Pete Maki is in his seventh season as the Lions' top assistant coach and was promoted to associate head coach during the summer of 2012. Maki serves as Columbia's pitching coach and recruiting coordinator.
The Columbia pitching staff has been a model of success under Maki's leadership. In both the 2012 and 2013 seasons, during Ivy League conference play, the Lions have held the lowest team ERA (3.34-2012, 1.89-2013), held opposing batters to the lowest batting average (.250, .213), racked up the highest number of strikeouts (140, 153), and given up the fewest hits (151, 123).
The 2013 pitching staff set the program standard for strikeouts in a season, sitting down 357 opposing batters. As a staff, the Lions ranked 29th nationally with a 2.48:1 strikeout to walk ratio.
Columbia also set a new program record with 12 saves in 2013. The final save of the season came at the NCAA Fullerton Regional Tournament when Alex Black capped a 6-5 win in the 13th inning over New Mexico. Columbia held the Lobos, the nation's highest ranked offense, scoreless over the final seven innings to earn its first NCAA victory in school history.
In the 2013 MLB amateur draft, closer Black was selected in the 29th round by the Kansas City Royals. Following the draft, starting pitcher Tim Giel signed a free agent contract with the New York Yankees. Giel was one of four Columbia pitchers to earn All-Ivy League accolades in 2013. Starters David Speer and Joey Donino received first and second team recognition, respectively, while reliever Kevin Roy joined Giel as an honorable mention selection. Since Maki took over pitching coach duties six years ago, the Lions have had 13 All-Ivy League selections at pitcher.
In 2012, senior right-hander Pat Lowery was named first team All-Ivy League and Stefan Olson gained honorable mention All-Ivy honors for the second straight year. After the 2012 season, Lowery was selected in the 21st round of the Major League Baseball draft by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
In 2011, Maki helped guide sophomores Tim Giel (second team) and Stefan Olson (honorable mention) to All-Ivy League accolades.
In 2010, Columbia's pitchers led the Ivy League in team earned run average for the first time in 23 seasons, when the 1987 staff led the nation with a 2.12 staff ERA. The Columbia staff also set a then school record for strikeouts in a season with 293. The Lions were also one of the best teams in the nation at limiting walks, allowing just 2.73 bases on balls per nine innings to rank ninth nationally.
During that 2010 campaign, sophomore Pat Lowery posted a 5-3 record with a 3.46 ERA and held opponents to a .224 batting average on his way to Ivy League Pitcher of the Year honors. Junior Dan Bracey was a two-time Ivy League Pitcher of the Week and finished the regular season tied for the league lead in strikeouts. As a staff in 2010, Columbia's pitchers had better than a 2.5:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, one of the best in the country.
Maki reunited with his former head coach Brett Boretti when he joined the Columbia coaching staff in February 2008. A 2004 graduate of Franklin & Marshall, Maki was a left-handed pitcher under Boretti's tutelage at F&M.
"First and foremost, Pete is an excellent teacher," notes Boretti. "I like his style of communication, and he has been a great fit for our program and the young men with whom we work."
Maki previously served as an assistant coach at the University of New Haven from 2006-07. Maki oversaw the pitching staff that led the East Coast Conference in earned run average and strikeout/walk ratio in both 2006 and 2007. In those two seasons, three of his pitchers went on to play professionally.
"I feel he learned a lot from [head coach] Raphael Cerrato at New Haven, who is one of the best young coaches out there," Boretti says. "That helped him make the transition to Columbia."
Maki graduated from Franklin & Marshall with a bachelor's degree in psychology and sociology. During his senior season, he earned six saves as a closer, and posted a team-best 3.42 ERA. He was named the team's "Cy Young" award winner.
"Pete was a very smart player who overcame a lot of adversity (injuries) to make himself into an excellent pitcher," Boretti adds. "He pitched at the highest levels of college baseball, including the Cape Cod League."
Maki, who hails from Woodbury, Conn., graduated second in his class at Nonnewaug High School, and was an all-state academic choice in his senior year. He and his wife, Elisabeth, live in New Jersey.

How to calm allergies with local honey
Belive me! I have started dancing 2 days ago and dancing for about 10-20 mins. And wow lost three pounds already. I eeigh about 132
I'm 19 and am trying to loose fat and I found dancing for me has helped. I have the usual excercise circuit as well as my dance circuit to help me. I find choreography helps because if you choose high paced, intense choreography and learn it and practice it over and over it helps. I recommend when doing choreography dances to help loose weight is Kpop choreography. NOT gang am style but from other artists like SNSD, SHINee, Infinite, TVXQ, they all work. It's fun to do and u break into sweat instantly. Highly recommended for anyone.
I'm 14 years old and my weight (nearly 200 pounds) is just out of control. And I am at risk for diabetes because it runs in my family. I'm also extremely short; I am only 5 feet tall and so all the fat is compacted onto my body. I've been dancing consistently every day for at least an hour, sometimes I get up to two hours or more. I drink plenty of water and am trying to eat better, but my problem is not what I eat but how much.. I've been working on portion control and hope to lose at least 70 pounds. I'm just glad there are others out there with the same problem who have lost weight dancing. I hope it works well for me too. I can already see the improvement in my face.
I started dancing a week ago, and let me tell you how good i feel before i always felt bloated, a lil muffin on the top and i was loosing all my pair of jeans not to mention how awful i felt in them, i got lucky my room closet doors are all mirror i turn up my pandora to Techno music, and some hip hop & regeaton and NOW I FEEL AMAZING MY BELLY IS GOING DOWN AND SO IS THE REST!!!!YOU DONT really need to go and pay for classes just find a room in your house you feel comfortable and dance like noone is watching!!! :) 30-45mins, unleast 5X times a week or 3
I THANK GOD FOR DANCING!!! im 14, and I was 224lbs. and 5'10... I danced everyday for 30 minutes or 20 minutes on the days I was not feeling well or I had too much homework, hip-hop and mexican, only one 5 minute break, loads of water and fresh fruits and veggies and lean meats.. now im down to 150lbs. I wish I could tell the months, but I was not really tracking them because I was just down to my knees like HOW DID I LOSE ALL THIS WEIGHT SO FAST?! I would say dancing is better than the treadmill or any other workouts because dancing gives you quicker results, and if your not seeing them soon enought DON'T GET DISCOURAGED!! keep going!!!!!!!! I had cheat days, like sometimes I ate mcdonalds or burger king but that was only once every two weeks. Soo... YEAH! :D OH! make sure you have a before and after picture, when you get down to your goal it will EXTREMELY IMPACT YOU like you will start crying :) good luck!!!
I agree…dancing is a great form of fitness. In fact, I created a dance-fitness program based on club-style dance moves that I teach in Southern, CA.The reason I created it was because it was my solution to reaching my personal fitness goals of slimming down and shaping up. I lost 70+ lbs from doing it and have kept it off. If you check out http://hypnautycs/ you'll find a blog with many tips on dancing and how to use it to reach your physical goals.
I'm in a dance groupand wherein the world street championships and i started when i was 6 and i'm 13 now and i've stayed a size 8-9/9-10 ever since Lol and it makes you feel morw confident if I where you i'd start dancing now! :-D xx
Omg ever since I started dancing in order to lose weight it has become really fun to loose weight befor it was just the same painful workout that sometimes I didn't even want to get in the morning to do my work...
I encourage others to try it you guys are going o love it!!!!!:)
I absolutely enjoy my zumba class....it incorporates so many different types of dancing. Can't always make it to the gym, so i purchase the songs from class online & have my own zumba party @ home! I even put aside time to come up with my own choreography...& that burns major calories!
i love dancing at my house. I go upstairs in the bathroom and crank the music up!I notice i started to loose the fat and gain some ab lines!i dance for like 30 min plus.Just keep moving and make sure you move your whole body!do a little bit of everything!My personal favorite is belly dancing!
I desperately want to lose hip fat and thighs .. if I dance for about 45 minutes a day, how long will it take for me to lose weight from those areas? Please help!
Dancing IS a great way to exercise! I always dance by myself in my bathroom (it's huge!), but it's mostly as practice for when I go to clubs, haha. I always work up a sweat, though I do need a break after 15 minutes of intense dancing, since i don't exercise except for during these little private dance sessions. I'm 5'4" and dancing helps me maintain a 101-104 lb figure. When I don't exercise and start to eat, I can go from 101 lbs up to 109 lbs within 2-3 days, haha.
I love dancing! I have always enjoyed it. I have a gym membership and used to do the treadmill thing and a few circuit machines. I lost a pound or two, but I wasn't getting toned up doing these.
Started doing hip hop, salsa, cumbia, salsa, and anything in between, on my own, in the gym's exercise room three to four times a week. Besides having the time of my life, I have developed a dancer's figure...what a plus. I have added free weight lifting which helps with endurance and strength and also helps with weight loss. I am tiny at 5 feet, but I have lost five pounds doing this.
I started dancing about a week ago after my friend girl and I were talking. I was telling her I had started walking every morning. She told me that she was dancing. I said what kind of dancing, she said bascially hip hop. My kids enjoy it also.
I have lost 4lbs consistantly in 5 weeks dancing 3 times a day for 30 minutes in my living room.I still have 40lbs to go but I,ll get there.Ihave 4 kids and I never thought I would ever get the weight off Iweighed 170lbs I am now 150lbs.I didnt change what I eat as much as how much I eat.Of course I dont drink sodas only diet,I went from whole milk to fat free milk and I dont use alot of salt,I dont eat fried foods only once in a while.I never thought I could change my eating habits but after the first week it got easier.Now it really takes little effort.
this is such a good idea, i am going on holiday soon to america and want to look good in a bikini i cant wait to get groovin' x
i just go on the wii fit
I enjoy dancing its a puerogative of mine stated by my friend dupri, I can sure dance and love it more than you know
I am a thirteen year old girl, my town has no gym near by where I live, I started dancing at a community center with a dance instructor, I used to be so self consious about the size of my stomach and the size of my thighs ever since I started dancing at the community center eight weeks ago my stomach is flat and my thighs are slim.

Bellevue >Restaurants >
Mexican >Ooba's Mexican Grill
555 108th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA | Directions 9800447.615454 -122.196906
Monday-Friday 11:00am-2:30pm
Neighborhoods: West Bellevue
Very good fresh mex – They use good quality, fresh ingredients and put them together in a very tasty way. The service is quick so it's great for lunch.
Ugh – Bellevue Ooba Tooba: overpriced + cheap ingredients = bad dining experience. I figured I would try their grilled vegetable burrito, assuming I would get the typical bell pepper and onion with those vegetarian black beans and minted rice, minimum. Oh no, what I got instead was steamed, NOT grilled, carrots, broccoli, yellow squash, zucchini and mushrooms. Wait a minute, this is a mexican grill, right? Not a teriyaki joint! To say the least it was completely disgusting. I picked out all the stir fry mixed vegetables and ate the beans and rice until I got frustrated and tossed the last half. Yuck. Never again.
Great lunch spot – If you work in downtown Bellevue, do yourself a favor and stop by Ooba's. Their grilled pork burritos are the best. Match it with the tangy green salsa (not the jalapenos) and you're in for a taste sensation.
Disappointed – I really wish I could say something positive, but I was disappointed in their food. I tried it twice - once I got the scallop tacos and they were chewey/rubbery and fishy tasting. The other time I ate there, it wasn't anything special either. Unfortunately being a short distance from my workplace, It's not on my lunch spots to go to anymore.
Grills- yummy! – The grilled chicken is awesome, I especially love the 'Chicken Achiote Tacos'. The creme agria and the minted rice is yummy as well. Love the yukon gold potatoes in a quesadilla.
huge step up from Taco Time – i have been eating at oobas for 4 years and the food is always fresh, great and consistent...good salsa and chips...excellent burritos....grill plates are great.....minted rice is great
Editorial Review – Located across from the transit station, this restaurant serves burritos, fajitas, tostadas, tacos and quesadillas with low-carb options.

Movie Summary | Infoplease.com
The Great Gatsby (1974)
Description: This third film version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic 1925 novel was one of the most hyped movies of the summer of 1974. Robert Redford stars as self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby, who uses his vast (and implicitly ill-gotten) fortune to buy his way into Long Island society. Most of all, Gatsby wants to win back the love of socialite Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow), now married to old money Tom Buchanan (Bruce Dern). Calmly observing the passing parade is Nick Carraway (Sam Waterston), Gatsby's best friend, who narrates the film. Francis Ford Coppola's screenplay is meticulously faithful to the original novel, but Theoni V. Aldredge's costume design and Nelson Riddle's nostalgic musical score won the film its only Oscars. The huge supporting cast includes Howard Da Silva, who played Wilson in the 1949 Great Gatsby, and a very young Patsy Kensit as Daisy's daughter.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Pine Inn Workers on Strike
February 8, 2012
Carmel. Workers from the Pine Inn and Tally-Ho Inn walked off the job today, Wednesday, February 8, in a two-day strike. As corporate profits soar and the economy rebounds for the rich, workers are striking in protest of management's demand to eliminate longtime employer coverage of family health insurance.
The 28 Workers are asking to maintain health care coverage for their 29 children and 13 spouses. Pine Inn and Tally-Ho Inn workers, members of UNITE HERE Local 483, have been without a contract since January 1, 2011. The workers are housekeeping, bell, front desk, and maintenance employees. Currently, Pine inn housekeepers make less than $25,000 a year in wages.
The hotels' wealthy owner, Richard Gunner of Fresno, has not said he cannot afford to pay for family healthcare coverage, only that he does not want to. Gunner also owns the Santa Barbara Inn, Gunner Ranch vineyard in Fresno, as well as real estate and a number of development projects in the Santa Barbara and Fresno areas.
"This is another case of the rich squeezing workers and our families," said Jose Vigil, a Pine Inn houseman of three years.
The workers are also protesting over alleged violations of workers' rights by management. Last week, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Office of the General Counsel stated that it did "not condone the Employer's conduct" in briefly surveilling and writing down the names of participants at a union rally in November. The Office put Pine Inn on notice that any further violations of workers' rights during the next six months would lead to formal proceedings against it.

Daily Briefing, Feb. 25
Story Highlights
The U.S. Nordic combined team looks add to its historic haul this afternoon
The most dominant team in the Olympics might be Canada's men's curling
Kim Yu-Na leads the pack heading into tonight's free skate
VANCOUVER, B.C. -- Gold to Kim Yu-na of South Korea, silver to Mao Asada of Japan, and a bronze for the ages to Canada's Joannie Rochette. That is E.M. Swift's prediction for the Ladies' figure skating title, the showcase event on a day which also features medals handed out in men's aerials, women's cross-country, Nordic combined, women's hockey and women's giant slalom.
What to Watch
(All times Eastern)
Canada skip Cheryl Bernard leads her squad against the Swiss in the women's curling semifinals (12:00 p.m.) at the Vancouver Olympic Center. The Canadians finished 8-1 in the round robin and beat the Swiss 5-4 in the opener. Sweden will play China in a rematch of last year's world championship final.
The second run for the Ladies' Giant Slalom, postponed yesterday due to inclement weather at Whistler Creekside, goes today at 12:30 p.m. Three Austrian skiers rank among the top four racers including Elisabeth Goergl, the first run leader by 0.02 (1:15.12). France's Taina Barioz is in second (1:15.14) followed by Austrians Kathrin Zettel (1:15.28) and Eva-Maria Brem (1:15.38). Defending champion Julia Mancuso was in 18th after being placed later in the race for her run because she was on the course when teammate Lindsey Vonn crashed. Sara Schleper posted the best time (1:16.19) of any American and sits 14th and 1.07 behind the leader from Austria.
The U.S. Nordic combined team looks add to its historic haul as the Large Hill individual event begins at 1:00 p.m. with the jumping. (The cross-country part of the event starts at 4:00 PM). Americans Bill Demong, Todd Lodwick and Johnny Spillane, who won silver in the normal hill individual event and team competition, are among the medal threats. France's Jason Lamy-Chappuis won the individual normal hill event earlier in the Games is the pre-race favorite. Other contenders include Austria's Felix Gottwald, Norway's Magnus Moan, Tino Edelmann and Eric Frenzel of Germany.
Finland and Sweden always seem to play big hockey games -- this was the men's final in Turin -- and today the women's hockey teams meet for the bronze medal (2:00 p.m.). These are the two best teams in the world behind Canada and the U.S. but they are far behind the leaders and far ahead of the also-rans. Each has a terrific goalie -- Noora Raty for Finland and Kim Martin for the Swedes. Raty, a freshman kinesiology student at Minnesota, stopped 45 shots against Canada. Martin led Sweden to a win over the U.S. in Turin, though she was shelled here by the U.S. and Canada. Pernilla Winberg is the top scorer for Sweden with five points.
Sweden has never won a medal in the women's cross-country 4x5 km relay (2:00 p.m.) but that could change today behind Charlotte Kalla (who has won gold and silver here) and Anna Olsson, Magdalena Pajala and Ida Ingemarsdotter. Germany, Norway and Russia, who won in Turin, are also contenders. Double gold winner Marit Bjoergen will ski for Norway. Morgan Arritola, Holly Brooks, Caitlin Compton and Kikkan Randall will ski for the U.S.
The most dominant team at the Olympics? It might be Canada's men's curling team. The undefeated squad (9-0) plays Sweden (5-4) in today's semifinals (5:00 p.m.). They are the first team to go unbeaten in the 10-team Olympic Round. Second-place Norway (7-2) plays third-place Switzerland in the other semifinal
Kim leads the pack heading into tonight's free skate at the Pacific Coliseum. "She was absolutely breathtaking, both in her technique and in her artistry," says Swift. Kim scored a season's best 78.50 points followed by Japan's Asada (73.78), Canada's Rochette (71.36) and Japan's Miki Ando (64.76). Americans Rachael Flatt (64.64) and Mirai Nagasu (63.76) round out the top six. All will skate in the fourth and final group tonight. The order (selected random among the top six) is as followed: Flatt, Ando, Kim, Asada, Rochette and Nagasu. The competition begins with the first group at 8 p.m.
China's Jia Zongyang led after qualifying in the men's aerials followed by American Ryan St. Onge, Switzerland's Thomas Lambert, Dmirti Dashinski of Belarus, and Jeret (Speedy) Peterson of the U.S. The 18-year-old Jia will be the final of the 12 skiers tonight (9:00 p.m.) on Cypress Mountain. World Cup champion Anton Kushnir of Belarus failed to make a clean landing and crashed in qualifying, opening up the competition. The crowd will be behind Canada's four-time World Champion Steve Omischl, who is looking for his first Olympic medal in his third Olympics.
Canada is going to win the gold medal game today (6:30 p.m.) in women's hockey. At least that's the opinion of members of Team Sweden and Team Finland. "The USA has a great team, but overall Canada is stronger," says Finland coach Pekka Hamalainen. "If I had to put money on one team, it would be Canada." Swedish goaltender Kim Martin agrees. "It was harder to play Canada," said Martin, who added if Canada and the U.S. played each other 10 times, the Canadians would win six games. Canada has won the last two Olympic medals, though the U.S. has taken the last two world championships. Five of the top eight scoring leaders are Canadian, led by Meghan Agosta with 14 points. The U.S.'s top scorers are Jenny Potter and Natalie Darwitz; each has 11 points. Defenseman Angela Ruggiero is the team's pulse and physical force. Here's one interesting stat to keep in mind: The U.S. has scored 40 goals on 183 shots during the Games for a 21.86 efficiency tournament, the best in the tournament. Canada is second at 19.91 (46 goals, 231 shots). The game will be broadcast on MSNBC.
By The Numbers
3.6 million -- Canadian viewers who watched Canada's semifinal victory against Finland in women's Olympic hockey on Monday.
3.5 million -- Viewers who watched Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir skate to their ice-dance gold.
5 -- Gold medals for Sweden in the men's cross-country skiing relay, the most golds in the event for any country. Sweden won the men's cross-country skiing 4x10 km relay Wednesday.
Quote of the Day, Part I
My name is Odd-Bjoern Hjelmeset. I skied the second lap and I f----- up today. I think I have seen too much porn in the last 14 days. I have the room next to Petter Northhug and every day there is noise in there. So I think that is the reason I f----- up. By the way, Tiger Woods is a really good man.
Quote of the Day, Part II
Not too bad. Of course you hope to go into the night in a different way. I wish I would have been in the Holland Heineken House or at medal plaza before I went to bed.

Special to The Herald-Mail
What could be more fun than packing a picnic lunch and heading outdoors to spend a nice summer day with your family and friends? Don't let this fun day wreak havoc on your diet. Follow these tips on how to keep this summer ritual a fun and healthful experience.
Traditional picnic foods tend to be high in calories, fat and sodium, but they can also be unhealthy from a food safety aspect as well.
The good news is that you can easily enjoy a healthful picnic, with a little planning and tweaking, without sabotaging your diet or causing unnecessary health risks associated with improper food handling.
Try not to arrive famished. Have a snack ahead of time so that you can take your time and make wise choices. If you are not the host, bring a dish to share with others.
Walk the perimeter of the food table before filling your plate. This way you'll decide which foods you want to eat, rather than gathering spoonfuls of everything you see as you walk around the table. This will help avoid having an overloaded plate of high-fat, high-calorie foods that you feel obligated to finish. You might also consider bringing smaller plates, which will force you to make wiser choices.
Don't let the sun spoil your fun — literally. Because picnics typically occur in the summer months and out in the sun, you must take proper precautions to keep your foods safe. Foods that contain protein or dairy cause the highest concern for potential foodborne illnesses.
Make sure you pack foods — especially meats, cheeses, and mayonnaise-based salads — in a cooler with plenty of ice or ice packs. Keep food chilled until just before serving. Also, use common sense and keep food out of direct sunlight when possible. Foods should not be left out longer than two hours, or one hour max when temperatures reach 90 degrees or higher. Also, keep foods covered as much as possible.
Make sure you pack your picnic basket full with plenty of seasonal fruits and vegetables. It's a great way to have crunchy foods that are not only low in calories, fat and sodium, but also packed with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and offer numerous health benefits.
Choose healthful meat alternatives. Try grilled chicken rather than the old standby fried chicken. Use lean beef when making burgers, or perhaps ground turkey or meat alternatives such as veggie burgers. Skip the cheese to reduce fat and calories even more. You can also use whole-wheat bread or wraps as an alternative to white bread. Sandwiches and wraps are easy to transport and can be packed with nutrients if you use fresh vegetables and fresh salsa.
Be careful with typical picnic salads such as macaroni salad and potato salad. Mayonnaise-based salads are not only high in fat and calories but also a concern for food safety. If you choose these salads, try using low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise or even dressings made with vinegar or juices. If making pasta salad, try using whole-wheat pasta to boost the fiber content. Also try tossing in fresh vegetables to provide a nutritional boost.
Keep dessert light. Stick with fresh watermelon or other fresh fruit for dessert, rather than indulging in the high-fat cakes, cookies and pies. If you choose to treat yourself, keep portion sizes small. A nice alternative to cake with high-fat and high-sugar frosting is angel food cake topped with fresh strawberries and low-fat, whipped topping.
Try to keep active. Try stepping away from the food table to pace yourself. With that in mind, make sure you have plenty of water, sparkling water, low-calorie electrolyte replacement beverages, unsweetened decaf iced tea and other low-calorie beverages to make sure your guests stay well-hydrated.

Special to The Herald-Mail
Tired of the same old grilled foods at your family picnics? Hot dogs, hamburgers and barbecue chicken seem to find their way onto the menu at every event.
Next time, break free of the ordinary with this guilt-free salad. Fresh, earthy, romaine lettuce is lightly grilled and accompanied by ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers and salty Parmesan cheese. Even the diehard carnivores in your group will love this simple vegetarian offering.
Shrimp, chicken or even scallops make a wonderful addition but are certainly not necessary.
— Joe Fleischman is executive chef at Meritus Medical Center. He has 20 years of experience as a professional chef, culinary instructor and speaker.
Grilled romaine salad
1 head romaine lettuce, sliced lengthwise
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 large tomato, sliced
1 small cucumber, sliced
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, shredded
Preheat gas or charcoal grill to medium heat.
Lay romaine lettuce on flat work surface, rub leaves gently with olive oil, making sure not to separate them from the stem, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place lettuce on preheated grill and cook for 3 minutes per side or until lettuce begins to wilt.
Remove lettuce from grill and place on a serving platter, arrange tomato, cucumber and cheese around lettuce.
Serve with grilled or toasted bread or crusty roll. Makes 4 as a side dish.

We have built a pretty strong group of players and I wanted to know if you guys and girls wanted to really let out some aggression by inflicting pain and shooting each other mercilessly.
If we can get 20 of us together we can do a private party and get entry/gun rental discounts and host our own private games so we don't need to deal with any other piss ants lighting us up.
Something you guys would be interested in?

Human adenovirus-36 (AD-36) is an unwelcome visitor already because it causes colds, infections like pink-eye, and small intestine inflammation.
Now Dr. Magdalena Pasarica of Louisiana State University has found a peculiar reason to dislike it even more: it also provokes adult stem cells to develop into pre-fat cells. Her research builds upon the findings of her colleague, Dr. Nikhil Dhurandhar, who coined the term "infectobesity" to describe virus-caused weight gain.
It's a topic that drew his attention when he noticed that chickens infected with a deadly avian adenovirus became paradoxically fatter before they died.
Dr. Pasarica obtained adult stem cells from fatty tissue extracted from liposuction patients. In a test tube, she infected half of the cells with AD-36. By the end of a week, the uninfected cells were unchanged, but most of the infected cells had developed into pre-fat cells.
The more virus inserted into the cells, the greater the fat cell growth that was observed. Moreover, the exposed cells collected fat faster than normal, so that the infected tissue ended up with not only more, but also fatter, fat cells.
A previous study found AD-36 in thirty percent of obese people, but only eleven percent of lean people. It's already known that fat secretes hormones and signaling proteins and that inflammation is associated with fat.
Given the extensive interaction between the immune system and fat tissue, the researchers believe that viral infection, like environment and genetics, could be a significant factor in obesity.
Dr. Parisca has found a particular gene in AD-36 that appears to be directly responsible for the virus's promotion of fat. More research is called for, however, before anti-obesity therapies targeting the virus can be considered. Meanwhile, it's back to the old tried and true: exercise and diet.

Our Night at Arabian Nights
This past Saturday, Leap and I surprised the kids with a trip to Arabian Nights Dinner Show in Orlando. We already had our tickets (discounted of course) but I upgraded them to the VIP Experience for $15 more per adult and $12 per child. The upgrade included the Sneak Peek Stable Tour, Priority Seating (we got 1st row!) and half off drinks the entire night. Even with the extra fee for the VIP Experience, I count Arabian Nights as a Frog Family favorite and a GREAT value.
Here's how it went…
Check-In & Appetizers
We arrived at Arabian Nights at 7 p.m. and checked in for the VIP Experience. After check-in, we joined the rest of the guests in the Great Hall for appetizers, which included pasta salad, fresh vegetables and dip, and chips and salsa. There was a beautiful belly dancer who weaved through the crowd for photos and quick lessons for willing guests. (FYI: Leap is no belly dancer!) She also performed short numbers on the stage and kept the crowd updated on when and where the night's events would take place.
Sneak Peek Stable Tour
From the Great Hall, VIP guests were led through the Palace of Horses arena to the stables where we got to meet and interact with the real stars of the show…the horses! It was such a treat to pet these amazing animals. Tad and Lily's favorite part was getting to sit on one of the large draft horses. Leap liked being able to wander through the stables and peek into their stalls. The best part for me, other than taking pictures of the kids on the horse, was watching the cast member paint the horse who would later appear in the Native American Tribute part of the show.
Pre-Show Fun
After the stable tour, Leap took the kids down into the arena for stick horse races with other young guests. I went ahead and found our seats and captured some great videos of the little cuties having fun. (Sssshh, don't tell Tad I used the video camera since he is the videographer of our YouTube videos after all!).
Our Meal
I know everyone is curious about the food since this a dinner show we're talking about and dinner show food is notoriously 'blah.' Our server, Tiffany, was great and reminded us that if we weren't completely satisfied we could order something else. Well, I'm happy to report that all four of us cleaned our plates; it was much better than expected and there wasn't a single complaint. I had the pot roast on a pastry puff and Leap had the pork loin with Marsala sauce. Both entrees were served with mashed potatoes, vegetables and a roll. Tad and Lily both had the chicken tenders and macaroni and cheese.
Tad and Lily had so much fun in the hour and a half before the show that I'm pretty sure they thought that's what we had come to do. So when the actual performance began, their eyes lit up, their mouths gaped open and they kept repeating one word…WOW! (Leap and I did the same thing, actually.)
The storyline was simple enough for Tad and Lily to follow, but between the talented performers and horses and the beautiful costumes, I don't think they paid much attention to it.
All-American girl and champion rider Sherry Smith discovers she is actually the Princess Scheherazade. Along with her genie guide, Abracadabra, she takes the audience on a journey around the world to find her prince. Beginning in Europe, we saw the Royal Horsemen Quadrille (watch the video). They were so regal and the costuming and music fit the theme perfectly. From there, we were led to Latin America to see a Spanish Toreador handle the garrocha pole masterfully.
The next part of the show, and in the opinion of all four Frogs, the best part of the show, was the Gypsy Acrobats. Picture this: man standing on top of very large horse, woman standing on man's shoulders, all while the horse is galloping in a circle. Now picture this: same man standing on horse with another horse following closely behind, man does back flip onto second horse, all while the horses are galloping in a circle. The entire act was truly amazing. Watch a video of the Gypsy Acrobats here.
The last part of the show took us to America where we watched Western Square Dancing (on horseback) and back to Arabia where Princess Scheherazade found her prince, Prince Khalid. Spoiler alert: The Black Stallion reappears in the final act and is ridden by the Princess…with no hands! Watch a video of the Black Stallion here.
Post Show
The gates opened and in rushed ALL the horses from the show, without saddles or bridles. To watch them run, play, buck and roll around in the middle of the arena was a perfect way to end a fabulous evening at Arabian Nights. Watch a video of the Post Show here.
See picture from our night at Arabian Nights on our Facebook page.

Happy Planning!

The Honda XLR125 was launched to appeal to the sub-15bhp learner market, it was a shame Honda didn't make full use of the regulations and give the little XLR a few more bhp. As it is, it's got its flaws but still provides lots of fun for newbies as well as proving a useful town hack for more experienced riders.

The Buell X1 Lightning evolved from the M2 Cyclone and features the same short wheelbase chassis, with Showa suspension on the early run base models, then WP kit on the later X1 Lightning, and souped up White Lightning variant. With more grunt than the M2 the X1 feels like more fun and the build quality improved somewhat as time went ...

We are all abroad because of our 10th birthday celebration. In Spain for example for Goacademy, or in Japan for the Amakusa party for which we released the "Sakura" Mix.
All the orders from the past days will be shipped on monday or tuesday, please be patient.
Thanks for your undertsansding.
Stop searching!
As we wrote earlier, the Phase 2 presales period has ended and we're expecting to receive the Phase 3 tickets any day.
Hold on, they'll be back online in a very few days :)
Boom Festival is a creative platform that involves everyone in a spirit of respect, justice, humility, devotion and collaborative work.
Boom Festival have invited Filteria and Nebula Meltdown to play this year! And they have chosen Suntrip to be their Ambassadors in Belgium.
There are 3 presales phases. One, already finished, was for those early birds of you; only online via the Boom Festival website. The 2nd phase is ending on March 29th, in just 3 days. From March 30th, the 3rd phase will start and tickets will cost 160€ instead of 140€ !!! So better purchase now!
As usual Boom set the prices taking into consideration the different economic realities of each country.
For those of you living in Belgium, just purchase your tickets here in our webshop! Other countries of origin are accepted too naturally (especially Netherlands and Luxembourg which have no ambassador).
IMPORTANT: You can't come knocking to our address in Gent, it's our office, not a shop.
In case of questions, please submit them to firstname.lastname@example.com. Note that you'll have to pay the paypal fees (3.4% + 0.35€ for BE) if you're paying via Paypal or Credit Card. There's no fee if you're paying via bank transfer (most of you in BE).
All other details are on the Boom Website.
Responding to popular demand, here are new tshirts series:
- Our Special Limited Edition 10 Years Anniversary T-Shirt
- New prints or the "DotSun" t-shirts in red, green (lighter than before), purple, and a new color: a sweet honey orange!
Furthermore, we have reissued Filteria - Daze of Our Lives (SUNCD14) and E-Mantra Arcana (SUNCD17).
Both these albums have been out of stock for a while and they're so good that they really deserved a repress. Not mentioning we dislike seeing high prices for our cds on discogs.
They are both back as 300 copies only, with a specific quote on the artwork and the CD mentioning it's a limited reissue.
Meanwhile we've also introduced "social pricing", meaning you may benefit from special prices for Suntrip releases on our shop depending on your country. social "areas" are:
Apart from that, we're working on our triple-CD 10 years compilation, the tracklist will be complete in the coming days.
This goes together with a lot of birthday parties around the globe! Don't miss the Belgian one to begin with:
Filteria, Prana, Mindsphere, Crossing Mind, Anoebis... this will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Also we're going to release a new artist album of... SHAKTA!!!! We will release a cd with 7 hard to find/expensive to find vinyl/cd tracks, and 2 unreleased tracks from the 90s, with brand new mastering of course!!
And we even have another similar project in store...you'll see soon :)
Suntrip Records presents an album many were waiting for: E-Mantra - Nemesis! Finally you can order this masterpiece of modern goa-trance with a darker twist on the Suntrip shop & bandcamp!
But there is more news:
- we also added a lot of classics to our Suntrip site for order to today!
- within 3 days the limited Anoebis - 10 years Suntrip mix cd with some unreleased tracks will be available!
We hope this makes you all happy!
Never tell bad news without good news! The bad news, the new E-Mantra album "Nemesis" has 1 extra week delay, it will be released at most on January 31st.
You won't be disappointed: magician Emanuel Carpus decided to experiment with new sounds and the result is a 7th album that goes back to his "Arcana" roots, but in a darker, twisted, melodic and superpsychedelic way! Oscillating between hypnotic & acidic themes, Nemesis won't let you breathe a second! A mindblowing experience.
Now here's the good news:
Amakusa Records will release a mix-cd of Anoebis, as promotion of the 10 years Suntrip Records tour! The mix will be called "Sakura mix" which means Cherry Blossom in Japanese! Only 200 CDR's will be made, 50 for Europe, 150 for Japan! Price will be probably only a few euros as it is pure promotion! The tracklist is below! Look well, there are some unreleased goodies included!
Filteria - Filteroid
They should be both in our shop within 1 week, be patient :)
Boom Festival have invited Nebula Meltdown to play this year! And they have chosen Suntrip to be their Ambassadors in Belgium.
From January 1st 2014 we are entitled to sell Boom 2014 tickets. Basically there are 3 phases. One, already finished, was for those early birds of you; only online via the Boom Festival website. The 2nd and 3rd phases will last till April and July respectively. The fares table is below:
For those of you living in Belgium, just purchase your tickets here in our webshop! Other countries of origin are accepted too naturally (especially Netherlands and Luxembourg which have no ambassador).
The Suntrip team and its friends (Trance Dimensions, Neogoa, Shiva trance, DI.FM, 4CN Studios....) wish you a happy new year 2014!
There's no denying 2013 was a tough one, there were hardships, doubts, and eventually we achieved a wonderful year with some of our best releases to date (Nebula Meltdown, Filteria, Cosmic Dimension, Dimension 5...). Thanks to the artists who worked so hard to blow our minds.
I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart all those who've supported me during the treatment of the cancer that's been striking me since march; from the artists who dedicated me their works (Xerxes, Filteria, Merr0w...) to those anonymous people who wrote us or expressed in person their concern and support. Respects, I can assure you it helped. Also, Anoebis, my partner in crime, rose up to the challenge of managing Suntrip all alone during 6 months. Hats off :)
Now, 2014 will mark the 10th birthday of Suntrip. This is amazing... When we started on July 17th 2004, we never thought we go this far. But our brillant artists and our awesome audience showed Goatrance was still in the trancer's hearts.
Now we are standing on 32 releases over 10 years of existence, and this calls for a celebration: We will be doing a Suntrip 10 years world tour! Details will follow soon but you can expect to see us in 2014 in Germany, Japan, Belgium, Sweden, Spain, UK, and more!
Apart from that, we'll be starting the year with E-Mantra's new album: Nemesis!
Magician Emanuel Carpus decided to experiment with new sounds and the result is a 7th album that goes back to his "Arcana" roots, but in a darker, twisted, melodic and superpsychedelic way! Oscillating between hypnotic & acidic themes, Nemesis won't let you breathe a second! A mindblowing experience.
We'll also release a special multi-CD celebration compilation with original uptempo and downtempo tracks and remixes of Suntrip artsts by Suntrip artists!!!!
We are also waiting for the wizards or RA to complete their new album...we're constantly in contact with them and we're very confident it will happen this year, at last!!!
Many other projects are in the pipe, and there's some we can't unveil just yet. But be confident we'll be doing our best to make you dance out of your mind this year again!
Thanks for your support, enjoy 2014.
fabien mars & anoebis.
PS: you can still benefit from the EOY for a few days, don't hesitate to visit our shop.
YESSS!!! The Suntrip Christmas sales are there!! This is your chance to buy music cheaper, and to make your friends or partner happy with a good old fashioned piece of music!
These are the rules:
"1 in 3 Suntrip CDs bought is free, the cheapest items' prices are substracted and it only applies to the Suntrip CDs from the past 2 years (Shaltu onwards) AND the 2010 limited reissues, EXCLUDING packs (as they're already discounted)".
Enjoy your Christmas!

Day Spas >The Body Klinic
2012 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA | Directions 1910339.950514 -75.174376
M-F 10am-8pm, Sa-Su 10am-6pm
Neighborhoods: Center City, Center City West

Signature Facial with personalized treatment:cleansing, analysis, purifying exfoliation, extractions with steam, massage
Provided by CityGrid
Feel renewed with this body treatment of you choice: sugar scrub, aromatherapy or seaweed mud. A 30 minute massage and scalp mask is included along with a special Body Klinic Gift!
*I go to the Body Klinic after work for their "after work wind down." It it just what I need after a hard day's work. I also received the signature 60 minute facial a week ago. People ask me why I look so relaxed. I tell them my secret is the Body Klinic Day Spa.
The Body Klinic Day Spa is the best full service spa in the Philadelphia area. Whatever it is you need to make yourself look and feel better, you can get it there. I had a facial peel last week and went back for a full body massage after a long work day the following day. I also go for nails, waxing and facials. I can't get enough of the place.
Deborah White
I found The Body Klinic staff to be professional and friendly. It's clean and neat. I recommend the Body Klinic the body wrap I had was fantastic and i will do it again.
I can say it was different - I had the detox (body slimming) wrap and I guess it was good because I'm going back I got the package - loved the products line up in the bathroom . .
I went to The Body Klinic yesterday because I spend 10 hours a day in a desk chair and haven't been to the gym in months! My back was in pain and in dire need of a massage. The atmosphere was very peaceful and the staff was very welcoming. They were quick to recognize that I was new and had actually never been to a spa and salon before. I had come to just get a Swedish massage but decided to give their waxing and nail services a try and I'm glad I did! I'm definitely switching over now that I can get my spa treatments, waxings, and nails done all at one place!
I cannot recommend The Body Klinic Day Spa enough. I had a Brazilian wax done by the very nice lady. She did a wonderful job, didn't miss a single hair, and made it quick and painless. It wasn't uncomfortable or awkward either. Thank you very much for the wonderful job and relaxing atmosphere.
I love this Philadelphia The Body Klinic Day Spa. I've got my facial and eyebrows done there. They don't just go in there and wax, they really take a look at your brows and type of face and what is right for you! Had a massage there, too. Amazing stuff! This place is wonderful. Thanks, guys for a good job!
if you want to be scolded while getting electrolysis, this is the place for you.
I wanted to find a perfect gift for my wife's birthday,and I know that my wife loves going to day spa's. Also her job is extremely demanding. I thought ok well then perhaps a couple's guided massage will be exactly what we both need. This way I could learn how to relieve her stress anytime, and it will give us a chance to spend to more intimate time together. I found this really cool day spa. It was really popular on the internet, and had a lot of good reviews. Apparently, even celebrities go there. I thought if it's good enough for celebrity treatment than it'll be perfect for me. I called The Body Klinic,and made my appointment. The receptionist was professional, and very informative about describing the various massages,and treatments that the spa offered. On the day of the appointment, my wife,and I arrived at The Body Klinic, and the receptionist warmly greeted us. Our massage therapists Igal came shortly after. Igal was very detailed,and thorough in describing the proper breathing, and technique in delivering the perfect massage. I was very pleased with the service that we received at The Body Klinic,and would definitely recommend it to any couples or anyone that wants to receive a great massage.
great manicure at The Body Klinic – I arrived on time for my manicure, and pedicure appointment. Maggie was great. She did a great job of cleaning my cuticles. She was professional. I love the way that my nails look. She was thorough in removing callouses from my feet. She was very gentle in cleaning my feet. I even started to fall asleep. I would definetly recommend this spa to anybody.

A: clear golden body with a plume of white head on top. retention is OK with some pretty good lacing. carbonation looks a little lacking.
S: corn and little bit of rice. a little bit of bread too. some hops are detectable, but not much.
T: sweet malt and corn. bland. a little metallic. too metallic to be coming out of a bottle. sweetness emerges more as the beer warms. almost a little sugary.
M: moderate carbonation on a light body.
D: pretty bland and boring. the flavors aren't great and with the addition of the metallic component is a bit detracting.

I found this Singaporean Beer at Binny's Beverage Depot in Chicago and at Feldman's Market in McAllen, Texas. I must say this is a good beer from Asia, it has a simple but complex taste, goes down great, and does not leave you to bloated. It pours clear, with a light golden color, with white laces running up to the average head, which dissapates quicky. The body is solid, with decent carbonation, and has decent malt aroma. There is a slight metalic edge, but is overshadowed by a malty aftertaste.

500 ml can from LCBO. Served cold into a pint glass.
Appearance - Crystal clear pale golden color. 1.5 fingers of white head and some bubbles. Nothing spectacular but decent looking enough.
Smell - Slightly metallic with some grainy aromas and not much else.
Taste - Mild sweet grain taste and not much else. Drying sensation on the tongue after every sip.
Mouthfeel. Light body and medium carbonation. Rather thin feeling with a dry finish, but is surprisingly refreshing.
Overall - Ok, not a great beer by any stretch of the imagination, and not even a very good beer, but for what it is, it isn't terrible. Of course there are other options at cheaper price points that are better too.

11.2 fl oz. bottle, with no apparent bottled on or freshness date present. My second of these odd Asian lagers, this one from Singapore, acquired as part of a mixed six pack at the local Binny's. Expectations are average based on the style.
Poured into a Stone Arrogant Bastard pint glass.
A - Pours the typical lager gold - maybe just a shade darker than some of the others with two fingers of foamy white head with less than impressive staying power. Hardly any lacing to speak of. Typical appearance.
S - Smell is of grain / corn, huskiness, and a sort of pilsner / adjunct maltiness. Not a whole lot to be said. I guess it sort of reminds me of a Miller Lite, albeit maybe a touch more husky.
T - Taste follows the nose - husky / earthy / grainy, sharply metallic, some might say slightly nutty and/or grapey.
M - Feel is crisp, mostly clean, with a bit of stickiness / graininess lingering on the palate. Sharp metallic bite on the end. Dry, grainy finish. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Easy drinking.
Overall, typical imported lager fare. Easy to drink, mildly inoffensive, low on flavor - I could definitely see it pairing well with some spicy Asian dish though. In that sense, I would have it again. I just tried Singha the other day also (a lager from Thailand) which I think I prefer just a bit more. This one is more metallic.

Poured golden clear body. No head whatsoever.
This beer was poured into a glass, but still smells somewhat metallic.
I wish I drank this beer straight out of the fridge, it was out of the fridge for about an hour before I had the chance to drink it.
Actually tastes slightly better than the smell. Mostly of light flavored malts, and what I imagine is just corn. And still a slight metallic taste
Mouthfeel is fine, again if it was colder it would have helped.
Overall, a beer I only got because it was a $2 16oz at the food spot I was at and I really wanted a beer.

Another day, another lager.
Pours a clear golden color. The head is average, white with medium retention.
There is the familiar malty aroma with grains.
As well as the sweet taste at the beginning, followed by grainy body, coming together with nice bittery finish.
Drinkable, light with enough bittereness to freshen you up. Thumbs up.
