The Bauer Vapor APX Ice Hockey Skates are a culmination of material and technological advancements resulting in the lightest Vapor Skate ever. Bauer has combined the ALIVE composite material found in the TotalOne skate with the Vapor fit and new Vapor X-rib construction to create the ultimate advanced performance driven skate from Bauer yet.
The Bauer ALIVE composite upper in the Bauer Vapor skate is built to provide players with the distinct "Vapor" attributes, while significantly reducing the weight. The NEW X-rib design provides structural support and stability throughout the boot, allowing for faster acceleration and quicker turns. The angle of the boot is cut aggressive to allow great forward flex.
The Form-Fit 3 tongue is designed and engineered to provide the same fit and feel as as the previous Form-fit 2 while enhancing lace bite protection. By exposing the metatarsal guard, it enables the laces of the skate to slide up and down the tongue vs. compressing the internal foam, thus enhancing comfort and reducing break-down.
Bauer has also introduced the new Hydra-Max 2 liner which is one part moisture wicking, one part abrasion-resistant with integrated comfort wrap. Together it adds up to a superior liner that keeps the feet dry and cool while locking the heel in tight. The durable CLARINO® top layer minimizes wear and tear around the top of the ankle. Featuring a NEW integrated comfort wrap designed to alleviate abrasion high on the ankle during the break-in process and added comfort throughout the life of the skate.
Even the footbed has been upgraded on the Bauer Vapor APX skate! Bauer has introduced the Form-Fit+ footbed with ERGOTOE protection. The ERGOTOE is customizable and offers increased forefoot and toe comfort. To help decrease the overall weight without sacraficing and performance the Bauer Vapor APX ice skate features the Tuuk LS fusion runner that combines steel with aluminum reducing the weight by 27%

Comments: The bauer apx skates have been a phenomenal experience for me. I play AAA hockey and I skate 6-10 times a week. I had x7.0 and they wore down in one year. The apx skates have shown little wear for the two months. They break in a little harder than most skates but bake very good. They are comfortable and extremely light. Bye far the best skates I've ever worn. The outer coating gives them a sharp glossy look. The skates are a little pricey but worth it. I would recommend these skates to anyone looking for amazing pro level skates and for someone playing at a high level.
From: Ryan, Tonawanda, New York
Comments: Just picked these up a few days ago and could not love them more! I have never had Bauer skates before these, and I can say I will now own no other brand. Responsive feel, and just built incredibly. I highly recommend these skates. I also recommend ordering them here, best customer service I have ever had.
From: Caleb
Comments: I really enjoyed having these skates. They take longer than a usual skate does to break into, but once you break into them they have zero problems with them. They are just skates that you will love inside and out. The look is great, protection is great and so is the comfortability. I would highly recommend buying these skates off this site. Amazing!
From: Brett, BC, Canada
Comments: Making the move from Reeboks back to Bauer was well worth it because of the APX skate. I have a wider foot, and as a result went for the EE width skate. I have had no issues with pain of discomfort, so be sure to try the wider last if you are worried about the tighter Vapor fit. Performance has been phenominal. The stiffness and the pop from the skates, combined with the feather weight makes them a joy to skate in from the first shift to the last. Durability has been excellent, and is certainly good to see from this price point. Don't be afraid that the skates will break down because of the lightweight nature. I've had these for almost a year now, and the only damage is purely cosmetic (puck marks).
From: Stephen
Comments: These skates look and feel great. their durable and will last you for seasons, pick them up!
From: Matt, MA
Comments: These are by far the best skates I have ever owned. Incredibly light, baked them once and they felt great. I used to skate on Bauer one 100's size 8.5 width D, and went up to 9.0 width D and they fit great. Boot is very protective, I have taken a few shots of the side of the foot and didn't feel anything. My only comment is that the paint on the boot has a tendency to smudge and smear but that is strictly a cosmetic issue and does not affect the performance of the skate. Also the tongue does not have the usual felt that traditional skates do.
From: Tom, TX
Comments: The Bauer APX skates are without question the best skates I've ever skated on, hands down! First of all, the out of box comfort is immediate and the break in process is next to nothing. You don't even need to bake the skate but I did and the skate fit like a glove..They're so strong and well built that they don't break down.I play four times a week and these things are built like tanks. I can't tell you how many shots I've take off these skates and you don't feel a thing? Between how light they are and how durable they are, it's the perfect combo. They just flat out made me a better skater!! The money couldn't be more well spent...

Comments: The Bauer APX Skates are a great skate to have when I first saw the skates I absolutely fell in love with the skate. I have always liked Bauer hockey and the equipment and skates just keep getting better I strongly recommend these skates to anyone who wants speed and agility from this skates
From: Josh, NJ
Comments: These are great skates and IceWarehouse is the best to buy them from. They are light and provide quick starts and transitions. I would buy these skates if you can and i recommend them to everyone.
From: Josh
Comments: I switched from Graf 705's to these and it was the best decision I have ever made, there are incredibly light. The only way that the Graf's are better then these is the comfort of the Graf boot. I would recommend this skate to everyone.
From: Aaron
Comments: My APX skates are the best skates I have ever owned hands down. Was originally with Easton (S17) and loved them because of the fit (as I have wide feet) and performance and didn't think skates could get much better. I was a sceptic at first but thought I'd try them out. Was the best thing I ever did. Once I baked and had the blades profiled with every stride all the energy gets transferred to the blade. They made my skating so effortless and efficient. They are so light you don't even notice them on. I would highly recommend them to anyone that doesn't mind forking out the extra $$$ as you definitely get what you pay for. You won't be disappointed.
From: Israel
Comments: I switched from Total100's, size 11.5 Reg. Width, to APX 10.5 EE Wide's. These fit soo much better and there was really NO break-in time. They are comfortable like running shoes. I am not happy with the amount of support throughout the boot, however. These are touted as 'extremely stiff' Vapor skates, which I guess they are, in comparison to the earlier models of Vapors(I used to skate on Vapor XXXX's before the Total100's). I've had these for 1.5 months now, and my worst fears have been realized- i spent $800 on skates that I feel have taken my skating abilities a step in the WRONG direction. I am just not as strong a skater as I was with the Total100's. This is just my personal experience. I'm 6'3", 225.
From: James
Comments:I am the kind of person that likes to see what I am getting before purchase, I could not be more impressed for the quality of the product, condition of the product was flawless!! Thats my biggest fear of major purchases online were the floor models or returns, AND EVERY PIECE OF TISUE PAPER WAS PERFECT, YOU COULD TELL THEY WERE IN AS NEW SHAPE AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE, THE BOX WAS NOT CUT OR CRUSHED, THEY PROPERLY PACKED THEM SO NO DAMAGE OCURED DURING SHIPPING. THAT SHOWS ME THAT THEY WANT MY FUTURE BUSINESS AND THEY WILL GET IT ALL!! GREAT PRICES, SAME DAY I PAID THEY WERE SHIPPED WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE. A+ COMPANY. ALL MY GEAR IS TOTALLY BEING REPLACED AND I WOULD NOT BUY FROM ANYONE ELESE AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE. VERY GOOD PRICES, CANT SAY ENOUGH GOOD ABOUT ICW. I KNOW THIS IS MY FIRST TRANSACTION BUT, THEY REALLY SEEM TO CARE ABOUT GETTING GOOD STUFF OUT FOR A GOOD PRICE. THEY EVEN CALLED TO CHECK MY ORDER BEFORE IT SHIPPED. GREAT JOB GUY'S. KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB! ITS SO RARE THESE DAYS.

About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Dont need a car seat with a lot of bells and whistles? Gracos ComfortSport is a basic, easy-to-use model thats also fairly lightweight, which is handy if youre planning on lifting it in and out of the car often. In GHRI tests, we had no trouble securing a child in the seat or tightening and loosening the harness. We ran into some difficulty making other changes, however. The angle adjuster was tough to use, and converting from rear- to forward-facing wasnt easy because we had to re-route the LATCH system. gracobaby.com.

Honorable Mention
The "Go Further – Protect Forests" campaign takes an intelligent, motivational approach that is geared toward socially conscious, conservation-minded consumers. It displays the action promoted by the campaign in an educational and inclusive frame, aiming to prompt the consumer to learn more about FSC-certified products and incorporate them into their everyday lives.
Since marketing research has indicated that many in the target demographic already know what FSC-certified products are, we took a relatively light approach that links the action of choosing FSC-certified products with other steps the reader may already be taking and encourages them to add that 'next step' to their 'to-do list.'
The understated layout incorporates the logo prominently in the centre of the page while showcasing various products – paper, magazines, the wood of a table – that could be FSC-certified. The message and call-to-action are easily distinguishable through both their position on the page and bolder font, and the viewer's eye can follow the course of action – 'Go Further > Protect Forests > protectforests.com' – with ease. "Protect Forests" is a simple, memorable message, and 'protectforests.com' is currently a vacant domain.
This campaign uses an uncomplicated, open invitation to "Go Further" in working to protect the environment, encouraging readers to investigate the website. The idea of "Go Further" recognizes that the target consumers are discerning, busy individuals who most likely acknowledge the value of green spaces and forests as well as pushing their own personal limits. The list format also strives to affirm the existing actions that consumers may have already taken while simultaneously encouraging them to do more.
In creating the campaign, however, we also want to engage those who may not yet be aware of FSC certification. From that perspective, the list image can be used as an educational tool. It builds an understanding of FSC certification as a positive initiative by comparing it to other widely known environmental and social justice issues. Any reader will understand that choosing FSC-certified products is one piece in a network of ways to preserve the natural environment.
The final line in the image – "Take a stand against illegal logging and deforestation" – is meant to provide a final, more serious urging for readers. It connects the affirmational tone of the rest of the image with a more weighty call to action, leaving readers intrigued and motivated to head to the website to find out more.

Directivity Plot for San Juan Bautista M3.9
The PGA and PGV directivities are moderate (ν ~ 0.6β) but adequately constrained. Both rupture directions are nearly horizontal and favor the NW-SE striking nodal plane (that is, the San Andreas fault) as the fault plane. Both rupture directions diverge to the east of this fault plane. The nodal planes are projected on the lower hemisphere. All the stations used are within 80 km of the fault.
The residual PGAs and PGVs are plotted on whole stereonets. Symbols indicating the amplitude of the residual peak ground motions are plotted at the azimuths and vertical takeoff angles of the S-waves. Orange circles indicate amplified ground motions; green crosses indicate deamplified ground motions. Because we restrict the station distance, most takeoff angles are vertically upward, but the takeoff angles to the more distant stations can be slightly downward. The thick magenta lines show the rupture direction. The longer the line, the more horizontal the rupture direction. Upward rupture directions end in arrows; downward rupture directions end in stars. The thin magenta lines around the rupture directions enclose the 2σ uncertainty areas: these uncertainty areas can extend into both the upper and lower hemispheres. The blue lines show the nodal planes of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory Moment Tensor, which are projected onto the upper or lower hemisphere, depending on the rupture direction. The sets of three numbers indicate the strike and dip of the nodal plane and the angle between the rupture direction and the nodal plane. If you are unfamiliar with nodal planes and stereoscopic projections, there is an excellent explanation titled Fault Plane Solutions. Remember that nodal planes are determined from P-wave first motions, while the directivity is determined from S-wave peak motions.

5.a. Environment Variables?
What they are
An environment variable is a named object that contains information used by one or more applications. Many users (and especially those new to Linux) find this a bit weird or unmanageable. However, this is a mistake: by using environment variables one can easily change a configuration setting for one or more applications.
Important Examples
The following table lists a number of variables used by a Linux system and describes their use. Example values are presented after the table.
Below you will find an example definition of all these variables:
Code Listing 1.1: Example definitions
PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/games/bin" ROOTPATH="/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin" LDPATH="/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3" MANPATH="/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man" INFODIR="/usr/share/info:/usr/local/share/info" PAGER="/usr/bin/less" EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim" KDEDIRS="/usr" CONFIG_PROTECT="/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /opt/tomcat/conf \ /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ \ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf"
5.b. Defining Variables Globally
The /etc/env.d Directory
To centralise the definitions of these variables, Gentoo introduced the /etc/env.d directory. Inside this directory you will find a number of files, such as 00basic, 05gcc, etc. which contain the variables needed by the application mentioned in their name.
For instance, when you installed gcc, a file called 05gcc was created by the ebuild which contains the definitions of the following variables:
Code Listing 2.1: /etc/env.d/05gcc
PATH="/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2" ROOTPATH="/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2" MANPATH="/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/man" INFOPATH="/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/info" CC="gcc" CXX="g++" LDPATH="/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3"
Other distributions tell you to change or add such environment variable definitions in /etc/profile or other locations. Gentoo on the other hand makes it easy for you (and for Portage) to maintain and manage the environment variables without having to pay attention to the numerous files that can contain environment variables.
For instance, when gcc is updated, the /etc/env.d/05gcc file is updated too without requesting any user-interaction.
This not only benefits Portage, but also you, as user. Occasionally you might be asked to set a certain environment variable system-wide. As an example we take the http_proxy variable. Instead of messing about with /etc/profile, you can now just create a file (/etc/env.d/99local) and enter your definition(s) in it:
Code Listing 2.2: /etc/env.d/99local
By using the same file for all your variables, you have a quick overview on the variables you have defined yourself.
The env-update Script
Several files in /etc/env.d define the PATH variable. This is not a mistake: when you run env-update, it will append the several definitions before it updates the environment variables, thereby making it easy for packages (or users) to add their own environment variable settings without interfering with the already existing values.
The env-update script will append the values in the alphabetical order of the /etc/env.d files. The file names must begin with two decimal digits.
Code Listing 2.3: Update order used by env-update
00basic 99kde-env 99local +-------------+----------------+-------------+ PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/kde/3.2/bin:/usr/local/bin"
The concatenation of variables does not always happen, only with the following variables: ADA_INCLUDE_PATH, ADA_OBJECTS_PATH, CLASSPATH, KDEDIRS, PATH, LDPATH, MANPATH, INFODIR, INFOPATH, ROOTPATH, CONFIG_PROTECT, CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK, PRELINK_PATH, PRELINK_PATH_MASK, PKG_CONFIG_PATH and PYTHONPATH. For all other variables the latest defined value (in alphabetical order of the files in /etc/env.d) is used.
You can add more variables into this list of concatenate-variables by adding the variable name to either COLON_SEPARATED or SPACE_SEPARATED variables (also inside an env.d file).
When you run env-update, the script will create all environment variables and place them in /etc/profile.env (which is used by /etc/profile). It will also extract the information from the LDPATH variable and use that to create /etc/ld.so.conf. After this, it will run ldconfig to recreate the /etc/ld.so.cache file used by the dynamical linker.
If you want to notice the effect of env-update immediately after you run it, execute the following command to update your environment. Users who have installed Gentoo themselves will probably remember this from the installation instructions:
Code Listing 2.4: Updating the environment
# env-update && source /etc/profile
Note: The above command only updates the variables in your current terminal, new consoles, and their children. Thus, if you are working in X11, you will need to either type source /etc/profile in every new terminal you open or restart X so that all new terminals source the new variables. If you use a login manager, become root and type /etc/init.d/xdm restart. If not, you will need to logout and log back in for X to spawn children with the new variable values.
Important: You cannot use shell variables when defining other variables. This means things like FOO="$BAR" (where $BAR is another variable) are forbidden.
5.c. Defining Variables Locally
User Specific
You do not always want to define an environment variable globally. For instance, you might want to add /home/my_user/bin and the current working directory (the directory you are in) to the PATH variable but don't want all other users on your system to have that in their PATH too. If you want to define an environment variable locally, you should use ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile:
Code Listing 3.1: Extending PATH for local usage in ~/.bashrc
(A colon followed by no directory is treated as the current working directory) PATH="${PATH}:/home/my_user/bin:"
When you relogin, your PATH variable will be updated.
Session Specific
Sometimes even stricter definitions are requested. You might want to be able to use binaries from a temporary directory you created without using the path to the binaries themselves or editing ~/.bashrc for the short time you need it.
In this case, you can just define the PATH variable in your current session by using the export command. As long as you don't log out, the PATH variable will be using the temporary settings.
Code Listing 3.2: Defining a session-specific environment variable
# export PATH="${PATH}:/home/my_user/tmp/usr/bin"

Rush Pikes Peak represented at Rush Select!
Rush Select is the Rush all-star program where the best players from around the Rush Nation (and this year included our Rush partner in Bahamas) come together to represent Rush Soccer. The signature event is the SC Del Sol Presidents Day tournament held in Phoenix, where Rush Soccer sends 10 teams (U13-U17 boys and girls) to compete against some of the best teams in the country. The opportunity for the best players at specific age groups to play on a very high level team is a concept unique to any club in the country.
This year we had many players and coaches from Rush Pikes Peak represented at the event. Sammy Kiliman and Brandon Shaughnessy from the B14 Rush and Nick Kuykendall from the B13 Rush were joined by Nik Penn, Director of Junior Girls (coaching the Rush Select B14), Dan Highstead, Director of Youth Boys (coaching the Rush Select B13) and Brian Lux, Director of Soccer Operations (coaching the G13 Rush Select) at the tournament.
The event was a huge success with 5 of the 10 teams advancing to the championship games. Nik and Brian were both part of the championship winning teams with the B14 and G13 Select respectively and Arian Hoxha of HI Rush helped his team win their fourth championship in a row with the B16 Select. You can see lots of the action here – PDT Media.
Sammy said "It was awesome being part of the team with players from NY, DE, TX, WA, NM, TN and even the Bahamas, and then to win the championship was amazing! On top of that we beat the number 2 team in the country on PK's to win it all!"
Over the past year we have had 12 different players from Rush Pikes Peak representing the Rush Select program in events and camps, offering them a chance to play at a whole new level, including Ryan Mouldenhaur who travelled to Spain to play against Real Madrid with the B16 Select.
Congratulations to all those involved in this great program!

OZ House, Silicon Valley, Calif.
Tim Griffith
A limestone base, meticulously laid out and built, ties together the home's exterior elements.
Stucco clads the bedroom wings, distinguishing them from the mahogany-clad central portion.
Indoors and out, the home fulfills the clients' request for a vacation-like retreat.
The main living and dining area occupies the core of the house.
Upstairs, a sleek glass bridge crosses over the great room, linking the two sleeping wings.
Swatt Miers Architects
The home's site plan.
The project's lower level plan.
The project's upper level plan.
The judges admired the choreography of spaces in this Northern California house, starting with the entry and moving through the interiors. "Just the progression of how you walk through the space would be very interesting and pleasant," said one juror. They also appreciated the layering of materials: mahogany, stone, glass, and stucco. "It's a really nice blending of different elements," a judge added. "There's nothing gratuitous here."
According to architect Robert Swatt, the clients requested a home that made them feel as if they were on vacation. "They wanted something comfortable, casual, barefoot," he says. So he centered the floor plan on a mahogany-lined, double-height great room that's visually open and easily accessible from both the outdoors and from other interior areas. Ceiling height changes, floor treatments, and small level shifts delineate different parts of the space, creating a multifunctional zone that still forms a cohesive whole.
A glass bridge above the great room connects it with the home's two upstairs sleeping wings. "There's a contrast between the lightness of the bridge and the sturdiness of this mahogany box," Swatt explains.

Limited edition WoW cups coming to ampm stores
World of Warcraft is entering over seven years of operation and still going strong, enough so that regional advertising campaigns at widespread retailers are an attractive move. WoW has definitely eclipsed the video game market and is instead focusing on attracting new players because, for the most part, a lot of the home team market is dried up. By putting WoW in places where less typical gamers might encounter it, Blizzard has a great chance of attracting new people.
Can we please get the dataminers on this and tell us what size cups these are, as well as the materials used to make them? I love those study plastic cups. I'm waiting patiently.

Music Review: Sarasota Orchestra: Masterworks Concert
Date: November 22, 2011
by: June LeBell | Contributing Writer
There's a lot more to making music than perfection. In fact, in many ways, a great performance is a lot like a beautiful person: someone who's dressed impeccably and makes a magnificent impression until you get to know her and realize her beauty doesn't go very deep.
That's a little like what happened at the Sarasota Orchestra's recent Masterworks Concert at the Van Wezel, which was conducted by Michael Stern, current music director of the Kansas City Symphony and the son of the great violinist, Isaac Stern. The concert featured cellist Julian Schwarz, the 20-year-old son of conductor Gerard Schwarz.
The program, Brahms' "Academic Festival Overture," Saint-Saëns' A minor Cello Concerto and Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony, although not terribly innovative, was certainly appealing because each of these works is well-known and beloved.
Then, there's the Sarasota Orchestra, which keeps sounding better and better.
So, what went wrong?
Stern is an accomplished conductor. His beat is a bit hard to follow at times, but he has strong ideas about what he wants and seems able to convey his message to the musicians. He worked extremely hard. In fact, he worked so hard, he didn't allow the instrumentalists to soar, and, as a result, the Brahms and Saint-Saëns sounded perfunctory and metronomic, lacking both breadth and breath.
Was it bad playing? By no means. The brass and woodwinds outdid themselves. But the "Academic Festival Overture," a rousing, fun-filled fantasy that includes an exuberance not often associated with the more serious side of Brahms, became, well, academic. And the cello concerto, a virtuosic work that's brilliant and passionate, lacked the tension and color one's accustomed to hearing in this piece.
It would be good to hear Schwarz under different circumstances, because, although there was inherently nothing wrong about what he did in either his technical prowess or interpretation, the work was given such a mechanical and dutiful performance, it was hard to know just how deep his talent runs.
Then came the Tchaikovsky. Again, Stern pumped and prodded, pushed and pulled, while the orchestra plodded along until the beginning of the third movement. Suddenly, Stern let go and allowed them to play, and we were at a different a concert.
It must be said that Stern, conducting without a score in the Brahms and Tchaikovsky, obviously cares about connecting with his musicians. But he'd been trying too hard. Where the performance had been sterile and detached, it was now vivid and convincing. Stern hardly moved. His hands relaxed, and he seemed to lead with his eyes, making the kind of connection a conductor can make when he has a good band in front of him and the confidence to give it its head.
That kind of charisma and excitement continued through the rest of the Tchaikovsky and showed how, when we get out of our own way, we can really fly. Adding to this suddenly monumental performance was, in the last chair, last stand of the cello section, Schwarz, who obviously wanted to play some more. We've seen this happen before, proving the music comes first, not the notoriety or fame of being in the spotlight. And what a lovely tribute to his colleagues in the Sarasota Orchestra.

Results tagged ' NFL Players Association '
Family Day for NFL's Vrabel
Mike Vrabel has a lot on his plate this summer.
There's his impending free agency as a 14-year National Football League veteran. Then there's his job on the NFL Players Association Executive Committee, making him a key player in negotiations during the current NFL lockout.
But first and foremost, Mike Vrabel is a dad to 10-year-old Tyler and 9-year-old Carter. So when it came time for Tyler's baseball team to play in a tournament in Cooperstown, Vrabel knew where he belonged.
"I told the Players Association: 'I have to take this week off to be with my family,'" said Vrabel, who visited the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on Tuesday with Tyler's team. "No matter what is happening, I'm not going to put my family second."
Vrabel's wife Jennifer joined the tour of the Museum, with Tyler and his buddies enjoying every exhibit – especially Today's Game, which features artifacts from current players and teams. The team is based in and around Detroit, Mich., although Vrabel and his family live in Columbus, Ohio. Vrabel played college football for Ohio State, which is located in Columbus.
"I played with Ryan Miller at Ohio State, and Ryan's older brother Gordon coaches this youth team," Vrabel said. "Tyler really likes the team and will play in about four tournaments with them this year."
Vrabel grew up in the football hotbed of northeast Ohio, playing youth baseball until about the eighth grade. But he soon morphed into a 6-foot-4, 250-pound tackling machine who starred at defensive end for the Buckeyes before being converted to a linebacker when he was drafted by the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers in 1997. After four years with the Steelers, Vrabel played eight seasons with the New England Patriots – winning Super Bowl titles in 2001, 2003 and 2004 – before spending the last two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. He began his work with the NFLPA when he was with the Steelers.
"Young players sometimes aren't aware of all the history surrounding the game they play," Vrabel said. "That's OK, but I think it's important that they learn it to get a feeling of what the players did who came before.
"I tell Tyler: 'I may be a better football player than he is right now, but he's already a better baseball player than I ever was."
Craig Muder is the director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

quote:I get my NEWS from Fox so that means I watch Fox for news about 30 minutes a day . They don't report much news. It's mostly opinion.
quote:First of all, network news is going to be "liberal" from the perspective of...say...someone in Louisiana or the south (which is where the bulk of GOP support comes), but for the general public, they're pretty close to the center. I do think it's probably fair to say that people who study and practice journalism are more likely (but certainly not exclusively) to be liberal than conservative. But having been around many professional journalists, I know it's absolute hogwash to suggest that the entire world's media (other than Fox) is a part of the vast left wing conspiracy. Fox, is not just a network with slightly more conservative reporters than liberal reporters. Fox is an activist conservative news network. They are deliberately framing stories, editorial content, etc. for the conservative market segment. Fox is NOT simply the flip side of the coin of NYT, WAPO, etc. They've done one hell of a job convincing people that they are, though. With Fox you not only get your own opinions but you get your own facts, too.

Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says, 'In case of emergency, notify:' I put 'DOCTOR.'
I got my son a book of jokes from 1964.
He uses these two the most:
What do you call a boy cow asleep in the field?
A Bull Dozer!
There is a man in the restaurant. He asks the waiter, "Will my pizza be long?" The waiter says, "No, your pizza will be round."
At Halloween, he always says:
Why was the skeleton scared of everything?
He had no guts!
My usual corny joke:
Why did the rooster cross the road?
To prove he was not chicken!
I got on this ski lift with this guy I didn't know. We went halfway up the mountain without saying a word. Then he turned to me and said, "You know, this is the first time I've gone skiing in ten years." I said, "Why did you take such a long time off?" He said, "I was in prison. Want to know why?" I said, "Not really. Well, you better tell me why." He said, "I pushed a total stranger off a Ferris wheel." I said, "I remember you."
All the passengers are seated on a plane out on the tarmac and the stewardess announces "we're just waiting for the pilots.". The passengers look out the window and see two men, dressed as pilots walking towards the plane. Both men are using guide dogs and appear to be blind. There are murmurs among the passengers, and some believe it is a joke. The men board the plane and go into the cockpit. More concerned murmurs and uneasy chuckles from the passengers. The plane taxis normally to the runway and begins it's takeoff. As passengers look out the window they realize they are nearing the end of the runway. The entire passenger cabin begins screaming but the plane lifts off just before the end of the runway. The passengers calm down and chuckle to themselves. In the cockpit, the pilot turns to his copilot and says "you know, one day those people are gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die!"

Norvos is one of the Free Cities, located to the east of Westeros. It lies in the interior of Essos, between Pentos and Qohor, on the Noyne, a tributary of the massive River Rhoyne. It is on the route leading from the Narrow Sea to the Dothraki sea, and as such pays tribute to passing Dothraki khalasars.[1]
People of Norvos are known as Norvoshi.
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Norvos is described as a city in two parts. The low city sprawls along the river with numerous docks and wharves, whilst the high city extends along the hilltops. Both are walled and fortified. The city as a whole is a theocracy ruled by the Bearded Priests. However, the nature of their religion is unknown.
The city is mercantile, and its wealth is based upon lying the trade route from Pentos to Qohor and the Dothraki sea, as well as minerals mined from the Hills of Norvos, which stretch from the city to the Shivering Sea. The city is famous for the axes it produces, as well as for its high-quality textiles. Myr is also famous for its textiles and produces fine lace and carpets, but Norvos is world-renowned for its fine tapestries.
Bears are used as entertainment in the city, and are known to dance up and down the Sinner's Steps. The city has three bells which ring out at different times of the day and have their own names, Noom, Narrah and Nyel.
Soldiers and warriors are trained in the city, recruited by the Bearded Priests when they are just boys. Some Norvosi prefer the use of axes in battle to the more traditional swords.

Two monologues by Cornelia Otis Skinner and an original play by Caroline Garnet, '40, provided the evening's enter- tainment. Fifi Garbat, '41, President of the Players' Club, devoted her open- ing speech to the meaning of the Workshop as an impetus to Bryn Mawr dramatics. At laot, oho -said, we have a place in which plays can be presented and created in an informal atmosphere. Marion Gill, '40, as President of the Art Club spoke on the great advantage which the workshop affords the club. Mr. Otis Skinner spoke of his wife's activities in Bryn Mawr dramatics and her dreams for a Theatre Workshop. The workshop, he said, is a realization of Mrs. Skinner's sighted hopes. She had often thought of the-long narrow barn as a potential theatre, a place where theatre production could be carried on creatively. The prejudice which condemned all actors as "rogues and vaga- bonds" still infected Bryn Mawr in fts early years. But with Mrs. Skinner's encouragement and sym- pathy, dramatics became more a part of campus activity. "The final barriers to the theatre were brok- en," said Mr. Skinner, "when I found myself in a box in the Broad Street Theatre, next to M. Cary Thomas." Plays today, Mr. Skinner said, reproduce life as it exists, rather Continued on Pace Five May 5 Opening Dedicated to Subscribers Theatre Workslwp, May 5.�A special opening of the Mrs. Otis Skinner Theatre Workshop for outside subscribers and friends of the Skinners was held on Sunday. President Park presided as chair- man of the Joint Committee of Bryn Mawr College and the Bald- win School. Mr. Otis Skinner and Miss Johnson of Baldwin also spoke. Miss Park traced the history of the Theatre Workshop. The idea of a theatre workshop as a me- morial to Mrs. Skinner seemed pertinent because of Mrs. Skinner's work in Bryn Mawr dramatics and May Day, and because of the un- dergraduate's requests for such a workshop. Mrs. Skinner directed. May Day in 1920 and developed the most spectacular performance Bryn Mawr had ever attempted.

Dr. Heaton Shows Need For Statistics In Economic History Goodhart Auditorium, Tuesday, May 7. Dr. Herbert Heaton, Pro- fessor of History at the University of Minnesota, in his Webster lec- ture on Clio in Overhalls, set forth the importance of the use of satis- tics in economic historical research, showing its value as a corrective for accepted interpretations of economic facts. Clio, the muse of history, turned economic when she assumes a work- ing garb, has seen two generations of economic historians. In both England and America the end of this second generation is at hand. Professor J. H. Clapham retires this year from Cambridge, having just completed his definitive, three- volume British Modern Economic History, and leaves the field to a younger man. Harvard has the third generation, Usher and his young colleagues, already at work. The first generation, represented by Ashley, Cunningham and Rog- ers, which took over after the three formative forces of politics, ped- antry and prophecy had brought some- order to the world of econom- ic thought, concentrated upon the study of local institutions, such as the manor, the town, and the gild. Fact was subordinated to fancy in interpreting their functions, and a rigid framework of conceptions was erected. Economic history was written in a series of carefully but conveniently labelled chapters._ Contlnued on Page Six Choruses' Vocal Direction Lauded; Lord Chancellor And Phyllis Excel Goodhart, May 4.�In lieu of Big May Day, the Glee Club this year added lolanthe to Bryn Mawr's Gil- bert and Sullivan repetoire. The production was marked above all, by its combination of amateur en- thusiasm with an unusual and con- spicuous professional ease. lolanthe presents many more dif- ficulties of production than do its predecessors: It is slower-paced, less rollicking and far more depen- dent upon technical subtleties and careful handling of production. The Glee Club took advantage of these difficulties to bring forth an integ- rated and finished performance. The choruses, which ultimately decide the fate of any Gilbert and Sullivan production, showed the fruits of able vocal direction. The Fairies' chorus, free of all possible self-consciousness, tripped about with spirit and ease and provided pretty contrast to the pompous magnificence of the Peers. Splendid of costume and deep of voice, the Peers were at their best during their march.

Bigger, Better Plans Made for Infirmary Now that plans for the enlarge- ment of the Infirmary are well un- der way, Rhoads basement is safe from an invasion of the sick such as took place this winter during the scarlet fever scare. Ailing stu- dents will no longer be housed in the homey atmosphere of the In- firmary's old kitchen, but in the ten new bedrooms-that are to be added. The college architect, Mr. Sidney Martin, has drawn up the plans, and work may possibly be started at the end of May. A waiting room, three cubicles for special pur- poses, and a separate room for ul- tra violet ray treatments are planned. The doctors and nurses are to have new offices, as well as a new, much larger, laboratory. Plans include an isolation unit, and increased accommodations for the college employees. In all, there will be twenty-three beds, some- thing for which the present Junior class may be grateful when they ee the lists of comprehensive read- ing for the first time.% At a meeting of the legislature, four resolutions were formulated for presentation to the college. The first two concern amendments to the student government regula- tions. Students are henceforth to be given permission to eat in the village until 11.30, either escorted or unescorted. Because of the dangers of falls and collisions, they may not ride bicycles off campus after dark. The third resolution, proposed by the Undergraduates Association, urges that the college join the Na- tional Student Federation Associa- tion for next year. The Associa- tion, which is a clearing house for information, has a membership of 150 colleges and charges $12.50 a year' Next year it will hold its annual meeting in the East. The final resolution has to do with the Entertainment Committee, and suggests that the planning of lectures, entertainments, and other extra-curricular events during the college year be entrusted to a com- mittee of three, vested with full I powers, but subject always to the � authority of the President of the j College. This committee would be composed of the Chairman of the Undergraduate Entertainment Committee, a member of the Fac- ulty Committee on Lectures, and a member of the -Deanery Entertain- ment Committee. After these reso- lutions have been voted on by the college, they will be passed on to the trustees.

This was their re- action after reading the transla- tions of the proper names, Fichte, SchelHng and Hegel, as "fur tree," "tinkle bell," and "little cap." There was the unfortunate girl who thought "geist" was ghost, with the following result "Ameri- can history begins as a ghost story. Is there, or is there not, an Amer- ican ghost?" Another, who is ob- viously not informed about her country's past, followed this with: " . . as the Pilgrim father, Sout- hampton let down the hawser." In the 'passage by Schopenhauer on clarity of style, this example of wishful thinking was discovered: "If a man could express himself in clear, comprehensible words, he could get away from thinking." On NewtonT theory of color, it was necessary to call in the depart- ments of Physics and Psychology to interpret: "Colors originate when light passes through trans- parent and opaque bodies. These colors consist of visible bodies, so that these, secreted from white light, annihilate one color compon- ent."- A somewhat clearer explana- tion was found later: "The colors coming through a transparent and an untransparent earthy body, that is, developed from known lights a single colorful part destroys itself �other parts which only no more blend in the right proportion in order to give knowledge to send to the eye."

Posts Tagged: Linnaean Games
They Know Their Insects
They know what a "land lobster" is. They know diseases caused by trypanosomes. They can name the six orders of arthropods represented in the circus troupe from the movie, "A Bug's Life."
The UC Davis Department of Entomology's Linnaean Team, comprised of four graduate students, applied their knowledge of entomological facts to win the championship at the Pacific Branch of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) competition, held recently in Portland, Ore.
Matan Shelomi, Kelly Hamby, Kelly Liebman, and Jenny Carlson now will head to the Linnaean Games at the international organization's 60th annual meeting, set for Nov. 11-14 in Knoxville, Tenn. The ESA's Linnaean Games are college bowl-style games based on entomological facts and insect trivia. Team members respond to the moderator's questions by buzzing in with the answers. (See video of last year's winners at the national level.)
The prize at the regionals was $500 to defray costs to the national event. Extension entomology specialist Larry Godfrey of the Department of Entomology faculty serves as the team's advisor.
Six teams—UC Davis, UC Berkeley, UC Riverside, University of Idaho, and two teams for Washington State—competed in the lively six-round , three-hour event. In the first round, UC Davis was pitted against one of the WSU teams. "The questions were very difficult compared to the two rounds that preceded us," Shelomi said. "We tied 30/30, but we won the tiebreaker question. It was a picture question showing a map of Ball's Pyramid, Lord Howe Island, New Zealand, taken from a recent National Public Radio (NPR) article on an insect recently rediscovered there after having been thought to be extinct."
The answer: Lord Howe Island Phasmid, Dryococelus australis, also known as a land lobster.
Shelomi, the team's phasmid expert, said he was "was very happy to see that picture and knew the answer before they asked the question. After that, we played the University of Idaho and won, then we had a showdown with UC Berkeley for the top two positions." Both will represent the Pacific Branch in Knoxville.
It was a long night, the UC Davis team agreed. The UC Davis team played three out of the total of six games.
Hamby served as the agricultural entomology and integrated pest management (IPM) expert on the team; Liebman and Carlson, medical entomology; and Shelomi, insect physiology. This was the first-ever Linnaean Games competition for Hamby and Liebman.
All four are studying for their doctorates. Hamby's major professor is IPM specialist Frank Zalom; Liebman's major professor is medical entomologist Tom Scott (she receives funds from a grant awarded to medical entomologist Greg Lanzaro, School of Veterinary Medicine); Shelomi's major professor is Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology; and Jenny Carlson's major professors are medical entomologists Anthony "Anton" Cornel and Gregory Lanzaro.
Some other questions asked:
Name four of the six orders of arthropods represented in the circus troupe from the movie "A Bug's Life." (Answers: Lepidoptera, Mantodea, Coleoptera, Phasmatodea, Isopoda, Aranaea.)
What are the two diseases caused by trypanosomes and vectored by insects, and where do they occur? (Answers: Chagas in South America, African Sleeping Sickness in sub-Saharan Africa.)
This is the second consecutive year that a UC Davis team has won the Pacific Branch competition. Each individual branch of the ESA may send its winning team and runner-up to compete in the internationals. Gold medals are awarded to the winning team, and silver medals to the runner-up. In addition, each of the two winning teams receives a plaque for its department.
The Pacific Branch of the ESA includes Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming; U.S. territories of American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Johnston Atoll, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Midway Islands, and Wake Island; and parts of Canada and Mexico.

What's That Again?
Until recently, praying mantids were thought to be deaf. We now know that 65 percent of all mantid species can hear. Where do the tympanal organs occur in mantid species?
Give up?
The answer: The two tympanal membranes face one another inside a narrow groove between the metathoracic legs (hind legs).
That was just one of the questions asked at the 2011 Linnaean Games, a traditional part of the annual meetings of the Entomological Society of America (ESA). It's a spirited college-bowl type of game in which students respond by ringing a bell and shouting out the answers. The winning team receives a huge trophy--and bragging rights.
The UC Davis Linnaean Team, fresh from winning the ESA Pacific Branch championship, journeyed to Reno to compete in this year's Games. Like the other branch winners, UC Davis was there not just to compete, but to have fun and enjoy the camaraderie.
Fun, they did. For the occasion, emcee Tom Turpin, professor of entomology at Purdue, wore his trademark butterfly bow tie. His sharp eyes quickly noticed the bright red bow tie of UC Davis graduate student Matan Shelomi.
So Turpin leaves the podium and walks over to Shelomi to congratulate him on his fashionable choice of ties. The audience erupts into applause.
Then, let the Games begin! When it was all over, the University of Nebraska took home the trophy.
In the championship game, pitting Nebraska against North Carolina State, it was touch-and-go for awhile until Nebraska pulled solidly ahead.
Think you can answer some of the questions? Give them a try. (Answers below)
1.If you donate blood, you are asked about your exposure to babesiosis. What is the common name of the arthropod group that is the main vector of this disease?
2. What is the term for the separation of the cuticle from the epidermis during molting?
3. What does acuminate mean?
4. What is the common and scientific name of the beetle described by LeConte that is a significant pest of corn and was introduced into Europe in the 1990s. The larvae feed on corn roots.
5. What is the meaning of rugose?
6. Most ants use chemical trailing to navigate to and from the nest. However, as a result of high winds and blowing sand, ants that inhabit dessert environments use a different mechanism. How do desert ants find their way?
7. What is the name of insecticidal extract derived from dried chrysanthemum flowers and what chemical is typically added as a synergist to help the performance of this material?
1. Ticks
2. Apolysis
3. Tapering to a long point.
4. Western Corn Rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera)
5. Wrinkled
6. They have the ability to count steps. A recent study experimentally altered the length of ant legs after their search for food. They found that ants with longer legs overshot the nest while ants with their legs shortened didn't go all the way back to the nest. They then placed all the ants in the nest, and the next day all ants went out in search of food and came exactly back to the nest, showing that desert ants have some kind of pedometer.

Sudden-Death Question
Quick! What's the answer to this question?
"I am a blood feeder; I have no hair but have a comb. What am I?"
That was the final question posed when the University of California, Davis competed Monday night with the University of Hawai-Manoa team for the championship of the Linnaean Games, Pacific Branch of the Entomological Society of America (PBESA).
The Linaean Games are college bowl-type games featuring questions about insects, entomologists and entomological facts. Each branch of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) can send two teams to the nationals. This year ESA meets in Reno Nov. 13-16.
So, UC Davis and the University of Hawaii are in a dead heat at the PBESA meeting in Hawaii. Tied game. Buzzers ready. And then comes that final question. "What am I?"
"A flea," Emily Symmes of the UC Davis team correctly answers.
Yes, a flea! A flea, indeed.
Emily Symmes, who is studying for her doctorate with major professor Frank Zalom, joined the winners' circle with her fellow teammates who also did equally well: Matan Shelomi, studying for his doctorate with major profesor Lynn Kimsey; Meredith Cenzer, studying for her doctorate with major professor Louie Yang; and James Harwood, studying for his doctorate with major professor James R. Carey.
Winning at the branch level is indeed an accomplishment, as well as a fun endeavor. The PBESA encompasses 11 U.S. states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming); several U.S. territories, including American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands; and parts of Canada and Mexico.
If you've never been to any of the Linnaean Games, you can see videos online by Googling "Linnaean Games." See if you can answer those questions.
Might be another question about fleas in there, too.
Practicing for the Games
You Had to 'Bee' There
The industrious honey bee buzzed around a lot during the Linnaean Games at the Entomological Society of America's recent meeting in San Diego.
Not the honey bee itself—questions about the honey bee.
The Linnaean Games, a college-bowl type quiz featuring insects, entomologists and entomological facts, drew nine teams, with Ohio State University defeating the Univesity of Nebraska in the championship game.
But back to the bees. One of the questions asked was: "The monarch (butterfly) is actually the second most popular state insect. What insect is the most frequently adopted state insect?"
You guessed it—the honey bee.
Another time the Linnaean judging panel posted a photo on the screen and asked the Linnaean teams: "Considering this pest of honey bee hives, what is its common name and the family to which it belongs?"
It was the small hive beetle, Nitidulidae.
Can you answer these questions? (Answers at the end)
1. The order name Hymenoptera can be interpreted as meaning "membranous wing" or "married wing," which refers to the way the front and hind wings of bees and wasps are linked by little hooks. What is the name of these hooks?
2. How many eyes does a honey bee have?
3. Problems with honey bee hives in what state led to the recognition of colony collapse disorder?
4. What Greek city state used the honey bee as a symbol on its coins?
5. In apiculture, what is the term used to describe the dark discoloration on the surface of comb honey left on the hive for some time, caused by bees tracking propolis over the surface?
1. Hamuli, which are the leading edge of the hind wing.
2. Five: two compound and three ocelli
3. Pennsylvania
4. Ephesus
5. Travel stain
If you got all five right, you're probably an apiculturist. Three to four right, you probably keep bees. One to two right? You've (1) been around bees, (2) listen to the news, or (3) you're related to a beekeeper. Miss all five? You may want to take a course, read a book, or visit an apiary to learn more about these tiny agricultural workers.
Small Hive Beetle and Wax Moth Larvae
Winter Visitor in the Garden
Name That Bug!
Emcee Tom Turpin of Purdue University stood at the podium and acknowledged he might mispronounce an entomology student's name. "If it sounds anything like your name and I'm looking at you, that's you."
So began the Linnaean Games, a college-bowl type competition that's as lively as it is entertaining and educational.
And it's all about insects, entomologists and entomological facts.
The Linnaean Games, held at the annual Entomological Society of America (ESA) meeting, is an event that pits student-teams against one another until a winner is declared. The 2010 event, hosted in San Diego, ended with Ohio State University winning the championship.
Students buzz in with the answers to questions such as:
What's the loudest insect in the world? What is the egg case of a cockroach called? Kissing bugs, in the family Reduviidae, are vectors of what disease? About how long have insects been on earth? Give three official common names for Helicoverpa zea.
Ohio State defeated UC Davis, Pennsylvania State University and the University of Georgia and finally, in the championship game, toppled the University of Nebraska.
But first, the Ohio team of Joshua Bryant, Glene Mynhardt, Kaitlin Uppstrom and Nicola Gallagher had to get by the UC Davis team of Meredith Cenzer, Matan Shelomi, Andrew Merwin, and Ralph Washington.
As the crowd cheered them on, the two teams tied the score several times. Finally, with the score knotted at 90-90, Ohio correctly answered the final question to advance to the next round.
Tom Turpin of Purdue emceed the program while a trio of judges--J. E. McPherson of Southern Illinois University, Carol Annelli of Washington State University and Susan Weller of the University of Minnesota--scored the answers.
Each ESA branch sponsors a Linnaean Games competition and sends up to two teams to the nationals.
Pacific Branch sent UC Davis and Washington State University.
Southeastern Branch: University of Georgia and University of Florida
Eastern Branch: Pennsylvania State University (University of Maryland also won at the branch level but did not participate in the nationals)
North Central Branch: Ohio State University and the University of Nebraska
Southwestern Branch: New Mexico State and Texas A&M
Answers to the above questions (see sixth paragraph):
What's the loudest insect in the world?
African cicada (Brevisana brevis); it has been measured at 106 decibels, (equivalent to a gas mower at 3 feet away).
What is the egg case of a cockroach called?
Kissing bugs, in the family Reduviidae, are vectors of what disease? Answer:
Chagas disease
About how long have insects been on earth?
Some 400-380 million years ago.
Give three official common names for Helicoverpa zea?
Corn earworm, tomato fruitworm, and cotton bollworm
Other questions and answers included:
Which sexes of cicadas have tymbals and which have tympana?
Males have both. Females have only tympana.
What term is used to describe the antennae found on male mosquitoes? Answer:
Crickets are well-known music makers. What are the names of the two specialized structures that allow them to make that wonderful noise and where specifically on the body are they located?
File and scraper, located on the forewings.
At what American school was the first entomology class taught and who was the teacher?
Harvard (1805-1822) W.D. Peck.
In the Amazon rain forest, what are the common names of two groups of insects that make up about 1/3 of the biomass of all animals in the habitat?
Ants and termites.
Problems with honey bee hives in what state led to the recognition of colony collapse disorder?
Name two orders of insects that are entirely predatory.
Odonata and Mantodea
The monarch is actually the second-most popular state insect. What insect is the most frequently adopted state insect?
Honey bee.
Robert Frost wrote a poem that begins with the lines: "An ant on a table cloth ran into a dormant moth of many times his size." As you might guess the poem is about ants. What is the title of the poem?

Prepare the perfect meal with kitchen cooking bundles
Sears cooking bundles make handling the toughest cooking assignments so much easier. The kitchen combos range from basic but highly capable single wall ovens to sophisticated double electric wall ovens with matching cooktops. Cooking bundles provide everything you will need for a wide array of cooking tasks from baking cookies to steaming vegetables or preparing an entire multi-course dinner.
Once the meal is ready, you might want to use a warming drawer if you are still waiting for guests to arrive. A warming drawer keeps the food warm with gentle heat and without any additional cooking. Typically, they have adjustable temperature ranges from 80 to 250 degrees, and some also come with humidity control systems to keep crisp food from becoming overly moist. Another option is use ovens with special warming settings. For example, some Kenmore products come available with Jewish Sabbath settings that gently keep food warm for hours.
Preparing the food is just part of the task in serving the perfect meal. Fine dinnerware, utensils and cutlery will help augment the food presentation. Dining sets can range from fancy decorative porcelain to more affordable but still attractive ceramic and glass sets. Eating utensils, also called flatware, can range from elegant silverware in Baroque or other classic styling to easier-to-maintain stainless steel flatware sets.
After the main meal, you may want to serve dessert with tea or coffee. Gourmet coffee makers can churn out a wide variety of popular brews including espressos, cappuccinos and lattes. Sears has a carousel tower that can display a choice of 30 different coffees, teas and cocoas so that your guests can choose what suits them best.
Once the meal prepared with your cooking combo is complete, it is time for cleanup. Sears has a wide choice of automatic dishwashers to choose from that can make your life that much easier.
Whether you select a built-in or a portable dishwasher, these products work automatically and efficiently to thoroughly clean dishes and flatware. Top-rated dishwashers have Energy Star certification, which means that you pay less in energy bills while helping to save the environment.
Sears has cooking combos that will meet the needs of any modern home kitchen. At the top of the range is the Kenmore double electric wall oven with matching cooktop. The 4.2-cubic-foot oven has enough space to easily handle meals for large family gatherings or for office parties. A variable speed convection fan allows you to set convention at just the right rate for heating and crisping. Other Kenmore ovens have self-cleaning systems that make them easier to maintain. The Select Clean function is customizable so that the cleaning cycle matches the amount of dirt and residue in the oven.
