CORONA DEL MAR — Big leads slipped away the last two times the Corona del Mar High girls' water polo team played Dos Pueblos of Goleta.
The Sea Kings won both, including the season opener Dec. 7 by a goal. But that wasn't the way they wanted to finish games, nearly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
So when CdM met Dos Pueblos again Friday in a Holiday Cup quarterfinal, it provided an opportunity.
"I think they had a bit of a chip on their shoulder, wanting to put four quarters together rather than just two," CdM Coach Sam Bailey said. "They had something to prove."
CdM put together a strong effort throughout the game to win, 13-6, at its home pool, advancing to the semifinals. The Sea Kings, ranked No. 1 in CIF Southern Section Division 1, will play No. 2 Foothill in the second tournament semifinal, at 11:45 a.m. at Newport Harbor High.
Newport Harbor plays against Santa Barbara in the first tournament semifinal, at 10:40 a.m. at the Sailors' pool.
The championship match is scheduled for 4:05 p.m., also at Newport Harbor.
Corona del Mar (5-0), which blanked Palos Verdes, 12-0, earlier Friday in its first match of the tournament, got off to a strong start against Dos Pueblos. The Sea Kings opened up a 4-0 lead after a quarter on two goals by senior Cassidy Papa, one from sophomore Maddie Musselman on Papa's assist and another strike from senior Ally McCormick.
This time, they were conscious that Dos Pueblos remained dangerous. The Chargers stayed behind by just four, 8-4, at halftime.
"They're a team that I feel like has always been able to [come back] against us," said Papa, who had a match-high six goals. "But we had recognized that, and we were ready for that. The second quarter, you saw it, they scored four goals off of many of our mistakes. After the second quarter, we knew that we just had to put it away. We kind of took individual initiative to play good position defense, while also looking back at Jamie [Neushul]. In the second quarter, I think we were kind of getting caught dropping too many people on her. We really wanted to make sure that we had awareness, but we just needed to play good team defense.
Good defense by CdM senior Genevieve Weed helped keep the Stanford-bound Neushul scoreless. She had scored six goals in the season opener, sparking the Chargers' comeback. Weed had a standout all-around game in Friday's contest with two goals, four steals and three assists.
"Gen just brings that solid water polo on both sides of the pool," Papa said. "You know that you can rely on her to do everything. You can rely on her to play such strong dense, while also promoting the counterattack. Then she has an awesome shot, and she can post up ... it's really nice to have her. She's super-strong in the pool."
CdM pulled away in the third quarter, after a power-play goal by Shannon Cleary of Dos Pueblos again cut the lead to four with 4:43 left in the quarter. Papa and McCormick answered with six-on-five strikes, giving CdM an 11-5 lead headed into the final quarter.
McCormick had three goals and four steals for the Sea Kings. Musselman had two goals and two steals despite battling foul trouble. Senior goalie Erica Weed had to make just one save, though she provided the pass to Papa on CdM's final goal in the fourth quarter.
That last goal, on the counterattack, came directly after a Dos Pueblos six-on-five.
"It's a dagger, to be able to shut down somebody's best scoring opportunity then counter back on an offensive attack," Bailey said.
Cleary led Dos Pueblos (2-3), ranked No. 7 in Division 1, with three goals, and Jordan Williams scored twice.
McCormick led the way with four goals, four assists and three steals in CdM's victory over Palos Verdes. Papa and senior Morgan Stewart added three goals each.

Navy destroyer USS Kidd will stop looking for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370and return to its normal duties, according to the AP. The ship spent the last seven days looking for the plane, most recently in the Indian Ocean.
The Navy decided that, with the search area broadened significantly, long-range aircraft would be more efficient, as they can cover a lot of distance in a short amount of time.
A Pentagon spokesman said that the United States remains committed to helping Malaysia locate the plane, but it's not entirely clear how committed Malaysia is to getting help from the United States or the other 24 countries involved in the search. On Saturday, China's state-run Xinhua news sharply criticized Malaysia's handling of the situation so far, saying officials have been too slow to provide information that could help focus the search. The United States was also accused of not being "open and forthcoming" enough. Two thirds of the plane's passengers were Chinese, making its disappearance an especially sensitive subject for them.

APO Members Deliver Check, Tour Riley Children's Hospitalby Howard W. Hewitt • January 26, 2005 Share:
The significant impact of small children, even if confined to the corridors of one of the country's leading children's hospitals, may help Wabash men take their philanthropic efforts even beyond John Meyer's dreams.
Meyer helped organize the first Relay for Riley as a member Alpha Phi Omega, a national service fraternity.
Meyer's enthusiasm, after the first year's $2,800 effort, boosted the 2004 fund-raiser to more than $10,500. But a visit Wednesday to Riley Children's Hospital, Indianapolis, to tour and present the ceremonial check helped seven other Wabash APO members understand the real impact Riley has on children's lives.
"It just brings it closer to how important this really is and why this should be continued," said Jeremy Wilcox '07. "I asked John what got him involved and so motivated to do this and he said he was coming down here and realized how important this really is."
Meyer's mother, Becky, volunteers at Riley. And though John was born at a different Indianapolis hospital, he had problems as a baby that motivated his mother to get involved.
This was a case of like mother, like son. Meyer was noticeably quiet near the end of the Jan.25 visit and has expressed concerns for the fund-raising event after he graduates.
"I've been taught leadership from my parents my whole life, through Hoosier Boys State, through high school, through sports," Meyer '05 said. "The biggest homage they could do to this event would be to not only meet the goal we set this year but exceed it next year as well."
Wilcox and James Satkus '06 will co-chair the 2005 Relay for Riley. Satkus won't lack for personal motivation – his mother survived non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and had a stem cell transplant.
Though Satkus saw enough of hospitals when his mother was ill, he'd never been to Riley before. "This means a lot to me, especially with my mom being a cancer survivor, to see what these kids have and the chances they have.
"It solidifies my desire to help them all the more. I'm really excited to be taking over the reigns with Jeremy next year."
The Wabash guys are already talking about a $15,000 goal. The Riley Foundation leaders learned not to underestimate Wabash men.
"John came at Christmas time last year and brought a check for a little under $3,000," said Heather Meek, a foundation officer who works with religious, service, and civic organizations raising money for Riley. "John said to me then that next year it's (check) going to be for $10,000 and I didn't even doubt it."
Additionally, Meeks thinks the APO effort is a template for other campuses large and small. "I really think it would serve as a model for other organizations for what you can do if you're really willing to get out there and work hard.
"John first came to me a couple of years ago and put this event together and raised nearly $3,000 which we think is an incredible total for a first-time event with college kids. Then to come back a year later with a check for over $10,000 is just unbelievable. It just shows the commitment of these kids. Now they've have visited the hospital and been able to see what their hard work is going toward."
The signature event was a 45-mile relay from Crawfordsville to Indianapolis run in early September last year. The APO members, most not athletes, ran the distance as a relay team.
Eight APO members toured the hospital after spending one-on-one time with children in two different hospital play areas.

Authorities say several surveillance photos recorded hours before -- and minutes after -- his friend was shot to death show former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez holding a gun.
The photos, taken from Hernandez's home surveillance system, are the public's first look at images apparently showing Hernandez holding a gun before and after the killing. They are in more than 100 pages of court records released on Thursday by Attleboro District Court. Prosecutors previously described the photos in court and in affidavits.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the death of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old Boston semi-professional football player whose body was found June 17 in an industrial park about a mile from Hernandez's home.
On Friday, Hernandez associate Ernest Wallace is scheduled to appear in court.

Precision farming — one of the hot topics in agriculture today — will be the special session for the second annual California Central Coast Cotton Conference to be held Nov. 17-19 at the Cliff's Resort in Shell Beach, Calif.
One of this year's co-sponsors is Western Farm Press.
The conference is an in-depth look at cotton management production practices in the San Joaquin Valley and a continuing education course for pest control advisers and certified agronomists.
The meeting's primary focus remains production issues and management techniques unique to California — and more specifically the San Joaquin Valley. This year's special section theme is: "Not Just Pretty Pictures — Precision Farming Technology in Cotton Production."
Lowell Zelinski, former University of California farm advisor and now a private cotton specialist, developed and hosted the first Central Coast Cotton Conference last year. His company, Precision Ag Consulting, along with Bayer CropScience, Monsanto; Gustafson, BASF/Micro Flo Co., InTime, Inc., Britz Fertilizers, Calcot, Inc., Syngenta; Digital Globe AgroWatch and Western Farm Press are sponsoring the conference.
Modeled after university short courses, Zelinski says the conference is designed to assists cotton professionals to further develop their knowledge about cotton production in the San Joaquin Valley. The inaugural conference was such a great success that it's now become an annual event.
Meeting feedback
"We received such great feedback from last year's conference that we knew we had to do it again," Zelinski said. "We conducted a survey, and both sponsors and attendees said the meeting was informative and fun, and thought that it should become an annual meeting."
The meeting will include eight hours of instruction that will begin with a review of the 2004 production season, and will cover cotton growth and development, pest management, agronomics and harvest. Pest control advisers and certified agronomists can earn up to eight continuing education credits from these sessions. There will also be a four-hour session on precision farming, which will include a panel discussion from some of today's top experts in the field.
The sessions are presented in a guided-discussion format and will synthesize a large body of past research for farmers, PCAs and agronomists to use in their everyday cotton production decision-making.
Pete Goodell, a University of California integrated pest management specialist, will conduct the pest management session. There will be several speakers on the topic of precision farming including long-time innovative Mississippi farmer and past president of the National Cotton Council, Kenneth Hood. Hood is owner of InTime, Inc., one of the nation's fastest-growing aerial imaging providers.
Satellite imagery
Also on the precision farming bill will be Doug Picanso of Digital Globe, a satellite imagery provider. Additional precision farming speakers will be announced later.
Other changes this year include the addition of an 18-hole golf tournament at the Avila Beach Resort hosted by Bayer CropScience, an opening night reception hosted by BASF/Micro Flo, and a special guest entertainer at the Thursday evening dinner, which is hosted by Monsanto.
Entertainment will be provided by Carl Winter, who has been called the "Artist Formerly Known as Prince of Pesticides" and the "Elvis of E. coli." Winter is an UC Davis Extension food toxicologist. He writes and performs musical parodies of contemporary popular music making them appropriate to food safety issues such as bacterial contamination, irradiation, biotechnology, government regulation and pesticides. He has appeared throughout the country with his interactive live performances and distributed more than 13,000 of his self-produced CDs throughout the world.
"Since spouses usually attend the dinner, we wanted to provide some entertainment that everyone would enjoy," Zelinski said. "Carl Winter's songs are hilarious and will really add a nice touch to the conference."
The conference will begin Wednesday, Nov. 17 at 6 p.m. with the welcome reception and conclude Friday, Nov. 19 at 4 p.m. The two and one-half day conference registration fee is $175 per person and includes all meals for conference participants and a copy of the 2004 Cotton Production Guide.
The Cliffs Resort is offering discounted ocean view rooms for $134 per night, and stays can be extended through the weekend. Reservations are available by contacting the Cliff's Resort at (800) 826-7827 or by visiting www.cliffsresort.com. Be sure to ask for the discounted conference rate.
Reservations are due Nov. 1 and space is limited. For more information or to register for the conference, visit www.zelinskiag.com, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, or call Becky Zelinski, conference coordinator, at (661) 664-6941.
Zelinski has worked in the cotton industry in California, the United States and abroad. He is a well-respected industry leader who has garnered most of his cotton production expertise from working with growers and ag-related programs throughout California. Zelinski has a master's degree in ag science from California Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo and a doctorate in soil science from the University of California, Davis. He has worked as a farm advisor for the UC Cooperative Extensive Service, directed the agronomic services department for Delta & Pine Land Co. in Scott, Miss., and has been vice president of production and operations for California Planting Cotton Seed Distributors in Shafter. He now owns his own consulting company, Precision Ag Consulting.

- Jan 19:
- Tru Skin Smoothie recipe
Looking to revive your skin for 2013? Cynthia Sass recommends five things you can do at home:
Lighten your load: Try wearing less makeup. Pick one to two key products to bring out your best features and go selective on the rest.
Clean house: Dump out all of your makeup, skincare and brushes and throw away everything that is not directly serving you or is old.
"That is one of the most liberating things you can possibly do," Sass says.
Start fresh: Apply the same approach you take with the rest of your body for the New Year. If you want to improve your overall health, make your skin your focus and use it as a health barometer. Your whole body will benefit from improving your skin health, especially if you take a holistic (inside and outside) approach.
Educate yourself: Resolve to learn how to read labels. Know what you're spending your money on and what you are putting on your skin. Question authority. Ask questions. Explore the alternatives.
Don't worry about makeup trends: There will always be trends, but the best "trend" to follow is personal: What makes you look and feel best? Timeless beauty never goes out of style.
Tru Skincare online: truskincareboulder.com/
As Cynthia Sass sees it, your skin is a window to what is going on inside your body.
That's another way of saying, "You are what you eat." Which means I must eat sandboxes, dust, brittle splinters and bloody knuckles. Or I lack fish oil. One or the other.
Sass runs Tru Skincare in Boulder, a company with a different approach than the norm. Instead of studying at the Aveda Institute or taking another mainstream pathway, Sass decided to study at the Concentric Healing Institute in Boulder.
She studied the healing arts of the skin.
The institute, known as CHI, is the only school in the nation with this approach to beauty, she says.
That wasn't the beginning of her journey, however. Before moving to Boulder, Sass was a professional makeup artist in the Chicago area for 25-plus years, with big-name clients, including American Girl and Lands' End. She decided to move to Boulder to be closer to family and reset her life, she says.
But she had learned something over the years that she couldn't unlearn, and that is what drew her on the nontraditional path. Sass' daughter had struggled with severe eczema and skin disorders since she was a baby. After traditional practitioners pushed on her "every drug on the counter" -- steroids, various antibiotics -- Sass says she decided to dig deeper and figure out what was the root cause; after all, eczema is an auto-immune disorder, she says.
As soon as she eliminated dairy from her daughter's diet and began approaching skin care from the inside first, she says her daughter's conditions went from "cracks, welts and scratching her skin raw to pretty darn normal." Today, her daughter is 21, living in New York City.
"Once you've seen that -- that was my calling," Sass says. "That's why I got into skincare, not just to sit here and rub a face and throw creams on it. It's to fix issues."
She specializes in acne, aging skin, men and hormonal changes. When she works with clients, she spends a lot of time analyzing the client's lifestyle, history, current skincare, nutrition, digestive issues and stress, and she recommends supplements and food suggestions to help bring the body back into balance.
Then she approaches the skin from the outside, using the Sanitas skincare line (based in Boulder). Sometimes, she might recommend a peel or another treatment.
"My job is now to be an educator to my clients and empower them," she says.

Man Loses Amazing Star Trek-Themed Apartment in Divorce [PHOTOS]
After 58-year old Star Trek fanatic Tony Alleyne got divorced, he proceeded to live every Trekkie's fantasy and transform what had become his bachelor pad into the interior of the Starship Enterprise.
For the last ten years, Alleyne has given his apartment in Leicestershire, England touches such as a full-scale replica of the Enterprise's console (complete with flashing lights) and the "beam me up" transporters that Scotty famously manned. Since he was able to do all the work himself, he believes it has cost him about roughly $6,500 to do the unique renovation, but claims it would've been hundreds of thousands of dollars to get laborers to do what he accomplished solo.
Sadly, for Alleyne, he didn't actually own the apartment. And his ex-wife, who does, recently decided that she wanted to sell it, and that to appeal to more potential buyers all the 'Star Trek' fun had to go.
To say I'm gutted is an understatement. It is my life's work — and it looks like it's going into a skip. I admit there were tears,' Alleyne explained
Ah, come on, former-Mrs.-Tony-Alleyne. There's got to be some (single) bloke in England who'd pay big bucks to live in the frickin' Starship Enterprise. Take a look at more photos of this out-of-this-world flat below.

The Seattle Seahawks didn't appear to have a particular need to utilize the franchise or transition tag on any of their pending free agents.
Now general manager John Schneider has agreed that it's unlikely they will use the franchise tag this off-season.
"We're still evaluating that," Schneider said, via Eric Williams of the Tacoma News Tribune. "I don't necessarily see us using it."
The Seahawks only have 13 players set to hit free agency next month with only two (defensive tackle Alan Branch and linebacker Leroy Hill) being starters on offense or defense. Of the group, kicker Steven Hauschka seemed to be the most likely to receive the tag with a franchise tag number of a comparatively low $2.9 million.
Hauschka converted 24 of 27 field goal tries and 46 of 48 PATs on the year for Seattle. He was perfect from inside 50 yards but converted just 1 of 4 field goal attempts from beyond 50 yards. With Hauschka being limited in his ability to convert from long-range, it seems unlikely the Seahawks would commit nearly $3 million to Hauschka to ensure he remains with the team next season.
Branch and Hill also seem unlikely to be tagged. Hill was arrested for domestic violence and the Seahawks will likely not bring him back next season. Branch has played well for Seattle but not to a level that would demand the approximately $8 million price that is expected to come with the franchise tag. He only made $7 million over the last two years with the Seahawks.

We have not made images of the car publicly available, so you have to base your logo designs on the brand values listed above.
For additional insight into our brand, please refer to our design philosophy bulls-eye chart.
This contest is pre-paid and includes two (2) guaranteed prizes of $1,000 each.
As a condition to acceptance of a design, Next Autoworks will require designer to execute and deliver an assignment of intellectual property rights in form and substance satisfactory to Next Autoworks in its sole discretion. No additional compensation other than that provided pursuant to the design contest administered through 99designs.com will be provided by Next Autoworks.

The logo needs to include a typographic treatment (logotype) for the words "Next Autoworks" and an associated company logo mark (symbol).
The logotype for Next Autoworks will appear on all company communications, advertising, website, etc. Any combination of upper/lower-case type is permissible for the logotype. The logo mark will also appear on our various communication materials, and on several parts of our car (the hood, rear hatch, steering wheel emblem, wheel center caps, for example). When placed on the car, the company logo mark will be in 3-D (either embossed or recessed), so it needs to be designed so that it can be translated into a 3-D version (you don't need to submit a 3-D design, just keep that usage in mind). Also note that it will occasionally be framed by a circular element, such as a wheel center cap. Our initial thinking on the company logo mark has been focused on a stylized lowercase "N" theme, but we are open to any design that communicates the brand values described above.

A "Liederabend" (evening of song) will be presented by the Hope College department of music in the Padnos Gallery at the Holland Area Arts Council on Tuesday, Nov. 23, at 7:30 p.m.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
The Liederabend is the culminated project for the students enrolled in the college's German Diction course for singers, providing an opportunity for them to perform Lieder in the sort of intimate setting for which the works were composed. The course, taught by Professor Linda Dykstra, is offered every other fall semester and incorporates the study of the development of the Lied with learning-appropriate pronunciation of German.
This year's Liederabend will feature songs composed by Robert Schumann.
The Holland Area Arts Council is located in downtown Holland at 150 E. Eighth St., on Eighth Street west of Columbia Avenue.

There's a weird rumor circulating that breastfeeding is bad for your marriage. I won't say he started it, but when James Braly blogged for the New York Times' Motherlode a few weeks ago, he shared some, uh, interesting views on the subject. In a nutshell, he blamed his wife's breastfeeding the couple's five-year-old for the death of his sex life. It should be noted, however, that it died due to lack of demand, not lack of supply: Braly's wife, at least as far as his piece divulges, didn't stop putting out in favor of feeding her children. Instead, Braly was turned off by her breastfeeding and opted out of their sex life himself. Yet somehow, still, she got the blame, both for his lack of nookie and for… the destruction of the entire planet. No, really, read this:
He writes, "Lest you think sex is a private matter, I would argue that the decline of a couple's sex life can have significant social consequences. A man's loss of appetite for his companion can undermine his partnership, his family and ultimately the society of families. Even the environment takes a hit: suddenly, the divorcing couple needs a second house, an extra car, another set of Ziploc lunch bags off-gassing plastic fumes into the ozone, and on and on."
His final conclusion? That women should abstain from extended breastfeeding for the same reasons married men should turn down solicitations for extramarital sex. That these are comparable scenarios. And that, if one poses the chicken-and-egg question around breasts' original purpose, the obvious, logical answer is that breasts are first and foremost meant for men's enjoyment (before, you know, keeping small human beings alive), because attraction leads to babies… and definitely not the other way around. Thus, Braly has spoken. And he sounds like kind of a d**che.
In related news, this past weekend, a start-up bottle company, Bittylab, launched a couple of lines into the Twittersphere hinting at similar sentiments. One read, "New baby? Reclaim your wife. Meet BARE™ air-free." The Tweets were meant to promote, according to the company, bottles designed to help pro-breastfeeding families who find they must supplement with bottles, but the attempt to appeal to dads came off as totally mom-unfriendly (read more on the play-by-play here). Wrath was incurred, apologies were issued, and we'll see if the startup survives, but this, along with Braly's piece, raises an interesting question that, most likely, has as many different answers as there are different types of people, and relationships, on the planet: is breastfeeding bad for marriages? Is it, secretly or not-so-secretly, hard on husbands?
Given that many of the parents who took offense to the 'Reclaim Your Wife' tweets were fathers, I think it's safe to say, in a great many cases (hopefully most), the answer is no. Lots of men are entirely supportive of their wives breastfeeding their children, and aren't in the least bit turned off by the sight of it. My husband wanted me, and urged me, to breastfeed our son, and his interest in my breasts did not decline at all when I was doing so (in fact, we both thought my milk-filled breasts were pretty fun, for their very, well, fullness). As the BARE tweets (and a recently failed Huggies campaign) brought to light, most men are offended by the outdated assumption that they're secondary decision-makers with respect to their children, that they don't know how to care for their babies, and that they see their children as barriers to sex. Hooray for the '50s being long over!
Of course, some men do maintain these attitudes, and this is seriously unfortunate. Specifically, for their wives. Breastfeeding is not easy. Its success requires support, from – asthe AAP recently reported – all of the institutions and social structures in which women circulate (which is, of course, all of them). It should go without saying that spousal support is the most crucial factor of all. I have several friends who didn't breastfeed simply because their husbands didn't want them to (they regretted this decision later); this is flabbergasting to me. Nobody quite knows what's hit them when they first arrive home with a newborn, but I'd think most everyone would realize by now that the world turns into a tornado of sleep deprivation, poop, and general disorientation for a little while. It's a fun time, too, but you've gotta go into it together, as a couple, and probably not planning on having a lot of sex (or similar activity) right up front. Why deny breasts to the baby when you're not going to be in the mood for foreplay, anyway?
That being said, I've known moms who didn't want to have sex for many, many months after having babies. This is understandable; breastfeeding or not, being a mom is exhausting, and a total loss of personal space comes with it (so being touched more isn't necessarily a turn-on). It's also understandable how a dad might feel a little lost, after the initial infant phase, and might wonder where, when and how sex fits back in. Moms might wonder this, too, actually… In my experience, attending to one's sex life goes a long way toward taking care of one's marriage– though it's certainly not everything — and towards keeping things upbeat and on-track relationship-wise. This is especially true when poop becomes a frequent topic of conversation — not exactly romantic. Sex keeps things balanced! But I get that these are real issues that couples face, and must find their ways through. (In light of this, I've recently pooled real parents for their pointers on not only getting back into the mood, but also on figuring out nookie's new logistics, post-baby. Study up!)
Had Braly written that his wife, five years post-baby, didn't want him to touch her breasts because she was still breastfeeding, that would be one thing, and that would make for a very interesting conversation here; I'd sympathize with them both. But, differences between breastfeeding a baby and breastfeeding a five-year-old (and, granted, there are some) aside, his subsequent lack of nookie was still self-inflicted. And his attitudes toward women – and our breasts – are still totally backward. Honesty is awesome, sure, but if your honest opinions are entirely un-evolved, you've only outed—not redeemed – them through sharing them publicly. Said and done, I think the Bittylab bottle peeps just honestly messed up — but for Braly, I'm not sympathetic at all (except for his wife).
What do you think? Do you feel Braly's pain? Did breastfeeding have a negative impact on your marriage? Do men have a 'right' to women's breasts as much as babies do? Would you stop breastfeeding if your husband asked you to? Have you made breastfeeding decisions with your husband's input? Is your man supportive of breastfeeding? Did your sex life take a hit post-baby?

Liverpool have signed Spurs youngsters Kevin Stewart and Lawrence Vigouroux after their contracts at White Hart Lane expired.
Stewart featured for Spurs last summer in friendlies against Swindon, Monaco and Espanyol as well as making the journey to Hong Kong for the Barclays Asia Trophy.
The defender, 20, tweeted to confirm the move: "Delighted to have signed for @LFC! Its been a dream of mine from a kid! Thank you for all of the welcoming messages! #YNWA"
Featuring 15 times in the Barclays Under-21 Premier League in 2012-13, Enfield-born Stewart gained valuable experience on loan at League One side Crew Alexandra last April, making his Football League debut for the League One side against Preston.
Making the move to Merseyside with him is fellow Londoner, Vigouroux.
The 20-year-old goalkeeper, who was on trial at Liverpool earlier in the year, has also been allowed to leave Tottenham given that his contract has also expired.
Vigouroux also took to Twitter to celebrate his move: "So happy to have joined @LFC, what a massive club, can't wait to start! Thanks everyone for the messages! #YNWA"
The promising Chilean keeper played for Spurs' Under-21s last term and also spent time on loan at Conference outfit Hyde, making 12 appearances for the Tigers.
Both Stewart and Vigouroux will be reunited with Liverpool Under-21 manager Inglethorpe, who had previously worked within Liverpool's academy.

probe(redirected from Nabers furcation probe)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Legal, Encyclopedia.
1. a long, slender instrument for exploring wounds, body cavities, passages, or periodontal pockets.
2. a radioactive or chemiluminescent DNA or RNA fragment used to detect the presence of a complementary fragment. The labeled sequence is added to a specimen, where it forms a complex with the DNA in the sample, which has previously been treated to separate the DNA into single strands. DNA probes are used clinically to detect and identify infectious disease agents.
root canal probe in root canal therapy, an instrument for tracing the course of the root canal. Called also pathfinder, pathfinder broach, and smooth broach.
1. A slender rod of rigid or flexible material, with a blunt bulbous tip, used for exploring sinuses, fistulae, other cavities, or wounds.
2. A device or agent used to detect or explore a substance (for example, a molecule used to detect the presence of a specific fragment of DNA or RNA or of a specific bacterial colony).
3. To enter and explore, as with a probe.
[L. probo, to test]
(Sense 2) Probes are essential tools for DNA analysis. Every DNA molecule possesses some unique nucleotide sequences that differentiate it from all others. A probe is a relatively short fabricated fragment of DNA that matches, in lock-and-key fashion, a nucleotide sequence unique to the material that is being sought. Probes are used to test for the presence of cloned genes in bacterial or yeast colonies, for specific nucleotide sequences in samples of DNA, or for specific genes on chromosomes.
1. a long, slender instrument for exploring wounds or body cavities or passages.
2. a radioactive or chemiluminescent DNA or RNA sequence used to detect the presence of a complementary sequence. DNA probes are used clinically to detect and identify infectious disease agents.
1. A slender flexible surgical instrument with a blunt bulbous tip, used to explore a wound or body cavity.
2. The act of exploring or searching with a device or instrument.
3. A substance, such as DNA, that is radioactively labeled or otherwise marked and used to detect or identify another substance in a sample.
1 any device used to explore an opening such as a sinus or wound. Common types of probes include a probe with a blunt leading end, a drum probe with a sounding device for the detection of metallic foreign particles, and an eyed probe with a small opening at one end for introducing a guiding thread along a fistula.
2 any device or agent, such as a radioactively tagged isotope or a molecular deoxyribonucleic acid fragment probe, inserted into a medium to obtain information about a structure or substance.
3 a Doppler probe used to detect blood flow in a vessel.
4 the act of exploring or investigating an action or unfamiliar matter.
probeSurgery Explorer A long, thin, usually metal instrument with a blunt or bulbous tip which is used to poke around in cavities, fistulae, sinuses, and wounds
1. A slender rod of flexible material, with blunt bulbous tip, used for exploring sinuses, fistulae, other cavities, or wounds.
2. A device or agent used to detect or explore a substance, e.g., a molecule used to detect the presence of a specific fragment of DNA or RNA or of a specific bacterial colony.
3. To enter and explore, as with a probe.
[L. probo, to test]
probeAny slender, usually blunt-ended instrument used to explore a passageway, cavity or wound.
- a defined NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULE that can be used in MOLECULAR HYBRIDIZATION procedures to identify specific nucleic acid sequences that are complementary to it, by virtue of a LABEL generally carried by the probe. The label may be radioactive and detected by an AUTORADIO GRAPH, or non-radioactive, such as a fluorochrome, which could be detected by FLUORESCENCE. Under the right conditions the probe will hybridize only with a perfectly matching nucleic acid target molecule. The hybrid thus formed can then be detected by the appropriate method, depending upon the label on the probe. The probe may be DNA, RNA or a synthetic OLIGONUCLEOTIDE. Nucleic acid probes have a wide range of applications, such as in the detection of MICROORGANISMS in clinical specimens, in food and water samples, in the detection of genetic DISEASES (see RFLPs and in the identification of individuals (see FINGERPRINTING).
- a labelled molecule, such as a MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY, that can bind to a specific PROTEIN being searched for. The label permits detection.

Have you ever wondered who owns or makes the products you buy at the store? I was surprised by how many rival products were owned by the same company. It doesn't show up here but what used to surprise me was that Starbucks owns its rivals Seattle's Best & the Teavana Stores, but that is a subject for another day!
For those of you that are my regular readers, you might remember that my name is "Shanna." Recently I entered my name into a website that does a historical name Analysis. I had to laugh at the graphs that showed up for my name. Among them is a graph that shows the peak of the popularity of when children were named "Shanna" at birth. You may notice that is there is not a large range as perhaps the name "Mary" would be if you looked it up on the site HERE. That is because I happen to be named after a romance novel my mother found in the waiting room; the book was published in 1977. (I don't recommend if if you are curious! ;-D)
Have you ever done a Google search on your name before? My favorite thing to come up was a comic book! I mean that is totally me, right?!

ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) — Pontchatrain won the $200,000 Monrovia Stakes for older fillies and mares by three-quarters of a length at Santa Anita on Sunday.
Ridden by Gary Stevens, Pontchatrain ran 6 1/2 furlongs on the downhill turf course in 1:11.14 and paid $4.20, $2.40 and $2.10 as the even-money favorite. It was the 4-year-old filly's third straight stakes win on the turf under Stevens.
Kindle returned $3.20 and $2.60, while Purim's Dancer was another 1 1/4 lengths back in third and paid $3.60 to show. Tom Proctor trains both Pontchatrain and Purim's Dancer.
The victory, worth $120,000, increased Ponchatrain's career earnings to $324,882, with five wins in seven starts.

DETROIT -- It was a night oozing emotion, a night that will go into the record books as one of the most successful Wrestlemanias of all-time.
A night the record-breaking crowd of 80,103 fans on hand at Ford Field will be talking about for days, weeks, months, maybe years.
It was a night The Deadman refused to die ... and got to wear gold, maintaining a legendary Wrestlemania winning streak.
And it was certainly a night that Vince McMahon won't soon forget. All he has to do is look in the mirror this morning and see that he has no hair.
Despite plenty of interference from Shane McMahon and a Samoan Spike by Umaga to referee Stone Cold Steve Austin, Donald Trump's representative Bobby Lashley defeated McMahon's Umaga in the Hair vs. Hair match.
After McMahon's hair was lopped off, right down to the wood, Austin slugged back a beer and delivered his Stone Cold Stunner to The Donald. DTA ... Don't trust anybody.
The Undertaker, in an excellent, off-the-charts physical match, won the world heavyweight title, kicking out after a Batista bomb and beating Batista with a tombstone piledriver.
John Cena held onto his WWE heavyweight title with Shawn Michaels tapping out to the STFU. The match was well-paced, with several false finishes.
In what is likely a precursor to a heavyweight title reign, Mr. Kennedy won a trainwreck of a Money in the Bank Ladder match, with bodies flying everywhere.
"I would like to congratulate myself. And I'd like to send a message to every guy who has a championship belt around his waist," said Kennedy. "You'd better have eyes in the back of your head. Nice guys finish last ... and I'm not a nice guy."
Other results: The Great Khali defeated Kane; Chris Benoit retained his U.S. heavyweight title with a win over MVP; Melina beat Ashley; and The ECW Originals beat The New Breed.
Celebrities on hand included several Detroit Tigers, Blue Jays pitcher Shaun Marcum, the Pistons' Chris Webber, Wings goalie Dominik Hasek and Wade Boggs.
Detroit, with some assistance from its border sister city Windsor, threw a helluva bash. Wrestlemania fans came from 24 countries, all over the U.S. and nine Canadian provinces, pumping $25 million into the local economy.

FERRISBURGH — The Ferrisburgh selectboard voted on April 7 to pursue a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant that could help the town market the 34.91-acre parcel Ferrisburgh owns at the intersection at Routes 7 and 22A.
Acting on the suggestion of resident Tim Davis, who offered to serve as the grant manager, Ferrisburgh will apply for a $50,000 USDA Rural Development Grant that would fund a study to determine whether an agricultural incubator space, also called a food hub, could be successful on the property.

MONTPELIER — The federal government on Wednesday announced $16 million in funds to help Vermont and New York clean up their greatest shared resource — Lake Champlain.
The initiative, titled the Regional Conservation Partnership Program, will be administered by the federal government over the next five years to fund conservation efforts aimed at eliminating agricultural runoff into watersheds that feed into the lake, which is among the nation's largest bodies of fresh water.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The USDA on Monday announced that 582 Vermont dairy farms — 67 percent of Vermont's registered dairy farms — had enrolled in a new financial safety net called the Margin Protection Program (MPP). Created by the 2014 Farm Bill, the voluntary program offers financial assistance to participating farmers when the margin — the difference between the price of milk and national average feed costs — falls below the coverage levels selected by individual farmers.
MONTPELIER — Vermont Agriculture Secretary Chuck Ross is encouraging all Vermont dairy farmers to enroll in the Margin Protection Dairy Insurance Program, or MPP. Last week the USDA extended the application deadline to Dec. 19 (the deadline had been Dec. 5).
"Dairy farming in Vermont has many risks. The Margin Protection Program is a means to manage the risk of dropping milk prices and rising feed costs," Ross said in a press release.
PANTON — Scores of farmers came to Vorsteveld Farm in Panton Friday to learn about conservation practices and test equipment at a soil health "field day" sponsored by the University of Vermont Extension's Middlebury office.
Around 80 farmers from Addison and southern Chittenden counties came to the event, which ran from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on a humid Indian summer day.
BURLINGTON — With the stunning vista of Lake Champlain at his back, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced last Thursday that the federal government will spend up to $45 million to protect the lake and its watershed.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — After reconvening for the new session, lawmakers in Washington, D.C., have found themselves again gridlocked over a new federal farm bill.
When Congress got back to business Jan. 6, some members expressed a belief that a new bill could be sent to President Obama before the Martin Luther King Jr. Day break. But those hopes were dashed as a new bill will not make it out of the 41-member conference committee to the floors of the House and Senate before members head home at the end of this week.
VERMONT — A bill passed in June by the U.S. Senate would overhaul the nation's immigration policy and grant legal protection to foreign nationals already working in the country.
Vermont dairy farmers are looking for immigration reform such as this because they find it difficult to fulfill their labor needs without a federally recognized legal status for all migrant workers. Those farms increasingly depend on foreign labor due to a lack of available labor.
Editor's note: This is the first in a two-part series on Vermont agriculture and immigration reform.
NEW HAVEN — Addison County dairy farmers talking last week with Congressman Peter Welch said a new immigration bill is vital to meeting their labor needs, as farms increasingly rely on immigrant workers.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A cohort of legislators met in the capitol Wednesday in an attempt to find common ground on a new farm bill. But they made no real progress toward resolving differences between the U.S. Senate and House over legislation that covers a range of programs that affect dairy farmers, those who get food assistance and other Vermonters.

Fraudsters are masters at manipulating their victims—especially seniors. They can persuade someone to give them thousands of dollars for some bogus reason: whether it's to claim a sweepstakes prize, help a loved-one in distress or to strike it rich with a "guaranteed" investment opportunity.
An employee at the bank or credit union might suspect something is wrong when a customer makes an unusually large withdrawal, but they may not say anything because of privacy concerns.
"Privacy protections are important to everyone, but those privacy protections provide clear exceptions in the case of addressing fraud or other illegal misconduct," said Martin Gruenberg, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Eight federal regulatory agencies issued a joint document on Tuesday that clarifies privacy rights and responsibilities for employees of financial institutions. They provided this guidance because so many companies have expressed concern that the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act puts privacy ahead of fraud prevention.
(Read more: Obamacare is coming, and so are the con artists)
The law, also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, requires financial institutions to notify customers and give them the opportunity to opt out before providing nonpublic personal information to a third party. (That's why you get those privacy notices every year from you bank, credit union and investment firm.)
Richard Cordray, director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, said "reporting suspected elder financial abuse to the appropriate authorities is typically the right thing to do and generally will not violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act."
The new guidance also makes it clear that financial institutions can disclose nonpublic personal information to law enforcement agencies investigating suspected financial abuse of older adults.
A serious problem that is likely to get worse
No one knows for sure how much elderly Americans lose each year to financial fraud. A study done by MetLife estimated the loss at more than $2.9 billion in 2010.

From Imitating to Innovating
Time to Change Gears for Poland's Economy
Poland is Europe's growth champion. It has more than doubled its GDP per capita since the beginning of post-socialist transition in 1989, consistently growing since 1992, and was the only EU economy to avoid a recession in 2009. Poland is a prime example of the success of the European "convergence machine". In 2014, the level of income adjusted for purchasing parity exceeded $24,000 and reached almost 65% of the level of income in the euro zone, the highest absolute and relative level since 1500 A.D.
However, past successes do not guarantee a prosperous future and Poland cannot afford to grow complacent. Given the significant productivity gap—Poland's productivity per hour amounts to less than half of that in Germany —technology absorption will continue to drive private sector productivity in the near term, but it is unlikely to help sustain—not to mention accelerate—economic growth in the long term as Poland moves closer to the technology frontier. Investment in private sector R&D and innovation will have to increase far more rapidly. Growth can stagnate if Poland doesn't start shifting from imitating others to generating new ideas, from quantity to quality, and from potato chips to microchips.

Good points. Though the cobras were never produced in numbers. The cost of building one of those foreign body jokes is quite expensive, so hopefully they wont hurt price of real ones. I would imagine without a VIN to rivet in that these could not be titled as 69 Camaros. Titles should also read as a rebody, Gm was wrong in allowing them to be called Camaros when they should be called a kit car just like Cobras. I will never buy a new GM product after they did this, they soiled their name
I think that since the bodies are reproductions, there will be ways to spot them. Plus, the bodies will just "look" like Camaros, the title, I suppose, will show that it's not real Camaro. Only the fools will be fooled.Larry

One of the country's leading producers of uniforms and regalia, the Henderson-Ames Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan, served lodges, secret societies, and other social organizations for forty years. Frank Henderson first moved to Kalamazoo from Dowagiac in 1860 and formed a saddlery business with Charles Brown in 1866. After buying out his partner a few years later, Henderson expanded his business in 1868 by adding uniforms and regalia. Henderson formed a new partnership in 1870 with T. F. Giddings, but the two partners split three years later; Henderson maintained the new regalia division while Giddings kept the saddlery division.
In 1893, the Henderson-Ames Company was officially formed when Henderson consolidated with the Chicago branch of the Ames Sword Company in Chicopee, Massachusetts. Awarded the medal and diploma for excellence of quality and design at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the company quickly made a name for itself. In 1895, Henderson moved to a new home (Henderson Castle) on West Main Hill overlooking Kalamazoo. He died in 1899, so he did not live to see the scandal that undermined his company following the Spanish-American War. The company had purchased large quantities of unused militia uniforms at salvage prices, and after a few minor alterations, sold them back to the State of Michigan at full price.
The company survived the scandal, and in 1900 built a five-story factory on the corner of W. Main Street (today Michigan Avenue) and N. Park Street. It dominated that intersection until it was razed in 1940. The company manufactured uniforms during World War I, and enjoyed great prosperity in the early part of the twentieth century. By 1924, it maintained over $1 million of business a year, but the great depression took its toll. In 1933, the Henderson-Ames Company merged with another regalia firm, the Lilley Company of Columbus, Ohio, to form the Lilley-Ames Company. Operations were soon moved to Ohio, effectively ending the company's affiliation with Kalamazoo.
The Henderson-Ames Company manufactured uniforms, regalia, ceremonial swords, flags and emblems for fraternal organizations, secret societies, bands, police and fire departments, railroad workers, and even the United States military. Although it has been out of business for more than sixty years, many of its products--particularly its swords-- have become heirlooms and collectors items, which continue to carry the company's legacy all over the world.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Among the stocks that could see active trade in Thursday's session are Libbey Inc., Ignite Restaurant Group Inc. and J.M. Smucker Co.
Into the teeth of earnings season: Verizon Communications Inc. VZ, -2.15% Travelers Cos. TRV, +0.01% and Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +3.31% are on deck as the three Dow Jones Industrial Average components scheduled to report quarterly results Thursday. Notables also on the calendar include Morgan Stanley MS, -0.19% Google Inc. GOOG, +0.59% Advanced Micro Devices Inc. AMD, -2.81% Union Pacific Corp. UNP, -0.76% Southwest Airlines Co. LUV, +0.79% Baxter International Inc. BAX, -0.04% Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings LH, +0.49% Quest Diagnostics Inc. DGX, -0.55% Intuitive Surgical Inc. ISRG, +1.90% Textron Inc. TXT, -1.64% Nucor Corp. NUE, -1.58% Genuine Parts Co. GPC, -0.93% Johnson Controls Inc. JCI, -1.21% PPG Industries Inc. PPG, -0.95% Sherwin-Williams Co. SHW, -1.44% VF Corp. VFC, -0.76% Philip Morris International Inc. PM, -1.02% Safeway Corp. SWY, -14.29% and Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. CMG, -4.46% among many others.
Libbey LBY, -4.00% announced a strategic plan featuring a streamlined organization built around three regions — the Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and Asia Pacific — that the Toledo, Ohio-based company said will yield greater cost efficiencies. It will mean eliminating about 5% of Libbey's global managerial, professional and administrative workforce as "redundancies." "These are difficult business decisions, and we regret the impact they will have on the affected associates," said Chief Executive Stephanie Streeter in a statement. An exact number wasn't disclosed. Libbey's plan, intended to serve as a road map to to guide the company through 2015, aims to strengthen its core business in glass tableware and tabletop products. "We are taking the necessary steps to ensure Libbey thrives in today's competitive market," Streeter said. Among other things, the company will work to cut costs in North America, increase profitability and improve cash generation in Europe, and accelerate growth in China. The company runs glass-tableware production facilities in Louisiana and Ohio as well as in Mexico, China, Portugal and the Netherlands.
Also late Wednesday, Ignite Restaurant Group IRG, -0.75% said it will have to restate previously issued financial statements for 2009, 2010 and 2011 as well as the first quarter of 2012, as a result of errors dating back to 2006 in the accounting treatment of certain leases. The Houston-based company, which went public in May, estimated that, before taxes, the aggregate effect of the restatement items from 2006 through the first quarter of 2012 will range from $3.4 million to $3.8 million, skewing toward 2010 and later because of expansion in its restaurant properties. Restatement adjustments will have the effect of reducing pre-tax income by $1 million to $1.1 million in 2010 as well as $1.3 million to $1.5 million in 2011, according to Ignite Restaurant Group. For the second quarter ended June 18, the company estimated revenue would be about $119.9 million, up 16% from the prior year, as comparable-store sales growth amounted to 3%. But in light of the company's accounting review of fixed assets, second-quarter results and its 10-Q filing are expected to be delayed.
The board of J. M. Smucker Co. SJM, -0.93% declared a quarterly of 52 cents a share on common stock, representing an increase of 8%. "This reflects the confidence we have in the long-term growth potential of our business and its ability to generate strong cash flow," said CEO Richard Smucker in a statement. The new dividend will be paid Sept. 4 to stockholders of record as of Aug. 10, the Orrville, Ohio-based company said.
El Paso Pipeline Partners LP EPB has now has increased its cash distribution for 17 consecutive quarters, dating back to the Houston-based company's November 2007 initial public offering. The quarterly cash distribution per common unit now stands at 55 cents, payable Aug. 14 to holders of record as of July 31. It represents increases of 8% from the first quarter and 15% from the year-ago second quarter, according to El Paso Pipeline Partners.
Diana Containerships Inc. DCIX, -2.61% will put up for sale 8.1 million common shares via a secondary public offering. Among other things, net proceeds will be used for vessel acquisitions, the company said. Underwriters will have a 30-day option to buy as many as 15% in additional shares if needed to satisfy investor demand.
Anthera Pharmaceuticals Inc. ANTH, -2.51% intends to make an underwritten public offering of an unspecified number of common shares, with net proceeds earmarked for general corporate purposes. The offering is subject to market conditions, the Hayward, Calif.-based company said.
Underwriters fully exercised their option to buy additional shares in connection with the secondary public offering of common stock by Two Harbors Investment Corp. TWO, -1.59% the New York-based company said. This brought the total size of the offering to 57.5 million shares, yielding net proceeds of about $592 million.
Wednesday earnings recap
Along with reporting second-quarter results, Select Comfort Corp. SCSS revised its 2012 profit forecast higher. The Minneapolis-based mattress retailer raised its full-year earnings outlook to $1.41 to $1.47 a share on an adjusted basis, up from a prior range of $1.38 to $1.46 a share.

text: > Yeah, I think that Jim's observation that you should think carefully > about the diminishing returns of building a freeform caseless cluster is it's a very seductive idea - I feel the pull towards hackerish approaches myself. I think the main attraction is that the hardware _starts_out_ so remarkably cheap, in contrast to the final prices of a "professional" cluster. for instance, suppose someone pay $US 7M for a 1500-cpu cluster. jeez, that sounds horrible, nearly $5k per cpu! let's add it up: $500 for the cpu, half of a motherboard, half a chassis/ps. street prices should be ~20% of the actual cost. that ignores many serious things. for one, random hardware from pricewatch doesn't come with 3-year 9-5 NBD support, and is, in any case probably noticably lower MTBF. further, this is a large cluster, and intended for large, tight-coupled jobs. that means lots of high-end networking and fileserving hardware, not gigabit and a couple NFS boxes. Google's approach is excellent, since they are not running large/tight jobs, and have no reason to demand GB/s interconnect or multi GB/s writes to a single file. they are a great example of taking advantage of computers by the pound; the point here is that HPC can't do that as easily. some people can. for instance, if you're into running billions of tiny MC simulations, you're close enough to Google's workload that you could copy them. you'd want to look into questions of managability, of course, especially WRT service. and you'd still need to worry about overall power/space/cooling issues. in summary, subtracting the chassis sounds smart, but really only makes sense if you follow through with the rest - cheap motherboard, cheap cpu, minimal cpu, minimal network, cheap labor, workload that is embarassingly parallel, and not long-running... regards, mark hahn.

Blog in the family
My sister, Amy, is big Alias and Lost fan, thus she's spawned The Evil Puppet Masters, a Bad Robot newsblog. Bad Robot being JJ Abrams' production company. Yes, the same JJ Abrams who created Alias and Lost and who is currently directing MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3. To prove just how much of a fan she really was of the shows, she decided to start up an official fansite for Bryan Burk, executive vice-president of Bad Robot, and executive producer for Lost. Yeah, I know all this sounds so geeky, but geekiness runs in the family, I'm afraid. Amy has become quite the devoted fan who happens to have connections. (Don't believe me? Just click here.) Amy tells me that there are many people out there who would love to be her friend. I'm sure that's no lie.
Lotus Geek is the perfectly titled blog started up by my cousin Rocky. The blog is devoted to anything remotely associated with Lotus Software, but Rocky somehow manages to include snippets of his hectic life in there to soften the blow. Like I mentioned earlier, he's written books on Lotus, like this one and this one. It doesn't surprise me that Rocky would be so completely immersed with computers. Back in high school, he was a member of the Computer Club, of which he tried to convince me to be a part of. I did try my best to get involved, but I wasn't digging all the code you had to put in just to make little square dots look like snow falling for a computerized snow scene. It was crazy. I was outta there.
So, uh... yeah, I wasn't kidding about the high geek factor in my family, was I? The cool thing about Amy and Rocky is they both know that they are geeks. They've come to terms with their geekiness, and now fully embrace it.
And I'm right there along with them.

thanks for the mention Ward! Now I must run to my blog and post about something highly intelligent, visually stunning, and full of witty remarks...ReplyDelete
Geeks! You're all GEEKS! Just kidding. I think it's about time that Ava and Ezra get their own blogs too!ReplyDelete
Not to mention that your dad started working in computer hardware in 1962, and developing software in 1975. It was really cool the first day we got the Internet on our computers in the office. I became the first webmaster in my department. The geeks don't fall far from the tree.ReplyDelete
You're so old, Dad! Just kidding. Say, when was that when you first got the internet at your office?ReplyDelete
And I was going to mention that it's funny how it's pretty much on the Jenkins' side where the geeks roam free.
James: what makes you think that they don't already? Hee hee....(they don't)!
True about the geeks in our family - maybe Jenkins should be changed to "Geekins"ReplyDelete
Think about it: You, me, Amy, Joe (Ward's dad) and Farley - all geeks. My mom (Joe and Farley's sis) is a math/accounting wiz.
I guess we get it honestly!
Oh, and thanks so much for the kind words - not sure about the "genius" label, but thanks anyway ;)
can i be in your family?ReplyDelete
