October 01, 2012
Northampton Community College's week-long anniversary celebration began on Sunday with the President's Tennis Challenge - a chance for alumni and students to meet the College's new president while playing a sport he has enjoyed since college.
Decked out in Northampton colors and an NCC cap, President Erickson arrived at the courts twenty minutes early to warm up. His strong strokes in hitting with Gary Bolash'84, the top singles player in his day, impressed the players and their fans. So did his consistency. Rarely did he hit a ball out of bounds or into the net.
"He's good player," said Joel Aranda, a computer maintenance major who hopes to make the tennis team this year.
"I don't see any weaknesses," agreed his brother Eduardo, a first year student who also plans to try out for the team.
Matt Crouse was warming up on the court next to the president. A business management major who won the Pennsylvania Collegiate Athletic Association singles championships before graduating from NCC last spring, Crouse had been chosen to play an exhibition match with the president later in the afternoon.
"Do you think you can beat him?" a reporter asked. Crouse chuckled. "I'm thinking if I stay tough and hit to his backhand, I'll have a shot."
With rain threatening, Jack Masters, now in his 35th year as NCC's tennis coach, gathered the players together. Asked by the staff if he needed a microphone, he quipped, "I don't need a mic. I've been yelling at [these players] a long time."
But today there would be no yelling, Masters assured them. "We're here to hit some balls, meet the president and have a fun day playing tennis."
A round robin gave everyone a chance to volley with the president, and a rain delay gave them a chance to enjoy salsa, chips and other refreshments provided by the NCC Alumni Association.
Despite some lingering sprinkles, play resumed with the president and Megan Groh '09 taking on Eden Fimiano and Mark Pugliese '09 in a set of doubles. The president thanked Masters for giving him such a good partner as he and the former Pennsylvania Collegiate Athletic Association singles and doubles champ coasted to an easy win over their opponents. The Puglieses didn't mind at all. The newlyweds were glad for the chance to meet the president and too much in love to care about the score. They'd met as students and were married last summer.
The president had no time to rest. He and Crouse started off strong in the singles exhibition, with the president winning the first point. Then he pulled a hamstring muscle. Displaying the good judgment one would hope for in a president, rather than risk having to go through the rest of the 45th anniversary week festivities on crutches, he conceded the match, but gamely stayed to talk with players and fans while an attentive athletic staff applied ice to the injury.
Students and alumni played on. In addition to the athletes mentioned above, the formidable group included Billy Lahouchak, an alumnus who went on to teach and coach at Notre Dame High School; Jamie Leisure and Joel Maynard, both members of last year's undefeated team; Nicole Sharga and Hannah Thomas who won last year's PCAA doubles championship and never lost a match; and Ashley Gildner, Xiana Fontno and Lucia Montes, all of whom will be trying out for this year's team. Also on hand to cheer them on were Ashley Bennett '10 who won the state championship in doubles with Megan Groh and Amy Yeager Morgan '03, a former state champion and 2012 inductee into the NCC Athletic Hall of Fame.

Ayr stunned by Stranraer
Goals from Grant Gallagher and Jamie Longworth sent Ayr to a shock first defeat of the season as they went down 2-0 at home to Stranraer.
Ayr had enjoyed the better first-half chances but were wasteful in front of goal, with Brian Gilmour, Alan Forrest and Ryan Donnelly all culpable.
They were made to pay in the second half, when Gallagher opened the scoring just after the hour mark with a fine strike into the bottom corner from 25 yards.
The home team then had a good penalty shout turned down and...

Alpha: Survival of the Fittest - Full Action RPG
==> Download Game - Alpha: sotf <==
66.4 MB (RTP Included)
A story as old as nature itself, the Greywolf pack were once the mightiest wolves in the forest, but in time became arrogant and careless. The oppressed wolf packs around them had banded to destroy the Greywolf pack, and one stormy night engaged them in an epic battle. All that survived were the Alpha wolf Xerxes, and a young pup named Maxx whose mother was killed that night. Maxx would soon be forced into taking the role of Alpha and rebuilding the Greywolf pack, or else face the world as a Lone Wolf...
Battles are fast and furious button mashing action, mixed with strategical skill use thanks to Vampyr Coders SBABS 12. You can choose to be a Lone Wolf, or produce offspring and Fight as a Pack! Tear through everything in your path from Rabbits to Grizzly Bears in an open world adventure that will take you from Omega to Alpha of the wilderness! Compete against 4 other Wolf packs for limited food supplies. The 8 Directional movement scripting gives a fluid action gaming experience. Original Music for this game by Violence Machine.
A - Attack
S - Secondary Attack
D - Jump
Shift - Run
Space/Enter - Use/Pick up
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - Skill hotkeys
To produce a pack you must find a Den Mother, after that you must provide her with Meat. When there is enough food for her and a puppy, you can mate and a young wolf will be born. You can name the newborn, then go off and explore the world while you wait for it to grow up into a big strong wolf (about 2-3 minutes). Once the wolf has grown, simply approach (touch) the character and it will ask to join your group! Keep in mind, the more Wolves in your pack, the faster they will eat through your Meat reserves...
Once in your group, pack members can level up independently of the Player. So the more battles they fight at your side, the stronger they will become. Each wolf has it's own specialty (Attack, Defense, Speed, ect). If a wolf Dies, simply return to the Den Mother and mate to have the wolf reborn.
The Sniff skill is an invaluable tool that displays a mini-map in the top right corner of the screen, displaying the approximate location of Prey, Preditors, Super Preditors, Special Locations and the Players location. The minimap will show the strongest scents, so a rabbit hole or raccoon hovel (spawn points) may show up instead of individual creatures. It is useful to use this skill to see ahead in the map in case of Super Preditors that should be avoided until you have a full pack, or to find prey for quick meat gains.
Alpha: Survival of the Fittest is an open world game that takes place in every corner of the wilderness, from frozen mountain peaks to blazing desert dunes. In a "Zelda style" game world with no "World Map", players will be able to actively explore great various locations such as:
The Winding trails of Greywolf Forest
The Bright grassy plains of Evershine
The Trecherous cliffs of Trueno Heights
The Scorching expanse of the Badlands
The Firey obsidian bluffs of El Mesa del Fuego
The Murky maze of The Black Marsh
The Icy paths of Chillywind Pass
The Spooky depths of Darkwood
The Dangerous streets of Downtown
And more!
Maxx is a strong and intellegent grey wolf, born just before the pack lost it's position of power. He is traumatized by finding his mothers disembowled body, however this memory serves to fuel his richeous anger. After being left alone with his father Xerxes, Maxx must essentially fend for himself due to Xerxes lack of interest in him. There comes a time when Maxx must choose to become the new Alpha of the Greywolf pack and restore it to it's former glory, or else fade into extinction...
Xerxes was once the mightiest wolf in the forest, strong and sly, he lead the Greywolf pack into a position of authority over the wilderness. It was only after many years that Xerxes became complacent, too accustomed to never being challeneged. Confident in his superiority, he began to oppress the rival packs. He got his signature scar over his eye from Razor, who was just a young up-and-coming Beta wolf at the time. They scuffled over a deer carcass Razor had found on Greywolf territory, which lead to the banding of the other packs to defeat Xerxes once and for all...
Kush is the Alpha of the Redwolf pack that call Evershine their home. The Redwolves are smaller and generally weaker than the other wolves, but compensate with their cunning. Kush runs the pack from his hillside den lair, however recently contracted Rabies and has gone completely Mad...
Skill: Growl
Malvado is the Alpha of the Lobo pack, a group of black Archipelago wolves pushed from their northern home by the Arctic wolves and human expansion. Malvado spends his days awaiting fresh kills in his volcanic chamber, barking at the tremors which cause flames to sprout from the floor...
Skill: Bark
Frφst is the Alpha of the Arctic Wolf pack, living in the frozen northern territories which has toughed them physically and mentally. Frφst is deaf, as evidenced by his one Blue and one Brown eye, however he often howls dispite it in order to keep himself warm on the icy summit of Mohawk Glacier.
Skill: Howl
Razor is the Alpha of the Timberwolf pack, known for their reverence of all things Tough and Cruel, Razor is the Biggest and Baddest. Even in his youth Razor was unusually large, able to take on more skilled elder wolves like Xerxes. He now spends his days in an abandoned Mine chewing the bones of his opposition.
Skill: Blood Lust

If you find errors in the game, please feel free to let me know. I have tested the game numerous times, trying to break my own code, and all I have found are a few very minor bugs that will not disrupt your gameplay experience, however I admit there may be some glitches I have missed. Please do not flood with comments like "I saw a hot pixel in the top corner for 2 seconds when so-and-so character turns left", I'm looking for fatal or game ruining bugs thanks.

Very promising indeed, I'll give it a try now...
Hmm. Several things I'd like to note.
Predator is spelled wrong.
Humans. Wow. Not surprising how much damage they can do from a range, but it's kinda surreal that I can't do any damage in return close up.
Can porcupines be hurt at all?
Pack members cannot jump. A minor issue so far, but also makes quick getaways via jumping over objects difficult. I like the concept of the game, but I think the AI could use some work. Also, what do the different choices for AI type mean? I see 4, a sword, a shield, a lightning bolt, and a yellow circle. Sword and shield are obvious, but what about the other two?
There seem to be some maps where the sniff function doesn't work. One example I've found so far is the farm to the west of Evershine Glades. Would be nice to know where the farmer is at all times while I ravage his livestock >.>
Is there any way to remove pack members? I think there will be some occasions where I'd prefer to work alone.
Moving between certain maps completely restores HP/AP.
I hate jumping at Trueno Heights :/
There are some occasions where I'm in a map and my party and I are completely immune to damage. Not sure what triggers this.
Also finally found a bug that caused my game to crash. The message is as follows: "Unable to find file Graphics/Characters/$GreyWolf1_idle_idle." What I did notice happening prior to this is that my wolf seemed to be stuck in the sitting and scratching himself position, even though I was moving around and attacking.

Wow! Thank you all for the comments and support Glad you're all enjoying it...
@AntarcticTiger: Thanks for pointing out the errors, here's some answers to your questions:
1. You're not really supposed to be taking on humans until the very end of the game...The farm is an excellent source of Meat early, but low exp...so long as you're willing to risk getting shot by the farmer. I removed the sniff ability for that map specifically so the player can't know the farmers location (although I admit there are a couple of other maps where the sniff skill is practically useless for other reasons)
2. You will need the Bark skill to kill porcupines
3. Pack members can't jump, it's true however they will automatically "teleport" with you when you transfer to a new map
4.The Lightning Bolt and Yellow Circle sets Attack and Recovery skills as their primary AI concern (however only Xerxes will ever learn such skills so those commands are generally useless lol) I recommend keeping it on Attack (sword)
5. I tried my damnedest to fix the map switch/recovery/immunity bug (all one bug actually), but I couldn't seem to ever find where the anomaly was coming from so I just left it in The player could potentially exploit it for quick EXP gains...
6. No way to remove pack members other than getting them killed (I'd suggest the 'gators in the black marsh), however you can exchange pack members for one another once your group is full.
Thank you for playing my game, and I'll add those bugs you found to the list.
@Jakk43055: I somehow missed that one, good job finding that bug

I played this, for about 40 minutes, until dying in Conch Cave after being sandwiched by two raccoons.
Short Review
The game is pretty unique. It gives the player a good time out of the common save the world from the Big Bad game. Though, I must admit that this game reminded him of a certain map you could play on Warcraft III's Battle.net. For as far as the story goes, since I have only started playing, the only thing he could comment on was how the player attacked your own starving and insane father. Other than that, though, the game itself gave me a good feel, and the challenge factor is just right. It isn't too easy, nor is it insanely difficult. Good job.
Some Bugs he has encountered: (Mostly Aesthetic)
1. Spring in the nearby forest removes the incapacitation status from your first cub, but its HP remains at 0.
2. Exiting menu while Maxx is still a puppy briefly shows the sprite of grown-up Maxx
3. Moving through some maps shows a clone of the hud while in map transition
4. When you attempt to bring your cub along for the first time, it shows the name "Fang" instead of the input name.
5. Cub could level up even when hp is 0.
6. Is the save point in the home cave the only save point?
7. How do lilies support a fully-grown wolf?

Recipe by Chef John
"This soul-warming soup is deliciously simple -- just chicken and noodles. What makes it so good is the homemade roasted chicken stock."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 tablespoon
1/2 cup
diced carrot
1/2 cup
diced onion
1/2 cup
diced celery
1 pinch
1/4 teaspoon
fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons
melted chicken fat
2 quarts
roasted chicken broth (see footnote for recipe link)
4 ounces
uncooked wide egg noodles
cooked boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
1 pinch
cayenne pepper
1 pinch
salt and ground black pepper to taste
I love how simple this recipe is. This is just plain comfort food. It all comes together so quickly too. I weighed the 4 oz of egg noodles and measured them - it was about 2 cups in my large glass pyrex measuring cup. Remember your soup will only be as good as your broth / stock. Enjoy!
We (my family and I) were really NOT impressed. I followed the recipe exactly but it wasn't really impressive
68 Ratings
Excellent! I used Chef John's roasted chicken stock recipe and the schmalz (chicken fat) from the roasted chicken for making this soup. Next time I might try adding some frozen peas at the same time that the chicken is added.
Awesome!!! We love this soup, all I had was 2 quarts of regular chicken broth, but I went back to the store and bought one more quart of chicken stock because we like the extra liquid in our soup, the stock makes the difference. Perfect for a day you don't want to do alot of cooking. Thx
I always save my rotisserie ckn carcasses after I trim off the leftover meat @ freeze that in a separate pkg with the carcass. Broth is so much better when made with rotesserie ckn. Pretty much followed the recipe & added trimmings at the end. Great way to use up rotisserie ckn & get a bigger bang for your buck. Your only expense is the price of the veggies & if you're like me you have them in the fridge anyways. A pot of soup for no extra cost! If I'm not going to serve right away I cook the noodles separate. If they're left in overnite they tend to swell & absorb the broth. So I just toss them in when I'm reheating the soup.
I love it when cooks change the recipe so much and then complain/say it is great - not! That being said, this was superb totally as is. I made it for my kids and they slurped it up and were sad when it was gone. A total comfort food. I have never made broth from scratch, usually use bouillon to enhance my stock, but this was the first time I didn't need to and I felt like a real chef!
Wouldn't change a thing,, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Loved it however I added 1/4 teaspoon of basil, and 1/4 teaspoon of oregano to add a bit more flavor. :) Bon apatite!

There is a misperception that diplomats serve only as cocktail-party hosts and keynote speakers at events with foreign dignitaries. However, the recent attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt and the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya illustrate the difficulties and risks faced by U.S. diplomats serving around the world.
No one becomes a diplomat to get wealthy. They choose to do so to serve their country. Diplomats face many difficulties. Whether studying for the many phases of the Foreign Service Exam, becoming fluent in different languages or brushing up on a country's history, culture, customs and traditions, diplomats train to become some of the most informed and dedicated men and women in the world. Anyone who has been to an American diplomatic post abroad can sense the focus and commitment of these individuals. Many also endure long separations from their families. Worse, as in the tragic case of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Information Management Officer Sean Smith and the other two Americans killed in the latest attack, diplomats risk their lives daily.
Still, diplomats largely are taken for granted, which undermines their skills and missions. Diplomats must master the fine and delicate balance between tact and decisiveness. They must navigate the murky, turbulent waters of world affairs. Diplomats are mediators by nature, and we often take for granted the fact that the delicate threads of peace are woven by the craft of brave diplomats.
When diplomats represent the United States abroad, they are not acting as Republicans, Democrats or independents. They are acting as Americans, representing their nation's government and striving to promote the values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that have made the United States a beacon of hope and freedom around the world.
Anytime a diplomat is attacked, all of us should pause and think of the sacrifices made by those brave men and women who seek to ensure peace at home by promoting it abroad. Our respect and admiration for them is long overdue.

Knotty Boy Dread Shampoo Bar
Knotty Boy Dread Shampoo bar with organic Hemp Seed Oil is formulated for people with dreadlocks, working to prevent and combat the problems sometimes encountered during the dread locking process and thereafter. From a healthy scalp grows healthy dreads, so Knotty Boy is working hard to dispel the widespread myth that all dreadlocks are dirty. Dreadlocks, just like braids, cornrows, and any other hairstyle, need to be washed regularly to keep them clean. The shampoo bar from Knotty Boy is a good way to do that.
Knotty Boy Dread Shampoo bar is a herbal organic hemp shampoo that utilizes the naturally germicidal and anti-bacterial properties of tea tree, rosemary and peppermint essential oils to help eliminate flaky dandruff and itchy scalp conditions.Completely free of conditioners, this all-natural shampoo cleanses and gently controls oily buildup without hindering the locking process. Suitable for dreaded and non-dreaded hair. Made with 100% all natural ingredients and contains no chemical detergents or lauryl sulphates. Dread Shampoo is biodegradable and eco-friendly.
Wet hair and get the shampoo bar wet. It becomes
very foamy just like a bar of soap, so you can either work up a
good, thick lather in your hands and scrub it onto your scalp, or
you can rub the bar directly on your scalp and work up a lather
that way. Once you've done that, get down to the scalp with your
fingertips and give it a thorough, but gentle scrub. Leave on the
hair for 2 or 3 minutes. Allow the shampoo to rinse through the
dreads, thereby cleaning them without handling them too much. This
is the best way to clean new, still-soft dreads without damaging
them. Rinse and repeat as necessary - you will be able to feel how
squeaky-clean your scalp is after its been rinsed, and where you
need to shampoo again.

Your love is gravity
So let's go , baby hop in,
Let my love adorn you, you know that I adore you,
All I want is you now,
So baby arch your back and point your toes,
Be my vixen, my bed will be your stage,

What about lust? What about trust?
If I don't make it back before the sun, all you have to do is run and don't look back,
Those innocent eyes, that smile on your face makes it easy to trust you, if they only knew…
Girls like you, remind me that I'm lonely,
How many dreams does it take for you to imagine a field of bright lights that flickers and flashes,
Let's just be, baby let's just be, no running round in these streets,
Me,oh, me, oh my, I love..
Lie to me lie to me so sweet, I don't want to believe, anyone is just like me,
I don't want to be loved , I don't want to make love,
Saint, I'm a sinner, prize I'm a winner, what did I ever do to deserve that..
Can you roll down a window, I just want to feel the wind blow in my face, cuz these moments go one blink at a time that's why i never want to close my eyes…
Use me want to give you control with the lights on cause it turns me on…
Where the fun in forever can we love so hard?
I just wanna have fun, have fun and make money,
I aint tryna waste your time, I just want to break that ice..
Gotta find my way back , to you ,to us, to love..
I'm your hero, protector for you..
Tell me is it obvious that I still have the biggest crush on you, every time you smile I blush..
If you believe you'll do best without me.. I let it go..
When I'm low he takes me high, let me teach you all the sounds of love, baby this is for you…

'Dirty bomb' materials transported through Peace Arch
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) announced Tuesday that undercover investigators were able to transport enough radioactive material through the U.S.-Canadian border at the Peace Arch port of entry to make two dirty bombs.
According to testimony to the U.S. Senate Committee by Gregory D. Kutz of the GAO, on Dec. 14, 2005, undercover investigators placed two containers of cesium-137 in the trunk of a rental car and drove to the Peace Arch port of entry in Blaine.
Kutz said the investigators were able to forge official documents permitting the transport with the help of a GAO graphic designer and an "off-the-shelf" computer program.
Kutz also said that CBP inspectors at the Peace Arch followed the correct procedures regarding the transport of radioactive materials but failed to check the authenticity of the forged documents.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, a dirty bomb is a mix of explosives often mixed with cesium-137. When the explosives are ignited, the blast carries with it radioactive particles that could contaminate the surrounding area.
Although the radiation from such a dirty bomb is unlikely to kill people, residue from an explosion may increase the risk of cancer among those exposed to the radiation. The more direct impacts of a dirty bomb, however, would be the cost of cleanup or the indirect loss of trade and business during cleanup.
The investigators purchased the material from a commercial source by posing as employees of a fictitious company. However, suppliers in the U.S. are not required to determine whether a buyer has a legitimate use for the material.
The complete report is available on the at www.gao.gov, click on "reports and testimony."

Thank you Paula J and Sister Lura. Yeah, yeah, I really have learned that patience is necessary, over and over and over again. So, it is pretty much set in a blueprint on my brain. Patience has become my sister in existance, it is almost like she is an entity of her own. I have even started to talk to her, "Patience, what do I need to do now?" Then I go on about my day, doing whatever it is I need to do and complete whatever tasks are before me. And, at the end of the day, I am grateful to lay my head down and sleep a peaceful sleep. The next day I awake and ask, "Patience, what do I need to do now?"
And then one day I awake and realize that what I desired has come to be. I then smile and am grateful and I continue on in my next manifestation. It is a perfect cycle of knowing come to be.
Now, this is a simple task that we all do everyday and take for granted. It is called brushing our teeth. So, okay; heretofore, I have brought Sean the tooth brush, tooth paste and mouthwash and he has done the deed and I wash the spitcup out, no problem. Well, today, Sean was in his wheelchair and I said, "Okay, now it is time for you to go into the bathroom and brush your teeth on your on." And so he did. Such a simple task for us but for him a great marker in his recovery.
And then he said, "You're not going to enable me, are you?" I said, "No, I am not and that is the greatest gift I can give to you, for you to become independent again." He simply laughed.
Such small things, but so very important. I am so very blessed in each day of my life in the discovery of life itself. Sean tells me that he is so looking forward to the peace in our home. He told me today that through my actions, I have taught him unconditional love. Now, what greater compliment could I ever receive. I am so very blessed.
Thank you all for allowing me to share our lives with the all of you. It is special in the first place, but in the sharing, it becomes even more so.
I so love you all,

Bears' first Dance will start against San Diego State
NC season stats | 2011 NCAA Tournament bracket | West region capsules | McKale Center ticket information | Northern Colorado ticket information | Pep rally information
GREELEY -- Northern Colorado will try to become just the fifth No. 15 seed to defeat a No. 2 seed in NCAA Tournament history Thursday when it takes on seventh-ranked San Diego State at McKale Center in Tucson.
The Bears (21-10) learned their spot in the field's West Region on Sunday afternoon in front of about 500 fans at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion and celebrated with a roar when "Northern Colorado" popped onto the three 15-by-15 foot screens sitting near midcourt.
The Bears, in just their fourth year of NCAA Division I postseason eligibility, will make their first NCAA Tournament appearance around 2:40 p.m.
They won this year's Big Sky regular-season and postseason championships, so they were assured a spot in Sunday's bracket release. But they didn't know where or whom they would play in their first "Big Dance."
They found their answer Sunday, and the result was pretty familiar.
Northern Colorado has played San Diego State six times (1-5) and earned a 62-56 road win against the Aztecs on January 9, 2008. The Bears are also no stranger to McKale Center, having played their to open this season against Arizona.
San Diego State split the 2011 Moutain West Conference regular-season title with BYU but defeated the Cougars yesterday in Las Vegas to earn the MWC's automatic NCAA Tournament bid. The Aztecs head into this year's tournament tied with Ohio State and Kansas for the best record in the country at 32-2.
The winner of Thursday's San Diego State-Northern Colorado game will take on the winner of No. 7 seed Temple and No. 10 seed Penn State on Saturday, March 19.
Other Tucson matchups include (5) Kansas State taking on (12) Utah State and (4) Wisconsin playing (13) Belmont.
Northern Colorado will receive 350 lower-level tickets to Thursday's early session, which will also include Temple and Penn State. Northern Colorado will have the opportunity to purchase an additional 200 session tickets based on fan demand.
The price of the single-session ticket will be set by the arena, and participating institutions are not entitled to complimentary tickets.
If Northern Colorado's fan demand exceeds the Bears' ticket allotment, priority will be given to athletic donors (based on giving level), men's basketball season-ticket holders, and athletic corporate sponsors.
The Bears' team hotel will be the Viscount Suite Hotel Tucson (4855 East Broadway, Tucson, AZ 85711).
For more information and to purchase tickets to see the Bears in this year's NCAA Tournament, please contact Kristi Watson at 970-351-2116.
A pregame party and pep rally will begin at 9:30 a.m. Thursday at Sam Hughes' Place -- Championship Dining. The event will feature the Northern Colorado men's basketball pep band and spirit squad.
A cash bar will be available as well as outstanding food to order. NCAA Tournament games from around the country will be shown on big screens.
Once the Bears advance past San Diego State, a similar tip-off rally will be held Saturday at Sam Hughes' Place, three hours prior to the start of the session that includes the Northern Colorado game.

Kid Envy: 10 Things Grownups Will Want From Kids' Stores
Kids design has come a long way. So far, in fact, that it's no longer confined to children's rooms. Here are ten items we think can be appreciated by anyone, whether or not there are kids in the picture. And, look, not an owl in sight.
Of course, you'll want to carefully check the measurements of any kids furniture you purchase. Many desks and dressers designed for children's rooms have measurements equivalent to adult furniture. Some are a few inches shorter which may work fine for average or short adults. The Milo table (no. 5 above) is, of course, too small for adults to sit at (comfortably), but don't you think it makes a funky coffee table?
21 Comments
OMG- Those butterflies would make a wonderful gift for the (vegan) preschool teacher we have. Actually, I love everything posted here.
Is this a problem on my end or are the sources not listed for these items? Thanks!
Ok. Now I see all but that last one (the one I was drawn to first, of course). Where are the three poufs from? :)
I want those poufs too! I'm squinting my eyes out trying to decipher what's written on the ribbon tying them together, but so far no luck...
WHERE is the sheepskin chair from?!?! PB Teen too?
Yep, mamaholt, looks like the chair is from PB Teen. I love it.
The poufs are from BlaBla. I have two kiddos so I recognize that logo on the ribbon!
YAY! Thanks cearuilin!
Ps. I bought this table from restoration hardware baby & child. It's now on sale, btw. We use it as our coffee table and it's fantastic. Funky and tons of storage. It's a little low but it works great in our space.
Oh, and for those of you jonesing for those "gift tag" banners, I found some blanks here:
THANKS, Alanbean! for the chair link.
The first table, the play table is only 24" high - it's perfect for a coffee table and with the big drawer in it, you'll always know where the remote is left at night!
MAMAHOLT - Thank you.
sadly, I always want things from kid's stores, even if inappropriate.
I added a wooden Dwell elephant clock to my wedding registry and plenty of people remarked "oooh, baby things already??" It hadn't even occurred to me that it would give them that impression, I just wanted it for myself!
Where can I find the "bicycle lamp" in the second to last photo?? The perfect wedding gift for my twin brother!! :)
I covet that union jack ottoman!
Hey KRKSCHMCHR, you can find that lamp here at PBteen. It's on sale for $49.99.
I'm always adding "kid" stuff to my home. I think every house needs a bit of whimsy/quirk/imagination to keep it from looking too stuffy or serious. I was so glad when Circo fianlly started making full size bedsheets, so at least the guest room can have cool sheets, now if they'd just up it to Queen I'd be set :)
My favorite item in my bedroom is definitely this piggy bank: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/outlet/outlet/polka-dot-piggy-bank/s630694
I bought it at a C&B outlet, and I remember being surprised when I looked it up online and saw that most of the reviews mentioned buying it as a present for a kid. That never even occurred to me! I just thought it was a fun way to add some color to my room. I'm loving the ideas in this post too.
Guys, click on the pic, & it will embiggen it & show source + link.
Embiggen? I hope you wrote that on purpose and if so, it's hilarious.

A Beautiful, Well Organized Home Office & Studio
As someone who works from home, I know the pluses and minuses of the situation and definitely think that the positives far outweigh the negatives, at least for me. That said, one of the challenges is creating a place in a home atmosphere that is functional yet doesn't clash with your design aesthetic - it's all about the balance.
Well, we think Vana, the artist behind the silhouette shop Le Papier Studio, got it just right. She sent us in a link to her post all about her new studio and it's light, bright, cheerful and welcoming.
• Keeping all the furniture white creates cohesion among the different pieces and looks great against the medium gray walls.
• The mix of open storage (to keep things accessible) and plenty of closed storage in the form of containers and a curtained closet (to keep things looking uncluttered) is smart.
• The overall mix of functionality (computer, printer, plenty of paper storage) and pure decoration (artwork, creative containers, cute calendars) seems to in the correct balance to foster creative work and get the job done!
Be sure to check out Vana's blog to find out more about her new studio and visit her shop to see her silhouettes.
Thanks, Vana!

What a beautiful, inspired space! And just the inspiration I needed to tackle my own home office, which I've tragically neglected.
What paint is that? That's the shad of gray I need...
My kind of organization! I love the splashes of color! There is ALOT of stuff in the room, but it manages not to look clutter. Wow, what an inspiration!
I agree. I think by using white for the furniture consistently it makes the "clutter" neater but also makes it a space full of personality.
Love this. Yay!
nice space! open storage is key, easy access and it makes a small room seem larger.
Lovely! That grey is almost the same shade of grey that was in the room that I've recently turned into my studio.
Great office; I am envious. No matter how hard I try, I cannot keep my husband's stuff in his office in baskets, bins, boxes...nothing works. He wants it all out and all over the place. Fine for him, but I can never find ANYTHING! I am getting in there to try once more. Wish me luck!!
I too would like to know what that grey paint color is, pretty please.
I want to know where those metal baskets hung from the shelves come from! Those are awesome!
does anyone know where i can find those wire shelves hanging within the expedit?? i neeeeed those.
I'm so jealous, that is the way my office/studio looks in my dreams
Deebo - Me too!
::Looks down at arm::
Wow, I think I just turned green.
Wow, very inspiring! For some reason your artwork vignette chokes me up, very sweet! Are some of those mounted to wood? I like it, nice and simple.
This is exactly how I would want my home office to look, if I ever had the discipline to work from home. Which I don't. =)
Incidentally, the paint color looks similar to a paint color my tenants used in their bedroom: Behr Dolphin Fin.
in the process of setting up my craft room and LOVE these paper storage ideas!
Where did you get the wire hanging shelves/baskets? They are perfect for making the shelving space more functional.
looks like restoration hardware silver sage.
Hello everyone!
Thanks for all the comments here!
To answer some of your questions here:
- Paint color is Heavy Goose by Martha Stewart (purchased at the local Home Depot)
- Black wire racks are from IKEA (look for them in the heavy duty storage, shelving area).
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Here's the black shelves:
One persnickety point about the post: Vana's blog post plainly says this studio is a big move OUT of her house. That is, it's not a home office. Obviously, every great idea in there could be done in a home office too, so it's not any less helpful; but hey -- here's to accuracy!
It's great to see a little space that is very organized. Great choices of color. It means business yet very fun, I like that!
i really enjoy this. the art above the desk is fun and modern. here's a link to a similar artist ;)
Do you by chance remember the brand and color of the grey paint? I love it and would like to use it in my studio. Thanks

National Organic Symposium, Doug Frantz and Bobbi Neff.
Funding will help recruit top researcher and educator
(San Antonio) – The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) College of Sciences has received a $1.5 million gift from The Welch Foundation to establish the Robert A. Welch Chair in Chemistry. With this support, the university will recruit a distinguished chemist who will contribute to research efforts in chemistry and support the university as it grows to attaining Tier One research status.
The Welch Foundation gift will be matched dollar for dollar by funding available from a university endowment to create a $3 million endowment to attract and recruit a strong leader to teach and conduct research at UTSA.
Texas has three Tier One universities, each of which has at least three Welch Chairs. "Having a Welch Chair has become a symbol of achieving a high level of excellence in scholarly chemistry research, and I am very pleased that The Welch Foundation's directors recognize UTSA's progress and promise through the funding of this chair," said George Perry, dean of the UTSA College of Sciences.
Recruiting top faculty to provide instruction and conduct research that serves society is one aspect of UTSA's efforts to become a Tier One university. Such universities provide opportunities that lead to economic growth, generate new discoveries and innovations in science and engineering, and increase exposure to world-class cultural and artistic programs.
"The Welch Foundation endowment is a great opportunity for us. It will impact the research environment in the Department of Chemistry," said Waldemar Gorski, chair of the Department of Chemistry. "The Welch Chair will both amplify our ability to conduct high quality research and catalyze our scientific collaborations."
UTSA's relationship with The Welch Foundation began in 1993. Over that time period, foundation funding has grown to more than $4.2 million to support both the chemistry department and individual chemistry researchers.
The Department of Chemistry has research specialty programs including the major sub-disciplines of organic chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and physical chemistry as well as other interdisciplinary collaborations including medicinal chemistry and materials chemistry.
The department offers bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees and currently has 350 students enrolled in its programs.
The Welch Foundation, based in Houston, is one of the nation's largest and oldest private funding sources for chemistry research. It primarily supports researchers at Texas institutions of higher education.

I had a chance to visit one of my favorite "Anti-Napa-Snobbery"* wineries, Hopper Creek south of Yountville on Friday. I love creative, fancy architecture and all that, but these hidden rustic, low key wineries to me are more fun. They are less "professional" in some ways, but very enjoyable to visit.
Hopper Creek offers fantastic cabs, merlots, (and petit sirahs) from Napa and Sonoma County. There is usually a Border Collie eagerly cadging ball tosses. The tasting room manager usually has a PBR on the counter in front of him. The owner's son in law was watching a commercial fishing reality TV show (he was a fisherman for 25 years he said!). He actually gave me a bottle of 2003 cabernet made from grapes grown down the driveway by an area wild man (he looks like a viking) but never sold. It was awesome maturing cabernet!
Corison-definitely more polished than Hopper Creek, but Cathy Corison is so low key and anti-snobbery and she hires fantastic people that are genuinely pleasant and fun to talk with. The tasting room is a beautiful New Englandish barn...not pretentious in any way.
Donkey and Goat. Fantastic "natural" winery in an industrial park in Berkeley. I love the savory, tangy character of their wines.
Fields Family Winery in Lodi. So...my impression of Lodi as being nothing but Michael David "cough syrup" wines is false. There seems to be a new school. This hidden winery located in a basic metal building north of Lodi, made balanced, tangy, and quite nice wines. Loved the Syrah, and they offered a Mount Veeder Cabernet that knocked my socks off already! (Also liked the wines at Sant Jorge nearby. Not rustic at all, though ). Lodi is not as conventionally scenic as Napa or Sonoma, but given that Northern California had a massive amount of rain early this year, even the pastures of San Joaquin County looks like Ireland right now. Plus, the old bush vines are amazingly picturesque!

Moon-buggy is a simple character graphics game where you drive some kind of car across the moon's surface. Unfortunately there are dangerous craters there. Fortunately your car can jump over them!
The game has some resemblance of the classic arcade game moon-patrol which was released in 1982. A clone of this game was relased for the Commodore C64 in 1983. The present, ASCII art version of moon-buggy was written many years later by Jochen Voss.

1981 Harley-Davidson Ironhead Sportster (Billy Bike)
Last updated Apr 23, 2012

I bought this running 1981 Sportster on Craigslist to begin building and in the meantime ran across a 1970 Ironhead for the money that I just couldn't pass up. The husband had found a 1937 ULH 80" Flathead and while he was negotiating the deal, I saw a 70 sitting in the back, offered up a low price and the guy took it. So I learned to ride a Harley on a right-hand shift bike that even the local "Harley guys" thought was a huge accomplishment, but I digress.. The 70 was cool and all but really just an average bike although it did ride good and have some old school appeal.
On the 81 I wanted something that I just hadn't seen before, a bike that didn't scream "I am obviously owned by a WOMAN".... a bike that looked like it would just kick your ass the minute you walked by it, so began the "Billy Bad-ass" style of bikes that I am in love with.
First off, my husband, Gabe and I work in a shed, calling ourselves Boneyard Choppers, outta Harrison, Arkansas. A small shack that the last owners used to raise rabbits in. That being said, we started to collect parts. I got a set of fat boy wheels for Christmas from Gabe and since I decided I was building a bike around the fat boys, it was time to decide some other things that I KNEW I wanted for sure- a velocity stack, a custom seat pan, broomsticks and some good ole flames on the tank.
We bought and welded on a hardtail and the bike began to progress. Course as any good project goes, the closer you think you are to the final project the further away you really are and it ends up costing more money that you have. So you sell a couple hedgehogs, mention to the buyers that you are building a Harley and get lucky and one of them brings you a sack full of parts, including the "can't live without" E-grips that I love on the broomsticks.
Designing a bike from start to finish and not knowing how to convey that because you haven't quite seen anything like it before proves to be a daunting task with lots of cussing going on between you and your husband, but in the end it became exactly what I wanted. I got a seat pan from Bass Metalcraft and drew up a design on a brown paper bag one Sunday, cut and dyed the leather and added some screws to tie it all in and the one of a kind seat was born for less than $100.00. Added the scissor springs and yeah, the bike has no shock absorbency. When we are out people can't believe I am riding this bike and always say "That bike doesn't have a seat", guess they mean it's not a COUCH and it probably doesn't LOOK very comfortable but other than hitting huge dips in the road it rides just fine.
I didn't want turn signals, speedo and all that other extra stuff that makes a bike look bad. Black with some chrome, all ya need, right? The wide glide front end we got off of a Shovel gives it that beefy look and cutting the drag pipes down also lends it that extra appeal.
We built the bike in secret cause round here, if someone sees what you are doing, they go and copy it and while you're putting the final touches on your bike, they have their bike out on the street and then it looks like YOU copied them, therefore, secrecy is better. When the bike made it's debut at a local 13 Rebels show, it took Best of Show which was pretty exciting. Seven shows later and I had won Best of Show/ People's Choice at six of them.
I'm currently building a 56 Panhead in my living room, again in secrecy. I am currently working out, eating right and losing weight just so I can KICKSTART this bike. Who knew I would love Harleys as much as I love my cars but you just never know where life is gonna take you. You only live once so you might as well make the best of it. You will see us cruising on the old bikes in Arkansas and Missouri proving "Old Iron Never Dies".

The Titan full-size pickup truck comes in four trim levels: S, SV, SL and the off-road-ready PRO-4X, which includes an electronic locking rear differential, 18-inch alloy wheels, BFGoodrich Rugged Trail tires, skid plates, Rancho shock absorbers and a 3.357:1 axle ratio. The Titan has seating for up to six people and competes with the Chevrolet Silverado, Ram 1500 and Ford F-150.
New for 2013
A redesigned tailgate features a rear spoiler and an available backup camera. Inside, all Titans gain a new four-spoke steering wheel and sliding sun-visor extenders.
The PRO-4X model sees more extensive changes with revised exterior graphics, a satin-chrome grille, and dark finishes on the wheels and front skid plate. Inside, there are new white stitching accents and new logos.
Nissan offers the Titan in King Cab and crew-cab versions, each with long- and short-bed cargo boxes, which are identified as long- and short-wheelbase models. There is no regular cab. The Titan's styling has always been rather safe, never breaking enough barriers to draw customers away from Detroit competitors. Also, the Titan's front end has the same design theme as Nissan's Frontier truck and Armada SUV. Exterior features include:
A bench seat is standard in S and SV models, with bucket seats in SL and PRO-4X Titans. The center console (on models with bucket seats) can hold beverages and has a 12-volt power outlet and a cargo bin that can be configured to hold hanging files. The PRO-4X gets unique seats, meters, and gauges, in addition to a leather-trimmed shift knob and steering wheel. The overall interior layout is functional, and it's been improved over the first version, which seemed to have more minivan cues than rugged truck personality. The luxury SL model offers plenty of simulated wood trim, and there's an available Rockford Fosgate stereo. Interior features include:
Under the Hood
Mechanical features include:
Side curtain airbags and an electronic stability system are standard, as is Nissan's Active Brake Limited Slip, which uses the truck's antilock braking system as a virtual limited-slip differential. Safety features include:
Select up to three models to compare with the 2013 Nissan Titan.

Portland, Maine is cheap cialis prices expanding its airport and paradigms.com.do with the canadian rx levitra renovation comes a new geothermal system for heating and cooling. The builders estimate the system will save the airport 50,000 gallons in heating oll a year.
The system will consist of a 120 wells and a series of fluid-filled pipes running about 500 feet under an employee parking lot. The parking lot will act as a heat sink and underground temperatures should stay at around 55 degrees year-round. In the summers, the fluid in the pipes will help provide cooler air to the airport, while in the winter, the fluid will help heat the air to 55 degrees before the building's heating system takes over.
The reduction in heating oil use will amount to a significant energy bill savings for the viagra online us airport --about $200,000 a year and over $8 million over the life of the system.
The airport funded the installation of the heating system with a $2.5 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration's Voluntary Airport Low Emission program.

True geothermal systems use heat which is generated in the ground by natural processes (like radioactive decay, magma body proximity etc). They cannot reach entropy.
written by Matt, May 06, 2011
- It works better than a air heat pump because the order cheap viagra ground temp is closer to http://zvezdegranda.rs/canadianpharmacy where you want to be than the air temp.
- The backup system is not a extra cost of geothermal, a air heat pump uses electric or gas as back up heat. For those really cold days that it can't extract enough heat for the outside air. Note the backup system is used much less in a geothermal system than air heat pump because when the air is tramadol online fedex shipping $117.00 -10 degrees the air heat pump has already stopped working and gone to backup; while the ground is below 20 feet is still warm.
- Yes heat moves slower through the ground than air, that is why they underground pipes are so long. The amount of pipe you need is based on the type of ground (dirt type and how to buy ultram online amount of water). In fact if the viagra lowest price water table is high enough the heat transfer is much faster than in air.
The big drawback is that you have to install the pipes, so up front cost is how to buy viagra without prescription higher. So you have to look at the cost of the whole life of the system.

From a climate standpoint it is trivial to the point of denial for an airport to be focusing on anything other than reducing jet GHGs. It is like a morbidly obese person trying to www.unifem.it lose weight by trimming their fingernails.
But from a dollar savings maybe it makes sense. Hard to see why it is a EcoGeek story through.
written by Rich, May 06, 2011
True, it may not be a huge GHG saving compared to flights but hopefully other people and businesses will read about this system. It's all about education, and I see that as an important way to reduce flight numbers and improve aircraft efficiency and so on ....
written by Visual Carbon, May 09, 2011
What I don't understand is why it is "news" when a company does so much less than what is needed. The climate science is clear that we need to cut climate pollution about 2% per year for the next 40 years. And the project highlighted here doesn't seem to get anywhere close to even a single year 2% cut in GHG for an airport.
It is a "dog bites man" story in which yet another company does less than is required to www.enshift.com cut climate pollution. If it is going to be covered it would at least be helpful to readers to highlight this "geeky" but base level point.

One more thing, about the Chicago Chick-fil-A debate.
The more I think about denying a business the opportunity to operate because of the CEO's views on a controversial issue, the more ridiculous I think this is.
If Chick-fil-A is discriminating against gays or lesbians in their hiring practices or in the way they serve customers -- that's unacceptable, and it's illegal. But that doesn't seem to be the case here.
If someone strongly objects to the anti-same-sex marriage views of Chick-fil-A's boss Dan Cathy, they shouldn't eat at his restaurants. They have the right and freedom to boycott, or picket. Just as Dan Cathy has the right to say what his Southern Baptist beliefs are. This is America.
Seems to me that Ald. Joe Moreno (1st) saying Chick-fil-A shouldn't open in Logan Square because of Cathy's religious or political views -- no matter how wrong one may thing they are -- is Un-American. That is discrimination. The ACLU supports same-sex marriage, but said that if a government can exclude a business for being against same-sex marriage, it can also exclude a business for being in support of same-sex marriage.
Today, Chicagoan Lauren Silich, the independent owner/operator of the city's only Chick-fil-A franchise (30 E. Chicago Ave.), invited Mayor Emanuel to come into her restaurant and meet her family, including her Chicago Police officer husband, and her staff.
Yesterday the Mayor said, "If you're going to be part of the Chicago community, you should reflect Chicago values."
She pointed out that her business created 97 jobs here, has gay employees, and donates to many charities including gay and lesbian organizations. What about that Mr. Mayor?
Alderman Moreno has already gone too far, but it might be good for you to do a little back-pedaling here. Don't be "chicken."

One of the most unexpected trends to hit the spring 2012 runways was Americana, more specifically car culture of the 1950s. Prada showed shoes with taillights, fins and flames sparking from heels. The fiery fun style has lit up jewelry too. Just look at the flames flickering off these black gold, diamond and red Nephrite jade earrings. I would like to put them on for an evening and drive into the sunset.

Vision of Love Pocket Invitations Very good quality. If there was an issue that they wanted to double check they would call before it went to production. The communication was awesome. if i had one bad thin to say it would be the vellum straps are seperate from the incitations but are not listed as an add on for vision of love so it was not until after our order got here that we realized it. not a big deal at all.. i still aay this place was Awesome!
lovely invitations and enclosure cards
Vision of Love Pocket Invitations I had a great experience ordering my wedding invitations from Magnet Street. The staff was incredibly helpful the times I contacted them via phone or chat service. Once I placed my order I received the product within two weeks and in perfect condition. The invitations are very elegant yet simple, and I love that I could personalize everything from font type to color. Great website and very reasonable prices! I will definitely use this website for future needs.
Vision of Love Pocket Invitations My invitations were beautiful! My only complaint is that there was some of the invitations that were damaged during transit.
Elegant Invitation
Vision of Love Pocket Invitations We ordered our invitations a couple weeks ago for our wedding. The invitations turned out beautifully! We received them as promised on the anticipated arrival date in a lovely blue box. I felt very confident that our invitations arrived without harm. Everything was nicely packaged and organized. The invitation was exactly what I ordered and the linen paper looked wonderful and high quality. My only qualm was the stickers we ordered to put on the envelopes were difficult to pull of the paper and tore easily. However, I had ordered extra so it all worked out! We have finished assembling our invites and are mailing them out tomorrow!

Several citizens apprehended a man August 13, 2013 after he stole a woman's purse in front of a business on Sam Rittenberg Boulevard. While investigating the purse snatching, police determined he was involved in the burglary of an Albemarle Road residence earlier that evening.
Dustin Andrew Carroll, 20, of Millbrook Road, Columbia, is charged with purse snatching and burglary 2nd degree. Carroll is also wanted by Columbia Police for armed robbery.
About 6 p.m., a woman walked out of the Dollar Tree at 1401 Sam Rittenberg Boulevard when a man in bloody clothes approached her and asked for money. She took $5.00 out of her purse to give him when he snatched the money and the purse out of her hands and ran.
Several citizens saw this and chased the suspect. They caught him and held him until the police arrived.
The suspect said he was bloody because his brother stabbed him in the hand earlier that morning in Columbia.
During the investigation of the purse snatching, police determined the suspect matched the description of a man involved in the burglary of an Albemarle Road residence.
About 4:40 p.m., a man saw a strange car parked in his next door neighbor's driveway on Albemarle Road. He approached the car and spoke with a woman who said she was interested in buying his neighbor's sailboat. She asked if he knew his neighbor's telephone number. He didn't and returned home to get it.
He then saw a white male between 20 and 30 years old, about 6 feet tall, with short hair, wearing khaki shorts and a white shirt walk out of his neighbor's residence carrying a camouflage colored gun case. The suspect also stole several pieces of jewelry.
The investigation is ongoing.

MILWAUKEE (WSAU) Despite some rumors, a Milwaukee chicken supplier says you won't have to do without wings for Sunday's Super Bowl – but you will have to pay more. Greg Schmidt of Milwaukee's Tower Chicken Farm said a pound of wings has jumped from $3.59 at the New Year's holiday to a record-high $3.99 now. His place is providing the meat for some big Super Bowl parties – even though the Packers won't be the featured entertainment. Schmidt received one order yesterday for 320 pounds of chicken wings – and another 600 pounds will be delivered on Friday, which is double his normal business.
The National Chicken Council ruffled some feathers when it said that farmers made one-percent fewer chickens last year due to high feed prices – and that raised fears of possible shortages. Schmidt said the reduced supply naturally led to higher prices, but there should still be plenty of wings to go around.
