Both the Timbers and Real Salt Lake are making their first appearances in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals with RSL previously making it to the quarterfinals in 2011. In league play, Real Salt Lake is winless in three straight games, losing two of their last three games after stringing together an eight-game unbeaten streak from May 19 to July 13.

Timbers U.S. Open Cup Recap
The Timbers earned a spot in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinals for the first time in club history following a dramatic 3-2 win over FC Dallas on June 26 at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas. After conceding the opening goal to FC Dallas in the 15th minute, Portland's Darlington Nagbe and Diego Valeri tallied back-to-back goals just two minutes apart in the second half before forward Frederic Piquionne added a third goal for the Timbers in the 72nd minute. Nagbe became Portland's second U.S. Open Cup Player of the Round honoree for his performance against FC Dallas. Previously, Piquionne was named Player of the Round in the Third Round after scoring four goals in 45 minutes in a 5-1 win over the Wilmington Hammerheads (USL PRO) on May 29 at JELD-WEN Field. The Timbers followed that win up with a 2-0 shutout over the Tampa Bay Rowdies (NASL) on June 12 as midfielder Michael Nanchoff and Jack Jewsbury scored on either side of halftime at JELD-WEN Field.
Scouting Real Salt Lake
Real Salt Lake enters Wednesday's match in first place in the Western Conference with 38 points through 23 games. Head coach Jason Kreis's squad is tied for the lead in the Supporters' Shield standings with the New York Red Bulls.
Led by Costa Rican forward Álvaro Saborío's eight goals, Real Salt Lake has received major contributions from midfielder Javier Morales (5g, 7a), midfielder Ned Grabavoy (5g, 2a) and Colombian forward Olmes Garcia (5g, 3a) this season. Defensively, goalkeeper Nick Rimando leads MLS with a 0.89 goals-against average and a 78.4 saves percentage. The United States international has earned six shutouts this season.

The annual showcase event will feature several days of festivities, culminating in a match between the League's top players and a renowned international club in late July or early August, 2014, at JELD-WEN Field. A public on-sale date for tickets will be announced at a later date. The opponent for next summer's game will be announced at a later date.
Balanced Offense
The Timbers are one of two teams in MLS that features five players that have recorded four or more goals this season. For Portland, forward Ryan Johnson (7), midfielder Will Johnson (6), midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe (6), midfielder Rodney Wallace (4) and midfielder Diego Valeri (4) have set the pace for the Timbers. The only other team with as balanced scoring is league-leader Real Salt Lake.
Record-Setting Valeri
Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri equaled the Timbers MLS record for most assists in a single season on Aug. 4 in a 1-1 draw against Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Valeri, who is in his first season with Portland and ranks second in MLS with eight assists, has appeared in 20 games this season. The Argentinian playmaker leads the Timbers with 19 points (5 goals, 8 assists) across all competitions this season.
Second-Half Threat
Portland has scored 23 goals in the second half of games this season, including a league-best 10 goals during the first 15 minutes following the halftime break. Portland's 23 second-half goals are two shy of the league lead. On the defensive side, the Timbers have conceded 10 goals in the final 45 minutes this season, which ranks second behind Seattle Sounders FC (9 goals) as one of the league's best second-half defenses.
Seeing Out the Half, and Game
The Timbers are the only MLS club that has not conceded a goal in the 15-minute interval leading into halftime. Closing out matches this season, Portland is tied for second in the league for the fewest number of goals conceded in the final 15 minutes of matches. Portland, along with Houston, has allowed three goals in the final 15-minute interval of games this season. Only Seattle Sounders FC has conceded fewer goals (2) at the end of games. Through 22 games, the Timbers have conceded the second-fewest goals in MLS this season (21), one behind the New England Revolution, who have conceded 20 goals in 22 games.
On a Roll at JELD-WEN Field
The Timbers recorded an MLS-club record streak of six straight shutouts at JELD-WEN Field from April 6-June 23. Portland's home shutout streak came to an end against the LA Galaxy on July 13, setting the MLS club-home record of 587 minutes without conceding a goal at JELD-WEN Field, spanning eight league games from March 9-July 13. Portland is unbeaten in its last eight matches (6-0-2) at JELD-WEN Field. The team's extended its home unbeaten streak with a 1-1 draw against Cascadia-rival Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Aug. 4.
Timbers Draw 1-1 With Vancouver
Forward Ryan Johnson scored in the second half as the Timbers played Vancouver Whitecaps FC to a 1-1 draw in a hard-fought, Cascadia Cup match before a sellout crowd of 20,674 at JELD-WEN Field on Aug. 4. Portland is unbeaten in its last eight matches at JELD-WEN Field. Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri recorded his eighth assist of the season on Johnson's goal in the 49th minute, matching a Timbers MLS record for assists in a single season. It was a physical match between the Cascadia rivals from the onset, with three cautions issued in the opening 17 minutes of play. The two clubs exchanged goals in the second half. Johnson staked the Timbers to a 1-0 lead four minutes into the second half.
On a corner kick 20 minutes later, Whitecaps FC equalized on a Jordan Harvey header.
Iron Men
Timbers midfielder/forward Darlington Nagbe has started a Timbers MLS-club record with 36 straight starts for the team dating back to the 2012 MLS season. In fact, Nagbe has played in 55 of the team's 56 regular-season games since the start of the 2012 season. Defender Jack Jewsbury has appeared in 51 of the team's last 56 games and midfielder Diego Chara has seen time in 48 (all starts).
Remarkable Ricketts
Timbers goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts set a Timbers MLS record with four straight shutouts from May 18-25; June 15-23. The Jamaican also has logged the third and fourth longest streaks without conceding a goal this season (401 minutes from May 18-July 7; 396 minutes from March 30-April 21). Ricketts missed the Timbers' June 8 match at Chicago while on international duty. He has earned MLS Save of the Week honors eight times while recording nine shutouts.
Back-To-Back Losses
The Timbers are one of three teams in MLS that has not lost consecutive matches this season. In fact, Portland is the only team that has not lost two straight games in a full calendar year. Portland last suffered consecutive losses July 21-29, 2012.
Keep the Ball
The Timbers have maintained the majority of possession in 18 of the team's 22 games this season. Portland kicked off the season with seven straight games in which they possessed the ball more than their opponents.
Assists in Bunches
Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri is two assists shy of the league lead, but the Argentine playmaker leads the league in multi-assist games (3). Valeri is the only player in MLS this season to record two assists in three different games – achieving the feat on July 13 against the LA Galaxy, May 12 versus Chivas USA and April 27 at Sporting KC – all three victories.

Kylie and Jason together again0:28
Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan have thrilled a London audience with the first live performance of their hit 1980s duet Especially For You
KYLIE Minogue has split with longtime manager Terry Blamey.
However British reports that the parting meant Minogue was retiring from music have been dismissed.
Blamey, who has managed Minogue's career since the release of Locomotion in 1987, officially ended his partnership with the star on New Year's Eve.
Sources say Minogue made the decision in September, with the pair working together amicably until the end of the celebrations of her 25th anniversary in music.
"Kylie has decided to pull back slightly from the pressures of her career and devote more time to herself and her acting career," Blamey said. "This is not to say she will be retiring from music, just taking a bit of a break."
Blamey will "pursue other exciting business opportunities and spend more time with my family. As we reach this fork in the road after a wonderful 25 years working together, we do so amicably, wishing each other nothing but the very best for each other's continued success."
Minogue renewed her love of acting with a critically-acclaimed role in last year's indie flick Holy Motors.
"I had no idea Holy Motors would do this for me," Minogue told News Limited in October. "It's made me a little bit hungry for more ..."
Minogue also had a small role in another cult film, Jack and Diane, released in the US last November and has been linked to British musical romcom Walking on Sunshine, which goes into production this year.
The star has dated model boyfriend Andres Velencoso since 2008, who joined her as she celebrated New Year's Eve in Sydney.
While the news marks an end of an era - and one of the longest-running and most successful partnerships in pop music - a spokeswoman for Minogue said she is "definitely not retiring from music."
Blamey received an an award for his management skills in London in November - Minogue gave a speech with read in part "You can only imagine how much we've been through together: The highs, lows and plateaus, the good the bad and the ugly. But throughout it all Terry's commitment, support and guidance has remained constant."
Minogue's spokeswoman also denied British media reports the split was provoked by a falling out between Blamey and Minogue's father Ron over the direction of the star's career.

Montecristo Epic Hits Store Shelves
David Savona
Posted: July 25, 2012
A bolder, artistically packaged Montecristo from the Dominican Republic is now in cigar shops. Montecristo Epic, a cigar made with tobacco dating back to 2007, began shipping to tobacconists earlier this month.
The brand extension comes in three sizes, with a third, limited-edition size following later in the year. Described as the fullest-bodied Montecristo in the entire Altadis U.S.A. Inc. portfolio, Montecristo Epic is made with a blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobaccos (some of it grown in 2007) a Nicaraguan binder and Ecuadoran Habano wrapper, one of the most popular wrapper varieties being used today.
Cigar Insider smoked a sample of the cigar, which had an earthy quality and a peppery flavor. It definitely tasted fuller bodied and fuller flavored than most Dominican Montecristos, and it held a beautiful, extremely solid ash. Altadis says the cigars—which are made at its Tabacalera de Garcia Ltd. factory in La Romana, Dominican Republic, are rolled by an elite group of cigarmakers it calls "Grupo de Maestros."
The cigars will come in Robusto, Toro and Churchill vitolas, with suggested retail prices of $12 to $14. A limited-edition No. 2 will be added later in the year.
The cigars are packed in beautiful and extremely colorful boxes. There's a large, outer cardboard box of canary yellow, red and gold, with an oversized "MO" for Montecristo. The glossy inner box, ultra sleek and heavily varnished, features the same design. Inside are ten cigars cradled in slots custom made for the shape, with secondary gold, yellow and brown bands beneath a punched up version of the original Montecristo band. Each box comes with a signed certificate, showing the lot number, cigar rollers and group of inspectors behind the creation of the cigar.
This is the second bold looking redo of a major Altadis brand, following the spring release of Romeo by Romeo y Julieta, which was packed in very bright red and white boxes. Like the Montecristos, those Romeos were also made with Ecuadoran Habano wrappers.
The regular Altadis Montecristo, sometimes referred to as Montecristo Yellow, is quite mild, with a Connecticut-shade wrapper. There are several other varieties. Montecristo is the linchpin in the Altadis U.S.A. brand portfolio, although it makes more Romeo y Julietas.
Look for a tasting of the new line in an upcoming issue of Cigar Insider.
Comments6 comment(s)
When I first started smoking Hecho a Mano, MC was my go to cigar. However, over the years I've really become disenchanted with the brand. In my humblest of opinions Montecristo has become bland and flavorless to the point where they are just unsmokable. Of course YMMV.
$12-$14 for a Robusto? Pass.......
in my years of working with Altadis, Montecristo yellow was always the same. We used the same tobaccos from the days it was introduced. Around Montecristo Yellow, the version first launched in the DR, many line extensions were created: White, introducing Nicaraguan fillers mixed with Dominican Pilotos, Olor filler taken out, The Platinum, with a new blend incorporating a proportion of Peruvian fillers together with the Nicaraguan and Dominican Piloto. The original blend, when the Garcia family moved to the Canary island was a combination of Dominican Piloto, Olor and Brazil fillers. The Canary Island version was very mild as well, if compared with the new vesions of today. This mild blend dominated the market for many years in a brand called Montecruz tha also had a Cameoon wrapper.
I think Frederick Amodeo will like the Montecristo Epico. I liked better the Romeo, but the opinions I have heard are divided.
I hope this is helpfull, that is my intention...

Culinary Travels in Costa Rica: Part 1
A view of Volcan Arenal from a hiking trail that traverses old lava flow from its 1992 eruption. Arenal is the third most active volcano in the world.
We hiked through rainforests and gasped at volcanoes, lounged on white sand beaches and wound our way around perilous mountain passes. Oh yes, we also ate. I just returned from six days in Costa Rica, one of the many ecological jewels of Central America, and aside from taking in an almost unfathomable level of sheer natural beauty we ate our weight in tropical fruits, fresh ceviche, and, of course, rice and beans.
Hit the jump for more.
An outdoor soda sitting along Playa Escondida in Central Pacific Costa Rico.
It's difficult to describe just how important the combination of rice and (black) beans is in the culinary life of Ticos. Calling it a "staple" somehow doesn't do it justice -- it neither projects forcefully enough the integral nature of the dish to the country, nor does it give enough credit to the range of preparations and flavors produced from a relatively humble meal. Make no mistake: Ticos are proud of their national dish. This is, after all, a country who three years ago entered into a strange competition of pride with Nicaragua, submitting a 5000-pound batch of rice and beans as proof of their starchy superiority.
A typical plate of casado. Avocados grow in abundance here, and amazingly bright, fresh, and creamy.
At the many thousands of "sodas" (inexpensive, roadside restaurants) dotted across the countryside, rice and beans is dished up in massive, siesta-inducing quantities. It's the main attraction of casado, a massive plate usually heaped with salad, fried plantains, a variety of root vegetables like yucca or potato, and sometimes meat, which can be the stew-like carne en salsa or simply a piece of roasted chicken. The rice and beans though, are always present. The rice is always plain, but the beans are often doctored with peppers, cilantro, onion, or lime.
A typical plate of casado. Avocados grow in abundance here, and amazingly bright, fresh, and creamy.
There are as many variations of casado as their are homes in the country; the only rules is that everything on the plate works to compliment the rice and beans. The salad can be a loose shred of cabbage mixed with tomato and onion, or, as we had at one sleepy soda off the main drag in San Ramon, a mince of raw plantain marinated in lime juice and cilantro. (Unfortunately I didn't get to snap a picture of that meal: it was the first we had off the plane and my camera battery was dead, naturally).
A beautiful slab of caramelized queso fresco.
At another soda, the plate came with the strange combination of Chinese-style noodles, grilled skewers of chicken, and long strips of fried plantains.
A beautiful slab of caramelized queso fresco.
Vegetarian platters (almost every place offered this) usually came with a slab of queso fresco, a fresh cow's milk cheese. Sometimes it was raw, other times the cheese was grilled to a crisp on the outside, enabled by it's almost tofu-like texture and ability to be heated without melting.
The other feature of every soda was the bottles of salsa that lined the tables. These salsas are basically what we'd call hot sauce, but there is a staggering variety of them, owing to that many sodas have their own distinct recipe. Tomorrow I'll talk a little more about these hot sauces plus a way to fashion your leftover rice and beans into breakfast. Think: Frijolecakes! (Not really, but that would be fun.)

Scrubs Stars On Their Farewell Tour
Last night the excellent cast and creators of Scrubs got together at The Paley Center for Media in LA as part of Scrubs: The Farewell Tour.

PARIS (Feb. 22)
President Francois Mitterrand and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir remained firmly grounded in their respective, widely divergent positions on Middle East peace, following a two-and-a-half-hour meeting at the Elysee Palace on Wednesday.
Nevertheless, the atmosphere between them was described as "very friendly."
Mitterrand told Shamir as he left, "You gave me much food for thought." But a senior spokesman was quick to point out that it did not mean the French president has altered his views on the Middle East.
"France cannot avoid taking into consideration the latest developments, but will do nothing which could hurt Israel's interests," the spokesman said.
He was referring to changes in the position of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Israel insists no changes have taken place.
That was a major point of disagreement between Mitterrand and Shamir.
The Israeli leader, who arrived Tuesday on a three-day "working visit," told reporters that he and Mitterrand had explained their respective views, each taking into consideration what the other had to say.
Mitterrand told Shamir that the PLO recognized Israel at the November 1988 meeting of the Palestine National Council in Algiers. He asked Israel to reciprocate and take a realistic approach.
The French president also stressed at several points in their conversation that "it is an illusion to think that force can put down the Palestinian uprising in the territories."
He said only a political settlement would end the intifada.
Shamir elucidated on Israel's refusal to have any contact, direct or otherwise, with the PLO. "The PLO has not changed either its terror tactics or its basic aim — Israel's destruction," he insisted.
To Mitterrand's argument that even the United States has opened a dialogue with the PLO, Shamir retorted, "America has made a serious mistake, and we hope it will correct its stand."
At no point did the Israeli leader ask Mitterrand directly to cancel his projected meeting with PLO leader Yasir Arafat. But he argued vigorously that any European contacts with the PLO were counterproductive.
Mitterrand said no final decision has been made to meet Arafat.
Shamir came here under no illusions that he could alter Mitterrand's basic outlook. But he hoped to slow down Western Europe's increasing contacts with the PLO.
He may have made some small progress in that direction, as evidenced by Mitterrand's "food for thought" remark.
French officials believe, however, that the president will, in fact, meet with Arafat in the spring, either in Tunis or Cairo, and will continue to work for an international peace conference, which Shamir still adamantly opposes.
The Israeli prime minister also met Wednesday with Foreign Minister Roland Dumas, Premier Michel Rocard and Laurent Fabius, president of the National Assembly.
Shamir placed a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
He was to attend a banquet in his honor hosted by Rocard Wednesday night and will be the guest of Paris Mayor Jacques Chirac at City Hall on Thursday. Shamir returns to Israel on Friday.

In previous versions of Windows, you can take a screenshot by pressing PrtScn on your keyboard. This copies it to the Clipboard and then you need to paste it into Word or an image editing program to save it.
In Windows 8, press Windows Key + PrtScn on your keyboard. This take a screenshot and saves it as a PNG file in the default Pictures folder.
Windows 8 gives each shot a generic name of Screenshot, followed by a number in the order you take the shots. It works on the Metro Start screen and desktop too. This keyboard shortcut will take a screen shot of the full desktop.
Note: If you want an individual window, you can still use Alt + PrtScn — but that copies it to the Clipboard and you'll still need to copy it into Word or other image editor.
This is handy if you want to take a shot of your screen to show an error to an IT pro. Or if the tech needs more data, the Steps Recorder feature is still in Windows 8.
Being a tech writer, I still prefer to use third party tools like SnagIt. But if you're only occasionally taking screenshots, this keyboard shortcut is a nice hidden gem.

BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- All eyes are on Janet Yellen this morning, as she sits for the biggest job interview of her life: her confirmation hearing for the Fed chairmanship. >>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar But she's not exactly shocking anyone with her testimony. Yellen is in favor of QE? She supports Bernanke's policies? The faucet stays on for another four years? Quelle surprise. Still, stocks are getting boosted as investors salivate over the prospect of more cash flowing into the system. As a trader, who am I to judge? Instead, I'm taking a technical look at five big names that look tradable this week. If you're new to technical analysis, here's the executive summary. >>Why You Should Buy Hedge Funds' 5 Favorite Stocks Technicals are a study of the market itself. Since the market is ultimately the only mechanism that determines a stock's price, technical analysis is a valuable tool even in the roughest of trading conditions. Technical charts are used every day by proprietary trading floors, Wall Street's biggest financial firms, and individual investors to get an edge on the market. And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time. Every week, I take an in-depth look at big names that are telling important technical stories.

A few weeks ago I got invited to a "women in business" luncheon put on by the business school where my husband teaches part-time (this is the one I mentioned in #2 here where I got caught in the downpour right before). I thought about declining since my skills from managing this crazy household might just be too advanced compared to the women who are only CEO's or VP's of large companies, but when I saw the topic I realized it was an answered prayer: Finding Balance.
The guest speaker was a professor at the school who is known for getting standing ovations at the end of his classes, so I had high expectations about his presentation. And I wasn't disappointed. He covered a lot of territory, too much to summarize in a blog post, but the main thing he said that has stuck with me ever since is this:
To say no is to protect what you've said yes to.
He referred to being able to say no to new demands on your time as "the essential gesture of stewardship." In other words, if you're going to be a good steward of the responsibilities you've already been given, you must learn to set firm limits on how many other responsibilities you can realistically take on. In other words, you must learn to say no.
I thought this was a refreshing way to look at it. I've always thought of having to turn down requests to get involved in some new activity as an entirely difficult, negative proposition, but this helps me see it in a more positive light. When I say no to getting involved in that new parish ministry, I'm really saying yes to the commitment I've made to spend evenings hanging out with my husband; when I say no to creating an elaborate website for a friend, I'm saying yes to the commitment I made to put my heart into an article that's due next month; when I say no to joining some friends for a playdate this week, I'm saying yes to the commitment I made to have more relaxed time with my children where we're not rushing around to get somewhere; and so on.
I think that this message was truly an answered prayer. After my great to-do-list-slashing session in January I found such great peace, but in the past eleven months I've slowly let myself get overbooked again, leaving me back to feeling overwhelmed, like I'm so far behind on everything that I'm drowning.
So the questions I've been asking myself over the past few weeks are: "What are the essential responsibilities that I have said yes to?" And, therefore, "What do I need to start saying no to?"
After thinking about it for a long time, the answers I came up with to the second question were interesting and surprising. I'm out of blogging time for this morning, so I'll share them in an upcoming Part II of this post.
UPDATE: Part II is here.

2017 Summer Camp
2017 Juniors Summer Camp
Ages 8-15 (cost: $320 for members; $400 for non-members)
The DSC is committed to providing your son or daughter with a safe, FUN, and engaging summer experience. In addition to providing quality sailing instruction, we are committed to providing lots of structured play time as well as supervised, unstructured time for your child to grow. Our Junior Summer Camp seamlessly blends sailing education with fun activities. Your child will learn to sail in a safe environment, but they will also have the opportunity to be kids and to have fun!
Beginner, Intermediate, and advanced sailors alike will get to experience the fun and joy of sailing in our J/22, Sonar, and Access Dinghy Sailboats this summer. Our primary vessel is the J/22, but we do "dinghy daze" once every couple of weeks and we use the Sonars to sail over to Fells Point or out past Fort McHenry.
Beginners spend the majority of their time learning the basics of sailing through an experiential environment. Intermediate sailors will spend more time honing their sailing skills and sailing knowledge through more in-depth chalk talks and more focused sailing on the J/22s. Advanced sailors will work toward sailing the J/22s on their own, developing the skills and confidence they need to skipper and crew on larger, faster boats.
Weekly activities include:
Ages 12-16 (Cost: $320 for members; $400 for non-members)
Now in its third year! This camp experience is geared toward advanced sailors who have demonstrated the ability to skipper our J/22s without instructor assistance. Sailors must be at least 12 years of age and have experience driving a J/22 without a coach aboard. If you are unsure of your child's preparation for this program, we strongly recommend talking with one of our staff before registering for this program. The DSC piloted this program last year with our advanced campers, and all staff for this course hold US Sailing Level 1 and/or Basic Keelboat Instructor Certifications.
The instructors will combine hands-on instruction with powerboat-coaching support to provide up-to 8 campers with a unique, rewarding educational experience. Campers will eat lunch and enjoy some of the fun activities of the normal summer camp (such as "BOP Day"), but more emphasis will be placed on the study of performance-oriented sailing and campers will have the responsibility of sailing a boat without an instructor aboard.
This camp is a perfect step up for those who have successfully completed the Basic Keelboat Certification Course (below) or those who have sized out of their racing programs and are looking for a fun alternative.
These offerings will allow your son or daughter to receive a nationally recognized certification from US Sailing. This program is dedicated to serious youth sailors who want to take their sailing to the next level. If your son or daughter is interested in becoming a sailing assistant or instructor these courses are the next steps. These specialized programs involve focused on-the-water training with in-depth classroom lessons.
Ages 12-18 (cost:$390 for members; cost: $475)
This one week certification offering will put your son or daughter's sailing skills to the test. Participants will be working with a Basic Keelboat instructor to learn all the terminology and sailing requirements to successful sail a small keelboat on their own, without an instructor assisting them. Last year, the eight youth participating in the program were sailing on their own by the end of the week, with an instructor close by on a powerboat.
Prerequisites: Students need to have attended a sailing camp for at least 3 years prior to taking this course and preferably for more than one week per year. This course is classroom intensive; students will be responsible for completing homework each night, and they will be working closely with other youth in a fast-paced environment. Our Certification Courses offer a great amount of student freedom, so good behavior is expected of every student.
US Sailing Safe Powerboating Certification:
Ages 12-18, Cost:$320 for members; cost: $390
This 4-day program is focused on teaching participants how to safely operate a small powerboat. Participants will learn how maneuver a powerboat in tight spaces, practice high speed stops and learn the basic mechanics of a powerboat.
Prerequisites: None

Get Workin' on Your Night Moves — Bob Seger's Coming to Town!
Legendary roots rocker Bob Seger is back on tour with his Silver Bullet Band, and they're bringing their Old Time Rock and Roll with them to the Frank Erwin Center on October 24th, 2017! Famous for his muscular, soul-influenced style of heartland rock, Bob Seger isn't just an iconic songwriter and guitarist — he's one of the best performers of his generation, a man with rock 'n' roll in his blood and plenty of on-stage charisma to spare. This Bob Seger Austin concert is your chance to hear him performing classics like "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man," "We've Got Tonight," "Shakedown," and "Old Time Rock and Roll," so don't miss out on the best tickets while they're still around. Check the info below to learn more about the year's hardest rocking show — which costars Nancy Wilson of Heart fame — and score your Bob Seger Austin Tickets today!
1 Upcoming Events:
TuesdayOctober 247:30 PM
Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band & Nancy WilsonFrank Erwin Center - Austin, TX
A hard-working Detroit native through and through, it's fitting that it took Bob Seger a decade of false starts with bands like the Town Criers and the Last Heard before he finally caught on with his now-iconic Silver Bullet Band — but given his commitment to hard rock performed with few pretenses, that success seems almost inevitable. The group spent the '70s and '80s releasing such all-time classics as "Night Moves," "We've Got Tonight," "Shakedown," and "Old Time Rock and Roll," and they've spent the last couple decades touring the world and performing 'em live for their biggest fans.
Their music is a classic for a reason. Propulsive, masculine, and defiantly old-school, it reminds listeners why they fell in love with rock 'n' roll in the first place — and it also makes for one heck of a live concert.
Want to catch the heartland rockers, live at the Frank Erwin Center on October 24th, 2017? Then good thing you've come to BigStub, your premier destination for amazing tickets on the web! We've got more than 10 million tix for over 100,000 unique live entertainment events in our massive online database, including the Bob Seger Austin concert. Explore our website to learn more about the greatest concert, sporting events, theater performances, and special shows coming your way in 2017 — just be sure to grab your Bob Seger Austin Tickets first!

UFC 168, which took place Dec. 28, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nev. did a live gate of $6,238,792.50, which is the second best in the promotion's history.
The people in attendance filled the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
In the main event, Chris Weidman looked to defend his title against one of the all-time-greats in the sport, Anderson Silva. In their first battle, Silva was knocked unconscious by a Weidman left hook. The rematch ended in an unfortunate circumstance, as Silva broke his leg while Weidman checked an inside leg kick.
The co-main event was another rematch; this time between two bitter rivals– Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate. The rematch went similarly to their original match, with Rousey again winning by armbar and securing her spot as the UFC women's bantamweight champion.
Two heavyweights slugged it out in the feature bout, as Travis Browne extended his winning streak to three with a knockout over MMA legend Josh Barnett. With that knockout, Browne earned his third straight knockout of the night award.
With the excitement that was built around UFC 168, it is understandable that the UFC generated such an impressive gate.

AHi everyone, Please could you advise me on how to do my zip on a purse/ handbag cake, it's the 2nd cake I'm attempting to fondant , I tried last night rolled a piece of fondant about 2 cms wide put the zip marks in using the roller tools then used the gold paint I brought ,left it to dry over night but this morning when I tried to move it it broke into pieces doh ! So what am I best doing please Should I do it when I fondant the cake ? Then mark it and paint it on the cake?also didn't really like the gold colour looked a bit cheap looking would it look better in silver ? As I'm planning to do the bag in black and white, could I use sugar flair silver lust power and mix it to paint or would brushing it on dry do it,many thanks
I would mark the zipper right on the fondant covered cake and then paint. That way not only will it not break,it will be inlaid into the bag like a real zipper.
AThank you , thats a great help.how far in advance should I bake the sponge and decorate ? I need it for Friday morning I was thinking of baking it Wednesday and decorating it Thursday but little worried in case I have any problems, how long does home made sponge stay fresh ? Many thanks

Multivitamins are big business with little benefit
Posted January 9, 2014
Multivitamins and dietary supplements are big business. More than two-thirds of Americans take them, spending over $32 billion last year.
Supermarket aisles are full of them, with endorsements from celebrities including Nicole Kidman and Martha Stewart.
But there's little proof they offer any real health benefit, according to Consumer Reports.
A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine found fish oil didn't lower the rate of heart attacks or strokes when compared with taking a placebo.
Another study of nearly 15,000 older Americans found multivitamins didn't reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke or death.
The National Institutes of Health found that men had a higher risk of dying from heart disease if they took more than 1,000 milligrams of calcium supplements a day.
One of the more serious risks with multivitamins is they can interact with regular medication.
Vitamin E can cause bleeding and shouldn't be taken with blood thinners or aspirin.
Consumer Reports found that 26 percent of people who took a multivitamin or supplement did not mention them to their doctors.
Experts advise patients to tell their doctors about any vitamins or supplements they're talking.
In addition, nearly half of people in a poll believe the federal government reviews vitamins and supplements before they go on the market, which is not true.
"It may seem easier to meet your daily nutritional requirements from a bottle, but it's actually healthier to eat a varied diet of fruits, vegetables, fish and other healthy foods," said Dr. Orly Avitzur, Consumer Reports medical adviser.

Saving for the future; tips to send your kids to college
Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:57:21 GMT —
COLUMBIA (WACH) - Pete and Sharon Bynum are the proud parents of two daughters.
Their oldest, Ashley, is a junior at Winthrop University. While college has been a huge success, getting there wasn't easy.
"We knew for years when she first started talking about college how expensive it was, we talked about setting money aside but never did," said Pete Bynum.
Like most families, the Bynum's took out loans and Ashley applied for grants. Ashley is now a year away from graduating and that has the family preparing for their seven-year-old Madison's future.
"Wish we had taken advantage of college saving programs that they have. We really need to start saving for the seven-year-old now," said Sharon Bynum.
Robin Arnold, with Palmetto Citizens Trust and Investment Services says there are many options for preparing for your child's education, but before choosing a plan you have to simply start saving.
"Not all of us can afford to set aside $500.00 a month, but if you can do $50.00 a month for ten years you're going to be in better shape," said Arnold.
Arnold says one of the most popular options is the 529 college savings plan. It allows you to invest the cash as it grows and it won't be taxed.
Arnold stresses your savings is just one portion of funding your child's college education.
"Think of it as one brick in a wall that has many bricks, your savings, financial aid, scholarships, your own income and the child's income all of that will contribute towards the ultimate cost," added Arnold.
As the Bynums prepare to see Ashley graduate next year saving for there seven-year-old's education is now a top priority.

Fourth-ranked Andy Murray will miss Britain's Davis Cup match against Ukraine this week because of a lingering virus.
Murray said Monday he hasn't recovered from the illness that forced him to pull out of the quarterfinals of last week's Dubai Tennis Championships.
He withdrew from the British team that will face Ukraine in the Europe/Africa Zone second-round match starting Friday at the Braehead Arena near Glasgow in Scotland.
"Obviously, I'm very disappointed that I won't be playing in Glasgow this week, but the doctor has told me that I need complete rest for at least seven days, and I have to respect that," said Murray, who has won ATP titles in Doha and Rotterdam this season.
"I hoped that pulling out of Dubai when I did would give me enough time to recover, but this virus has hit me harder than any illness I've had before and I still feel terrible."
Britain's Davis Cup captain John Lloyd said he would consult with coach Paul Annacone on who should replace Murray on the team.

A top online fashion retailer could be set to bring 350 new jobs to Burnley under multi-million pound expansion plans
Boohoo.com bosses want to double the size of their Burnley headquarters with a £5m. new extension at Heasandford Industrial Estate.
The booming fashion firm already employs more than 400 staff in the town at the existing warehouse and distribution centre on Widow Hill Road.
But the huge expansion proposals could mean hundreds of new jobs created in the town if plans are given the green light.
Burnley MP Gordon Birtwistle, who recently toured Boohoo's Burnley base with bosses, believes it would be a huge boost to the local economy.
He said: "It is brilliant news for Burnley. It is a major investment in the town.
"The firm came to Burnley five years ago with just 40 staff and now they employ around 425 people.
"By 2015 they want to more than double their workforce to more than 1,000 staff.
"The bosses say the workforce in Burnley is superb, committed and work hard – they run two shifts seven days a week.
"They are really happy with what is going on in Burnley – they are phenomenally busy. It is a real success story in the town."
The 12,379sq.ft extension would see a four-storey amenity block, service yard and a new distribution warehouse for the gorwing online retail business.
A full planning application has been submitted to Burnley Council and if granted the site could be open by the middle of next year.
A statement from developers said: "The site's development will make a valuable contribution to the economy of the borough."
"The proposed development, once fully operational will add a further circa 350 jobs to the local economy. The proposal is needed in order to support the growing on line retail business."

The myth of the value of money is proving to be expensive. But saving our Earth would be even more costly.
mother ----- Gods Gift
Painite:The rarest mineral on the planet, painite remains priceless. One of the hardest minerals to locate, it can only be harvested in Mogok and Kachin States in Myanmar. Only 25 small crystals and only two faceted crystals have been discovered in the world. Painite costs around 60,000 dollars per carat.
tobacco $17 a 50g can, 27 or 28 for a 100g can
Are you talking about material things if you are then it would be a home, a vehicle and then everything that you need for the home. Clothing wise it would be a Sable Mink full Length Fur Coat that runs about $300,000 or more.

the most expensive thing that I bought for myself was a 1993 Convertible Mercedes Roadster that was painted Pearl pink with white swirls, had white and pink leather interior, with white plush carpet and all the inside trip that could be made out of wood was Black Walnut. The entire price of this customized vehicle ran $165,997.87
Solid gold dentures.
My farm . . . .

I'd say my wife . . . But I didn't actually BUY her, although she has damn sure been the most expensive!

Figure 1:
Pathophysiology proposed to link diabetes and thyroid cancer together. Diabetes mellitus may affect mitogenic pathway of the follicular cells through several mechanisms. Increased insulin amount stimulates follicular cells because of its structural similarity to insulin-like growth factor. Increased TSH stimulated AC/cAMP/PKA pathway. Increased body mass index will increase adipokines and subsequently stimulate mitogenic pathways. Antidiabetic medicines of sulfonylurea and insulin contribute to the elevated insulin level. Hyperglycemia and hypertriglycemia increase oxidative stress and stimulate mitogenic pathway. Vitamin D deficiency decreases deiodinase 2, T
and GLUT4 transcription, which subsequently increase TSH and insulin levels and activate mitogenic pathways.

Foot traffic and average basket spend had fallen in the July quarter, sending sales down 11 per cent. On some days sales had fallen by as much as 23 per cent, Mr Zahra told analysts and media in conference calls today.
However, Mr Zahra insists the downturn in sales is cyclical rather than structural and that sales growth will return when consumer confidence, which has fallen to the lowest levels for more than two years, improves.
"I don't see this as structural change, it's a cyclical change," he said.
"We see ourselves as being in the eye of a perfect storm. We have the strong $A, we have leakage to offshore online retail, which is new to this market, driven by the $A and the unlevel playing field, we have new taxes which predominantly target our customer base, a high savings ratio, international uncertainty, and higher outbound tourism," he said.
"As far back as our records show, 20 years, we can't see any significant reduction in sales like this."
"But eventually things will turn around and improve, this is not permanent. When consumer confidence is restored people will turn back to shopping," he said.
David Jones last night downgraded its profit forecasts, warning that second-half profit this year could fall as much as 12 per cent and first-half profit next year by 20 per cent after an "unprecedented'' deterioration in trading in June and July.
Mr Zahra said David Jones had ordered too much stock for the upcoming spring /summer season and would have to discount more deeply in the first half of 2012 to reduce excess inventory.
Rival department store group Myer Holdings today reconfirmed its earnings guidance, saying it still expected net profit for fiscal 2011 to be as much as 5 per cent below last year's $169 million.
In a statement to the stock exchange, Myer said it expected trading conditions to remain challenging for the remaining two weeks of 2011.
"Subject to no further deterioration over the final two weeks of our financial year trading, Myer continues to expect net profit after tax (NPAT) for FY2011 to be up to 5 per cent below last year's NPAT of $169 million."
However, the statement may not prevent brokers from downgrading their earnings forecasts for Myer in ight of David Jones downgrade.
Deutsche Bank now expects Myer's 2011 net profit to fall by 7.5 per cent to $156 million, exceeding the decline forecast by Myer.
Moelis said analysts' forecasts for 7 per cent profit growth for Myer in 2012 "looked stretched"
in light of the slump in sales in the July quarter.
"Analyst forecasts are too high and the sector faces structural headwinds in the form of higher $A combined with internet retailing, low consumer confidence, consumers getting squeezed by rates, utilities and petrol prices," Moelis said.
Myer cut its 2011 net profit guidance in February after worse-than-expected trading during Christmas and the January clearance sales.
