On Saturday, someone broke into the house that Longoria, David Price and Reid Brignac were renting for Spring Training. (Yes, it's precious that they're living together.) While they were at a game, someone entered through an unlocked window and removed $56,000 worth of " jewelry, cash, computer equipment, electronics, and a weapon." But not just any weapon, no no.
Five-tool guy Longoria may have a cannon for an arm, but he no longer has his assault rifle. For whatever reason, Longoria owned an AK-47 and kept it at the house in Port Charlotte. The sheriff's office emphasizes that the weapon is "perfectly legal," though we're not sure what its purpose was. Hunting? Alligators, maybe?
We're not going to ask too many questions, and we're going to hope for the safe return of his stuff. But whenever Longoria guns them out at first, or turns a twin killing, opposing base runners should probably know how he's picturing it.

Knowing that there is a lot of Bleach fans that come to the site, I wanted to fill another request that was made almost a week ago. Today I will start the tutorial day with a lesson that will teach all you aspiring artists "how to draw Zangetsu", step by step. This is the sword that belongs to Ichigo, and it is a very nice one too. Anyway, since I'm not too familiar with the background of his weapon, I had to do a little research on it. If you happen to be a much bigger fan of Bleach and you know more 411 on Ichigo's sword, than by all means let me know. From what I learned the real name of his sword is not Zangetsu, its Zanpakutou. He wears this sword on his back and to be honest, Ichigo has it concealed pretty good. The handle is wrapped with some sort of bandage like cloth that was provided by Zangetsu. The spirit of Zangetsu is Ichigo's alternate self that looks to be like a scruffy thirty to forty year old man. He is what you call a manifested spirit of Ichigo. Zanpakutou is a regular katana sword but it is abnormally massive in size. The reason why Ichigo's sword is so big, is because Ichigo has a hard time controlling his reiatsu, and in return his sword winds up being just as big as Ichigo. I have always been a big fan of all the weaponry that is used in the Bleach series and manga, this lesson will show you "how to draw Zanpakutou", step by step. You can call the katana what you will, but for me, it was fun drawing it nonetheless. Peace out people, and make sure you stay tuned in to see what else I will have in store for you all.

My Wish List on Pinterest
Not that I expect any of you to be buying me gifts this year, buy I thought I'd share some things on my list this year - maybe they'll inspire your own list or someone's that you're shopping for. I used Pinterest to create it, which works like a charm because not only is it a visual reference for everyone, but is directly linked to each product. I am able to send the link to anyone that asks me what's on my list. I include my size and color choice on each item in the description box. And, because I don't want to know exactly what I'm getting, I pin many options for my gift givers to choose from. Another great reason to love Pinterest!
Here is a link to My Wish List!

I have this amazing friend (more like a sister, really). I've written about Alice before and told you how as a wedding gift she made a Gluten-free Thanksgiving + Rehearsal dinner when we got married. Now *that* is taking on A LOT! Cooking for 25 people you don't know with the additional pressure of it being Thanksgiving AND a Rehearsal dinner… and then making it Gluten Free. Yeap. She rocks.
Her mom, Edith, who is in her 90s now is awe inspiring as well. Edith used to throw dinner parties for her girlfriends with some kind of exotic recipe or food (like fried crickets!). She published a recipe book for family and friends that is at least 3 inches thick and filled with great dishes – from the exotic to the fabulously comforting. At 90+, she still bakes, cooks, and ships homemade candies to my sisters, parents and I.
Thankfully, Alice and her mom have inspired me to always be on the lookout for something new. Even in the grocery store.
Once we drove north of Chicago toward Wisconsin to explore and shop at an outlet mall. To be honest, I don't remember the original purpose of our trip. But what I DO remember is the pit stop on the way home.
While driving back to Chicago on the expressway, Edith spied a HUGE grocery store. One she had not visited *yet*. So, they turned the car around and we went grocery shopping. It was like a field trip for me.
Do you remember the wide-eye gazes of kids on field trips?
Half of the gaze is amazement and the other half is sheer fog from being uncertain about where they are?That's a little how I felt when I saw both Edith AND Alice grab their own shopping carts and head off down the aisles in search of anything worth discovering. I'm fairly certain that until that moment, I had only ventured in to grocery stores to buy what I needed or to check out the freshness of the fruit and vegetables.
I had, of course, explored the numerous ethnic markets in Chicago. After all, the city of neighborhoods has so much to offer and many, many, MANY of the markets and local grocers cater to their own neighborhood. It made shopping for specialty items a breeze and exploring new spices or vegetables and fruits a dream.
I miss those opportunities now that I live in a town with less diversity and much less diverse market choices. And while I was accustomed to shopping in diverse markets differently, I had not truly appreciated the idea of shopping with eyes of exploration and discovery in a standard, traditional, monster grocer.
And the two women with whom I shopped? They were a hilarious duo of questions and nags (like only a mother/daughter combo can), and discoveries and screeches of delight. I learned from the best to take in what was right in front of you and try something new. We spent forever in the salad dressing aisle reading all of the bottles, thinking about all of the flavor combinations, looking for local brands or flavors… or specials. By the time we left, those two ladies had several bags of groceries each and I had a triumphant bottle of a raspberry-fig-balsamic salad dressing in my hands. "Oh, yes," I thought, "Dinner is gonna be good tonight!"
I didn't see passed dinner into my everyday. And now that I shop gluten-free (that escapade was pre-GF), I see joy in reading the labels and explroing the shelves and finding something new to further broaden my eating horizons. And no, I have not eaten a fried cricket. Although there is no guarantee that I won't…. I just don't see it happening any time in my near future, that's for sure.
However, finding things like muscovado sugar – a deep molasses tasting, moist brown sugar made from sugarcane juice – and then wondering what I could make with it.
It's my entertainment-on-a-budget plan.
For $5.00 for muscovado sugar, I have plenty for several recipes (probably 6-8 if I use about 1/3 cup in each). Several recipes = entertainment. And muscovado has a long shelf life too – even better! So far we've used it with Chinese recipes/marinades, cookies, teas/coffees, bread, scones, pancakes, crepes, strawberries, etc. Anything we thought might be good – we tried it. Why not? It's cheaper than going to the movies. LOL
Recently I found maple butter. I know, I've seen it before, but it caught my eye this time around. Maple butter is not truly butter (although there are maple butters made from butter + maple syrup). This maple butter has the consistency of homemade peanut butter – creamy, smooth, and softer than regular peanut butter.
Coupled with the muscovado sugar, I knew I could try to make some killer cookies. I had been craving maple cookies like we used to get as kids. And these work nicely. If you can't find maple butter, you can use hazelnut or almond butter in these cookies as well for a different but wonderful flavor as well.
Keep in mind that hazelnut or almond butter may be a bit thicker than maple butter and you may wish to add a tablespoon or two of more liquid.
Next time you are out in the grocery store and you have an extra ten minutes, take a stroll down an aisle of jams, butters, syrups, etc. Even if the items you see are not gluten free, you may just walk away inspired by new flavor combinations.
Happy shopping!
Maple Butter Cookies
Makes 2 dozen small cookies or 1 large dozen.
1/4 cup muscovado sugar (substitute brown sugar if you don't have muscovado)
1/4 cup sugar
4 Tablespoons butter, softened or room temperature
1/3 cup maple butter (NOT maple syrup)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups + 2 Tablespoons gluten-free flour mix (rice based)
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup raw sugar (turbinado) for rolling (omit this step if too sweet – but it adds greatly to the crunch of the cookie)
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Cream together sugars (muscovado, white sugar) with butters (butter and maple butter) for 3-4 minutes.
- Add egg and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
- Add gluten free flour mix, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt. Mix until even. Mixture will be a thick cookie dough, but still sticky and somewhat "wet" looking. The dough is soft, but not runny.
- For large thick cookies (more cake-like), dip a spoon in to water and scoop out 2 Tablespoons of dough. Form into a ball and roll in raw sugar. Place on a cookie sheet – 6 at a time about 3 inches apart. Press down with three fingers to flatten to about 1/2 " thickness. Bake at 350 for 14-18 minutes or until browned and a finger touch does not sink the cookie. Allow to cool on the silpat/cookie sheet for 4 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Cool on rack for about 10 minutes and then flip over as the bottom of the cookie may still be somewhat sticky. Once cool, store in an airtight container.
- For small cookies (crunchy), dip a teaspoon into water and scoop out dough. Form into a ball and roll in raw sugar. Place on a cookie sheet (a dozen or more) – about 1 inch apart. Using a fork, dip the fork into water and then press down as you would for peanut butter cookies. (Re-wet the fork after each cookie to avoid sticking.) Bake at 350 for 11-14 minutes or until browned and a finger touch will not sink the cookie. Allow to cool on the silpat/cookie sheet for 4 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Cool on rack for about 10 minutes and then flip over as the bottom of the cookie may still be somewhat sticky. Once cool, store in an airtight container.

Moving is a big endeavour, and anyone who has done it will tell you one thing: It takes nearly twice as long to unpack as it does to pack.
So what happens when you move on a weekend and it's back to work or school on Monday? How do you have a smooth move that lets you and your family go back to normal as quickly as possible? Here is some advice for moving.
Pack a suitcase: The easiest way to reduce unpacking stress is to pack a suitcase as if you are leaving your home for the next week and staying in a nearby hotel.
This way, you have your toiletries, pyjamas, nighttime reading, clothing and footwear all in one place, in case you are unable to unpack quickly.
Often, people will pack either all their clothes in boxes or leave out one professional outfit for easy access. But consider, by the time you sort out the plethora of boxes, you may not be able to find the one that contains dress pants or blazers.
To entice young children into co-operation, get them involved in the excitement of the move by treating it like a camping trip. Let them pack their own suitcases (supervise this to make sure school clothes, weather-appropriate clothing and textbooks make the cut) and create a camping vibe in the new place by baking S'mores in your new oven.
Essential cleaning supplies: When you arrive at your new place, remember that even a newly constructed space may
be quite dusty. You may consider bringing cleaning essentials - Windex, paper towels, Lysol wipes, dish soap, broom or mop, dishwasher detergent - with you in the car.
After all, it's unlikely you will want to unpack your dishes, cutlery and pillows into a layer of dust.
A quick wipe-down while you wait for movers can help remove this dusty film and freshen up the place.
If there is some time between the dates of possession and move-in, you may consider heading over for a pre-move thorough clean or hire a cleaning service to take care of this for you.
Keep in mind, however, that you will still want to bring cleaning supplies on move-in day as your unit will still be subjected to movers' footprints and dusty boxes. And don't forget the garbage bags.
VIP boxes: Many people pack by room. That is to say, they label boxes kitchen, master bedroom, etc. This is an effective way of packing. However, you can go one step farther by labelling your boxes with different degrees of importance. If it's the middle of winter, for instance, you won't need to unpack your rollerblades immediately.
Pack seasonally appropriate contents and everyday objects, like cutlery, in boxes labelled VIP to remind yourself what to unpack first. Make sure you label the VIP boxes on all four sides with something easily visible. That way, you won't have to rummage through 10 boxes to find your can opener or paring knife.
One box at a time: You've found the pillows for the sofa, and now you are searching for the matching chenille throw.
While it's tempting to get bogged down in the details of decor and organization, when you first move in, it's most important to get your things out of boxes.
It can be less overwhelming to unpack one box at a time, rather than vacillating between three or four. That way, you can keep the extra boxes stacked and out of the way instead of taking up all of your limited unit space with half-opened boxes.
To keep yourself entertained, you may also consider buying mini, portable speakers for your iPhone.
Good luck with the move.

Colorado congressional candidates mingle at Denver Rustlers luncheon
The Denver Rustlers luncheon today featured appearances by several congressional candidates.
U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Golden, and his Republican challenger, Joe Coors, said they have received numerous comments about a story in Sunday's Denver Post detailing the unusual ways their families are intertwined and their efforts to try to remain civil.
Other members of Congress or their challengers who showed up, even if briefly: U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, and his Democratic opponent, Joe Miklosi; U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton, R-Cortez; U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, and Eric Weissmann, who lost his bid to be the GOP nominee in the 2nd Congressional District.
After lunch, the Rustlers headed to the Colorado State Fair, where they bought livestock from young farmers and ranchers to help them pay for their college educations.
State Rep. Sal Pace, D-Pueblo, who is challenging Tipton, couldn't make it to the luncheon but his bidding team bought a goat today from a girl in Rifle. Check it out on his Facebook page.

I didn't see a thread for the newest RoTK game so I made one. If there*is* one and I am blind (totally possible) please feel free to just chuck this one.
So who here plays this game, either vanilla or the new update? I'm currently addicted and would love to share screenshots, stories and whatnot with y'all. Currently I'm Liu Bei serving the Yellow Turbans and we've annihilated He Jin's force. Sun Jian serves us now. This is under historical mode too so that was an interesting twist.
How bout y'all?

Daughter of legendary Montauk fisherman maintains a life on the water
Sailing alongside Shelter Island, native East End sailor Patricia Mundus and her crew let the wind fill their sails, taking them farther west across the Peconic bays.
While steering the 57-foot ketch, Mundus offered her guests a selection of local wine she personally selected from North Fork vineyards, fresh oysters from Greenport and clams dug from Southold Bay, something she's often requested to do for customers on board.
It's a slower pace than life on land, which she prefers.
"Out on the water, the pace is just about right at 8 miles per hour," said Mundus, 56, of Greenport. "When I get on shore there's just too much stimulation."
Long ago, Mundus turned her love of the water into a lifelong career that's taken her all over the world.
She grew up in Montauk, but after graduating high school in three years in 1974 she shipped off to the Caribbean for a few years to crew sailboats and yachts. In 1981, she was one of 11 women to graduate from the New York Maritime Academy at Fort Schuyler.
After graduating, Mundus spent 17 years as an Exxon oil-tanker captain, supervising crews of 25 men at a time, carrying cargo to Egypt, Yemen and the Persian Gulf. As navigating officer, Mundus was in charge of voyage planning and fueling the 987-foot oil tanker carrying 210,000 tons of crude oil.
In the 1980s, Mundus said it was still new to have women on oil tankers and she was often the only woman on board during a two- to four-month voyage. At the time, sexual harassment laws were few and far between and most instances went unreported.
"If a woman said they never had a problem they would be lying, but you pretty much solved it one-on-one," Mundus said. "I would say, I've had to use my fists a couple of times. In a way, it was quite empowering. I learned how to take care of business."
While on voyages, Mundus would be away from home for months at a time. She got homesick, but she said the time at sea also solidified what she loved about it.
"I loved being at sea, out in the open," Mundus said. "I feel so at home on the water."
John Timmel, 57, of Tampa, Fla., graduated from the maritime academy with Mundus and they both sailed on oil tankers for Exxon subsidiary SeaRiver Maritime until Timmel left in 1988. He fondly recalls Mundus' infectious laugh and smile and the respect she earned working in a man's world sailing oil-tankers.
"She's always been a strong woman and well-respected," he said of Mundus, with whom he still keeps in touch. "Some girls did get harassed at the academy, but Pat didn't. She knew her stuff, something the men held to high regard. She was a wonderful sailor and they knew it."
After retiring from the industry in 1997, Mundus and her now husband, Earl Vorheef, moved to East Hampton together and started a chartering company sailing out of Three Mile Harbor, eventually moving themselves and the business, East End Charter, to Greenport.
Now, Mundus and Vorheef, 78, charter 14 privately owned yachts, including their own, the 57-foot ketch "Surprise" to take groups small and large for day trips. Though the demands of the job are different than those of her former career, Mundus said the feelings brought on from being on the water are the same.
"When you're on a sailboat, even just for a few hours, it's a small taste of that feeling, the natural quiet place and rhythm of things and absence of modern bumps in life," she said. "It's really a beautiful thing being on a boat."
Mundus' father, Frank Mundus, was a legendary Montauk shark fisherman and one of her main inspirations to pursue a life on the water.
Frank Mundus died five years ago at the age of 83 but his reputation for catching large sharks lives on. He is believed by many to be the inspiration for the character Captain Quint in the movie and book "Jaws," and Mundus specifically recalls her father catching a 3,700-pound shark with only a 50-pound tackle.
"My father once told me sailing was for seafaring tourists," she said. "I was hoping to someday change his mind, but no one never changed my father's mind. But I later found out that he told other people he was proud of me."
Sue Smith, who lives with her husband in Greenport nine months out of the year, but in Catalina Island, Calif. the rest of the year, said she trusts Mundus with her life. Smith and her husband met Mundus years ago on a sailing trip to Nantucket and have taken many trips together since.
"I'd go anywhere in the world with Pat because of her background," said Smith, 70, while out on "Surprise" with Mundus on June 20. "I trust Pat's local knowledge and experience traveling all over the world."

The next Eskimo North Users Meeting will be held on January 16th at 2PM at Razzi's Pizza on the Northwest corner of 85th N ST and Greenwood Ave N in the Greenwood neighborhood of Seattle.
In spite of all the e-mail I got from people who would be out of town traveling at Christmas, the turnout at the last meeting was still around 20 persons, more than I expected, and warranting a banquet room. Spiro's was unable to accommodate us for this next meeting so it will be held at Razzi's, another location suggested by one of our customers.
I got a LOT of feedback regarding the last meeting so I will attempt to come better prepared for your questions. It's been a long time, I'm out of practice.

Spooked by Burgas, Canada may strip terrorists' citizenship
Minister calls for move after Bulgarian probe into bombing finds one of two living suspects holds a Canadian passport
TORONTO (AP) — Canada's immigration minister said Wednesday his government should consider stripping Canadians with dual citizenship who commit terrorist acts of their Canadian status. The remarks follow revelations that a Canadian with dual Lebanese citizenship is suspected of being involved in a bus attack that killed five Israeli tourists in Bulgaria last year.
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney said that one of the suspects was born in Lebanon, came to Canada at age eight, became a Canadian citizen and then left at age 12. He said he assumed the man was a dual Lebanese- Canadian citizen.
"I understand he may have been back to Canada a few times since then, but he has not has been a habitual resident in Canada since the age of 12," Kenney said.
A top Bulgarian security official said Wednesday the two living suspects behind the bus attack have been identified and both are now living in Lebanon. The bomb that exploded July 18 as the Israeli tourists were boarding a bus at the airport in Burgas also killed a Bulgarian bus driver and the suspected bomber. Three men are suspected in the attack, including the dead bomber.
On Tuesday, an official Bulgarian report said investigators had "well-grounded reasons to suggest" that two of the suspects belonged to the militant wing of the Islamist group Hezbollah. The report said they had been living in Lebanon for years, one with a Canadian passport and the other with an Australian one.
"The confirmed involvement of a Canadian citizen in the Hezbollah bombing in Bulgaria last year is deeply concerning to us," Kenney said.
A Conservative Canadian lawmaker has a bill before Parliament that would revoke citizenship from dual nationals if they engage in an act of war against the Canadian military. Kenney said could be amended to include acts of terrorism abroad.
"Canadian citizenship is predicated on loyalty to this country and I cannot think of a more obvious act of renouncing one's sense of loyalty than going and committing acts of terror," Kenney said.
Canadian government officials noted other countries have the ability to revoke the citizenship of its citizens. Opposition Liberal leader Bob Rae said the government should not do "policy making on the fly" and urged more study of the matter.
Tuesday's revelation is the second by a foreign government in recent weeks that Canadians allegedly took part in terrorist attacks abroad. Canada has to yet to confirm a claim by Algeria that at least one Canadian was among terrorists who staged a deadly attack on a Saharan gas plant last month. Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird said Tuesday he hasn't even been provided with a name from Algerian authorities.
A number of Western citizens have been linked to terrorism both in their home countries and abroad in recent years.

This time of year, the easier the handmade project, the better!
Making ornaments is always a great idea. But since they're seasonal, they end up getting put away at the end of the holidays.
Birdseed ornaments, on the other hand, can decorate your outdoor tree for months and, hopefully, invite all kinds of colorful creatures to nibble and frolic.

For the second year in a row, I made our Easter egg dyes out of foods and spices. This year's dyes were made from the following ingredients:
Pink – canned beets
Orange – chili powder
Yellow – tumeric
Green – spinach with tumeric and purple cabbage mixed in
Blue – purple cabbage
I have to say I'm quite pleased with how they turned out. 🙂 Yes, it was another year of mommy having more fun dyeing the eggs than the kids. But the kids had a great time finding the eggs (over and over again) in our Easter egg hunt, so it all evened out. 😉
Here's my best shot for this week – a rainbow of eggs:
Want to know how I did it? Check out my tutorial on dyeing Easter eggs naturally.
I'm also fond of this picture, which isn't my usual style, but I liked the motion blur of the kids off to find more Easter eggs while daddy paused to recall exactly where he hid them all. This so perfectly represents life in our home on most days.

TREASURED COLLECTIONS: Kids are famously apt to collect anything, from dolls to their older brother's CD collection to bits of string. But there's one object pretty much anyone under the age of ten has pocketed and later displayed on a shelf: a rock. The stone's shine mattered not, nor its worth. Rather it was chosen because it was interesting or colorful or it made for good kickin' down a road. (One of the best and simplest of childhood games.) Kids have way of growing up, which means pretty much every adult you know, and you, if you're an adult, at one time was a rock enthusiast. And still may be, of course; gem shows burst to capacity with lookie-loos swinging by to admire the latest nuggets and pebbles. This makes the idea of a gem dig -- an honest-to-tourmaline dig, mind you -- appealing to pretty much every age group. We're all rock people, and have been, from a young age, and brushing away dirt at the Oceanview Mine in Pala on a sunny Saturday is one way to reconnect with that collector's spirit.
OCEANVIEW MINE: The mines are open a couple of days a week and digging starts at 11 a.m. There's an orientation, too, to get you started, and several tips. You'll search for your goodies at tables piled with screens; there's also a rock pile to explore, too. And the gems you might find? The list is shiny: tourmaline, kunzite, morganite, and quartz are a few of the things you might see on your screen as you (gently) shake out that dirt.
COST AND PLACE: An adult entry is $60; a kid's entry (that's a kid 11 and under) is $50. Also, no specific location is given beyond Pala, so you'll need to sign up first. Directions will be sent after your reservation.
PALA FAME: Pala, which is off State Highway 76 and southeast of Temecula, likely rings a bell, and certainly if you love your gems and you love your Southern California history. It's long been an area known for shiny treasures. Oceanview Mines is "the only actively working underground mine" in that particular gem district, it's worth noting. Just in case your other rock-loving friends (that's everyone, basically) as where you got the pretty quartz sitting on your bookshelf.

... doesn't resonate, on any level.
The Soundsmith room featured a hot and clean vinyl sound as played back with the Hyperion cartridge ($7500), which uses a cactus spine cantilever, routed to their affordable MCP2 phono preamp ($699), reviewed by Michael Fremer in our October 2011 issue and March 2012 issue. Pricing on the Hyperion includes a 10 year warranty and re-tipping. Playback came out of Soundsmith's potent Dragonfly speakers ($2,000). While I certainly heard enough Stevie Ray Vaughan at this audio show to make me wish I had crashed that helicopter myself, the blues master's slides exhibited a natural attack and decay that brought the man and his dirty Stratocaster to that very room in the Waldorf, a more than welcome revival.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7in 2014 Skin Before All Things
We make stuff people love.
Don't just take our word for it - here's what others think:
I made my own custom skin for my mom's kindle since she hadn't seen a particular design that she absolutely LOVED even after looking through DG for HOURS (literally), so I asked her what she was looking for and was able to make a skin that she adores! She loved her kindle before but now she loves it even more!
about 4 years ago
Have always loved the variety of designs offered by decal girl, this is my second skin from them, and what can I say. I loved it. Was a little fiddly to put on but than I have awkward clumsily hands. But when on it look beautiful. Loved the design and the high gloss finish. Was not expecting that because the first skin I bought that I got through Amazon for my 2nd gen kindle had a Matt finish and when I was checking this out I did not click Matt again was not paying attention, I just clicked buy so when I got it was like ohhh glossy. However really happy I got the gloss one now. Will defo buy from here again, delivery was fast, got it 9 days after I ordered it.
almost 5 years ago
Purchased Leap Of Faith
I've had 2 kindles and ordered it for both. I just love her liquid eyes and pouty lil mouth.

Parents guilty on all charges in JeffCo child abuse trial
Jefferson County jurors found Christine Arnold — accused of starving, beating and pushing her adopted 6-year-old son down a flight of stairs — and her husband Randal each guilty this afternoon of two felony counts of child abuse.
Jurors listened to hours of competing expert testimony regarding the boy's injuries, saw photographs of his back striped with bruises and cuts, and heard the child himself describe having a "bad, bad, bad headache" after Christine Arnold pushed him down the stairs at their home.
The panel took less than a day to deliberate in a case the prosecution called "tough."
"It was clear to us this was a child being seriously abused in a number of ways," said prosecutor Katie Kurtz. "Now he's in a foster home doing very well in a safe and nurturing environment with people who love and cherish him."
Christine Arnold called 9-1-1 in September 2010 to report her son was lethargic after a fall down the stairs.
The child, who weighed as little as 30 pounds at that point, told investigators Christine Arnold waited at least a day before she sought medical help. He also described being struck with a belt, being forced to take hot and cold showers and being locked in his room for hours at a time after he was caught sneaking food from the kitchen while at their home.
Defense attorneys for the couple tried to convince jurors that the boy suffered from an emotional disorder that affected his eating and caused him to injure himself.
The couple remains free on bond until their June 18 sentencing date, when they face up to 32 years in prison for each of the felony counts against them.

27 January 2017
Inga Eiriksdottir worked as a volunteer for ABC Children's Aid in Uganda in the summer of 2015. She wrote about her experience in ABC's first magazine and among other things she said; "I was fortunate enough to spend last summer as a volunteer for ABC in Uganda. It was a fantastic experience."
While there she asked students in the ABC schools to write down their hopes and dreams on a piece of paper. Here is an example of what some of the children wrote down.
Kirumira Dissan wants to be a pilot.
Nampiima Catherine also wants to be a pilot.
Lukwago Shafic aims to be a surgeon.
With the children able to receive an education there's nothing they can't strive for. There's a good chance that within a few years there will be two pilots and one surgeon relaying to other students their experiences at the ABC schools. There they will undoubtedly stress the importance of everybody being able to study.

Here is a cool request that was made by a DragoArt member and I have to say I was more than happy to fill this particular drawing. I am going to show you "how to draw the Hollow symbol from Bleach". Now some of you may know that Bleach happens to be one of my all time favorite shows and I have several t-shirts to prove it. Anyway, some of my favorite Hollow characters are; Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, Nnoitra and Aizen. For those of you that don't know what a Hollow is I will tell you now. A Hollow is a soul that is trapped in the underworld until a Soul Reaper slays them down. Some Soul Reapers are, Ichigo, Rukia, Rengi, and Gin. Once a Hollow is slain the soul goes to the Soul Society to become regular walking, talking people. The drawing itself is pretty simple and if you are a big Bleach fan than you will appreciate this lesson on "how to draw Hollow symbol step by step". The background is colored in black and then skull like mask symbol is like a grayish white. I think you will find the tutorial really simple to accomplish because it is broken down in a bunch of pieces. I will be back once again with more drawing fun so stay tuned in for more lessons coming your way. Peace out folks and happy drawing.

Management of high calibre athletes
The Assises Internationales du Trail, which took place in Courmayeur (Italy) on September 3rd 2012, allowed the presentation of several points concerning high calibre athletes about which the participants were able to comment.
The "Management of high calibre athletes" study group was a logical progression of this first presentation, with the aim of reaching an agreement between all the players in the field of trail-running (runners, organisers, brands, press…) on an international scale.
This text presents the results of the work carried out by this study group.
- To value exemplary, simple and humble runners who liven up the races, making all followers dream and alongside whom each may run.
- To conserve the proximity and fraternity which is able to exist between all the different runners whether they be elite, or amateurs. This state of mind is unique in the sporting world and must be maintained.
- To distribute fairly the income generated by the trail-running between the organisers, the runners and the brands.
The income generated by the runners' participation, sponsors and subsidies must primarily allow organisers to, annually, improve their event. Security, rescue, race routes, way-marking and refreshment posts are fundamental.
The supplementary income must be the means for the organisers to develop other services and particularly communication: race coverage, welcoming journalists, web TV, image production professional photographers. Other services can be developed for example the use of local produce for the refreshment posts and meals.
In parallel to this communication effort, it is possible for the organiser to be equipped with an additional budget assigned to the welcoming and rewarding of the best runners in its race. It should be noted that numerous organisers do not at present arrange necessary resources to reward the best runners.
The rules which were discussed
- Commitment bonuses
From an ethical point of view the study group was opposed to this type of premium.
- Podium premiums and the payment of travel and lodging expenses
We would like the budget to be limited to 10% of the registration total, with a maximum of 15,000 Euros (19,000 US Dollars).
But the character of such is difficult to control: is it realistic to set such a rule when each organiser may decide to invite athletes or distribute podium premiums with the aim of having the best possible elite participation?
The organisers can distribute a premium to the best classified runners only if a gift is offered to every finisher.
The organisers must apply strict parity between men and women for all that concerns the amount of the individual podium premiums.
But it will be possible for them to award a different number of men and women, by taking in to account the percentage of participation by gender.
However, even in this case, they will only reward athletes who have realised a time superior to a maximum of 10% of that of the first in their gender (male or female). It is, indeed, fair to have a link between premiums and high calibre performance.
- Runners assistance
In the assistance zones, the conditions must be the same for all runners (no special conditions should be accorded to elite runners).
In certain races, "pacers" are authorised (this clearly establishes an advantage to those benefiting from it). It is a practice strongly anchored in the culture of the 100 mile mountain races in the United States, with as its objective the guarantee of better safety.
For lack of having the specific knowledge of the isolation and risks incurred in each race, it seems logical that the choice of whether to authorise, or not, "pacers" must be left to the local organisers of each race.

In her follow-up to the critically acclaimed novel The Anxiety of Everyday Objects, Aurelie Sheehan presents a moving coming-of-age story set in the disturbingly reckless and often hilariously tacky 1970s. In 1975, Alison Glass, age thirteen, moves to Connecticut with her bohemian parents and her horse, Jazz. Shy, observant, and in a back brace for scoliosis, Alison finds strength in an unlikely friendship with Kate Hamilton, the charismatic but troubled daughter of an egomaniacal New Age guru and his substance-loving wife.
Seeking refuge from the chaos in their lives, the girls escape into the world of their horses. Rich in humor and heartbreak, History Lesson for Girls is an elegy to a friendship that meant everything.

5 Virtual Machines
How pharo works internally
Note: we refer to pharo, but this applies also to squeak, because the mechanisms are the same. Even their VMs are 100% compatible when not exactly the same.
When you run an instance of pharo, you are actually running a virtual machine, with the specified image passed as an argument. Pharo is made of a VM in the sense that its executable consists of an interpreter, which contains its own instruction set (called its bytecode) to which all smalltalk methods are compiled. When a smalltalk method needs to be executed, the virtual machine looks up the method's bytecodes and interpret them one by one. You can see the bytecodes within the image, try exploring
SmallInteger >> #timesRepeat:
this will show you the instance of CompiledMethod that gets executed when you do something like 20 timesRepeat: aBlock. You can even see the bytecodes there. The term Virtual Machine has been given diverse meanings, as you can see here, so when talking about pharo's virtual machine we may use a term taken from A Tour of the Squeak Object Engine, which is Object Engine (OE) that fits much better and is more appropriate.
But, where is Pharo's OE source?
The OE you execute each time you run Pharo is programmed half in Smalltalk and half in C. It would be nice to have all of it written in Smalltalk, but for many reasons that's not possible nor desirable today. A not so small amount of the code consists of platform specific support files, so it's easier/better to have them written directly in C. We call this code the handwritten C part (HC). The not-C part of the OE is all written in Smalltalk, and to be more precise it is written in Slang, which is a subset of Smalltalk that can be easily translated to C. We call this the Slang code (SC). This SC is later translated to C by VMMaker and used in conjuntion with HC to make the OE. We call it the automatically generated C code (GenC).
The Slang code is inside VMMaker package, which is explained in the next section. The HC code is hosted at www.squeakvm.org, where you can also get a copy of specific versions of the GenC, in case you don't want to mess with VMMaker.
Native vs. Object Parts
This compilation generates a native executable file and many libraries (one for each external plugin). This files contain the native executable bits of the primitive parts of the OE. That includes:
- Bytecode interpretation
- Numbered and named primitives
- Plugin primitives
As we said, methods are compiled into CompiledMethod instances in the image which have -among other things- a list of bytecodes. Thus, when a method is activated, its bytecodes have to be interpreted; that's the base of the execution model.
Inside the OE native executable code, this bytecode interpretation consists mainly of managing the OE state, like pushing and poping arguments to and from the stack, and sending messages. If you read carefully, you'll notice that there is an important group of things that is not implemented as bytecodes: primitives. There isn't any bytecode for things like adding two integers, but there is one to send a message, which determines if the method to be activated is a Smalltalk one or if it calls a numbered primitive, a named primitive or even a plugin primitive. Then you also have the actual executable code that got compiled with these groups of primitives. That would roughly make all the executable code you get when you compile.
But then, for all this native code you need to get support from the image. That is, you need methods that make the interpreter call the primitives and objects on which to perform them. For example, for SmallIntegers, you are going to have a lot of methods whicho don't have any Smalltalk code but a reference to the primitive that will do what the method's name says.
SmallInteger>>#+ aNumber
<primitive: 1>
^ super + aNumber
Note: code after the <primitive: *> is a kind of fallback code that will be executed if and only if the primitive fails.
The idea is that for each group of primitives you'll have an object model onto which to apply them by sending messages that call primitive code. You may also notice that after compiling the OE you don't need Interpreter and Plugin classes anymore (unless you want to change the primitives and recompile), the only thing you need are the classes that make use of the primitives, and that's the reason why VMMaker isn't included with in the image by default.
Some time ago, Eliot Miranda started to work on a new VM for Squeak (and all its fork, like Pharo). This VM is called CogVM and it has been already released. In fact, is the default VM included in the PharoOneClick 1.1.1 and beyond. Cog VM includes a lot of new features, but in a glance:
- Real and optimized block closure implementation. This is why from the image side blocks are now instances of BlockClosure instead of BlockContext.
- Context-to-stack mapping.
- JIT (just in time compiler) that compiles methods to machine code.
- PIC (polymorphic inline caching).
- Multi-threading.
If you are a little arround Smalltalk you may have heard about Cog VM and Stack VM. What is the big difference? Stack VM implements 1) and 2). And Cog VM is on top of the Stack VM and adds 3) and 4). Finally, there is CogMT VM which is on top of Cog VM and adds multi-threading support for external calls (like FFI for example).
Cog VMs have increased performance arround 4x-10x. In addition, it has improved VMMaker quite a lot.
Useful links for CogVM:

In this article, we'll be talking about a DIY method of making your own bicycle tire chains was not as hard as I thought it would be. I went to a local hardware store and picked up a few things I needed for this project. It turned out to be fairly inexpensive.
Things I picked up were:
15″ of braided chain $7.20
15″ of 1/16 uncoated cable (picture frame wire) $3.15
3 packs of 1/16 cable ferrule (used to bind wire together) $.78 a pack
A whopping grand total of $13.66 tax included.
Tools needed: needle nose pliers, wire stripper, wire cutter, and zip ties.
First, let some air out of your tires.
Then split the chain links into 6 links a strand.
Place the first strand of links on the tire and secure with a zip tie. Subsequent strands are spaced evenly with a 6 link strand.
Once the chain links are in place, route the cable through the end links and secure with cable ferrule.
Ensure the cable is taut. I wrapped the cable around the wire cutter and pulled to get leverage.
Finished product. I left the zip ties in place to ensure the chains would not move.
Lastly, inflate tires for normal use.

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — An Ivory Coast military spokesman says that Guinean soldiers have occupied a border village in western Ivorian territory.
Col. Cherif Moussa said Tuesday that the seizure of Kpeaba village was part of a territorial dispute between the two countries dating back to Ivory Coast's independence in 1960.
He said the village had been occupied since the beginning of February.

Novatec Inc.'s Filter Dust Collector units provide a higher level of vacuum pump protection than standard cyclone dust collectors.
Three polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated cartridge filters are 99 percent efficient down to 1 micron. Jim Zinski, Novatec's senior vice president of system design, said the remove more fines than standard cartridge filters, while minimizing clogging.
FDC Series 50 and 124 are suitable for us with conveying lines from two to four inches outside diameter. Filter areas are 15 to 24 percent larger than competitive models.
The cartridge filters separate the dust from the airstream, allowing maximum dust release and minimizing the amount of particles that remain on the cartridges. An internal material deflector/flapper check valve deflects incoming material away from the filters.
Fines are emptied via a quick-disconnect catch bin with cradle support.
Novatec is based in Baltimore.

What our ebook customers say:
"Your ebook was a godsend because it was distinct, easily accessible and very child friendly. The resource I obtained from you has been used again and again"
" I wish there would have been something like this for me when I was studying Shakespeare!"
" I needed a version of the play that was not a "watered down" text that my students could understand and get the meaning from so that they could relate to the themes of the play without getting lost in the language. This version has been instrumental in my students' understanding and I am so glad I found your website."
"The book is authentic, in that it's very close to Shakespeare's original plot. It also has the WHOLE story there, and doesn't miss parts out. It explores the characters well, for example when it describes Romeo's mood. It's a fair length, and it has a beginning, middle, and end, plus lots of detail all in there. I rate it 5 stars."
"I am a student in a World Lit class in college. I read the Tempest by Shakespeare. Actually I read it a couple of times. I'm not used to that style of language and grammar. Just to be sure I had all the details, I downloaded The Tempest from you. It helped clear a couple things up for me and added some minor details that really helped when it came test time."
"I was never too keen on reading Shakespeare, as it is written in very old English and I found it difficult to understand. This book has changed my mind entirely, and made me want to read the other books and try out proper Shakespeare."
"I was overwhelmingly pleased with the plain English text for Julius Caesar. My 10th grade students found reading the play much more interesting and understandable after they got the gist of the language through the "No Sweat" publication. We began the play with the plain language and gradually shifted to the Shakespearian version, and back and forth, when we found difficult to understand passages. It alleviated the stress 15-year-old students of Shakespeare encounter when faced with the task of Julius Caesar. Your version was exactly what I was looking for to help them out."
"After failing miserably to understand Shakespeare myself I was aghast to be asked for help by my daughter for her exams. The service you offer is absolutely fantastic and allowed her to be able to understand the play in modern day language, which made reading and following the original much easier. It is with no undertatement the reason she did so well in her English exams. Probably the best money I have ever spent on her education and I have already recommended it to friends!"
"I have used No Sweat Shakespeare 's versions of both Hamlet and Macbeth with my 11th and 12th grade students. I can honestly say that your texts allowed my students to fully engage in Shakespeare's text and, most importantly, to enjoy them. They found the story format much easier to read than the original script format."
"All the students said they found having your copy to read after looking at the original text greatly increased their understanding and enjoyment of the plays. Many said they hated studying Shakespeare in previous years because it was like reading another language; they just didn't 'get it'. However, being able to have the two versions side by side was like having a Shakespeare Rosetta Stone. They were even able to get the jokes!"
"My students patted themselves on the pack for having a deeper understanding of the material than their friends in other classes. Clearly, using your texts was a "win-win" situation for both teacher and students! Thank you for making a master story teller accessible to all students."

Chen embodies team mentality with move to 'pen
Former starter makes transition to reliever without complaint for Royals
BOSTON -- The thing about Bruce Chen is that he's agreeable. Very agreeable.
A starting pitcher for the past three years, Chen led the Royals' staff in victories each year. His combined record was 35-29 for losing teams. Chen made 82 starts and had a 4.40 ERA. Pretty good resume.
Thanks, Bruce, and now you're in the bullpen.
"I'm just here to do anything I can to help the team win," Chen said. "If they need me to be a long guy, I'll be a long guy. If they want me to face one batter, I'll face one batter. If they want to go one inning or give some guys some rest, I'll do whatever it takes."
Now that might sound like some scripted cliche from "Bull Durham," but if you know Chen, it's pure honesty.
"He embraced the challenge of it all and whatever he could do to help the team," pitching coach Dave Eiland said.
Oh, sure, virtually every pitcher who's established as a starter wants to stay in that job, but Chen was swept up in the tide of incoming starters that the front office brought in this winter. Then he lost a Spring Training battle for the fifth spot in the rotation.
So it was off to the bullpen, without complaint.
"Ever since I've know Bruce Chen, it's always team first. Always," manager Ned Yost said. "There's never been an exception where he's thought of himself in a selfish way. It's always, 'I want to win and I want to help the team win.'"
So far, it's worked just that way. Chen has been in two games and the Royals have won both; in fact, Chen was rewarded with a victory himself at Philadelphia. He's pitched four innings without giving up a run.
Although his starting background hints at a long-relief role for Chen, that's not necessarily the case.
"I'm not going to pigeon-hole Bruce as a long guy, because I think it'd be more beneficial to use him in other capacities," Yost said.
Chen has pitched in relief before. In fact, 150 of his 353 career games have been out of the bullpen. But Chen hasn't done it much in his five years with the Royals and not at all in the previous two seasons, so it's taken some getting used to.
For one thing, Chen has to prepare differently.
"I can't work out as much, I can't run as much, because you want to be ready. Maybe do some workouts after the game, because you don't want to wear yourself out before you pitch," Chen said. "You can't throw as many [bullpen sessions]. Sometimes you have to warm up quick, sometimes you know you've got the next inning. So it's a challenge.
"You try to adapt, but all these guys do it, so it's not impossible. I don't think I'm doing anything extraordinary; I'm just doing what everybody else is doing."
At 35, the time-polished left-hander finds himself learning from younger teammates that populate what is considered a very strong bullpen.
"I try to talk to [Aaron] Crow, to [Kelvin] Herrera, to [J.C.] Gutierrez -- all these guys -- to see if they have anything for me," Chen said. "Or [bullpen coach] Doug Henry -- 'Hey, am I throwing too many? Am I not throwing too much? Is that good?' Just get feedback and see how I'm doing."
"And they're learning from him, so it's a two-way street," Eiland said.
Chen has been accustomed to watching games from the dugout. Now, it's a different view. At Kauffman Stadium, it's a seat behind a wire fence in left field.
"Not as good as the dugout and it's definitely not as comfortable, but there's the camaraderie in the bullpen; we know that we're the only ones out there. We're trying to make it as nice as we can," Chen said. "We have some coolers so we have our drinks and there's a bathroom, but there's no replay there, we can't see any of that stuff."
As a relative newcomer, Chen doesn't try to be dominant despite his seniority. There's not the renowned "Bruce Chen Joke of the Day." So with seven relievers, a couple of catchers and a coach, what do they talk about down there?
"The first three or five innings, depending on how the game is going, is pretty laid back," Chen said. "We can talk about anything -- how we're doing, what we did yesterday, when we're leaving on the trip. Things like that; very laid back.
"The closer it gets to the time when relievers are going to start pitching, everyone starts looking at the hitter, what he did, where was that pitch and all those things. It's hard to keep up that all that intensity from the beginning, because by the time you pitch, you might be worn out."
Everyone, Chen has noticed, sits in the same spot every night. He's between Luke Hochevar and Gutierrez.
"And the candy bag is right next to me, and I like that very much," Chen said.
Around the fifth inning or so, the relievers start to move around and stretch, really hone in on the hitters, think about possible matchups, check the number of pitches thrown by the starter, ponder how they might fit into the game.
Usually, though, by the late innings, the options narrow.
"The eighth and ninth innings, that's Herrera and [Greg] Holland territory, so we just go back and sit down," Chen said.
So Chen is settling in nicely.
"He made the transition quickly, quicker than we thought he would," Eiland said.
What makes life anywhere with the Royals easier this year is the early success of the team.
"We're strong on every single side," Chen said, then broke into a grin. "I think the strongest point right now is the bullpen. So I'm there."

SKF four-point contact ball bearings
Robust materials and design
SKF four-point contact ball bearings have undergone a unique SKF heat treatment to provide outstanding strength, stiffness and wear-resistance. An improved brass cage is lighter, to reduce inertia forces and provide better ball guidance. Lightweight PEEK plastic cages with the durability and performance of brass cages are also available.
A shoulder recess on the inner ring of the bearing facilitates dismounting, provides additional lubrication improvements, and a redesigned raceway shoulder transition makes the bearings capable of carrying increased thrust loads.
Compressor advantagesThe recessed shoulders of the inner rings also keeps operating temperatures significantly cooler than conventional bearings. The optimized inner ring cross section improves stress distribution and minimizes ring deformation after mounting. During mounting procedures, laser markings on the bearings help prevent component mix-ups and help ensure that bearings are mounted in the same position as originally manufactured.
- Extend bearing service life
- Handle heavier axial loads
- Cut lubricant consumption
- Reduce noise and vibration levels
- Reduce heat generated by the bearing

The upcoming MSI Air Keyboard is a HTPC keyboard/mouse combo that fits right in your hands much like a game controller.
Because aside from the typical QWERTY layout, the back is ergonomic for dual-handed use, and it even includes LB and RB shoulder triggers. And much like the Wiimote, the Air doubles as a mouse through the use of an internal accelerometer, allowing you to aim the device to control an onscreen cursor, effectively eliminating that whole where-does-the-mouse-go-on-the-couch problem.
Through a USB dongle, the MSI Air (which is technically a rebranding of an existing product by Cideko), can connect to PCs and Macs up to an impressive 50 metres. It's available overseas now for the equivalent of $US110 bucks. [ElectricPig via EverythingUSB]

Where We Steep: Yun Xiang Tea Shop, Queens
The cheek-to-jowl streets of Flushing, Queens may not seem like the place to find a serene idyll, but slipping into a cup of tea—especially with the right guide—can be just that.
Stumble into the two-month-old Yun Xiang Tea Shop in the New World Mall, and—if you can divert yourself from the browsing the gorgeous goldfish-painted gaiwans and other teaware—sit down for a taste of some of their superior oolong teas.
Herself raised in the Anxi region of China where Tieguanyin (or "Iron Goddess of Mercy") oolong tea originates, storekeeper Sue is excited to guide visitors through the process of gong-fu oolong preparation, offering as much depth in her knowledge as exists in the flavors of the tea itself.
Her lesson is equal parts confident lore—that you should drink lightly oxidized oolongs in summer, and that it is good for hair, skin and "slimming"—and practical application. For the Tieguanyin she's preparing, a lightly oxidized and high grade, she's using water just off the boil—around 205°F. But before we start infusions, there is a ten second rinse to "warm and clean" the tea. Cups are also washed with hot water and are soon ready to receive.
Sue then begins a series of infusions and tastings, each one marked by taking in the aroma fully—both before and after emptying your teacup—and noting the soft, buttery, almost milklike notes that she says are the hallmarks of a quality Tieguanyin. The gong-fu process focuses on awakening the tea through a series of short, then shorter, then longer infusions, so Sue steeps the first cup at 10 seconds, the second and third at 5 seconds each, and extends the fourth and fifth to 20 seconds each, removing the lid for the tea to breathe after each infusion, which theoretically prevents "sourness".
At the second infusion you're instructed to wash the tea around your mouth with your tongue, tasting the full and savory characteristics she calls "tea soup". It's not too romantic a description—but it's accurate. Having a guide not only through preparation and tasting, but through the full experience, is of course a completely bigger journey than simply heating leaves in water. By being directed to take in the whole —focusing on the natural fragrance left in the empty cup, the mouthfeel of the tea itself, and the abstract concept of water flowing in nature—tasting becomes the broader, synaesthetic experience that a truly good tea can provide.

When the thermometer hit 100 degrees and there was not a cloud in the sky to block the blazing sun Lipscomb's Bree Thurman often wondered what she was doing this past summer.
Sometimes she would head to the batting cage at Draper Diamond three days a week by herself to swing at hundreds of balls sitting on a batting tee. Sometimes she might skip a week.
But there was one constant thought in her head all summer.
"I was just determined to be in the lineup on a regular basis," Thurman said. "All my life from summer ball through high school I had always been the starter in centerfield and batted at the top of the lineup.
"I knew college would be hard, but I always have had high expectations for myself. I wanted to be a starter from the beginning. Having to work hard for a starting spot was unusual for me. Being a starter one day and then not starting at all the next day was really stressful."
While it may be difficult to completely determine how much the batting tee work helped, Thurman's hitting statistics have been impressive for the Lady Bisons this season. The sophomore, from Spring Hill, Tenn., leads the Lady Bisons in batting (.354), slugging percentage (.583), on base percentage (.476), runs scored (17), hits (23) and total bases (38). She is tied for first in home runs with Vanessa Medina and Haley Elliott with four.
She is third in runs batted in with 13 and is tied for third with Courtney Billington in doubles with three.
"We always knew she was a competitor," Lady Bison's coach Kristin Ryman said. "I knew she was a player who was always going to keep working.
"The biggest surprise has been how her consistency has changed from last year to this year. With Bree I noticed in the early fall workouts that something was different with her. Whatever she did over the summer you could tell she had been hitting and working."
Thurman credits her older brother, Brandon, for helping her build on a competitive nature that she has never been without. "I am competitive in anything, even a game like capture the flag," Thurman said. "That's just how I am."
Pitchers find her difficult to face. She seldom gets fooled twice in the same at bat. And if she strikes out in a game she usually doesn't let I happen again.
"When she is at the plate Bree is the one person every game that we know is in the right mindset and is going to find a way to make something happen," Ryman said. "She has been that one person in the lineup who has really stuck out as far as great at bats.
"She will battle the count. You may get her once, but chances are you are not going to get her again. She will work through situations to give us the best chance. She has shown her power with doubles and home runs. She has stolen some bases. She has been that all-around player for us so far."
Playing again on a regular basis has given Thurman a strong shot of confidence after splitting time at left field or right field based on injury situations her freshman season. She likes being a player that others are looking to for production at the plate and on the field.
"At the end of the game I want to be the one up to bat when everything is on the line," Thurman said. "I have all of the confidence in the world in my teammates, but I love having all of the pressure on my shoulders. I thrive in that situation."
Thurman knew that center field would be open this season due to Lauren Dortwegt completing her eligibility. Not happy with playing a part-time role she put all of her emphasis on earning that starting spot.
"Bree saw that as a prime opportunity to kick it in gear and make her move," Ryman said. "Not only did she do that, but she has also exceeded a lot of the expectations we had for her this year. She is going to emerge into more of a leadership role the next couple of years.
"I didn't expect her to do some of the things she has done this year until she was a junior or a senior. But she has really been impressive with her consistency in the lineup. We have a talented bunch of hitters, but we struggle with that consistency."
Ryman rates her as one of those players who not only welcomes challenges, but thrives on them.
"Bree is feisty," Ryman said. "That is the best word I can use to describe her.
"She is a fighter. She is going to find a way to beat you no matter what it takes. I wish we could take that mentality and spread it across our whole team."
While most of the attention has been on her hitting, Thurman has been a solid defensive presence with no errors at this point of the season.
"Bree is very rangy in center field," Ryman said. "She is a player that doesn't always get the best jump but reads the ball well. Her closing speed is ridiculous. She can close in on a ball and make a play when it looks like she is not going to be anywhere close.
"She has made plays on deep ball. She covers the gaps well. She has a strong arm. Those are three things you want in a center fielder. She is always thinking ahead. She has thrown runners out at the plate. A lot of it is her accuracy and her arm strength, but a lot of it is Bree anticipating the ball coming to her."
Thurman always has a smile on her face when she is playing softball. She admits that her favorite place to be is on a softball field. She plans to play for as long as she can.
"I've played it my whole life," Thurman said. "It has always been my favorite sport since I was 4 years old. I love being on the field. I love competing."
