Weekend Split For Lancers

Header-image-Shalapata-2By Ian Shalapata

(WINDSOR, ON) – The Windsor Lancers were slow to return from the break as they dropped a 4-0 result to the York Lions at South Windsor Arena on Friday evening. The Lancers rebounded the following day as they doubled the Brock Badgers 4-2 in OUA men’s hockey play.

After Blake Richard played a valiant effort by turning away 36 shots against York, Mike Doan got the start against Brock. The Lancers improved their record to 10-7-2 and moved into a 3-way tie for 2nd place.

Despite hosting Dylan Denomme in his crease, York goaltender Chris Perugini backstopped the Lions to a 4-0 win over the Lancers. Windsor would double up Brock, 4-2, the following evening.

The Badgers took a 1-0 lead through to the second period, until form LaSalle Viper Eric Noel tied the game at 14:08 on the power play. Three minutes later, Tyson Ness put Windsor ahead to stay.

Ness opened the 3rd with a goal 30 seconds into the frame and, after Brock drew to within one, Dylan Denomme tallied an empty netter to seal the deal.

Doan backstopped the win by kicking out 40 shots, in another defense-free outing.

Windsor will now face off on the road next weekend. They take on Toronto before meeting Guelph the next night. The Lancers return home on January 16 to play host to Laurier, starting at 7:30pm.

National Hurling League Division 1B Result – Wexford 1-14 Limerick 0-14

Updated: February 12, 2017

Wexford came back from seven down to win this crucial opening encounter in the National Hurling League after Conor McDonald’s 60th minute goal put them in the driving seat.

In truth, the wind was massive making this a game of two sides but Limerick will look to 11 wides that proved costly.

John Kiely’s team went three ahead in the opening five minutes with Graeme Mulcahy, Peter Casey and Diarmuid Byrnes finding the target before two McDonald scores opened Wexford’s account.

Limerick continued tapping over points.  Seamus Hickey, Mulcahy, Cian Lynch and Casey left it 0-7 to 0-2 on 13 minutes before another McDonald double reduced Wexford’s deficit.

McDonald would be Wexford’s only scorer until four minutes into the second half as Casey, Declan Hannon and Paul Browne gave Limerick a 0-10 to 0-4 lead at half-time.  And when Gearoid Hegarty pointed two minutes after the restart, the Shannonsiders were seven ahead.

But they only added one point over the next 30 minutes as Davy Fitzgerald’s team got their radar in check.  McDonald, Lee Chin and substitute Podge Doran brought it back to four before Casey had Limerick 0-12 to 0-7 in front on 44 minutes.

Wexford continued with two McDonald frees plus a Doran brace and Diarmuid O’Keeffe.  And when Chin got his second, Wexford were 0-13 to 0-12 ahead.  But the crucial score came when Mark Fanning’s long drive was taken by McDonald who rattled the net.  And when McDonald added another placed ball, Wexford led 1-14 to 0-12.

Limerick finished with points for Casey and John Fitzgibbon but the goal was decisive.  Wexford travel to face Galway next week where another win will make them odds on favourites for promotion.

Wexford – Conor McDonald 1-8, Podge Doran 0-3, Lee Chin 0-2, Diarmuid O’Keeffe 0-1.

Limerick – Peter Casey 0-5, Graeme Mulcahy 0-2, Diarmuid Byrnes 0-1, Seamus Hickey 0-1, Cian Lynch 0-1, Declan Hannon 0-1, Paul Browne 0-1, Gearoid Hegarty 0-1, John Fitzgibbon 0-1.

National Games Day 7: Aaron on Fire

The Aquatics Complex in Thiruvananthapuram has proved to be goldmine of records. On the final day of swimming in the 2015 National Games, three more records were shattered, bringing the total number of records broken to 37. Aaron D’Souza added another gold to his name as he bettered Asian Games bronze medallist Virdhawal Khade’s record in the 100m freestyle event. Sports Rediscovered brings to you a roundup of the 7th day in the Games.

Aaron D’souza: Sinking New Records

In the Indian Round Individual events, Andhra Pradesh’s Biraghi Naidu took Gold, while Manipur’s Bijendranath Singh took silver and Assam’s Arun Boro took bronze. In the women’s category, Maharashtra’s Ekta Shirke took gold, Manipur’s Naobi Okram took silver and Assam’s Binuma Brahma took bronze. In the men’s Indian Round Team event, Manipur, Bihar and Kerala took to the podium, with gold, silver and bronze respectively. In the women’s category, Assam shot to glory, with Punjab and Maharashtra having to be content with silver and bronze respectively.

Ramkumar Ramanathan, beat Telangana’s Vishnu Vardhan 6-4,6-2 to set up a summit clash with compatriot Sriram Balaji. In the women’s singles, Maharashtra’s Prarthana will take on Gujarat’s Ankita Raina tomorrow at the Tennis Complex in Thiruvananthapuram.  In the doubles match, Tamil Nadu duo of Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan and VS Natrajan will take on Telangana’s Saketh Mynei and Vishnu Vardhan Jagadeeshan. The women’s doubles will be played tomorrow between Gujarat’s Anikta Raina and Eetee Maheta and Telangana’s Nidhi Chulumula and Sowjanya Bavisetti.

In the 10m pistol, Commonwealth Games Gold medallist Heena Sidhu scored 200.8 to take gold, while Mallaika Goel took silver and Annu Raj Singh took bronze. Telangana’s Rashmee Rathore took gold in women’s skeet,with Chhattisgarh’s Saniya Sheikh taking silver and Rajasthan’s Maheshwari Chauhan taking bronze.

Breaking the hearts of the local fans, Sajan Prakash failed to shine today, as he finished at a disappointing fourth position in the 100m freestyle event. Madhya Pradesh’s Aaron D’Souza broke Virdhawal Khade’s record of 51.30 seconds to take gold. The 23 year old, who has had an impressive run in the Games, clocked 50.97 seconds to lay hands on his seventh medal. Previous record holder Virdhawal Khade finished second ( 51.10 seconds), while Anshul Kothari  finished third ( 52.17 seconds).

In the 100m breaststroke, Sandeep Sejwal bettered his own record to take gold. Haryana’s Puneet Rana and Kerala’s Anoop Augustine took home the silver and bronze medals.

Shikha Tandon’s 13 year old record in 100m freestyle was smashed today by Shivani Katria. Tandon clocked 58..34 seconds, 1.37 seconds better than the old mark. In fact, Maharashtra’s Aditi Dhumatkar, who came in second, surpassed the mark too. Goa’s Talasha Prabhu took bronze. In 100 breaststroke, Chandigarh’s Chahat Arora took gold, Maharashtra’s Monique Gandhi took silver, and Tamil Nadu’s A V Jayaveena settled for bronze.

Thus, after seven days of exciting events, the curtain comes down on swimming. Services still continue on top of the table with 42 gold, while Maharashtra and Haryana lock horns for the second place with 26 gold medals. The hosts have taken the fourth place but are far behind the top three teams.

Medals Tally:

State Gold Silver Bronze Total
Services SCB 42 12 13 67

Haryana 26 18 7 51

This 22-Year-Old Shoe Designer Tells Us How He Made It

* Duke & Dexter offers handmade shoes and master craftsmanship
* Founder Archie Hewlett just 22 years old
* Eddie Redmayne and Ryan Reynolds are fans

At just 22 years of age, Archie Hewlett, the founder of footwear brand Duke & Dexter, has already accomplished more than many people twice his age. His London-based brand has steadily grown since its 2014 inception, and its breakout moment came in 2015, when Eddie Redmayne wore Duke & Dexter loafers to collect his Oscar for Best Actor. Other celebrity fans have since followed (including Ryan Reynolds, Jonah Hill and Tyson Beckford).

Hewlett recently talked about the experience of starting a brand and shared his lessons learned with Jennie Bell of Footwear News. With his wise-beyond-his-years determination, and a steadfast focus on handmade shoes and master craftsmanship, it’s easy to see why Hewlett – and Duke & Dexter – has such a bright future:

From Footwear News:
JB: hat prompted you to start a shoe label?
AH: “It was just to get away from the work I was doing. I didn’t go to university and instead went into property recruitment, but I didn’t enjoy it. It didn’t suit me at all. And funnily enough, I wanted to move out of London, but with recruitment it’s a job right in the center of London. So my sole aim at that time was to make enough money on the side [with this business] to be able to move back to where my parents live, which is out in the countryside. That was the main reasoning for starting things up. It was never a basis to become an entrepreneur.”

JB: What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far?
AH: The biggest lesson was to actually spend money. Because I started with literally 6,000 pounds, I was always money conscious because I didn’t want to go into debt and I didn’t want to bring in investors. I started the brand to get out of recruitment, not to build a global empire. It was weighing up time against expense, [and at the start] I had a lot more time than I did money.  As the business progressed, I became too conscious on using my time to deal with day-to-day stuff rather than taking on key hires, focusing on the future of the business and spending on things like moving factories, a new fulfillment house and moving our office into Soho in London. All of which, looking back, my former self would’ve had a heart attack about. But it had to be done. You have to spend and speculate to accumulate.

Buy: Desert Camo Loafer $202.54

JB: How do you keep yourself motivated?
AH: I guess that comes down to realizing that there was a business to drive. I didn’t know that to start. I had confidence, but I had no idea whether it would take off. And also, I think it comes from being built with a drive. I could always find ways to have a go at myself about missing targets here or there. It takes a never-ending, relentless energy to keeping things going.

SQLServer 2000 Reporting Services promises to fill the only real hole in the SQL Server product—the lack of a built-in reporting component. Once scheduled for release with the Yukon version of SQL Server, this new reporting functionality will now be available as a download by the end of the year. Here are Reporting Services' seven most important features.

7. Support for SQL Server and Analysis Services

Reporting Services can create reports for relational databases such as SQL Server and for Analysis Services. This flexibility lets users generate reports from SQL Server databases or Analysis Services cubes without using Office or other external applications.

6. Multiple Reporting Options

Reporting Services supports a variety of reporting formats, including Web-based, XML, email, and standard printed reports. In addition to these basic options, Reporting Services supports several more-sophisticated formats including Excel, PDF, and custom formats.

5. Multiple Data-Source Options

Reporting Services isn't limited to using data from Analysis Services and SQL Server databases. The new product is compatible with other databases, including Oracle. Data-source options include ODBC, OLE DB, XML for Analysis, and Web services. Reporting Services can use multiple data sources for a single report and can even use reports as sources for other reports.

4. Flexible Report Delivery

With support for both push- and pull-style report delivery, Reporting Services provides a flexible mechanism for generating reports. In pull-style report delivery, users can run previously created reports on demand. Users can also automate push-style report delivery so that the reporting server generates reports based on predetermined events, for example. Or, an administrator might set the server to generate a report every day at noon, then push the report to users.

3. Report Management

With Reporting Services, SQL Server uses a central catalog to publish and manage report definitions. The central catalog lets users subscribe to personalized reports and lets administrators limit who can run individual reports.

2. .NET Integration

Reporting Services provides a managed-code API that you can use to execute existing report definitions and produce custom report formats and renderings for multiple output devices. You can render reports for various printers, Windows graphical forms, Web-based HTML forms, and even handheld PC devices.

1. Graphical Report Authoring

Reporting Services has a powerful graphical report designer that lets users create report definitions by dragging and dropping design and data elements. Users can also preview reports and make changes before generating final report definitions.

How the Web is used in the Middle East

National Public Radio

Professor Sreenath Sreenivasan talks about the role the Internet is playing in the Middle East conflict

In the ongoing Middle East conflict, the Internet is a source of information and confusion. It can be difficult to tell what's reliable, as all sides use the Web as a forum for passionate communication, persuasion and debate. Sreenath Sreenivasan, is a new media professor at Columbia University's School of Journalism. He warns Internet surfers should beware.

Professor SREENATH SREENIVASAN (New Media, Columbia University): Palestinians are using it to mobilize the world and world opinion rather than just internally. Because, let's face it, not a lot of people in a developing area of the world have access to the Internet. So it's used mainly to put pressure on outsiders, on supporters who might be outside the area and get people to think about what's happening and get out their point of view. And the Israelis are doing the same thing. Of course, there are many more Israelis, percentagewise, who are online than there are in almost any other country.

EDWARDS: So how do you know who to believe?

Prof. SREENIVASAN: You need to, when you see a Web site, look for things on the Web site that you might know a little something about. Look for the facts maybe in the history section of a particular Web site, something you know that happened that isn't open to interpretation and find that one thing--we call that a fact check that you want to do. And if you say, 'Well, if that fact is right, then maybe the rest of it is reasonably accurate.' You may also want to look for players that are outside the region but have an interest. So for example, the Council on Foreign Relations, the American council here, has a Web site called that has been built just to answer questions about terrorism and answers a lot of things about the Middle East, for example, from an American point of view. There will be people who live in other countries who think that's not exactly a neutral point of view either, but at least as an American trying to understand.

EDWARDS: How is misinformation used and what's it look like?

Prof. SREENIVASAN: Misinformation sometimes is very scary because you go in there, you will see photographs of grisly deaths and death scenes. We don't know if those happened two months ago, two years ago or even if they're real. But when you see some of that, it's a problem. I have also seen very recently video that purports to be video of Daniel Pearl--the slain journalist, his execution. That's floating around the Internet. And those kind of things, we don't know what that is, and it is being used, for example, in the Daniel Pearl case, which is not, obviously, directly the Middle East, but it's being used as propaganda. And that video may not be real. We hope it's not real that's available and it's available to any young child who goes online and knows where to look.

EDWARDS: Or some young child may have originated it. I mean, so much of what I see there is unsigned, undated. You don't know where it comes from.

Prof. SREENIVASAN: And that's a problem. What we want to do is try to--one of the conventions of people who are teaching how to make Web pages--we keep telling people, 'Please put last updated on your Web site,' so at least we know that. Even if we don't know how much to trust the Web site, at least we know when was the last time this information was updated. Put sources on there. This is a problem that teachers are having in classrooms because students are just downloading articles and things. Teachers are trying to find standards and other people who are trying to deal with information. We're not getting away from this. The Internet is not going away, but if we can all just learn to cut through some of it, maybe we will be able to get a handle on it.

EDWARDS: Sreenath Sreenivasan is a new media professor at Columbia University's School of Journalism.

The time is 29 minutes past the hour.

Socialist Fox on 'power to the people' trip

SCOTTISH Socialist leader Colin Fox is to visit Torness nuclear power station on Monday.
The Lothians MSP is expected to meet senior managers and tour the plant.
He said: "I am a convinced opponent of nuclear power but an opponent who wants to conduct the debate about new nuclear capacity and our energy needs on the basis of facts. My visit to Torness is at my own request."
"In particular I want to explore how, in a non-nuclear world, we can harness the experience and skills of the workers who are employed at Torness."
Mr Fox said he hoped to discuss the mechanics of decommissioning nuclear stations and how the skills of the current workforce could be used.
He added: "The Torness site must also have potential, as a coastal location, to play a part in the development of wind and wave power and one thing which I think is urgent is for British Energy to carry out a skills audit of its workforce to assist in slotting them into jobs or further training."
Mr Fox offered to hold a public meeting or debate after his visit.
He said: "Opponents of nuclear power have to set about the serious work of explaining their alternative to both the workers and the public. I for one would be happy, after my visit, to put my case to the people who work in and live near Torness."

Do You Hear What I Hear? Part 4

It's time once again to clean up the MP3 player and add some new music.  Here are a few songs that I am loving at the moment.

The Boxer Rebellion - Diamonds

I love the 80's sound to this Brit-Indie band.  Formed in London in 2001, this band consists of a Tennessee native, Nathan Nicholson, an Australian lead guitar player, Todd Howe and two Englishman (drums and bass).  They have so far released three studio albums and a few compilations, but their most recent release on March 14, 2013 included this cut.

Emeli Sande - Next to Me (Acoustic)

Adele Emeli Gouraguine, know better as Emeli Sande is an English born Scottish singer that shot up the charts in 2010.  In 2012 she received the Brit Awards Critics Choice Award and has written a number of songs for such artists as Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis and Susan Boyle.

She performed at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics.

I just can't quite get around the fact that this singing sensation sounds a heck of a lot like Beyonce (and I am NOT a fan of Beyonce).  She's hugely popular and slowly gaining momentum across the pond.

The Unlikely Candidates - "Follow my Feet"

Fort Worth, TX indie rockers, recently signed to Atlantic records.

Pearl Jam - "Sirens"

Formed in Seattle, WA in 1990, Pearl Jam is set to release their 10th studio album on October 14, 2013.  This single was released in September and the first time I heard it I loved it (and this is coming from someone who has never been much of a Pearl Jam fan).

Whereever you go you will see fruit trees,

so that they would have fruit.
This tree of delicious apples was growing next
to a sidewalk and it was free for the picking.

God's Provisions!

Sunday, September 30 was not like any Sunday we have had in Nauru. Since it was the 5th Sunday of the month we had lunch following the morning service then we closed the day with an early afternoon service. Leo took everyone home while I cleaned up the church area and did the dishes. We had a couple of hours rest and we headed to Bro. Danio's and Mona Lisa's Naurun church. What a blessing it was to be there, everyone was so friendly and kind. The singing was special and a real blessing to our hearts. Bro. Danio did the announcements, in Naurun, and gave the pulpit over to Leo, he preached from Matthew 9:35-38. We said our good byes and headed homes because we had arranged with a church group in the Netherlands to say hello to everyone on Skype. We had 'stood in the gap' with this group in 2011 and it was good to 'see' everyone again. What a blessing these folks were to us during our time there.

This is for you Bro. Richard ~~ God has provided in many ways including bananas growing in the front yard.

  1. Great Nannas Bro Leo...they look much better than our first bunch from the trees...it must have been all the watering I put in before we left :)
    Glad things are going well, on Nauru.
    Thanks again for standing in the Gap for us, Bro Adam
    p.s. thanks so much for the birthday wishes from the SS kids, it was a blessing :)

« Healthcare Costs: Who Gets The Money? | Main | Medicare Premiums Are On The Rise »

I would love to know where you found the information on the amount of money used to fund Let's Move ($400M + $26B). I've been ardently searching for this data, as I'm trying to get a handle on the overall costs of the "war on obesity" for a piece I'm working on, but have had very little luck. Thank you in advance!

Online bartering systems - giving them a whirl and reporting my findings!

My mother-in-law has a huge and prolific fig tree in her backyard, and a couple of weeks ago, she kindly suggested that I come and gather some before the birds got them, and see what I could do with them.

The tree is tall and a lot of the good fruit is at the top, so we tried various methods to get to the bounty, including standing on stools, bending branches towards us with broomsticks, and sending up small children. Eventually we got about a third of the fruits we coveted - about 2 kg of ripe figs, and 1.5 kg of green ones.

 I decided to see if I could sell or swap the figs, using various online bartering systems. I tried out:
* The MyGarden Trader
* The Wellington swap group on Oooby (out of our own back yards)
* The global Community Exchange System's Wellington network - a community currency system that's very well set up, once you get your head around the site navigation.

On the first day ...
For the first day I got no bites - except for a woman in Walthamstow, England who had logged into the Community Exchange System, and, without realising, hit a button that allowed her to see people's offerings from all over the world instead of just locally.

She asked if I would be willing to drop the figs off to her, as she had just broken her arm, and she invited me to a gardening group at the house of some people called Rob and Liz in Walthamstow village ... Well, frankly I would have LOVED to, but it was just a little too far to travel ...

But the next day ...
Hurray! I got another offer from the Community Exchange System (CES) - and this time it was from Wellington, NZ - someone wanting all the green figs. I looked up this woman's CES profile (hi Lillian!) and found that by happy chance one of her own offerings was clothing repairs.

Of course, when you use the CES, there's no need to do a direct swap. You sell your offerings to anyone on the system using whatever the unit of currency is in your area (in Wellington it's WITS), and you buy from anyone you like using the same currency. It's just like money. (And 1 WIT = 1 dollar.)

However, it seemed convenient that Lillian was offering clothing repairs when I had two skirts in desperate need of work. (I am a reluctant and very bad sewer.) For one thing, I could drop my skirts to her at the same time as the figs.

So that's what we did. I earned 10 WITS by selling her the figs, and I paid her 15 WITS for my skirt repairs, which I am very happy with.

Balancing the community exchange books
I am now in the red on the Community Exchange system, but that's okay.

Generally people in the system are encouraged to stay within 100 currency units of zero. That is, you can be up to 100 WITS in credit, or up to 100 WITS in debt, and there is no problem. Overall everything still stays in balance within the system, and it allows everyone involved some leeway to buy and sell at the times that work for them.

I'm quite excited about the possibilities of the WITS system in Wellington, and I hope it grows. The bigger it gets, and the more people become involved, the better and more useful it will be for everyone.

Back to the figs
I still had the ripe ones left, and they were getting riper and riper. I had no more offers from anywhere, so I decided to cook them myself. I made fig ice-cream, which was delicious!

If you've never had fig icecream, I can only say that in my opinion figs are one of the loveliest fruits for making frozen desserts from - with an incredible creamy mouthfeel.

 But I digress.

Wouldn't you know it, just after I had used all the figs I got TWO offers on them from the MyGarden Trader - offering variously to exchange cash, home-made preserves, freerange eggs, and home-harvested honey.

I've corresponded with one of the people who made an offer, and he is interested in more figs if I manage to get out to my mother-in-law's to pick them. So there are some possibilities there ...

And what of Oooby?
I know it sounds like, of the three systems I tried, the Oooby Wellington group was no help in my fig swap, but in fact it was, because I think it was the announcement I made there which sent Lillian over to the Community Exchange System to buy her figs using WITS.

So all in all, I would say all these trading systems are working nicely, and may they all continue to flourish and grow!

Hi Johanna,

What do you do with green figs? Do you ripen them, or use them green?

I tried fig ice cream once, from dried, imported figs, but it didn't really work. I chopped the figs and they were just hard lumps and not very tasty. Did you blend yours?

Thanks for the networking reviews, they all look very interesting.

Sandra - too heavy to stand on a soapbox, but undeterred said...

Oh Johanna, I love reading your blogging again. I've got my fingers crossed that you keep on posting here!

Madz said...

Kia Ora Johanna,
Thanks for the information on online bartering systems in Wellington. I have been thinking about looking into this for awhile as I like the idea of trading skills. Will definately look into some of these options.

Anna said...

Thanks so much for another excellent post! I've run off and joined up to the exchanges.

Ya'know if you had more figs you could bring them up to Seedy Sunday this weekend ;)

Johanna Knox said...

lus - I haven't used green figs myself, but apparently you can make good preserves from them.

They do ripen off the tree quite well too though.

I used fresh figs for the icecream, and boiled them, then blended them when they'd cooled. I also read that you can use dried figs if you soak them in hot water first to puff up.

Sandra - thanks a lot for your kind comment - I'm enjoying your blog as well!!!

Madz - would love to hear how you go.

Anna - yay - you're on WITS! Everyone buy Anna's Love Plant Life seeds!!!!!!

Could ideal pope candidate be someone 'outside the box'? Msgr. Hilgartner weighs in

As faithful Catholics wait for word from 115 cardinals in Rome to elect a new pope, the church continues to face issues of sexual abuse outside of conclave.

A new development this morning; the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles struck a deal to settle sex abuse lawsuits involving a defrocked priest who's now in prison. They agreed to pay nearly $10 million dollars to four different victims. The suits claim Cardinal Roger Mahony knew of the particular priest's behavior and allowed him to continue in his position. Right now, Cardinal Mahony is in Rome taking part in the conclave to elect the new pope.

Monsignor Richard Hilgartner, head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Secretariat on Divine Worship, offers his thoughts on the development and day two of conclave. The cardinals are barred from communicating with the world and have “media silence” during conclave, “so it's possible that they have no idea that this happened,” Monsignor Hilgartner says. It depends on when the L.A. Archdiocese reached their decision and if they were able to notify Cardinal Mahoney before the start of conclave.

Also this morning, a third ballot among the cardinals in conclave proved inconclusive. Now that the smoke from the Sistine Chapel chimney has emerged black, the speculation continues as to whether the next vote will be successful.

“There are lots of scenarios,” Hilgartner says. “I think that the longer it goes, the more outside the box they'll be thinking.” Depending on the conversations within the chapel doors, “it might be somebody that's not even been on a list.”

Father Edward Beck on why he believes the world's second youngest cardinal could be the next pope

On Thursday, Pope Benedict XVI began facing his final hours of as the sitting religious leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics. Earlier that morning Pope Benedict XVI met with more than 100 cardinals who must now choose his replacement. His decision to stand down - the first pope to do so in six centuries - has thrown the Roman Catholic Church into a whirl of activity. This morning, the CNN contributor Father Edward Beck joins “Starting Point” to talk about his resignation.

Regarding Pope Benedict XVI’s successor, Beck says, “there's a lot of talk that the Catholic Church is in the developing world, in Africa and Asia, so I want to go out a limb and I want to throw someone out from the developing nation of the Philippines, Cardinal Tagle.”

In November of last year at age 55, Tagle became the world's second youngest cardinal. Beck says Tagle also interesting because "he is so humble.”

“When he was bishop in… the Philippines, he would ride his bicycle. He would encounter all the people on the streets. He would invite the poor in his residence to eat,” Father Beck says.

Sr. Simone Campbell: Pope’s legacy to focus on his teachings and his 'courageous' decision to resign

On Thursday, Pope Benedict XVI pledged an "unconditional obedience" and respect to whoever takes up the reins after his dramatic resignation. During his final hours as pope he is expected to depart the Courtyard of San Damaso in his chopper and land in Castel Gandolfo – his temporary retirement home. Pope Benedict XVI is the first pope to resign in six centuries. At 8 p.m. (2 p.m. ET), the pope will officially be in retirement. This morning Sister Simone Campbell, Executive Director of NETWORK joins "Starting Point" to discuss the pope’s resignation becoming effective today.

Pope Benedict XVI’s legacy is defined by two significant and historic factors, Campbell says. The first is “his amazing teaching with regards to the economic challenges of our globalized world and really challenging the first world to be mindful of justice for everyone.” The second revolves around the “fact that he acknowledged his limitations in aging and has resigned. I think it was a very courageous act on his part and I think that boldness hopefully will help open up some new opportunities in the church.”

Campbell, who also serves as a member of the Sisters of Social Service, says the likelihood that the new pope will push hard to change the role for women within the Catholic Church is “probably slim to none.” She however remains hopeful adding “as we embrace reality of our modern world, women are moving more into roles of leadership and, quite frankly, the church needs us there more than they ever have. And so I think maybe it's going to happen just by doing. Often law follows practice, not leads practice.”

Cardinal Wuerl: Next pope will have to focus on the Catholic message in a way that catches people's attention

New information this morning about why Pope Benedict XVI decided to resign. At a news conference earlier, the Vatican said the Pope doesn't feel he has the strength to continue, and there's now already speculation over just who's going to replace him.

There's already a list of front runners as potential options. One of the men on the list is His Eminence, Cardinal Donald Wuerl. He's the archbishop of Washington, and he's a voting member of the impending conclave which will elect a new Pope. He talks with Soledad on "Starting Point" about the selection of a new pope.

Wuerl responds to chatter that he could be selected as the next pope.

"I think at this point, we're talking about fantasy more than reality," he says. "The future is going to be directed to who will be a Pope who will continue to focus on the spiritual mission of the church. That's at the heart of who we are, and Pope Benedict has done that, I think, with great success, to try to keep the focus on the gospel, the mission of the gospel."

Wuerl says the key for the next pope will be engagement.

"I think where we are and where the church always is, is to take the received teaching. This is what Jesus said to us, and that's what we keep repeating, but we have to find ways of saying it so we catch the attention of people today. I deal with an awful lot of young people, young adults, and they just don't know the message. I think the next Pope is going to have to focus on this as what we believe...This is the message, love one another, be good to one another, build a world of peace and justice and kindness, but to say it in a way that we catch people's attention and their hearts."

An arbiter-general was a position in the Galactic Republic that involved arbitrating disputes between different worlds, species, persons and cities. Mon Mothma's father held such a position, and Mon Mothma learned diplomacy from him which served her well in her position as a senator in the Galactic Senate.[1]

Uaua was the the most prominent planet within the Ua system of the Centrality, and home to the avian Quor'sav species. Centrality colonists introduced a virus to the planet that was merely carried by mammalian biology, but was fatal to avian species. As a result, non-avian species were not welcome or trusted on Uaua; even insect life on that world seemed to harass offworlders with undue prejudice.

[UPDATE #2] Pre-Game Notes (Pittsburgh VS Philadelphia)

[UPDATE] The penguins webpage is reporting that Guerin was on the ice for this morning's skate and will, in fact, be in the lineup tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers -- GOOD NEWS (THANKS, Ed!)!!!
"It was a stinger type of thing," Guerin said. "It goes away. Its fine. I just wanted to get my skate off and get some ice on it."
[UPDATE] According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Dan Bylsma said he is "preparing like (winger Bill Guerin) is playing" for the Penguins tonight against the Flyers at Philadelphia.

His right skate boot was hit by a puck late in the third period on Tuesday night and Guerin did not finish the game.

no word on whether or not he'll be in the lineup tonight since hearing on WTAE-tv that he wasn't at practice yesterday -- I honestly would probably consider that their usual "maintenance day," but I'll be on the lookout and post any updates on it when I find them!

Kunitz-Crosby-Guerin (?)

Fleury in goal

Philadelphia Injury / Lines Info
three injured Flyers could return to Philly's lineup tonight: Simon Gagne, Blair Betts and Darroll Powe (I've read several reports that Betts return tonight)

  • Ray Emery (G), abdominal surgery - out until mid-January
  • Simon Gagne (F), hernia surgery - probably
  • Braydon Coburn (D), ruptured cyst in his ankle - OK to play Tuesday and will be in the lineup tonight
  • Ole-Kristian Tollefson (D), sprained left knee - out 3-4 weeks

Adesta said...

I knew Billy couldn't stay away. Hope that all is as ok as he is letting on though. Don't want him to go playing tonight and making it worse.

I can't wait for this game. Thank God for the Centre Ice Package!!!!

Stephanie said...

I know - like when Bylsma finally "forced" Malkin to sit out!! I think alot of fans feel the same way about Center Ice. Do you watch on your computer or are you able to get that on your TV??

CrackerLilo said...

I hope Guerin's not trying to brave-face when he shouldn't, too. I love him, but I'd rather have one or two games without him than one or two months, given the choice. I was so relieved that Staal could get back into the game on Tuesday. I don't think either of them would feel real pressure to play through pain, since we do have everyone else on the team good to play. *knocks on wood*

I am a Floridian in NYC. I am married to a Red Wings fan. (We didn't know what rivals our teams would become.) We are *extremely* grateful for Center Ice!

Had to give you one more shot of the Pierson and So-Cal coupes.

Lastly, here's what it's all about...  old friends catching up. Hot rod pioneer Tommy Sparks catching up with old friend and hot rod/custom car legend Dean Jeffries.

( Look for the new Tom Cotter book on Dean Jeffries that is hitting the stands now. Also, be sure to check out the extensive feature on Tom Sparks in the next issue of The Rodder's Journal ).

Would have loved to have seen the lakes coupes side by side. I toured the Petersen museum years ago, and can't recall if I saw either car there, unfortunately. I was in a bit of a whirl on that trip, and details don't stand out now.

Seeing icons of rodding come together is awesome. It's nice that you got to experience this up close. These guys won't be around much longer, and it's important we appreciate their time while we can.

Phattime’s Learning Network: Empowering Our Youth

Phattime’s Learning Network:

Empowering Our Youth

by Stephanie Jeannot & Alvin Rogers

When the weather gets nice, most of our youth find their energy being dissolved into playing in the courtyards and having uproarious fun with friends.

Who could blame them? This winter has been so brutal and long, it makes sense why they would find pleasure in enjoying the great outdoors after hours, now that the evenings are dressed in warm sunlight. Yet, there are many other young people who have found refuge in mentors such as Alvin Rogers and Dan Johnson of the Phattime "the learning network" a 501(3c).

Phattime harnesses the power of social media and digital media platforms to empower urban youth. Phattime bridges cognitive learning principles with social networking methodologies: students have a personal space, which can be uniquely designed; students are able to invite friends to their network. Designed specifically for community organizations, The Phattime portal allows for shared information: student grades, attendance and test scores between teachers, parents and students. Parents can view student grades, attendance and dialog with teachers securely over the web.

"Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family" [Kofi Annan]. To know the power of transformation is to open doors to true intellect and the future. All students, well off or low income, ought to have access to information, and skills. It is essential that they explore their own assumptions and feelings about a particular topic or situation.

Phatttime "the learning network"  has made their center of interest, to open new opportunities of learning to those who seem to have been cut off from access to empowerment. Under the guidance of coordinator, Ian Holly, this program had its first pilot run at Graham Windham's Beacon Center located at 301 west 140th street in Harlem. Like Rogers and Johnson, Graham Windham's mission is to "help under-served children overcome obstacles on the path to self-sufficiency by giving them the skills to succeed.

With their pilot program, Rogers and Johnson, have found an interesting way of delivering Mobile App Development using Cloud Technologies to Harlem Youth. They have taken those interested in positive change by the hand and geared them with tools that can definitely move mountains.

It's been said that you create great men while young. These kids show their greatness beyond the typical classroom, gaining advantage in this booming technological world and embrace the education with true interest. Opportunity is not always fair gain or easy access, but this is Phattime's purpose; affording intellectuals of the future, right where access to this information is deserved.

What would make this program even better would be funding. This grassroots organization feeds the youth with priceless information, worth more than wealth in itself. In truth, "obtaining intellectual capital is the key to American competitiveness and prosperity - Those with intellectual capital will qualify for professional positions those without it will find themselves working as cashiers, clerks, or custodians" [E. D. Hirsch].

This is what makes Phattime a great organization; they benefit "humanity." For more information on this organization, visit their website at

For I have a new Website!! Go forth...browse... contact me...tell me your thoughts about Basketcase 2. Lets converse on the wonders of giant monsters...Or book a gig...or talk about bass...or talk about how awesome blood red moons are!

Oh and the Flat Earth Agenda Album is finished. Artwork and packaging to be determined. Soon my monkeys....soon

New Skjold Bass!!

I have a new Skjold offset '92 Sixstring Bass!!

I did a video talking about it. I recently had it in the studio and I am VERY happy with this bass. The preamp is incredibly versatile and it feels great and is great to play.
Pete makes a fantastic bass. Below are some pics and the vid. Some details about the bass:

I suggest using headphones to really "hear" the bass. Even though youtube compressed the audio, I think the sound of the bass still comes through.

Skjold Offset '92 Six Stringed Fretted Bass:

Swamp ash body
Maple neck
Ebony fingerboard
Redwood top
SC-1 pickups
Vol/vol tone with dual mid control Skjold-tone preamp.

The control boost the mid and cuts the mids and is sweepable from 250hz to 2,5Khz, when you cut the mids it also boosts the treble and bass ranges which follow the frequency band as you turn it so it becomes a variable contour.

The bottom knob is the sweep and varies the sound quite a bit. Sweeping that lower knob in the cut mode will give you about three different useable slap tones and the boost function will give you a lot of possibilities when playing fingerstyle.

House Concert... and some music...

It's been a while... I know.  Here are a few things that are going on

I am pleased to announce that we will be hosting a house concert for Bassist Trip Wamsley.

Trip's playing takes on both the rhythmic bass and melodic lead roles, harmonics and overtones are flung about effortlessly. Right hand, left hand, all ten fingers, tuning keys and every ounce of potential is used to bring forth music from his finely crafted instruments. Musicains will appreciate his creative use of both fretted and fretless basses, special effects and detuners. Trip is the introduction to the bass guitar as a complete orchestra.

A $10 donation is suggested.

What's a house concert you ask?

A house concert is a chance to experience live music in a warm and intimate environment. It's when someone opens up their home and invites you into their living room to share in a performance by one of their favorite musicians. It's a chance to meet the performers and get them to sign and personalize their CD. A house concert is also a great social evening with friends and neighbors.

Plus...sometimes there's food!

Dave and I will also open the nights event.

Here's Trip doing his thing:

A full Bio on trip can be located here:

Anyone in the Toledo Ohio area contact me for location and time.

Also... Dave and I are halfway through our follow up full length under the name Flat Earth Agenda.
Here is a sample of what's going to be on the album. I suggest using headphones as laptop speakers will not pick up the low end. This track is also not mastered and is not hard limited.

More soon

One Day Of Bass

Greetings Humans....Get comfy... This post is a bit long.

There were 10 Bassists and their bands present at this years One Day of Bass in Chicago. This event was brought to you by Jauqo III-X and New Life Portage Park....and the letter B. This was an all day event. We got there at 1pm and left after 10pm.

Let's get started shall we

First up was Ian Zamost and his drummer with some rockin' effects heavy slap. Nice way to start the days event.

Next we had Tim Siesser and his band. For some reason I have no footage of this set. Which is a shame...This is one tight act. The melodies present were wonderfully pleasing. I do have a pic though.

Bill Clements was insane...figuratively....He did appear to be in his right mind. Apparently he and his percussionists Were winging much of the set and damn that's brave and amazing. It was rather stunning to witness.

Apologies for my phone camera....I do however have a clear picture of Bill's Lakland and his boots:

Will Howard was smooth and mellow...compared to the high energy of bill...He told a story about one of the basses he was playing. He picked it up at a garage sale for 100 bucks. This is not the 100 bass... It's on the stand next to him glowing...

Dave and I played after Will. It was HOT on that stage. Minimal that's good. I played through a Genz Benz streamliner 900 paired with a 210 ubercab for the first time and I was really impressed. I had to turn some of the low end down! I basically ran it pretty flat, mostly because I can get a lot of the tone I need from my Skjold Bass. couple that with the fact that I loop... some of the cabs I've used seem to have a hard time with all the layers that I use. I detected no issues from this rig. I was very impressed. I wanted to try out he Overton amps and cabs that were there but didn't get a chance to... So I can't comment on them other than to say they sounded good when the other performers used them.

Ken "Mr. Lotus" Edmond Bass and drum groove oriented jams with the bass thick with effects....Lovely.

Michael Cybulskie "Big Mikey C" was very impressive indeed. He uses a short scale Watson bass. I believe he said it is 30.7 scale. That man can play! He's tight...very good stuff here. Did some Rocco Prestia stuff and some Jaco and a solo piece as well. Was very happy to have seen this.

Vuyani Wakaba and his band utilized some very impressive percussive was wonderful. Smooth soloing from Vuyani.

Jauqo III-X played his signature Avant-Funk with his band. Another apology for my camera phone... Had to get this one while plugged in from the back of the room:

Quintin Berry blew us all away...He has a very unique way of playing the bass. He also had everyone gather around the stage....that was great. by the end of the night everyone had spread out and he made the evening intimate...My Drummer even got to perform with Quintin through some Kings X and Jimy Hendricks. A wonderful way to end the night.

Many thanks to Jauqo II-X and New Life Portage Park for putting on the show. thanks to the sponsers, Genz Benz, DNA Amplification, Overton Amplification, Thunderfunk and Ashdown. Skjold Design Guitars, Specter basses, Lakland basses,HJC Customs for providing a custom build for the raffle, DR Strings ... good lord I know I'm forgetting some... You can dig on the flyer here...the sponsers are listed:

I'd have to say the biggest thing I learn from these events is to Breath... your thing. Because ultimately everyone is so different in approach from player to player, even if they are similar in genre.

And now for some video:

I am totally in love with the “Terry Richardson” style of photography.

Ever since the idea came to me that I would want to take blog pictures indoors in my room, the flash photography look of Terry Richardson’s work has always been an inspiration. I immediately thought of flash, in a slightly “harsh” look that most photo-freaks stray away from; but I like it. I am now thinking of buying some better lighting and a wireless remote. I’m adding that to the 100 or so things on my wishlist. I REALLY regret not finding/having a job right now.

I should also talk about my outfit. Well I’ve long been a fan of mixing denim together. It’s right up my alley with the whole “monochromacy” (is that a word?). It’s a nice and simplistic way of adding interest to the eyes. It’s weird, the good type.

ps. YES, it was necessary to dress like this during the time as the rain was POURING. It’s very summer-y now though. Let’s it stays like this for a while.

Back From Idaho

John and Anne before the baby showerIt was a great trip, full of baby fun and anticipation.

This is John and Anne before the baby shower on Saturday.

While in Idaho I spent less than ten minutes thinking about knitting. Does that mean I'm not addicted like the knitters on the lists are always claiming to be?

For the few minutes I did think about knitting, I hauled John's Basketweave Ribbing Sock out of my suitcase, brought it downstairs and left it out where we couldn't help seeing it. Later that day John tried it on and we were pleased to note that it fits perfectly. Once the toe is Kitchenered and the two ends woven in, the first sock will be done.

I thought I might get the second sock on the needles today, but it didn't happen. I'm not sure where today went, but not very much got accomplished. Tomorrow will be better.

Sydney's nursery with a crib full of stuffed animalsWizards, castles, unicorns, and lots of dragons decorate Sydney's nursery.

The walls are painted a periwinkle blue. The crib is full of stuffed animals just waiting for her arrival. They probably don't realize that when she takes over the crib, they are going to have to get out - at least until she's older.

Lake Coeur d'AleneIt is premature springtime in Idaho. It was in the 50s and the sun was shining. Not necessarily a good thing.

They haven't had their usual snow this winter, not even in the mountains.

According to Son John (who I'm sure will correct me if this isn't right), they will probably have a drought this summer since there isn't a snow pack to melt and feed the lakes, streams, and rivers.

Driving around sight seeing on Sunday we could see that the water level in Lake Coeur d'Alene is low. It is still very beautiful.

For anyone interested, there are more pictures of the trip here.

Wish I could send Idaho some of our snow. It's coming down cold and heavy in Michigan tonight. Looks like we've got about six inches so far.

It's March. This snow isn't going to stick around very long. Any day now we will see the first robin and the first bluebird. By the end of the month the Phoebes will be here checking out their nest for another summer of raising little Phoebes.

And most exciting of all, this spring my granddaughter Sydney will be born.

Welcome back Marguerite! Your pictures are beautiful and your son & daughter-in-law look so happy! I grew up near there (in Spokane) so I know how beautiful that area is. I went to camp every summer on Lake Coeur d'Alene. I've missed your blogging, and am happy the socks were right.
Now, about that pattern.....

John works at the Coeur d'Alene Resort. We had brunch there Sunday morning. Cream Brulee French toast. So good.

N is for Nest

ABC Along Button

Swallow nest with six two-week old hatchlings
Tree Swallow Nest
The tree swallow young are two weeks old, and they are looking like miniature swallows. This picture was taken on the last day I'll be able to open the nest box without the risk of them flying out prematurely.

I've been taking pictures for the past week with no success in getting anything that shows the little birds very well. I can hear them chirping as I approach the nest box, but as soon as I open it they dive down and cover their heads.

At the end of my ring finger is a little swallow peeking out to give me the evil eye. They want me to go away so their parents can bring more food.

Tree swallows like to feather their nest with white feathers. I read about a study showing the more white feathers, the more likely a successful nest. These swallows did a great job with the feathers and it looks like all six hatchlings are healthy and likely to fledge.

Dive bombing swallow parent
The tree swallow parents weren't happy with me being in the nest box. They were both flying in circles dive bombing my head while telling me off with their chatter.

Fritillary on purple clover
Around the nest box were numerous fritillaries flying around. They like the sweet purple clover, one of the many abundant wildflowers in the back three acres.
