Swan shock fancied Mullinahone to reach final
Glanbia South SHC semi-final
Carrick Swan 0-17
Mullinahone 0-12
When these two sides met earlier in the league section of the Glanbia championship, Swan emerged as victors courtesy of a last minute goal. In that game there was really nothing at stake and both teams played under strength sides. It was a fine open game with lots of goals and plenty of good hurling from the young players on each side.
On Friday night last in Kilsheelan both sides again clashed in the semi-final. The game was again close but this time while Swan's younger contingent stepped up to the mark, many of Mullinahone's younger brigade were marked absent in spirit if not in body. This was no exhibition game but a somewhat tense affair in which grit and determination went a long way. The game suffered as a spectacle because of the absence of goals but the closeness of the scoring throughout made up for this.
Outsiders coming into the game, in the eyes of many, Swan fought for every ball from No. 15 all the way back to No. 1.
None exemplified these sterling qualities more that Gerry Walsh at corner back whose spirited challenges for the ball were an inspiration to his team mates. At the other end of the field full forward Stephen Hahessy, more renowned as a footballer, also put himself about to great effect.
Perhaps it is significant that both these players played well in areas of the field where Mullinahone's big two Paul Curran and Eoin Kelly operated. While both played well, they were not in a position to dominate the game. Kelly scored 0-10 of Mullinahone's total with the other two points coming from a line ball and from one of their midfielders. None of the other Mullinahone forwards scored from play.
At the other end Paul Curran defended well but was too close to his own goal to set Kelly free at the other end with long clearances. The Swan half forward line of O'Hanlon, Reade and Diffly were also adept at picking off points from long distance and didn't bother Curran or his goalkeeper Sean Foxe too much. In the tactical battle it was Swans who came out on top as basically they controlled the middle sections of the field.
Mullinahone began with an Eoin Kelly point from a free in the first minute. Keith Delahunty was also in early action booking both the Mullinahone corner back and the Swan corner forward after a scuffle. On six minutes Eoin Kelly had a point from the centre forward position but a minute later Stephen Hahessy pointed when he received from Paul Diffly. Two minutes later Eddie Carey pointed for Mullinahone but a wandering Hahessy pointed for Swan after 12 minutes.
Sub used - Keith Walsh
Mullinahone: Seanie Foxe, Martin Costello, Paul Curran, Niall Cronin, Philip O'Shea, Niall Curran, Shane O'Brien, Eddie Carey, Kevin Bolger, Sean Curran, Ned Tobin, Donal Cody, Eoin Kelly, A J Cronin, Kevin Walzer. Sub used - Edwin O'Meara
On 13 minutes Eoin Kelly pointed from half way. Kieran Reade saw yellow and Eoin Kelly put Mullinahone three points ahead. Reade himself hit back with a point and after 17 minutes Danny O'Hanlon a Swan free. Another O'Hanlon free had the sides level after 19 minutes. Two minutes later he pointed again and M.J. Walsh pointed as Swan gained in confidence.
On 27 minutes another O'Hanlon free put them three points up having been three points down. Eoin Kelly pointed a long free but within a minute Stephen Hahessy replied.
In added time, Eoin Kelly pointed another long distance free but in the next two minutes Paul Diffly scored two very important points for Swan.
Half time: Carrick Swan 0-11, Mullinahone 0-7.
Swan began the second half well with an O'Hanlon point from a free. Sean Curran suffered an injury after four minutes but remained on the field. Two minutes later Ned Tobin pointed from a line ball and two minutes later again Kelly pointed a free to cut the gap to a goal.
At this stage, Gerry Walsh was defending really well for Swan. After ten minutes Danny O'Hanlon pointed a free to put Swan four points up. A minute later we got a hint that it might not be Mullinahone's night. One of the Mullinahone forwards appeared to be fouled but the free went to Swan and resulted in a point for Danny O'Hanlon. The gap was now five points when another Kelly point at this stage would have cut it to three.
Edwin O'Meara came on for Mullinahone and when Eoin Kelly pointed a free for a foul on himself after 14 minutes, Mullinahone were up to 0-10. Kevin Lanigan was yellow carded for Swan. We had then 10 scoreless minutes with Danny O'Hanlon missing a 65. On 24 minutes the gap was down to three points when Kelly pointed yet another free. O'Hanlon (free) and Kelly (65) exchanged points in the next three minutes while it was Kieran Reade who was sent up to point another Swan 65 on the stroke of full time.
Again in added time Paul Diffly pointed to leave the final score Carrick Swan 0-17, Mullinahone 0-12.
It was a deserved win for Swan's spirit. Perhaps, their good minors of a few years ago are now coming of age. They looked a well balanced team and the win over Mullinahone will give them confidence. This may have been Swan's first win over Mullinahone in the knockout stages of the senior hurling championship since the late 1990s or possibly ever.
Swan began with Brian Grace replacing Darren Fahy in the published lineout. They also introduced Keith Walsh during the second half. The presence of Dinny Cahill in the background was also noted. Swan will be a handful for anyone in the "Glanbia" final whenever it takes place.
Mullinahone's supporters will be disappointed. Too many of their players seemed to expect victory to come to them rather than going out to win it for themselves. Their mentors didn't react to obvious deficiencies in areas of the field. Perhaps, they will respond with an improved showing in the county championship. Early in the season the odds on an all Carrick final would have been high. Now they are certainly considerably lower.
Carrick Swan: Tom Kennedy, John Walsh, Alan O'Sullivan, Gerry Walsh, Martin Russell, Kevin Lanigan, Brian Grace, M J Walsh Johnny Grace, Danny O'Hanlon, Kieran Reade, Paul Diffly, A P Ryan, Stephen Hahessy, Dwayne Fogarty.

[Trigger Warning for non-consensual touching]
Normally I enjoy reading the Oatmeal, but this recent comic is full of problems.
So, first of all the joke of the comic obviously relies on homophobia and assumed heterosexuality for it to be funny. We are supposed to realize that no heterosexual man would approach another man in this way.
It assumes heterosexuality because I would wager that homosexual male couples do approach each other in this way, and get the reaction the "ladyfriend" is giving in this comic (the only person whom I would allow to hug me from behind is my partner).
But the comic is also an assertion of male power over women. One of the manifestations of power is being able to access others in a variety of ways. Marilyn Frye writes in the chapter "Some Reflections on Separatism and Power" from The Politics of Reality:
Differences of power are always manifested in asymmetrical access… Total power is unconditional access; total powerlessness is being unconditionally accessible. The creation and manipulation of power is constituted of the manipulation and control of access.
Frye provides a number of examples of how power allows differential access, and we can think about how different kinds of power grant different kinds of access. For example, in business environments bosses have access to employee emails and can track employee activity online whereas employees do not have similar access to their bosses' use of the internet.
In this comic, we see that the man has access to a woman physically and he expects her to react in a welcoming manner. When he tries the same method of gaining access to a man, however, he does not expect a warm welcoming reaction. So the man expects to have access to his "ladyfriends" in a way he does not expect to have access to his "manfriends."
This is actually really troubling. There are many reasons that a person might not want to be "surprised" with "a hug from behind." For many rape or assault survivors this could be really triggering. Even for those who have not experienced an assault, but nevertheless fear one, it could also be traumatic. Furthermore, reaching around to hug someone from behind puts the onus on them to reject your advances rather than taking on the responsibility of seeking consent to the activity.

The Mephisto Cat not only managed to complete the course (FINALLY!), but Placed 3rd in Class on the 2012 edition of the Three Bridge Fiasco. Here are a few pictures taken on race Day.
For a detailed race recap (Including pictures, and a video of my finish -sailing backwards... ) you can go the the Three Bridge Fiasco thread here:
Picture 1.- A Pearson Triton ('Darwind') heading towards Red Rock. 'Darwind' is now in very PINK livery and has become quite active in Bay Racing. The skipper plans a circumnavigation next year to raise funds to benefit Breast Cancer Research.
Picture 2.- Following the Spinnaker... These guys covered much more ground that we did, but would re-join the Mephisto Cat at the Bay Bridge at the same time later in the day.
Picture 3.- The fleet rounding Red Rock. The great majority of those boats are faster than the Mephisto Cat. And they are coming after us! (fortunately they had lighter winds tha we did.)
Picture 4.- Spotting 'Jessica Rabbit' following her spinnaker.
Picture 5.- Heading home at the end of a very good day... This is not a bad place to call home. (This is the Sunset picture; - it refuses to obey & go to the very end of the picture series where it is intended to go!!!)

I have been waiting patiently for a few weeks to share all my Christmas frivolity. I was off work today and spent the day resting and looking at my lights. And my trees. All 4 of them. I love chilling with the holiday Pandora and something hot to drink. I know these days will FLY by, so I'm taking it all in.
Yes, I'm older than 12. But these are so comfortable. I bought a one-suit zip up thing for Pajama day at school. I made sure I got one that I would actually wear in my real life, not just my school life.
Aerosol whip cream. I totally fell for that "oil or cream??" commercial. Today, this is me NOT caring about whether it's Paleo or low sugar or healthy. It's got milk. That's calcium. And Chocolate, which is a plant, therefore it's a salad with calcium. Winning.
Happy frolicking Friday, y'all.

She shakes her head without making eye contact. "No."
Something's wrong. The girl sitting next to me has turned into the exact opposite of the chick I nearly made love to.
She shakes her head. "It's been a long day. I really should get some rest."
"Okay." I adjust my seat and turn the key in the ignition.
"Do you regret it?" Her gentle voice catches me off guard.
I leave the gear in neutral and turn to face her. "Not one bit," I tell her hoarsely.
She smiles. "I'm a little scared," she admits eventually.
"Of me?"
She shakes her head. "No."
"Then?" I prompt.
She looks away. "Sex," she whispers.
"Which part?" I ask.
She shakes her head. "I'm not sure. Maybe all of it."
I place my hand over hers. "It isn't scary if it's with someone you love."
"I'm sorry," she whispers.
"Ruining our moment."
Her soft voice tugs at my heart. "You haven't ruined anything at all."
I caress her lips and wish I could kiss her again. My hand brushes hers when I shift the truck into gear and I'm haunted by another image of Lana being forcefully taken away from me. I move my hand away quickly. I need to get some sleep. I'm probably exhausted and hallucinating as a result. That must be it.
"I'd love to do this every night," I tell her.
"Get drenched on the promenade?" she asks
"If it means snuggling up next to you afterwards — then hell yeah."
She laughs. "You make me feel like the sexiest woman on earth."
I'm glad she's forgotten about her earlier apprehension. "You are the sexiest woman I've ever met."
"That's because you bring out the best in me."
Slowly the part of me that Cora destroyed after betraying my family is sprouting back to life.
"And you're the best thing that ever happened to me."
She shakes her head without making eye contact. "No."

Your Tattoo Might Have Printer Ink or Car Paint in It
|Emily Pratt wasn't impressed when she heard about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration probe into the potentially deleterious effects of tattoo ink. She would have shrugged to show how little she cared, but she was a bit sore from the tattoo machine that had just been smacking away at her left forearm.
This was her seventh inking, after all: a wrap-around bouquet of six roses in shades of yellow and red rendered at Embassy Tattoos in Washington. "The fact that I'm here," the 22-year-old said, recovering in the waiting room near a stuffed mongoose, "says I'm not worried about the side effects."
But the FDA is, as are some experts in the field. The concern has grown with the explosion in the body art's popularity and the availability of tools and inks online. The industry is growing about 9 percent a year, a rate research company IBISWorld projects will make it a $1.1 billion business by 2020.
"Even the most reputable places can't guarantee the safety of ink," said Arisa Ortiz, a dermatologist and assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego, and co-author of a 2011 article that cited reports by researchers in Spain, Germany and the U.S. who discovered substances including mercury and charcoal in tattoo dyes.
Industrial-Grade Colors
In the U.S., the inks are regulated as cosmetic products. The FDA can screen them before they hit the market but has rarely done so, according to its website, because of "competing public-health priorities and a previous lack of evidence of safety problems specifically associated with these pigments."
The agency does investigate when it receives complaints, and these have been on the rise: Hundreds have been filed since 2004 compared with just five between 1988 to 2003, reporting reactions including itching or scarring or inflamed skin even years after tattooing occurred.
One issue could be the proliferation of do-it-yourself equipment and inexpensive dyes, said "Sailor" Bill Johnson, vice president of the National Tattoo Association. "I've been using the same product for nearly 40 years and have never had a problem with it."
Scientists at the FDA's National Center for Toxicological Research in Jefferson, Arkansas, are exploring several aspects of ink's impact once it's been under the skin for a while, including how the chemicals metabolize in the body.
"Many pigments used in tattoo inks are industrial-grade colors suitable for printers' ink or automobile paint," the agency says on its website. Chemists have discovered some yellows break down when exposed to sunlight or certain enzymes, though it hasn't been determined whether this is toxic. The FDA hasn't said when its ink study will be done.
By some estimates, about 30 percent of the U.S. population and one in four millennials sports at least one tattoo, though, according to the Pew Research Center, the majority have theirs in places that can be hidden from view.
"Tattooing has become mainstream," said Diane Pacom, a University of Ottawa sociologist. "The millennials, they're doing it as a statement of belonging to the system -- because everybody has tattoos now."
Including many filled with regret. Tattoo removal is also a growing business, with IBISWorld predicting it will be an $80-million-a-year industry in 2018, up from $40 million in 2008.
Gen Z
Would negative findings by the FDA greatly dim tattooing's allure? Lars Krutak, a tattoo-history expert at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, doesn't believe so. After all, millions still smoke despite the risks. But what the FDA discovers, he said, may lead to "better regulation, quality standards, labeling and even the reclassification of tattooing ink itself."
The tastes of Generation Z may determine whether the U.S. has reached peak tattoo. Coming along behind the millennials, this cohort includes kids born from the mid-90s to the mid-2000s. According to researchers, Gen Z is more cautious and more driven to be successful after seeing older siblings struggle to find work and live with their parents in record numbers.
Anna Felicity Friedman, a tattoo historian who estimates 50 percent of her body is covered in ink, said no matter what the FDA concludes, the U.S. "may be at a tipping point in tattoo popularity." Young people she knows "are consciously deciding to remain untattooed, either to be rebellious, since tattoos are no longer a mark of rebellion, or to avoid being deemed a fashion victim."
Jason Recker, a 15-year-old from Peoria, Illinois, has already done some research. "You don't see a lot of tattoos on lawyers and engineers and teachers," he said, considering future careers. "I don't think I'll want to get a tattoo when I'm old enough."

Trauma training, reality TV all in a day's work for Jessica Griffin, Psy.D
By Catherine Robertson Souter
When a television producer first asked Jessica Griffin, PsyD, if she would consider taking an on-air consultant role on an upcoming reality show, she scoffed at the idea. An associate professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at UMass Medical School and executive director of UMASS Medical School's Child Trauma Training Center with a private clinical practice in the Worcester area, Griffin did not see herself as the reality-show type. Still, with some prodding from Hollywood and much discussion with colleagues, friends and family, Griffin decided to jump in. She first served as a consulting psychologist on the show, "Seven Year Switch," [More]

If anyone else had good things happen to them I would immediately compare myself to them and be jealous and resentful.
Never grateful for what I had, it was never enough. I always wanted more.
Even with people I thought I loved, I felt this competitive nature about it.
Like everyone else was always to going to get ahead and I wasn't.
Get ahead where?
I don't even know now.
I wanted people to be happy, but not happier than me.
I wanted good things for others, but not more than me.
Now I feel tremendous joy when I see others grow and succeed.
I have put myself aside and I strive to help others get what they want out of life.
Where does this change come from?
It comes from the knowledge that when others succeed, I succeed.
When others awaken, I awaken.
We are all connected.
It comes from a deep belief that God wants the best for me and that my purpose on this planet is to help turn the lights on in other people.
God has granted me with a gift of being able to heal others hearts.
God will ensure that I am where I am meant to be as long I take the path suggested and I use my gift to do God's will.
And I have a solid knowing that I am right where I am supposed to be.

Hi all.
This is the first introductory post for the DevInterface's blog and we would like to make an overview of the main arguments that we'll deal over time.
So, we'll use this blog as a communication point between us and the readers, and we hope to provide lots of interesting arguments.
We plan to provide tutorials, tips, snippets about the main technologies we'll work on.
We'll show our projects, we'll describe our opensource works and the roadmap to DevInterface.
We talk about Roadmap to DevInterface because, as you can see in the main site's pages, we are independent professionals/employee and the DevInterface is a side project for now.
This because find jobs and customers that economically sustain us isn't so easy, so DevInterface will be a reason to make our job better.
So, we hope you'll follow our blog, making it a landmark for all us developers.
The DevInterface team.

Did you know that there are just as many hospital admissions for children being bitten by dogs as there are children involved in near drownings or road accidents?
Up to 82% of children who are bitten by dogs are actually bitten in the family home by their own dog or by a dog that is known to the child. 7 out of 10 children bitten by dogs are aged between 0-4 years of age. Unfortunately the majority of these bites result in head, face and neck injuries.
Being a responsible pet owner means that we need to ensure that children and dogs can live happily and safely with each other in the family home.
We need to teach children how and when to interact with dogs and how to read a dog's body language.
Actively supervise any interactions children have with dogs or securely separate.

A few weeks ago my bestie JG and I got away. It wasn't terrible. When we weren't chillin' with a cold drink by the A.R.P., hiking, shopping, or getting our nails did - we were in bed savoring room service and watching oscar nominated movies on demand. She is a mom of 5 and deserved this luxurious getaway. I joined her.
PS - happy belated bday sweet JG.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Shaqquan Aaron scored 15 points and Southern California rallied over the final 8:49 to beat Omaha 82-72 Sunday after trailing most of the game.
Chimezie Metu had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Jordan McLaughlin added 12 points for the Trojans (2-0).
Marcus Tyus scored a career-high 33 points and Tre'Shawn Thurman had 20 points and 14 rebounds for the Mavericks (1-1), who were trying to beat a Pac-12 team for the first time. They hit eight 3-pointers, one less than they had in a season-opening win at UC Santa Barbara.
The Mavs led by six early in the second half when the Trojans got loose for three consecutive dunks, two by Metu and one from De'Anthony Melton to tie the game 49-all.
Aaron's 3-pointer tied the game for the last time at 53-all. From there, USC closed the game on a 31-19 run.
Tyus and Thurman did their best to keep the Mavs in it, combining to score 17 of their final 19 points.
The Mavs opened the game on a 16-7 run, with Tyus scoring 12 of their points, including three 3-pointers.
USC answered with a 14-5 spurt that tied the game at 21-all. The Mavs came right back and outscored USC 12-5 for a 33-26 lead.
Aaron keyed eight unanswered points for the Trojans, who took a 34-33 lead on a free throw by Charles Buggs. Thurman closed the half with a jumper and layup to send Omaha into the locker room ahead 37-34.

Featuring interviews with Drs Charles E Geyer Jr and Tari A King. (Video Program)
This activity is intended for breast and general surgeons, surgical oncologists, surgical fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of breast cancer.
Breast cancer continues to be one of the most rapidly evolving fields in medical oncology. Historically, surgery has been the primary mode of treatment for localized breast cancer. The complexity of the diagnostic, surgical and medical management of this disease, however, has escalated because of numerous advances in novel technologies and available adjunctive therapies. Hence, the multifaceted treatment of breast cancer now requires the input of an interdisciplinary group of expert care providers, and this paradigm shift has created the challenge of ensuring that knowledge of major clinical advances in local and systemic therapy is effectively disseminated among all members of the cross-functional team. To bridge the gap between research and patient care, Breast Cancer Update for Surgeons uses one-on-one interviews with leading breast cancer investigators to efficiently distill the latest research developments so they may be incorporated into clinical practice as appropriate. By providing access to cutting-edge data and expert perspectives, this CME program assists breast surgeons in the formulation of up-to-date clinical management strategies.
Research To Practice is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

How Leg Up Farm Got Started…
Back in 1997, Louie Castriota and his wife were planning to open a small therapeutic riding facility that would merge their love of children and animals into something that would benefit the entire community. He wasn't sure where or how to get started and had just begun the planning stages of his dream, when six months into it his daughter Brooke was diagnosed with a mitochondrial disease and their vision quickly expanded to an ultimate therapy center. After more than 13 years of hard work and dedication, Leg Up Farm opened in 2010 at its current location on North Sherman Street in Mount Wolf, just north of York, PA.
The mission of Leg Up Farm is to enrich the lives of individuals with special needs and their families through support and customized programs.
For starters, Leg Up Farm is unique in that it's pediatric therapy center is the only facility in the country to provide children impacted by special needs with physical, occupational, aquatic and speech therapy, in addition to therapeutic horseback riding, counseling services, nutrition services, and educational and recreational programming under one roof. And, with the Able-Services program, they now offer a continuum of care to individuals up to 59 years of age.
Leg Up Farm serves more than 700 individuals every year. They primarily serve York County, but they also work with Lancaster, Adams and Dauphin Counties as well as northern Maryland. Something very important to note, which was a shock to me, is that within a 50-mile radius of Leg Up Farm there are approximately 50,000 kids who have been diagnosed with a special need. This shows how vital their services are to our community and beyond.
If you would ask any of their clients (whether child or adult or even parent, family member or friend) what their favorite thing is about Leg Up Farm, you would get a resounding answer of "the environment". And that was not by mistake. When Louie set out on his mission to create the ultimate therapy center, he took great care in the details. He knew that a sterile, clinical environment is not ideal when working with individuals with special needs or their families. That type of setting can make anyone uncomfortable and want to retreat quickly. (Think how you feel the moment you step into a doctor's office.)
So, he wanted the environment at Leg Up Farm to be very engaging. Basically the idea is that kids think they are playing; by feeding fish in the therapeutic Koi pond, playing on the barrier free playground, driving a truck in Matthew's town, riding horses and so much more. But in reality their therapy is wrapped around that play. They can meet their goals and make a ton of progress without even really realizing it. Parents love it because they get to watch their kids progressing while having fun and being happy, and their other children can come along and play right along with them, and they can even sit in the atrium or any number of places outside and relax while their child is in therapy. There's really nothing else like it.
If you have a friend or family member who would like more information about receiving services at Leg Up Farm, you can simply call 717-266-9294 and ask to speak to their intake coordinator, Carmen Iosif-Clark or email her directly and ask for an evaluation. After the evaluation is completed on site, a plan of services will be developed. Because Leg Up Farm is so unique in the services they offer and because they are a non-profit and do not cap how many Medicare recipients they accept into their programs, there is typically a waiting list which varies in length by service. Since reimbursement from the state is very low for Medicare recipients, they hold many fundraising events throughout the year to help offset the costs while providing necessary services to their clients.
Events include:
Leg Up Farm MudFest Series.
This is a three race trail run series, held in the Spring. The first race is an 8K held at Perrydell Farm and Dairy. The second race is a 5K held at Brown's Orchards in their Pick Your Own Orchard. And the third race is a 5K and Kid's fun run held right at Leg Up Farm. Proceeds benefit Leg Up Farm.
Leg Up Farm Car & Cycle Show.
Leg Up Farm partners with the Mustang Club of Central PA to host a car show in June. The show includes awards, food trucks, facility tours, kid' activities and more. Proceeds benefit Leg Up Farm.
Clash of the Clubs Golf Tournament.
Typically held in May, the Clash of the Clubs is a double flight shotgun tournament with one flight in the morning and one in the afternoon. This takes place at Cool Creek Golf Club and has always been a great day of fun, support and golf! Proceeds benefit Leg Up Farm.
Fall Fest at Leg Up Farm.
Fall Fest is the largest event held at Leg Up Farm. It's held each October and includes food trucks, craft vendors, kid's activities (including pumpkin decorating and a trick-or-treat trail), silent auction, equine demonstrations, open house, a free photo booth with the Moove In Self Storage cow mascot and more.
Fall Fest this year will be held on Saturday, October 15th from 9am-2pm. Parking for the event is located off site at Central York High School and Northeastern High School. Free shuttle service will take you to and from Leg Up Farm and the schools. Admission is free – be sure to join us!
A new and exciting venture this past year has been the addition of Leg Up Farmers Market. This market is a full service, all natural, organic grocery store that focuses on locally produced goods. The proceeds from the market directly benefit Leg Up Farm and Able Services. If you haven't been there yet, I highly recommend that you stop in. Not only will you find a huge variety, but you will be eating better quality foods and supporting a great cause at the same time.
When asked what everyone should know about Leg Up Farm, Maura Musselman, Development Specialist says, "When you think about it, everyone knows someone who has, or knows someone who knows someone who has a special need. And think about Autism now, specifically, and how common it has become." She continues, "We are not just your normal therapy center. It's engaging and fun and our clients love to be here. We are truly one-of-a-kind. It's the greatest place on earth!"
Leg Up Farm is always looking for volunteers. You can work in the barn, help with riding lessons, become a therapy aid, help with fundraising throughout the year and much more. If you're interested, you can learn more on their website and fill out an application to get started.
You can also pledge your support with a donation at any time. Because Leg Up Farm is a non-profit organization, they rely heavily on fundraisers and donations to bring their services to their client and the community. If you would like to donate to Leg Up Farm, you can stop by in person, donate online, attend, participate in or sponsor any or all of their fundraising events, shop at Leg Up Farmers Market or mail them a check or money order made payable to: Leg Up Farm, 4880 North Sherman Street, Mount Wolf, PA 17347-9637.
We, at Moove In Self Storage, have been partnering with Leg Up Farm for several years now. We sponsor their events, we help them with their storage needs at our Morgan Lane location in York, and at last year's Fall Fest we held a raffle to give away an iPad Mini to a random winner and also donated an iPad Mini to Leg Up Farm. This year we will have some great prizes once again – but you have to stop by to find out what they are! Plus, this year we will have an official "photo booth" along the Trick-or-Treat trail where you can have your photo or kid's photo professionally taken with our Cow mascot, then emailed to you directly. Leg Up Farm is doing great things for the kids and adults with special needs in our community, and we look forward to many years partnering with them!
And, if you're interested in partnering with Moove In Self Storage and want to learn more about our tenant and business referral programs where you can earn some moo-lah, contact us today!

Pulling through – and beyond
In the summer of 2006, 17-year-old Christoffer Lindhe lost both his legs and his left arm in a railway accident. However, this was not the end, but the start of something new. Something quite astonishing.
He woke up ten days after the accident, but it took a month before Christoffer gradually came to realize what had happened and how it would affect his life. This was naturally a really challenging period for a well-trained 17-year-old young man who had managed everything and was now told that he could not even move.
However, when lying in his hospital bed, he watched a TV documentary about Cameron Clapp, who had been in an identical accident but was now able to walk, drive a car and ski. This became a turning point for Christoffer who told himself, if he can, then I can. One year after the accident, he set himself the target of qualifying for the Paralympics in Beijing in 2008. He succeeded. Two years after the accident, Christoffer was standing on the starting blocks and, what is more, he also managed to beat the Swedish record!
Up to that point, Christoffer had been using socket prostheses for his legs and left arm, but he experienced significant problems with the prostheses:
"I had great many problems with my socket prostheses. I only have ten cm left of my left stump, so the prosthesis fell off all the time. My prosthetist and I tried every possible solution, but nothing worked. It was quite dangerous; all of a sudden, the leg could fall off at any time. So I didn't really have any opportunity to learn how to walk again."
Christoffer also experienced problems with pain, sweating and chafing.
"During the summer, it all became too much, so I couldn't use the prostheses."
After Beijing, however, the time had finally come to install the OPRA™ Implant System for one of his legs and his left arm. The surgery was carried out by Dr. Rickard Brånemark at Sahlgrenska Hospital in Gothenburg. This changed his life once again and Christoffer was able to start walking again.
"Without osseointegration, I wouldn't have been able to walk. The leg feels natural and more like a normal leg, a part of my body."
The new osseointegrated arm prosthesis has also enabled Christoffer to continue to live an active life.
After qualifying for his second Paralympics in London in 2012, Christoffer is now working on new ventures and goals. In 2013, he founded his own company, Lindhe Xtend, which develops advanced prostheses and accessories with the aim of helping amputees to have an opportunity to live with high quality of life.
The products have been launched in Scandinavia and Christoffer is now aiming for the US market. Please refer to lindheextend.com for more information.
"My arm feels like a normal arm. I have been able to take part in many different activities, such as canoeing, rowing and riding a quad bike. Things I couldn't do with a socket prosthesis."

With high speed home internet, cloud based productivity and collaboration tools, flexible employers and growing numbers of self employed people, home working is more popular than ever. But to do it right you need to set up a home office that's suited to your needs.
Your workspace
Whether you're working from home every day or only occasionally you need to have a space set aside where you can comfortably work. An appropriate desk and chair is important of course, but you should also think about the technological requirements.
Many of us like to use more than one screen. To do so you will need a computer which is capable of outputting to multiple displays. Often desktop computers will already be able to handle this, if not it will be necessary to purchase a new graphics card. All laptops will be able to use an additional display in addition to the built-in screen, and some models may even support two so you could go for a triple screen setup.
Accessing the internet and your home network is another consideration. Wi-Fi is an easy way to get connected but if the signal is weak it can be very slow and unstable. Wi-Fi boosters can be used to extend the signal, however powerline networking adapters which transfer data over the electricity circuits are an easy way to install a wired connection without trailing wires around your home. Ideally though your computer will be right next to the broadband router so a network cable can be used for the best possible performance.
For safety you should also purchase surge protected adapters for all equipment to prevent electrical damage. These are not expensive and could ultimately save a great deal of money if they protect your computers and other hardware from a harmful surge.
Choosing the right broadband
Home workers should not usually need a broadband service that's radically different from a regular home connection though there are a few things to keep in mind which may affect your choice of provider and service.
- Upload speed
While download speed is usually the headline figure for broadband, upload rate can be very important if the connection is used for work as you may need to do things like transfer large files to clients or colleagues, upload data to the cloud and use remote desktop access to control a computer over the internet.
Fibre optic broadband provides a significantly quicker upload speed than ADSL so should be your first choice if upload rate is vital.
- Support
Look at the support offered by a prospective ISP. Some will provide 24/7 lines, others may be limited to business hours and closed at weekends. Overseas call centres are common as well, so check this if you'd prefer a UK based support team.
- Static IP addresses
A typical home broadband connection uses a dynamic IP address, which means the string of numbers which identifies your connection can change. But a static IP is permanently assigned, and may be desirable for additional security or operating a home server. Some providers may charge a little extra for a static IP or only supply this service on request.
- Data use caps
Use an unlimited broadband service whenever possible. It's a lot easier to run over a usage cap if the connection is used for work as well, and exceeding the limits can mean extra charges or service restrictions.
Going mobile
One of the great things about home working is the flexibility it gives you, and that includes the option to take your work outside the home when required.
Cloud storage and apps make working at different locations seamless. By storing files on a service like Dropbox you can instantly access the latest versions from any computer. And cloud-based apps like those offered by Google Drive or Microsoft Office 365 allow you to carry on working without having to install the software first.
But what about internet access? Mobile broadband can be really helpful as it's capable of providing a fast connection wherever you go, so long as there is a signal. 4G mobile connectivity can now be very fast, with download rates quicker than ADSL home broadband and an upload speed that matches many fibre optic services.
If it's only required occasionally though, and you'd rather not spend any money, you might be able to use public Wi-Fi hotspots. These are free in many cafes, pubs, restaurants, hotels and other businesses, plus there are nationwide networks which many of us can already use for no charge. The O2 Wi-Fi network is free to anyone, Sky offers its Cloud Wi-Fi service free to all Sky broadband subscribers, and BT broadband users get free nationwide BT Wi-Fi access.
If you are going to make use of public Wi-Fi though you should bump up your security as these connections can be monitored. It's a smart idea to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) when accessing any confidential data or services so your communications are encrypted. Many businesses provide these to employees for connecting to work systems, or you can use one of the numerous paid-for VPN services available for just a few pounds a month.

text: Changing the Rules archived 12/02/2011 See All News Week 12 First down at the 55-yard line November 27, 2011 The dimensions of a National Football League field have remained unchanged since the league's founding in 1920. The field measures 53 1/3 yards wide and 100 yards long between goal lines and also includes a pair of ten-yard deep end zones. There has been a change, however, to the size of the field since professional football's birth in 1892. When William "Pudge" Heffelfinger was first paid $500 to play for the Allegheny Athletic Association, the length of the field was actually 110 yards long and included a 55-yard line. Also, at that time the end zones were essentially nonexistent. The goal line represented the end of the field. It was not until 1912 that the length of the field was changed to 360 feet (120 yards), while the width remained the same (53 1/3 yards). The field was 100 yards from goal line to goal line, with ten-yard end zones, the exact same size of a football field today. 2011 NFL Rule Book Excerpt Rule 1- The Field Section 1 - Dimensions PLAYING LINES The game shall be played upon a rectangular field, 360 feet in length and 160 feet in width. The lines at each end of the field are termed End Lines. Those on each side are termed Sidelines. Goal Lines shall be established in the field 10 yards from and parallel to each end line. The area bounded by goal lines and sidelines is known as the Field of Play. The areas bounded by goal lines, end lines, and sidelines are known as the End Zones. Week 11 3rd down and five…time to punt Nov. 20, 2011 2011 NFL Rule Book Excerpt Rule 3 - Definitions Section 7 - Down SERIES OF DOWNS Article 2 A Series of Downs is the four consecutive charged scrimmage downs allotted to the offensive team during which it must advance the ball to a yard line called the necessary line in order to retain possession. NECESSARY LINE The Necessary Line is always 10 yards in advance of the spot of the snap (which starts the series) except when a goal line is less than 10 yards from this spot. In that case the necessary line is the goal line. The number of downs and the distance to gain a first down has not always been the same. When pro football began in 1892, the offensive squad had to only gain five yards within three downs to gain a first down. In 1906 the distance then changed to 10 yards in the allotted three down allowance. Finally in 1912 a fourth down was added. The game of professional football has changed drastically in the last 50 years. Oddly enough, the number of first downs logged by a team in each game has changed very little. Below is a ten-year sample of first down performance going back to the 1940 NFL season. Season Season Average of First Downs Gained Per Team Average Per Game 1940 126 11.5 1950 204 17.0 1960 201 16.75 1970 221 15.8 1980 305 19.1 1990 284 17.8 2000 295 18.4 2010 303 18.9 Week 10 Scoring Nov. 13, 2011 NFL Rule 11, Section 1, Article 2 Types of Scoring Plays. Points are scored as follows: (a) Touchdown: 6 points; (b) Field Goal: 3 points; (c) Safety: 2 points: (d) Successful Try after touchdown: 1 point (Field Goal or Safety) or 2 points (Touchdown) The values of scoring have undergone several changes since the birth of professional football in 1892. So much so that if the scoring values that were in place close to 110 years ago were still the standard, it would have a dramatic effect on the outcome of many of today's games. In fact, had an older scoring system been in place in the early '70s, the outcome of Super Bowl V would have been completely different. Baltimore Colts' first-year kicker Jim O'Brien (right) booted a 32-yard field goal in the waning seconds of that title matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. His kick broke a tie game and gave the Colts a 16-13 victory for their first Super Bowl championship. Had the scoring values from 1892 been in place, the Colts would have needed to score a touchdown and convert their extra point just to tie the game. Super Bowl V Score TDs 1892 Value PATs 1892 Value FGs 1892 Value Safety 1892 Value 1892 Total Baltimore Colts - 16 2 8 1 2 1 5 0 0 15 Dallas Cowboys - 13 1 4 1 2 2 10 0 0 16 Pro football scoring values in 1892: TD = 4 pts; PAT = 2 pts; Field Goal = 5 pts; Safety = 2 pts. Here are some of the changes to the game's rule book as it pertains to scoring. 1897 – Touchdown increased to 5 points; Point After Try reduced to 1 point 1904 – Field Goal reduced to 4 points 1909 – Field Goal reduced to 3 points 1912 – Touchdown increased to 6 points 1994 – Two-point conversion adopted by the NFL as option following a touchdown Each Sunday during the NFL season we examine one of the league rules that shape the game as we know it. Week 9 The Forward Pass Nov. 6, 2011 The forward pass has been a legal practice in the game of professional football since 1906. George "Peggy" Parratt of the Massillon (Ohio) Tigers holds the distinction as being the first man in pro football history to successfully complete a pass. Parratt hooked up with end Dan "Bullet" Riley against the combined Benwood-Moundsville, W. Va. team on Oct. 25 that year. The rule change to allow passing was actually predicated by the college rule book. Professional football at the time, mostly because there was no organized league, strictly adhered to the college rules of the day. At that time, however, the passing game did not resemble the air-it-out type of attack that teams operate today. In fact, the rules in place didn't really encourage the pass at all. To legally pass the ball, the thrower had to be at least five yards behind the line of scrimmage. The penalty if this rule was not adhered to: a turnover to the defense. The rules even stipulated that if a pass was incomplete and untouched by either team the ball would also turn over to the defense. 1906 Spalding's Official Foot Ball Guide excerpt Rule 14 (a) A player may throw, pass, or bat the ball in any direction except toward his opponents' goal. PENALTY Loss of 5 yards. EXCEPTION (1) One forward pass shall be allowed to each scrimmage, provided such pass be made by a player who was behind the line of scrimmage when the ball was put in play, and provided the ball, after being passed forward, does not touch the ground before being touched by a player of either side. PENALTY (1) If a forward pass be made by a player who was not behind the line of scrimmage when the ball was put in play, the ball shall go to the opponents on the spot where the pass was made. If the ball, after being passed forward, touches the ground before being touched by a player of either side, it shall go to the opponents on the spot where the pass was made. Many tweaks to the passing rules occurred over the years since the practice was legalized. The biggest may have been in 1933 when the National Football League, which had formed in 1920 and had operated under the college rules, finally developed their own rule book. That year the league made provisions to allow a forward pass from anywhere behind the line of scrimmage as opposed to the five-yard buffer requisite. This change grew out of a controversial touchdown pass thrown by Chicago Bears fullback Bronko Nagurski in the 1932 indoor playoff game that decided the '32 league title. In that game against the Portsmouth Spartans, Nagurski faked a run towards the line and then quickly threw a TD pass to Red Grange. The Spartans contested that Nagurski was not five yards behind the line when he fired the pass. The play stood and the Bears later added a safety to put the final touches on their 9-0 victory. At the league meetings the next off season, Spartans coach George "Potsy" Clark lobbied for a change in the rules to allow passes anywhere behind the line of scrimmage as he argued "because Nagurski will do it anyway!" 1933 NFL Rule Book Excerpt Forward Pass The passer may pass the ball from any point behind the line of scrimmage.

UK Music - open letter to Arts Council; making the case for popular music
09 Apr 2018
An open letter to Darren Henley, Chief Executive, Arts Council that was submitted as evidence, as part of Arts' Council's 'conversation' about it's 10-year funding strategy 2020 – 2030, in which it fairly challenges the organisation for its disproportionate funding of classical and opera, to the detriment of other, more popular genres (and which draw a larger audience and export revenue share of the UK music industry).
In fact, for the current period 2018 – 2022, Opera is to receive 62% of the total Arts Council funding available for music (£228,719,452), whereas Jazz will receive just 2% (£6,955,760). In total, only 8 per cent of music funding is awarded to bids related to popular music. In short, for every £1 awarded to popular music, opera gets £8.
This letter makes the case for increased funding for popular music, and suggests how those currently well-supported organisations ought to be encouraged to creatively engage with corporations and high net worth individuals in pursuit of patronage, and rely/ depend upon Arts Council funding less.
It also proposes the organisation support initiatives to improve music education, social mobility, and the industry's ecosystem.

We just got the word today that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) wants to license my radio series Pete Seeger: How Can I Keep From Singing? to run on the CBC-2 program, Inside the Music.
This is a huge deal. As I understand it, CBC-2 was, until last September, a "serious" music channel. Recently it underwent a format change and is focusing on Canadian Artists, with the occasional foray into Americans such as Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and now, apparently, Pete Seeger. Unlike our U.S. public radio stations, each of which chooses its programming, CBC-2 is broadcast nationwide.
When I get broadcast dates, I'll post them here and on peteseeger.org.

Profanations of churches not theft but attack on religious freedom
Cardinal Antonio Canizares of Toledo, Spain, broke his silence this week and spoke out against the profanations of churches in various towns throughout the archdiocese and warned that the motive behind the attacks is not thievery but rather "an attack on religious freedom at its most intimate core."The cardinal made his comments known through a message read during Mass at the Cathedral of Toledo on Sunday. The cardinal was not present at the Mass but instead was in the town of Fuensalida re-consecrating a church there that had recently been profaned.
The cardinal denounced the recent string of "similar profanations of robbery and insult of the Blessed Sacrament," saying there have been "too many for us to remain silent."
According to the cardinal the motive behind the profanations is not robbery, as the objects stolen were not of much value, but rather "a clear intention to harm respect for that which is most holy in Church and in the world: Jesus Christ."
Cardinal Canizares called them "an attack on religious freedom in its most intimate core; a crime against the fundamental and inalienable right to religious freedom."
Resulta que están proliferando las profanaciones a iglesias católicas en la archidiócesis de Toledo. El Cardenal Cañizares ya ha dicho que, como los profanadores no se llevan cosas de mucho valor, el objeto de las profanaciones no es si no atacar el corazón de la libertad religiosa. Y que ha habido tantas que no va a permanecer callado.
Qué raro, qué poco se oye de esto en los medios de comunicación, ¿eh?

Solar-powered scheme launched in Dubai
Indian developer Pacific Real Estate Development has launched its first property venture in Dubai, a 28-storey green-minded scheme in Dubai.
Pacific Waterfront will be a mixed-use luxury development, in Tecom Media City, that utilises solar technology for most of its energy requirements.
Parvez Khan, founder, Pacific Real Estate Development, added: "It will be the lowest maintenance residential luxury apartment to invest in.
"Everything starting from the walkways to the gyms to the lights in the building will be maintained through solar technology hence the residents will not be paying a heavy maintenance that they do otherwise for most constructions here or in India."
Pacific Real estate development is also in the process of acquiring new projects in Dubai's Business Bay area and Dubai Sports City.
"We are very positive about the real estate market here. Everywhere in the world, the business environment is currently going through upheavals, but we are confident that Dubai will remain a key investment hub for serious property investors," added Khan.
