So what you are saying is I did not see John Gruden, Dave hart and Elvis eating at Burger King.
As the coaching carousel begins to spin, we just wanted to toss out a tip for all the folks who are hanging on every word, watching for every tweet, and listening for every murmur:
No coach will be seen in your school's town until after he's hired.
Every year at this time the rumors start to circulate that Big Name Coach A was seen eating dinner in College Town B… which means he's in town to take College B's job. (Even if that job hasn't officially come open yet.) The wife of Up-And-Comer Coach Y is seen looking at houses in College Town Z… which means a deal's already been struck to bring her husband to town as College Z's new coach.
But think about it — as under-the-table as ADs try to run their searches, would they really bring a coach or his wife to town and let them be seen in public?
In a word: No.
In two words: Hell, no.
Schools meet coaches or their representatives in big cities — Atlanta, Dallas, New York. They schedule the meetings to coincide with other business or gala events taking place in those areas for the sake of plausible deniability.
So if you read or hear that some coach was spotted at a local Waffle House or that his wife was spotted shopping for curtains at the local mall, don't buy it. Odds are, there's 0% truth involved.
Just a tip.

Farrah Abraham Sex Tape: Used, Unwashed Bikini For Sale!by Free Britney at .
The bikini used in the cover photo of the Farrah Abraham sex tape can be yours, a piece of cinema history courtesy of a hot piece of ... well, you know.
Vivid Entertainment, the porn studio behind the release of Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom, has put the bedazzled two-piece up for bids on eBay.
Opening price? A modest $500!
The hilarious listing advertises the Poolside Collection bikini as "used" ... and TMZ reports that you can take that literally. As in it hasn't been washed since.
You may now vomit on cue.
In fact, the piece of swimwear from the infamous bikini photo above shows "overt signs of wear, including fake tan stains and glitter from body lotion."
But, as the listing notes, that just adds to its authenticity.
You could buy a new one for much less, but without the aura. Bid now and you can own "Farrah's bikini ... straight off Farrah's body and into your hands."
So if you have an extra $500 on hand, and can free your hands from other activities involving the Farrah Abraham sex tape, um, go on over to eBay.
Sorry, that was just too easy.

Without Laws, Many Tanning Salons Would Allow Kids: Study
Missouri survey found operators often misrepresent indoor tanning as safe, even healthy
By Alan Mozes
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, Feb. 25 (HealthDay News) -- More than 40 percent of indoor tanning facilities doing business in Missouri -- a state where the practice is unregulated -- say that tanning is totally risk-free, a new survey reveals, with the vast majority indicating that their doors are wide open to children as young as 10.
The finding stems from what the researchers say is the largest poll of its kind to date, and could sound public health alarm bells, given the wealth of evidence indicating that tanning bed use significantly boosts the risk for developing skin cancer, particularly among younger patrons.
"There's considerable evidence to show that at an early age the pigment cells of the skin may be more vulnerable to damage," said study co-author Dr. Lynn Cornelius, chief of dermatology in the department of medicine at the Washington University School of Medicine, in St Louis. "And they're going to get more of a lifelong exposure, which we also know is related to the risk for skin cancer," she added.
"So the idea that people as young as 10 and 12 are allowed to tan indoors is a scary thing," said Cornelius, also with the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. "It highlights the need for new legislation, and the need to really educate parents to the risks to their kids inherent in tanning."
The findings are published in the March issue of Pediatrics.
Roughly 3.5 million Americans are diagnosed with a non-melanoma skin cancer every year, with about 20 percent of the U.S. population projected to develop skin cancer at some point in their lives, according to study background information. Among young people aged 15 to 39, melanoma is now the third most-diagnosed cancer.
Many experts cite indoor tanning beds as a critical part of the problem, with studies showing their use increases the risk for common non-melanoma skin cancers by upward of 250 percent, and for melanoma by 75 percent to 300 percent.
Nonetheless, the $5 billion-a-year tanning industry serves 30 million Americans, about 2.3 million of whom are adolescent boys and girls.
The World Health Organization specifically recommends that minors under the age of 18 not use indoor tanning facilities.
In the United States, tanning machines are federally classified as "Class I" medical devices, the lowest risk designation possible, on par with items such as tongue depressors and bandages. So there are no mandatory national performance standards, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is limited to issuing recommended guidelines. However, the study authors recommend that tanning devices be reclassified to make them subject to regulatory oversight.
California and Vermont have recently implemented under-18 prohibitions, with legislation pending in Maine. New York has restrictions on indoor tanning for those under 17. And 33 states do have some type of regulation on the books, ranging from parental consent requirements to public postings of artificial UV [ultraviolet radiation] risk, mandatory skin assessments and the provision of eye protection. But many argue such regulations are poorly enforced. And 17 states currently have no indoor tanning regulations whatsoever.
Cornelius and her colleagues conducted a phone survey of indoor tanning operators in Missouri, where indoor tanning is unregulated.
In 2007, the team trained two medical students to pose as adolescent tanning customers when calling 243 tanning facilities throughout the state to inquire about operator protocols.
Among the responses, nearly two-thirds of the facilities said they would cater to customers as young as 10, while on average 43 percent said that indoor tanning was perfectly safe.
While 40 percent of the operators said that skin cancer is a risk, 20 percent said that any related risk was eliminated "if the customer takes precautions." Four in five facilities said that indoor tanning would actually reduce the risk for getting a sunburn, while others suggested a range of related "health benefits." And only about one in five said that a pre-tan skin assessment was necessary, or that precautionary measures should be taken, such as applying sunscreen.

Best spot to hang out before/after the movies! – Located in the same complex as the new Plaza Cinema Cafe, Urban Flats is THE place to be before going to your movie. Enjoy one of their light flatbreads, seasonal entrees, or original martinis at great prices among a young and lively crowd downtown. They are famous for their "Wine Down Wednesday" event, where you pay a flat low cover charge and sample different types of wine all night. Their outdoor seating is in the courtyard facing Orange Ave, and is my favorite spot to get a drink with my friends and people-watch in the heart of the city.
My favorite flatbread is the Buffalo Chicken & Blue Cheese. It has a kick to it and goes great with their bread twists. Try their chocolate or coconut martinis if you're in the mood for something sweet - you'll find that you got yourself a dessert and a smooth drink all in one! Enjoy!

NewsPress Release: 9/18/02
MARLBORO, VT A speaker set to talk at Marlboro will bring students, faculty, staff, and member of the public back 85 years in history with the argument that not much has changed.
Theodore Kornweibel, Jr, a professor of Africana studies at San Diego State University, will speak on his latest book, "Investigate Everything": Federal Efforts to Compel Black Loyalty During World War I, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 24 in Apple Tree at Marlboro College.
Kornweibel has drawn the comparison between the terrorism faced by todays people to that of the African American population during the time of the First World War.
To demonstrate this comparison, Kornweibel writes: America awoke to find itself attacked by foreigners committing unthinkable acts of terrorism. The attack, heard and seen throughout the New York area, gripped the entire nation and shattered its sense of invulnerability and security. In the months that followed, enemy agents were rounded up, while rumors of still more sabotage multiplied. An entire ethnic group was stigmatized as disloyal. The FBI swung into action to ferret out suspects. Civil liberties took a beating. Individuals were targeted simply because of their religious beliefs. The President led the country into war, not to conquer enemy territory, but to make the world a safer place. America had been forever changed.
This happened, not in 2001, but 85 years earlier. In 1916, German saboteurs blew up ammunition warehouses on the New Jersey side of New York harbor causing an inferno visible for miles. Early in 1917, Germany launched U-boat attacks against American merchant shipping, propelling the nation into World War I. Almost immediately, whites suspected African Americans of being either disloyal, or the gullible dupes of German agents. Black editors and publications were threatened and prosecuted. So too were individuals who dared to question the war or the President. An entire black denomination, the Church of God in Christ, was charged with disloyalty and its leadership arrested. Led by the FBI, the federal government demanded unquestioning loyalty from the distrusted and persecuted black minority.
During his lecture at Marlboro, Kornweibel will address questions such as how Americans should respond to terrorist threats, the fate of civil liberties in wartime, and whether or not innocence is still assumed before proven guilt. He will look at the lessons to be learned today from the intolerance of the World War I era.
Kornweibel is well known for his works in the area of Africana studies. Most recently, C-SPAN has voiced interest in featuring him during a question-and-answer session on this topic. He is also the author of No Crystal Stair: In Search of the Promised Land, and Seeing Red: Federal Campaigns Against Black Militancy.
For more information on Kornweibels latest work contact Marilyn Breiter, Indiana University Press at (812) 855-5429. For signings, contact the author at (619) 594-1555, or firstname.lastname@example.com

@RoboMonkey: Thanks
@Cuervo: Haha yea really frustrating. There seems to be some natural law that as soon as i have put down the first few strokes, the subject moves away ...
@yongs: Thanks i will
Today's daily update:
- 3 pages of Kchen studies
- 1 head done from a picture in my "inspiration" folder (so it's a copy)
- 1 head from reference (King Kong)

Nice update. The second page of figures, and the head studies especially. That second head study shows a lot of personality, more of these and you'll move far fast.
Hey dude, nice improvment ! One thing that will make you improve is selfportraits ! try to do them, it's pretty hard at the beginning but i improved a lot with them ! Anyway, keep your stuff up, i'll come back soon
@Costau D: Thanks
@Walid D: Self portrait ... scary i've put one on my schedule for monday.
Not much to update ... graduation ceremony at business school. Hours of "you should be so proud of yourself bla bla bla" "well done etc etc".... free food though ...
I love the portrait of the beret man. Any ref used ?

Gotta say, I like how your style is coming about. What type of pencil do you use for your studies?
Hey there !
I like the picture of the guy with the berret. Looks awesome. About that guy above him: There is something going on with the eyes. I can't really make out what it is, but something seems wrong with it. Hm. Anyway, the rest of him looks real good.
You studies are sweet, too. That eye stands out, really good job you did there, man !

@justinkhuong: Thanks yes a movie still from the king kong movie.
@Costau D: 3b to 6b and thanks!
@RoboMonkey: Yea it's something with the eye on the other side of the nose. Eyes are always bugging me, also on the one im uploading today.
Hi Braintree, I must agree with Walid D. Do those SP, you should start right know, those are really helpfull .
Hahah, cool you got free food at school

@Lyno. Working on a SP right now uploading it tomorrow.
Life drawing session. I need to go darker in my shadows. and stop wasting pencil strokes
But first 3 pages of Kchen studies.
Tried doing some self portraits today. WHAT THE HELL?! it doesn't look like me AT ALL! the SP's suck. SO, i've decided im gonna do 1 sp a day until they suck less.
Also need to push my values ...
more from today:
-MMA studies
-Fashion studies
all done with a mechanical HB pencil.
Wow, you've improved so much from your first page... I'm really liking the portraits! You've inspired me to try and find some grey paper and white crayons, though I doubt they'll come out anything like yours. Lovely work, keep posting!
If nothing else, your daily productivity is seriously through the roof!
Every post you do brings you closer to your goal!
www.hel-looks.com might be a good ref site for you for some fashion.
Hope it helps. Keep up the figures, cya next time.

The CRIMSON DAGGERS
Hey Brain, those portraits are really getting good... especially the king kong one.. v.impressive. just a suggestion but try and spend more time working into some of your anatomy pictures.. for example, rather than the 30 seconds/ 2mins poses.. try a 20 / 40 / 60 min study.. really helped me when i was doin them for my course.. as i said tho just a suggestion
"...the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert..." -Johnny Cash
Vilppu and Kchen in my opinion are the best to study from. Your gestures are getting much better, but some are tending to look a little rubbery or like a bent hose try to overlap your lines more around the joints and important muscles to show structure.

@Elz. Thanks and good luck experimenting
@Matte_Art: hey thats a really cool site, didn't know that one! Thanks!
@Cuervo: unfortunately i dont decide the time. there's a guy with a stopwatch that decides how long time we have to draw. i think i'll start some anatomy studies from images though. To compensate.
@cole.ossus: Long way to go before I hit kchen quality thanks for the crit, will take it with me to the next life drawing session.
- Loomis eyes
- Loomis mouth
- Quick figure study
These latest self portraits are looking really beautiful, man especially in post 129, your proportions are getting really good! And it's just a fantastic rendering, too... The studies are of course looking great, as well.
Ars longa, vita brevis.
@sketcheth: Thanks about the proportions ... then todays update has shit proportions but as long as im taking 2 steps forwards and 1 step backwards it's fine.
Not much for today, too damn hot ...
- daily SP ... anatomy is TOTALLY off.
- cloth render study
- anatomy render study
Hey there !
If I had to criticise something in your drawing, it'd probably be the eyes. I mean, it's not like they'd suck, but as you already said, one can see that you're struggling with them more then with the rest of the drawing.
The portrait of the bearded dude a few posts back is really good.
You're also doing a good job with the drapery of the cloths in your recent study.
And the guy in the anatomy study is totally neat.
Visit my Sketchbook
Nice sketches dude. A pile of 'em too. Well done
Really digging that back study (back muscles frustrate me), and the portrait about halfway up there... really nice stuff. Keep up the pace, and the progress!
MY WEBSITE: PaintedSky.ca
MY SKETCHBOOK: Ook's Book - Karyl Craves Your Approval
Dude, that's absolutely right. And i bet you more often then not, you'll be taking a lot of steps backward, we all do. It's the journey that's important though, so enjoy it.
The rendering looks really nice, that is definitely looking good. I think you're doing the right stuff, just keep at it. The self portrait looks like a good start though I'm sure, as you know the face is too small for the head. The main issue seems to be the width of the features. The eyes and the lips seem a little squashed or overly foreshortened somehow. I'm probably wrong on this, but they just feel unnatural. ANyways, keep studying though, you are making progress, even if you can't see it. remember that.
Ars longa, vita brevis.
@RoboMonkey: Eye studies coming up Thanks for critting!
@Ookchk: Thanks ! i will!
@sketcheth: Helps alot knowing im on the right path I'll enjoy the journey, Thanks! about the portrait - yeah that jumped up and slapped me in the face when i opened my SB this morning
todays batch:
- Lots of sketches of animals from Copenhagen ZOO... damn animals never stand still
- character from ref - kinda half-assed it.
- 1 "normal" SP & 2 SP's with expressions and kinda exaggerated features.
Very nice drawings Braintree... especially the figures. It's obvious you do alot of life drawing and it shows in your work - that kind of study always make drawing better I'd love to see you apply your awesome figure work to more 'fantasy' or imaginative stuff out of your head! Can't wait to see more! Cheers
Why does it HURT?!!

@artjunkie: The schedule for next week is: figure drawing and imagination Thanks for posting!
todays stuff:
- head study
- eye study
more eyes tomorrow!
Todays daily update:
- 66 eyes
- Self portrait
- sci-fi version of SP
hey Brain, those eye studies are getting damned good. and the back study you did showing the tone was very good. The sci fi sp is something i wouldnt mind seeing more of... rather than your anatomy studies try to get some imaginative stuff going... get the concepts going mate!
"...the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert..." -Johnny Cash
This face is slightly distorted. As if every feature is sinking towards the center. But you can always run with it and exaggerated the rest of the features. You been working hard
Make a sketchbook happy, feed it a tip to improve!
@Cuervo: Thanks got figures from imagination on the schedule for today.
@Pigeonkill: Thanks! not too happy with the SP, and yes that mistake is quite obvious now that i look at it again.

With each post you seem to be improving more and more...
I don't really have any crits, you seem to know what you're doing / where to head.
Anychance I could get your schedule? Like do you have it pre-planned in advance? Or do you just do what you want to?

Napa >Food & Dining >
Bakeries >Butter Cream Bakery & Diner
2297 Jefferson St, Napa, CA | Directions 9455938.307700 -122.295600
Monday thru Sunday 5:30am - 6:30pm & Sundays 5:30am - 4:30pm
Citysearch Editorial Review – irst opened in 1948, this pink-and-white striped landmark in Central Napa draws die-hard locals like flies to a frosted donut. Tourists revel in the charm of being barked at by the less-than-charming waitresses, but locals know they're all dolls at heart. From short stacks to sticky buns to chicken-fried steak, the cheap (think 75 cents a donut) and caloric (don't think about that) food keeps some coming back seven days a week.
Awesome Pastries – I can't speak for the breakfasts, I'm more of a breakfast pastry eater than bacon and eggs, but I've always loved the pastries and donuts. I usually get a scone, apricot danish, or doughnut cinnamon roll, but the morning bun I had last week was incredible. I didn't even know they had these! The only thing more incredible than the taste was the price. It was only 75 cents compared to over $2 at another local bakery. The other prices are just as good.
poor service-worse attitude – I would describe Butter Cream Bakery in one word - can't - because that is all I heard and saw while I was there. Can't find your order. Can't help you. Can't get someone who can help. Can't call anyone. Can't look further than one clipboard. Can't take pre orders. Can't take checks. Can't take an order for a cake without payment in advance. Can't smile or be helpful.
What happened to the great bakery with the friendly help? They are gone.

Gold failed to punch through the $1,696 - $1,696 major resistance level on Wednesday to show $1,700 once again. The inability to do so alone caused investors and traders to lighten up long positions, as we saw a very sharp sell-off at the close in Europe.
(Related: Will Gold End 2013 Higher or Lower?)
Although major resistance was not broken during Wednesday's session, it closed right above it, and continued lower last night. Last night's low was $1,675, which puts it below the next support level. After seeing support at the $1,682 - $1,684 level for days, this will now be a tough area to trade back above, and we expect to sell the first test. At these levels, we are likely to see a consolidation that can extend as low as the $1,667 area. However, we maintain that only a close below $1,666.4 will signal a reversal that would press the market another $20 lower. However, a close below $1,641 should send this market down to test $1,600.
If you followed Tuesday's short gold trade, you are short from $1,684.0. Roll your stop down to break even at $1,684.0. Our price target remains $1,668.

September 24, 2013
By Jeff Simon
Editor's Note: This is the second installment of a five-part series on ways aircraft owners can improve their aircraft's performance through some preventive maintenance and TLC.
Chances are that your aircraft's performance is somewhat less than the "book" numbers in your operations manual. One explanation is that "book" performance numbers were gathered with an absolutely perfect aircraft, on a perfect day, flown by a perfect pilot. Another explanation is that someone simply fudged the numbers to get a leg up on the competition; but I digress. Regardless of whether any of our airplanes actually flew quite as fast as the original advertisements boasted, there is a lot that you can do to get reasonably close.
Start with the simplest item of all: paint. Believe it or not, the speed difference between a dirty aircraft and a newly cleaned and waxed one can be substantial. A 1997 CAFÉ scientific study tested a Mooney M20E with and without wax, documenting a 3-knot speed improvement for an aircraft that was already free of bugs, oil, etc. This was calculated to be the equivalent of adding 8 horsepower to the engine. If your aircraft has an oily belly and bug-splattered wings, you could improve your cruise performance by as much as 5 knots with little more than sweat equity invested!
Once everything is clean and shiny, it's time to turn your attention to how everything is fitting together on your aircraft. Start with a tour of all the doors on the aircraft. That includes crew/passenger doors, cowl doors, gear doors, and any inspection doors. Are they in alignment? Are there excessive gaps that can be adjusted? Do they close tightly? Every one of these items can cause excess drag. Keep in mind that how they work in flight is what really matters. A loose cowl can look fine on the ground, but expand and move as soon as air pressure fills the baffles. Next, check the aircraft's exterior fairings, making sure that they fit as tightly as possible without any obvious gaps, cracks, or misalignment. Depending on the situation, parts can be modified to conform more closely to the aircraft or small gaps can be filled with clear silicone. The goal is to ensure that the air flows as smoothly across the airframe as possible. Be sure not to ignore the underside of the fuselage and wings. These often-neglected areas are very important to drag reduction.
Propellers are another opportunity for efficiency improvements. All propellers are designed to exacting standards when they leave the factory, but they change a great deal in the field and become less efficient over time. Erosion is the main reason for this lost efficiency. Erosion occurs from dirt, sand, and rocks being pulled into the propeller while it's running. This begins by wearing off the paint, but continues to gradually change the profile of the propeller as the leading edge and propeller face wear. Another way that propellers erode is through intentional, and necessary, repairs and overhauls. Ultimately, the propeller loses at least some degree of efficiency. The best solution is to keep it clean, smooth any roughness in the leading edge and face of the blades, and be sure to wax it as well.
These few, simple tasks may burn up a Saturday or two, but the result will be a faster aircraft with little cash outlay involved (and a better looking plane as a bonus).
Next time, we'll get deeper into the aircraft and see if you're actually flying as straight as you think.
Jeff Simon is an A&P mechanic, pilot, and aircraft owner. He has spent the last 14 years promoting owner-assisted aircraft maintenance as a columnist for several major aviation publications and through his how-to DVD series: The Educated Owner. Jeff is also the creator of SocialFlight, the free mobile app and website that maps more than 5,000 aviation events. Free apps available for iPhone, iPad, and Android, and on the Web at www.SocialFlight.com.
Indulge your wild side and find out what you can do to your aircraft to improve true airspeed in the quest to win you bragging rights as the fastest (insert your aircraft here) out there.
The FAA proposes to supersede an airworthiness directive requiring modification of the aft main spar of some Diamond Aircraft DA40 and DA40F airplanes.

Spas >Eden Salon & Spa - N.W. 122ND
12200 Warwick Drive, Oklahoma City, OK | Directions 7316235.593917 -97.621691
Call for details
Neighborhoods: Warwick Estates, Northwest Oklahoma City
Worst Birthday Present Ever? RESOLVED – My father bought my sister a $200 gift card for Eden Salons for her birthday this year. She decided to spend the bulk of it on a "girl's day", taking my mom and I with her for pedicures on a Saturday. This was the only Eden location with slots open and now I know why.
We were kept waiting almost an hour for our 11 am appointment. Clients that arrived 30 minutes late for their earlier appointments were seen before us and we had arrived 15 minutes early. Others were offered drinks and something to read, we were left to sit.
There are only two pedicure stations so there was a further wait as we could not all be in the room at the same time. This was my first salon pedicure and frankly, I can do better myself.
I still had a visible callus while leaving the salon. I also needed to repaint my nails as soon as I arrived home due to them being smudged after my technician was told by another employee that I was "in the way" and "needed to dry anywhere else" because she had "a very important client coming in" so I needed to move. Flip flops were shoved on my feet and I was escorted back out to the waiting room for another 15 minutes while I waited for an eyebrow wax.
Two and a half hours later, we left with a disappointed birthday girl and $60 left on a gift card we may never use again.
UPDATE: Four months after our trip to Eden we have received a full refund for the purchase of the gift card hence the review change from 1 to 3 stars.
Average Would Be An Improvement – Unfriendly staff and lacking in basic texturizing techniques. Not on par
with the salon I expected them to be. Gave them two chances, will not give it another go.
A true dissappointment.
best okc hair salon day spa – Eden on Warwick Dr is the best hair salon I have found. Jeff does my hair. He does an excellent job with cut, color, and style. I have had trims by other stylist there also when Jeff was off. They are all good. Eden Salon and Day Spa is an upscale facility kept spotless clean. The manicure and pedicure is a real treat.

For desserts made with apples or peaches, a hint of cinnamon certainly adds a flavorful boost. The purpose of adding a spice should be to enhance the flavor and never overpower the main ingredient.
I have been served a beautiful slice of apple pie, but when I took the first bite, all I could taste was cinnamon. I like to taste the apples.
The following old-fashioned apple pie is a good example of the blending of a small amount of cinnamon with the delightful taste of fresh apples. Of course, if you prefer a little more cinnamon, you can add another half teaspoon and still get the wonderful flavor of the Granny Smith apples.
You will notice that I have added a little baking powder to the crust. This might seem like an unusual ingredient but I have learned that adding a little baking powder tends to make a flaky but more compact crust. This is especially good for moist fruit fillings.
Of course, if you don't like making homemade pastry, you might opt to use the refrigerated (not frozen) pie crusts. There are two in the box, which is perfect for a double crust pie such as this.
Old-Fashioned Apple Pie
Double Crust Pastry:
3 cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup chilled shortening
1 stick (½ cup) chilled butter
5 to 6 tablespoons ice water
1 cup sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 cups peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples (5 or 6 apples)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in bowl of food processor. Pulse two or three times to mix. Add the shortening and butter. Pulse until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal with just a few lumps about the size of peas. Add ice water gradually and process until mixture forms a ball. Remove from bowl and shape into two disks. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
To make the filling, combine sugar, flour and cinnamon. Mix well. Sprinkle over apples and stir to coat. (The butter and cream will be used later).
Preheat oven to 400. Roll out each portion of pastry to a circle about an inch larger than a 9-inch pie pan. Fit one crust in pan, trim edges and fill with the apples. Dot with butter. Wet the rim of the bottom crust with a little water. Place remaining crust on top. Trim and seal to the bottom crust by pressing around the edges with a fork. Brush top with cream to give it a delicately browned crust. Stick a fork into top crust several times or cut small slits to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. To prevent crust from browning too fast, cover the top loosely with a piece of foil for last 10 minutes of baking. Allow to cool before slicing.

Diagnosis - Do You Have Rhinitis?
Rhinitis is a horrible sounding name for a very common problem. Chances are good that you have had rhinitis if you have had sneezes and sniffles. There are 3 types:
viral rhinitis (the common cold
nonallergic rhinitis
, and
allergic rhinitis
. Many of the aggravating symptoms are the same, and prevention and avoidance is key to dealing with all three types. However, long-lasting symptoms must not be taken lightly since they can lead to
complications such as asthma, sinusitis, and skin conditions
Viral Rhinitis (The Common Cold)
There are more than 100 viruses that can cause a common cold. One way to know it is a cold is that you usually start to feel better a week or two after coming down with the first symptoms. If you don't seem to be getting better, your symptoms could be due to nonallergic or allergic rhinitis. Children are especially vulnerable to viral rhinitis because it is easily spread in the school setting. If you have children, then you are also more vulnerable. If symptoms last more than two weeks, you may need to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis.
Symptoms vary but can include:
runny or stuffy nose
itchy or sore throat
slight body aches or a mild headache
watery eyes
low-grade fever
mild fatigue
What to do:
Wash Hands. Wash often, especially after being in public places or before eating. Teach children to wash their hands at school.
Sanitize Surfaces.
Use a
broad spectrum disinfectant
to wipe surfaces where germs could lurk. Don't forget the doorknobs and handles around the house.
Don't Share. Do not eat or drink after others, even family members.
Avoid People With Colds. Try to stay away or move away from people with cold symptoms. Look at the health practices and sickness frequency when choosing a child care center. Wear a
if you must be around people with colds or in close quarters such as on airplanes.
Control Temperature and Humidity. To be more comfortable when you have a cold, keep your home's temperature warm, but not hot. Using a
or vaporizer to moisten your home's air can make breathing easier, especially in winter when air is dry.
Nonallergic Rhinitis
About 19 million Americans suffer from nonallergic rhinitis. It has similar symptoms to rhinitis caused by allergies, but there is no known cause for nonallergic rhinitis. Adults more commonly have nonallergic rhinitis than children. If your symptoms last more than two weeks but you do not have allergies, you could have nonallergic rhinitis. You may need to see a doctor for allergy testing to know for sure.
Symptoms include:
stuffy nose
runny nose
mucus in the throat (postnasal drip)
Although nonallergic rhinitis cannot be attributed to a single cause, there are things that lead to nonallergic rhinitis symptoms such as:
Environmental Irritants. Particles in the air you breathe including dust, odors from perfumes and cleaning products, and smog or secondhand smoke can cause nonallergic rhinitis symptoms.
Weather. Temperature or humidity changes can cause a runny or stuffy nose.
Foods and beverages. Spicy foods and alcoholic beverages can lead to nasal congestion.
Stress. Emotional or physical stress can trigger nonallergic rhinitis in some people.
What to do:
Utilize Nasal/Sinus Irrigation
. Rinse nasal and sinus passages to eliminate particles that could be irritating the mucus membranes to prevent symptoms. Nasal rinsing also relieves congestion by cleansing your nasal and sinus passages of excess mucus. You can use the method that suits you best: bottles that squirt saline water into your nostrils utilize
positive pressure
, neti pots allow water to flow through your nasal and sinus passages by means of
, and pulsatile irrigation systems provide a pulsating stream of water or mist that mimics the natural action of the cilia (tiny hairs) in the nose.
Nasal Sprays
Nasal sprays can help clear mucus and keep nasal passages moist and healthy.
Manage Humidity. Keeping humidity around 45% serves a dual purpose. Dust mite allergen and mold spores are reduced, and moist air makes breathing easier. You may need a
in hot months to reduce humidity and you may need a
in winter months to increase humidity. A
humidity gauge
can help you keep humidity properly adjusted.
Use Air Filtration. Capture airborne particles that may cause irritation with a
HEPA air purifier
allergen reduction furnace filters
personal hygiene products
cleaning products
that have the least possible chemicals and no added fragrance or dye.
Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis, sometime called hay fever, is directly linked to allergies. If you have sneezing and sniffling symptoms when you are exposed to allergens such as pollen, mold spores, pet dander, dust mite allergen, or dust, your diagnosis is probably allergic rhinitis although you may require allergy testing to be sure.
What to do:
See Tips Above
. All the tips above for nonallergic rhinitis also apply to allergic rhinitis.
Avoid Pollen. Stay indoors as much as possible during pollen season. Wear a
during prolonged outdoor times. Keep
and doors shut. Use
air purifiers
furnace filters
to capture pollen than gets into your home.
Avoid Pet Dander. Keep pets outdoors when possible and out of the bedroom at all times.
pets often to reduce dander.
Control Mold. Keep humidity under 45% to inhibit mold growth. Watch for leaks and repair immediately. Use
mold preventatives
Reduce Dust Mite Allergen.
Monitor humidity
and keep below 45% to control the dust mite population.
Mite proof encasings
on mattress, box spring, and pillows protect you from inhaling dust mite allergen while you sleep.
Treat carpets
to neutralize dust mite allergen.
Control Dust
. Household dust contains allergens, dirt particles, dead skin cells, and more. Dust regularly to avoid inhaling these irritants. Use a
vacuum cleaner
with HEPA filtration to prevent particles returning to your home's air in the vacuum's exhaust.
The swelling and congestion caused by rhinitis can lead to more serious health issues such as asthma, sinusitis, and skin conditions.
Allergens are knows triggers for asthma attacks and must be taken seriously. The tips above for avoiding allergens can help prevent asthma attacks. Symptoms of asthma include wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Often asthma is made worse by exercise or breathing cold air. If you suspect asthma, you should definitely see a doctor who can prescribe medication to be used with compressor/nebulizers and suggest tools for
asthma management
Rhinitis can also lead to sinusitis, the swelling and inflammation of the sinus cavities over and below the eyes. Symptoms of sinusitis include: congestion, facial pain and tenderness, difficulty breathing through the nose, ear pain, aching in the upper jaw and teeth, cough, and sore throat.
What to do:
Apply Warmth. Warm cloths or
microwaveable heat packs
can help relieve discomfort.
Moisturize Sinuses. Breathing steam loosens congestion and can give some relief. Steam can be produced by a
steam inhaler
or from a bowl of steaming water.
Nasal/Sinus Irrigation
. See tips above.
Skin Conditions
Skin conditions such as eczema can accompany allergies or asthma.
What to do:
. Keep skin moisturized to reduce discomfort. While skin is still damp from bathing or showering, apply moisturizer liberally.
Avoid Chemical Irritants. Use
laundry products
, and other
personal care products
that are free of added fragrance and dyes.
Avoid Known Irritants. Often itchy fabrics like wool or linen can cause an eczema flare-up.
Don't Sweat. Sudden changes in body temperature and stress can cause sweat that makes eczema worse.
Minimize Exposure To Allergens. Triggers that cause allergy symptoms such as dust mite allergen, pet dander, mold spores, pollen, and house dust (that can contain all allergens) can also trigger eczema.
Often you can use the tips above to prevent or relieve the annoying symptoms of rhinitis that can interfere with your life. Preventing rhinitis can also help prevent more serious conditions such as asthma, sinusitis, and eczema. However, if symptoms linger, see a medical professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

The cache is pretty beat up, though.
Unfortunately, I wasn't sure if this project was going to turn out. The last time I attempted to finish a project based on a wild, spontaneous idea it failed miserably. I built this stump with no forethought or plan, so I didn't take pictures until success was certain. I guess I could reenact the process and take pictures, then write an iBle. This cache sure is a step up from my previous one:

The NHL tabled a proposal to the NHLPA, as I'm sure most of you have already heard. Details are here. I find it very promising that a proposal was tabled in mid-July. Fantastic. Very different from the last CBA negotiations. And the two sides will meet again Monday. Another break through. Remember Bob Goodenow? He would have sat on that proposal and sulked until the end of September.
That's the good news. The bad news is the negotiating games. The idiotic starting point the NHL decided on. Reducing the player's hockey-related revenues from 57 percent to 46 percent is obviously not going to happen, and it is equally obvious that the NHL hopes to start there and meet somewhere in the middle. But I think it was wrong to table something so out of whack. By that theory, start at zero percent – then you can meet at 28.5, right? Anyway, if the end goal is 50, start at 49 and don't budge more than one or two. Don't be insulting. Now the players will just counter with a proposal of 62 percent. All you do is add a couple of weeks to the negotiations. But anyway, I won't dwell. It's a positive thing that a proposal was tabled. Something to start with. And that they are meeting again quickly.
Other issues – the NHL proposed increasing the entry-level contract from three years to five, and changing the UFA from the age of 27 to simply "10 seasons in the NHL". Contracts will be limited to five years, and there will be no more salary arbitration.
One more thing: "NHL proposal amounts to a Declaration of War against the NHLPA" – Larry Brooks. Uh, no. Relax Larry. They are no more at war than they've been at any time over the last six or seven years.
Wouldn't it be funny if the NHLPA said "sure!" and then they signed it? It would be worth a lot to see the look on Daly's and Bettman's faces if they did that…but not billions of dollars a lot.
One of Winnipeg's top forward prospects, Ivan Telegin, will miss prospects camp thanks to an injury suffered off the ice in Russia. The injury is to his hand, and he should be ready to go in September.
I actually got the above news thanks to the DobberHockey Newsfeed. The volunteer team has done a great job staying on top of news in the hockey world and I make it one my sources every evening when I put together the ramblings. It's such a great double-check in case I've missed anything or wanted to discuss anything in particular. I don't like the ramblings to be considered a complete source of news, as this stuff can be found anywhere. But I like to give the fantasy angle on things that interest me and that Newsfeed is a great starting point. You can always access it via the "Free Features" link at the top – as well as the free line combos, archived ramblings, the starting goalies chart, Band-Aid Boys, Windex Wonders and different sets of rules for starting your own keeper league.
Lokomotiv, the KHL team that was tragically lost in the plane crash last summer, will be active in the KHL in 2012-13 and have already signed some 'known' names to contracts. So far – Niklas Hagman, Viktov Kozlov, Staffan Kronwall, Curtis Sanford and Sami Lepisto.
So is Brad Boyes to be PA Parenteau's replacement? Or is it Colin McDonald? Think about it – Matt Moulson, PA Parenteau, Colin McDonald – all prolific AHL producers joining the Islanders at the age of 26 or 27… Not making a prediction, just saying…
I love Angus' thoughts in the ramblings the other day on Wojtek Wolski. His 'easy minutes' vs. 'hard minutes' and the line combos make complete sense to me. He shies away from the 50-point projection a little and frankly I don't blame him. But in my eyes, Wolski either gets eight points or he gets 50-plus. There won't be an in-between. He won't get between nine and 49. It's either success or fail, and it's always smartest to put your money on 'fail' when it comes to players who are on the outs.
If I own Tyler Ennis, I would not trade him for Cody Hodgson. Not close, not interested. And I'm in the minority with this opinion. Follow your own opinion, but if you wanted mine you have it. A little surprised at the poll, but then again not really. Articles such as this one over at the Hockey Writers are prevalent – Hodgson is assumed the top guy, while Ennis is the afterthought. Who cares if Ennis was the best Sabre of the final six weeks and posted 22 points in his last 20 games? Or that Hodgson had eight points in that span?
Although the Capitals signed their top draft pick Filip Forsberg to an ELC, he will return to Sweden for the upcoming season. A lot of mock drafts had Forsberg in their first five picks, so the Caps got a steal here.
The Sabres signed Zemgus Girgensons to an ELC and thus he won't be joining the NCAA ranks – it will be AHL or NHL a la Tomas Tatar's route. He's outplayed Grigorenko in prospect camp.
Carolina signed prospect Chris Terry to a two-year deal. Usually when I see that from a top-scoring prospect who is 23 years old, I expect that the second year will be a one-way deal. That's often how they do things – Cal O'Reilly is one example who pops to mind. But no, Terry's deal is two-way for both years. To me, that's the kiss of death at his age.
Dominik Hasek wants to play in the NHL next year and he full expects to. He is 47 years old, but led the KHL in shutouts last season. Angus got into his recent accomplishments yesterday, but I read here that he's looking for a multi-year deal. Good luck with that. I need a third goalie, is it bad that I actually thought about putting him on my list for a moment?
Hat tip to Puck Daddy for this clip – hockey highlights synced up to soccer commentating:

If they don't sign Yakupov to an ELC and he heads over to Russia to play if the NHL was locked out, maybe he wouldn't return. That's the risk.
Teams are signing 2012 picks to make sure they lock them up early. Don't want to lose them in 2 years.

The future? I like Hodgson, but I don't foresee even thinking about trading him for Ennis in the next couple of years.

germant said:
There's no rush to sign them anyway. The season is a) a long way away; b) doubtful it will even start on time.
If I was Edmonton, I wouldn't bother with signing Yakupov until the next CBA is set. As it stands, their options are sign him to a 3 year contract and then deal with him or see how the CBA shakes out and potentially sign him to a 5 year contract. Why not wait? What's the harm?

We can speculate with a model like this, the players will not suffer any setback in $$$ they earn and the cap would be pretty much unaffected... and by past #s it would still rise by 1-2 million a year not 4-6...
Entry Levels:
Teams/players should be able to decide how long the contract should be and could pick between 1-5 years... most NCAA players get 2 year entrys, and start them as soon as they sign (some sign 3 years at the end of the season, but soon as they play an NHL game, year 1 kicks in and is gone). Junior players almost always sign 3 years with the ability to slide years until they play 10+ NHL games in a season... Forcing players to sign for 5 years really hurts the 50 man signed contracts limit, as its more difficult to cut a failure without taking a $$$ hit for a play that does not deserve it.
Contract Limits:
To me what makes sence would be any contract signed before the age of 30 cannnot exceed the age of 35, be it 10 years signed at 25 or 4 years signed at 31.... any contact signed after 35 has a 3 year max and is subject to +35 status...
Also contracts cannot be front loaded, back loaded or givin bonuses...
I'm sure both the players and owners could be happy with something similer to that...
I'd also start talking about having KHL/European affliations like the AHL is, where as mostly european prospects could be assigned to teams over there (keeping Russian kids happier) and improve relations. Currently it is allowed to assign players to euro teams, but rarely used for call ups... Tom Wandell and Harri Sateri are the only players I know that have been recalled from Europe during the season...
With that the 50 contract cap should be increased to 60... with no slide exemption given to players assigned to pro teams... Ccurrently junior euro players are granted the slide while playing in the KHL, Russia 2, DEL, SEL, FEL yet they are still playing pro.
But I'm opening a whole new can of worms with that as the NHL would need to sign agreements with the KHL for affiliations and europe operates a bit differently than North America when it comes to Junior/College hockey...
