Face Off (Nashville Sound #1)
FACE OFF ALICIA HUNTER PACE
Emile Giroux has vowed he will be everything his stepfather is not: cultured, charming, sophisticated, and—above all else—a rich, successful NHL star. One of the top goalies in the league, the French Canadian strives for more, still haunted by his troubled childhood.
Amy Callahan was a freelance professional organizer until an ambitious, domineering boyfriend took over her life and cleaned out her bank account. Once indispensable to the stars, Amy now finds herself with no money, no house, no phone, and nowhere to go.
When Emile finds Amy literally kicked to the curb, he seizes his latest chance to rescue a damsel in distress—only Amy doesn't want to play that game. In fact, she's determined to put men on ice in her life permanently. Can they find a way to let love win?
PAT'S REVIEW
You met Amy Callahan at the beginning of the book and you are drawn to her. Shortly after the book begins she is left high and dry by her live-in boyfriend. She is also penniless, homeless, and the guy sold her car. He also stole the 5 million she got for selling her company. Now sitting at a bench Hockey Goalie Emile Giroux who plays for Nashville sees her and remembers her from earlier in the day when he was in his teammate's wife store. Now wondering why she is just sitting outside he stops and this begins her journey of finding out how bad it is when she realizes that they live in the same apartment building. The thing is her apartment has been sold and they find out that her ex-started everything s month ago. Now nowhere to go Emile says she can stay with him and eventually hires her as a personal assistant. All is going well until she finds out that her ex-got married and she has told Emile not to do anything, but he does. When she receives all of her personal belongings back, yes her ex-took everything. All she had was the clothes on her back and $84.36. So she called her father in Georgia to come and get her which he did and took her back to the families peach farm. Now Emile had to first figure out what he did and then where she went. I really enjoyed this story, from Emile's sister to the trainer and his stories about him and his wife. A very good story and the hockey action was good as well. Overall a very good book. I got this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 5 stars. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com

Lyft announces they will offer free, discounted rides to job interviews
Lyft announced a new initiative that will give riders free or discounted rides to job interviews and during the first three weeks of employment.
Sunday, October 27th 2019, 7:15 PM EDT
CNN - Lyft announced a new initiative that will give riders free or discounted rides to job interviews and during the first three weeks of employment.
The Job Access Program wants to close the transportation gap in low-income communities, Lyft said in a statement. The rideshare company is partnering with national and local organizations, including the National Down Syndrome Society and United Way.
They will offer the program in over 35 markets in the US and Canada, CNN reports.
The company also cited their own study that shows "44 percent of Lyft rides start or end in low-income areas."
In September, the unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent, the lowest rate since December 1969, as employers added 136,000 jobs to the U.S. economy, according to the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics.
But overall, the pace of hiring has slowed considerably since 2018, when the economy added an average of 223,000 jobs per month.

Today I have a different kind of post. It's sort of an update as to where I've been the past week and what I've been up to.
If you're from Atlantic Canada, you'll know about the ECMA's and what they mean to our little neck of the woods. If you're not, then here's a quick run down on who they are and what they're about.
My friend and fellow makeup artist, Heather Rose of Heather Rose Makeup Artistry, was approached by local television station Eastlink to do HDTV ready makeup for their hosts and the upcoming ECMA week. They would be doing a live half hour show for 3 days, an hour for 1 day and then live from the red carpet as artists arrived to the awards ceremony. On top of that they needed someone to do HDTV makeup for a TV show they would be filming at the beginning of the week to air in the fall. Needless to say it was booked it and a fun and crazy week would ensue. It had to be one of the best working experiences I've ever had.
I found myself in the Sackville studio of Eastlink TV with an amazing crew filming East Coast Music Unplugged.
I had a blast doing the show. I did multiple male makeups one after another which I felt like I became a master at come the end of the show! 16 male makeups over 3 days. It was so much fun. Not to mention I came across a few epic beards too!
I also got the chance to meet some of our amazing talanted artists here on the East coast. Artists like, Charlie A'Court, Ben Caplan, Christina Martin, Gloryhound, Tim Chaisson, David Myles and The Heavy Horses to name a few. Keep an eye on my Facebook and Twitter pages for updates in the fall when the show will be airing. I promise you'll love it! Host Darrin Harvey of 89.3 K-Rock in the Valley was our tv ost for the show and we had a blast together. Nothing brings me closer to an individual then when they express their love of anything Tolkien.
One of he best parts about these three days was working with the Eastlink production and filming crew. I truly felt welcomed and as though I was apart of the crew. Being a makeup artist on a set can be pretty lonesome if you're the solo artist. It was a wonderful feeling relaxing between takes with the rest of the crew and being welcomed not only into the studio during filming but also into their amazing High Def super truck! aka, where the magic happens!
Heather and I were at the Spring and South Park Eastlink store where they were shooting a live all-access each day. It was a great time with hosts Alex Haider and Scott Squires. Saturday we were joined by fellow co-host Matt Beadrsley fresh in from PEI.
We made the trip down to the red carpet at the Cunard Centre. The whole centre was set up for the awards show where it would be a live broadcast.
Now if you're not familiar with the Cunard Centre it's a verrrrrrrrry long centre. It almost feels like you're walking the length of a football field or more walking from one end to the other.
Eastlink had a lot of amazing volunteers helping out with the production for the ECMAs, even someone from across the country! It was wonderful to see a great group of people all aiming to put on the best production they possibly could and it was a great production!
Local television for local artists hiring local people.
Overall this past week has been not only crazy, but an amazing one! I had a blast and I know that Heather did too. We hope to work with Eastlink again in the future. We couldn't have asked for a better group of individuals to work with.
Congrats to all the winners for the 25th anniversary of the ECMAs this year!
Until next year, keep on rocking on the East Coast!


A total of 22 results for investment property hard money lenders were found in Palmer, AK. The median amount for loans in this city is $283,334. Interest rates for private loans average about 10.9%. The typical loan made in this city has a length of 34 months. The mean loan includes a 3.1 percent origination cost. Lenders in Palmer average a 73% loan-to-value on their deals.
Cassandra is a real estate investor in Palmer, AK. She finds a rental house to purchase for $180,000 but she is short on funds so she obtains a private loan from Rehabbers Lending . The lender loans Cassandra 70% of the value of the house (LTV), so she will be required to fund the other 30%. The additional parameters of the deal are as follows: 1) a 4 year, interest only note, 2) a 8% interest rate, and 3) 5 origination points paid at the closing. Given this deal, Cassandra will have to make the following payments: 1) $54,000 down when the deal closes (due to the 70% LTV), 2) $6,300 in origination points (5% x the $126,000 principle), and 3) $840 per month in interest payments.
Roberto is an investor in Palmer, AK. He discovers an investment property he wants to buy for $300,000 but he does not have enough funds so he obtains a private money loan from Success Lending Company . Roberto and Success Lending Company agree to a 65% loan-to-value (LTV) so they will fund 65% of the purchase price and Roberto will have to come up with the other 35%. In addition, they stipulate a 3 year, interest-only loan at a 12% rate of interest, with a 5% origination fee paid at closing. By this deal, Roberto will have to fund $105,000 of his own funds into the deal in addition to the $9,750 origination fee (5% x $195,000 principle amount). He will also need to pay $1,950 per month in interest.

First hands-on with Ninja Theory's Hellblade
Action game for PS4 and PC
Ninja Theory has felt like a mercenary of late. Enslaved didn't sell as well as it should have (neither did Heavenly Sword), and so the last five years has been spent 1) making a mobile game for EA-owned publisher Chillingo, 2) trying to reboot Devil May Cry for Capcom, and 3) working on Disney Infinity characters.
"We've been lucky that we've been able to survive is the reality," Ninja Theory's Dominic Matthews told me at gamescom. "We came off the back of DmC at a time that was very different for the console space." The team tried to pitch a "big AAA blockbuster, $60 game that didn't get anywhere. The type of games we make can't be sustained in the AAA blockbuster market anymore."
"We need to sell about 300K units to make its money back, which won't be easy," but it's a more preferable situation than "needing to sell 5 million."
Hellblade is the studio's first independent game, Matthews reminds me. The digital-only PS4 and PC release is being handled by a "small team of 15 people," including recently-returned Heavenly Sword art director Hugues Giboire, who want to "create something with all the creative spirit of indie development, but still deliver AAA production values."
The lack of a publisher also means Ninja Theory can open up its process into indie-staple "transparent" development, updating fans directly so people can "see the game evolve." That's why it was playable this week, despite it being "kind of a lot earlier than we'd normally show it."
Hellblade is the story of Senua, a Celtic warrior suffering from mental illness that manifests in her world. Her state of mind affects the world around here. The weather gets gloomy, rainy, sky full of lighting and rolling thunder. Beefy, imposing enemies come menacing in one at a time. Working with mental health experts and sufferers, the team is still learning about the "diversity we can bring in with the psychosis element," "different visualizations" based on "the range of experiences people have."
But these are not mere hallucinations or effects, as is common in games as recently as Far Cry and Batman. Ninja Theory is focused on "representing this as the reality, because, to [Senua], this is reality. There's no switch to turn it off and on; everything is real to her."
It's an interesting contrast to the frequent stylistic separation between real and unreal. The first Hannibal Lector film, Manhunter, uses excellent visual affects to distinguish how its villain sees the world, versus the objective film reality. The recent TV adaptation does the same with its hero. Here, though, playing as Senua, there is no objective reality to turn to, just hers.
Given Ninja Theory's past, this then manifests itself more on the nose as a literal "fight your demons," because it is still a third-person action game (there was a light puzzle in the build I played, too).
I enjoy the focus on one-on-one combat, which restricts the camera and brings it in tighter because you, as the player, don't have to protect ya neck worry about additional enemies coming in from all sides. In combat there is a quick evade, block (and parry), and a few strikes. Combat feels well weighted. A successful block still feels perilous, as it should with sword just inches away from killing out bangs on your own steel with force.
It does have the draw back of making movement less key, based on the fewer than 10 encounters in this current build. Footwork is important to a fighter, be they using sword or melee, and while most action games don't make movement too important, the ping-pong between combatants give the illusion they do (I'd argue Resident Evil 4 does it better than the typical walk/roll/sprint).
Ninja Theory has the right approach with Hellblade. It uses the limited third-person perspective to render Senua's problems physical; and to "tell her story," which happens to be the story of someone with mental illness, and "represent her character in a truthful way" that is unique to her experience. "What we don't want to do is reduce [mental illness] to mechanics," Matthews said, referencing things like Amnesia's "Sanity meter." Hopefully Senua's story will be a good one.

Trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome, is a chromosomal condition in which there are three copies of chromosome 21 in the cells of the body instead of two. Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder, affecting one in 550 newborn babies, in the absence of prenatal screening.
The term syndrome is used to describe a collection of distinctive characteristics that are often seen together in an affected individual. Babies with Trisomy 21 have recognisable characteristics referred to as Down syndrome.
Specific facial characteristics e.g. upward slanting eyes, small folded ears, a small mouth giving the appearance of a large tongue, a small flattened nose and a short wide neck.
Poor muscle tone making them appear floppy, as babies.
A single crease that goes directly across the palm of the hand.
Heart defects affect almost half of all babies with Down syndrome.
Intestinal malformations requiring surgery are found in approximately 12 per cent of babies with Down syndrome.
Vision problems are found in 60 per cent of children with Down syndrome and may require glasses, surgery or other treatments.
Hearing loss affects up to 75 per cent of children. Screening throughout early childhood is important to help with early diagnosis and treatment.
Most of the health problems associated with Down syndrome cannot be identified before birth but can be treated and the life expectancy for affected people is approximately 60 years.
Down syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome number 21and the incidence is equally divided across male and female babies. The chance of having a baby with Down syndrome increases with maternal age. The chance of a mother having a baby with Down syndrome at the age of 25 is approximately one in 1383. This chance increases to one in 84 at the age of 40.
Normally egg and sperm cells have 23 chromosomes each which join to form a future baby with 46 chromosomes (23 plus 23) in each cell. During fertilisation each of the chromosomes from the egg and the sperm fuse and separate. If this separation does not occur properly, a cell with three copies of the chromosome is the result. This cell starts rapidly copying itself to eventually form a baby with each of its cells having the extra copy of the chromosome 21. It is this extra chromosome that causes the intellectual and physical characteristics of Down syndrome.
In one per cent of Down syndrome cases the extra copy of the chromosome 21 is not in every cell. This situation is called Mosaicism (mixture) and is likely to result in less severe characteristics of Down syndrome.
Antenatal screening tests for Trisomy 21 have been developed and are available to women of any age. Screening tests include the first trimester combined screening test (involving the nuchal translucency ultrasound measurement and blood test between 11+0 and 13+6 weeks) and the second trimester triple test (blood test). The obstetric ultrasound between 18 and 20 weeks is not considered a screening test for Down syndrome as at leat half of the affected babies with Trisomy 21 will not be identified at this ultrasound assessment.
Trisomy 21 can be suspected prenatally (before birth) or after birth; however the diagnosis can only be made after chromosomal analysis. Diagnosis can be confirmed prenatally by chromosomal analysis on samples obtained following ultrasound-guided procedures such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis. For further information on prenatal testing please refer to Mater Mothers' Hospital's brochure: Prenatal diagnostic procedures.
Babies with Down syndrome have a variable prognosis which is determined by the health issues of the affected individual.
There is approximately a one per cent chance of conceiving a baby with Trisomy 21 in a future pregnancy. This percentage is further increased if the mother is over the age of 40 or if the Down syndrome is due to a translocation.

The US general most respected by the Nazis may surprise you
Let's be clear: if the German high command had any respect for American generals at the outset of World War II, they would never have declared war in the first place. But as we all know, respect is earned and not issued, so it took a little time for the United States to earn respect on the battlefield.
History may remember the most audacious personalities and events, while some figures end up quietly stealing the spotlight through bravery and determination. Jimmy Doolittle did both.
That's right, it's good ol' Jimmy "Payback's a Bitch" Doolittle.
Before the many, many armchair historians start clacking away at their keyboards try to remind me that Gen. George S. Patton existed and that Nazi High Command feared him the most, let me remind readers that fear and respect are not the same thing and that Patton's history is often apocryphal. Even Patton's personal biographer wrote he was not a "hero even to professional German officers who respected him as the adversary they most feared in battle." For most of World War II, the German general staff barely noticed Patton at all.
This isn't to imply that Patton didn't deserve his accolades and reputation or that he didn't do as history says he did. Patton's shift from entrenched positions in North Africa to a more mobile kind of warfare, one designed to destroy the enemy's forces rather than hold land, helped turn the tide for the Allies in World War II. But to the Germans, Patton was one threat among many. By 1944, Patton didn't even warrant a one-paragraph briefing in the German High Command's War Diary. In their view, the Allied invasion of Sicily was nothing to brag about. Even as 3rd Army commander in Europe, the Germans facing Patton used words like "timid" and "systematic" to describe his tactics.
Harsh words from the Germans. But they still lost.
When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Jimmy Doolittle was Maj. Jimmy Doolittle. He was promoted after the United States entered World War II, and of course, immediately began planning his infamous raid over Tokyo. The Doolittle Raid involved secretly getting 16 B-25 Mitchell bombers as close to Japan as possible aboard the USS Hornet, and then taking off on a short runway – something that had never been done – then flying these stripped-down tin cans full of bombs over the Japanese homeland and crash landing in China, hopefully avoiding Japanese patrols.
This is a plan so unprecedented and audacious that I can't even come up with a modern real-world comparison. Three of the Doolittle Raiders died after dropping their ordnance, one crew was interned in the USSR, eight were captured by the Japanese, and all planes were lost. But Jimmy Doolittle was flying in the lead plane. It was his first combat mission. But while the Doolittle Raid may have awed the Japanese and the American public, it did little for Nazis. Doolittle wasn't finished though. In just two years, he would be promoted to Lieutenant General and go from commanding a squadron of 16 bombers to commanding the entire Eighth Air Force – and the largest aerial formation ever assembled.
Lt. Col. James Doolittle wires a Japanese Medal of Peace to one of the bombs destined for Tokyo in 1942.
The air war over Europe was very, very different from the fighting on the ground and was a much longer war. By 1944, Doolittle was in command of Eighth Air Force in Europe, and the Allies were making preparations for the coming D-Day invasions. Doolittle and the Eighth were tasked with reducing the effectiveness of the Luftwaffe and giving the Allies complete air superiority over Europe. At the time, the German air forces were wreaking havoc on Allied bombers. American bombers would avoid any contact with the Luftwaffe if they didn't have fighter protection, and even when they did, the Nazi's twin-engine Zerstörergeschwader heavy fighters and Sturmböcke were still able to take their toll on Army Air Forces. But Operation Argument – better known as "Big Week" – changed all that.
The Germans had pulled their entire air force back to Germany. Doolittle wanted to plan Big Week in a way that would force Germany to respond with fighter interceptions so he could either destroy the Luftwaffe in the air or destroy the production of replacement aircraft. The Nazis, with their new heavy fighter tactics, were more than willing to challenge the Eighth Air Force bombers. But Doolittle had two surprises waiting for them. The first was the new longer-range P-51 Mustang fighter. The second was a revolution in bomber defense tactics: instead of being forced to stay close to the bombers, fighter escorts could sweep the skies clear well ahead of the bombers.
Game changer.
Doolittle targeted factories all over Germany, in 11 cities, including Leipzig, Brunswick, Gotha, Regensburg, Schweinfurt, Augsburg, Stuttgart, and Steyr, to name a few. Some 3,894 heavy bombers and 800 fighters took off from England, including the new P-51 flying well ahead of the bomber force. And the Luftwaffe arrived in force to greet them. The new fighters and their new tactics were devastating to the heavy German fighters. Allied airmen hunted down and picked off the fighters before they could get close to the bomber formations. During 3,000 sorties over six days, the Allies punished the German air force and industrial capacity. The air raids damaged or destroyed 75 percent of the factories that produced 90 percent of Germany's aircraft. The Luftwaffe was "helpless" in the face of the aerial onslaught.
The Nazis lost hundreds of airplanes and pilots, and had the capacity to replace neither of them. The Allies would soon have total air superiority over Europe, just in time for the June 1944 invasion of France. Doolittle also ordered his fighters to hit any military targets on the ground if the opportunity arose. By the time Allied forces landed in Normandy, flak was taking down more Allied bombers than fighters were. The Nazis noticed, especially Adolf Galland, a fighter ace and senior commander of the Luftwaffe under Hermann Goering.
Courtesy of 8th Air Force.
Galland would become friends with many of the Allied officers he fought after World War II. One of those was James Doolittle. After the war, Galland told Doolittle that the German High Command had no idea what was happening to them until it was much too late, and they were overcommitted. His tactic of allowing fighters to sweep the skies instead of being in formation with the bombers took the Luftwaffe from offense to defense for the rest of the war, and never again would the Luftwaffe be a considerable threat to the Allies in the air. Because of this, the Germans knew Doolittle could destroy the German oil industry, as well as its communications and transportation infrastructure. The Army Air Force did just that.
Leading the way was one extraordinary leader, James Doolittle.

Daniel Radcliffe celebrated his 19th birthday by lunching at London's Wolseley with his parents and Laura O'Toole, whom he met while performing in Equus. Although it was reported that the couple split up earlier this year, it looks like their relationship could be back on. It's been a week celebrations for the Harry Potter star, who was named top earning "tween" alongside Miley Cyrus in Forbes' annual list thanks to the whopping £12.5 million he took home last year. He also apparently received a rather unusual birthday present from some friends, who reportedly commissioned an artist to make a life-size model of him out of cheese. Well, I guess that's a pretty good gift for the teenager who has everything. How well do you know the birthday boy?

'Hideaway in Rockford' may be 1Q tourism highlight
Jeff Kolkey
ROCKFORD — A "Hideaway in Rockford" campaign that lampooned a national political issue to promote Rockford area attractions with a series of three videos was the highlight of a Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau's first quarter report on Monday.
Officials delivered the report to members of the Rockford Planning and Development Committee, covering the first three months of the calendar year. Bureau CEO John Groh said the campaign ran "full force" for about a month after Democratic state senators from Wisconsin briefly took refuge in Rockford in February.
"We had a national media PR strategy," Groh said. "The entire campaign was crazy to see come together. Sometimes you just never know when you throw something like this out there what kind of response you are going to receive."
The response was impressive. Combined, the videos were viewed more than 120,000 times on YouTube and included some chuckle-worthy one-liners. Word spread of the tongue-in-cheek videos from Twitter to
Facebook to mainstream media outlets, generating what would be the equivalent of $500,000 in advertising.
It launched Feb. 25, using humor to capitalize on political maneuvering in Madison in which Democrats from the Wisconsin Legislature fled to Illinois in an attempt to prevent Wisconsin from limiting union bargaining rights.
A trilogy of videos were ultimately released featuring a pretend search for the Wisconsin senators. But in the videos, the officers sent to retrieve them wound up getting distracted by all the fun things to do in Rockford.
In addition to the campaign, Visitors Bureau Board Chairwoman Linda Heckert said the bureau is helping to grow hotel occupancy rates and revenue by booking new events.
Visitors Bureau staff secured 67 group bookings to either come to Rockford or return to Rockford during the next three years, filling an estimated 16,310 hotel room nights and generating an estimated $2.8 million economic activity.
Through March, actual hotel occupancy rates were up 14.5 percent throughout Rockford and Winnebago County year-to-date and have strengthened since then.
Heckert also noted that the Visitors Bureau and Rockford struck a new agreement during the first quarter of the year.
The new deal runs through 2016.

With a name like Lick, it's a retail concept that's hard to ignore. Lick is the adult candy store created by the Marshall Retail Group. Candy stores, especially those for more mature tastes, are growing in the United States, with stores such as Lick, Dylan's and Sugarfina. According to the National Confectioners Association, candy is a $33 billion industry, with no indicators of slowing down. Lick candy stores started in 2010, with nine stores currently operating around the U.S. When Lick built its Las Vegas store at Mandalay Bay, they wanted to improve the build-out time and material costs.
With every store, Lick's design challenge is about showcasing the product. Many footprints are small so creating visual impact from the moment you see the store is tricky. "We format our stores to create multiple focal points without taking away precious square footage," said Deborah Sylva, director of store design and construction for MRG. The store front and interior use bright colors and interesting graphics to draw customers into the store. To contrast the bright trim colors, Lick uses white, dotted panels to cover most of the exterior and interior walls. "It visually represents the look of gumballs or bubbles to give us that image of candy from the moment you see the store," says Sylva. In past installations, the "gumball" panels were made from embossed metal and although they performed well, they were cost prohibitive and their intense field fabrication made them difficult to install.
Enter ATI's MirroFlex, the thermoplastic laminate that can be cut onsite with scissors. MirroFlex's Dome pattern was a replica of the "gumball" metal panels Lick had used in the past, with several significant differences: lighter, flexible and less expensive to name a few. "We switched from metal to MirroFlex for two reasons: MirroFlex is economical and it's easier to install," said Sylva. "The contractors really liked working with ATI's material, much more than the metal panels we had before. And our account rep was super responsive to requests for product or questions about product." But the proof, as they say, is in the pudding. "The materials were installed in 2012 and they've held up great," said Sylva. "Our facilities and maintenance team hasn't had to repair anything." By switching out metal for MirroFlex, Sylva created significant savings on material and installation costs: a sweet victory for the design team. "Our experience with ATI has been fantastic," said Sylva.

Paul Malchesky wins race to become judge of Painesville Municipal Court

Paul Malchesky is very familiar with Painesville Municipal Court, where he's served for 15 years as an acting judge.
Now, Malchesky can remove the word "acting" from that title, after winning the race for Painesville Municipal Court judge in the Nov. 5 General Election.
Malchesky, defeated appointed Judge James O'Leary by a margin of 10,203 to 7,758, according to unofficial final returns from the Lake County Elections Board.
"I will serve with humility and integrity," Malchesky said, when contacted by telephone after his victory.
Malchesky, 47, an attorney with Cannon, Aveni & Malchesky Co. LPA of Painesville, won the battle to finish an unexpired term on the Painesville Municipal Court bench that ends Dec 31, 2023.
The position became vacant when longtime Painesville Municipal Court Judge Michael Cicconetti retired in September. Cicconetti had been elected to a fifth six-year term in 2017.
O'Leary, 62, took over as Cicconetti's successor on Oct. 1. He was selected a few days earlier to fill the vacancy by Gov. Mike DeWine. Upon accepting the appointment, O'Leary knew that he would need to run in the Nov. 5 election to continue serving the remainder of Cicconetti's current term.
As his post-election party got underway at Painesville Elks Lodge 549 in the early evening of Nov. 5, O'Leary said whether he ended up winning or losing, he would give the glory to God.
He also thanked friends, family members and other volunteers for their efforts during his campaign.
"I have such gratitude to them for the hard work they put in," he said.
Malchesky and O'Leary both reside in Concord Township and each pledged to continue handing down the occasional creative sentences that garnered worldwide attention for Cicconetti.
Another goal cited by Malchesky during the campaign was to build on the cooperative partnerships he's established with the Lake County Sheriff's Office, as well as the local police departments and officials that are within the Painesville Municipal's Court jurisdiction.

Silver and bronze for Australian high school students in international space race
etsmagazine
on February 27, 2017 at 8:03 am
It was a dream come true for the Australian high school students who took control of NASA robots on the International Space Station last month, during the 2016/17 Zero Robotics Championship Final, run by the University of Sydney's Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies.
The competition, which began in May last year and progressed through multiple rounds of increasing complexity, challenged participants to test their coding skills on NASA robots known as SPHERES (Synchronized, Position, Hold, Engage, Reorient Experimental Satellites).
Finals were held on the International Space Station, and streamed around the world, on Friday 27 January. In Australia, local teams gathered to watch the finals event at a special celebration held at the University of Sydney's Camperdown campus.
Supported by the University of Sydney, 20 high school teams from across NSW participated in the competition, with five of the teams (Barker College, Fort St High School, Gosford High School, James Ruse Agricultural High School and North Sydney Boys High School) getting the opportunity to participate in the championship event.
In the final showdown, the team from North Sydney Boys High School led an alliance with crews from the US and Romania to fine-tune their code that took control of the SPHERES on the International Space Station, and then watched live as the astronauts set up the SPHERES for them to compete against each other in challenges. The team made it through to the championship match and took out second place overall in the competition.
Following closely behind was the Gosford High School team, whose alliance with two US teams finished in third place overall.
"The whole event was a huge success. For those teams who made it to the space station, this is a profound achievement and it was great to see that the students got a big kick out of seeing their code in space", said Benjamin Morrell, Zero Robotics Australia Coordinator from the University of Sydney.
"Hopefully this incredible achievement marks a great start to the school year."
The competition, created by University of Sydney's former NASA astronaut Professor Greg Chamitoff and top tech school Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is a global robotics challenge where high school students have the opportunity to utilise the International Space Station as a laboratory to test their programming on NASA robots known as SPHERES (Synchronized, Position, Hold, Engage, Reorient Experimental Satellites).
"You program stuff in space, how much cooler can you get?" said Luke Tuthill, a member of Gosford High School's team who recently finished Year 12 and hopes to study Computer Science at university this year.
"Through Zero Robotics, students not only gain valuable skills in engineering, maths, physics, robotics and coding, but they're also given the chance to put those skills to the test in an incredible and exciting out-of-this-world environment – on the International Space Station," Professor Chamitoff said.

My older kiddos roll out of bed early and hit the ground running. They've been that way from the very beginning.
Not S. No, my sweet middle girl takes after her momma. And that means waking up doesn't come easy.
She does not function well without her orange juice. It's like her body doesn't wake up until she has that jolt of fructose. In fact, we've been known to ration orange juice (or make a grocery trip just to get it) to make sure she has at least a small cup. It gets ugly around here otherwise.
Seriously, it's like coffee for the three year old set.
They were still jabbering at 9:00 last night, happy sibling voices conversing instead of sleeping. And now they are still sleeping. Oh what a love/hate relationship I have with you daylight saving time.
So I have a few extra minutes this morning. Minutes to write. To fill this space that I've left empty for so many months now.
This week is spring break for our local schools. Since most of our normal activities for the week are cancelled for the break, we will join in the fun. Trips to the fire museum, the children's museum, the zoo await us.
The weather isn't as warm as I would prefer this week, in the mid to upper fifties instead of the seventies, but I don't want to rush the long, hot days of summer, so we will put on jackets and enjoy the things our city has to offer.
The weekend was delightful, temperatures in the low 70s. We had a beautiful spring day on Saturday and enjoyed it playing in the yard with Nonnie and Pops, having lunch out, and visiting the park. Sunday was dreary and rainy, a great day to nap and catch up on that hour of sleep we lost overnight Saturday.
The daffodils have just started to bloom here. A late start this year, but a gorgeous herald of spring. Daffodils and tulips make me smile.
Last Saturday I ran in snow, this Saturday I ran in shorts. Oh spring, you are coming, and I welcome you with open arms.
Yesterday we had a super busy day planned. Doctor appointment at 9, meeting a friend at the mall at 10 to shop for family picture clothes, meeting 2 people at 12:45 to pick up items I was buying, and squeezing in sometime a trip to Target. We are also having VBS at church this week in the evening.
So, I get everyone up and ready and am about to head out the door at 8:40 only to find that I have no car keys! Yep, searched everywhere and no keys. Ugh! I called Matt, and he had to leave work to bring me a key to my car. Then I realized I had left them on the nursery desk at church.
Normally I would have just said, okay, we aren't going anywhere today, but I really needed to do these things. M has a recurring rash that I'm trying to figure out. Family pictures are Friday! I had made arrangements with the two ladies. We had to have wipes, bread (I didn't have time to make any), and laundry detergent!
Matt got here, and we immediately set out. Now, I don't usually plan more than a couple of stops in a day because the kids get tired and whiny. And I do, too. But yesterday they were real troopers!
The doc didn't know anymore about the rash than I already knew, so I'm trying a medicine recommended by a friend and hoping for the best.
I found clothes for pictures! I bought dresses for the girls several weeks ago but needed things for the rest of us. I found shirts for Matt and J and a complete outfit for me. Never happens that easily!
And my wonderful friend, Liz…she spent all morning with us at the mall helping me find things that coordinated and wrangling my gang (as well as her son) while I tried on clothes. And then, she went to Target for me! She was going anyway, so she picked up my things so I wouldn't have to get the kids in and out again. She's amazing!
We made it home about 1:30 tired, hungry, and with Chick-Fil-A in hand.
And today? We're not leaving the house!
Life keeps moving at a rapid pace. It's hard to keep up. Sometimes I long for the "quiet" days when our children were younger and there were less commitments and outside demands. If I feel this way now, what will it be like in 5 years or so when our children are deep into sports, dance, friends, etc that fill our time as well as theirs?
We are filling our Summer with trips to the park, zoo visits, outside play, water play, and lots of time with friends (both for the kids and the mommy). It has been good, but I think things have sped up instead of slowing down since we finished school. I guess that's inherent with our homeschooling; we slow down during the school year because we need to be home to do school and all of the kids friends are in school. Seems counterintuitive, but seems to be true. For this year at least.
E and J love to be outside to ride their bikes. It is impossible to keep M in one place while we're out (without lugging the pack 'n play out there). Yesterday M was crawling all over the front yard, driveway, and carport. I don't know how she managed to not scrape up her legs and feet. That girl is busy!
E is asking when we'll start first grade. Our curriculum came a few weeks ago, so I guess I'll take some time the next few days to look over it, and we'll start school again next week. I'm excited about our curriculum, and this will give us a good way to keep our time occupied on the hot, hot days. Doesn't hurt that it will give us a little flexibility for the school year.
So, that's the summary of our Summer so far. Hope you're enjoying June!
As each of our children learn to talk, new words or phrases are added to our family vocabulary. S's big contribution is the "hug abyss".
Each night as we tucked the children not bed she would say, "I hug abyss you!" Meaning, I want a hug and kiss.
So every night we hug abyss.
There are certain things they say (and ways they say things) that I wish would never change.
My children call fishing poles "fishing wands" and root beer "root beard".
I wish I could record all of J's speech right now to have when he is older. His enunciation, age-related speech "impediments", tone of voice are just so cute (and often hilarious). I know that all too soon he will talk like a big boy and I love the way he speaks right now.
S is coming into her own in the speech department. She comes up to us and jabber, jabber, jabbers. Sometimes she points emphatically, sometimes she smiles. We know she's telling us something, but have no clue what she's saying. She does have a lot of words, though, including "ha-bow" (hairbow), "to-bus" (toothbrush), and the sweetest little "peese" (please) ever.
The other night after dinner we were discussing (at E's prompting) what to do in the event of fire. J said that if your clothes are on fire you "stop, rock, and roll".
J says "choke" when he means "joke".
E is getting old enough that she doesn't have many mispronounced or incorrectly used words. She often brings a smile to our faces with her phrasing or use of certain words, but most of her funny "baby speech" is long gone. It's kind of sad. However, she currently uses the word "okay" like she's a grown up. She will tell J or S something and then say, "okaaaaay?" in a high pitched voice.
Oh how I love "kid speak". I'm really going to miss it in a few years when our kiddos are older, but right now I will smile, laugh, and soak it up (and record as much of it as I can).

Sebi eases rules for angel investment in startups
Sebi, in its board meeting, has allowed angel funds to invest in startups incorporated within five years before the day of investment, up from three years.TNN | November 24, 2016, 07:45 IST
MUMBAI: In an attempt to boost early-stage funding in startups, Sebi on Wednesday relaxed norms for angel investors. The regulator has raised the total number of angel investors in a startup to 200 from 49. Sebi has also reduced the minimum investment amount in startups by angel investors to Rs 25 lakh from Rs 50 lakh. Angel investors are financiers who put money in new companies at their formative stages.
Sebi, in its board meeting, has allowed angel funds to invest in startups incorporated within five years before the day of investment, up from three years. Sebi also said that an investment by an angel fund would be locked-in for one year, down from three years. It allowed angel funds to invest in overseas venture capital undertakings up to 25% of their investible corpus.
The regulator also decided to bar promoters and the top management of companies from entering into agreements with private equity players for an additional compensation without a nod from the company's board and shareholders. It said that all such agreements "entered during the past three years from the date of the Sebi notification should be informed to the bourses for public dissemination including those which may not be currently valid."
Sebi said that by amending some of the rules, soon it would allow foreign portfolio investors to invest in unlisted debt securities and securitised debt instruments. This decision was taken to attract inflows into India's debt market and it was in line with a recent announcement by the RBI.
In the last couple of years, easy accessibility of funds for entrepreneurs to start new businesses has been one of the focus areas for the Modi government. Sebi chairman U K Sinha too has been pushing this initiative. One of Sebi's key decisions has been to start a new listing platform for startups.

The Republican Workers Party?
Editorial of The New York Sun | November 6, 2020
https://www.nysun.com/editorials/the-republican-workers-party/91328/
Someday, when historians look back on this moment, our guess is they will fix on one particular point that President Trump made at the White House last night. It won't be his allegations of voter fraud, though that is in the headlines at the moment. Rather it will be the part where he said, "Democrats are the party of big donors, big media, and big tech, it seems, and the Republicans have become the party of the American worker."
We've heard a lot of arresting claims from politicians in the lengthening span of our newspaper years, but few rival that one. We've also heard a lot of caviling by Democrats — and some Republicans — to the effect that Mr. Trump has changed the Republican Party. Yet last night was a rare glimpse at Mr. Trump himself describing in his own stream-of-consciousness what are the changes that he reckons he has wrought.
"I won," Mr. Trump boasted, in words calculated to get the goat of the progressive, liberal, Democrats on the coasts , "the largest share of nonwhite voters of any Republicans in 60 years, including historic numbers of Latino, African American, Asian American, and Native American voters, the largest ever in our history. We grew our party by 4 million voters, the greatest turnout in Republican Party history."
Last night was hardly the first time that we've heard this language from Mr. Trump or that it's been picked up in the press. Before Mr. Trump was nominated in 2016, the Atlantic put up the headline "A Trumpist Workers' Party Manifesto." After Mr. Trump was nominated, the Times issued a dispatch about making the GOP into a "workers party." Rolling Stone had an early piece saying "Democratic incompetence" had made the "previously unthinkable possible."
What's startling is that the boast has been so roundly ratified in the election just ended. That theme will be studied even if it turns out that Mr. Trump has lost the election. If so, it will be by a much slimmer margin than the pollsters predicted. And after a polling campaign that was so uniform in its errors that even the most level-headed Americans are starting to grapple with the concept of voter suppression through polling.
This too, we suspect, will have to be sorted out by historians. Those impish gnomes might well conclude that the erroneous polling did serve to suppress some of the Trump vote, meaning there's even more support out there for Mr. Trump's brand of Republicanism than so far discerned. It could also be an example of the aphorism that the scandal is often found not in what's illegal but what's legal.
All of which is something to think about if it does turn out, as is so — yet again — widely being predicted, that Mr. Trump has been defeated. What, then, might Mr. Trump do? Might he, or his followers, try to finish reconfiguring the Republican Party? And try for a second term in 2024? Or form a new "workers party" to seize sizable parts of both the Democratic and Republican parties?
Two years ago, a book called "The Republican Workers Party" was brought out by the law professor F.H. Buckley. He is quoted on his book's page on Amazon as calling it the future of American presidential politics — a "socially conservative but economically middle-of-the-road party, offering a way back to the land of opportunity where our children will have it better than we did." How, after this election, could that be ruled out?

Lost Fifth Album
The Pineapple Head · 10/28/1810:04 PM
What's everyone's thoughts on the 'Lost Fifth' album of Crowded House which would have been released some time after 1994. Has anyone made their own version using rarities? Do you have an order? Which tracks would be the singles? I'd love to find out!
Finn Brothers Rarities?
The Pineapple Head · 11/19/187:11 PM
Are there any Finn Bros rarities that we know to exist? Any links to these if possible?
Re: Finn Brothers Rarities?
Kiwi · 12/15/182:51 AM
I've never heard this?
Jaffaman · 12/15/184:59 PM
Also known as "Don't Rely On", it was recorded by Tim and Neil in 1990 for the Finn Brothers album before that project was abandoned and Tim joined Crowded House. The song was rewritten and re-recorded as "Always Never Now" for Tim's Before and After album.
koabac · 12/15/185:49 PM
Thanks, Jaffman - is the "Always Never Know" still credited to both Tim and Neil on "Before & After?" OR should he, technically be credited, but decided to leave his name off it? Or was Neil never even co-credited for "Sound Of Truth?" Just curious. Thanks. Happy holidays to you and yours. xo
Thanks for the info - appreciated! I have always liked "always never now" now I know why!
Jaffaman · 12/16/184:53 AM
I don't have Tim's album to hand right now to check the credits but Neil sang some verses on the original, which likely means it was co-written.
Thanks, Jaffa - I don't remember seeing Neil credited on Tim's version of "Always Never Know," but it's possible he/they decided to leave his name off it. I did check the wikipedia for and Neil's not credited. Maybe Tim changed it enough to warrant a credit, or maybe it was just their choice. I'd love to know the behind the scenes story. Hmmm.
Zuf · 11/20/188:08 AM
Apart from the various b-sides, probably the best one to get is the Visconti version of Everyone is Here, and maybe Mary of the South Seas which getting trickier to find even though it was released on Other Enz vol.1. Of course there are a number of bootleg concerts out there as well.
sinner62 · 11/20/1810:44 AM
https://www.youtube.com/channe...5Or7-ffQhiLShd67bHyg Peter Green has posted early studio versions of at least 4 tracks done at Roundhead Studios 2003 from Everyone is Here, and non album tracks too! These are total gems.
Steve Shealy · 11/20/181:24 PM
Mary was also on a collection of Celtic music; don't remember the name and don't know if it is still in print. Maybe I can track it down.
Shadowman · 11/20/182:42 PM
Into the water from Tim's Anthology is also half a Finn Bros song, with vocals from both Tim and Neil. And the version of throw your arms around me from the Tim Finn rarities collection. And the demo from Prodigal son. Since its a bside from the Finn bros its pretty rare I guess.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U9Q0eizosQ I found Mary of the South Seas here, I was aware of it.
Finn Brothers B sides and other rarities can be heard in The Kitchen Sink collections at http://www.neilfinn.com/music/ Videos at http://www.neilfinn.com/everyone-is-here and http://www.neilfinn.com/finn
Enzboy · 11/22/187:28 AM
"Mary of the South Seas" can be found on the Common Ground album (an Irish inspired album) from 1996 (issued in Holland). There was also a 5 track promo sampler that also featured the track.
Shadowman · 11/22/1811:15 AM
The sound of truth is also a nice rarity.
JimC · 11/24/1810:35 AM
The instrumental version of Edible Flowers is really nice.
Re: Lost Fifth Album
Sugar Mouse · 10/29/181:30 AM
What lost fifth album?
The Pineapple Head · 10/29/188:33 AM
The album that would have been made after Together Alone but wasn't completed/made.
Steve Shealy · 10/29/1812:11 PM
I have, but I'm not at home and don't have the iPod it's on with me. I'll try to remember to dig it out sometime and get back to you.
slowpogo · 10/29/186:08 PM
I don't get the question. It's confusing because they released Afterglow after TA, and then of course two more albums later.
I don't find it confusing at all. Afterglow was a "leftovers" album released after they broke up, some of which is post-TA, plus other material from that period exists. An "album" could be made from that material (and a pretty good one at that). The other two came years later after they reformed.
Thanks for explaining, but the subtlety of the question was not implicit to me. I was unsure if the OP even knew there were albums after TA. I know they recorded a few demos with Peter Jones (ie Help Is Coming) but I didn't know there was enough for a whole album. Are you counting the tracks with Paul recorded for Recurring Dream as well? B sides from Try Whistling This that were originally conceived as CH songs (ie Tokyo)? The parameters still aren't very clear to me.
Let me rephrase the question. If you were to create a 'Lost Fifth' track listing using demos, Recurring Dream tracks, B sides, rarities ect, what songs would you pick from that period of the band?
koabac · 10/30/1812:25 AM
Whysus · 10/30/183:09 AM
The lost 5th album was also raised in the topic thread below. https://www.frenzforum.com/top...lbum-finally-arrived Camus presented a good track listing of: Help Is Coming, Anthem, I Don't Know You, Taste of Something Divine, Spirit of the Stairs (York St Demo), Loose Tongue, Instinct (York St Demo) Everything Is Good For You, Not The Girl, bonus track Instinct (single version) Tokyo would fit pretty well onto that track list too, making it a 10 track album.... I wasn't aware it was...
Different order, but mine are basically the same as Camus'. Used the studio demo of Stairs and the rough mix of Loose tongue. Some have suggested that Astro was considered, but seems like Jaffa or someone shot that down. Have not heard it suggested that Tokyo was considered.
slowpogo · 10/31/183:19 AM
I don't know if Tokyo was ever officially considered or rehearsed by Crowded House, but I recall reading that it was written during the band's tenure.
Camus · 11/3/188:27 AM
Astro was kicking around at that stage, it was performed at a Finn concert in 1995/6 it's in one of the fan club CDs. Listening to the stuff recorded at the time there was some cracking material.
Paināporo · 11/3/186:39 PM
I am quite fond of my lost CH album, which I call Something Divine. I chose to imagine a word where some new songs are being worked on at the same time that outtakes from TA are being considered and that Paul is still a member of the band. 1. New castle Jam 2. Anthem 3. Instinct 4. Everything is Good For You 5. You Can Touch 6. A Taste of Something Devine 7. Not the Girl You Think You Are 8. My Time is Now (Paul Hester) 9. Convent Girls 10. Help is Coming 11. Spirit is the Stairs (studio demo)
Mariola · 11/3/188:40 PM
I can tastify that Painaporos album Something Divine is one of the best albums CH (never) released.
Thanks, Mariola! And it has cover art:
The Pineapple Head · 11/4/188:39 PM
Painãporo do you have a link of any description to "This is massive" as I can't find it.
If you mean "My Time is Now", it's by Largest Living Things and is available on Other Enz: Split Enz and Beyond.
Lance LaSalle · 11/6/1810:41 AM
I've made a playlist that could have been released in 1996 or so, it utiilizes a couple of outtakes from Together Alone, though. (And they do sound ever-so-slightly out of place.) But it's a great album full of fantastic mid-nineties rock. I actually really, really really like it and I think I would have just loved in 1996, which was right when I was getting into all things Finn. I even think it might have been a big international hit, it sounds so "of the times." It goes like this:...
Steve Shealy · 11/6/183:10 PM
SOOOO much good music from that time frame! Sad they called it quits in what seems in retrospect to be a very creative time for Neil. But at least this stuff is "out" and we can enjoy it, shuffle it around and create interesting playlists and "what ifs".
Another thought just came to me, "Walk Tall" was from that period. Though it was a live cut, would have been interesting to see it developed and see what would have happened in the studio. Could have fit well on the "lost album".
To me, if these songs we know were on that "lost" album, it would be most probably second best album of CH, shortly after Together Alone, and maybe even with Woodface... Most of that songs are just brilliant, just to mention Anthem, Help is Coming, Taste of Something Divine, Everything is good for you, Spirit of the stairs are all just fantastic. Rest of them are also great...
Lance LaSalle · 11/8/1812:30 PM
I totally agree. My "Crowded House 96 " is my favorite Crowded House record after Together Alone.
In addition to the 1996 CH album I shared previously, I also have a "bonus disc" to that album, which I call the Lost Tapes '96. It includes the following: 1. Most Unwanted (MTV UK live) 2. Instinct (demo from FTTW DVD) 3. Be My Guest (live on the Internet) 4. Not the Girl You Think You Are (demo) 5. Dots on the Shell (live acoustic performance) 6. Everything Is Good For You (demo) 7. Loose Tongue (demo) 8. Falling Star (live acoustic radio performance) 9. I Don't Know You (demo) 10. Spirit...
Tim Finn Kitchen Sink: a chronological reference guide
Although Tim Finn has no convenient Kitchen Sink collections like that which Neil Finn (and Jaffaman) have generously provided to us fans, this is a list is meant to collate various Tim Finn or Tim Finn associated songs that have been released here and there in various forms in chronological. Due to the fact that there are no deluxe editions of Tim Finn albums as there are of Crowded House, this list of odds and sods is quite a bit longer than Neil's. I've also included prominent guest spots...
Re: Tim Finn Kitchen Sink: a chronological reference guide
In2FINN2 · 12/9/195:14 PM
@Lance LaSalle Great post
Wazymodo · 12/15/197:54 PM
Many thanks for this and enjoying the Steve Hoffman threads. I have a listing of "Sound of Truth" and "I can' Stand it" from the Woodface era. Any ideas? Dylan
Lance LaSalle · 12/16/197:14 AM
I've heard of "Sound of Truth": an early version of "Always Never Now." But I've never heard it. I've never heard of "I Can't Stand It." Would love to hear both of those. However, At any rate, I'm fairly certain they've never been released officially in any form and thus have been left off this list.
Camus · 12/22/1912:34 AM
There is a recording of Sound of Truth 'out there' but IIRC it's a recording of a playback so not the greatest recording.

"The shot heard 'round the world!"
Bobby Thompson's pennant winning home run against the Dodgers in 1951?
It was Dalton Carriker's Little League World Series winning home run against Tokyo in 2007!
(AP) Make it three straight Little League World Series championships for the United States. Dalton Carriker homered to right in the bottom of the eighth inning as Warner Robins, Ga., beat Tokyo 3-2 in a thrilling title game on Sunday.
The 12-year-old Carriker raised his arms in celebration after hitting a 2-1 pitch from Japan's Junsho Kiuchi over the right-field stands. "USA! USA!" cried the Georgia-partisan crowd.
Columbus, Ga., won the crown last year, and Ewa Beach, Hawaii, in 2005.
The jubilant kids from Warner Robins hugged Carriker as he reached the plate. A relieved manager Mickey Lay lost his hat after joining his team in celebration following a tense game marked by excellent pitching.
Georgia reliever Kendall Scott struck out 10 and allowed one hit over five-plus innings to quiet Japan's bats after Georgia fell behind 2-0 early. Zane Conlon got the last out in the top of the eighth after Scott left the game.
That set up Carriker's game-winning homer. The slugger, hitting .769 entering Sunday's game, was 0-for-2 with a walk when he came up in the eighth.
There was no doubt about his opposite-field shot, which easily cleared the hedges beyond the right-field fence.
And congratulations to you too, Bill.
Next time you want to show someone a picture of your grandson Dalton, you won't have to pull out your wallet. All you'll have to do is tell them to turn on TV.....or look at the magazines...or read the newspaper........etc., etc.
How great! I saw that game winning hit. Congratulations to your grandson!
Were you at the game? If not, I'm sure you were there via TV and in spirit.
I watched part of that game and thought that the pitcher from Japan was just dominating. Then, I had to do something that took me away from watching the ending. Needless to say, I've seen a thousand replays.
Now, for the "Third Generation" bit. Do you remember the championship touch football intermural game at Piedmont? You and I were in Miss Love's homeroom and we were playing Coach Edelman's homeroom. It must have been during lunch for there was a crowd on the sidline watching. In fact, they were so much on the sidelines that they were actually about 15 yards onto the field.
I was calling the plays and told you to run around left end, so far in fact, that I wanted you to run behind the crowd and use them as your downfiled blockers. You executed perfectly and ran 50 yards for the touchdown. We won!
Miss Love was so proud. She commented the next day that she "..saw one of her young men take that ball and do something with it and run real hard and made some points".
I know where Dalton got his athletic abilities.
Fairfax Cable's longest running series.
In addition to a half hour of discussion of the art of modern storytelling, Ellouise performed one of her most requested storys: "The Wedding Dress."
Ellouise is featured weekly on her own TV show on Maryland Cable, but I believe this was her first appearance on Virginia TV.
The discussion ranged from the early days from before writing was invented to the "trobadours" of the middle ages, to modern day storytelling.
.....and even a discussion of the great storytellers who graduated from the legendary Charlotte Central High School....from Marion Hargrove (See Here Private Hargrove......1942) to best selling author Jan Karon.....and Charles Kuralt.
Central High may only exist in our memories now, but to me, I've always thought of all of our 5 grandkids as "young wildcats." Linda says the name is very appropriate......sometimes.
With that thought in mind, here are some pictures of Don and Letty Nance's newest "wildcat," Jackson.
Jackson is a lot happier now that his Mom, Charlotte has joined them.
Basketweaving Time. One of the expressions we used back in the 50's when we sometimes referred to either the VERY old, or, uh humm,......... the insane. This was usually said in fun.
However, I came very close to fulfilling that phophesy recently after my two youngest grandchildren came home from a day care field trip with a couple of clay artifacts they had made.
They had visited a place here in Falls Church called The Clay Cafe, where youngsters can paint clay figurines and artifacts and then have them "baked" to a gloss that gives them a real professional pottery look.
I was so impressed that Linda and I took them back to that shop.....and asked them to paint something for us. Here's the coffee cup that my 7 year old made for us.
I had as much fun as the kids did! So, I went back to the Clay Cafe....this time WITHOUT the grandkids....and sat down with the other 6 and 7 year olds and painted a couple of cups for MYSELF, so I could be reminded of my two FAVORITE radio stations with each cup of my morning coffee every day!
When I showed them to Linda, she just rolled her eyes......obviously in awe of my brilliant artistry!!
Remembered for his many outstanding columns in "The Rambler" about the goings on at old Central High during the golden years, Warren Sparrow is STILL rambling.
When I first saw this picture I thought that Warren had reinlisted. Then, I realized that he was in the NAVY, not the airforce during the 60"s.
These photos of Warren and his wife Becky were taken at "Wings Over Wayne," an air show featuring the Blue Angels at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.
Keep "rambling" Warren. Some of us, like me, are just "shuffling."

82d Airborne Division Historical Society, Inc., PO BOX 70119
Fort Bragg, North Carolina 28307
Welcome to the 82d Airborne Division War Memorial Museum
The museum is dedicated to telling the history of the 82d Airborne Division from 1917 to the present. We are located on Fort Bragg, North Carolina in Building C-6841, 5108 Ardennes Street, 28310. Please see the 'Contact Us' Section for directions to the museum. Major General James M. Gavin began the concept of the museum in 1945, when the 82d Airborne Division received the honor of Occupation Duty in Berlin at the end of World War II. Inside the Division headquarters a trophy and news room held information about their war effort and the nation's victory.
In 1946, after the 82d Airborne Division returned to the states and started to call Fort Bragg home, the first museum began in one of the wooden office buildings in what is now called "the old Division area." At first, there was not much inside of the building, which was good. The first building is said to have caught fire and burned sometime during the early 1950s. As the Division grew in size, it moved to its current area of Fort Bragg. Through several building expansions and exhibit redesigns, we continue to tell the history of the 82d, share its customs and traditions, honor our Veterans, and support our military families.
From 1955 to 1958, new barracks, offices, warehouses and a headquarters building were constructed to house men and equipment. In early 1956, Major General Trapnell directed the formation of the 82d Airborne Division Historical Society and for the Division to plan for construction of a permanent museum. Veterans, local Fayetteville businesses and the 82d Association raised funds to build the museum. Chaplain George B. Wood, World War II Division Chaplain, presided over the ground breaking ceremony, August 1956. Paratroopers from each unit that fought with the 82d during World War II consecrated the grounds by striking the earth with a golden pick-axe at each corner where the building would stand, as Chaplain Wood read aloud each unit's total Killed in Action. The 82d Airborne Division War Memorial Museum is the second oldest U.S. Army museum and still resides in the same location. It was officially opened by General James M. Gavin, Major General John W. Bowen (CG) and Chaplain Wood on 18 January 1957.
In Air, On Land. Airborne.

What is a Sign War?
Sign wars are all in good fun. They're a way to get passersby a laugh or two, boost community morale, potentially bring in some more customers, and maybe even go viral. It all starts with one business with a letter sign calling out a neighboring business.
Currently, a sign war of epic proportions is happening in Christiansburg, Virginia. This one was started by a local music shop calling out Super Shoes. Then a Japanese restaurant, gas stations, and a church got involved! And the local businesses continue to grow and join in on the fun.
There's even a Facebook Group with over 20k members that you can join here to keep up with the ever-changing signs!
