PORTLAND, Ore. – United Soccer Leagues announced Thursday the Premier Development League (PDL) Team of the Week for Week 10 with Timbers U-23s forward Mark Sherrod given honorable mention for his game-winning-goal against Washington Crossfire on July 6.
Sherrod's goal handed the Timbers U-23s a 1-0 win at Doc Harris Stadium in Camas, Wash. and secured a third postseason appearance for the team since it began play in 2009.
Sherrod scored the game-winner in the 69th minute, applying a clinical headed finish to midfielder Nicholas Hammer's well-driven cross for his 10th goal of the season. Sherrod is the third Timbers U-23s player in team history to record 10 or more goals in a season, joining Brent Richards (2010) and Ryan Youngblood (2009) in accomplishing the feat.
Sherrod's inclusion on the PDL's Team of the Week honorable mention list marks the second straight week the Timbers U-23s have had at least one player named to the honorable mention list; forward Erik Hurtado and defender Chris Harms were given PDL Team of the Week honorable mention in Week 9.
The Portland Timbers U-23s begin postseason play on Sunday when they play host to the Kitsap Pumas in the divisional round of the Premier Development League (PDL) playoffs at Gladstone High School in Gladstone, Ore. at 6:30 p.m. (Pacific).

PHOENIX - The Colorado Rockies added center fielder Willy Taveras to their postseason roster yesterday but chose not to include righthander Aaron Cook, their Opening Day starter.
Taveras has been out for almost a month with a calf injury but convinced the coaching staff he could contribute with a strong showing during yesterday's workout. Taveras took the roster spot of lefthander Mark Redman.
The Rockies decided against adding Cook, who is eligible to come off the 60-day disabled list this week. Instead, righthander Josh Fogg, who has fared better against the Diamondbacks this season, will start Game 3 of the National League Championship Series Sunday night.
Cook, who threw about 90 pitches yesterday in an instructional league game in Tucson, was 8-7 with a 4.12 ERA when he was sidelined by an oblique injury Aug. 10.
Cook showed that he was healthy in the seven-inning outing, manager Clint Hurdle said. But the Rockies chose to go with Fogg, who was 1-1 with a 2.63 ERA in four starts against Arizona this season.
It's not known whether Taveras will regain his starting job. While he could add another speedster to the top of the Rockies' lineup, such a move also risks spoiling the offensive cohesion that sparked the Rockies' 17-1 run.
Second baseman Kaz Matsui has been spectacular in the leadoff spot in Taveras's place, and Ryan Spilborghs has played well in center field.
Call to armsWhen the Rockies lost three-fifths of their starting rotation to injuries in a 16-day span at midseason, they turned to two pitching prospects and rushed them to the majors.
Without Franklin Morales, 21, and Ubaldo Jimenez, 23, the Rockies wouldn't be in this purple haze.
Jimenez (4-4, 4.28 ERA) held opponents to a .228 batting average and provided a big boost with an electric four-pitch repertoire that features a 99-mile-per-hour fastball.
"Any time you can throw a baseball 100 miles per hour and break off a 72 mile-per-hour curveball and a 76 mile-per-hour changeup and a slider that's gotten better with time, it's fun to watch," Fogg said. "I'm a little jealous . . . but he's been the best pitcher on our staff by far."
Morales (3-2, 3.43) joined the rotation for the final six weeks of the season and tied the club record with 20 consecutive shutout innings.
While everybody else marvels at their early success, both Jimenez and Morales shrug it off.
"I was sure of what I had," Jimenez said.
So was Morales. "Everybody's surprised by what I can do, but it doesn't surprise me," he said, "because I've worked very hard to get here. And I plan to stay here for a long time."

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. It is known that RA patients have a reduced life expectancy when compared with the general population. Rheumatic diseases are numerous and occur with high variability; some of them develop very rapidly while others occur chronically provoking disability throughout life. Anesthetic risks in osteoarticular disorders involve not only the mechanical deformations caused by the disease, but also the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, and digestive systems. CONTENTS: The purpose of this review was to stress the importance of stages in disease process that may affect anesthesia control before, during, and after surgery, highlighting the authors' experience in a retrospective review of patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) undergoing placement of orthopedic prosthesis with emphasis on intubation techniques. CONCLUSIONS: Rheumatoid arthritis patients can present a number of complex problems for the anesthesiologist. This requires careful preoperative evaluation; anesthesia requires experience with the technique; and postoperative care should be judiciously chosen to meet the specific needs of the patient. The procedure requires effective communication among surgeon, rheumatologist and anesthesiologist so each member of the multidisciplinary team can contribute with his/her expertise in order to better benefit the patient.
Keywords : Arthritis, Rheumatoid; Arthritis, Juvenile Rheumatoid; Anesthesia; Perioperative Care; Intubation, Intratracheal.

I have this problem too. I haven't tried either of these solutions yet, but I have had them recommended to me and plan to try them out!
1. Try using a scalp brush when co-washing to get the scalp extra clean. Something like this: Amazon.com: Shampoo Scalp Massage Brush- 1 Brush: Beauty
2. If that doesn't work, I might try low-pooing once every one or two weeks with Neutrogena T/Sal shampoo. It does have Sodium C14 16 Olefin Sulfonate, which isn't ideal, but it might be necessary for my scalp.
3. Apparently tea tree extract can be really good for the scalp. I don't know how this fights buildup (or if it really does - anyone else know more?), but some people add it to conditioner or shampoo, or buy a product that already has it in it.
I'm mainly interested in the scalp brushes, because my hair is very dense and I don't think my fingertips are really doing the job, even though I concentrate on giving myself a thorough scalp massage while co-washing.

Out of the various items I was bombarded with in a makeover session, this one was one of the better ones. Not great but I can understand the appeal of this.
It's a pink glowy (possibly with a slight golden shimmer) sheen that can be applied to your skin to add highlights or a luminescent glow. It's quite sheer so it doesn't impart too much colour but for someone with a golden skintone (MAC NC30), this is bit too pink for me.
It's not too heavy feeling but I will say it doesn't dry so you can feel this 'sit' on your skin. I personally would prefer to use my GA Fluid Sheer. Though that FS is much more expensive, it has much better texture and more tones that would suit a golden toned individual nm continued >>

Shares in Plant Health Care extended their revival after the loss-making agricultural biochemistry group said that, after a "transformative" year, it was "now a stable company", foreseeing a replacement to Monsanto on its customer list.
Shares in the group - which has in the last year changed its chief executive, sealed a deal with agrichemicals giant ArystaLifeScience, sold a Dutch subsidiary to local managers and raised $20m from shareholders – rose 3.4% to 63p in morning deals in London.
That was their highest in five months, and a jump of more than 50% from a two-year low reached in mid-February.
The rise came followed the group's release of results for 2013 which - while showing an 11th successive year in the red, with losses widening 8.1% to $6.88m – beat some forecasts.
Analyst Sophie Jourdier at Liberum, the UK broker, termed the results "solid", beating her forecasts of an $8.3m after-tax loss.
'Now a stable company'
Christopher Richards, the Plant Health Care chairman, said that 2013 had been a "transformative year" for the group, whose portfolio aims to boost yields by stimulating plants' own defensive qualities, through the Harpin product, and drought resistance and fertilizer uptake, through the Myconate product which encourages root growth.
Directors were "increasingly confident about the value of the group's existing products and of its research portfolio", Dr Richards said.
"Your board considers that Plant Health Care is now a stable company."
Industry trend
Dr Richards, who is also chairman at Arysta, said that Plant Health Care was well placed to exploit a trend of "increasing investment in biological products", the new wave of agrichemicals offering more advanced and targeted responses than the blanket coverage of traditional sprays.
"The major agrochemical companies are now devoting more resources to biological products and seeking partnerships with companies such as Plant Health Care in order to build their product pipelines," he said.
Indeed, Paul Schmidt, in his first full-year results statement since becoming Plant Health Care chief executive last year, said that its release last year from an ill-fated agreement with Monsanto over Harpin would herald contracts with other large groups.
"A number of companies have identified substantial yield increases from the inclusion of Harpin in their seed treatment products and we expect to conclude an agreement with at least one of these over the coming months," Mr Schmidt said.
Broker reaction
The group reported a 20% rise to $7.46m in revenues for 2013, with the growth in losses reflecting a $2.1m one-off boost to costs from the company's restructuring, which triggered $1.71m in severance payments and $282,000 in relocating to new headquarters in North Carolina.
Underlying administrative expenses eased 3.0% to $3.61m.
At Liberum, Ms Jourdier said that Plant Health Care appears to have been restructured "successfully and can now focus on growing sales of Harpin and Myconate.
"Biological agrochemicals are one of the fastest growing areas of the industry. We believe Plant Health Care has the technology and the management to drive substantial growth and value creation."

Picture: Black Eyed Peas Conde Nast Media Group's 5th Anniversary of Fashion Rocks at Radio City Music Hall - Arrivals New York City, USA - 05.09.08
Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am is to release a new song commemorating Barack Obama's election as the 44th US president.
The video for It's A New Day will be released online later today (Wednesday November 5th) following Mr Obama's historic victory.
The rapper and producer played an important role in the Illinois senator's election campaign, with his song Yes We Can - which set an Obama speech to music - becoming a huge viral video hit in February and spurring Mr Obama's selection as the Democratic nominee for the presidency.
Prominent celebrity Democrat supporters, such as Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Scherzinger, John Legend and Common, appeared in the black and white video.
And now It's A New Day, which Will.i.am has only just finished editing, will appear on the Dipdive website.
"This was inspired by America. It's about Obama winning, and really paying tribute to those people who are responsible for that happening, and that's the American people," he said.
The Heartbreaker singer called for new celebrity video contributions to the site.
"The whole thing is really for people to leave testimonials... to create a page and leave testimonials on how they feel about this American accomplishment," he explained.

George Hook was born in Cork but has spent most of his adult life in Dublin, interspersed with stints in Geneva with the United Nations and in America as director of USA Rugby. George is married to Ingrid and they have three children.
Although he qualified as an accountant, he ran a catering company for over twenty years, as well as coaching rugby on an international level. But for the last fifteen years the media has dominated his life; George and his kitchen opponent Tom McGurk are mainstays of RTÉ television's rugby coverage, and he presents the daily drive time programme, The Right Hook, on Newstalk Radio.
When George last visited The Restaurant kitchen he was working with Brent Pope as an ally, but this time around the competition is on between himself and Tom. George is hoping to come out on top and doesn't plan on falling in to the same trap as last time.
"I did a menu that I wanted to eat, I didn't think about what would appeal to the diners or critics so I lost out, I won't make the same mistake again".
Indeed his previous menu, which included tripe and crubeens was met with some resistance from the dining room floor. So he's toned his traditional Cork fare down a notch but at the same time managed to stay true to his Munster roots, with a selection of dishes that he believes Paul O'Connell would happily devour the night before a big game, featuring a starter of haddock from a West Cork smokery.
George is confident that his simply prepared Irish ingredients and his steely determination will lead him to glory with the critics.

Julie's holy war with Bush
FRENCH actress Julie Delpy, who wrote, directed and starred in her latest film, Two Days In Paris, has offered an explanation for strained Franco-American relations – other than France's refusal to support the war in Iraq.
"The one thing the French really hate about America is the way that Bush invokes God. It's scary and lunatic," the usually demure star rages.
"In France, church and state have long been separate. Bush gives the impression that God has put him in power. It is not that I'm anti-religious, it is just that Bush has made it such a part of politics."
Julie, who has lived in the US for 15 years, looks at the complicated relations between the two countries in her new film.
She is also riled by "dysfunctional" American family relationships. "They say how important the family is but elderly parents are never looked after as we do in France," she says.
Yet there is a moral side to the US she admires. "In France, it seems to be OK for a 13-year-old child actress to date a 60-year-old man. In the US, that is looked down upon. I think the Americans have it right on this count."

Hi i had 4 sciton treatments for skin tightening. Setting was on 45. these were done 4 weeks apart. I have before and after photos but embarrassed to post. If any doctor wants me to email personally i can do that. I have had a lot of fat loss in my face, and this is visible in the photos. Now i have a constant burning or stinging sensation in my skin. And it feels tight like sunburnt. Last treatment was 5 weeks ago. Will it get worse? I read a lot of horror stories. what can i do to help?
Is It Possible That Sciton Skin Tight Laser Setting 45 Can Burn Lower Layers of Skin?
Doctor Answers 1
Sciton Skin Tyte
I use the Sciton system and have to assume that the '45' setting you are referring to with Skin Tyte is the temperature that was reached in the deep tissues. Was your skin anesthetized during the treatment? The reason I ask is that 45 degrees centigrade is very difficult to reach on most people becasue it is so painful. That temperature is high enough to affect fat cells and is a goal temperature that is often aimed for when treating fat and cellulite. If indeed you did reach 45 degrees in your treatments you probably did destroy some fat cells which would explain the uneveness to the skin. You might even want to contact Sciton directly for the manufacturer to offer any comments to your treatment.

That is the word from the country's biggest live lobster (crayfish) exporter, the Fiordland Lobster Co, based in Te Anau.
Some crayfishers have told the Otago Daily Times they are being offered $60 a kg for their catch, so have decided to wait in the hope the price rises later in the year to the $80 they were getting last year.
Three years ago, it peaked at more than $100 a kg.
Fiordland Lobster sales and marketing general manager David Prendergast said business had generally been "a lot harder" this year.
"The key thing is that the [Chinese] economy is showing signs of a slowdown and therefore the discretionary income in China to spend on high-value items may be cut back in all sectors, and obviously that will affect the demand for live lobster."
Mr Prendergast said the company was selling the same amount of lobster as in previous years but there was "a little more pressure" on pricing because of the Chinese slowdown.
Lobster is traded in United States dollars and Mr Prendergast said the high level of the New Zealand dollar against the greenback was another factor affecting returns for crayfishers this year.
Mr Prendergast said he could accept crayfishers who were paying $50 a kg to lease quota were keen for something about the $80 a kg mark.
"But, realistically, are they going to get $80 later on?
"There is a world slowdown and that world slowdown is affecting China.""People's discretionary income is tucked away and therefore they become a bit more conservative.
"If they [crayfishers] are all sitting around waiting for $80 they could be waiting for a while."
Chairman of the crayfish management committee for much of the South Island, Malcolm Lawson, said the "rule of thumb" for crayfishers who leased quota at, for example $50 a kg, was that they needed a $20 margin to make crayfishing worth their while.
His committee did not get involved with the commercial aspects of the industry and was mostly concerned with ensuring there were good stocks of crayfish, which there were.
That, Mr Lawson said, allowed fishers to pick and choose when they caught their quota.
"Instead of having to aim to go out every day to fill their quotas they are actually fishing to the markets.
"The fishers stop and start as the market prices and demand dictate. And that is one thing about having an abundant fishery. It provides the opportunity for them to do that."
Mr Lawson said it was generally acknowledged every 1c change in the exchange rate represented a $1 a kg change in the return to crayfishers.
Mr Prendergast said October was traditionally "the worst month" in the annual marketing cycle for lobster after strong demand in September in the lead-up to Chinese National Day on October 1 and prior to demand created by Christmas and particularly the Chinese New Year.

New Orleans -
Nine people were shot and injured after being caught in the crossfire when a gun battle erupted between two men on touristy Bourbon Street in New Orleans' celebrated French Quarter, police said.
Images captured from a surveillance camera above a bar showed people running down the famous street in the chaos of the shooting at 2.45am, NOLA.com The Times-Picayune reported. Police and emergency workers responded immediately and attended to victims as other revellers looked on.
New Orleans Police Chief Ronal Serpas said six victims were admitted to hospital in stable condition. The other victim's condition was not available. Some of them were tourists. Their names have not been released.
The victims were shot two blocks from historic Jackson Square and just around the corner from the popular Pat O'Brien's piano bar. Preservation Hall, a music venue dedicated to preserving New Orleans jazz, is also nearby.
Serpas said at a news conference in the French Quarter that the victims were shot "by two cowardly young men trying to hurt each other."
"What happened was two young men got angry at each other and shot at each other," he said.
Bourbon Street is a nightly swirl of bright neon and tourists, usually with beverages in hand. A blend of jazz joints, strip clubs, bars and restaurants, Bourbon Street has everything from four-star dining to sex shows.
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu pledged a swift response from law enforcement.
"Our No 1 priority is to keep New Orleans safe," Landrieu said in a statement. "These kinds of incidents will not go unanswered... I am confident that between video evidence and eyewitness accounts, we will bring the perpetrators to justice."
Police have not determined whether the shootings might be gang-related, Serpas said. He called on residents, businesses and witnesses who may have video footage, including any from surveillance cameras, to contact police.
It was the third major shooting on Bourbon Street in the last three years.
On the Saturday before Mardi Gras, four people were treated at a hospital after a shooting. During Halloween in 2011, one person was killed and seven others were injured after gunmen opened fire on each other.
Built on higher ground than most of the city, the French Quarter was spared the worst of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, mostly suffering scattered wind and water damage. - Sapa-AP

Pinterest. Some call Pinterest nothing more than a passing phase or a place for chicks to post photos of new purses. I think they are missing the boat...
As a webmaster and blogger, I have already seen the huge capability of Pinterest to drive traffic to my sites. As with any social networking site, there is a learning curve to figuring out how much is too much, and how to use the tool effectively without becoming "that guy" -- you know him. He's the one you end up blocking or hiding because his stuff is constantly in your face. You wonder how he can even get any work done because he's always on that site, "sharing".
So here are a few rules of thumb I have set for myself when it comes to using Pinterest:
- Limit my time on the site to a few regular check ins per day. Close the Pinterest tab in my browser when it's not one of those times.
- Establish a separate Twitter presence for my Pinterest tweets. Allow friends who are interested in Pinterest to follow me there without forcing the rest of my Twitter buddies to be overwhelmed by tweets about pins.
- Be a good neighbor by liking, commenting or tweeting about other people's items as much as I do my own.
- Establish a limited number of boards that are directly related to my work and interests, but don't branch into to many additional, extraneous boards.
- Don't "follow all" when connecting with other Pinterest users, but rather study their boards when invited to connect and make careful selections to avoid being overwhelmed with information.
- Educate myself about Pinterest's terms of service and the current copyright information that is buzzing around the web. Only pin items that do not infringe on others' rights.
I'd love to hear from you if you are enjoying using Pinterest for work or pleasure. Do you have any tips or techniques that seem to be working well? What have you learned from your use of Pinterest.

Vagabond is exactly the same as Big Shot/Big Kick except it's electric. So yes, it will take all embossing folders, and all dies (including the thicker ones) EXCEPT for the very largest of the Grand Nesties (it will take most of the Grand Nesties, just not the very biggest ones).
Apparently some of them also catch on fire, I saw a thread about that recently.

Polaris 10, available June 29th
Ahead of its evening keynote at Computex 2016, AMD graphics chief Raja Koduri has just introduced what we used to call "Polaris". The company has decided on branding its tenth-generation graphics lineup the Radeon RX 400 Series, beginning first with the Radeon RX 480.
Gloflo credited with Darpa breakthrough
GlobalFoundries tech helps sort out spectrum mess
DARPA is crediting Glo-Flo's 32 nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology for providing the breakthrough it needed to sort out the mess over scarce electromagnetic (EM) spectrum.

Foundry market growing
Six percent growth in a flat market
The overall semiconductor market is going to be flat or slightly down this year, but the foundry market is forecast to grow 6.1 per cent.
Apple, Intel and IBM get on GloFlo's SOI bandwagon
FinFETs and SOI working in different environments
Soitec's CEO and board chairman has raised an eyebrow or two when he said that the iPhone 6s has multiple RF chips built on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates and that Intel and IBM are using the tech for their silicon photonics push.

My most recent version – pieced border is cut 4.5 inches by various lengths, the inner red border was cut 1.25 inches. There is a flange inserted between some of the blocks in a zigzag manner to give a little pop of red to the center of the quilt.
Here's a another version I made in Blue and Green. Note that the zig zags are not very distinct in this quilt so if you want to get that result, use two colors that strongly contrast like the red & purple quilt above.

Expert publishing blog opinions are solely those of the blogger and not necessarily endorsed by DBW.
Did you feel it? Did you feel the change?
If you're in the publishing world there's a chance you didn't. One reason for that could be you've been existing on the industry's shifting sands for a while now. Maybe you've grown so used to change that it doesn't even phase you anymore.
But I don't think that's it.
I think the reason you may not have noticed is that it's universal—set to impact every industry, every business, every website, everywhere. But I have a feeling it will hit book publishers a little harder than others.
The change I'm talking took place just a few weeks ago, on February 26, when Google announced that on Apri 21 it will be rolling out a new version of its search algorithm, which determines what shows up when you or I or anyone searches for something online.
And what is all the more incredible is that Google announced its algorithm change ahead of time.
Until now, the company has never given advance notice before a change of such magnitude goes live, and even afterwards Google doesn't always comment on what happened. It's usually up to us professionals to figure out what Google has done, by analyzing the changes that we (or our clients) are seeing in traffic to our sites and revenue from our customers' online purchases. And only then can we try to figure out what needs to be done to adjust to the impact.
You see, the world has already gone mobile. But you probably knew that already. Chances are, about a third or more of you are actually reading this on a mobile device. Here at Biztegra we have clients who are seeing up to (and sometimes more than) 50% of their traffic and online revenue from mobile.
If you ask me, the fact that Google made the announcement it did must mean that this is going to change things dramatically and confirms that it also sees the mobile boom as a massive, inexorable shift that's already well underway.
If you're a publisher whose online presence isn't up to the task of delivering content to a mobile device, and if your site looks the same regardless of the platform someone is using to view it—seamlessly—your search rankings are going to take a hit. I'm guessing a big hit.
But don't take it from me; take it from Google:
Starting April 21, we will be expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. This change will affect mobile searches in all languages worldwide and will have a significant impact in our search results. Consequently, users will find it easier to get relevant, high quality search results that are optimized for their devices (my emphasis).
The shift is an acknowledgment of the ways readers and shoppers are now experiencing content and making purchases. It's a push to make mobile responsiveness the new normal for everyone (including publishers) because mobile access already is normal for consumers.
Chances are if you are a small to mid-size publisher, your site was already out of date. It probably isn't optimized for search or for social, and it certainly isn't responsive. I know this because in my research for clients and in preparing late last year for a series of webinars and presentations I spent a lot of time searching for exemplary sites that are fully responsive. And the vast majority of publishers' websites I looked at weren't ready. And this was in December—already three months ago.
So what can you do to get your own site up to speed in time for Google's algorithm change?
First, utilize Google's free tools to find out how mobile ready/responsive your site is. I would suggest doing the test on your homepage and also on a book page.
In fact, go ahead and check now. I'll wait.
What were the results? If both pages came back with the message, "Awesome! This page is mobile-friendly," then congratulations! You're already part of the way there. You now need to go and optimize everything else on your site.
But if you got a message saying something like, "Not mobile-friendly," you have some serious considerations and decisions ahead of you.
What are your options? Depending on whether you have a responsive site or not, it may be time to bite the bullet and get a new one altogether.
Especially if you're thinking about building out a direct-to-consumer focus for your publishing business, there couldn't be a better time to start fresh than right now, before all your competitors start preparing for Google's approaching algorithm shift.
Launching a new website or upgrading your old one doesn't need to be a cataclysmic event, though it's certainly a big undertaking. I've written previously about three steps publishers can take to begin moving toward a direct-to-consumer approach, saying, "It all starts with a great website that helps readers discover your titles in an increasingly crowded and competitive digital marketplace."
Becoming mobile responsive is now one of the key criteria for creating that great website. It's no longer a choice; it's a requirement.
In the meantime, let me know in the comments below what your results were when you checked your site against Google's mobile tools.

COLLEGEVILLE — Stillwater graduate and St. John's University senior Joe Balder was named to the Capital One Academic All-District VI men's soccer team on Oct. 31.
Balder has served as a captain for the Johnnies each of the past two seasons and a two-time Academic All-MIAC honoree, which is reserved for players with a minimum 3.50 grade point average.
The honor caps an injury-plagued season for Balder, who missed the first four games with a torn hip flexor. After starting the next eight games, the defender suffered a season- and career-ending broken fibula and tibia in a game against Bethel on Oct. 12.
In 55 career matches for the Johnnies, Balder totaled six goals — including two game-winners — and six assists for 18 points.
"Joe is truly the quintessential student-athlete," SJU head coach John Haws said. "He fully buys into our notion that you can excel in multiple areas. He has rejected the either/or paradigm and embraced the both/and model that Johnnie soccer student-athletes are expected to strive toward."
Balder, who is a Hispanic studies and business management double major with a 3.71 GPA, also becomes eligible for Academic All-America honors, which will be announced Nov. 22. A year ago, Balder was also a member of a United States Division III All-Star Team that played in Brazil.
The Johnnies defeated Concordia-Moorhead 5-0 on Saturday to earn the No. 4 seed for the MIAC Playoffs on Nov. 6 at top-seeded Gustavus Adolphus. St. John's (6-2-2 MIAC, 8-6-3) lost to the Gusties 4-0 on Sept. 28, but is 5-0-2 in league games since that loss.

" Brand: Hugs & Kisses / Type: Buggy Bar / Travel Toy / Type: Travel Toys "
Now my daughter is incredibly alert a lot more of the time when out and about it is nice for her to be entertained by something. My toy of choice has recently been one by the Lamaze range but as it hangs off the handle of her babyseat/ carrier she can't always get to it or if she has it and lets go it ends up hanging at the side of the pushchair frame. When we went to Babies R Us to buy the Hugs & Kisses Travel Mobile sitting next to it on the same shelf was the Hugs & Kisses Curly Travel Toy and in the end we opted for this as again it matched the Travel Mobile and we already had the Hugs & Kisses Baby on Board sign (I also like everything to match!).
*~* What is it? *~*
The curly travel toy in the Hugs & Kisses range is essentially a long toy made of flexible material which can go on pushchair bar, car seat handle or cot top rail. It is meant to keep a baby entertained.
*~* Packaging *~*
The Hugs & Kisses Curly Travel Toy comes complete in its own clear plastic carry bag which is bound in a reinforced pink edging. It has a pink rope handle and it is done up at the back by a clear flap sealed with a bit of velcro. It's an ideal little case to store especially if you don't want to use it all the time.
*~* The Toy *~*
The curly travel toy is incredibly flexible and can be bent around most things. All you need to do is simply take it out its packaging and put it around your car seat handle or whatever you want it to go on.
It is covered in a lovely pink shabby chic type material which fits in with the Hugs & Kisses range (all their products are made out of the same material). At either end there is a padded, fabric heart and around the curls there are three attachments. They consist of a lovely padded bird, a house and another heart together with a plastic pink flower. The attachments all have different feels to them, there is a bell, crinkle material and a rattle and these all help to assist in sensory development.
*~* In Use *~*
What I found with this curly travel toy is that it isn't particularly long and I would have preferred it to have been longer so it would go along my daughter's car seat handle more as it currently ends up getting bunched up in the middle and every time I take the car seat out I end up having to pull it back into position which is annoying as it just doesn't seem to want to stay in place. Ideally I would like it to be long enough so it can around the whole of the car seat handle or at least three quarters of it and for it to stay there.
The attachments cannot be removed and hang down on a piece of thick, fabric covered elastic so if the child does pull on it, it won't come off. The attachments are evenly spread apart and sit happily in each curl, you can of course move them up or down in the curl should you wish them to be lower or higher.
Generally I am pretty happy with this toy as it does keep my daughters attention well and she responds to the different sounds of the attachments well and has started to try and reach them herself. My daughter doesn't seem to mind that it isn't long enough or doesn't stay in place too well unlike her mother! If my daughter likes it then it was a worthwhile purchase even though there a few little niggling issues I have about it. However, I do like the very girly shabby chic theme of the Hugs & Kisses range and the attachments are lovely but it would be nice if you could remove them to be able to put them elsewhere on the curly toy but it is hardly an issue that you can't remove them.
*~* Price & Availability *~*
The Hugs & Kisses Curly Travel Toy is available from Babies R Us and costs £12.99 which seems be quite an average price for the curly type toys.
*~* Overall *~*
It keeps my daughter's attention and she seems to like it so that is the main thing. I probably should have tried it on my car seat handle before buying it but hindsight is a wonderful thing! It's a cute, girly travel toy which pleases my daughter and it didn't break the bank.

Let's cut to the chase
It was amazing, blah blah blah, it was so true to the, blah blah blah.... Did you beat all (I think it was like 11 or 12) of the endings? Are you a true gangsta!? Personally, I thought Fighting Lavos w/ just Crono and Marle (New Game +) was hard as hell man! very rewarding ending though.........
I only finished it twice, and both times I got the balloon ending. I've was working on another one, but corrupted saves destroyed those aspirations.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Awesome can't begin to describe how epic this is.
I can imagine Chrono and Marle playing together in the fields outside Guardia forest whenever I listen to this. 10/10, 5/5, and faved. My favorite part in the game is whenever I have the Safe Helm and the Prismdress on Marle to make her a ridiculously durable support tank. She's pretty much impossible to knock out afterwords, and then just spam haste. Nothing can survive that kind of onslaught...NOTHING!!
Hey, thanks! I'm a huge fan of Yasunori Mitsuda. Feel free to check out my other Chrono Trigger stuff.

A real moment of remembrance thanks to you. THANK YOU !!!
Lol, you're welcome. Good to know someone remembers it.

I've just about summed it up right there. Brings back memories... Thanks :)

Preparatory talks resumed this week to the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) opening in Johannesburg, South Africa, in late August 2002. The IAEA is among organizations attending sessions of the WSSD Preparatory Committee (PrepCom), which now is focusing on details of the agenda. The overall aim is to reach consensus on practical measures, particularly through partnerships, that will advance sustainable development around the world
As part of its support of the WSSD, the IAEA has contributed a background document that focuses on its assistance to developing countries for the implementation of Agenda 21, the global action plan adopted at the World Summit in 1992, in Rio de Janeiro. Also recently issued is a brochure that highlights the contributions of nuclear technologies and IAEA-supported projects in fields of water development; food and agricultural production; human health; environmental protection; and technology transfer to build up national infrastructures and capacities for implementing development projects.
After this PrepCom, which runs from 25 March to 8 April at the United Nations in New York, there will be one more Preparatory Meeting at the ministerial level in Bali, Indonesia. At that meeting, scheduled from 27 May to 7 June, participants will consider a political declaration to be endorsed by Heads of State and Government in Johannesburg.

The Batmobile, a souped-up 1955 Lincoln Futura used in the 1966 series, now has a new owner for the first time in decades. And it most likely does not come with a bumper-to-bumper warranty.
Rick Champagne, who owns Champagne Logistics in Tempe, Ariz., paid $4.6 million for the car that has had only one previous owner — customizer George Barris, who originally created the Batmobile for the television series.
Buying television and movie cars can be problematic, because many times multiple cars are used for a single production. That means finding the primary car used in a series or movie can be difficult, if not impossible. Not to mention that multiple cars being in existence can dilute the value of one car purchased.
But that wasn't the case for the Batmobile. Only one Futura was purchased, only one was souped up, and only one was used by Adam West and Burt Ward in the original television series. That makes the Batmobile — especially in the mint shape that it's in — a very valuable car.
Not too much is known about the buyer, Champagne. He started his trucking company in 1996, and maintains offices in Massachusetts, North Carolina and Texas. According to a bio on his company's website, Champagne got his first job as a commissioned salesperson for Mayflower Van Lines in New Hampshire in 1977 selling household relocation services. He would become one of Mayflower's top sales agents, and in 1989, relocated to Arizona and joining Atlantic North American.
The Batmobile itself has an amazingly fascinating history, especially with its life in Hollywood. The Futura was originally built as a concept car for $250,000 ($2.1 million today) by the Ford Motor Co. Its original color was white, but was painted red for the 1959 film "It Started With a Kiss."
The original Batmobile was actually supposed to be a Cadillac redesigned by Dean Jeffries. However, when the network decided it was going to premiere "Batman" earlier than expected, Jeffries wasn't able to complete the work, and instead producers turned to Barris. Barris had already purchased the Futura, and was hoping to help it gain attention, so he was able to create the Batmobile from it within days.
Barris painted the car black, and added red striping, but would maintain ownership of the vehicle during the run of the series, leasing it to the studio. The car needed a lot of maintenance during those filming years, with constant tire changes, overheating, and the replacement of engine parts from a Ford Galaxie.
It's not clear how much Barris originally paid for the car, but his upgrades cost $30,000, or $219,000 today.
The original Batmobile remains an iconic car — even reproduced as a toy for decades afterward by Mattel. Newer, more advanced versions of the Batmobile were created for the later movies that began in 1989, but many find nostalgic bliss in the original Batmobile that was a part of 120 episodes of television folklore.
Champagne told Speed TV that he would dislay the car in his living room. It's unclear whether he was serious, or if he intended to make the original car available to the public.

Simple reminders help Poeppel stay focused on state tennis
Jasmine Poeppel sees herself at the state tennis tournament everyday.
Central High School's No. 3 singles player is in her first full season of playing singles, and despite not having a plethora of experience, she knows where she wants to be in May.
"On a mirror in my bedroom I have 'state' written in really big letters," Poeppel said. "So every day when I am straightening my hair, I can see myself at state."
Poeppel has moved up into singles after playing mostly at the No. 2 doubles position for the Warriors last season. The junior has gotten better throughout the early part of the season, and after weekend wins over Durango (6-2, 6-1) and Montezuma-Cortez (6-1, 6-0), she hopes to carry that success into today's match at Fruita Monument at 4 p.m.
"I think it has been going really well," Poeppel said. "I like singles a lot better; I can't blame it on anyone else if I lose so that's easier for me."
Poeppel's story isn't one of a tennis prodigy, but more of a curious athlete looking for a new sport. Poeppel first picked up a racket as a freshman and has grown into a strong player.
"I think I have improved so much from my freshman year," Poeppel said. "Being able to get a consistent hard serve and hitting winners is something I am proud of myself for.
Poeppel is now in what might be her natural position as a singles player. Central coach Amy
Hart said Poeppel's height and athleticism are better suited to play singles.
"For her, it was a good move because I think she is a better singles player than a doubles player," Hart said. "She is tall, which makes her good at the net. And she's aggressive."
Although she is a better fit in singles, Poeppel has had to adjust to some of the rigors that go along with playing alone. She said the Western Slope Invitational earlier this month was a nice introduction to the singles game.
"Physically I have never been so sore than how I was after the Western Slope," Poeppel said.
"Also, when you have a good shot in doubles you have a teammate to come and give you a high-five. In singles you just have to be able to tell yourself that was a beautiful shot, which can be really hard."
But Poeppel's desire for success in singles might be the fact she can see it. Poeppel said she likes to visualize herself playing well.
"If I can see myself doing well, that really helps," Poeppel said. "Between serves, if I don't picture myself doing a perfect serve, I will hit it into the net. So I have to visualize myself playing a perfect game."
Poeppel takes on another first-time singles player when she faces Fruita Monument's Janine Kirtland in today's match.


text: Well…here it is – our last post of 2013!!! What a year it has been. Normally, this is about the time where we reflect back and share some of our favorite wedding images from the year's weddings. But this year I thought it would be more fun to share something that we've never shared on our blog before – partly because of how personal we cater these to our brides and grooms. You see, over the years we've realized that the most joyful experience we were getting out of these weddings were the unforgettably, unique stories that each one of our couples possessed – whether a couple acquired a special bond over craft beers, or catchy phrases chanted through the entirety of a wedding as a reminder to simply laugh and enjoy the day. Each one different, yet memorable. It's pretty much our mantra! And our goal was to graphically present these to our brides and grooms without prior communication of what the final product will end up looking like (after all, they trust us and our abilities). The results were astounding! It really has been my favorite part of this whole experience, and I can't wait to show you guys what we have in store for 2014!

Christmas Spirit Does Exist
You go along through your day and see what a jaded world we live in. People are dealing with their own problems and don't seem to have time for anyone else. It troubles me as I see people steering away more and more from helping their fellow man. Then, I see something like this story, which renews my faith in the idea of good people in the world.
As the story goes, a man took to reddit to talk about how he will not be able to face his kids at Christmas. He talked about how he was not going to be able to pay his bills let alone buy gifts. Other users caught sight of what he had to say and decided to do more than just say, "gee, tough break." One woman contacted him and offered to pay his entire water bill and did so. Others bought toys for his kids for Christmas. So much poured in that the man has had to turn around and give the gifts to others just because he had as much as he needed.
It's easy this time of year to see the ugliness that is human-kind. Just one trip into the traffic around the mall is enough to see that. But this kind of example just goes to show that there is some good in everyone. These people acted on it and made a difference in this man's life and in the lives of several of his family members.
The Christmas spirit does exist and moments like this make it clear. Makes you think that it really could be a Merry Christmas.

Servers at chef Susur Lee's Zentan restaurant boast enthusiastically that this slaw, piled high with goodies and suitable as a main course, contains many ingredients. That might not necessarily be a bonus to the home cook, but the time and effort required to gather and assemble the components pay tasty dividends.
Make Ahead: The pickled onion can be made a week ahead; you'll make more than you need for this recipe. The plum dressing can be made several days in advance. The onion oil can be made a month ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container. The pickled onion can be refrigerated for several weeks.
Servings: 8
Yield: (2 servings per bowl)
- For the onion oil
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups vegetable oil
- 2 cups loosely packed chopped leeks, white parts only (cleaned)
- 2 scallions, white and light-green parts, chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- For the pickled onion
- 1 small red onion, peeled and cut into thin strips (julienne)
- 1 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 sprig thyme
- For the dressing
- 1 cup salted plum (ume) paste (available at Asian markets)
- 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup mirin
- 1 teaspoon dashi (available at Japanese markets)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon peeled and chopped fresh ginger root
- For the slaw
- 2 scallions, white and light-green parts, cut into long, THREE-INCH PIECES AND CUT INTO thin strips (julienne) (1 CUP)
- Vegetable oil, for frying (about 6 cups)
- 1 (4 ounces) taro root, peeled and cut into very thin julienne (may substitute a russet potato)
- Salt, as needed
- 2 ounces rice vermicelli noodles, pulled apart into 2 sections
- 1 large (1 pound) unpeeled English (seedless) cucumber, cut into julienne (2 cups)
- 1 large (6 ounces) carrot, peeled and cut into julienne (1 1/4 cup)
- 1 small (1 pound) jicama, peeled and cut into julienne (3 1/2 cups)
- 1 (7 ounces) daikon radish, peeled, trimmed and cut into julienne (3 cups)
- 2 large (8 ounces) Roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded and cut into thin slices
- 4 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
- 6 teaspoons crushed toasted hazelnuts
- 4 teaspoons fried shallots (available in Asian markets; may substitute 1 large shallot, cut into thin slices and fried)
- 4 teaspoons edible flower petals
- 4 teaspoons micro purple basil
- 4 teaspoons micro beet greens
- 4 teaspoons daikon sprouts (available at Asian markets)
- 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
For the onion oil: Combine the oil, leeks, scallions and onion in a medium saucepan over high heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 50 to 55 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions and leeks are crisped and browned. Remove from the heat; strain the oil into a bowl, discarding the solids or reserving them for another use (such as adding to the slaw). The yield is 1 1/2 cups.
Let the oil cool before transferring it to a jar. It can be refrigerated for up to 1 month.
For the pickled onion: Place the onion in a medium bowl. Combine the vinegar, water and salt in a small saucepan over high heat; bring to a boil. Wrap the peppercorns, fennel seed, bay leaf and thyme in a small piece of cheesecloth tied with kitchen twine to create a sachet; submerge it in the mixture and continue to boil for 5 minutes. Pour the hot mixture over the onion in the bowl, discarding the sachet; let the onion sit for 1 hour. The yield is 1 3/4 to 2 cups.
For the dressing: Combine the salted plum (ume) paste, rice wine vinegar, mirin, dashi, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the onion oil, sugar and ginger in a blender; puree until smooth. The yield is 2 cups.
For the slaw: Soak the scallions in a bowl of very cold water to keep them crisp.
Line 2 large plates with several layers of paper towels.
Heat a large pot of oil over high heat to a temperature of 350 degrees. Add half of the taro root and fry for 2 minutes or until crisp and light gold in color. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and lightly season with salt. Once the oil has returned to 350 degrees, repeat with the remaining taro root.
Once the oil returns to 350 degrees, add half of the vermicelli and fry for a second or two, or just until the noodles curl. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; once the oil has returned to 350 degrees, repeat with the remaining vermicelli.
To assemble: Remove the scallions from the bowl and blot them on paper towels.
Divide the vermicelli equally among 4 wide,shallow pasta bowls, forming tall, tapering mounds.
Combine the cucumber, carrot, jicama, daikon radish, tomatoes, 1 cup of the pickled onion and scallions in a large bowl; mix well, then distribute even portions of the mixture among the 4 plates of vermicelli. Top with equal amounts of the fried taro root.
Sprinkle each portion of slaw with equal amounts of the sesame seeds, hazelnuts, fried shallots, flowers, micro basil and micro greens, daikon sprouts and pickled ginger. Serve the slaw with salted-plum dressing on the side (4 tablespoons of dressing per bowl should be ample); furnish the guests with the appropriate utensils so that they can toss the slaw themselves.

NC bigot pastor Patrick Wooden invited to LaBarbera presser claims 'gay men need diapers'
Peter LaBarbera is trying to do damage control about the pathetic press conference he held today outside of the Southern Poverty Law Center. He, along with the black rent-a-pastors he brought along the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to boost his credibility, only managed to confirm that these anti-gay organizations belong on SPLC's designated hate group list.
The bonus proof? The presence of one of NC's most visible marriage discrimination amendment proponents, Patrick Wooden of Raleigh's Upper Room Church of Christ in God. This pimp of bigotry made this utterly deranged anus-obsessive statement on the air with LaBarbera on January 14. From People for the American Way's Right Wing Watch:
Wooden: The God of the Bible made the human sperm, the God of the Bible designed it and it was not designed to be emptied into an area that is filled with feces, there is nothing for it to germinate with, it will most certainly mean the extinction of the human race. My belief is that if the medical community would just step forward and just would share with the American people what happens to the male anus, the problems that homosexuals have with their rectums, the damage that is done, the operations that are needed to sew up their bodies if you will, and how many of the men don't even give these stitches time to heal before they are back out there practicing that wicked behavior. Some are bleeders, men who are not turned off by ingesting the feces of other men.
…If the truth was told, people would literally gag and no one would want to be in a lifestyle like that. Who wants to practice anything that is going to ultimately lead a grown man to about the time he's in his 40s or 50s, or what not, having to wear a diaper or a butt plug just to be able to contain their bowels?
Wow. Just. Wow. Someone needs some time on the couch to discuss some personal issues. The SPLC had this to say about the motley crew of fundamentalist haters.
Today at noon, a group of the nastiest gay-bashers in America plans to hold a press conference in front of the Montgomery, Ala., offices of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which publishes this blog. Claiming that the SPLC is engaged in a "campaign to demonize adherents of traditional Judeo-Christian morality," the white organizers of the press conference are bringing along a set of black pastors in a presumed bid to embarrass the SPLC, a 40-year-old anti-racist civil rights organization.
The irony is that SPLC has named five of the participating organizations as hate groups precisely because they demonize LGBT people, using a series of well-worn lies to paint gays and lesbians as perverts, pedophiles and worse. Despite the claims of the groups, the SPLC is not attacking anyone's morality. Instead, our hate group listings reflect the fact that they regularly propagate known falsehoods.
Take the press conference's chief organizer, Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), and its leader, Peter LaBarbera. In 2007, LaBarbera claimed that there was "a disproportionate incidence of pedophilia" among gay men — a devastating accusation, but one that is entirely false, according to all the relevant scientific organizations. LaBarbera has compared the alleged dangers of homosexuality to those of "smoking, alcohol and drug abuse" and the AFTAH website describes it as a "lethal behavior addiction." AFTAH has also claimed that an anti-bullying bill in California promoted cross-dressing and sex-change operations, among other things, to kindergartners and other children.
Surf over and read SPLC's breakdown of the bigots that attended today's press conference — there's no doubt that these are hate groups.
Speaking of NC and the amendment, tomorrow is the kickoff of Protect All NC Families campaign site to defeat Amendment One. Its web site is up: http://www.protectncfamilies.org/. The event will be held at Room #1228 in the North Carolina General Assembly building. You can follow along at its media action center: http://goo.gl/uYzyX

ANAHEIM – The NHL came down hard Saturday on Chris Pronger, handing the Ducks captain an eight-game suspension for stomping on the leg of Vancouver center Ryan Kesler during Wednesday night's 4-1 victory over the Canucks at Honda Center.
Pronger will begin serving the suspension Saturday night, when the Ducks play the visiting St. Louis Blues, and will be eligible to return to action in the April 6 regular-season finale against the Phoenix Coyotes.
The incident occurred early in the second period after Pronger and Kesler became entangled near the end boards in the Ducks' zone. Prone on the ice, Kesler appeared to apply a leg lock on Pronger in an effort to restrain him from moving up ice.
"In attempting to free himself, Pronger carelessly and recklessly brought his foot down," NHL director of hockey operations Colin Campbell said in a statement announcing the ruling.
Kesler escaped injury and no penalty was assessed to either player. Pronger initially appeared to have avoided supplementary discipline from the league, until a clearer Canadian-television video of the play surfaced Thursday night and drew further scrutiny from the NHL. Campbell conducted a disciplinary hearing via telephone Saturday, before the Ducks' morning skate.
"I didn't really plead my case all that much," Pronger said. "There probably wasn't too much to say, really. There's not a place for these types of incidents in our game. Obviously, what they needed to do, they needed to do."
Suspended seven times previously during an NHL career that began in 1993, including twice during last season's Stanley Cup playoffs, Pronger will forfeit $609,756.08 of his $6.25 million annual salary. He offered apologies to Kesler, the Canucks and Ducks organizations, the NHL and fans.
"We may play an entertaining, firebrand style of hockey, but there's a line that needs to be drawn, and certainly that's an instance where you're going over the line," Pronger said. "He's holding my foot. I'm trying to yank it free, and come down on him. It's not something I condone, or the league condones, and certainly I'm willing to live with the consequences. Having said that, obviously there were mitigating circumstances to what happened."
The Ducks won both playoff games without Pronger last season and are 2-0 this season in games he missed because of a broken jaw, but losing the standout defenseman for such a lengthy period is an unquestioned blow, particularly to their hopes of repeating as Pacific Division champions.
"Our organizational motto is no complaints, no excuses," Ducks general manager Brian Burke said. "That's not going to change. There are no complaints about this and no excuses for it. Chris Pronger plays the game the way we – when I say we, the royal family, we in the National Hockey League – want it played, as far as being a highly skilled player who's also physical.
"This particular action, stepping on a player with his skate blade, does not belong in our game. He knows that, and he's responded appropriately. Does he have to change his game? Certainly, this can't be part of his repertoire, or any other player's. As far as the rest of Chris' repertoire, being a physical force out there, I don't think he can change, and I don't think he should change."
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle can call on reserve defensemen Marc-Andre Bergeron or Joe DiPenta to fill Pronger's lineup spot, while veteran Mathieu Schneider will step onto the first power-play unit on the point opposite Scott Niedermayer.
"It's not the way you draw it up," Niedermayer said. "It's not how you want things to happen, but these things do happen in a game that moves quick and is intense. Our jobs don't really change, no matter who's in the lineup. We have to go out there and play as a team, play the systems as well as we can, do it together, and that will give us a chance to win.
"Chris is a guy – and we know that – who plays an intense game. I'm sure he's said before that he's not going to change the way he plays. I personally think the incident was a lot different than a lot of incidents that happen. It was sort of just a quick reaction that could be viewed in many, many ways."
