You're mostly right, as usual, but there's altogether too much hand-wringing around the net about whether the best football (and baseball!) conference in the country is one week being too predatory, the next too sweet. Two points of quasi-disagreement with your post come to mind -
• Atlanta, Nashville and Orlando are not the only significant TV markets in the current SEC footprint. Add Memphis, New Orleans, Louisville, Tampa, Jacksonville, Birmingham, etc. Granted, those markets don't equate with LA, Chicago, NYC, but they're not chopped liver. And the % share of market actually tuned into broadcasts of SEC games in its markets is higher than other conferences in most of the non-SEC markets you mention. Is Miami forced to watch exclusively ACC games? I don't know for sure, but I doubt it. Add Houston and Dallas when, not if, A&M joins.
• The SEC needs to expand further, I agree - for the sole reason, if not others, that it needs to reach whatever threshold is required to renegotiate its television contracts. The PAC-12 has the largest current contract - add OK, Tex and their little brothers and, again I agree, it grows substantially. But until some league proves differently - and it will NOT be then enlarged ACC - the national championship still goes through Atlanta. That alone ought to warrant renegotiation - if it does not, expansion should supply the requisite pretext. The next SEC TV contract with hopelessly-conflicted ESPN should include an escalator clause, like that of the contracts of several head coaches, which automatically makes the SEC's package with that network the most lucrative; when the PAC-? gets a bump, the SEC should automatically leapfrog.
Thanks for all you do.

Apple Maintains Tablet Apps Processor Lead with 37 percent Revenue Share
BOSTON, Feb. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The global tablet processor market grew 32 percent year-on-year to reach $3.6 billion in 2013, based on preliminary estimates from the Strategy Analytics Handset Component Technologies service report, "Tablet Apps Processor Market Share Q3 2013: Qualcomm Grabs Top Spot in Non-iPad Tablets."

Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung, Intel and MediaTek held the top-five revenue share spots in the tablet applications processor market in 2013 as detailed in this Strategy Analytics report. Apple continued its lead in the tablet applications processor market with 37 percent revenue share in 2013, followed by Qualcomm with 11 percent revenue share and Samsung with 10 percent revenue share.
Sravan Kundojjala, Senior Analyst explains "Strategy Analytics estimates the Chinese and Taiwanese low-cost tablet applications processor suppliers including Actions Semiconductor, Allwinner, MediaTek and Rockchip among others cumulatively accounted for one-third volume share in 2013. Strategy Analytics notes that the barrier to entry is quite low in tablet applications processors compared to smartphone applications processors market, thanks to low cellular attach rates in tablets which avoids the requirement for baseband expertise."
Stuart Robinson, Director of the Strategy Analytics Handset Component Technologies service, adds "Intel, Marvell, MediaTek, Qualcomm and Samsung all made progress in tablets in 2013 and registered significant growth in shipments. Qualcomm scored multiple high-profile tablet design-wins in 2013 and captured the top revenue share spot in non-iPad tablets in 2013."

Is this a serious question? What do you think the objective is when hunters shoot animals? And since you're also opposed to "armor piercing" bullets which maintain their shape upon impact, as opposed to deforming, what type of bullets are you okay with? FYI, information about the hows and whys of bullet design can be easily found on the internet with minimal effort.
Your snide comments and evasion are pathetic.
Hunters do not need the most powerful bullets, or the most powerful guns to 'enjoy' their sport. Obviously they think they do though.

Comments about Beer Cozy:
I live in the sub-tropics on the beach and wear sandals 300+ days each year. Bought these same sandal three times. First pair lived for a long time, 2nd paid lived for a year and the 3rd is still alive but on life support. If these sandals get wet, they will fall apart! I can't wear these in the rainy season at all. Expect more for the price. But make no mistake...these are NOT made to sustain exposure to heavy rains/water. Having said this...they are the most comfortable sandals you will find. I also own the primos and they seem to be holding up (but won't wear in the rain). I won't be buying these again. Many other products on the market to meet my needs...

Reform of Wisconsin's mining laws was at the top of the GOP agenda yesterday as the 2013-2014 session of the Wisconsin State Legislature opened.
Over the past month Governor Scott Walker has been priming the pump for the reintroduction of a highly controversial bill that would exempt iron mining companies from certain air and water quality standards, and remove effective input from the public on the mining permitting process.
Last week Walker toured several manufacturing plants in the eastern part of the state to rally the troops behind the bill in the name of job creation. Even though officials from the Gogebic Taconite mining company that has expressed an interest in mining the Penokee Range on the shores of Lake Superior has claimed that 700 jobs would be created by the project, Walker greatly exaggerated that number last week.
"About 3,000 direct and 2,800 permanent jobs that would either be on site, or at businesses like this all across the state of Wisconsin," he said while touring a Valley Plating and Fabricating in Green Bay.
Those job numbers are as inflated as the overall job creation numbers his administration lays claim to. A recent editorial in the Capital Times called him out as a liar in the headline for tripling the actual number of jobs created. The article points out that the overall impact of Walker's policies over the past two years has caused Wisconsin to be a leader in job loss.
Walker went on to characterize the mining deregulation bill as a simple matter of regulatory streamlining that would have no effect on environmental protections. "Clean air, clean water, clean land standards are still intact. What it does is put in place a process that is streamlined and makes it easier for them to invest that money," he explained.
Despite formidable opposition to the bill last year that included dozens of hours of testimony by scientists about the devastating effects of a 1,000-foot-deep open-pit mine 21 miles long and a mile and a half wide, Walker and his Republican colleagues in the legislature seem to have missed the point.
In fact, Walker told his audience in Green Bay last week that there was no meaningful opposition to the bill from within the state last year. He claims that the bill failed in the senate due to the efforts of "people from out of state spending money trying to shut the process down because of the politics and the recall at the time."
Republican Senate and Assembly leaders are just as glib about the job creation potential and lack of harmful environmental impacts of the proposed mine around which the bill is constructed.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Burlington) wants to expedite the bill's passage. "I am very optimistic it will be introduced hopefully by the end of next week or sooner, and that we can have hearings by the end of the month and move the process along as expeditiously as possible."
In a press conference yesterday, Vos said the bill introduced next week will be "99.9% the same" as the Joint Finance Committee version of the bill that failed to pass the senate by one vote last spring. That version included the appropriation of hundreds of thousands of dollars in workforce development funds to districts represented by conservative Democrats as a way to win their vote.
When asked whether legislators have consulted with the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa whose reservation sits at the foot of the Penokee Range and whose watershed would be affected by a mountain top removal project there, Vos said, "Consultation usually occurs after legislation has happened. The Bad River tribe has an opportunity to participate in the hearing process just like any other member of the public." He added, "It is very difficult to negotiate with someone who says they don't want a bill under any circumstances."
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) said he hoped the senate would pass the mining bill by early March. Fitzgerald admits that the bill will have to be "tweaked" in order to win the votes of a couple Republicans who have come out against earlier versions of the bill. But he echoed the impatience of Walker and Vos, saying, "There's been almost two years of discussion." He also has no plans of consulting with the Bad River tribe during the drafting process. "It's going to difficult to ever get them on board," he said.
Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca (D-Kenosha) made reference to the reemergence of the mining bill in a statement released on Monday. "Bipartisanship is not one side going along with the other side's extreme ideas. Limiting public input to simply tweaking extreme proposals is not bipartisanship." He added, "Today needs to mark the end of extremism dominating Wisconsin politics."
Although their rhetoric has shifted to include the words "bipartisanship," "cooperation," and "compromise," Walker, Vos and Fitzgerald seem bound and determined to pursue this extreme bill that is little more than a wholesale giveaway of Wisconsin's natural resources to mining companies. What they don't seem to understand is that the Bad River and other tribes located in ceded territory – the entire northern third of the state – have federal treaty rights that will be the legal basis for tying up this law in court for many years.

The Dallas Zoo is a must see and do in Dallas, Texas. The 106-acre park opened over a century ago and has grown to be one of the best zoos in the nation. The zoo recently added the Giants of the Savanna exhibit where a multitude of species are able to roam the land freely, giving guests a unique experience. A menagerie of elephants to ostriches covers this land and shares the habitat; a new feature, since the zoo kept many species separated in the past. The Dallas Zoo is also home to the Wilds of Africa where you are able to go on a unique safari ride, gliding through the air and looking down on the animals from inside a monorail. The Dallas Zoo even has its own Gorilla Conservation Research Center. (more…)

Considering Bachus' decision not to seek re-election, determining which Republican has the best chance to take over Bachus' place in the House is one of the GOP's top questions in Alabama these days.
Early on, a number of names were floated, but until recently only three had announced — state Rep. Paul DeMarco, orthopedic surgeon Chad Mathis of Indian Springs and Gary Palmer, CEO of the American Policy Institute, a conservative research agency.
Now there are four.
On Tuesday, Will Brooke, executive vice president of the Harbert Management Corp., threw his hat into the ring.
A candidate can't get much more Republican establishment than Brooke. Harbert is an international investment management company specializing in private equity, venture capital, real estate and hedge funds. Corporate capitalist to the core, Brooke served as chairman of the Business Council of Alabama and helped shape its political agenda.
However, this GOP primary in the 6th district — which covers Mountain Brook, Homewood and Hoover and parts or all of Bibb, Blount, Chilton, Coosa, Jefferson and Shelby counties — could turn into an inter-party donnybrook like the one recently contested in the 1st district between winner Bradley Byrne and his Tea Party opponent, Dean Young.
It will be compelling politics if DeMarco, Mathis and Palmer position themselves to pull this off against Brooke.
Of the three, Mathis is a strong option for conservative Republicans. Described as a Tea Party activist, he underscored his commitment to the right wing when he campaigned for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, last year. Palmer, meanwhile, is a frequent speaker at Tea Party events in Alabama.
Realizing he might have Tea Party opposition, Brooke stressed unity and, while he said he did not think "the rift (in the GOP) is that serious," he felt confident he "could bridge that gap."
One place there is unity is the message all the candidates are putting out. To the man they are against Obamacare, opposed to intrusive government, and want to cut spending and balance the budget.
However, because they all want the same thing, the key to getting elected will be to convince voters that they are best qualified (or their opponents are less qualified) to get the job done. When issues are not the issue, personal traits, accomplishments and associations are pushed to the forefront. That is when a campaign can get nasty.
Maybe Alabama's 6th congressional district candidates can avoid this. The 1st congressional district candidates certainly didn't.

The controller should do it.But if you are operating above 100 psi,make sure your velocoties,pipe sizes are correct,Water hammer is not your friend...Upper
I purchase a home with a 12-zone irrigation system on municipal water. When I bought it the owner said the system was all plumbed for lake water, I just need to install a pump. I chose an identical pump as my next door neighbor (same topography and lot size) and it is installed in an identical configuration. The water pressure is great but I have a few questions.
1. I found that I have sufficient pressure to run three aones at the same time. I combined the wires from three valves and wired them to one zone on the Hunter Pro-C controller. Do I risk damaging the controller or the valves by operating in this fashion ???
2. I used a 75 psi pressure relief valve (same as my neighbor). When the pump is running there is a slight flow from the prv and the pressure gauge is at about 90 psi. The maximum operating pressure for the pump is 130 psi. Is there any problem running in this configuration ??? If I need a higher psi prv can you recommend one ???
3. My neighbor's system runs at about 120 psi and his 75 psi prv is not opening. Is there an easy way to test his prv ???
Thanks to everyone for their insights.
The controller should do it.But if you are operating above 100 psi,make sure your velocoties,pipe sizes are correct,Water hammer is not your friend...Upper
Wow, that's some really good volume! Can you tell me what motor/pump you're using?
The pump is a Berkeley SSHM-2, 2 horsepower. It has been up and running for about a month and I'm very happy with it so far.
The pump sits on a floating dock. I have about a 50' (maybe 75') vertical rise and about 400' horizontal run from the lake to the front yard of my home. The pump intake is 1 1/2" and the output side is 1 1/4". I'm running flexible vinyl tube (a Silverline product) from the pump to the lake shore and 1 1/4" PVC from there to the valves. 3/4" PVC from the valves to the sprinkler heads. Lots of head pressure to overcome but it does a fabulous job.
Quite possibly you will pop the fuse on the controller. Most are designed to run 2 loads... one zone plus the pump start relay. You are running 4 loads...3 zones plus the relay. Best advice, contact the controller manufacturer for answer.
Thanks for the info. I have a 1.5HP pump and similar plumbing. If the pump dies I will strongly consider the larger motor.
http://www.pumpbiz.com/shopping_prod....asp?pcid=5768 says it's self-priming, but the bulleted item says: "Self-priming design - Once initially primed, the SSHM-2 will automatically re-prime cycle after cycle." Does that mean it a foot valve is not required? Or can it create a suction and draw water a certain amount of vertical feet??
I don't know the answer to your question. I use a foot valve in my application. The owner's manual shows the installation with a foot valve. Copy this link into your browser to go to the owners manual.
Before I purchased I asked questions on the Berkeley web site and also Pumpbiz. Both companies were very responsive to my questions and quick with their replies.

BERLIN, January 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
The market leader in international performance marketing announces over 130% growth and $60 million in revenue in 2013 making them the #1 fastest growing company in Germany in the performance marketing category.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140117/663832 )
glispa, the leading performance marketing platform for mobile and digital entertainment clients, saw record growth in 2013, with revenues and profits up by over 130%. In view of these results, glispa is now the fastest growing private company in the performance marketing sector in Germany. The company specialises in planning, launching and scaling global, multi-channel, performance based marketing campaigns for mobile and digital entertainment clients.
Delving deeper into the results, it is evident that glispa's specialisation in mobile and digital entertainment has paid off. The number of active campaigns has increased over three years by 350% to 4000, and the number of clients has doubled from 312 in February 2013 to 600 at the end of 2013. Gaming, which has been a significant category over the last couple of years, has grown 859% since 2010. glispa's clients have also enjoyed impressive results, with the company delivering more than 15 million installs and acquisitions monthly in 2013.
glispa uses its own technology to implement and manage campaigns, including WisdomKeeper, a unique, in-house system for campaign optimisation and tracking, which uses past campaign data to ensure maximum ROI for both mobile and digital entertainment clients. More propriety tools to further improve campaign effectiveness will be launched in 2014. With the help of new technology, the company will be able to offer even better reporting and campaign optimisation, with user retention and enhanced monetisation as the main aims.
In addition to new technical features, plans for 2014 include further expansion into emerging markets with a focus on the BRIC countries. After securing its position in Europe and North America, glispa has expanded its focus to other markets in recent months and seen a great deal of growth coming from the BRIC countries. In China, for example, glispa is already working with forty of the top fifty online companies.
Commenting on the 2013 results and future plans, Tim Nilsson, Managing Director of glispa, said, "2013 saw huge growth with very strong results for both us and our clients. With our newly planned technologies we are confident we will continue to deliver and retain a large critical mass of quality users through our global publisher network. Continued reinvestment into emerging mobile markets will be important for us to help our large German, American and Chinese advertisers secure a market leading position."

Lehman Brothers CFO Erin Callan joined in the ongoing public debate on work-life balance this week, telling the world she had regrets over the sacrifices she made for success, and prompting renewed buzz on the topic.
More from Shine: Sheryl Sandberg on Women, Work and the Need to "Lean In"
"I can't make up for lost time," she wrote in a Sunday New York Times opinion piece, "Is There Life After Work?" In it, Callan, who resigned as CFO in 2008, describes how work always came first for her, often at the expense of family, friends and her marriage (which eventually ended in divorce). It also got in the way of her starting a family, though she is now remarried and has stepchildren.
"I missed having a child of my own," she writes. "I am 47 years old, and Anthony and I have been trying in vitro fertilization for several years. We are still hoping."
More from Yahoo!: Survey Shows Telecommuting Provides Better Work/Life Balance
Reactions to her piece have been thoughtful and numerous, continuing the chatter sparked by Anne-Marie Slaughter, Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg and Yahoo!'s own Marissa Mayer.
"If employees lean in, only to keel over on to the boardroom table out of fatigue, something is wrong," writes Andrew Hill in the Financial Times Monday, referencing the title of Sandberg's new tome. "The book and Ms. Callan's lament expose a problem with the system, not just with the people in it. Managers ought to be creating the conditions to get the best work from all staff, not simply to extract the most work from a determined few. If employees are driven, or drive themselves, to unproductive and unhappy extremes, the whole corporate economy suffers."
Chiming in for Bloomberg Business Week, Sheelah Kolhatkar writes, "No one could have ever accused Callan of not 'leaning in.' The daughter of a New York City police officer and a stay-at-home mom, Callan grew up in Queens, N.Y., and then attended Harvard and New York University law school." She added, "For most of history, it was men who were sometimes known for working themselves to death. Perhaps it's a perverse triumph of feminism that women feel free to do the same."
Aimee Groth of Business Insider called Callan's piece "chilling," and declared, "She's living proof of why people need to protect their work-life balance."
Callan, whom the Daily News refers to as "the Greta Garbo of the fiscal meltdown," went from Lehman Brothers to Credit Suisse for a short stint before basically disappearing from public view. That's when, writes Patricia Sellers on CNN Money, who profiled Callan for Fortune in 2010, she "quit that job, and never looked back," eventually marrying her firefighter boyfriend whom she knew from high school and settling down for a quiet life in Florida. Several Tweets linking to her piece asked some version of, "Whatever happened to Erin Callan?"
She explains how work took over her life gradually in the New York Times piece. "I didn't start out with the goal of devoting all of myself to my job. It crept in over time," she writes. "Each year that went by, slight modifications became the new normal. First I spent a half-hour on Sunday organizing my e-mail, to-do list and calendar to make Monday morning easier. Then I was working a few hours on Sunday, then all day. My boundaries slipped away until work was all that was left."
She also writes, "Sometimes young women tell me they admire what I've done. As they see it, I worked hard for 20 years and can now spend the next 20 focused on other things. But that is not balance. I do not wish that for anyone."

Lost in a Muddle
Obama's frustrating, unfocused speech on Iraq.
President Barack Obama's speech from the Oval Office Tuesday night was a strange muddle—a televised prime-time address that lacked a bottom line, a consistent theme, a clear road to the future.
He announced the end of combat operations in Iraq, right on schedule. But he equivocated on what comes next in that much-improved but still war-torn land.
On the one hand: "There should be no doubt the Iraqi people will have a strong partner in the United States; our combat mission is ending, but our commitment to Iraq's future is not."
On the other hand: "Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility. Now, it is time to turn the page."
On the one hand: "Because of the drawdown in Iraq, we are now able to apply the resources necessary to go on offense [in Afghanistan]."
On the other hand: "As we wind down the war in Iraq, we must tackle those challenges at home [jobs, deficits, energy independence, and education] with as much energy and grit and sense of common purpose as our men and women in uniform who have served abroad."
On the one hand: "No challenge is more essential to our security than our fight against al-Qaida."
On the other hand: "Our most urgent task is to restore our economy and put the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs back to work. … [This] must be our central mission as a people and my central responsibility as president."
None of this is wrong. All the pieces of what he said are worth saying. But what was he saying overall? Which pieces did he mean to emphasize most? What made the message worth the high profile of a prime-time address to the nation? (His last speech from the Oval Office, dealing with the BP crisis, also fell a bit flat. Maybe he should accept that his strengths aren't served by the format.)
Clearly, everyone wants to turn the page on Iraq, and I suspect that no matter what eruptions take place there in the coming months, you'll have to do just that to read much about the place. Iraq is off the front burners of national policy, and it will be off the front pages of every American newspaper.

For a second, it felt like I was in the middle of some cliché Lifetime movie, only I'm no Meredith Baxter-Birney. I've lost stuff before — car keys, remote controls, an aquatic frog — and generally found them under the couch and in the case of the frog … fossilized. But I've never lost a person, and certainly never my child.
I was terrified. All I could think was how was I going to tell My Lovely Wife, knowing that every time I heard Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" I'd remember standing in a Chick-Fil-A, the room spinning, clutching a couple of straws and those stupid packets of Heinz ketchup packets and trying not to scream.
The place was pure chaos. Two days before Halloween and Chick-Fil-A decided to have a fall festival, complete with pumpkin patch, ring-toss, bouncy house and petting zoo. Jellybean was in heaven, running before realizing, "I'm starving." Inside, her mood plummeted faster than the yodeling mountain climber in that "Price is Right" game.
I knew she needed to eat, so we placed our order, picked out a booth and waited for my name to be called. In such situations, I always want to use my rock star name, the one that would let me check into hotels without being harassed by the throng of girls who worshipped me.
Some dreams die hard.
Plus, it'd be funny to hear someone shouting, "Shasta! Shasta McNasty!" But this time I went with plain "Brett." When I got back from with the tray, Jellybean was gone.
The panic set in the second I saw that empty booth. I thought about faces on milk cartons. I thought about missing posters at Walmart. I thought about "Unsolved Mysteries." I thought about John Walsh and his son, Adam, playing videos games in Sears before vanishing.
I thought, "I knew I wasn't ready for this. I knew I'd do something stupid like taking my eye off of her for one second."
I thought about the bathroom. Jellybean loves going to the bathroom in a restaurant to see if she can reach the sink, to hear her voice echo and squeal when the hand dryer roars to life. She likes being a "big girl" going into the bathroom by herself and getting annoyed because I insist on waiting by the door.
"I need some help," I told the girl at the counter, asking her to go look for my daughter in the bathroom. As soon as she walked out, I knew Jellybean wasn't in there. I thought, "this can't be happening."
We need to call the police. We need to review the surveillance footage. We need to set up roadblocks. We need to start questioning everyone. That dude in the cow costume handing out candy looks creepy, suspicious.
This is what terror feels like.
"Maybe she's in the playground," the Chick-fil-A lady said.
"But she would've asked … would've told me … we've been over this a million times," I try and say but am too busy pushing through the crowd.
There she was, grinning and pulling off her high-tops. I wanted to hug her. I wanted to spank her. I wanted to yell. I wanted to cry. I never wanted to let go of her again.
"I wanted to play," Jellybean said, sensing that something was wrong. "I'm sorry."
After that, we had a long talk about wandering off — a talk that didn't last nearly as long those two or three minutes felt when I thought Jellybean was gone. Those few minutes were the longest of my life.

CNET editors choose the best 802.11ac networking devices, including wireless routers.
The Advance N900 DB Wireless Dual-Band N+ Router is one of the best Belkin routers in a long time. Compared with others on the market, it's also a decent choice if you need a fast and robust home network.
With top performance and friendly pricing, the Trendnet TEW-818DRU is a excellent choice for those wanting a robust home network.
The Trendnet TEW-812DRU is the most affordable 802.11ac-enabled router on the market, and it offers excellent performance.
The Linksys E4200 v2 makes a great upgrade to the original version and an excellent investment for those who need a fast, feature-rich, advanced, yet easy-to-use router for the home or even a small business.
For advanced and professional users, the Asus RT-AC68U Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 Gigabit Router is worth every penny thanks to its stellar performance, solid build, and bounty of useful features.

The Amped Wireless RTA15 is a decent Wi-Fi router, but better firmware is needed for it to live up to its high cost and our expectation.
Despite the novelty of 802.11ac support, the Belkin AC 1200 is a mundane, though decent, Wi-Fi router.

"Elements Unknown: Abstraction" at Harbor Village Gallery in Ventura
Dorothea Heger and Robin Tripaldi join in their art explorations during a duo show, "Elements Unknown: Abstraction," at Buenaventura Art Association's gallery at Ventura Harbor. The show is ending Monday, and both artists will be present at a closing reception from 3-5 p.m. Sunday.
Heger has painted professionally for 13 years, while Tripaldi has painted full-time for six years, but both are lifelong artists who create nonobjective, abstract expressionist works, often in mixed media.
For Heger, the media mix includes acrylic paints and ink on canvas, watercolor paper and illustration board with collaged elements such as metal, glass, plastic, and fiber and other natural materials.
According to Heger, she begins a piece with tension, "a feeling to create," then uses intuition and feeling to process each part of the work and gradually relaxes. Heger said it's energy-draining, but in a rewarding way, and completing a painting leaves her feeling energetic and fulfilled.
The show showcases abstract pieces she calls "calming and peaceful" and some mixed-media artworks that are more free, experimental, exciting and riskier.
Tripaldi also paints in acrylics, uses them in her mixed-media pieces, and works in encaustic, a process employing beeswax and resins to fix colors to a surface.
"I'm excited to be involved in promoting encaustic painting, painting with a molten wax mixture. While it's an ancient technique, it has only experienced a revival in the last 50 years, beginning with Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg," she said.
"I choose to work abstractly because, for me, it's an instinctive, primal, letting-go process based in pure expression rather than illustration," Tripaldi said. "My eyes and hands become an extension of my subconscious spirit."
Her selections feature some "loud and proud" acrylics and some small encaustic pieces, she said.
"The theme that generally runs through my work is the spiritual connection we all have to the universe," Heger said. "In this particular show, my intention is to challenge the viewer to visually explore nonobjective or abstract work."
Tripaldi's aim is similar. "I like to refer to my paintings as my 'inner landscapes.' While my paintings are an extension of my own personal journey, I invite the viewers to experience their own personal journeys of discovery through my art."
Both have examples of their works on the Web, at http://www.dorothea-art.com and http://www.robintripaldi.com.
Hours are from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday and Monday (Sept. 29-30). Harbor Village Gallery is at 1591 Spinnaker Drive in Ventura Harbor Village.

The Savvy Shopper
Jeanne Vogt
An enchanting boutique for..
Your little prince or princess!
Children's Couture is really an enchanting boutique for any little royalty! I spoke with owner Debbie Frederici who was so excited about her shop. She kept pulling out more little outfits to show me, each one was adorable and unique. I would have a hard time choosing just one! She carries sizes preemie to 14. There is a whole range from Juicy Couture. There are ruffles, ruffles every where! From little skirts to darling shorts with a ruffled edge. The little skirts came in soft fabrics and lots of colors. The rhinestone embellished tops topped them off! I loved the crocheted caps finished with a big, big flower, or find a head band with the big flowers, oh so cute on your little darling's!
Debbie carries a full line of pj's hats, socks, booties and shirts for the little sports babies in your life from Seminoles to Gators.
I am always in the girls department because of my two little grandchildren I really liked the little sleep sets with a tiered pink nylon long gown and a matching sheer nylon duster to top it off by Laura Darein sizes 2T - 14. Hard to find communion dresses can be found here. Hand made kids jewelry by Tarina Tarantino. All kinds of cute stuff for their hair.
There was plenty to choose from in the boys department from number shirts to embroidered or smocked rompers for the new born. But the cutest was the Fire & Rescue red slicker and rain hat with flames dancing around the bottom of the slicker and tiny little red boots to go with it that looked like fire trucks! Or the leather-like aviator jacket with all the emblems on it at $62 was a hit. A grandma came in and bought four of them in different sizes for her little ones. The boys jamies with crabs, airplanes or dinosaurs would make any little boy smile.
There was also a selection of maternity wear but as Debbie stressed, FUN maternity wear! Tees that state when baby is due. All kinds of belly creams. Sonogram frames that say " my little butterfly inside" , other frames, of course I picked the one that said "I love Grandma!" There were gifts for the mom like the Lampe Berger that perfumes the air in 4 distinctive collections. The matching embellished flip-flops for little girls and mommies came in all colored rhinestones.
I couldn't get over the adorable assortment of unusual toys. A dressing table and bench fit for a princess with a nylon net skirt, a pink desk and chair with a crown. Tiny pianos in black and pink. Thomas the Train peddle car, $358 or an airplane peddle car or a hook and ladder truck that you ride on that any boy would love. You are invited to tea with the princess, porcelain tea sets or for the really little ones a colorful tin set on a tray called Summer Bugs. A pillow that shouts me, me, me ME!! Storybook series dolls from all the nursery rhymes that have a music box inside and their heads move back and forth, feature even the smallest detail, $20. Tents, and all kinds of stuffed toys in all sizes from Big Bird to Elmo and Oscar and lots of soft teddies.
For a sweet baby gift, a linen pillow with the child's name, birth date, weight and length printed on it.
An unusual store for your very special little people!
Children's Couture is located at 13550 Reflection Lakes Parkway Suite 4-402 in Ft. Myers.
Hours: 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturdays

Hey guys, it's Serena here! Now, as some of you out there may know already, I like to do everything that my sister Venus does. Us lil' sisters are quite the jealous type! Well the point I'm making is that a couple of weeks ago she wrote a blog (which I'm sure you all read with great interest) for our very own Sony Ericsson WTA Tour website, and this week it's my turn! I can't believe they convinced me to do it, but here I am and I would like to share my experiences with all the fans out there.
Well, I'm fresh from my trip to Moscow; can you believe that I'm playing my third event in a row? I can't! I don't think I've ever done that in my career before, but I'm feeling good and determined to make a good run at the end of the year since I hardly played this summer. I had not been to Moscow in 10 years... Can you believe I've been around that long? I can't, I still feel like a teenager... Well, nonetheless, it has been 10 years since the last time I was there - scary. Moscow is an interesting place. I hung out a bit with Kuzzie, saw some interesting things, none of which I can really talk about here, but for sure I had a lot of fun there, played some good matches and picked up some valuable points (yeah!)
For all of those that didn't follow, I got to the finals there and now I'm in Zürich, Switzerland, where the chocolate is oh sooooo good - but shush, don't tell anyone that I ate two today. That's my limit, I swear, otherwise I'll be on the practice court much longer than my hour and 15. I haven't been at the tournament here in probably 10 years as well. I can't wait to make my long awaited return to action. I have been having so much fun playing this fall. My first match is against the tricky but talented Patty Schnyder - make sure you tune into the live scoring!!!
The highlight of the past couple of weeks has been qualifying for Madrid, which we announced today. That's so cool. I feel as though I should be there. Now, with a lil' work and dedication I've made it offically to Madrid. I never would have thought that back in January before I played Australia, and I'm really proud of myself and the strides I've made to get back to this level after two years - no easy feat. I hope my little girls (aka quadrupeds - dogs!), Jackie and Laura, who have been keeping me company, are equally as proud!
P.S. I have also relaunched my website: serenawilliams.com. It's way more slick and up to date compared to the previous incarnation. You guys have to go check it out because it's hilarious. I also write a relationship blog there as well... Where do I get the time?? It's a long story - an important one - but one we will have to talk about!
Well it's late here in Zürich and I would love to write more but I'm a bit tired and I have to play tomorrow. I'm so sleepy, I haven't slept in 36 hours (the life of a jet-setting tennis player is not all it's cracked up to be...)
Good nighzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[quote user="Saint"]well, even known that Maria is late and sometimes kind of sort with her doodles, I like Maria's more[/quote]
The posted piece makes Serena sound almost sane... [:P] But just catch a press conference to remind yourself what you're really dealing with. "Relationship blog"? [:O] That's frightening.
Love the part about never before playing 3 weeks in a row. I bet that's true enough. [H]
She spends only 1 hour and 15 minutes on court?????????? Seriously??? And she calls that hard work?? It is not possible...only 1' 15''...uh uh..not a chance...[^o)]

Jen's Yoga Moves
Stability-Ball Workout
6 Easy Pilates Moves
No Equipment Needed
Balance Your Way
Alwyn Cosgrove, owner of Results Fitness in Newhall, California, developed this no-crunches-required workout. His theory: "The abdominals are spinal stabilizers, so they respond better to work done standing versus lying down. On your back, the spine is supported, taking the workload off the abs."
Start by working three or four of these moves into your regimen no more than three times a week to avoid overuse. In two weeks, try the entire routine at once. You won't feel a burn as you do with crunches, so complete only 10 reps per set to prevent injury. Rest for one minute between sets. You'll need a 3- to 10-pound weight.

Saint Women to Take on Cross Division Rivals During Road Swing
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The University of North Georgia women's basketball team dropped a pair of Peach Belt Conference West Division match-ups, including a chance at revenge against the Columbus State University Cougars, last week. The Saints will now hit the road for a pair of cross division games.
North Georgia (8-13, 6-8 PBC) will first travel to Florence, S.C. where the Saints will face the Patriots of Francis Marion University on Valentine's Day, Thursday, Feb. 14 at 5:30 p.m. Following that game, the Saints will make their way up into North Carolina where they will tangle with the Braves of the University of North Carolina Pembroke on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 1:30 p.m.
As a team, the Saints are connecting on 41.0% of their attempts from the field and were led last week by Mimi Hill's strong performance. The junior forward has now scored double-digit points in each of the last six games including a season-high 30 last Saturday against the Cougars. In the last six games, she has averaged 20.2 points and 7.7 rebounds per game while shooting 60.5% (49-81) from the field and 22-27 (81.5%) from the free throw line.
Last week, sophomore guard Stephanie Huffman eclipsed the 500-point mark at home against Columbus State. She averages 11.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game while shooting 42.5% from the field and has played all 40 minutes in the last four games. She averages 37.5 minutes per game, having not left the court in 11 games this season.
Jaymee Carnes continues to lead the team with an average of 18.3 points and 9.9 rebounds per game. The junior forward is a 43.8% shooter from the field and averages 34.0 minutes per game.
Francis Marion (10-9, 4-8 PBC) has gone 7-3 at home this season and currently occupies the fourth spot in the PBC East standings with a slight lead over UNC Pembroke and Lander. The Patriots have won three of their last five games including wins over the Braves and the Bearcats last week.
The Patriots average 69.9 points per game while shooting 41.5% as a team and they are led by Tiara Gause's 11.3 points per outing. She has started in all 15 games she has played in averaging 27.0 minutes per contest while shooting 43.2% from the field.
Dee Gray has started all but one of the 17 games she has played in this season averaging 10.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. She shoots 35.8% from the field while Erin Pinkett has come off the bench for most of the season, leading the Patriots from three-point range. She has made 34 treys this season with the next closest being 11 by Briana Robinson.
UNC Pembroke (10-12, 4-9 PBC) is 5-3 at home this season. The Braves shoot 37.4% from the field as a team and average 58.7 points per outing but have lost two straight games and three of their last five.
The Braves have just one player who averages double-digit points, Jazmine Kemp with 10.5 points per game. Kemp, a sophomore forward, is a 47.3% shooter from the field and averages 6.7 rebounds per game, which has her tied with Kierra Haney for tops on the team.
Behind Kemp, four players average between 7.4 and 7.7 points per game. Amelia Partin and Chandrica Fuller are second on the team with 7.7 points per outing and Partin leads the team with 1.8 three-pointers per contest while Fuller also averages 3.5 assists per game.

Nationally known singer Marilyn Maye bought a motor boat at Bahnsen's Sporting Goods in Omaha in 1968 and christened it "Maye Day."
The wordplay on the distress call "Mayday," she recalls with a chuckle, came about because "the idea of me and a ski boat would be a disaster."
Don Gibbs volunteered to tow her boat to Lake Okoboji, Iowa. "I didn't think anything would come of that," he said, "but we became really close friends."
Don, a retired Creighton University professor, is one of many friends that the "Amazing Maye" has made in frequent Omaha performances over many decades. But this weekend is different.
After numerous club and cabaret appearances, the American musical icon will sing for the first time with the Omaha Symphony. Tickets for her "American Songbook" shows at 8 tonight and 2 p.m. Sunday at the Holland Performing Arts Center range from $19 to $83.
Johnny Carson, who started his broadcast career in Omaha, dubbed her "Super Singer" during her record run of 76 appearances on "The Tonight Show." One night he looked into the camera after she sang and said, "That, young singers, is how it's done."
Maye is still doing it. Many of her old Omaha musical haunts are gone — Club 89, Angelo's, Caesar's West, the Flamingo and Peony Park. But she keeps going, figuratively skiing atop the warm waters of a nonstop singing career even at 85.
"I'm busier than I've ever been," she said this week. "I just keep moving. I love the audiences and the music. I've been receiving lifetime achievement awards, and I tell people I'm not through yet."
It's a lesson for others. If you're healthy and competent and you love your job, why retire?
"I don't know how to do anything else," Marilyn quipped. "I can't cook."
But she cooks onstage, still receiving rave reviews in New York and Los Angeles. Leonard Maltin said recently that he sat with dazzled show-business veterans on Aug. 23.
"I witnessed one of the greatest nightclub performances I've ever seen when singer Marilyn Maye took the stage at Catalina Jazz Club in Los Angeles," he wrote. "I've always loved her voice, but here I witnessed her mastery of an audience, her savvy and showmanship."
Says Gibbs, her Omaha friend of 45 years: "She is absolutely one of the finest singers we have, and the fact that she still sings as well as she ever did is simply astonishing."
He says he once was "sort of a groupie," having heard her sing in New York, Kansas City, Mo., Las Vegas and elsewhere. "I even saw her sing at the Kansas state prison."
Marilyn was born April 10, 1928, in Wichita, Kan., the only child of Kenneth and Lyla McLaughlin. At 7, Marilyn began winning talent contests as her mother accompanied her on piano.
They lived in Topeka and Des Moines, where she sang on radio as a teenager, and she eventually became a staff vocalist in Louis�ville, Ky. She then was booked into The Colony, a supper club in Kansas City, which turned into a long-term gig.
She was "discovered" by TV star Steve Allen. But if not Steve Allen, wouldn't the next person with a national TV show have discovered her?
"Who knows?" Marilyn said. "I sang five nights a week for 11 years at The Colony in Kansas City. You can have great talent and go undiscovered. So much of it is chance and being at the right place at the right time."
With a movie or miniseries about Carson said to be in the works, Marilyn recalled that Johnny always would pop his head through the doorway of the makeup room and say, "Glad to have you back, Marilyn," but that she never got to know him well.
"His delivery was so creative, and he was just the best," she said. "His great talent as an interviewer was that he really listened to what was being said."
One of Marilyn's dearest Omaha friends was Dr. Lee Bevilaqua, athletic physician for Creighton University as well as for jockeys at the old Ak-Sar-Ben racetrack. He owned a horse that he named "Sound of Maye."
Marilyn sang at the 1998 funeral of the guy everyone called "Doc."
Gibbs was a friend of Doc's, and that's how he came to tow the boat to Okoboji, where he jokes that Marilyn became "the terror of the lake."
She may not water-ski anymore, but she still loves Lake Okoboji, where she has sung for 57 summers in a row. Unlike skiing, her singing does far more than skim the surface.
"She has a real way of telling the story of a song," Gibbs said. "Some of the things she does are real acting."
She loves teaching the art of singing in classes, and she loves performing. Later this month, she is booked again at the New York club 54 Below. She also has sung recently in New York at Feinstein's and spoke with singer Michael Feinstein about his performance last year with the Omaha Symphony.
This will be her first time to perform in the 2,000-seat Peter Kiewit Concert Hall.
A Philadelphia critic once wrote that calling Marilyn Maye a jazz cabaret singer is like calling Picasso a painter. It's true, but it leaves a lot out.
This weekend the versatile Maye won't leave a lot out. And when it's all said and sung, the "terror of the lake" will leave lots of happy fans in her wake.
