United Sports Lacrosse has selected girls lacrosse coach, Samantha Adey, as one of only eight coaches nation-wide to coach at the All-American Showcase this July in Lake Buena Vista, FL.
The All-American Showcase is part of the ESPN Rise Games. The top 80 US Lacrosse High-School All-Americans are invited to attend. The 80 attendees from all parts of the country will be split into four teams and will compete throughout the three days of the event.
"I am honored to be chosen," said Adey. "I am really looking forward to this opportunity to coach the best high school players in the country."
And it's not just Adey who's excited, other USM faculty are also enthusiastic for her success.
"This honor, to be chosen, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Cameron Feist, USM boys' lacrosse coach said. "I'm sure Sam will bring back skills, drills and stories from this positive experience. This honor for Sam also brings recognition that Wisconsin Lacrosse is growing to the level to be able to offer a coach for this event."
Adey played lacrosse in high school at Germantown Academy near Philadelphia, PA., and also in college at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA. Adey was named Lehigh's 2000 Athlete of the Year in Women's Lacrosse and chosen for the Patriot League's Academic-Athletic Honor Roll the same year.
A US Lacrosse Level 2 certified coach, Adey has been coaching the USM girls' team for the past two years and she helped move girls lacrosse from a club sport to a varsity sport. Adey is also on the Board of Directors of the Wisconsin Lacrosse Federation (WLF) and is the WLF Director of Girls' High School Lacrosse. She is presently a head coach for the Milwaukee Select Club Lacrosse program and a member of Wisconsin Lacrosse Coaches Association.

25 percent marijuana tax clears Colorado House
Category: Legalization | Posted on Wed, May, 1st 2013 by THCFinder
DENVER (AP) -- Recreational pot taxes above 25 percent have won final approval in the House and await action in the Senate.
The tax vote was a party-line 37-27 without debate Tuesday. The taxes would be a 15 percent excise tax, with the money used for school construction, and a new 10 marijuana sales tax, to pay for regulation and enforcement. Those would be in addition to a statewide 2.9 percent sales tax and any local sales taxes.
Republicans say that the pot tax rate may be too high, and voters may reject the taxes on ballots this fall. Democrats argue that Coloradans want marijuana taxed steeply, and that the high tax rate is in line with other sin taxes such as tobacco taxes and gaming taxes.
Retail pot sales begin in January.

You Probably Won't Be Able To Buy Marijuana With A Credit Card Anytime Soon
Category: News | Posted on Tue, April, 30th 2013 by THCFinder
Now that marijuana is legal in small amounts in Washington and Colorado, officials in those state are having a heckuva time figuring out how to regulate those businesses and collect taxes on their daily doings. But even with the approval of state governments, there's still the tricky question of how these establishments will be able to do their business — in other words, will customers be able to pay with cash, check or credit?
The ease and convenience of pulling out your plastic to make a purchase makes it a popular way to pay, but because marijuana is illegal under our country's Controlled Substances Act, for now it's likely going to be a cash-only business for growers and sellers, notes CNNMoney. Basically, banks don't want be accused of money laundering, so they won't take on businesses connected with drugs even if they're legal in a certain state.
That puts such businesses into a cash-only position, which can be tough on both the owners and the customers. One Seattle store's CEO said American Express and Discover dropped him last fall, and Visa and Mastercard bowed out soon after. He had to buy his own ATM and fill it with his own cash, then deposit the rest at his bank. The whole thing makes him a bit squirrelly.
"The more cash you have sitting around, the more of a target you are," he said.

Vauxhall wants to be seen as more than an 'everyman' brand. It wants to be up there with the German big three, can it make it? The Insignia VXR Supersport seems to be a step in the right direction.
The Insignia Connected TV is a competent television for the money, but the TiVo interface detracts from rather than adds to the experience.
Pricing not available
The Insignia NS-55E480 is a surprisingly decent 55-inch LED TV from Best Buy's in-house brand and features good black levels and vibrant colors.
The Insignia NS-55E480A13A is part of a new breed of budget TVs that can offer a big screen for a pocket-friendly price with above-average picture quality.
It's about as bare-bones as a TV can get, but it also has stellar user ratings -- and ships for free.
Due next month, the 9.7-inch Android tablet will be priced between $239 and $259, Reuters reports.
It won't slice or dice, brew your coffee, or fetch your slippers, but the Insignia Infocast's ability to put news, music, photos, calendars, and social networks at your fingertips makes it a worthy addition to today's digitally-enabled home.
The Insignia NS-CNV43 offers advanced Internet-connected features that we like at a very competitive price, but its shaky implementation of key basic features and slow performance spoil the navigation experience.

Alpha Phi Gamma
Wednesday, 20 April 2011 07:45
Alpha Phi Gamma is an Asian American sorority. Created in 1994, the sisters of Alpha Phi Gamma began the sorority at California State Polytechnic University. With seven founding members, Alpha Phi Gamma began reaching out to other universities in the country to begin chapters.
Alpha Phi Gamma reached the University of Arizona in 2000. They were the first Asian American sorority at the UA, as well as in the state of Arizona.
"We are the Delta Chapter," said Sarah Ahmed, the president of Alpha Phi Gamma. "It means a lot to our organization and our community that we are the first Asian American Greek organization to come to Arizona. Our sisters take pride in that and proud of the difference we have made."
A main goal of the chapter is philanthropy. With their national philanthropy being the Fight Against Violence Towards Women, they also take initiative to support other philanthropic endeavors.
Another goal of the sorority is to bring Asian awareness to the campus. Alpha Phi Gamma works closely with the Asian Pacific American Student Affairs organization at the University of Arizona.
Alpha Phi Gamma's secretary Tiffany Pei, stressed the importance of awareness of other cultures in a university setting.
"Our chapter makes sure we put on events and programs that tailor to spreading the word on Asian American information," said Pei. "With April being Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, it gives us an opportunity to spread the word even more."
The sorority has a large number of exchange students and transfer students join the chapter because of the safe community they built, according to Pei.
"We have a ton of students transfer and do exchanges from primarily Asian countries who join our chapter for their time being here," said Pei. "We give them a sense of belonging and show how we represent our culture across borders."
With no current transfer or exchange students, Ahmed shed light on what she has benefited from the chapter and those exchange students who have been in the chapter.
"It really is astounding how similar we all are," said Ahmed. "We can cross borders and be brought up in completely different cultures and at the end of the day, we are all college students who are interested in the same things. I love this sorority, I love my sisters, and I love what this chapter has done for me as a person and as an Asian woman."

---- — Four local female senior varsity athletes were recognized as part of the 27th annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day last Friday. The girls, Pentucket's Marissa Porter and Tori Spofford, and Newburyport's Lea Tomasz and Casey Barlow were picked by their coaches and athletic directors as standout female athletes for their respective schools.
"I was really happy to be chosen," said Porter, who co-captains the girls cross-country team for the Sachems, runs indoor track and plays lacrosse. "I was proud to be there. It was a really good experience to be with girls from all across the state who are athletes like you are. It was a good environment to be in."
The event was held in Faneuil Hall and featured a pair of inspiring guest speakers. TD Garden president Amy Latimer was the keynote speaker, and former Rockford Peaches centerfielder and original member of the All-American Women's Baseball League Mae Mordabito (who was played in the 1992 film, "A League of Their Own," by Madonna) was a crowd favorite.
"We have so many more opportunities now," said Spofford. "And they keep adding sports that girls can play. (Mordabito) only had baseball as an opportunity back then. And she's still going. She's amazing."
Spofford, who co-captains the Pentucket field hockey, indoor track and lacrosse teams, says she was moved by the event and sees her opportunities as a female athlete in the 21st century as boundless, thanks to women like Mordabito.
"My friend, Sam Bomba, she's the goalie on the hockey team," said Spofford, who would love to try rugby some day. "And she's starting varsity. I think that's amazing too. I'd love to do something like that. I love the sports I play. I love the sports I chose. But I'd love to do everything."
Latimer also stood out as a speaker.
"The keynote speaker was really good, she had an awesome story to tell," Porter said of Latimer. "She talked about growing up playing sports and the opportunities she had then as opposed to all the opportunities we have now. She worked really hard to get where she is now. After listening to her, I felt really inspired."
Tomasz, who plays field hockey, basketball and softball, represented the Clippers along with Barlow (cross-country, basketball, softball).
"There were a lot of different girls there," said Tomasz. "There were over 200 girls from all over Massachusetts. It was cool to see all those other girls who play sports because usually sports are always based around boys. So it was interesting to see all the other girls there."
Tomasz and Barlow were also joined in attendance by fellow Clipper female varsity athletes Kendra Dow (field hockey, hockey, softball) and Meri Adsit (cross-country, indoor track, lacrosse.)
"She talked about all the sports that go on (at the TD Garden)," Tomasz said of Latimer. "She went to the University of Rhode Island to play basketball, and she realized just how much she liked to be around sports, and how her sport has grown to be as vital as it is today."
"It's always nice to be chosen for something like that," said Spofford, who hopes to play field hockey at Babson College next year. "It's such an honor."

Looking Ahead
WHO: No. 13 seed Commerce (5-5) at No. 4 Seminole County (8-2)
WHAT: Opening round of the GHSA Class A state playoffs.
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday.
WHERE: Donalsonville.
DONALSONVILLE — Seminole County quarterback Jakhari Martin was hearing it from everybody.
The Indians were too young and inexperienced ... They lost too much talent and too much depth to be any good this season ... There was no way they were going to win.
Of course, Martin didn't believe any of it.
"I was telling everybody that we would be good, but nobody would believe me," Martin said Monday. "But that's what motivated us, to prove everybody wrong."
The Indians (8-2) aren't flying under the radar any longer. They have won seven straight games, finished undefeated in Region 1-A and are the No. 4 seed in the state playoffs, which begin Friday at home against No. 13 Commerce.
It's the first year the public and private Class A teams have been separated into two different brackets, seemingly making the road to a state championship easier for public schools like Seminole. But that's not how Indians coach Alan Ingram is looking at things — not with a youthful team that doesn't have enough experience to look past Friday night.
"There are 16 teams in this," Ingram began, "so we are just looking at this like it's a second-round game. We passed the first test, which was a bye last week, and that means we are in the second round. You just have to take it one game at a time."
It's cliché, but it's been working this season for the Indians, who surprised even Ingram by winning the school's fourth region title and second in a row after losing stars Chris Brown, The Herald's 2011 Player of the Year, and Dee Virgin from last year's team that produced the best season in SCHS history when it reached the state quarterfinals before losing — to a private school, no less.
That's right, the Indians' success this year even caught their coach off guard.
"We don't have any superstars. Everybody is working together and playing as hard as they can, and really we have been overachieving," Ingram said. "Our skill players aren't as athletic or as experienced as they have been. On paper, our secondary and linebackers are the weakest we have had. There's no experience there. But the thing about these kids is that they are playing together. They believe in each other, believe in the coaches and believe in the system."
They have been believing from day one.
"I knew we could win," Martin said. "They were saying we were young and not ready to win yet. But we're right on time."
Two weeks ago, the Indians weren't even sure if they would make the playoffs under the new power-rating system that ranks Class A teams on a number of different criteria. But a region title gave Seminole an automatic bid into the playoffs, and now the Indians look like one of the teams to beat in the 16-team field.
They've rushed for 2,799 yards and 38 touchdowns this season and have been led by Martin, who has 804 yards and 12 TDs on 127 carries. Daquan Hamlet (580 yards, 9 TDs), Thomas Aiken (571 yards, 6 TDs) and Javonte Smith (463 yards, 7 TDs) have also fueled the Indians' rushing attack, with could go punch-for-punch with Commerce's backfield.
"They line up and run at you just like we do," Ingram said. "I talked to their coach on the phone (Monday) and he said, 'We don't throw the ball.' I said, 'Well, neither do we. Your stay in Donalsonville will probably be a short one. It could be a quick ball game.' "
While Seminole hasn't lost since Sept. 14, Commerce (5-5) is 1-5 in its last six games. Each of those losses were to private school teams in the Tigers' tough Region 8-A schedule, and four of the wins were against schools in larger classes, so Ingram said Commerce's .500 record is deceiving.
"They are impressive looking on offense," Ingram said. "They have a lot of speed on the offensive line and execute well. They move the ball on everybody."
It has taken a lot to move the ball on the Indians this season. During their seven-game winning streak, they allowed just 8.7 points per game and had a pair of shutouts against Calhoun County and Miller County.
Fifteen players have 15 or more tackles for Seminole, including defensive lineman Alex Koonce, who leads the team with 63, and linebacker Brendan Kimble, who has 56.
If Seminole wins Friday it will host the winner of the Dooly County-Turner County game in the state quarterfinals.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — Dennis Ogbe scored 16 points and Jeremiah Samarrippas added 11 as Tennessee Tech held off SIU-Edwardsville 64-63 Saturday night.
The Golden Eagles (10-9, 3-1 Ohio Valley Conference) led by 10 at halftime and opened the second half on a 15-4 run after a trio of 3-pointers from Samarrippas to make it 47-26.
SIU-Edwardsville (4-13, 1-3) wouldn't go down easily, storming back to pull within two after a Keaton Jackson dunk with 1:08 remaining.
After Jordan Johnson split a pair of free throws, Donivine Stewart hit a layup to cut the Cougar deficit to one with 20 seconds left.
Following two missed free throws by Shirmane Thomas, Stewart couldn't hit a layup and Ray Lester missed the putback as time expired.
Tennessee Tech shot 49 percent from the field and had a 36-30 advantage in rebounding.
Kris Davis led the Cougars with 17 points and Jackson added 11.
SIUE Women
Tennessee Teach 72, SIUE 66
Despite a game-high 19 points from CoCo Moore, the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville women's basketball fell to Tennessee Tech at the Eblen Center.
Tennessee Tech, 5-11 and 2-1 in Ohio Valley Conference play, opened the game with a 17-3 run and held on for the win.
"It was all Tennessee Tech's tempo in the first half," said SIUE coach Paula Buscher. "We're right in there if we could get mentally and physically tougher."
Moore shot 7 of 15 from the field and added a team-best four assists for the Cougars, 4-12 and 1-3 in the OVC. Jessie Wendt and Micah Jones joined Moore in double figures with 13 and 11 points, respectively.
Diamond Henderson finished as TTU's leading scorer with 13 points. She was one of five players who scored in double figures for the Golden Eagles. Candace Parson and Mariah Dean both had double figures in points and rebounds for Tennessee Tech.
The Golden Eagles also won the battle of the boards 53-36. That included 26 offensive rebounds for the Golden Eagles.
"You can't give up 26 offensive boards and win a game," Buscher said.
After battling back to a 42-30 deficit at halftime, SIUE went on an 11-4 run of its own midway through the second half. Tierny Austin cut the lead to four points (54-50) on a pair of free throws with 6:07 to play.
SIUE made it a one-possession game with 1:01 left to play after Moore hit a layup after a pass from Miranda Brandt. But that was the closest SIUE would get down the stretch. The Eagles would hit eight free throws in the final minute to push back the Cougars.
"We've got to take care of the little things," said Buscher. "We're putting ourselves in position to win games, but we've got to show another level of physical and mental toughness as well as compete on a higher level for 40 minutes."
The road trip for the Cougars continues Monday with a 7 p.m. matchup at Jacksonville State.

Eastleigh drop into Blue Square relegation zone
7:30am Monday 7th January 2013 in Eastleigh FC By Daily Echo Reporter
Eastleigh manager Richard Hill refused to comment after the 3-1 defeat at Bromley that plunged his side into the Blue Square South relegation zone.
Cash-strapped Truro City are the only side below Eastleigh after they failed to capitalise on an early lead against a Bromley side who leapfrogged the Spitfires by responding positively to Jai Reason's fourth-minute penalty.
Bromley were without manager Mark Goldberg, who was watching son Bradley score a cracker for Hastings United at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup third round.
And it looked like it might be Eastleigh's afternoon when Damian Scannell was brought down and Reason smashed in his tenth of the season from the spot. But Eastleigh are preparing to entertain Billericay at the Silverlake Stadium tomorrow on the back of five successive Blue Square South defeats after conceding three goals without reply. Ali Fuseini, who was released by Eastleigh after playing just one game following his non-appearance at a match a year ago, netted a 28th-minute equaliser by reacting quickest to his header against the crossbar.
Eastleigh duo Glen Southam and Andy Forbes both missed the target with first-half headers before Bromley ensured a positive response to their New Year's Day defeat at home to Sutton United, with two second-half goals.

Richardson's Mexican background can help with the latino vote. I'm not sure that he deserves to be the contender in the general.
But, just the fact that a native-speaker of Spanish is running, endorses the fact that the Democratic Party speaks for hispanics. Too bad that his last name isn't spanish; shallow, I admit, but people don't pay close attention.
Speaking directly to the theme of map changing. Let's look at the states with substantial Mexican (or other latino) population. Obviously, the SouthWest. More significantly California, Texas, and Florida.
The big problem with the hispanic vote is turnout, which is partly due to people without citizenship, but more importantly due to povety and disenfranchisement. If Richardson can solve that problem (that is let people know that the Democratic Party can respond to their needs), then the map-changing ideas in this post have some merit.
Now, I also agree he hasn't been a very good campaigner.

I have a favorite place along the Potomac River where I sit on a rock in the shadow of paw paw trees. There I listen to the sound of running water and think and reflect. People who love nature regard such places natural shrines.
But how about people who don't particularly like the natural world? Does the Potomac offer them a shrine as well?
Yes it does, but it's not for the timid.
I chose to make my visit on the afternoon of the earthquake. Like all pilgrimages, it would be a search for answers. I didn't yet have any questions, but that would soon change.
My trailhead was the parking area at Lock 10, on the Clara Barton Parkway in Maryland. From there I followed the towpath upstream.
In the distance I could hear a faint roar, like a powerful wind in distant trees. As I drew closer the roar grew louder, now punctuated by shrieks and growls. It was the Beltway nearing rush hour, just approaching the American Legion Bridge.
At the concrete bridge support I found a faint trail that led toward the river. I followed as it skirted around rocks and thorny tangles.
Just as the path was about to enter the sanctuary under the bridge, I saw something in the shadows. It was a painting, massive and mysterious. Its fluid forms crawled over a slab of concrete. What did they mean?
It would be the first of many questions. I was entering the unknown.
Under the bridge, I picked my way across a bed of stones to where I could peer down the sloping hillside. My eye followed a succession of bridge supports, each one framing the other like archways in a cathedral. At the end shone a burst of light where the sun reflected off the river.
My eyes adjusted to the gloom. At the base of one of the bridge supports I spotted another monumental painting, and then many more. Some were abstract. Others portrayed animals or faces with menacing eyes.
Who were these artists? What was the purpose of their art? Were they transmitting information to other members of their group through symbols that I could not understand? I imagined that they came here at night. Spray cans in hand, they worked by the light of flickering electric torches.
Scholars of the Paleolithic caves of France and Spain speculate that the fabulous art that covers those walls might have served in rituals to teach youth important lessons. The darkness, the drumming, the chants of the shamans all heightened the initiate's senses and made the lessons unforgettable.
Did these paintings have a similar purpose? Or were they just an outlet for some guy with talent and a spray can?
I examined the paintings for clues about the minds of the artists and the world in which they live. The words they formed on the walls were familiar, but they made no apparent sense. The animals they portrayed were similar to the animals we know, but different.
I found the remains of a stone hearth with a few pieces of charcoal. Nearby were a couple of brown bottles and a plastic cup. Were they brought here by the same people who produced the paintings? Or were they perhaps deposited by floodwaters? A classic question for disputatious archaeologists.
I made my way towards the river. By now the overhead roar had begun to diminish. It was about 5:30 p.m. The Beltway had reached its capacity and traffic was practically at a standstill.
At the river's edge, I walked a few yards down the shoreline and then climbed an altar-like rock. The sun, still hidden behind the bridge above, would soon dip below the steel girder and shine on this very spot. I've seen similar altars, such as Machu Picchu's Temple of the Sun, which marks the summer solstice. Here, the sun's first rays would probably mark the height of the rush hour.
Close by grew a stand of big plants with lily-like flowers. It was jimson weed, aka Datura stramonium. The plant's toxic hallucinogens and have long been used in witches' brews, sometimes with deadly consequences. In some parts of the Amazon, people coming out of trances would draw their visions on the sides of their lodges. Were the Datura plants a pathway to understanding the meaning of the paintings?
Now I turned toward the river itself. At this point it narrows and becomes extremely deep, up to 70 feet in some places. The current sweeps around rocks, slowly, ominously.
What secrets does the river hold? In the Yucatan Peninsula, the ancient Maya people performed religious rituals on the shores of deep sinkholes called cenotes. In some of them, divers have found objects of gold and jade, and skeletons of children and adults.
What objects could we imagine in these murky depths? Tires, certainly. Also golf balls and bottles. Maybe criminal evidence, a hot handgun perhaps.
It was getting dark and I was in a hurry to leave. Along the river at nightfall I often hear a barred owl make its syncopated call, "who cooks for you." Instead, from somewhere above came the distinctive "potatopotato" rumble of a Harley Davidson.

Sussex-area residents shopping at a dozen local businesses – including the Main Street – were cut short Thursday morning after a piece of power equipment failed, leaving the stores in the dark.
Power was lost around 11:30 a.m., according to WE Energies representative Brian Manthey, and it's still in the process of being repaired. He says the repairs will take all afternoon.
"It's still going on right now," Manthey said. "It looks like in Sussex there are 12 customers out of power. They're still working on repairs… We're still doing repairs, and it will most likely take the rest of the afternoon, until about 5 or 5:30 p.m."
Manthey said he's unsure what specifically caused the power outage along Main Street, but he knows certain pieces of equipment need to be replaced.
Chief Colin "Corky" Curtis is also unsure what caused the outage, saying there's a possibility it could have been weather related.
"We did stand by and close off the entrance to the Pick 'n Save this afternoon until they had the situation denergized," Curtis said.
Firefighters have since left the business because the situation was under control, but that doesn't help Sussex Patch reader Ellen Venk. She sent Patch a message on Facebook saying she learned the strip mall didn't have power after going to get a haircut near the grocery store.
The stores will remain closed until power is restored to the buildings later this afternoon.

Original recipe yields 1 - 9x13 inch dish
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes. Whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, sour cream, chiles, and ranch dressing in a bowl; spread a thin layer of the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce into each tortilla; divide the chicken among the tortillas and sprinkle with 3/4 of the cheese. Roll the tortillas into cylinders and place seam-side-down into the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until hot, about 35 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven and cook a few more minutes until the cheese melts.

I LOVED this! I am not a ranch fanatic, but I made this because my husband is. I made it exactly as the recipe is written. And it turned out fantastic! Also tastes just as good the next day for leftovers. This one is a definite keeper!
These were fantastic! I made exactly as directed, but added onions. So good and even my picky eater gobbled them up! Thanks for the recipe!
I actually turned this into a casserole, didn't have time to roll the enchilada's, so I tore the tortillas into fourths and layered everything. Made this in a hurry for dinner and I forgot the ranch dressing! But it was still good! I served some Green Chili Salsa Verde on top.

Within these three broad categories, you can achieve very different looks depending on whether the 'lashes' are long/short, straight/curly, intermittent/plentiful etc etc.
There are also different kinds of 'fuzzy' yarns, e.g. fluffy mohair blends, chenille or boucle. Any yarn with some textural variety will give a more interesting effect to your finished piece. Don't be put off if the first fuzzy yarn you try leaves you frustrated – keep experimenting until you find yarns you like to work with!
To put it another way, always insert your hook from the middle towards the outside:
This way, most of the 'fuzz' will stay on the outside of the piece, which has two benefits:
The right side of the work (outside) – note it is lovely and fuzzy and the stitches are practically invisible.
The wrong side of the work (inside) – note it is much less fuzzy and it is much easier to see the stitches. The arrows show the front loops of stitches from 2 rounds – by counting those 'rings' of front loops, you can see how many rounds you've made if you lose your place in the pattern!
i found these tips really helpful – i don't think i'd have attempted to crochet with fuzzy yarn otherwise.
lol, forgot to say thanks
Your tips have been so helpful; I bought some Bernat Disco for a disco rug in my twins' room, and when I was ready to turn and start the second row I was completely lost. I was ready to throw in the towel when I read your article. I cannot thank you enough!
I came across this website while looking for pictures of monkeys for an AIDS assignment I have to do for Biology (lol). I've been trying to crochet a baby blanket out of fuzzy yarn and it just never happened. So You could beleive how thrilled I was to come across this, try it out, and actually see it work, I can't thank you enough!
Hi there! I just wanted to say that your tutorials are by far the easiest for me to understand, especially because of the detail and pictures.
I have a question about using back loops only for certain projects. I think I understand what you mean, but I can't visualize it. I've searched through your tutorials and I'm not sure if I'm overlooking it. Is there a back loop tutorial on your crochet pages?
Thanks a bunch!
Whoops, nevermind, found a video tutorial for back loops! Thanks again for the great site =)
wow, thank you.. first time im making a fuzzy thing, ive only just started crochet as well.. and guess what colour i picker: black><
My daughter in-law wants me to make antoher scarf for her using the fuzzy yarn but wants the colors (brown & pink) put together. So I'll be using two strands. I thought of knitting it, but have decided to crochet instead.
Thanks for the tips.
Thank you for the helpful hints! I've tried crocheting with a few fuzzy yarns but found that I couldn't make it past the first round. Now I can't wait to try out your tip of weaving a lightweight yarn together with the fuzzy one
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment here! I read and appreciate every comment. I only respond to questions here on the blog, so please return to this page to see my reply, or check the above box to subscribe to new comments by email.

Fans waiting for Iron Man 3 spoilers, or footage at least, to hit the internet may be in luck. The latest Iron Man's movie trailer description has apparently leaked online, leaving some to believe the actual trailer video will soon be online as well.
The latest Iron Man movie spoilers arrive from Ain't It Cool News via ComicBookMovie website. The site reports that a "possible description" for the third installment of the Marvel superhero series has potentially been leaked. Their description seen at the Comic Book website talks of "a somber trailer, dark and humorless, which seemed more in tone with The Dark Knight Rises than with any of the other Iron Man movies or the Avengers."
In the description, Tony Stark has apparently had enough of the whole superhero gig and fighting crime. There are scenes supposedly of him laying in the rubble, and taking off his faceplate to reveal a bloodied-up Stark. Other scenes show him arguing with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and his home being blown to bits, sending Tony and Pepper into the sea. The final shots show Stark swimming underwater towards his "heart reactor," before the new logo is shown. The final part has Tony walking through the snow dragging a large bag with him, followed by the logo, seen in the video below.
Not mentioned above, but also present in the description is talk of Mandarin, the newest villain for Iron Man to battle, as well as Don Cheadle, who plays War Machine. So in all, it sounds like quite a cast and has potential to stir up as much hype as The Dark Knight Rises, based on the more gritty, and somber plot it sounds like it has. The new movie should arrive within the next year, with Robert Downey Jr. reprising his role as Iron Man, before he returns to The Avengers 2 in 2015.
Are you excited to see the new Iron Man 3 movie trailer once it's released online? Do you think this could be the best of the three films, or will it have trouble beating its predecessors in the trilogy?

2012 NFL Draft Stock - Draft Week
This new section highlights which players have improved or worsened their 2012 NFL Draft stock as the draft approaches.
By Charlie Campbell.
Send Charlie an e-mail here: email@example.com
Follow Charlie on Twitter @draftcampbell for updates.
2012 NFL Draft Stock Up
Michael Brockers, DT, LSU
Brockers' draft stock has been on a yo-yo course for the past few months. Hours away from the draft starting, his stock is heading back up. Many projections have him as the second-rated defensive tackle behind Fletcher Cox. It wouldn't be surprising if Brockers goes ahead of Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe. Brockers (6-5, 322) is considered to be the best run defender among the defensive tackles.
With Cox moving into the top 10 of the draft. Brockers is getting consideration in the teens. He has taken more visits than any other prospect. There are a few teams that could consider him in the top half of the first round. Brockers could be a fit for the Seahawks, Cowboys or Eagles in the first 16 picks.
Whitney Mercilus, DE, Illinois
Mercilus is another defensive end who has enjoyed a late surge. For the majority of the past few months, Mercilus was being projected to be a late first-round pick, but in the final few weeks, most now believe that he will go in the top 20. San Diego, Chicago and Tennessee are all options to select Mercilus. All of those teams could use help on the edge of their defensive lines, and he is one of the best pass rushers in the draft. The early entry had a monster 2011 season with 57 tackles, 22.5 tackles for a loss, 16 sacks and nine forced fumbles.
There is some debate about the proper fit for Mercilus in the NFL. Some believe he would be best in a 3-4 defense as an outside linebacker. At Illinois, he played defensive end in a 4-3. Mercilus (6-4, 261) could play right end in a 4-3 and also should be able to add some bulk as he ages in an NFL strength and conditioning program. Mercilus has a nice repertoire of moves and the demand for pass rushers is relentless. It would be surprising if he fell out of the top 20.
Kevin Zeitler, G, Wisconsin
Zeitler had a fabulous senior season before getting off to a tough start in 2012. Despite a rough showing in the one-on-ones at the Senior Bowl, he has been getting pushed into the first round of many projections. Zeitler is a road-grading run blocker who performed better in pass protection during the season in actual games. Wisconsin running back Montee Ball had a ton of success running behind him the past couple of seasons.
Zeitler is strong at the point of attack and has no issues blasting open running lanes. He has more mobility and athletic ability than one might think. Zeitler did a good job of hitting blocks on the second level and in the open field on screen passes. The 6-foot-4, 314-pounder looks like a player who can play quickly in the NFL.
There are a number of teams that are looking for an interior lineman. After David DeCastro and Cordy Glenn, Zeitler is in the running with Amini Silatolu of Midwestern State to be the next guard off the board. Zeitler could sneak into the first round and should go early in the second round if he falls there.
Ronald Leary, G/T, Memphis
A sleeper offensive line prospect, Leary has received a lot of interest from teams in the lead up to the draft. He is an experienced edge blocker. Leary played at left and right tackle for Memphis as a freshman in 2008. Over the next three seasons, he was the Tigers' starter at left tackle, except for six games as senior when he moved inside to guard because of injuries.
Leary may be better off inside in the NFL. He had a quality Combine performance. Leary (6-3, 315) is probably an early-round pick on the third day of the draft but it is possible that he sneaks into the top 100.
2012 NFL Draft Stock Down
Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State
Adams is giving NFL teams the impression that he is a screw up. He was suspended multiple times at Ohio State and followed that up with a positive drug test at the NFL Scouting Combine. Players know they will have a drug test there, so the fact that he was incapable of taking precautions to avoid a positive test is nothing short of idiotic.
As a player, Adams has a lot of physical talent with speed and athletic ability at 6-foot-7, 323-pounds. He was very inconsistent at Ohio State and had some struggles with speed rushers. A questionable work ethic and character concerns have Adams' draft stock falling out of the first round. In the 2012 NFL Draft, he could easily slide into the second round, and it isn't out of the question for him to have a draft day free fall.
Zebrie Sanders, OT, Florida State
At one time, Sanders was being projected as a first-round pick by draft analysts at ESPN. That pretty much stopped after he was destroyed at the Senior Bowl. Since then, Sanders' stock has slowly and quietly crept lower and lower. He is a flexible lineman who could maybe move inside to guard in the NFL, but probably will stay at right tackle. Currently, Sanders (6-6, 320) looks like a third-round pick. He probably would be better off dropping some weight and playing in a zone-blocking system.
Alfonzo Dennard, CB, Nebraska
Dennard probably did the worst thing a prospect could do when he was arrested for punching a cop a week before the draft. Perhaps Dennard's side of the story improves the situation, but from a distance it looks terrible that he would even allow himself to be in a risky situation that caused police to show up. Prospects know to lay low before the draft to avoid any negative thing that could happen before draft day. He ignored that and ended up costing himself big time.
To make matters worse, Dennard was ejected from his final college football game after punching South Carolina wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. After this arrest, Dennard went from a second-day pick to, at best, a third-day pick. It is conceivable that he won't get drafted.

Vivienne, (from anon. above you) no one is offended by her inasprition. The bonnet is very inspiring. It's really about the cultural originality and how she's displaying it. You really wouldn't know or could possibly understand how it may be offensive to other people because you're obviously not Native American. Oh, and I'm sure that any church would be offended to know that an atheist was wearing their most valued relic.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently harpmeed by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

This guy makes me laugh. How many more worthless events and articles is he going to produce that have the election written all over? Bobby, do some real consensus-building and legislating. Bring some money and business into the district and stop with the band-aid solutions that an industrious high-school kid could put together.
dold's supporter July 27, 2012 at 05:33 PM
To some of you who think Dold should pay his employees at Rose Pest Solution any overtime: Congressman Robert Dold does not steal any money from his employees. Those money belong to the Company and thus, to the owner. Besides, the overtime laws favor the lazy employees and I hope Congressman Dold will change them because paying an employee overtime might hurt the business up to the point of closing down. The country was built working more than 40 hours per week with no overtime so why today's lazy bumbs want it? It's amazing how evil Democrats are and how hard are trying to bankrupt small businesses who provide a job to people who don't deserve jobs anyway because many time, they steal from their employers.

If you haven't experienced seeing seizures in dogs before, it ... Read more →
About Canine Seizures
A seizure is described as an abnormal burst of activity in the brain. Some seizures may last a few minutes, where as others can last hours at a time. There are four main types of seizures in dogs; generalized seizure, focal seizures, cluster seizures and status epilepticus. Although seizures can affect any dog, there are some things to keep in mind. Almost 70% of dogs between the ages of 1 and 6 will suffer from seizures and epilepsy. There are also some breeds who are more prone to seizures than others.
These breeds include:
- Golden Retrievers
- Dachshunds
- Beagles
- Collies
- Labrador Retrievers
- Poodles
- German Shepherds
Dogs that are older may start to get seizures more often than compared with younger dogs.
Types of Dog Seizures
The following are the 4 different kinds of seizures that affect dogs:
Generalized (grand mal) Dog Seizures
This happens before an actual seizure. During this stage, your dog may display behavioral changes that may indicate a seizure is about to happen. These signs may be restlessness, pacing, crying and whining, or neediness.
Following these indications, a dog seizure will occur. These seizures will usually only last 30 seconds to 2 minutes. During this seizure, your dog will collapse, his limbs will become rigid and he will become unconscious. After a few seconds, he may start shaking or running in place. He may also drool, vomit or defecate.
After the seizure is finished, the post-seizure state will set in. Your dog will regain consciousness and will likely appear confused and disorientated. When walking, your dog may fall over or run into walls or objects. This post-seizure phase may last a few minutes, or a few hours.
Partialized (Focal motor) Seizures
These type of dog seizures are usually only limited to one area of the body. This means twitching or jerking of a certain limb. Partial seizures may also affect the face.
There are two main types of partial seizures; simple and complex. In a simple partial seizure, your dog is usually awake and alert. The face is most commonly affected, and may resemble twitching on one side. Sometimes simple partial seizures in dogs will spread to other areas of the body, making the limbs shake uncontrollably.
Complex partial canine seizures are when your dog's behavior is affected. These seizures affect the part of the brain that controls behavior. During these seizures, your dog may become aggressive, be pacing around, biting his limbs, chattering his teeth and seem to be afraid of nothing at all.
Cluster Seizures
Cluster seizures are when your dog has convulsions or episodes that are more than once in 24 hours. If your dog experiences more than three seizures in 24 hours, it is considered to be a very serious situation that requires medical attention right away. Waiting too long for treatment of cluster seizures may result in serious consequences, and of course, more seizures at a time.
Status Epilepticus
These types of dog seizures are very serious. Status Epilepticus is a seizure that is prolonged or that is continuous. If left untreated, these seizures can lead to brain damage, hyperthermia and death. In order to treat these dog seizures, your dog will likely be placed on diazepam, or other medications to ease the seizures.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Wind chills of up to minus 20 degrees are in store for Niagara and Orleans counties Thursday through Friday afternoon, posing risks of frostbite and hypothermia for those outside for even brief periods of time.
The National Weather Service issued a wind chill advisory early Thursday citing winds of 15 to 25 mph. Combined with heavy and blowing snow, hazardous conditions have been created.
A winter storm warning was issued for Thursday afternoon through early Friday morning. Visibility will be as low as half a mile in parts of Niagara County, according to the weather service. About 4 to 8 inches of accumulation are expected for Thursday and 2 to 4 inches overnight. Roads may be icy as temperatures below 15 degrees hamper the effect of salt on roads.
National Weather Services urges people to dress warmly if they must go outside and cover all exposed skin. In case of power loss, make sure that generators are outside and properly ventilated. Space heaters should also be ventilated properly and only used if they're working correctly. Make sure snow does not block exhausts and fresh air intakes on high-efficiency furnaces and water heaters.

Fox Buys Legal Drama From '24' Team Deadline
Following their reteaming for "24: Live Another Day," former "24" showrunner and executive producer Howard Gordon and executive producer Evan Katz are keeping the partnership going, Deadline.com reports.
"Fox, the network of '24' and the upcoming event series '24: Live Another Day,' has given a script commitment with penalty to 'Trial of the Century,' a serialized legal thriller from 20th Century Fox TV and two studio-based companies, Gordon's Teakwood Lane and Bryan Furst, Sean Furst and Richard Shepard's Olé," the story reports.
Katz is writing the project as part of his deal with 20th Television, the piece notes.
"'Trial of the Century' is told from the POV of a young Latina attorney working on a unique high-profile case," the story reports. "Katz, Gordon, Bryan & Sean Furst and Shepard are executive producing, with Shepard attached to direct if the project goes to pilot."

According to a new study published in the journal of Psychological Science, men with bigger biceps tend to more self-interested politically than men with more modest arms. To test the correlation between gun size and political beliefs, the researchers asked subjects questions about the redistribution of wealth in the country. They found that "men with upper body strength feel more entitled to advantageous outcomes."
In addition to bicep size, they took socioeconomic status into consideration, keeping in mind that "wealthy people don't necessarily vote conservative and poor people don't necessarily vote liberal." What they found was that these two factors in combination made it way easier to predict a man's political stance. Men with big biceps and more money tended to oppose the spread of wealth while men with smaller biceps and less money were in favor of redistribution.
Imagine that! Keep reading »

A Joplin woman waived her right to a preliminary hearing Thursday and was ordered bound over for trial on a charge of promoting child pornography.
Channah C. Case, 25, waived the hearing in Jasper County Circuit Court in Joplin and was ordered by Associate Judge Richard Copeland to make an initial appearance Oct. 22 in a trial division of the court.
Case was arrested in March after an investigation by a detective with the Jasper County Sheriff's Department who is assigned to the Southwest Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force. The detective had come across several files of child pornography on the Internet, according to a probable-cause affidavit.
The Internet protocol address of the computer was identified, and a search warrant was obtained for Case's residence at 2338 S. Highview Ave., according to the affidavit. A forensic preview of three computers in the home allegedly turned up 15 videos and four images of child pornography.

Machete attack horror at Accrington barber's shop
11:00am Tuesday 28th May 2013 in Accrington By Vanessa Cornall, Crime reporter
MACHETE wielding thugs have left two men with 'serious injuries' after attacking them in an Accrington barber's shop.
The two victims had been inside the shop in Ormerod Street when four masked men carrying machetes and knives forced their way inside.
Detectives investigating the incident said the gang attacked the pair before forcing them into the street.
The thugs also attacked a parked car during the incident at midnight on Saturday.
Police said they were alerted to the incident after witnesses called an ambulance.
The victims both suffered deep wounds and had to be taken to hospital by paramedics.
One of the men, a 23-year-old man from Accrington sustained a serious head injury while, the other a 24-year-old man also from Accrington suffered a serious cut to his arm, police said.
Both men are being treated at the Royal Blackburn Hospital and their condition was yesterday described as 'serious but not life threatening'.
Detectives investigating the incident are now urging anyone who witnessed the incident to come forward.
DI Claire Holbrook, of Eastern division's public protect unit, said: "We are treating this incident extremely seriously.
"Despite the offenders wearing facial coverings we will endeavour to bring these extremely violent offenders to justice.
"I urge anyone with information about the attack to come forward and contact police."
Extra police patrols have been launched in the area to try reassure residents. Police said they were looking for a gang of Asian men in connection with the attack.
A 23-year-old man from Accrington was arrested and released on police bail pending further inquiries.
Anyone with information about the incident should call police on 101.

Want a fun way to use up all the candy the Easter Bunny left behind? Make Easter Candy Milkshakes! The kids and I made these yesterday and everyone agreed- they were delicious!!
Here is what you'll need to make your own Candy Milkshakes:
- 3 cups of vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup of candy (we used peanut butter eggs for one batch and Robin's Eggs for another- they were both great!)
- 1/2 cup of creamer (you can add more if you want your shake thinner- ours were very thick!)
I will be honest, we make milkshakes quite often here, especially in the summer, but instead of using milk, we now use coffee creamer- it is a "secret ingredient" that makes all the difference!
For this recipe, we used International Delight "Sweet Cream" creamer and it was perfect! We have used other flavors before and we have never been disappointed! (One of my favorite combinations is Almond Joy candy bars, chocolate ice cream and Almond Joy creamer- YUM!)
- Add all ingredients in a blender and blend until combined.
- Pour into 2 glasses and enjoy!

After letting out a disgruntled sigh, USC coach Lane Kiffin announced he had to be going and left.
Kiffin was 29 seconds into his midweek meeting with the media when an injury-related question was asked. That ended the discussion.
Kiffin's disdain for talking about injuries is shared by many coaches in the Pacific-12 Conference. Washington coach Steve Sarkisian recently announced prior to the UW-Portland State game that he would no longer discuss injuries. This runs counter to the openness he touted when he arrived on campus in late 2008.
But gradually he has joined Oregon, Stanford, USC and Washington State in the current mode of lip-zipping regarding injuries, citing his forthrightness as a competitive disadvantage.
A run of recent incidents have caused Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott to suggest considering a uniform injury report for the conference, a dramatic step only the Atlantic Coast Conference has taken. The idea, embraced by Sarkisian and Washington athletics director Scott Woodward, will be discussed at an October meeting of the conference's athletics directors.
But not all coaches have jumped on that bandwagon. Washington State coach Mike Leach has derided reporters who are interested in injury news as "slackers" and said he would he would not follow any league-mandated policy. Oregon coach Chip Kelly, who does not acknowledge injuries, said the issue is "silly."
Scott's idea is a multi-layered gamble. What happens when a Pac-12 team plays a foe from conference that does not share the policy, especially in a bowl game? How specific will it be? How would the conference enforce it?
"You tell me,'' Woodward said. "How do you enforce traffic tickets? That's always the tough question.''
The ACC schools don't give injury reports for non-conference games and not all schools provide information since it is a "guideline" versus a "policy." There is no penalty for failing to report.
The NFL's approach to weekly injury reports is vague, but does clarify if a player is not participating in an upcoming game, something college coaches try to hide. It also exists, in part, to help set betting lines in Las Vegas. Point spreads move alongside injury news on Twitter and info crawls on television screens. This concerns Seattle Sea-hawks coach Pete Carroll, who was mentor to Kiffin and Sarkisian.
"I don't think that's necessary at all," Carroll said. "I mean, who's that important to? I hate to mention who I think it's important to, because it has nothing to do (with the game) … I don't think that needs to be part of college football."
Gambling is not a topic often discussed by those in the college ranks, yet, as Carroll points out, it needs to be considered.
The "competitive advantage" argument has little merit. If, as was the case for USC's recent game against Stanford, an All-Pac-12 second-team center does not play, any opponent with a moderate amount of football intelligence would adjust early in the game. Stanford's defense did that by going up the middle against USC, which was playing without center Khaled Holmes.
Another aspect is protecting players. Designating specific injuries could lead to targeting by opponents during the game. That's a legitimate concern and most injury reports contain specifics such as "upper body" or "leg."
In addition, Woodward said the proliferation of media sources makes it much more difficult to hide injuries.
"There's so much access, and there's so many people, and so many access points in it that there are no more secrets," Woodward said. "In the '70s you could hide injuries, or in the '80s you could hide injuries and no one would ever know. You can't hide anything now.''
That won't stop coaches from trying.
"There isn't a rule for the league, so the guys get to handle it the way they feel best, and I think that's what they should do," Carroll said. "If I was choosing, I would say that nobody had to say a thing, and you'd wait until game time and figure it out. But I don't know how that changes around the conferences and around the country. If it was uniform, it would be great. And if it was uniform, I wish it would be that you didn't have to disclose a thing."
One of Carroll's charges disagrees. Ex-Stanford standout and current Seahawks wideout Doug Baldwin thinks college football should have the same policy as the NFL.
"One person doesn't make the team, so if that person is injured, it doesn't make any sense to me for it to become a circus and to try and withhold information about who's playing and who's not playing," Baldwin said. "The game of football is pure. Either you can play, or you can't. And if you're injured, or you can't play that week, then what's the fuss?"
The fuss has grown into a fervor, and change could be coming as soon as this year.Eric D. Williams contributed to this report. email@example.com blog.thenewstribune.com/uwsports @Todd_Dybas

Variable frequency drives supplied for retrofit project
Siemens is supplying two Robicon Perfect Harmony VFDs to the Otter Tail Power Company for their plant in South Dakota as part of a $490 million environmental retrofit project that is scheduled for completion by 2015.
Siemens, in partnership with Fougner Engineered Sales, has been selected by Otter Tail Power Company to provide two Robicon Perfect Harmony variable frequency drives (VFD) for environmental upgrades at the Big Stone Plant, a coal-fired power plant that the company operates in Big Stone City, South Dakota.
In May, plant owners Otter Tail Power Company, Montana-Dakota Utilities Co., and NorthWestern Energy, approved a plan calling for $490 million in environmental retrofits, including a new air-quality control system to be commissioned within five years of the Environmental Protection Agency's approval of the South Dakota Regional Haze State Implementation Plan.
Two Siemens Robicon Perfect Harmony WCIII drives will support a new dry scrubber to reduce sulfur dioxide. Plans also call for a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide.
Siemens Robicon Perfect Harmony Drives use a series of low-voltage cells linked together and scaled precisely for a wide range of voltage and output power. The cell bypass ensures automatic bypass of a failed power cell in less than 500 milliseconds and instead of shutting down the entire drive, a process-tolerant protection system (ProToPS) provides a hierarchical system of warnings. This control strategy allows time to evaluate the situation and respond appropriately. This concept also enables easy access to drive components for scheduled maintenance. Siemens VFDs also meet IEEE 519 standards for input power harmonic distortion.
Otter Tail Power Company estimates that retrofits to the 475-MW Big Stone Plant, in operation since 1975, will be completed by mid-2015.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
