even many of those who didn't back One For Arthur can safely say they had a telling financial hand in his victory by taking part in the annual ritual of buying the charity's Christmas cards.
A word or two on the placed horses too. What a trooper CAUSE OF CAUSES has developed into. The winner of three different races at the Cheltenham Festival, he could not be faulted in almost turning Jamie Codd into the first amateur to ride the winner since Marcus Armytage in 1990. And what a trooper SAINT ARE is too. In his 12th race at Aintree, his seventh over the unique fences and his fourth National, he almost matched his heroic second to the ill-fated Many Clouds in 2015.
Blaklion deserves heaps of praise as well. Rarely have I seen a horse travel and jump through a National as efficiently and effortlessly as Nigel Twiston-Davies's 8yo. Indeed it was that, rather than a deliberate move by jockey Noel Fehily, for which he has been harshly criticised, that sent him spinning into a long lead from the third last. The knockers reckon he went too soon, Fehily reckoned he tied up two out, but Blaklion received a hefty bump from the winner at that obstacle which possibly cost him rhythm. He was still keeping on at the death and would be very interesting if handicapped attractively enough for a return tilt next year.
Willie Mullins's PLEASANT COMPANY might also be one to note if coming back in 2017, given how nicely he was going until making a shuddering blunder at the second Valentine's Brook that almost ejected Ruby Walsh. Similar bad luck at Becher's Brook afflicted DEFINITLY RED, who suffered saddle-dislodging interference by the fall of THE YOUNG MASTER on the first circuit, and UCELLO CONTI, who was hacking on the inner until intimidated by Saint Are veering across his path which forced Daryl Jacob out of the side door on the second circuit.
These were clear examples that misfortune still plays a key role in the nine or ten minutes it takes to run a Grand National. Thankfully, such misfortune no longer stretches to tragedy as, for the fifth year in succession, all runners returned home safe and sound. And from a PR perspective, given the race's monumental worldwide profile, that remains utterly crucial. There was a time not so long ago when many aficionados feared that racing was being held to ransom by the National and the black and bleak headlines it generated, which bore no resemblance to the everyday life and image of the sport. But now we are inching ever closer to the point where we can have confidence in the race. Yes, it remains an anomalous one-off and must always be treated as such, but it is one more likely to do good for racing than cause harm.
I have no doubt its new-found safety can be attributed to the modification of the fences and the insistence of a certain amount of give in the ground, the guarantee of which has been perfected by the watering policy of clerk of the course Andrew Tulloch. I walked the track on the first morning of the meeting and it is palpably obvious that the fences are not as formidable as they were once were, particularly one, two, four and five of each circuit, and it is pleasing that the dreaded drop to some, most notably Becher's, is steadily being eliminated. Spectacular falls, which were so integral to the fascination of Nationals of the past, have no place in today's world, and neither have the accidents that horses were tricked into by the callous ruse of a steep landing-side drop.
Softer and safer it might be, but the Grand National retains massive appeal among the general public. It is estimated that a quarter of the UK's entire population had a bet on this year's renewal. It also remains the centrepiece of the three-day meeting, even though the rest of the 21-race action is now unmissable fare. The quality and strength in depth of many of the Grade One races suffered this year in the absence of Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott, who kept their big guns at home to concentrate on their irresistible duel for the Irish trainers' title. It is worth recalling, for example, that Mullins saddled six winners, six runners-up and three thirds at the 2016 Aintree festival. However, the lack of a powerful Irish presence (they were 0 from 42 runners at the meeting) opened the door for UK trainers who had been battered into submission at Cheltenham -- and Colin Tizzard, for one, took full advantage, celebrating five winners to put the seal on a career-best campaign.
It must also be said that the shortage of strength in depth in some areas did not prevent six of the favourites for the 11 Grade Ones getting beat, and combined with the richly competitive handicaps, the meeting was not an easy time for punters. From a personal perspective, I cannot remember returning home with a profit from so few winners. To that curiosity I owe One For Arthur. Please forgive my self-indulgence for just a second, but when you've put up a horse as far back as January 15 as a likely National winner, advertised it through these very columns and supported it up with readies at 40/1, I think you're entitled to a pat on the back. Not for many years have I exuded as much excitement in the stands as I did when Saturday's race unfolded over its final mile, and I hope you shared it with me. It took me back to Highland Wedding, the first winner I ever had a flutter on, in this same race at the tender age of nine. Ah, the wonder of the Grand National. Long may it weave its magic.

Well I am back people! This whole past couple weeks have just been crazy at work and in combination with hunting bugs in my first early Beta of AssignmentTracker X I haven't had much time for this blog lately, but now I am back and things have settled down and I am already full of stuff to post. Hey I'm just a student people, give me a break. Well for today I am gonna post 2 things that made my own LicenseKeeper app a little bit better. (1)I liked that I could easily store all my serial numbers, but I wanted them sorted by default (2)When I resized the columns I wanted the app to keep track of the length of them Let's get sorting! Like many things in life Core Data has a slight trade-off in that you now have automatic data persistence, but the data is not sorted. If you create a Core Data app right now, like creating a simple table that displays entities with 1 attribute (lets say a name) and create a few entities without telling the array controller to sort them and then quit and reopen the app a few times, the order of the entities will be almost random every time. So people new to Core Data then ask how do we keep this data sorted? Well Apples Documentations spells it out like so " Objects in a persistent store are unordered. Typically you should impose order at the controller or view layer, based on an attribute such as creation date. If there is order inherent in your data, you need to explicitly model that." In other words it's up to you to sort your data. So all I did was create a controller class I called LKAppController with an outlet to the NSArrayController. Here is LSAppController.h.
#import < cocoa/cocoa.h > @interface LKAppController : NSObject { IBOutlet NSArrayController *licensesController; } @endThen I instantiated the class in Interface Builder and connected the outlet to the NSArrayController. And to sort the data I created a NSSortDescriptor and told the array controller to sort the objects it has with that sort descriptor in the awakeFromNib method. Here is LKAppController.m.
#import "LKAppController.h" @implementation LKAppController - (void)awakeFromNib { NSSortDescriptor * sd = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"name" ascending:YES]; [licensesController setSortDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:sd]]; [sd release]; } @endI should state that this is not Core Data specific, in fact this method can be applied to any array controller in Cocoa. Now this is easy because in this instance we have a bunch of objects that we just want to sort by their name. I suggest that if you have to have objects in some specific order for something like a Source list (where we might want some static items at the top then user items at the bottom of the list) that you create an attribute and call it something like "position" that's an int sort it like that or use some other attribute or method you like, the point is you must create the means to sort the way you want. The only area where it may get difficult to auto sort items is in NSOutlineViews in which case you may find this ( http://allusions.sourceforge.net/articles/treeDragPart2.php ) to be of interest. Keeping track of column length So now we have our data sorted by default I wanted to do something nice for myself and make the app remember the length of all the columns when I resized them so I could at any time change them to my hearts content. Many people don't realize you can do this, but if you poke around in the Cocoa Bindings you can bind the length as well as the minimum length and max length of the columns to an entity or in this case (to make things simple) to the preferences. So all you need to do is select the table column and go to the Bindings option in the IB Inspector. Select the width attribute. For this we'll bind to Shared User Defaults (once you select this you should see the "Shared Defaults" controller appear in the instances tab), with the controller key "values" and model key path "nameColumnHeaderWidth" for the name column. Repeat the process for each additional column (giving a unique name for each model key path) and now your app will remember the length of each column as you drag them! It's the nice little stuff like this that you do that your users will really appreciate when you put out your app.

Our funding
UNDP's funding channels
At approximately US$5 billion annually, donor contributions to UNDP represent about one-fifth of all contributions to the United Nations development system. These contributions are provided as either core resources—also known as regular resources—or non-core resources.
1. Core Resources
Regular resources provides for the most effective delivery of transformational results. This helps UNDP support the most vulnerable, promotes equity and enables the prompt response to crises. It also promotes coherence, accountability, transparency and quality assurance of the UN development system.
Learn more about our top contributors to regular resources
2. Thematic Funds
Thematic Funds are pooled funds that help UNDP achieve the targets outlined in its strategic plan. These funds contain monitoring and reporting mechanisms to support results- based management.
Thematic funds give UNDP flexibility to respond to country needs more effectively. They also facilitate longer term planning, sustainability and savings in transaction costs.
Learn more about the thematic funding windows
3. UN Pooled Funds
Sometimes, donors will pool money to support a particular project or programme. UN pooled funds range from those managed by the UN Secretariat (such as OCHA's Central Emergency Response Fund) to UNDP-administered Multi-Partner Trust Funds (MPTFs) and Joint Programmes (JPs). UNDP plays a role in designing, administering and implementing pooled funds.
UNDP takes its ethical responsibilities seriously. To prevent any conflict of interest, UNDP has created mechanisms to separate its roles in administering and implementing pooled funds. The UNDP Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office (MPTF) is the specialized unit dealing with pooled fund design and administration.
On average UNDP receives, as implementer, around one-third of the funding disbursed by MPTFs and JPs administered by the MPTF Office.
4. Earmarked Funds
Designated to specific programmes and projects, earmarked funds can be assigned at the global, regional and—most commonly—country levels.
Governments can contribute to UNDP programmes or projects in their own countries; this arrangement is called Government Cost-Sharing. These domestic resources are used for development projects that are in line with both National Development Plans and UNDP's Strategic Plan.
5. Vertical Funds
Vertical funds are created in response to high-visibility, single-issue advocacy campaigns and to tackle specific development issues. They are frequently administered by the World Bank. Their Boards or Steering Committees decide on funding portfolios and allocation criteria and are assisted by independent Secretariats.
The main Vertical Funds UNDP works with are:
Global Fund
UNDP has partnered with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria since 2003, supporting programmes in countries with limited ability to receive and manage this kind of fund.
Global Environment Facility
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is a vertical fund focused on global environmental issues. As a GEF implementing agency since 1992, UNDP supports countries to secure GEF resources and to meet global environmental obligations. UNDP offers integrated technical services for countries, including assistance on eligibility assessment, programme formulation, mobilization of co-financing, implementation oversight, and knowledge and results management.
Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol
The Multilateral Fund was established by the Second Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol and began operations in 1991. UNDP, as an implementing agency of the Fund, supports investment projects, demonstration projects that test approaches to development challenges, and provides technical assistance and feasibility studies.

Make no mistake — a catchy collar necklace and fit-and-flare peplum top will take you far this Fall. But it's the wardrobe well-stocked with iconic basics that truly goes the distance, for the simple reason that some classics never go out of style.
Consider the always on-trend UGG® Boots, which are as popular on the red carpet and the runway as they are on the street. Look for a pair that is equal parts timeless and exquisite, like the new Classic Short Sparkles. Featuring star-like sequins, glimmering metallic heel guard and flecks of sparkle to enhance the shearling-lined silhouette, it's the same celebrated short boot with an even more luxurious twist!
And while metallic just so happens to be of-the-moment this season, the fashionable truth remains that a little sparkle is always spectacular — making this a stylish staple for years to come.

Usually teams give full effort when they come to play the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. For some reason, Orlando gave negative effort tonight and it showed. New York dominated Orlando in a 108-86 blowout laugher that wasn't as close as the final score would indicate. Orlando, one of the better defensive teams in the league, gave no effort defensively and allowed the Knick offense to explode. The Knicks finished the night shooting 50%, but was at 61% shooting mid-way through the third. Carmelo Anthony was the star (finally) scoring 25 points on 9/15 shooting. Iman Shumpert also had a strong offensive game, scoring 25 points.
Here are my notes from the game:
- Its about time Carmelo!!! He finally played like… well, Carmelo Anthony tonight. These kind of performances should be, and used to be, the norm for Melo. Playing on an injured groin, the Knick star showed toughness and heart as he led the Knicks to victory tonight. He scored 25 points on an efficient 9/15 shooting. In the first half, Anthony killed Orlando in the post where he is a dominant force. Despite having Howard, the Magic had no answer for Anthony's inside game. His game moved to the perimeter as the game went on. He hit some mid-range shots late in the first half and then buried Orlando with sharp shooting 3 point shooting in the third quarter. With the Knicks up 86-49 at the 3:18 mark of the 3rd, Anthony took to the bench and got his well-deserved rest for the night. These last two games have been great for Anthony. The lack of heart and punkish attitude Anthony showed in the D'Antoni era of 2011 have made me dislike Carmelo, but he is winning me back with performance. Tonight, was truly dominant. This is the guy the Knicks traded for. If New York is to make a deep playoff run, they need Melo to step up like he did tonight.
- Its awesome when the Knicks actually make shots. The fact that they shot 35% isn't indicative of how they actually shot tonight. They hit 12 three pointers in the game and at one point were shooting over 50% from downtown. I know its an obvious statement, but this Knicks team is really good when they hit their shots. It's miraculous the Knicks win any games shooting 31% from downtown on the season. I loved the way the Knicks moved the ball tonight. Melo would often penetrate and kick. Then the Knicks would move the ball around the perimeter and got an open shot. The Knicks must do more of this to help their poor outside shooting.
- Tyson Chandler owns Dwight Howard. Tonight, Chandler completely held Dwight Howard in check. Howard was no superman tonight. He looked like a flailing Aquaman, dying in the middle of the Sahara desert. Chandler held the best center in the league to 12 points and 5 rebounds. In the two Knick-Magic match ups this season, Chandler has held Howard to 20 points and 15 rebounds. On the season, Howard averages 21 ppg and 14.7 rpg. This season, Howard has had a lot of big games. He's dominated Andrew Bynum, Roy Hibbert and Joakim Noah. Against Tyson Chandler, Howard has been completely neutralized. The Knicks may have found their kryptonite to deal with the best center in the league. This is kind of how tonight went:
- The Knicks dominated the boards tonight. No Magic player grabbed more than 6 rebounds on the night. New York out rebounded Orlando 49-34, including 16-9 on the offensive glass. It was a truly dominant performance down low for the Knicks.
- Jerome Jordan scored a basket late in the game and a wide grin made its way onto my face.
- Toney Douglas was freed from the depths of the Knick bench. I was rooting for the shooting guard from Florida State to do something, anything well tonight and he really didn't. He missed his only shot and had a turnover. Oh well…
- The fat booty hunter had a sweet alley-oop tonight also. Here it is:

Trisha Schmidt smiles every morning when her alarm clock sounds, knowing that she is only moments away from drinking her favorite beverage: a cold glass of milk.
"There's nothing better than watching the sun rise and drinking a tall glass of whole milk," the Goessel resident said. "I like milk. It tickles your tastes buds and each sip brings a renewed sense of happiness. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have some in my fridge at all times. Life just wouldn't be the same."
Schmidt is one of the many Marion County residents who decide to purchase Hildebrand Dairy Milk products each week at local convenience and grocery stores. While it is more expensive that then major brands — $3 per half-gallon on average, with a $2.75 deposit — consumers say the taste is well worth the added cost.
"Milk loses all of its flavor if it is put in plastic," Schmidt said. "Part of the reason this milk is so tasty is because they put it in glass bottles. Everyone used to get their milk in glass and I don't know why they ever stopped. It's the only way to go if you want to have your milk taste the best. Unless, of course, you have your dairy cows."
Melissa Hildebrand said the only way the dairy makes a profit is because of the nostalgic niche that they have found in the glass bottles.
But, with milk price increasing, she wonders if people will still turn to Hildebrand to get their milk.
"Not everyone is willing to make the sacrifice to spend more money to get a better product," she said. "We have great customers. But when times get tough, people usually need to make hard decisions — and that could be finding a cheaper alternative."
But for Schmidt, and all the other Marion County residents who have grown accustomed to the fresh milk taste, it would be easier to limit their budget in other ways.
"I'd rather not have bread and cheese than go without my milk each morning," Schmidt said.
When it comes to pinching pennies, I always allot money for my milk first and foremost. It's been the mainstay in my diet for the past 50 years and it's going to stay that way. I say phooey on the bad economy. Give me my milk!"
The only inconvenience, consumers say, is returning the glass bottles clean enough.
"If you don't remember to wash it out right away, the milk gets kind of stuck on the bottom and it's hard to get it out," Schmidt said.
"You have to get something with a long handle and run some really hot water in order to get it all out of there. It's not an easy task."
But many other consumers, like Rita Fleming of Marion, say it is a better way to "dispose" of their milk cartons.
"I like to be green whenever I can," she said. "This is just another way we can save the earth. If we keep using glass, all of that plastic doesn't end up in a landfill."
Still, no matter the disagreement, the milk consumers know one thing: they are going to keep buying the milk that tastes the freshest.
"If Hildebrand keeps doing a good job, I will definitely keep coming back for more," Schmidt said. "You just can't beat the quality."
Hildebrand offers a variety of milk products, including whole milk, 2% milk, skim milk, chocolate milk, root beer milk, strawberry milk, and cream.
The Hildebrand dairy operation is located in Junction City, where they milk more than 150 Holsteins twice a day.

Excerpt: There
comes a time when civility is no longer appropriate
as the only option on the table. Dare we not offend the
sensibilities of Liberals, Socialists, and Communists in our
midst who are ruining and destroying our republic? Are we
to cower and sheepishly genuflect when we are scolded for
the tone or choice of our words in the face of ruin,
poverty, tyranny, and death?!
Excerpt: You are a
fool if you do not believe that elements of the Left would
use force, if they could, to compel you to comply with many
of their edicts. In drafting healthcare reform, they use
the threat of financial fines, felony conviction and
prison if you refuse to buy health insurance!
How is that not only a
degree or two removed from a pistol to the head? We are
undeniably heading toward the same tyrannies known to
Russians, Germans, and the Chinese. It starts with
Liberalism, advances to Socialism, and ends with Fascism,
Communism, or some other tyranny…and death.
We have a
culture of people whose first response to a physical threat
is to dial 911, or worse, a lawyer. We have a nation of
people who will dump hot coffee on themselves, then sue the
restaurant – and win! We have a nation of educators
who suspend children for drawing a picture of a handgun or
for bringing a Boy Scout knife-and-fork kit to show and
We have a nation of
people so removed from the food chain that many would starve
to death if the local supermarket closed. We have a nation
of people who cannot truly grasp the hardships faced by most
of the people in the world every day, and as a result we
have a nation of people who have lost fundamental common
Excerpt: The Bill
of Rights articulates the natural rights of man, rights that
are not bestowed by government, but rights that are innately
ours as human beings. These rights may not be taken from
us. These rights were written in plain language so that no
clever interpretation and manipulation of the intent was
possible. These rights may not be restricted, narrowed, or
infringed. Any attempt to do so is a violation of the
relationship between Man and Creator.
Every narrowing,
restriction, infringement, and clever interpretation imposed
upon us in the years since our Constitution was ratified is
simply a violation of our natural rights.
We hold that every
violation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights by those in
Government is an act of Treason, as these violations are
unjust, undermining the fundamental foundations of our
republic, breaking the pact between citizen and government,
and desecrating the relationship between Man and Creator.
Any man or woman who enforces these unconstitutional laws on
behalf of government is a treasonous soul and an enemy of
Liberty and humanity.

Current political leaders are only the face of the problem
confronting America today. The underlying cancer
eating the American Soul is Liberalism. But for your
Liberal neighbors, Liberal politicians would never be
elected to office.
It is not sufficient to simply defeat Liberal politicians at
the polls. Liberalism must be defeated in our society
and Liberals must be marginalized, or this disease will kill
the republic.
Every patriotic business owner should immediately fire every
Liberal on staff and hire an employee who respects the
nation and our Constitution. Why should any business
owner suffer an employee who will simply vote for
politicians who further ruin the company?!
The Liberals in your community must be ostracized and denied
entry into your social circle. These stupid people are
responsible for the insanity that affects everything from
your property taxes to the curriculum taught to your
children. Why would you break bread with them, when
they are the reason your bread costs too much? Why
would any parent permit them access to their children, when
they are responsible for ruining your child's future?

From the Editor
With great excitement I'd like to say, "Hello, Moose Lake!"
I'm new to the Star Gazette and Evergreen, though I'm no stranger to the town. I do, however, have to admit that I haven't spent as much time here as I would have liked to since graduating from Moose Lake High School in 2002. I've been busily playing with, chasing, cleaning up after (the list goes on) my two rambunctious children, 9-year-old Sam and 5-year-old Grace, along with working full-time. Though, I couldn't do any of it without the support of my amazing husband, Paul.
With the purchase of the Star Gazette and Evergreen by Franklin Newspapers, Inc. came the offer of the editor position here. Needless to say, I accepted, happy to return to the town I grew up in.
I've been in the newspaper business since 2003, having started at the Askov American as proofreader, gradually taking on more duties until I was offered the editor position there. I've learned a lot in those years and I plan on incorporating that knowledge into the Star Gazette and Evergreen. I'm confident these two publications will make Moose Lake proud.
I'm excited to be a part of the Star Gazette team. With the start of a new job, and the feeling of being the "newbie," I was feeling anxious about the move. Now that I'm here, I have no idea why I felt that way — Heidi, Chris, and Carol have made me feel right at home. The lovely ladies here even welcomed me with flowers, which they inconspicuously set on my desk directly alongside my computer during lunch. In an effort to remain focused and not completely throw a wrench in the operations of the office, I didn't notice the flowers for at least three hours. I felt a bit silly, but it was quite funny. We shared a good laugh.
I look forward to reporting the news of the area, working with the people of the community, and invite your input. I would also like to invite submissions for the paper, whether it be a photo from a local event or just a quick note to let me know something's happening. Feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

BLADENSBURG, Md. – As many as 80 residents in Prince George's County, whose homes were damaged in Friday night's storm, have been forced into shelter at Bladensburg High School.
"Some are there because of loss of power, and are just waiting for restoration of power. Others will be more long term," says Ronnie Gill, director of Emergency Management for Prince George's County.
Gill says the aftermath of Friday's storms, which slammed into Bladensburg and Cheverly Friday night, resembles a war zone.
"It looks like a bomb hit a three-block radius," he says.
The National Weather Service has confirmed that the storm was a microburst, a storm characterized by violent winds that can leave tremendous damage.
As a result of the storms, 21 apartment buildings and condos have been declared uninhabitable, forcing residents to look for shelter elsewhere. The damage includes roofs that were ripped off of buildings, partial wall collapses and vehicle damage from fallen debris.
Gill is asking people to make sure to report any damage to his office because the county may seek federal funds. He says it's not clear how long families may be displaced. Some may need long-term housing.
Shower facilities, food, and transportation are some of the services being offered to residents.
Many families in the shelter are waiting for their power to return. Pepco says it may not be until Monday when power is fully restored to customers. Others will remain there while damage to their homes is assessed, and repairs are done.
Gill says the shelter is prepared to stay open as long as it's needed.
"Today, CERT (community emergency response team) volunteers for the department were going door-to-door in the Bladensburg neighborhood handing out flyers notifying residents the shelter was available," Gill says.
The fire department says 15 multi-family homes, one single-family home, and Newton Street between 52nd and 55th streets in Bladensburg were severely damaged. The department responded to over 235 calls in a four hour period during, and after the storm. A normal call volume for 24 hours is 365.
The American Red Cross is aiding the county's Office of Emergency Management with providing services in the shelter.
To help those families, the finance office of the Prince George's County Department of Social Services will accept donations at:
805 Brightseat Road
Landover, MD 20785
People are asked to make checks or money orders payable to Prince George's County Department of Social Services and to note in the memo section "Bladensburg Microburst Lay Fund."
The shelter at Bladensburg High School will remain open Monday night. Any residents needing assistance can call the Emergency Operations Hotline at 301-583- 2230. Staffers at that number are also taking reports of storm damage.

For the past year or so, I've been working on compiling a volume of items published in the early newspapers of Rabun Co., GA, namely The Clayton Argus (1894), The Tallulah Falls Spray (1897 – 1898), and The Clayton Tribune (1899). I finished the main body of the volume several weeks ago and am now working on an index. I have applied for a publishing grant through the R. J. Taylor, Jr. Foundation and, if accepted, I hope to have this volume published within the next few months.
To incite interest in the project, I decided to publish small excerpts every Friday from now through November, or possibly longer.

For wives, live-in girlfriends or mothers, cleaning products or practical household items should be avoided at all costs, lest you want that new compost bin, as well as its putrid contents, thrown at your head in the midst of a heated row! When buying gifts for her, it's much safer to go for something heart-felt and indulgent that will make her smile.
Gym memberships and weight loss products are an absolute no-no. No matter what she asks you, she always looks great and NO, her thighs definitely do not look big in her new figure hugging skirt/jeans/bandage dress. Cute work-out clothes and sports accessories are only acceptable gifts for her if she's already the sporty type and won't be insulted by the suggestion that she could do with some exercise that doesn't involve an arm and a T.V. remote.
Gifts for her- presentation is everything.
While we know it's the thought that counts, but when buying gifts for her unless you are under 10 and can produce a home-made gift that will reduce her to a heap of sentimental goo, make her present look expensive. This can be achieved by actually buying something pricey or dressing it up with either lashings of good quality paper or a pretty box, covered in silk ribbons to make it look as extravagant as possible. Like the lady herself, she won't be able to resist beautiful things.
This pretty in pink gift set is the perfect gift for any expectant mum. It is complete with bath and shower gel, leg and foot treatment lotion and stretch mark oil.Price: £40.00 From COWSHED

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Thousands danced in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Hundreds chanted in South Africa, carrying signs and candles. The Philippines held a 24-hour dance party. Scores of students in India gathered for a candlelight vigil.
Organizers say these are among thousands of events taking place in 205 countries Thursday as part of One Billion Rising, an international call led by Eve Ensler's V-Day organization to end violence against women and girls.
Ensler, author of "The Vagina Monologues," announced the campaign last year, urging women and men around the world to walk out of work or school on Feb. 14, 2013, and dance to raise awareness of the troubling U.N. statistic that one in three women worldwide will be raped or beaten in her lifetime.
"It's happening, and what we're seeing is really huge uprisings," Ensler said Thursday in a telephone interview from Congo. "It's amazing because it goes from huge events like in Collins Square in London to six girls in a living room in Iran. That's what's so beautiful about it, like the whole world's doing it in the way they can do it."
International officials have also endorsed the event, including prime ministers of England and Australia, the president of Croatia, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who tweeted, "I rise with people of good conscience to stand up against intolerable acts of violence against women around the world. (hash)1billionrising."
"The UN has officially endorsed it, and I think unprecedentedly they, at 12:30 today, stopped their work and had a rising at the UN," Ensler said.
She added that the global event is "also impacting legislation and mindset and legislation," citing legislative efforts in Britain for universal sex education.
"The pressure of One Billion Rising is forcing these people to have to say they're going to do something about it," she said.
Scheduled stateside events included flash mobs in San Francisco, a Zumba dance party with Jane Fonda in Los Angeles, a special program at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom featuring Rosario Dawson and Glenn Close, and a rally led by Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter Bernice A. King on the sunny streets of Atlanta.
The outpouring of participation surpassed even Ensler's hopeful dreams. Widespread press coverage of the brutal gang rape in Delhi and the Taliban shooting of a 14-year-old Pakistani girl mobilized the world, she said.
"I think we all know that we've reached a moment where it has to stop," she said. "It's enough."
Ensler is convinced that the global reach of One Billion Rising has achieved its goal of raising awareness of the worldwide problem of violence against women and will inspire leaders to act.
"I don't think violence against women will get marginalized again," she said. "I think it has moved to the centre of the agenda as of today."

Photo Flash: First Look at GREAT EXPECTATIONS in the West End!
Ellis is perhaps most recognizable from his role as Harry Mason in Coronation Street. He has appeared in Where the Heart Is and Bad Girls, and in the West End in A Few Good Men with Rob Lowe and Suranne Jones. He performed in an international tour of Richard III with Kevin Spacey, directed by Sam Mendes.
Ellison is best known as hard-nut Frank Burnside in The Bill. Among Paula Wilcox's many well-known roles are Hilary Potts in Emmerdale, Lilian in The Smoking Room and Chrissy in classic '70s sitcom Man About the House.
Director and co-designer of Great Expectations is Graham McLaren, who established Theatre Babel and is an Associate Director for the National Theatre of Scotland.
Despite its many previous dramatized incarnations, this is the first time Great Expectations has been presented as a full-scale stage play in either the West End or on Broadway.
The play recounts the story of a poor lad called Pip Gargery and his entanglement with embittered and reclusive Miss Havisham en route to wealth and status, and is perhaps the best loved Dickens tale of all.
Dickens' masterwork has been adapted for the stage by Jo Clifford, one of Scotland's leading playwrights. She is the author of approximately 80 plays and her work has been translated into several languages and produced throughout the world.

Q.Can I freeze Manitoba Harvest products?
All of the Manitoba Harvest hemp products can be frozen except for Hemp Bliss Organic Hemp Beverage & Hemp Seed Oil Capsules. If freezing, they recommend storing in an air-tight container.
Q.Do Manitoba Harvest products contain any known allergens?
Hemp seeds are not known to contain allergens. Their hemp food dedicated facility DOES NOT process any dairy, soy, nut or gluten products.
Q.Why are some of the hemp food batches different shades of green?
At Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods & Oils they create their products fresh and to ensure this, they run small batches of the product. Depending on the seed in that batch the green shade may be slightly darker or lighter. Because their products are Non-GMO (not genetically modified) each seed in each hemp field will be slightly different.
Q.How do serving sizes work on Manitoba Harvest product nutritional panels?
The serving size of Manitoba Harvest products is determined by one of their contracted laboratories following the methodologies required by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (Canada) and the Food & Drug Administration (US).
These regulatory bodies require all information to be precisely measured, meaning that one tablespoon must be a level measuring tablespoon and then weighed on a laboratory scale. Due to the difference in density, it is possible that different products have different weights even though the volume (i.e. 3 tablespoons) may be the same.
Q.What does 'Best Before' mean on their packaging?
The 'best before' date on their packaging is related to food quality, not food safety. The best before date is meant to indicate when the product still has optimum taste and nutrition (provided it is stored per the instructions on the label). Once a product has been opened and exposed to oxygen, the product quality (taste and nutritive value) will decline over time.
Q.What is the difference between Natural and Certified Organic?
"Certified Organic" denotes products made from seed that has been grown on certified organic land, and produced according to strict uniform standards that are verified by a government-designated organization. In North America, to receive organic certification farmland has to have been free from chemicals for a minimum three years. For manufacturers, certification also includes inspections of processing facilities and detailed report keeping. Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods' organic products are certified by Pro-Cert and are marked with the USDA/Canadian Organic logo.
"Natural" denotes products that are grown using conventional farming techniques and have NOT been genetically modified. Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods products do NOT contain any additives, preservatives, fillers or artificial ingredients.
Q.What are the cooking uses of hemp oil or butter?
Hemp oil and hemp seed butter should not be used for frying, but can be used in baking if recipes are not heated above 350 degrees F. In general heat breaks down the essential fatty acids, reducing the nutritional benefits of Manitoba Harvest products.
Q.Why is Manitoba Harvest Hemp Seed Oil and Hemp Butter so green?
Manitoba Harvest Hemp Seed Oil and Hemp Butter contain high amounts of the green nutrient chlorophyll. This is the natural color of the seed and they do not add any other coloring or dyes to their products.
Q.How many capsules of the Hemp Oil Gel Caps does it take to equal 1 tablespoon of the oil?
It takes three servings of their hemp oil capsules to equal to one tablespoon of Hemp Oil.

Manitoba Harvest Supports Renewable Energy!
They have partnered with Renewable Choice to support the development of wind power projects and to take responsibility for their environmental impact. Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods & OIls has offset the conventional electricity use of their 20,000 sq foot state-of-the art kosher and organic ceritfied facility, by purchasing renewable energy credits (RECs).
RECs are produced by wind farms, biomass facilities and other renewable energy projects. They provide companies and consumers a way to invest in renewable energy development and offset their electricity use with wind-powered and other renewable energy projects without having an on-site installation. By purchasing RECs, they are guaranteed that the electricity they use is replaced on the national power grid with electricity generated from renewable energy sources.
Their Commitment to Reduce Their Environmental Impact
By taking steps to conserve the electricity they use and reduce their environmental impact by purchasing RECS, their commitment has an impact similar to:
- Planting 1,009 mature trees
- Not driving 272,449 miles in an average car
Other Environmentally Conscious Actions in the Office
Manitoba Harvest's packaging is made from recyclable and/or reusable materials. Marketing materials and business correspondence is printed on recycled paper. In their office, they recycle, reuse, and reduce as a daily practice. Office paper, cardboard, cans, bottles, plastics and other materials are salvaged or recycled. They use real dishes and wash them instead of using paper or plastic. Cleaning products are natural, bio-degradable and are approved for use within certified organic facilities.
They support sustainable agriculture by endorsing environmentally-friendly, non-intrusive farming practices. Manitoba Harvest partners directly with farmers, fostering education on organic hemp production and encouraging more hemp to be grown. These farmers are savvy business people and "guardians" of some of the best hemp farming land around. Many of them are also company shareholders so they have a say in their operations and ultimately they are accountable to them.
Educating the public on hemp and healthy lifestyle choices is part of their mission. Their staff donates their personal time to share their knowledge with the community and participates in numerous local charities. Their President and Co-Founder is also President of the Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance, sharing his experiences and helping to advance the hemp industry as a whole.
At Manitoba Harvest fiscal responsibility is a part of their definition of sustainability. Financial statements are presented to Shareholders Annually, and finances are routinely audited by third-party firms. Being economically viable is crucial for helping to build the industry and to continue providing the highest quality hemp foods to their customers.
Organic Certification
Manitoba Harvest's facility and operations are Certified Organic by OCPP/Pro-Cert Canada Inc. OCPP/Pro-Cert is an accredited organic certifier for Canada, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the European Union. They guarantee that all raw materials and products that they label as "organic" are Certified Organic.
Certified Kosher
Manitoba Harvest products are certified as Kosher and Pareve by the Orthodox Union. They are eligible to bear the Kosher seal of approval OU.
In Hebrew, "Kosher" means fit or proper as it refers to the set of dietary laws that govern both the selection and preparation of food. It means that a given product is permitted or acceptable for consumption within the Code of Jewish Law. Given the complex nature of the laws of Judaism, one should consult an Orthodox Rabbi when a personal question of Kosher may arise.
HACCP Certified
At Manitoba Harvest, their food safety and quality are their primary concerns and that's why their state of the art facility is Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) certified. HACCP is an internationally recognized safety system created to prevent, reduce and eliminate potential hazards. The system covers three potential food safety areas: biological hazards (micro-organisms), chemical hazards (substances/molecules), and physical hazards (items not normally found in food). Currently, Manitoba Harvest is the only hemp food manufacturer to be HACCP certified and is proud to offer this additional quality assurance to partners and consumers.
About Manitoba Harvest
Founded in 1998, Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods actually started much earlier. Company co-founders aligned with farmers and academics in the early 1990's to create the Manitoba Hemp Alliance. In 1995, the Alliance successfully secured government permission and funding to plant hemp trials. The experimental trials helped alleviate misconceptions regarding industrial hemp, gained government support, and caught the interest of the trade. By the time the government act forbidding hemp crops was up for renewal in 1998, there was plenty of evidence to support why industrial hemp should be legalized in Canada. Manitoba Harvest was born immediately after industrial hemp was legalized.
The company started small. The focus clear - manufacture the highest quality hemp food products while educating people on the nutritional benefits of hemp foods. Fresh hemp oil and shelled hemp seeds were sold at local retailers and farmer's markets. Through grassroots marketing, Manitoba Harvest grew and in 2001 was preparing its first shipment to the United States. At the same time the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) began a campaign to make sales of hemp foods illegal in the United States. The Hemp Industries Association (HIA), along with hemp food companies - including Manitoba Harvest, took the DEA to court. Three years later HIA and its allies won.
The three year ban and court battle was a major hurdle that slowed, but did not deter Manitoba Harvest's growth. To support hemp foods launch in the United States, Manitoba Harvest's CEO hit the road conducting small in-store demos, exhibiting at consumer events and educating anyone who would listen. Today, Manitoba Harvest is the largest vertically integrated hemp food manufacturer in the world.
Manitoba Harvest controls every aspect of the production process. From sourcing crops, to food processing to packaging and distribution, Manitoba Harvest holds itself to the highest operational standards. Manitoba Harvest partners direct with hemp farmers to source the raw, non-genetically modified hemp seed. The pre-screened farmers deliver direct to Manitoba Harvest's facility, creating a closed-loop sourcing system. Products are made fresh in-house at Manitoba Harvest's state-of-the-art kosher and organic certified* facility. Manitoba Harvest also goes through voluntary audits and certifications to ensure they lead the market in quality assurance.
Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Manitoba Harvest's market reach extends across North America, Europe and Asia. Manitoba Harvest strives to manufacture the highest quality hemp food products, to educate on the nutritional & environmental benefits of hemp, and to support sustainability in all that they do.
