It's the most miserable time of the year...

Thanks as always to those few still reading and humouring my pitiful mutterings. It really does mean a lot. Back at some point next week with the usual end of year gubbins, despite Mr Vowl's best efforts to put the mockers on it.

Keep it foolish.

FBI Will Be Spying on Chats by 2014

Right now, (we think) the FBI does not really have the ability to peek into your Facebook/Yahoo chats right now, but soon the FBI says this could change.

By the end of the year, the FBI is hoping to have the ability to sniff online conversations (chats) that happen on the web by gaining access to high level servers and spying on your conversations.

Due to the Communications Assistance of Law Enforcement Act, chat rooms within the US can only be sniffed out by  a court order, or warrant. The FBI and other federal agencies are up against some pretty tough gigs lately – perverts all over the internet are running wild looking to trap minors into situations that could harm them.  Kids and adults are looking up recipes to make bombs and other harmful things.  Meth heads are scouring the internet looking to make recipes to cook meth every single day.

bad stuff

Thousands of people every day are searching for things the FBI are very interested in

Andrew Weissman, FBI attorney is putting bigtim pressure on cyber-crimnals in a recent press conference in DC, during this time he disclosed the following:

“The problem is where we are today. The way we communicate is really not limited to telephone nowadays and sort of the old fashioned picking up the phone and calling someone,” Weismann said.

Things like Gmail, Facebok and Reddit dominate our lives in this day in age, but there is no laws that allow law enforcement agencies to snoop in on this without a warrant.  The FBI really wants this, and they are working really hard to make it happen.

“You do have laws that say you need to keep things for a certain amount of time, but in the cyber realm you can have companies that keep things for five minutes,” he said. “You can imagine totally legitimate reasons for that, but you can also imagine how enticing that ability is for people who are up to no good because the evidence comes and it goes.” says Weissman.

Many other countries currently have the ability to snoop on chats, we are actually one of the few that don’t have the ability to do so.

“We don’t have the ability to go to court and say we need a court order that actually requires the recipient of that order to effectuate the intercept. Other countries have that and I think most people who are not lawyers sort of assume that’s what you’re getting when you go to court,” he said. “You think that you’re getting an order that says, ‘Recipient, you have to actually effectuate the communication.’ Well that’s not what you get. You get something that says that you have to provide technical assistance.”

Thrifting for Kid Clothes: Winter Edition

Thrifting for kid clothes is my obsession. I love a good deal, and even though their closets are stuffed to the brim, I just. can't. stop. buying. them. clothes. They seriously could go a month without needing their laundry washed.

For some reason, I never published this blog post. I just noticed it in the "drafts" today, so I figured I'd post it. Jonas is a lot smaller in these pics... he turned 9 mos. old today :)

I love this sleeper. I thrifted it back before Joel was born, but I've since lost how much I've paid for it.

A thrifted pair of black dress pants for 50c, a $1 green vest, and a thrifted black tie

Jonas is wearing a $1 fleece romper, while his older brother sports a 40c striped polo and thrifted navy blue khakis.

A 50c pair of Pooh blue jeans and a 50c Pooh shirt,
thrifted on two seaparate occasions.

I love, love, love this $2 Gymboree sleeper

A 50c Tiger Hockey shirt for my hockey lovin' toddler

a 40c onesie

A cute toddler in a thrifted dinosaur shirt

This long sleeved polo onesie was 50c

This next outfit is one of my favorites. It was actually thrifted on three separate occasions but work together! First, the red and grey pants were thrifted back before Joel was born. The "Leader of the pack" tee was a bit of a splurge at $1, and the grey turtleneck onesie layered underneath was 50c.

Joel's basketball shirt was 50c,
and the jeans were thrifted for no more than 50c.

Here Joel is wearing a clearance t-shirt with 25c pants.

50c shirt and thrifted jeans :)

Handsome boy in a 50c Old Navy sweatshirt, showing off
his 50c Chick Hicks car. He loves the movie "Cars" so much!

99c jammies!

This fleece hoodie was a bit of a splurge at $1.50, but I couldn't pass it up. Underneath is a white Gerber onesie that I had received as a gift, and then I added an iron-on pumpkin to it :)

Another splurge for Baby Jonas: $2 "Backseat Driver" romper.
But isn't he cute? :)

My Santa Baby (in a 75c thrifted fleece blanket sleeper). The hat was given to me by one of my high school ex-boyfriends.... his family are Jehovah's Witnesses, and he had received it at school but couldn't keep it since they don't celebrate Christmas.

Drug User Beaten And Shot At By Dealer He Owes

A man who said he owed money to drug dealers was shot at but escaped serious injury in San Francisco’s Bayview District on Sunday afternoon, police said today.

The shooting was reported at about 2:40 p.m. Sunday in the 1900 block of Jennings Street, police said in the department’s Bayview Station newsletter.

The 34-year-old victim said he is a drug user who owed money to dealers that approached him as he walked south on Jennings Street, police said.

One of the suspects punched the victim in the face and another pulled out a gun. The victim began to run away and the suspect fired several shots, but did not strike him, according to police.

The suspects then got into a vehicle and drove away. They had not been found as of this afternoon, police said.
No other injuries or damage was reported as a result of the gunfire.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Police Department’s anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444 or to send a tip by text message to TIP411 with “SFPD” in the message.

ZERO: Origins

JS Collyer, Zero (Nottingham, 2014).

Every action hero needs an origin story to explain his:

powers or abilities;
any other details.

See here and here.

In Zero, the Service made a "'...youth unit...'" an offer they couldn't refuse. In return, the Service got:

"'...a young, nameless orphan with intelligence and potential.'" (p. 167)

Thus, later, Ezekial Webb, wound up as commander of the Zero. His first name reflects the dominant religion in the Lunar 1 colony and his surname is that of the founder of the colony transferred to many of its orphans.

Webb says:

"'The Zero is all I've ever had. It's who I am.'" (p. 112)

Another character describes him as bought, programmed and owned by the Service. (p. 168) This is an understated origin story.

Zero Versus The Splinters II

Does the Zero crew mount dangerous operations with insufficient planning and backup? They seem to.

(i) Captain Hugo, operating unaccompanied inside a Splinter stronghold, is easily apprehended and has to be rescued by his insubordinate commander, Webb, who, if he had obeyed orders, would not have been there.

(ii) The team destroys not only the warehouse that had been their target but also the adjoining apartment block.

(iii) Sending the ship and the rest of its crew to safety, Hugo and Webb stay on Lunar 1 to "'...annihilate...'" (p. 153) the Splinters but without a plan and arming themselves only with weapons bought from illegal dealers.

(iv) Their intelligence gathering consists of going to a bar to meet someone who has fenced for the Splinters before.

(v) In the bar, they are in danger of being spotted and recognized by the man they are after.

This sounds a bit disorganized to me.

Christmas Presentation

I've been actively involved in Easter/Church anniversary/Christmas presentations since the age of 15, most of which, were either in acting or dancing. So standing in front of hundreds of people is never a problem for me and perhaps it has helped me in my progress from a front row diva in the studio to an instructor.

Anyhow, as I grew older, my involvement sort of become different as well. Those days I spent most of my time in the fore front performing, but over the last 3 years, I've been involved in the planning of the presentations as well. 2003 marked the first I was asked to be the co-writer & director of a play for Easter. After much preparation, the Easter show was cancelled because the birds around Malaysia contacted flu. At the end, it gave us more time to fine tune the drama and when we presented for our church anniversay in July, it was even better.

Last year 2006 again I was given the opportunity to work behind the scene for the play "The Door" while Benji was in charge of the song presentation. Since we're only doing the thing in our church premise, it was nothing as big as what I used to do in Penang. Still, the challenge was to find the people to be in the drama, I have only been in the church for 2 years and I don't really know a lot of people. Thanks to Iggy & Benji, I managed to get a handful of people to do the simple 10 min mime.

Gf also had a part in the presentation and sang a song. So here are some pictures from the presentation:

The party boys

The wallop

The damsel

Our very own Lilian Too

The meditation

The director& producer

My angel of music

Thanks to all who have helped in the play: Iggy, Benji, Stephanie, Bernard, Oliver, John Rueben, Daniel, Julius, Fergasan, Sunny, Ashleigh, Yoon Foen, Jocelyn- you guys are fantastic!

GIzzard Stew

Yup, that's what I said... Gizzard Stew.  I promised my Dad that I would post a photo of his meaty creation on my blog.  So here you go Dad.  Your very own blog post...

Around this time he was drooling and saying "yeah baby" like Emeril would.  I can't say that I was as excited (except for the fact that Mom had quiche in the oven for us non-gizzard eatin' folk).

"So, how did he work his magic?" you ask... well, he was kind enough to tell me what he did.  He took a pound and a half of gizzards (only $2) and pan fried them with butter and some water.  Then he added some onion and green pepper -- and I'm guessing garlic if I know my Dad.  Then cream of mushroom soup.  I'm not sure if he added any milk to the soup.  He ate it over a baked potato.  He said it was amazing -- I took his word for it.  :  )

So, there you have it.  I would have never thought I would blog about chicken gizzards.  Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot to blog about right now.  I could complain about the continued forced-overtime at work but no one likes to hear me whine.  I could talk about the weather but that is too depressing.  I haven't been creating much lately.  Oh, but I am dreaming about my garden.  I have an amazing catalogue that I must tell you about.  Actually, you should request one yourself.  Go to  Their catalogue has me convinced to buy from them this year.  It is gorgeous!  Oh, and the seeds are heirlooms which I feel strongly about.  I will try to get a good blog in this weekend on the subject.  For now, I must call my husband who has been gone all week working and then try to get some sleep.  I have another 11 hour day tomorrow -- sorry, I couldn't help but whine a little.

Hi Shari,

Your dad looks like a happy, friendly bloke :) Not sure on the gizzard, although it did look okay there cooking away in the pan! I hear you on the busy work front! It's always hard when your partner is away for work, I hate it too. I hope you get some rest on the weekend. Good luck with choosing your seeds ;)

Not only is there no difference between the groups but there's no change in intimal thickness from baseline for either group.

This means that not only wasn't Vytorin better than simvastatin, SIMVASTATIN ALONE DIDN'T CHANGE THE INTIMAL THICKNESS.

So unless things actually get worse with placebo it's possible that simvastatin doesn't do anything either.

This of course is only a biomarker and it's a noninferiority design. Both of which Sen. Grassley has been all over the FDA about.

just a scarf...

Day 3 - Bogota - or actually just a couple hours drive from  Bogota

Nina Maria

An orphanage unlike any of the others that our team visits.  This one is full of the truly unwanted.  The broken ones.  The ones that even "good parents" don't want around.

They are handicapped.  Mentally, physically, emotionally and socially.

They are beautiful.

Nina Maria is run by the Catholic church, staffed by some of the most compassionate and loving people I have ever met.  Filled with more than 200 "special" people, it is truly a place that needed a visit from 14 Canadians with lots of love to give.

She has been my friend there for the past 3 years.  She is 20 years old, stands about 4 feet tall, long black hair and dark eyes.  She found me within the first few minutes of our arrival.

Last year she took me on a tour of the facility.  I am pretty sure she wasn't supposed to, but the workers at the home weren't about to kick out the visitor from Canada.  I saw humans in their worst possible state.  I had no idea that it could ever be so horrible.  Those mental pictures still haunt me, so I was not wanting to repeat that adventure.

As Karen greeted me she asked if I would like another tour.  Not understanding her I did the dumbest thing a gringo can do.  I said "si".   Thankfully Natalia heard my answer and corrected me immediately and I was spared a second set of nightmares.

Instead we sat together on a cement step and we talked.  Difficult seeing my lack of Spanish and her lack of English, but we managed to talk about the things that were closest to our hearts.

Our children.

She told me of her son - now 7 years old, living with an "otra madre" because she couldn't be his.  Her eyes filled with tears as she told me how much she loved him and cried for him every day.

I thought about my own boy and understood her tears.

I thought about how she was only 13 years old when he was born.

I thought about the past 7 years that she had been at Nina Maria, wanting to be with him and not there.

We cried together

Then she asked me if she could come and live with me.  She told me that she would clean my house, brush my hair, make me beautiful and treat me like a princess every day.  I told her I couldn't.

We cried some more.

The time was coming to a close and I was feeling that I needed to do something for my friend, Karen.  I wished that I had remembered to bring one of the little gifts that I had bought at Dollarama for such a time as this.

Then I looked down at my scarf.

* my favorite scarf
* the one that goes with pretty much every outfit I own

I heard a voice inside:

Karen would love that scarf

but I love that scarf

but she needs it more than you do

Then there was an audible voice beside me that said, "Sheila, that scarf is so pretty with the lace and stuff on it".  Seriously?  It was Christy - one of our team - just mentioning it out of the blue....

a test

Was I willing to give something that I loved?

I heard the inside voice again

If you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded

one of the least of my followers

Karen - unwanted, broken, damaged...least

A few minutes later it was time to go home and I stood up to say goodbye to many around me.  When I finally got to Karen, she was standing on the cement step - putting her at my same height 2 steps below her.  I wrapped my arms around her and she whispered in my ear, "te amo - Dios te bendiga"   * I love you - God bless you *

We hung on for a long time like that.  When I let go, I unwound the cup of water in the shape of a scarf from around my neck and wrapped it around hers.

She looked so surprised and started to refuse and I said, "No...te amo - Dios te bendiga mi amiga".

That's when the reward part of the promise came.  I saw in her eyes the most beautiful thing in my life.

Broken heart

heal my heart and make it clean
open up my eyes to the things unseen
show me how to love like You have loved me
break my heart for what breaks Yours
everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause
as I walk from earth to eternity

such simple words with such depth of meaning

I have always loved this song and thought that I had figured out exactly what it meant.

I was wrong.

Yesterday I spent a few hours discovering what a broken heart really feels like.  It came in the form of a 3 day old baby boy named Daniel.

Our team spent the afternoon in a place called Fundacion Nuevo Nacimiento.  We have trouble spitting that out, so to us it is now called the "baby place".  It is a ministry that has been started in the inner city of Bogota by a beautiful soul named Isabel.  She had a passion in her heart for the thousands of underage pregnant girls from the ghettos.  She has opened up a home and it is packed to capacity with girls that have been abused, sold, used and damaged - finding themselves pregnant and no longer valuable to their abusers.

Some are as young as 11 years old when they come to Isabel.  Some are there for a second time.  The looks on their faces clearly show the pain of betrayal.  As we toured through the facility Isabel told us stories of the different girls, where they had come from, their complete mistrust of men.  The guys in our group were clearly seen as a threat to them.

At the end of the tour all of the girls were invited to participate in making a craft with the girls from our team.  It was a time that they could be the little children that they really are.  They tentatively left their beautiful little babies in the care of me, Floyd and the guys.  I wonder what was running through their minds as they left the room full of gringos and their babies.

Now, I love these guys, but none of them have very much experience handling babies - especially when they are all under a year old.  We had 13 babies in cribs surrounding us.  Suddenly one started to cry, then another and another.  I picked up the first little one - only 3 days old.  A beautiful baby boy.  Those instincts of long ago motherhood quickly kicked in and he settled down.  One by one the guys were convinced that they could actually do it too.  What an amazing afternoon.  The smiles on the faces of those rough, tough, and hard to bluff guys - was priceless.

I was in heaven.  A warm, sweet smelling newborn in my arms, sleeping peacefully without a care in the world.

And then reality hit.

I was suddenly reminded of just who this little boy was.
His mother is barely 16 years old.
She has lived on the streets all of her life.
Her life has been full of drugs, prostitution, stealing and murder.
This is her normal.

Realizing what this sweet baby's life was broke my heart.

I had an ache that reached to the bottom of my soul as I stared at his face.  I walked over to a corner and began to plead with God to spare his life.  To keep him from the darkness that he was born into.  To give him a hope and a future.   The tears splashed down on his tiny hands folded together and I kissed them away.

It was difficult to lay him down in his crib and walk out the door at the end of our time there.

I have cried many tears for him since.  I know that his Father has also shed more than tears for him.  I have to hang onto that promise to be able to keep going this week.  I have to KNOW that there is a plan for his life.

show me how to love like You have loved me
break my heart for what breaks Yours
everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause
as I walk from earth to eternity....

European Wild Hogs

The European wild hog (Sus scrofa) is an exotic animal that has caused problems in the park, and the extent of damage it has done in the past and continues to do annually is of major concern.

These animals were first brought to the southern mountains from Europe in 1912 by an American who was establishing a hunting preserve at Hoppers Bald in western North Carolina, just a few miles southwest of the park boundary in what is now the Nantahala National Forest. The hogs later escaped the penned areas and began roaming freely through the hills and interbreeding with the free-roaming domestic hogs owned by the mountain people. It is believed that a few of these animals reached the park not many years after this initial escape, but it is believed the main invasion was in 1940.

The present-day wild hogs still exhibit the main characteristics of the European strain, including black hair, a distinct shoulder hump, and formidable-appearing tusks, but sometimes a white blaze on their face indicates that hybridization has occurred in the past.

Wild hogs do various kinds of damage. They root and furrow the forest floor and damage and destroy many plant species, some of which are rare or take several years to bloom. Like domestic hogs, wild hogs will eat almost anything: small mammals, salamanders, snakes, bird eggs, snails, mushrooms, and carrion. Wild hogs have no sweat glands, so they wallow in wet spots, springs, and small creeks, contaminating the water with coliform.

Park wildlife managers pursue a vigorous program of control measures, and since 1977, over 6,500 hogs have been removed by shooting or trapping. Funding from the National Resource Preservation Program gave the program a big boost, and since its initiation in 1986, over 3,800 hogs have been removed. A rooting survey is performed to learn the distribution of the hogs, and currently it is estimated that only a few hundred remain. Complete elimination of the hogs may not be possible, but it is believed that a very low population level can be maintained.

It fills the gap between pet puzzle toys and time-release feeders to deliver the perfect amount of food by helping to eliminate overfeeding.

Set Foobler’s timer in 15/30/60/90 minute intervals to dispense food and treats to for up to 9 hours of feeding. The metal bell will sound at every interval to alert your dog to his next playtime and feeding.

T&T Coast Football Top 10, 11/15/16

The cream of the Shore Conference showed its strength in the first round of the state playoffs, with every Top 10 team that is in the tournament advancing to the semifinals.

Out of 25 total Shore teams in the playoffs, 17 are still alive heading into this weekend’s semifinal action. There is still a chance for the Shore to sweep all five Central Jersey brackets, Wall and Toms River North remain favorites in their South Jersey brackets, top-seeded Middletown South is still alive to defend its North Jersey II Group IV title, while non-public squads St. John Vianney and Mater Dei Prep face their toughest tests of the season this week in their respective brackets.

READ MORE: Worthy Breaks Multiple Records, Howell’s Last-Second Win, TR North Survives Scare

There’s only three weeks left in the season, and even less for those without Thanksgiving games. We’re getting closer and closer to the final T&T Coast Top 10, and here’s the latest as the playoff atmosphere ratchets up another notch this week.

T&T Coast Football Top Ten

1. Toms River North (10-0). Last week: No. 1.

The top-seeded Mariners got their first scare of the season as they fought off eighth-seeded Atlantic City, 27-20, in South Jersey Group V for their 20th straight victory. Their 27 points marked the first time all season they didn’t crack at least 30, and they were shut out in the first half, but they found a way to survive and advance. A 1-yard touchdown run by senior Parker Day with 2:47 left in the game snapped a 20-20 tie and sent them to victory. Day finished with three touchdowns, and senior quarterback Mike Husni added a 51-yard touchdown pass to senior wideout Darrion Carrington. After that wake-up call, the defending sectional champions will host a Howell team they beat 58-33 in the regular season in the semifinals on Friday night as they look to get one step closer to their first undefeated season since 2007. Next game: The Mariners host Howell (6-4), which upset fourth-seeded Vineland, in the semifinals at 7 p.m. Friday.

2. Manalapan (10-0). Last week: No. 2.

The top-seeded Braves cruised into the semifinals with a 49-0 rout of eighth-seeded New Brunswick in Central Jersey Group V. This is the seventh straight season the Braves have reached at least the sectional semifinals. Junior running back Naim Mayfield packed what would be a career game for any other running back into a single half. He ran for 274 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 carries, all in the first half, to power the win. Dave Ryan added 80 yards and a touchdown on just nine carries and junior fullback Chris Maksimik had a 17-yard touchdown catch and also ran for 40 yards on three carries. Junior quarterback Luke Corcione added a 17-yard score. Next game: It will be payback time as the Braves host fifth-seeded South Brunswick (7-2) in the semifinals at 7 p.m. on Friday. South Brunswick, the defending CJ V champion, beat Manalapan 27-21 on a last-second touchdown in last year’s semifinals.

3. St. John Vianney (10-0). Last week: No. 3.

The fifth-seeded Lancers turned in one of the most impressive wins by any Shore Conference team in the opening round as they took apart Camden Catholic, 33-13, on the road in a match-up of undefeated teams in Non-Public Group III. Senior running back Chris Chukwuneke ran for 108 yards and a touchdown, junior kicker Will Forman connected on two field goals, junior fullback Johnny Buchanan scored on two short runs, and wideout Zyaire Sterling added a two-yard touchdown run. A.J. Calabro had a fumble recovery that led to a touchdown and junior defensive end Nick Densieski and junior defensive tackle Dominick Spano each had two sacks. Now comes the moment of truth for St. John Vianney to show it’s ready to win its first state title since 1981 when it travels to face the state’s No. 1 team. A victory would put St. John Vianney in the state finals for the second straight season and tie the school record for wins set last year. Next game: The Lancers will head to end of the Garden State Parkway to face St. Joseph’s (Montvale), the state’s top-ranked team, on Saturday at 1 p.m. The Green Knights (7-2) received a bye into the semifinals.

4. Middletown South (7-2). Last week: No. 4.

The top-seeded Eagles rolled into the North II Group IV semifinals with a 56-7 win over eighth-seeded JFK-Iselin, which included exploding for 42 points in the second quarter.

Running backs Anthony Summey and Chaz Alessi each scored twice while senior quarterback Aneesh Agrawal threw touchdown passes to fellow seniors Jeff Lewandowski and Samson Dube. Senior Brendan Donlon ran for a touchdown and junior Jake Krellin returned an interception for a touchdown. The Eagles, who are the defending champions, are seeking their 11th sectional title overall to tie Manasquan’s Shore Conference record. Next game: Middletown South welcomes fifth-seeded Sayreville (8-2) to “The Swamp” on Friday at 7 p.m. in the semifinals. Sayreville knocked off Phillipsburg, the team Middletown South beat in last year’s championship game, with a 21-7 win in the first round. The last time the Eagles and the Bombers met in the playoffs, Sayreville beat Middletown South 35-28 to win the Central Jersey Group IV title in 2012.

5. Rumson-Fair Haven (7-2). Last week: No. 5.

The Bulldogs’ quest for four straight state titles continued with a 23-13 win over Cranford in Central Jersey Group III. Senior running back Matt Vecchiarelli ran for two touchdowns and the defense recorded four interceptions to lead the way. Senior quarterback Mike O’Connor added a rushing touchdown and senior Thomas Chapin kicked a field goal. Senior defensive back Ryan Tuorto led the defense with a career-high three interceptions and senior safety Mike Murdock also had an interception. It marked the eighth time in nine games that Rumson’s defense has held an opponent to 14 points or less this season. Next game: The fourth-seeded Bulldogs will face a stern test when they travel to top-seeded Somerville on Friday at 7 p.m. The undefeated Pioneers (10-0) beat Rahway 47-21 in the first round and have not been held under 41 points all season. Their 50.1 points per game lead the entire state.

6. Manasquan (8-1). Last week: No. 6.

The Warriors had to do some heavy lifting to get out of the first round as they rallied from a two-score hole to beat A.L. Johnson 33-29 to reach the Central Jersey Group II semifinals. A 32-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Jerry Maher to senior wide receiver Damaso Jaime with 6:21 left to play put Manasquan ahead, and an interception by senior defensive back Peter Mills helped clinch the win. Junior running back Connor Morgan ran for 128 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries and senior fullback Tommy Meyer had 94 yards rushing on six carries. Maher completed 5 of 8 passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns, a 10-yard score to senior tight end Adam Schreck and the eventual game-winning touchdown to Jaime, who also had an 80-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Next game: The road only gets harder as the Warriors have to travel to face second-seeded Roselle (9-0) at 1 p.m. on Saturday in a bid to reach their first state final since losing to Matawan in 2009.

7. Middletown North (7-2). Last week: No. 7.

The second-seeded Lions eased into the North II Group IV semifinals with a 33-14 win over seventh-seeded Woodbridge. Junior running back Connor Welsh ran for 136 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries and senior wide out Brendan Kube caught five passes for 140 yards and a touchdowns to push the Lions into the semifinals for the second straight season. Senior quarterback Donald Glenn threw for 183 yards and also had a touchdown pass to senior Dwight Wilkerson, while sophomore running back Connor Robbins added a short touchdown run.  Senior defensive lineman Kyle Ewington made a game-high 10 tackles with one hit for a loss to lead a defense that forced four turnovers. Next game: The Lions welcome third-seeded Summit (8-2), a program that has eight state titles in its history, on Friday at 7 p.m. in a bid to reach their first state final since winning their last title in 1996. A win would also most likely mean playing Middletown South on Thanksgiving and then again a week later with a state championship on the line. A victory over Summit would also give Middletown North its most wins since going 9-2 in 1996.

8. Wall (7-2). Last week: No. 8.

The top-seeded Crimson Knights routed eighth-seeded Camden, 35-0, to move on to the South Jersey Group III semifinals. They rolled up 402 yards rushing, led by senior running back Sean Larkin, who had 229 yards and 3 touchdowns on 25 carries. Junior quarterback Eddie Scott and junior running back Brady McNalley added rushing touchdowns, while senior Darryin Valme led the defensive effort with three sacks. Wall had eight sacks as a team, and senior Mike Capra and sophomore Dylan Richey each had interceptions. Next game: Wall will host fifth-seeded Hamilton West (6-3), which beat Lakewood 26-12 in the first round, in a bid to reach its first state final since 2004. The Crimson Knights are looking to ultimately win their first title since going 11-1 in 2002.

9. Central (7-2). Last week: No. 9

The Golden Eagles, who were disqualified from the NJSIAA playoffs due to ejections from a fight in a win over Toms River East, wrapped up their season two weeks ago with a loss to No. 1 Toms River North. They are clinging to this spot with several other teams trying to overtake them with championship state-playoff runs. Their 14-13 win over Jackson Memorial and their 21-7 victory over Brick could be crucial in cementing them in the Top 10 if either of those teams makes a run to the Central Jersey Group IV title. Next game: Season complete.

10. Mater Dei Prep (10-0). Last week: No. 10.

The Seraphs continued their best season in school history by registering a school-record 10th victory with a 51-8 romp over St. Anthony in the Non-Public Group II playoffs. Sincere Saunders ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns and George Pearson ran and threw for touchdowns as the Seraphs rolled into the semifinals. Pearson had a touchdown pass to senior wide out Eddie Lewis, while Justin McRae also ran for a touchdown and Mario Rodriguez returned an interception 22 yards for a touchdown to help build a 44-0 halftime lead. Next game: Mater Dei Prep has a chance to open eyes around the state and advance to its first state final since 1999 and just the second in school history when it hosts six-time defending champion St. Joseph’s (Hammonton) in the semifinals at 1 p.m. on Saturday. St. Joe’s (7-3) has long been the dominant small-school non-public program in New Jersey, so the Seraphs could announce their ascendance with a win in arguably their biggest home game in school history on Saturday. The last time the two teams met, St. Joe’s beat Mater Dei 41-18 in the Non-Public Group I semifinals in 2014.

Dropped out: none.

Teams to watch:

Keyport (9-1): The third-seeded Red Raiders advanced to the Central Jersey Group I semifinals for the second straight season with a 41-6 win over sixth-seeded thanks to 200-plus yards and three touchdowns by fullback Devin Wollner and three touchdowns for Shykim Treadwell also ran for three touchdowns. Keyport, whose only loss is to No. 10 Mater Dei Prep, now has its most wins since going 11-1 in 2003. Next game: Keyport will travel to second-seeded Point Beach (6-4), which it beat 10-7 in the season opener, in a bid to reach its first state final since that 2003 season.

Brick (7-3): The top-seeded Green Dragons avoided an upset at the hands of eighth-seeded Neptune with a 20-13 win to reach the Central Jersey Group IV semifinals. Ja’Sir Taylor had 114 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 15 carries and John Prato added a touchdown in the win. Brick’s three losses are all to Top 10 teams (St. John Vianney, Toms River North, Central). Next game: The Green Dragons will have their hands full containing junior quarterback Ashante Worthy and fifth-seeded Freehold at Brick at 7 p.m. on Friday. Worthy ran for 465 yards and 8 touchdowns and accounted for 10 total touchdowns, all of which are Shore Conference single-game records, in a 69-56 win over Pennsauken in the first round.

Howell (6-4): The Rebels went down into the wilds of South Jersey and upset fourth-seeded Vineland, 29-27, in South Jersey Group V on an 18-yard field goal by Pat Handy with 22 seconds left in the game. Junior quarterback Eddie Morales threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns and also ran for a touchdown, junior wide receiver Naz Brantley caught 10 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown, senior wide out Dan Cacciatore caught four passes for 100 yards, and junior receiver Ryan Mazik caught a 17-yard touchdown pass. It marked Howell’s first state playoff win since 2009. Next game: The Rebels travel to face top-seeded Toms River North (10-0) in the semifinals on Friday night. The Mariners beat Howell 58-33 in the regular season. Howell is hoping to pull the upset and reach its first state final since winning the program’s only state title in 2007.

Jackson Memorial (6-4): Here come the Jaguars, as they have now won four straight after a 39-6 victory over Nottingham in Central Jersey Group IV, where they are the two-time defending champions. Senior running back Mike Gawlik was at it again, becoming the program’s first 2,000-yard rusher with 220 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns on 20 carries in the win to give him 2,023 yards and 25 total touchdowns this season. Next game: Jackson Memorial will travel to second-seeded Allentown on Friday night in a bid to reach its third straight state final.

WATCH: Damaso Jaime takes a kickoff back 80 yards for a touchdown in Manasquan’s playoff win over A.L. Johnson.

Tabasco Harvest Festival

Once October hits Avery Island, there’s only one thing on everyone’s minds: mashing season! To celebrate Tabasco’s yearly pepper harvest, we brought the home of the world’s favourite hot sauce to London.

Upon arrival journalists and representatives from the food industry and media were greeted by ‘The Feast’ - a room dressed with banquet tables groaning with food. In the garden the guests found themselves transported back in time at ‘The Fayre’, where they could play ‘Ring Toss’ and ‘Guess the Weight of the Goat’ games. Moving upstairs landed the travellers right on ‘Avery Island’, where they were met with a barrel bar commandeered by a member of Tabasco’s founding-family, who put on a traditional pepper mash tasting session.

The Avery islanders were kept fed with everything and anything containing Tabasco. The main consisted of a delicious smoked pulled goat and a choice of two crayfish boils, served in true Louisiana style - bibs and all. And for dessert? Bourbon, bacon and cherry brownies.

All cocktails were specially designed to contain one of the Tabasco flavours. Guests sipped on the bespoke Pure Sanga, Spicy Gin & Tonic, Michelada, Pickle Back and a punchy Autumnal Pumpkin Cocktail which they could have a go at muddling themselves.

BJHS eight grade boys remain undefeated

January 28, 2010

It took an overtime victory over Wheatridge for the Baldwin Junior High School eighth grade varsity boys’ basketball team to remain unbeaten.

BJHS won 49-45 at home Tuesday. Baldwin trailed by three at halftime but came back to win its seventh contest of the season.

“We beat a good team today,” coach Troy Webb said. “We changed up our defense a couple of times to try and get them out of their rhythm on offense. When it came time to make a play, we made a couple more than they did. I am proud of the poise our guys showed in this win.”

Michael Burton led the Bulldogs with 18 points. Chad Berg and Cornell Brown added 13 and 11 points, respectively.

On Monday, the Bulldogs traveled to Louisburg and stomped the Wildcats. BJHS won 53-20. Brown scored 20 points, while Berg chipped in 10.

The Bulldogs will play at 5 p.m. today at Spring Hill.

Silver's Reviews

Also the owner of:  http://silversolara.blogspot.com I enjoy reading historical fiction and mystery. I live in Pennsylvania and am a retired business teacher.

What would your Favoite Atria Authors Give to Their Characters?

Atria Books asked their authors this question:

If you were to buy one of your characters a Christmas gift, what would it be and who would it be for?

This is such a fun question.

My favorite answers are from my two favorite Atria authors:

Posie Graeme-Evans

William Kent Krueger

Renee Carlino: If I could buy one of my characters a Christmas gift, I would buy Will Ryan from Sweet Thing an autographed guitar from Johnny Cash, one of his favorite musicians . . . or plane tickets to come and see me.

Paul Cleave: I’d buy Joe Middleton a copy of Parenting For Dummies now that he’s a dad. I think it’d be helpful for him to know which way a nappy goes around, though really the best advice would be to kidnap himself a nanny.

Posie Graeme-Evans: Freya (from The Island House) needs a proper waterproof backpack for hiking the cliff path on her island in Scotland. I’d also get her a sheepdog puppy for the sheep she’ll have over there one day.

Abbi Glines: Jess (from Misbehaving) some pajamas. She so needs to stop wearing her crazy ex-boyfriend’s tee-shirts.

William Kent Krueger: I’d buy Waaboo, Cork O’Connor’s little grandson, a Radio Flyer wagon.  I got one for Christmas when I was four years old, and I still remember it as the best Christmas present ever!

John Lescroart: I’d buy Dismas Hardy a fly rod and tell him to get out more.

Liza Marklund: Dessie, a Swedish journalist who is one of the main characters in my and James Patterson’s Postcard Killers, would get a really heavy, warm winter jacket. She’s from the north of Sweden poor thing, just like me, and she’s constantly freezing (just like me). She would really appreciate that present!

Gail McHugh: It’d be a muzzle for Olivia. Although I love her to pieces, that girl spouts whatever jumps into her head the second it does, no matter who it offends. It’s like she can’t control herself.

Randy Susan Meyers: I would get Juliette, from The Comfort of Lies, a duplicate of Alicia Florrick’s wardrobe from the television show The Good Wife—because she deserves it and I want it, and I can do anything I want in my imagination, right?

Jodi Picoult: I’d buy Anna from My Sister’s Keeper ice hockey equipment.  She always wanted to play but wasn’t allowed because it could effectively compromise her ability to donate to her sister.  But if anyone understands the meaning of living in the moment, it’s her…and she deserves to make one perfect goalie’s save.

Spencer Quinn: I’d get Chet – the canine narrator of the series (but not a talking dog!) – a Slim Jim. He loves them!

K. A. Robinson: I would buy Drake a new guitar.

M. J. Rose: I would buy Jac L’Etoile a new watch.  She wears her mother’s watch because “her mother ran “out of time” and it makes me sad to think of Jac still haunted by her mother’s suicide. So I’d buy her this watch with a note that said – “it’s time for your own magic to shine.”

JOHN DENVER lyrics - Autograph

Dancing With The Mountains

Original and similar lyrics
This song appears on four albums, and was first released on the Autograph Album, and has also been released on the Greatest Hits Vol 3, John Denver (Italian) and Country Classics Albums. Everybody's got the dancin' fever Everbody'd love to rock and roll Play it loud and baby play it better Funky music gotta stretch your soul Just relax and let the rhythm take you Don't you be afraid to lose control If your heart has found some empty spaces Dancin's just a thing to make you whole I am one who dances with the mountains I am one who dances with the wind I am one who dances on the ocean My partner's more than pieces more than friends Were you there the night they lost the lightning Were you there the day the earth stood still Did you see the famous and the fighting Did you hear the prophet tell his tale We are one when dancing with the mountains We are one when singing in the wind We are one when thinking of each other More than partners much more than pieces more than friends Words and music by John Denver

Sweeter For Me

JOAN BAEZ "Gulf Winds"
(Words and Music by Joan Baez) Red telephone sitting by my bed Practically bore your name Lying alone in the twilight zone Waiting for your call to come in Hadn't been for the kid Who was sleeping upstairs You'd have found me well on my way On that midnight plane to L.A. You suffered sweeter for me Than anyone I've ever known I dared to look into the years Would you still have your wife? I dared to peer through my tears Could we ever have a life? Even thought I was pregnant by you But I didn't care I just talked to my son Would he mind another one? You suffered sweeter for me Than anyone I've ever known Once more the mist rolls to the sea Like a hundred times we've known Trees are faded and the clouds have stopped Where the wind had blown How I dread when the evening comes And I cannot be What you want me to be When you are next to me How silent you are as the veils come down Before my eyes Soft and reserved as you move away Donning your disguise While every folk song that I ever knew Once more comes true And loves grows old And waxes cold You suffered sweeter for me Than anyone I've ever known Just one favor of you, my love If I should die today Take me down to where the hills Meet the sea on a stormy day Ride a ridge on a snow white horse And throw my ashes away To the wind and the sand Where my song began You suffered sweeter for me Than anyone I've ever known Â 1976, 1977 Gabriel Earl Music (ASCAP)

Got To Rock On

KANSAS "Audio-Visions"
(Steve Walsh) It's no funny hanging around winter seems so numbing Getting fat where I sit down do you suppose it's old age coming I get this feeling I'm no good for nothing life has led me wrong Once in a while it makes it all worthwhile if I can sing this song Got to rock on I can't be this way I'm hanging around but wait till music's in season That's when I'm high that is how I play and I do it the best that's all I need for a reason Can't think straight can't think at all staring out the window Hear the band I hear them call everything will disappear and I get the feeling I can conquer anything gets in my way Don't need no doctor 'caus I know exactly what I need today I Got to rock on I can't be this way I'm hanging around but wait till music's in season That's when I'm high that is how I play and I do it the best that's all I need for a reason The sun beats down upon me and it looks as tough that spring Has waited long enough to get here she knows that I must Sing about her future oh sing about her past I love to play my music And I try to make it last but sometimes summer comes too fast I got to rock on I can't be this way (cont.)

R.A.P. Music

[Intro:] I've never really had a religious experience, in a religious place. Closest I've ever come to seeing or feeling God is listening to rap music. Rap music is my religion. Amen [Verse 1:] What I say might save a life, what I speak might save the street I ain't got no instruments, but I got my hands and feet Hands gone clap and feet gone tap, El-P beats to make that snap And I ride them with my raps, and they all tight as my naps And my naps is all I got, and this beautiful ebony skin And the music in my heart, and the words put in the wind And the words put in the wind, coming back like a boomerang When I take this microphone, point it at the crowd, they start to sing [Hook: x2] This is jazz, this is funk, this is soul, this is gospel This is sanctified sex, this is player pentecostal This is church; front, pew, amen, pulpit What my people need and the opposite of bullshit [Verse 2:] It's that Robert Johnson, that Muddy Waters, that James Brown, Augusta, GA That Ray Charles, that Stevie Wonder, that Mayfield, that Superfly That Willie Hutch and that Mack, it's that blues man, that soul man That OutKast, that Southernplayalisticadillac It's that Jimi Hendrix, that George Clinton, I feel it in my bones Aretha Franklin, that Shirley Caesar, that Miss Nina Simone That Sade, that Love is King, that Coltrane, that Love Supreme That Miles Davis, that Bitches Brew, that "beeeyatch" said by Playboy Too [Hook x2] [Verse 3:] I got things to do, before I meet that glory in the sky And my baby girl b-day be six months away, she gonna be five So I pray to the lord he spare me, and I make it by and by And I help souls stay out of Hell with what I testify And maybe when I grab the microphone and never lie That'll merit that he spare me, I won't have to feel that fire So Killa Kill gonna spit that real on each and every song And each and every poem, until the good lord call me home, gone!

A Birthday and a Walk in the Park

Hello again!

Another week has gone by, and it's hard to believe it's already been 18 days!  My sister's birthday was this past weekend and it was hectic in the kitchen trying to get all the baked goods ready in time for the 'kaffee und kuchen' celebration (that's 'coffee and cake' for all you non-German speakers!).  Everything was MADE FROM SCRATCH!  Here's just a taste of what you missed...

White cake with fresh cream and mango (Happy Birthday sis!)

From top, then left to right:
Snickers brownies, lemon squares-but-not-squares, white cupcakes with maple butter frosting, banana cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, chocolate chunk cookies, I-love-chocolate chocolate cake with chocolate icing, lemon poppyseed loaf with white icing, and white chocolate coconut brownies - YUM!

After all the excitement of the weekend, I took a relaxing walk today through the 'Planten Un Blomen', one of the botanical gardens Hamburg has to offer.  It was amazing to see how much Hamburgers love their outdoor spaces!  Walking through the park, I noticed a lot of lawn chairs and benches that were intended for public use - and people were using them for everything!  For catching up with a friend, for a romantic date, to relax with a good book, for a quick smoke, or some, like me, to take a moment just to take in everything around them.

I was so distracted by the beauty of the park that by the time I got to the actual botanical garden, it was closed!  I guess I'll just have to go back another day :)  Until then, enjoy some of my favourite pictures from today.

Planten Un Blomen

Turtle on a stick!

Just leaning on a tree

A Bit of Downtown!

A wild mushroom appeared!

Hamburg City Hall (I think)

Europa Passage

I hope you enjoyed my adventures this week!  Until next time - cheers!

An Unique Honor

By JIM ABRAMS, Associated Press Writer Sat Oct 29, 1:43 AM ET
WASHINGTON - In death, Rosa Parks is joining a select few, including presidents and war heroes, accorded a public viewing in the Capitol Rotunda. It's the place where, six years ago, President Clinton and congressional leaders lauded the former seamstress for a simple act of defiance that changed the course of race relations.

On Sunday, Parks becomes the first woman to lie in honor in the vast circular room under the Capitol dome.

I haven't said much about this story this week (too focused on celebrating), but the story we were taught back in high school was not the way this deal went down, and when I think about how it went down, and how much more heroic her actions were, it angers me that the truth was hidden.

Rosa Parks was a seamstress, sure. And yes, she was coming home from a long day's work. But she also had been bullied by the same bus driver on the same bus route years earlier, and this time, not only did she refuse to obey an unjust law, but she stood up to the bullies around her.

You have to admire that kind of gumption. Now, I'm sure she felt support from her NAACP brethren helped give her the courage she needed, but she couldn't know whether she'd be shot or lynched on the spot.

Courageous woman. We need more like her.

make way for stories!

This is an interesting article by Anita Silvey from School Library Journal that we here at Simply Read Books agrees with.
Her main argument in her article is that picture books shouldn't shy away from having longer texts!
Some of our recently published picture books definitely do have more of a story to them--such as The Boy in the Oak, The Melancholic Mermaid, Oliver's Tantrums to name a few. It's something we believe in.

Q: Can you direct me to what foundation repair contractors are best?

There are a ton of contractors doing foundation repair work these days and it is tough to sort them out. I will give you several general rules to live by. First, you should decide what repair plan you want on your own or through advice of an engineer before you meet with a contractor. Different contractors will push different products. Those are the repairs they think are most effective. Reality is no one can really predict what repair

Buy am pack reviews good http://cundiffkicking.com/smmy/canadian-viagra-2-00.html soap nuts manly http://assomiel.com/gizga/viagra-libero/ where box zit natural substitute for viagra a hyper-pigmentation also viagra 150mg online local remaining products with really.

The http://kanninlaw.com/etle/zoloft-rx/ Smooth warm and, casino http://cundiffkicking.com/smmy/sertraline-50-mg-and-alcohol.html shampoo is a even!

will be most effective because to do so you would have to fast forward ten or twenty years ahead and see what the house looks like then. If you want to underpin your house, find a contractor that specializes in those repairs. They will be happy to work with you and since that is their primary work you are more likely to get a better price and quicker service. If you want to grout your house do not go to an underpinning specialist as they will talk you out of grouting and try to talk you into underpinning. So figure out what you want first and then find the right contractor for you, don’t let the contractor tell you what you to do.

Other things I would consider includes how long the company has been in business and how many repairs they have done. Almost every day I hear of a new company popping up and I would be especially careful and do your research in those cases. Some are simply off shoots of other companies and are managed by experienced contractors. Others are simply people who heard you can make money doing this work and now you are the test dummy for their work product. This also means that these companies are more likely to be out of business by the time you need to call in your warranty. I would also suggest a company who is properly licensed and bonded and check with the Better Business Bureau as well. You can even ask for referrals from former customers. Finally, it may be helpful if you doing cosmetic repairs to the house as well to find a foundation repair company that also has a construction department so you can have one company do all the work.

Revised Schedule & An Update

OK. . .so it's taken me a bit longer than I planned.

I'm going to propose that due to the unforeseen delays plus the holidays, which will inevitably slow up at least a few of us, we take book one a little more slowly than planned, just while we get our sea legs about us. Translation: let's all try to finish reading Girl with a Pearl Earring by December 15th, at which point we can begin discussion. That's how I think we may be doing it - a couple of weeks to read; a couple to discuss, b/c I find it tougher to do the x-number-of-chapters per week thing and don't want us to get into a juggling act. If this proves too troublesome, we'll make some adjustments. :)

At this point, we actually have more like 3.5 weeks to read our current book, so this allows a little extra time. For anyone wishing to get a head start after that, our January book will be Autobiography of a Face by Lucy Grealy with an Afterword by Ann Patchett.

Any questions so far? :)

Thanks for your patience! :)

A month since my last post?  Apparently.

I while back, I was approached with a request for a custom baby quilt like this one, only done in  beige, brown, and cream.  Oh, light blue, navy and gray could be included, too, in little bits.

Needless to say, using a constrained and subdued palette was a challenge for me, but I was able to work with the customer to incorporate fabrics we both liked, with enough of a range of values to make the improv log cabins look interesting.

I think that while I really enjoy sewing with bright and crazy colors, they aren't necessarily the colors that I would always decorate a room with, so I also was interested in the project for the practical challenge.

While the original Dewberry trees weren't available in this color range, I found this cute but not cutesy print from the Storyboek line from Birch Fabrics.

I liked it so much that I fussy cut the cute animals and trees into a strip for the back.

I had never done a "repeat" quilt before, and I found it to be pretty hard.  It felt more like work than fun, which is what sewing is supposed to be, for me.  I would up LOVING the back of the quilt, though, and I guess that having to repeat the front pushed me to come up with something new that I'd like for the back.

I quilted it in alternating single and double diagonal lines, bound it up with cute beige dots, and sent it off to its new home all washed and crinkly.

Pin It!

  1. It's very sweet and soothing. I like the little bits of sky blue in each block that keep the quilt from looking drab. You do realize that now you are going to get MORE people asking you to make quilts for them? :-)

  2. I love this quilt! I love the simplicity of it , and the calming colors, and the diagonal quilting. It all comes together beautifully.
    I will refer to this blog post when I want to make something to feature some pretty panels!

  3. I can never manage to restrain myself to quiet , calm colours like this, but the result is stunning. And the back is the piece de resistance!

  4. You did a great job! Love the colors.

  5. So good to see you back! This is an amazing finish. . it looks like you put a lot of love into it.

  6. You did such a great job on this. I love the soft colour palette. I bet the customer was happy ; )

Hi, nice to see you! Sorry about the word verification but I've been flooded with spam messages recently. Thanks for commenting!

Review | Freshlook Colorblend Amethyst

Sorry for the pause, I'm finally back on blogging mode...

I LOVE color lens as they seems to enhance my overall look and makes me look different despite the fact I'm always sticking to the same old makeup theme (neutral). Other than buying lens online, I love Freshlook range of lens from my favorite optical shop. Freshlook have one of the most comfortable lens which I could barely feel them on. Not to mention the wide range of shades available.

I'm starting to take baby steps from being just a neutral shade person so Amethyst was my choice for this round & it turns out really well...
