(NEWSER) – President Obama gave the first of a series of speeches today intended to refocus attention on the economy, reports CNN. "America has fought its way back," he declared, but "we're not there yet." He hit familiar themes in his speech at Knox College in Illinois, which, as the Wall Street Journal notes, was the site of his big first economic speech in 2005. Some examples:

The Daily Star
---- — Louis Parisi and Eugene Platt of Oneonta had good aim when it came to the game of marbles. So good, in fact, their skills earned them an all-expenses-paid trip to Wildwood, N.J. in June 1948.
College basketball has its annual "madness" in March during the NCAA Tournament. In a similar fashion in the late 1940s, public school students in our area and across the nation looked forward to the National Marbles Tournament.
Marbles tournaments in the Oneonta schools dated back to around 1935, but the grand prize was that of pride in being a good shooter. Those contests were limited to the elementary schools.
The 1948 tournament was new and of a much grander scale, as 14 school districts from across the region had hundreds of hopeful boys and girls looking to go to Wildwood. The major local sponsors included The Oneonta Star and WDOS radio, the latter being owned by the newspaper at that time.
Clifford McVinney, vice-principal and guidance counselor at Oneonta High School, was in charge of Oneonta's tourney. The way the tournament was set up, local school playoffs took place from May 12-24, with four winners from each school eligible to move on to a meet on Saturday, June 5, at the regional championship held in Oneonta. Two winners from the 14 school districts would then be escorted to Wildwood for the national championships between June 20-25.
"Well over 1,000,000 marbles experts now are practicing up on their shots," it was reported on Saturday, May 5 in the Oneonta Star. Winners who came to Oneonta on June 5 would be treated to lunch and awarded prizes. Additionally, "moving pictures will be taken during the championship play."
The big day arrived and the regional tournament was scheduled to be held on the Oneonta High School playground, at the corner of Academy and Grove Streets. An Arc Otsego building is found there today. Unfortunately a heavy rain fell so the contests had to be moved indoors to the high school gymnasium.
Oneonta High coach Hurley McLean oversaw the contests of 48 finalists, and WDOS broadcast the final contests in the early afternoon. Students from Franklin, Treadwell, Gilbertsville, Unadilla, Sidney, Worcester, Roxbury, Milford, Walton, Delhi, Laurens and Oneonta competed at 15 marbles rings.
Two were left standing in the end. Both were students of the Chestnut Street School, where the Calvary Hill Retreat Center is today, 290 Chestnut St. In the finals, Louis Parisi, 10, defeated Eugene Platt, 13, seven marbles to six.
While the "mibs" were flying in heated competition, the event was festive. "Over 50 prizes donated by Sears Roebuck Co. were awarded to the Oneonta contestants Saturday. Parisi was presented with a bicycle for winning the title and Platt was given a pup tent for runner-up honors. John Borchert, Sidney, was awarded a $5 prize from Jack's restaurant for third place honors."
"Lunch was served to contestants and escorts at noon," the Star continued. "Sandwiches were provided by Diana Restaurant, soft drinks by Meridale Dairy, and ice cream by the General Ice Cream Corp."
Parisi and Platt then moved on to face the best of the best in Wildwood. They were placed in league brackets by age, among 74 registered for play. While Oneonta's representatives didn't become national champions, they had a great time being in Wildwood for the experience, as described by the Star.
"Play is being conducted in the six pits near the boardwalk. The neat little cement ovals are rated the best in the nation."
"The Oneonta boys and their escort, Hurley McLean ... are guests of the Dorsey Hotel. They enjoyed a round of entertainment yesterday afternoon (June 21), including swimming and a boat trip."
"Tournament officials held a dinner for their guests. The winners of various tournaments conducted throughout the nation were presented with sweaters and duffle bags containing an assortment of merchandise."
The national tournament was so popular that it was held again in 1949. A familiar face from Oneonta returned to the championship round, held that year in Asbury Park, N.J. It was that of Louis Parisi. The other finalist from our area was the 1948 runner-up, John Borchert of Sidney. No national championships were brought home, but both showed well in their leagues.
This weekend: Oneonta was thrilled to see itself in a local moving picture in 1918.

Political Papers @ USD
The University of South Dakota: A Tradition of Preserving South Dakota's Political History
- Contact Archives and Special Collections <email@example.com> to use the Janklow Papers or other political papers for research.
In 1968, Dr. Hebert Schell, professor and former dean of the graduate school, wrote the following to Joe Foss, 20th Governor of South Dakota (1955-1959), "We sincerely hope you will find it possible to place your private papers with the University as a part of our growing manuscripts collection." Schell continued, "You might wonder what kind of materials make up a manuscript collection. The answer briefly is everything—your own letters, letters received, clippings, photographs, documents, pamphlets, etc." Schell, a historian, knew the value of primary sources for study and research in the humanities. Hence, upon retirement from the deanship, he served as the University Archivist and worked to develop the archives and special collections within the university library. Schell's letter to Foss reflects his efforts to acquire the papers of alumni and others who held political offices at the state and national level. Schell's efforts and those who followed him established USD as the home to the papers of Senators Peter Norbeck, Gladys Pyle, and Larry Pressler, as well as Gov. Richard Kneip. These political collections and others, now numbering over 30 and available in Archives and Special Collections, support research that has yielded scores of articles, theses and dissertations, and books.
When Gov. William Janklow (B.S., 1964, LL.B.,1966) donated his gubernatorial and political papers to the University he built upon the tradition initiated by Schell. The late Governor Janklow ensured that students and scholars at USD and beyond will have access to a research collection that is integral to future scholarship on the social, economic, and political development of South Dakota during the last quarter of the 20th century. The letters, reports, and memoranda of Janklow's four terms as governor are the centerpiece of his collection that begins with documenting his service as an attorney on the Rosebud Reservation upon graduating from USD Law in 1966. The collection comprises hundreds of speeches and campaign spots recorded on film and video, as well as includes records from Janklow's service in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2003-2004.

About Tegu
Inspired by the classic wooden toys of Europe, brothers Chris and Will Haughey founded Tegu to pursue the notion of breathing new life into a classic reinventing the wooden block with embedded magnets. After a meaningful trip to Honduras, they also wanted to address unemployment, neglected natural and human resources, and the need for entrepreneurship there. Today, they run a shop in Honduras that produces the durable, safe, and all-natural building blocks made from sustainably harvested tropical hardwoods. In addition, they offer stable, living wage jobs, help to give children the opportunity to attend school, and work to reforest Honduras by planting more than 34,500 trees to date.
Like Magic Cabin, Tegu believes that creativity and imagination are a child's best friend; when combined, they yield remarkable results. With this in mind, Tegu creates classic toys that serve as a foundation for exploration while stimulating mental growth, imaginative capacity, and physical dexterity.

SHARON — His voice has reached millions via television and the internet, but for Freddie Combs, its the pews of small-town churches like Shiloh Baptist in Sharon where the singer often finds his best audience.
This makes me more nervous than singing for 10,000 people, Combs said of performing in front of dozens of locals in a rural town with a population of under 500 on a Sunday night. I like singing for folks, but my singing is in vain if I dont minister.
Combs rose to fame in September 2012 when his televised audition for the national singing competition, The X-Factor, garnered millions of views online. Weighing more than 400 pounds and wheelchair-bound at the time, Combs said his story wasnt just about fame.
As yall can well tell, Im a healthy, healthy boy, the 42-year-old North Carolina native told the crowd at Shiloh Baptist Church, where he performed a medley of songs while recounting his life-long struggle with weight. My life almost ended.
At his heaviest in 2009, Combs weighed 920 pounds when a near-death experience sent him to the hospital and doctors told him he wouldnt survive. A stint at a bariatric rehabilitation facility months before had left Combs in a depressed state and he shut himself in a room for seven months where his weight swelled.
In the hospital, Combs said he suffered from carbon dioxide poisoning, a medical condition where the body can no longer expel the chemical properly during breathing. Doctors also told him he was suffering from anemia, a result of malnutrition.
I didnt want to be a story on the news, he said of his size. Weeks later, Combs began his ongoing weight loss, shedding 475 pounds so far, and in 2012 he made the news.
His rendition of The Wind Beneath My Wings on the reality show surprised the audience as well as the judges, who voted to moved him onto the next round. He dedicated that performance to his wife of almost 18 years, Kay, who took care of him and wheeled him out to the stage.
Combs didnt win, but he credits the show with giving him exposure and allowing him to do what he says he does best ministering.
His personal testimony is what really does it, said David Payne, 40, of York. Paynes sister is a good friend of Combs and asked about having the singer come down to Bullocks Creek Cowboy Church, where he will perform this New Years Eve.
The singer and his wife traveled from their home in Tennessee to York County this past weekend and decided to also make a stop at Shiloh Baptist Church.
Pastor Larry Nunn called Combs decision to come perform a blessing. He said Combs didnt seek a fee for his appearance, but urged churchgoers to donate what they could.
Karen Inman, 61, of Sharon called the performance wonderful and the word of God. Inman has been with the church for more than 40 years, remaining there even after she moved across state lines to Union County in North Carolina.
Inman had only heard of Combs name in passing prior to the performance Sunday night, but said she was moved by his personal story. Anybody that received this service and did not receive a blessing somethings wrong with them.
Raised on Southern gospel music, Combs said its the small churches like Shiloh Baptist that make him feel at home. This is my heart, he said.
But Combs is ready to go back to the big stage at least one more time.
When X-Factor judge Simon Cowell voted Combs onto the next round of the competition in 2012, it was under the condition that Combs be able to perform standing up. Ill back you if you back yourself, Cowell said.
While Combs said he has no intention of entering the competition again, he plans to go back and stand and sing, as a way to come full circle.
The singer keeps a photo of himself at his heaviest on his phone to remind himself of how far hes come. He also told the crowd that since the competition, he can now stand without support.
He said he has managed to lose weight without the help of gastric bypass surgery, which permanently reduces the size of the stomach and may be dangerous for those with a history of heart conditions.
He intends to continue shedding the pounds with nothing but dieting, exercise and his faith. I want to be 250, he said. I think that would look good on me.

Bowl History: The Franklin American Mortgage Company Music City Bowl began in 1998. The bowl was created to stimulate the economy in Nashville and also so that Nashville could show off it's beauty to tourists. ESPN has shown the bowl annually ever since its inception and more 760,000 fans have attened the bowl in person. While the bowl has played host to many conferences, it is exclusively an ACC-SEC matchup though 2014. The game has featured many big players such as Jason Campbell, Marion Barber, and C.J. Spiller.
N.C. State Scouting Report: Offensively, the Wolfpack rely on QB Mike Glennon and WR Tobias Palmer. Glennon threw for 30 touchdowns and averaged 304 yards/game. Palmer may not have led the team in yards and TD's (670 yards this season and 6 touchdowns), he has been Glennon's favorite target in big games. CB David Amerson leads the team defensively after breaking the ACC interception record last season. He will probably face off against Vanderbilt's WR Jordan Matthews.

Arrowhead State Trail
Rest area
The 135 mile Arrowhead State Trail extends from the intersection with the Taconite State Trail (near Tower) to 3 miles south of International Falls. The natural surface trail is used primarily for snowmobiling. Approximately 69 miles of the trail are suitable for horseback riding, mountain biking and hiking in the summer, however there may be wet areas.
The trail is relatively flat between International Falls and the Ash River. This northern portion of the trail goes through a number of areas that have standing water in the summer which makes this section of the trail mostly suited to winter use.
The southern part of the Arrowhead is very different from the northern part. It features rolling hills with numerous lakes and streams. Many of the hills have large areas of exposed rock and enormous boulders. This part is heavily timbered with a mix of hardwoods and conifers. This mix of trees on the Arrowhead is spectacularly colorful in autumn.

Penn basketball coach Fran Dunphy removes his name from consideration for the La Salle head coaching job, choosing to return for his 13th season at the Palestra.
All signs pointed toward the legendary coach leaving, but what seemed like a perfect match turned out not to be.
Long-time La Salle head coach William "Speedy" Morris was forced to resign following eight consecutive losing seasons, and Dunphy was one of the primary targets.
Dunphy quickly became a popular pick to fill the Explorers' coaching vacancy due to his connections to La Salle. He graduated from the school in 1970 and served as an assistant first under Lefty Ervin and later under Morris.
Speculation that Dunphy would take the job increased as the Penn coach met with the athletic directors at La Salle on three occasions regarding the head coaching job. However, Dunphy announced on this day that he is removing his name from consideration for the vacant post in order to remain at Penn.
After turning down the job, Dunphy would remain at Penn until 2006, when he left to coach at Temple. He became the first coach ever to lead two different Big 5 programs. He was approached one more time by La Salle in 2004 to be their head coach, but he turned it down again.

With the loan, there is also no need to delay improvements. You can start in immediately after closing. Another great feature is the loan's simplicity - one application, one set of fees and closing costs, one closing to attend and one payment each month. The interest on the cost of your improvements, included in your mortgage, may be tax deductible as well.
Lillian values your business and will provide you with the best professional service and mortgage solutions that make most sense for you and your unique financial situation and real estate goals.

Media Coverage: Boston's Overkill
July 31, 2008 11:07 AM
If you live in the Boston DMA, you'll be a very happy camper at 4 p.m. today. That's when the revered Boston Red Sox will decide whether they will trade off their All-Star outfielder Manny Ramirez.
Beantowners have been inundated the past 24 hours with every stupid detail of this potential deal and will breathe a collective sigh of relief when it's over. If you relied on Boston media, you would have no idea that Congress did not pass an offshore drilling bill or that the war in Iraq is still raging.
In a Cape Cod Times online poll today, 73.6% said get rid of the bum. Ramirez, who earns $20 million, is one of the reasons it's impossible to get a ticket to Fenway Park.
Or maybe, just maybe, they're getting as bored as I am with this story. With TV and print news departments shrinking, couldn't they make better use of the reporters they still employ?
I think so.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — The world is a grubby place. It is covered with all manner of nasty things, starting with plain old dirt, road slush, rocks and other unmentionables piled everywhere, including on top of those impossible-to-dust places like the Himalayas. But it is home.
You would think that on a planet nicknamed the "Big Blue Marble," dirt and its cohorts would be non-existent. How about keeping it contained to one spot so every place else would be clean? Silly, you know that is not possible, not if you are a bipedal dirt lure. After all, even water gets muddy.
In case you overlooked the obvious signs — bloody hot weather, bright sun, lack of rain and strength-sapping humidity — summer is in full Easy-Bake oven mode.
Compared to Venus, it might actually be comfortable. Of course you know that the little "love planet" Venus is hotter than Mercury because that little rock/planet, which travels close to the Sun, has no atmosphere.
Perhaps because of the heat, those pesky sweat glands get a workout without completing even one rep of the Insanity Workout.
Consequently, the skin and the damp clothing become virtual magnets and everything you come in contact with will tenaciously adhere to all clothing, as well as any exposed skin, until someone takes the merciful approach and hoses you down. Or, in the case of children, your mommy makes you take a bath.
Some people do not need an excuse to get dirty. They may actually be living, breathing dirt magnets. Summer, fall, winter or spring, such folks manage to find a way to get their clothes dirty.
My dear mother-in-law used to complain that her husband always wore his newest work clothes whenever he decided to work on the car or any other grease-infested machine. Consequently, most of his undershirts and work clothes were decorated with indelible, black grease stains.
Mind you, she was a resourceful woman who knew all the stain-removing tricks, and some I never heard of until I joined the clan. For example, coke added to a washer full of grimy clothes was supposed to remove stains.
However, even though coke supposedly dissolves fake nails, it never managed to remove those black grease stains Dad managed to infuse into the very fibers of his clothing. Short of using a stick of dynamite, Mom tried everything, but the grease and oil stains stayed put.
As you may have suspected, Hubby is a chip off the old block. He has an unerring ability to find the one nice, unblemished T-shirt left in the dresser drawer and baptize it in black grease. In his case, it seems to be a laissez-faire, relaxed lifestyle choice.
Dirt loves Hubby. Dirt hides around the corner as he goes outside and pounces on him. Call it a dirty welcome, but he doesn't mind because "a little dirt won't hurt you."
Of course, he is not the person who goes 10 rounds every week with some new and exotic grime that has managed to attach itself to his clothing. If you happen to pass by the laundry room during any weekend, it is not unusual to hear the mellifluous voice of the frustrated female therein, speaking in tongues.
Polite version: "Where in Hades did he manage to find that particular shade of grease?" Or "Do fish use indelible paint guns, or are those genetically engineered fish guts smeared all over this shirt?"
Apparently and as luck would have it, the embedded grime philosophy — a little dirt won't hurt you — is also part of both our children's attitude toward getting dirty. They plunge into every project with full gusto and come out stinky and dirty.
The good news is that all of them clean up nicely and manage to look great.

Professional hockey has been in the Puget Sound region for much longer than most people realize. Here's a brief rundown on the team names, leagues, and dates.
The two hockey teams in Seattle & Everett are not a part of a professional league, but they do help provide players for the NHL - to draft, that is.
The CBC has announced programming, aimed at women who aren't sports fan, to be broadcasted opposite the Stanley Cup Final games. And the nature of this programming has some hockey fans very upset.
Watching a hockey game is a bit different because of how an ice rink is set up. It's not rocket science, but typical sports logic doesn't always apply, either.
Introducing Frozen Grounds; a column where the non-hockey fan in Seattle can see what the NHL is about.

My daughter wore this costume to school and for trick or treating. It fit her well, was easy for her to put on. Looked just like the character. She got lots of compliments.
I really liked the costume. It was cute and she got lots of complements. I just didnt like the fabric would pill and run. The velcro on the cuffs would pull on the fabric on the opposite side. The pants ruin easy when sitting on unsmooth surfaces.
The costume came with a huge tear in the front. The costume then ripped in the back on the pants. The costume also fell apart in the back where the feathers were. We spent way too much time repairing this costume for what it cost. It was obviously cheaply made and cheaply put together. I will not be ordering from Spirit online again. It was a waste of money considering how much work and time we had to put into it. Buy at your own risk.
Great Trick or Treat Costumes! My daughter and her friend got lots of compliments because they were dressed as the characters (Mordecai & Rigby).
The costume is easy to get off and on, super comfortable, and fun.
My daughter loves it. I had to make a couple of adjustments so it would fit her better, but other than that, it's a cute costume!
I loved this costume. It was super cute and I was surprised that they had Regular Show costumes available. I wore it to a costume party and throughout the night more and more seams became undone. The hem of the dress ended up having several holes in it by the end of the night. It held up for the party but for how much I paid for this costume I was really expecting to wear it again.
Even though I used your size chart, your product did not fit even remotely close to what it was supposed to.
It was more than I expected for how reasonable of a price. It's long lasting. Minus the skirt. It started to tear but its such an easy fix. The poncho is incredible and I wear in on the reg.
I saw this costume and just had to buy it! I love Regular Show- and this is such a cute girl version of Mordecai.
I received the costume on time, and put it on immediately! I bought a medium, and it fit fine (even a little loose, and I'm tiny) the sleeves were a little long, and the elastic loop at the hand is way too loose, but nothing I can't fix. I noticed that the tights fit really oddly, so I tried them on with the tag in the front and sure enough they felt a lot better! The tag wasn't in the right spot. I also noticed some deep wrinkles, and a couple dirt marks- but nothing too significant.
You're buying a mass produced, polyester costume that arrives in a bag- what do you expect?? It's nothing a little TLC can't fix! I absolutely love my costume, and so does everyone I've shown it to : )

I bought this for my 9 yr old daughter based on the size measurements. My daughter has a 24 inch waist and she's about 4 ft 9 inch. The child costume would not have fit her and this adult medium fits over her school clothes.
There is NO extra room in the torso area. It's a bit long in the arms for her but it still works. If my daughter was even the slightest bit overweight, this would not have worked for her. She still loved it which is all that matters.
Overall, if you're thin, like a snug fit and like the Regular Show this costume is for you.
Awesome costume idea HOWEVER the hood tie-strings were un-sewing as my daughter tried it on for the 1st time :( we are keeping it...I'll just have to sew it myself!!
Size Sm Adult is more for a size 0 then what the package states. It's for a a very slim tall child. If you're average size you should get a large size.
I love this costume, I just think the hat/jacket combo was a little childish. Other than that, it is super fun.
I'm planning on going to work on Halloween day wearing it then going trick or treating then trading in my converse & leggings for black fishnets and 6in black heels because it's grownup time.

|nettle (ˈnɛtəl)
|any weedy plant of the temperate urticaceous genus Urtica, such as U. dioica (stinging nettle), having serrated leaves with stinging hairs and greenish flowers
|any of various other urticaceous plants with stinging hairs or spines
|any of various plants that resemble urticaceous nettles, such as the dead-nettle, hemp nettle, and horse nettle
|grasp the nettle to attempt or approach something with boldness and courage
|to bother; irritate
|to sting as a nettle does
|[Old English netele; related to Old High German nazza (German Nessel)]
(1.) Heb. haral, "pricking" or "burning," Prov. 24:30, 31 (R.V. marg., "wild vetches"); Job 30:7; Zeph. 2:9. Many have supposed that some thorny or prickly plant is intended by this word, such as the bramble, the thistle, the wild plum, the cactus or prickly pear, etc. It may probably be a species of mustard, the Sinapis arvensis, which is a pernicious weed abounding in corn-fields. Tristram thinks that this word "designates the prickly acanthus (Acanthus spinosus), a very common and troublesome weed in the plains of Palestine." (2.) Heb. qimmosh, Isa. 34:13; Hos. 9:6; Prov. 24:31 (in both versions, "thorns"). This word has been regarded as denoting thorns, thistles, wild camomile; but probably it is correctly rendered "nettle," the Urtica pilulifera, "a tall and vigorous plant, often 6 feet high, the sting of which is much more severe and irritating than that of our common nettle."

This is a very good shirt. I like the cool, silky feel and wearing it loose with shorts, jeans and khakis. The JosaB clearance and daily deals are terrific. I bought this shirt for far less than comparable shirts. Highly recommend.
Ordering was easy, shipment arrived promptly and shirt was wrapped in plastic with tissue (a nice touch).

comfortable and stylish
By SpedOfLite
from Eugene, OR
Bought three during sale- one was an obvious re-pack, and did not fit like the other two. Sent it back for an exchange w/out problem, though had to pay postage. Also- with these shirts I wear a "Small" and with other brands a "medium" is better, so they are pretty roomy. Other than that, quality product and good price during sale.
Perfect and excellent service

The Very Best
By DAC22
from Spring Lake Mi.
The fit was perfect, of course this is a casual shirt but with the top loop button: I tried a tie on under a dark blue sute, and it worked. When used in this manor the coller is thin, but if the tie is tied right will lay down perfectly for comfort and style. I bought three of them and may buy more.
Silky Smooth
By Eric the Well Read
from Soldotna, Alaska
About Me Professional
I love the smooth refined luxurious texture of this semi casual shirt. I ordered one first just to try it out then came back and ordered most every color and 3 in black. I've been disappointed by thin flimsy silks before but am pleased by the substantial weight of this fabric. It pairs well with denim as well as the coordinating silk slacks and shorts offered on this site. My first choice on vacation travel.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Cohen Adair's tie-breaking power-play goal midway through the third period rallied Northern Michigan past Wisconsin 2-1 on Friday in men's college hockey.
Trailing 1-0 going into the third period, the Wildcats (1-0-0) got the tying goal by Reed Seckel 18 seconds into the period and the go-ahead goal by Adair at 9:07.
The Badgers (0-1-0) took just three shots on goal in the third period and 20 overall. Their only goal was by Michael Mersch in the first period, in which they had a game-high 10 shots.
Jared Coreau had 19 saves for the Wildcats, who outshot Wisconsin 21-20.
Wisconsin goalie Joel Rumpel made 19 saves.

Busy Buddy Ultra Woofer
PetSafe (Radio Systems)
Dogs love to chew, and this toy is designed with determined chewers in mind. The extra-wide ends of the Woofer protect a single ultra-thick rawhide treat ring. The ring is 4x thicker than our regular Busy Buddy rawhide rings. The toy design makes it more difficult for dogs to get a grip on the rawhide. This difficulty combined with the ultra thick rawhide rings means this toy will hold a dog's interest for a long time.

It's Texas Wine MonthWritten by Lori Moffatt | Published October 12, 2010
Hello, there! It has been awhile since my last blog, and it's good to be back!
It's Texas Wine Month, and I know what I'll be doing this evening--cracking open a bottle of vino to celebrate this and other recent toast-worthy events. In my cabinet at the moment are several new-to-me bottles from East Texas' Los Pinos Vineyard, as well as a few tried-and-true wines from Central Texas' Alamosa Cellars, so I'll have to see what sounds best when I get home.
The Texas wine biz has grown tremendously in recent years, and now contributes more than $1.3 billion to the state's economy. We're the 5th-largest producer in the United States, bested only by California, Washington, Oregon, and New York. (That last one is a surprise to me.) Currently, Texas boasts some 200 wineries, and most offer tasting rooms and tours.
I spent some time exploring the Texas Department of Agriculture's Web site (www.gotexanwine.org), and I found a lengthy (and inspiring) list of upcoming wine-focused events, including the upcoming La Dolce Vita Food and Wine Festival in Austin (Oct. 14), the Fredericksburg Food and Wine Fest (Oct. 23), the Grapevine Hallowine Trail (Oct. 30), and Addison's WineFest 2010 (Nov. 6)—and that's just for starters.
Cheers to autumn!

Deep-fried blog: Dining at the State FairWritten by Lois M. Rodriguez | Published August 26, 2010
I'm not sure I understand the competition to come up with the next best fried thing, and I'm not here to judge (I'm responsible for my extra poundage – no one else), but every year, when the State Fair of Texas announces its list of fried food finalists, my ears perk up. I am excited to know what's being tossed into the vat next.
They never disappoint, at least not in terms of generating a buzz. So in case you didn't get the memo, let me share the menu.
This year, you'll get ID'd if you order items like Deep-Fried Frozen Margarita or Fried Beer. Like the Fried Coke or Fried Butter before them, that just seems to defy some scientific law, but I'll admit I'm ready for the lines to open up for a frozen margarita. While waiting in line, I'll ponder the difference between "fried†and "deep-fried.â€
The Deep-Fried Frozen Margarita is born of the goodness of two things – margarita ingredients and funnel cake batter. They are mixed together, fried, dusted with a lemon-lime mixture and served in a salt-rimmed glass. While probably not as refreshing as the real thing, it sounds pretty good to me.
The Fried Beer is a beer-filled pretzel pocket. I'm not a fan of beer, so someone else will have to vouch for this later. I hear the beer really does pour out when you take a bite.
Again, don't forget your ID. You will get carded for these – even though, I'm pretty sure the alcohol disappears somewhere in the frying process.
As a bona fide lemon addict, I'll need to order the Fried Lemonade, a baked lemon-flavored pastry that is then fried and glazed with a mix of lemonade, powdered sugar and lemon zest. I'll probably seek out fresh lemonade to wash this down with, and be in citrus heaven.
For chocolate lovers, there is, of course, Fried Chocolate, a white chocolate candy bar and a cherry are stuffed inside a brownie, dipped in chocolate cake batter, deep fried and topped off with powdered sugar, a cherry sauce and chocolate whipped cream. I might have called it Fried Cherry Cordial, but alas, once again they did not call for my opinion. *insert audible gasp here* Just kidding. :) Well see, though, if that shows up on the menu next year. Remember, you heard it here first! Ha! Oh boy, do I have all kinds of GREAT ideas for next year!
There also is the Deep-Fried S'mores Pop Tart, which is pretty self-explanatory. A s'mores flavored Pop Tart is battered, fried and then topped with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. I'd like to put this to the test with my friend Kate who lights up her fire pit at home as often as she can to feed her s'mores cravings.
For something more savory, traditional and Texan, they're promising Texas Fried Frito Pie. Not sure how, but they are apparently able to hold together the chili, cheese and Fritos long enough to fry it. It's a mystery to me, but the item made it as a finalist, so it can be done. Amazing what a little human will and ingenuity can achieve. Speaking of: Look for Texas Fried Caviar –– fried and seasoned black-eyed peas. Whodathunkit? Someone thought of it.
And finally, for you health nuts … oh, wait … nevermind. This salad is fried, too. Fernie's Fried Club Salad is a spinach wrap stuffed with the goodness of diced ham, chicken, shredded lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, cheese and bacon. Sounds good, but wait, I'm not finished. It's fried, topped with deep-fried sour dough croutons on a stick and then served on a bed of lettuce. Well, at least you can still say you had the "salad,†if anyone asks.
So there you have it. Don't try them all in one sitting, or it'll be "groan†appétit instead of bon appétit. Pace yourself. You'll have 20-something days to get it all in. The State Fair of Texas runs from Sept. 24-Oct. 17.
Fresh Sushi—from a TrailerWritten by Jane Wu | Published August 25, 2010
I've been curious to try Sushi-A-Go-Go in Austin ever since its mention in Nov. '09's TH Taste on Dining Trailerside. Sushi from a trailer?
As stated in the article, Sushi-A-Go-Go has since moved from Manor Rd. There are now two locations: 4001 Medical Pkwy. (in the Shell parking lot) and 801 Barton Springs Rd., which opened in May.
Sushi-A-Go-Go offers a voluminous menu of sushi rolls plus shu-mai (shrimp dumplings) and mochi ice cream. I've dined at the Barton Springs location twice this summer, and despite the parking lot location, it's cooler and more comfortable than you'd think, sitting on picnic benches under giant umbrellas with an intermittent breeze, savoring the cool sushi combos and feeling your internal temperature drop a few degrees. For those who prefer eating in air-conditioned comfort, you can also call in your Sushi-A-Go-Go to-go.
The sushi rolls, 8 pieces per order, contained small but fresh cuts of seafood. I ordered the Dynamite roll (tuna in a spicy sauce with avocado), and my daughter Lucy had the Sunshine Roll (salmon, mango, and avocado). We also shared some shu-mai.
The zesty ahi tuna rapidly slid and dissolved in my mouth. I also sampled the salmon roll, and the mango-avocado duo gave a slightly sweet and nutty flavor to the silky-smooth, savory salmon. The shu-mai (served warm) was lightly crisped, plump and juicy.
Most of the rolls average around $6, cheaper than supermarket sushi, and made to order. On a hot summer day, Sushi-A-Go-Go is my go-to for a light, enticing, and budget-friendly meal.

Fore! Fantastic Fun in Fort WorthWritten by Super User | Published June 3, 2010
So fortunate to personally experience and thoroughly enjoy the Sunday final round of the PGA Tour's Crowne Plaza Invitatational at Colonial in Fort Worth. Quite a thrill. Winner Zach Johnson (with more than a passing resemblance to Hollywood star Joaquin Phoenix, and also happens to be a native Iowan like myself), shot a tournament record 21 under par 259! Among his 6 other tour titles are the 2007 Masters in Augusta and San Antonio's Valero Texas Open in 2008 and 2009. The historic Colonial Country Club and golf course, surrounding FW neighborhoods, and TCU campus were perfectly gorgeous, while the Colonial staff's wonderfully gracious hospitality is a pleasure to behold. And, the highly competitive field of top players brought out the best in each other during the final 18 holes. Hey, these guys are really good! Honestly, I'm not even a golfer (ok, maybe a little driving range/pitch and putt activity), but this is an event you absolutely must consider. It's truly a Texas sports classic. You're able to get incredibly close to the action, and the gallery of fans is most entertaining, as well. Be sure to view the statue of legendary Texan Ben Hogan, one of the game's greatest, and the room full of impressive Hogan career memorabilia here, including some of his major (British Open, Masters, US Open, PGA Championship) tournament trophies. Colonial, founded in 1936, was Mr. Hogan's home course. See www.colonialfw.com, www.crowneplazainvitational.com, or www.pgatour.com.

Hola Herbert'sWritten by Super User | Published April 26, 2010
Enjoyed the wonderful spring weather by taking in #1 Texas vs. Oklahoma State Big 12 baseball at UT's impressive UFCU Disch-Falk Field in Austin and a Southland Conference baseball game between Texas State and Northwestern State on campus in San Marcos at the Bobcats' very nice new stadium complex. The biggest hit may have been discovering Herbert's Taco Hut on Riverside Drive in San Marcos. Primo Tex Mex! Herbert's Special of 1 crispy taco, 1 bean and cheese chalupa, and 1 enchilada (beef, cheese, or chicken), along with rice, beans, guacamole, and tortillas is a culinary classic. Superb melon agua fresca. Terrific tres leches cake (see Lois M. Rodriguez' TH Taste feature on pastel de tres leches in the new May issue of Texas Highways). And check out Herbert's house special strawberry margarita (pictured at left).

We will miss you. Diego Forlan just can't be the only person on the team, you know. Still, they did better than I thought they would against the Netherlands. Just not good enough. If Spain doesn't win tomorrow, I don't think I'll have any interest in watching the finals.

World Cup Day 9, Day 10, Day 11
So, the most important things we've learned in the last three days are. 1. Portugal kicked North Korea's ass hardcore, and probably could've gotten more goals if it'd been more on target. 2.

Ivory Coast v Portugal For a scoreless match, this one was sort of interesting, though I would have …

Companies join for high-precision product monitoring
Cognex and B&R have joined to use Powerlink in the In-Sight line of products, incorporating "visualization, control and drive technology...in production line operation."
Cognex and B+R have entered a technological cooperation. Their strategic goal is the use of Powerlink in the In-Sight line of products from Cognex. "The result of this cooperation is a complete solution that incorporates visualization, control and drive technology for high-speed and high-precision product monitoring in production line operation. The Cognex In-Sight product line is optimally integrated in the B+R System via Powerlink," states Hans Wimmer, B+R Managing Director.
Cost-efficient and modular
Machine manufacturers will reportedly benefit not only from synchronization of Cognex In-Sight products and the B+R control system, they will also benefit from easy integration of a wide range of machine designs. The new vision solution is also highly compatible with all Powerlink-based B+R product lines.
The Cognex image processing systems for checking, identifying and feeding parts feature quick start-up times and a significantly reduced amount of wiring. This means considerable savings potential for the machine manufacturer and end-user. Extensive diagnostic options facilitate smooth operation of the high-resolution application in large-scale production facilities.
