Three Phrases of the Game
To be a champion caliber team you must be consistent in all phrases of the game. We all know about Dallas's offense, Tony Romo with all his weapons, Barber and Jones's running attack behind our fantastic offensive line. The defense is getting more respect and recognition as they improve every week (not counting the Lions game.) Phrase three is Special teams. I don't feel like our kick return team gets the credit they deserve.
Miles Austin in his second year makes you sit on the edge of your seat every time he gets the ball. His long return is sixty yards. I just know he is going to break one all the way. Austin is averaging twenty-six yards on eighteen returns.
Tyson Thompson shows he is a talent with his return ability also. Tyson's average is a little lower than Austin's at twenty-three.six, but his long return is seventy-two yards.
I look forward to seeing rookie Isaiah Stanback come back from his injury. I have to agree with the Cowboy staff that Stanback is exciting to watch. His long kick return is thirty-five yards but he has only had three returns with a average of twenty-six yards.
Between these three and more recently Miles Austin, the Cowboys have had good field position on most possessions. Of course, it would be a dream come true if we only had punt returns meaning our defense didn't allow a score! WOW!
With Patrick Crayton and Terence Newman returning punts, we haven't had stunning returns but, they average twelve yards per return that equals our opponents. Even though we haven't returned a punt or kick return for a score with all the talent we have on special teams it will come. They are saving it for the playoffs!
Although special teams need to improve in some areas they show improvement each week just as the offense and defense.
What I respect about the 2007 Cowboys is the way coach Phillips has blended all three phases to work together as a team. The media and fans shine the light on certain players but, they know that it takes every player in the locker room to win and that is why we are the NFC East Champs!

Little Big Town Bring a 'Pontoon' to 2012 CMT Music Awards
Beach balls, bikinis and beer bottles … it must be Little Big Town and their new single, 'Pontoon.' The country music quartet brought a full-size boat to the stage of the 2012 CMT Music Awards, where they sang their latest single from the balcony of a pontoon boat as about two dozen hot bodies danced and partied below.
Karen Fairchild sings lead on the song, their first from an upcoming album. Kimberly Schlapman looked adorable in a yellow and black sundress, while Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet sang along and played guitar and mandolin in dark sunglasses. Without going overboard, the group created a believable beach scene — the perfect setting for the laid-back new single.
Kellie Pickler introduced the group, promising that they'd be "Motor boatin'." Thankfully, they weren't. There isn't room for that kind of insanity in the bowl of the Bridgestone Arena on Broadway in Nashville. The crowd immediately in front of the stage held beer coozies with the letters "L-B-T" in big block letters.
While Little Big Town played, artists like Jake Owen and Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley were seen thoroughly enjoying the performance. Many held coozies and cups full of their own concoction.

Approaching championship Sunday at Great Neck, looking back at a 'miraculous' summer
I play in a good number of CSGA senior events throughout the summer and I must say, the question most asked of me goes something like this: "I heard you folks were in trouble last year. How did it all work out?" It was no secret that the old NLCC was in financial trouble, as are so many other small, private clubs around the nation, and many of my fellow players were intrigued by the so-called "Great Neck Miracle," the sobriquet I use when telling the full story to them.
And make no mistake, the rise of Great Neck Country Club from the ashes of NLCC is nothing short of miraculous, an entirely unintended consequence of the fall of the first private club in the area.
I am happy to report that all is more than well at Great Neck. Dave and Ann Mortimer have poured more than their money into the new enterprise; they have embarked on a very large commitment to the people of this area and we members are the very fortunate recipients of a miracle none of us could ever have foreseen.
The Mortimers have decided to essentially rebuild the infrastructure of the club, pouring millions into the reconstruction of a restaurant that will now be open to the public and into a banquet facility that will rival the best in the area. Mortimer hired the highly respected Brian "Butch" Langley to make this all work, while patiently waiting for the construction to catch up to the enthusiasm. The new patio will be open in time for Club Championship Day on Sunday with the Mortimers hosting a cocktail party for the members following play. The restaurant is in the final stages of construction with an October target date for a "soft" opening.
The commitment to the golf course itself remains steadfast with Dave Mortimer himself promising top-flight conditions, especially as he comes to understand more about the nature of the game. All of this accrues to members at a $2,700 per season price point and that was the key to the huge upsurge in membership which has resulted in a full house with a waiting list, something no one, not even Mortimer, could have anticipated back in the dead of winter.
The formula isn't new. Keep the price of golf low so as to attract members; build attractive facilities that golfers and the public want to use; run the food end in such fashion as to be the profit center, enabling you to keep golf prices at an attractive rate. Simple enough. You just have to have the guts and cash to make it work. Will it work? As the Zenmaster said, "We'll see."
The early returns are very promising and perhaps the biggest test will come this winter when the issue of membership retention will be the club's focus. But for now, we are a group of very happy campers, playing a top golf course at a very reasonable rate. The miracle is that in February, most of us were in the doldrums, thinking we had played our last round at the venerable course and wondering if there was a golfing future for us.
The Great Neck Championship Day features a number of good matches. Sue Schmidtknecht takes on Sue Delpriore in a battle of former women's champions while the men's side will see someone crowned for the first time as Dave Gaccione takes on Eric Bergstrom. Eric swept aside your kindly old blogger in the round of eight. I played my heart out only to realize "nice try, you old goat, but this kid is waaaaaayyyyyyy better than you are." And nicer, too. Which makes the finals a battle of the really good guys to see who's the first Great Neck champ.
And speaking of finals. Scott Venditto, pride of theMontvillechapter of the Venditto clan, will be playing Ron Soccoli, Jr, he also of a famous athletic family, in the finals at the Black Hall Club. Scott advanced to the final by defeating Bill Hermanson, a feat of which Scott will grow prouder as each year passes. The list of players who have beaten Bill in a match of consequence is shorter than the list of highly respected Congressman. Psssst!! Keep this quiet. Scotty is my nephew.
And speaking of tournaments, lets make first mention of one of the biggest events of the year, the Senior Two-Ball at Great Neck Country Club. This is the fourth annual and it has always attracted one of the strongest fields in the state. Open to any amateur teams over the age of 55, the tourney is a one-day, 18-hole event in a better-ball format with a prize list that is the tops in the state during the golf season. The event has both a gross and net component and there is a guaranteed first prize of $1,000 per team in both the gross and net divisions. The tournament field has grown each year and it is advised you get your entry in early. The date of the tournament is Wednesday, Oct. 10. You can get more info by emailing me at firstname.lastname@example.com or by going to the Great Neck Country Club website at greatneckgolf.com
Every week I pick a playing partner everyone would love playing with along with a restaurant recommendation. This week's nominee is Tom "Binky" Bordner and we will be playing each other in the Super-Senior Finals at Great Neck. Binky was my first athletic hero when I was introduced to him 58 years ago. He was the star catcher for the VFW in the New London National Little League when I was a rookie 9-yr old. Ever smiling and generous with his encouragement, he went on to star at Waterford High and then on to a distinguished military career. He is still ever-smiling and generous, and still commands the respect of everyone who knows him. Some heroes never disappoint you.
And speaking of dinner, give Gaspar's a try. It's onBank StreetinNew Londonand I had a fabulous meal there recently with old friends Gil and Carol Shasha. Try the wienerschnitzel. Outstanding!

With republicans winning seats across the state, locals are debating how this could affect current issues.
With republicans winning seats across the state, locals are debating how this could affect current issues.
Andrew Gabbert, Oklahoma Baptist University senior, said he was not surprised so many republicans were elected.
"Oklahoma – that I have witnessed – is extremely conservative," Gabbert said.
This could cause issues, however, he added.
"I think that too often people tend to vote straight Republican or straight Democrat," Gabbert said.
As a first time voter, Gabbert said he did not vote on every question on the ballot.
"I think it's worse to vote just for the sake of voting, than to not vote because you don't know enough," he said.
Issues which will likely be discussed in state legislature include the Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare.
Dr. John Robinson, president of the State Medical Association and an M.D. in Shawnee, said the elections would likely not affect the Affordable Care Act.
"The act is already law," he said.
He added that repealing the act would require action by Congress and President Obama, which he believed would be unlikely.
Newly elected state officials may decide not to take the money, which puts hospitals in a position of being under funded, Robinson said.
However, the hospitals are not without issues if Oklahoma does take the federal funds, which come along with the Affordable Care Act, because there is a shortage of doctors in Oklahoma.
"There's not a good answer," Robinson said. "Either way we have a huge shortage of physicians in Oklahoma."
The law did have good points, however, he added.
"It's good that there's increased coverage," Robinson said.
He was reluctant to say what changes the law would bring to medicine.
"It's hard to say anything concrete, because so much is unknown," Robinson said.
Oklahoma State House Speaker Kris Steele, a Shawnee native, said he is proud of Justin Wood, who was elected to the District 26 seat.
Steele, who currently holds the seat, had reached his term limit under state law, and could not run again.
He added that Wood and Democratic candidate Patty Wagstaff both ran a "good campaign."
Steele said he expects Wood to do well in the House.
"I'm very impressed with Justin's sincerity," he said.
Steele said he doesn't expect Wood's age, or the age of other newly elected representatives, to be an issue.
"Justin will rely on and learn from the expertise of others," Steele said. "No one can do this alone."
There are benefits to having more experienced people and young people in politics together, he said.
"I think what makes this work well is collaboration," Steele said.
There are other benefits to having younger people involved in state politics.
"It energizes younger voters to be involved in the process," Steele added.
Steele recommended everyone in the House and Senate try to work together.
"Try to overcome the partisan politics that sometimes holds us back," he said.

Here's a bit of news that I've known about for some time, and have been eagerly anticipating sharing with you. Now that the "embargo" has been broken, here goes: Liturgical Press, one of the premier Catholic publishing houses, is launching a new daily prayer resource in August 2011, called Give Us This Day. It's something along the lines of Magnificat and Living with Christ, but with an unmistakable Liturgical Press twist. It's beautifully produced, resolutely mainstream, filled with marvelous features (morning and evening prayers, readings of the day, the prayers of the Mass, and more), grounded in a deep understanding of the liturgy and extremely helpful for any Catholic who wants a deeper prayer life. Now for full disclosure: I'm one of the "advisers" to the project; but frankly I'm just as excited about using it as I am about writing for it. (More full disclosure: I write for and enjoy using Living with Christ, too!) The liturgical blog PrayTell features an interview today with Mary Stommes, the editor of Give Us This Day, which begins as follows:
Pray Tell: LitPress is launching Give Us This Day this August. What is it? A daily devotional, a pocket missal, a Mass guide, or what?
Mary Stommes: The shortest and most accurate answer is that Give Us This Day is "Daily prayer for today's Catholic." In some ways, it is easier to say what Give Us This Day is not—or what it is more than. It is not just a Mass guide, and it is more than a daily devotional. Each month's issue contains the following daily content: prayers for morning and evening, Mass texts, a reflection, a Gospel witness. There is additional weekly and monthly content best described by taking a look inside the pages on our web site. Give Us This Day has the feel of a personal missal, but it is not your mother's St. Andrew's Missal (though I have my mother's missal and am fond of it).
PT: I see all the Mass readings and prayers for Sunday and weekday. But I know someone who worked on the new Order of Mass chants, and they're not included. Why not?
MS: You will have to introduce me to this Order-of-Mass-chants person. I would tell her that Give Us This Day, while including the Order of Mass and Lectionary texts for each day, is primarily for personal prayer. This is not to say it will not be used in prayer groups, etc., or that people will not use it as a Mass guide for convenience. But most readers, alas, will not be all that interested in chant. (Maybe it would be best not to tell this to the "Order-of-Mass-chants" person.)
PT: Who is Give Us This Day for? Would-be monks, hard-core Catholics, Catholics on the fringe, or who?
MS: All of the above. And more. There is a longing deep and wide for daily spiritual sustenance. We are a hungry people. We want to pray but often do so with fits and starts. We long for "substantive simplicity," if that makes sense. And we long for communion, with God and with each other. This deep desire, I think, is our response to God's desires for us. Lots of words to say that Give Us This Day is for those trying day-by-day to respond to God's love for us in Christ.
You can read the rest of the interview here; better yet, you can get an overview of this wonderful new resource at their website here.

Here Are Those 'Super Sweet 16′ Commercials Jennifer Lawrence Talked About [VIDEOS]
After her demure yet buzzworthy wardrobe malfunction last night at the SAG Awards, Best Actress winner Jennifer Lawrence thanked MTV for her first acting gig in commercials for the network's atrocious program, 'Super Sweet 16.'
And here they are.
Seems that at the ripe old age of 14, Lawrence was cast as a stuck-up party diva -- work that resulted in Jennifer finally getting a much-coveted SAG card. (Way to go, MTV! You've finally launched the career of someone with actual talent.)
J. Law may not have realized that name-checking the commercials in her SAG acceptance speech would make the internet scurry to find them, but indeed it did. In the clips, you'll see a younger J. Law tumble off a chaise lounge carried by some half-dressed men, and getting super indignant when a disco ball drops from above and splashes birthday cake all over her face.
Don't say we never did anything for you.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Manley was a prelude to "Meet the Breeds": Imagine being a little blind Boston Terrier, alone, wandering the streets on a rainy night. Imagine being scooped up by caring youths. Imagine then being delivered to the best of hands because of various breed rescues working together.
In this convoluted tale of compassion, Manley couldn't see but luckily a series of strangers saw him. This month I took a stray Afghan Hound puppy from Hempstead Shelter. The pup stayed at a LI kennel until she went to her Connecticut foster home. Even though the kennel owners Tracey and Don of Capulet Springers specialize in (and rescue) English Springer Spaniels, they are great friends to Afghan Rescue. Last year our crew from the New Mexico hoarder's 67 traumatized Afghans spent a week at this hospitable facility. What does this have to do with a blind Boston Terrier? Read on.
Tracey while in the midst of painting the English cottage scenery for the Springer booth at the upcoming AKC "Meet the Breeds, showed me the sightless dog that her young staff, Kalia and Alex, had just found in Wyandanch during an evening storm. Despite his horrendous, protruding eyes, this sweetie was content and loved belly rubs. His ears had that "bat" look of a French Bulldog so at first we were uncertain of his breed-Boston Terrier, more likely, yet we couldn't rule out Frenchie.
Now do I practice what I preach? Yes, all found dogs belong in town shelters so their owners have the best chance of reclaiming them. I constantly bark that, but this blind Boston/ Frenchie was secure in his new environment and Babylon Shelter had a full house. Plus it was easy for me to keep tabs on whether an owner had inquired at the shelter about such a specific pooch. I borrowed Babylon's scanner to make sure he wasn't microchipped. In the interim someone redeemed another Boston but no one came to the shelter for this pathetic pooch.
"Fran, is this guy a Frenchie or a Boston, and does FBRN help seniors", around midnight I sent this email and a few digital shots to my fellow Metropolitan Dog Club member Fran, quite active in the French Bulldog Rescue Network (FBRN) who in turn sent my request to her contacts for both breeds.
I didn't expect an immediate response. Early next morning Jane in Kingston, a nurse and volunteer for the North East Boston Terrier Rescue (NEBTR), called to say that he looked like a Boston but it didn't matter. She rarely fostered because her home is a one way door; yet his photos were so touching; she'd gladly take this guy. He had to get along with other dogs which we easily verified with one of the Springers. I offered to deliver him to "Meet the Breeds" in NYC but Jane came up with a better plan.
Although vision problems are common in all bulgy eye breeds, Manley's saga spread through the Yahoo rescue posts. He quickly had an unofficial fan club rooting for him. Most thought he was a Boston, but some said he could be a Frenchie. I got offers of help from Tara in NJ who rescues both, and from Tina in Orange County of Boxer Angels and Pug-Peke-Tzu Rescue who already had 3 blind dogs of her own. She explained how they led each other around like an elephant parade. Actually Tina had helped to place another Babylon Shelter Boston Terrier with a quadriplegic mouth painter in NJ last year. The dog world is so interconnected.
Jane arranged for a Syosset rescuer to pick the blind boy up at the kennel. She drove him to Cheryl the NEBTR president in Manhattan who remarked that he was a well-bred Boston. Go figure. How did he become so neglected? Cheryl brought him to Jane in Kingston.
The next night, Manley went to the vet who confirmed Jane's hunch of advanced glaucoma. The doctor determined he was between 6 to 10 years old, and that the pressure in the right eye was too painful. A week later, Manley had that eye removed and sutured shut. He was neutered while he was under. A specialist will decide if there is any vision that can be salvaged in the remaining eye. North East Boston Terrier Rescue (www.nebostonrescue.org) is providing for "the little man" just as the group does for all their needy Bostonians. Check out their site to view their "reasons for rescue".
Despite his lack of sight, Manley fit right in at Jane's house, settling as soon as he realized his bed was next to hers. He blends with her Bostons- Buster and Marilyn, and already knew to spin around and sit for a treat when he comes in. He's comfy and on some level senses he will never be put in harm's way again.
Earlier this month 36,000 pet lovers visited the 200 "Meet the Breeds" dog/cat booths in the Javits Center. Rescue stories were repeated everywhere. In a "Meet the Breeds" microcosm, Boston and Frenchie folks, as well as other breed reps there, knew all about the blind "little man". Manley doesn't need to know about his kind strangers or unofficial fan club. He merely needs to understand he is now loved and safe.

Santa is not the only one you telling you to be good for goodness sakes. In today's word, that is, in today's virtual, and real life panopticon, you have no other choice but to be good for the sake or yourself, your life, your job, etc. Your success as a human being depends on your good (or bad?) pubic, and well documented, behavior. Everyone is watching, everyone is judging.
"Be Good for Goodness Sake",a three-person show featuring works by Nathan Vincent, Iviva Olenick, and Kathy Halper at the Muriel Guepin Gallery in New York, explores ideas of surveillance and public performance in the age of the virtual panopticon (intagram, facebook, etc).
Taking its name from Vincent's large-scale work installed in the gallery, "Be Good for Goodness Sake" pushes audiences to question their stance on surveillance and privacy in the age of social media.
Nathan Vincent's six-foot crocheted doily acts as Big Brother and it invites the spectators to to sit on a bench flanked by security cameras, while Kathy Halper and Iviva Olenick create embroideries that question the psychosocial impacts of intimate over-sharing via social media. Inspired by her own Facebook feed, Olenick uses embroidery and watercolor to render her own "selfies" and portraits of others. Halper's work similarly questions the disappearing space between public and private online through embroidered drawings of found images from teens' Twitter and Facebook accounts.
The exhibition, "Be Good for Goodness Sake" will be on view at the Muriel Guepin Gallery in New York until January 19th, 2014.

Cabin-Style Suites Above Massive Indoor Water Park
High above Fort Mackenzie—a four-story waterlogged treehouse that feels like it could be a part of Swiss Family Robinson or Pirates of the Caribbean—a 1,000-gallon bucket slowly fills with water. Suddenly, the big bucket topples, drenching those gathered below in a torrent of water. Heated to a balmy 84 degrees, Great Wolf Lodge Pocono Mountains' indoor water park and its more than 10 splash-filled attractions draw visitors looking for an aquatic getaway no matter the season. In addition to braving Fort Mackenzie, you can crash into 3-foot waves at Slap Tail Pond and careen down a 450-degree hairpin turn at Double Barrel Drop.
The 79,000-square-foot water park is merely one of many activities at the hotel's entertainment campus. During the MagiQuest live-action adventure, kids wield magic wands and journey through a kingdom to meet mythical creatures, including a pixie and a dragon. Scooops Kid Spa gives manicures and pedicures to pintsize patrons sitting atop ice-cream-cone stools and banana-split thrones—free ice cream completes each visit.
Six vacationers can comfortably sleep in a Loft suite or Majestic Bear suite. Each suite includes a private balcony.
Scotrun, Pennsylvania: Skiing and Quaint Shops in the Pocono Mountains
Scotrun, Pennsylvania, sits in the mountainous region of eastern Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, which boasts a diverse landscape of lakes, rivers, and green, forested hillsides. Take a scenic 20-minute drive from the hotel to Big Pocono State Park for a bit of outdoor adventure and a breathtaking view of Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. Its 1,300 acres surround Camelback Mountain, creating a natural playground for skiing or hiking pine-fringed trails rife with deer, coyotes, and wild turkeys.
For souvenirs, head just outside Big Poconos to Tannersville, where you can browse brand-name clothing at The Crossings Premium Outlets, which features more than a hundred retailers. At Peddler's Village, vendors set up shop in three old-fashioned red barns to sell vintage toys, handcrafted jewelry, rare coins, and antique furniture.

Which method of viewing music should I use?
Score Exchange has two methods to display previews of music: seView which uses regular html and javascipt and the Scorch plug-in from Avid which needs to be downloaded and installed onto your computer. Both have advantages and disadvantages:
You do not need to install any additional software to use seView.
Scorch is a free plug-in from Avid for displaying and printing music. It can also play the music that you're seeing. As modern web browsers are updated, Scorch is no longer compatible with many browsers. Scorch has never been compatible with mobile devices and some web browsers on Mac computers.
If your web browser does not install Scorch automatically, you can click here to download and install scorch manually.
Static preview
The static preview shows a basic image of the first page.
Interactive preview
The interactive preview also shows a preview of the first page, but it's a bit slower to load. The preview is displayed using the Sibelius Cloud Publishing technology from Avid. With most scores, this technology will provide a higher quality preview, as well as being able to switch to full screen mode and also play the displayed music to you.
Printing after purchase
After you have purchased this item the Cloud Publishing technology is utilised to provide the printing mechanism for the music. As such, we recommend checking that the Interactive Preview displays correctly on your device before committing to a purchase.

The Mixed Abilities School Ensemble Series
Children (and adults) who learn a musical instrument will always progress at different rates. Students also develop some of the many skills involved in instrumental playing faster than other skills.
The Mixed Abilities School Ensemble Series has the flexibility to allow pupils of different standards to play together in one ensemble (up to five parts). It also encourages students to develop improvisation skills by providing soloing opportunities within all parts, with suggested pitches for improvising.
Each piece has five different parts which are split into four ability levels as follows:
A – Range of about 5 notes, easy rhythms. B – Range of about 1 octave, basic rhythms. C – Range of about a 12th, some more difficult rhythms. D – Range of about 2 octaves, some rhythmic complexity.
This enables the teacher to select parts which are suitable for the standard of individual players in the group. As a general rule, the pieces have been composed as follows:
Part 1 – melody / countermelody (alternates with Part 2) Part 2 – melody / countermelody (alternates with Part 1) Part 3 – accompaniment (synchronises with Part 4) Part 4 – accompaniment (synchronises with Part 3) Part 5 – bass line (independent)
Each part also comes in a huge array of transpositions, clefs and pitches. Hence, almost any combination of instruments can play together in an ensemble of mixed abilities, including:
Flutes, clarinets, saxophones, mixed woodwind, trumpets, mixed brass (including brass band), violins, strings, keyboards/pianos, tuned percussion.
An ensemble using any combination of instruments (as is often found within schools) will work effectively as well.
Example: A quintet might be selected as follows:
1A (violin), 2C (trumpet), 3B (clarinet), 4B (tenor sax), 5D (trombone)
The melody in 1A would be very simple but would contrast nicely when passed to the more difficult 2C. Parts 3B and 4B will have quite a simple accompaniment between them, whilst the bass line on 5D will be more complex and rhythmically interesting. Parts can obviously be doubled up as well beyond five players.
Please note that the teacher of the ensemble should be careful to pick parts which are well-suited to the players' abilities.
BANANA BLUES is the first piece in this series, and follows a traditional 12-bar blues form.
Please listen to the mp3 file, which is an electronic example of the piece being played by 3 trumpets, one trombone and one tuba, using parts 1C, 2B, 3B, 4A and 5C.
For anything not permitted by the above licence then you should contact the publisher first to obtain permission.

NBC's David Gregory reports that President Obama will announce tonight that Osama bin Laden has been killed.
*** UPDATE *** This is the result of a U.S. action in Pakistan, killed by U.S. personnel, and that the United States has bin Laden's body. NBC's Savannah Guthrie reports, it was not a drone strike that killed bin Laden, it was "recent" Special Ops operation in Pakistan.
*** UPDATE 2 *** This is, by the way, the eighth anniversary of President Bush's 2003 speech on an aircraft carrier with the banner, "Mission Accomplished" behind him.
*** UPDATE 3 *** NBC's Shawna Thomas reports: CIA Director Leon Panetta called ranking Member of the Intel Committee Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD). Chairman of the House Intel Commitee, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-CA) is on a red-eye flight back to DC.
*** UPDATE 4 *** NBC's Mike Viqueira reports that the president called House Speaker Boehner personally to inform him. NBC's Kelly O'Donnell reports that Boehner says he will hold all comment until after the president speaks.
*** UPDATE 5 *** NBC's Athena Jones reports that a crowd has begun to gather in front of the White House. There are about 50 people out there and it seems to be growing. They're shouting and rejoicing and just finished singing the Star Spangled Banner. They erupted in applause afterwards. They're now chanting U-S-A. They had begun to sing, "We Are the Champions" and more people were running up. There is at least one police car parked next to the group.
*** UPDATE 6 *** WNBC's Jonathan Dienst reports that the New York Police Department will be ramping up security measures across the city as a precaution given the news Bin Laden has been killed, according to Paul Browne, an NYPD spokesman.

Hear a concert live Friday at 12noon ET from WXPN and NPR Music
Broadcast live Fridays from the stage at World Cafe Live
Doughty began his solo career in the nineties, and self-released Skittish in 1996, originally selling it on CD-Rs after small shows he played around the country. His hard work and determination paid off and Doughty began to develop his own following. In 2005, he released Haughty Melodic with his full band, and the song, "Looking At The World From The Bottom of a Well" got a lot of airplay. The album was an XPN Featured Album in June of that year and made no. 14 on the XPN Year In Review. Several of his songs have been featured on television shows - his other well known songs include "27 Jennifers" (from Golden Delicious) and "Busting up a Starbucks," (from Gratified). His latest album, Yes and Also Yes, follows closely on the heels of his electronic sampler, Dubious Luxury which was released earlier this year. Yes and Also Yes was released in August on ATO.
Mike Doughty and his band played the XPoNential Music Festival in 2005, and we are excited to have him back on stage at WXPN and World Cafe Live for our next Free At Noon show.

Rascal Flatts, 'Come Wake Me Up' – Song Review
When he's on, few vocalists commit to an emotion quite like Rascal Flatts' Gary LeVox. The singer will recklessly throw himself into love, heartbreak or desperation. 'Come Wake Me Up,' the new single from 'Changed,' is another fine example of how this trio continues to work at a level few country artists are aware of.
The ballad begins quietly, with a soft piano and LeVox singing at little more than a whisper. Even the first chorus is muted in comparison to the song's cathartic close. "Turn the TV up loud just to drown out your voice, but I can't forget / Now I'm all out of ideas and baby I'm down to my last cigarette," he sings to begin the second verse. "Yeah, you're probably asleep deep inside of your dreams / While I'm sitting here crying and trying to see / Yeah, wherever you are baby / Now I am sure you moved on and aren't thinking twice about me and you tonight."
A perfect Rascal Flatts song is easy to fall into, but not so easy that it relies on banal metaphors or country cliches. 'Come Wake Me Up' is certainly a familiar story, but it's an original emotion and voice that will immediately connect with fans, especially those going through a difficult breakup. The trio simply soars above the mini-orchestra that marks the climax. It takes a few deep breathes to come down from this drama.
"Tonight your memory burns like a fire / With everyone it grows higher and higher / And I can't get over it, I just can't put out this love / I just sit in these flames and pray that you'll come back / Close my eyes tightly, hold on and hope that I'm dreaming / Come wake me up," they harmonize during each chorus. The performance overflows with sincerity.
'Come Wake Me Up' is easily the Flatts' best ballad since 'Here Comes Goodbye.' It's slightly less effective than 'What Hurts the Most' — a song that could be considered their career song — and is among the highlights on 'Changed.'

More than 500 people were killed in Syria during what had been proposed as a four-day ceasefire to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. The truce never took hold as fighting continued even as humanitarian agencies struggled to deliver relief to those trapped by the conflict. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Syrian warplanes struck a rebel-held town on the Damascus-Aleppo highway and that fighting continued in a Palestinian refugee camp near Damascus. Heavy fighting around the Syrian city of Homs prevented a U.N. aid mission from delivering food and other relief items to families trapped in the city. "All parties on the ground contacted in advance of the mission expressed in principle willingness to allow aid through the front lines," said a U.N. spokesperson. "However, immediate delivery was prevented by active conflict and logistical complications, such as lack of safe location to off-load the goods."

Aplix vs. Snaps
Everything worked great for many months until I began having problems with the laundry tabs not sticking – thus the problem of a diaper train being pulled from the dryer. I now know that you can purchase replacement tabs directly from the manufacturer, but if you're not a seamstress, and I am not, they aren't easy to replace. Instead, I simply attached the tabs to the front of the diaper, and turned it inside out to wash – problem solved.
Other Aplix diapers that I have used did not have this problem, such as my Blueberry Minky diapers for example. The Aplix on these diapers is like glue and on some occasions I've actually had a tough time unhooking it at changing time. I believe these are the only Aplix diapers that I ever owned that my boys never were able to take off by themselves.
With the exception of the FuzziBunz Perfect Size pocket diapers that my oldest son wore at the end of his diapering days, I did not add snap closure diapers to Brendan's stash until a little over a year ago. My first snapped diaper purchase was a bumGenius Organic All-in-One One Size diaper. I really liked the snap closure and no matter how he tried, Brendan could not get the diaper off. Sadly, this diaper didn't work well for us for long due to Brendan being a heavy wetter and the diaper's inability to stand up to his diapering needs. I can't tell you how many times I wished bumGenius would make their pocket diaper with snap closures!
Today, most of my fluff stash is made up of snap closure diapers. I have even converted several of my bumGenius pocket diapers to have snaps. I wrote about this a while back in the Making an Old Diaper Like New post. Now that Brendan can easily remove most Aplix diapers, I have found snap closures works best of us these days. He can still remove several of his diaper covers, but as long as he can't remove the diaper itself, I'm not too worried about it.
When it comes to deciding between Aplix and snaps for a diaper, it really is a personal decision that can change as diapering needs change. I'm glad that I have had both styles available to me, and both have been my favorite at one time or another in my cloth diapering days.

What a great post. I'll have to remember the conversion idea, and have my pregnant little sis read this post as she decides which diapers to get. Thanks for the reviews and opinions!

I agree with you... it is a personal preference! My husband tends to grab the BG 3.0's with velcro. My favorite dipes are Rumparooz with snaps. I hate how the velcro wears and pills. My 2 year old takes off all his dipes with velcro and he can't take his snap dipes off! I love the way my diapers with snaps hold up so well and look like new, when my velcro diapers do NOT look anything like new, when they are about the same age as my snaps diapers! I am a snaps girl but I understand why people like the ease of velcro. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the topic!

I really like this post. I love my Bumgenius Aio's but I so wish they came with snaps. My little guy, just cant resist pulling at the velcro. I have been awoken by the sound of him peeing on the wall,or waking himself up cause he peein his own face! yeah I'm not kidding.LOl. Velcro is fast and easy but snaps are so relaible.

I find snaps more challenging on my one-year old twins. It seems it takes my hubby and I longer to get the diapers snapped and situated on toddlers that want to go go go! I want to like snaps, and when I do get the ones I have on the kids, they work well, but I normally reach for my velco diapers because I know I can put them on faster.

I one thousand times agree that bum genius needs to offer their 3.0with snaps!!! I keep hoping! If they did that and added some more great colors they would be, in my opinion, THE perfect diaper.

Just today DH said about my flip cover with snaps: "I hope he's not graduating to these diapers full-time...they have more buttons than an airplane cockpit.
I like it for how it fits him right now and the harder-to-take-off-ness. I used all velcro when he was little and liked that best. Now I like a mix.

we love our bg3.0 pockets! the velcro on them has worn a little but for the most part, they still have a pretty good stick to them. i'm wondering if the type of washer affects their "stickiness." we use a front loader and have only had a couple occasions in which we had a stray velcro tab undone and stick to other diapers. i'm really hoping the velcro will last before needing repair. our daughter is 9 months and i'm hoping not to have to repair until she's done potty learning and we have another baby. =)

Snaps, ALL THE WAY. I started with velcro on both of my newborns but as soon as we were out of the tiny diapers I said good riddance to the aplix.
I recently invested in bumgenius AIOs and like you, converted them to snaps. I quickly forgot that they had even had aplix until I ordered a new one and found myself confused when I removed it from the polymailer.
I guess my point is, never be afraid to try a new brand or style just because you don't like the aplix. That can be changed out to snaps.

I still haven't decided which I prefer! I really love how easy it is to get a good fit on my baby with Aplix. My husband definitely prefers our BumGenius 3.0s because of Aplix. I however hate how quickly the tabs fray and collect tiny dog hairs in the wash. Ugh! My babysitter has an easier time with Aplix. I think she is afraid of making the diaper too tight. If I send her snaps they come home snapped at the biggest settings, lol. I have a skinny 3.5 month old in OS diapers and I still have her on the smallest snaps.

I never considered a toddler that could undo the Velcro. We potty train pretty early around here so that might not be an issue. But this posting certainly makes me think that when I get some bigger sizes I should consider snaps instead. Thank you.

I LOVE snaps! Where did you get a leopard CD from? I would love to find a AIO like that!

I have a mix and like both, but my dryer does NOT like snaps. I've now had 2 BG organic all in ones (now called elementals) become unusable because the fastening snaps on one of the wings got caught and then either broken or melted. (We've lost a couple snapping bibs, too.) You mentioned that you converted some of your velcro diapers to snaps... did you do it yourself, or know someone who might be able to replace snaps? Thanks!

It looks like a sales contract for the forthcoming Aston Martin One-77 has leaked, bringing with it details of the price, performance and specifications, as well as two new teaser shots. With 700 HP, 553 lb-ft of torque, a 3,300-pound curb weight and a limited run of only 77 units, the One-77 certainly looks like it'll be a special car. But can it justify the astronomical, nearly $1.9 million price? The One-77 will be available in either left- or right-hand drive, has only two seats, uses a carbon monocoque chassis with hand-worked aluminum body panels, active aerodynamics (including deployable spoiler), carbon ceramic brakes and a six-speed automated manual transmission. The engine will be a naturally aspirated 7.3-liter V12, allowing the car to reach 60 in the mid three-second range and top out just north of 200mph. That all sounds great, but what does the One-77 offer (other than good looks) that, say, a $480,000 Mercedes SLR McLaren 722 doesn't, and for a fraction of the price? Wow, we never thought we'd ask that. Take a look at the contract and let us know if you spot something in there that's worth $1.3 million. Us? We're still saving for a ZR1.

Historians Praise Morillo's Bookby Steve Charles • December 7, 2013 Share:
Wabash History Professor Stephen Morillo is rarely at a loss for words, but the History Channel contributor and chair of the College's social sciences division was speechless Thursday when his colleague Rick Warner announced his decision to switch textbooks next year—to Morillo's new book, Frameworks of World History.
"This book is going to have a big impact because it is completely different than the other narratives in world history," Warner told faculty, staff, and students packed into Rogge Lounge to celebrate the volume's publication. "It will teach in a way that other books don't, and it's more proof that Wabash College offers quintessential liberal arts teaching in world history."
Warner won't be the only professor switching to Morillo's text. The book frames the study of world history around a model that shows students how to do world history. Professors across the country are taking notice.
"Morillo is more than a professor or a scholar; he is a teacher-author," writes Brigham Young University Professor Evan Ward. "He not only uses a tight methodology and model for examining world civilizations, but offers students a running lesson in historical method."
"Frameworks is impressive," writes University of West Georgia Professor Nadejda Popov. "The author's dedication to involve a global approach in every single chapter of the book is humbling—I honestly did not think that this could be done! I love that it is truly interdisciplinary and that each chapter is global in scope."
As part of the package, Oxford is also publishing in January 2014 Sources for Frameworks of World History, a new sourcebook co-authored by Lynne Miles-Morillo and Morillo, and the online Instructor Resource Manual for the textbook was also written by Miles-Morillo.
Morillo thanked students present at the reception as "representatives for 23 years of Wabash students who have seriously contributed to the development of this book by taking world history from me and making suggestions and thinking along with me about world history."
He also thanked colleagues in the history department, particularly Warner and Professor Michelle Rhoades, noting how conversations over the years with both of them had shaped the text. He also reminded guests that Warner had just been chosen president-elect of the World History Association.
Warner, a former professional cook, prepared the food for the reception, shaping it as triangles and connecting each plate with string to represent the hierarchies and networks Morillo describes in his book.
Morillo also thanked his wife, Professor Lynne Miles-Morillo, who chose more than half the photographs in the book, co-authored the sourcebook, and created the online instructor resource manual.
"I no longer refer to this as my book, but as our book, because she has been there in every step and the finished product reflects a lot of her influence," Morillo said. "I can tell you I tell you that I've been teaching world history for 25 years and I'm teaching it differently this year because of that online resource manual—it's a real good one."
Concluding his remarks, Morillo turned to the table of food Warner had prepared in his honor and announced that "this world of cultural history and hierarchy and networks is ready to be consumed."
Frameworks of World History is published by the Oxford University Press.

The entire Massachusetts delegation is backing Gov. Deval Patrick's effort to have the federal Small Business Administration provide economic assistance to fishermen through the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program.
The entire Massachusetts delegation is backing Gov. Deval Patrick's effort to have the federal Small Business Administration provide economic assistance to fishermen through the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program.
A letter dated Monday and signed by both Massachusetts senators and eight congressmen says: "Our fishermen and fishing-related businesses need SBA assistance as they work to adjust to a perfect storm of events that threatens the future one of our nation's oldest and most storied industries and the coastal communities that depend on it."
Significant cuts in the amounts of groundfish that Northeastern fishermen may catch and other harsh economic factors have driven many fishermen out of the business and significantly threaten those who remain, the lawmakers said.
Sen. Ed Markey, who coordinated the efforts of his colleagues, said: "Fishermen need help, and these small business loans are another way to get them financial assistance that will actually keep their businesses afloat. Massachusetts' lawmakers in Washington are united in our efforts to get fishermen the respect and the assistance they deserve."
Earlier this month, Patrick officially certified to the SBA that Massachusetts fishermen had suffered "substantial economic injury" in seeking assistance through the loan program.
Meanwhile, still bottled up in Congress is direct disaster assistance to fishermen — in the form of grants, not loans — something Sen. Elizabeth Warren said would provide more valuable assistance.
"SBA assistance is something the fishing industry has asked for, and it will help ease some of the economic hardships facing our fishermen," she said. "But loans will have a limited impact, and it is important to do more to make sure all our fishermen get the critical disaster aid they need."
Last year, the Department of Commerce declared a fishery disaster for the Northeast, but Republicans in the House blocked a $150 million appropriation.
The Senate authorized the $150 million in an appropriations bill earlier this year, but that has not yet been considered by the House as Republicans and Democrats fight over the federal debt ceiling.
"For over one year, House Republicans have blocked repeated attempts to provide New England's fishing community with federal disaster assistance," Rep. William Keating said. "While this essential aid remains tied up in inexcusable partisan gridlock, our fishermen and support industries continue to struggle. I am committed to providing this much-needed assistance as we look toward smarter policies that will prevent future uncertainties and protect this historic industry."


text: In order to combat better-supplied American and South Vietnamese forces during the Vietnam War, Communist guerrilla troops known as Viet Cong (VC) dug tens of thousands of miles of tunnels, including an extensive network running underneath the Cu Chi district northwest of Saigon. Soldiers used these underground routes to house troops, transport communications and supplies, lay booby traps and mount surprise attacks, after which they could disappear underground to safety. To combat these guerrilla tactics, U.S. and South Vietnamese forces trained soldiers known as "tunnel rats" to navigate the tunnels in order to detect booby traps and enemy troop presence. Now part of a Vietnam War memorial park in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), the Cu Chi tunnels have become a popular tourist attraction.

Before I even started Linda Hogan's Wrestling The Hulk: My Life Against The Ropes, I made a note that I was hesitant to jump in, knowing that it was going to get dirty. And it did. After reading the autobiography, you will know more than you ever wanted to know about Hulk Hogan's sex life -- and Linda's.
It wasn't so bad that I needed to put the book down and go wash, but there were moments where I shuddered.
Still, I will say that Wrestling The Hulk is far better than it has any right to be, especially given that it is as much a self-help/amateur shrink book to help with signs of infidelity as it is a recounting of Linda's life. (And there are recipes too!)
It's refreshing to hear from the spouse of a pro wrestler; Barbara Goodish, Bruiser Brody's widow, probably had the best previous book from that perspective, with Martha Hart and Diana Hart a step or two down.
As a wrestling fan, writing for a wrestling site, the book falls short, however. For example, just as she is revealing some interesting tidbits about behind the scenes at the first WrestleMania, the narrative jumps two years later to the massive third Mania at the Pontiac Silverdome. I wish she'd written another couple of pages about their wedding alone, and the wrestling elite that were there and ran up a ridiculously huge bar bill.
Aside from Brutus Beefcake, we don't get any insight into any of Hogan's regular cronies -- imagine, Hulk Hogan without Jimmy Hart, Eric Bischoff or the Nasty Boys.
I tried not to take offence to the slights. Apparently, before Vince McMahon came along with his expanding World Wrestling Federation, wrestling had just been in "small, dingy, dimly lit no-name arenas with fifty to one hundred people in the audience." (Bruno Sammartino, with your many sellouts of that "no-name" Madison Square Garden, we have a new foe for you!)
But Linda's insight into the actual growth of the WWF was quite interesting, hearing how Hulk and Vince plotted out things together, as peers rather than employee and boss.
Likewise, she describes how the Hogan heel turn in WCW affected her husband.
On a few occasions, she addresses the drugs, like cocaine, steroids and pain pills, that make up the wrestling life, but she isn't judgmental and just sort of mentions them.
It's a fine line she is forced to walk, and I recognize that.
On one hand, she is famous only through her marriage to Terry Bollea, a.k.a. Hulk Hogan, and their subsequent VH1 TV show, Hogan Knows Best. Detailing how they met, how their marriage worked -- and eventually didn't -- and their two children is pretty straightforward stuff, and it won't shake anyone's world.
There was a decent look into the TV show, how it came about, was shot and changed their lives. If you are hunting for details on Brooke Hogan's singing career and the Nick Hogan accident where he crippled his best friend, though, I'd suggest getting Hulk Hogan: My Life Outside the Ring instead.
But a big part of Linda's writing comes off as defensive.
"I was not the gold-digging type," she writes early in the book, despite what barbs her ex-husband flung in the media during divorce proceedings.
"I was more than a wife; I was a mom, friend, adviser, housekeeper, party planner, sex goddess, chief cook, and bottle washer," she lists later.
Her central theme is that Hulk Hogan was a narcissist and a philanderer, which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone familiar with the sports or entertainment world.
So Wrestling The Hulk: My Life Against The Ropes won't change the world, but it does offer a decent counterbalance to the Hulk-heavy world we live in.

Talk:Funtoo Newsletter/Communication
Yeah, I mean a Funtoo Monthly News or even a Funtoo Weekly News is a really good idea.
And again, it will demonstrate that Funtoo is proactive and can handle new project without a council and that's really a good thing since Gentoo is going anywhere.
I also plan to translate the Funtoo Monthly News in French if we decide to go in that direction.

It's 10:17 p.m. and I just got home from the shop. I got there about 9:15 a.m. - a long day by my standards but there was a time when my days at the shop were often this long or longer. When I still was working out of my garage and didn't have the array of machinery that I now am lucky to posess I would work long into the night, brazing frames together. I was so slow that it took me a week what I can now do in a day. This necessitated marathon work days that could go from 8:30 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. . I remember one night with the torch in my hand looking at the thermometer in my unheated garage one winter night. The thermometer read 28 degrees......I thought that the next time my dad would tell me about bad working conditions that he had endured I would tell him about this night. There was a difference, though....my dad was working a job he didn't like-I chose this job and here I was, reveling in how much it sucked. I could complain about how long the hours were and how low the pay was and the fact that the shop was filthy, unheated and not altogether pleasant.....trouble is I was a victim of myself. While I remain dedicated to what I'm doing still , I can spend the hours, answer the emails and phone calls , think that I'm doing a great job...then I remember-I have a repair hanging above my bench that has been there 11 months. What about that handlebar stem I promised earlier this year that never got built ? How about the bike shows I had to miss because I didn't want to interupt my work routine ? Or today....a brilliant blue sky that I didn't hardly bother to look at because I had so much work laid out for the day ? Or the many bike rides I missed because I was building.................Bikes ?!? This line of work demands that one be present and accounted for. A lot of work does but when you are a one-person operation the pressure to be there is substantial. I have no children. I'm not going to ever have children....nobody to continue the insanity I started, my bike framebuilding buisness. The bikes are my children.....hundereds of them. Some day ,maybe thousands -if I keep at it another ten or fifteen years. I had somebody ask me " How do you keep doing the same thing every day ? Don't you ever want to try something else ? " The truth is that it's not the same thing every day....it changes, challenges, infuriates , trancends , evolves , falls apart , redeems , repels , flounders, defeats , reveals , mystifies , becons. If this weren't the case , a lot less people would want to try it. Once tried , the test will go on and on and one's presence and focus will be the difference between being on the outside or being immersed in the craft . It isn't about arriving somewhere or attaining something-it's about maintaining something. Its work-it goes on only as long as you are willing to be there.

Well.....what can I say, but if you read the first part....here....I thought this would take a couple of weeks - I was wrong.
However, the book I was dreading is finally done. I say dreading because of the state of the pages i was given.
The previous temporary Rose Seder binding had been stuffed with pages, all glued in in-properly cockled, boards glued to pages, all of the margins ignored!, and just a bit of mess really.
First it had to be broken up, and those folds that could were sewn on stubbs. Pages that were not folds were gaurded, the boards were removed and some beautiful caligraphy was reframed using more appropriate paper and japanese tissue. Pages were joined into folds, and sewn onto stubbs, and some artwork that had been very poorly glued in were removed, carefully seperated and remounted on the appropriate paper.
All of this was rather nerve racking because all the artwork inside is completely original and irreplaceable, so...slowly slowly.
The signatures had to be individually gilded as there were many parts that needed gaurding compensation , were of different sizes, thickness, and as I mentioned before, some leaves were laminated to museum board , so doing it all at once was not an option....bad news for me, and for my gold.
We haven't even got to the binding yet.....a stubb binding, so all stubbs are sewn using an unsupported french link. Because of the size of the book(15x12x2) I knew I was probably going to have to split the binding up into 3 parts, as I wanted to use goat, and there aren't many skins about in a 1st quality large enough to do the whole thing in one go. Besides, I think it worked better that way.
The spine was covered and head caps made in the normal manner, the boards made up, lined and covered , and only turned-in along the spine edge.
I made several designs on paper, all were variations on circular straight line tooled patterns, chose the simplest( and best i think!). Have it on hand and ready to go before you cover, that way your blind tooled lines will go a lot better.
The gold work took 2 days, 1 board a day, then they were attached and turned-in.
As you can see a leather joint was put in, in the french manner, and doublure of white calfskin could be inlaid.
Further tooling around the edges of the doublure was completed, and finally a goatskin suede laid down on the fly and trimmed.
After some simple tooling on the spine, a box was constructed with one my favorite additions of an outer wall along the trays.
The Rose Seder books will be on display at the NYPL from April 3rd to the 22nd for Passover, although possibly not this one, but they are worth a look - this is the forth.
But I'm back.......and badder than ever!

Helpfulnessprevious next
Helpfulness means trying to make life a little easier for other people. If we are paying attention, we notice when someone else is struggling –to open a door, to complete a task, or even to go through the dying process with grace and dignity. We move instinctively to ease the struggle – lending ourselves whether for a moment or a lifetime to serve their purpose.
If we look around us, we become aware how much of the substance and beauty people are able to create depends on helping hands. Like generosity, helping is a gift that gives to the giver. Sometimes we receive help in turn from those we assisted; even more often our helpfuness ripples through the world as other people spontaneously pay it forward.
