DUNEDIN, Fla. – Defending National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey pitched eight innings for his old team Friday in the Buffalo Bisons' 6-5 exhibition over the Lehigh Valley IronPigs at the Toronto Blue Jays' minor-league complex.
With J.A. Happ in a fight for Toronto's fifth spot and throwing six strong frames in the Jays' 1-0 win over Boston at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium, Dickey got his work in on the minor-league side 3 miles away.
Dickey had a 24-pitch first inning, including a home run to longtime big-leaguer Delmon Young, but then needed just 78 pitches to throw seven more innings. After returning to the big-league clubhouse, he told reporters he could have easily thrown a complete game had it been regular season play.
"It was a great day for me. I felt fantastic," Dickey said of his first full outing since returning from the World Baseball Classic. "I got better as the game went on."
Dickey, of course, pitched for the Herd in 2010 prior to becoming a breakout phenomenon with the New York Mets. He was traded to Toronto, the Bisons' new parent club, over the winter and will start Opening Day for the Blue Jays on April 2 against Cleveland in Rogers Centre. The Bisons will be giving away a Dickey bobblehead to fans prior to their July 24 game against Columbus.
"I struggled early with the feel of my knuckleball but I was able to kind of get through that, capture a good one over the next six innings," Dickey said. "And I like from the mental side of it getting up seven or eight times at least once before the season breaks."
Using mostly Double-A players until Friday, the Bisons are 2-6-1 in their spring schedule with seven games to play. The Herd won the game on Jack Murphy's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth. Moises Sierra and Andy LaRoche had two hits apiece.
The Blue Jays sent seven more players to minor-league camp Friday morning. The most prominent names on the list are veteran pitcher Ramon Ortiz, who started in the 2002 World Series for the Anaheim Angels, and St. Francis product Jim Negrych.
Negrych was a big surprise in big-league camp as he went 12 for 28, with his .429 average tied for third on the club. In the previous two years in Marlins and Pirates camp, Negrych had only four big-league at-bats in spring training.
"It looked like he had a good idea," said Jays manager John Gibbons. "You start throwing him in the games and he might have been the MVP of the camp to be honest with you. He opened up a lot of eyes. He's a gritty type player who can do a lot of things."
Also sent down by the Jays were infielder/DH Luis Jimenez, one of the stars of the Triple-A Home Run Derby held last July in Coca-Cola Field while representing the Tacoma Rainers; infielders Mike McCoy, Eugenio Velez and Ryan Schmipf; and pitcher Claudio Vargas.
Later Friday, the Jays announced they have claimed veteran International League pitcher Todd Redmond off waivers from Baltimore and optioned the right-hander to Buffalo. He has ranked in the top five in the IL in strikeouts three straight years, posting 142 in both 2010 and 2011 for Gwinnett.

Gas and oil drilling already have pumped tens of millions of dollars into the East Ohio economy. More - much more - is to come.
With the thousands of new jobs, bonanzas in lease payments to mineral rights owners and higher tax revenue will come concern about safety and environmental degradation. It is apparent already, as evidenced by protesters who disrupted Ohio Gov. John Kasich's State of the State speech Tuesday in Steubenville.
Condemnation of Kasich or any other local or state official is premature.
Responsible public officials, the governor included, understand the state needs to enact an updated set of regulations for the gas and oil industries. Fair but tough rules are being advocated. Kasich himself warned Tuesday, "You cannot degrade the environment at the same time you're producing this industry. ... The biggest companies know that you need to have tough environmental rules."
Later in the week, Attorney General Mike DeWine weighed in on the issue. He called for stiffer penalties on polluters in the gas and oil industries. And, on the matter of hydraulic fracturing, he demanded more disclosure of chemicals used in the process.
"Fracking," as some refer to the practice, is essential in modern gas and oil drilling. Yet many, including the protesters in Steubenville, worry some chemicals used are hazardous to the environment and to people who live near wells. Some of the major players in gas drilling already make public lists of chemicals they use.
Late last year, the West Virginia Legislature enacted a package of new regulations affecting the oil and gas industries. Pennsylvania officials are considering changes in their rules.
Indeed, it is time for Ohio to address the issue.
Kasich told a group of newspaper editors prior to his speech his administration and legislators have begun work on updated new regulations. He vowed not to "give away the store" to the industry.
But devising the new rules - ensuring they protect Ohioans while keeping the state competitive as a location for drilling - will take time. Much more than "fracking" is involved. As the governor noted, pipeline safety is a key consideration. So are other questions ranging from road maintenance to taxes and fees charged to drillers.
In West Virginia, no one in either industry or its critics was entirely pleased with new regulations on the gas and oil industries. Most seemed to agree what was approved by the Legislature involved reasonable compromises, however.
Ohio should proceed expeditiously but realistically on new rules. The sooner a package of proposals can be presented to the General Assembly, the sooner compromises needed to allow enactment can be made.
For that reason, we urge the Kasich administration to make drafting a set of regulations one of its top priorities during the next few months.

Tonight we did something different. Since it was New Year's and no one wanted to spend all afternoon slaving away in the kitchen, we decided that everyone would contribute one dish to tonight's meal. Sort of an in-house potluck, with Indian being the cuisine of choice. I, of course, made dhal (I am starting to feel like a one trick pony, but I do enjoy that dish!) and a tandoori tofu that is not worth mentioning again. Vegan Mom and Mom-in-Law made Sweet and Sour Balti Chickpeas and Curried Cauliflower and Potatoes, and Vegan Dad-in-Law made Zucchini in a Tomato Sauce and the basmati rice. It was quite a spread, and no one had to work too hard on a holiday. Huzzah! Here are two of the dishes--the other will follow tomorrow on leftover day.
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 onion, halved and sliced
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp plain soy yogurt
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp mango powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2/3 cup of water (more if needed)
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tbsp plain soy milk
1. Heat oil in a large pan or wok. Fry onion over med-hi until golden brown (about 10 mins). Add garlic and dry another 2 mins.
2. While onions are frying, mix tomato paste, yogurt, spices, lemon juice, salt, and sugar together. Add to pan and bring to bubbling.
3. Add in chickpeas and water, bring to bubbling, and simmer for 15 mins (or more to let the flavours develop). Add more water if it gets too dry.
4. Add in cilantro and soy milk. Cook for 2 mins and serve.
- 2 tbsp oil
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- ½ tsp mustard seeds
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp tumeric
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 small zucchini, sliced
- 1 red pepper, sliced
- 2 generous tbsp tomato paste
- 1 14oz can chopped tomatoes
- 2/3 cup water (or so)
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tsp garam masala
1. Heat oil large pan or wok on medium heat. Fry cumin and mustard seeds for 1-2 mins (until they sizzle and splutter). Add onion and garlic and fry for 5 mins.
2. Add tumeric, chili powder, coriander, cumin, and salt and fry 2 mins.
3. Add in zucchini and peppers and cook for 5 mins. Then add in tomato paste, tomatoes, and enough water to make a thick sauce. Mix well. Cover and cook until veggies are soft but not mushy.
4. Add in cilantro and garam masala. Cook for 2-3 more mins and serve.

Weekly Links à la Mode (via IFB)
I've been wanting to feel more connected to the fashion blogging community because I do find a lot of inspiration in what my peers are doing and want to become better friends with them!
I joined the Independent Fashion Bloggers Network when I started blogging and while I read their advice articles fairly regularly I've never really participated in the community.
I'm trying to change that and one way I can think of is participating in IFB's weekly Links A La Mode round up.
Couture Today: An Exploration
Edited by: Ann Colville Somma of Holier than Now
Couture: clothes painstakingly custom-made from the finest materials; alternatively, something Juicy - or even Filthy. It's hard not to chafe at the degradation of the term, which is technically reserved for members of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture (houses that create made-to-order pieces for private clients, amongst other criteria). Looking at creations recently sent down the runways, it's sad to think artisanal techniques like hand beading may not survive in a world of rhinestoned terry sweatsuits.
But in fact, the handmade movement is ever gaining steam with the support of many bloggers. "Couture" may be associated with impossibly high prices, but in your own hands it's an affordable way to obtain one-of-a-kind style. This week, review Couture Week round ups from The Well-Appointed Catwalk, La Chanelfile and more - then become your own private client, with tips from Fashion Butter, The Fashion Planner, and Twitch Vintage.

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture FW 2010/2011
If you were a glamorous IT girl in 1920s Paris JPG's fall/winter 2010 haute couture collection would be your ultimate dream wardrobe. It was certainly Dita Von Teese's idea of heaven- she even graced the runway twice! I'm sure that Lady Gaga has already placed an order for all of that insane head wear!
For me this collection was just IT for haute couture this season. Yes, it has a lot of black but it was also exquisite, classic, Parisian, chic, sexy and perfect.
I have nothing bad to say...I'm too busy drooling!
Thanks to Now Fashion for the pictures!
Click the thumbnails for a better look!
FYI: I had written a really amazing review for this collection. I saved multiple drafts as I was writing. Unfortunately, I saved them to blogger and when I went to "publish" I got an "error" message. This is probably only the second time this has happened in the three years I've been using it but I'm still pissed off.

The Official LiverKick.com Rankings
- Published in Rankings
LiverKick Rankings Updated on 5/26/2016
They say that the news never sleeps, and in that regard, neither do I, apparently. Keeping Dutch hours leads you to find pretty cool stuff in the wee hours of the morning, and it turns out that Badr Hari's return opponent has been announced by It's Showtime, officially, as has the rest of the Lyon card and it is lining up to be absolutely incredible.
The main event features the return of the Bad Boy, Badr Hari! Badr will be coming back after a year layoff due to some nagging legal issues, and his return opponent has been hotly debated for the past few weeks or so. The long-standing rumor was that the fight between Gokhan Saki and Badr Hari that was originally airmarked for the Amsterdam ArenA show would materialize in Lyon, but instead local kickboxer Tony Gregory has been called back into action to fight Badr Hari. This is a great return bout for Badr Hari, as it gives him a chance to hone his skills and gives him a bit of a cushion before heading back into the deep waters. Tony Gregory retired from kickboxing a few years ago to pursue a boxing career, but after disappointing results he finds himself back in the kickboxing mix, this time against one of the most dangerous fighters in the kickboxing world.
Tyrone Spong steps back into the It's Showtime ring, this time at Heavyweight as he'll take on Igor Mihaljevic, a Croatian Heavyweight. Igor provides a stiff challenge at Heavyweight for Spong, who is right now training with King Mo Lawal in Holland. Spong looks to cement his spot as one of the elite Heavyweights in the world by taking the fight to Igor here. Paul Slowinski's jam-packed year doesn't stop just yet, as he will take on the man that is more of a beast, the Romanian Daniel Ghita. Ghita looks to be heading into his fight with Hesdy Gerges in a few weeks, and a fight against Slowinski will provide another challenge, but will Slowinski just be a stepping stone for Ghita?
Then we move down from Heavyweight to Middleweight, as It's Showtime's 70kg MAX division fills out the rest of the card, with two-time K-1 MAX World Grand Prix Champion Giorgio Petrosyan takes on a fighter that last year put on one of the best fights imaginable against Mike Zambidis, Chahid Oulad El Hadj. This is a huge fight for Chahid, and for Petrosyan it is just another day at the office. With It's Showtime planning a 70kg MAX tournament in July and both men rumored to be involved, a win here is huge for momentum.
It's Showtime's 70kg MAX champion defends his crown finally, as Chris Ngimbi looks to ward off Willy Borrell. Ngimbi's title win has been disputed by some fans, so a strong performance by Ngimbi can help solidify his spot in It's Showtime this year and help build momentum for the MAX tournament in Russia this July. Rounding out the card is Abder Penda facing off against Marat Grigorian at 70kg, with both men looking to leave a big impression on the international kickboxing scene.
I'll say this, It's Showtime hasn't disappointed yet and keeps marching forward for what looks to be a banner year. I know many fans are upset with the lack of K-1, but It's Showtime is really churning out the big cards. [source]
Amidst all the bad K-1 news, Europe's top fighting organization, It's Showtime, has been a hot topic of conversation lately. As plans for 2011 come together, we're seeing more and more events announced by the company, who find themselves constantly expanding their product throughout the world. But in the middle of all the positive news came an unfortunate announcement last week – due to a planned co-promotion with K-1 falling through, It's Showtime would not run their big annual show at the Amsterdam Arena in 2011.
Between this latest news, all the rumors swirling around K-1, Badr Hari's return, and various other stories, now seemed like a good time to speak to the always forthcoming It's Showtime president Simon Rutz. As always, Mr. Rutz offered plenty of insight into their dealings with K-1 and so much more.
Read on for part 1 of this 2 part exclusive LiverKick.com interview, as we get the story on exactly what happened with the canceled Amsterdam Arena event and the state of affairs for K-1 and It's Showtime.
LiverKick.com: It's a shame you may not run in the Amsterdam Arena this year. When did you begin to think this show might not happen?
Simon Rutz: We have already known for many years that K-1 has big problems, but a few months ago they said to me that they have a new investor. That was the reason why I agreed to cooperate on the Amsterdam Arena event in May this year. Around Christmas I felt that there was something wrong with their situation because they didn't answer my requests anymore.
LK: What were the plans for the show? Did you have fighters already lined up?
SR: When It's Showtime and K-1 cooperate I always give my suggestions, and most of the time they use them. My suggestions for this year were: Badr Hari vs. Gokhan Saki; Peter Aerts vs. Tyrone Spong; and Hesdy Gerges vs. Alistair Overeem, Errol Zimmerman, or someone else.
LK: We've heard a lot about K-1 not paying fighters, and I know Giorgio Petrosyan had problems with that last year. Are there It's Showtime or Black Label fighters who are waiting to be paid by K-1?
SR: Yes, the following fighters have not been paid for a fight: Melvin Manhoef, Tyrone Spong, Daniel Ghita, Hesdy Gerges, Gago Drago, Pajonsuk, Dzevad Poturak, Chahid, and Giorgio Petrosyan still needs his win bonus from the last K-1 MAX tournament. It is a lot of money! I never let our fighters fight before they are paid for their last fight. I hear that some other fighters haven't gotten their money for 4 fights. It is a sad situation for all the fighters.
LK: Given all these problems, what, in your opinion, does K-1 need to do to survive?
SR: They need a lot of money, and they must ask my advice (and do something with that advice) because they do a lot of stupid things.
LK: If they don't get that money, and they don't survive, what will it mean for kickboxing and for It's Showtime?
SR: If they don't survive it is very bad for the sport and for many fighters. For It's Showtime, it would mean that we are the number 1 kickboxing organization in the world and everybody will look to us. We are getting busy like never before. We have already seen a movement from K-1 to It's Showtime. Almost every day I talk with people around the world who want to organize an It's Showtime event in their country.
LK: Would you ever consider buying out K-1?
SR: Why should I do that? I have my own brand and company who is healthy and is going very well. Also, what am I buying then? Only a lot of problems! The [K-1] name is very strong, but I already have a good name. I will keep my money in my pocket!
LK: You said you are talking with people around the world, and this looks like a huge year for you with new events in England, Germany, and Spain. Any details on those shows?
SR: Our schedule for the year is now: March 6 – Amsterdam, Holland; March 26 – Brussels, Belgium; May 14 – Lyon, France (not signed yet); May – Manheim, Germany (not signed yet); June 11 – Warsaw, Poland; July 23 – Sochi, Russia; August 27 – Sarajevo, Bosnia; September 18 – Amsterdam, Holland; September 24 – Manchester, England (not signed yet); October 8 – Geneva, Switzerland; End of December in Amsterdam for the It's Showtime Christmas Edition again. We are also talking about It's Showtime events in Spain, Ukraine, and Australia. As you see, we are really busy. We have at least 10 big events this year, maybe 12.
LK: You know I have to ask – any further info on possibly running in the United States?
SR: I am getting more and more interest for It's Showtime events in the US. Last week, one of the TV stations from the US bought our It's Showtime events, so that is starting. I also am speaking with several people to see what the possibilities are in the US. But when we start, we will start slowly with events for 2,000 people.
LK: With all this expansion, where do you want It's Showtime to be in 2 years?
SR: Pff......... 6 months ago I said that in 5 years It's Showtime would organize between 15 and 20 events a year, but we are going so fast, maybe next year we will already be doing 15 events a year!
Check back tomorrow for the conclusion of this interview as we discuss Remy Bonjasky's retirement, Cosmo Alexandre, the Hesdy Gerges/Semmy Schilt controversy, and of course, Badr Hari.

Welcome back to the LiverKick.com rankings. These rankings are an attempt to break down the top 10 fighters in three different weight classes - Heavyweight, for fighters above the 85kg limit, Middleweight, for fighters at the 70-72.5kg limit, and Light Heavyweight, for fighters at the 77-84kg limit. Our rankings are based on in-ring accomplishments and recent wins and loses. We hope they reflect where these fighters currently stand, although we recognize that all rankings are inherently subjective.
May 2011
We've decided to take a different approach to the rankings, in the past Fraser Coffeen handled them, but as many are aware, Fraser has since had to step down from his responsibilities at LiverKick.com and has since moved on to other ventures. Our Top 10 list a while back moved on to being a top 25 to reflect a uniformity with our then home of SBNation. We've decided to move back to only including the Top 10 and to opt for the inclusion of Light Heavyweight (77kg - 84kg) to reflect the depth of talent in that weight class.
Former #1 Alistair Overeem has been removed from the rankings after some intense discussion, we've come to the conclusion that as long as he is contracted with Zuffa the chances of Overeem fighting in another organization as a kickboxer has decreased to about zero. We are sad to see a talent such as his be confined to only Mixed Martial Arts but will continue to cheer him on.
This means that there was a lot of reshuffling to the weight classes for them to make sense, as with K-1's silence and a sincere doubt that there will be a K-1 World Heavyweight Grand Prix this year, we take a more global look at the weight classes and rankings for them. It is without dispute that the most accomplished kickboxer at Heavyweight/Super Heavyweight, and the man to beat is Semmy Schilt. Schilt does hold a WGP loss to Peter Aerts in 2011 and a loss to Badr Hari in 2010, but outside of that his record is pristine.
After a year of inaction, Badr Hari returned to the ring against a less-than-game Gregory Tony. Tony's performance might have been shameful, but Hari was in good shape, kept his cool and there is a promise of a bout with Tyrone Spong or Daniel Ghita on the horizon for It's Showtime in the Fall. For his recent accomplishments, though, without a doubt Badr Hari is one of the men to beat and secures his spot at #2. Mr. K1, Peter Aerts shocked the world taking it to Sem Schilt in December, making the Finals of the Heavyweight GP. Aerts had stated before the Grand Prix that it would be his last and he is contemplating retirement, so under those circumstances and for his recent accomplishments, the #3 slot is a great fit for him.
#4 Gokhan Saki is in action at the end of this month in the finals of the Glory World Series Heavyweight Tournament, where he'll take on Brice Guidon. While the tournament was not the toughest road for Saki, a win in it would further cement his spot in the top 5. We hope to see him against other top 5 competition soon. #5 Hesdy Gerges has once again been released from police custody and will be in action this weekend at It's Showtime. His bout with #6 Daniel Ghita was the biggest Heavyweight fight of the year so far and his win cemented his spot above Ghita. #7 Tyrone Spong is where things get messy, Spong holds a victory over #8 Kyotaro last year, who himself is largely inactive without K-1, but has a loss to #10 Jerome Le Banner. Le Banner of course has his forfeit loss to Kyotaro but little else outside of the Spong win recently. #9 Ewerton Teixeira is another fighter who only fights for K-1 so is in a state of limbo for the time being.
Our bud Steven Wright has always made it clear how much he loves the sport of kickboxing. He makes his money by helping out some of the best MMA fighters in the world to hone their standup, but his passion has always been kickboxing. For about as long as I've known Steven he has been talking about his documentary. Steven is a lot like me in the regards of he always has a lot going on, but he always stuck to his guns; he was going to release his epic kickboxing documentary at some point.
So we waited and waited and I at times wondered if he had forgotten about it. He hasn't, not at all. Here is the first four episodes of Shin on Shin Series, with the focus on Europe.
Shin on Shin Series: EP1 The Fall, Hated Dominance, Unappreciated Brilliance
Shin on Shin Series: EP2 Alexey Ignashov The First Next Big Thing, Badr Hari The People's Champ
Shin on Shin Series: EP3 The Wages of the Wars, In Honor of those we lost...
Shin on Shin Series: EP4 They Call it a War
You know that you are doing something right when you get emails and tweets asking you do to more of something. Especially in the age of the internet where just about everything sucks according to somebody and comments sections on just about every site turns into armchair grammarians, historians and experts of all kinds decide to dig their heels into the sand and prove their internet superiority. So you asked for more of the LiverKick podcast and we are more than happy than to bring it directly to you.
This week Rian (@rianscalia) and myself (@liverkickdotcom / @locuststar) talk about It's Showtime 55, looking through the card and giving analysis on the future for these fighters and some of the divisions. We take a long, hard look at how these fights affect the rest of 2012 in the Kickboxing world, especially at Heavyweight. The retirement of Badr Hari and rising of Daniel Ghita and Errol Zimmerman really paints a new picture at Heavyweight.
So go ahead and give it a listen. Into and outtro provided by my own project called Night Terrain (@nightterrain).
There is something to be said for a sharply-dressed man, and that man is Badr Hari. Badr Hari makes his return to the ring tomorrow, May 14th for It's Showtime. Today's photo of the day is a no-brainer, a photo of Badr Hari from the presser It's Showtime held today in Lyon. Photo courtesy of our friends at Staredown.nl.
It's Showtime 55 was an explosive show, and in the realm of the Heavyweight division helped to organize it and make some sense of what was a rather confusing division. The retirement of Badr Hari was the big story for this show, and quite honestly, Badr Hari looked better than he has looked in a long, long time in the ring. He was focused, in control and defending just about everything that Saki had to offer. It is a shame that we will not get to watch him fight again for an undisclosed amount of time, but he is off to try his hand at Boxing where he will try to become a star in America.
What is clear is that Daniel Ghita's win over Hesdy Gerges has proven that Ghita is finally making good on his potential. Ghita burst onto the international scene in 2009 when he first appeared in the It's Showtime ring, stopping Tomas Hron with deadly low kicks. He then went on to win the K-1 WGP Final Qualifying Tournament in Japan three months later, which gave him the unenviable task of making his K-1 World Grand Prix Final 16 debut against Semmy Schilt. Ghita was yet to become a complete fighter and Semmy was able to pick him apart in typical Schilt fashion. The years that have followed have been important learning years for Ghita, with the last two years in particular with him realizing that he needed to improve his hands to hang with the elite Heavyweights.
Not many events in the kickboxing world can leave you speechless, but the retirement of one of Heavyweight Kickboxing's biggest stars in the past ten years will do just that. The big secret announcement from It's Showtime was originally scheduled for Friday but was then pushed back to today. In the meantime, word got out that Badr Hari would take on Gokhan Saki on January 28th for It's Showtime. To many, this was the big announcement that It's Showtime was trying to keep under wraps, but it would turn out to be much bigger.
Badr Hari has spoken about his desire to enter the world of Boxing for a long time now, much more seriously over the past year. This includes talk of possible Olympic Boxing that seemed to die off and talking with Michael Schiavello in a Voice Versus episode about possibly leaving kickboxing for boxing. Add in the steady decline of K-1 over the past few years and Badr Hari's legal troubles and kickboxing became less and less his passion.
Tonight It's Showtime sent around a press release announcing Badr Hari's retirement from kickboxing on January 28th against his hand-selected opponent of Gokhan Saki. The irony is, of course, that Gokhan Saki might do exactly the same thing next year and pass on Kickboxing to enter into the Boxing or MMA world. It's Showtime also casts some serious doubt onto the possibility of the K-1 World Grand Prix;
|If K-1 will host a World Grand Prix this year, Badr will also participate to that. The Grand Prix Final is scheduled for December 10 in China. If this World Grand Prix will take place, depends if K-1 will be able to pay its debts to IT'S SHOWTIME and others. If not, the fight on January 28 will be Badr's only remaining fight as a kickboxer.
This is huge, if not crushing news to kickboxing fans around the world and good news for Boxing.
It has been too long (again), hasn't it? The LiverKick Podcast makes its return after two weeks of absence with all of the latest news from the Kickboxing world. This week we take a look at the It's Showtime, SuperKombat and Fight Code cards that went down this weekend, as well as a look forward for K-1 and the Glory World Series..

Three men were charged this week with running an illegal drug operation out of a Parker Avenue home in North Buffalo, city Chief of Detectives Dennis J. Richards announced Wednesday evening.
Thomas C. Loening, 60, of the Parker Avenue address; Scott M. Utke, 39, of Cleveland, Ohio; and Frederick J. Hayden-Larsen, 54, of Rochester were taken into custody about 6 p.m. Tuesday, Richards said.
All three men were charged with felony counts of criminal possession of controlled substances, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of narcotic pills outside their original container.
Narcotics Squad detectives, under the command of Lts. Paul R. Delano and Michael J. Flowers, used a search warrant issued by Chief City Court Judge Thomas P. Amodeo and seized in the home near Hertel Avenue a quantity of illegal narcotics, including crystallized methamphetamine and Ketamine, Oxycodone, crack pipes, a digital scale and packaging. A quantity of marijuana was also seized in a 2009 Kia driven by Hayden-Larson, Richards said.
Richard said the investigation of the alleged drug operation was conducted by Detectives Shawn D. Adams and Raymond M. Krug. Narcotics investigators were assisted by Officer Dennis J. Kessler and his K-9 partner Duke, who was utilized in the search of the home for drugs.
Richards called the drug raid the latest of over 630 search warrants that have been executed throughout the city, so far this year "as the Buffalo Police Department continues to rid the community of illegal weapons, narcotics and other evidence linked to criminal activities."

Can you define these popular missing words?

For those who like to start their own seeds, either for vegetable or flower gardens, there are two little words that can bring about feelings of dread and despair:?"damping off."
Even if you've never heard the words before, if youve tried to start seeds indoors prior to putting them outside for summer, you likely have encountered the fungal disease that claims the life of tender young plants before they even have a chance.
After meticulously preparing containers, carefully planting the small, vulnerable seeds in the soil, watering gently to avoid run off and providing just enough artificial light and warmth, we anxiously wait for those small new plants breaking through the soil. No one can say it isn't exciting to witness the result of our work, especially after waiting out a long, cold winter. We look at our plants with hope that our gardens will be filled with exciting colors and tasty treats that will see us through the next several months.
Many of us, however, have experienced the heartbreak suddenly finding our plants laying on their sides, wilted and withered, with no chance of recovery. It has happened to nearly everyone I?know at one time or another. It has happened to me.
Questions about damping off, what it is and why it happens are most often answered with one simple sentence, "It is a fungal disease."?But the fact is, damping off is a generic term that refers to several soil borne diseases including various types of root rot diseases and miscellaneous fungi species that are lumped together into that one term we call damping off.
Some seeds become infected as soon as they meet the soil, while others don't succumb until the seeds have germinated, and what were once healthy looking seedlings suddenly fall over. Sometimes insects are blamed and some gardeners may blame themselves wondering if they over- or under-watered, left the plants in the light too long or not enough.
Since this is the time to start planting those seeds, six-to-eight weeks before our average final frost date and around the time the weather here in northeast Ohio has calmed itself into something more dependable, it seemed like a good time to explain damping off disease and offer tips on how to prevent it.
It goes without saying that we should only purchase healthy, disease-free plants and seeds. After I?lost nearly an entire tomato crop to damping off several years ago, I?learned to start my seeds in a sterile, commercial, soilless mixture. Soilless mix is primarily made up of sphagnum peat moss that has had several other components added to it, such as vermiculite, clay, perlite, pine bark and other things finely ground.
It is also important to use a medium that drains well and to use sterile containers. This means if you dumped out last year's containers and stored them without washing, you need to not only wash them now but to soak them for a few minutes in a solution of one part household bleach with nine parts water.
Years ago, I?tried starting seeds in trays, but soon found several things occurred when plants started growing. Not only does the damping off disease spread throughout the entire tray, but if the seedlings do survive, it is difficult to untangle tender young roots when the time comes for transplanting. Damping off diseases love moist wet conditions, and crowded plants with little room for air to circulate around their stems is a perfect environment for diseases.
Now I?only start seeds in individual containers with two or three seeds in each peat pot, peat pellet or planting cell. Once the seedlings germinate and the true leaves start to form, I?sacrifice the weaker seedlings, cutting them off at the soil line.
Give the seedlings enough light. If you don't have a bright enough window, and most don't, put them under artificial lights. Using one regular fluorescent and one cool white bulb in a light fixture will simulate sunlight and ins more reasonably priced than an expensive grow-light set up.
Light fixtures should be installed so they can be raised as the plants grow. Lights should be no more than two inches about the top of the plants. When plants have to reach for the light, they develop thin, spindly stems that are weak and susceptible to disease.
Moving air is important for young seedlings. Place a small fan on a table or open a window on a cool spring day when there is a faint breeze.
There are fungal chemical controls available, although they are taken off the market nearly as quickly as they appear because they are, after all, poisons and are easily abused. I?don't like to use preventive chemicals while gardening, including when starting seeds, and have had good success with these methods without turning to fungicides or other poisons.

[Download the NAMI dual diagnosis fact sheet.]
Dual Diagnosis: Substance Abuse and Mental Illness
Dual diagnosis is a term used to describe people with mental illness who have coexisting problems with drugs and/or alcohol. The relationship between the two is complex, and the treatment of people with co-occurring substance abuse (or substance dependence) and mental illness is more complicated than the treatment of either condition alone. This is unfortunately a common situation—many people with mental illness have ongoing substance abuse problems, and many people who abuse drugs and alcohol also experience mental illness.
Certain groups of people with mental illness (e.g., males, individuals of lower socioeconomic status, military veterans and people with more general medical illnesses) are at increased risk of abusing drugs such as marijuana, opiates, cocaine and other stimulants, and alcohol. Recent scientific studies have suggested that nearly one-third of people with all mental illnesses and approximately one-half of people with severe mental illnesses (including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia) also experience substance abuse. Conversely, more than one-third of all alcohol abusers and more than one-half of all drug abusers are also battling mental illness.
What is the relationship between substance use and mental illness?
The relationship between mental illness and substance abuse or dependency is complex. These relationships are often considered in the following ways:
Abuse of drugs and alcohol always results in a worse prognosis for a person with mental illness. People who are actively using are less likely to follow through with the treatment plans they created with their treaters: they are less likely to adhere to their medication regimens and more likely to miss appointments which leads to more psychiatric hospitalizations and other adverse outcomes. Active users are also less likely to receive adequate medical care for similar reasons and are more likely to experience severe medical complications and early death. People with mental illness who abuse substances are also at increased risk of impulsive and potentially violent acts. Perhaps most concerning is that people who abuse drugs and alcohol are more likely to both attempt suicide and to die from their suicide attempts.
Individuals with mental illness and active substance or alcohol abuse are less likely to achieve lasting sobriety. They may be more likely to experience severe complications of their substance abuse, to end up in legal trouble from their substance use and to become physically dependent on their substance of choice.
What treatments are available for individuals with dual diagnosis?
Treatment of individuals with mental illness and substance abuse is complicated as previously discussed. Of primary importance is addressing any life-threatening complications of intoxication. The following situations would require immediate medical care in the hospital setting:
Drug and alcohol withdrawal can lead to medical emergencies requiring immediate treatment. This can occur when a person who has been regularly using a particular substance has become "addicted" (i.e., the body has become physically dependent on the substance) and abruptly stops using. Here are some examples that may require immediate medical care in the hospital setting:
Therefore, many people seek assistance in going through the process of stopping their drug and alcohol abuse. This can include inpatient detoxification which can involve admission to a hospital—either a general hospital or a detoxification facility—and treatment with the appropriate medications to avoid serious complications of acute drug and alcohol withdrawal.
Multiple scientific studies have shown that psychiatric treatments are more effective in people who are not actively abusing drugs and alcohol. Once individuals are safely "detoxed" from drugs or alcohol—or stop abusing drugs that they may not necessarily be "addicted" to—treatment of underlying mental illness may be more successful. This is not to say that people with mental illness cannot be treated while they are still using, rather that treatment of mental illness is generally more effective once one is sober and more able to actively participate in treatment.
Many options exist for people who are newly sober or who are trying to avoid relapse on drugs and alcohol. These can include inpatient rehabilitation centers or supportive housing (e.g., sober houses, group homes or residential treatment facilities). Other people may choose to return home to their friends and family who can be helpful in encouraging newly-sober individuals to continue their efforts. This can be critically important as a significant majority of people will relapse into drug and alcohol abuse at some point in their lives, even if they are eventually able to achieve long-lasting sobriety.
Some people find therapy to be a helpful part of maintaining their sobriety. This can include individual therapy (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy) as well as self-help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous or Smart Recovery.
Some people may also talk with their doctors about certain medications that can be helpful in maintaining sobriety. The following medication treatments have been safely tested in multiple studies including FDA medication trials. For people with alcoholism, available medications include disulfiram (Antabuse), acamprosate (Campral) and naltrexone (Revia). For people with opiate abuse, available medications include naltrexone (Revia, Vivitrol), methadone and buprenorphine (Subutex, Suboxone). Given how complicated these choices may be, it is necessary for any individual with dual diagnosis and their loved ones to discuss medication management strategies with their doctors.
Families, friends and others can be most helpful in providing empathic and non-judgmental support of their loved one. With this support, the proper medical treatment and effective psychosocial treatments, many people with dual diagnosis will be able to actively participate in their journey to recovery.

Lake Tahoe's backcountry users once again can log their vertical feet in an attempt to score prizes and a hefty donation for the Sierra Avalanche Center.
The Tahoe Backcountry Vertical Challenge is back on and organizers hope that this will be the season that their goal is reached.
"We've challenged the entire backcountry community to a cumulative goal of 15 million vertical feet of uphill travel," said Brendan Madigan, owner of the North Shore shop Alpenglow, the event's main sponsor. "Last year we grew about 300 percent, but we came up short about halfway through. Considering the winter we had, that's pretty good."
The Tahoe Vertical Challenge is based around TahoeVertical.com, where users input the amount of vertical feet traveled each day they've been in the backcountry. The website calculates the total combined vertical feet of all users as well as ranks the users based on their individual totals.
Because the site allows each user to monitor their own backcountry stats day-to-day or season-to-season, it's become a useful tool that's led some to simply compete with themselves, Madigan said.
"People use it as a personal challenge," Madigan said. "If nothing else it's just a good database for personal data."
The men and women with the top three totals in the competition win prizes, including alpine touring boots, a GPS system and a helmet and goggles combo pack. There are also bimonthly raffle prizes and gift certificates for personal progress for anyone who has registered any vertical feet.
Though some do it for the rewards, the underlying focus of the competition is to raise awareness about avalanche safety by supporting the Sierra Avalanche Center, Madigan said. The center and its small staff of forecasters depend on fundraising and donations. And this event is a big part of that, said SAC Program Director Jenny Hatch.
"It rallies the backcountry community together," Hatch said. "It really does have a big impact."
This year, users of TahoeVertical.com can add snow conditions and their own avalanche observations into website. With only two professional avalanche observers, the information helps the center get a more well-rounded picture of the avalanche danger that exists at any given time, Hatch said.
Last year, more than 240 people registered for Tahoe Backcountry Vertical Challenge and logged more than 7 million vertical feet, with some individuals totaling in the hundreds of thousands. This year, Madigan hopes for more users, more snow and more vertical feet.
"This year we hope to make it," he said.
The event started Nov. 15 and runs through April 15, 2013, and is free to enter. All uphill travel must be human-powered.

BASCOM - Just 16 seconds remained in the half, time for perhaps a couple plays. Then again, why work for two when a simple toss sweep will do?
The workings may not be all that simple, but Mohawk junior Gunnar Johnson made it look that way with a 53-yard touchdown sprint for 25-7 lead over Hopewell-Loudon here Friday night.
From there, it was simply a matter of maintaining as the Warriors posted a 39-20 Midland Athletic League win.
Johnson, who won league offensive player of the week honors after rushing for 324 yards and five touchdowns in a romp over North Baltimore last week, was even better this time around.
The Warrior junior gashed the Chieftain defense for 329 yards on 23 carries and three touchdowns as Mohawk won its second straight after opening the season with four tough losses.
"We've had a lot of really good kids but we've never had anybody who was able to do that," Warrior coach Erik Baker said of Johnson's back-to-back 300-plus-yard games.
"We really got out of the power and counter game and we're doing more zone," he said. "And he flourishes in it. You give Gunnar six inches and he's gone."
If Johnson's overall game was impressive, his big finish to the first half was incredible. His last three attempts before the break were touchdown runs of 54, 80 and 53 yards.
Three carries, 187 yards, three scores.
The Warriors trailed 7-6 when an H-L fumble put them in business on their own 41. On the third snap, Johnson took a pitch on the toss sweep around right end for a 12-7 lead with 6:36 to go in the half.
The Chieftains countered with three first downs in a 48-yard drive, but Cody Malone (22 carries, 177 yards) was stopped inches short of a fourth advance at the Mohawk 17.
Eric Maskey carried for 3 yards and then Johnson ripped off his 80-yard touchdown run and the margin was 18-7.
While the Warrior defense was recording a couple sacks of H-L quarterback Derek Runion, Baker called time out twice in the hope of getting one more shot. And Johnson made it work with yet another big burst.
"This felt great. It was a lot better than last week," Johnson said while crediting the likes of seniors Tyler Baird, Collin Fox, Devon Fredritz and Bryan Schube, junior Arin Mullins and sophomores Tyler Pummell and Derrick Sowers up front.
"There were some big holes," he said. "All I had to do was run through them."
"Huge, huge for us," Baker said of the close of the half. "We saw an opportunity. I'm not one to typically try to save time with timeouts. We had a lead and I thought we were going to get good field position and Gunnar just had that spark going."
The burst was equal parts lift for the Warriors and disappointment for the Chieftains.
"We said before the game that he's one of the top athletes in the league and difficult to tackle," H-L coach Jeremy Nutter said. "We proved that he's difficult to tackle by not doing a very good job.
"We didn't have a very good offensive possession there right before the half and clearly didn't defend very well to give up that score," he said.
Johnson's 59-yard run set up the game's first score, a 3-yard run by Eric Maskey with 5:39 left in the first period.
But Hopewell-Loudon gained the upper hand with 38 seconds left in the half when Runion's fake handoff to Malone drew defenders and he scooted around left end for a 49-yard score. Adam Bour's kick made it 7-6.
In the second half, Chieftains trimmed the margin to 25-12 on Malone's 1-yard smash with 6:27 left in the third period. The score was set by Runion's 42-yard pass to Ryan Lommerse.
But Mohawk followed with an 11-play, 58-yard drive capped by Maskey's 6-yard TD.
Logan Stillberger hit a 32-yard touchdown on a counter for Mohawk and Runion hooked up with Jordan Stewart for a 69-yard TD to close the scoring.
"I give them a lot of credit," Nutter said. "They were physical, more physical than us tonight. They were tougher than we were and offensively, they did what they wanted to do."
The loss dropped H-L (4-2, 2-1) out of a first-place tie with Carey (3-2, 2-0). If Calvert (1-4, 1-1) can pull off an upset at Frost-Kalnow Stadium tonight, it would create a six-way tie for the top spot.

Just a bit of a whim really, I'm re-doing my biggest planted tank over the coming weeks, and I wanted to move away from tons of teeny fish to a few bigger fish. My initial plan was angelfish. Then I got thinking, I wonder if there's a FW puffer I could keep as a singleton in a planted tank? Tank won't have co2 or any fancy-shmancy stuff. Soil substrate with sand and stone mix on top, so diggers are pretty much out.
Any ideas if there's anything out there I could look into? Couldn't have a big lump like a Fahaka, have to be a bit smaller! Around Mushroom's size ideally.

The Stetson rowing team competed in a mixed-race scrimmage on Saturday along with High Point University and Embry-Riddle University on Lake Beresford in DeLand.
Teams competed in 2000m races in various boats to allow for the greatest amount of participation as possible.
The weather and water were perfect and the Hatters got their first taste of racing this spring. Stetson had just come off a week of spring training and looked forward to racing High Point and Embry-Riddle. High Point had also been training on Lake Beresford for the past week.
Races were set up to put similar speed boats together as not every school had all boat classes.
"I told the team that there is no defense in rowing, the only thing to control is one's own boat," Stetson head coach Mark Wilson said. "While the results from the Novice Women's 8 and Novice Men's 8 were not what we had hoped the team learned that there is no substitute for working hard. They had a new lineup due to eligibility issues and that hurt the Women's 8 and the Men's 8 was overstroked by High Point who did a nice job of racing."
The men's pair and Novice Men's 1x had very good races and both saw good results while racing bigger and faster boats.
"I was very pleased with these men and the approach they took out on the water today," Wilson said. "They knew they were racing the 8's in their race and they both did really well.
"The two Stetson women's 4s also raced well and while the times put the lightweight boat ahead of the Open 4, I was pleased that both showed a solid race," Wilson added. "These two boats came together in the Open 8 race and did a nice job of racing through the men's 4 and almost caught the Men's 8 from High Point which was good to see.
"Thanks to all the teams that participated and the families and fans who came out to support the student-athletes," Wilson said.
Stetson will host another event on Saturday with Temple, the U.S. Coast Guard, and Simmons.

NEWELL - Like the toy fire truck of a little boy's dreams, Engine 74 is shiny enough, new enough and fancy enough to fulfill the wish list of any fire department in West Virginia - paid or volunteer.
"It's a very nice truck," Newell assistant fire Chief Tim Steele said on Monday. "Compared to the last truck we had, this one rides like a Cadillac. And it'll turn on a dime."
The pumper rescue truck, delivered on Sunday, was on order for almost a year and is the latest addition to the fleet of the Newell Volunteer Fire Department.

At a price tag of $431,000, Engine 74 replaces a 1995 two-man rescue pumper that the department sold to a volunteer fire department in Downs, Kan., last year.
The 2012 truck, manufactured by the Sutphen Corp. of Dublin, Ohio, has all the latest amenities and safety features - an enclosed cab with seating for eight, a computerized pump panel, a 1,000-gallon tank, capacity to pump 1,750 gallons a minute, a 20-gallon Class A foam tank, air conditioning, secure storage space for helmets and air bottles, a remote control deluge gun and a rumbler siren.
The latter is a siren that motorists and pedestrians can not only hear but feel. "It sends out pulse waves," Steele said.
The 21.5-ton truck, with a 65-gallon gas tank, joins a fleet that includes a 1999 pumper, a 1988 pumper, a 1994 tanker, a 2002 quick-response truck, a river rescue boat and two smaller boats, Steele said.
"It'll be very beneficial not only to us but also to the entire community," Steele said. "We feel it's a great upgrade for the department - a much-needed upgrade. It means better fire protection and EMS service for the residents of Newell."
The department began planning for the replacement truck about a year ago, with representatives attending the Pittsburgh Fire Rescue & EMS Expo and talking to dealers. The department placed an order with the Sutphen Corp. and submitted a list of specifications.
Firefighters who picked the truck up on Sunday received three hours of in-service training from Sutphen. "They went over every inch of that truck with us," Steele said.
In addition to the Sutphen chassis and body, the truck has tool mounts and shelves manufactured and installed by Fire & Marine Inc., of Springfield, Ohio.
To pay for the truck, the department held its first-ever Jeep Wrangler and cash giveaway in November. Although it didn't quite meet expectations, the event raised money toward the purchase of the truck and laid the groundwork for what officials hope will be an annual event - the Fall Frenzy.
The department also obtained bank financing and received donations from several local organizations and companies - the East Liverpool-Fawcett Community Foundation, Ergon-West Virginia Inc., Shell Lubricants, the Homer Laughlin China Co., and Linde Gas.
"If it weren't for organizations and businesses being so generous, it would have been a lot tougher than it was for us," Chief Scott Wilson said.
The department continues to hold its weekly bingo fundraiser at the Wells Building at 7 p.m. Wednesday and Saturday and plans to introduce a "mega bingo" event on March 2.
A special fundraiser, featuring the band 7% Superstar, is scheduled for 8 p.m. March 9 at Moose Lodge 122 in East Liverpool. Cost is a $5 donation.
The 2013 Fall Frenzy is scheduled for Nov. 27, with first prize being a 2013 Dodge Ram pickup truck from C. Hackett Chrysler Dodge Jeep. Tickets are $20 each.

Pertinent BG includes the "i want to buy a stroller but not off the registry" conversation, and the "we didn't buy the stroller off the registry, so you need to take it off for us" stroller conversation with MIL.
So DH calls last night and we have a lovely chitchat. I think I've explained it, but to summarize - his career requiers a schedule of week on/week off in which he lives away and is unable to come home. So he will call between jobs when he is able. I always try to keep the conversations happy because, honestly, I miss him, and it's not like there's much he can do from a tugboat :-) A week isn't that long but it is tough being alone half the darned time.
So anywho, I hadn't spoken to him in a few days and we have a lovely chitchat. We get off the phone and he calls back ten or so minutes later and had spoken to his mother... about the stroller. (And, yes, we seriously say the honey/darling thing when there is something that is a bit peeving, because it tends to keep it light, calm our tone, and slow our speech, I don't know how, but try it, it works!)
"Honey, MIL said that she looked at the stroller combo she bought us and it doesn't have a carseat base for the carrier"
"Darling, then it isn't the right one."
"She said it is, but it doesn't have a base."
"The one I registered for has three parts - the stroller, the carrier, and one carseat base. I don't know what to tell you,"
"She didn't buy it off the registry"
"Well, she wanted me to let you know that she saw it didn't have a base and she is going to return it and get the one with the base"
"She can do whatever she wants. If she wouldn't have made it difficult to begin with we wouldn't be having this conversation"
"Yea, she said she would get the one off your registry"
"Yes Honey?"
"I really don't care what she decides to do. I registered for the one I want. If she gives me the wrong one I will simply figure it out later and get the combo I registered for."
"Well, she said she'd buy it off the registry"
"That's another interesting thing. Since all of you insisted it be taken it off the registry, I don't know if it will show up"
"Well maybe you can..."
"Yes Honey?"
"Let me rephrase - I don't give a shit what your mother decides to do, I am not going to worry about it, and I do not want to discuss it any further. I am not going to concern myself with her making things difficult. I will deal with fixing it later myself if that's what I need to do."
"Yes Darling?"
"I freaking love you"
The part that DH does NOT know is that my friends throwing a baby shower next week told me that they pooled and bought me the stroller combo on the registry because the entire MIL thing was stressing me and they didn't want me stressing any further. I will tell DH this when he gets off of work, but didn't feel like explaining it on the phone. My amazing friends are also going to just leave it in the back room so MIL doesn't get any ammunition in case she actually shows up with combo. If she doesn't show up with a combo, they may bring it out and give it to me to shut her down, but that's TBD, mostly based on her behavior.
What's REALLY funny is that my friends forgot to have the registry scanned when they bought it - so we had to change the status online - and had a great laugh about it, all things considered!
So, MIL probably bought one online somewhere that isn't the same. I don't know of ANY combo that doesn't have a base to make the carrier a carseat - there is no telling what ridiculous bs she tried to pull, but apparently caught herself. Long and short of it is that I am not going to talk about her giving us something any more - this woman is nuts!
If she doesn't show up with the combo to the baby shower next weekend, part of me does want my friends to bring out the combo they purchased... on one hand this would be a great f'you to MIL, on the other it would give MIL more to talk and complain about. Then again she wouldn't have to spend so much money, but then again it is our money anyway.
Can't wait to see how this all plays out... nomnomnom...

When compact discs first came out they were proclaimed to be almost indestructible. I still remember watching the Today Show and being amazed as the new media storage for music was demonstrated. Part of the demonstration was taking a small hammer and hitting the CD disc with it. A wonder of wonders; the disc still played. Looking back on this event today I wonder if the disc would have played all the way through. The Idea that digital disc storage was indestructible has been more than a little overblown. Digital discs need the same care and sometimes greater care than the old vinyl recordings. I would like to share with you some guidelines for caring for your digital discs. "

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — If you've spent time in the Incline Village Library, chances are you've seen Pam Rasmussen. She can be found behind the desk, in the stacks, or leading one of the many community events the library hosts. In short, she does it all at the library.
As managing librarian, Rasmussen is the sole person responsible of maintaining the 40,000-item collection. A mother of two, she's worked in the Washoe County Library system for more than a decade, including five years in Sparks and eight in Incline Village. Prior to that, Rasmussen worked in a small library in Sierra County.
Rasmussen was one of the key players when it came to designing the Incline Village Library, working with the architect and Washoe County library superintendent. In an opportunity that Rasmussen called "exciting" and a "win-win situation," she was responsible for the interior design of the library. For this effort, she and the library have won two awards, including one from the American Library Association.
Working with the public has always been a joy for Rasmussen, as she hosted several focus groups and meetings to have community input while designing the library.
For example, Rasmussen explained, community members said it was important to have art in the library, which has since become a staple in the building, complete with rotating art exhibits.
Describing herself as a "hands-on" librarian, Rasmussen noted that one of her favorite parts of her job is recommending books to patrons. When asked what some of her favorite books are, Rasmussen paused, before explaining that she would need to think it over for a bit before replying.
Several hours later, after giving the question some thought, Rasmussen replied in an email. Among her favorites are "The Education of Little Tree," "To Kill a Mockingbird," "The Things They Carried," and more.
Working with the community is also a large part of Rasmussen's job, as she organizes and oversees various events the library hosts. One of the events she helps run, in conjunction with Sierra Nevada College, is the Community Read program. This complimentary event features various book discussions, involving different authors or guest speakers.
"It is exciting and rewarding to participate in such a worthy and important event for our community," Rasmussen said.
Rasmussen works with the SNC Library Director, Betts Markle, to organize the event. She explained that the Community Read events consist of five different programs and four exhibits on art, books and audiovisual materials.
Another one of Rasmussen's favorite programs that she oversees is the Lifescapes program, in which senior citizens write memoirs.
"It gives a voice to people that sometimes get marginalized," she explained.
Although managing the library is a big part of her job, Rasmussen also notes that educating others, whether it be teaching patrons to use a computer or how to download an e-book, is another large part of her job.
"It's important to me that people come to the library and learn something new each time they visit," she said.
Rasmussen is also a founding member of the Tahoe Library Coalition, a collection of libraries on the North Shore, from Incline Village to Tahoe City. The libraries work together to host various events at different locations.
"This group has sponsored many community events, such as book sales, computer classes, community reads and student reading assistance," she said. "It's a phenomenal group of librarians from Incline Village to Tahoe City. I'm very proud to be a founding member of that group."
Rasmussen added that in her free time, she enjoys hiking, kayaking and attending live performances of any kind, whether it be a concert or a literature reading. When asked if she plans on staying in Tahoe, Rasmussen's face lit up, as if to say she didn't want to be any place else.
"I love Tahoe," she said. "I love the sense of community and adventurous spirit of the people here, and the thirst for knowledge."

In this episode, guest Mark Pollack joins Peter to discuss the Spring.NET application framework. In a world driven by POJOs and POCOs, Mark tells us about how he originally created Spring.NET for a team of Java developers to enable a similar development experience in .NET. Since then, the framework has grown from a simple IoC container to a more powerful framework capable of separating cross-cutting concerns from business application logic.
Also, Dmitry and Peter discuss Snoop, FastCGI 1.5, Windows Mobile wish lists, Windows Azure X-Drive, PHP MEF, Gaming Addictions, and other bad habits. Is this a Developer talk show or what?!
Oops, something didn't work.

A handful of fans congratulated the proud dad-to-be as he exited the stage door of the American Airlines Theatre after his performance of The Philanthropist.
"Thank you!" Broderick answered with a grin before stepping into a waiting car. The fans, it seems, learned the baby news before many of the couple's friends and colleagues.
"That's great news. I didn't even know about it," said Philanthropist costar Steven Weber, as he left minutes before Broderick. "[I'm] shocked!"
"I didn't know that! That's great!" said Sex and the City costume designer Patricia Field, who immediately envisioned the task of hiding Parker's pregnancy from the camera for the upcoming film sequel.
Told the couple was using a surrogate to carry the twins, Field, who spoke at the H&M Celebrates Matthew Williamson party on The Majesty yacht at the South Street Seaport in New York, breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Oh, good!"
Love Being ParentsFriends of the couple say that while the news came as a surprise, it was, in a way, also expected. "They love kids and wanted more," says one friend. "They absolutely love being parents."
Adds another close pal: "They are very happy. They've wanted to become parents again for a while."
There is only one thing to worry about now, says Field: How to divvy up Parker's fabulous wardrobe and Manolo Blahniks for the future fashionistas. "It's going to be interesting," mused Field. "I think that she could have fierce daughters. Fierce daughters!"
Meanwhile, at the Tribeca Film Fest after-party at Bar 675, one partygoer observed the couple to be "in a great mood." "They were tucked into a corner throughout the night. [And] didn't leave each other's side for most of the night until she left. All the rumors of a breakup weren't true. But no one mentioned anything about [babies] and no one talked about it. It's crazy."
The source added: "It's rare to find a couple who has stuck together this long in Hollywood. They were very romantic and very sweet to each other."

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, garlic, and thyme, and sauté for 4-6 minutes, until onions are tender.
Add chicken broth, water, and cream of celery soup to vegetables and bring to a boil. Add chicken, stir, and boil for 10 minutes. Reduce to a simmer.
While soup is boiling, prepare dumpling batter by whisking milk and egg together in a medium bowl. In another bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, cornmeal, and salt. Add flour mixture to milk mixture and stir until moistened.
Drop half of batter, in tablespoons, into simmering soup. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes, until dumplings are done (they will be puffy and will float on top of soup). Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and set aside. Repeat with second half of batter. (Makes about 12 dumplings.)
Serve soup over dumplings in shallow bowls and sprinkle with pepper.

Dr. Kelly A. Chwojdak, owner of Safe Harbor Chiropractic in Hamburg, uses a different method than most chiropractors when it comes to treating her patients: Korean Specific Technique, which uses ArthroStim, a hand-held correcting device, instead of the more familiar twisting and turning of body parts.
But when it comes to balanced eating, "Dr. Kelly," as she liked to be called, preaches – and practices – in a similar way as her professional peers.
Q. What are the staples of your balanced diet?
A. One of the things I take out of my diet, or keep on a very limited basis, are grains. A lot of the grains now are genetically modified, not a whole lot nutrient dense in value. I focus more on whole foods such as the fruits and the vegetables, protein – meat, fish, dairy.
Q. What are your favorite whole foods?
A. Dark green, leafy vegetables. Love my salads. For dressings, I use olive oil strictly from Prima Oliva. They're in Hamburg. They come straight from Italy and they're cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. They're all infused, as well.
Q. Anything within the salad that you really enjoy?
A. I'll throw in cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms. I balance it out with either crumbled blue cheese, feta cheese, kalamata olives and maybe some crushed walnuts.
Q. When you have aches and pains, do you add anything to your diet to address them?
A. I really don't because of the diet that I do maintain. But if I do have something, or an injury, I'm not going to allow myself to have anything that has wheat or flour in it or anything that is inflammatory. All the foods that I choose are anti-inflammatory, so the things I'd choose would be cayenne pepper, boswellia [an Indian spice], watermelon, parsley for a diuretic.
Q. Food you can't resist?
A. I've been eating this way for close to 15 years, so I've conditioned myself to the point where I know how food affects me, so I choose a food based on how I want to feel, not on how it tastes. You know, most people are eating sweets because they know it would taste so good, but I look at it as I don't want to feel awful after I eat it and suffer those health consequences. I'd rather eat food that's going to be invigorating and give me my vibrant health and my energy, keep me alert and help me to eat well and function well.
Q. What are some of the foods you eat to make you feel good?
A. For example, for my breakfast [today], I took a quarter-cup of pecans, a quarter-cup of almonds, some Saigon cinnamon, put 'em in the Bullet, ground 'em up, take some frozen berries, a little bit of vanilla, a little bit of milk and put them together after the berries were all warmed up and that was my cereal. It was a well-balanced protein, fat, low-carb-meal.
– Scott Scanlon
