As we begin the Christmas season this year, one of our annual traditions is cutting down our real Christmas tree. This year since we were at Grandma's house over the Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to go to a tree farm near her house. It was a very cold and windy day, but both girls were troopers and had a lot of fun. After the tree cutting, we enjoyed some hot chocolate, cookies and candy canes.

The Christmas Season
Memories posted by Kelly at 7:04 PM 1 comment:
Thanksgiving was celebrated at Grandma and Grandpa Mills' house. We spend 4 days with them over the holiday. We get to eat, eat and eat some more. I get to shop on Friday and we get to hang out and relax all weekend. Now that Breslyn is eating baby food, she got to enjoy Thanksgiving food too with some sweet potatoes. She loves eating and so far loves everything we have tries with her. Fun times!!!

Breslyn was baptized on November 21st. Aunt Colleen stood up as her sponsor and godmother. Breslyn did very well during the whole ceremony which I must say was very odd. We have a new priest at our church, but not new in terms of straight out of the seminary. For being a seasoned priest, he acted like it was his first time ever doing a baptism. Everything was read straight from the book which seemed very impersonal. He tried hard to crack some jokes, but they just weren't funny and the microphone he was using just didn't sound great. But....aside from that our girl looked beautiful. Thanks to all who attended. We celebrated afterward with a dinner at Buddy's pizza and it was delicious.

Michael Clayton (2007, Tony Gilroy) [8]
Over the last few years, more filmmakers have been gravitating toward minor-key films in a style closer to that of 70s-era filmmakers, before the studios decided movies needed to be for everyone. Michael Clayton, much like We Own the Night last night, is a superlative example of this kind of movie, moving at a leisurely pace yet containing almost no wasted brush strokes. It's key that almost every important character, save Michael's young son, is over 40- Michael Clayton isn't a film about youngsters on the make, but about grown adults who have sacrificed a lot to live the lives they lead, and who stand to lose even more. But while the film has the trappings of a legal thriller, it's at its heart a character study, a blinkered story about a blinkered man. Michael doesn't have much of a life- he's always traveling between assignments for his job as a law firm's "fixer," and in between he picks up his kid, occasionally plays in a backroom poker tournament, and worries about the debt he's incurred on his failed restaurant. He almost never smiles, and I don't think we ever see him at home. He's always being sent somewhere or other on business. Clooney is perfect for the role, a well-dressed professional with no small amount of skill but who feels no love for what he does. And the rest of the cast is just as good- Tom Wilkinson somehow pulls off crazy without resorting to histrionics, and Tilda Swinton plays her cool-customer corporate counsel while suggesting the great sacrifices that she's had to make along the way in tiny but indelible touches (the no-nonsense suits, the on-the-fly makeup job, etc.). Like a con artist has to be more convincing than the people he's trying to imitate, so she has to be even more on her game than the men surrounding her in the boardroom boys' club. Michael Clayton is that rarest of things, an entertainment designed specifically for adults, and it's even more impressive for being Gilroy's first film behind the camera. Many screenwriters-turned-directors can't strike the right mix between screenplay and direction, but Gilroy is a natural.

|After threatening to do it for over 25 years, we are at last offering a one-and-a-half hour workshop on the songs and life of the Watchet shantyman John Short. There are also two singing-related workshops. Each was originally developed in response to specific requests from local singers and would-be singers who came to Shammick Acoustic Sessions and the associated workshops. The full workshop takes a day (2 two-hour sessions) but can be adapted for half-day workshops. A different workshop has also been developed which examines Mumming in several aspects. Enquiries as normal - ring, write or e-mail!
The Short,Sharp Shanties
John Short – also known as Yankee Jack - was born in Watchet, Somerset, in 1839. He went to sea in the local coastal trade with his father at the age of 14, but in 1857 he went deep sea. He sailed all over world, from Australia to Valpariso, from Canada to Bombay. He sailed in East Indiamen, in Schooners, and in early steam-assisted boats. He was sailing North American ships during the American Civil War. He learnt the trade of a shantyman at the time when shantying was developing into the form we understand it today. He eventually retired to Watchet to care for his ailing wife and, in 1914 he was visited by Cecil Sharp, the great English folk-song collector. Sharp collected over 50 shanties from John Short – and they formed the basis of Sharp's publication of shanties. Later, R. R. Terry was to do the same with Short's shanties. From American cotton screwing chants to classic English folk songs, anything that would make a sailor heave with a will was fair game for the shantyman. Sentiment, bawdry, storytelling and contemporary life are all reflected in the vast range of shanties that Short, the man with the Stentorian voice, left to posterity.
This illustrated workshop traces Short's life, his shanties (including some that Sharp did not publish!), and the history through which he lived. It gives a fascinating insight into shantying and the life of a true shantyman.
Making the song your own
The workshop day is for people who sing a bit and want to explore ways of making their songs their own, looking at aspects other than the ubiquitous 'voice workshops'. The workshop includes: Song styles; Approaches to songs; Effects of rhythm; Telling the story; Speech patterns; Melody and modality; Knowing what you want; Working with what you've got; Listening to other singers; Suiting yourself to the song; Suiting the song to you.
Well, that's the theory, anyway!
Tom and Barbara debunk the mystery surrounding manuscript, musical terms, scales, modes and harmony. Never forgetting that there was music and singing before there was a theory for either, their approach is to enable you to use basic theory - not suffer its mastery. The workshop includes: The musical stave and what it tells you - timing, pitch and rhythm - and what it doesn't; Keys and modes and scales - and how they are related - bagpipe & mountain scales; Basic harmony - pedal point and organum - intervals and counterpoint - finding a harmony. This is seriously music theory for the utterly terrified!
Mumming ~ what it is and what it isn't!
A wide-ranging workshop which examines both theory and practice. The workshop draws on Tom's MA thesis on the history of mumming and comparison with legitimate theatre, and also extensively uses film of traditional mumming groups ~ loaned by Doc Rowe. Interspersed with practical sessions using a variety of texts, the workshop offers the chance to explore the techniques of traditional drama and vernacular theatre.

5 Quick and Healthy "Breakfast for Dinner" Ideas You Must Try
Savory Oatmeal
When you eat oatmeal for breakfast, most likely you add in honey, berries, and other sweet ingredients. However, oatmeal is great with savory toppings as well. Here we stir in hummus, olives, and sundried tomatoes and top it off with a runny fried egg and sprinkle of oregano for the perfect finish.
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 2/3 cup lower-sodium vegetable broth (or water)
- 1 ½ tablespoons hummus
- 1 tablespoon chopped black olives
- 1 tablespoon chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Heat vegetable broth (or water) in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and then add the oats, turning the heat down to a simmer. Stir occasionally and cook until the oats are done and have absorbed all the broth or water. Remove from heat and stir in hummus, black olives, and sun-dried tomatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm. Spray a small skillet with cooking spray and fry the egg over medium high heat until done but yolk is still slightly runny. Place on top of oatmeal. Sprinkle with oregano and enjoy. Serves 1.

Chicken and Waffles Buffalo Sandwich
Chicken and Waffles is a popular Southern dish that can be enjoyed any time of day, but especially at breakfast. We've made it perfect for dinner by turning it into a buffalo chicken sandwich. The slightly sweet flavor of the waffles pairs perfectly with the spicy hot sauce and savory chicken.
- 2 small whole-grain waffles (such as Vans) prepared according to package directions
- 4oz. shredded rotisserie chicken (skin and bones removed)
- 2 tablespoons light ranch or blue cheese salad dressing
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot), use more or less depending on your taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon blue cheese crumbles
- 2 large lettuce leaves
- 1 slice tomato
Place rotisserie chicken in a medium bowl with the blue cheese crumbles, celery, hot sauce, and salad dressing. Stir to combine. Top one of the prepared waffles with the chicken mixture, then the lettuce, then the tomato. Top with the other prepared waffle and enjoy. Serves 1.
The Skinny: 450 calories, 18 g fat (4 g saturated fat), 40 g carb, 4 g fiber, 35 g protein
Steak Stir-fry with Egg-Fried Rice
Steak and eggs is a favorite among savory breakfast fans. Here we take it to the dinner table by giving the dish some Asian-style umami flare.
Egg-Fried Rice
- 1 cup brown rice, cooked
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 1/2 cup frozen Asian-medley veggies, thawed
- 1 tablespoon lower-sodium soy sauce
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon chopped scallions
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and veggies to the skillet and cook until tender, stirring often. Using a spatula, push the shallot veggie mixture over to one side of the skillet. Pour the egg into the other side of the skillet and scramble. Once the egg is cooked, mix the veggies and shallot into the egg. Add the brown rice and soy sauce to the skillet and cook, stirring to combine it with the veggie-egg mixture, until all is tender and heated throughout. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped scallions. Enjoy with the Steak Stir-Fry. Serves 2.
Steak Stir-Fry
- 6-ounces beef tenderloin
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/2 cup sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup sugar snap peas
- 1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chopped dry-roasted peanuts, optional
Combine teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and orange juice in a large bowl and whisk to mix well. Add steak and make sure it is covered in the marinade. Marinate, covered, in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. Slice the steak into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Coat a wok or large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high and add the steak plus two tablespoons of the marinade and cook, stirring frequently until the steak has cooked to your desired doneness, about 2-3 minutes. Add the veggies and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender, about 1-3 minutes. Remove from heat and serve on a bed of the Egg-Fried Rice. Top with the fresh cilantro and peanuts, if desired. Season to taste with soy sauce and enjoy. Serves 2.
The Skinny (1 serving = 1/2 of the Egg-Fried Rice and 1/2 of the Steak Stir-Fry mixture with peanuts): 440 calories, 19g fat (3.5g saturated fat), 44g carb, 6g fiber, 27g protein
Pizza Pancakes
If you love pancakes for breakfast and pizza for dinner, try this super-quick version. It's like all your favorite pizza toppings stuffed into a quick-cooking crust. Serve with marinara sauce drizzled over the top to round out the pizza-perfect flavor.
- 2 cups of your favorite whole-grain pancake mix
- 3 teaspoons Italian herb blend, divided
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup lowfat milk
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

- Salt and pepper, to taste
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add all the veggies and cook 2-3 minutes, or just until crisp-tender. Season with 1 teaspoon of the Italian herb blend and to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. In a separate large bowl, stir together the mix and the remaining 2 teaspoons of the Italian herb blend. Then add the egg and milk mixture to the dry mix and stir just until moistened. Gently fold in the cheeses, sautéed veggies, and pepperoni.
Spray a griddle with cooking spray. Heat griddle over medium heat and then add 1/4 cup portions of the batter as space allows.

Deconstructed Bagel and Lox Rolls
A bagel with cream cheese and lox may be the perfect brunch dish, but we've transformed it into sushi-style rolls that are perfect for a light, healthy dinner.
- 6 slices smoked salmon
- 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
- 2 ounces nonfat, plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6 bagel chips
- 1 cup salad greens
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion, optional
- 2 tablespoons capers, optional
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, dill chives, yogurt, and lemon juice until smooth. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Arrange the smoked salmon on plastic wrap. Spread filling across the salmon and roll to form a roulade (will look like a spiral of the salmon and cream cheese mixture when sliced). Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Unwrap and slice into 1/2 –inch thick pieces. Serve over the salad greens with the bagel chips and garnish with the red onion and capers, if desired. Enjoy! Serves 2.

Not to be left out of drone mania, Uber, the popular taxi replacement service, used drones in their latest marketing gimmick. This time, drones delivered ice cream in Shenzhen.
Uber, the ever-expanding app-driven taxi alternative, has a keen eye for clever publicity. In Washington, DC, where the author resides, Uber has held multiple promotions involving the delivery of cats and dogs for brief mid-day playdates. In New York, an Uber pedicab carted around the titular throne from Game of Thrones. In Shenzen, China, Uber combined their marketing savvy with the surefire draw of gimmick drones and ice cream.
About Uber
Uber is evolving the way the world moves. By seamlessly connecting riders to drivers through our apps, we make cities more accessible, opening up more possibilities for riders and more business for drivers. From our founding in 2009 to our launches in hundreds of cities today, Uber's rapidly expanding global presence continues to bring people and their cities closer.
About Shenzen, China
Shenzhen is a major city in the south of Southern China's Guangdong Province, situated immediately north of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The area became China's first—and the most successful—Special Economic Zone (SEZs). It currently also holds sub-provincial administrative status, with powers slightly less than a province. According to a report published by Shenzhen Daily in 2012, Shenzhen has a population of approximately 15 million. It is one of the most built-up areas in the world.
Shenzhen's modern cityscape is the result of its vibrant economy made possible by rapid foreign investment since the institution of the policy of "reform and opening" establishment of the SEZ in late 1979, before which it was only a small village. Both Chinese citizens and foreign nationals have invested enormous amounts of money in the Shenzhen SEZ. More than US$30 billion in foreign investment has gone into both foreign-owned and joint ventures, at first mainly in manufacturing but more recently in the service industries as well. Shenzhen was during the 1990s and 2000s considered one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, however its population growth as of 2013 has been less than one percent per year as manufacturing assembly line boom ebbs in favor of other industries, especially technology; Shenzhen is now dubbed China's Silicon Valley.

Showing 221 - 230 of 2835 Literature annotations
Primary Category: Literature / Nonfiction
Genre: Memoir
Summary:Blow's account of growing up in rural Louisiana, exposed to negligence, sexual molestation, violence, and loss focuses on a child's strategies of survival first, and then on sexual confusion, social ambition, and discovery of the gifts that led him to his life as a writer for the New York Times. A major theme in the memoir is his learning to claim his bisexuality after years of secrecy and shame. That emergent fact about his identity, along with moving to New York after a life in the rural South required an unusual level of self-reflection and hard, costly choices that challenged norms at every level. His account of learning to assume a leadership role in a college fraternity and deciding to finally leave it behind offers a particularly vivid example of what it takes to resist perpetuating rites of humiliation and conformity designed to curb individuation.
Primary Category: Literature / Plays
Genre: Play
Summary:New York, 1981. As the play opens, Ned Weeks sits outside a doctor's office with a friend who has developed worrisome symptoms of a mysterious "plague" that strikes homosexuals. The doctor, Emma Brookner, complains that she cannot make headway in getting the gay community to take the threat seriously. This encounter inspires Ned, a writer, to dedicate himself to becoming the spokesman for the growing ranks of disenfranchised patients. He attempts to convert others to his cause, including his heterosexual brother, a closeted bank executive, and a reporter for the New York Times (whom he begins to date). When it becomes clear that the City is not interested in assisting, he co-founds a grassroots activist organization. As the epidemic veers out of control, the man he loves falls ill as well. Over time, Ned's abrasive, confrontational approach, as well as his focus on abstinence, makes him many enemies within the gay community. Ultimately, he is forced out of his own organization. At the same time, there are hints that, as a result of his work, the disease is beginning to be taken seriously. At the end of the play, Ned's lover Felix becomes the latest gay man to succumb to the epidemic.
Summary:Not God is a "play in verse" with two characters, a hospitalized patient and the patient's doctor. The scare quotes indicate the fluid quality of Not God, which the author originally conceived as a sequence of poems spoken in a patient's voice. Subsequently, he added the doctor poems (monologues) to create a "dialog" between the two voices. Once again, scare quotes suggest the atypical quality of this dialogue, since the two characters express different feelings and perspectives on the situation, but do not directly address one another. The play version has received several performances at colleges and small theaters.The patient speaks first in a monologue that begins "A man's cough bounces down the hallway / like pick up sticks... " and ends with "I am here two weeks." (p. 7) It soon becomes evident that he/she has cancer and is receiving chemotherapy. The doctor has changed this person's life by speaking "one word," after which "nothing / would ever be the same again." (p. 10). The patient is knowledgeable, accepting of his/her condition, a keen observer with a good sense of humor, as in "Doldrums" (p. 19) and "Cricket" (p. 23), and a person who affirms life in spite of adversity. The doctor is burdened with the power of medical knowledge. In particular, he understands the deadly meaning of signs and symptoms: "We say / excess water and swelling of the belly, knowing / full well... / an ovarian cancer is almost certain." (p. 33) But the meaning this represents is chaos: there is nothing humane or transcendent about cancer. Unlike his baseball card collection in childhood ("Shoebox," p. 35), cancer is neither confined nor orderly. In the second act, the patient sympathizes with the doctor whose "head is so cluttered / with obligatory data." Paradoxically, the doctor must be protected because he is "filled with dying." (p. 41) The doctor becomes angry with the burden, "Why / ask me a question that only God can answer?" (p. 49) and cries out that his work is "alchemy, / potions and witches' brews." (p. 54) In the end, while dying, the patient imagines "a bridge that can cross / the Atlantic." (p. 68), while the doctor speaks a prayer, "The word cure, dear God, is always / near my lips, though I have been constrained from / saying it aloud." (p. 66)
Summary:In this collection (80 pages), Marc Straus speaks of the inadequacy of communication and knowledge in medicine; the pauses, the distance, the hesitations. You think you know what you are doing, "But no, they always ask the question / I never knew." ("The Log of Pi") "The question / might be so simple, so clear / that you're unprepared to answer." ("Questions and Answers") Though words are in one way inadequate, the medical word carries great power: " . . . I knew that moment / I would say one word for her and nothing / would ever be the same again." (One Word, annotated in this database.)The poet comes to understand that he represents both sides of medicine, both the detached and distant Dr. Gold, and the warm and trustworthy Dr. Green. (See annotation of Dr. Gold & Dr. Green) Unfortunately, this knowledge only comes about after the patient has died ("Dr. Gold & Dr. Green, II"). We learn from experience, sometimes too late.
Summary:The speaker reflects that "life is sometimes reduced / to a single word . . . . " He remembers one incident at a bus stop, another interviewing a man "for a job in my lab." Then there was the time a woman "walked / into my office for one thing . . . . " He discovered a "fullness" in her neck and knew that the word he would say to her, the one word, would change her life: "nothing / would ever be the same again."
Summary:This fine collection of work by Audrey Shafer is subtitled "Poems by a Doctor/Mother." The book begins with a section containing poems of personal history and experience ("that I call home"), descends into the nether world of anesthesia ("not quite sleep"), and in the final section returns to the light with a new perspective on the texture and occurrences of ordinary life ("okay for re-entry").Among the more medically oriented poems, see especially "Spring," "Anesthesia," "Three Mothers," Monday Morning (see annotation in this database), "Gurney Tears," "Center Stage," and "Reading Leaves." "Don't Start, Friend" takes up the topic of substance abuse among anesthesiologists (or physicians, in general).
Summary:The poet, an anesthesiologlist and mother, describes her early morning departure from home as she prepares to begin her professional day, leaving behind her little son and the physical and emotional warmth of their relationship. After arriving at work, she readies the operating suite for her first patient, taking pleasure in "the rote motions," noting that "all is bright pristine ordered."Having made the transition from home to work she tries to remember her son's "just-awakened warmth." The poem ends with the arrival of her patient, who is naked and ready to be put to sleep (anesthetized), inverting the opening image of her sleepy, naked child and their leave-taking.
Primary Category: Literature / Nonfiction
Genre: Treatise
Summary:The author, an experienced surgeon, believes that we will be less frightened by the prospect of death if we understand it as a normal biologic process. He points out that 80 percent of deaths in this country now occur in hospitals and are therefore "sanitized," hidden from view, and from public comprehension. He describes the death process for six major killers: heart disease, stroke, AIDS, cancer, accidents/suicide, and Alzheimer's disease.But the power of the book is in its intensely personal depiction of these events and in the lessons which Nuland draws from his experiences. The message is twofold: very few will "die with dignity" so that (1) it behooves us to lead a productive LIFE of dignity, (2) physicians, patients, and families should behave appropriately to allow nature to take its course instead of treating death as the enemy to be staved off at any cost. Only then will it be possible for us to die in the "best" possible way--in relative comfort, in the company of those we love/who love us.
Primary Category: Literature / Nonfiction
Genre: Memoir
Summary:The author, Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, is an authority on manic depressive illness. With this powerful, well-written memoir she "came out of the closet," publicly declaring that she herself had suffered from manic depressive illness for years. Jamison describes the manifestations of her illness, her initial denial and resistance to treatment with medication, attempted suicide, and her struggle to maintain an active professional and satisfying personal life.The author was "intensely emotional as a child," (p.4) and in high school first experienced "a light lovely tincture of true mania" (p.37) during which she felt marvelous, but following which she was unable to concentrate or comprehend, felt exhausted, preoccupied with death, and frightened. (pp. 36-40) Interested in medicine as an adolescent, she pursued her goal in spite of mood swings and periods of mental paralysis. Jamison completed graduate work in clinical psychology; shortly after obtaining a faculty appointment "I was manic beyond recognition and just beginning a long, costly personal war against a medication that I would, in a few year's time, be strongly encouraging others to take [lithium]." (p. 4)Jamison eventually, through strong support from friends and colleagues, excellent psychiatric care, and her own acceptance of illness, has been able to reach a state of relative equilibrium--tolerable levels of medication (fewer side effects) and dampened mood swings. But she makes clear that she must stay on lithium and remain vigilant.
Summary:Children wasting away, in pain, infected with parasites whose life cycle continues "bodies to fingers, / fingers to lips, of lips to eggs / and eggs to worms." That cycle is echoed in the human experiences of "loneliness to pangs of loss" and of "deep escape to deep connection." The actual parasites take on symbolic significance and become the worm that inhabits us all, whether we be sick kids or weary health care providers.

TROY — William Crockett, 30, of Piqua, remains in critical condition at Miami Valley Hospital as a result of a single-vehicle crash in the 3000 block of West State Route 41, west of Washington Road on Friday. Crockett was the lone occupant in the vehicle.
Miami County Sheriff's Office deputies said Crockett was westbound around 10:30 p.m. at an apparent high rate of speed when he lost control of his car, left the roadway and took out approximately 100 feet of wood fence. He then struck, and broke off, a utility pole before coming to rest in a ditch.
Miami County Sheriff's Office Lt. Mike Whaley confirmed that as the victim's car was crashing through the fence, he was impaled by a fence board.
Troy Fire Department medics, along with assistance from passers-by, began treating the victim as firefighters used the "jaws of life" to cut apart the car in order to extricate the victim.
It took emergency personnel approximately 20 minutes to free the victim.
CareFlight was called to fly the victim to Miami Valley Hospital for treatment.
The crash is still under investigation by the Miami County Sheriff's Office, Lt. Whaley said.

Spring high school sports preview: Middletown High School
MIDDLETOWN >> This is one of three city high school springs sports previews. This is Middletown High, Xavier High and Mercy and Vinal Tech High Schools will follow in the upcoming days.
Boys track and field
There are high hopes for this year's edition.
"Our goals are to defend our CCC South White division title, win the CCC South meet and challenge for the top spot in Class L," said 11-year coach Jenn Prince. "We have some very talented veteran athletes who will lead us very deep into the postseason."
The team returns 10 All-Conference and five All-State athletes. Among these are junior DeAaron Lawrence who tied the school record in the high jump (6-6) last season and qualified for the New Englands and New Balance Emerging Elite Nationals, senior Laurenzo Thompkins who holds the school record in the 110 and 300 hurdles, was All-Conference in three events, All-State in the 4x400 relay, All-New England and also qualified for the Emerging Elite Nationals.
Also, senior Justin McMillian, junior DeShaun Bradshaw, junior Nico Cavaliere, and junior Garrett Dandridge all qualified for the New Balance Championship Nationals in a variety of sprint events.
Junior Dylan Drescher (shot, discus, javelin), senior Jalen Coleman (800, 1600), junior Ben Carlson (1600, 3200), senior Zak D'Amico (pole vault), senior Drue Marino (800, 1600), sophomore Matt Lecky (1600, 3200), and sophomore DaJuan Lomotey (100, 200, high jump) are all expected to make significant contributions.
Others looking to make contributions are Danny Flynn (pole vault), Tyler Wenzel (pole vault), Jaymin Torres (sprints, jumps), Tim Johnson (distance) and Dylan Karpel (distance).
Also Tyshaun James, a senior out for track for the first time, is a sprinter and Osbourne Richards looks to factor in the throws.
Girls track
The team is coming off a 6-0 regular season and tied Berlin for the CCC-South title in the conference meet. It might to tough to duplicate that this time around.
Acting coach Deb Pitruzzello said her key returnees are seniors Jen Barbour (relays, long jump), Brielle Wilborn (shot, javelin), Veronica Meyer (shot, discus, javelin, hammer), and juniors Leeashia Daniels (relays), Aliyah Hayes (discus, shot), Nasharie Davis (400, relays, high jump), Mackenzie Dunn (long jump, 400), Maddy Vianney (long jump), Amelia Sessoms (relays, sprints) and Lexi Gonzalez (distance).
Pitruzzello also said the team has a large group of freshmen and has more distance runners than in recent seasons.
"This can be a good team if not stretched too thin," said Pitruzzello. "We will need contributions from some newcomers and the older girls need to demonstrate leadership skills and perform to their capabilities to defend their title."
The only way for this team to go is up as last year the Blue Dragons were 0-20.
After having three coaches in three season, Josh Cofield will bring stability in his second year and while improvement is expected, no question Cofield is trying to build the program.
"The sophomore class is very strong and talented," said Cofield. "There is the potential for up to six sophomores to earn a letter this year."
MHS returns only two starters from last season in junior catcher Jacob Radziewicz and senior pitcher/outfielder A.J. Mallett.
"I think we have a chance to be a contender in our league [CCC South]," said Cofield. "Although it is a tough league, I think our kids can compete with most if not all of the teams we will face."
Ultimate Frisbee
This team has yet to have a down year and this year's team looks to carry on that winning tradition.
"I am cautiously optimistic," said 13-year coach Trevor Charles. "I am excited about the returning players who have done a lot of work in the off-season to stay in shape and generate more chemistry through indoor leagues. I hope we can be one of the contenders for the state title, but we need to hit the ground running."
Middletown, which was 19-10 last season, returns five key players: seniors Kevin Richards, Shane Rascati, Jenna Lentini and All-State juniors Jayden Coughlin and Bilal Chapman.
Boys lacrosse
Last year's club team was 9-1 and 4-year coach Justin Deegan hopes to continue building his team to full CIAC status.
"We are returning 10 seniors plus 13 freshmen," said Deegan. "So overall we should have 35 players. Our numbers are growing every year so we should have three good lines.
"We have 15 games and hope to be one of the top teams in the area."
Key returning players are seniors Trevor Getek (attack), Kevin Michaud (defenseman) and junior goaltender Luke Reynolds.
The team graduated just two players last year, including captain Connor Dale, now at Tufts.
Sal Morello is known mostly as a football coach. This spring he makes his debut as softball coach.
Morello inherits a solid program, one that was 16-7 last year and advanced to the quarterfinal round of the Class LL tournament where it lost to Cheshire.
"We have seven starters back, so we should be a contender," said Morello. "We also have a real solid core of freshmen — eight of them."
Morello said his key players are seniors Kayle Pieta (second base), sophomore Dominique Highsmith (shortstop), senior Kelsey White (third base), senior Alex Giardina (center field), senior Briana DiMartino (right field), senior Rachel Thompson (catcher) and senior Samantha Pizzonia (pitcher).
Boys tennis
This is a team — along with the girls team — that has no home.
With all the athletic facilities that were constructed at the new high school, tennis courts were not one of them. With the Wesleyan courts under construction, the team has to scramble to find places to practice and will play all its matches on the road.
"It will not be easy for the kids and their families," said 6-year coach Rick Privott. "But we should have a solid singles lineup with Pasquale [Giardina, foreign exchange student from Italy] joining us.
"I know the kids will play hard and we should be able to win some matches along the way."
Privott pointed to Payton White, Harish Patel, Dylan Myers and Joel Morales as key returning players. The promising newcomers include Giardina, Mason Moua and Sofian Albayati.
Last year's team was 6-9.
Girls tennis
This team, too, is homeless.
"I am disappointed that the city has not provided equitable opportunities for our tennis teams and secured courts for us as promised," said 9-year coach Tish Ehnot. "We will continue to rebuild with strong senior leadership and have six returning players to fill key spots in the lineup.
"We have an experienced and athletic group of juniors who are on track to develop into more advanced, competitive players. We also have 10 underclassmen trying out."
Ehnot pointed to key singles players senior Gabby Lanza and juniors Maddy Fitzner, Whitney Andrew and Olivia Lapham. Key doubles players include seniors Kim Chambers, Lisa Tipton and Alena Monarca, plus juniors Mariah Monroe, Jess Hart and Caitlin Kozlowski.
The team was 4-10 in 2016.
Girls golf
After a tough 1-13 season in 2016, things are looking up.
"We return the entire team from last year," said second-year coach Roberta Downer. "Our juniors are stronger and more confident, we are excited by experienced freshman Logan Frame and sophomore Lily Doan continues to show strong potential."
Downer identified key returnees as senior captain Taylor Winzer and juniors Kelsey Culup, Sophia Ventrelli, Isabella Lombardo, Mikayla Camarda and Rachel Gadreau.
The key newcomers are freshman Frame and Jussica Rustek.
Boys golf
Matthew Harris is the fist-year coach.
"We return Derek Frame who was All-Conference and made a sate appearance last year," he said. "I'm excited for this season. I have a great group of young men eager to play their best golf."
The Blue Dragons placed 14th in the Central Connecticut Conference last year and Frame qualified for the Division II state tournament.
Harris said he lost no players to graduation and returns the entire team.
Girls and boys crew
Coach Wendy Sheil, in her sixth year as head coach and 15th overall, said that both the boys and girls teams are young.
"Our boys jayvees were strong last year and that should bolster the varsity," she said. "We also have an extremely dedicated group of sophomore and junior boys and girls. We lost 16 to graduation."
Sheil said her key returning boys are junior Ben Clark and seniors Ricky Moore and Sean Fuller, who she described as "excellent leaders."
Her key returning girls are seniors Jordan Legendre, Katie Marx and Jackie Pawlak. "They bring maturity, experience and focus to a young squad," said Sheil.
"We are concerned about how the season is starting," said Sheil. "The weather has been atrocious and we already have missed the first week of water time. But the kids have worked extremely hard in their land workouts. The season will not be easy, but the potential for strong and successful performances at each boat level is there."

I-League: Sporting Clube de Goa 4-0 Pune FC; Home side escape relegation as visitors finish 5th
Fatorda (Goa), May 30 (IANS)
Pune FC ended their campaign in the I-League football competition in the fifth place following a 4-0 defeat to Sporting Clube de Goa at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Saturday.
The result meant that Pune (29 points) finished the season in the fifth place, level on points with fourth-placed East Bengal (29 pts), but behind on goal difference. Meanwhile, Sporting Goa claimed the eighth spot with 23 points from the full quota of 20 matches.
In this crucial round-22 encounter, a hat-trick from Nigerian striker Odafa Okolie (27th, 68th, 93rd minute) and a goal from defender Sandesh Jhingan (41st) handed Pune their seventh loss of the season. Incidentally, it was also Pune FC's biggest loss this season as well as their biggest loss against Sporting Goa.
Pune's strong start fails to set the momentum
As the game began, it was Sporting who had the early chance when striker Odafa got into the box in the very first minute. However, his powerful attempt from close was saved by keeper Amrinder Singh.
After soaking some pressure, Pune began pushing forward and almost took the lead in the 16th minute when Arata Izumi's curling free-kick in from the left flank found an unmarked Thongkhosiem Haokip right in front of the goal. However, the youngster failed to get a clean shot.
As Pune continued to push up with intent, a rash challenge at the back from defender Srikanth Ramu on Alber Gonsavles handed Sporting a penalty kick that was converted from the spot by Odafa to give Sporting a 1-0 lead.
However, Pune continued to attack the rival goal, but poor defending cost them again as Sporting scored their second in the 41st minute. Brandon Fernandes's curling corner in from the right was controlled and volleyed home by Jhingan to make it 2-0.
Sporting made the most of Pune's poor defending
At the start of the second half, Pune brought in Nikhil Kadam in place of Darko Nikac to add more firepower up front. The move made a difference immediately as Nikhil created a great chance two minutes in but to no avail.
Midway through the half, once again poor defending cost Pune as Odafa completed his brace. Mahmoud Amna picked up the ball and sent Odafa clear. The Nigerian striker held off a challenge from Ranjan Choudhary on the edge of the box, rounded off Amrinder and slotted home from close to make it 3-0.
Into the final moments of the game, Odafa completed his hat-trick as he ran clear controlling a lob pass in the Pune half and slotted home from close to seal the game 4-0 in favour of Sporting Goa.

Journal Article
An Assessment of the Rare Earth Element Content of Conventional and Electric Vehicles
Rare earths are a group of elements whose availability has been of concern due to monopolistic supply conditions and environmentally unsustainable mining practices. To evaluate the risks of rare earths availability to automakers, a first step is to determine raw material content and value in vehicles. This task is challenging because rare earth elements are used in small quantities, in a large number of components, and by suppliers far upstream in the supply chain. For this work, data on rare earth content reported by vehicle parts suppliers was assessed to estimate the rare earth usage of a typical conventional gasoline engine midsize sedan and a full hybrid sedan. Parts were selected from a large set of reported parts to build a hypothetical typical mid-size sedan. Estimates of rare earth content for vehicles with alternative powertrain and battery technologies were made based on the available parts' data.

In celebration of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month Oct. 1-31, Grammy's House staff, volunteers and board members are planning a variety of events. The main focus of the month is to turn Artesia PURPLE.
Purple is the color of domestic violence. So to intensify awareness of this devastating violence in homes throughout our nation and all over the world, residents — men, women, children — are being asked to wear purple in some form every day but most especially Oct. 13 and 20. On the 13th, everyone is asked to wear purple. Then on the 20th, everyone is asked to "turn Facebook purple." Through the wonders of technology, residents are asked to photograph themselves and friends and send the photos to [email protected] This is not gmail.
Mayor Phil Burch is expected to sign a Domestic Violence Month Proclamation at the beginning of the observance. Banners are scheduled to fly at The Derrick Floor, Hotel Artesia and the Holly Energy offices on Main Street beginning Oct. 1. In addition, purple pinwheels will be placed on the grounds around The Derrick Floor to commemorate domestic violence survivors.
The public is invited to participate in a Domestic Violence Walk at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 2 from Grammy's House Administrative Office at Eighth Street and Texas Avenue to Central Park. Participants are asked to wear purple. At Central Park, domestic violence survivors will share stories, the Ocotillo Performing Arts Center elite theatre kids' group will perform, and there will be singing and prayers. Snacks and a variety of giveaways decorated with purple ribbon and information about Grammy's House services will be available.
Volunteer coordinator Shea Church will be emcee, and the Rev. Mike Elliott of Faith Baptist Church will lead prayer. Grammy's House's own Joyce Lloyd will sing. Snacks and domestic violence information will be available also. Those who would rather not make the walk are invited to show up at Central Park to join in the celebration. Please remember to wear purple.
"The Saga of Diamond Bessie: A Tale of Love and Murder" will be performed by Susi Wolf of Albuquerque, who created the one woman show, at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 6 in the First Christian Church Fellowship Hall, 1006 W. Bullock Ave. It is sponsored by Grammy's House and the New Mexico Humanities Council.
Diamond Bessie was an infamous actress and prostitute who was murdered by her paramour husband, Abe Rothschild, in Jefferson, Texas, in 1877 while she was carrying their first child. He killed her to steal the last of her diamonds to settle gambling debts and continue his reckless and hedonistic lifestyle. The solo performance portrays her life from the earlier and happier years to her final tragic ending, and perhaps even beyond. The show is free but for adults only due to mature content.
To wind up the month, an open house is planned from 4 – 6 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Grammy's House Administration Office, 811 W. Texas Ave. Folks are invited to come for refreshments and see improvements to the property that have been partially financed by generous donations from the community to allow Grammy's House to continue providing help and services for local domestic violence victims. It's Grammy's House's way of saying thank you to our generous donors and supporters for the more than 20 years Grammy's has been in existence.
Thank you, Artesia!

Use money in right ways
You can easily realize the importance of money when you have not even a single penny and that condition no one can even feel a sense of support for you. People will always salute you and will give you more respect when you have luxurious car, a big home, and large bank balance. It is the trend of now days that they usually do not judge others with their activities but look over their property and the money which he has because they think that the only way to make people happy and to get everything is to have a big money. So, if you have some money then it means you are also among those persons who are able to get more respect from other people in the society but you have no need to lose that respect. You need to use your money in right ways or the ways which are necessary for you to invest in them. You should think many times before you buy something or invest in your project because when it will go away from your hands then you will not be able to bring it back.

The Paperless Office – An Introductory Guide for SMEs
How to keep yourself from drowning in paper.
The Paperless Office is a relatively new concept. Paper, in its many forms, has been in use in businesses for thousands of years. As a means of holding and distributing information, it is probably going to be with us for decades, if not centuries to come.
But how much paper is too much paper?
According to the Paperless Project:
- Paper in the average business grows by 22% a year, meaning your paper will double in 3.3 years.
- The average office worker continues to use a staggering 10,000 sheets of copy paper every year.
- A typical employee spends 30-40% of his time looking for information locked in email and filing cabinets
*Statistics based on US data.
It is probably safe to assume that the above stats are not that different from country to country including in South Africa. Thus, it can be seen that paper consumption is not only increasing but is increasingly responsible for a loss of production time and one of the main contributors to inefficiencies in the office not to mention costs.
At the level of a large corporation, the sheer volumes of paper being collected and stored is going to require a large-scale project to handle. At the level of an SME or Startup, the problem is one that can be more easily contained and rectified if action is taken at once.
SMEs – Pioneers of Paperless Offices
While it is true that SMEs generally do not have the resources and staff complements of large corporate companies and generally have to wear several hats to keep the business running and expanding, SMEs nonetheless are better positioned to build in more efficient management systems.
When it comes to going paperless, the task is not only smaller than it would be for a corporate but it will realise increases in efficiency, productivity and lowering of costs sooner.
SMEs below a certain size have the ability to change and evolve swifter than larger organisations. The ability to implement changes and improvements can unlock swifter growth, greater profits and the ability to punch above their weight.
How to Go Paperless
Transitioning to a paperless office will require a number of changes and the following questions will need to be considered:
- How is paper currently used in your office?
- How much paper do you use?
- Is paper essential in any way?
- How much of your current stored paper documents can be archived offsite?
- How much can be securely shredded?
- Which paper documents, if any are used regularly and so, must be stored onsite?
- Which divisions or departments within your business make use of paper documents and how do they use them?
So the first step is a Paper Use Survey to understand how paper is used.
The next step is to find a partner who can digitise your documents using bulk scanning services. Here you will want to find a partner with experience but also flexible options such as onsite or offsite scanning or scanner hire with or without an operator.
Your partner should also offer the storage of digitised papers as well as access to them through secure retrieval process. Better still is a partner that can handle the archiving of important paper documents that are not accessed often and the secure destruction of paper documents that no longer need to be kept and are not subject to legislated storage periods.
The Benefits of a Paperless Office
First of all, having a completely paperless office will probably not be workable for everyone. There is nothing wrong with using paper and it is an incredibly useful media for businesses.
The main idea of the paperless office, besides being gentler on our environment, is to increase productivity and efficiency by removing paper jams, so to speak. Too much paper costs money, has to be managed and files and kept secure.
By removing paper and replacing it were a better alternative exists you get to unlock many benefits. These include:
- Reduced costs of paper and filing and management of paper.
- Freeing up of office space for more productive use than paper storage.
- Faster access to documents through digital archives with search functionality.
- Multi-user access to documents.
- Secure access through access control.
- Access from multiple locations.
- And the list goes on…
So, if you are an SME, you have a great opportunity to put your business in a better position. A Paperless office or a hybrid form of one should definitely be at the top of your list for improving your business's productivity and efficiency.

By the time I realized where this blog was taking me, it was too late to turn back. I don't say that as an admission of regret, rather I say it to record the truth.
Because the truth also is, if I could have seen the future of my unfolding here, the unpacking of my experiences, the journey of a fledgling creative, and the love-journey into mySelf, I would have turned and run like my ass was on fire.
I am doing here what every human being is born to do, I am shining my light into the world. I am doing what we have each done so naturally as children, from the time we are born, crying out to be heard, crying out to be fed. I am making myself known, to be seen and to be held whether the world chooses to meet me or not.
Humans are wired for connection. Period.
At first I shuddered at the notion. Seeking connection? Among strangers? Opening my heart, baring my soul? Nooo. Oh, I could never do that.
But why not?
Because it's just not done, that's why. What would people think?
And yet, the angels were whispering. And my heart was stirred, nudged gently from a dormant state, a natural sleep of waiting for a time which had finally arrived to meet her. I was as helpless to resist this writer's journey as a dolphin resisting the urge to swim.
So I said yes to the calling that whispered into my heart.
I began writing here, at first with no small amount of trepidation: trembling, hesitant, embarrassed. Eventually, seeing no booing and hissing, my racing heart before each new post began to settle down, taking comfort in the routine.
And yet, when a book idea found me in Summer 2017, anxiety flooded my being like the aftermath of a broken dam. I quickly learned to push myself beyond panic, emerging on the other side of fear, to tackle book research and meeting with new people.
I discovered within me someone whom I had never met, someone full of courage, the kind of courage I often felt devoid of. It wasn't that I hadn't shown bravery in previous seasons, I had. But bravery was something I used sparingly, for very specific and large tasks, tasks like surviving to live another day and tasks like birthing babies. Tasks like sitting through a root canal and tasks like finding my way home in the dead of night on unfamiliar highways.
A new kind of courage emerged, one that was less reactionary and more proactive. My new courage asserted herself, turning unheard of corners, leading me to next levels.
The courage to write here was new. The courage to attempt a kind of book writing which relied partly on the ideas of strangers was also new. Merging the two together, soul-baring vulnerability through blog writing and inviting in-real-life subjects of said book (people whom I had surveyed and interviewed) to follow along on this writing journey—whoa!— that was an entire other level of courage I never even considered.
Why in the world would I ever choose such a daunting journey?
Phffft! I wouldn't. The journey chose me.
All difficult endeavors in life choose us. No one willingly runs in the direction of suffering. The suffering comes into our lives to build us up and reveal to each of us just how strong and capable we really are.
I have suffered through writing here, disclosing weaknesses, exposing shame. It was my inevitable lot, a stipulation of the creative journey. I have sobbed privately and publicly over occasional feelings of ineptitude and overwhelm. I have watched helplessly as people quietly retreated from my daily life, seeing a burgeoning Maria they no longer knew.
Art finds numerous ways to birth itself, emerging through endless channels, muses and creators. Society attempts to regiment our thinking, setting boundaries on our ideas and lifestyles. It can not be helped, as humans, we are always testing the limits and breaking through set boundaries. This is how we grow and this is how we create.
My writing, in all of its seemingly strange nakedness, is such an example of art.
We, in this society, are suffering under a general collective malaise. We each harbor wounds in various stages of healing. We are evolving as a species whether we sense this awareness or not. The world is changing through its inevitable progression. We can cling to the false sense of safety felt in the familiar or we can spread our beautiful wings, be the captains of our own ships and grow.
We have been chosen for a deeper knowing. We can turn and face it, to meet with our unique gifts or we can look the other way, sticking with the familiar and the semblance of safe (the routines, the predictable). For those who choose safe and familiar, I'm right there with you because it's way easier and more manageable than this journey I have been on.
Nevertheless, I'm here now and turning back is no longer an option. However, now that I am here, knowing all the things I have learned so far, I wouldn't go back to my old life for all the money in the world.
I am astounded to know the woman I truly Am today. The woman who I thought I was— the woman who worked forty hours a week in an office two years ago, the woman who started this blog sixteen months ago, the woman who was once steeped in unworthy feelings, the alcoholic, the rape survivor— that woman was merely a composite of society's projections. That woman was glued together pieces of me. That woman was masks and personas.
The world around us defined that woman: said she was just a mother, said she was just a drunk, said she was crazy, said she was guilty, said she was pushy, said she was just a victim, said she was just a nobody, said she was just a blogger, said she was damaged goods, said she was too light, said she was too dark, said she was too soft, said she was too bitchy, said she wasn't smart enough, said she didn't fit– said so many different things, she lost track of what was real and who she was.
Like so many women before me and so many women after me, I believed ALL OF IT. Each day of my life, like a rotating display in a store window, I slipped in and out of beliefs about who the world said I was.
As for the world? The world was everybody. Parents, children, friends, faux-friends, siblings, loved ones, strangers, co-workers, neighbors, store clerks, managers, lovers, and haters. Even the most well-meaning in our circles have at times struggled to see us beyond what they think they know about who each of us are.
What am I doing here?
I am ushering in mySelf. The Real Maria. Not the Maria everyone else tried to say I am, the Maria I have been writing to know. I almost died not knowing who she was …. who I Am.
So, I have moved beyond trepidation and mortification. This world, as it stands, with its restrictive rules about who we are, its narrow definitions, and its failure to foster the connections we each crave, this world will crush us if we let it. This world is ours to shape into something so much more gorgeous and so much more aligned with our natural selves.
We can choose. It is completely up to each of us. What I now know for sure is, when I see you, I see me. And if I win, you win too. We are all in this messy, amazing, confusing and delightful life together.
❤ Maria
