Spelling funny
John Paul and Cecilia are both really into the Maisy books that we read at the library. They usually have other books listed on the backs of the books we check out, and John Paul decided that he REALLY wants to read "Maisy's ABC's" but we haven't been back to the library in a while...
Can't figure out how to rotate it... But it says "mazesabc"
So I heard him saying, "Maisy's ABC!!!" Over and over again, and I figured he was just reading the back of our current favorite book. Nope, he was convinced he had spelled it. Pretty close!

One year ago!
Almost exactly one year ago (I'm a few minutes late...), Cecilia was born! We celebrated her birthday at home with a pretty low-key "party."
Huge first birthday bashes are all the rage, I know, but I just don't feel like putting forth all that effort when I can't control how the kids actually act at the party... So for the next few birthdays at least, we'll continue just inviting family. We started off with present unwrapping, which John Paul helped with, of course!
The hats were our one "decoration" because I get a kick out of them.
Cecilia was REALLY excited when we all put them on and kept patting her head, so I put one on her. She immediately freaked out and started taking it off so she could chew on the tip.
Dollar Store balloons were, as always, a huge hit!
John Paul was quite excited about the balloons, too.
My favorite picture from today - Cecilia LOVES the reading nook!
Self-portrait!
Reading a new favorite book from John Paul's godfather.
I made cake pops because I figured they'd be less messy than cake. Cecilia was not sure how she felt about this...
But she ended up liking it!
And after a lunch of her favorite foods (turkey and cheese), what better way to end things?
As you can see, it was definitely not as messy as traditional cake! Unfortunately, it was also really not very tasty... Way too sweet for me!
Dad was exhausted, so she decided to climb all over him.
Happy Birthday to Cecilia! And happy Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas!

New Boots!
When trying on a new pair of boots, one must first test them by climbing the nearest object.
Then comes the crash test - do they stay on the feet when one tumbles off a footstool?
And now we ask the age-old question, does this diaper make my butt look big?
Ah, indeed, it seems that we must test the efficiency of the diaper padding as well.
And lastly, a modeling pose for the latest Baby Calvin Klein campaign.
Found the charger!
"HAH!" Said the baby, stealing her brother's PB&J and running toward the camera.
Top 10 Reasons NOT to teach your toddler to read
10. He will insist on reading every. single. street sign you see on the road. And house number. And store name.
Our car rides go something like this:
"NUMBER 32 HOUSE! NUMBER 34 HOUSE! NUMBER 36 HOUSE!!! ONWY ONWY ONWY! GIANT! CVS!" Etc. It gets old fast.
9. He will refuse to eat his dinner because he's too busy reading the placement.
Thinking it would be fun and would protect the table, Andrew got John Paul a solar system place mat. Problem is, he pushes his food away so the mat isn't blocked, and spends mealtimes reading about how many moons Mars has.
8. You will no longer be able to skip significant portions of books just because you don't feel like reading the entire thing.
If I skip, he knows. Not because he has memorized it, because he's reading along so that he can learn how to read every single new word. I've taken to hiding books that are too long or banning them from the bedroom because I can no longer skip several paragraphs or pages at a time.
7. You will no longer be able to spell forbidden words to avoid saying them.
"Should we give the kids any B-R-O --" "Brownies? I LOVE brownies!" My 3-year-old sister exclaimed.
6. You will have to hide every book that has any adult language.
Some friends gave us this book last summer with John Paul's other birthday presents.
We had a chuckle and put it away on an adult bookshelf for several months. John Paul found it AFTER he learned how to read. And sounded out the words. Needless to say, it has been hidden where even I can't find it.
5. You will have to hide any book that has even a remotely objectionable title.
Andrew was a European History major in college. John Paul has pulled many books off the bookshelf and read the titles to himself, some of which consisted of juxtapositions of the words death, Holocaust, Nazis, Jews, Hitler, etc... It's not *bad* but it leads to some awkward moments during play dates... "What did he just say???"
4. He will broadcast to the world what size top you are wearing at all times.
He's obsessed with clothing tags right now. Thankfully I'm fairly petite, but I can imagine how annoying this will be whenever we have the next baby and I'm still wearing maternity tops for several months afterwards... "Mom is wearing... Maternity XS!"
3. He will come up with his own obnoxious pronunciations that he KNOWS are wrong, and you will have to agree to prevent a temper tantrum.
I blame my mom for this one - she was reading a book to him about a knight and a castle and teaching him how you don't say the silent letters. Now he demands that we read about the "Ka-ny-guh-huh-t" and the "cas-TUHl." And we can't say good night anymore. Nope, it's "Good ny-guh-huh-t."
He whines about something and I sympathize saying, "I know, John Paul." Immediately he's up in arms. "I KA-NOW!"
2. He will be more annoying than ANY other child his age at Mass.
We finally got him to start staying in the pew for all of Mass about 90% of the time (aside from a potty break during the Homily). Problem is, as soon as we get there he immediately gets the laminated card for the Principal Parts of the Mass and starts reading them VERY loudly to everyone. At the wrong times. Saying the priest's part, too. And we ask him to whisper and he starts yelling, "SAY DE ACT OF PENITENCE??? I CON-fess to awMIGHTY God and TO you my bwuthers and sisters that I have GWEATWY SINNED!"
It was cute the first couple of weeks. It has gotten old.
1. No more napping.
John Paul's nap frequency has decreased in direct negative correlation with his reading skill. It used to be he would look at pictures in a couple of books and then get bored and decide to go to sleep. No longer. Normally I find him with a few books in bed that he read for a couple of hours while he should have been napping. I have found him with as many as TWENTY SEVEN books in bed. He just lies in bed at reads. For HOURS. And he's perfectly happy, but the lack of sleep has really been taking its toll on his behavior.
If only we could go back to the days of blissful ignorance before he decided it was absolutely necessary to learn how to read...

Oh, the sweetness!
Really wish I knew where the camera charger was...
John Paul has dressed himself in a shirt, underwear, socks, sneakers, and his puffy coat. No pants. Hood up. And he's been playing like that for the past half hour.
But that's not all! He and Cecilia are currently snuggled together in their reading nook (a corner of the room stuffed with pillows) curled up under a blanket, reading books. He stops every couple of seconds to give her a hug and kiss.
So. Adorable.

John Paul found my nursing cover in a pile of things we hadn't been using and decided to put it on. Then he wanted something to nurse... So he happily got the baby doll out of the toybox and held it up to his bellybutton under the nursing cover for a little while. He turned around and said, "Nurse? Ceciwia?" I told him no, Cecilia can't nurse from him because he can't be a mom, but maybe he'll be a dad someday.
So we talked about the things daddies do for their babies - he decided that he would like to give the baby a bath, just like Dad. So I told him to take the baby to the sink in his toy kitchen.
Let's just say, it's a good thing he's not going to be a father anytime soon!
First he shoved the baby's face under the faucet and pretended to pour water on the baby's head for a while (baby has no name, by the way). Then he needed soap, so I gave him some pretend soap (made out of air...). He took it and rubbed it all over the baby's face, then smushed the baby so that its whole body was in the toy sink. Then he ran to the middle of the room, lay down on the floor, and closed his eyes for a few seconds before going back to get the baby out of the sink.
Thank goodness that's not how bathtime works!

Potty mouth...
Okay, before my adoring public (oh wait, my mom and sister...) gets annoyed at the lack of posts, I have to let you know that the camera battery is dead and we don't know where the charger is. So the posts will be a lot less fun for a while because they'll mostly be text-only. And let's face it, you probably just skim the text and read the captions under the pictures, like me!
So John Paul has been potty trained (not counting naptime and nighttime, which are not even short-term goals right now...) for almost 2 weeks now - we've been going out with just underwear and haven't had a single accident (knock on wood!)! He is VERY pleased about this - he loves his "cool" underwear and he REALLY loves using the potty in new places. That's honestly his favorite thing about leaving the house now.
Yup. Potties. We tell him where we're going and he immediately starts talking about the potty they'll have there. Then he starts talking about ALL the potties he's used. "Nature center potty! Waymond (St. Raymond - they're on a first-name basis) potty! Howwy Spiwit potty! Store potty! Westauwant potty!!!" Etc. We went to a one-hour concert at school and he used the bathroom three times. But hey, it's better to be over-enthusiastic than a pants-wetter, right?
One of the nice things about him being potty trained is that he poops a lot less often (this paragraph is about flatulence and feces - skip ahead if you're eating!). The not-so-nice thing is that he's REALLY gassy because he's holding it in. And the gas smells like poop. So for about an hour before he poops he smells like he pooped in his pants. And I'm constantly checking to see if he did, but no, he didn't. Not even once. He just has NASTY farts. But since he's pretty much continuously vile-smelling, I can blame any of MY gas on him :P
He is also VERY excited every time he uses the potty at home. For a while I had to remind him to use the potty, but now he's almost entirely self-guided. Problem is, as soon as he gets the urge, he drops his pants. WHEREVER he is in the house. And then waddles over to the potty, pants around his ankles, pants and underwear often falling off as he crawls up the stairs to get to the potty.
Since I can't take pictures, here's what you can imagine it looks like...
But then he's SO excited when he's all done - "A BIG bit of pee!" or "Just a wittle bit of pee." or "I pooped AND peed!" or "Just a wittle turd." or (my personal favorite) "You did NOT have a wittle turd!" For some reason he can only refer to himself in the first person when he manages to poop.
And he's excited to tell everyone he knows that he wears underwear now. He spent a good portion of Mass last Sunday saying, "You're weawing UNderwear!" Which I'm sure prompted many of the ladies around us to check and make sure their skirts were properly adjusted... Of course, he's also very excited about anything that happens while he's wearing underwear. "You farted in your underwear," he says, matter-of-factly. I promise, that time it really wasn't me... Or "You did NOT pee in your underwear!"
And that's a (almost) 2.5-year-old giving you his perspective on being potty trained. You can tell our lives are exciting!

Hidden Pond
Not gonna lie, I thought John Paul was likely to jump into the pond when he begged us to let him out of the stroller so he could "climb."
But he was perfectly content throwing dead leaves into the water and watching them float away.
And, of course, posing for cheesy pictures with Mom!
But how much longer am I really going to be able to make him dress like this? Gotta get the pictures while I can...
And gotta take advantage of the beautiful "January" weather we've been having! Sure it snowed on Monday, but this weekend was gorgeous!

Piano time
Cecilia and Dad start out having a fun time together while John Paul plays next to the piano.
But someone just can't be left out of the fun!
So we make it a trio, rather than a duet...
And then the third runs off to do her own thing.

Reading to TWO
Cecilia brings me her book of choice: "The Saving Name of God the Son" (it's a children's book, I promise...). She climbs into my lap and I start reading...
Lap count: 1 child
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word - who was with God and who was God - "
John Paul comes over, interested... He leans against my side as I continue reading...
"became flesh..."
I turn the page, pulling John Paul onto the other half of my lap.
Lap count: 2 children
"and dwelt among us. The Son of Man come down from heaven, to serve and to give his life..."
Cecilia starts climbing off my lap, cheese slice in hand. John Paul moves over so that he's sitting right in the middle.
"as a random for many. For in him was life and the life was the Light of men: a Light to the Nations shining..."
Cecilia's cheese is crumbling on the floor and she circles around me, trying to get back into my lap. John Paul objects to me turning the pages and rips the book out of my hand.
"a Light to the Nations shining..."
Cecilia steals the book back and John Paul is distracted by the cheese crumbles on the floor.
Lap count: 1 child.
"in the darkness. Behold, he is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Anointed by the Spirit..."
"He is the Beloved Son, calling the Bride to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb; giving to her the most previous gift, his Body and Blood,"
John Paul turns back to the previous page. "Thaaaaaaat's?" he asks obnoxiously. "That's a picture of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus." "BATHtize? WONG! BAPtize is a word. BATHtize is NOT a word."
"sacrificed... on the wood of the cross: Our Lord Jesus Christ!"
"AND they HIT him! And they KIWWED HIM!!!"
Cecilia rips the book away and skips several pages, then demands to nurse. She nurses for a few seconds and then walks away, done with nursing and also with reading. John Paul takes the book away and reads it to himself on the floor. Apparently I am unnecessary.
Lap count: 0 children.

Wasn't it yesterday that they were small?
Well, Cecilia's still pretty small... But when did John Paul turn into such a big kid???
He was VERY excited about his "cool" new 3T outfit from the consignment store. Everything "cool" is REALLY good, so he's willing to wearing underwear instead of diapers now because underwear is "cool" and diapers are not. Although it's tricky keeping his pants up now...
Look at how long and lean he's gotten!
I'm thankful that he's totally okay with Cecilia following him around and trying to do everything he does. He was eating part of a cookie after a successful potty trip and Cecilia came toddling over with her arms outstretched. I asked him to share a little piece with her and he immediately broke off a bit and handed it to her. No fussing at all, just straight-up sharing!
And then of course, there's the fact that last night in the car he asked me to turn off the music so we could pray the rosary together. And he did his half of almost every prayer! He even barrelled right on through the Fatima Prayer on his own without me to prompt him. We've got a rosary CD in the mail from Aunt Sister, and I have a feeling that'll be on loop for quite a while...

Are you still celebrating?
The Christmas tree is still up. There are at least 5 nativity scenes scattered throughout the house. But sometimes it still takes that little toddler voice piping up at dinner...
"Baby Jesus is BORN! He's in da MANGER! Mawwy was pwegnant and now Baby Jesus is BORN!!!"
I'm thankful for faith like a child, especially when we start seeing the trees by the curb and the Christmas lights taken down when it's not even Epiphany.
Why is it that society tells us we must spend the entire month of December (and much of November) celebrating Christmas, but the moment it becomes appropriate to do so, everything is thrown in the trash? Just because we're done buying presents doesn't mean we're done celebrating!

Our New Year's Eve
It was BEAUTIFUL weather here on the last day of 2011, so we decided to head out to Gravelly Point to watch planes take off at National. John Paul was SO EXCITED!
On the car ride there he very excitedly exclaimed, "BIRDS! And the MOON! And an AIRPWANE! And ANOTHER MOON!" We explained that there's only one moon... He got the hang of it quickly.
Dad pointed out the types of planes that were taking off. John Paul didn't really care about different types - he mostly just shouted, "Seagulls! And the moon! Airpwane! And more seagulls!"
He was VERY excited by the water as well - "I see da WATER! I see da WIVER!"
The planes landing weren't quite so exciting, but our reward for sticking around for a few landings was a view of a BOAT in the water, as well as some ducks. What could be more exciting?
Running in the grass, of course!
I don't think there's any airport in the US that has a more beautiful view during takeoff and landing, particularly during sunset.
We'll definitely have to get back here when it warms up, John Paul had such a blast and I bet Cecilia will be excited come spring.
This was the biggest plane we saw and it flew right over our heads.
Cecilia had to make sure to CLING to me - it was pretty noisy!
There were TONS of people there. We'd never been before, but apparently it's a pretty popular attraction even though there's nothing to do except watch the planes.

To the father of this little hoarder...
And this little daredevil...
Oh, and to my wonderful husband!
John Paul is VERY excited that "DAD IS TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS OLD! AND NEXT HE WILL BE TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS OLD!" Andrew feels weird to be in his late twenties. Cecilia doesn't care. I look forward to April, when I'm only a year younger again :P

A box!
A simple afternoon foray...
Into a box!
With a celery stick and an empty milk jug.
What could be better?


In 1981 Konami released Scramble. A little like Image Fight a lot of my money went into this machine. Never got to finish it back then. Roll forward 35 years and after building my own cabinet, installing MAME, finishing the Metal Slug series and then Image Fight I set my sights on Scramble.
As you can see from the video I finally managed it. It was my last life, I was running out of fuel but boom. Got it.


Looking for predictions, analysis, and news on your Duke Blue Devils? Look no further, we've got you covered here at NCCollegeSports.com!
After having two great back to back years in 2013 and 2014 a question has arrived in Durham that will soon be answered: Is Duke football rebuilt or was it just a phenomenal class of 2014? After winning a division title and falling just short in 2014, there are lots of reasons for optimism around Duke football, but still kinks to be worked out now that the likes of Jamison Crowder and Anthony Boone gone.
Boone and Crowder pushed the Duke offense to previously unseen heights. While the defense, and more specifically the defensive line, was inconsistent last year, the offense always seemed to keep the Blue Devils a chance by finding ways to put points on the board. The Boone Crowder tandem connected for a total of 86 receptions. Similarly, despite taking a step back from his junior campaign Boone still totaled 2,700 yards through the air and 19 touchdowns coupled with 5 touchdowns and 466 yards on the ground.
On the other hand, Duke holds on to its leading rusher Shaquille Powell who shared the load with quarterback Anthony Boone and others last season. Powell rushed for 618 yards on 134 carries to go along with two touchdowns and no fumbles. For this reason, Duke fans can expect to see an increased trust placed in Powell with the passing game experiencing a few adjustments to new started Thomas Sirk. Sirk, a junior, should have a relatively smooth transition to the starting job after seeing a few opportunities to get his feet wet in the offense last season. The bigger problem for the offense will possibly be finding a way to replace multi-threat wide out, Jamison Crowder.
On the other side of the ball there are few things more reliable heading into the 2015 campaign than the Blue Devil secondary lead by returning safeties DeVon Edwards and Jeremy Cash. Meanwhile, the defensive line has multiple issues to address from last year after struggling time after time again to put any kind of halt to running attacks.
If Duke can easily transition into a new starting quarterback and get its receiving core up to speed after losing its top two threats from last year Duke can expect to be competitive week in and week out within the ACC.
Duke has several difficult opponents throughout the ACC including North Carolina, Georgia Tech, and Virginia Tech. A lot will ride on how Duke handles the transition away from last year's senior class. Nonetheless, there will without a doubt be bumps in the road for this Blue Devil team.
A variety of adjustment to Duke's bread and butter in previous years, the aerial attack, will result in some ones against the likes of Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech, but expect Duke football to prove they are in fact rebuilt as a program. Duke will finish the regular season 9-3.
Duke finished its non-conference games on New Year's Eve with a win against Wofford and now looks ahead to ACC play starting January 3rd at home against Boston College. To this point Duke has far exceeded the expectations bestowed on them at in October. Duke's group of freshman has lived up to their ranking as the top recruiting class in the country entering this season. Led by the duo of Jahlil Okafor and Tyus Jones this freshman class has handled everything thrown at them. Okafor, whom entering the season was touted by ESPN and others the best freshman in the country, has proven to be as talented as any other big man to call Cameron Indoor home in Coach K's tenure. Okafor leads the team in scoring with 18.3 points per game and rebounding with 8.8 rebounds per game, meanwhile, dominating every one on one matchup he has faced this season. Also, the point guard duo of senior Quinn Cook and freshman Tyus Jones has been lethal in leading the Duke offensive attack.
Duke's biggest non-conference games to this point include Michigan State, at a neutral site, and Wisconsin, on the road in Madison. The Blue Devils will go on the road one last time for a non-conference game on January 25th to play #15 St. Johns.
First off, the single most significant takeaway from Duke's non-conference play is how well this year's team has come to play together. Between the leadership on the court of Quinn Cook and Amile Jefferson and the potential of freshmen such as Jahlil Okafor and Justise Winslow every player knows their role extremely well. Although the team as a whole might lean heavily on Okafor's play, defensively and offensively, in the post no player oversteps the boundaries of their role and tries to do too much. In addition, this Duke team is as unselfish as any in recent years, always making the extra pass to find the open man. What really allows for this is the fact that those receiving the most playing team in the rotation are all extremely talented individually. As a result Coach K and his players can trust that whomever it is that has an open look at the basket is more than capable to take a shot opposed to last year where Duke's chances of winning a game rested on Jabari Parker's ability to single handedly carry the team.
Also, a major factor in Duke's high level of play so far is how fast this group of freshmen has adapted to the college level. Heading into the Wisconsin game many believed Duke's freshmen would not be able to handle the intensity of an away game at the Kohl Center and that they did not have the experience necessary to play at the same level of Wisconsin, then ranked second in the country. Although the young Blue Devils took control of the game almost from tip-off and defeated the Badgers 80-70 while Quinn Cook contributed twenty-two points, six rebounds, and four assists. Since this victory Duke has held the number two ranking in the AP and USA Today polls.
The players that have really jumped off the page to this point have been senior point guard Quinn Cook and freshman center Jahlil Okafor. Since Cook arrived in Durham as a freshman his potential at the point guard position has been more than evident as he has steadily progressed over the past three years. Yet Cook took the biggest of those steps entering this season as he was named co-captain with his fellow upper classmen Amile Jefferson. So far this season Cook has looked as good as any other point guard in the nation between his career high statistics and his leadership on and off the floor. Cook has set the tone for Duke by controlling the game's tempo tremendously along with initiating Duke's unselfish play on offense. Despite the talent of Duke's freshmen at the core of Duke's success is Quinn Cook's leadership and basketball IQ.
All in all, although Duke is yet to lose a game there are still some concerns as the head into ACC play and the most difficult part of their schedule. The first and foremost of these is Duke's short bench and a specific lack of depth at the positions of power forward and center. With the exception of Jahlil Okafor and Amile Jefferson the only other big man that has received significant playing time is Marshall Plumlee, although nobody can get too excited over his averages of 3.0 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. Even though Coach K normally shortens his rotation in conference play he does not have much to shorten as he already has a rotation of seven to eight players with really only a core group of six players getting the bulk of the playing time. Also, given how much Duke relies on Okafor to pose a threat offensively and to anchor down the defense in the paint, if he were to get into foul trouble Duke's chances against a formidable opponent could diminish juristically.
Another big issue Duke will likely be forced to deal with is rebounding. Out of Duke's average of 25.7 rebounds per game 17.2 of which, on average, come from Jahlil Okafor and Amile Jefferson. The team's third best rebounder, statistically, is freshman Justise Winslow who averages 4.5 rebounds per game. Although Winslow has been successful thus far playing on wing and it is safe to assume he will not be asked to bang with the big men down low. If Duke is going to go all the way at some point they will be forced to look towards Plumlee and hope he can provide significant assistance on the boards to lighten the burden currently concentrated on Okafor and Jefferson.
Duke football once again proved this year that they are here to stay as they closed the year on going to their third straight bowl game led by David Cutcliffe. Duke also won nine games in back to back years for the first time in school history. The Blue Devils came up just short, losing 36-31 to Arizona State in the Hyundai Sun Bowl. Besides the great leadership of coach David Cutcliffe much of this team's success can be attributed to Duke's strong group of experienced and talented offensive personnel.
Duke's offensive attack was led by senior quarterback Anthony Boone. Boone was named starting quarterback for the second year in a row at the season's start and did an exceptional job controlling the offensive tempo and spreading the ball around. Boone closed the season with 2700 yards and 19 touchdowns compared to his junior year in which he totaled 2260 yards and just 13 touchdowns. Coming into the season Boone was ranked as the 10th best quarterback prospect looking ahead to the 2015 draft, although with Boone's completion percentage falling to 56.3% this season we likely won't see him suiting up on Sundays. Nonetheless, even though Boone did not have the season he probably hoped for there is no doubt that he was as integral to the team's success as anybody else. In addition, Boone closed his college career as part of the winningest class in Duke history.
The wide out that received most of Boone's and the opposing defense's attention was senior Jamison Crowder. Crowder cemented his legacy like none other in his career at Duke. With Crowder's last reception in the Sun Bowl he tied former Duke teammate Conner Vernon atop the all-time ACC receptions list. Crowder also finished the season with 85 receptions, 1044 yards and 6 touchdowns.
Also, highly critical in Duke's offensive success was the run game and offensive line anchored by first team All-American Laken Tomlinson. Tomlinson was a four year starter at Duke and led an offensive line that allowed only 13 sacks all year. Tomlinson will likely be drafted higher than any other Duke player in recent years. Most of Duke's running attack was split between junior Shaquille Powell and freshman Shaun Wilson. Powell was the most productive between the two, rushing for 618 yards on 134 attempts with two touchdowns while Wilson showed a lot of potential by rushing for 598 yards on 78 attempts for five touchdowns. Between the duel threat at running back position along with at quarterback Duke was able to rush for 181.8 yards per game, the best since 2003.
Although Duke loses several key players, in looking ahead to next year, they will still have a strong group of returning players at a multitude of positions. A few receiver slots along with the quarterback position will be up for grabs as the possibility of a transfer looms to compete with current backup quarterback Thomas Sirk. Four running backs including Powell and Wilson will compete for carries while Duke also returns three offensive linemen. Expect Duke to compete once again next year atop the ACC.
This game, put simply, will come down to the battle in the frontcourt between Jahlil Okafor and Frank Kaminsky. Okafor has proven that he can handle the college level as well as anyone and already has scouts drooling over his NBA potential. Duke has not had a big man anywhere close to Okafor's talent since Elton Brand was in Durham and for that reason Coach K has been certain to exploit the talent of his top recruit to the fullest. Along with providing an offensive force Duke has lacked in the recent past Jahlil Okafor serves as a rim protector on the defensive end, helping Duke's defense improve immensely from last year in which Duke had no true defensive big men. Duke was 128th in defensive efficiency last year while this year they rank 21st. This year's team has put the D back in Duke.
Wisconsin is equally impressive on defense averaging 50.1 points per game, 6th fewest in country. Although Wisconsin does not have young talent like that of their ACC counterpart they still return four of five starters, led by senior Frank Kaminsky. After defeating Oklahoma in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament over the weekend Kaminsky was named MVP. Also, Kaminsky leads the Badgers in points, blocks, rebounds, and steals. The senior seven-footer jumped onto the scene last year in Wisconsin's Final Four run where Kaminsky proved to be a match-up nightmare through his crafty defense and rebounding and inside-out scoring ability.
Furthermore, despite most of Duke's players having less than a month of college basketball experience they move the ball extremely well lead by their point guard duo of Tyus Jones, a freshman, and Quinn Cook, a senior. Jones leads the team with 6.0 assists per game while Cook follows close behind with 4.0. As a result, Duke has the ability to not just score, but give one of their multiple talented players the ball in a position on the floor where they can be most effective. For that reason, Duke should be able to handle Wisconsin's defense just as good if not better than other team has to this point this season.
In addition, while Wisconsin relies heavily on Kaminsky they have other able weapons in Nigel Hayes and Duje Dukan. Both have shown the ability to shoot and make the three ball this year. Hayes, 6-7, and Dukan, 6-9, also combine for an average of 12.1 rebounds a game to go along with Kaminsky's 8.7. While Duke does have talent they have yet to face a team as versatile and with as much size as this Badger squad.
All in all, as tip-off approaches there is no doubt this game is as good as any to this point this year and that there will be a tournament atmosphere in Madison Wednesday night. Duke holds a 13-2 record all-time in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. One of which came to Wisconsin back in 2009, the same season as Duke's last national title.
Everyone knows Jahlil Okafor and Frank Kaminsky will play big roles. Although guys like Quinn Cook and Amile Jefferson, the two captains, will be the ones who turn the tide of this game. Duke fans have seen Cook's potential throughout his first three years at Duke, but this year Cook seems to have found himself like never before. Like all coaches want to see out of their seniors Cook just looks like he been there before no matter the situation and as though he always knows what he is doing. Cook is playing extremely smart, making good decisions with the ball while still knowing when to look for his shot(Not to mention its going in, shooting 50%, 43% from three, and averaging 15.6 points per game). On the other hand, Jefferson has been dominant on the boards with 8.9 rebounds per game. Expect Jefferson to counter much of Wisconsin's attack on the glass while being able to match defensively the height and length of guys like Nigel Hayes.
As both Michigan State and Duke face their first top 25 opponent this year major questions will be answered for both teams. For Duke, can they prove to have the defensive presence expected of great Duke teams that was absent last year? For Michigan State, with Keith Appling and Adreian Payne gone who will step as a play-maker and leader offensively? The important thing for both teams is to not let preseason rankings get to their heads since neither team has played anybody legitimate yet. Both teams are led by two of the better coaches in college basketball if not the best. No matter what number is next whose name tonight fans can expect a competitive game between two of the best basketball minds in the game today. To this point it is obvious to Duke fans everywhere that they are loaded with talent and potential at every spot on the floor. From the get-go Jahlil Okafor has jumped off the page leading the team offensively, providing a weapon Cameron Crazy Nation is used to having. Also, the contributions of guys like Rasheed Sulaimon and Quinn Cook have helped substantially. If Duke is going to take home a W tonight they will need to prove on the national stage that they can play strong defense in the post and on the perimeter as well as receive equal contributions from their talented freshmen and experienced upperclassmen. Also, if Michigan State is going to put up a fight against this skilled Duke squad returning players like Travis Trice and Brandon Dawson will have to do damage on both sides of the floor.
Duke has too much talent for this Michigan State team which is very unsure of what their identity will be. Although they have only been faced with week opponents thus far Duke appears to have the ability to score in a variety of ways, causing many match-up problems for Michigan State.
The Blue Devils (7-1, 3-1 ACC) were able to squeak out a close one this weekend 51-48 in double overtime over the Pittsburgh Panthers (4-5, 2-3 ACC). Duke proved their ability to come through under pressure yet again as they won their seventh straight game decided by a touchdown or less. Given the potent offense of each team it was assumed whoever could stop the other would win, but neither decided to bring their defense to Heinz Field this Saturday. With the exception of slow third quarter this game was a shoot-out from the beginning. Both teams put up a total of 56 points in the first half and 99 when Duke scored the game-winner in the second overtime.
After constant back and forth throughout regulation Pittsburgh had a chance to win it at the end of regulation. Although, put simply Chris Blewitt blew it for the Panthers and helped the rapidly maturing Duke Blue Devils stay atop the Coastal Division. After driving deep into Duke territory with the clock winding down the Panthers were able to set up Blewitt with a 26-yard field goal attempt with two seconds left. David Cutcliffe being the football strategist that he is called two timeouts in hopes of icing the kicker and he did not disappoint, hooking it far left.
Even though Duke took home the victory the player that should receive the most attention is easily running back James Conner. Conner ran for a career high 263 yards on 38 carries culminating in three touchdowns. Similarly Duke quarterback, Anthony Boone, and wide receiver, Jamison Crowder, were the main proponents leading this Duke team to victory. Anthony Boone led the game in passing going for 266 yards and three touchdowns on 23/31 throwing the ball. Boone is now 17-3 starting at quarterback for Duke tying Jerry Barger for most wins by a quarterback in school history. Meanwhile, Crowder moved to second all-time in receptions in ACC history after passing Sammy Watkins on Saturday going for 165 yards on nine catches for two touchdowns.
Despite Duke's high level of play on offense they still needed some luck to pull this one out. Also, as Duke heads down the home stretch of the season, hopefully winding them up in the ACC championship game, there are still some important questions that need to be answered to go along with several significant takeaways in focusing on this game. First off, Duke may have been ranked fourth in the FBS in points allowed going into this game, but looked nothing close to it in Pittsburgh this Saturday. If Duke is going to be "for real" this year as many Duke fans hope just by looking at the wins column to this point they will need to step up their ability to slow down the run(i.e. allowing fewer than 358 yards). It is apparent that Duke has the maturity on offense that they have lacked in the past that has stopped them from taking that next step. Duke reached the ACC Championship game last year just to be soundly defeated by Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston and company and it appears we will likely see a rematch again this year. Although if Duke is going to compete at that level they will not be able to solely rely on Anthony Boone and Duke's well-rounded offense, but on a trustworthy defense as well. Nonetheless, in continuing to look at the big picture Duke maintained its position atop the Coastal Conference and moved up to #22 in the AP Top 25 rankings as head into their last four regular season games, all of which are very winnable.
After beating Virginia two weeks ago Duke became bowl game eligible once again. Although as Duke rolls into the Steel City this weekend that will be a distant thought as they find themselves in a similar spot to where they were last year at this time. Duke has much larger goals on their mind this week as they now sit atop the Coastal Conference standings, where they finished last regular season before losing a rough one against Florida State in the ACC championship game. If there is one conclusion that can be made from all this it's that Duke with David Cutcliffe leading the charge is no fluke. But with David Cutcliffe at the helm there is one team Duke is yet to beat in the Coastal --- Pittsburgh.
Put simply this game will come down to stopping the running attack for both defenses. Duke and Pittsburgh both rank at the top of the ACC in rushing, Duke averages 218.0 yards per game while Pittsburgh leads the ACC with 233.9 yards per game.
Duke's front seven can expect to have their hands full with Pitt's superb backfield led by James Conner. Despite letting Georgia Tech hang a 56-28 victory Pitt can at the minimum hold some confidence in their running game. James Conner has been at the forefront of the attack to this point this season, putting up 120 rushing yards on 10 carries culminating in three touchdowns. Meanwhile, fellow sophomore running back Rachid Ibrahim can expect to get a few opportunities after going for 60 rushing yards on 3 carries in which one of the carries led to a 50 yard pick up. Faced with the challenge of Duke's highly ranked defense one can expect Pitt to try and keep Duke's defense as uncertain possible and give Ibrahim some significant chances. Additionally, Pitt's attack through the air has a chance to have an impact if they can get they can be just as effective on the ground. Starting for Pitt at quarterback this year has been Chad Voytik who has shown to be as unpredictable as the 4-4 team he plays for. Despite throwing for 9 touchdowns Voytik has tossed an interception in six of his team's eight games giving uncertainty as to what can be expected this week.
Stemming from the other sideline will be a nearly equally potent ground attack. In addition, to Duke's array of running backs, Josh Snead, Shaquille Powell, and Shaun Wilson, Duke's quarterback, Anthony Boone, has proven to pose as a running threat to opposing defenses in his time behind center for the Blue Devils. Nonetheless, behind Boone's leadership on offense Duke can expect to perhaps find its avenue to victory this weekend. To this point Boone has a total of 9 touchdowns while throwing just 3 interceptions. Two weeks ago at home against Virginia Boone threw for an efficient 176 yards on 22/37 while effectively averaging eight yards per carry on the ground. Additionally expect Duke to counter its aerial attack with contributions from all three of Duke's leading rushers. Throughout the season to this point each of the three have played significant roles making it hard to tell who will be seen most in the backfield in this game despite Powell seeing the most success two weeks ago with 68 yards on 11 carries. Though one thing can be certain and that is that coming off a bye week Duke can be expected to have game plan devised to maximize the talent they have at the running back position.
As previously stated this game will come down to defense and slowing each team's running game for which case the upper-hand has to be given to Duke, ranking 4th in the FBS to this point in points allowed. Although before giving up 56 to Georgia Tech last Saturday Pittsburgh was yet to allow more than 20 to anybody in a single game. Either way a player to keep an eye on this side of the ball is Duke junior safety Jeremy Cash who was a second team All-American last season and may be even better this fall. Cash has two interceptions to go with one fumble recovery and 1.5 sacks. Expect Cash to be flying around Heinz Field tomorrow disrupting the already inconsistent passing attack of Chad Voytik.
Duke will focus students back on football after the bye and force them to keep an eye on football as Cameron Crazy season in Krzyzewskiville inches closer by the minute. Duke will definitely be tested as they go on the road up north to Pittsburgh this Saturday but expect them to take control early. Duke has too many weapons offensively not to mention wide receiver Jamison Crowder who is three catches away from passing Sammy Watkins for second most catches all-time in the ACC. Expect Pitt to gain traction in its ground game at home (125+ yards) but will not be enough to turn the tides of the game.

Development is regenerating former library site in Harrow
« Back to News & Events | 16 February 2017 | News
The vacant former Harrow library site is being regenerated to create a development of 355 new homes.
Fairview New Homes has started work on the 1.31-hectare site off Gayton Road, which was previously home to the library, an apartment building and a car park.
The development will include a mix of studio, 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments and will be named Lexicon, in recognition of the land's former use.
Jim Holliday, Sales and Marketing Director for Fairview, said: "As a company, we have extensive experience of redeveloping brownfield sites, and we are proud to have the opportunity to redevelop this site in Harrow.
"Lexicon will bring much-needed new housing to the area, and we will be building homes in a range of sizes to cater to the needs of various buyers.
"Our carefully-designed scheme will create contemporary apartment buildings which will be a quality addition to the character of Gayton Road.
"We have just released our first apartments for sale, and we look forward to welcoming our first residents to their homes at Lexicon in summer next year."
Fairview will make payments totalling £5.35m under the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) as part of the development of Lexicon. CIL payments are spent on delivering infrastructure to support new developments.
Fairview will contribute a further £355,475 under the Section 106 planning agreement for Lexicon, which will include payments towards employment and training and public art.

Q: require.js with inline js I'm working on a web app that uses require.js. I'm quite new to both the app and requirejs and was wondering what the best solution might be for a problem I've run into. We have been loading third-party user analytics / tracking libraries with script tags in PHP include files. We don't use requirejs for these, because php is setting some js runtime values.
Here's an example of one such block:
<script src="//js.revsci.net/gateway/gw.js?csid=A08723"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    <?php
        global $base_url;
        $host = parse_url( $base_url, PHP_URL_HOST );
    ?>
    if( typeof DM_cat != 'undefined' ) {
        DM_cat('Track');
        DM_tag();
    }
</script>

Now I agree, it's not ideal to combine js and php like this, but all the analytics code is written this way and there's a lot of it. I don't have time (or knowledge) to refactor it all the requirejs way, so I'm stuck with this structure for the time being. Now I've been asked to make these third-party scripts either 'async' or 'defer'. I'd prefer async if possible, but either would be an acceptable solution. So I want to change this:
<script src="//js.revsci.net/gateway/gw.js?csid=A08723"></script>

to this:
<script src="//js.revsci.net/gateway/gw.js?csid=A08723" defer></script>

My question is, how can I use Require to load the third-party script and prevent the inline javascript block from being executed until the script is loaded? From the code I've tried to write, I keep getting a "Mismatched anonymous define() module" error. I've read up on the error, but I can't make sense of it. Even if I paste in a basic example, I keep getting that error. For example, I can't even get this test code to work:
define(["testcode"], function(testcode){
  window.foo = "bar";
});

define(["foo"], function(){
  alert(window.foo);  // "bar"
});

Error message:
Uncaught Error: Mismatched anonymous define() module: function
(testcode){   window.foo = "bar"; }

I don't understand this error, can anyone help to point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

A: Late to the party, but this error is caused by having 2 define statements in a single file without naming them. This is necessary to distinguish the two modules you are declaring in a single file. You need to add a name parameter like this:
define('Name1', ["testcode"], function(testcode){
  window.foo = "bar";
});

define('Name2', ["foo"], function(){
  alert(window.foo);  // "bar"
});

See these two:
- Documentation
- Related Stackoverflow Article

A: nopuck4you suggests that you add the module name as the first argument of the define call. If these modules are created inside of a <script> tag right inside your HTML, then that's okay. This is one of the rare exceptions where you can put a module name as the first argument of define. Actually, in this kind of situation you have to name the modules otherwise RequireJS cannot find them. So you'd have:
<script>
define("foo", ["testcode"], function(testcode){
  window.foo = "bar";
});

define("test", ["foo"], function(){
  alert(window.foo);  // "bar"
});
</script>

(I've assumed that the 2nd module depends on the 1st and named things accordingly. I don't know what the testcode thing is so I left it as is.)
However, in general, you should not give names to modules by putting the name in the define call. The RequireJS documentation is quite clear about this. If you do name your modules in the define, this may cause issues down the road due to the way RequireJS works. Things will not work, or they won't work unless you work around the problem. For instance, if you put modules foo and bar in foo.js and put their names as the first argument of define, RequireJS won't have any trouble figuring that module foo is in foo.js but it won't know right off the bat that bar is also in foo.js. Depending in which order you load your modules, you might have to have additional configuration telling RequireJS that bar is in foo.js.
Putting the names of your modules in the define calls just leads to failures, surprises, complications, etc. Don't do it. Leave the name out and let RequireJS figure it out. Then, when you optimize, let r.js put the names in.
Note: you may have seen some code from 3rd parties that have the module names put right into the define. jQuery is a prominent case. There are exceptions to what I said above but if you cannot articulate a substantial reason why you need to put the name in, then you don't need to do it. (In fact, looking at the jQuery case, I don't see a good reason to put the name in the define there and in my opinion they made a mistake.)

SRJC Ice Hockey Team End First Month on High Note
Losing four-straight games was not what the SRJC Hockey team had in mind when it began the 2016-17 season. But after a grueling string of losses in early October that was the reality. It wasn't until back-to-back home games to close out the month did the Polar Bears right the ship and put a check in the win column.
SRJC's first road trip of the year left everyone scratching their heads after the team went winless over the three-game weekend.
The first game against new Pacific Collegiate Hockey Association opponent UC Santa Barbara had few positives—the biggest being SRJC's refusal to back down from a fight; both literally and figuratively.
we can get there."
After being down for most of the game, SRJC rebounded with four-straight goals. Only a penalty at the end that developed into a two-on-one for UCSB's go-ahead goal kept the Polar Bears from the comeback.
"The first game against UC Santa Barbara was tough. We really didn't know what to expect with a team we've never seen before. We had trouble getting going but we eventually got our grove and started playing real SRJC hockey," said Captain Josiah Nikkel. "We had a wear and tear on UCSB in the third period. It could have went either way."
He continued, "Being down a few goals and then making a team-effort to tie the game with just a few minutes left put us in a good place. There's a big take away: we realized we can come back from just about anything."
The only thing SRJC couldn't come back from was alternate captain David Lundgren's barrage of penalties. He and UCSB's Christian Okpysh each received four penalties, including ejections for fighting that came with game suspensions.
Without Lundgren for the rest of the weekend, and the absences of top forwards Lane Beliveau and Evan Hastings, SRJC entered the final two games at a huge disadvantage.
"The next two games really showed how undisciplined we were. We had a lot of penalties and couldn't stay out of the box," Nikkel said. "We got up on Long Beach, but the penalties were too much to kill off."
A 9-5 loss to CSU Long Beach and a crippling 11-4 heartbreak to UCSB sealed the weekend's fate.
The Polar Bears' woes continued as they lost 4-1 to longtime nemesis San Jose State University Oct. 21.
Despite an amazing performance by rookie goaltender Matthew Colgrove, who saved 50 of 54 shots on goal, SRJC couldn't overcome its first period troubles that included only having 10 players to start the game.
The problems several players communicated early on — shifted lines, lack of execution, undeveloped chemistry— seemed like distant memories the next day. In front of their boisterous fans, the Polar Bears beat SJSU 7-4.
John Keshishian led the charge with a hat trick and an assist. Four other players— Larry Hansen, Max Brownlee, Nikkel and Hastings—netted goals to go along with excellent goaltending by rookie Steven Morton.
"Every time we play San Jose, to me that is the biggest rivalry game that I get to play. It's always one I mentally prepare harder for. It gives me an extra edge; makes me want to work harder every single shift," said Keshishian, who has excellent career numbers against SJSU. "I know that every time I play against San Jose State it takes a lot more effort, a lot more preparation."
The victory marked SRJC's seventh-straight home opening night victory, and the first not coming against UC Berkeley.
SRJC kept it rolling the next weekend as it took on Santa Clara University. It was deadlocked 0-0 through the first 35 minutes. SCU stuck for a 2-0 lead with less five minutes left in the second, but Matt Katicich and Hastings didn't let them savor it long.
Their goals to tie the score was it for the rest of the game. Brownlee was called for a minor penalty at the end of regulation that put SRJC down 4-on-3 to start a five minute overtime.
SRJC powered through SCU's man advantage with several excellent defensive blocks. It looked like the game would end tied, but Nikkel scored off a pass from Hastings with 25.2 seconds left.
Getting those first wins was a big weight off the Polar Bears' shoulders. It reestablished SRJC's confidence and proved how resilient the team is. Players attribute better preparation as a factor, saying their full roster's commitment to practices and training is the biggest difference from the start of the season to now.
The Polar Bears have no down time with a jam-packed November already here. SRJC faces four different PCHA rivals in six games, including another Southern California trip mid-month.
But with the team's current play, players are eager to get back to business.
"It's exciting to think about how we turned things around these past few games as we look at the schedule for the next month," Brownlee said. "We have a lot of big games coming up—the biggest being this first game against UC Davis at home. It'd be nice to keep this momentum, this streak going and win a third game in a row. We go on the road after and it'd really push us forward. I want to win every game this month. And I know

Randall Ellis: Two men – including victim's nephew – jailed for Portadown killing
Detectives from the Police Service of Northern Ireland have welcomed the sentences handed down to David Ellis and Dean Martin at Belfast Crown Court today (Friday).
The follows the manslaughter of Randall Ellis, aged 49, at a property in Portadown in December 2019.
David Ellis, aged 21, was sentenced to 8 years – four years will be served in custody and four years on licence.
Dean Martin, aged 26, was sentenced to 10 years – five years in custody and five years on licence.
Detective Superintendent Eamonn Corrigan from the Major Investigation Team said: "Police and paramedics were called to Randall Ellis' home in Clounagh Park, Portadown, on the morning of Monday, December 9, 2019, where sadly Mr Ellis was found dead.
"He had been stabbed in his lower right leg, and had died from the loss of blood.
"Dean Martin and David Ellis, who is the deceased's nephew, had gone to Randall Ellis' house in the early hours of that morning, when the violent and unprovoked attack occurred.
"The two subsequently made off, leaving the victim to die alone. It's believed he died some hours later.
"This was a callous act, which has cost a man his life.
"I can only hope that today's sentencing sends out a clear message to anyone who thinks they can get away with such atrocity. We will continue to work tirelessly and relentlessly to bring offenders before the courts."
