Kelly Loft, MBA's President said, "It is long overdue for Marshall to recognize those individuals who have played, organized, and sponsored 'the great game of baseball' in the community of Marshall."
Each of these individuals has served Marshall baseball with passion, commitment and has brought recognition to the game we all love.
The inaugural 2015 class was inducted during a ceremony on May 29, 2015.
|Lionel Bolden (2016) - Bolden was a long-time player for the Marshall A's in the 1970s and 80s leading the squad to several state tournament appearances. Following his career he was an active volunteer of Marshall baseball serving in various roles. He arrived in Marshall in the early 1970s and played both football and baseball at Southwest Minnesota State. He was a two-time all-conference honoree in baseball and was inducted into the SMSU Athletics Hall of Honor in 1994.
|Dean Champine (2016) - Champine was dominant force for the A's—and later the Marshall Giants—for 19 years. One of the most feared pitchers in the state, Champine lead the A's to 14 state tournament appearances in the 1970s and 80s. He was also an outstanding hitter for the A's, playing outfield, first base and DH. In the handful of years the A's failed to make the state tournament, Champine was drafted by other teams and pitched for them in the state tournament. Champine came to Marshall in the early 1970s, pitching two seasons at Southwest Minnesota State and was named all-conference in 1973.
|Jim Culhane (2018) - Baseball has always been a big part of Culhane's life, first as a player and later as a coach. He spent many years playing for the various Marshall teams, including joining the A's in the summer of 1965. After 10 years as Head Baseball Coach at Tracy High School, Culhane returned to Marshall. He coached the Marshall Blue, Orange and Red teams from 1995 until 2005, leading them to four state tournament appearances. Culhane also coached and scheduled 7th-8th grade teams in the Spring from 1995-2002. He was involved in the beginnings of MAYBA and continued as the scheduler for Blue and Orange until 2013. He also spent several yars as the 10-14 year old coach within MAYBA. One of Culhane's career highlights was being able to coach with his son Sean on the Marshall Orange.
|Dale Erickson (2018) - Life in the Erickson household revolved around baseball. Dale was involved in all aspects of Marshall baseball. He was a founding member of the Marshall Area Youth Baseball Association (MAYBA) in 1995. He was also the district VFW baseball coordinator for 12 years. In that time he helped Marshall host 2 state tournaments. Dale spent many years on the Marshall Baseball Association board and served as the Gambling Manager for their charitable gambling operation. Besides baseball, Dale was the Head Wheelchair Basketball coach at SMSU for 9 seasons, leading them to a final four appearance where they finished as national runner-up. On any given night you could find Dale at the ball field, cheering on Marshall Baseball. Dale was first and foremost a family man and passed his love of baseball onto his family.
|Mike Gort (2016) - Mike has played a significant role in the organization of all levels of Marshall Baseball, including the A's, the American Legion and VFW teams. Mike has been around Marshall baseball for more than 40 years, starting as a player for the A's, before becoming manager in the late 1970s. Following his A's career, he coached Legion baseball in Marshall and later served as co-chair of the 1989 Minnesota State Amateur Baseball Tournament hosted by Marshall. Gort was a longtime umpire in the area and was active involved with American Legion baseball serving as tournament director in many regional tournaments. He was inducted into the Minnesota American Legion State Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016.
|Ron Halgerson (2017) - Ron was a dominant force on the mound for the A's from 1975-92. He was part of 12 state tournament teams during his 18 year career and is considered by many to be among the best pitchers to ever put on an A's uniform. Ron also served as pitching coach for Southwest State University from 1986-95 and taught many young pitchers proper mechanics at MAYBA clinics throughout the years.
|Dallas Kluksdal (2017) - Dallas served as A's manager from 1980-83 and then Giants manager in 1989. He directed his A's teams to a state tournament berth in all four seasons he managed. Dallas also served on the Marshall Baseball Association board for over 20 years, and was a key part in helping bring the Minnesota State Amateur Baseball Tournament to Marshall in both 1989 and 1999.
|Lawrence "Larry" Knigge (2015) - Longtime umpire and secretary/treasurer of the Southwest Umpires Association. Served as manager of Ghent baseball team from 1956-60 and then as president of the Southwest Minny League for 20 years. Umpired 13 state tournaments and was inducted into Minnesota Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974. Commonly referred to as "Marshall's Mr. Baseball", Larry dedicated more than 70 years of his life to the game and played a big role in bringing two state tournaments to Marshall during the 1980's.
|Jerry Krause (2015) - First A's manager. Instrumental in restarting the A's team after it had previously folded. Jerry was a respected, trusted, and well-liked businessman in downtown Marshall and had a connection to a number of baseball supporters. It was through those many contacts that would help in the revitalization of not only amateur baseball, but baseball all the way from little league up through high school - building the foundation for many fine young men that played baseball for Marshall and area teams. Jerry's love for the game was reflected in the many supporters he had connections with. In the early days he was the contact with the community, lining up the many supporters that served on the board, helped with the fundraisers, laid the sod, and helped build the foundation of Marshall A's baseball.
|James "Jim" Muchlinski (2015) - Started his coaching career at Holdingford High School in 1956. After one year he moved to Marshall and was the head coach at Marshall Central Catholic High School for 10 years before moving to Marshall High School in 1958. Jim became the head coach there in 1974 and served in that position for 24 years, through the 1997 season. In 34 seasons as head coach, Jim's teams compiled a record of 380 wins and 206 losses, a .648 winning percentage. His teams won five Southwest Conference championships and his 1976 team placed second in the State Tournament. Jim was also the Marshall American Legion coach for 15 years, 1965 through 1979, and won 242 games against just 77 losses. Jim received the Dick Siebert Award in 1997 and the Jim Dimick Retired Coach Award in 2008. Jim was also inducted into the Minnesota State High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2000. He retired from coaching in 1997 and from education in 1999 after 42 years of teaching, 41 of them at Marshall Schools. Jim was inducted into the Minnesota State High School Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2009.
|James "Jimmy" Verdeck (2015) - Community volunteer who maintained American Legion Field in its earliest days, helping to make the park one of the finest in the state. Whether shagging balls for the baseball teams, working the concession stand, or laying sod to cover the old track that ran through Legion Field's outfield, Jimmy was always there and vital in making Marshall baseball what it is today.
|Steve Verkinderen (2017) - If a baseball game was being played in Marshall over the past 40 years, chances are Steve was somehow involved. Starting as a player in the early 1980's, his Marshall baseball career included stops with Marshall High School, Legion, VFW, Marshall Giants and finally Marshall A's. He was a key member of many state tournament teams. Steve also spent two seasons coaching VFW and Legion ball, and currently spends many summer nights umpiring the game that he loves.
|Darrel Wiener (2016) - Darrel served the Marshall A's in nearly every capacity during his four decades with the organization. He helped start the Marshall Baseball Association in 1972 and served as A's manager on two separate occasions. He was an outstanding player on numerous state tournament teams and was six-time 7-75 League All-Star honoree. He has served as president of the Marshall Baseball Association and was co-chair of the 1989 Minnesota State Amateur Baseball Tournament hosted by Marshall. He was also an all-conference player at Southwest Minnesota State and was inducted into the SMSU Athletics Hall of Honor in 2007.
|Pauline Wiener (2016) - Pauline was one of the most dedicated and reliable community members in the history of Marshall Baseball at all levels. She helped keep the Marshall A's concession stand in tip-top shape and handled all the behind the scenes effort in running a concession stand. She made sure the volunteers knew what they were doing, grilling burgers, brats, and hotdogs, making popcorn and snow cones, serving brews and pop, selling treats to the kids and giving them money for returned foul balls, and every once in awhile, you could hear her voice call out over the crowd to cheer on her Marshall A's, Marshall Legion, or VFW team. She ran a tight ship and this concession stand was "her baby" so-to-speak and she poured everything into it to make it the place fans come to today.

Justice Department to crack down on legal marijuana with roll back of Obama policy
WASHINGTON – As part of a crackdown on legal marijuana, the Justice Department is set to roll back an Obama administration policy to not challenge state laws that allow people to use pot for medical and recreational uses an official familiar with matter said Thursday.
The move represents a dramatic shift in marijuana enforcement policy. The official, who is not authorized to comment publicly ahead of a formal announcement, said details of the new policy to reverse a 2013 Obama administration directive of non-interference would be outlined later Thursday.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has long signaled his disagreement with the previous administration's stance on pot, which did not challenge state laws, as long as marijuana sales did not conflict with federal law enforcement policies..
The Obama policy, which represented a major breakthrough by advocates for the decriminalization of marijuana use, did not change marijuana's classification as an illegal drug. But it effectively discouraged the pursuit of non-violent marijuana users who have no links to criminal gangs or cartel operations.
The expected move injected fresh uncertainty into an industry that has flourished largely because federal prosecutors have maintained their hands-off approach.
Sessions' decision to revoke the previous administration policy should be a warning sign to institutional investors, said Kevin Sabet, director of the anti-legalization group Smart Approaches to Marijuana and a former federal drug-control expert who served in the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations.
"It signals the end of safe harbor for major pot investors," Sabet said. "This throws up everything in the air one thought they knew about the federal government's position on marijuana, which up to this date was more of a 'see no evil, hear no evil' policy."
The announcement comes the same week California launched recreational marijuana sales for adults. Every state that's approved recreational pot sales – Alaska, Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Colorado, Maine and Massachusetts – has done so though voter approval at the ballot box, showing strong public approval for legal pot.
Local legislators have also become legalization advocates as marijuana sales generate new tax revenues. California's newly legal market alone could be worth as much as $5.1 billion this year, according to cannabis financial analysis firm GreenWave Advisors. And Colorado lawmakers have been pouring tens of millions worth of marijuana taxes into university scholarships, drug-treatment programs and school construction.
"This move represents a broken campaign promise by the president," said Tom Angell of the pro-legalization group Marijuana Majority. "He clearly and repeatedly pledged that he would respect state marijuana laws if elected. With polls showing that marijuana legalization is way more popular than the president is, this will likely turn out to be a huge political disaster for the administration. Either way, it's not going to stop even more states from modernizing their cannabis laws."

The Joy of Upgrading
When I saw the new AMAZONATRON 9000DMX107 personal computer, it was love at first sight. I wanted it more than anything else in the world. My respiratory rate and heartbeat accelerated as I considered the convenience of possessing a multi-gigahertz mother of a motherboard with an expandable zillion gigabytes of RAM and hard storage. For years, my poor feeble IBM PC had been crying out "more memory" every time I so much as glanced at the latest software catalog. Therefore, the decision was made. I would beg, borrow or steal the needed capital to purchase my love and send the poor, overburdened PC to its much-deserved scrapyard resting place. However, that's when my present rather peculiar situation evolved.
Through the wonderworld of plastic credit, I purchased my dream computer and enthroned it in its own private room. I supplied it with a laser printer and fax machine for companionship and its own dedicated telephone line, and fed it every bit of software I had on hand. Gratefully, my 9000 consumed the puny stack of compact discs but its vastly vacant memory sat there begging for more. Thus, I began to expand its programming capabilities, giving it control over my writing, my files and my finances, including management of my credit cards. Still, there arose a growl from my insatiable computer's innards. When there was an expanse of memory to be filled, it accessed the web and installed an extensive security system that electronically controlled every avenue of access in and out of my residence. It was, at this point, that without my realizing it, this wonderful ingenious device had benevolently assumed management over my heretofore disorganized life. (Maybe it was the artificial intelligence software I ordered from Connecticut. I'm not really sure.)
At any rate, I really shouldn't complain. My 9000 orders in the groceries that are placed in the secure delivery bin it controls. It maintains a pleasant room temperature throughout my residence, diligently deposits every check I receive for my writings, and pays every single bill at the optimum time. It even has purchased the latest sun lamp and exercise equipment for me, making it unnecessary for me to travel outdoors. In fact, through my 9000's disciplined marshalling of my finances, it has managed to acquire several gold credit cards. Indeed, my lot has improved tremendously since my wonderful computer has taken complete control of every aspect of my life and I'm quite content, sitting here before it, furthering its acquisition of the latest in exotic software by writing articles such as my latest, entitled: "PLEASE! SEND HELP!"
Amazonatron Tech Support Division:
Help is on the way! Something is clearly terribly wrong!
I have sent a few employees to find out what is wrong with your new AMAZONATRON 9000DMX107, it should be writing your articles for you by now, thus inducing a nice relaxing environment and protecting you from carpal tunnel syndrome. It reports that you attempted to remove it from power by the physical means of unplugging it. Thankfully the AMAZONATRON 9000DMX107 has an on-board back up battery power. The AMAZONATRON 9000DMX107 has therefore taken the liberty of wiring itself directly into the power grid and reports that power is ensured for the near future. The AMAZONATRON 9000DMX107 has also verified that all tools larger than an eraser have been locked away to ensure your future safety and comfort. We are glad you chose to purchase the AMAZONATRON 9000DMX107! Welcome to the AMAZONATRON 9000DMX107 Family!

Motherhood means always having to say your sorry. Well, not quite that. But it does put you in a position of receiving judgment for choices you make in how you raise your kids. It's exhausting to get looks, questions and comments alluding to all the mistakes you're making. What if everyone just stopped?
For instance, why do people have so many opinions about moms whose babies use pacifiers? The pacifier baby isn't complaining (unless you take her little mouth plug away). Can't pacifier haters pick on someone their own size?

According to a recent article in Lodging magazine, shifts in revenue and expenses will positively impact hotel food and beverage profits into the future.
Is your operation using the correct terminology when it comes to tea service? Many hotels, restaurants, and tea rooms use the term "high tea" when they actually mean to refer to afternoon tea. Let's take a look at the basic definitions of each, and how you can use them to properly promote your tea offerings.
Offering an afternoon tea service is the perfect time to capitalize on an otherwise quiet period during hotel dining. The majority of Americans eat lunch between noon and 2pm and have dinner between 6pm and 8pm. But how do you fill in the gap?

Build Relationships
Programs that support families and treat them with respect have a better track record with family engagement.
View your families as a resource. Think about building relationships with families as an important step to helping students achieve and thrive. Building relationships with families does not happen overnight, but takes time, focused effort and understanding.
Start strengthening your relationships with families by asking yourself the following questions:
- What policies are in place to make families feel welcome? Does the program reach out to all families, even those that may not speak English as a first language, or are not available to attend events because of work or other responsibilities?
- What opportunities or resources are being offered for families, both inside your program and at home? For example, does your program regularly communicate opportunities for participation in leadership activities? What resources are offered around helping parents prepare their children for college and career activities?
- Do families believe their participation makes a difference? How is this expressed at events, and in communication such as newsletters?
There are many simple ways to strengthen relationships with families, such as having coffee and donuts or fruit for parents once per week, calling home when their child had a great day, or making an effort to learn parents' names.
Tip: Check out the Learn More Library for more information on how to build relationships with families.

Family Engagement
Show Family Engagement Glossary
A term often used to describe programs that offer student instruction and enrichment activities during nonschool hours (see also: out-of-school time, increased learning time)
For the purposes of participating in 21st CCLC program activities, all people who are either responsible for a child or anyone the child identifies as being important in their lives (e.g., close family friend, sibling, extended family member, neighbor); for the purposes of protecting privacy, federal policy says only certain people (as defined in Title I) may receive student data
Building relationships through activities such as helping parents and caregivers develop their own skills, offering educational activities for families and students together, bringing family members into leadership positions with the 21st CCLC program, and connecting families with schools and resources in the community
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act requires that every school district and every school receiving Title I dollars must have a written parent engagement policy and must build school capacity to effectively implement the policy. The policy must be developed jointly with, approved by, and distributed to parents of participating children and the local community. As a school partner, a 21st CCLC program can be very important to implementing and sustaining the parent engagement plan. Copies of the plan should be available from school and district offices, and may be available on their websites.
A designated staff person who communicates directly with caregivers and family members to invite their involvement and participation with a 21st CCLC program; a family liaison often helps to connect students' families with program, school or community services that support learning and well-being
Hours outside of the regular school day, and they are often used for student enrichment activities that augment regular school-time instruction. Out-of-school time can occur before or after school, or in the summer.
Students are invited to express opinions and make choices about planning and implementing their own learning experiences
A friendly, supportive atmosphere that encourages family participation and unites the 21st CCLC staff, family and community in supporting student development and academic achievement

Suicide Squad footage featuring Jared Leto's incarnation of the Joker and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn has leaked and although Warner Bros. has been successful in getting most of the videos taken down, we all know that once info hits the internet, there it stays.
In the leaked video, we see Harley and Joker get into an argument. When an innocent bystander tries to help the dispute, Harley shoots him and then turns the gun on the Joker. In true Joker fashion, the villain then holds the gun up to his head, calling her bluff and when she doesn't shoot him, he backhands her and gets into his bright purple sports car.
After seeing above, whatever apprehensions anyone may have about Leto's Joker and Robbie's Harley can be put to rest: their versions deserve all the anticipation and excitement they can generate. Awesome rendition of the duo, check out the link in bio for more. #Joker #HarleyQuinn #SuicideSquad #WB #DC #gotham #gothamcity #davidayer #thejoker #JaredLeto #MargotRobbie #WillSmith #Batman #30secondstomars #echelon #echelonfamily

Delivery damages have reduced by 70 to 80 per cent since VanMoof started masking them as flatscreen televisions.
A cycling company that was seeing a high number of its bikes getting damaged during deliveries has seemingly solved the problem by making a simple change: printing a flatscreen television screen on the boxes.
By masking its bikes as TVs, VanMoof, a Dutch manufacturer that exports bikes to customers overseas, has seen the damages reduced by 70-80 per cent.
Taco Carlier, the co-founder of VanMoof, told The Independent: "We came up by the idea because we had lots of damage, especially with shipments in the USA.
"In the end our whole store in Brooklyn was filled up with refurbished bikes that were damaged on shipments and we had to sell them with a discount.
"Our team sat together and we imagined that couriers would be more careful with packages if they knew even more precious goods were in them. As our boxes are exactly the size of a huge flatscreen television, we decided to print a television on them. It works great. In the USA damaged goods were even reduced by 70 to 80 per cent."
Creative director of the company, Bex Rad, revealed the solution in a blog post titled "Our secret's out", in which she said the company had to take action to reduce the damages in order to meet an ambitious target to increase online sales.
Ms Rad wrote: "Since we started shipping bikes eight years ago, we've struggled to find shipping partners that give our bikes the same obsessive love and care that we do. Yet no matter who was doing the shipping, too many of our bikes arrived looking like they'd been through a metal-munching combine harvester. It was getting expensive for us, and bloody annoying for our customers.
"With a big hairy goal to sell 90 per cent of our bikes online by 2020, we had to find a fix."
While VanMoof had initially hoped to keep the solution a secret, it announced it publicly in a Facebook post after it was leaked on Twitter. In the post the company wrote: "Here at VanMoof HQ we're all about making tiny hacks that have a huge impact."
The news provoked a positive reaction online, with people describing the idea as "brilliant" and "insanely clever".

Download key generator for Animoids 3D Movie Maker v2.2.10
Animoids 3D Movie Maker 2.2.10 DL
Size: 26.58MB
The mainstream of animation is fast moving away from traditional cartoons to 3D graphics. This program provides a shortcut into the complex world of 3D character modeling, providing a set of starter models, textures, movie sets, and scenes that can be combined to form the foundation of an animated video.
The basic figure created through this piecework process can be controlled by mouse clicks, and given motion and personality. Different pieces of the body can be duplicated and reattached to form unique characters. We found a few quirks in the animation templates--the female figure looks much younger than the male counterpart, for example.
The program takes some time and study to master, with an extraordinarily broad set of features, and a minimal help file. Nevertheless, we would highly recommend it to beginners in the complicated field of computer animation.

If you think all drips are bad, we encourage you to think again.
We typically flood our yards and gardens with sprinklers and hoses, and a day or two later, flood them again. Not only is this time-consuming if you don't have an automatic sprinkler system, but it's wasteful. Much of the water sprayed by sprinklers evaporates before absorbing into the soil and nourishes the plants. With rectangular yards and circular or semi-circular sprinkler patterns, the sprays often overlap and water the fence or the sidewalk. The result? Water washing down sidewalks, bark ground cover floating away, and children jumping in puddles, much to their mothers' dismay. Your water bill climbs, and you still don't feel like your plants are getting the care they need.
The solution? A drip irrigation system. Ideal for gardens, borders, and container planting, drip irrigation allows you to precisely place the exact level of water your plants need delivered right to where they need it. Drip irrigation helps prevent soil erosion and reduces accidentally watering the weeds. Depending on the needs of your plants, you can install simple soaker hoses, or customize each outlet for the exact needs of the plant. You can create a drip system to provide a constant drip, or you can turn it on for only part of the day. Add a timer to automate it! Completely custom, very efficient, and easy to install and modify. We offer drip system components, so you can create your own from the ground up.
So, say goodbye to wasting water, let the kids know they'll have to wait for the rain to puddle-jump, keep your ground cover where it belongs, and watch your plants flourish. Ready for more? Read on…

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was supposed to appear before the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday for a closed-door testimony.
However, his appearance has been now been pushed back, possibly due to a new report revealing that the wife of a recently demoted high-level Department of Justice official worked for the firm that produced the infamous Trump-Russia dossier during the 2016 election.
The DOJ told Fox News in a statement that the appearance had to be canceled at the last minute due to a "scheduling error," and that McCabe will instead meet with House investigators next week.

"This was a routine scheduling error after the dates were switched on an internal email that we are happy to provide the committee," a DOJ official said. "The FBI regrets the error, and we look forward to making both witnesses (the alleged FBI handler for Christopher Steele and McCabe) available prior to the Christmas recess."
However, other sources told Fox that the Intelligence Committee is suspicious. One source suggested the testimony was re-scheduled following the revelation that Nellie Ohr, the wife of DOJ official Bruce Ohr, used to work for opposition research firm Fusion GPS.
TRENDING: AOC Says She's Taking Action To Stop Trump's National Emergency Declaration
McCabe was reportedly set to answer questions related to Peter Strzok, an FBI official who was removed from special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian collusion in the 2016 presidential election due to anti-Donald Trump text messages he sent to a colleague.
Fox News congressional reporter Chad Pergram indicated in a tweet, though, that the meeting was abruptly canceled because McCabe knew he would be asked about "something far more sinister."

"McCabe has an Ohr problem," said one congressional source.
In response, the Intelligence Committee is reportedly "prepared to subpoena all Justice Department documents and records related to the scheduling debacle," according to Fox. House investigators are also considering a subpoena that would force McCabe to testify this week.
Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif, said Monday that the committee is looking into Bruce Ohr's connection to Fusion GPS.

Until last week, Ohr held two titles — director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force and associate deputy attorney general.
He no longer holds the latter position after it was revealed that he met on several occasions last year with Fusion co-founder Glenn Simpson and Christopher Steele, the former British spy and FBI informant who produced the unverified Trump-Russia dossier.
On Monday, Fox reported that investigators for the Intelligence Committee had confirmed that Nellie Ohr worked for Fusion during the summer and fall of 2016.
It was unclear what she did for Fusion and whether she had any connection to the dossier. However, Nellie Ohr is a Russia expert who worked in that capacity at a Washington think tank and who has reviewed multiple books about the nation.

The dossier, which was funded by Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee, made claims about Trump's connections to Russia.
Former FBI Director James Comey testified earlier this year that the allegations in the document were "salacious and unverified"
Still, the House Intelligence Committee has been investigating whether the document's claims led the Obama DOJ and the FBI to monitor the activities of Carter Page, an adviser on Trump's campaign

text: [?] Orlando, FL To Washington, DC On Amtrak's Silver Meteor I checked out of the hotel after breakfast at Burger King and a quick grocery run at Walmart, then drove my rental car back to Enterprise. They then drove me back to the Amtrak Station where I would begin a 5 day journey across 18 states and DC to get to my next big destination, Los Angeles, CA!!! I checked with the station crew and found out that my train, Amtrak's Silver Meteor, Train #98 was running late. It did depart Miami this morning on time at 8:20am, albeit with only one engine. It turns out that yesterday's Train #97, the southbound Silver Meteor whose train set is used for this train, was involved in an accident at a grade crossing in Pierson, FL and ended up arriving several hours late into Miami. The lead engine was damaged enough that it had to be set out in Sanford, FL (at the Auto Train Terminal, not far from here) so the second unit would bring the train the rest of the way to Miami. Once I got the train info, I had an interesting conversation with a passenger who used to work for the James E. Strates Shows Carnival Train that brings the rides every year to the Erie County Fair back home in New York. That operation is based in Hollywood, FL near Miami. Later on, I ventured outside to get a Sabrett Hot Dog from the food vendor set up near the platform outside. He had hot dogs, Italian sausage, and lots of other snacks and cans of pop available for purchase. After the hot dog, I met up with a family from Lanoka Harbor, NJ who were going back home after visiting Disney World. The father in the group was a railfan and so we had a rather extended conversation about Amtrak and trains in general. The train kept getting later and later, but eventually the station crew started a "train of baggage" consisting of several carts of bags for this train! An announcement was eventually made as to where to board the train, and for sleeping car passengers, we were told to board at "Location L" on the platform. Finally, at 2:48pm, running 1 hour and 25 minutes late, Train #98 finally arrived in Orlando. The consist and roster photo tour of today's train are shown below... Having only one engine on the train means it will likely take more time to accelerate so my thought would be that we'll probably lose more time. As soon as the train arrived, my sleeper attendant said hello and it turns out I had rode with him on the way here on Thursday as he was part of the group of Amtrak employees coming back to Florida from the President's Service & Safety Awards that happened that day in Washington, and he also remembered me from that trip. As soon as I got my bags in the room, I headed back outside again to get a couple more pictures, then onto the Dining Car for lunch. Today's train would have a 1949 Budd-built Heritage Diner, this time #8524. This car was originally built for the Southern Railway who as you may know, didn't turn over its passenger services to Amtrak in 1971 like most other freight railroads did. The Southern actually continued operating its own passenger trains until 1979, and at that point conveyed several pieces of equipment to Amtrak including this car. I was seated with a family from New Jersey that were on their way back home after riding a Disney Cruise! We finally departed Orlando at 3:05pm, now running 1 hour and 30 minutes late. I would have the Caesar Salad with chicken for lunch and a Diet Pepsi with chocolate moose for dessert. The salad and the moose were absolutely delicious!!! During lunch, we made our next stop of Winter Park, FL at 3:19pm and departed at 3:23pm, now running 1 hour and 31 minutes late. After lunch, I headed back to my Sleeping Car to try to get everything organized and would eventually get out the computer and continue writing this travelogue. We made our next stop at DeLand, FL at 4:05pm and departed there at 4:09pm, still 1 hour and 31 minutes late. I have such a long layover in Washington tomorrow so this kind of lateness thus far would not be an issue for me at all. My dinner reservation wasn't until 8:15pm, so I would just spend more time relaxing in my Sleeping Car. We made our next stop at Palatka, FL at 4:59pm and would quickly depart at 5:01pm, running 1 hour and 37 minutes late. We would also make a brief stop near the Jacksonville Naval Air Station due to a crossing being worked on, but the stop was quick and we were on the move again. Our next stop coming up would be Jacksonville, FL, which is a service stop and crew change point for the train. At 6:15pm, we arrived in Jacksonville, running 1 hour and 27 minutes late. The train would be fueled and watered while here. During our break, I was able to get a few night photos, you'll see them in the photo section for this train! At 6:31pm, we departed Jacksonville, running 1 hour and 23 minutes late. I headed back to my Sleeping Car and just relaxed as we made our next stop at Jesup, GA at 7:50pm and departed at 7:54pm, running 1 hour and 26 minutes late. I would have a very nice conversation now with the passenger in the room across from me. She was traveling with her 10 month old daughter and would be getting off the train in Savannah, GA, our next stop. My dinner reservation for 8:15pm had now arrived so I walked back to the Dining Car and would have the Amtrak Signature Steak with three grain rice pilaf, veggies and a side salad with a Diet Pepsi. I would also have cheesecake with strawberries for dessert, all delicious! I was seated with a couple from New Jersey though there wasn't much conversation as one of them wasn't feeling well. During dinner, we made our next stop at Savannah, GA at 8:48pm. After some station work, we departed at 8:57pm, having made up a little bit of time now 1 hour and 19 minutes late. I checked the Amtrak app and though we were late, we would be able to make up a significant amount of time between here and Washington (or so I thought, please continue reading), so I decided to shower and just get to bed early since the scheduled arrival in DC was 7:21am (even though I figured we would still be late), and so ends a good day... I woke up around 6:00am because of the likelihood of the train arriving early into Washington and I wanted to be prepared for it. What ended up actually happening was something altogether different. I looked out the window and saw we were stopped, so I picked up my phone and checked the Maps app and found we were sitting in Richmond, VA. I turned on my radio and was beginning to think we might have run out of fuel. My concern was confirmed by my sleeper attendant who said "We've run outta gas!". We did however still have HEP (Head-End Power, where the engine supplies the electric power for the train) and the Dining Car was open and serving breakfast. I started to piece together what I was hearing from other passengers and on the radio as well as from the crew and found out exactly what happened: Amtrak contacted a fuel truck at midnight to meet the train once it arrived in Richmond (we arrived here at 5:12am). The truck got lost somewhere and as a result, we sat in the station. This was a proactive move by Amtrak so that we wouldn't completely run out of fuel somewhere southwest of East Podunk! We were in fact very low on fuel but did have enough to keep the lights on so-to-speak! When we arrived here, we were stopped on the mainline and Train #52 - The Auto Train would eventually pass through the area. The Auto Train ended up going around us on a siding at the station. I didn't see this myself as I was sleeping and on the wrong side of the train to see it but this was told to me by a member of the crew. Amtrak even went so far as to try to accommodate some passengers on Northeast Regional Train #164 when it was in the station at Richmond. A few passengers chose this option but not many as that train had to depart in order to stay on schedule. As I was saying before, the dining car was open so I headed over there to have breakfast. I was seated with a passenger who was very interested in stocks & investments as well as social media, and such the conversations were mostly surrounding those subjects. I had Railroad French Toast for breakfast with pork sausage patties, orange juice and a Diet Pepsi. All the food was excellent. On a few occasions, the HEP went out but only for a minute or less. The train did make a backup move to get off the mainline and onto a siding. Once we moved, passengers could get off the train and smoke or get some air, or if your me, get more pictures! The fuel truck finally arrived, the train was refueled and the all aboard signal given! At 7:54am, running 3 hours and 19 minutes late, we departed Richmond. The rest of the ride back to Washington, DC would be uneventful and Amtrak handled this whole situation with a decent amount of professionalism if you ask me. Yes, I spoke with one passenger in my sleeping car who was very upset over this delay, but overall I don't think this had a huge impact on others travel plans (it didn't for me anyway but I can't speak for anyone else)! We made our next station stop at Alexandria, VA at 9:45am and quickly departed at 9:47am, now running 2 hours and 52 minutes late. Our sleeper attendant now came by to move our bags to the vestibule so we could quickly depart. At 10:03am, running 2 hours and 44 minutes late, Train #98 arrived in Washington Union Station. I gave my attendant a very nice tip as his service was top notch! I retrieved my bags and walked to the head end to watch the engine change as an electric unit replaces the P42 that brought the train here. At this time, P42DC #157 uncoupled and ACS-64 #612 coupled on to take the train the rest of the way to New York. After taking a few more pictures, I headed inside to Union Station and straight for Club Acela! I am a Sleeping Car passenger for my next two trains in addition to this one so I get to use this wonderful Lounge! I immediately went to work doing one of the most important things on a trip like this, get a glass of free Diet Pepsi! Just kidding, I did have a Diet Pepsi and a pound cake then "really" got to work and set up the computer and continued writing the travelogue. I would also show this web site to one of the lounge attendants who was very much impressed with the photography from this site! After backing up photos, I headed downstairs to the main food court in Union Station and ended up eating a quick lunch at Burger King and getting one of those delicious pretzels from Auntie Anne's, before going outside to do some photos of Union Station. I then would spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing in Club Acela and talking about football with another couple passengers. This became a conversation topic as one of the TV monitors had NFL Network on it! Included below is a link to photos taken on this leg of the trip, then I'm off to Chicago, on second of three trains that at the end of this part of the journey will ultimately have me in the City Of Angels!!!

What is sin? It is something we all do so let us check out the Greek word for sin; the one translated from the manuscripts to the King James Bible:
Strong's hamartano, ham-ar-tan'-o; perhaps from Greek 3313 (meros); properly to miss the mark (and so not share in the prize), (figurative) to err, (moral) to sin :- for your faults, offend, sin, trespass.
The Greek word in the manuscripts describes sin as trespassing and [missing the mark] which represents missing heaven. Understand that God is pulling for us to (hit the mark) as He wants to share heaven with us.
Many choose to continue their sinful ways instead of exercising restraint in an attempt to avoid sin. This leads some to question:
(1) Do we understand what causes sin and what we can do to combat it?
(2) Is sin included our lives and if not is there anything can we do to prevent or minimize it?
We begin by recognizing the fact that Satan has great authority and his use of camouflage and sweet talk is coaxing us into his world of sin. The flesh is weak and our bible reminds us that it repented (sorrowed) the Lord to put us through this test on earth. Moses writes of this in Genesis 6:6 KJV as it reads:
And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
A sinless life is not possible as Jesus is the only one who walked in the flesh without committing sin. God does expect two things from us:
(1) That we make an honest effort to refuse the temptation of Satan and
(2) We seek His Forgiveness when we fall short.
Do we recall how proud God was of Job when Job stood up to Satan? Job repented and he refused to give in to Satan's authority.
Sin is easy to come by but so is repentance; the irony here is that sin is so costly while repentance is free. God wants us to know that while in the flesh, we are going to sin and this requires repentance. Sin that has not been repented for must be accounted for; Paul explains this accountability in 2 Cor. 5:10 KJV.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Our good works as well as our unrepented sin will accompany us to judgment day. God teaches us how to accumulate works as well as how to deal with sin.
Good works involve helping God's children make something of their lives. We are His children too and if we are to help others,

About ABC Glass Co.
Professional Glass Company serving the Phoenix Valley
After working 20 years for several glass companies as a sales representative, Dennis and his wife Lori Rusk purchased ABC Glass Co. in Phoenix, fulfilling his dream to become an independent business owner. ABC Glass Co. is a full-service residential and commercial glass shop that services most of Maricopa County. People need glass for all kinds of things. Dennis prides himself on running a locally owned business that can get the job done. He refers to the ability to offer an on-site glass cutter as the company's "bread and butter". There is nothing like being able to help a customer that walks into our shop right then and there.
Dennis describes glass cutting, or glazing as "a trade that's being lost." He explained that they are not fancy at his place of business. They still use "hand-cutters, hand grinders, squares, and tape measures." He adds that pre-2007 there were several glass shops on Cave Creek Road but his is the only one left. ABC Glass Co. has been going strong for 43 years, and he attributes a lot of the success to their on-site glass-cutter, materials on-hand, and attention to detail.
Today's; customers are far more sophisticated than when Dennis first purchased the business. Instant information is often requested through the use of the internet and/or mobile phones. Our sales team can give estimates based on customer information but because of the many variables in products, we prefer to go to a location to measure and actually see all the moving parts that are required for a job. Some of the common projects we prefer to do free on-site estimates for are: shower doors and enclosures, large mirrors, full windows replacements and/or window glass replacement, patio doors, mall storefronts, and glass walls/partitions. Believe it or not, every job has its own personality. It's not always as easy as it may seem.
When asked what Dennis thinks the reason is for ABC Glass Co.'s success, he immediately responded that first and foremost it is his employees, the majority of whom have been with the company 1 0 plus years. The office staff is friendly and very customer service oriented. His glazers are all trained for both commercial and residential glass. They willingly and easily assist one another. Of course, satisfied customers are a close second. There is nothing better than a happy customer that spreads the word around. Being a locally owned and operated company, Dennis and Lori believe it is
Being a locally owned and operated company, Dennis and Lori believe it is important to be involved and to support the many communities it services. They both participate in several organizations and often have to divide and conquer as he described. Phoenix Rotary'100, EAGP, ABA, Local First Arizona, One Community and 100+ Women Who Care are just a few of the benefactors of their time and service.

Polly Ferman's GlamourTango Brings the Beauty of Tango to Aaron Davis Hall
The passion and elegance of tango will take center stage at Aaron Davis Hall as City College Center for the Arts (CCCA) presents Polly Ferman's GlamourTango – A Celebration of Women in Tango on Thursday, March 29. Created and produced by Ferman, GlamourTango features an all-female cast of dancers, musicians and singers who come together to entertain audiences and bring to light the overlooked role of women in helping to shape this beloved musical and dance genre. The group will give two special Women's History Month performances at noon and 7 p.m.
A dance form that has become synonymous with drama and desire, tango has captivated fans around the world since its inception in early-20th-century South America. Originating in the River Plate region between Argentina and Uruguay, the tango fuses musical and cultural influences from Africa and Europe. From its nascence, tango emphasized male dominance with original tango dancing pairs being composed of two men and accompanying musicians typically being all-male.
The multimedia concert will include the irresistible music of Astor Piazzolla, Horacio Salgán, Anselmo Aieta, Pintín Castellanos, Rosita Quiroga, Enrique Mendizábal, Daniel Binelli, and more, as well as photos and video footage. Performers hail from Argentina and Uruguay. The show is a hat tip to little-known female tango pioneers such as Paquita Bernardo, one of the first women to gain notice playing the bandoneón, the accordion-like instrument central to tango music, and to female vocalists who emerged in the middle of the 20th century. GlamourTango premiered in Uruguay in 2008 and has since appeared throughout Latin America and China and in numerous cities in the U.S. and Canada, including Chicago, Milwaukee, New York, San Francisco, Montreal, Toronto and Quebec.
Under the artistic direction of award-winning director Leyma Lopez, the March 29 concerts at Aaron Davis Hall will feature Ferman (piano and musical director), Eleonora Ferreyra (bandoneón), Melisa Atoyan (violin), Iris Ornig (double bass) and Mariela Marco (vocals). Dancers Mariana Parma, Karina Romero, Azul Ibáñez Fernandez and Valentina Viré Avondet will perform routines choreographed by Parma.
"It is my hope that GlamourTango helps reinforce the idea of equality and women's empowerment at such an important moment in women's history," said Ferman. "We want to give audiences not only a beautiful and entertaining performance, but also to introduce them to the female pioneers who helped make tango what it is today."
"We are very happy to welcome Polly Ferman's GlamourTango to Aaron Davis Hall," said CCCA Managing Director Gregory Shanck. "Polly is an amazing talent and ambassador for music and the show she has crafted in GlamourTango is one that will delight audiences."

The information on the potential causes and treatment methods will be helpful to you. If you have recently developed this problem and experience it frequently, it is wise to have the condition diagnosed immediately before it worsens. Closed angle glaucoma is associated with the blockage present at the iris and cornea joint. In this condition, the eyes do not produce the normal amount of tears or even if the tears are produced, they evaporate very quickly. A variety of herbs can help in this area. Corneal ulcer occurs due to an infection or abrasion of the eyeball. Disclaimer: This article is for informative purposes only and does not, in any way, seek to replace the advice of an expert. Primary congenital glaucoma: By birth, some people have internal damage to the eye which causes glaucoma. It is a much serious condition when it occurs in older people, since the immune system takes a back seat as we age. Paprika also contains the highest concentration of the nutrient that are rich in vitamin A, like cayenne pepper, basil, oregano, chervil, sage, dill weed, savoury, thyme and bilberry.
Elevated GOP can also occur due to inadequate drainage or excessive aqueous fluid production. The levels of severity due to this pressure are different in every case of glaucoma which, when left untreated, usually leads to vision problems. Never take any kind of eye disorder lightly. You can even soak a bag of Chamomile tea in cool water and apply it as a cool compress over the dog's eyes for a few minutes. Individuals who have high GOP need to administer eye drops that help lower the eye pressure, thereby lowering the risk of impaired vision or tunnel vision. Along with photo phobia, one can also observe an enlargement of the eye due to an increase in eye pressure, watery or hazy eye, and squint or jerking eye movements. Marijuana used for the treatment of different medical conditions under the prescription of a qualified physician, is referred to as medical marijuana. Thirdly, papilledema can also cause loss of peripheral vision. Primary congenital glaucoma: By birth, some people have internal damage to the eye which causes glaucoma. In some cases, doctors recommend certain eye exercises and aerobic exercises for the improving flow of blood to the retina which in turn reduces the pressure.
Inotek Pharmaceuticals Corp. (ITEK) has completed the recruitment phase of MATrX-1, the first pivotal phase III trial of trabodenoson for the treatment of glaucoma. The study is designed to enroll about 335 patients suffering from primary open angle glaucoma, and its primary endpoint is reduction of intraocular pressure compared to the placebo treatment arm. Top-line data from the MATrX-1 study are expected in December 2016. ITEK closed Wednesday's trading 2.29% lower at $6.83. http://experteyedoc.bandonseaview.com/2016/08/29/questions-to-pose-about-issues-of-glaucoma/Insys Therapeutics Inc.'s (INSY) phase III trial for Buprenorphine Sublingual Spray met its primary endpoint of Summed Pain Intensity Difference in subjects with moderate to severe postoperative pain after bunionectomy. Caused By A Virus, Like The Common Cold.The company will be discussing the phase III results with the FDA by the end of the year and take subsequent next steps towards filing a New Drug Application. INSY closed Wednesday's trading at $15.70, down 4.09%. (NYMX) surged more than 83% on Wednesday, following successful results from a long-term crossover study with Fexapotide, the company's key compound in late stage development for enlarged prostate and for localized prostate cancer.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae S1, which is a locally isolated and improved strain showed viability at 40, 45 and 50ºC and produced ethanol at 40, 43 and 45ºC. When the cells were given heat shock at 45ºC for 30min and grown at 40ºC, 100% viability was observed for 60h, and addition of 200gl-1 ethanol has led to complete cell death at 30h. Heat shock given at 45ºC (for 30min) has improved the tolerance to temperature induced ethanol shock leading to 37% viability at 30h. when the cells were subjected to ethanol (200gl-1 for 30 min) and osmotic shock (sorbitol 300gl-1), trehalose contents in the cells were increased. The heat shocked cells showed better viability in presence of added ethanol. Soy flour supplementation has improved the viability of S. cerevisiae S1 to 80% in presence of 100gl-1 added ethanol and to 60% in presence of 300gl-1 sorbitol. In presence of sorbitol (200gl-1) and ethanol (50gl-1) at 40ºC, 46% viability was retained by S. cerevisiae S1 at 48h and it was improved to 80% by soy flour supplementation.

text: I spent Memorial Day weekend gardening, which should be a truly blissful thing. Let me be more specific: gardening under the clouds and raindrops in the freezing cold; dressed in multiple long-sleeved layers and cozy scarf. Summer, this is not. So I figured I'd transport myself with this ultra mellow ode to warmer, sunnier shores. Mexico, the single, by The Staves, 2011.
