My daughter loves brushing her teeth. Since the beginning I've brushed my teeth right along beside her. I let her brush her teeth first them I brush them to get a good cleaning. I also let her brush mine that makes it alot of fun for her.
What can you do to make brushing teeth fun?
Toddlers often hate brushing their teeth. What are some tips to make it fun for them while they learn to brush their teeth on a regular basis?
My daughter loves brushing her teeth. Since the beginning I've brushed my teeth right along beside her. I let her brush her teeth first them I brush them to get a good cleaning. I also let her brush mine that makes it alot of fun for her.
I started a chart that he got a sticker every time he brushed his teeth well and without complaining or fighting. At the end of the week he got a small prize, and the end of the month a "big prize"... We did it for a month and a half and it stuck. We no longer do the chart or prizes, and he brushes his teeth without arguments. :D
I bought a story book about dentist, and let her know about dentist...if she don't brush her teeth well...she will got a toothache and we must visit dentist...
But if your teeth healthy, the dentist will give you a present :) finally....it works!
We made up a song that we sing while we are brushing my son's teeth. He likes the song but he still has some trouble because he doesnt want to brush them!
My son (two y.o.) thinks its fun to take turns brushing his teeth. I do a little bit and he does a little bit. Also I got him a toothbrush that flashes and he loves that
I bought my kids the vibrating tooth brushes and they love that so much and we also made up a song to help and who ever could sing it the worst won the contest of singing while brushing their teeth. It worked, I made sure that I always lost which they thought was funny.
My daughter is 2.5 and she LOVES getting a little cup of water and she can dip her toothbrush in it then she spits it into the toilet (the sink is too high yet) and she loves "rinsing" her toothbrush in it! When she is done we give her the cup full of water and she can rinse and spit to get the toothpaste out! She feels like a big kid doing it :)
For me it's been letting them pick their own toothbrush and toothpaste. Then they want to use it because they picked it. My kids also like those little flossers with the handle. They actually wanted to floss with those rather than struggling with a piece of floss.
I just tried letting him brush my teeth with my toothbrush while I brushed his. It worked great!
Buying his favorite character toothbrushes; Dora and Diego. Also he loves his vibrating toothbrush as well.

New Brunswick Graduate Schools with Public Affairs and Social Sciences Programs
Looking for Graduate Schools with Public Affairs Social Sciences programs? Many of the fields in the social and behavioral sciences are human-centered, and require communication and interpersonal skills. Many of the public affairs programs teach leadership or conflict resolution. What better way to learn than at an accredited university or college where you get a hands-on and in-person study experience?
What Does Graduate Study in Public Affairs Social Sciences Mean?
Campus-based Degree programs in public affairs and social sciences are diverse, ranging from the study of artifacts and culture, to economic development, non-profit administration, psychology and urban affairs. Since graduate school is an opportunity to concentrate, research, and learn more in-depth topics about an academic field, knowing a bit more about what is available might help you to mold your education and potentially shape a career niche. Here are a few categories to get to know:
Behavioral Sciences graduate programs are disciplines that study the behavior of humans (and animals). Typically these include fields where there is decision-making and communication (e.g. psychology, cognitive science). Sociology and anthropology also fall into this category but are also social sciences. Behavioral Science fields typically use empirical data, experimental methods and research behavior in the natural and controlled setting.
Social sciences graduate programs focus on the human being in the social context. Fields are diverse, including political science, sociology, economics, geography, social organizations, and different contexts. Unlike the behavioral sciences, research techniques are usually conducted in person (interviews, observation methods, surveys). Generally speaking, social sciences focus on the larger social themes while the behavioral sciences concentrate on communication and
Public Affairs graduate programs also focus on the individual and community but in different ways. These programs are geared for those who are interested in public services, civic engagement, public policy, non-profit organization and studying the extensive and sophisticated economic, financial and legal environments within which public institutions function.
Accreditation, Graduate Schools and Public Affairs Social Sciences
Concerned about graduate program or graduate school accreditation? According to the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) accreditation is possible for colleges, universities and programs not individuals. In the United States, accrediting agencies are non-governmental bodies created specifically to review higher education institutions and programs. The CHEA gives 4 main reasons why accreditation is important, and it is useful information when you start to search and see the plethora of Graduate Schools with Public Affairs Social Sciences programs.[i]
- If you want a federal or state grant, you have to attend an accredited grad school or university
- Employers want to know before providing tuition assistance to current employees
- The federal government requires that a college or university be accredited in order to be eligible for federal funding
- State governments require institutional or program accreditation in order to grant funds to students or schools and when they allow students to sit for state licensure examinations in some professional fields.
Since every field has its own accrediting body you are best to get up to speed with any licensing requirements or accreditation standards required in your discipline.
Searching for Graduate Schools with Public Affairs Social Sciences Programs?
When you start to look for Graduate Schools with Public Affairs Social Sciences degree programs, you should consider not just the accreditation of the program, but also know the industry you hope to work in to find out what type of program is considered the best approach or preparation.

Search by location; use the city, state or country tabs to find a graduate school in your preferred area. You can email the college directly from the site to ask pertinent questions. Then, create a spreadsheet with the names of your graduate school options on one column. Next to it, write the aspects that are most important to you in considering what programs are best (e.g. location, financial aid, cost).
Types of Public Affairs and Social Sciences Grad Degrees
Graduate programs in Public Affairs Social Sciences are available as Masters, PhD and graduate certificate. When you start to look for Graduate Schools with Public Affairs Social Sciences degree programs, you should consider not just the accreditation of the program, but also know the industry you hope to work in to find out what type of program is considered the best approach or preparation.
Masters degrees in Public Affairs Social Science disciplines build on undergraduate interests. Depending on your interests, find programs such as Masters of Social Work, Master of Counseling Psychology, Master of Public Administration (MPA), Master of international and Developmental Economics and Master of Arts in Social Justice and Ethics, amongst many others.
At the PhD level, find programs such as PhD in Health and Medicine, PsyD in Clinical Forensic Psychology, Doctor of Social Work (DSW) in Clinical Practice and Leadership and Doctorate in Anthropology amongst many others. Doctorate degrees are necessary for certain careers, and tend to be research-oriented.
Graduate Certificates in Public Affairs Social Science allow you to build credentials in specialized fields. Choose from any number of programs such as Gerontology Graduate Certificate, International Summer Certificate Program: Identity-based Conflict Resolution and Graduate Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis to name a few.
Potential Perks to Attending a Campus-Based Program
You have heard about online and are wondering whether it is a better alternative to exploring Graduate Schools with Public Affairs Social Sciences programs. While a personal choice, here are a few points to consider:
Variety of Programs: If you are choosing a person-centered field (social work, counseling psychology, gerontology) you may find that there are more programs available on campus than online.
Interaction: If you are choosing to work with public health, public administration, emergency management or other community-oriented programs, building leadership and interpersonal and communication skills may be more realistic on campus.
Access to facilities: As a student of any college or university, you get access to libraries, laboratories, and social services.
Social learning environment: Many students learn best with the hands-on and face-to-face approach that attending class offers. Whether you learn from your professors or through a brainstorming session with classmates, it is hard to replace this type of experience in a virtual setting.

1999 Chevy Tracker: Trophy TrackerPosted in Project Vehicles on December 12, 2012
Rob Peterson's dad bought this Chevy Tracker new off the showroom floor, and Rob was there when it happened. The truck served his dad well, and eventually he offered it to Rob as a fuel-efficient daily driver. Little did he know that son Rob couldn't leave good enough alone.
Rob is the suspension engineer at Synergy Suspension. This company specializes in Jeep and Ram truck suspension kits as well as custom builder parts for the guy who wants to modify his 4x4 beyond a bolt-on kit. Rob is that type of guy. Prior to inheriting the Tracker he had been passed the keys of a Ford Ranger from his grandfather. Before long that truck was sporting long-travel desert suspension, a full cage, new racing seats, and fiberglass body panels. Grandpa's truck was built to go fast and jump big, and it did just that through years of abuse with Rob at the wheel. But eventually it was time for a refresh, so the Ranger got torn apart only to sit idle for a while.
When the Tracker came into Rob's possession he realized it had many attributes of the new Jeep Wrangler (body on frame, four doors, peppy little engine), but not only did it stand out from the crowd of Jeeps on the trail, it was also paid for without requiring a monthly check to the loan department. There was the small problem of the little sport/ute only having rear-wheel drive, but if a custom suspension was in its future then a 2WD-to-4WD conversion couldn't be much more work.
Rob isn't just an engineer; he is also an experienced fabricator, and the work on this machine shows it. He didn't really start his build plan with a rockcrawler in mind; rather, he wanted a fun little 4x4 to take him to the mountains for snowboarding until he could devise a plan to return to his go-fast desert truck roots. Oddly enough, the time and energy thrown at this little "commuter" truck has resulted in a vehicle of ultrahigh caliber—maybe not a go-fast, desert racing, trophy truck, but definitely a Trophy Tracker.

Investigative reporter John Sawatsky has become a leading authority on the art of the interview. His conclusion: Too often we're asking all the wrong questions.
By Susan Paterno Susan Paterno (firstname.lastname@example.com) is an AJR senior contributing writer.
SAWATSKY, 52, STUMBLED upon his mission quite by accident. He first started interviewing as a reporter for the Vancouver Sun while still a student in the '60s at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, the Canadian equivalent of the University of California at Berkeley. He graduated and was quickly promoted to cover Parliament in Ottawa, where he won prestigious awards for uncovering police abuses. In the '80s, he became known nationally for two best-selling exposés of Canada's secret police. In the fall of 1982, the dean of one of Canada's leading journalism schools persuaded him to teach a class in investigative reporting. Five years later, Sawatsky turned his attention to controversial Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, a man who had never held public office before. Sawatsky began researching a Mulroney biography, using his students as free labor. He was reluctant to set the students loose on interviewing expeditions without road maps, so the group devised a list of standardized questions every week. Each student took the list, interviewed a different source with the same questions, and returned the next week with a transcript of the interview. "What came back humbled me," Sawatsky says. Some questions consistently produced remarkable results, while others always bombed. The class became "a laboratory into interviewing." He repeated the exercise week after week, year after year, analyzing the interview as a scientist would a chemical compound. "The experience fundamentally changed me," he says. Bringing to his new project the same persistence and rigor that makes him a consummate reporter, Sawatsky discovered "very little original research done in journalistic interviewing." After breaking down and rebuilding thousands of interviews, he saw patterns. "Interviewing is about people. They're not chemical compounds, and they don't always act predictably. But there is a predictable part." Ask a closed-ended question and sources "will confirm or deny 98 percent of the time. That's the science." The unpredictable part is what happens next. "Socially, people are taught to add a postscript to a confirmation or a denial. As journalists, we hope the P.S. will describe or explain the issue we've raised. That's interviewing by accident. If you get somebody who doesn't want to play, you're in trouble." Most of the time, in friendly interviews, the source adds the P.S. "out of charity. Because our social instincts tell us to be nice. Their charity--not the question--delivers the answer. We're relying on them to help us out. Relying on people's charity to get answers is not a good practice. The ones we need charity from the most are the least likely to give it--the people who stand to lose something." And certain people rarely give charity: "People who go by the book--cops, bureaucrats, lawyers--people who take questions literally, people who are nervous. The last thing fearful people do is open up. They shut down." Professional answer-givers, what Sawatsky calls sophisticated politicians and business executives, frequently defeat journalists by answering a closed-ended question with a curt "No, not at all" or a disingenuous "Gosh, I hope not!" before switching to a prepackaged "message track," their prepared response to uncomfortable questions. Sawatsky's interviewing revelations were informing the Mulroney biography, allowing him to mine enough explosive material--allegations of deceit, misogyny, alcoholism and the like--to put Sawatsky back in the news. When the exposé was published in 1991, reviewers almost universally praised it. Maclean's, Canada's Time magazine, called Sawatsky "stubborn and dogged," the "best investigative journalist in Canada." After the Mulroney furor abated, word was getting around about Sawatsky's research on interviewing. Reporters and editors began inviting him to share what he knew. He accepted a contract with the CBC to do a few months' worth of workshops, mostly in the provinces. Like a comedian with new material, Sawatsky tried out his incomplete methodology on the road, in places like Yellowknife, Regina, Halifax. During the workshops, Sawatsky would position himself between two video monitors showing tape after tape of journalism's elite making one boneheaded mistake after another. The reaction was universally hostile. "It was a radical method," recalls Bob Allison, formerly a national reporter and senior producer for the CBC, now a university professor. "He was telling [TV reporters] to shut up at the very point you think you should open your mouth." The journalists wanted none of it. "Some of them took it very personally," Sawatsky recalls. "It was constant, continual opposition. I was challenged at every step." It became a crusade. "When somebody tells me I'm wrong when I know I'm right, I need to get up and show them I'm right." He identified the weaknesses in his theory, digging deeper into his research, spending thousands of dollars out of pocket to analyze, refigure and repitch the methodology to new audiences. The resistance continued and was often so robust he wanted to pick up his videotapes and leave the room. In Halifax he was nearly eaten alive by a band of "hard-bitten old journalists we were trying to turn around," recalls Allison, who as senior producer was overseeing the training effort. To a room "full of egos," Allison recalls, Sawatsky showed Mike Wallace of "60 Minutes" interviewing John Ehrlichman, a top Nixon aide during the Watergate era. After being asked a "nine-pound question," Ehrlichman responds: " 'Is there a question in there?' " Allison recalls. "Some of the bad boys wanted to know: 'What's wrong with that?' They thought [Wallace] made Ehrlichman look like an asshole." In fact, Allison says, "it was clearly the other way around." ("We disagree with that analysis," says "60 Minutes" spokesman Kevin Tedesco. "Mike Wallace is the acknowledged expert at interviewing. In this case he did exactly the right thing.") By the end of the week, Allison says, Sawatsky's quiet intensity, firm grasp of the material, self-confidence and what he was teaching "won them over," says Allison. "He helped that TV newsroom immensely." In 1994, the CBC invited Sawatsky to train journalists who do the "really big show," he says, the Canadian equivalent of network nightly news. At the end of the week, he came off the elevator and into the newsroom. "It was the size of a football field," he remembers. "I had walked about 10 feet into it when a producer came running up. 'It works, it works,' he told me, and he proceeded to explain what he'd done differently, how he'd tried it, and gotten much better clips. Then somebody else came up, 'It works, it works,' then another and another. I was being stopped every 20 feet by people telling me 'It works, it works!'... That's when it hit. I knew I was changing the culture." Sawatsky says he no longer meets much resistance in Canada and Europe, mostly because his reputation precedes him. Because engagements keep him booked and overseas six months at a time, he says he has done few workshops in the United States. But he also knows what he'd face here. "In the U.S., I'd have to start all over again, proving myself."
IN TORONTO LAST JULY, there was no resistance among the dozen radio and television reporters and producers who gathered around a U-shaped faux-wood table in a CBC conference room. Sawatsky stands at the front of the room, flanked by TV monitors, and tells us cheerfully he's about to show a tape of Dan Rather that illustrates how journalists misuse questions "in a fundamental way." Rather is interviewing Mirjana Markovic, the wife of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, hoping to confirm that the Serbs are behind ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. Rather asks a series of closed-ended questions, and the woman runs over him like a truck squashing a bug. She answers each question with a curt denial, then reverts to her message track, which blames the United States for beating up poor little Yugoslavia. Rather appears flustered. He gains some control when he asks short questions--"How does this end?" "Why did you decide to do this interview?"--but loses it again with long, coercive statements, including allegations that Milosevic is "the new Hitler," for example, or asking "When will you stop killing Kosovar Albanians?" She beats him back with spin and denial. In the middle of the interview, Rather capitulates, telling her he sees her point when she compares U.S. troops in Kosovo to what she calls "the senseless war" in Vietnam. Later, on "Larry King Live," Rather blames Markovic for delivering "one of the strangest interviews I've ever been through. Complete, total denial of provable facts." But, Sawatsky argues, Rather's ineffectual interviewing wound up giving her a forum to deny what he had hoped to prove. For Rather to hold the president's wife accountable, he would have had to ask her specific questions about incidents and events--the provable facts he says he had. Then, he would have had her agreeing to those facts or requiring her to provide evidence to prove the incidents and events were false. (Rather, through a CBS spokeswoman, declined repeated requests to be interviewed for this story.) Without agreement, the journalist spars for control with the source, lurching back and forth between coercive questions and flat assertions. Sawatsky calls it "moving back and forth between 'outputting' and 'inputting.' " Outputting is any time you make a statement, interject a value, voice an opinion. Inputting is when you ask nothing but neutral, open-ended questions. People, by nature, are either "inputters" or "outputters," he says. TV journalists, for instance, tend to leave their dial on output. Inputters are straight men, allowing sources to crack wise and showcase personality. "I can go into any newsroom and usually tell you who gets the best stories in the paper. It's usually the reporters with the blander personality. They're not the life of the party. They're amazingly consistent if you eavesdrop on them during interviews: You'll hear plain, neutral, bland questions. Colorless questions usually provide colorful answers." Journalists get into trouble when they try to do both--showcase their personalities (output) and receive information (input)--simultaneously. "We feel this need to output; that's our instinct," Sawatsky says. "But the granddaddy of all rules is this: We must balance input and output." When the source "is outputting, we need to be inputting. The fact is, you can't suck and blow at the same time." Tall and slightly bent from years of cycling, Sawatsky tends toward shirtsleeves and comfortable shoes, blending easily into crowds. He lives in the capital, Ottawa, where he lives and does most of his writing. He is modest to a fault, eating takeout Chinese from a brown paper bag in his hotel room, preferring walking or buses to cabs and limousines, even while on an expense account. Despite his fame, he is far from wealthy. His books, so narrowly focused on national issues, have little appeal outside Canada, where best-selling authors "sell about one-tenth the number of books you'd sell in the States." He is, though, a journalist devoted to the story, and the story he needs to tell is about interviewing. And so he presses on, mostly in evenly moderated, well-reasoned and rational tones. But occasionally, with Mike Wallace or Sam Donaldson as foils, he works up the fervor of a Baptist minister preaching the gospel, railing against journalism's conventional interviewing techniques. To illustrate his point, he shows a tape of CNN anchor Jeff Greenfield interviewing Sam Donaldson. Greenfield has accused the veteran ABC reporter and his White House correspondent cohorts of succumbing to the "Perry Mason syndrome," adding, "You guys think that if you ask the right question in the right way that they'll crumble, they'll admit something." "They're not going to crumble," Donaldson replies emphatically. "The point is, you should ask a pointed question that hangs in the air.... You ask a pointed question and the audience can say to itself, 'Why didn't he answer the question?' Or they say, 'Why did he ask that question?' But the point is, it's there even if he doesn't answer it." Sawatsky stops the video. "OK, now I'm going to start my rant." Donaldson, he says, is "voicing the conventional wisdom. 'The question is not going to get an answer: It just hangs in the air.' This is an avowal of failure. Sam Donaldson doesn't use the question to gather information. He uses it to let...it...hang...in...the...air. "Journalism is about directness, precision, clarity, about not confusing people," Sawatsky says, more worked up than he has been all week. "Sam Donaldson is saying: 'Let the audience figure it out. Let them read between the lines.' Basically, he's saying he can't do his job. Questions are supposed to get answers. Questions that fail to get answers are not tough enough. We have to redefine what tough is." ("How silly," responds Donaldson. "You can't always ask questions that are guaranteed to get answers." If a source refuses to answer a question, he says, "you press it to a point. But if they don't want to answer, you've got to stop. You can't keep going. At some point, you give up. No one likes to see a reporter badger past the point where [the source] is not going to answer the question. Then you have to move on to another question.") But Sawatsky disagrees. His method is based on asking questions beginning with what, how, why and to a lesser degree, who, when and where. Not exactly a novel concept. But what Sawatsky succeeds in showing is how even the best-constructed questions will fall flat if laden with the interviewer's attitude. He shows various videos of Larry King grilling guests: "Are you bitter?" "No." "Angry?" "No." "Were you surprised?" "No." "Did you feel guilty?" "No." "Were you disappointed?" "Oh yeah, I guess I was disappointed." King "takes a stab in the dark and finally he hits one. This," he says, "is where the coercion comes in." Leave the values out, he says, and problems solve themselves. Instead of asking Sarah Ferguson, for example, "Is it hard being a duchess?" ask: "What's it like being a duchess?" Instead of asking Ronald Reagan, "Were you scared when you were shot?" ask: "What's it like to be shot?" Effective interviewing requires "overcoming our social conditioning and instincts," he says. "The goal of a conversation is to exchange information; the goal of an interview is to receive information." In a conversation, two people compete to make a point, and "it becomes a contest for control." Since most sources decide before an interview how much they'll reveal, the challenge becomes "compelling people to go further than they normally would." The best questions, argues Sawatsky, are like clean windows. "A clean window gives a perfect view. When we ask a question, we want to get a window into the source. When you put values in your questions, it's like putting dirt on the window. It obscures the view of the lake beyond. People shouldn't notice the question in an interview, just like they shouldn't notice the window. They should be looking at the lake." "I get it," says a voice from the back of the room. "Mike Wallace is like a stained-glass window." "That's right," Sawatsky says. "Stained-glass windows are beautiful to look at, but it's all about the window, not about the view."
THE DAY AFTER SAWATSKY dodged my question about holes in his methodology, he offered up an anecdote that answered it. It wasn't luck or magic that brought the answer, as I might have suspected a few days earlier, but his charity. The holes were bothering him much less, he said, than the frustration he felt from having no time to work out the few remaining kinks in his theory. He then told the story of a young reporter in Oslo, Norway, who approached him at a break during one of his seminars. "She asked me: 'Don't you ever get bored doing the workshop over and over?' "I get interviewed a lot, and I've been asked that question over and over, so I have a message track for it. I say, 'No, not at all,' then I go into spin: 'The methodology is not finished. I'm building it brick by brick. As long as I keep working on it, I'll never get bored,' et cetera, et cetera. She stopped me in the middle of my message track and blurted out: 'I just asked you a closed-ended question! You of all people! Let me start again, and do it properly: How do you feel about giving this workshop?' "When she asked me, 'How do you feel?' I gave an answer I'd never given before. I told her: 'I'm always upgrading the methodology, and every time I try to put new stuff into it. Lately, though, the demand for the workshop has grown so much, I sometimes feel very frustrated, because I know I'm not doing the job I want to be doing.' "My answer actually surprised me. I had never said 'frustrated' before. I had my message track. I thought I loved doing this. So why didn't I give that answer to the first question? Because she asked about being bored. The content of the second question changed from specific to basic. My answer," he says, "surprised even me." And that's pretty hard to do.

Lysistrata storms the acropolis!
a Comedy by Aristophanes
in a world premiere translation by Peter Green
directed by John Given
March 26, 27 and 28, 2010 at 8:00 p.m.
at the Great Rooms of Mendenhall Student Center
on the campus of East Carolina University.
Admission is FREE. No tickets required.
Co-sponsored by the Program in Classical Studies and
the Mendenhall / University Unions.
Click here for Production Photos!
Lysistrata was written in 411 B.C. and first performed at a dramatic festival of Dionysus in Athens. In 411, the Greeks had been fighting a civil war, the Peloponnesian War, for twenty years. Aristophanes' play tells the story of how the women of Greece conspired to stop the war — by withholding sex from their husbands until they stopped fighting.
Aristophanes is well-known for his obscene and coarse humor. Lysistrata, his most famous play, lives up to his vulgar reputation. And goes beyond it! Audiences are strongly advised that this play is not suitable for children.
We regret that we can provide no reserved parking for off-campus guests. We have, however, made arrangements with ECU Parking Services that the permit requirement will be suspended for (1) the "A" parking lot immediately south of Mendenhall Student Center and Joyner Library and (2) the three "B" parking lots between Ninth and Tenth Streets between campus and Evans Street. Audience members may park in any of those lots without fear of ticketing beginning at 5:00 p.m. The referenced parking lots are labeled WC-8, WC-23, WC-27 and WC-28 on the map at left.

ACME Baseball: Wapak rallies past St. Marys ACME team, 5-4
WAPAKONETA — What a difference a week makes.
Seven days ago, the Wapakoneta ACME baseball team sent rival St. Marys home with its tail between its legs thanks to a 17-0 shellacking at K.C. Geiger Park.
Thursday at Wapakoneta High School, St. Marys jumped all over Wapak starting pitcher Andrew Hines for four first-inning runs.
But Hines settled down and Wapakoneta chipped away at the St. Marys lead to pull out a 5-4 win.
Wapak improved to 5-0 on the season. St. Marys is 3-4.
Photo Gallery: http://www.flickr.com/photos/smeveningleader/sets/72157630071447169/show/
"The big difference was we threw strikes, made them put the ball in play, gave our defense a chance, and we didn't give free bases," St. Marys coach Alan Hueber said. "A 5-4 ballgame, you can't be upset about that against a team that's returning everybody from the state championship game."
St. Marys sent 10 batters to the plate in the top of the first inning, scoring four runs on six hits, a walk and a hit batsman. The big hit in the inning was a two-run double by Isaac Fitzgerald on a misplayed ball in the outfield.
St. Marys' final two runs came on back-to-back two-out bases-loaded singles by Codie Deaton and Nate Vogel.
Wapak tied the game at 4-all in the third.
Isaac Fitzgerald tossed a complete game for St. Marys, allowing five earned runs on 10 hits and three walks with three strikeouts.
"Even though it's a loss, this could help us jump into a nice winning streak," Huber said.
St. Marys travels to New Bremen tonight for a 6:30 p.m. game against the Cardinal ACME team.

Taylor Swift invites fans to apartment for pizza party
TAYLOR SWIFT invited 90 of her fans to an exclusive pizza party at her New York City apartment on Monday night (18Aug14).
Swift wanted to keep the party going after hosting a Yahoo! livestream event at the Empire State Building, and invited the audience to join her at her Manhattan pad.
The hand-picked fans took to Twitter.com during the bash, with one reveller writing, "Taylor Swift is just the best. Ever. I mean if you have an apartment you've gotta have a party, right? Thanks for inviting me girl."
Swift also took pictures with the 90 party-goers, asking them if they wanted to hold either one of her coveted Grammys or her MTV Video Music Award moonman trophies.
The livestream that led to the pizza party was staged so Swift could announce the release of her first official pop album, called 1989, this October (14). She also premiered her new single, Shake It Off, and its accompanying music video.

Can the 401(k) evolve to provide retirement security, or is it a failed experiment? The point is hotly contested.
Two weeks ago, Sen. Tom Harkin (D., Iowa) proposed revamping the U.S. retirement system by replacing the 401(k) with a privately run retirement plan that would provide lifetime income benefits, similar to a pension.
Now, a new report from Fidelity Investments paints an optimistic picture of the 401(k)'s impact. On Aug. 2, Fidelity released an analysis of the 11.9 million 401(k) accounts it administers. Since 2009, the company says, the average employee contribution in the second quarter rose by $150, to $1,660. Employers, for their part, contributed an average of $950 in the second quarter, up $90 since 2009.
"Rising contribution levels from both employees and employers show a strong commitment that both have to workplace savings plans," James McDonald, president of Workplace Investing for Fidelity, said in a prepared statement.
The firm said new trends among 401(k) plans have particularly helped members of Gen Y, born between 1979 and 1991. Among the 2.2 million Gen Y participants in plans Fidelity administers:
- 51% have 100% of their money in a target-date fund, versus 30% of investors of all ages.
- 8.8% contribute to a Roth 401(k), versus 5.8% of all participants.
Why are these trends positive? With a target-date fund, participants have "better diversified portfolios than previous generations, which can have a positive impact over the long term" on their returns, Fidelity says.
As for those who invest in Roth 401(k)s, they must contribute after-tax dollars. But once they retire, they withdraw the funds tax-free. For younger investors, this is typically a good deal. The reason: They are likely to be in a lower tax bracket when they make contributions than they will be in the future, when they make withdrawals.
"The trends we are seeing among our more than 2 million Gen Y participants are particularly exciting," Mr. McDonald said in announcing the findings.

How long will Chris Young last tonight before things unravel? Whether it is the fifth, sixth or seventh inning – anything later is a pipe dream – it really doesn't matter because the third time through the order is when he loses it.
There's a few ways around it. The first is to give him 18 outs then pull him regardless. The second, and the most prudent, is to give the 18 outs PLUS the first runner. Once somebody gets on pull him because this is when things unravel.
Against the Nationals last week it was an infield hit then a homer. Just like that, the momentum shifted. I realize the Mets have no bullpen to speak of so Terry Collins can be understood for wanting to stay out of it.
But, staying with Young isn't a great idea, either.

Stark differences, controversy highlight attorney general race
DANBURY -- For the first time in nearly two decades, the state will have a new lawyer at the helm of the attorney general's office.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who has held the post since 1991, has decided not to run for re-election and instead has put his name in the hat for a U.S. Senate seat.
While the attorney general's race may not be receiving as much attention as the top of the ticket, it has been a campaign fraught with controversy.
The latest volley was fired Monday by the state's Republican chairman, Chris Healy, who claims Democratic candidate George Jepsen isn't qualified for the position.
Healy cited a recent opinion written by the state Supreme Court disqualifying Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz, who was an initial front-runner for attorney general prior to losing a court battle in the spring regarding her eligibility.
The court opinion, according to Healy, requires that an attorney general have the legal status to appear in court and the "practical experience to litigate effectively."
More InformationAttorney general candidates George Jepsen, Democrat Attorney general candidate 55 years old Ridgefield resident Has 26 years of legal experience Served for 16 years in the state Legislature Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor in 2002 Graduate of Harvard Law School Martha Dean, Republican Attorney general candidate 51 years old A resident of Avon Has 22 years of legal experience Republican candidate for attorney general in 2002 Graduated from University of Connecticut School of Law Has operated her own legal practice, The Law Offices of Martha Dean, for 16 years
He said not only does Jepsen not have "basic litigation experience," but he has not been admitted to the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals or the U.S. Supreme Court.
Jepsen, 55, of Ridgefield, said Healy's assertion is nothing more than a desperate move by a campaign that's behind in the polls.
Jepsen's Republican opponent, Martha Dean, is a tea party favorite who calls herself a "classical liberalist" -- someone who believes in a strict adherence to the state and federal constitutions, limited government and individual liberty.
Jepsen, a former state Senate majority leader, said he would be a strong legal advocate for consumers but would litigate a case only as a last resort, preferring instead to mediate a case and come to a resolution.
"I have 26 years of legal experience and have represented clients in adversarial proceedings in a wide range of contexts, from civil to criminal and probate court to the Connecticut Supreme Court," he said.
He added that while he is admitted to the state federal court, admittance to the Second Circuit can be easily remedied by filing an application.
"It's just not an issue," Jepsen said.
One of the first things he would do if elected to the office, Jepsen has said, would be to ask the state Legislature for additional powers granted under federal law that would allow the attorney general to take a more active role against fraud in the financial services sector, such as predatory lending.
Dean, 51, of Avon, said she would join the 20 other states that have filed a lawsuit against the federal government regarding the requirement in the federal health care act that requires everyone purchase health insurance.
Jepsen said his opponent is too much out of the mainstream for Connecticut voters because of her support for firearms training for school children and for nullification, a controversial legal doctrine that would allow states to declare federal law null and void.
Dean has on several occasions called her opponent "Blumenthal light," stating that there are few differences between the candidate and the current attorney general.
She has criticized Blumenthal on several occasions for grandstanding for the media and using the office as a steppingstone to higher political goals.
A recent Suffolk University poll has Jepsen leading the race, with 40 percent of the survey's respondents saying they would vote for the Democrat. The poll reported that 28 percent of the respondents would vote for Dean, while 28 percent were undecided.
Dean, however, discounts the poll, noting that there were only 500 respondents surveyed from a largely Democratic stronghold of the state.
Dean has been largely outspent by her opponent, having raised only about $69,000, while Jepsen received $750,000 in funding through the citizens election program.
Dean opted not to participate in the public financing program on principle, saying it's wrong to have the taxpayers fund political campaigns.
Dean added that while she only spent $10,000 on advertisements prior to the primary this spring, she received more votes than any other Republican candidate.
Gary Rose, chairman of the department of government and politics at Sacred Heart University, said that while he would be surprised to see Dean win the election next week, "I also wouldn't rule her out."
Dean, by far, enjoys more support from tea party members than any other statewide candidate, Rose said, adding that tea party members could come out in force during an election that could see a low voter turnout.
"That does make her campaign viable," he said. "But she has an uphill battle."

The Division of Rhinology/Sinus Disease has existed as a clinical area of expertise within the Department of Otolaryngology at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai probably since the founding the Eye and Ear in 1820. The medical discipline of rhinology refers to the study and treatment of diseases of the nose and related structures.
In the nineteenth century, rhinology evolved from examination of nose and treatment of simple infections to the beginning of detailed anatomic studies of nasal and sinus anatomy and the early formulation of surgical principles for treatment of acute and chronic disease. Much of our early understanding of sinus pathology and sinus anatomy began with the work of the European anatomist, Emil Zuckerkandl.
In the twentieth century, American anatomist and surgeons began an intense century of studying the intricate anatomy of the nose and sinuses, and to apply their knowledge to surgical treatment. These efforts evolved into surgical approaches to the nose and sinuses through either the face or nose. The latter was practice by relatively few surgeons until the introduction of surgical endoscopes (endo=within + scope=to see) in the 1980's.
With the simultaneous introduction of computer tomographic imaging (CT scan) and optical instruments, the diagnosis and treatment of nasal and sinus diseases rapidly expanded. To better reflect these events, the Eye and Ear sought to further describe its nearly two centuries of care of nasal and sinus disease under the name of the Division of Rhinology/Sinus Disease.

Oshie signs five-year deal with Bluesby Louie Korac
ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Blues and T.J. Oshie avoided an arbitration hearing Friday after agreeing to a five-year, $20.875 million contract late Thursday night.
The 25-year-old Oshie, who is coming off of career highs in goals (19), assists (35), points (54) and games played (80), was a restricted free agent who made $2.35 million on a one-year contract in 2011-12. He was the Blues' first-round pick (No. 24) in the 2005 NHL Draft. His 54 points were tied for the team lead last season.
"We're obviously excited to have T.J. under contract as he enters the prime of his career and to know that we'll have him through that portion," Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said. "It's very rewarding and we think he's a big piece of our team from last year and he's a big piece moving forward."
The Blues and Oshie were set to have an arbitration hearing Friday at 10 a.m. ET, when both sides would have presented their respective cases for a contract, which would be either a one- or two-year term of the team's choice. A deal between the two sides at some point leading up to the hearing always seemed like the most likely end result.
"Arbitration is just a tool that both sides have available to them," Armstrong said. "It's just a piece of the process. We exchange briefs and we get an idea where each side is coming from. I think everyone's comfortable with the business side of it that you try not to have any hangover of emotion based on an arbitration hearing.
"We knew today at 9 a.m. (CT), we were going to put T.J.'s fate in someone else's hands and we both decided it was best to try and see if we can work out something together."
After playing in only 49 games during a 2010-11 season that included some off-ice issues, the Blues gave Oshie a one-year deal to prove himself. Oshie proved worthy of a long-term commitment with a solid season that helped the Blues to the second-most points in franchise history with 109. Adding veteran coach Ken Hitchcock also was a catalyst in Oshie's success.
"We certainly thought he had a good, productive season last year," Armstrong said of Oshie. "A lot of the things that we were looking for as far as consistency on the ice, the ability to play 80 games was there. I also think with the coaching change, I think he embraced the new coach and someone with Ken's experience obviously he became a valuable player for our franchise with the amount of ice time he got. He and David Backes mirror each other. We know what David means to our team, so I just felt knowing Ken was here and knowing what T.J. means to the team and how he's coached by Ken just made it a natural movement to get him signed for a longer term as possible and we were able to do that."
Add this contract to the recent signing of David Perron to a four-year deal, and the Blues now have a good portion of their core group under contract for the long term. Defensemen Alex Pietrangelo and Kevin Shattenkirk will be restricted free agents after the 2012-13 season and are likely the next targets for long-term deals.

All of the paperwork is officially protected by an official 75 year classification order issued by the post-war government. But work is already underway to preserve the faded, dog-eared documents for posterity. The material from 1940 will be published in 2015, with the subsequent documents to follow over the next four years.ReplyDelete

Sol 11 Update on Curiosity from USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: ChemCam Testing16 August 2012
I served as SOWG chair again today, planning Sol 11 of the MSL mission. All is going well, but slowly--we continue to confirm that instruments are working and to get ready for more ambitious activities. Today's plan was so full of stuff that we have to do to realize the full potential of MSL that we couldn't add new observations based on the data we have received so far. For example, a full hour of the day was spent setting software parameters for all the motors on the rover--thousands of parameters! This is indeed a very complex system. But the rover is healthy and the planning team is getting better at preparing ever more complicated command sequences to send to MSL. The most exciting news today was that the ChemCam and Chemin instruments successfully returned their first data. ChemCam is the remote chemical analysis instrument that uses a laser to vaporize rock/soil up to 7 meters away, creating a plasma of ions and excited atoms that emit photons as their electrons relax to lower energy states. These "electronic transitions" are measured by sensitive spectrometers, yielding spectral peaks that indicate which elements are present in the target. In preparation for such observations, we tested the pointing of the instrument by taking pictures of a calibration target on the rover with the Remote Microscopic Imager (RMI), a camera that uses the same optics as the laser and spectrometers to show where the laser hit the target. We didn't fire the laser yet, because we want to be sure that the pointing is accurate first. We wouldn't want to shoot the rover by mistake! But the RMI images show that the pointing is very good, and they will allow us to improve the pointing by analyzing the offsets relative to the center of the calibration target. Most importantly, both ChemCam and Chemin (the X-ray instrument that will determine what minerals are present in samples delivered to it) are working as well as expected--everyone applauded when the initial results were reported!

Fashion expert Elizabeth Charles just opened her third eponymous boutique in the former chic A'Maree's store at Westcliff Court in Newport Beach.
She already enjoys a loyal following of fashionistas, who appreciate her sophisticated and elegant merchandise found at her flagship New York and San Francisco stores. Her celebrity clients include Michelle Pfeiffer, Kate Hudson, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lopez, Rashida Jones, Edie Falco, Helena Christensen and Gretchen Mol.
Charles is bringing hard-to-find elegant and stylish apparel and accessories to Orange County from up and coming designers that she loves.
"It's not that I don't appreciate a big name designer like Chloé," Charles said. "It's just that I want to find designers before they hit it big."
She prides herself on offering value to her customers by seeking out high-quality pieces with exquisite attention to detail that you'd expect from major fashion houses, but you're not paying for branding and marketing.
Elizabeth Charles' mix of designers are more affordable. For instance, she carries beautiful boots by Laurence Dacade (who also designs shoes for Chanel). His label's high-end leather and quilting detailed boots cost $1,100, whereas a Chanel boot can run much higher.
An Elizabeth Charles customer wants to look original, sophisticated and stylish — and wears denim on occasion (that's why Charles' favorite Genetic Denim brand is carried) but doesn't need a highly recognized label to define herself.
Choose from hand-treated, distressed and painted leather jackets from L.A. based designer, +Beryll; multifunctional Sedgwick handbags with straps by jewelry designer Lulu Frost that can be worn as a belt or necklace; a sexy black Cushnie et Ochs dress with precise cut-out around the waist; and coveted black leather leggings by Kevork Kiledjian.
Other designers include Vanessa Bruno, Carven, Doo.Ri, Giada Forte, Roseanna, Aquascutum, Marios Schwab, Heimstone, Todd Lynn, Rue du Mail, Thakoon, Peter Som, Preen, Rachel Comey, Rick Owens' Lilies and Darkshadow collection, Rika, VPL, Felder Felder, Wayne and Willow.
Jewelry designers include Rona Pfeiffer, Arielle di Pinto, Made Her Think, ACB, +Beryll and Lady Grey.
The store, at 1649 Westcliff Drive, is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays; and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, call (949) 645-2300 or visit http://www.elizabeth-charles.com.

ATLANTA, GA – The York College baseball squad open its 2012 season with a dramatic split during day one of the Emory University Rawlings Southern Classic on Saturday in Atlanta, GA. The Spartans fell to Millsaps 7-4 in the opener before rallying to down Emory 11-10 in 10 innings in the nightcap.
The Emory game should prove to be a memorable one for the Spartans. York trailed 9-1 after the fifth inning as the Eagles jumped out to a huge lead.
The Spartans fashioned an improbable comeback in the bottom of the seventh. The frame started off with a Drew Frankenfield single to center. Freshman Adam Bartholomew drew a walk followed by a Colin Porter walk to load the bases with no outs. Jimmy King reached on an error as Frankenfield and Bartholomew both scored, cutting York's deficit to 9-3. Junior Nic Long then jacked a three-run homer to left as the Spartans scored five runs in the span of five hitters.
The rally continued as Sean McCann was hit by a pitch but he was forced out at second as Dustin Worthman hit into a fielder's choice. Senior Steve Tretter walked and Justin Cohen followed with an RBI single, plating Worthman as the Spartan deficit was just 9-7. Frankenfield then singled to score Tretter as the Spartan comeback was nearly complete. Porter scored Cohen with an RBI double and the game was tied at 9 through seven innings of play.
The Eagles scored a run in the top of the ninth but the Spartans rallied when Tretter singled, was sacrificed to second and scored on an Eagle error, tying the game at 10.
The game-winning rally started when Porter walked. King advanced him to second on a bunt. After a fly out to right, pinch hitter Jeremie Patrick and Worthman drew back-to-back walks to load the bases with two outs. Tretter then found himself down in the count 1-2 before drawing a walk to plate the game-winning run.
Junior Josh Kohn earned the win out of the pen. He struck out two in the top of the tenth to pick up his first victory of the year. Kohn was the seventh York pitcher of the day and the pen did it's job after sophomore starter Tyler Alexander had a rough outing. The pen combined to throw seven innings, allowing three runs, one earned, on six hits with six strikeouts and three walks. Freshmen Andrew Tucci, David McGee, and Dan Gurganus each were outstanding as they all threw perfect innings of relief for the Spartans.
Connor McGuiness suffered the loss for the Eagles as he allowed a run on four walks in his one inning of work. Ben Hinojosa made a strong start for Emory as he allowed one run on four hits with four walks and three strikeouts in six innings.
Long led the Spartan offense as he was 2-for-4 with four RBI and one run scored. Cohen and Frankenfield each had two hits with an RBI and a run scored. Porter was 1-for-2 with two runs scored and an RBI while he also drew three walks. Tretter finished the game 1-for-3 with two runs scored, and RBI and three walks. The Spartans drew 11 walks in the win while they struck out just four times.
Brett Lake led the Eagle offense as he was 2-for-4 with three runs scored and two RBI. Catcher Jared Welch was 2-for-5 with a run scored and RBI while Brandon Hannon was 1-for-3 with two RBI and a pair of runs scored.
In the season opener against Millsaps, the Spartans scored in the bottom of the first as Tretter doubled, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a Cohen RBI ground out.
The Majors struck for three runs in the top of the third but the Spartans tied the game at three in the bottom of the fourth as Porter had an RBI single and Long later plated Porter with an RBI single of his own.
The Spartans took a short lived 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth as Frankenfield recorded a sacrifice fly to right, scoring Tretter with the Spartan run.
Millsaps recaptured the lead in the top of the sixth, striking for three runs, taking a 6-4 lead.
The Green and White had two runners on in the eighth with two outs but King hit a bullet to right to end the threat. The Majors got an insurance run in the ninth and York couldn't get anything going in the ninth as they opened the season with a setback.
West Hammond earned the win as he went five innings, allowing four runs, three eanred, on five hits with three walks and four strikeouts. He improves to 2-0 with the win. Zander Romano earned the save as he threw four shutout innings, allowing just two hits with two walks and one strikeout.
Junior Joey Couch suffered the loss in his first start of the year as he allowed six runs on eight hits in 5.2 innings of work. He struck out three and walked two.
Stephen Gates led the Majors with three hits, two RBI and two runs scored from his lead off spot. Keith Shumaker was 2-for-5 with two RBI while Drew Leonard added a hit, two RBI and one run scored.
Tretter led the Spartan offense as he was 2-for-5 with two runs scored. King also banged out two hits for the Spartans while Porter was 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.

Very nice new movie from the Xonotic community:
It gives a pretty good idea about the vanilla game mode, although the very popular (some say too popular) "Minstagib" (one shot kills) and the total conversion mod Overkill (All new player-models and weapons, with team-spawn etc.) are also shortly shown.
Not shown are the popular vehicle mod and the recently added lightning gun (still WIP), but you can try everything yourself easily by getting the auto-downloader of the latest development build here.
As with most FOSS games, they are looking for more developers (& players) and if you have some cash to spare you can currently also pledge for the creation of some NPC characters for a single-player or COOP-mode here.
Speaking of FOSS crowd-funding, another great FOSS arena shooter, Red Eclipse this currently preparing a campaign for porting their somewhat aging Cube2 engine to the much nicer Tesseract (which is technically something like Cube3).
Oh and a new version (1.5) but still with the old engine should be out very soon ;)
Happy fragging!

Luscious Lobster Pasta and Some Kestrel Photos
There is an exciting development in the garden, however. We have had a thrilling front row view of three baby kestrels fledging from their nest box. Several years ago Dan made a big birdhouse and popped it onto a maple tree in back of our house in hopes of luring pileated woodpeckers to nest there. Instead, one year we got a pair of kestrels, small, shy falcons with beautiful markings, that enjoy snacking on rodents (yay!) and other birds (there goes my bird sanctuary!). They returned again this year and chased away various hopeful starlings and grackles, but we hadn't seen them nesting once the foliage grew out. To our delight, one by one, we heard baby bird chirping and saw one, two and then three fuzzy kestrel chicks leave the nest.
We believe we have three young boy kestrels, whom we've alternately referred to as Chip, Robbie and Ernie ("My Three Sons") and Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe ("Bonanza"). Little Joe is runtier than his two bigger chick mates so we've become particularly attached to him, rooting him on in his short fledgling flights from nest to ladders to our backyard swing set. Glad to see that's getting some use again.
Dan is particularly enraptured with raptors, so he's been nonstop wearing a pair of binoculars around the house most days. We saw one of the parents (they zoom in and out so fast you can't focus on their plumage to determine their gender) drop off an enormous snack for one of the older kestrel chicks. It was the size of a pigeon, but it had some big old yellow chicken feet, so we're still trying to guess what that unfortunate fowl was. My neighbor down the road does raise turkeys, so maybe this was an early Thanksgiving for Hoss or Adam. We never found any remains, so those gnarly, huge feet must've gone down the hatch too.
Enough ornithology, this is a food blog after all, and since we didn't poach one of our Three Sons, I will focus on a fabulous Lobster Pasta that I made for Dan on Father's Day. My own egg chicks and I went off to the grocery store and had them steam up three lobsters for us and then hied away home to cook them up. It was a lot of labor to crack and pick out the lobster meat and I made a mountain of pots, but luckily my two daughters incorporated dish washing and other kitchen labors as our Father's Day present to our patriarch.
Luscious Lobster Pasta
3 medium (1.5 lb.) lobsters, steamed
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 bunch garlic scapes, finely chopped (or scallions)
3 large stalks celery, finely chopped
4 Tbsp. butter
1 handful basil leaves, slivered (I have purple and green garden basil which made it very colorful)
1 lb. cooked pasta
Salt and pepper to taste
Remove meat from lobsters, chop coarsely and refrigerate until later. I don't personally like the green liver, but you could add that if you enjoy it. I did add the red roe from the female lobster in our mix. Removing lobster meat requires hand strength, good cracking tools (and a handy mallet for the big claws), as well as a hot, soapy shower afterwards for the prep cook.
I saved the lobster shells, clipped of the feathery gills and eye stalks and placed them in a stock pot with water to cover. I brought this to a boil, then simmered it for 1 hour for a nice lobster broth to add to my pasta sauce, with plenty of stock leftover to freeze.
Heat heavy sauce pan. Add olive oil and heat. Add in garlic scapes and stir 2 minutes. Add celery and saute another 3-4 minutes, or until it is softened. Add 1-1/2 cups lobster stock and bring to boil. Lower heat and simmer until it is reduced by half. Through in butter to melt. Add reserved lobster meat and basil and just heat through. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook up pasta and when it is al dente, drain and toss it into lobster sauce. Serve immediately.
Serves 6.
I am submitting this elegant, if laborious and therefore reserved for special occasions, pasta dish to the weekly Presto Pasta Nights event, started by Ruth of Once Upon a Feast, and hosted this week by Katerina of Daily Unadventures in Cooking.
Looking forward to another roundup of great pasta dishes after today's deadline. Dan certainly loved this recipe!

I would gladly package up and mail you OUR pileated woodpecker (who strikes terror into our hearts whenever we see him; remember: we live in a LOG home). I laughed when I read that Dan would like to lure one. Let me know when he's successful so I can stop doing whatever it is that makes ours love our woods.
The lobster pasta looks absolutely delicious.

Remains of gunman claimed for burial
Associated Press
HARTFORD -- The body of the man who killed 26 people at a Connecticut elementary school has been claimed for burial.
State Medical Examiner Wayne H. Carver II told the Hartford Courant the remains of Adam Lanza were claimed several days ago by someone who wanted to remain anonymous.
A spokeswoman at Carver's office told The Associated Press she could not release details about the status of Lanza's remains.
The 20-year-old Lanza killed 20 first-graders and six educators at the Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14. He also killed his mother in their Newtown home before going on the rampage and then committing suicide.
A private funeral was held earlier this month in New Hampshire for his mother, Nancy Lanza.
Police have not offered a motive for the killings.
