Laurel Halo is an up-and-coming Brooklyn based bedroom artist who crafts complex beats out of warped electronica and dreamy vocals. Her hotly anticipated new Hour Logic EP is will be available in a matter of days (May 3 on Hippos in Tanks) and is bound to soundtrack all the uber-hip Brooklyn dance parties that neither you nor I will be attending this Summer. Here's a taste of Halo's work, "Supersymmetry," a single off of her last EP King Felix. Halo has promised a more techno oriented sound in her upcoming work, and you can definitely hear the beginnings of that underneath "Supersymmetry"s dreamy, synthpop-infused electronica.
The Washington Post March 13, 2005 Downside: The DB9 coupe's sun visors are narrow, designed to comply with the sleekness of the car's interior. That's great styling but lousy ergonomics. Those visors can become practically useless when driving into direct sunlight. There are also the usual sports car bugaboos — two rear seats that are seats in name only; a low ground clearance that turns speed bumps and dips into jolting obstacles; and little luggage space.
Ride, acceleration and handling: Excellent overall ride. Superior handling. The car moves from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds.
Head-turning quotient: The DB9 snapped necks all over San Diego County. At the Hotel del Coronado, attendants fought for the chance to park the car.
Body style/layout: The DB9 coupe has a mid-front-mounted engine. It is a two-door with rear-wheel drive. The DB9 is also available as the stunningly beautiful Aston Martin Volante convertible. The 2005 DB9 replaces the Aston Martin DB7. The DB9 is built on a completely new bonded-aluminum platform.
Engine/transmission: The car is equipped with a 6-liter V-12 gasoline engine that develops 450 horsepower at 6,000 revolutions per minute and 420 foot-pounds of torque at 5,000 rpm. A six-speed automatic transmission that also can be shifted manually (using paddle shifters on either side of the steering wheel) is standard.
Cargo and fuel capacities: There are four seats in the DB9 coupe, but the car actually has adequate seating only for the driver and front passenger, as is the case with most sports coupes. Luggage capacity is a scant 6.1 cubic feet. The fuel tank holds 22 gallons of required premium gasoline.
Mileage: I averaged 18 miles per gallon mostly in highway driving.
Price: The base price on the tested DB9 coupe is $160,000. No dealer invoice price was available at this writing. Price as tested is $177,150, including $15,800 in options and a $1,350 destination charge. The price does not include possible federal gas-guzzler taxes. Pricing information is sourced from Aston Martin, Kbb.com and Edmunds.com.
Purse-strings note: Aston Martin automobiles are largely built to customer specifications, so their prices vary based on customer orders. Compare with the Bentley Continental GT, Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG, Mercedes-Benz CL600 coupe and the Porsche 911 Turbo.

We have developed this comprehensive program after years of working with women and men like you. Every aspect of your reproductive health is addressed to optimize your natural fertility. We generally recommend that both partners are treated when fertility issues are present.
The ideal situation is to prepare yourself for having a baby. The quality of the egg and sperm at the time of conception and the health of your body during pregnancy is directly related to the health of your future baby.
We recommend 3 months of treatment for detoxification, regulating your menstruation, and strengthening your body.
Frequency of visits: One visit per month is necessary for acupuncture and prescription revision. If possible a second acupuncture session per month is recommended. A normal prescription ranges from $50-$125 per month.
Enhance your health and fertility to promote a natural conception with a combination of acupuncture, Total Body Analysis, Biotherapeutic drainage remedies, Chinese herbs, nutritional guidance and supplements, reflexology, and CranioSacral Therapy. Treatment is tailored to your specific situation.
Treatment plans usually span 4-6 months.
Acupuncture has been proven to increase blood flow to the reproductive organs, reduce the amount of medication needed, and increase pregnancy rates when used in conjunction with IVF.
Frequency of visits: Acupuncture visits are recommended every 1-2 weeks to support medical fertility treatment. Two sessions during the stimulation phase and one session close to the transfer is recommended for IVF cycles.
The patient benefits greatly… This is the conclusion that I have arrived at after years of collaborating with Brooke. The patient who is doing medical fertility treatment feels that they are doing everything they can and the degree of satisfaction with the process is much greater. Brooke is a skilled professional, and working as a team has improved the quality of our work, and I recommend Brooke without any doubt.
Acupuncture is a fundamental aspect of treatment. Very thin, sterile, disposable needles are placed in points on the body. You will relax deeply while you rest with the needles in for 25-30 minutes. Acupuncture is used to support hormone balance, improve circulation to the reproductive system and help to reduce the effects of stress.
This is one of the main tools to help determine your treatment plan. The system consists of over 1000 vials imprinted with the different frequencies of the parts of the body and the frequencies of things that cause dysfunction. Using muscle testing it is possible to have a deeper under-standing of what the body needs and allows Brooke to make individualized remedies or acts as a guide to find the most effective natural products for your body.
This therapy uses products made from substances of the plant, mineral, and animal kingdom that are specially prepared to cleanse the body on an intra-cellular level. This is the deepest form of detoxification. Remedies prepared by the Total Body Analysis system also have this effect.
Chinese Herbal Medicine has been used for almost 2000 years to support reproductive health. Chinese herbs are used to support hormone production and balance. They are some of the most nourishing substances known and can help blood production and to improve egg and sperm quality. If appropriate, custom herbal formulas will be designed to support your individual needs.
- increase the energy of the body.
Focus is placed on eating a whole food, nutritionally rich diet. Using the Total Body Analysis it is possible to check if it is necessary to add specific nutrient supplements to support any deficiencies. Certain vitamins, minerals, and amino acids have more importance to reproductive health and will be evaluated.
CranioSacral Therapy was developed in the U.S. by osteopath William G. Sutherland. The technique uses very gentle touch to release restrictions in the membranes that surround and penetrate the brain and spinal cord, as well as the connective tissue through the body.
In fertility treatments this therapy helps to improve the function of the endocrine glands that reside within the brain. It also releases tension in the pelvis to improve circulation to the ovaries and assist in the proper positioning of the uterus.
Reflexology aims to rebalance the body's systems by applying focused pressure on specific points or reflexes on the feet. Reflexology is deeply relaxing and can help to improve circulation to the reproductive organs and balance hormones.
Essential oils are often used during acupuncture sessions to help deepen relaxation and support emotional well-being. Essential oils have the ability to work on the emotional level helping to release trauma and general stresses of daily living.
Flower essences are vibrational in nature and are scentless. They work deeply to resolve many types of emotional and mental stress. They are made from spring water infused with wild flowers, either by the sun-steeped method or by boiling. They gently restore the balance between mind and body and can help to reverse the effects of stress on the body as well as help be at peace with your current situation.
At 32 years I became a mother without any problems. I had a precious daughter that filled our lives with a very special light. Several years later I felt that my daughter needed a sibling. I thought that it would be easy, but in the end it turned out to be the most difficult and heartbreaking experience of my life. After 5 miscarriages, 5 babies who go to the land of babies that are never born (as we explained to my daughter), 5 losses, 5 failures, I was about to give up and accept that it was not meant to be. It was at this point an angel came into my life. I was recommended to Brooke and her natural fertility program. I was a good student and I changed many of my dietary habits. Many of my favorite things turned out to be the most damaging. I took all of the vitamins and the Chinese herbs…and our first attempt I became pregnant with my son who is only 15 days old. He looks at me saying 'Look mom, I am finally here!' I am eternally grateful.

I ended up buying the HT Omega Claro 2 and it arrived yesterday.
Unfortunately it isn't working as expected as it isn't activated as audio card (it isn't activated at all).
At first (as I boot the PC) there is no audio files (meaning no /proc/asound/cards, /dev/snd/*, etc.).
I have no idea where alsactl got that '---' option as all ALSA configurations files are totally clean (for other reasons I did a clean Gentoo install in these couple of days).
SubVendor: pci 0x10de "nVidia Corporation"
Model: "C-Media Electronics CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio]"
Vendor: pci 0x13f6 "C-Media Electronics Inc"
Device: pci 0x8788 "CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio]"
SubVendor: pci 0x7284 "HT OMEGA Inc."
From what I can understand from the above two commands, the card isn't associated to the driver because its Module Alias isn't included on the driver aliases.
Is there anything I can do to make the cards work?
I've never tried loading it as a module. I always built the driver into the kernel. zero config and all that.
I don't know what the problem here is but I'd be willing to bet that it gets nailed down as a problem with udev.
Just tried to recompile the kernel with ALSA and the oxygen module as builtin, but without changes.
Ouch!!! I hate having problems with udev: I tried to make custom udev rules in the past to handle other devices, but always without success and in all cases either KDE or something else eventually got updated soon after to auto-mount the device I was interested in (for example the incoming KDE 4.10 will support the mount of smartphones with MTP), so I never had the need to investigate further.
Anyone has any idea on how I can troubleshoot it?
Try rebuilding alsa-lib, alsa-headers, and alsa-utils then try and run alsaconf and see if that helps out any. make sure that etc-update is run. It may have something to do with asoundrc.
EDIT: Also I'd like to see the full output of lsmod. I've been doing some searching and it seems that if soundcore was compiled as a module, but not loaded then this could be the cause of your problem.
EDIT2: After further searching it also seems that this could be an issue if you have the inkernel alsa compiled as modules and you also have alsa-drivers emerged. The solution to that would be to unmerge alsa-drivers then delete the kernels alsa modules and then rebuild the kernels modules.
It is worth a try; tomorrow evening I will try to re-emerge those packages and get the output of lsmod (can't do right now since I have already temporarily mounted back the Creative Audigy and it is 2:15 AM here in Italy ).
Thats cool... Hopefully by then someone will read this thread and say "Hey I know what is going on and here is how to fix it!!"
which simply disables the onboard sound on the motherboard.
into the kernel rather than as modules, simply because I do not use modules.
All hardware drivers are always loaded. There are no "is the module loaded"
no "driver info #1:" for the C-media device.
Tried and still both alcaconf and /proc/asound/cards reports no cards. I dont' have any custom asoundrc.
I do not have the alsa-drivers installed. Just relying on the kernel's ALSA.
I don't know why, but that Nvidia sound card is something related to the video card. The real onboard card is a "Realtek ALC889 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC" and it is already disabled on the BIOS. Plus I blacklisted both snd_usb_audio (related to the webcam) and snd_hda_intel. As a matter of fact when I have the Audigy installed (that uses the PCI slot too) it is the only audio card active. Therefore I don't thing that the nvidia audio is causing any conflicts.
in BIOS and hda intel disabled in the kernel .config, then it should not interfere.
the Claro II and not with the Soundblasters, that would be a surprise.
All of the modules seem to be loaded fine. I don't know that anything is missing. What does your .config for the alsa section look like?
of on-board sound and the relationship between the "sound card"
a better chance of figuring out what the problem is.

"• Is there anything in the Bible against giving one's eyes (after death) to be transplanted to some living person?—L. C., United States.
"• Is there any Scriptural objection to donating one's body for use in medical research or to accepting organs for transplant from such a source?-W. L., U.S.A.
Most people would probably be surprised at the idea that an organ transplant is cannibalism, but the WTS argued that this was the case. And again, Jehovah's Witnesses would have to toe the line. They should rather die or be crippled than accept an organ transplant, and for the next thirteen years, that is exactly what faithful brothers and sisters did. That is until the WTS changed their mind again about organ transplants.
In the same magazine, some health reports about certain risks in organ transplants are extrapolated to make it appear like the benefit is virtually zero and the risks are huge. We have seen this pattern in the WTS attempts to demonize vaccinations, we see it used on organ transplants and, as we will see later, it is especially evident in statements about blood transfusions.
An interesting motivation behind this view of organ transplants is a peculiar idea about the heart. Like the above article strongly suggested that a kidney transplant caused emotional change, the WTS argued that we do indeed think with our literal heart. When the Bible mentions heart as a seat for our deepest emotions and wishes, people will understand this symbolically, realizing that these things physically reside in the brain. Not so with leaders of the WTS.
Some Witnesses will still remember a drama at the "Divine Name" convention the following summer on this topic, where the point that we really store information in our hearts was illustrated by giant, glowing, talking models of a heart and brain! Needless to say, JW's with any understanding of science or medicine were deeply embarrassed by these teachings. This surely illustrates the danger of allowing men with such shallow reasoning based on quack science to decide life and death matters for a community of millions of JW's.
In the same article, the WTS even argued that people who accepted donor hearts lost their personalities, and more than hinted that people who had donor hearts were really heartless!
• Two babies were infected with syphilis by blood transfusions at Germany's Kiel University Clinic last year, reports Wiesbadener Kurier. Infection spread to the parents. Not knowing the source, at least one of the families involved threatened to break up, each partner accusing the other of being unfaithful. Even though the truth came out in court, the damage was done. "Two people will have told one another things of which they would be ashamed when they learned the truth," notes the article.
It certainly appears that the WTS writers search newspapers and magazines all over the world for these articles, and would of course never give a single reference to positive results of blood transfusions or organ transplants as long as these are prohibited.
"• Should congregation action be taken if a baptized Christian accepts a human organ transplant, such as of a cornea or a kidney?
Again, as had happened when the ban on vaccinations had been lifted, there was not one word of apology to those who had been adversely affected. Also, the WTS is hypocritical when it pretends that "sincere Christians may feel" anything but what they have been told to feel. As with the blood prohibition, "sincere Christians" are not free to feel, they are only "free" to do exactly what the WTS tells them to do. When individual JWs risked their lives they did it because they were ordered to do so under threat of being disfellowshipped, and because they believed the WTS spoke for God. We must ask, did Jehovah God change his mind on these matters, or was the society simply wrong?
Last October, three-year-old Chandra Sharp was admitted to a hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A., with a heart that was not only enlarged but also failing. She was undernourished, her growth stunted, her weight only 19 pounds [9 kg], and she needed a heart transplant. She was given only a few weeks to live. Her parents agreed to the transplant but not to blood transfusion. They are Jehovah's Witnesses.
The article did not remind the reader that the WTS had taught the same as these ancients until just two years before. An inquiring JW who didn't'remember this prohibition would never find out. The Watchtower Publications Index 1930-1985 is carefully edited to remove any mention of "organ transplants." Please verify this for yourself. This embarrassing chapter in the Societies history was closed, and only the dead and wounded were left behind.
Can the WTS be sued if they expel or shun a Jehovah's Witnesses for accepting one o the 4 major components of blood? I think that its unfair that someone who has been baptized for over 40 years is expelled due to the confusing blood regulations the WTS follows. I want to know because I want to tale action against the policy if possible.
I need to no from the watchtower or awake tell me if a Jehovah witnesses can have an organ transplant say a kidney .I looked it up under Ajwrb.organ-transplants.they say it is up to that person is that right or wrong.i really would like to know I have to let the Dr.know to put my name on the list by 5:23,17.your dear sister.at the midcity con.
From the very first-time organ transplants were mention in 1967, it was a personal decision.
But I was very quickly able to look under "Transplanting" and find the relevant articles from both 1967 and 1980. Whether the references were once removed and have now been restored, I cannot say. I can only say that I found them easy to find in Watchtower Library 2017 Edition.
Also, the 1967 piece doesn't read, to me, as a ban on organ transplants. Undoubtedly it is extremely heavy-handed and puts a weighty load on the shoulders of anyones faced with this decision. It is quite plain in its opinion as to how a Christian ought to decide – but it still left it as a matter of individual conscience.
It is a prime example of the Organisation's cruel manipulation of its members thinking abilities and its crafty use of words that allows for future plausible deniability. But I feel on less sure ground when I think about using this period as an example of the Organisation's bloodguilt.
Are there more stories like it? I want to read it!
I am quite sure there are more stories like it. The issue is complex and requires people to come forward and disclose private details, and/or risk severe scrutiny from congregation elders. I can recall another incident in the congregation where I attended involving an elder in the late 1970's or early 1980's. He was told he needed a cornea transplant. The other elders cautioned him against it. He decided to write the Watchtower Society Service Department, and was eventually told that it would be left up to him. It was considered very controversial at the time.

Top Three Fat Burners
Top Three Testosterone Boosters 2021 (Updated)
Best Pre Workout Supplements of 2021 [Updated]
Best Nootropics of 2021 (Updated)
Elevate Cyclo Test Review
Supplements Tested Team | Testosterone Booster
Everyone always focuses on the big boys in the industry, so it's good to see what the 'lesser known' companies are creating. Elevate Cyclo Test contains some great ingredients, so we thought we'd see how it compares to others on the market.
Claimed to promote:
This testosterone booster supplement is aimed to deliver the right benefits, so we'll check whether it contains the right ingredients necessary to get the job done.
We're not sure which year Infinite Labs was originally set up, but we learned that it was bought by the current CEO in 2009. To be honest, there was more information about the unnamed CEO than the actual company itself.
The good news is that we can analyze how safe and effective Elevate Cyclo Test by taking a look at the ingredients that have been added to this test booster. And that's exactly what we'll do in the next section.
The Ingredients and How They Work
The first thing we always look for, is whether a product contains a proprietary blend. We're glad that Infinite Labs have decided against any with Elevate Cyclo Test, so you can see the dosages of each nutrient clearly listed.
Some more good news is that Infinite Labs has added fenugreek seed extract, a key player in the test boosting game.
But it's not all positives unfortunately; we can see that the vitamin d3 in Elevate Cyclo Test has been significantly underdosed, among other issues we'll expand on.
See for yourself:
Many people don't know that vitamin d3 is the 'sunshine' nutrient. It's synthesized by your skin after being exposed to sunlight, and it's shown to be responsible for not only improving your mood, but your testosterone levels too.
However, it's important to know that vitamin d3 has only shown to benefit your T levels when consumed in dosages over 3,332IU per daily serving.
The bad news is that Elevate Cyclo Test only contains a tiny 600IU dosage, meaning it's not likely to have much effect on your test levels.
At the end of the day, what makes the best products stand out are optimal dosages of effective nutrients. So we wish Infinite Labs had increased the dosage of vitamin d3 here.
Fenugreek Seed Extract
Fenugreek is often added to Indian cooking, but you might not know that it's shown to have a positive effect on testosterone levels.
Not only does fenugreek raise your T levels, but it's also known to raise your libido too – making it a perfect addition to a test booster supplement.
Infinite Labs has also dosed this well at 600mg per serving too. Good job by them.
While l-citrulline is a great ingredient in a pre workout supplement, it's not really necessary in a testosterone booster.
Here's why; l-citrulline hasn't shown to have any effect on your T levels in any study.
We can only guess that Infinite Labs has included l-citrulline in Elevate Cyclo Test to raise your nitric oxide levels. This would in turn increase your blood flow and potentially improve your erections (although there is no evidence to support this).
But that's not all. L-citrlline has shown to work best in dosages of 6000mg per serving. As Elevate Cyclo Test only contains 600mg, it's not going to reliably work either.
Overall, not the best choice of ingredients for a T-Booster supplement.
Boron Citrate
While there's 200mg boron citrate in Elevate Cyclo Test, there's 10mg of boron, which is the mineral that's shown to raise your T levels in studies.
This is a good dosage in Elevate Cyclo Test, as studies show that the lowest active dosage of boron is 3mg. Since there is more than this here, there's no reason why it shouldn't work.
L-Carnitine Tartrate
This is another ingredient that's more useful in pre workout supplements; l-carnitine has shown to reduce muscular fatigue, which will help keep you fresh for the next workout.
But the bad news is that l-carnitine hasn't shown any signs of being able to raise your testosterone levels, making it an unnecessary addition to Elevate Cyclo Test.
See SupplementTester's Highest Rated
– Testosterone Booster Supplements Here –
N-Acetyl-5-Methoxytryptamine
Not much is known about this ingredient, and it's the first time we've seen it included in a supplement. So we did some research, looking at some clinical trials to see how effective it is.
We found that this ingredient had shown slightly positive effects when consumed in dosages of 5mg. While Elevate Cyclo Test only contains 3mg, we still believe this would offer some level of benefits.
Good job by Infinite Labs for going against the grain. But in conclusion, there simply wasn't enough evidence to prove that N-Acetyl-5-Methoxytryptamine is equally as effective as more proven nutrients like vitamin d3.
Indole-3-Carbinol
You will have consumed this without knowing in the past, as it's commonly found in green vegetables like broccoli.
It's basically an aromatase inhibitor when consumed in bigger dosages than those found naturally in foods; this means it can help keep your estrogen levels down.
However, you won't be at risk from suffering raised estrogen levels with natural testosterone booster supplements (only steroids will put you at risk from this side effect).
As a result, there's no reason to suggest that indole-3-carbinol is actually necessary.
You might have read somewhere that tribulus terrestris is beneficial for your testosterone levels. So you might be shocked to hear that it's actually not shown to be effective in clinical studies.
That's not the worst part either. Basically, tribulus terrestris has shown worrying signs of being capable of causing prostate enlargement – not something you want to risk.
This is why we prefer to avoid supplements containing this ingredient.
Agaricus Bisporus Powder
Also known as white button mushroom…that's right, the same stuff that you cook as part of your meals.
But it might be more useful than you think; many believe that white button mushroom is able to lower your blood glucose and cholesterol levels – not bad if you're wanting to improve your general health.
The bad news is that white button mushroom hasn't shown to have any effect on your testosterone levels. So while it's a good 'bonus' addition, it's not entirely necessary either.
Calcium Glucarate
While this might seem great after doing a quick google search, once you look further into the studies, calcium glucarate doesn't seem very reliable – especially at the tiny 50mg dosage included in Elevate Cyclo Test.
In simple terms, calcium glucarate can help you flush out harmful toxins from your body (which many believe will prevent cancer). But in order for it to work, studies suggest that you need to consume 100mg per kg of bodyweight.
Clearly, the 50mg in Elevate Cyclo Test won't be effective here.
Fenugreek seed extract promotes higher T levels
Vitamin d3 can be a key addition to a T-Booster
Tribulus terrestris might put you at risk from prostate enlargement
Vitamin d3 significantly underdosed
Missing important T-Boosting nutrients like DAA
If you haven't skimmed through this review, you'll know that there are a few causes for concern with Elevate Cyclo Test.
Our biggest worry is due to this test booster containing tribulus terrestris; this has shown worrying signs of being able to cause prostate enlargement, which is something you want to avoid at all costs.
As a result, we recommend that you choose supplements that don't contain tribulus terrestris in the future.
Not what you're looking for? See our
– Top Three Testosterone Boosters Page –
Review Conclusion
We can see that Infinite Labs has tried to do the right thing by including some great ingreidents in Elevate Cyclo Test. Vitamin d3 and fenugreek seed extract are 2 that especially stand out in this regard.
But the issues arise when you notice that Elevate Cyclo Test also includes some potentially harmful ingredients like tribulus terrestris. We don't know about you, but we would rather avoid risks of prostate enlargement at all costs.
Ultimately, this isn't the worst testosterone booster we've seen on the market. Elevate Cyclo Test holds its ground against many T-Boosters avaialble, but it doesn't have that extra factor that allows it to defeat the best test boosters we've seen.

The Age of Smiling Secrets
Contact and Connection. And Empathy?
[Note: This story was first published in CLARITY (15 August 2019). It is published here with permission.]
The scene is familiar: It's Sunday evening and a family of four come into a restaurant for dinner. The waitress shows them to a table and before they even sit down, all four of them – father, mother, son and daughter – place their phones on the table. Orders are placed and while waiting for the food to arrive, they are glued to their phones.
Maybe, there'll be some respite when the food arrives. Maybe, they'll put away their phones for a while. Maybe, they'll even look at each other for a moment.
When the plates of fried rice, fried vegetables and steamed fish are placed in front of them, all four people adjust their positions. Having to use their hands for something other than holding their electronic gadgets, they scramble to prop their phones against glasses. Soon, they're entertained by watching the programme on their phones uninterrupted as they shove food into their mouths. Once they finish, the father takes a 30-second break to pay the bill and the family leaves the restaurant.
This complete disconnect with life is echoed by Dr. Swagata Roy during a recent panel discussion at 7C Life RealiZation Centre called 'Cyberworld's Psychological Impact: The Unknown Reality'. This educator and life observer recounts a story of giving an assignment to her students to write three words about what the internet means to them. Of all the answers, the one that stirkes her as odd is when one young man wrote, 'Disconnect. Disconnect. Disconnect.' Worried about him, she guessed that he must have been so bothered by what happened on Facebook. "When I spoke with him," she elaborates, "he explained, 'I have contacts, but we're not connected.'"
CONTACT V CONNECTION
This rather bleak statement falls squarely into a story that HH SwamiGuru told us a few weeks ago. It is a conversation between a journalist and Swami Vivekananda. Here is a paraphrased version of this story.
A journalist asked the monk, "Sir, in your last lecture, you told us about jogajog (contact) and sanjog (connection). It's really confusing. Can you please elaborate on this?"
The monk smiled and replied with a question: "Are you from New York?"
"Yes," said the journalist.
"Who is at home?"
Although he felt that the monk was avoiding answering his question, he still said, "Mother has expired. Father is there. Three brothers and one sister. All married."
"Do you talk to your father?"
Frowning, the journalist stared at the monk.
The persistent monk then asked, "When did you talk to him last?"
Pursing his lips, the journalist said, "Perhaps, a month ago."
"Do your brothers and sisters meet often? When did you last meet as a family?"
Sighing, the journalist said, "Christmas. Two years ago."
"How many days did you all stay together? How long did you spend with your father, just sitting beside him? Did you have your meals together? Did you ask how your father was? Did you ask him how he passed his days after his mother's death?"
Tears began to flow from the journalist's eyes.
The monk held the hand of the journalist and said, "Don't be embarrassed, upset or sad. I am sorry if I have hurt you unknowingly. But this is basically the answer to your question about contact and connection. You have contact with your father, but you don't have a connection with him. You are not connected to him. Connection is between heart and heart. Sitting together, sharing meals and caring for each other, touching, shaking hands, having eye contact, spending some time together."
The journalist wiped his tears away and said, "Thanks for teaching me a fine and unforgettable lesson."
SOMETHING MORE?
Certainly, this story shows how important it is to go beyond having someone as a 'contact' in your world. You need to have that connection with other human beings. Are these two enough, though, for the entire relationship to be a meaningful one? Should there be something more, especially within the family. What is this 'something more'? Can there be more? Should there be more? Is it healthy to have more?
"Being connected to one another is not only to understand one another, but to empathise with the other person," said our second panellist, Professor Dato' Dr. Andrew Mohanraj. "The cornerstone of being connected is to show empathy to the other human being. And when you do that, it enriches both your life and the life of the person connected to you." Also, once we appreciate the fact that everyone is somehow interconnected, life is far more meaningful.
So, what is empathy? The dictionary definition states that it's the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. HH SwamiGuru elaborates on this by saying that, "Every single person in this world has the same goal of being appreciated. That's what they look for, consciously or unconsciously. In everything that we do, we seek an endorsement unknowingly. When we receive it, we feel good. Empathy paves the way for this to happen successfully each time." He shares some examples of empathy which include sitting with someone and praying with them in their times of trouble, holding someone's hand when they feel alone or simply being there for someone.
The last word on this subject belongs to HH SwamiGuru who adds, "When you do something for someone with empathy, there is a bond created that results in their appreciation or their acknowledgement of what you do. That closes the loop created in the heart. [You already have contact and contentment.] Empathy leads to appreciation which leads to contentment." And that, really, is all we need to find our happiness in life.

Canadian fintech innovators team up to bring crypto rewards to North America
TORONTO, Dec. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Purpose Investments Inc. ("Purpose"), a world leader in digital asset management, is excited to announce its collaboration with Drop Technologies Inc. ("Drop"), a popular rewards platform with over 5 million users in the United States and Canada.
Starting today, Drop Premium users can use their points to get exposure to Bitcoin and Ether in a straightforward and easy way. By linking the value of their points to cryptocurrency, users will be able to get exposure to Bitcoin and Ether through the industry-leading Purpose Bitcoin ETF and Purpose Ether ETF.
"Through our ETFs, we were able to provide an easy and convenient way for people to own cryptocurrency without the hassle of a digital wallet. Now by working with Drop, we're excited to enable further democratization of crypto by providing a new way for people to gain exposure to the crypto market through their points on a leading rewards platform," said Som Seif, Founder and CEO of Purpose.
With crypto rewards, your amount of Drop points will be tied to the price of Bitcoin or Ether, meaning that if you link your Drop points to Bitcoin and the price of Bitcoin increases, so will your number of points. This innovation allows users to participate in the crypto market and earn points that they can redeem at many major retailers around the world, such as Amazon, Netflix, and Starbucks, without having to directly buy or own crypto.
"We know our users are fascinated with the world of cryptocurrency, yet at the same time are looking to educate themselves before taking the plunge," said Derrick Fung, CEO of Drop. "We want to empower users with the opportunity to take their first step by giving them the option to convert points into Bitcoin and Ether; from one digital currency, to another, and back again. It's dynamic opportunities like these that make us feel good about our decision to choose points versus cash-back as Drop's rewards currency of choice."
Deciding to add Bitcoin or Ether to your Drop account by way of reward points means you get the opportunity to reap the benefits of learning more about the world of crypto without having to use your own money to do so, a win-win for those new or more risk-averse to the concept.
"This is truly an exciting milestone for the global finance industry. The fact that two Canadian companies were able to come together to deliver this one-of-a-kind program goes to show the leading innovation coming out of the Canadian fintech sector," concludes Seif.

The Sechs volt Garage Blog: The new 1952 Porsche!
While visiting Stuttgart, Clymer was presented to the lovely Pre-A 356 Porsche. "...the sportscar is supplied with a rebuilt vw-engine, with two carburettors and a high compression top end. The production rate is 100 cars a month, and they are almost completely hand built by 150 workers. The price is 10.500 DM for the coupé, and 12.500 DM for the cabriolet. The sportscar comes with three options enginewise, 1100ccm, 1300ccm and 1500ccm. With the biggest engine, the car can go 160 km/h, which is quite impressive for a car with a engine that small...."
Great pic guys, the engine might be ´52, but the car is a ´50.
Just thought I should mention it:).
Very interesting details in the photo.

Issue 17, August 1985 - Hack-Free Zone
Home Contents KwikPik
HACK-FREE
Z O N E
You know what they say. Those who can, play. Those who can't, hack. Welcome to the page for all of us who can!
So, what have all you gamesplayers been up to since last month - other than poking fun at all the hackers? Well, a lot of you have been finishing games without resorting to cheating. Stefan Johnson from Gravesend tells us that he's completed Cavelon. It's a bit of a fossil but in case there's anyone who hasn't yet cracked it he offers the following tip for reaching level five - take at least four or five crosses and maximum lives or you won't stand a chance.
Colin Read from St. Helens has finished Pyjamarama and offers the following clue for his fellow Wally-followers - crash helmets are very tough for library books and if you get through all the levels in the games room then you'll get an extra life. Mmm, s'pose it must mean something to someone.
And now coming bang up to date, Paul Allen from Hull has finished last month's megagame, Shadowfire. Considering the trouble that YS arcade aces, Ross Holman and Steve Malone had lasting for more than four minutes without an almighty barney on tactics, that's no mean achievement. Perhaps they can learn something from Paul's very clever suggestion that instead of shifting all the Enigma team around the ship, you should just use Manto equipped with the transporter. That way, when he finds Zoff, he can just drop the transporter, beam himself back to the ship and beam the fighting crew, fit and fully armed, straight into the thick of the battle. Now why didn't we think of that?
More of you have finished Knight Lore than we'd ever have thought possible - and still the hints'n'tips are coming in. David Bass from Bridgwater, for example, suggests that you never go near the wizard when you're a werewolf. He's also worked out that the bouncing balls aim straight for the wolf but avoid Sabreman, so it's best to lay low when you've turned into a wolf. Sound advice that - if only Troubleshootin' Pete would take it!
It certainly seems that Dragontorc is an easier game to beat than its predecessor, Avalon - or that's the impression we've got from your letters. Martin Edwards of Staines has these words of wisdom for troubled torcers. First off, follow the poem closely. In the last sanctuary there's a scroll that tells you where to look for the crowns. But has any of you finished Avalon?
Finally, from across the Channel, David Osrin of Strasbourg has sent in a grande liste of all the games he has finished. Can't tell what possessed him to include Jet Set Willy in his rundown, though. Perhaps word hasn't reached foreign parts yet! Still, David's come up with some good advice for martial arts addicts of Bruce Lee - if you keep on kicking the fat guy, he'll eventually die. And on the last screen - the one with the wizard - ignore him and take the lantern. Hope that throws some light on the subject.
That's it for another month, but if any of you have finished a game that you think is pretty impossible let us know. And remember to include all your hints'n'tips so that others can learn from your example - it's the only way to keep them from the hands of the hackers! Now send off to Nothing's Impossible, Your Spectrum, 14 Rathbone Place, London W1P 1DE. C'mon and play the game.
THE WITCHING HOUR ...
Double, double toil and trouble:
Fire, burn; and, cauldron, bubble.
Take a dash of a Defender style shoot'em up, add a splash of an arcade adventure, throw in a handful of platform screens and top up with some magic graphics. Stir vigorously and you've got a rich brew from Palace Software called Cauldron that aims to have you bewitched, bothered and bewildered. A word of warning - on this level your up/down controls are disabled. Left and right stay the same but the fire button now lets you jump. Collect the object in the underground screens, then make a clean sweep on your broomstick straight back to your hut. Then, brew it up with the rest of the dodgy doin's. Once all six are in the pot, get to the pumpkin hall and go for the giant pumpkin.
Take extra care when jumping onto these platforms. They're not safe! If you go too close to the edge you're liable to get vertigo and go tumbling down.
Here's your witch's den where you're mixing up a rather unusual cocktail in your cauldron. Trouble is six ingredients don't really make everyone's idea of a thirst-quenchin', lip-smackin' drink - d'you fancy imbibing toad, newt, bat, hemlock root, bone and lava from the Smoking Island? (Mmmm, make mine a double! Ed). Tomorrow is the big day of the year for witches - it's Hallowe'en and you've got a lot to do if you're to be chosen as the Witch Queen. All aboard your broomstick and take to the skies. From up above you have to search out and collect the colour- coded keys that'll let you enter the corresponding doorways.
Even though the graphics are excellent, the animation isn't exactly flicker-free and as for the scrolling - ugh! You have to wait for the screen to scroll onto the next one before your witch can enter it. There are moving platforms in most of the underground levels. Judge your jump very carefully and if you don't go in the same direction you'll be tossed away. Don't tread on the bottom of any of the underground screens - you may never walk again. All your movements must be from platform to platform, so judge your jumps with care.
You're only allowed to land on the grated areas at the bottom. If you miss them the old hag does a mid- air spin and loses another life.
DEAD GOOD
And now for a surprise bonus. On the reverse side of the Cauldron tape, appears the Spectrum version of The Evil Dead. It wasn't meant to be there but somehow the gremlins must've crept in at the duplicators. So, dare you risk the evil curse and play the game? Well, you could do worse than give it a go. But the real problem is that there aren't any instructions. A bit of a dead loss, you could say, but panic not, 'cos here at YS we've sussed the plot of this computer nasty.
You play the part of Ashly, shacked up on holiday with a group of friends deep in the Tennessee Woodlands. Cheryl, Linda, Scott and Shelly are clean cut all-American kids who just happen to change into ghastly green mutants when they over-indulge with the spirit - Evil spirit, of course. Your aim at the beginning is to keep the evil one out of the shack by rushing round closing all the windows. When that fails as it inevitably does - well, you can't keep a good ghost down - you'll have to try and kill 'em with the weapons scattered round the shack. These will give you differing amounts of energy which you'll lose when you attack an enemy but your points will increase. Only when you've enough points will the Book of the Evil Dead ('a jolly good read' Daily Mirror.
'Dead boring' Your Spectrum) appears - throw it straight on the fire in the main room and you'll have defeated the curse forever. Dead easy, really.
The Evil Dead - a touch of corn with a jolly green giant!


Ash plantain (Saambal Vaalai, as it is called in Tamil) is often used in Sri Lankan and South Indian cuisine. I am not very familiar with the varieties of plantains but as far as I am aware, ash plantain is the more common and popular variety in Sri Lanka and is a cooking plantain.
Today's recipe is that of an ash plantain curry that my mother quite often makes at home.
Peel the ash plantains and slice them.
Lightly fry the ash plantain slices in a little oil. Keep aside.
In a pan, add 1 tbsp oil and sauté the fenugreek seeds, chopped onion and curry leaves for a minute.
Add the lightly fried ash plantain slices to the pan. Mix well and continue stir-frying for another 2 – 3 mins.
Then, add the tamarind extract to the pan, followed by the thin coconut milk and the curry powder.
Season the curry with salt to taste. Mix well and cook the curry for about 10 mins till the gravy thickens.
Just before removing the pan from stove, add a tsp of sugar and mix well.
Serve the spicy ash plantain curry with rice.
Today's recipe is a slightly different version of vaalakkai varuval. I like ash plantains so I enjoy the different ways it is cooked, however slight the difference might be.
Boil ash plantain with skin. Remove peel and chop the boiled unripe fruit up.
Add some salt and turmeric powder to the ash plantain pieces and keep aside.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and fry the fennel, chopped dried red chillies, shallots and garlic for a few mins, until the aroma of the fried onions and garlic comes out.
Add the marinated, chopped pieces of ash plantain and curry leaves and cook for about 10 mins, until sufficiently cooked.
Garnish with chopped coriander or curry leaves.
Back home after an amazing two weeks of travelling around Yunnan province, it was comforting to be greeted by the familiar. So, my first post for this month will be to share my mother's recipe for her regular fried ash plantain which I really enjoy.
Boil the ash plantain with skin for 15 minutes.
Set aside the ash plantain to cool. After it has sufficiently cooled, remove skin and chop the boiled fruit into small pieces.
Chop up the malu miris, onion and garlic.
Mix the chopped ash plantain, malu miris and ½ tsp turmeric and ½ tsp salt and let the flavours soak in.
Heat 2 tbsp oil of sesame oil in a pan and add the fennel seeds and the chopped onion and garlic.
When the aroma of the onion and garlic wafts about, add the turmeric and salt coated chopped ash plantain and malu miris and the curry leaves. Cook until they are sufficiently fried which will take around 10 mins.
Just before removing the pan, add 1 tsp crushed chillies and mix well for a minute.

The AAM Austria started in 1977 in response to the Soweto uprisings with a small group of people who lobbied the general public and government to take a stand against apartheid. It organised numerous boycott and solidarity campaigns, pushing the Austrian government to take a more anti-apartheid position. It gave direct support to the liberation movements. Besides solidarity with South Africa, the AAM also worked for Namibia. It was a member of the European anti-apartheid movements group. It dissolved in 1993 to continue as the Southern Africa Documentation and Cooperation Centre (SADOCC).

Fatty fish, such as salmon, are rich sources of DHA.
The foods you eat impact your body functioning, and your brain is no exception. While much research still needs to be done on the food-brain connection, a nutrient- and antioxidant-rich diet appears to improve mood and prevent cognitive decline as you age. The typical American diet, rich in salt, fat and sugar, may not be the healthiest -- for your brain or your waistline.
DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, is an integral part of brain cell membranes, and foods containing this long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid appear to boost brain functioning. Rich food sources of DHA include salmon and other fatty fish such as mackerel. Consume two servings per week to ensure adequate DHA consumption. Other food sources of DHA include flaxseed and walnuts.
A review published in a 2012 issue of "Nutritional Neuroscience'" found that polyphenols, antioxidants found abundantly in fruits and vegetables, help prevent brain function decline. Epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, a potent antioxidant found in curcumin -- a substance found in turmeric -- and green tea, may improve mood and cognition. It may also prevent brain disease. Blackberries are an excellent polyphenol source, as is Concord grape juice. Cocoa contains another polyphenol that promotes blood circulation to the brain, aiding in memory retention and brain health. Eat one-third of an ounce of chocolate daily to reap cognitive benefits, reports registered dietitian Karen Ansel. Apples are a rich source of quercetin, an antioxidant that protects brain cells from destruction. Leave the skin on apples when you eat them, as most quercetin is found there.
A study published in a 2009 issue of the "Journal of the American Medical Association" concluded that the Mediterranean diet may reduce cognitive decline, as 1,410 senior study subjects improved their performance on the Mini-Mental State Examination, a neuropsychological test, while following the eating plan. The Mediterranean diet is a plant-based diet abundant in fruits, vegetables and fish and low in meat and dairy foods. Researchers attribute brain benefits to the nutrient combinations found in the foods, including monounsaturated fatty acids, folate, vitamins E and B12, flavonoid and carotenoids.
In a study published in 2009 in the "British Journal of Psychiatry," researchers found that whole-food diets – ones rich in fruits, vegetables and fish, as opposed to ones based on processed foods such as sweets, refined carbohydrates and high-fat dairy foods -- lower the risk for depression in middle-aged adults. A 2012 article in "Environmental Nutrition" summarizes specific foods that nutrition experts recommend for their mood-bolstering effects. These include oatmeal, edamame, chickpeas, leafy green vegetables such as kale and spinach, fat-free milk, bananas, broccoli, olive oil and lentils.
Your brain is dependent upon a number of micronutrients for healthy functioning, such as B vitamins, minerals, glucose and essential fatty acids. Consume a variety of foods in a nutritionally balanced diet to ensure that your intake of these is adequate. Consult a nutritionist for individualized nutritional analysis of your diet to pinpoint any areas needing improvement.

Bret "Hit Man" Hart had Yokozuna right where he wanted him.
In the closing moments of the main event of WrestleMania IX, the WWE Champion pulled off the impossible when he locked the near-600-pounder in the devastating Sharpshooter. The big man was seconds away from tapping out and his manager, Mr. Fuji, knew it. That's when the scheming Fuji grabbed a handful of salt from his pocket and tossed it into Hart's face.
Blinded by the abrasive crystals, The Hit Man collapsed to the mat and was immediately smothered and pinned by the sumo wrestler. The WWE Hall of Famer had lost his coveted title on The Grandest Stage of Them All thanks to a handful of sodium chloride, earning salt the No. 9 spot on WWE.com's list of "Unlikely Weapons That Impacted WWE History."
Even before this infamous night, Fuji had earned repute as one of the most underhanded figures in WWE. Once a feared competitor, the Japan native made the transition to managing in the mid-80s and used his trademark cane and handfuls of salt to help vicious Superstars like Don Muraco, Killer Khan and The Powers of Pain steal victories. But the crooked Fuji never had a client as promising as the 589-pound goliath known as Yokozuna.
A champion sumo wrestler before arriving in WWE, Yokozuna literally flattened every opponent he faced and quickly earned himself a WWE Championship Match against Bret Hart at WrestleMania IX after winning the 1993 Royal Rumble. Going into the bout, the monster was the favorite, but if anyone could pull off an upset it was The Hit Man.
Weathering Yokozuna's offensive storm, Hart waited for the perfect moment to take advantage of the big man and found it when the sumo champion's noggin was knocked on an exposed turnbuckle. With his opponent down, the legendary Superstar applied his trademark Sharpshooter and waited to hear the sound of Yokozuna screaming out in submission.
But instead of getting his hand raised in victory, Hart was blasted in the face by a thick cloud of salt. Thrown by a sneering Fuji, the salt was at ringside so that Yokozuna could purify his fighting space as sumo wrestlers do in Japan. In Fuji's hands, however, the crystals became a very dangerous weapon.
Although the dastardly move allowed Yokozuna to win the WWE Championship, the reign wouldn't last long. Moments later, Hulk Hogan arrived at the ring and challenged the new WWE Champion to a title match. The giant arrogantly accepted and was dispatched of in record time, putting him in the record books for the shortest WWE Title reign in history.

The Bulls are currently in the middle of a stretch in which they play four games in six days, and in their matchup against Kings Park on Tuesday afternoon, fatigue was certainly a factor.
After winning a physical and hard-fought game against crosstown rival Smithtown West on Monday, Smithtown East allowed the Kingsmen to dominate much of the play in Tuesday's contest, but strong play in their own end and a 17-save performance by sophomore goalkeeper Cat Sheppard, allowed the Bulls to keep things close on the scoreboard, and ultimately, leave the field with a 1-1 draw.
Smithtown East head coach Bill Hamilton made the decision to give his regular starters limited playing time in the nonleague matchup. Despite that, he was pleased that his team was still able to avoid their first loss of the season.
Kings Park head coach, Bryan LoPalo, also seemed satisfied with the way his team played in the match, despite the fact that his club failed to come away victorious.
Most of the contest was played on the Bulls' side of the field, with the Kingsmen preventing their opponent from breaking through the middle of the field. LoPalo highlighted the defensive efforts of seniors Shakila Sevanan and Francesca Timpone, and juniors Alexa Biegler and Kayla Homeyer in the game.
Kings Park controlled play through much of the first half, but still entered the intermission trailing 1-0. Sheppard's strong play in net held the Kingsmen off the scoreboard, and sophomore midfielder Emma Heiser found the back of the net for the Bulls, to give her team the early advantage.
With just under 28 minutes remaining in the second half, Kings Park finally broke through.
A Genevieve Carpenter deflection, off a cross by teammate Selena Ubriaco, was too much for Sheppard to handle, and the ball found its way just over the goal line for the score.
Kings Park continued to put pressure on Smithtown East during the game's final stretch, but Sheppard stood tall for the Bulls. The netminder made numerous big saves, including key late-game stops on golden opportunities by Carpenter and senior forward Noelle Perciballi.
Smithtown East continued on with their challenging stretch today, when they visit North Babylon at 4 p.m. Kings Park will also be back in action today, as they hit the road to face off against Deer Park at 6 p.m.
One goal was all the Centereach girls' soccer team needed to seal the deal Tuesday as the Cougars snapped their five-game losing streak with a 1-0 nonleague win over Miller Place.
After some back-and-forth action and some saved shots by Miller Place senior goalkeeper and co-captain Danielle Bambola, Centereach senior forward Ryan Schubert was able to sneak one by her off a penalty kick that just crossed the line into the front left corner of the net.
Momentum shifted the Cougars' way after the goal, leading to more opportunities, but the team couldn't capitalize, resulting in a 1-0 score after the first 40 minutes.
Both teams pressed the defense and had multiple shots on goal, but it was a goalkeeper battle between Bambola and junior co-captain Annalie Buscarino, who made diving and jumping saves to keep the score unchanged.
As time ticked off the clock, the Panthers team grew stronger and hungrier, connecting passes and shooting on net, but was unable to get the equalizer.
After dropping the first two non-league games of the season, the Port Jefferson girls' soccer team is back on track after topping Babylon Monday, 4-1, to continue a three-game League VII winning streak.
Port Jefferson sophomore goalkeeper Brianna Scarda made several big saves to keep the score 0-0, and the Royals had some chances at a goal early on, but Babylon's defense came up with the stops.
Although opening the second half still in a stalemate, the Royals were quick to make up for lost time after speaking with Wolff at halftime.
Less than four minutes in, junior forward Jillian Colucci beat out the Babylon goalkeeper, who came out of the box to try and make a save, and shot the ball into the right side of an empty net off an assist from junior midfielder and forward Clare O'Connor, for the 1-0 lead.
"I knew I was going to get the pass, so I started running and felt the defense on my back, but I was able to touch it past the goalie and did whatever I could do to continue to touch it into the net," she said.
At the 29:48 mark, after O'Connor sent the ball into play, Colucci attempted a goal through a swarm of defenders, and junior midfielder and forward Brittany Fazin put out her foot to stop the rebound and sent the ball into the right corner for a 2-0 advantage.
Off another assist from O'Connor, who crossed the ball into the box after a foul call, Colucci scored her second goal with a straight shot up the middle through traffic and past the keeper. She followed it up with her hat trick goal when, again, the Babylon goalkeeper came out of the box, leaving the net empty.
Scarda made a save, her last of 18 on the afternoon, exactly three minutes after the Royals' final goal to preserve the clean sheet for the time being, but after a goalie change, senior Noelle Zimmermann gave up a goal with 5:07 left to play, to bring the final score to 4-1.
What helped the Royals was that the team was playing to feet instead of chasing the ball in the air like they did in the first half.
Port Jefferson travels to McGann-Mercy Friday, for a 4:30 p.m. game. The Royals have topped the Monarchs all six times they faced their opponent in the last three seasons.
The Northport football team briefly enjoyed a two-touchdown lead early in the game, and Sachem North may have came back to take the lead in the second quarter, but the Tigers wouldn't let their homecoming game go that easily Saturday, and clawed their way back to pull out a come-from-behind victory, 29-22.
Northport hit the scoreboard first four minutes in when senior running back Rob Dosch went the distance for a 20-yard score, and senior wide receiver and kicker Ryan Tromblee split the uprights for a 7-0 lead.
On a play that was slow to develop, Dosch ran down the sideline and cut back inside to find the end zone, again. This time, it was a 29-yard play at the 3:44 mark. Tromblee nailed the kick, and helped the team edge ahead, 14-0.
After a slow start, Sachem North began to move the chains when senior quarterback David McCarthy, on a keeper, broke it outside for a long gain to the Tigers' 16-yard line. To open the second quarter, the Flaming Arrows finished it when senior running back Steve Anacreon broke free for six points, and with the extra-point attempt successful, the team closed the gap, 14-7.
Sachem North, on their longest sustained drive of the game, marched down the field and capped it off with another six points, as Anacreon struck again to close within a point, 14-13.
The Flaming Arrows then turned lemons into lemonade on a bad snap on the extra-point attempt, when after the holder picked up the ball, he rolled to his right and found an open receiver in the end zone for the two-point conversion. Fortune smiled on Sachem North as the Flaming Arrows took their first lead of the game, 15-14.
With seven seconds left in the half, the Tigers attempted a field goal from the 28-yard line, only to have it blocked.
With the wind out of the south all afternoon, Sachem North kicked off with the wind on its back to open the second half. The ball almost sailed over the head of Northport's senior kick returner and running back Enzo D'Angelo, who had to make a leaping, one-handed catch to field the ball at his team's own 1-yard line.
It might have been wiser to let the ball carry into the end zone, but D'Angelo took off. The senior cut inside as he followed several blockers before breaking it to the outside, leaving would-be tacklers behind as he covered 99 yards for the touchdown run that helped the Tigers retake the lead.
With the point after good, Northport edged ahead 21-15.
After a sustained drive, Sachem North marched deep into Tigers territory when Anacreon got the call. Again, he punched it in for the score three yards out to tie the game, 21-21. The Flaming Arrows split the pipes for the extra point and retook the lead, 22-21, to open the final quarter.
With just under six minutes left in the game, the Tigers pounded their way into field goal range. The kick just missed to the left, to leave Northport still down a point.
Northport's defense made a critical stop with 3:23 left in the game, where the team held Sachem North to a three-and-out, forcing them to punt on fourth and 15. From the punt formation, the Flaming Arrows faked the kick, and the punter took off with the ball, gaining 14 yards — just one yard shy of the first down, but Northport took over on downs, and with excellent field position.
Northport senior quarterback Andrew Smith said his team got off to a slow start, but came on strong in the second half for the homecoming win.
"We really ran the ball well in the second half and everyone pushed today," Smith said.
From the 29-yard line, Dosch went to work as he bowled his way up the middle to move the chains to the 14-yard line. Dosch got the call again as he punched through a hole up front and made his way into the end zone untouched for his third touchdown of the afternoon.
To make it a seven-point lead Northport, Smith went for two as he dropped back and rolled to his left. In a play that was slow to develop, senior tight end Kristian Gerken crossed to the left side of the end zone, and Smith spotted Gerken after checking for his primary receivers, as the two connected for the successful attempt.
"Our line held so I had plenty of time to throw," Smith said.
Dosch said Smith threw a good ball, and pointed to Gerken as a strong receiver.
Northport stretched their lead, 29-22, with 2:24 left.
With time running out, Sachem North, on its final offensive drive, did not go quietly. On a fourth and 20, the Flaming Arrows completed a pass over the middle, as the receiver turned upfield. The Tigers made the stop again, one yard short of the marker, and Northport took over on downs with 1:12 left in the game.
Smith took three knees to run out the clock for a very sweet homecoming victory.
Many coaches say that the purpose of nonleague games is for one team to play a better team, or to "play up," in an effort to raise their game and improve their play by facing a faster team with greater skillsets. Newfield girls' soccer head coach Ann Marie Hassett agreed in the offseason to a nonleague matchup against Half Hollow Hills West, but this year she sensed something was different.
Her inclination was right, as on Saturday, for the first time in eight years, the Wolverines outlasted Hills West to claim a shutout victory, scoring three unanswered goals and using defensive play to keep their opponent on their heels.
Ten minutes in, Newfield sophomore midfielder Taylor Regensburger started the scoring when she drove her shot to the back of the net off a feed from eighth-grade midfielder Sierra Rosario, to take the lead 1-0.
Under a hot sun in a game riddled with injuries, Hills West struggled to get the ball to its forwards, as the Newfield defensive pressure was more than the team could handle.
With 11 minutes left in the first, senior forward Michelle Bartolo, a co-captain, set up the next score with a cross pass to Rosario, who chipped it in for the 2-0 advantage.
Hassett said Bartolo was playing defense for the first time, and her senior captain did an amazing job in her defensive role.
"I was playing defense and there was a free ball so I crossed it in and [Rosario] kicked it in," Bartolo said.
As time wound down in the final half, Newfield junior midfielder Kristen Prevosto, on a crossing pass, fed senior forward Cori Myers, who shot the ball into the corner of the net.
With their league opening loss to North Babylon in overtime, along with their blowout victory over Riverhead on Friday, the Wolverines improve to 2-1 overall. Newfield will take on Smithtown East next, in League III action at home on Thursday at 4 p.m.
Hassett said that the heavily favored North Babylon team was expected to easily outscore Newfield, but said her team held its own and took the game into overtime. The coach added that the win over Half Hollow Hills West was huge for her team, and said that other teams have taken notice.
The Comsewogue boys' soccer team got the ball rolling.
In League V action Friday, the Warriors invaded Rocky Point territory and blanked the Eagles, 5-0, to earn their first win of the season.
Comsewogue sophomore forward Luis Hernandez scored first less than four minutes into the game from outside the right goal post, giving his team the early lead.
Almost 10 minutes of back-and-forth action later, Comsewogue made another good attempt, but Rocky Point junior goalkeeper Michael Antici made one of his eight saves on the day.
Despite Antici's efforts, the Warriors found the back of the net again before the halftime break.
With 3:30 left, senior midfielder Nick Towler headed the ball off a corner kick into the right side of the goal to give his team a 2-0 advantage.
The Warriors were gunning to get another one at the start of the second half, but didn't capitalize until senior midfielder John Koebel scored off a foul kick that had been sent into the box and rebounded off an opponent.
On the other end of the field, Warriors senior goalie Steven Towler made a couple of strong saves during the second half to preserve the shutout, but overall did not see much action.
Comsewogue senior midfielders Jake Muller and Trevor Kennedy tacked on the final two goals of the game, the latter lighting up the scoreboard when Antici tried to catch a corner kick but instead sent the ball bouncing off his hands and into the net.
The victorious Warriors were optimistic about the future, despite losing some of their top playmakers to graduation last year.
Rocky Point head coach Joe Camarda was disappointed with his team's effort.
Through the midfield and attack, Camarda said his athletes weren't patient enough to get opportunities and finish them.
Rocky Point senior defender Jimmy Gohn agreed.
But Camarda thinks his team has what it takes to be a contender in League V.
O'Brien said that after a performance like the Warriors had, he's looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season holds for his squad.
Last year, tragedy struck after 16-year-old Thomas Cutinella, a former Shoreham-Wading River High School football player, suffered a fatal head injury after colliding with another player during a football game on Oct. 1. Cutinella died later that day.
To honor his memory, community members from Shoreham-Wading River gathered on Sunday at Wildwood State Park in Wading River for the first Patriot Run. The event was sponsored by the Shoreham-Wading River Wildcat Athletic Club.
John Regazzi, a physical education teacher at Wading River Elementary School, created and organized the event to honor Cutinella. Alice Steinbrecher, a second grade elementary school teacher at Miller Avenue Elementary School also helped, and said the two decided to call the event the Patriot Run to honor Cutinella's own patriotism.
According to Steinbrecher, more than 300 people attend the event to either show their support or run the race. Cutinella's former football number, 54, was also considered when they determined the length of the race. The number was included as the race was made a 2.54 mile run.
Those who wanted to participate had to register to enter the race. The fee was $20 for adults and $15 for children if residents register before or by Sept. 4. Those who registered the day of the event paid an additional $5. Although everyone who registered for the event received a ticket for the barbecue that followed the race, only those who pre-registered received a T-Shirt in support of the event.
According to a friend of Cutinella who wanted to remain unidentified, the money is going toward the Tom Cutinella Scholarship fund.
A total of $70,545 has been raised for the scholarship before the event, but it is still unclear when Regazzi will know how much money they raised at the Patriot Run. The Cutinella family didn't speak regarding the event or the loss of their son as the media was asked to respect the family's privacy.
Jim Madden of Wading River is a parent of a student who went to school with Cutinella. Madden says the incident reminds people that unexpected events can happen.
The event is one of several scheduled for this year. The Thomas Cutinella Memorial foundation is also support Cutinella in the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Tower Run in New York City on Sunday Sept. 27 and the first golf tournament fundraiser in his name on Monday Oct. 12 at the Baiting Hollow Country Club in Baiting Hollow.
The hope is that these events, including the Patriot Run, will help those Cutinella cared about while keeping his memory alive.
Editor's note: This online story was updated to name the correct title for John Regazzi.
The Ward Melville football team was able to stay within striking distance through two quarters of play in its season opener, but visiting Lindenhurst broke the game open in the second half to defeat the Patriots 28-13 in League I gridiron action Friday night.
After a slow start, the Bulldogs struck first three minutes into the second quarter when senior quarterback Ryan Hofmann connected with junior wide receiver Steven Ramirez for the score, and with the extra point good, the team led 7-0.
With just over a minute left in the half, Ward Melville senior quarterback Matthew O'Hea found junior wide receiver John Corpac, who turned the corner and flew down the right sideline to go the distance for the touchdown. It was a 61-yard pass play that put the Patriots on the scoreboard, but when the point after attempt pushed wide left, Ward Melville trailed 7-6.
It became a game riddled with cramps and penalties, and the Patriots led the way in both categories.
The Hofmann–Ramirez tandem answered back on the last play of the half for another touchdown. After a failed point after, the Bulldogs took a 13-6 lead into the halftime break.
Boltrek said that going into the third quarter being one score down to the reigning county champions wasn't a bad thing.
"I thought we had a chance the entire time, but between penalties and cramped players, we don't have the depth to pull that off," he said.
Lindenhurst looked to put the game away on the second play from scrimmage to open the second half, and it did. Senior running back Joe Barber pushed his way up the middle, breaking several tackles, and made his way 65 yards downfield for the score to put the Bulldogs out in front, 19-6. Junior quarterback Austin Perri scored next for the Bulldogs, as he plowed his way into the end zone for a two-point conversion, to help his team break out to a 21-6 lead.
Ward Melville was unable to answer, and again fell victim to the Hofmann–Ramirez combination. The two paired up on a pass play and Lindenhurst took a commanding 28-6 advantage.
Deep in their own territory, Ward Melville senior running back Nick Cervone provided the spark to make it a two-score game when he broke outside and cut to the middle of the field. After the dust settled, he went 81 yards for the score to trim the Ward Melville deficit, and sophomore kicker Joe LaRosa split the uprights to trail 28-13.
The Bulldogs threatened again deep into the Patriots' territory but on a rare miscue, coughed up the ball as Ward Melville recovered the fumble on their own 15-yard line.
With just under five minutes remaining in the game, the Patriots ran the hurry-up offense as O'Hea aired the ball out the rest of the way, but no open receiver could be found.
Port Jefferson Yacht Club hosted its sixth annual Village Cup Regatta on Saturday, raising funds for pancreatic cancer research through the Lustgarten Foundation and for John T. Mather Memorial Hospital's palliative medicine program.
The regatta pits the hospital and Port Jefferson Village against one another in a friendly competition for the Village Cup, a trophy which the hospital has now won two years in a row following a village reign of three years.
Participants raised about $64,000 for the cause through this year's race, according to yacht club member Chuck Chiaramonte. The sum will be split between the Lustgarten Foundation and the palliative care program, which is focused on improving patients' quality of life.
Chiaramonte said over the six years of the regatta, the event has raised more than $300,000.
The yacht club — formerly known as the Setauket Yacht Club — supplied the boats and captains for the event, which included a parade of boats, games and face painting for children at the harborfront park, and a trophy presentation at the adjacent Village Center.
Chiaramonte said the club looks forward to the event every year.
"It was really meant to just be a joyous occasion and share the love of the water and boating with our neighbors," he said.

Allergies serve to humble. I was allergy free until my radiation treatment in 2007. With the swallow of one radioactive iodine pill, I wiped out my immune system. I was so sick with allergies and colds for the whole year following. I didn't understand why someone couldn't tell the difference between allergies and a cold but now I get it. I bow down. And so I lay here sneezing, stuffy nose, irritated eyes wondering if I'll ever get out of Cajon Pass.
Perhaps it's some sort of sick karma that I would get stuck, not in a town, but at a gas station/fast food stop along the highway. Not even a slice of pizza to be had. They have a pretty good breakfast here at the hotel, which with some peanut butter from the hiker box (food and supplies left behind by other hikers), has sustained me all day. The nearly constant train ambiance and washing machine spin rattles the mirror in my room, topping off the charm of this hole. Ok really, I'm not complaining. I'm grateful for a bed, shower, flushing toilet. These are luxuries in my life now.
I do believe that I've managed to fix my sleeping pad air mattress. Luckily I had one patch with me. I filled the bathroom sink with water and worked my mattress through it until I found the hole. I then used the hair dryer to dry the spot I was about to patch. I chuckled as I imagined that this is not what most folks do in their hotel bathrooms. When's the last time you patched an air mattress in your hotel room?
Have watched a couple movies on TV today. Kinda weird. Fellowship of the ring, an adventure among friends, trekking across dangerous lands to reach a final destination in order to restore balance. Sound similar?


Named after New Zealand's largest quartz deposit that lies beneath our vineyards at Bendigo Station, Quartz Reef has become the vessel for what winemaker Rudi Bauer calls - his search to make wines which exhibit "a symphony of flavours" that "capture attention and entertain so that you forget everything else".
Quartz reef was founded in 1996 and the principal partners are Rudi Bauer, Trevor Scott, John Perriam.
Quartz Reef vinifies wines of outstanding flavour and intensity. There are currently 30 hectares under cultivation. The key to this distinction lies in the maturing sun drenched slopes situated at Quartz Reef's Bendigo Estate vineyard. Under Rudi's custodianship Pinot Noir becomes the essence of Central Otago whilst Pinot Gris takes on a rich textured dry style.
All Quartz Reef wines benefit greatly from Rudi Bauer's Austrian heritage exploring the many dimensions of the varieties.

Local Teen hockey players facing assault charges
Teen hockey players facing assault charges
By: Staff Writer Posted: 12:23 PM CDT Wednesday, Jul. 23, 2014 Last Modified: 1:25 PM CDT Wednesday, Jul. 23, 2014 | Updates
Two female youth hockey players are facing charges following an investigation into a minor hockey disturbance in Stonewall earlier this year.
The charges stem from an alleged assault of the referees during a bantam minor hockey league championship game between Stonewall and Lake Manitoba First Nation (Dog Creek) on March 30.
Stonewall RCMP were called to the local arena after tempers flared both on the ice and in the stands during the game.
Chris Gareau photo Two players are facing assault charges for their alleged actions during an on-ice incident during a game in Stonewall in March.
One of the suspects, a 13-year-old on the Dog Creek team, is alleged to have shot the puck at the three officials during a stoppage in play. She is facing an assault charge.
Another Dog Creek player, a 14-year-old, is also alleged to have physically struck two of the officials. She is facing an assault with a weapon charge.
There were no serious injuries.
The two youths are not in police custody. They will appear in Stonewall's provincial court on Sept. 29.
In late April, the Interlake Minor Hockey Association voted to ban all Lake Manitoba First Nation bantam and midget hockey teams for a one-year period as part of a crackdown against on-ice violence.
It was also announced by Hockey Manitoba a male player from Lake Manitoba who shoved a linesman escorting him off the ice was suspended until Dec. 15, 2014, and the 13-year-old female player who allegedly shot the puck at a referee was suspended until Jan. 1, 2015. The longest suspension levied was to the 14-year-old female player who allegedly assaulted a linesman. She was suspended until Sept. 1, 2015.
At the time, Interlake referees called the punishment a "joke" and said they would not continue to work games involving teen players from Lake Manitoba because of ongoing safety concerns. That position was taken into consideration by the IMHA executive when the ban on all Lake Manitoba teams was announced.
